Chapter 211: Wings
At night, Li Li read at night with a light, and read the military book "Six Strategies".
This book is also known as "Taigong Six Strategies" and "Taigong's Art of War". It is said that it was written by Taigong Wang (i.e. Jiang Ziya) in the early Zhou Dynasty. It was compiled in the way Taigong talked with King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou.
Of course, it is generally believed that this book was written by later generations, and it is just named Taigong Wang.
The specific time of the book was probably during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After all, this work was quite famous during the Han Dynasty.
The content, volumes and sub-items of the book have multiple "versions". The so-called "Six Strategies" are roughly: Wen Tao, Wu Tao, Long Tao, Hu Tao, Bao Tao, and Quan Tao.
Now, what Li Li read is divided into "Long Tao", and the content is very interesting.
King Wu asked Taigong (Jiang Ziya): "A king must have wings to become a powerful god, what should I do if I do?"
Taigong said: "Whenever you raise an army and command a general, you will be loyal to the general. If you do not follow one skill, you will be able to be appointed as the director's strengths and change at any time, and you will be the rule."
"There will be seventy-two people who will be able to respond to the way of heaven."
"Prepare numbers according to the law, understand numerology, have special abilities and skills, and everything will be done."
Therefore, Taigong explained how "the wings" performed their duties and assisted the king's "chief" (the army commander).
Taigong believes that the wings should be composed of 72 people, including talents in all aspects such as confidant, counselor, astronomy, geographical location, military strategy, food and power, subduing power, limbs, generals, powerful men, ears and ears, minions, wings, wandering men, sorcerers, alchemists, alchemists, and magical calculations.
He is in charge of combat, propaganda, espionage, astronomy (meteorology), communication, civil engineering, medical care, military supplies and other aspects.
Therefore, the content of "Long Tao" is to tell readers how to build a commander.
Can be collected!
These "strong wings" are staff members and counselors in charge of military affairs. The current official titles are all kinds of "joining the army".
Like the "military advisor" in the Romance, of course, the military advisors in the Romance story are basically all-round talents.
If you change the term "Staff", it will be better for modern people.
Therefore, when human society began to engage in war activities, there was already a staff system, but the term "staff" appeared relatively late.
However, there is still a difference between the military staff and the staff of the ancient military government.
Li Li felt that the difference was not in his function, because whether it was an ancient military staff or a staff member under the modern military system, their functions were the same, but they were just different names.
One of the differences is that the staff of the modern military system has a more detailed division of labor and is more professional. It is a "professional talent" cultivated in batches by a complete military system and a "industrial product" produced by a streamlined production line.
In ancient times, the professional skills of the staff and counselors depended entirely on personal talent or understanding, as well as work accumulation, and did not receive systematic education.
Just like handmade products produced by craftsmen in handicraft workshops, it is difficult to "mass-manufacture".
Handmade products may have one or two ingenious craftsmanship, with extremely high upper limit, that is, a "magic weapon" (genius) that is rare in a century.
However, during the national war, the war machine that is assembled with mass-produced industrial products can rely on the power of the group to suppress one or two magical artifacts.
The second difference is that modern staff serves the entire army, while ancient military staff serves (loyalty) the official lord.
The reason why a staff officer becomes a staff officer is that the system determines whether a person can have the corresponding knowledge and skills to hold this position.
The military chief resignation has nothing to do with the staff. The staff still performs its duties and provides "professional services" to the new chief. There is no need to follow the chief to take office. The future has nothing to do with the chief;
Of course, if the master is appreciated and the chances of promotion increase greatly, that is another matter.
The reason why an aide becomes an aide is that the head of the government believes in the ability of the aide and asks the aide to help with things.
Therefore, the wealth and prosperity of the staff follow the head of the government. The head of the government has to follow the place elsewhere, and they have to follow it, prosper and lose together.
This is very important and can help Li Li solve a big problem.
He put down the book, looked at the candlelight, and began to think.
Since ancient times, the crown prince generally did not take charge of the battle, because it was not easy to deal with whether he won or lost.
