Prime Minister's Office, Secretary and Supervisor. Zhang Xun carefully reviewed the edict on military reform that was about to be announced to the world word by word, and confirmed that there was no error in a word, and then submitted it to Gongsun Changming, the secretary of the inner house, and after Gongsun Changming reviewed it again, it was then submitted to Prime Minister Li Ze to finally sign and reprint and then report to the world.

At this moment, no one has yet realized the great role of this inconspicuous little secretary and supervisor in the future imperial court, and in the eyes of almost everyone, this secretary and supervisor is nothing more than a staff organization that sends down and helps to make ideas on behalf of others.

There are only nine secretaries and supervisors with Gongsun Changming. Gongsun Changming is the secretary order, Zhang Xun is the deputy order, and the following nine young secretaries are carefully selected by Gongsun Changming, and then they can only step into this threshold after Li Ze's personal assessment.

All the official documents, reports, and memorabilia submitted to the Prime Minister's Office are first submitted to the secretary and supervisor, and then these people will screen the priorities, draft the handling opinions, and then submit them to the higher authorities.

These nine people are of very low rank, but the power in their hands is quite large, and they are typically lowly and powerful.

The new military reform system was finally released after fierce discussions and even debates between the Ministry of War, the representatives of the 12 Guards Army, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and Li Ze himself.

The real controversy is actually Han Qi's struggle to fight for more rights and interests for the military department. The opinions put forward by others are just trying to compete for some right to speak for the departments they represent.

After several days of closed-door meetings, coordination and compromise with each other, the final military reform finally reached the current version.

The government military system was abolished, the military household system was abolished, and the conscription system was replaced by a military recruitment system. In the past, the Tang Dynasty was based on peasant households, and set up Zhechong Mansions all over the country to manage military households, and each Zhichong Prefecture had about 1,000 to 4,000 soldiers, and maintained one-third of the people in service all year round. And these people in service, basically, rarely perform military tasks, more often, but for the officials, as the officials' miscellaneous work, and the government has to pay for it, although in wartime, the Ochichong Prefecture can mobilize more troops in a very short period of time, but these armies, collectively known as the government soldiers, are too far behind the guards in terms of combat effectiveness.

The abolition of government soldiers can not only save a lot of money on top of military spending, but also greatly promote the development of people's livelihood through these idle labor forces.

The army of the Tang Dynasty, after the abolition of the government military system, there is only one kind left, that is, the guards.

Li Ze organized all the troops into twelve guards.

Left and right Xiaowei, left and right Wuwei, left and right Weiwei, left and right Jinwu Wei, left and right leading the army guard, left and right Qianniu Wei.

The highest military commander of the Twelve Guards is called the Great General, and naturally Li Ze holds the position. The highest commander of each guard is a general, ranging from the third rank to the fifth rank, that is, the generals of each guard may have a large gap in rank, but in the ministry, it is exactly the same.

Under the generals, there are Zhonglang generals, left and right Lang generals, record to join the army, Bing Cao to join the army, Cang Cao to join the army, Cavalry Cao to join the army, and Xuan Cao to join the army. The establishment of the army, ten people, set up a chief, each tithe ten ding, the chief is the lieutenant of the accompaniment; There are even groups on the side, each group receives five tithes, and the leader of the gang is the captain of the school; Set up a team, each team leads three groups, the captain is called the team, and the team is the deputy lieutenant or lieutenant of Renyong; There are five teams in each battalion, and the battalion officer is the captain or lieutenant; There are brigades on the battalions, and each brigade has three battalions, and the brigade commander is the captain or lieutenant of Xuanjie; Above the brigade commander, there is the general of the guard, and there are ten brigades for each guard. In addition to these soldiers, each guard also has a logistics auxiliary unit, including field warfare.

In this way, the establishment of each guard and horse is basically more than 20,000. Depending on the location where each guard is stationed and the tasks it faces, the number of guards and horses varies from 20,000 to 30,000.

The Ministry of War is responsible for the approval of the personnel of the army and horses, but the officers above the rank of general of the army are nominated by the prime minister and approved by the emperor, and the appointment of officers below the sixth rank is nominated by the Ministry of War, but they need to pass the review of the Ministry of Officials.

Every year, the military department submits a budget for the army's equipment, submits it to the household department for examination, and then allocates the funds to the military department, which then issues an order to the general supervisor, and the general supervisor makes it himself or purchases it from outside.

The payment of military salaries is directly allocated to the guards by the household department in accordance with the approved staffing establishment.

In this way, the entire operation of the armed forces will almost become a circle, supervising and restraining each other, and any question that arises in any link will affect the overall operation of the armed forces.

