"It's the last year......" Watching the city lords and ministers walk into the council hall, Su Yan sighed with emotion, this is the last time.

The county and town system is about to be implemented, and next year's early spring court meeting will only be attended by ministers and county magistrates, and the directors of various ministries will come to Zhongjing to attend the meetings of various ministries.

When the county magistrate and the director return to the county seat, they will convene a meeting of the town mayor and the director to convey the king's orders one by one, although it is a little more cumbersome than before, but the Xia country is constantly expanding, in order not to let the Xia country be chaotic, this step must be taken.

The first item of this year's court meeting is a summary of the "First Five-Year Development Plan of the Xia Kingdom", the second is the issuance of the "Second Five-Year Development Plan of the Xia Kingdom", and then the main things are explained in detail.

There were many things, and the meeting lasted a whole day before it ended, and the next day, the ministers held another meeting with the sub-ministers, and on the third day, the lord of the castle and the sub-ministers took boats to prepare to return to their respective cities.

On the two boats heading in the direction of Chucheng and Lucheng respectively, there were two more large families, each with eleven people, the Ping family and the An family.

It turned out that Su Yan gave his two sons a new task and went to Chucheng and Lucheng to serve as the second deputy county magistrate.

After the implementation of the county town system in the Xia Kingdom, both the city and the city will become county seats, one is located in the westernmost part of the Xia Kingdom, and the other is located in the easternmost part of the Xia Kingdom.

Originally, a county had one principal and two deputy county magistrates, and in the past, there was a second deputy county magistrate, and there were not many positions, mainly to learn more from the county magistrate's side, and at the same time stay away from Zhongjing to see the situation in other cities.

In addition, the king's heirs sat on both sides of the Xia Kingdom, which played a great role in the stability of the Xia Kingdom.

As soon as the lords and ministers returned to their respective cities, preparations were made, and there were still five days to go before February, and the lords and branch ministers who needed to be transferred to their posts took boats to the castles where they were served.

The same is the city lord or sub-minister, the old and the meritorious are given priority to become the county magistrate or director, a country, seven counties, forty-one cities, there are many people who need to be transferred, but this year only the main post will be transferred, the deputy post will be temporarily retained for one year, and the deputy post that needs to be transferred will wait until next spring to be transferred, and one year is enough time for the main post to take over everything.

The implementation of the county and town system will cause small-scale chaos in the Xia Kingdom, but the impact will not be too great, and it will not even affect the implementation of the Second Five-Year Development Plan of the Xia Kingdom.

After Mu Shi returned to the city, the cavalry unit was officially renamed the First Cavalry Regiment of the Xia Kingdom, which can be referred to as the cavalry regiment.

Mu Shi served as the captain of the cavalry regiment, Kong Chang was Mu Shi's deputy, the cavalry regiment had two towns under its jurisdiction, the snake proverb was the town guard, Liu Jun was the deputy of the snake proverb, He Ye was the town guard of the second town, and Yingshun was the deputy of He Ye.

By the way, there is also the snake arrogant, who has become the vice captain.

The changes of the cavalry regiment are very small, after the completion of the adaptation, Mu Shi immediately led the cavalry regiment to conquer the grassland, the cavalry regiment has two towns, each town has one road, and it is divided into two ways to conquer the grassland, this time Mu Shi followed the two towns.

Kong Chang did not follow the cavalry regiment to conquer the grassland, but stayed in the city, in addition to those combatants, the cavalry regiment also left dozens of disabled veterans as logistics, Kong Chang wanted to stay in the city with the veterans to train recruits.

This year, the cavalry regiment will be expanded by three teams, ten people will be selected from each city in the Xia Kingdom, and they will be concentrated in the city for three months of training, and according to the results, the number of people needed by the cavalry regiment will be left, and the rest will return to their respective cities, and they will generally join the city defense army.

Anti-Black Alliance

It has been nearly a year since the Anti-Mafia Alliance took the initiative to attack the city, and the Anti-Mafia Alliance completed its reorganization and moved to a new place to recuperate, and when the reorganization was just completed, the total population of the Anti-Mafia Alliance was less than 12,000, with about 1,300 adult males left, and about 2,700 adult females, and less than 3,000 adult combatants could be assembled at the same time.

Nearly a year has passed, the anti-black alliance has been restored, and the total population has exceeded 13,000, with more than 1,600 adult males and 3,300 adult females, and the number of adult combatants can reach 3,400.

