Chapter V: Counterinsurgency
Since King Yingzheng of Qin ascended the throne, he divided the civil and military forces, because the general Wang Jian was loyal to the Qin state. Therefore, Ying Zheng really mastered the military power of Qin. , plus Ying Zheng himself is very smart (outsiders look at it this way), so Lü Buwei can't control Ying Zheng, Lü Buwei didn't go to the court these days, and pretended to be sick at home, which made Ying Zheng feel that things were a bit serious.
"Go up to the court!!" shouted the little eunuch.
"See the king!" cried the minister.
Ying Zheng glanced down as usual, but didn't see Lu Buwei, so he said:
"Lu Xiangguo has not come to the court for seven days, and it seems that he is very sick. In this way, Jin Shangshu of the household department, you wait for the widow to visit Lu Xiangguo after retiring from the dynasty. and Zhao Gao (the little eunuch who has followed Yingzheng since he was a child) You brought a thousand-year-old ginseng plant in the palace to Lu Xiangguo, so that he could take good care of his body at home. Well, is there anything else you guys are up to?"
"King Qiqi, since the king began to implement the six-ministry system, the imperial court has been running smoothly, and all decrees can be implemented accurately, and now the lives of the people in my Qin State have been greatly improved, so many people in the cities who have just been obtained have also begun to recognize our country. Jin Shangshu of the household department said again.
"Well, we must strengthen management, and the six departments must take responsibility. Especially the Ministry of Punishment, to perfect the law as soon as possible, to be not afraid of power, you must know that you are directly under the jurisdiction of the widow, and you do not need to fear anyone. Ying Zheng said,
"Thank you, King!"
"The people are the foundation of a country, and without the people, there will be no country to talk about, so you must manage the people well, so that the people's sense of belonging to the Qin State will become stronger and stronger. There is also the general Wang Qian, you have to train your troops well, the world will be in chaos in less than three years, you must train the ice well in these three years, Nei Shi Teng and Meng Wu must cooperate well with General Wang, don't let the widow down. ”
"Okay, let's go out at low tide! Wang Qian, Meng Wu and Nei Shiteng and the three of you come to the 'study' with the widow."
"Retreat......... Towards !!"
At this time, all the ministers sitting in the chairs knelt on the ground and shouted, "Thank you, the king!!"
Ying Zheng got up from the dragon chair and asked Zhao Gao to help him to the 'upper study', and Wang Qian, Meng Wu and Nei Shi Teng also followed. After arriving at the 'upper study', Ying Zheng sat behind the desk and said to the three famous generals in history: "Don't be restrained, sit down first, wait for Zhao Gao's food to come, and after eating, we will talk about the reform of the army." ”
"Thank you, King!!" the three of them said in unison.
"King, breakfast has been served. Zhao Gao outside the door said,
"Take it in",
It was Zhao Gao who came in, and four palace maids with lunch boxes came in behind, and the palace maids walked in front of each other and took out the food: a bowl of porridge, a steamed bun, and a delicate side dish, this is their breakfast, Ying Zheng waved his hand and said to Zhao Gao: "You all go down!"
After speaking, he said to the three of them, "Eat them all!"
So they picked it up and began to eat, and when the three generals saw that the king was no longer reserved, they picked up the bowl and ate it. After eating, Ying Zheng asked someone to take the things down, and said to the three of them: "Now my Qin State is the most powerful country among the Seven Kingdoms, and the land occupies one-sixth of the entire Central Plains, and as the territory of our country grows larger and larger, the military system of the imperial court becomes inappropriate. Now I have a knighthood, but I also have to have the corresponding military ranks, here I divide the ranks into: general, lieutenant general, major general, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant.
The corps is divided into: corps, divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads, and its [***] has three corps, an army has three divisions, a division has three brigades, a brigade has three regiments, a regiment has three battalions, a battalion has three companies, a company has three platoons, and a platoon has three squads.
Among them, the highest military rank of the army commander is lieutenant general, the highest military rank of division commander is major general, the highest military rank of brigade commander is colonel, the highest military rank of regiment commander is lieutenant colonel, the highest military rank of battalion commander is major, the highest military rank of company commander is captain, the highest military rank of platoon commander is lieutenant, and the highest military rank of squad leader is second lieutenant.