The introduction of a conscription system, stipulating that those over the age of 16 and under the age of 40 can sign up for the army, and after passing the assessment, they can become a Tang guard. Each guard is not allowed to recruit troops on its own, and reports to the military department every year according to the actual situation of the troops, and according to the establishment of the department, the military department recruits troops in a unified manner, and after recruitment, it is first organized into a team and has undergone more than half a year of training, and then it is supplemented to each guard according to the needs of each department. This policy is not a big deal for Li Ze's lineage, but for Xue Ping's lineage, the problem is not small. The base camp of their rule is in Hedong, and their forces are also in Hedong, if a large number of soldiers from the former Wuwei jurisdiction appear among the troops under their control, it can be said that there are many hidden dangers. And the unified dispatch of officers is also facing this problem. Therefore, they can only hope that Han Qi, the secretary of the military department, can minimize this impact.

A retirement system for soldiers was introduced, and the pensions and benefits of soldiers who died and were disabled due to their age were officially issued in official documents.

A system for the promotion and dismissal of officers has been introduced. Soldiers serve in a three-year cycle, and after each three-year service, they are automatically promoted to one level. In other words, if an ordinary soldier has served for nine years, he will receive a salary almost the same as that of a lieutenant, but in essence, he is still a soldier. And the promotion of officers, in addition to seniority, naturally depends on military merits. Combat exploits are not only limited to the gains on the battlefield, but also the conditions for promotion, including logistical support, have been stipulated in detail. Without corresponding meritorious service, one cannot be promoted, and this system excludes cronyism or gangsterism in the military as much as possible.

After a series of system documents were formed, the next step was naturally the main event, the leading general of the Twelve Guards. In this era, anyone has profoundly understood this sentence, Li Ze can come to this point today, in the final analysis, he is still invincible and invincible in his Wuwei army.

Qin Zhao led Zuo Xiaowei, Zheng Sanpin, stationed in Dizhou.

Liu Chenglin led the right Xiaowei, was the third product, and was stationed in Mozhou.

Li Cunzhong led Zuo Wuwei, Zheng Sipin, stationed in Taiyuan.

Zhang Jia led the right military guard, was the fourth product, and was stationed in Shuozhou.

Tu Lichun led Zuo Weiwei, who was stationed in the river.

Shi Zhuang led the right guard, was the fourth product, and was stationed in Luzhou.

Xue Chong led Zuo Jin Wuwei, from Sipin, stationed in Zhuozhou.

Tian Ping led the right Jin Wuwei, from Sipin, stationed in Weizhou.

Min Rou led the left army to lead the guard, from Sanpin, stationed in Yizhou.

Shen Congxing led the right army, was Wupin, and was stationed in Cangzhou.

Wang Sili led Zuo Qianniuwei, Zheng Sanpin, stationed in Zhenzhou.

Liu Ruyan led the right Qianniuwei and stationed in Wuyi.

The twelve guards were divided, Qin Zhao's Zuo Xiaowei and Li Cunzhong's Zuo Wuwei belonged to the royalist party, Xue Chong's Zuo Jin Wuwei and Tian Ping's Right Jin Wuwei were considered centrists, but they were biased towards Li Ze, and the other seven guards were all controlled by Li Ze's cronies, and the other Zhang Jia, although he was not Li Ze's cronies, had a deep grudge with Han Qi, Li Cunzhong and others, and he did not hesitate to sit on Li Ze's side in terms of political positions.

On top of military power, Li Ze undoubtedly has the absolute upper hand.

Among the twelve guards, except for the Qianniu Guard, which was responsible for the emperor and the civil and military officials, as well as the garrison of Wuyi Zhenzhou and other places, the remaining ten guards were all classified as field troops.

The original prison guards were directly removed from the ranks of the armed forces by Li Ze and directly listed as a special department, although they will also have a certain amount of armed force, but on the whole, they are not on the table. In addition, Li Ze did not have the existence of internal guards who were made public at all, and the power and role of the prison guards had been greatly weakened.

After the political reform and military reform, Li Ze actually has overall control of the entire situation, although Li Cunzhong and Qin Zhao each have a guard, but they have received too many elbows, even if Li Cunzhong's department is still stationed in Hedong, but he can't recruit troops by himself, he can't collect grain and grass by himself, everything depends on the allocation of the imperial court, and he has been tied hand and foot, and the original subordinate states in Hedong, although they are still officials arranged by themselves, but if they want to help Li Cunzhong's army in private, they must first be able to transfer the Ministry of Household Review This pass, In the context of a game of financial chess, the household department that was already staring at them with wide eyes was worried that they could not find a way to find their trouble?

In addition to the account opening department, there is also the review of the supervision organs, which is a shackle for them, and these laws are also a minefield, and if any of them are violated, Li Ze has a legitimate reason to take them down and replace them with his own people.

When an army's food, grass, salary, and equipment are firmly controlled, there are actually very few things he can do. Even if he wanted to rebel, there would not be many people willing to follow him, because everyone knew that the prospect of doing so seemed extremely slim. The benefits are small and the risks are extremely high.

What's more, under Li Ze's military system, the soldiers' income is extremely high, at least, much higher than their previous income. In the past, I was a soldier to make ends meet, but now I am a soldier, but I can support my family.
