I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[Since the establishment of separately planned cities in 1954, my country's separately planned cities have undergone many adjustments, and have stabilized at the current five since 1997. ]

[They are all sub-provincial cities and coastal cities. ]

[They are: Shenzhen, Ningbo, Qingtao, Dalian, and Xiameng. ]

[And the development of these five "single-plan" cities has been very outstanding in the past twenty years. ]

[Except for Xiameng, whose economic output ranks only third in the province due to its small population, and Ningbo, which is suppressed by Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Qingtao, and Dalian have all surpassed their provincial capitals in terms of economy. ]

……

Many ancient people in all dynasties were shocked in an instant.

They all knew the so-called provincial capitals in later generations, which were equivalent to the county capitals of their respective dynasties.

Usually, they were the largest and best cities in a county (province).

And three of these five "counted" cities in later generations can surpass the county city (provincial capital), which shows their strength.

"Really amazing!"

Many ancient people admired in their hearts.

……

[So, among these "five invisible kings", who is stronger and who is weaker? ]

……

The eyes of many ancient people in all dynasties looked at the high-altitude giant screen more focused.

They were also very curious about this question.

……

[The current overall pattern is very clear. ]

[The first place is naturally Shenzhen. ]

[Its total economic output has reached 3460.6 billion yuan, ranking third in the country. ]

[From a small fishing village at the beginning, it has developed into the third city in my country's economic strength. Its development speed and economic strength are obvious to all. ]

……

Accompanied by narration subtitles.

A city promotional video of Shenzhen was played on the giant screen in the sky.

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were stunned to see Shenzhen develop from a small fishing village into a modern metropolis step by step in just a few decades.

Such a development speed is really too fast and amazing!

"In such a short time, it has developed from a small fishing village to the third largest city in the Dragon Kingdom in the future. It's really amazing!"

Many ancient people in many dynasties exclaimed.

……

[After Shenzhen, Ningbo ranked second, with a total economic output of only 15,704 yuan, less than half of Shenzhen. ]

[Qingdao ranked third, with a total economic output of: 1492.1 billion yuan]

……

"The gap is a bit big!"

Seeing these data, many ancient people in the past dynasties had this idea in their minds.

……

[The last two, the fourth and fifth Da Lian and Xia Meng, have economic outputs of only 843.1 billion yuan and 780.3 billion yuan respectively. ]

……

Da Ming Hongwu plane.

Zhu Biao said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

“Dad, these five cities seem toIt is Shenzhen that is the leader, Qingdao and Ningbo are competing for the second place, and Dalian and Xiameng are competing for the fourth place. ”

“Boss, you are right.”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

The ranking of the total economic volume of these five cities has clearly reflected this pattern.

……

[In general, although there are differences in internal strength and growth rates.]

[But the planned cities have maintained stable high growth in the past 20 years by relying on the unique financial management system.]

[The title of "Five Invisible Kings" of Longguo Cities is also worthy of the name.]

……

After a simple conclusion.

The video is played.

Next.

The video is refreshed.

One A new video appeared.

[Two pillars of world military science: Which is better, The Art of War or On War? ]

…

The plane of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

After seeing the title of the new video, many famous generals of Tang Dynasty, such as Li Shimin and Li Jing, instantly became excited and looked at the giant screen in the sky.

They naturally knew about The Art of War, the ancient Chinese "military classic", and basically studied it seriously.

They had also heard of the name On War once in a previous video.

They knew that it was a Western military book.

But they never expected that in later generations, In the mouths of the people, it can be called the world's two pillars of military science together with "The Art of War".

This evaluation is extremely high.

Therefore.

They also became very interested in this Western military book and wanted to know its specific content.

A good lesson can be learned from others.

They thought that maybe this Western military book could give them some inspiration?

It was not only Li Shimin and his famous generals of the Tang Dynasty who held such an idea.

In many other dynasties.

There were many emperors and famous generals who had the same idea.

At this time, they all stared at Gao The huge screen in the sky.

……

[War is an eternal topic in human history. ]

[Since the birth of mankind for thousands of years, war has always been around mankind, and its bloodiness and intensity have become stronger and stronger with the development of time, even chilling. ]

[As wars become more and more intense and complicated, in order to win, the warring parties have almost done everything they can. ]

……

Hearing this.

Many ancient people in all dynasties thought of the Second World War in later generations.

Its bloody and cruel degree is really chilling.

"War is really terrible!"

"It would be great if there was no war in the world."

Some ancient people who love peace said so.

