Han Shizu

Chapter 289
For the reorganization of the army, how to reorganize and how it is organized is of course very important, especially the formal establishment of the Dianqian Division, which almost confirms the situation in which the two yamen will stand side by side in the future. It is Liu Chengyou's ultimate intention to reorganize the army.

Of course, as far as the banning generals are concerned, what they care more about is their own gains and losses in the process.Such a large reorganization naturally represents a huge change and adjustment of military positions.The personnel arrangement for the whole army is the most important thing right now.

Wang Jun reported the situation of the current Tokyo Forbidden Army and the reorganization plans of each army. Sun Li, Ma Quanyi and other generals who commanded the army had doubts and explained them to them.For a while, in the Privy Council, Wang Jun became the protagonist.

After his narration was finished and all civil and military attention was devoted to him, the emperor, Liu Chengyou finally opened his golden mouth: "I am very satisfied with the plan for the whole army."

His tone paused, he looked around, his eyes were gloomy, and he said solemnly: "I want to emphasize again, the matter of reorganizing the army is imperative, and there is absolutely no objection, and no procrastination is allowed. You are all generals in the army. For the sake of the family, the country, the country, and the soldiers and soldiers, you should be brave in doing things, understand the meaning, and appease the hearts of the people! I encourage you all!"

"Yes!" No matter what thought was in his mind, he would positively express his stance in the face of Liu Chengyou's lecture.

"It's still the same sentence, the matter of reorganizing the army should be carried out steadily in accordance with the regulations, and the soldiers who are eliminated should be comforted and properly arranged!" Liu Chengyou's tone became more serious: "Three months! I want to reorganize the army within three months." The plan is initially completed!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, three months is enough!" It was Wang Jun again, standing up, very confident.

Liu Chengyou paid a little attention to Guo Wei's expression, but he couldn't see anything unusual, just let Wang Jun fully represent the opinions of the Privy Council.

Nodding his head calmly, Liu Chengyou said solemnly again: "As for the generals in front of the palace, I intend to set up a commander in front of the palace, a deputy commander in charge of the capital, and the Marquis of Duyu. Commander Shang Qing is the Commander-in-Chief of the Palace, and Li Hongxin, the Commander of the Deputy Guards, is the Commander of the Deputy Capital in front of the Palace, responsible for the formation of the Division in front of the Palace!"

Transferring the first and second in command of the current bodyguard department to the front department is Liu Chengyou's "pacification" of the generals headed by Shang Hongqian.

And let it be arranged, two people, two reactions, two expressions.Li Hongxin was puzzled in astonishment, according to his expectation, he would always be the head of the yamen and the guard department, and the chances were great, he never thought that Liu Chengyou would make such an arrangement.Li Hongxin probably had a hard time understanding that if he was in the army, he would only be the second child for the rest of his life.

Shang Hongqian was slightly surprised, and his face showed joy.After all, according to the plan, after the newly established army in front of the temple is successfully organized, it will gather the elite of the forbidden army, and then select the strong men of the world, which will be the most powerful force of the great man.

"I will do my best to repay Your Majesty!" Seeing the benefits, Shang Hongqian was so active for the first time.

In response to this, Liu Chengyou was indifferent.He was not at all worried about "temporarily entrusting" the Dianqian Division to this person, just look at the composition of the Dianqian Division.

The inner hall is straight, although there are not many troops, but the commander is Li Chongju, who was born as a bodyguard of Liu Chengyou.The newly formed army after the founding of the Han Dynasty was previously the largest army of guards, but after the Western Expedition, the middle and upper ranks will be rectified, and the two senior generals Zhou Hui and Wu Qianyu will also be transferred out, and now they are basically subdued by Liu Chengyou .As for the Long Qi Army, there is no need to mention it. This is Liu Chengyou's starting team, and it is trustworthy at any time.

If Shang Hongqian really had high enough political wisdom, he would have discovered that the transfer from the guards would actually break away from the "foundation".

The transfer of the guards will make it easier for Liu Chengyou to reform and adjust the guards.Although Liu Chengyou wanted to gather the elite of the Forbidden Army to build the front army, it didn't mean that the guard army would be abolished, he wanted the two armies to check and balance.The guard army in the target is still huge in strength, and the tens of thousands of forbidden troops stationed outside must be counted, and after eliminating the old and weak, the combat power should also be strengthened.

