The eldest grandson Wuji listened to Chen Kefu's detailed words, and nodded frequently when he listened, and even took the pen and ink directly from the side, holding the scroll in one hand and the pen in the other, and began to remember while listening. At first, he was worried that the yamen of the province was too big, but when he heard that the province did not have the power of a local governor as in the past. Even after the power of one province and three governors, one department and three governors is checked and balanced. He also felt that this newly established provincial system, in fact, in addition to the population of a governor and the local area, was actually not as good as a taishou during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, after all, the taishou at that time not only governed the people, advanced the virtuous, decided lawsuits, and prosecuted adultery, but also could appoint and dismiss his own Peng Shi.

And the power of this province is divided layer by layer, the administrative, judicial, and military powers are separated, and those officials who are not in the stream in the provincial capitals and counties are appointed and dismissed by the imperial court. Even from Chen Kefu's words, he had faintly heard that even so, King Chen estimated that he did not intend to give much real power to the three governors, except for the high position of Zheng Sanpin, the real power of the three divisions would be in the hands of the six deputies of the three divisions.

After hearing what was going on, the eldest grandson Wuji still felt a little lost in his heart. I thought that I would really become a feudal official and do a good job. But I didn't expect that in fact, it can only be regarded as a noble official position, and the real power seems to be small. But after thinking about it, this is really good, at least, it is impossible to raise troops to divide the territory like Li Yuan did in Hedong at the beginning.

"Your Highness, who will be the Admiral and the Governor? The Admiral is nothing. But this governor is in charge of a province, will he have too much power? After all, the governor and the admiral may not be able to control the generals who lead the troops. What if someone has a self-respecting army? Eldest Sun Wuji quickly thought of another loophole. The Governor has great civil power, but he has over the population of hundreds of counties in a province. But compared to the Governor, it doesn't seem to be anything. After all, just after the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the end of the Sui Dynasty, people still have more military power than civilian officials in their hearts. And the demise of so many national dynasties in the Northern and Southern Dynasties basically belonged to the rebellion of the military generals.

Chen Kefu smiled slightly, of course he couldn't leave such a flaw, so he explained it to him. Chen Kefu thought about this provincial system for a long time and learned a lot from the institutional experience of later generations. However, in this era, he still has some confidence. However, this has not been talked about to other people, so I just discussed with Wuji first to see what loopholes and flaws, just to improve, and when the new dynasty comes, it will be implemented.

Regarding the separation of powers in the province and the supervision of the army, Chen Kefu certainly thought about it carefully. Soldiers and murder weapons also. The saints have said it. Be cautious about the military. Chen Kefu, a person more than a thousand years later, certainly has a deeper understanding of these.

The Tang Dynasty was the pride of all Han people, but such a prosperous era was the death of the generals who supported the army and respected themselves. The feudal towns of the Jiedu envoys were divided, and finally the country was destroyed. At the same time, it is known as the most open and fertile era of the Great Song Dynasty in China. However, because the founding emperor was worried about repeating the back path of the Tang Dynasty, he restricted the generals too strictly, and the entire Song Dynasty military generals were too suppressed by the civil officials, so that although the Song Dynasty was rich, it had to pay New Year's coins to foreign people to buy peace, and in the end it was difficult to escape being destroyed by foreign people. Relatively speaking. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the status of military generals was still very high. And the army of the Ming Dynasty also performed very well. Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty army was finally destroyed by the hereditary military household of officers.

Chen Kefu knew all the lessons and lessons of his predecessors, so when formulating these systems that might affect the entire dynasty in the future, he also incorporated the excellent systems of each dynasty and removed some wrong and improper systems. For example, at this time, the province was in command of the envoys, and Chen Kefu was the most worried about him. …,

The army must be brave in order to defend the country and open up the territory, but the army must be restrained, otherwise it will get out of control, just like the Tang Dynasty. But it can't be too suppressed, otherwise there will be a possibility that the army is too weak like the Song Dynasty. How to find a balance between them is the most correct and the most difficult.

"I have already thought about it, the commander of the Hedong Metropolitan with you is General Wang Rengong, the left commander is Wei Chi Jingde, and the right commander is Qin Shubao. The governor is Yao Junsu, the left probation is served by Chen Xiaoyi, and the right probation will be transferred to Xiao Yu, who has just returned to the imperial court. Your deputy is planned to have the eldest grandson Shunde as the political envoy of the left cloth, and Li Xiaochang as the political envoy of the right cloth. These will all be colleagues in Hedong Province in the future, and you will have to work together for at least three years in the future. ”

Hearing that Wang Rengong and Qin Shubao and Chi Gong, the head captain of the black charcoal, came to serve as the commander of the soldiers and horses in Hedong, the eldest grandson Wuji was a little relieved. These people are the most loyal to King Chen in the Hebei Army, although the old man Wang Rengong joined halfway, but Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde are the confidants and generals of King Chen, and with them sitting in Hedong, there is no need to worry about the military aspect. The only thing he was still worried about was that the power of the commander was too great.

Chen Kefu saw his worries and said with a smile: "Don't worry so much, I still have in my ears what you said last time about taking over the power of the world's soldiers and horses, how can you make such a blatant mistake now." Let me tell you, although the commanders of the envoys said that they were in command of the soldiers and horses of a province, they were not in command of the regular army, but the soldiers and militias of various prefectures, counties, and townships. The commander of the embassy department is responsible for the training of township soldiers and militia groups, registration and selection, and the supply of grain, grass and equipment. They also had the task of liaising between the imperial court and the local government soldiers. "That's it?" The eldest grandson Wuji didn't want to believe in the governor of a province, it sounded like it was extremely beautiful, and he was in a high position, but he only had such a little power.

"Of course." Chen Kefu smiled slightly, and his smile was extremely bright.

