Chapter 161: Preparations for the Conquest of the Merchant Kingdom (1)
Soon Ji Fa calculated the right time, and after each royal decree was executed, he waited for a period of time before issuing the next order, and in this way, the royal decree was conveyed in batches, and the officials in various places began to implement the decree one by one, and the people began to gradually adapt to it.
The effect of the military development of the Zhou state in the first stage played a noticeable change after the issuance of the royal decree.
"Hahaha, sure enough, my royal decree is absolutely correct from Ji Fa's point of view, well... It's good, there is no royal decree, after supplementation, it has developed so completely, first of all, the people of my Zhou country, they have the obligation to defend the society, and secondly, slaves can also undertake military service, of course, that is in a special situation, can be completed, according to this method of calculation, in fact, soldiers can be divided into two kinds. ”
"Let's simply divide it into two types: regular soldiers and reserve soldiers, so that we can mobilize the strength of the entire Zhou Kingdom."
Ji Fa easily thought of the idea of modern reservists and regular soldiers, and then he recalled it carefully, it is true that this prototype has already begun to be practical in the early Zhou, so he is not considered to be used in advance.
So Ji Fa wrote down this royal decree by hand, and during this period of time, Ji Fa wrote a lot of various royal decrees by classification, and stored them separately according to the classification, so that this point would not be messed up, which was prepared in advance.
After writing down this inspiration, Ji Fa began to read other results reports, and what he got was the people who originally served in the military, and all of them were very happy to be used, this is because some people are relatively wealthy, and they have slaves in their private homes, so that they can say that they have half recognized the identity of slaves, and slaves can help the people openly.
This is one aspect, and the other aspect is that the people who are not able to perform military service due to the lack of labor at home can let their slaves serve in the military on their behalf, which is completely permissible in Ji Fa's royal decree, and the local officials are not allowed to stop it.
"It's just that these slaves join the reserve soldiers, and it will not reduce the combat quality and ability of the regular soldiers."
Immediately after that, the troops of the six cities near Xiqi City gathered together, according to Ji Fa's order, according to the soldiers of 12,500 people for the army, 2,500 people for the division, and then the division commanders were all middle doctors, followed by 500 people for the brigade, the brigade commanders were all doctors, 100 people became pawns, and the pawn commanders were all sergeants. Twenty-five people are two, and both horses are sergeants, and every five people are called a team, and each team has a chief.
"With this system, the corps was established, and they practiced together in normal times, set up temporary camps, and returned to the six cities when they were free."
Ji Fa thought to himself: "This will not affect the labor situation of the family, nor will it weaken the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and it will also alleviate the homesickness of the soldiers, because after all, they are on their own land, so in this way, they can calm the emotions of the soldiers." ”
"By the way, for the slaves to join the army, the generals in the army must lead the troops, otherwise the army's morale will be easily confused, and the slaves cannot be allowed to serve as senior generals, these senior generals must be those who are loyal to the Zhou State."
Ji Fa knows the pros and cons too well, this is because in history, whether it is a dynasty or a dynasty, because there are so many examples of this mutiny, there are countless of them.
"This part of the mutiny is roughly divided into two kinds, one is because His Majesty does not have enough control over the army, and the other is because the generals used are wrong, which has caused such a result, which is really sad and embarrassing."
Ji Fa felt in his heart that in order to prevent the slightest, there must be some measures, and this is his measure.
"Then the army formed by these slaves will be called the Yin Six Team, divided into six teams."
Ji Fa took a look at the situation reported by officials from all over the country, most of these slaves are basically people from the Shang Kingdom, so it is not an exaggeration to call it the Yin Six Team, in line with the real situation of historical development, Ji Fa has always grasped the scale in his heart, if the step is too big, it will definitely wrestle, so it must be implemented gradually, or continue to be implemented, gradually and gradually, otherwise it will fall.
"Looking forward to the second phase of the military royal order, I have to think about it carefully to see how I can match the rhythm of the early royal order." Ji Fa pondered and meditated.
At this time, Ji Fa received a brief report on the logistics supply effect of Zhou State after the first stage of the royal decree was issued. He picked up the book and looked at it for a moment, then quickly smiled. For example, some common people originally made this without permission, and since receiving this royal decree, after the rapid success, there will be no forced labor, so they are very willing to obey.
"And some people, in terms of building weapons without authorization, this reduces the burden of this kind of people, so for a while, the people who have learned to build and weave, the number of people has gradually increased, and there is a situation where money is spent to hire others to make these, well... This is a good sign, because when the local officials come up and ask what should be done, then they should acquiesce to the people and not manage them. Ji Fa quickly wrote these comments on the national policy book.
The effect of the cultural development of the Zhou State has also been seen after the first stage of development.
Specifically, this is the way it looks, first of all, the people of the witchcraft school, consciously abide by Ji Fa's orders, strictly control the people of the school, and formulate rules, these witchcraft people learn etiquette at the same time, but also use themselves, so that since then, there is a cultural atmosphere, for a time the whole Zhou State learning rituals, the atmosphere of giving rites is very strong, and popularized.