But in their hearts, they actually knew that such a wish was too unrealistic.

……

[Under such circumstances. ]

[Countless military strategists have elevated the exercise of war itself to the height of art, integrating all the factors that can lead to victory in war and compiling them into books. ]

[Among the countless military works handed down in the world, the most famous are "The Art of War" written by the Eastern military genius Sun Wu and "On War" written by the Western Prussian military theorist Clausewitz. The former is called the "Holy Book of Military Science" and the latter is known as the "Bible of Strategic Science". ]

[At the same time, these two books are also considered to be the twin pillars of military science in world history. ]

[And today, as the East and the West continue to collide and merge, the shining pearls in these two war works have also caused countless people to discuss and compare. ]

[That is, which of these two military books that embody the wisdom of the East and the West is better? ]

[Next, the UP host will talk about his personal opinion. 】

……

After reading this preface, many ancient people in all dynasties are looking forward to the content of the following video.

The lofty status of "The Art of War" in ancient Chinese military strategists is self-evident.

In the eyes of many ancient military strategists, they naturally do not think that this Western military book "On War" can surpass "The Art of War".

However, they think that this book can be compared with "The Art of War" by later generations, and it must have its own advantages.

Therefore, they also have a great interest in understanding it.

……

[If you want to figure out which of the two military books is more powerful, the first thing is to sort out the similarities and differences between the two. 】

[Let's talk about the background of these two books first. 】

[As a Chinese, you must be very familiar with the relevant information of "The Art of War", so I won't say much. 】

[Here I will focus on "On War". 】

【On War was published in 1832, with the background of the era of hot weapons and semi-industrialization. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di was refreshed, and his eyes became more focused when he looked at the giant screen in the sky. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He became more and more interested in On War.

The future army of the Ming Dynasty will definitely change from a cold weapon army to a hot weapon army.

And in this process of transformation, the army's strategy, tactics and tactics must also change accordingly.

From this perspective, On War, which was written in the era of hot weapons, has great reference value.

It is not only Zhu Di who thought of this.

All the emperors who wanted to start the industrial revolution had this cognition at this time.

……

【Clausewitz, the author of On War, is a famous Prussian military strategist and general. 】

【He joined the army at the age of 12, went to the battlefield at the age of 13, and then entered the Berlin Military Academy. Later, he became the principal of the Berlin Military Academy and was promoted to general. 】

【He participated in four famous battles in his life: the Battle of the Rhine, the Battle of Ostadt, the Franco-Russian War of 1812, and the Battle of Waterloo. 】

【Later, during the 12 years he served as the principal of the Military Academy, he systematically summarized the thoughts of war experience based on his personal experience and feelings, and wrote the book "On War" by using dialectics. 】

【This book is called "the representative of Western military thought", and he is therefore called "Western Military Saint" by many people. 】

……

After reading Clausewitz's resume, many ancient people in all dynasties paid more attention to "On War".

Obviously, "On War" is not a book about military strategy on paper. []

The author has enough actual war experience, and it is a large-scale hot weapon war.

This made many emperors and famous generals in all dynasties more interested in the specific content of this Western military book.

……

【Different era backgrounds are destined to have many differences between the two. 】

【First of all: the purpose of the war. 】

【On War clearly states that the ultimate goal of war is politics, and war is a means of politics and a powerful way to achieve political goals. 】

【However, The Art of War believes that war is a non-essential means, and it is only necessary when it is absolutely necessary. 】

【Sun Tzu said: "A wise ruler will consider it, and a good general will be lazy. He will not act unless it is beneficial, will not use it unless it is necessary, and will not fight unless it is dangerous." War should not be launched unless it is absolutely necessary, and war is never the first choice. 】

【Clausewitz linked war with politics and explained the necessity and key role of war. 】

【Clausewitz said: "War is not only a political act, but also a real political tool, the continuation of political exchanges, and the realization of political exchanges by another means." 】

【However, The Art of War did not link war with political goals or national will. Sun Tzu did not advocate "offensive war". War was only a defensive means when necessary. 】

【From this point of view, the UP host believes that the "Sun Tzu Art of War", which adheres to the idea of ​​cautious warfare, is more humane than the "On War", which can take the initiative to launch wars for political purposes. 】

……

In many dynasties.

Many peace-loving ancients nodded in agreement.

War is too bloody and cruel.

If it is not necessary, it is better not to start a war.

Based on this idea, he agrees with the views of later generations.

That is, "Sun Tzu Art of War" is better than "On War".

