Huo Guang used this method to arrange the sons and nephews of the Fan Huo family into the Han army, and then mastered the Han army.

Fortunately, Liu's mandate of heaven has not changed, and the soldiers of the Han army still believe in the "Edict of the Son of Heaven", so they did not let him succeed.

On the original historical line, in the late Han Dynasty, although the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan and the local governor only had the right to command the army, where did they need a tiger charm to mobilize the army?

During the reform of the court last month, Liu He turned the Great Sima into a Sima, lowering the status of the official and eliminating the possibility of "Sima" seizing military power.

Now, Liu He has implemented the recruitment system, and the number of recruits in the army will increase, and the time spent in the military academy will also become longer.

In this way, it will be easier for the captain who directly commands the army to accumulate prestige and turn the soldiers into his own personal troops.

Liu He's prestige is on the rise, and his prestige is inferior to him, whether it is a lieutenant or a general.

But in the future, with the change of monarchy, young monarchs will inevitably encounter senior generals and captains, and military power is likely to be sidelined.

In order to let the monarch and the ministers have a "good end", Liu He wants to add a second lock to the Han army, that is, to divide the Han army into a different system.

Avoid a few people being able to master all the Han army.

At this point, the first emperors of the Han Dynasty have paved a way for Liu He.

And Emperor Xiaowu took this matter to the extreme: dividing the main force of the Han army into several units that were not subordinate to each other.

For example, the main Han forces in the Sanfu region were divided into the Southern Army, the Northern Army, and the Patrol City Pavilion.

Among them, the southern army is divided into Bingwei, Qimenlang, Yulinlang and Che Cavalry Captain; The Northern Army was divided into eight lieutenants; Zhijinwu also has to rule over thousands of patrol city guards.

These three armies are not subordinate to each other, and their areas of defense and combat missions are also different.

Through this "divide and rule" measure, the possibility of "collusion" of the Han army can be avoided.

In the Witch Gu Rebellion, the prince Liu Ju, with the assistance of Empress Wei, could only mobilize part of the guards, and the rest of the southern and northern armies still only looked at the tiger talisman.

In last year's cholera, Huo Guang was in charge of the center for more than ten years, and he only mastered part of the northern and southern armies, which also allowed Liu He to turn the tables at a critical juncture.

Cutting the Han army into fine pieces and letting the various departments monitor each other is the second shackle that Liu He wants to build today.

"Last year's cholera, the Southern and Northern armies suffered the most damage, and it was not easy to restore the old system immediately......

"Therefore, it is better to disrupt the establishment, retain the name of the army, and reorganize the new army, but there can be a new atmosphere."

Liu He finally "saw the poor dagger" and talked about a new issue.

After Zhang Anshi and the others listened, they continued to look back at the "Armed Preparedness Meeting", and soon found the column of "Han Army Establishment".

Under the explanation of the Son of Heaven, they slowly read backwards.

"From today onwards, the Han army is divided into garrison and expeditionary army."

"The garrison is the main defender, and the patrol guards of the cities, the guards of the palaces, and the gates of the government offices are all classified in this category."

"The main field attack of the expeditionary army, the southern army, the northern army, the national soldiers of various counties and the border county tunnel soldiers, all belong to this category."

"The number of soldiers in the counties and border counties in various counties has remained unchanged for a long time, with large counties having a large number of soldiers and small counties having few soldiers, and distributing them according to their needs."

"The Southern Army includes four armies, Yulin Lang, Qi Menlang, Chang Yi Lang and Che Cai Du Lieutenant, each army is divided into three captains on the left, middle and right, a total of twelve captains."

"The Northern Army has also increased from the original eight captains to twelve captains."

"In this way, the southern army and the northern army each have 30,000 people, and their strength is equal, and they can form a counterbalance."

"The two armies together have 60,000 elites, and they can also meet the needs of soldiers."

"If the war is urgent, and then the county soldiers are replenished, and there are recruits as the backbone, it can also be expanded rapidly, and it is more than enough to deal with it."

After Liu He's adjustment, the originally stronger Southern Army was weakened, and the two armies were more balanced.

Captains on either side gather to cause trouble, and the other side can confront them.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the southern army and the northern army will collude together to conspire against the rebellion.

But it was too difficult to twist the twenty-four lieutenants into a rope. When that day really comes, the number of Dahan's qi will come to an end.

"In order to prevent the lieutenant from turning the personnel of the department into a private army, all the lieutenants are rotated every five years."

"The first five years of the lieutenant served as a lieutenant in the Southern Army, and in the next five years, he must be appointed as a lieutenant in the local area, and he can be rotated back to the Southern Army after another five years."

