Chapter 137 Reorganization

Liu Chengyou was very obedient, and behaved very freely. He said he was allowed to rest and recuperate, so he stayed in the mansion honestly, relieving the exhaustion and pressure of half a year of fighting, and he behaved very peacefully.

Abandoning all the military and political affairs, I study, practice calligraphy, martial arts, and enrich myself in the mansion every day. Just like in Jinyang, I go to the palace every morning and evening to greet my mother Li Shi, and return to the mansion as usual. For love, he also reclaimed a piece of land in the garden in the mansion, destroyed the original flowers and plants, and planted some small vegetables.Very laid back, at least on the surface.

However, secretly, Liu Chengyou never let go of paying attention to the government affairs, state affairs, Gyeonggi and even the world situation.

In the early morning, when the morning light was still hazy and the mist had not completely dissipated, Liu Chengyou was already in the Hall of Renming, paying his respects to Mrs. Li.In the hall, there are daily scenes of motherly kindness and filial piety.

"Come on, try it, does it fit?" Mrs. Li personally took out a brocade robe and put it on for Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou behaved humbly and filially, allowing Li Shi to act on him.Knowing that Liu Chengyou likes plain colors, the gray brocade that Mrs. Li deliberately selected was embroidered with some silver-white patterns of mountains, seas, flowers and birds, which looked very delicate.

"Your Highness, these patterns are all embroidered by the empress herself." A female officer serving on the side said to Liu Chengyou.

"The thread in the hands of a loving mother." Hearing this, Liu Chengyou immediately flattered Mrs. Li: "Mother is really ingenious, and your craftsmanship is really ingenious."

Mrs. Li couldn't help giving Liu Chengyou a blank look. Now that Liu Chengyou said some sweet words, she was no stranger to it.Taking two steps back to look at the overall effect, Feng frowned: "It's a bit too big, take it off, and I'll change it."

"No, it's just right." Liu Chengyou stretched out his hands and said softly, "After another year, it will fit snugly."

"Breakfast is ready." The servant came to report.

Liu Chengyou clasped his fists at Mrs. Li: "My son deliberately didn't eat breakfast, and I'm going to spend another meal with you."

"I prepared your bowls and chopsticks." Li reached out and tapped Liu Chengyou's forehead gently.

After eating a bowl of porridge, Li Shifeng glanced at Liu Chengyou, and asked casually: "How are you resting in the mansion these few days?"

Liu Chengyou replied: "Very good, the exhaustion of conquest has been exhausted."

"The government told you to recuperate, so you should recuperate well. Don't be anxious and feel depressed. The country is just established, and a lot of waste is waiting to be rejuvenated. You, father and son, need to work together to make it prosperous."

Hearing what Li Shi said, Liu Chengyou couldn't help raising his head, and looked at her in surprise, only to see her mother's graceful face, with a natural expression, a soft smile on the corner of her mouth, but those loving eyes were somewhat deep.

"Yes!" Swallowing the pastry in his mouth, Liu Chengyou replied softly.But I couldn't help guessing in my heart, did my mother suddenly say this, was it her own idea, or was it Liu Zhiyuan's instruction to comfort herself?
After resigning from Mrs. Li, someone from Chui Gong Hall came, and Liu Zhiyuan summoned him.By the way, Liu Chengyou went. On the way, he met Liu Chengxun who was also called.

The two brothers greeted each other and exchanged some pleasantries. Liu Chengyou looked at Liu Chengxun and asked, "Brother, how is your health?"

The autumn morning was indeed cool and the wind was blowing coldly, but it was not that cold.But Liu Chengxun was wrapped in a thick robe and covered his head, as if he couldn't stand the wind.

Liu Chengxun's physical condition is obviously not very good. There was a strange rosiness on his fair and handsome face. He tightened his robe and replied with a smile: "It's not a serious problem, it's just a general injury. I have been prescribed by the imperial doctor." After taking the medicine, it has improved a lot.”

