Chapter 181: Straighten out the army
After an afternoon of interviews, I met with dozens of officials, and five people were selected from them on the weekend, one of them was Qin Qian, and the others were okay, they were all young talents, but even Qin Qian was selected It was really surprising. Seeing Qin Qian like this, he has already stepped into the coffin with half a foot to say something ugly, and he can actually be reused.
"This person must be very pleasing to King Zhuang."
"Don't underestimate him, he is old, and the level of whiskers and horses is not comparable to our young people."
Some of the eliminated officials took the acid and deceived themselves into believing that Qin Qian had made King Zhuang happy by patting his ass and got the opportunity to be promoted.
"The incompetent find the reason in others." How can the emperor's mind be so easy to see, and they think they are very talented when they are pretended to be on the weekend. Whether you have talent or not is never what you think, but depends on the people around you.
Even if those people are eliminated, they are not aware of their own shortcomings.
"Such a person still wants to be reused by me?" Weekends scoff at these people.
Among the five people selected for the weekend, there are people with ordinary family backgrounds like Qin Qian, and some people with extraordinary family backgrounds.
As long as they are talented and capable, they are willing to give them opportunities on weekends.
"A qualified superior person must not only have the ability himself, but more importantly, he must know how to do his job. The selection of subordinates on the weekend depends on the loyalty of their subordinates, and the second is that they have a certain talent, and other external factors can be ignored. "On the weekend, I lost no time in saying to the civil servants around me.
It's like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who can neither write nor martial arts, if he is allowed to PK with Xiang Yu head-on, I am afraid that he will be flattened by Xiang Yu with a punch, but in the end, Liu Bang won the world.
On the weekend, he deliberately told the civil official that he would let him tell outsiders, so that more well-educated people would come to the Chu State.
Qin Qian is reused, firstly, because Qin Gan is more tactful than others, and he is old and sophisticated, and secondly, he wants the world to see his determination to appoint people on the basis of merit. Even a handful of old Qin Qian can be reused, not to mention a young man with real talent and learning.
After the news of Qin Qian's reuse came out, many people poured into Yingdu to fight for the opportunity to show their ambitions.
With his own team, the next step is to rectify the army and use an iron fist to make Chu the real overlord of the Central Plains.
The army of Chu State, except for the Praetorian Guard, had not fought for a long time, and its morale was low. Over the weekend, a series of systems and measures were put in place to change the status quo of the military.
1. Soldiers compete in squads every month, and the winner can get a reward of ten copper coins. And use this to select elite soldiers and establish a special forces team.
2. Organize regular military drills.
3. Selecting people with military talents.
Fourth, regularly go to the grassroots soldiers to express condolences.
Fifth, we should rectify military discipline and severely punish those who violate military discipline, and those who abide by military discipline should select outstanding deputies among them, and they should also be rewarded with 10 copper coins.
In short, the radish will be increased to mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers, so that the army can develop in an all-round way.
In court, the implementation of this series of systems and measures was announced over the weekend.
The courtiers immediately began to whisper, and the measures enacted over the weekend were undoubtedly a reform. During the Warring States Period, the ministers of various countries liked to stick to the rules, and the ministers of Chu State were the same, full of disapproval and opposition, but thinking of the ruthlessness of King Zhuang who destroyed other families before, he swallowed all the opposition in his stomach, but he was unwilling.
A small group of ministers gathered together, their voices all extremely low, but dozens of people spoke at the same time, and no matter how low their voices were, they still seemed to be chaotic. The ministers discussed for a while, decided not to be the first bird, and put their hopes on Cheng Jia, hoping that he would take the lead in opposing it.
Who knew that Cheng Jia said, "Zhuang Wang Shengming!" Then he stepped back, and stood there looking at his nose and nose, and his nose and heart, as if he was very much in favor of the weekend's reforms.
An official standing next to Cheng Jia glanced at him, and secretly pulled Cheng Jia's sleeves through a wide robe, signaling his opposition to King Zhuang's reforms.
Cheng Jiawu was unmoved. On the weekend, he took things in front of him many times, and he was so heroic when he destroyed the four clans, except for the guidance of the sky on the weekend to cultivate the immortal law, Cheng Jia couldn't think of any other reason to make the waste wood King Zhuang have such a earth-shaking change. If it was just King Zhuang, he would still object, but the current King Zhuang is a god. How do people fight with immortals?
Perhaps King Zhuang's decision to carry out the reform was out of the will of God.
The ministers in the court were tiptoeing, squeezing their eyebrows one by one, looking very funny, and they all wanted others to come forward to refute the weekend.
Until the end of the court, no one dared to say a word of rebuttal to the weekend.
There is a way that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and now although they disapprove from the bottom of their hearts, as long as they make results and make the Chu army stronger, they will have nothing to say.
The weekend had already made up its mind, and even if the ministers objected, they were determined to carry it out.
Soldiers live a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and at the same time, they have the least status and need humanistic care the most.
On the second day after the implementation of the new system, he went to the barracks on weekends to inspect the lives of the soldiers.
"Hurry up, King Zhuang is here!"
"Will King Zhuang come to us? Don't tease me! The fat soldier lay on the haystack, turned over, and continued to dream of his spring and autumn.
"It's true, King Zhuang has come to visit us."
"Brother, you don't have a fever, do you?" The fat soldier sat up impatiently.
The soldiers live at the grassroots level, not to mention the king of Chuzhuang, even the marshal, they have never seen it.
There has been no war in the state of Chu for a long time, the discipline in the army is somewhat lax, and there are people sleeping in broad daylight.
"If you don't get up again, beware of being beheaded."
Although he had said in the court the weekend that he would regularly inspect the barracks, no one expected that he would come to the barracks the next day and go directly to the grassroots to inspect them.
In ancient times, officialdom would do some superficial articles, and going to the grassroots level often best understood the living conditions of the soldiers, and could make the soldiers feel the care of King Zhuang, and they would be more loyal to King Zhuang, and they would work harder and have more combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
The soldiers lined up neatly, and when they saw the weekend coming, they stood straighter than usual and were in good spirits, striving to show their best mental outlook in front of King Zhuang.
After inspecting the barracks, it was announced over the weekend that a big competition would be held in the army three days later, and those who got a good ranking in the competition could become the elite of the army. During the Warring States Period, soldiers were also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Some low-level soldiers can only rush to the forefront as cannon fodder during war. The weekend was now a chance to give them a chance to leap into the dragon gate, and the soldiers were eager to try it and take it very seriously.
A month has passed, and a team of elite soldiers has been successfully assembled over the weekend.
coincided with the Jin State attacking Cai State, and the Marquis of Cai Zhuang asked Chu for help, and after such a painstaking effort to reorganize the army over the weekend, there was some speculation in Chu that King Zhuang was going to send troops to save Cai State.
