Han Shizu

Chapter 288 The beginning of the military reform
On Liu Chengyou's side, whether Nie Wenjin can make any changes is still a question mark, but I only hope that after his intimidation and deterrence, he can really restrain himself, otherwise, if he can kill Guo Yunming, he will not miss Nie Wenjin.

For the same Yuan Cong Xungui, the same law, more people impeached Nie Wenjin, but Liu Chengyou's handling attitude was quite different.Although Nie Wenjin was demoted, he still had the right to know the affairs of the Tongjun state, and became the No. 1 official of the Han Dynasty to try out the system of knowing the state, which can barely be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

The reason why the results are so different is that the nature of the two crimes is different.Guo Yunming is regarded as the emperor's private minister and family slave, but what he does is to despise the monarch's power and disregard the monarch's prestige.

Now at the time when Liu Chengyou is establishing his majesty and strengthening the monarchy, in Liu Chengyou's place, the crime of deceiving the emperor is temporarily more serious than everything else.

The crimes committed by Nie Wenjin are also common faults in civil and military affairs of the time. Relatively speaking, they are not so "serious" in nature. Before that, Liu Zhiyuan connived, and Liu Chengyou tolerated them after he came to the throne.

Up to now, Liu Chengyou has begun to rectify the unhealthy tendencies in the court. The killing of Guo Yunming and the relegation of Nie Wenjin are just the beginning.

The emperor's poisonous hand, Guo and Nie were killed and demoted, the effect was remarkable, for a while, the internal and external courts were all in awe.Judging from the identities and positions of the two, it is also just right, and has an extremely intuitive deterrent effect on the upper and lower dignitaries.

But in the palace, those close ministers of the emperor, such as treasury envoys, flying dragon envoys, pavilion envoys, and Lubo envoys, all restrained their actions with changes visible to the naked eye. Guo Yunming's death had the greatest impact on them. of.Since Emperor Gaozu, among the court officials, who is more favored than Guo Shi?

In the next three or two days, the outer court successively punished more than a dozen honorable or dereliction of duty officials.This is the first time since Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, the bureaucratic system of the big man has been stabbed.

Inside the Hall of Renming, Liu Chengyou paid his respects every day, and personally supported Mrs. Li to walk among the gardens, surrounded by a bleak scene.The snow in the past two days was really just an accident. After the snow melted, the weather became colder and colder.

"Although there are not many people in the palace, but recently, the palace seems too cold and lonely." Looking at the scene of autumn mourning everywhere, Li said to Liu Chengyou with a hint of emotion.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou had a calm expression on his face, and softly echoed: "Since ancient times, autumn has been so lonely, mother, you are hurt by the scene."

"I'm getting old!" Li's tone of sigh was stronger.

Seeing this, after walking a few steps, Liu Chengyou asked directly: "What makes mother so sad?"

Fengmu cast a sideways glance at Liu Chengyou, turned his head, pondered for a while, and sighed, Mrs. Li said: "Yesterday, the old man called Guo Yunming's wife and wife into the palace, weeping uncontrollably, hearing it was quite sad, and I couldn't help crying!"

Hearing what Li said, Liu Chengyou's brows were subconsciously furrowed, thinking about the Queen Mother's intentions.Guo Yunming killed them all, and Li Shi must have considered it when he said this again.

Seeing Liu Chengyou's expression, Mrs. Li continued: "Guo Yunming has been serving the left and right since the time of the first emperor Longqian. He has served him for a long time, but he is also sincere. Now he is punished by the law of the country, leaving orphans and widows with nothing to rely on. It’s inevitable to have some compassion.”

The Empress Dowager looked sentimental. As a filial son, Liu Chengyou certainly felt distressed. Before he could think about it, he said immediately: "Guo Yunming violated the laws of the country, and I can't tolerate it. However, I think it's hard work for him to serve the late emperor. Well, his wife, I am Raise it, and reward it with money and food from the internal funds, and when the son grows up, he will be an official!"

Faced with Liu Chengyou's statement, Li was finally satisfied, quickly revealed the matter, and discussed Liu Chengxun's matter with Liu Chengyou.The queen mother also hesitated about whether to let the third child out of the palace to open the mansion.

And with Liu Chengyou's kindness to Guo Yunming's wife and children, although this small rectification turmoil has not completely stopped, people's hearts have gradually stabilized.