Observing Liu Chengxun's expression, Liu Chengyou frowned slightly, and reminded: "Brother, don't be too tired. You can leave the affairs of refugees to the officials below, and you don't need to travel so hard."

"No problem." Liu Chengxun waved his hand.

These days, Liu Chengxun was basically busy dealing with the problem of refugees in the Gyeonggi area, and he still got some support from Liu Zhiyuan. In the Zhengzhou area, an area was designated for the implementation of official settlements.He also recommended Liu Shenjiao, the former envoy of the three divisions, as the governor of Zhengzhou and the envoy of Yingtian, responsible for implementing policies.

This time, Liu Chengxun used the right person. Liu Shenjiao is more than seventy years old, but this person is old and strong, and has outstanding political ability.In this chaotic era, every event is handled with care, and the government and the people praise it for kindness.With Liu Shenjiao's implementation of the matter, it was very smooth and orderly. Even if life was difficult, with such a clean and kind old man as an example, he could still calm people's hearts.

As for Liu Chengxun, he devoted himself to it, and from time to time he went west to Zhengzhou to check the situation.Seeing the effect there, I heard that Liu Chengxun has already planned to start other areas.It seemed that Liu Chengxun was in a hurry.

Seeing that Liu Chengxun didn't care much about it, Liu Chengyou didn't persuade him any more. He was half a body behind, and the two of them went hand in hand, and asked casually, "Brother, do you know what the father is calling?"

Liu Chengxun turned his head to look at Liu Chengyou, his eyes twinkled slightly, he coughed twice, and said in an uncertain tone: "It should be about the whole army."

Recently, the military administration of the Han court has focused on two things, one is the transfer of various festivals, and the other is the rectification of the forbidden army.The relocation of festivals is still under discussion. Who and when to transfer are not particularly important, but the rectification of the forbidden army is a matter at hand. Even, only when the forbidden army is purged, can the Han court spare energy to deal with the situation in various places. The town adjusts.

In the Chuigong Hall, Privy Envoy Yang Bin, Deputy Envoy Guo Wei, Third Division Envoy Wang Zhang, and Commander-in-Chief Shi Hongzhao of the Forbidden Army were present.Liu Zhiyuan was reading the final reorganization regulations, while Shi Hongzhao personally reported to him.

"The bodyguard division dismounted the horse infantry according to the previous example, and set up two armies to protect the saint and serve the country. The two armies were divided into horse and infantry. The army of the previous dynasty, the two armies of Guangrui and Sandutou, and the rest were like Xingguo and Weishun. , Zhongwei, Xingshun, Crossbowmen, Zongshun and other armies were not full of soldiers, and all the schools were left empty, and all were abolished, and the soldiers and horses were merged into the new army. The remaining ones were abolished and merged into the three armies. In addition, the ministers discussed taking young and strong men from the army to form a new army, thinking that it was the essence of the forbidden army. After the above-mentioned armies of all sizes are full, the remaining ones will set up another small army, and the military number will be placed under the jurisdiction of the Guards Division All armies, after the rectification is over, the Mabu Army counts 110,000 soldiers."

"All the troops are deployed in front of the imperial city hall, and the three armies of Zhi, Sanyuan, and Guanhe are deployed along the inner hall, and a new army is set up, with a total of [-] soldiers and horses."

"."

After Shi Hongzhao gave Liu Zhiyuan a general introduction, he waited for his reaction. The memorandum has been revised and adjusted several times, and it is very detailed. The specific organization, troop allocation, and even the garrison area have been mentioned. Of course, the more important , with a list attached, which is the appointment of the generals of the armies after the reorganization is completed.

This army reorganization is basically a major digestion of the former Jin soldiers by the imperial court. The original Hedong generals were naturally retained, and they were somewhat promoted, but the transfer of personnel was too maneuverable.Shi Hongzhao and Guo Wei "impartially" drew up a list, waiting for Liu Zhiyuan's nod.

