It's a very close-knit army(父子之兵)
During the Warring States Period of China,
there was a famous general whose name was (Wu Qi).
The art of war book he wrote occupies an
important position in ancient Chinese military classics.
There is a passage in this book as follows.
The king of the Wei Kingdom asked.
What do you think is the main reason why an
army can win a war?
He answered. ’
I think it's the management of the
military.
The king of the Wei Kingdom asked.
A well-managed army of 100,000 versus an
army of a million.
Which army would you choose?
He answered.
If an army does not have clear standards
for rewards and punishments, if an army does not establish strict military
laws, if an army does not have solid training in its soldiers, if its soldiers
do not obey the general's orders, then What good is an army with a million
soldiers?
The king of the Wei Kingdom asked.
How do you think a well-managed army should
behave?
I think a well-managed army, soldiers who
remain vigilant when there is no war, fight bravely when there is war.
When this army is attacking, no enemy can
resist, and when this army retreats, no enemy can catch up. The army remained
calm and composed both in attack and retreat.
The soldiers of this army absolutely follow
the orders of the leading general.
Sometimes when a powerful enemy is attacked
on the battlefield, at this critical moment when there is no way to wait for
the fate of the general, the middle and senior generals in the army can
immediately assume the responsibility to direct the actions of all the soldiers.
Everyone in this army is very united, and
everyone in this army has undergone rigorous training in combat skills and
physical strength.
All members of this army can enjoy the
fruits of victory together, and can also bear the pain of failure and training
together. In this army, I think the relationship between each soldier and
general is as close as father and son, and they care for each other.
This idiom means that the army is like a
family, the generals are like fathers and all the soldiers are like children.
This idiom is used to describe an army that
is very well managed and trained.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Where do you think this method of
management can still be used? Is your relationship with your parents close?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.
It's a very close-knit army(父子之兵)
中國的戰國時代，有一個名的將軍，他的名字叫做(吳起)。
他寫的兵法書在中國古代軍事典籍中佔有重要地位。
這本書中有一段如下。
魏王國的國王問。
你認為一支軍隊可以打勝仗的最主要原因為何呢?
他回答。’
我認為是軍隊的管理。
魏王國的國王問。
一支管理得很好的10萬的人的軍隊與一支100萬個人的軍隊。
你會選那一支軍隊呢?
他回答。
如果一支軍隊沒有明確的獎賞與處罰的標準，如果一支軍隊沒有設立嚴厲的軍法規範，如果一支軍隊的士兵們沒有確實的訓練，如果這支軍隊的士兵們不聽從將軍的命令，那麼這支軍隊就算有100萬個士兵又有何用處呢?
魏王國的國王問。
你認為一支管理得很好的軍隊應該有怎樣的表現呢?
我認為一支管理的很好的軍隊，士兵們在沒有戰爭的時候仍然保持警戒，在戰爭的時候勇敢征戰。
這支軍隊在進攻的時候沒有任何敵人可以抵擋，這支軍隊在撤退的時候也沒有任何敵人可以追得上。這支軍隊在進攻與撤退的時候都保持鎮靜與冷靜。
這支軍隊的士兵們絕對從領兵的將軍的命令。
有時在戰場上遭遇強大的敵人的攻打時，在這個沒有辦法等候將軍命定的危急時刻，軍隊中的中階與高階將領能夠立刻承擔責任指揮所有們士兵的行動。
這支軍隊的所有人都非常團結，這支軍隊的每個人的戰技與體力都經過嚴格訓練。
這支軍隊的所有人能夠一起享受勝利的果實，也能夠一起承擔失敗與訓練的痛苦。這支軍隊，我認為每個士兵與將軍的關係就像是父親與兒子一樣的親密，一樣地相互關心。
這句成語的意思這支軍隊就像是一個家庭，將軍像是父親而所有的士兵像是孩子。
這句成語被用來形容一支管理與訓練非常優良的軍隊。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你認為這種管理的方法還可以用在那一個方面呢?你跟你雙親的關係是否親密呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
