According to Yi Feng's plan, all the imperial army belonged to these three yamen, and the northern yamen was also known as the inner army and the forbidden army. Responsible for commanding the internal army, the subordinate army is organized into seven guards and ten armies, which are the left and right Qianniu Guard, the left and right prison guards, the left and right Jinwu guards, the Qinxun Yiwei and the left and right Yulin Army, the left and right Longwu Army, the left and right Shenwu Army, and the left and right Shenwei Army. These Seven Guards and Ten Armies, also known as the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, were stationed in the Gyeonggi Stronghold, guarding the Jingshi, guarding the emperor, and some of them were stationed in some important city passes. These Beiya forbidden troops will also be rotated and transferred, and they will be stationed at the border gates for training and combat in order to maintain their combat effectiveness. According to the plan, Huaihuang's three field cavalry armies and four field infantry armies, including those Turkic surrender armies and auxiliary soldiers, totaled 250,000 horses and horses, which were classified as the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, and 250,000 horses were reorganized into the Seven Guards and Ten Armies.

The Nanya, is the government soldiers or also called foreign soldiers, basically follow the twelve guards of the imperial court, slightly changed, for the left and right Yi guards, left and right Xiao guards, left and right military guards, left and right Wei Wei, left and right guards, left and right guards, left and right guards, a total of twelve guards. The current more than 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Taiyuan Imperial Court, as well as the rest of the soldiers and horses in the control area, will be subordinate to the Twelve Guards of the Southern Ya. According to the plan, each guard has jurisdiction over 30,000 soldiers and horses, 1,200 people in the chariot and cavalry mansion, 800 people in the hussar mansion, 15 in each chariot and hussar mansion, and 360,000 troops in the southern yafu.

The border government commanded the border army of nine towns, and Yifeng planned to subordinate the town garrison army of Huaihuang to the border ya, and set up nine towns in the north, that is, on the basis of the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty, three towns were added to the east, Woye, Huaishuo, Wuchuan, Fuming, Rouxuan, and Huaihuang Liuzhen, plus Yuyi, Chengde, and Huaiyuan, and Chengde Town was in Xijing. The town of Huaiyuan is in western Liaoning. Each town commanded 20,000 troops, and nine towns had 180,000 soldiers and horses. Each town has jurisdiction over military towns, forts, beacons, etc.

Yi Feng put a lot of thought into this plan. The ultimate goal is to put him in control of all the armies.

The distinction between the internal and external armies of the north and south is also aimed at better maintaining the combat effectiveness of the subordinate troops. At this time, the imperial court soldiers and horses were included in the southern ya. He also set up 12 guards for the Nanya, in order to disperse them as much as possible, and the Taiyuan armies were divided into the Nanya, which was first divided into 12 parts, and each guard was divided into 30 prefectures. Try to make the twelve guards parallel and not subordinate to each other.

The three government officials are not subordinate to each other, and even have a semi-parallel relationship with the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, they command the army, but they do not have the right to transfer troops. The right to transfer troops rests with the Privy Council, and there is no promotion, appointment, or dismissal of officers, and the right to select, appoint, and dismiss is vested in the Ministry of War, which is also in charge of the army's salaries, salaries, and equipment.

Each army of the guards has a general, and there are generals, generals, etc., but when fighting, the imperial court will draw troops and horses from each guard to form a camp, and appoint a commander general. In a word. Yi Feng is trying his best to hold the military power in his hands.

The establishment of new organs and new posts is aimed at breaking the current pattern of the armed forces and readjusting them. And the final result, of course, is to adjust in the direction of your ideals.

"The Privy Council shall have a Privy Counsellor and a Privy Vice-Counsellor, and each of the three Privy Councils shall have a Privy Counsellor and a Deputy Counsellor. In addition, the generals of the various guards and armies under the command of this government jointly command this office. I intend to have Wang Bao as the privy envoy, and He Ruobi and Han Seng Shou as the privy deputies. Gao Jia served as the marshal of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. Su Xiaoci served as the marshal of the Southern Yafu Army, and trusted the Marshal of the Border Ya with Shan Xiong. Then the ministries were reorganized. It belongs to the three ya. Then, he dispatched soldiers and horses from the south to fight against the rebellion and quell the chaos. ”

"Nice plan." After reading it, Wei Zheng first agreed, but also raised his own concerns, "He Ruobi and Han Seng Shou are so inevitably suspected of ascending and descending secretly, are they willing to agree?" ”

Yi Feng felt that there would be no problem, for the Taiyuan armies, he just reorganized them into the Twelve Guards, although he would definitely send some generals from Huaihuang and Youzhou to serve in the Nanya army, but in general, the Nanya armies would still be commanded by the original generals. In addition, Yi Feng also planned to give a reward to the Taiyuan army, and then let them go west to Guanzhong and fight back to Beijing, He Ruobi and they couldn't find too many available reasons to object, and in the end they would agree. Yi Feng was not worried that after this army was sent out, it would lose control. Let them go to fight the outpost battle, he has occupied the Hedong, Henan, and Hebei lands in the back, and there is the Northern Ya Forbidden Army in hand, what else are you worried about.