Even if the Anti-Black Alliance was hit hard by the city last year, the population of the Anti-Black Alliance is now equivalent to four nomadic tribes of three thousand people, and its strength is equivalent to three tribes of three thousand people.

"It's time for our anti-black alliance to make a move." At the first meeting of the leaders of the Anti-Black Alliance this year, the leader of the withered grass and the other six leaders said so.

"How are we going to move? Send invitations to other tribes? "There was a question from the chief.

The leader of the withered grass replied, "Yes, we will extend invitations to those tribes, but before we can do so, we must first tell them about the powerful black tribes, so that they know that there is a very powerful black tribe in the east that is constantly devouring the nomadic tribes of the steppes.

The purpose of the establishment of the Anti-Black Alliance is to fight against the Black Tribe, the former Anti-Black Alliance is stronger than the current Anti-Black Alliance, but it was defeated by the Black Tribe, the Black Tribe itself did not suffer much loss, but the Anti-Black Alliance was hit hard, and our Anti-Black Alliance had to move to this area to recuperate.

I hope that more nomadic tribes will join our anti-black alliance and fight against the black tribe together, if the black tribe is not removed, there will never be a peaceful day in the steppe, and it will not be long before the black tribe will appear in our area. ”

"Yes, we should first let the other tribes know the strength of the Black Tribe, and under the threat of the Black Tribe, join our Anti-Black Alliance to fight against the Black Tribe."

"I have a proposal, our seven tribes have been hit hard by the Anti-Black Alliance, we can't invite too strong tribes to join our Anti-Black Alliance, it is easy to have accidents, and the objects of the invitation should be those nomadic tribes whose population does not exceed the Withered Grass Tribe." A leader made a proposal.

After thinking for a while, all the leaders agreed to this proposal, the Withered Grass Tribe was already the most populous of the seven tribes, and if a more powerful tribe joined the Anti-Black Alliance, it would be easy for an accident to occur, and maybe the Anti-Black Alliance would fall apart at that time.

After the meeting, the other six chiefs returned to their tribes' settlements and sent out their teams to contact the nomadic tribes with a population of less than 2,500 people.

The Withergrass Tribe was unable to send a team, after all, the Withergrass Tribe was surrounded by six other tribes, and the Withergrass Tribe did not have strange nomadic tribes as neighbors.

In fact, the area where the Anti-Black Alliance is located, since the war between the Anti-Black Alliance and the Fire Tribe, has undergone very big changes, and it is only one thing for each tribe to stay away from the Anti-Black Alliance, and more importantly, some tribes have found that the Anti-Black Alliance is composed of seven nomadic tribes, not a single tribe, so some nomadic tribes have the idea of uniting with other tribes to fight against the Anti-Black Alliance.

However, it is not so simple to form an alliance between nomadic tribes, for many years, there has been almost no tribal alliance on the grassland, and the anti-black alliance is the first formal large-scale nomadic tribal alliance, and the alliance has various regulations to clarify the obligations of member tribes.

The Anti-Black Alliance was established to fight against the powerful Black Tribe, and now there are nomadic tribes in the surrounding area of the Anti-Black Alliance who want to form a tribal alliance, and there is a great possibility of success, because its goal is to fight against the Anti-Black Alliance.

There is nothing wrong with the Anti-Black Alliance being formed to fight against the Black Tribe, but the other tribal alliances were formed to fight against the Black Alliance.

But there is one thing to note, the nomadic tribes that need to fight against the anti-black alliance to form an alliance are almost all looking for allies with similar strength to themselves, and there are very few strong nomadic tribes looking for weak nomadic tribes as allies, and it is even more impossible for weak nomadic tribes to find strong nomadic tribes as allies, once they are found to be where they live, they will be directly annexed.

At this time, the "invitation" of the Anti-Black Alliance was sent out, and it was sent to various nomadic tribes with a population of less than 2,500 people, even if it was a nomadic tribe with a population of only a few hundred people.

"What? Is there a tribe more powerful than the Anti-Black Alliance? ”

"It turns out that the former Anti-Black Alliance is more powerful than the current Anti-Black Alliance, but it was only after being defeated by the Black Tribe that it fled here, I really can't imagine how powerful the Black Tribe is stronger than the Anti-Black Alliance."

"Black tribes? Does it really exist? How could there be such a powerful tribe? ”

"Is our tribe going to choose to join the Anti-Black Alliance?"

