From a historical perspective, Liu Bei found himself facing a completely new situation.

Therefore, after the initial partition was over and the situation initially stabilized, Liu Bei planned and decided to carry out a large-scale military reorganization in Luoyang.

He wanted to fundamentally reverse the small-scale and public security warfare pattern of the Eastern Han Central Army.

The small-scale and moderated public security warfare of the Central Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty are embodied in the Northern Army.

The Northern Army was composed of five armies, and the original number of these five armies was relatively small, on average, each army was more than 2,000 people, which was more in line with the mentality of the Han government, which tended to be more and more in a state of small-scale public security warfare since the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Since the middle and late periods, the government of the Eastern Han Dynasty has become more and more disliked and not good at the joint operations of large corps, and even lost the ability to command the joint operations of large corps and the training system of generals, which is a very bad thing.

There was a big war that needed to be fought, but the Han government could not fight it, did not dare to fight, and always hoped to solve the problem in the form of a small-scale public security war.

Finally, Liu Hong decided to let go of his hands and fight, and organized more than 30,000 cavalry to go north wildly, wanting to clean up the arrogant Tanshi Huai, but the result was [win the cangist north].

That battle had already exposed the drawbacks of the Han army's long-term indulgence in small-scale law and order warfare instead of fighting the joint operations of the orthodox large corps.

Therefore, Liu Bei's idea of army building is aimed at the idea of joint operations of large corps, abandoning the thinking of public security warfare of small fights and small troubles, and if you want to fight, you will fight with a dog's brain.

Therefore, the size of the armed forces must be expanded, the structure of the armed forces must be expanded, and the enhancement of military strength must be accompanied by the enhancement of the status and power of officers.

This is something that the administrative and financial systems do not like, that the bureaucrats do not like, that hinders their interests, but that it is the only way for the country to be reborn.

Therefore, in the idea of military reform in Luoyang, Liu Bei decided to make a major change and change all the small family anger of the Eastern Han government limited to economic and political reasons.

He wanted to carry forward his power and prestige as a great general, expand the army, and enhance his military prestige.

During the Liangzhou period, Liu Bei only stipulated the battalion-level structure of the army, and when it came to large-scale operations, he basically personally led the battalion-level formation to fight, and there was no higher formal structure.

The main reason is that his subordinates at that time did not have high merit and good military literacy, and they needed a period of conquest and growth to accumulate experience and enhance their personal ability.

At present, the generals under his command have gradually grown up, and gradually have the ability to command independently, and their performance on the battlefield is also quite good.

Moreover, in terms of cultural literacy, through the mandatory promotion examination stipulated by Liu Bei, the basic cultural level of the army generals has also been comprehensively improved, and the guys who have been educated in prenatal education have basically achieved cultural self-transcendence through his strong requirements.

Therefore, from the perspective of the generals' own culture and military literacy, as well as their actual accumulated military experience and meritorious achievements, there are already a considerable number of generals who can break away from Liu Bei's direct command and truly take charge of themselves.

Therefore, an important part of the plan for military reform in Luoyang is to establish a military-level structure and establish a formal military-level structure at and above the battalion level.

In the middle of the battle, Liu Bei would try to use the military-level structure to observe and train the ability of military generals.

He can't go out on his own as soon as he has something, he is now a general, except for enemies of great political significance such as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, or major events such as the Northern Expedition to the grassland, he can't let any little thief go out in person.

Therefore, changes to the army and generals must be initiated from now on.

On the tenth day after the end of the coup, Liu Bei convened his subordinates to discuss and set up a military reform plan in Luoyang, and decided to implement it as soon as possible.

This military reorganization is not only an increase in the number of military levels, but also the original battalion-level structure Liu Bei also plans to make some small changes.

A battalion of 3,000 men was commanded by a lieutenant.

The battalion has three divisions, each with 1,000 people, and is led by the military commander.

The subordinate has five songs, each with 200 people, and is led by military marquis.

Liu Bei, the original tun-level structure under the department, decided to cancel it and directly entered the team system.

