The opening chapter of "The Art of War: Military Struggle" describes the five major systems of strengthening the army, which also belong to the dialectical relationship of the "five elements".
First, it is a detour. The formulation and improvement of the table system, the system is fundamental, belongs to the five elements of "wood", the beginning of the emergence of the table.
Second, the roll of the nail trend. The improvement of the full-perspective thinking system, the process of perfection belongs to development, belongs to the five elements of "fire", the process of length and development.
Three reasons: the rule of baggage. The implementation of a fair and just system and the improvement of the military's humanistic environment belong to the five elements of "soil", which shows the superiority of the environment and the accumulation of thick accumulation.
Fourth, it is possible to make friends. The table overcomes all the man-made unfavorable factors of the army and strengthens the majesty of the army's law, which belongs to the five elements of "gold", which is the consumption and cohesion of the table.
Five reasons: deception. The table military spirit is condensed, and the warriors are Hong. The formation of a completely organic, effective, consistent "military struggle" force, belongs to water, the surface of the operation, into a steady stream of effects.
The five major systems of army building and an important part of the solid foundation of the army.
It belongs to the part of army team building, and the strength of the army comes from the army's system and law, and the effectiveness and authority of the system and law come from the equal treatment of the army system and law.
The equal treatment of the military system and the law comes from the collective cultural beliefs and the construction of the humanistic environment of the military.
The purification of the humanistic environment comes from overcoming all external influences that are not conducive to the military's humanistic construction.
All these preparations are aimed at effectively uniting the hearts of everyone in the army and giving full play to the greatest military talent and strength of each soldier, which comes from the active participation of soldiers. The active participation of military personnel comes from the moral belief in the fairness and justice of the military system and law.
This is the principle of mutual growth and mutual restraint of the five elements of "Military Struggle".
Only by mastering this principle can we restrain the evil of human nature of every soldier in the army and arouse the greatest enthusiasm of every soldier and serviceman, and this is the root of the morale of the military and the foundation of victory in war.
Such an army, in the face of any kind of opponent, can have a strong sense of oppression, have steel-solid willpower, and have the confidence and courage to move forward.
However, we found a problem, the lack of an important driving force of the five elements in the construction of the army, what makes these willingly cohesive?
Sun Tzu gave a very clear answer: Therefore, it is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as fast as a fire, as immobile as a mountain, as difficult as a cloud, and as moving as a thunderstorm. Plundering the countryside and dividing the people, dividing the land and profits, and suspending power. The prophet's roundabout plan wins, and the law of this military struggle is also.
Therefore: its speed is like the wind;Its Xu Ru, Lin;Plunder, such as, fire;Immovable such as, mountains;It's hard to know, yin;Thunder and tremble.
The word "such as" is the most likely to be misinterpreted by us, so this passage is often easy for us to understand as: once the army is mobilized, the speed is like the wind;Maintain a high degree of silence and obedience during the operation, and the state is like a continuous forest.
This kind of understanding, we put aside the scope of literal understanding, as far as the facts are concerned, what is the significance of such an expression for practical actions and methodological guidance?
It has no meaning other than the emotional feelings brought about by the literary form.
Therefore, the true meaning of all the words "such as" in this sentence is: follow the righteous World War II and give up personal desires and selfish interests. It is no longer a matter of the system, the law, or the personal charm of the leader, but the highest level of humane faith.
Therefore, Sun Tzu used the words "wind, forest, fire, mountain, yin, and earthquake" to show the real driving force behind the five elements of army construction.
That driving force is faith.
Its swiftness is like the wind:It means that once a decision is made and an order is issued, everyone can quickly produce active cooperation. The army is a whole composed of small cells, medium cells, and large cells, and the action force of an army depends on the organic cooperation of each cell.
