尼可罗·马基雅维利《君主论》· The Prince · 领导
I shall never hesitate to cite Cesare Borgia and his actions. This duke entered the Romagna with auxiliaries, taking there only French soldiers, and with them he captured Imola and Forli; but afterwards, such forces not appearing to him reliable, he turned to mercenaries, discerning less danger in them, and enlisted the Orsini and Vitelli; whom presently, on handling and finding them doubtful, unfaithful, and dangerous, he destroyed and turned to his own men. And the difference between one and the other of these forces can easily be seen when one considers the difference there was in the reputation of the duke, when he had the French, when he had the Orsini and Vitelli, and when he relied on his own soldiers, on whose fidelity he could always count and found it ever increasing; he was never esteemed more highly than when every one saw that he was complete master of his own forces.

白话
马基雅维利以切萨雷·博尔贾为例：他先带法国援军进入罗马涅，攻下伊莫拉和弗利；后来觉得法国兵不可靠，改用雇佣军（奥尔西尼和维泰利家族），发现他们可疑、不忠、危险，于是设计除掉他们，转而依靠自己的军队。马基雅维利说，看博尔贾在不同阶段的名声变化，就能看出三种军队的差别：用法国兵时、用雇佣军时、用自己的兵时，他的威望越来越高，因为大家看到他完全掌控自己的武力。核心是：逐步摆脱对外部武力的依赖，建立自己可控的力量，威望和安全感才会真正上升。

马基雅维利《君主论》第十三章，以切萨雷·博尔贾逐步换用自有军队的过程，说明自主武力的价值。
今日一问
你目前依赖的外部力量中，哪一部分可以逐步替换成自己可控的能力？第一步怎么做？