There are four teams for each song, with 50 people in each team, and a captain is in charge.

There are only five chiefs under the team, ten people each, and then the establishment of the team will be directly abolished.

The battalion is officially established at the military level, and a full-time lieutenant general is set up to command.

Each army has three battalions, and in addition to the three battalions, there will also be a 1,000-strong Zhonglang general directly under the cavalry department, which is equivalent to the full strength of an army of 10,000 people.

Although Liu Bei attaches great importance to cavalry, the main force of the army is still infantry, and an army with only cavalry is incomplete.

Therefore, except for the specially set cavalry corps, the other armies are multi-arm mixed armies, with sword and shield men, spearmen, and crossbowmen, which can undertake most combat missions, not just assault missions.

For the more than 70,000 troops currently under Liu Bei's control, Liu Bei is ready to carry out a wave of selection and reorganize them.

In this process, he had to complete the professionalization and expansion of the Central Army and the integration of the Liangzhou Army.

He is a great general, and the army under his command should not be a local army, but a national army, and it should also become the Central Han Army.

The regular establishment of the Central Han Army in his hands is the Northern Army, the Tiger Army, and the Yulin Army, and these three official formations are concerned.

And this is clearly not enough.

Therefore, on the twentieth day after the end of the coup, Liu Bei officially went to the table to carry out a comprehensive reorganization of the Central Han Army.

While retaining the military numbers of the Tiger Ben Army and the Yulin Army, the number of the Northern Army was removed for the Northern Army, and the five battalions under its jurisdiction were reorganized into five armies.

He reorganized the Yuecai Battalion into the Shence Army, the Tuncai Battalion into the Tianxing Army, the Infantry Battalion into the Xiaoguo Army, the Shooting Battalion into the Xuanjia Army, and the Changshui Battalion into the Yingyang Army.

In this way, the Central Han Army was reorganized into seven armies, in addition to the palace guards in Luoyang City, the captain of the city gate, and the Xiyuan Army, the other seven armies were reorganized into the main force of the Central Han Army.

If you enter, you will protect the Son of Heaven, and when you go out, you will conquer the world, demonstrating the military might of the Han army.

Regarding Liu Bei's request for reorganization, the government and the opposition have different opinions.

Most of the officials of the modern literary school were opposed, feeling that it would waste a lot of money and would not do any good to the precarious finances of the Han Empire, and that the original supervision system would be ineffective after the reorganization of the army, and that it would not be safe for the army to belong to and command and rely on Liu Bei for its operations.

The officials of the ancient literature school basically supported it, feeling that the previous Hedong crisis had fully demonstrated the weakness and incompetence of the central Han army, and that the strong Han army in the past was so weak that even the bandits could not be pacified, which was absolutely humiliating in their opinion.

Aren't they worried about a second Hedong crisis?

And, security?

Liu Bei, as a member of the Han family, a general, and the first auxiliary minister, do you say - safety?

Is this a joke peculiar to today's literary school?

The struggle between the two sides broke out again, and the water in the court became more and more muddy, and the discussion on the formation of the army was really taken out of the rhythm.

Among the four auxiliary ministers with actual power, Zhang Rang supported Liu Bei's opinion, Jian Shuo gave up the discussion, and Dong Chong raised objections, believing that doing so would cost too much money, and the central government could not support Liu Bei's plan to reorganize and expand the army.

Liu Bei made no concessions to this, stated the interests and disadvantages, and was speechless to Dong Chong's refutation, and proposed that he should invest part of the funds obtained from the salt affairs into the army to subsidize the lack of finance.

Dong Zhong had nothing to say about this, so he could only bow his head and acquiesce - he was reluctant to pay for the army by himself, Liu Bei was a big dog, a general, and he was willing to pay, he had no choice.

As a result, with the support of the majority of the people, Liu Bei's plan for the reorganization and expansion of the Central Army was approved.

After recognition, just do what you say, Liu Bei's actions are always super fast.
