The Privy Council existed in the Tang Dynasty, but its duty was not to be responsible for the military, but to accept the courtiers and the Quartet and announce the emperor's order, which was held by eunuchs and was not permanent, so it was not taboo for Huainan to establish the Privy Council.

After listening to Yang Wu's proposal, everyone present nodded one after another, separating the right to command the army and the persuasion of the transfer of troops is not Yang Wu's initiative, this point has actually existed since ancient times, in the early Tang Dynasty, the Zhichong Mansion was the basic organizational unit of the government soldiers, responsible for the daily management of the government soldiers; The dispatch and command of government soldiers belonged to the imperial court. According to the regulations, all those who send more than 50 troops, except for emergencies, must have the emperor's "book" and bronze fish talisman issued by Shangshu Province and Menxia Province.

It's just that in the later era of the flood of festivals, there were many things for the generals in charge of the troops in various places to send troops on their own without authorization, and they couldn't manage it at all.

All Yang Wu has to do is to re-establish the system that has been destroyed.

"Then, the next thing is the issue of the specific army establishment, at present there is a chaotic situation in the establishment of our Huainan army, I plan to make adjustments, the preliminary plan is to establish the establishment of the army-division-guard-capital-battalion-team, the specific situation is that every 100 people are a team, and the team is set up; Five teams are a battalion, with a total of 500 people, and the camp is set up; The two battalions are one capital, with a total of 1,000 people, and the head of the capital is set up; The five capitals are one guard, with a total of 5,000 people, and there are commanders; The two guards are a division, with a total of 10,000 people, and the capital is commanded; The two divisions are an army, with a total of 20,000 men, and there is a governor; The corps is the largest establishment unit. ”

Yang Wu looked at everyone: "Do you have any comments on this arrangement?" ”

Several scribes didn't know much about military affairs, so they weren't silent after hearing this, and several generals were also carefully considering the power of it because they involved their own vital interests, and no one answered for a while, and the living room seemed a little quiet.

The main advantage of Yang Wu's establishment plan is that the official ranks are clear, and it is clear at a glance how many soldiers a general can lead in what position, unlike before, he is also a commander, some can command thousands of troops, and some can only command a thousand troops; And the command of the capital makes the division of this position even more serious.

Therefore, the main feature of this plan is that it clearly defines the number of troops that can be commanded by the commander and the commander of the capital, and at the same time, the post of governor has been set up in the commander of the capital, and this post is obviously only qualified to be held by those who have the most seniority and the greatest merit in Huainan, and it is impossible for ordinary commanders to hold it.

For example, Qin Pei, although he is a commander, his qualifications and merits are a little insufficient, and it is a little difficult to hold this position. And Zhu Siqing, Fan Sicong, and Chen Fan are all commanders, and according to Yang Wu's plan, they should serve as the commanders of Wei and command an army of 5,000 people.

Of course, if he goes out with Li Shenfu this time, if Zhu Siqing can make a contribution, maybe Yang Wu can promote him to the commander of the capital and command the first division in the future.

"If you follow the plan of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, I am afraid that some of the current commanders and commanders will have no soldiers to bring. For them, I wonder how you plan to arrange them? After a long time, Qin Pei first raised doubts.

At present, the number of troops led by the commanders basically does not exceed 5,000, and some of them only have more than 1,000 troops, but in the future they will be unified to 5,000 people, and Yang Wu also plans to eliminate the old and weak, so it is certain that a considerable number of these current commanders will be "unemployed." The same is true of the position of the commander.

"Didn't I say that I would set up a Privy Council and a Commanding Division? In addition, the old and weak generals who have been eliminated will be responsible for local security and other tasks as state soldiers, which also need to be commanded by generals, so redundant generals can also be put in the local area to serve as local garrisons. In short, there is no need to worry about the fact that there are more places to place. Yang Wu said with a smile.

Qin Pei and the others all nodded, in fact, they were not worried about this, after all, they were all Yang Wu's henchmen, no matter how Yang Wu was organized, they could not become "redundant" generals.

As for the fact that those "redundant" generals will not be vehemently opposed, this is certain, and the transformation from front-line generals to local garrisons or in the Privy Council and the Command Department will certainly cause their dissatisfaction. However, the people present didn't care much, after all, if someone's rights and interests were damaged, someone would naturally benefit.

According to Yang Wu's plan, the last people who will benefit must be those who stay, such as the commanders, most of whom previously commanded less than 5,000 troops, but after the reorganization, they increased to 5,000, so they will naturally be happy; The same is true of the commanders, who have increased the number of troops commanded to 10,000; What's more, there is also the new position of governor, those who become governors must be the oldest, most meritorious, and most capable people in Huainan, with their support, even if other generals oppose it, it is useless.

"An army of 20,000 men is enough to deal with an average level of warfare, but what if it encounters a big war that requires the mobilization of more troops?" Zhu Siqing asked.

Nowadays, the war in the south is okay, generally less than 20,000 people, or 20,000 troops are enough to complete a large-scale war, but this is only when the war is not fierce, in the previous two Guangde wars, the strength of the Huainan army was only about 20,000 people.

However, it is certain that in future wars, there will inevitably be situations in which 50,000 or 60,000 or even 100,000 men will need to be invested.

"Then the position of the Metropolitan Governor will be temporarily established, and the Jiedu Embassy will be temporarily appointed to lead the large armies of several armies in battle, and it will be abolished immediately after the end of the war." Yang Wu said in a deep voice.

A governor commands a maximum of 20,000 troops, and an army of more than 20,000 is commanded by a temporary governor, so that in peacetime, a general can control no more than 20,000 troops, which naturally reduces the possibility of a general supporting his own troops.

"What about the question of the Temperance? Will there be people who will be canonized as festival envoys in the future? ”

"Impossible!" Yang Wu said categorically: "Jiedu will definitely not canonize this position in the future, even if it is canonized, it is a false position, and there will be no real power." ”

In today's Huainan, the problem of the festival envoy is actually not very serious, like Tian Yan's Ningguo festival envoy and Zhu Yanshou's Fengguo army festival envoy, since the two were killed, these two positions have not been canonized, and they should not be canonized in the future.

As for the current history of the states where the power and the temperance envoys have a fight, although they actually have the right to run the military, government, and finance at the same time, they do not have that title, and it will naturally be much easier to deal with when the time comes.

Several people asked some more questions, and Yang Wu answered them one by one, and then nodded in agreement.
