A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 79 Strategic changes, White power

All the existing Bai family members of the Bai family gathered together. This was an office meeting requested by the head of the family.

Bai Zheng was sitting in the chair, closing his eyes and concentrating. He just held the meeting, and then Bai Wei was free to do whatever he wanted.

When Bai Wei saw everyone gathered, he said: "Nowadays, there are constant disputes in the world. Countries are expanding their lands wantonly. The prestige of the Zhou royal family has dropped to a historical low. The common people in the world only know that they are from Bai, Qi, Qin, and Chu." Chinese people, and no longer call themselves Zhou people.

What does this mean? This means that the time has come for our Bai family to rise. Our ancestors originally wanted to try to expand outside the country, but were blocked by the remaining power of the Zhou royal family. As a result, a hundred years of isolation caused the Bai country to be content with the status quo and unwilling to make progress.

Fortunately, with the addition of Mo Sect, the situation of Bai Kingdom is now much better. Under the influence of Mohism, more than half of the people want Bai Kingdom to contribute more to the world. Public opinion is raging, can we stop it?
So I think we, the White Kingdom, should regain our strength as soon as possible and join the chaos in the world. The history of the White Kingdom tells us that it is completely wrong to be blindly closed. We have suffered a crisis, and we must learn from it! I'd like to hear your opinions on this. "

The children of the public family fell into deep thought after hearing Bai Wei's words, but the elderly Bai family members, like Bai Zheng, closed their eyes and rested, completely showing that they did not want to participate in the discussion.

Because the role of their existence is to drive and take care of the young Bai Shizi, instead of participating in the whole process. After all, their bodies and energy do not allow it. They have all retired from various positions and are now holding idle positions. Such as the master of the Bai family academy, the lecturer of the academy, the master of the specialized research hall, the master of the speculative field, the master of the library pavilion, etc.

These young Bai family members are the backbone of various positions in the Bai family and the Bai Kingdom, such as the head of the family law hall, the head of the prison hall, supervisors, the chief of the shadow guard, the inner guard, the lecturer of the academy, the Mohists, the Confucianists, and the officials of various Guanyi. Changhe Yishou.

There were more than forty people in the entire office meeting, which were the core strengths of the Bai family that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

Some of the Bai clan, who were deeply influenced by Mohism, immediately spoke out in support, but there was also a Bai clan who was influenced by Confucianism and said: "Young Master, what you said is correct, but I am worried that after our Bai clan starts to compete for hegemony, we will be attacked by groups. "

Bai Wei smiled and said: "Don't worry, now all the countries in the world are trying to clear their doors, and whoever poses the greatest threat to them will unite. However, our country, Bai, has been quiet for more than two hundred years, and its reputation is unparalleled in the world." He is no longer as famous as he was before.

The reason why we were blocked back in the beginning was because of the suppression of the Zhou royal family. The prestige of my ancestors of the Bai family in wiping out Dongyi was too great, which caused all the countries in the world to use rat weapons. Nowadays, the power of the princes surnamed Ji has almost been lost.

Look at the big countries in the world today. How many princes have the surname Ji? Aren’t they all with foreign surnames? The Qin State has the surname Ying and the Zhao family; the Chu State has the surname Mi and the Xiong family; the Jin State has been controlled by the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han, and I think it is not far from destruction.

The Lu family of Jiang in Qi was also suppressed by the Tian family, and is expected to follow in the footsteps of Jin. The Tian family has the surname of Gui, Tian. And my country, Bai, let alone the surname Si. Do you need me to say anything more about Yan State? Isn't this a good time to spread our family name to the world? "

Most of the public servants were persuaded by Bai Wei, but some of them didn't care. Whatever the head of the family said was whatever he said. If the head of the house didn't object, then he would agree. So after Bai Wei unified the thoughts of the public servants, he convened a meeting of clan elders.

Among the nine clan elders in the clan elders meeting, four are from the official clan, one each is from Bai Zheng and Bai Wei, and five are from the public clan, among which one is from the Hei clan, who is the staunch supporter of the clan leader. So it was easy to pass the Bai Kingdom and prepare to participate in world affairs.