As a superior, what does he need to catch the most?

Personnel rights.

For today's Yi Feng, what he needs to grasp most is the control of the army, and the control of the army is actually the personnel power of the army generals. If you control the personnel and the generals, you will also control the army, control the military power, and the rest will come step by step. He didn't want to be like Yang Jian, but the dignified emperor was killed by Yang Xiu, and he didn't want to be like Yang Yong, who finally became the emperor, but was betrayed by his own prime minister.

On April 18, the court of Daming Palace.

The emperor's decree was read out in the eunuch hall: "The Great Sui Emperor decrees that all military affairs, no matter how big or small, will be executed by the crown prince."

Later, the eunuch read out the second edict.

The emperor issued an edict to establish a privy council and three yayas. With Wang Bao as the privy envoy, he was awarded the Duke of Luguo, promoted to the Zhuguo, and added the rank of marshal of the town army, which was the second grade. With He Ruobi and Han Seng Shou as privy deputy envoys, from the second grade, each awarded the title marshal rank. Gao Jia is the marshal of the Seventh Guard and Tenth Army of the Northern Ya, Su Xiaoci is the Marshal of the Twelve Guards of the Southern Ya, and Shan Xiongxin is the Marshal of the Nine Towns of the Border Ya. Yu Wenbi is the general of Zuo Xiaowei

In the hall, Gao Gong is still enjoying the glory of the couch, and he is still sleepy in his seat. The eunuch also announced the decree in the name of the emperor: ordered the crown prince Zuo Wei to lead Qin Qiong to be the general of the Zuo Yulin Army, and the right guard to lead Dou Jiande to be the general of the Zuo Shence Army

After a long list of the appointment of generals and commanders of the Privy Council, the three ya, and the various armies and towns of the Zhuwei, there was no appointment or dismissal of the officials of the other provinces and ministries of the imperial court, and Gao Gong's slightly closed eyes were slightly surprised. Originally, he thought that Yang Lin was planning to have a major earthquake, but he didn't expect that it only involved the army. Moreover, although it can be seen that the army has been adjusted greatly this time, it has not touched the interests of the officers and soldiers in Taiyuan too deeply. The Taiyuan armies were reorganized and subordinate to the Twelve Guards, but the generals of each army still controlled these hundreds of thousands of horses, which was enough.

Gao Gong couldn't help but have a deep understanding of the young crown prince on the throne. He made adjustments to the army, but it was enough for the Taiyuan army, but he could see that this change and adjustment was indeed very beneficial to the prince. At least straightened out the relationship between the soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and added the cage of the Privy Council and the Sanya to the armies. Although it is not obvious yet, the prince will definitely go deeper step by step. Sooner or later, he will take all this military power into his hands.

The crown prince on the throne is like a monarch, and he looks at him majestically.

The people who read the decree stood up and bowed down before Yi Feng, who accepted it in place of the Son of Heaven, and then they returned to their places and knelt down after receiving the decree. One after another, the generals stepped forward, changing positions like a marquee, and every general bowed to Yi Feng, which made Yi Feng extremely happy. He smiled and nodded to everyone, and the generals surrendered, and he liked the feeling.

At the end of the court meeting, the hundred officials and the generals who were appointed to the court today retired from the court and left the Daming Palace.

Dongcheng, Gao Gong Mansion.

After the prince supervised the regency, Xicheng became a palace city and an imperial city, and Gao Gong also took the initiative to move out of Xicheng, and the prince gave him another mansion in Dongcheng.

The house is huge. It is also a Beppu of the Taiyuan Wang family, but unlike the emperor who forcibly expropriated the Xicheng mansion to reward the hundred officials, the prince took out a large amount of real money to buy or rent many mansions from the owners of the mansions in the eastern city, and then distributed them to the important ministers. For some officials with lower official ranks. It was rented to them at a low price, and although the rent was collected, the prince added a rent allowance to the officials. Officials were not in a position to do so. And the local homeowners are also very happy that the house is not occupied in vain. The imperial court did not spend a lot of money on the purchase of houses, and everyone was happy.

There is a very long pomegranate tree in the courtyard of the new mansion in Gao Gong. It's not yet May, but the tree has already begun to bloom, and the pomegranate blossoms are blooming vigorously and beautifully. Every day when he returns to the mansion from the public house in the imperial city, he likes to let the family move a rattan chair under the tree, lie there and blow the cool breeze of the summer evening, drink some purple wine, and feel really good.

This evening, Gao Gong did not drink alone, He Ruobi, Han Seng Shou, Yu Wenbi three ministers came to visit, and the four important ministers of the court and the central government gathered together to taste the wine. It was a very taboo for the four ministers to gather in private, but today's prince's move made them all feel a bit of heavy pressure, and no one knew what would happen to the prince next. They all wanted to hear what Gao Gong meant, and everyone could advance and retreat together.