If you lose, your reputation will be greatly lost, and your status as a crown prince is unstable.
If you win, your influence in the army will increase greatly, and you can even cultivate your own team of confidants and aids, which will greatly increase the threat to the emperor.
Then, if a "team" like the "General Staff" is used to provide "military services" to the crown prince who is in charge of the war, the reputation will be returned to the crown prince after winning the battle, but the crown prince is not easy to win people's hearts and cultivate staff.
If you lose, it is because the General Staff cannot do it and share most of the responsibilities.
This is the optimal solution for Li Li: both father and son can gain power through "destroying Zhou and unifying the world", which is very helpful for the continuation of the dynasty and the smooth transition of power.
There are already staff members in the army, but to establish a staff system and formally replace the traditional military staff system, a lot of work needs to be done, which takes time to get started.
Because the new system, like new shoes, requires a running-in period.
If the new system is used to command the army to carry out a decisive battle that concerns the direction of the world's situation during the running-in period, wouldn't it be too "spoken"?
The reason is the same as the long-distance running athletes wearing new running shoes they just bought (not yet running-in) during the Olympic finals.
How many years will it take to wait for the running-in?
Li Li did not seek immortality, but only wanted to achieve the "unification of the world" in his lifetime. In this way, it would be worthy of his hard work for decades.
However, the medical level is extremely low these days. Even the emperor who is arrogant may die of illness due to "occasionally contracted with wind and cold".
How many years will I wait? What if I suddenly die of illness?
Although it was already autumn, it was still quite hot at night. Li Li got up and went to the window and pushed the slightly opened window completely.
The night wind blew, bringing a cool feeling, but the candle next to the desk was extinguished by the wind because it was not placed in a cover.
The room was sunk into darkness, and only the moonlight sprinkled on the ground outside brought some pale light to the room.
Li Li turned back to the desk in the moonlight and groped slowly.
When I touched the lighter, I held it in my hand.
The lighter is called "Flint Lighter", which is cylindrical, three fingers thick, and the ignition mechanism is a flint device. The sparks produced fall into the tinder, which can ignite the tinder stained with gunpowder.
The flintlock device is located on the side of the tube, and its hammer carries flint like a bird's beak.
The small pit with tinder has a movable top cover (controlled by a leaf spring, covering the pit). The upper part of the top cover is a vertical plate, facing the hammer flint, like a feather standing up, which is used to strike the anvil.
So the flint lighter looks like a duck who heads back and combs his tail.
When in use, pull the hammer backwards, and after it is in place, the button at one end of the cylinder (one end of the hammer) protrudes outward.
Press the bulge, and the hammer hits forward suddenly, and the flint hits the anvil, and while creating some sparks, push it backwards.
So, Mars fell into a small pit with open cover and ignited the tinder inside.
Come to the candle and light it.
After the fire was finished, Li Li looked at the flint lighter in his hand, and his face was lit by candlelight.
This lighter has a strange appearance, many edges and corners, easy to hook and hang external objects, and is extraordinary and portable, but is actually not a good household ignition device.
but...
Li Li looked at the side of the case and placed something horizontally.
With it, you don’t have to worry about the running-in period because the error tolerance rate has increased significantly.
The war to unify the world and the final decisive battle should have a new role to make its debut.
Next to the bed, Zhang Lihua, who woke up slowly, did not open her eyes and reached out to touch her, and it was empty.
Touch a little further and there is someone.
Zhang Lihua leaned over and burped into the arms of the person next to her, but realized something was wrong: Why is the chest...
When I opened my eyes, I found that it was Miss Xiao, who was sleeping soundly.
Zhang Lihua looked up and saw Li Li standing beside the desk, holding a long stick in his hand, and his movements were like holding a crossbow, aiming the front end of the stick out the window.
It seems to be aiming at something.
With a "bang", a fire suddenly flashed near Li Li's cheek on the back of the long stick.
It seems that the device on the long stick is igniting.
Is this a weapon?
Zhang Lihua didn't understand and didn't care.
The emperor owns the world, she only needs to own the emperor.