When the two brothers Liu Chengxun and Liu Chengyou met, Liu Zhiyun was watching seriously. From his expression, we can see that he should be very satisfied.

"The bodyguards have set up a new army, and the number of the army is small. The rest of the new army can be called the army number of Liang and Tang's forbidden army." Liu Zhiyuan picked up a pen and sketched on the memorial, and said in his mouth.

Then he stared at the list, looking very carefully. Among the senior officers of the Guards Division, Shi Hongzhao dared not show favoritism no matter how arrogant he was. And so on, they are all high on the list, and the last one is also an envoy of a large army.Liu Zhiyuan cared most about these people. As for the lower-level generals, he, the emperor, didn't need to care about them himself. At least, that's how Liu Zhiyuan saw it.

"Dalang, Erlang, this is the regulation for the entire army, come and see, what do you think?" Liu Zhiyuan said, looking up at the two brothers.

Liu Chengyou walked in low-key, stood respectfully, observed the situation in the hall from the corner of his eye, swept over Shi Hongzhao and Yang Bin, and then fell into meditation.After Liu Chengxun finished reading, Liu Chengyou just took over.

In fact, after the first draft of this military plan was completed, it flowed to the case of Liu Chengyou, and we basically understood its content.After skimming through it, the focus was on the Longqi Army.

The Longqi Three Steps One Horse Fourth Army in Beijing only left Ma Quanyi's first army and reorganized it based on it. It governed [-] people.

The rest are treated in the same way, but they are merged into other guards.In particular, Han Tong led an army of horsemen, all of which were assigned to the Holy Guard. (The two armies of Guardian and Fengguo are respectively guards and horses, and infantry bugles, which belong to the military bugle. The troops below are Longqi, Wujie, Xingjie and other troops)

"Very good. The two generals Shi and Guo have arranged the organization properly." This was Liu Chengxun's answer. His eyes only stayed on the list for a while, as if he was looking for someone.

"My son has no objection." Liu Chengyou also answered Liu Zhiyuan happily, with no abnormality on his face.

Liu Zhiyuan showed a smile, and said to Shi and Guo: "Just according to this charter, reorganize the forbidden army, and I will inspect the new army in a month's time!"

"Yes!" The two agreed in unison.

The mood was obviously much better than before, Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Liu Chengyou, and said with a light smile: "Erlang, I heard that you are in the mansion recently, cultivating your health and cultivating your character, and you even cultivated the land yourself, which is very pleasant."

Not knowing what Liu Zhiyuan was planning, Liu Chengyou just responded calmly: "The importance of farming is the foundation of the country, so it is farming, and it makes sense. If you have such leisure, you will laugh at me."

Liu Zhiyuan laughed out loud, seemed to be really happy, and said to Liu Chengyou: "I can't let you have a leisurely time, you will enter the Privy Council tomorrow to deal with military affairs, and seal things up!"

"Yes!" Raising his eyebrows, Liu Chengyou bowed.

"Private Guo!" After resigning, Liu Chengyou took the initiative to find Guo Wei.

Guo Wei still had a modest attitude, and clasped his fists at Liu Chengyou: "Your Highness."

This was the first time Liu Chengyou had a direct exchange with Guo Wei after arriving in Kaifeng.After walking a few steps together, Liu Chengyou said in a calm tone: "For the matter of reorganizing the army, General Longqi depends on the protection of the Privy Council!"

When drafting the charter, Shi Hongzhao really saw that the Long Qi Army was unhappy, he was jealous, and he had an order, so he was partial to the arrangement of the Long Qi Army general.That is to say, Guo Wei took care of him from the sidelines, so as not to let him go too far. Therefore, although the Longqi army dispersed, the generals were still there.In this regard, Liu Chengyou knew it in his heart.