"Whether the Anti-Black Alliance is telling the truth or a lie, it doesn't matter, the black tribe hasn't seen it yet, only the powerful Anti-Black Alliance, our tribe chooses to move, stay away from the Anti-Black Alliance, and stay away from the Black Tribe who doesn't know if it exists, let them fight to the death, and our tribe will come back to pick up the cheap."

"Our tribe does not join the Anti-Black Alliance, and our tribe wants to unite with other tribes that are familiar with each other to form a new alliance."

When the surrounding tribes of the Anti-Black Alliance knew about the Anti-Black Alliance and the Black Tribe, chaos arose.

Some tribes immediately chose to move to the west, away from the anti-black alliance and away from the black tribe.

Some tribes choose to communicate with other tribes that are familiar with each other and reach an alliance as soon as possible to fight against the anti-black alliance and also against the black tribe.

There are also weak tribes that tend to join the Anti-Black Alliance, and there are many tribes who are now confused and don't know what to do.

Soon, the action of the Anti-Black Alliance produced some results, and several nomadic tribes with a population of less than 2,000 or even less than 1,000 people were connected with the member tribes of the Anti-Black Alliance, and inquired in detail about the Anti-Black Alliance, and finally two tribes chose to join the Anti-Black Alliance.

It is a good thing that two nomadic tribes have joined the Anti-Black Alliance, and the joining of these two nomadic tribes has added two thousand people to the Anti-Black Alliance and hundreds more adult combatants.

After joining the Anti-Black Alliance, the two nomadic tribes moved to the area of the Anti-Black Alliance, and all the member tribes of the Anti-Black Alliance gathered together, so that it was easy to protect themselves, even if the enemy attacked, other allies would quickly come to the rescue and drive the enemy away.

But there are also bad things happening, from the west and north of the anti-black alliance there is a tribal alliance appearing.

The tribal alliance in the West has only two members, but each member tribe has a population of more than 3,000, making the total population of this tribal alliance as much as more than 6,500 people, and it has more than 2,000 adult combatants.

The tribal alliance in the north was even stronger, with a total of three member tribes, one with a population of more than 3,000 and two with a population of more than 2,500, adding up to a population of more than 8,000, and a maximum of 3,000 adult combatants.

Although these two tribal alliances are not as strong as the Anti-Black Alliance, they both pose a threat to the Anti-Black Alliance, and the leaders of the Anti-Black Alliance did not expect that other tribal alliances would appear so soon, fortunately, the Anti-Black Alliance is the most powerful, and other tribal alliances should not take the initiative to attack the Anti-Black Alliance.

After all, the target of the Anti-Black Alliance is the Black Tribe, and basically it will not take the initiative to attack other nomadic tribes or alliances, and perhaps it is a good thing that other tribal alliances appear, which can gather strength to fight against the Black Tribe.

"We want more tribes to join the anti-black alliance, speed up the contact with those wavering tribes, and we must let them join our anti-black alliance." At the third meeting of the leaders, the leader of the withered grass made a proposal, which was unanimously approved by all the leaders.

Although the Anti-Black Alliance will not have wars with other tribes or alliances, the Anti-Black Alliance needs stronger strength to protect itself, especially the two tribes who have just joined the Anti-Black Alliance, and they use all their strength to help the Anti-Black Alliance.

The efforts of the Anti-Black Alliance are effective, and in the summer, three more tribes joined the Anti-Black Alliance, making the number of member tribes of the Anti-Black Alliance reach twelve, which is only one member tribe compared to the peak, and the total population of the Anti-Black Alliance is also 19,000 people, which is still a big gap compared with the peak.

The strength of the Anti-Black Alliance has increased rapidly, and the surrounding area of the Anti-Black Alliance has undergone earth-shattering changes, one after another tribal alliances have been established, the smallest tribal alliance has only two member tribes, and the largest tribal alliance has reached six members.

There is a tribal alliance here, and the nearby nomadic tribes can only unite with familiar tribes to form a tribal alliance in order to fight against the new tribal alliance, and so on, it seems that the anti-black alliance has opened an era of tribal alliances for the nomadic tribes on the prairie.

In the future, the war on the prairie will change from a confrontation between tribes to a confrontation between tribal alliances and tribal alliances, with powerful alliances devouring weak alliances, but the alliance is unstable internally, and the alliance may soon fall apart.

The era of tribal alliances on the prairie was started by the anti-black alliance, but it will take a long time to spread throughout the prairie, and the era of the tribal alliance has just begun, except for the anti-black alliance with relatively complete rules, other tribal alliances are not stable internally.