What drove them to cooperate?It is by no means a system or a law. If we talk about systems and laws, do all mankind have a perfect system and laws?Outside of the law, what really gives full play to people's initiative and enthusiasm is "affection". And this part is the real invisible power of human beings, so I can only classify "she" in modern terms and call it the military soul.
The first soul of the army: the wind.
In Sun Tzu's article, the wind is called high morale. The states of human emotional outbursts in the Sutra are categorized as: madness, turmoil, fierceness, and wind. When we see these four words, what comes to mind?Impulsive?Out of control?It's all wrong.
In fact, these are the four states of human excitement. Behavioral responses that arise when emotions are out of control. Madness represents mania, turbulence represents movement, madness represents the complete release of physical attributes, and wind represents the air of plunder, plunder, and killing.
Therefore, Sun Tzu's "its illness is like the wind", we can understand it as the state of eating half a catty of stimulants. Let's imagine that when the two armies face each other, the other party sees tens of thousands of red eyes and bursting hair, and the feeling of devouring the opponent alive, this momentum directly makes people shudder. Sun Tzu can achieve this level of morale through artificial means, so I regard Sun Tzu's wind as the first soul of the army: fearless.
The second soul of the army: Lin.
It is as slow as the wind, which can be understood as going forward and following one another, but it is better understood that it is a steady stream of power, layer by layer of power, like the surge of ocean waves, like a boulder washed down by a high mountain. So I think of it as the second soul of the army: immeasurable.
There is no end in sight, there is no end to the power, there is no end to the power, so I call it: immeasurable.
The third soul of the army: fire.
Everywhere the army went, it was devastated, overwhelming, invincible, and not a single grass was growing. I call it the third soul of the army: ruthlessness. Don't feel cruel, those who have seen real wars must understand that the moment you raise your saber on the battlefield, there is no more human mercy. Your compassion and kindness will surely become an act of death for your brothers, your own relatives, friends, and family members who are guarding justice.
War is like fire and water, and once it is opened, life is like mustard. It's just that you are a mustard or the enemy is a mustard, so a general who does not talk lightly about war is a general who is truly wise and brave. However, once it is turned on, the general who turns himself into fire and water is the real general of great good.
Under the devouring of evil thoughts, words, interests, humanity, and justice are meaningless, and the only thing the general can do is to erase them.
Just like those two atomic bombs, we ordinary people can see the ruthlessness and misery, but the soldiers see the only way to end the evil. The only way to bring the tragedy to an end must be a great tragedy. This is also the essence of war. Therefore, Sun Wuzi is very aware of the dangers of women's benevolence in war. This is valid for everyone in the military.
Kindness to the enemy is the greatest cruelty to oneself. This sentence is similar to Sun Tzu's "invasion is like fire". We can also say that it is decisive in killing.
The Fourth Soul of the Army: Mountain.
Immovable as a mountain, it can be understood as the strength, courage, and intelligence that makes the enemy desperate, and a higher existence that surpasses willpower - Boundless. This is the soul of the fourth army of the army, and the borderless is the endless obstacle, despair, and desperation that invisibly brings to the enemy. We have an idiom called "Grass and Trees Are Soldiers".
It is the best embodiment of boundlessness. Let the enemy be frightened to the bone marrow, and the instigator of war who is like a mustard in the world, then all those who think like this must see one result - despair. This is no longer the willpower of an army, but a kind of supreme military soul that will be intertwined with the army - cutting grass and eradicating the roots.
The tragedy of mankind comes from the selfishness of careerists, and such selfishness and the group that supports such selfishness, any kindness, benevolence, and preaching are meaningless. This is also the tragic reincarnation circle that human beings have not been able to get out of for thousands of years, and the human race is becoming more and more advanced.
You see the enemy as such, and the enemy sees you as such, so it will be inevitable to die. Once war starts, humanity no longer exists.
So, don't leave any way back for the enemy, this is the true meaning of Sun Tzu's "immovable such as, mountain".
