Now, no one dares to "bully" Liu Hong. makes him enjoy it all day long, and he feels a little happy.

However, he is the emperor after all, and there are always some national affairs that must be handled by him. It's like the army, this thing, if he doesn't hold it in his own hands, he will definitely not feel at ease.

The affairs of the army are of great importance, and he is very cautious in handling them. So for a while, he has been thinking about how to reform.

"Is it a petty fight, just reform it a little? Or will it be a model for future generations and directly undergo major surgery? Liu Hong kept pondering, "Although the small fight is a symptom but not a cure, it is better to be safe, and there will be no fluctuations." If it is a blueprint for future generations, although it treats both the symptoms and the root causes, but the movement will be big, and it is really hard to say whether it can be successfully completed. ”

For such a big matter, it is impossible for Liu Hong to make a decision on his own. Therefore, he brought Liu Qi and Sangong Jiuqing all here, and wanted to discuss with them.

This time, it was the first time that Liu Hong invited ministers to study national affairs. Those of them who were invited felt very honored, and they wanted to behave well in front of Liu Hong and help Liu Hong come up with ideas.

But Liu Hong, as soon as he said his two thoughts, these ministers were all dumbfounded.

There is no way, what Liu Hong proposed is too advanced. Even in Liu Hong's eyes, it is a small reform, in their eyes, it is already a major operation. Not to mention the separation of military and political affairs, which they never considered. Therefore, for a while, they were confused by Liu Hong's thoughts.

For such a major matter, how dare these cautious ministers come up with random ideas when they don't understand it. So it's a pity that Liu Hong's first initiative didn't get any useful advice.

"Alas, these ministers really can't help much. I have to make my own decisions about this military reform. Liu Hong thought about it and finally made a decision, "Forget it, this time I will be open-minded, and I will move thoroughly at one time, so as to save trouble in the future." ”

In the end, Liu Hong made up his mind, since he wanted to change, he would not make a small fuss. Just do it in one step, and completely separate the military and the government.

The military and the government were separated, and from then on, officials were only in charge of governing the country, and the army was only in charge of fighting, and there was no longer any involvement between the two sides. In this case, as long as the army is taken care of, there is absolutely no possibility of rebellion without the support of the army. In this way, his regime will be much more stable. Based on this alone, Liu Hong felt that it should be implemented.

However, if the military and the government are separated, it is necessary to let those officials who are involved in the military choose whether they want to join the army or politics.

But Liu Hong knows that there are many people who have nothing to do with the army, and they are all rare generals. For example, Li Ying, who is now Henan Yin, is such a character. So Liu Hong spoke again, since he wanted to choose, he would give all the officers and officers a chance to choose together.

Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all in chaos, after all, this matter, it seems, is an opportunity for everyone. After the military and the government, it was completely separated, and now the emperor let them choose whether to join the army or politics in the future. But no matter how they choose, the two systems after separation will be short of people, that's for sure. Once they've chosen, they're sure to be reused.

But this choice, after all, is related to their future. Although there is a shortage of people now, they can be reused. But what about later? This is a question they have to consider. Especially if you only have one chance, you can't change it after you choose it, and everyone is quite cautious about it.

Officers and officers, still at the time of choosing. Liu Hong sent people to take over the troops in those places.

The local army is absolutely not allowed to be retained. He had already arranged this matter, and he was tinkering with those bases, to a large extent, waiting for this time.

The local army, for sure, is not so easy to take over, and no one wants to give up their rights. But Liu Hong is determined and will not give up because they are unwilling. And the people he sent were not vegetarians, let alone the musket team he had trained for so long. Whoever dares to make trouble and refuses to carry it out, the musket team will directly eliminate him. As long as you defeat the leader, you will not be able to take away the power of the army.

Due to Liu Hong's toughness and iron blood, it didn't take long for him to completely take over the country's army.

"Okay, I'm relieved now. Now that the army has been completely taken over by me, this military reform is more than half completed. Without the harmony of the army, even if those officials played with flowers, they would not be able to turn the sky upside down. Liu Hong's hanging heart was completely let go, and then he pondered, "The reform of the army's system can come slowly." However, the elimination of the weak and the retention of the strong, the replenishment of soldiers, and the strengthening of training must be completed in a hurry. ”

Liu Fu had experience in this matter, and Liu Hong appointed him as the general manager of the whole army, and he was fully responsible for the whole army training. Liu Fu was very interested in this task, selected some people, and happily took office.

There is a precedent for the Yulin Army, under the age of 18, over 45, or if they are disabled and seriously ill and are not suitable to stay in the army, they will all be forced to leave the army and work in Liu Hong's farm or workshop.

Because these people have proper arrangements, there will be no problems in their future lives. So this thing went very well.

As for recruiting soldiers, it went even more smoothly. Now almost the whole country is in trouble, and there are displaced people everywhere. Insert the banner of recruitment into the pile of displaced people, and it won't take long to recruit as many soldiers as you want.

There are enough soldiers, and if you want to turn them into a strong army, you just need to strengthen training.

There is no need to worry about this, those private soldiers trained by Liu Hong in his early years are definitely qualified for the role of instructors now. It would be appropriate for them to train recruits. Liu Fu took them all with him at the beginning, just to let them complete this task.

Those private soldiers are familiar with training recruits. Anyway, those things are all trained by them a long time ago, and there are training materials issued by Liu Hong, so let them train recruits, it is not a very simple thing.

The soldiers were training hard, and the officers who decided to join the army were not idle. Since they have chosen the army, they will be officers in the future. As an officer, the necessary military skills must be mastered.

Therefore, Liu Hong directly set up a martial arts hall. Invite those recognized famous generals and inheritors of military families to go inside to teach, and let all the officers go to study inside.

Liu Hong pondered, since there is a martial arts hall, those famous generals in history should simply be found and trained inside.

Although Liu Hong is only familiar with those generals of the Three Kingdoms period. Most of them are still young. However, there are also many adults, such as Huang Zhong, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Ma Teng or something, all of whom are talents, and Liu Hong sent someone to find them.
