Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 42

The soldiers of the Western Zhou army were all served by Chinese people (slave owners and civilians in the capital and its surroundings), and slaves could only serve miscellaneous duties with the army.

The largest organization of the Zhou royal army is the division!

"Zhou Li·Xia Guan" stated: "Where an army is commanded, there are [-] people in the army, the king's six armies, the three armies of the big country, the second army of the second country, and the first army of the small country. All the generals are appointed ministers."

There are five hundred people in two thousand as teachers, and the teachers and commanders are all doctors.Five hundred people are the brigade, and the commanders of the brigade are all doctors.

Hundreds of soldiers are soldiers, and all the leaders of the soldiers are sergeants.

Twenty-five people are two, and both Sima are sergeants.

Five people form a team, and each team has a leader.

Looking at it this way, the military system of the Zhou royal family is successively divided into six levels: army, division, brigade, pawn, two, and five!

Qingji decided to reform Wu's military establishment, and there were seven levels.

From low to high, the order is: Wuchang, Shichang, Zuchang, Duwei, Xiaowei, Zhonglang general, and general.

Five people form a team, with a team leader;
Ten people make one assemblage, set as long as it is;
Fifty people make up a pawn, and set up a pawn leader;
A hundred people make a capital, and set up a captain;
Five hundred people make up a school, with a school lieutenant;
A thousand people make up a division, and there is a Zhonglang general;

[-] people form an army, and there are generals.

In terms of the position of general, Qingji also specially set up "four towns" and "four expeditions", increasing the rank of governor, and above the general is the great Sima, which belongs to the jurisdiction of King Wu!

At this moment, above the court, the ministers and officials could not help trembling with fear when they heard Sun Wu's announcement of the decrees and provisions for reforming the official system and the military system.

Qingji is determined to carry out the New Deal in Wu!
Reforming the official system and the military system is only the first step, and what follows is probably an even stronger storm!

Leaving aside the military system, wouldn't Qingji appoint and dismiss ministers at will in the future regarding the official system?

This makes the officials and officials who have been sheltered by the shadow of their ancestors can't help but feel fear.

Among them, there are quite a few people who don't deserve virtue, or who don't deserve it.

Once Qingji really invites all talented people from all over the world to join Wu and let them get their own positions, how can they live in peace?

However, Qingji doesn't care about these things.

If it weren't for the principle of gradual progress, Qingji would have gone a step further and promulgated more new policies one by one!

……

Wu Guo, Yunyang.

City gate!
At this moment, people wearing all kinds of clothes are gathered here, crowded and crowded.

I saw that on one side of the city gate, a notice had been pasted up, and there were two soldiers in strong coats and a small official standing on the left and right.

Seeing the notice that suddenly appeared, passers-by couldn't help coming over, feeling puzzled.

"What does the notice say?"

"It should be about state affairs."

"This is the Order of Seeking Talents. The king of Wu promulgated it to the world, inviting scholars from all over the world to enter Wu to carry out the New Deal!"

The people in the audience were all talking about the contents of this notice.

Among them, there are many merchants who travel to and from various countries, there are also scholars who travel around various countries to seek knowledge, and there are many illiterate traffickers.

All kinds of people looked at the notice and pointed.

Since Qingji knew that most of the people in the state of Wu could not read a single Chinese character, he specially ordered an official to read it out next to each notice!
The little official coughed lightly, then turned to the people in the audience and said in a clear voice: "Second and third sons, fellow villagers and elders, this notice is an order issued by the king to seek talents in the world!"

"The content is as follows: Wu inherited Zhou's order, starting in Jianghan, from Taibo to the present, and Wu Xiangzuo has more than six hundred years."

"I am grateful to my ancestors who ran to Jingman in the past, broke their hair and tattoos, and the road was not easy. To the first king of Shoumeng, Zhu Fan, Yu Ji, and Yu Mei, all brothers and sisters, sang for the world, and my father Wang Liao, all of them The opening of later generations is very beautiful!"

