Five days later, the Wu Shepherd presented a secret letter.

In front of me was to induce Mao Dun to attack the Twelve Kingdoms, everything was going according to plan, and I gradually frowned when I saw the back.

After reading it all, I threw down the secret letter, got up and paced back and forth, and muttered to myself: "Maoton, what a Maoton, it has already begun to be restructured, and the ambition is not small." ”

When Wu Shifeng walked from the wolf court, he kept an eye on it, and found someone to inquire about the matter of Zuo Xianwang, only to know that Mao Dun had changed all the official positions of the Xiongnu, and now there are now the left and right Xian Wang, the left and right Gu Li Wang, the left and right generals, the left and right captains, the left and right big households, the left and right bone marquis, and so on, and so on, and the complete official system has begun to take shape.

He felt that this was important news, so he wrote a letter to inform Wu Shimu.

Naturally, I take this very seriously.

In the next three hundred years, the Northern Xiongnu moved westward during the Eastern Han Dynasty; After another 200 years, to the integration of the Southern Xiongnu ethnic groups in the Western Jin Dynasty and the Wuhu Chaos in China, and then to the complete disappearance of the Xiongnu at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Xiongnu slave regime founded by Mao Dun has been followed for more than 500 years, and the later Jin, Turkic, Khitan and so on have also largely inherited this slave state model.

When the sense of crisis hit, I immediately asked Qi Wan to call Zhang Han and Li Si over.

After sitting down, I said in a deep voice: "Li Xiang, has the Temple of the Son of Heaven been built in the past dynasties?" ”

Recently, there have been many major events, and I haven't paid much attention to the progress of the Temple of the Son of Heaven.

Li Si arched his hand and replied: "Your Majesty, the Temple of the Son of Heaven has been built. It was originally scheduled to be completed in early spring, but because of the delay in the renovation of Xianyang City, the golden body had entered the temple last month, and the road to Xianyang was not started for the time being because of the new city planning. The minister is trying to play His Majesty, when will the temple be opened? ”

I shook my head and commanded, "No hurry. You immediately ordered everyone in the Temple of the Son of Heaven to leave, and only said to the outside world that it had not yet been completed, and that everyone else in Shanglin Yuan was the same, except for Rewufang, all of them were cleared. At the same time, he ordered Ying to send 2,000 elite soldiers from the northern and southern armies to guard Shanglin Yuan. ”

Li Si was stunned and wondered: "Your Majesty, why is this?" ”

I picked up the secret letter from Wu Shimu and handed it to the two of them: "Look at it, Maudun's ambition has made it difficult for me to sleep!" ”

After reading it, the two of them skipped the matter of inducing Mao Dun to attack the Western Regions, I had already said that I had a plan, and it was definitely not this that made me uneasy. When they saw the reform of Maoton, although they did not know the great significance of this move to the Xiongnu in later generations, they could also feel that Maodun was extraordinary.

Zhang Han frowned: "The military system plays a great role in the combat effectiveness of the army. The reason why the Xiongnu were defeated by the Qin army before, their incomplete military system was one of the reasons, except for the commander of the ten thousand cavalry and the commander of the thousand cavalry, there were no grassroots lieutenants, and the commander of the ten thousand cavalry directly obeyed the orders of Shan Yu or the tribal leader, and fought for each other. Now that Maodun is restructured, it will greatly enhance the combat power of the Hun cavalry! ”

Li Si thought more, stroked the goatee and looked serious: "Not only that, Mao Dun is a combination of the military system and the national system, these virtuous kings, generals, captains, etc., can help him fight in wartime, and can effectively control various tribes in peacetime, which will help him deal with the affairs of the Xiongnu, this person is really not to be underestimated!" ”

I looked solemn and said slowly: "Yes, so I can't wait for the new army!" I had wanted to wait until the firearms were manufactured before training the new army, but now that the situation has changed, there is no room for delay. ”

