After another discussion, the candidates for each position were finally decided. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The chief official of the prefectural official mansion is served by Taifu Ding Tong, and the chief official of the Qiuguan Mansion is Chen Peng, the former official of the Qiuguan Mansion. At this point, each of the three vacated positions has a new owner.
"Good. In the end, this king has a proposal to change the original Tianguan Mansion to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the old lady will take the post of Prime Minister to assist the king in ruling hundreds of officials and handling government affairs, what do you think? After Ji Yan finished speaking, he swept around a few people.
"Great goodness!" The crowd shouted in unison.
Yan Shu frowned and said: "Qi my king, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I have never had the position of prime minister, this, this ......"
Ji Yan smiled: "Everything is made from nothing, old lady, no, don't be surprised!" In the future, according to what we agreed before, the ancestral system of the Five-Day Dynasty will be restored. The prime minister presided over the dynasty, and the hundred officials presented the prepared recitals to the prime minister. The prime minister will handle the daily affairs by himself, and the major and special matters will be handed over to the king for the seal before implementation. ”
"No!"
After everything was negotiated, everyone was about to leave, and Yan Shu suddenly said: "Everyone wait first, there is still a major matter that needs to be dealt with first." ”
When everyone looked at him, he arched his hand at Ji Yan and said: "Enlighten my king, since the rebellion in the palace is nothing less than military affairs, tracing back to the source, it is all private soldiers who cause trouble." As he spoke, he looked around: "The old minister suggested abolishing the private soldier system, and at present, all the private soldiers in the major prefectures should be returned to my king, and only the escort of no more than three hundred people can be retained." ”
Li Gui arched his hand and said: "The old minister seconded the proposal!" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Others also bowed up.
Ji Yan looked at Yan Rate gratefully, and sure enough, this old minister was thoughtful! It seems that it is really right to make him prime minister.
Everyone left, and Ji Yan left Li Gui alone.
"Old general, no, old lady, this king wants to discuss with you about the army." Ji Yan said straight to the point: "Now, all the private soldiers have been recovered, plus the original six soldiers and horses, there are almost 16,000 or so in total, what does the old lady think?" ”
"The old minister thinks that it is enough to supplement and expand the six armies." Li Gui arched his hand.
"No, this king doesn't think so." Ji Yan shook his head and said: "Old lady, please think about it, the previous six armies had a total of six armies, all of which were according to the establishment of the army, but the total number of people was only about 6,000 people, it is not difficult to imagine how serious the situation of more soldiers and fewer soldiers is. How many of these officers are waiting to die? And how many intertwined are there between these officers? If it is not completely broken up, it will be difficult for this army to have combat effectiveness, no matter who is the commander. ”
Li Gui nodded silently.
"This king is thinking that the number of the six armies of the Son of Heaven will be simply revoked, and all the armies of the Xia Guanfu will be changed to field armies in the future. Now a field army has been set up, with Ji Che as the leader, but the personnel is only one thousand and eight, and some can be supplemented for it. ”
Li Gui arched his hand and said: "But after all, this Ji Che is a person from the Eastern Zhou Principality, and his loyalty still needs to be observed!" ”
"There is no doubt about employing people!" Ji Yan said in a deep voice: "Since he is already loyal to this king, we should trust him, it's a big deal to let two of our people give him a hand." ”
"No!"
"In addition, since the number of people is sufficient, the second field army can be set up, and this king intends to let Li Sui be the general of the second army."
"Huh?" Li Gui was surprised: "How old is he?" How can you be in such a high position? What's more, the old minister became the head of the Xia Guanfu, how could he let his grandson be a military general again, isn't this following in Yang Han's footsteps? ”
"Age is not an issue. Judging from his outstanding completion of tasks, he is fully qualified for the position of a general, not to mention, he has repeatedly made great contributions, and this king should reward him, right? Ji Yan said with a smile: "As for Yang Han's old road, the mistakes are ahead, the old lady won't go to go, right?" As long as you uphold a loyal heart, you can completely move internally without avoiding relatives, and externally without avoiding hatred. Well, that's it. Let's discuss the distribution of soldiers. ”
"Okay!" Li Gui said with a heavy heart: "Since my king intends to reuse it for this little cub, the old minister can only agree." As for the distribution of soldiers, presumably our king has already made arrangements, and the old minister will do it. ”
"Good. First of all, I heard Li Sui say that there are more than 2,000 war horses in the Qiuguan Mansion, which means that it can equip more than 2,000 cavalry, plus the original Sixth Army already has more than 1,000 cavalry, a total of 4,000 cavalry. Half of these cavalry were allocated to the forbidden army, and the other half was reserved for Li Sui's second army. ”
"No!"