If you want to prevent the generals from supporting their own troops, you can't give them any chance, this is the experience that Chen Kefu summed up from his own experience.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, to be able to pull out to fight at any time, and to prevent the generals from supporting the army and disrupting the government, Chen Kefu racked his brains. In the end, I still felt that Yang Jian's government military system was very good, just like the United States in later generations, the highest unit was only a division battalion, and it would only be assembled in wartime. In the Sui period, the army was stationed everywhere in Yingyang Mansion, and Yingyanglang raised all the senior generals above in the capital. Armies are gathered only when there is a war. In peacetime, soldiers are separated.

For this reason, Chen Kefu finally chose the government soldier system and added a little improvement.

Chen Kefu now commands hundreds of thousands of troops. When Chen Kefu had not yet entered the customs, about 100 Yingyang Mansions were set up in Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Mobei, with a number of about 100,000 people. Later, the soldiers and horses were expanded, and about 100,000 or so were recruited, and then there were about 100,000 Saiwai coalition troops, and about 100,000 township soldiers and militia groups outside the Guanwai were left. The rest. It is the soldiers and horses who surrendered in Hebei, Shandong, Huainan, Henan and other places, and these numbers are still about 200,000 in the army.

Today's Hebei army has more than 600,000 people, and these are only counted as soldiers and horses in conscription, and the unrequisitioned township soldiers outside Liaodong Pass and Hebei and other places are not counted in the militia group. With so many large armies, it has basically reached the highest number of regular armies in the Sui Dynasty.

Now there are many soldiers and horses in the Hebei army, and there are even more generals. Although a large number of prisoners were reorganized and disbanded, the composition of the Hebei Army was still very complicated. It's long gone to be pure. Faced with such a situation. Now Chen Kefu must also come up with a good plan to solve it.

The new plan for the government and the command of the provincial capital is Chen Kefu's overall plan. In the following time, Chen Kefu will begin to convert all the troops into status. Except for the 200,000 forbidden troops, all the rest of the troops were converted into local government troops, township soldiers, and militia groups. …,

In Chen Kefu's plan, there are more than 30 provinces in the world. There are nearly 200 prefectures, and each prefecture will set up an Eagle Yang Mansion, with 1,000 soldiers and horses in each prefecture, and the number of soldiers in all prefectures is about 200,000. Then the surrendered and captured soldiers in the army were cleared out and turned into reserve soldiers and horses of the township soldiers and militia groups. Together with the separate 100,000 sailors, it will also be converted into the four fleets of the sailors.

In this way, the 100,000 hired Cypriot and foreign coalition troops were eliminated. The Hebei Army will retain a standing army of 500,000 and a regular reserve of about 400,000 township soldiers. and about 400,000 second-line reserve militias.

And in order to solve the problem of those large number of demoted generals, as well as outstanding generals who are not descendants, Chen Kefu decided to promote them all openly and secretly.

For example, those generals of the Eastern Capital Army, Chen Kefu promoted them to their posts, and then stuffed them into the reserve township troops under the command of the provincial capitals. Although the reserve township soldiers are not regular troops, they will have a month of complete training every year, and will be issued with equipment and special battalion-level standing military officers. The worst generals in the army today will be thrown there, but their township soldiers are all battalion units, and they can also be battalion officers at the most.

For example, a large part of the generals attached to Huaibei, Shandong, Hebei and other places will be in the upper positions of the commanders of the provinces. As for those non-descendant generals who were already in high positions, Chen Kefu planned to transfer them all to the imperial court.

To this end, Chen Kefu basically expanded the original eight guards in the concentration of the three major officers, including the military department, the staff staff headquarters, and the army and martial arts hall, and changed the eight guards to 24 guards, including the eight guards of the Inner Guard, the 12 guards of the Outer Army, and the four guards of the Navy Division.

The 12 guards of the Waifu army still follow the Sui system, which is the left and right Yi guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right Hou guards, the left and right tun guards, and the left and right imperial guards.

The eight guards of the Inner Mansion are Shenwu, Shence, Yulin, Xiaoqi, Longxiang, Huben, Yingyang, and Fengxiang. These eight guards are divided into 200,000 of the most elite Hebei Army, and they will also be the descendants of the most descendants.

The remaining four guards of the Navy Division were adapted from the original Sea Dragon Guard Four Fleet, which were Nuhai, Zhenhai, Lingbo, and Anlan.

The soldiers and horses in the world are all under the 24 guards, the outer army is the Eagle Yang Mansion, with 1,000 people per house, and the inner guard army is the battalion, with 500 people per battalion. The naval division was divided into sub-fleets, each with 2,500 men. The Yingyang Mansion is in charge of the troops, and the highest general is the general of the five pins.

Eagle Yang Mansion commands the army and trains the troops.

The Ministry of War is in charge of recruitment, grain and equipment, and orders.

The General Staff Headquarters is in charge of training programs, formulating war plans, and conducting intelligence investigations.

The 24th Wei General's Mansion is in charge of all the generals, and he is in the General's Mansion during peacetime, and he is ordered to go out on the battlefield during wartime, and he returns to the General's Mansion after the class.

The provincial commanders are in charge of the township soldiers and militia groups, selecting, registering and training, suppressing bandits in the local area, and defending the local city walls.

The system of the Sui Dynasty was a three-level system of the Yingyang Mansion, the Military Department, and the Twelve Wei Generals' Mansion. Chen Kefu simply made it more ruthless, and directly targeted the five-level system of the Yingyang Mansion, the Military Department, the General Staff Headquarters, the Twenty-Four Wei Generals' Mansion, and the Provincial Command Department. Chen Kefu didn't believe that if he came, who else in his Great Chen Dynasty would be able to support his own troops.