He immediately instructed Zhang Han: "Zhang Han, you immediately select five thousand people from the Chaoyi battalion, and there is only one condition: you must be absolutely loyal!" After Li Xiang cleared Shanglin Yuan, he ordered them to be stationed in it secretly, and I wanted to train in Shanglin Yuan in person! ”

Zhang Han paused for a moment and admonished: "Your Majesty, the training is very hard, why should Your Majesty go in person?" Your Majesty just show it, and the ministers will do it with all their hearts! ”

I exhaled lightly and waved my hand: "Wu Jian's cavalry is all trained by you, it's not that I don't trust you, the new army is different from the past, and I can't rest assured if I don't watch it personally." The two of you will prepare as soon as possible, the generals of the new army will not be set up for the time being, I will be the generals myself, and when the training is successful, I will select the best of them as generals. ”

Li Si asked: "If Your Majesty leaves Xianyang Palace, how will the court meeting and the concerts be handled?" ”

"It's easy to do." I didn't hesitate: "I moved the Zhangtai Palace, and the court meeting was changed to the front hall of Zhangtai, once every five days, and I said to the outside world that the Xianyang Palace was stuffy, and I wanted to leave the palace to enjoy the coolness." ”

Li Si said yes. This reason is very normal, Zhangtai Palace is more luxurious and majestic than Xianyang Palace, since King Huiwen built Zhangtai Palace, there are often King Qin to go to the summer, drink and feast, but I have never been there since I ascended the throne.

"By the way, let Mrs. Ba go with you." I think of Tao Yao, she is bored in the palace, just to change the environment, and it is more convenient to meet Ba Ling.

Seeing the clear expressions of "I understand" on the two of them, I smiled and scolded: "What do you think!" Get down to business! ”

The two hurriedly said "don't dare" and retreated.

Looking at the backs of the two, I smiled and said, "Killing two birds with one stone, it's normal for people to do it." ”

Next to it: ......

————

In mid-June, somewhere in the valley of Shanglin Yuan.

Five thousand elite soldiers lined up neatly, and although I only made one request of absolute loyalty, Zhang Han still tried to select the most elite soldiers among them.

I walked slowly down from the podium, followed by Zhang Han and Wei Chi.

The phalanx of 5,000 people was no bigger than a football field, and when they reached the middle of the first row, they looked at the soldiers in front of them and asked, "What is your name?" What is the official position? ”

The soldier's face was dark, his figure was straight, although he was not strong, but he looked much stronger than ordinary soldiers, his expression was resolute, and he said loudly: "Two or five hundred masters, Wang Jin!" ”

"Do you know who I am?"

Wang Jin was stunned for a moment and glanced at Zhang Han, but Zhang Han was expressionless. Wang Jin held back for a long time, and responded: "The villain only knows that he is a general, but he doesn't know the general's name!" ”

I smiled slightly, faced everyone, pointed at Wang Jin, and shouted: "Put your weapons aside, take Wang Jin as the center, half an arm's length, and move closer to him!" ”

The crowd immediately took action, and the movement was swift, and in a short time they gathered, and the 5,000-person phalanx was also reduced from the size of a football field for daily practice to a phalanx about 40 meters long and wide.

"Listen to my orders, Wang Jin's row will report the numbers in turn!"

“1、2、3…… 70。 ”

"Okay, the first thirty-five rows take a step forward, and then turn back!"

After everyone did so, I hurried to the center.

"Sit down in the first ten rows!"

I thought that the crowd would be confused for a while, after all, I didn't ask them to count after turning around, but I didn't expect them to sit in the first row, and then the second row...... They sat down in turn.

I nodded with satisfaction, this was the first time I had commanded the Qin army, and their combat quality was beyond my expectations.

Seeing that the front row was seated, I patted the general's armor on my body and shouted: "Just now I asked Wang Jin if he knew me, and he said no!" It doesn't matter, you haven't seen me, and those who don't know are not guilty! But after I tell you, take it to heart! I am your Great Qin Emperor! Of the five thousand of you, I am still your general! ”
