When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

When the wine was finished, the guests left.

In the huge Yanyue Hall, only the people of Yan were left in it.

Many people exposed their chests and abdomens. After all, the wine of Yan State was white wine, and after drinking it for a long time, these old drunkards of Shang Dynasty were drunk to death.

As a result, the Yan people, who have experienced the baptism of white wine, are also quite satisfied.

"This group of people can drink a lot. But... uh um... anyway, that Zisong is really patient. He can keep silent even when this happened to him."

Shi Wu, who was accompanying the guests, said with a look of disdain.

He even looked down upon Zisong's timid appearance.

"Why are you thinking so much? We have managed to pay tribute again this time, but I always feel that they have bad intentions. There is a high probability that they will ask us to cooperate in the expedition."

On the other side, Si Chen spoke up, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "Otherwise, if we really stay behind them, they will also feel scared. If we stab them in the back at this time, they will be finished."

"Why do you want to stab them in the back? Can't we fight them head-on?" An elder named Yao on the other side propped up his chin and stared at the table in a daze. "Besides, we still have a lot of trouble in the west. The Tufang are still fighting with the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and it won't stop in the short term. We should take this opportunity to increase business with the Tufang. Especially Xianyu Xiaozhu, he has recently killed his way to Anyi and driven away all the local Ji clans of Zhou and Zhao. He is so brave and invincible!"

"Little Pig..." Xin Qu nodded, "I've heard about it too, but it seems he married someone with the surname Jiang. This is a bit tricky.

The Jiang family in the mountains was originally a major tribe in the West Qiang that the Shang people considered, which further complicated the overall composition of the earth. If we really go to war with the Shang people, who knows if it will cause the alliance to split.

After all, they just got married, and now there is a war, and there is no guarantee that Xianyu Xiaozhu will have to leave the battlefield. "

"Don't worry about that." Si Chen said with a smile, "According to the rules of various places, the purpose of marriage is to ensure that the bloodline is not cut off. Although Tufang may go to the battlefield, as long as Tuwangquan is still the master of the house, if Xianyu Xiaozhu insists on going to the battlefield, he will have to break away from Tufang and become independent.

This way, the local authorities won’t be able to control him.”

Xin Qu pondered for a while and roughly understood the meaning.

The Fang State was a more complex system than the clan, and the various clans under the Fang State were in an autonomous and semi-independent state.

Generally speaking, as long as the clan is not being invaded but is helping its in-laws, it is the clan’s own internal matter.

Only when there is a crisis of genocide will Fangguo come down to mediate because of their in-laws and blood ties, but he rarely helps directly.

Just like when Yin replaced Xia, each branch of the Xin clan had its own supporters, and they usually followed their chosen leader. But they would not carry out collective punishment, and the defeated would often be exiled with their entire clan or escape on their own.

Anyway, for the Middle-earth environment that has not been fully developed in this era, being away from the Central Plains means that it will be difficult for the ethnic groups to survive. In this way, if these tribes want to recover, they cannot pose a threat without hundreds of years or quietly running back to develop.

Just like the Xia clan in Southern Qiang today, they are actually descendants of Xia Hou clan, and the place where they live is also a remote place in the west compared to the Central Plains.

Moreover, they were contemptuously called Qiang people by the Shang clan.

When Xin Qu heard that the Tufang would not be directly involved in the battle, he thought for a while and said, "If it is inevitable to go south to join the expedition, then it is inevitable."

"You really want to go?" Shi Wu stared at Xin Qu with eyes wide open, "Then I'll go!"

"Yes! Qu, you can't go." Si Chen was also shocked and said quickly, "The army is always sick when they go on a long expedition. If something happens to you, our Yan State will be finished."

"Don't worry. Even if I want to go south, they won't agree."

Xin Qu said confidently: "It just so happens that we are going to search the mountains and hunt animals in the Mulan River northwest of Chengde to speed up the development. I invite them to go hunting together."

As he said that, Xin Qu looked at Shi Wu and said, "That's your territory as the general of the town, so you have to behave well."

"Haha! You said that! I will definitely get this done!"

Shi Wu patted his chest and made the promise.

"Yes. The Sima Mansion has also issued a notice, asking all Langjiang and Lieutenant Generals to rush to Mulan River to participate in this hunt. The winner will be promoted to General Zhenbei.

