Feeling distrustful of these Tartar tribes, Xu Shiyang demanded that every male over the age of 14 be counted as soldiers, and that they should bring their own weapons to fight in the army when the suzerainty needed them.

However, Xu Shiyang only allowed them to be equipped with weapons that were two eras behind: the most advanced firearms could only be arquebuses, and it didn't matter whether they were bird guns or standard 1, but the prices of muskets and gunpowder sold to Waifan should be increased as appropriate, and they were not allowed to sell at parity, and Qi Guogong and civilians were not allowed to resell firearms and gunpowder at will, and the private sale of gunpowder and weapons must be reported to the local government.

In this way, the main weapons of the Waibo tribesmen will still remain at the level of cold weapons.

Of course, although they can't compete with the Qi army, given the production capacity of Qi steel and armor, these tribes can still improve their equipment level much compared to the previous era when iron tools were more valuable than ginseng and mink.

In order to educate these barbarians as soon as possible, Xu Shiyang planned to vigorously promote Confucian education among the Waibo tribes, cultivate the idea of foolishness and loyalty among the young people of the tribe, and select some young people with excellent academic performance to study in Quancheng every year through the situation of Baguwen.

In the future, after graduation, these people will return to their tribes, and the Qi state will support them to become the new tribal rulers.

Of course, Xu Shiyang will make it clear that science education will not be allowed to be promoted like them, and science and engineering education will be strictly limited to the fair people of Qi State.

Outsiders only need to read the saint's books honestly.

Corresponding to the Tibetan tribes, Qi's own commoners and slaves were not allowed to possess firearms with better performance, and if they purchased flintlock pistols or guns, they must have civilian qualifications or above.

After the completion of the above series of reform measures, the Qi army will have a standing field army of 15 to 160,000 people, a navy of 30,000 people, a mobilized reserve force of 300,000 people, and a militia of more than 1 million.

There were 12,000 soldiers from the Waibo tribe and 23,000 soldiers from Goryeo.

The internal and external mobilization capacity is more than 1.5 million, even in a unified and powerful feudal dynasty, this is a terrifying number, not to mention that now the Qi State actually only owns five provinces, this situation can really be called too full of martial virtues.

……

The joint meeting of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry was held intermittently from early November to mid-December, and the general framework of military reform was set up, and all that remained was the question of the specific implementation details; Xu Shiyang himself did not need to be too concerned about this, and the General Staff Department and field units at all levels were able to do a good job in the work they were in charge of.

However, the end of the military reform meeting of the Ministry of War does not mean that all the meetings are over.

Due to the enthronement of King Qi next year, this year's conference season is particularly busy, and Xu Shiyang also has to participate in a series of issues such as the construction of state power, the selection of the country name and the year name, and the selection of the enthronement date.

In addition, there is a regular annual summary and a plan ...... for the coming year.

It's just busy.

Fortunately, everyone already has a lot of experience in routine work, and it is just a step-by-step implementation.

Regarding the work of King Qi's ascension to the throne, Qi has also secretly made a lot of preparations in recent years - after all, everyone knows that this is a matter of time or time, and everyone is looking forward to this day, so that they can rise step by step with King Qi's ascension to the throne.

In fact, it was Xu Shiyang who really brought trouble to the enthronement work.

For example, when talking about the issue of the country name, everyone thinks that Great Qi is very good, but Xu Shiyang pointed out that Qi has never unified the world in history, and at most it is only a local regime.

The Qi State, the head of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, was also a very unenterprising country, and these temperaments were not in line with the future national strategy, so the opposition to the country was directly called Great Qi.

Xu Shiyang's opinion is that in order to show that this dynasty is different and will not repeat the mistakes of the decline and demise of previous dynasties, he simply set the name of the country as "Huaxia".

Changing the name of the country from one word to two characters, the national unification directly traces back to the beginning of the nation, implying that this dynasty is not newly built, but inherited from the national sages.

Xu Shiyang's request sounds far-fetched, but King Qi himself still likes this title of infinitely elevating his own dynasty to the level of the nation.

So it was decided, the name of the new dynasty was Huaxia, and the year name was traced back to the first year of the republic with a clear era in China, and the next year was the republic of 1790.

It is also Xu Shiyang's idea to use the republic as the era name, and the internal explanation is that this can dilute the stigma of King Qi seeking to seize the imperial power of the Great Zhou Dynasty with his subordinates - we are inheriting the ancestors and rebuilding China, not usurping the imperial power of the Great Zhou.

The biggest supporter of this suggestion is the King of Qi himself, because Xu Shiyang privately hinted that he and his descendants will not change the era name, and the title of the emperor in the future will be simplified to Republic I, Republic II, III, IV ......, such an order arrangement, the emperor's personality in the title will be greatly compressed in the future, and Xu Muhe, the Republic I, will undoubtedly become the most eye-catching existence in the history books.

I have to say that Xu Shiyang knows too well what his father wants, so he can do what he likes and use some plausible reasons to instill his ideas into Xu Muhe.

With the support of King Qi himself, it will be difficult for others to reverse Xu Shiyang's opinion on the issue of country name and year name.

Naturally, when Xu Shiyang raised the issue of the national flag, everyone finally accepted his opinion: red background, black twelve-pointed star with blue moon and yellow sun.

The flag symbolizes the brightness of the sky, and also symbolizes the merits of the new dynasty in saving China and rebuilding China in the hands of Hu Lu (bringing a better tomorrow to China).

The official registration date will be selected on Jiazi Day in February next year.

Because every year in February and August, the sun rises due east and sets due west, and the sun symbolizes imperial power.

As for the Jiazi day, it is because the first and the first in the heavenly stem and the earthly branch respectively, and the first and the second are the number of "nine", and "nine" is the number of the heavens.

Finally, in the legend, after the king of Wu was killed, he chose to set the world in Jiazi in February, and the king of Qi deliberately chose this date, and at the same time had the meaning of conforming to the number of days and ancestors.

After that, the legal system, wisdom, music system, and literary system of the new dynasty originally had the foundation of the Qi State, which was nothing more specific and large-scale, so they were all determined quickly.

The only twist and turn during this period was Xu Shiyang's insistence on mixing his own private goods and demanding the implementation of the cabinet responsibility system in the new dynasty:

The emperor is the head of the world and the prime minister of all state affairs.

As the heir to the throne, the crown prince studied and assisted in state affairs.

A prime minister, who also served as the crown prince's concubine, was both the emperor's main assistant in governing the administration and the prince's teacher (class teacher).

The two second ministers, concurrently serving as the prince's young master, plus six books.

There are 11 cabinet members, and if you use an analogy, these people are the "rostrum" of the new dynasty.

Of course, this is a feudal dynasty after all, and the emperor and the crown prince are still high.

It's just that Xu Shiyang hopes to use the power of the prime minister to balance the imperial power, so as not to have a few faint monarchs in his family in the future, and the family will be ruined in a generation.
