Orange Grove Pavilion, Liu Bei and Guan Yu stayed here overnight.

A long-term conversation on the future will also be held here, which is a question of the framework for the final finalization of the Han military system.

The future military system and division of military power are in the hands of Tian Xin, and now they are in the hands of Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

The military system determines the priority of the government in the future, whether the general is higher than the prime minister, or the general is higher than the general.

The reason for the various coups that broke out after Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty was that there was no stable and justifiable prime minister's office to govern the country.

Therefore, relatives and eunuchs constantly fought for power around the emperor, and the scholars were angry at two ends of it...... No matter who wins the relatives or eunuchs, there will always be a part of the scholars who will be purged.

For a long time, the gentry were naturally dissatisfied with this pattern, and it is understandable that there was a mood of resistance.

This kind of protest led to the first and second party rebellion incidents, and also detonated the protest sentiment of the scholars, who were unwilling to endure this pattern anymore, and tried to reform and cut off the lives of their relatives and eunuchs.

There is nothing to discuss about the number of the military system, there will probably be eleven standing armies, the forbidden army, the guard army, the five armies, and the Quartet army in the nature of the border army.

If two more standing armies are to be added, it may be two fleets of coastal divisions to maintain thirteen standing armies.

After the war subsides, in addition to the government soldiers, the remaining armies will definitely be downsized, following the example of the five school battalions of the Northern Army as a frame division, and only one-third of the establishment will be maintained.

In other words, for example, the 42 battalions of the former army may be reduced to 14 battalions after the war, and each battalion will be reduced to one-third, but in fact there are only five battalions of more than 4,000 people.

As a supplement, the county soldiers and guards recruited by the county lieutenant took turns to serve in the forbidden army, the guards, and the five armies; When mobilized, fill the frame with county soldiers.

The military system and mobilization system are closer to those of the early Han Dynasty...... This is a matter that everyone has a bottom line.

The only uncertain, and most sensitive, key point for a possible coup d'état is the way in which these eleven armies are distributed.

The Sanke family brought its own Beifu, the former army, and the right army; Liu Bei now holds the Central Army, the Rear Army, the Guard Army, and the Xifu in his hands, and Ma Chao holds the Left Army in his hands.

It is also necessary to establish three branches, namely the Nanfu, the Dongfu and the Forbidden Army.

The forbidden army was formed when Liu Bei returned to Chengdu, and the forbidden army system was also ready-made, that is, the five school battalions of the Northern Army, and the eight battalions of Huben, Yulin Left and Right Supervisors.

How important Kyoto is, the guards are only responsible for the periphery of the garrison, and the inner capital and even the city gate cannot be handed over to the guards, and the city gate captain must be set up to be in charge.

The forbidden army is stationed to assist in defense, each palace has a palace order, the palace gate has Sima, the door marquis, and each pavilion in the capital area has a pavilion chief to maintain law and order.

The forbidden army and the guard army have their own priorities, and do not participate in the security and sentry work of the capital.

The formation of the forbidden army is Liu Bei's own land, so the formation of the southern and eastern mansions needs to be discussed together.

After these 11 standing units are thoroughly established, it is also necessary to formulate a bottom line on how to maintain the internal balance of military power.

This is not Liu Bei and Guan Yu's utopia, but a precedent to follow...... The Jin of the three families is divided into Jin, and the six secretaries of the Jin State take turns to hold power, and the foundation of the six secretaries is the six armies.

Take this as a lesson to optimize the balance of military power within the Han army.

The so-called equilibrium is to avoid the dominance of one family...... That is, to avoid the dominance of Tian Xin's family.

With Tian Xin's merits and prestige, he can abide by this bottom line, and the heirs of the Sanke family can only obey it.

In the future, military power is destined to be firmly controlled in the hands of military nobles, which is something that has been destined when the Sanke family was established.

Unless there is a defeat of Tumubao that collides with various coincidences, the Sanke family and the large and small military meritorious marquis families will go forward from generation to generation, and they will be able to firmly control the military power.

This also means that the three public positions of general, great Sima, and Taiwei will fall into the hands of military nobles.

Correspondingly, the position of prime minister is not easy to fight for.