Seeing Shang Hongqian's appearance, he obviously didn't realize these deeper considerations.

Looking away, Liu Chengyou continued: "As for the bodyguard department, Bai Wenke, envoy of Xuanhui North Academy, will be the commander of the bodyguard capital, and Li Hongjianqian will be deployed in front of the palace as the deputy commander of the bodyguard capital!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Uncle Li Hongjian stood up and responded, also slightly pleased.

The appointment of Li Hongjian can be regarded as a reward for his contribution to suppressing the rebellion in the west, although this uncle, from the beginning to the end, was not too brilliant.

"The rest of the military post transfer arrangements will be discussed and reported by the Privy Council!" Liu Chengyou made the last and most important arrangement, scanning everyone with piercing eyes: "This time the army will be organized by Guo Qing!"

"Yes!"

Under this order, Wang Jun's complexion couldn't help but change. He was the one who made the preparations for the early stage regulations, but he was not the one who was "in charge". How could he be reconciled.However, dissatisfaction can only temporarily flow on the surface.

And according to Liu Chengyou's arrangement, most of the civil and military people below have no objection.Guo Wei's face was thoughtful, not only did he not feel the excitement of being appointed, but his face was solemn.

This time, the scale of Liu Chengyou's rectification of the forbidden army is much larger than that of Guo Rong's reorganization in the official history.

Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei, and the rest don't care.
As for the worry that Guo Wei would take the opportunity to expand his influence in the Forbidden Army and form a party to seize power, Liu Chengyou will take precautions, but not too much.

On the one hand, Liu Chengyou emphasized more that the Privy Council should play a role in this army reorganization. Guo Wei represents the authority of the Privy Council. Weaken the power of the general of the guards, and instead strengthen his emperor's control and influence over the imperial army.

After the imperial meeting, Liu Chengyou's rectification of the imperial army officially started.The various armies of the Tokyo Imperial Army will undergo changes in turn.

Regarding the formation of the armies in front of the palace, Liu Chengyou really dug down the corners of the guards department. Based on the three armies of the inner palace, Xiaodi, and Longxi, a large number of brave officers and soldiers from other armies were assigned to the palace. former division.Among the young officers, Gao Huaide, Li Chongjin, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang Yongde and others are among them.In the process of suppressing the rebellion in the Western Expedition to Hezhong, the promotion and demotion of officers who made meritorious deeds were reflected in the whole army.

As for the rest of the guards, Liu Chengyou dispatched a group of reliable soldiers from the Longqi and Xiaodi armies to fill the formation of the newly formed four armies of Husheng, Fengguo, Xingjie, and Wujie. A group of underqualified middle and lower-level officers were promoted by chance.

The rectification involving tens of thousands of people is of course a huge and complicated project, but since it started, it has been like riding a horse-drawn carriage, and will not stop until it reaches its goal.

During this process, Liu Chengyou, of course, was asking questions in person, and every now and then, he would personally inspect the old and new armies, soothe the hearts of the soldiers, and show his sense of presence.

Of course, it is unavoidable that the army soldiers who have been demoted and eliminated will not give up easily if their interests are damaged.Due to Liu Chengyou's strict monitoring of the army, those who gathered a crowd to make trouble were all captured and quickly extinguished.

In view of this, Liu Chengyou mainly arranged three places for the old and weak to be eliminated.One is the auxiliary soldiers of the forbidden army, which is the right thing to do, and the salary is halved;

At the same time, for the soldiers of the Imperial Army, Liu Chengyou introduced a new policy of awarding land for military merit.
With a multi-pronged approach, under the strict control of Liu Chengyou and Guo Wei and other generals, the military reform of the Imperial Guard of the Han Dynasty proceeded in an orderly manner as Liu Chengyou expected. Although twists and turns were inevitable, the overall situation was stable.

For this reason, Liu Chengyou did not make any troubles in other aspects during this period of time, just to create a stable environment for the whole army.

Even the funeral ceremony of Gaozu Liu Zhiyuan was delayed.

At the beginning of October, Yang Bin reported that "Rui Ling" had finally been built, but Liu Zhiyuan's body was still lying in the ice room in the palace.