Liu Chengyou, also belatedly, understood the Queen Mother's intentions.This mother is always so wise and kind, thinking of him.

Although Liu Chengyou acted in the name of national discipline and law and severely punished Guo, Nie and others, he still could not avoid the reputation of treating the old ministers harshly, even if they should be killed and punished. Such is the mood of the times.

But the subsequent grace to his wife and children can more or less eliminate the invisible resentment in the court. After all, it is the emperor's "benevolence" to be able to do this.

Empress Dowager Li obviously noticed that Liu Chengyou has become more impatient in governing affairs recently.The matter of rectifying the forbidden army has only just begun, and they can't wait to adjust the political style.

The atmosphere in the Privy Council became more solemn. If Nie Wenjin was as arrogant as Nie Wenjin, he was already on his way west to Tongzhou.And as Wang Jun entered the government office, his subordinates were even more oppressed and did not dare to take a breather.

Since Liu Chengyou returned to the capital, apart from daily affairs, the members of the Privy Council have only one thing: to organize the army.

Prime Minister Guo Wei took the lead, and the senior generals headed by Shang Hongqian from the Guards Department had already met for several rounds of discussions. In the midst of constant disputes and compromises, they finally perfected a draft plan for reorganizing the army.

In the hall, Liu Chengyou came to inspect it in person, and held the second imperial meeting on the matter of reorganizing the army.Putting the location here means that it is the platform of the Privy Council, which is obvious.

The Privy Council is dominated by Guo Wei, Wang Jun, and Wei Renpu, and there are more people in the bodyguard department, such as Shang Hongqian, Guojiu Sanli (Li Hongxin, Li Hongwei, Li Hongjian), Sun Li, Ma Quanyi, Han Tong, Wang Quanbin, Du Hanhui, etc. Senior commander.

In front of Liu Chengyou, there was an album of the whole army, and he was studying it by himself.At the bottom, Wang Jun was standing, full of vigor and high spirits, and he spoke out the army plan very clearly. It seemed that he was explaining it to Liu Chengyou, but in fact he was explaining it to the generals of the Forbidden Army present at the meeting.Before this imperial meeting, the proposals for reorganizing the army submitted by the Privy Council were all perfected under the guidance of Liu Chengyou, and the emperor had a lot of private goods.

"In front of the palace, there are two armies of horses and infantry. The horse army uses iron cavalry as its horn, and the infantry army uses crane control as its horn. The iron cavalry army has ten thousand cavalry under its jurisdiction, and is divided into ten armies and twenty commanders on the left and right sides. To supplement them; under the control of the crane army, set up the three armies of Neidianzhi, Longqi, and Xiaodi, weed out the old and the weak, and select the strong and strong to supplement them. The number of troops is [-]."

"Under the Guards Division, the horse army uses Long Jie as its bugle, and the infantry uses Hu Jie as its bugle. The Long Jie Army is under the jurisdiction of the Iron Cavalry Army. Under the Tiger Jie Army, there are Wu Jie, Xing Jie, Hu Sheng, and Feng Guo. The Fourth Army and the rest of the military titles will all be dismissed, and the number of soldiers will be [-]."

Wang Jun introduced the general situation. The generals who heard it for the first time couldn't help but change their expressions. Although the details have not been reported yet, it can be seen from his description that this time the army is being reorganized.

Prior to this, the Tokyo Forbidden Army of the Great Han Dynasty had a total of about 140,000 people including the miscellaneous names of various armies.Among them, almost [-] died, who had been stationed in Huazhou, Chanzhou and Yedu, a famous prefecture, for a long time.

For the rest, there are more than 10,000 troops in Xijing, Sishui, Zhengzhou and other important places in Gyeonggi.Those who are actually stationed in Tokyo are only in the early [-]s.This rectification focused on the Imperial Army in Tokyo. According to Wang Jun's report, counting the selection of elites from other states to enter Beijing, at least [-] soldiers would have to be laid off, and I'm afraid it would be more than that.

And the newly established Dianqian Division is somewhat powerful.The original Crane Control Army and the inner palace belonged directly to them, and then the two most powerful troops under the guards, Xiao Di and Long Qi, were allocated to them. decline.

Liu Chengyou didn't respond, and still stared at the album. Seeing this, Wang Jun continued to report on the specific steps of reorganizing the army, starting with the establishment of the structure of the Dianqian Division, and first of all, the reorganization of the original Inner Dianzhi and the Crane Army.