After unifying the thoughts of the clan elders, Bai Wei also held a clan meeting. The participants of the clan meeting were the children of the clan and the clan. The several public clans had no objections even with the consent of all nine clan elders. In this way, Bai Wei reached the last step, the Baifu Council.

The White House Council is composed of representatives of the princes, princes, ministers, and people of the Bai Kingdom. It covers almost all institutions and prestigious people in the Bai Kingdom, including the family ministers in charge of the political affairs of the Bai Kingdom, and the military affairs of the Bai Kingdom. The family generals and others such as the Family Law Hall, the Prison Hall, the Special Research Hall, the Bai Family Academy, the Library Pavilion, the Taiyuan Yishou, the Shadow Guard, the Bai Zhanwei, the Bai Mo Mo Shou, the Bai Confucian scholar, etc.

With the approval of most people, Bai Wei quickly adopted the strategy of outward development, requiring all departments to take action, the army to expand, training to be concentrated, the people to be appeased, and the Shadow Guard's intelligence to be prepared. , the public opinion of the White House must also be well prepared.

The 390st year of the Bai Kingdom ( BC)
Bai Guo has determined the policy of striving for hegemony, but due to the influence of Bai Guo's domestic doctrine, Bai Guo has great restrictions on its actions. It cannot launch an unjust war, otherwise, the Bai family will be sprayed to death by domestic saliva.

Bai Wei convened the main officials of the Bai Kingdom in the council hall to discuss how to integrate domestic resources. The chief minister stood up first and said: "According to statistics, the registered population of our Bai Kingdom is more than 1.5 million, which is equivalent to a quarter of the population of Jin." One third of Qi’s population.”

The general then said: "Our Baiguo army, excluding the garrison garrison at each pass, can muster up to 100,000 troops. These 100,000 are standing troops, not migrant troops from various countries who serve as soldiers in time of war and work for the people.

However, because there has been no war for many years, the armaments are lax and the combat power has declined sharply. According to my estimation, it is only a little better than the migrant soldiers. Compared with the elite soldiers of various countries, there is a big gap. The only people who can defeat the elite soldiers of various countries are the direct subordinates of the family head. The three thousand white scorpions guarded. "

Bai Wei asked again: "How is the financial strength of our country?"

The family leader continued: "According to the development of our country in the past few hundred years, domestic resources have been almost exhausted. If we fully expand our army, we can support the daily expenses of an army of 300,000 people. If we go on an expedition, we can only Provide a year's expenses of 150,000 yuan." Bai Wei asked again: "How many cities are there in the country?"

The family chief said: "One for the big city, three for the town of Taiyuan, three for the middle city, and thirty for the small town."

Bai Wei nodded to express his understanding, and then ordered:
"In order to better manage domestic affairs, I decided to follow the example of other countries to implement a county system. The country is divided into three counties, with Taiyuan County as the center. Tainan County is at the southern foot of Taihang Mountain, Zhongshan County is in the middle, and Taibei County is in the north. Sheriff, county magistrate.

A county has approximately ten counties under its jurisdiction. Each county has a township, a pavilion in the countryside, and a township magistrate and pavilion chief. Taiyuan County is under the direct jurisdiction of the Bai Mansion. The county magistrate and county magistrate are appointed by the Bai Mansion. The following townships and pavilions are decided by the county magistrate and magistrate themselves and then reported to the Bai Mansion for approval. Taiyuan County is at the same level as the three counties.

At the same time, the Baifu is the highest government office of the Baiguo. The Baifu has set up a family chief and a general to be in charge of political and military affairs. The family law hall was then divided into three parts. One part remained in the Bai family as the family law hall, one part was merged into the Bai family for judicial purposes, and the other part was merged into the army for military law. Establish a Si Xue to take charge of the schools in each county and county, excluding the Bai Academy.

The Sikou was established to be in charge of domestic arrests and bandits. In view of the fact that the bandits were entrenched on the hills and difficult to eradicate, the Sikou was allowed to recruit 300 civilian bandits to exclusively exterminate the bandits.

Sitian was established to take charge of domestic land rent, taxation and farmland planting. A division of labor was established to take charge of the various industries in the country. Establish a treasurer to take charge of the property in the country. The housekeeper is responsible for commanding the above-mentioned departments.

