Chapter 101: The Great Rectification Army

After asking about the money and grain, Liu Chengyou's eyes fell directly on Shang Hongqian and Guo Wei.

The two glanced at each other, Shang Hongqian took the lead, a little preemptively speaking, and bowed to Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, the triumphant forbidden army has been returned to its battalion, and in order to compassionate the soldiers, the guard department has begun to arrange for the soldiers to return to their hometowns on vacation in batches." For the merits of the soldiers in this battle, the promotion or demotion of military ranks, and the approval of the officials, in order to issue a chapter to discuss the ......"

His eyes wandered around Shang Hongqian and Guo Wei twice, according to what he heard, between the two, during the time he was away from Beijing, because of the disposal of Huainan military affairs, there were many disputes, and even made trouble with the Queen Mother, and the Li family came forward to appease him.

The weight of the guard division, even Shang Hongqian, who has always been known for his "low-key and modesty", has been banned for a long time, and it is inevitable that some changes will occur.

"Your Majesty, the general's combat exploits, from the conscription officer, have been reported to the Privy Council!" Guo Wei also came out in a timely manner.

At such times, as the head of the Privy Council, when it is time to fight for it, it must not be left behind.

"Erqing is loyal to his ministry, and I am very relieved!" Liu Chengyou's tone was friendly, his shrewd eyes flickered a few times, and fell on Wang Jun, who had re-ascended to the court, and said: "Wang Qing returned to the army with me, the counselor of the aircraft, and he is also familiar with the military situation. ”

"Yes!" Wang Jun went out directly, looking brave to do anything.

To put it mildly, he resolved the dispute between the two ministers, and by the way, he spoke for Wang Jun. At the same time, Wang Jun is now a privy deputy envoy. Strengthening the authority of the Privy Council is what Liu Chengyou has been doing all along, and he has allowed the Privy Council to participate in the affairs of the forbidden army several times, but the effect is still difficult to satisfy Liu Chengyou. Compared with the Guard Division, which directly coordinates all affairs, it is still much weaker.

Especially when Shang Hongqian, the forbidden commander, began to become stronger...... Although he was not surprised by Shang Hongqian's changes, after all, from the beginning, he did not completely underestimate this mediocre person, and always maintained a little vigilance.

Of course, no matter who is in the position of the commander, Liu Chengyou will be wary, and being an emperor in this era is the most basic quality. Otherwise, just wait for something to go wrong. In fact, it has been proved that the military leaders of this era have absolutely no so-called "sheep", and when Shang Hongqian's position is secured, he is unwilling to be lonely.

At this time, listening to Liu Chengyou's judgment and disposal, Shang Hongqian's honest face was slightly clouded, blinked his eyes, and soon stopped showing his emotions and lowered his head slightly.

Guo Wei was thoughtful, and quickly regained his composure, made a salute, and said yes.

After sitting for a long time, Liu Chengyou got up and paced in front of the ministers, and after some activity, he raised his hand and said solemnly: "In this western expedition, although the counterinsurgency was smooth, Li Cheng was able to be annihilated, but in my opinion, the counterinsurgency battle, the forbidden army exposed too many problems. ”

"Among the armies, the quality of the soldiers is different, the combat strength is uneven, the appearance of the army is not in order, the ability of the generals and military officials is not high, and the military discipline still needs to be strengthened......."

One issue after another was brought to the palace by Liu Chengyou, and this was the first time he expressed his dissatisfaction with the army issue in public. And with his narration, the atmosphere in the hall became obviously more serious, surprisingly quiet, and below, Shang Hongqian's face finally became ugly, there are so many problems in the forbidden army, isn't it just that he, the commander of the forbidden army, did not bring good soldiers.

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, although the first emperor issued an edict to carry out the reorganization, at that time, the forbidden army was established, and the national situation was confined to the Hedong army, the forbidden army of the former dynasty, the righteous army, and the state and town soldiers were mixed into an army, and there was no Dali. The accumulation of shortcomings has not been changed, and the delay has had a serious impact on the combat strength of the forbidden army! The army is not in order, how can I defend the community and resist the foreign invaders! ”

"The Tokyo Forbidden Army, when it holds the weight of the country, has reached the point where it has to be forcefully rectified."

