Chapter 172: Calling the King

Three days later, heavy snow fell in Daijun, Yanmen, Yunzhong, Shanggu and other places, but fortunately, the day before the heavy snow fell, the families of the soldiers in the large battalion outside the city had already moved to live in tents in the city.

Although it is the same tent, there is still a considerable difference between inside and outside the city. Because the camp outside the city is temporarily built, and the tent side in the city is built according to the standard of long-term use, whether it is solidity or comfort, the concubine is greatly enhanced, and it is a double-layer felt used, built-in ground kang, so it is also very safe, plus after all, there are many people in the city, the wind is small, and the materials are abundant, so you can spend this winter safely.

Although things are complicated, they can only be planned one by one, but fortunately, after Sima Shang led the army to Hongshangsai, he found that the Qin army currently has no intention of attacking the north, and now that it is snowing heavily, it is even more impossible for the Qin army to launch an attack on Daijun, which also makes the plateau greatly relieved, because of the threat from the south, it can be put aside for the time being. You can also free up your hands first and solve the matter in front of you.

After a few days of consideration, the plateau first reorganized the army, and preliminarily drew up a plan, according to the plateau's plan, the establishment of the army is still the same fifty establishments common among the nations, with five people as a team and one army commander; Ten people are one tithe, and one chief is set up; Five tithes are one uncle, and one uncle is set up; The second uncle is a team of 100 people, with a centurion; The 500-man team is a 500-man guard, and there is a guard commander; Two 500 guards are a team of 1,000 people, and there is a commander of 1,000 people. The 500 guards and 1,000 troops will be the most basic units of the army.

The 5,000-strong team is an army, with the number of the army, and one general, two deputy generals, and two generals; An army is a regular unit of the army. Both infantry and cavalry armies are organized according to this organization. Then two or three more corps formed a corps and were responsible for fighting independently.

In addition, the army establishment of the Mandarin Duck Formation trained on the plateau is slightly different from other armies, because a Mandarin Duck Formation team is composed of fifteen soldiers, but in the previous battles, one of the biggest weaknesses of the Mandarin Duck Formation was also exposed, that is, these fifteen soldiers were an overall combat system, as long as two or three people were missing, the entire system would collapse.

Therefore, Gao Yuan also decided to set up five reserve and logistics soldiers in each Mandarin Duck Formation squad, expand to 20 people, set up a captain, the rank is above the chief, below the rank of the chief, five squads are a hundred-man team, and there is still a centurion; Later, the 500 guards and 1,000 troops were still the same as other formations.

The number of armies and legions, as well as other chariots, large tools, etc., need to be decided together with everyone. Therefore, Gao Yuan also made a special trip to recruit Sima Shang back from Hongshangsai, after all, the reorganization of the army is a major event, and now Sima Shang is the number one general of the army, of course, we must listen to his opinion.

That knew that he didn't wait for the plateau to gather everyone to discuss, Sima Shang, Ning Qi, Zhao Xuan, Yuan Xuan, Chen Shi, Ji Fengsun and others came to see the plateau together, but when Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong invited everyone to the inner hall, after everyone sat down, everyone looked at each other again, and seemed to have something to say, but no one was embarrassed to speak first.

Gao Yuan also felt a little strange, and said with a smile: "Everyone came to see me together, is there anything wrong?" You might as well say it, right or wrong, everyone can discuss and discuss, is there anything bad to say? ”

At this time, Sima Shang got up and said, "Lord, let me tell you, in my opinion, it is the top priority now, not to reorganize the army, but that the lord should first claim the throne, and then talk about other things." ”

After he finished speaking, Ning Qi also got up and said: "Yes, the lord, if the name is not right, it is not good, now the Zhao country has perished, and the dragons have no leader, so the lord can only be called the king first, so that he can justifiably recruit troops in the Daijun and resist the Qin army, not to mention anything else, what is the name of our army, whether it is called Zhao Jun or Daijun, only the lord is called the king, can it be determined." ”

And everyone else also spoke, and it was all Jianyì Plateau who first claimed the king, and then discussed other matters.

Gao Yuan was also stunned, everyone's opinion was indeed something he didn't expect, because in Gao Yuan's view, "king" is just a name for himself, he doesn't call himself the king, in fact, he is the current ruler of the county, Gao Yuan is a person who attaches importance to the actual effect, and does not care about the name, so during this time, he only considers the establishment of the army, the administration of the county and other affairs, and he has never thought about calling the king or not.

