Chapter 114: March Duration

Of course, it is very important to reorganize the army, how to reorganize it, and how to organize it, especially the formal establishment of the front division of the palace, which almost determines the situation in which the two yashi stand side by side in the future, and at the same time, the Privy Council is based on the power of side control and refutation, which is Liu Chengyou's ultimate intention of the reorganization of the army.

Of course, as far as the forbidden generals are concerned, what they care more about is their own gains and losses in this process. Such a large-scale reorganization naturally represents a tremendous change and adjustment in military ranks. The most important thing is to make personnel arrangements for the reorganization of the army at present.

After Wang Jun reported the situation of the current Tokyo Forbidden Army, and the reorganization plans of each army were also described, Sun Li, Ma Quanyi and other generals who had doubts were also explained by them. For a time, in the Privy Council, Wang Jun became the protagonist.

When his narration was finished and the attention of civil and military affairs was focused on him, the emperor, Liu Chengyou opened his golden mouth: "I am very satisfied with the plan for the whole army." ”

After a pause, he looked around, his eyes were bright, and he said solemnly: "I emphasize again, the matter of reorganizing the army is imperative, and there is no objection to it, and the patrol must not be postponed." All the gentlemen are generals and commanders in the army, for the family and the country, for the soldiers and soldiers, they should be brave in doing things, understand the intentions, and appease people's hearts! I encourage you all! ”

"Yes!" No matter what he thinks in his heart, in the face of Liu Chengyou's words, he actively expresses his position.

"It's still the same sentence, the matter of reorganizing the army should be steadily implemented in accordance with the regulations, and the soldiers who are eliminated should be comforted and properly resettled!" Liu Chengyou's tone was aggravated: "Three months!" Within three months, the whole army plan will be preliminarily completed! ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, three months is enough!" It's Wang Jun again, standing up, very confident.

Liu Chengyou paid a little attention to Guo Wei's expression, and he couldn't see anything unusual, that is, he let Wang Jun completely represent the opinion of the Privy Council.

Nodding calmly, Liu Chengyou said solemnly: "Regarding the generals in front of the palace, I intend to set up a commander in front of the palace, a deputy commander and a marquis of Yu, and the rank is the same as that of the guard generals, with the guard Ma Bujun commanding Shang Qing as the palace marshal, and the deputy commander of the guards Li Hongxin as the deputy commander of the palace, responsible for the formation of the palace front division!" ”

Transferring the current first and second leaders of the guard division to the front division of the palace is Liu Chengyou's "appeasement" of the generals headed by Shang Hongqian.

And listen to its arrangement, two people, two reactions, two expressions. Li Hongxin was stunned with puzzlement, according to his expectations, the front division of the palace and the head of the guards, he always had to be the head of a yamen, and there was a great opportunity, he never thought that Liu Chengyou would make such an arrangement. Li Hongxin estimates that it is difficult to figure out that if he is in the army, he can only be the second child for the rest of his life.

Shang Hongqian was a little surprised, and his face was happy. After all, according to the plan, the newly established armies in front of the palace, after the successful training, will gather the elite of the forbidden army, and then select the strongest men in the world, which will be the most powerful force of the Han Dynasty.

"The minister will do his best to repay Your Majesty!" Seeing the benefits, Shang Hongqian behaved so positively for the first time.

reacted to it, and Liu Chengyou looked indifferent. He is not at all worried about "temporarily entrusting" the front division of the temple in the hands of this person, just look at the composition of the front division of the palace.

The inner hall is straight, although there are not many troops, but the commander is Li Chongju, who is Liu Chengyou's guard. The newly formed army after the founding of the Han Dynasty was previously the first army of guards, but after the Western Expedition, the middle and upper levels will be rectified, and the two senior generals Zhou Hui and Wu Qianyu have also been transferred out, and now they have basically been completely subdued by Liu Chengyou. As for the Longqi Army, needless to mention, this is the team that Liu Chengyou started, and it is trustworthy at any time.

If Shang Hongqian really has high enough political wisdom, he will find that the transfer of the guards is instead out of the "foundation", and the position of the palace marshal is not so easy to do.

The transfer of the squire made it more convenient for Liu Chengyou to transform and adjust the guards. Although Liu Chengyou wants to gather the elite of the forbidden army to create an army in front of the palace, it does not mean that the guards will be abolished, he wants the two armies to balance it. The guards in the target are still huge, and the tens of thousands of forbidden troops stationed abroad must be counted, and after the elimination of the old and weak, the combat power should also become stronger.

