Chapter 391 Opera ‘Here Comes the Commander’!
Zhu Biao was stunned.
He didn't understand the meaning of 'sugar-coated bullets'.
Xia Zhibai took the initiative to explain: "If the Ming Dynasty wants to raise the status of the army, the simplest way is to let the people recognize the army, and if you want the people to recognize the army, in addition to winning battles, the most effective way is to propagandize, and the Ming Dynasty There are many places where the army can promote itself.”
"The Battle of Poyang Lake, the Battle of Hongdu Water, the Battle of Pingjiang, etc., are actually worth writing about."
"Just relying on ordinary means to promote it is of little use."
"Because this is just a gust of wind. Once it blows, it will pass."
"But what if several monuments are built in local places to commemorate the recovery of China? If the achievements of these soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are written down, they can be admired by local people all the time and praise their outstanding contributions to the world. His Highness thinks, how many soldiers can resist Can you resist this temptation? ”
Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this.
This was an angle he hadn't thought of.
By erecting monuments, the names of these generals were passed down.
In this way, these generals will naturally not object, and since they are erecting a monument, they naturally want to write it down in a good way, so as to reiterate the military disciplines. These generals of the Ming Dynasty have gained their reputation, so they must maintain it no matter what, at least not Make military discipline appear too corrupt, otherwise wouldn't it be exposed immediately?
The person holding the hand is short-handed!
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and said: "This is a good idea."
"They are naturally happy to see these generals promoted to high places, but at the same time, they have to accept the improvement of military discipline. Otherwise, if military discipline is still so casual, wouldn't it damage their image in the hearts of the people?"
"Moreover, military attachés have always loved reputation, especially good face. In order to maintain their own face, they will also ask for it from the soldiers below."
Xia Zhibai added: "Since it is a monument, it must be objective to a certain extent. In addition to the living, the dead must also be recorded. The living must know that all this is hard-won. This is the result of how much hard work the world has put in. And how much price they paid to do this.”
"These monuments should not only bear the names of the generals, but also the names of the soldiers at that time."
"They are also worthy of praise from the world."
"Many of the generals of the Ming Dynasty now may not have been generals as soon as they arrived in the past. There may be other generals above them. It's just that after so many years of war, many people died in battle, and they were able to rise to high positions. It also reminds them of the past and makes them sigh that the past has passed away. ”
"Compared to those who have died in the battle, they have received enough now."
Zhu Biao nodded.
He agreed very much with this.
Many generals of the Ming Dynasty, after becoming famous, many of them disappeared.
They felt that they had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty and did not pay attention to other officials who were newly promoted to the court. However, they forgot that along the way, too many civil servants and military officers died. It was on the bodies of these dead people that they received so many rewards.
They should not be arrogant, but self-sufficient.
Xia Zhibai added: "In the scope of the world, summon the old troops and give certain recognition and awards to these 'old soldiers' who have paid sweat and blood for the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so that they can be honored and feel that they are What they did in the past was extremely glorious and made them feel proud from the bottom of their hearts. ”
"Establish a strong sense of identity and mission among these veterans."
"They are the best publicity mouth."
"If conditions permit, the generals among the generals will also be sent over to let them meet with the veterans and see what they are doing now. Relying solely on the court's appeal and relying on the court to find solutions will ultimately be the end result. It’s not enough, the army generals have to take care of themselves.”
"They themselves have no sense of protecting the army. Even if His Majesty and His Highness are serious, they are just playing the piano to a cow."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement.
If you don't work hard yourself and rely entirely on the court's efforts, it is doomed to be in vain. He said with satisfaction: "Your ideas are all good, I have taken note of them. Although this will cost a lot more, it will greatly boost the morale of the army and consolidate the Ming army's military strength." The prestige of the place can further establish the reputation of the Ming army as loving the people.”
“It’s money well spent.”
He could still see clearly.
Although these things will cost a lot of money, they will be of great help to the Ming Dynasty in rectifying military discipline, and they can also provide some restraints on the military generals. It will not take long for the Ming Dynasty to send troops to Naha in the northeast. Driven by these things , the military morale has been greatly boosted, and the military morale is usable. How can we be unjust after Naha comes out?
This amount of money is much less than ten days and a half more months of fighting.
Xia Zhibai added: "When those monuments are completed, His Highness can personally preside over them, talk to the veterans, and at the same time communicate more with the young and young in the army, so as to convey some of His Highness's ideas to these veterans. Word of mouth, spread throughout the world, this can also establish a name for His Highness.”
Hear the words.
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.
I'm afraid there's still room for discussion on this matter.
If there is such a beautiful thing, I'm afraid His Majesty will go there in person. Where will it be his turn to play?
Moreover, the veterans in the army did not have much affection for him. They always respected His Majesty. However, he also remembered Xia Zhibai's words. If there was a chance, he could give it a try. It would be of great benefit to him. No harm done.
Xia Zhibai smiled and said: "This is for the generals and soldiers, and also for His Majesty."
"Well?" Zhu Biao looked at Xia Zhibai suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
Xia Zhibai smiled and said: "Your Highness, you know that the eldest son of King Zhou likes opera."
Zhu Biao frowned, thought for a moment, and said uncertainly: "I seem to have heard of it before. Is it that Zhu Youdou?"
Xia Zhibai nodded.
Zhu Biao asked doubtfully: "If I remember correctly, Gu's nephew is only eight years old, right?"
Xia Zhibai nodded again with a smile and said: "It is true that he is only eight years old, but this young prince really likes opera. Therefore, if His Majesty is also traveling, we can ask the King of Zhou to send some actors to choreograph a play called 'The Marshal is Coming' .”
"When the commander-in-chief came, the people worked as cattle and horses for the landlords and gentry as slaves and maids. They had no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. But after the commander-in-chief's rebels came, they not only killed the landlords, but also divided the land for them. Life has gotten better, so people in other places are looking forward to the commander-in-chief.”
"On the one hand, it promotes the strict military discipline of the Ming army, and on the other hand, it also shows that the Ming Dynasty's unification of the world is what the people want."
Zhu Biao's eyes became brighter and brighter.
In the end, I couldn't help but clap my hands and cheer.
This idea is really good.
wonderful.
Your Majesty usually doesn't like to be flattered by others, but if it is an opera made up by the people themselves, Your Majesty must like it and love to watch it. Moreover, this is a fact in itself and is really done by Your Majesty. How could Your Majesty do it? Blame?
His Majesty has never been very interested in these years and is rarely happy. It would be a blessing to make His Majesty happy.
even.
In Zhu Biao's view, the importance of this drama is far greater than other suggestions.
And much higher.
