I don't know whose sweat fell on the ground, breaking the deathly silence at the moment. Li Yu said coldly: "Okay, I will never change my words!"

Seeing that at this moment, Li Yu, who had no one to oppose him, went on to say, "From today on, the Imperial Forest Army and the Praetorian Guard Army will no longer exist, but from today Jinling will set up the Tang First Army, the Second Army, the Third Army and the Guard Army, the first three armies will have 10,000 people each, and the highest commander of each army will be the army commander, and the army commander will be divided into five divisions, and the highest commander of each division will be the division commander, and so on, each division is divided into four regiments, each regiment is divided into five battalions, and each battalion is divided into five squads. In addition, the regimental commander and officers above the regimental commander shall set up two chiefs of staff, taking the division commander as an example, and the divisional chief of staff has the duty of giving advice, and at the same time can play the fault of the army commander and the division commander, and in addition, when the division commander dies unexpectedly, he can temporarily command the army. The guards are only responsible for protecting the generals, and the guards are personally served by me. The guard division consisted of 3,000 men, divided into ten guard regiments, under which there were ten companies, and of course not everyone had guards. Only regimental and regimental officers may have guards, and the corps commander and his chief of staff each have a guard company guard, while the division commander and his chief of staff have ten guards, and the regiment and its chief of staff have five guards. Everyone was dumbfounded.

Li Yuke didn't care whether they were stunned or not, and continued: "The first army has Yi Yu as the commander, the second army has Zhao Yuanyong as the commander, and the third army is selected by me and accepted the fate, as for you," he said, he looked at Zhao Yuanyong's subordinates who were kneeling, "Let's serve as the regiment commander first, as for whether I have the talent to hold other positions, the military department will be renamed the Military Commission." When the meeting of the Military Commission is convened, it can be elected. Wang Shouren, you are dutiful in your duties, and you will serve as the commander of my guard company, responsible for protecting my safety. In addition, ordinary soldiers are discharged after five years, during which Datang pays military salaries every month, and if there are injured, disabled or even dead, Datang will take care of his and his family's life, and after the death of soldiers and officers above the regimental level in the war, the spirit card will be placed in the imperial royal mausoleum to be worshiped by the emperor's relatives and relatives. Tomorrow at noon, the whole army will elect officers at the Sixth Army of the former Royal Forest Army, and those who are interested can come here to sign up" Li Yu is also very powerful, and after finishing speaking, his face is not red and he is not panting. Looking at the people who were still digesting, Li Yu couldn't control so much, and directly led Gonggong An and Hua Yinyin.

After a while, Zhao Yuanyong was the first to figure out Li Yu's words, and he looked up to the sky and shouted: "I am expected to prosper in the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Yuanyong, Zhao Yuanyong, Your Majesty is very hard, you actually misunderstood him." It's just a pity, I'm too old to continue to work hard with the emperor for long, otherwise I will let the four seas plant the banner of my Datang. ”

After Zhao Yuan finished speaking, Yi Yu also reacted, and said proudly: "General Zhao, with such an emperor here, you are still very young, and Datang will need you more in the future!" After saying that, the two of them laughed together. If Li Yu hadn't left, his jaw would have dropped in shock, is this still the majestic General Zhao and the steady General Yi?

Of course, this can't be blamed on them, Li Yu's measures are too perfect, and he has completely eradicated the malpractices of the armies of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Not only did the soldiers kill the enemy without hesitation, but the general's rights were also fully exercised. There is no need to worry about too much power (there are only 10,000 people in an army). And the guard also has an important use, don't underestimate the power of the guard, although he is to protect the safety of the general, but at a critical time under the emperor's order can kill the commander, so naturally there is no need to worry about the commander collaborating with the enemy to rebel.

Therefore, Yi Yu and Zhao Yuanyong, who can fight to their heart's content in the future, laughed out loud.

……

But Li Yu who returned to the palace was not so easy, although the army problem was solved. However, there is no way to do political affairs, and if political affairs are not done well, no matter how good the army is, it will not be able to hold out for a few years, but if the political affairs are properly done and the army is not good, it can hold out for a while.

This is not alarmist, try to think about it carefully, what Li Yu just said is focused on money and food. However, in the current Southern Tang Dynasty, money and grain are simply not enough, not enough, but far from enough. Let's just say that the Guards are owed a few months' wages. That's why Wang Biao's military camp is chaotic like that, of course, Wang Biao's military camp is almost the same as this reason, the key is itself, otherwise how can Zhao Yuanyong's army still be strict. But, to get back to the point, we can't let the soldiers go hungry to fight.

Li Yu, who really had no choice but to call Grandpa An, who was waiting outside the door, to ask, after all, Grandpa An was in this era, and he was not better than himself. However, Gonggong An is only a eunuch, and he has no choice but to face this matter. Although Grandpa An couldn't find an idea. However, Grandpa An still has an advantage, and the advantage is his understanding of this era. Therefore, he has no way to do it himself, it doesn't mean that others have no way, and Gonggong An, who thought of this, recommended to Li Yu: "The old slave doesn't know, but Your Majesty can ask the minister of the household department." Li Yu silently thought in his heart, he had been in the Southern Tang Dynasty for three days, except for the army, none of the ministers had been summoned, and he made a mistake. "Well, call all the ministers of the household department to the main hall for me." "Obey the order", Father-in-law An hurriedly ran outside. The emperor is sensible and begins to care about political affairs, can Father-in-law An be unhappy as Li Yu's half grandfather, so his actions are a little faster. Looking at the back of Grandpa An's flying away, Li Yu fell into contemplation again.

……

When the emperor arrived, Li Yu appeared above the main hall after a scream. The ministers knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Li Yu rubbed his temples and whispered, "Aiqing is flat." Not to mention, I only saw the dragon chair on TV, and at this moment I called the real dragon chair, and I did it myself, and in the face of everyone worshipping the taste, it was false to say that I was not excited. But excitement is excitement, after sitting on the dragon chair, Li Yu immediately looked at the ministers in the hall, but the excitement was instantly replaced by annoyance, because the ministers were all cowering. It's no wonder that Li Yu hasn't been to the court for three days due to illness, and the ghost knows if the faint king came back to ask everyone to write poems against him, or kill people.

With a "snap", Li Yu slammed the hammer on the table. Li Yu really couldn't help it, and his words were almost angry: "A group of bastards, the Song army is pressing the border, I am looking for you to talk about state affairs, not surrender, you see what kind of bears you all look like." Don't want to do it, do you? Okay, I'll remove you from your jobs at once, and I'll all go home and farm."

Hearing this, the ministers fell to their knees. The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely cold for a while. Li Yu himself had no choice, and when he saw such a minister again, he couldn't help but feel a little powerless. After being furious, Li Yu sat on the dragon chair tiredly and waved his hand to let the ministers retreat. Hey, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. The bright and dark diseases of the Southern Tang Dynasty cannot be cured in a while and a half, thinking of this, Li Yu, who had missed some of the army's habits, was a little depressed at the moment. However, with a gleam flashing in his tired eyes, he did not give in......