For these more in-depth considerations, looking at Shang Hongqian's appearance, he obviously didn't realize it.

Retracting his gaze, Liu Chengyou continued: "As for the Guards Division, Bai Wenke, the envoy of the Xuanhui North Courtyard, is the commander of the guards, and Li Hongjian is deployed in front of the palace as the commander of the deputy guards!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Uncle Li Hongjian stood up and answered, and he was slightly happy.

The appointment of Li Hongjian can be regarded as a reward for his efforts in quelling the rebellion in the west, although this uncle, from beginning to end, is not too brilliant.

"The rest of the military transfer arrangements will be reported by the Privy Council!" Liu Chengyou made the last and most important arrangement, and swept everyone with embarrassed eyes: "This time the whole army, Guo Qing will coordinate its affairs!" ”

"Yes!"

Under this fate, Wang Jun's face couldn't help but change, he was doing the preparation of the pre-charter, but it was not him who was "in charge", how could he be willing. However, dissatisfaction can only be temporary.

Listening to Liu Chengyou's arrangement, there are many civil and military forces below, and there are no objections. Guo Wei looked thoughtful, but instead of being excited about the appointment, his face was solemn.

This time, Liu Chengyou's rectification of the forbidden army is much larger than that of Guo Rong's reorganization of the army in the official history, and it needs to be carried out with prestige.

Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei, and the rest are no ......

As for worrying that Guo Wei would take the opportunity to expand his influence in the forbidden army and form a party to seize power, Liu Chengyou will take precautions, but not too much.

First, Liu Chengyou emphasized more that the role of the Privy Council in the reorganization of the army, and Guo Wei represented the authority of the Privy Council; Both, in addition to strengthening the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, this large-scale reorganization of the army was originally intended to weaken the power of the guard generals, and instead enhance the control and influence of him, the emperor, on the forbidden army.

......

After the imperial meeting, Liu Chengyou's rectification of the forbidden army was officially launched. The various armies of the Tokyo Forbidden Army were changed in turn.

For the formation of the armies in front of the palace, Liu Chengyou really dug up the corners of the guard division, and based on the three armies of the inner hall, Xiaodi, and Longqi, a large number of brave officers and soldiers of other armies were assigned to the front of the palace. Among the young officers, Gao Huaide, Li Chongjin, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang Yongde and others were among them. In the process of quelling the rebellion in the river in the west, the promotion and demotion of meritorious officers were reflected in the whole army.

As for the remaining guard armies, Liu Chengyou allocated a group of reliable sergeants from the Longqi and Xiaodi armies to enrich the formation of the newly organized four armies, namely the Protector Sheng, Fengguo, Xingjie, and Wujie, and took the opportunity to promote a group of middle- and lower-level officers with insufficient qualifications.

The rectification involving more than 100,000 people is, of course, a huge and complicated project, but since it was started, it has been like boarding a galloping carriage, and it has vowed not to stop until it has achieved its goal.

In this process, Liu Chengyou of course bowed to his relatives and asked, and every once in a while, he had to personally inspect the old and new armies, soothe the hearts of the army, and show his sense of existence.

Of course, it is inevitable that a cadre of soldiers who have been demoted and eliminated will not give up easily. Due to Liu Chengyou's strict monitoring of the army, some people who gathered to make trouble were all captured and quickly extinguished.

In view of this, for the old and weak under the layoff, Liu Chengyou mainly arranged three places. One is the auxiliary soldiers of the forbidden army, which is the proper duty, and the treatment is halved; the second is the Gyeonggi County Patrol Inspector; 3. Place it in the local area, and allow it to return home, as a township official.

At the same time, in response to the soldiers of the forbidden army, Liu Chengyou introduced a new policy of awarding military merits......

With a multi-pronged approach, under the strict control of Liu Chengyou and Guo Wei and other generals, the military reform of the Han Forbidden Army was carried out in an orderly manner as Liu Chengyou expected, although there were inevitable twists and turns, but the overall situation was stable.

For this reason, Liu Chengyou did not toss in other aspects at all during this period of time, just to create a stable environment for the whole army.

Even, the funeral ceremony of Gaozu Liu Zhiyuan was delayed.

At the beginning of October, Yang reported that the "Rui Tomb" was finally built, and Liu Zhiyuan's body was still lying in the ice room in the palace.