In addition, there are five generalissimos, and there are only five in this life.
There is also a separation of civil and military families, and civil ministers are not allowed to give orders to military generals.
What do you think, is there anything else you would like to add?"
"What about the king, what about the marquis of the sub-fiefdom?" asked Nesten.
"Hehe, marquis are generally military meritorious, so they can get fiefs and build private armies on top of their respective fiefs. But to prevent them from rebelling, it is necessary to limit their armies from surpassing
The regimental level is the most suitable for the establishment of a private army at the regimental level. What do you think?" said Yingzheng.
"My lord, we have nothing to add. This rank system is very good!" the three of them said in unison.
"Okay, you guys retreat!!", Ying Zheng left after speaking. After Yingzheng left, the three of them didn't dare to stay a little longer, so they left together.
Walking on the road, Wang Jian asked: "General Meng, why did the king change the system of the army this time, is it just for better management in the future?"
"Huh...... General Wang, according to my observation, the king's heart is very big, and the little Qin State can't restrain him, coupled with the strength of my Qin State, it is very likely that the dream of unifying the Central Plains will be realized in the king. Besides, we are a general, and these are not what we should ask. ”
The next day, after meeting the king, Ying Zheng first asked: "Jin Shangshu, how is Lu Xiangguo's illness?"
"Back to the king, Lu Xiangguo's illness is almost better. And Lu Xiangguo was very moved when he saw the thousand-year-old ginseng given to him by the king, and expressed his willingness to 'bow down and die' for the king. ”】
"Hehe, Lu Xiangguo has a heart. ”
"Okay, Zhao Gao, read out the widow's will. ”】
"Fengtian carrier, the king edict said: Today, the widow views the chaos of the army system, which is not conducive to management, and discusses with Wang Qian, Mengwu and Nei Shiteng, the three generals, to reform the army. Since then, the civil and military families have been separated, and the civil servants are not allowed to meddle in the military and politics without the command of the widow. The reform of the army is as follows:
Military ranks are divided into: general, lieutenant general, major general, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant.
The corps is divided into: corps, divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads, and its [***] has three corps, an army has three divisions, a division has three brigades, a brigade has three regiments, a regiment has three battalions, a battalion has three companies, a company has three platoons, and a platoon has three squads.
Among them, the highest military rank of the army commander is lieutenant general, the highest military rank of division commander is major general, the highest military rank of brigade commander is colonel, the highest military rank of regiment commander is lieutenant colonel, the highest military rank of battalion commander is major, the highest military rank of company commander is captain, the highest military rank of platoon commander is lieutenant, and the highest military rank of squad leader is second lieutenant.
In addition, there are five generalissimos, and there are only five in this life.
!!
"What do you think?" asked Ying Zheng after reading the decree.
The ministers saw that Yingzheng was determined to reform, and they could only abide by it. They don't dare to touch Yingzheng's brows now, and none of the officials who come to the court will not be able to 'observe words and colors', and they will not be able to achieve this position without this eyesight.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Central Plains has been in turmoil. The seven great powers even began to attack the vassal states around them, and they had to clear the obstacles around them in the shortest possible time, so as to gain enough advantages in the end. And a year ago, the army reform of the Qin State had been completed, and three major army corps were formed, which were respectively served by Wang Qian, Mengwu, and Nei Shi Teng as the commanders of the three armies, all of whom were awarded the rank of lieutenant general. Feng Mengwu is the Marquis of Zhongyong, and Nei Shiteng is the Marquis of Changxin. Let the champion Hou Wang Jian lead his first army to sweep through the small vassal states around Qin, with his sons Major General Wang Ben (bì) and Major General Wang Xin as the vanguard, Zhongyong Hou Mengwu led his Second Army to the border between Qin and Zhao Wei to defend the border passes, and Changxin Hou Nei Shi Teng led the Third Army to guard Xianyang and defend the imperial city.