"The remaining 10,000 2 foot soldiers will be given to the first army of 6,000 men and the second army of 6,000 men."
"No!" After Li Gui agreed, he asked suspiciously: "Don't we want chariots in the future?" ”
"Don't do it!" Ji Yan waved his hand: "From now on, the chariot soldiers will become history in my Zhou country." ”
"In this way, we have three armies, about 4,000 forbidden troops, and about 8,000 each of the two field armies, a total of 20,000 horses." Ji Yan couldn't help laughing as he spoke: "The field army is managed by the Xia Guanfu on weekdays, and the training cannot be slack for a moment. When fighting, it will be dispatched by the king with runes. In the past, we had tiger talismans, but in the future, we will have to add two talismans, dragon and leopard, the dragon talisman can be deployed to the whole army, the tiger talisman can be dispatched to an upper limit of one army, and the leopard talisman can be dispatched to an upper limit of one division. The dragon and tiger talismans are in the hands of the king, and the leopard talismans are placed in the Xia Guanfu and are in the hands of the Taiwei. ”
"No!" Li Gui nodded slowly, thinking about it, he felt that the arrangement of the Son of Heaven was very reasonable, at his age, he had not usually learned much relevant knowledge, how did he come up with these things? He looked at this immature Son of Heaven, but he couldn't figure it out, and finally could only say in his heart: The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, after all, it is not comparable to us ordinary people.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ji Yan left Yan and other private soldiers in the palace to guard the palace, and then took the forbidden army and the field army to the gate of the Qiuguan Mansion. Around him, surrounded by Li Gui, Yan Shu, Wei Yan, Li Sui, Ji Che, the new head of the Qiuguan Mansion Chen Peng, and the personal guards of the brigade, Ji Jing and Ji Ying were tied to horses and watched by several forbidden soldiers.
After the formation was completed, the guards began to shout according to Ji Yan's instructions: "Listen to the people inside, Ji Jing and Ji Ying have already confessed their guilt and surrendered to the law. The Son of Heaven was merciful and decided to spare their lives. Now that you are surrounded by armies, the only way out is to lay down your arms and give up resistance. As for Yang Han, Wang Xu and other leaders, as long as they are willing to ask the Son of Heaven to surrender, they can also leave a life. ”
After shouting, several feather arrows were shot into the courtyard, and each feather arrow was tied to a silk letter with the words "surrender and not kill".
Since Ji Jing's ancestors and grandsons were taken away the night before, Yang Han and Wang Xu stayed in the Qiuguan Mansion waiting for the verdict of fate, in their minds, it must be the result of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, so they discussed a desperate battle, the big deal is that the fish is dead and the net is broken, after all, there are so many people in their hands, and they are not completely without the power to fight.
Early in the morning, I heard that the Son of Heaven had arrived with a large army, and hurried to the courtyard wall. Looking at the bound Ji Jing ancestor and grandson, listening to the shouts below, the desperate determination slowly faded. The soldiers also lost the spirit of fighting, and many of them had begun to lose their weapons, which made the two even more frustrated. Then I received a letter from Yujian, which made it very clear that as long as they gave up resistance, the Son of Heaven would never kill anyone, and the book was also stamped with the seal of the Son of Heaven. Can you save your life? This made the two overjoyed, and after a little discussion, they hurriedly asked people to open the door, and hurriedly came to the door and knelt down to plead guilty to the Son of Heaven.
Everything went well, Ji Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that these two people would be in a dying struggle, but fortunately, after they didn't have Ji Jing as the backbone, they didn't have the courage to confront themselves at all, and they were able to subdue through a few simple methods.