"There is an unfilial son, Sun Guang, who stabs the king, kills the king and usurps the throne, and brings up the palace wall. It is ugly."

"A king who has been appointed and revived since ancient times, can't you imagine that a sage and gentleman can rule the world with him?"

"It's a good thing to get a virtuous person. I have never been out of Luxiang. How lucky to meet you? The superior is asking for the ear!"

"The second and third sons are my assistants who are bright and humble. Don't ask about their backgrounds. They are only talented. If there is an elder with a skill, I will use it!"

After reading out the contents of the notice, the official used plain Chinese to inform the people one by one.

Under Qingji's instruction, all cities and towns in the Wu Kingdom posted up such decrees of seeking talents, and passed them on word of mouth to the world!

As far away as Wandi in the state of Chu, many scholars learned about the order of seeking talents in the state of Wu.

At this moment, by a remote and secluded lake, two luxuriously dressed young men with extraordinary equipment are fishing.

"Uncle Shao, I heard that Wu Guoxin Wang Qingji is very thirsty for talents, and he has issued an order to seek talents. If there are seniors with skills, they can be reused."

"You have the talent to manage the world, you can lead the army when you are on horseback, and you can rule the government when you enter the court. If you offer good strategies for governing the country to the King of Wu, you will definitely be reused, and you will show your ambitions in the Kingdom of Wu!"

After the young man on the left side caught a carp, he smiled and looked at his best friend beside him.

The young man named Shao Bo was noncommittal, and said slowly: "Since ancient times, there have been many kings seeking talents, but how many people can be as good as Cheng Tang, King Wen of Zhou, Duke Huan of Qi, and Duke Wen of Jin?"

"Hahahaha! Shaobo, you are still too arrogant."

The young man shook his head and said: "In ancient times, there are no more virtuous monarchs than Cheng Tang and King Wen of Zhou. In ancient times, there are no more overlords than Duke Huan of Qi Xiaobai and Duke Wen of Jin Chong Er!"

"However, how many people are Yi Yin and Jiang Shang? How many people are Guan Zhong and Zhao Shuai?"

Hearing this, Shao Bo was not annoyed, he just smiled lightly and said, "Ziqin, do you think I think highly of myself?"

"It's not."

Ziqin sighed and said, "How can I not know about your talent? It's a pity that my vast Chu is full of villains sitting on top of temples and playing tricks, so that people can't make the best use of their talents and things!"

"Chu is not an aristocrat and cannot be an official. It really buried your talent, Shaobo."

"Since the king of Wu has the heart to seek talents, why doesn't the young uncle enter Wu and help him achieve hegemony, so that he can leave his name in history and sing it for future generations!"

Hearing this, Shao Bo pondered for a moment, then said: "Ziqin, I know you are doing it for my own good. However, how do I know whether the King of Wu is really seeking talents, or is he pretending to seek talents?"

"Or, King Wu doesn't have the courage to reform to enrich the country and strengthen the army?"

"Uncle Shao, you have misjudged King Wu!"

After throwing the fishhook into the lake, Ziqin said loudly: "I heard that the king of Wu intends to carry out a new policy, and the state of Wu has now reformed the official system and military system, in order to recruit Wu's talented talents, each to get his own position, and each to make the best of his talents. .”

"Such a king of Wu, how can Shao Bo say that he does not have the courage that the king of Zhongxing should have?"

"Besides, the King of Wu is indeed thirsty for talent. It is said that in order to seek talented people from all over the world to enter Wu, the King of Wu also built a recruiting platform in Xianghu Lake outside the capital of Wu, also known as the Golden Platform, because there are two hundred and fifty yi of gold on it. Five thousand taels), for the wise to share."

"King Wu also set up a recruiting hall on the side of the palace city. The size of the house is the same as that of a palace. It is specially provided for the residence of Wu scholars. The daily meals are the same as those of Doctor Qing!"

"Both the Golden Platform and Recruitment Hall were built under the personal supervision of the King of Wu, and there is no room for carelessness. It also shows his sincerity in seeking talents!"