On this day, Yingzheng was discussing the matter in the court. Suddenly, a shout came from outside: "Good news, good news!! eight hundred miles urgent. General Wang Jian swept away the vassal states and was about to return to the court. ”
At this time, Lü Buwei said to his ministers: "The king should personally receive such good news to show his attention." ”
"Lu Xiangguo is right, the widow will take it personally. ”
As he spoke, Ying Zheng stepped down from the dragon chair and said to the person who took the war report: "Bring the war report."
"Yes, King"
As he spoke, he handed the battle report to Ying Zheng, and at the same time that Ying Zheng received the war report, the soldier holding the war report instantly took out a dagger from the war report and stabbed Ying Zheng. At this time, Ying Zheng did not panic, kicked the soldier aside, and instantly returned to the dragon chair, saying: "Come on, take down Lu Buwei." ”
"Hmph, Yingzheng Xiao'er, I was prepared. He turned around, bowed down and said, "I have a senior."
At this time, two people with swords walked in from outside the palace, and Ying Zheng looked at it and said in shock: "The left and right protectors of the Wei State's 'Heaven Interception Sect', aren't you afraid of provoking a war between the two countries?" Ying Zheng shouted loudly.
"Hmph, when you're dead, it won't be. The man with the sword said.
"Lu Buwei, do you think I will be unprepared?"
At this time, two people appeared on the left and right sides of Ying Zheng, who were two of the four heavenly kings of the Guiyuan faction.
"The Two Heavenly Kings of the Guiyuan Sect"
As he spoke, the four of them fought.
The people of the Heaven Interception Sect are extremely fast with their sword skills in one hand, and the entire hall is full of sword shadows, and the people of the Guiyuan Sect are extremely powerful in their fists, and they collide with the sword shadows without any damage.
Ying Zheng's Imperial Forest Army and Lü Buwei's army also fought.
At this time, Lu Buwei exuded a powerful momentum all over his body, Ying Zheng was shocked, and said to him: "Lu Buwei didn't expect you to hide so deeply, and your cultivation has actually reached the innate nine-layer Great Perfection, and you have entered the master-level powerhouse in one step. But you still can't beat mine. ”
"Yingzheng, I have been planning for many years, how can I let you destroy it, accept your life!" Lu Buwei shouted.
The two bumped into each other, Ying Zheng relied on the strength of his body, not afraid of Lu Buwei's attack, punch after punch, it was always this punch, but there was no pervasive, which made Lu Buwei very depressed.
"I've heard for a long time that you only practice one punch, and it's really extraordinary. But I'm not a vegetarian either, look at the trick!!"
Saying that, the internal force of the whole body was agitated, the true qi was released, and a pure innate internal force was injected into Lu Buwei's sword, and the sword light on the sword body flickered, like a poisonous snake, which made people shudder. The "Invincible Thirteen Swords" of the 'Heaven Interception Sect' played even more aggressively on Lu Buwei's sword, but Ying Zheng's body was very strong, although his clothes were tattered, he was not injured at all.
With the passage of time, Lü Buwei's internal strength gradually consumed, but Yingzheng became more and more courageous. At this time, Ying Zheng saw Lü Buwei's flaws, and instantly punched Lü Buwei's body, "boom", Lü Buwei was smashed to the pillar of the main hall, and immediately spit blood, Yingzheng appeared next to Lü Buwei at this time and restrained him. At the same time, the two Heavenly Kings of the Guiyuan Sect shouted loudly, and a punch hit the hearts of the two Dharma Protectors, killing the two Dharma Protectors instantly.
Ying Zheng shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed." Hearing this, the soldiers led by Lü Buwei were all restrained.
"Hold Lü Buwei to the prison and wait for tomorrow's trial, and let those soldiers go if they have no great fault, and if they do, they will be killed. Take Lü Buwei and the family members who participated in this rebellion under control, and wait for tomorrow's fate. ”
After speaking, Ying Zheng said to the two people of the Guiyuan faction: "Thank you two seniors. ”
"Hehe, if it weren't for us, the king would have succeeded, but it would have taken a lot of effort. ”
Ying Zheng smiled and didn't say anything.
At this point, Lü Buwei's rebellion was put down, and the Qin state also entered a period of rapid development.
Updates since then may be at night, hopefully without causing trouble for readers!!
