Chapter 1057 Military Morale Is Available
At the meeting to raise the account in the main hall, Commander-in-Chief Luo Feng proposed the strategic goals of the Human Defense Force: Goal 1 is to annihilate the demon army that escaped from the Demon Locking Tower on the premise of protecting itself; Goal 2 is to annihilate the demon army that escaped from the Demon Locking Tower due to the inability to rescue the capital of the Song Dynasty. When the capital fell, the imperial court was destroyed, and the royal family became extinct, the descendants of Nuwa were established as the new human royal family, and a new imperial court with equal emphasis on civil and military affairs was established.
It is not surprising that the martial arts people really abandoned their loyalty to the Song Dynasty court. It is not that they are unpatriotic, in fact, it is in line with the characteristics of this group of people.
What this group of people value is not the national economy and people's livelihood. In the ancient world where extraordinary powers were rampant, the significance of national prosperity was not as great as it is in the real world.
Even if the Song Dynasty was promoted to the world's most powerful country under the governance of a certain wise king, and the people were prosperous and happy, if the extraordinary warriors failed to deal with the demon catastrophe, they would still be destroyed in an instant, and everything would be in vain.
Whether the human world can survive and whether the human race can reproduce does not depend on the court, but on Shu Mountain and the martial arts world, and on whether Nuwa's descendants are willing to sacrifice themselves.
The biggest problem of the Song Dynasty court was that it did not pay attention to extraordinary warriors and did not allocate resources to Jianghu and martial arts. This was a manifestation of its failure to understand the nature of the world.
What's more, the imperial court's attitude towards martial artists was also quite bad. In this era, the literati were the most glorious, while the warriors were devalued as worthless, and the culture of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts was extremely strong.
For his unparalleled military exploits, it is said that under the martial arts star, General Di Qing was pointed at his nose and scolded by literati: "Only the one who rolls his name outside the Donghua Gate is a good man." They also scolded him in front of him as trash, forcing him to do so. Ended in depression.
Martial arts stars are treated like this, let alone those masters who are wandering in the world. They are basically regarded as beings who are worse than guards, thugs, and trash.
Immortals who practice Taoism are highly respected by the emperors of the Song Dynasty, but the most favored ones are often the sorcerers who play heretical ways like liars. Sword Immortal sects like Shushan are not popular in the court.
The emperor who practices Taoism wants to live forever and be immortal with a golden gun. Although there are many righteous methods of Xuanmen in the Shushan School, there is no such set of left-handed methods. Unless he ascends to the heaven, he will still suffer from old age, illness and death, and he is doomed to live a lonely life.
For example, Dugu Yuyun and the later Yipo Taoist were both so old that their beards and hair were all white, and they did not have the ability to rejuvenate and maintain youth forever.
Of course, the Shushan sect, which is closely related to the heaven, is not very interested in the imperial power of the mortal world. With the aloof personality of the Shushan Sword Immortal, it is acceptable to kneel and lick the gods, but it is a bit of a loss of status to kneel and lick the mortals.
I don’t have any ideas in mind, I still occupy the toilet and don’t shit, and my mentality is very explosive. This is the original sin.
Even if you are really capable and have had some small glories in the past, but if your attitude is not correct, your mentality is wrong, and you cannot grasp your own weight, you will fall into the clouds and be despised and reviled by the whole people. Not to mention that Wang Anshi’s reform has just failed and the country’s situation has improved slightly. It has gone downhill, and people's lives are not as good as before the reform.
One year later, in the fourth year of Chongning, which is 1105 AD, Song Huizong will show off his tricks and appoint the traitor Cai Jing. In order to control the government, Cai Jing gave Sima Guang, Su Shi and others who opposed him 300 yuan. The nine people were labeled as "Yuan You traitor to the Party" and set up a "Party Monument" outside the gate of De Hall, starting the party struggle, persecution and internal strife.