Then the second, third, fourth and fifth are the generals of the four towns of Andong, Anbei, Anxi and Annan.

It is time to expand the existing Yan State Overlord Mansion in advance. The border defense time of the four towns is almost over, and the four generals will be rotated. "

"Of course we can, but why is there no General Anzhong?" Shi Wu asked curiously.

"One town is enough." Xin Qu shook his head slightly. "The General's Mansion in the town is an extension of the Central Imperial Army. Later, the Central Imperial Army will be divided into twelve regiments with more complete arms, and will begin to practice the real large-scale combat style. There will definitely be a battle between us and Shang. Four expeditions and five towns, four peace and four settlements, four peace and four comforts, and twelve regiments, which means at least thirty-seven hegemony mansions.

Tell me, how many people do we need to support such a large family business?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyelids twitched.

"Okay. Send a letter to General Zhen Liao in a couple of days, telling him that he has been promoted and is now General Zhengdong. Have him start recruiting warriors from the northeast tribes to migrate inland.

Yan State, it is time to enter the next stage of military reform."

After Xin Qu gave his instructions, he stood up and left, staggering. He had drunk quite a bit of wine, and his tongue was a little swollen.

As soon as he left, everyone else stared at each other for a while.

"I think... Qu's ambition is too big! The specifications of thirty-seven Hegemony Palaces... and from what he said, they have to be rotated, which means that the personnel in each Hegemony Palace may be transferred to other places at any time due to the need for conquest."

"It's a bit anxious, but I can accept it after thinking about it. Who made these businessmen keep their eyes on us?"

"Too!"

"Okay, as long as the country can hold on, it's okay to worry about it. Don't worry about it."

"That won't do, listen to Qu's tone. In the future, the promotion channels between the central regiment camp and the local hegemony will be opened up. With so many similar hegemony numbers, it means that the army in the same direction will have six levels of hegemony: Zheng, Zhen, Ping, Ding, An, and Fu.

If there is a Hegemonic Prefecture every five hundred miles, the farthest of the six Hegemonic Prefectures would be two to three thousand miles away.

This doesn’t mean anything good!”

"Two or three thousand miles! How big a family business would it take to support that?"

Si Chen was shocked. He didn't even dare to imagine that the State of Yan would have a foundation of two or three thousand miles in the future.

Only Shi Wu made a bowl of fish soup and drank two sips before saying, "He has never done anything in vain."

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Yes! Xin Qu never shoots without a purpose.

This new round of adjustments also represents the attitude of the State of Yan.

Since the merchants wanted him to go south, he would strengthen the merchants in Dayi.

Even if he did not take action, Xin Qu would be able to determine the framework of the thirty-seven hegemony governments of Yan State for him.

I just don't know how many combat soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and civilian laborers a hegemonic government will arrange.

But it is undeniable that once it is implemented, a hegemonic government will need at least 440,000 people, even if it has 1,000 combat soldiers, 3,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 8,000 civilians.

Of course, at this stage it is more of a rotation framework, but Shi Wu, as the General of Bafu, is very clear that the training plan for his Zhenzhong General's Mansion is different from others, because his Zhenzhong General's Mansion is a pilot training unit.

There are about 500 elite soldiers who receive full-time training every year.

And each of these five hundred people can lead a team of about thirty people.

In other words, these five hundred people are an officer corps, plus the other elite troops who rotate in, in three years, there will be at least a thousand people.

This means that at least one hegemonic government can easily lead a military team of tens of thousands of conscripts.

This time, Xinqu made a systematic division of the titles of General Bafu, which meant that in Xinqu's mind, in order to complete the control of two or three thousand miles, at least more than 300,000 people would be needed.

The subsequent search and elimination of beasts in the Mulan River, in addition to strengthening the Zhenzhong General's Office's thorough control over the northern foothills of Yanshan Mountain, was also to open the eyes of the new batch of generals who had grown up in advance and let them get familiar with the Zhenzhong Bafu training system that was about to be promoted.

As I said, Xin Qu never does anything without preparation.

Originally, this plan might be delayed for two years before implementation, but the South is pressing for it, so let the South see how terrifying the Yan State is when it fully explodes! (End of this chapter)