Speaking of this, Liu Chengyou has walked back to the throne, brushed his sleeves and sat upright, and said categorically: "In order to strengthen the army and strengthen the country, I have decided to set up a palace front division in addition to the guard department, and select strong people from the forbidden army, prefectures, towns, and people to fill it." The guards also began to reorganize, re-establish the military number, reorganize the military system, select the strong and strong, and eliminate the old and weak......"

As Liu Chengyou's voice fell, there was no martial arts in the palace, and they were all discolored. In the words of the Son of Heaven, the amount of confidence is not small, this is not only to reorganize the army, but also to rebuild the entire forbidden army.

Su Yuqi, Feng Dao, Zhao Ying and other ministers were not so excited, but they still showed a somewhat conservative demeanor towards the big move of the Son of Heaven. After all, just listening to its brief description, you can see that the stakes are huge.

And Shang Hongqian and other military ministers, as well as civil officials such as Guo Wei and Wang Jun, who were born in military ministers, are also contemplative. The brains are spinning wildly in the shortest possible time, calculating the pros and cons.

The whole army of the guard division was reorganized, and a new palace division was established, and the willingness to divide powers and checks and balances was too obvious......

The space in the vertical arch hall is not very large, so many people have been gathered together for so long, the atmosphere is more and more depressing, and the air is obviously a lot more turbid. Liu Chengyou instructed the chamberlain to open the doors and windows wide, let the cold autumn wind blow in, breathe in the ministers, and wake up their minds......

Stirred by the cool breeze, Shang Hongqian, who was tightly browning, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said to Liu Chengyou in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the officers and men of the army have become accustomed to today's training situation, and they have changed it rashly, and I am afraid that the army's heart will be turbulent. If Your Majesty wants to rectify the forbidden army, you can slowly figure it out, if you are in such a hurry, if there is chaos, it will not be beautiful! This matter, let's discuss it again, be careful! ”

In Shang Hongqian's words, twists and turns, it means disagree. In this regard, Liu Chengyou was not stunned, but looked enlightened.

"Shang Qing's words are reasonable!" Liu Chengyou said with a calm face: "If you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be successful, and if you are poor, you will be able to do it for a long time." Since ancient times, there is no one who will remain unchanged and can last forever. I knew that I should be cautious and impatient in the reorganization and training of the forbidden army, so I summoned the secretaries to discuss a specific rectification charter. ”

Liu Chengyou's attitude is also very clear, and what he discussed is the specific rectification measures, not whether to rectify or not.

"Guo Qing, what do you think?" Liu Chengyou set his eyes on Guo Wei.

Guo Wei was sitting in a precarious position, meditating hard, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes to meet Liu Chengyou's gaze, and on that generous face, people couldn't look at anything. The action of getting up seemed very slow, and he secretly thought about it for a while, and then said: "Improving the combat strength of the forbidden army is beneficial to the country, and it should be implemented." However, this matter must be urgent, it needs to be considered thoroughly, leave enough time, and the specific handling needs to be done prudently...... For example, the old and weak soldiers who have been laid off need to be properly resettled, so as not to hurt the morale of the army! ”

Guo Wei has directly detailed the specific measures here, and his attitude can be seen from this.

"Guo Qing is really a person who does things!" Listening to his words, he was extremely satisfied with Guo Wei's superiority, Liu Chengyou immediately praised it, and said a little "excitedly": "In this case, the Privy Council and the Department of Guards will jointly agree on the statute, and I will transfer the generals at all levels to assist in case of consultation!" ”

Seeing the appearance of this monarch and ministers singing and harmonizing, Shang Hongqian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before the words came out, Wang Jun had already spoken first: "The army is not strong, how can it be strong, and the matter of reorganization should be done." However, the court had to prepare money and food. ”

"I don't know what His Majesty said about the front division of the palace, how to structure?"