Hearing this, Guo Wei shook his head solemnly, and said to Liu Chengyou: "Longqi's generals are brave and strategic, and they are talented in commanding troops, and they have made meritorious service to the country. The subordinates are just acting out of a public heart and according to reason."

Hearing what Guo Wei said, Liu Chengyou's expression remained the same, and he said solemnly to him: "Soldiers of Longqi, follow me through life and death, I naturally hope that they can have a good future. Guo Shumi, of course, is out of public interest, but for me , this kindness, keep it in my heart."

Seeing Liu Chengyou's solemn expression, Guo Wei couldn't help but smile a little, and shook his head: "Your Highness is serious."

"Guo Rong doesn't seem to be seen in the list of officers?" Liu Chengyou raised the question in his mind without being entangled in this matter.

"This matter, I wanted Guo Rong to tell Your Highness personally!" Facing Liu Chengyou's puzzled eyes, Guo Wei said, "I'm not afraid of His Highness's jokes. I'm a bit selfish, and I intend to find a job vacancy for him."

"Oh?" Liu Chengyou became interested: "Where do you want to be?"

"Chanzhou."

"Chanzhou? This is an important place!" Liu Chengyou muttered, and couldn't help but glance at Guo Wei, only seeing his side face, and said leisurely: "My uncle Yanchao is not a good person to get along with. .”

After chatting for a few words, Guo Wei took the initiative and said to Liu Chengyou: "Your Highness, I have a merciless request."

"Talk!" Liu Chengyou raised his hand, a little curious in his heart.

"The next thing to do is to reorganize the army. Everything is complicated, and there is an urgent need for cadres who are familiar with military affairs. I heard that there is one of your assistants named Wei Renpu. , I am very keen on the matter of military warfare, I implore Your Highness to part with you, and temporarily borrow from the lower officials, what do you think?" Guo Wei expressed his intention with a smile.

His brows frowned all of a sudden, Wei Renpu is now the most important advisor under Liu Chengyou's command.Touching his chin, he thought about it for a while, raised his eyes and said relaxedly: "With the talent of Mr. Wei, I have long intended to recommend it, but I am afraid that others will say that I recommend it for personal reasons. If I am recommended by Privy Councilor Guo, then others will have nothing to do." There's more to talk about."

"However, Privy Councilor Guo, Mr. Wei's official position cannot be dismissed by a subordinate official like in the previous dynasty," Liu Chengyou said half-jokingly.

Guo Wei smiled and said: "The next day, I will recommend him to the Privy Council to accept the order!"

The privy secret order, although the official is not big, but the weight, in the privy council, can get in touch with the core military and political affairs.

Liu Chengyou was quite satisfied, but he didn't expect Guo Wei to "poach the wall", after all, he himself also served in the Privy Council.In fact, even without Guo Wei, he could still bring Wei Renpu into the Privy Council.But with Guo Wei, it is obviously easier, he is selling himself well.

The conversation between the two, unconsciously, seemed to be more harmonious.For Guo Wei, Liu Chengyou no longer had the "prejudice" that he had because of the "inherent impression" when he first came. After such a long time, Liu Chengyou has a clear enough understanding of the situation in the Han court.Compared with Yang Bin, Shi Hongzhao and others, he is really just a "younger brother". In terms of qualifications and prestige, he is not a threat to Liu Chengyou.

What's more, Guo Rong, the "No. [-] Mingjun of the Five Dynasties", has been using it as his confidant for several months, and he has used it very smoothly. Why should he worry about Guo Wei at this time?

Thinking about it, Liu Chengyou was really in a good mood when Guo Wei vaguely approached him.

PS: This chapter was very hard to write. The military system of the Five Dynasties was too messy. I wanted to write it in detail, but I was afraid that it would be more boring. I deleted, deleted, and changed it.The content is basically based on Du Wenyu's "Research on the System of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms".

　Thank you for being banned from the trumpet, my way is the heart, and YCW1215 for the reward.
