Chapter 62 The Great Ideal

After traveling through time, Li Hao actually just wanted to be a quiet salted fish.

Count money every day, flirt with girls, and live a beautiful life.

As for training troops, it’s just a little effort. After all, there is a gap of 1,400 years. It’s enough to deal with everything by doing some military theories and cooperating with some conventional military training.

He never expected that after showing his skills, the old men in the court praised him on the surface, but did not take him seriously at all in their bones, and just wanted to treat him as a gun.

Since this is the case, don’t blame me for being tooth for tooth and eye for eye.

Hongfu felt a little distressed when he saw his son standing there motionless, so he stepped forward to comfort him: "Dejian, don't take some trivial matters to heart. With your mother and your father here, you will definitely not be wronged."

"Mom, the child is fine, but I feel a little uncomfortable." Li Hao explained and breathed a deep breath: "I'm going to find my father. Mom, please do other things first."

Looking at his son who seemed to have grown a lot all of a sudden, Hongfu smiled and pushed him behind him: "Go, tell your father well, don't be mean."

...

...

Li Jing didn't expect his son to come so quickly. He was sitting in the study thinking about training the new army. When he saw Li Hao coming in and asked in a deep voice: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Yes." Li Hao nodded and sat next to Li Jing: "Dad, I have some ideas and want to discuss with you."

I have an idea so soon, why don’t I want to give up?

Li Jing's heart skipped a beat and frowned and said, "Then let's talk about it, just as my father wants to hear it."

Li Hao grinned and asked a question that made Li Jing very puzzled: "Dad, what do you think is the most lacking in my soldiers in the Tang Dynasty?"

Of course, Li Jing would not think that Li Hao would say that the soldiers lacked armor. Although this is a fact, it is a well-known fact and there is no need to take it out and explain it clearly.

After asking the question, Li Hao did not wait for the old man to answer, and continued to say to himself: "I think what they lack is belief and belief in why they fight. In their opinion, joining the army is to have enough food and save some food for their family.

Such soldiers are hardly considered qualified soldiers. They may be fine to fight with the wind, and there is no problem with the strong generals. But who can guarantee that every war will be so smooth?

So I think that the first thing a strong army must do is to know why to fight, supreme honor, firm belief and lofty ideals are necessary factors to support a strong army."

Li Jing sat upright with a rare look, looked directly at Li Hao, and his heart was filled with huge waves.

Is this my son? He is only fourteen, right? He has already started to think about such a profound problem.

When I was fourteen, I seemed to be still learning art in the mountains. Apart from practicing martial arts every day, the only thing I thought about was how to dig out honeycombs and catch rabbits.

By the time I understand these things, I am almost at 1940.

Li Jing tried hard to calm his voice: "Since you said that the soldiers lack faith, how can there be a solution?"

"Of course, the easiest way is to use brainwashing to instill a belief in them, or to be more complicated, teach them to read, let them know what a sense of honor, what country, and what home is, so that they know that besides having enough food, there are more things in this world worth pursuing."

Li Hao's eyes were full of fanaticism: "In addition, soldiers need to be professional, and they do not seek to be granted a wife, son, son, and generals, but I recommend the prosperous Tang Dynasty with my blood, and the heroic spirit will last forever, and the immortal soul of the war is the supreme ideal of my professional soldiers in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Jing flatly denied: "This is impossible. The Tang Dynasty implemented the system of military troops like the former Sui Dynasty. If soldiers were professionalized, it would inevitably lead to a large-scale reduction in grain production. At that time, there would be no wars, and famine alone would completely collapse the Tang Dynasty."

Li Hao shook his head: "I didn't say that all the Sixteen Guards are professionalized. I mean that my subordinates must be professional soldiers. An army of 1,200 people is believed to be able to raise the court. Besides, I heard that there is a rice that can produce three seasons a year in Chameng. I have already told His Majesty that Tang Jian went south a few days ago, and it seems that this is the case."

Li Jing:...

Rice that can produce three seasons a year? Why haven’t I heard of it?

If this is true, the court may be able to afford hundreds of thousands of professional soldiers.

Compared to training the new army, the three-season rice no longer mattered to Li Jing. He just glared at Li Hao and continued: "I don't know whether your plan is good or bad, everything needs to be tested by experience. Are you really sure?"

"Of course there is." Li Hao nodded heavily.

There are some examples that are ready to be made in later generations, and there is nothing to be sure about.

When I train my soldiers, those old people who are waiting to see me jokes will regret it.

Oh, by the way, Li Hao, who was swearing to the chest, suddenly remembered something: "Dad, you are the Minister of War. I will not have any impact on you when I go to train troops, right?"

Li Jing said disdainfully: "What impact can this have? You should not avoid relatives from your own, and you should not avoid enemies from outside. You are acting in accordance with Your Majesty's will. Who dares to argue?"

Li Hao's eyes lit up: "Great. Dad, I have an idea. Can you allocate three times the military salary to me? In addition, the child also needs a large amount of training equipment, military uniforms, and weapons, which need to be communicated with the Ministry of Works and Generals. Also, food issues are also the key point, and ensuring the supply of a large amount of meat during training is also essential. You have to help solve these."

This is obviously just about being on the nose. Li Jing suddenly regretted that he agreed to this kid too early.

Seeing that the old man was about to turn against each other, Li Hao quickly added: "Dad, people say they don't steam buns and try to make a sigh of relief. You will never watch the soldiers trained by the child be compared by the family, right? The child represents your face."

When I was bragging, I didn’t think about me, but now I think of my face.

Li Jing didn't want to pay attention to this brat anymore, so he waved his hand impatiently: "Get out, get out of here immediately, go whatever you should do."

Okay, when Li Hao saw that the old man was not angry, he knew that the matter was halfway through, so he patted his butt and got up and left.

The scumbags of Ling Mansion, I’m coming, are you ready?

Five kilometers of armed crossing, armed swimming, four hundred meters of obstacles, are waving to you, grabbing and fighting, living in the wild cheers to you, training in a queue, and gathering urgently is waiting for you.