"If the prince is promoted to captain, he cannot serve in the battalion, and must rotate with others."

……

Liu He led the scholars to read them down one by one, and the entire ten regulations were all used for the local lieutenant's remaining military camp.

The "Lieutenant Rotation Law" is more cumbersome than the "Three Mutual Laws" that must be followed in the promotion of magistrates.

However, Zhang Anshi and others didn't think that the Son of Heaven was making a big fuss.

As courtiers, they also don't want a powerful minister who specializes in military power in the Han Dynasty, which is also a threat to them.

Just like a few months ago, not only were the Son of Heaven worried about the rebels attacking Chang'an City, but they were also worried.

After more than an hour, the item of "Han army establishment" was finally finished, and Zhang Anshi and others basically understood the intention of the Son of Heaven.

Especially Han Zeng and Zhao Chongguo, they listened very carefully.

As generals who will lead troops in the future, they must know this well, otherwise they will not only not be able to lead the soldiers well, but they may also touch the taboo of the Son of Heaven.

"When the troops are dispatched, I will select the generals to lead the troops and plan the specific things of the expedition."

"Although the generals are not allowed to open their offices as before, they can hire less than 30 subordinates in the government as their staff for use."

"No!" Zhao Chongguo and Han Zeng hurriedly answered.

Immediately afterwards, it entered the third part of the Han Army restructuring - "Han Army Ordnance".

Liu He partially upgraded the equipment of the Han army.

The blades were all forged from 100 steel, the cavalry was equipped with saddles, strainers, and horseshoes, and the infantry cavalry was equipped with rockets equipped with gunpowder, and the new drill code was used......

When the noon chime bell came, a copy of "Armed Preparedness" was told by Liu He from beginning to end.

The next process is very simple, first the cabinet will form an edict on the matters agreed on today, and then send it to the relevant government offices such as Sima Mansion, Dasi Nong, Shaofu and Shui Heng Duwei to carry it out.

A set of processes, their own system.

"You Aiqing must read through the "Martial Arts Meeting" as soon as possible, and then advance one by one, I hope that this battle in September will be the last battle against the Huns."

"No!"

Seeing that everyone responded in unison, Liu He was very satisfied.

It can even be said that it is complacent.

Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and this is a universal truth.

Once the Han army completes the restructuring, the old relationship network in the army will be completely broken, and Liu He will have a Han army with extremely strong combat power.

Only then can a more drastic New Deal be implemented.

……

As the news of the restructuring of the Han army spread, many people's lives changed.

The north city of Chang'an City, Ping'an Lijia Lu.

Zhang San, the second shopkeeper of Xianheng Restaurant, was carrying a roast duck and walked forward with a heavy heart.

He was worried about things in his heart, and he had even more words on his lips, as if he was thinking about how to speak when he met Guan Er.

This roast duck is a popular food in Chang'an City after the beginning of spring, and it is said that it also came from the palace.

The recipe for roasting duck is so complicated that it even involves building a large vertical stove with bricks and stones, which is specially roasted.

After the stove is built, the duck is not just put in and can be roasted, but it must be marinated with various spices before being baked in the stove.

Even the charcoal for the roast duck is made from the trunk of a pear tree, and it is said that this fruit charcoal is used to roast the duck to bring the aroma of fruit wood.

Not only is the process of roasting duck extremely complicated, but the way to eat the duck is also very particular, with a very thin cake to roll up the duck, shallots and cucumber strips and eat them with sauce.

The price of such a special duck is naturally expensive, and one will be sold for more than 100 yuan, which is enough to buy a bunch of corn.

Duck is very expensive, but good people are flocking to it, and the people of Chang'an City are proud to be able to eat roast duck at the family banquet.

Because the cooking process is cumbersome, it is not something that can be made casually by ordinary small shops, and now there is only one roast duck restaurant in Chang'an City.

The person who opened this restaurant was also the old man who the Son of Heaven brought Chang'an City from Changyi - it was Zhang Laofei and her young son Heifu.

The Son of Heaven was merciful, and not only gave them a recipe, but also gave them a resounding name for their restaurant, called "Quanjude".

The people of Chang'an City didn't know the meaning and weight of these three words, but they all praised the name for being good, and they were even more envious of the good luck of the Heifu family.

Eating Quanjude's roast duck, drinking the Xuanjiu of Xianheng Wine Shop, and reading the "Hadith Canon" of the Son of Heaven have become the "three tastes" of Chang'an City.

Although Zhang San is the second shopkeeper of Xianheng Liquor Store, his monthly income is higher than that of ordinary people.