The chief officer of each department is called a doctor, such as a judicial doctor, a Sikou doctor, etc. Office workers are called officials. "

The housekeeper obeys orders.

Bai Wei said to the general again: "As for the army, we will maintain the number of 100,000, but we have ordered that it must be drilled as soon as possible. I will go to the military camp every month to check. The army commander with the worst strength who does not meet my requirements will be removed from his post, and the soldiers will order Retire from the army. After you continue to live, those who should be persuaded to retire will be persuaded to retire, and those who should be recruited will be recruited.

Establish a military law assistant to be responsible for the implementation and supervision of military law. Establish an arsenal to take charge of the storage of armaments. Establish a military craftsman's assistant to be in charge of armaments production. Establish a military horse assistant to take charge of the feeding of war horses. Establish a military assistant to take charge of the roster and all other chores. Establish a military medical assistant to take charge of battlefield rescue. Establish a military meritorious service to take charge of records of soldiers' military exploits.

The chief officer of the military law assistant is the military law Sima, the chief officer of the military treasury is the military treasury Sima, the chief military craftsman assistant is the great military craftsman, the chief officer of the military horse assistant is the army Sima, the chief officer of the military medical assistant is the military doctor Sima, and the chief officer of the military merit assistant is the military merit Sima. Military assistants are divided into military assistants, middle military assistants, and upper military assistants, who assist generals, lieutenant generals, and superior generals respectively.

The army of the Bai Kingdom consists of five men, with a captain; ten men, with a captain; fifty men, a garrison, with a garrison commander; a hundred men, a pawn, with a centurion; five hundred men, a corps, with a commander; a thousand men, the subordinates. An army has generals; ten thousand people make up the middle army, and there are lieutenant generals; one hundred thousand people make up the upper army, and there are upper generals.

Now there are only 100,000 troops in the country, so you can act as general for the time being!
In addition, I will use brass to cast the bear talisman and the tiger talisman, divide them into two halves, and be controlled by me and the military chief respectively. Only when the two halves of the talisman fit together can the army be mobilized. To mobilize an army of more than 500 people, you must have a tiger talisman, and for a White Guard with more than 100 people, you must have a bear talisman. "

The family general and the chief of the White Guards obeyed the orders.

Bai Wei said: "Now that the responsibilities are clear, I will give you three months to set up institutions and reorganize the army. After three months, I will go down to inspect. Those who do not do a good job will be dismissed from their posts on the spot."

Everyone came out and clasped their hands and said: "I will obey the order of the young master."

Soon, the big machine of the Bai Kingdom gradually began to operate, and a large amount of funds were invested. Hundreds of years later, the sight of the Bai Kingdom people once again spread beyond the Taihang Mountains.

Three hundred and eighty-three years of the Bai Kingdom
Qin attacked Shu and captured Nanzheng. Duke Hui of Qin passed away and his son succeeded him.

Three hundred and eighty-four years of the Bai Kingdom
Tian He of the State of Qi wrote to the Emperor of Zhou, requesting that he be canonized as a prince. The Emperor of Zhou agreed, so the Tian family became a prince of the State of Qi. At the same time, Tian He moved Duke Kang of Qi to the seaside.

In the same year, Zhao's son Chao rebelled but failed and fled to Wei. Zhao State began to designate Handan as its capital.

In four years, everything has been prepared in the Bai Kingdom. Just waiting for an opportunity, the Bai Kingdom will be like a bear descending from the mountain, and the wind roars all over the world.
-
The Bai Kingdom is located in the Taihang Mountains. Since it has not expanded for hundreds of years, the Bai Kingdom has almost become the state of the Jin Kingdom. However, the Jin Kingdom does not have the strength to defeat the Bai Kingdom, so the Jin Kingdom's territory is as if someone has taken a bite from the southeast. .

When the three families of Zhao, Wei, and Han were divided into Jin, they were ennobled as vassals by the Zhou royal family. To the east and south of the Bai Kingdom were the Wei Kingdom, to the west was South Korea, and to the north was the Zhao Kingdom.