But the construction of the people is not unreasonable, although it seems ridiculous in later generations, but in this era, the name is also a very important thing, Li Mu is autonomous in the county, but in the name of the subordinate of the Zhao State, and Li Mu also has a title of Wu Anjun, and has his own fief and private army, in a certain sense, it can also be regarded as a small candidate. And now there are formal head streets on the plateau, and they are still Zhao Guofeng's doctors. It is indeed unreasonable to use the name of the doctor to call Zhaodai County, still to Yunzhong, Yanmen, Shanggu and other counties.

And the plateau is the king, but also involves a problem, that is, the official position of this group of people under the plateau, now the territory of the plateau is small, but it is also a small regime, then within this regime, it will naturally be divided into three, six, nine and so on, if the name of the plateau is uncertain, how should the official positions of other people be formulated, for example, Sima Shang's official position in Zhao is Xiaqing, one level higher than the plateau, how should this account be calculated. This is like a small boss of a leather bag company in later generations, but he has to be named a chairman, general manager and the like.

In addition, in the future, the highland regime will definitely have diplomatic relations with other countries, and there will be a diplomatic reciprocal relationship, and the envoys of the plateau regime will go to other countries in what name.

Therefore, Gao Yuan pondered for a while, and then said: "Now to be the king, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, although now that the Zhou family is dead, everyone can be called the king, but now we only have one place in the county, the radius is only hundreds of miles, and the population is less than one million. I think even if he is king, he will have to wait until after the recovery of Handan in the future, what do you see? ”

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, the others all looked at each other, and Ning Qi said: "The lord's words are also reasonable, I think the matter of claiming the king can be postponed, but if the lord does not visit, he can wait in the county first, and then recover Handan, and after the territory is expanded, it is not too late to claim the king." ”

After listening to Ning Qi's words, everyone also agreed, after all, the strength of the plateau control is only equivalent to a medium candidate country, which is called the king's words, it is indeed a bit funny, and the wait is a retreat to seek the truth, Hou and the king are only one level apart, and they are generally equal, because in addition to Zhou Tianxiao, the other kings and Hou are not considered the co-masters of the world, and they are still just candidate countries, but they are better in name, in fact, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu State, Wu State, and Yue State have all been called kings, But it is also on an equal footing with other candidate countries. Moreover, according to the standard of the Zhou Chamber, the candidate countries are regarded as the superior candidate countries by 100 li, the middle candidate countries by 70 li, and the inferior candidate countries by 50 li, so the plateau is completely sufficient to be called the standard of the princes.

Gao Yuan was silent for a moment before he said: "Actually, the title and title of the king are just different in name, and the essence is the same, but have you thought about it, once I am called the candidate or the king, how will the Qin State treat us." The forest is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it; Heaps out of the shore, and the flow will be turbulent; Walk above men, and the crowd will not. Therefore, if I am called king, it is very likely that Qin will immediately send troops to replace the county, with our current strength, there is no one or two years of preparation time, it is difficult for Qin to contend with it, on the contrary, if I do not call us king, Qin may not be worried, and temporarily focus on other countries, we can also get some time to prepare. What's more, in order to compete for a momentary fame, push yourself to the top of the wind? I have nine words to tell you that we will all act according to these nine words for a long time to come. After a pause, Gao Yuan said: "Build a high city, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king." ”

After everyone listened, they all looked at each other, everyone's face showed a surprised expression, on the one hand, the statement of the plateau, is indeed reasonable, everyone does only take into account their own internal situation, and ignore the international environment, although it is now an era of etiquette collapse, but no country will welcome to see another king come, once the plateau is really called the king, the wait, I am afraid that not only the Qin State, other candidate countries may not agree.

On the other hand, Gao Yuan is still able to keep a clear head and make a very rational distinction between gains and losses, which is indeed a very rare thing for such a young man.

Gao Yuan said: "But we really need a proper name now, and we can't do it like this, otherwise it will not be good for our future development, which I really ignore, so you are right to remind you." After a pause, Gao Yuan said again: "But now we are not easy to be called kings, and we should be called kings first." The general's previous title was Wu Anjun, and we are all the remnants of the general, so I thought we could call Wu Anjun first, and our army could be called Wu Anjun. To each his own mind. ”

After all, being called a king can be regarded as a small candidate, and it doesn't seem so dazzling, and Wu Anjun is Li Mu's title, and Gao Yuan is Li Mu's son-in-law, so calling Wu Anjun not only has the meaning of succeeding Li Mu. It is not only in line with the current identity of the plateau, but also very helpful in winning the hearts and minds of the military and the people of the current Daijun.