The purple mulberry wine is poured into the crystal thin white porcelain cup, and it looks more and more beautiful. Han Seng Shou took a sip and nodded with satisfaction.

"Mellow is sweet and refreshing, and the stamina is enough, this wine is extraordinary, and after drinking it, I don't want to drink anything else. The other wines are not as strong as this wasted wine. ”

He Ruobi nodded, "Yes, Huaihuang's wine is always sweet when you drink it at first, which makes you feel that you can drink a lot, but before you know it, you are drunk, and you are very drunk." ”

Several people understood that his words also alluded to the powerful methods of the crown prince of the current regent, and everyone couldn't help but be silent.

"The prince only said today that after the various departments are reorganized, they will be sent back to Guanzhong, but he hasn't said who will lead the troops."

"The news I heard was led by the soldiers and horses of Nanya, and it is estimated that it will be either Marshal He Ruo or Marshal Yuwen, or so-and-so, it will be so good." Han Seng Shou said.

He Ruobi smacked his lips, "Why is the prince in no hurry to return to Guanzhong, what is he thinking?" ”

Gao Gong sipped the wine, but in his heart he could almost guess what the prince was thinking at this time, just look at the prince's series of actions today, build a privy council and set up three offices, and integrate all the armies, it is clear that the prince acts more steadily and without impulse. Everything is one step at a time, three steps, and the eyes are far away. He was not in a hurry to return to Guanzhong, but he wanted to integrate the armies in Taiyuan City, what does this mean? This is to strengthen the control of the army, and this prince is surprisingly stable. He sent the Nan Yajun as the vanguard, and maybe he also had the intention of borrowing Yang Xiu or Yang Guang to consume the soldiers and horses of the non-Huai Huang lineage. In fact, judging from his old experience, the prince's idea is right, there is not only one usurper Yang Xiu in the world, but also Yang Guang, who now occupies half of the country. Why should the prince rush to Guanzhong and Yang Xiu to fight to the death, integrate the soldiers and horses in his hands, and further stabilize the north is the last word, after the rear is stabilized, and then go south, even if Yang Guang enters Guanzhong first, what is the use.

"The prince is a powerful one, but I don't know how he will treat us in the future!" Yu Wenbi can also be regarded as seeing the power of the new prince.

"Maybe we should retreat and give way to others. There are new people coming out of the country, and we are all old. Gao Gong chuckled.

"People in the rivers and lakes, they can't help it, which one still has a big family to take care of, it's not easy to quit." He Ruobi is unwilling to play any torrent and retreat, even if the dynasty changes, they can still continue to do it, and now they are just the prince in charge of the country, not to mention that there are now Yang Xiu and Yang Guang two pseudo-emperors. No matter how powerful the prince is, do you dare to say that you don't need these famous generals and marshals who have made countless military exploits? Although the prince fought well in Daibei before, he didn't think that the prince's Huaihuang army was so powerful, and the generals in Huaihuang were so good, they were just a group of young juniors. Yang Lin actually sent a horse thief to be a privy envoy, standing above him and Han Sengshou, He Ruobi was very uncomfortable in his heart. Who is Wang Bao? There is also a name called Karasuma Bao, a Han horse thief who is Xianbei, but because he used to be the prince's henchman when he was a horse thief, he was the first of the eighteen horsemen of Yanyun under Yi Saburo, a white horse and a silver spear, so he was able to ascend to heaven, and he actually made the prince of the country a marshal of the Shangzhu State, and finally became the prefect of the Privy Council, so he was able to be called the prime minister. This newly established Privy Council is so high and powerful that even the prime minister can't control it. Originally, it was reasonable to say that Yang Lin made him a privy deputy envoy, and he could be regarded as the second person to command all the soldiers and horses in the imperial court, but because of the Karasuma Bao above, he felt breathed a sigh of relief and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

In the Daming Palace, Liu Ying, the eighteenth cavalry of Yi Feng Yanyun, was reporting to Yi Feng that Gao Gong and He Ruobi, Han Seng Shou, and Yu Wenbi had a private gathering in Gaofu in the evening.

"Your Highness, these people are not very honest, or let me arrest them." Liu Ying is now the head of the Special Affairs Section, which is directly subordinate to Yi Feng like the Military Intelligence Department and the Statistics Bureau. Yi Feng remembers reading a book that said that those who succeeded in cultivating alone relied on the secret police and propaganda. He agrees with this. Although the secret service is not good, it does help a lot to control. However, for Liu Ying's suggestion, Yi Feng just shook his head, "It's good to continue to monitor, it's best to install and develop some eyeliner piles, and scout out their usual words and deeds, without my order, just keep watching, don't act without permission." ”

As long as a qiē is under control, it is fine, and there is no need for excessive cleaning, and sometimes it is necessary to be with the light and dust. (To be continued......)