The cost of resurrection will make future generations even more miserable. This is also the reason why Zhu Di would rather die on the road of conquest than compromise. Because history proves that that group of barbarians has not been indoctrinated for more than 2,000 years, and civilization has no convincing power.
Therefore, the army must have the supreme belief of the army - lifelessness.
Do not leave any illusions for anyone who dares to challenge morality, dare to destroy civilization, and dare to ignore the common people. Only when evil is born can good become the force that dominates the world.
The Fifth Army Soul of the Army: Yin.
It's hard to know, yin;The biggest feature of an excellent army is the ever-changing tactical implementation, how can I go head-to-head with you?When the goal is to knock down the enemy, then there is no question of what means. The means to knock you down are all good means. So Sun Tzu used the word "yin", and the purpose of this sentence was to warn those generals who had already started a war, not to be dogmatic, not to be stubborn, not to be brainless, not to so-called moving books and quoting ancestors. In war, there is no authority, only improvisation based on facts. This is the fifth soul of the army - impermanence.
The Sixth Army Soul of the Army: Shock.
Why are there always those ** groups in the world who provoke justice and humanitarian forces?Because the army that presides over morality in the world has not achieved "shock". The army that guards the justice and humanity of mankind needs to exist at all times, and this existence must have the ability to make all those who have evil thoughts pick up the wooden fish statue and the Buddha statue to repent.
Once human greed and evil thoughts take control of those people's brains, they are no longer human beings, but devils. The devil will always have only one goal, to turn mankind into hell and into a world of demons. Everyone has the seeds of demons planted in their hearts, and the value and significance of Zhen is to let everyone who has demonic thoughts in their hearts pick up a razor and kill their own demonic thoughts personally.
This is Sun Tzu's highest level of military pursuit-no demons.
It is also the pursuit of all good generals in the world, and it is also the pursuit of every human being.
So Sun Tzu is also a veritable exorcist ancestor.
Sun Tzu's exorcism method is called the "Six Lewdness" exorcism. The evil behavior of human beings all comes from the "six prostitutions", whether it is ambition driven by personal ideals or annexation driven by personal desires, they are the source of evil.
The struggle between human beings and the six prostitutions of demons will continue for a long time.
We don't promote the progress of humanity because of technological progress;Nor will we bring about the splendor of human humanity because of the length of time. The progress of mankind is carried forward in self-confession.
Human repentance comes from the outbreak of a humanitarian catastrophe accumulated by human error and greed.
Disaster is the only means for human beings to be sober at present, and Sun Tzu can't help it, so once the demon sprouts, the only way to defeat the demon is to turn himself into a god.
God's six requirements: fearlessness, immeasurability, ruthlessness, borderlessness, impermanence, and demonslessness.
You can't turn yourself into a demon because of the appearance of the devil, this is the true meaning of Sun Tzu's words.
War is always a means, to find the root of war, to uproot the devil, the only way, is - selfless.
This is the first time that Sun Tzu put forward the theory of erasing one's own humanity in the confrontation between life and death in war.
Morality, kindness, kindness, compassion, all in peacetime. The greatest mercy of war is to end the war with the most cruel means and as quickly as possible.
Enemies, when they can't see the moment of cruelty, they won't stop the devil's footsteps.
This series of combination punches has formed the army's truly invincible internal and external integration strength
The three armies can, seize the air;The general can be heart-wrenching.
Behind these ten words are the condensation of ability and wisdom, and they are the result of the ultimate pursuit.
Therefore, every time I read this passage of my grandson, I see a terrifying god of war.
The generals who make the enemy frightened are the real generals, and they are qualified to do it: plundering the countryside and dividing the people, dividing the land and profits, and suspending power.
The warrior who can make the demon scare is the god of war.
To become a god of war, you must do it: first, the one who knows the right plan wins, and the method of this military battle is also.
The soldiers have the power of supreme faith inside and the ability to cohesion outside, which is the foundation of the army's invincibility.