But because he has been thrifty since childhood, this roast duck is rarely bought, and at most he can buy a roast chicken from other restaurants to satisfy his cravings.

Today, he bought such an unprecedented one, which was naturally used as a gift for his visit.

Zhang San walked in the alley with his head down, thinking about the troubles in his heart, and he didn't say a word.

He didn't notice at all that a few thin, quick-nosed dogs were following him, eager to try their hand at the roast duck.

When they reached a remote corner, the thin dogs finally couldn't hold it anymore, and howled and pounced on it, ready to snatch the roast duck.

Fortunately, Zhang San finally came back to his senses, and in this desperate loom, he suddenly lifted the roast duck, making the fine dog pounce.

Zhang Sanchao, who was already in an unhappy mood, was furious and cursed several words at the group of fine dogs.

For a while, he felt that he was not relieved enough, so he picked up a few broken tiles from the ground and threw them at the group of thin dogs who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

After all the dogs had fled with their tails between their legs, he cursed and continued to walk on.

Not long after, Zhang San came to the alley where the old brother Guan Er lived.

Before he could walk over, he saw that the entrance of Guan Er's house was full of people, and his face was full of schadenfreude that only when he watched the excitement.

Occasionally, noises and curses could be heard coming from the house.

Zhang San didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly trotted all the way over, squeezed a crack in the crowd, and came to the front yard.

As soon as he saw the scene in the courtyard, he already understood eight or nine points in his heart.

Guan Er, who was like an iron tower, stood under the eaves with a red face, and in his trembling hand he was still holding a stick with a thick cup, and he looked like he had just gone crazy.

The aunt of the Guan family and the two daughters of the Guan family, who were also tall and strong, knelt on the side, they should have just cried, and there were still tear stains on their cheeks at this time.

Guan Er's seventeen-year-old only son, Guan Kuang, poked his head high in the courtyard, clenched his fists without saying a word, and there were five finger red marks on his face, obviously having been beaten.

The Guan family is different from the Zhang family, the Zhang family has three sons, while the Guan family has only one son.

Although Guan Er is not so doting on Guan Kuang, he definitely values it very much.

Zhang San and Guan Er have known each other for decades, and they have watched Guan Kuang grow up, and they have not seen Guan Er beat Guan Kuang.

Today is so abnormal, there must be something "extraordinary" happening.

"Second Brother Guan, what's going on today, why do you want to do it?" Zhang San came to Guan Er and asked.

"It's not this erection, you have to me off to death!" Guan Er said angrily.

"Guan Kuang, what bastard did you do to make your old father look like this, why don't you kneel down and plead guilty!?"

Zhang San hurriedly walked in front of Guan Kuang again, pulled the other party's sleeve, and scolded half-truthfully.

"I'm just going to join the army, what's wrong, why do you have to ask for guilt!?" Guan Kuangfen said without concession, and raised his head a little higher.

"Look at it, this shaft is simply unfilial, if you don't kill it, you still have to do it!" Guan Er said angrily, holding a stick to make a gesture to rush over, but Zhang San hurriedly stopped him.

The idlers and neighbors gathered at the gate of the courtyard saw that there were waves in the courtyard again, and they suddenly became energetic again, and pointed at the Guan family members in the courtyard with a smile.

"Second Brother Guan, dissipate your anger and eliminate your anger, there are many people with mixed eyes, don't lose face because of this shaft!" Zhang San blocked Guan Er and whispered.

"Guan Kuang, if you don't help your mother to the backyard, I really want to be angry with your mother!" Zhang San turned to Guan Kuang again, and kept winking.

Finally, Guan Kuang wiped a handful of half-dried tears and snot, and prepared to help his mother to the backyard with his two sisters to take refuge.

Zhang San handed the roast duck and food box to the two daughters of the Guan family, and then came to the door of the house and persuaded those who were watching the excitement away.

It wasn't until the thin courtyard door was closed that Zhang San half-pulled Guan Er back to the main hall and sat on the couch.

"Second brother, the third generation of the Guan family is a single heir, and now Guan Kuang is the only seedling, is it possible for you to really beat him to death?" Zhang San was the main anti-guest and poured a cup of tea for Guan Er.

Without outsiders to watch the excitement, Guan Er's temper finally took back, he sighed, and drank the herbal tea.

"Alas, are you willing to beat him like this? But if this erector has to go to the army, isn't he going to die? It is better to die under the Huns than to die in my hands! ”

When Guan Er said this, he threw the stick in his hand to the ground fiercely, and the stick bounced off several times before rolling in the direction of the door very unwillingly.