The idea of ​​"On War" that war can be launched at any time for political purposes is really not recognized by these peace-loving ancients.

Of course.

Not all ancients would think so.

For example, in the plane of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che, on the contrary, agrees more with these statements in "On War".

Especially, the idea of ​​achieving political goals through war is what he likes the most.

His character is destined to, he is not a person who likes passive defense, but he prefers to take the initiative to start a war for his own political purpose!

There are many people who think like Liu Che in ancient China.

In the final analysis.

Different opinions have nothing to do with which of the two military strategies is better or worse, but only depend on the positions and preferences of different people.

……

[Secondly, in strategic thinking. ]

[Sun Tzu's military thinking is mainly based on strategy, in order to minimize casualties and strive for a comprehensive victory. ]

[In strategic choice, Sun Tzu proposed: "The best military is to attack the enemy's strategy, the next best is to attack the alliance, the next best is to attack the soldiers, and the worst is to attack the city." It is best to defeat the enemy with strategy, and it is best to win without fighting. ]

[In "On War", Clausewitz's guiding ideology is "to use violence to the maximum extent." 】

【Clausewitz said: "There is only one means in war, that is, fighting", "The attempt to resolve the crisis by bloodshed, that is, to destroy the enemy's army, is the eldest son of war." 】

……

"This foreigner is very murderous."

In the Ming Chengzu plane, Zhu Gaochi frowned and couldn't help but say something.

Hearing this, Zhu Di said lightly:

"On the battlefield, you fight to the death, and there is no room for mercy!"

However.

Although Zhu Di felt that there was nothing wrong with the viewpoint of "On War", he should be ruthless and decisive on the battlefield.

But from the perspective of realm, he still felt that "subduing the enemy without fighting" in "The Art of War" was obviously higher.

For his side, it was also the approach with the least loss.

……

【977The Sun Tzu's Art of War says: "In the art of war, conquering the whole country is the best, destroying the country is the second best; conquering the whole army is the best, destroying the army is the second best." 】

【This means that in the principle of using troops, it is the best policy to make the enemy country surrender intact, and it is the second best to surrender after being damaged. 】

【It is the best policy to make the whole army of the enemy surrender completely, and it is the second best to defeat the whole army of the enemy by force. 】

【It can be seen that Sun Tzu believes that destroying the enemy is not the best, but the best way to determine the winner while reducing casualties on both sides is the best. 】

……

Many ancient people in all dynasties nodded.

They are still more receptive to the relatively peaceful ideas of the Sun Tzu's Art of War.

They think that the idea of ​​"maximum use of violence" in the On War is still too tyrannical.

……

[Again, the two books have different focuses. ]

[The entire book of "The Art of War" is only about 6,000 words, and it focuses more on strategic thinking. ]

[It itself does not mention many issues about how the army should be deployed, let alone discuss the details of how to deploy the army. ]

[Not to mention how to use these trivial details in war. ]

[Its text is highly abstract, such asIf you want to understand the content, you must read it repeatedly. 】

[In comparison, On War is more rigorous and specific, and the author fully states his meaning. . 】

[After translation, this book can reach more than 700,000 words, with three volumes, eight chapters and 124 chapters, which discuss the nature of war, war theory, strategy, battle, army, defense, offense and war plan. 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"Although the number of words in "The Art of War" is not large, every word is precious. It requires a high level of talent and understanding from the reader. People with insufficient understanding are likely to read it in a vague way. "On War" is very detailed, and readers can better understand the knowledge contained in it."

"Reply - But, it is too specific, and readers are prone to form inertial thinking, rigid dogma, and rigid and inflexible in commanding operations."

"Reply - That's right, but it is too general, which will make people with insufficient understanding feel confused and difficult to fully understand the meaning contained in it."

"Reply - Hey, in the final analysis, it all depends on personal understanding. For readers, there is no difference between good and bad."

"..."

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Shimin saw this, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

This "On War" has so much content that it seems that the video on the giant screen in the sky cannot explain it in detail.

He is indeed very interested in this book about hot weapons war.

Because he thinks this book can give him a deeper understanding of large-scale hot weapons war.

And hot weapons warfare is exactly the future development direction of the Tang army.

So, he really wants to get this book and read it in detail.

As for the problem that this book is too detailed and it is easy for readers to form inertial thinking, he doesn't care.

At his level, he naturally fully understands the wonderful use of it, which is in his heart.

"It's a pity that I don't have the chance to see the whole picture."

Li Shimin sighed in his heart. .
