Chapter 13 Adaptation and Reduction
The military department Shangshu Huang Fu Song, the left attendant of the military department Liu Ye, the Zhendong general Cao Cao, the western general Lu Bu, the central guard Liu Bei, and the Yulin Zhonglang general Zhang Liao.
These people should be regarded as the people who directly hold the military power in the court of the Han Dynasty today. Originally, Liu Ye should not be enough to be included in this range, but Liu Ye has mastered the only intelligence collection agency in the imperial court, and everyone present understands the importance of intelligence, so Liu Ye has also become one of the insect bites that cannot be ignored.
Even if the things to be talked about today have little to do with Liu Ye, he still let him sit aside.
"Now that the reorganization of the forbidden army has been completed, the next step is to expand the establishment of the forbidden army step by step, and just do it step by step. What we want to discuss at the moment is actually not much to do with the forbidden army, but the issue of the Tiger Army, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the Yulin Cavalry. ”
The forbidden army still followed the system of the Han Dynasty army.
It is compiled on the basis of the five-two-five-two-five system.
One thousand people, shoot a thousand people, and the governor or tooth general. Each song has two songs, each song has 500 people, and the song is long. Each song has five tuns, and each tun has 100 people, and there are tun generals. Two teams per tun, 50 people per team, and the captain of the club. Each team has five tithes, ten people per tithe, and a tithe. Every tithe, every five people, set up a captain.
The commander is the lowest-ranking officer, in fact, he is not an officer at all, and his treatment is basically no different from that of ordinary soldiers.
This was the most basic military structure of the Han Dynasty.
This part was still retained after the reorganization of the forbidden army, and no changes were made, and the establishment of regiments, battalions, companies and platoons that Liu Xuan preferred was not implemented.
It is not this part that needs to be discussed now, because it has been determined that it will not be changed for at least a few decades, and the military establishment of the imperial court in the future will be based on this system as the basic framework.
But the commanding officials above were a headache for the imperial court and Liu Xuan.
For example, the Tiger Army, at present, the Tiger Army has 5,000 people, and according to the imperial court establishment, it should be five.
However, the Tiger Army, the Yulin Cavalry, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are all specially organized troops, and they are not divided according to the establishment of this department, but are divided into left cavalry and right cavalry, and then go down to the level of the department, which is directly Qu.
Because of this difference, the middle-level officers of these units are all such as Tiger Cavalry Captain or Leopard Cavalry Captain, or Hu Ben Zuo Zhonglang, Yulin Zuo Cheng and other officials.
The names are varied, and the powers often change according to the changes in the troops, which often makes people feel dizzy, and the officials in charge of logistics and affairs also find it troublesome.
Liu Xuan called everyone here in order to change this situation, to carry out a thorough unified establishment of these three soldiers and horses, especially to get closer to the forbidden army, and there must be nothing special.
Huangfu Song has served in the court for the longest time and has experienced the most battle formations, and he knows the most about military affairs, and after listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, he understands what are the benefits of doing this, so that it can more conveniently control these three elites in the hands of the imperial court, and prevent the appearance of some small tricks.
"Now that these three troops and horses have reached the scale of an army, why don't you simply reorganize according to the way of the forbidden army?"
Liu Xuan originally meant this, so naturally he didn't disagree, but the situation of these three soldiers and horses is special, especially those military positions have special positions, how to deal with those military positions?
"Cut!"
Cao Cao's words were crisp and neat, and he didn't seem to think about it, if these official positions were really abolished, then the biggest impact would actually be his strongest control of the tiger and leopard horse.
If those positions were abolished, wouldn't Liu Xuan be completely out of his grasp if he transferred those people away?
"Could it be that this Cao Mengde is really a loyal minister dedicated to the country?"
Huangfu Song couldn't help but glance at Cao Cao a few more times, but he didn't know that Cao Cao had already understood that the soldiers and horses should not be held to death too much, and there would be more and stronger soldiers and horses for him to command in the future, so although he attached importance to the tiger and leopard riding, it would not be to the point of holding on to it and not letting go.
At the same time, he also saw that the forbidden army was the most relied on army of the country, and no matter how strong the tiger and leopard rode you, the great heaven was composed of 5,000 people. No matter how many people there are, the court can't bear it, and the Son of Heaven won't agree. Those brothers of the same clan who followed him, instead of being trapped in the tiger and leopard riding, it was better to go directly to the forbidden army.
The dismissal is also an opportunity for these brothers of the same clan.
Liu Xuan was so happy when he heard Cao Cao, so what was the hesitation? He nodded directly, and cleaned up the mess of titles.
With this order, starting tomorrow, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Tiger Ben Army, and the Yulin Cavalry will all begin to be reorganized, and they will be reorganized according to the Han Dynasty army structure.
After the reorganization, the three armies were divided into five divisions, that is, there were five generals, and these people would be the officers who directly managed the tiger and leopard cavalry, but the rank was not high. It's just to show that the elite of the tiger and leopard ride is different from ordinary soldiers and horses, and the treatment is slightly better.
At this time, another problem arises.
What is the rank of the highest commander of the three soldiers and horses? If it is a captain, the rank seems to be a bit low. If he is a Zhonglang general, Liu Xuan is bent on abolishing the position of Zhonglang general.
Isn't that a conflict with your own order?
