Zhiyao made a lot of preparations before leaving "Xintian".
First, a list was drawn up. Most of the people on it were the fathers of Zhiyao's chosen team, and about 30% were young men in their twenties.
They are the candidates Zhiyao wants to fill in for various positions after clearing out a group of people.
Now is the Spring and Autumn Period. There are actually very few official positions. If it is not a state unit, it is usually a variety of "Zao" and "Xu". The former is a minor official, and the latter is an official.
Zhiyao did not apply for the official position of "Yi Zai", mainly because he was really young, and even if he wanted to reach out, he had to know how to measure it. If he really reached out for the official position of city lord like "Yi Zai", it would have evolved to a large extent.
To the point of going too far and not doing enough.
In fact, it is like that. If you don’t know how to be decent, someone will naturally help you and give you dignity when the time comes. So, you must master the principle of “enough is enough” in whatever you do!
Traveling far away in the winter is quite troublesome.
In the Jin Kingdom this winter, every family is very busy. They are busy issuing recruitment orders and preparing supplies for the war.
It took Zhiyao a full month to arrive at "Father Huang". The first thing he did when he arrived was to take over military power.
The Zhi family's private army, which had a "division" in "Huangfu", assembled early and was on standby. The army did not choose to settle in the city, but chose a place to station outside the city.
The earth is covered with silver, and the branches and leaves of various trees are also covered with a layer of white snow, making most of the scenery look white except for gray, and it is extremely difficult to see other colors.
It is not appropriate to summon a large army in the winter. No family would do it unless necessary. In addition to the cold temperature easily making soldiers sick, the daily consumption of supplies is also far more than in other seasons.
For the Zhi family, it is very fortunate that there was no recruitment last year. No matter whether they were vassal nobles or "scholars" and "disciples", their quotas were not paid. Those who were summoned had to bring their own weapons, food and other resources.
Come and be at your disposal.
At the level of "Xian", they usually play the role of both soldiers and farmers. After being recruited, the master will definitely arm them, and the logistics will also be provided by the master.
In fact, for vassal nobles, "scholars" and "disciples", they are more willing to pay taxes than to pay taxes.
To pay taxes is to hand over money, grain, cloth and other resources to the owner, which is equivalent to saying that if you pay it, you will pay it. Anyway, there will be no such thing as "tax rebate".
The gift is different. They spend all the resources on themselves, and they can gain something from going to war. Maybe they can make money instead of losing money, and it will be even more wonderful to be promoted in class.
So what's going on? That is, if you are not summoned, the vassal nobles, "scholars" and "disciples" need to pay taxes, but if you are summoned, you must pay a tax (called a blood tax in Western parlance).
Zhiyao met "Shi (basic-level officers)" and "Brigade Commander (Brigade Commander)" and "Shuai (Division Commander)" at all levels, including "Ben Jia Wu (private army instructor)" and "Si Ge Dun", "
"Si Bing", "Si Chang", "Si Drum", "Si Gong Ya", "Er Cha", and "Jian" are all to be seen.
"Si Ge Dun" is responsible for managing the armor, Ge and shields of the army.
"Sibing" is responsible for replenishing soldiers for organizations that lack military resources.
"Si Chang" is responsible for keeping the battle flag.
"Sigu" manages various war drums and gold utensils (the so-called gold utensils here refer to the bronze drums that are beaten when retreating).
The "Gongs and Arrows" store and maintain bows of various tensions and arrows of various types.
"二车" is the person who manages the chariot, and usually performs maintenance and repairs.
"Correctors" belong to instructors with a higher level than "Honjiawu", and especially have staff authority. In general, they execute and supervise the generals' on-the-fly orders for formation changes during wartime. Since they have the authority to supervise formations on the spot, they also have their own
Guards.
In addition to her own list of positions to be replaced at all levels, Zhiyao also has a list of people who need to be cleaned up from Zhisong.
"Uncle." The person Zhiyao was speaking to was named Cheng Shuo. He was his uncle in terms of seniority, but he had already passed the fifth level.
The Cheng family was also one of the small sects of the Xun family, but there was once a man named Cheng Hua in the Cheng family who carried out Luan Shu's order to kill the king. After that, the Cheng family completely declined. Not only did they lose their fiefdom, but the family also completely declined.
.
"I came here this time to kill." Zhiyao did not hide it. Cheng Shuo, as the 'coach', must be dealt with in order to kill some officers in the army without causing chaos in the army.
Cheng Shuo showed a stunned expression, and then asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?"
This is a good sign!
Representative Cheng Shuo is one of the people in Lao Zhi’s family who supports Zhiyao’s rise to power.
However, Cheng Shuo asked again: "Is there an order to hold it?"
This is also very procedural.
Even if Cheng Shuo continued to support Zhiyao and attacked the military personnel without the order of the family leader, it would not be an exaggeration to define it as rebellion.
Cheng Shuo first asked who to kill, which meant he would carry out the execution, and then asked if there was an order from the family master. This was purely because he was mentally prepared to help Zhiyao take the blame.
"Of course there is." Zhiyao was happy in her heart, but her expression was serious. She took out the token given by Zhizhuo, but did not take out the list.
The national level has its own token and "section". Generally, the level of "section" is higher than the level of token.
Each family also has its own token. "Jie" is not enough for identity and cannot be used. Tokens are bronze medals, which are the highest level and have their own patterns. They are often printed on ink pads as a seal.
Is there a "seal"? Yes! It is just a "national weapon" and cannot be held by non-princes.
Cheng Shuo assumed a posture of obeying orders.
Zhiyao did not waste any time, read out some names, and said: "Please Shuai transfer two brigade to Yao."
The account is Cheng Shuo's account, and all the utensils that should represent power are there.
Cheng Shuo still didn't ask Zhiyao what he wanted to do, and directly gave him the command flags and command arrows for mobilizing troops.
In fact, it is a small wooden pole with a triangular surface, a kind of small flag.
With the command flag, it must be paired with a command arrow made of copper to complete the procedure.
As for documents, there are none in the current era anyway. All orders are given orally. As a result, once the command flags and command arrows are stolen, it is easy to falsely pass on military orders.
It is precisely because of this that Lord Xinling of the Wei State can attack Wei's army as long as he steals the talisman. (Stealing the talisman to save Zhao)
Cheng Shuo used his identity as "handsome" to summon some people.
These people were taken down after they arrived. They reacted in any way. Generally speaking, they just didn't understand the situation.
Zhiyao did not commit any "secret room murders". All the people who needed to be arrested were captured. The army that should be sent out to ransack the houses had already set off. After calculating the time, he assembled the army. He read the crimes of those people in person, and then killed each owl one by one.
Hang your head on the gate of the military camp to show the public.
What happened suddenly surprised many people. After listening to what Zhiyao said, they knew that the old Zhi family was going to start rectifying the internal affairs.
Of course those who are loyal to the old wise family are happy!
A family that allows its subordinates to enjoy themselves and poach others at will will not have a bright future and will only disappoint some people who are loyal to the family.
More people saw that it was Zhiyao who was in charge of doing those things, and they received the signal. After Zhishen, Zhiyao will be in charge.
Some ambitious people are simply overjoyed. They know who the future head of the family will be early. If they get closer before they have the status of heir, does it mean that there will be more opportunities?