But who knows what the future holds?

After Zhuge Liang, without Tian Xin's approval, who can sit firmly in the phase?

At that time, no matter who is the prime minister, it will be no different from Tian Xin himself being the prime minister.

Therefore, there is no need to restrict the development path of military nobles and generals, as long as the balance of military power is maintained, then after many problems arise, all parties can sit down and discuss and solve them, instead of using force and arrogance to solve them.

So, how many troops can you control in the future to have a sense of security? In the future, how many armies will other generals have in their hands so that they can think of harm and not succeed?

The oil lamp in the longhouse was dim, and Guan Yu did not react on one side, like a notary of oath.

Liu Bei was not in a hurry, and let Tian Xin think about this problem.

There are eleven wargames on the table, symbolizing the future power of the army.

The most difficult thing in the world is trust, and if this trust can be passed on, the benefits to the four families are too many.

Only when we have similar strengths and common goals can we maintain cooperation and trust.

Therefore, when the eleven armies are in charge in the future, any one family can only control three at most, including the Son of Heaven clan.

The forbidden army, the guards, and the security forces of the capital are the emperor and the Liu family.

The three Ke families each guaranteed an army, the four families took five, and there were six left.

The Chinese army should be placed in the capital, as the direct command of the previous generals, holding the Chinese army, the generals can also maintain their prestige.

If there are virtuous people in the Liu family and the clan who can be a great general or a general of the Quartet, then the Liu family will reach the theoretical upper limit and can master three armies.

The four government soldiers, as long as they lay down the Guanzhong, these numbers will fall into the hands of the Sanke family, so in the future, the fundamental descendants of the Sanke family will be the government soldiers.

However, one of the four government soldiers is in a crippled state, that is, the Nanfu soldiers, which are the government soldiers that will be set up to solve the Nanzhong problem.

The first generation of candidates has been selected, that is, the former deputy general Xia Houlan.

After Xiahoulan and Ma Chao finished fighting Guangzhou and Yuzhang, it happened to be the time for them to train their own barbarian soldiers, and Xiahoulan would lead his descendants and this barbarian army to Bajun to stand by.

The name of this army may be Binh Nam, or Annam, or Zhennan.

After Yongzhen Yunnan and Guizhou in Nanfu, this army will only become a local garrison and have the least influence on the government.

His Beifu soldiers will also be divided into two, and those who are willing to go to Guanzhong with him will go to the Chencang area to camp the army, and change their numbers with Wei Yan, and change their numbers to change the Xifu.

Beifu may be stationed in Yanmen and Yunzhong in the future, which is the power of the Zhang family.

Dongfu is naturally the Guan family, and it will be in the land of Wuyue in the future.

The government soldiers are on all sides, and Guangzhou and Jiaozhou still lack a Nanyang Fubo army; There is still a lack of a Beiyang horizontal navy in the East China Sea and North Korea.

These six armies are certain to death, and the forbidden army, the guard army, and the central army are also limited, and only the four armies are free to move, and each family can compete with these four armies.

Therefore, theoretically, the Liu family has at most control of the forbidden army, the guard army, and any of the five armies; The Sanke family is a government soldier, a Quartet army, and a Chinese army exclusive to the general, which is also three.

When thinking about this issue, Zhao Gongma Chao has almost no sense of existence.

There are too many talents in the world, and when the world is unified, the four families can work together to hold the military power; As far as the Ma family is now in a state of inadequacy, it is difficult for Ma Chao's left army to be smoothly passed on to his son.

What's more, the Quartet Army is mobile, and Ma Dai and Ma Cheng can be current generals and rear generals, but they can no longer be left generals.

Tian Xin pondered his words and replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is appropriate for the army to be no more than three. ”

As for the establishment of the Beiyang Heng Navy and the Nanyang Fubo Army, there is no need to talk to Liu Bei in detail.

Attaching importance to the army, Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who only stayed at the level of sailors and river transportation, naturally did not know how much overseas profits the Heng Navy and Fubo Army could create.

Fubo general Zhao Lei was destined to favor the Guan family; It's good to find a way to get a horizontal navy by yourself.