Since the military generals were abolished, all the literati with some moral character and ability were also abolished. From now on, the civil and military affairs were abolished, and the Northern Song Dynasty had no chance to improve or revive.
The national destiny of the Northern Song Dynasty has begun to reach its highest point like a roller coaster and has begun to charge towards the abyss. The Northern Song Dynasty has entered a countdown to its demise.
In another 22 years, there would be the "Jingkang Disgrace", a great disaster in the history of the Han nation. The Northern Song Dynasty officially declared the country's subjugation, and all the royal family, princes, princesses and concubines were kidnapped and tortured to death.
This Shushan Demon Catastrophe led to the annihilation of the Northern Song Dynasty 22 years in advance, which changed the historical process to a certain extent, but it was also in line with the trend of historical development. After all, it was a dynasty that was beginning to come to an end.
There is no essential difference between the Northern Song Dynasty royal family playing to death and being eaten as demon food. The latter died more happily and suffered less humiliation.
For martial arts people, they fought bloody battles with demons to save the world many times, but generally did not receive any favor from the court. They lived in the Northern Song Dynasty and were suppressed and despised. As the saying goes, "The king treats people like grass and grass, and the ministers treat the king like bandits." To rise up and imitate the Liangshan heroes and raise the anti-flag of "doing justice for heaven" is already considered a very moral act.
By the way, the historical background period of the Liangshan heroes forcing them to Liangshan was during the Xuanhe period, from 1119 to 1125 AD, which was fifteen years later.
In short, the butt determines the head. The Song Dynasty court could not represent the basic interests of the people of the Central Plains, let alone the basic interests of the martial arts people, so it would perish.
The human bodyguards are all made up of muscular men. There are only a few scholars and rotten Confucians. The most educated ones are just a few Confucian monks and Confucian businessmen. If you expect them to fight to the death to extend the life of the Song Dynasty, you are really looking for the wrong person. people.
Luo Feng relied on the force of defeating Dugu Yuyun to convince everyone. The hearts within the defense force were floating, and everyone had their own ideas. Only after the strategic goals were established, the thinking of the human defense force was truly unified.
With a goal, there is hope, and with hope, there is motivation. Many warriors also have a longing for the new court. They all have dark thoughts and hope that the Song Dynasty will perish faster, so that the new court can come faster. .
If a descendant of Nuwa becomes an emperor and establishes a political power controlled by extraordinary beings, the status of warriors will undoubtedly be greatly improved, not to mention surpassing the literati, at least on par with the literati.
In the past, martial arts warriors killed demons purely out of interest, and there was no benefit at all. You were unlucky if you made sacrifices. Under the rule of the new court, killing demons was awarded with military merit, and you could be crowned with nobles and descendants for your merits, and be like those who sang outside the Donghua Gate. Famous people are as glorious as their ancestors, which is more attractive than a simple monetary reward.
Encouraged by this mentality, Luo Feng's leadership status was truly established. The warriors who joined the Guards had no second thoughts about him and devoted their loyalty to him. They looked forward to opening up a new world for warriors under his leadership. A new era of straightening one’s back and being a human being.
However, the Shushan Sect has not yet been completely convinced. After all, they are backed by heavenly gods. Like the Song Dynasty, they have cognitive biases. They are still unclear about the situation. They regard themselves as superior to others and are quite disdainful of mundane fame and fortune.
However, they did not dare to explode. Even if they felt they were superior to ordinary people, they must fully respect the descendants of Nuwa.
God Nuwa is the highest god on par with God Fuxi, the Lord of Heaven. Heaven is all about strict hierarchy. Where is the rank of God Nuwa? To disrespect Nuwa is to disrespect God, to despise heaven and the immortals of heaven. But you can't get a promotion spot.
At this point, Luo Feng gathered the people's hearts and reorganized the formerly scattered Hero League registered hero group into a regular army prohibited by law. The military morale was usable and worthy of a battle.