"I didn't expect to get myself in. ”
Touching his chin, Liu Xuan looked at the other people and found that these people were frowning and thinking.
"Since the number of soldiers and horses has reached 5,000, it is enough to call it an army! "For example, Liu Xuan asked Xiahou Yuan to command 5,000 troops to defend Hanzhong, and as soon as the edict came out, according to the number of soldiers and horses, Xiahou Yuan's position as a general was decided.
Therefore, after the number of tigers and leopards reaches 5,000, the commander must be a general, otherwise it will be an act of slapping himself in the mouth. In the end, Huangfu Song made a suggestion: "If you don't take the command of the titled general, the name will be crowned in the name of these military horses." ”
The so-called titled generals are actually miscellaneous generals. It's not very high in the general rank, and the names in front of it are miscellaneous, and some even look mighty and domineering, but in fact, there is no use for fart, it's just good-looking.
There is no subordinate relationship between the titled generals, and who is controlled by him also depends on what he wants to do and who does things under him, so he can be regarded as a general with a high degree of self-restraint and easy to transfer.
According to the normal situation, the status of these three soldiers and horses, their commanders are definitely more than a general, but with soldiers and power, no one in the court wants to see this situation.
Just like Cao Cao and Lu Bu, why did they give up the two soldiers and horses, and it wasn't because his two official ranks were too high?
"In this way, it is necessary to set up three ranks: General Yulin, General Huben, and General Haw Par. At the same time, there are two deputies in each army, both of whom are lieutenants. ”
Liu Xuan nodded, and finally agreed to Huangfu Song's suggestion, and at the same time completely abolished the post of Zhonglang General, anyway, there is no one in the court who is currently serving as Zhonglang General, and the dismissal will not have a big impact.
At the same time, it was determined that the rank of captain was the deputy of the commander of the first army, and at the same time, Liu Xuan also directly removed the names in front of various captains, so that the captain became a military position completely.
Among the generals he can use now, most of them are at the rank of captain, including Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Song Xian, Xiahoudun and others.
There are still only a few people who have been awarded the title of general, after this change, Zhang Liao moved to General Yulin and continued to lead the Yulin Army, Qin Yilu was promoted to lieutenant and served as his deputy, and the position of another lieutenant is currently vacant.
Lu Bu gave up the Tiger Ben Army, but Liu Xuan did not decide who would inherit the Tiger Ben General, this question is estimated to be unsettled for a while, and Liu Xuan is willing to take over by Zhang Fei or Guan Yu.
The position of the general of the tiger and leopard is the most suspenseful, Cao Ren took over, Cao Hong and Xiahou Yi served as lieutenants as his deputies, and at the same time, Liu Xuan knew that there were also many Cao and Xiahou people among the lower-level officers in the tiger and leopard cavalry, such as Cao Chun, Cao De, Xiahouen, etc.
Cao Cao didn't hide this, and directly said that he wanted to send these people to the forbidden army for training, Liu Xuan naturally had no reason to disagree, and he agreed casually. All of them were transferred to the forbidden army, and they were basically tooth generals or Qu Chang.
At this point, the three elite soldiers and horses have been set up with a new structure, and many people have been transferred out of the original troops, especially the two teams of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Ben Army are the most huge.
Among them, the tiger and leopard ride does not speak, although the tiger army has not decided who the final commander is, but there are only two places left for the captain, Liu Xuan is Cao and Gao Shun, and the rest of the people have to be transferred to the forbidden army.
This toss is finally a toss-up, but when he was about to end, Liu Ye suddenly said: "Your Majesty has designated the school captain as a medium-level military position specializing in leading the army, so should the title of Sili school captain be changed?"
Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Huang Wan still dominated the position of a powerful lieutenant of Sili, although after several times of suppression, the power of the lieutenant of Sili was much smaller, but it was still an official position that could not be underestimated, so he had to give an explanation.
Fortunately, Liu Xuan had already thought about this problem, and he didn't need to bother to think about it when he heard the words, so he said casually: "The things that Captain Sili is responsible for overlap with the powers of many departments, and they should have been adjusted a long time ago. ”
After a pause, seeing that everyone was staring at him, he continued: "I want to abolish the Sili Captain, merge his jurisdiction with the Imperial History Terrace, and Huang Wan will move to the Imperial History Zhongcheng!"
When everyone heard this, they only felt that Huang Wan was so pitiful, and he was taken away by the Son of Heaven at the beginning, and later revoked his right to command the army. With the establishment of the Sixth Ministry, the imperial court system was gradually improved, and Huang Wan, the lieutenant of the division, gradually became an ornament. Now it is even more simply, and even the officials have been abolished.
As for the Yushitai, although it also has the authority to report and supervise hundreds of officials, it is more than one grade worse than that of the lieutenant of Sili. Even after Emperor Huan, the power of the Imperial Historical Observatory is declining day by day, and it is basically an empty shelf in the near future, and it has no role at all.
What Liu Xuan wanted was not a useless institution, he made this suggestion, that is, to let the Yushitai resume the supervision of hundreds of officials, and he even had the intention to directly change the Yushitai to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
After dealing with a lot of chores, Liu Xuan took advantage of the fact that everyone was scattered, and there was no one around: "After doing so many things, shouldn't I go out for a walk and play a private visit with a microserver?" (To be continued)