Then Ji Fa remembered the dispute between the two small countries before, and couldn't help but have some situations, why didn't there move for a long time? What's going on?
Thinking of this, Ji Fa hurriedly summoned the Minister of Rites to inquire about this matter, but he didn't expect to get such a report from the minister.
"The king, the monarchs of Yu and Rui, as soon as they entered the land of my Zhou, they saw a kind scene, first of all, the people of the two villages of my Zhou country, regardless of you and me, work together, weave cloth in unity, and share the water source, very harmonious without any disputes, the monarchs of Yu and Rui saw the red ears behind them, and felt very ashamed, they felt that although they were the kings, their actual behavior was not as good as these people, so they hurriedly left the territory of my Zhou country, and then went back to make peace. Disputes and contradictions were thus resolved. The Minister of Rites said in a colorful voice.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect these monarchs to unconsciously take my Zhou Kingdom as an example to learn, so it's okay, it will form an atmosphere, an atmosphere where all the etiquette is learned, which is very beneficial to the development of my Zhou Kingdom." Ji Fa thought to himself.
Then the minister of etiquette retreated, and Ji Fa recorded the incident, and then ordered people to post it all over the country to encourage everyone to actively learn etiquette.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Fa did not forget that the doctor faction, which had developed rapidly before, publicly issued a royal order, summoned some capable doctors, joined the soldiers, and served as the medical officer of the army, and the treatment was the same as that of the generals, but it was specialized in treating diseases and relieving the pain of the soldiers.
And Ji issued a royal order to the soldiers, that is, when fighting with the army, they should cover the retreat of the medical officers, and protect their safety at all times, and place the medical officers before the war, so that with this guarantee, these medical officers will dispel their worries and do their best to treat the soldiers, and they will not be disturbed by other disturbances.
"As soon as this order came out, the people of the medical school were boiling, and they were gearing up, planning to join the army of Zhou State, and soon the work of recruiting doctors into the army was gradually carried out."
Ji Fa also learned later that why the people sent by the healers were willing to join the army, they felt their own value, and thought that their value could help the army of the Zhou State and defend the territory of their country, and the healers were recognized for the first time, and they were no longer as useful and statusless as before.
After the first stage of development, Zhou Guo has made excellent progress in talent recruitment.
The most important thing is a minister of the Shang State, Xin Jia, a well-known loyal minister, completely lost confidence in the King of Zhou, learned that the King of Zhou was thirsty for talent, and after the careful efforts of the Zhou State, he was quickly escorted to the territory of the Zhou State, after learning the importance of this person, the officials from all over the country escorted him personally, and sent this person to Xiqi City along the way, and soon Ji Fa saw Xin Jia in the palace.
Xin Jia wanted to test it to see if Ji Fa was so eager to be virtuous as rumored, or Corporal Lixian.
So Xin Jia deliberately didn't worship after seeing Ji Fa, and Ji Fa smiled and asked the others to retreat first.
Then Ji Fa directly scolded him: "Before I saw you, I thought you were so talented, but I didn't expect it to be in vain, not as good as the six-year-old children in the country of Lone Zhou, they still know etiquette and etiquette, Lone King often heard people say that the Shang State is a big state, but I didn't expect the minister who came out of it to be so rude, the slightest disrespect for the king of a country, since you are so lonely and don't see this kind of minister, where do you come from, go back to where." ”
Xin Jia was stunned directly, he didn't expect Ji Fa to treat himself like this, he originally thought that Ji Fa would appease himself well, and he would borrow the donkey from the slope when the time came, and he would be an official in Ji Fa's court, but he didn't expect to be educated by Ji Fa as soon as he came up, and what Ji Fa said was reasonable, and it was all the truth, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, so he had to kneel down and give a big gift to Zhou Wangji.
"Hehehe, I have a way to deal with an old stubborn minister like you, or a man of tongue, I will scold you first, in this case, see what you do Hehe, say it is polite, but it is also to treat a rude person, for a stubborn old pedant like you, you must also use this method." Ji Fa snickered in his heart.
"Excuse me." Ji Fa pretended to be majestic and said.
Then Ji Fa opened his mouth and said: "I heard that you have offered seventy-two suggestions to the king of Zhou, and you have given seventy-two advices, but the king of Zhou has not listened, so you might as well listen to it, and if there is a suitable one, then immediately follow your teachings." ”
Ji Fa is this routine, first angrily, let him lose his way, and then then gently and politely, patient and modest advice, such a contrast, it is easy to gain Xin Jia's trust, just listen to Xin Jia there tactfully, Ji Fa listened carefully to all of them.
Then the projects suitable for Zhou Guo were extracted, which was not conducive to Zhou Guo's strategy, and directly explained the reason and denied it, and then Xin Jia felt respect, and the idea of wanting to stay in Zhou Guo was even stronger, so Ji Fa's purpose was obtained, and he didn't consume other things, so he collected Xin Jia in.
