Type-Moon, a human love simulator

Chapter 8 Only righteous people have no enemies
How could Merlin and Uther educate the next generation?
This old bastard Yuther is such a scoundrel. He made Altria undergo more than twenty hours of meaningless sword training. Is this a training plan designed for a five-year-old child?

The black slaves all shook their heads when they heard this.

Kelar agrees that enlightenment and training should start from childhood to become successful.

But what he agrees with is a truly systematic way of cultivating elites, such as an educational method like the Six Arts of a Gentleman that promotes the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labour.

If combined with relaxation and entertainment that combines work and rest, Altria will evolve to her complete form much earlier.

Kelar re-formulated Altria's teaching method, three hours of basic swordsmanship, combined with standing and stepping, and then practice swordsmanship. In addition, there are also riding skills, numerology, history, and culture and education...

And finally, Kelar gave Artoria special lessons, teaching her knowledge from later civilizations, which was not something that the "Celtic barbarians" could understand.

The standard of riding skills is to be able to control a galloping horse in any scene and location, from flat ground to hillside, from standing to sitting; to be able to mount the horse at any time and under any circumstances without being thrown off, and to move freely on it to engage in archery and horse fighting.

The mathematical standard is to be able to calculate the daily expenses of an army of 100,000 people, as well as the transport capacity of civilians to transport food and the transport capacity of vehicles, ships and livestock. These are capabilities that the Celts and Ansa do not have in the British Isles today.

The battle between the Celts and the Ansas was a fight between barbarians. When the two groups met, they would rush forward and fight. There was no strategy or military formation at all. They just relied on hard power.

Why did the Romans call these northern barbarians 'barbarians'?
Because they really have no cultural background. There may be some strong men who are born with knowledge, but they lack systematic education to cultivate elites.

But, how can one become a good general without knowing mathematics?
As for history, it is even simpler. History itself is a compulsory course for kings. How can you learn lessons without reading history?
It is a pity that Europe has no habit of compiling national history. Instead, the nobles have their own aristocratic histories, as well as prose, poetry, and heroic epics, which can barely serve as history books.

Finally, it was Kelar's special cooking session...

I have to say that Kelar has treated Sarcasm as some kind of development game. Looking at this serious little thing, his skills are growing every day. For some reason, he feels a sense of accomplishment!

"I believe you are not lying, Lily. Don't be in a hurry to practice swordsmanship. You are different from those ordinary people. You have talent. You can practice swordsmanship when you have time."

Kelar has a permanent blue talent [Hundred Martial Arts], but he discovered that Altria also seemed to have a permanent talent for cold weapons [Knight King]. After the first day of sword practice, this little guy had already surpassed many veteran knights of Maple Ridge.

Now, the only one who can practice with Altria and temporarily suppress this little guy is Kelar.

Kelar nodded in satisfaction and said, "How are you doing with the methods I taught you to train and lead troops, as well as various war modes such as hand-to-hand combat, cavalry combat, field combat, and siege warfare?"

"How are you reading the new books on military training and effectiveness?"

Speaking of this, Altria's confident face deflated, her bright golden hair dimmed, and even her proud little hair drooped down. She whispered, "I haven't learned it yet..."

"It's a bit difficult. I think I need to combine it with numerology to better learn what you teach me."

Speaking of this, Artoria felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't even understand the military book compiled by Kelar, but the other party had already summarized this knowledge that could be called a divine book.

Kelar was not angry about this. He just said, "This is not something you can learn in one year. The deadline I set for you is eight years. If you can master the knowledge in these two military books within five years, you will be very good."

That's right, the special training that Kelar gave to Artoria was the "Jixiao Xinshu" and "Lianbing Shiji" which were the culmination of Qi Shaobao's life's work on military strategies.

Among China's military books, although Sun Tzu's Art of War is very famous, in fact, the pinnacle of China's military strategy is Qi Shaobao's "Ji Xiao Xin Shu". As long as you have the Ji Xiao Xin Shu, even a farmer who knows nothing can train elite soldiers.

Qi Shaobao's military book does not have so many fancy words, but is simple and plain language to teach people how to train soldiers, how to lead soldiers, how to maintain military discipline, how to deploy troops, and even how to deal with feces and urine, how to save military rations, and how to lead soldiers to save military rations. This is the most suitable book for this era after comprehensive consideration by Kelar.

As for the three most powerful time-traveling books that are stronger than these two military books, Kelar believes that they are not in line with the productivity of this era and cannot be put into practical use. In the era of cold weapons, the military book summarized by Qi Shaobao, which is a culmination of Chinese military tactics, is stronger.

"Okay, Lily, we've finished dinner, it's time to test our teacher on history."

Kelar smiled, put aside the matter of military tactics, and asked, "Lily, what did you see today?"

Altria said honestly, "At the end of the Roman Republic, Crassus, one of the three great men, put down the rebellion of Spartacus."

Artoria knew that it was time for Kelar to teach. History was the most suitable book to be used as a teaching material for the king. Using history as a mirror was the truth.

Kelar remained calm and continued to ask, "Do you think Crassus is just? Or is Spartacus's resistance correct?"

"Crassus relied on the eleven-stroke killing rule, using blood and fear to make the Roman soldiers fearless of death, and finally suppressed the rebel Spartacus."

Altria shook her head and said, "This is not what a wise man would do, nor what a good general would do. A truly capable general would not have to use such a brutal method."

Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, commanded his troops with the Thirteen-Strike Order, which made his soldiers invincible and conquered six kingdoms. However, his prestige in the army was very low, and there were many generals who did not obey him and ministers who looked down on him.

In contrast, there is Han Xin, the military genius and one of the three great heroes of the early Han Dynasty.

When Fan Kuai, Marquis of Wuyang, saw Han Xin, who was tricked into Yunmengze and captured alive for treason and then demoted to Marquis of Huaiyin, he bowed his head and knelt down, calling him "the king" and was proud of it. After all, among the more than one hundred founding kings and princes in the early Han Dynasty, there were not many who were qualified to call Han Xin "the king".

His prestige was so high that no one could match Han Xin except Xiao He and Liu Bang.

This is the difference between leading troops with regular tactics and leading troops with unusual tactics.

To put it bluntly, Li Jing's military strategy is to not treat people as human beings, but to turn a group of people into ferocious beasts. As long as the heart is ruthless enough, there is no problem in maintaining a very high winning rate. The threshold can be said to be very low, and the reputation can be said to be very bad.

Crassus used the eleven-stroke law in slave-era Rome, and his reputation remains mixed to this day.

However, Li Jing used the Thirteen-Strike Killing Order, and when he was writing a book, he proudly said that only a famous general could use the Thirteen-Strike Killing Order to command the troops and prevent the soldiers from rebelling. The generals who used the Eleven-Strike Killing Order were not ruthless enough, so they were not famous generals at all.

What Li Jing said was not wrong, because he did the best a general could do. If he still lost, it would naturally be the soldiers' problem. But if other generals dared to use this kind of military tactics, they would only need to be defeated two or three times before the soldiers would mutiny and rebel.

"As for Spartacus? Where there is oppression, there is resistance."

Altria looked at Kelar and said, "When a king treats his subjects like dirt and weeds, his subjects will treat him like an enemy. When a king treats his subjects like his limbs, his subjects will treat him like their heart. This is the principle you taught me."

"Yes, Lily, you remember it very well." Kelar looked puzzled, and chanted in a strange tone: "Let me teach you another truth - "Only righteous people have no enemies." "

“This is the reason why the benevolent are invincible.”
