Mr. Lu Xun once praised the first person who ate crabs in the world as a hero, which is not sensational.

Take tomatoes, which are now regarded as delicious food. It was only hundreds of years ago that people dared to eat them. For a long time before this, people stood by and abandoned bright red tomatoes.

As a leader, it is very important to be unconventional and be the first in the world to create a new situation.

Taking combat as an example, the combat mode of the Han Dynasty remained unchanged in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there was still no improvement to seek victory in the battlefield where soldiers confronted each other.

The way for most master fighters to win is to seek victory by means of existing conditions and deduce ever-changing strategies. As a result, after Sun Wu, there were many military strategists, but they still beat around the bush in Sun Wu's thoughts, thinking only about strategy and tactics. Paying attention to tactics has become the characteristic of eastern military science.

In this atmosphere, it is difficult to change the military concept greatly, but a few people of insight start with improving weapons, dare to be the first in the world, and jump out of the mainstream of strategic confrontation with an undercurrent that focuses on improving technical means to win.

This enterprising spirit, which has never been seen before, should undoubtedly be included in the control strategy.

A great progress in improving weapons was the development and use of muskets by famous soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty. As stereotyped writing in the Southern Song Dynasty, we should not only study strategy and tactics, but also attach importance to weapons research to improve operational efficiency from a technical point of view.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, ancient firearms were first used in the battlefield, marking the beginning of the era of combining hot weapons with cold weapons. He made muskets on the basis of "rocket", "fireball" and "fire tribulus" developed by predecessors, and defended De 'an (now Anlu, Hubei Province) for 70 days on 1 132, using this weapon to make the enemy suffer heavy losses. This is a kind of "overpass" with bamboo poles as barrels, which is filled with gunpowder, temporarily ignited and sprayed with flames. The enemy's siege equipment was burned with this "musket" and the enemy was forced to retreat.

It is said that this is the first time to use a tubular flamethrower in the history of world war, which is 783 years 19 15 earlier than the metal flamethrower used in Europe. Genghis Khan, a generation of Tianjiao who once went on an expedition to Central Asia, was invincible because he founded a world-class cavalry unit and artillery according to the characteristics of nomadic people who were good at riding horses, and put forward the theory of "attacking the city with artillery", which played a great role in destroying the gold, attacking the Song Dynasty and the Western Expedition.

His grandson Kublai Khan inherited and developed the idea of attacking the city with guns, and invited gunners from the western regions to make pull-back guns. He used this gun in the Xiang (Yang) Fan (City) War. "The fire started, there was a loud noise, and it was destroyed. People were seven feet away." The battle was a great victory, so it was also called "Xiangyang Gun".

Later, Kublai Khan was not satisfied with his achievements and recruited a large number of gunmen to develop new guns. In 1279 alone, more than 600 gunners were recruited from Huaihe River and Huaihe River. In 1284,10/0000 craftsmen were selected from Jiangnan to make new cannons in Beijing.

By 1287, the artillery technology of the Yuan Dynasty had made a breakthrough. On the battlefield, there appeared a metal tube-shaped gun that used gunpowder to burn in a metal tube to generate air pressure and fire bullets, which was more than 50 years earlier than the similar guns in the West.

Innovative spirit is a powerful driving force to promote social change. Dare to be the first in the world, be brave in practice and be brave in innovation, which is the requirement given to us by the times.

Without the first person to eat crabs, there would be no delicious food today; Without fearless pioneers, human beings can't survive. When we praise "first", we praise the courage of innovators. Dare to be the first in the world, break through the box, break the dogma, break the old and establish the new, in order to be the trendsetter of reform!
