Chapter 43 Military Reorganization
Of course, if Liu Xuan had thousands of red rabbits, he wouldn't have to worry about these things. The problem is that he doesn't, so he can only find a solution from another aspect.
After thinking about it, he really came up with a solution. However, if that solution was to be achieved, it would not be achieved overnight. It might take more than ten years. But if he thought about it carefully, it would be different from his original intention.
There was a conflict, so Liu Xuan still made up his mind to let Cao Cao form a pure heavy armor cavalry.
"But at the beginning, we only formed a cavalry unit, and the rest were ordinary cavalry." A cavalry unit consisted of five hundred people. Liu Xuan meant to form a cavalry unit of three thousand people, but five hundred of them were heavy armored cavalry, and the rest were all cavalry.
They are ordinary cavalry.
Cao Cao thought for a while, this was a compromise, but would the establishment of three thousand people be too much?
"Currently Chang'an does not have so many war horses." A cavalry unit of three thousand people requires more than three thousand horses, ranging from five to six thousand to tens of thousands. If the baggage, logistics troops, etc. are included, one
A single battle is enough to make a wealthy party bankrupt.
"There will always be war horses. As long as you set up the rack now, we have to talk about the specific situation." The cavalry is considered a high-level unit at this time. Naturally, he does not expect to have a few words with Cao Cao here and then send three thousand soldiers tomorrow.
The cavalry has been pulled out, and now they just need to make a plan, and then slowly implement it according to this plan.
At the same time, since Cao Cao chose the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, it means that Cao Cao wants to lead the army to fight in all directions, so he cannot be assigned a civilian position in the court.
The second article of Liu Xuan's reform of the government is that no serving official in the government, whether he is one of the three princes or an ordinary official who has just entered the court, is not allowed to hold multiple positions.
At present, Wang Yun holds the two powerful positions of Situ and Shangshu Ling, and almost controls the entire court with one hand. Liu Xuan also knows that the dynasties in this land have such a bad custom in all dynasties - in order to show their respect for someone
The emperor always likes to put a lot of hats on someone.
Of course, there are also people who take titles on themselves in order to seize power.
No matter what kind of thing, he couldn't accept it, and he wanted to fundamentally prevent this situation from happening, so he directly issued an edict to explicitly prohibit this kind of thing from happening again - he could control it in the court, and this edict was mainly about
For the following.
The edict has been drafted and will be announced when he goes to court tomorrow. Of course, he had already communicated a little bit with Wang Yun before this. Wang Yun didn't express much. It seemed that it meant a 'silent protest', but Liu
Xuan didn't bother to care about him. Anyway, the edict had been issued. If Wang Yunzhen didn't deal with him, he would deal with it severely.
As for Cao Cao, it seems that he can only find a solution in the military position. As for the Ministry of War among the six ministries, according to Liu Xuan's plan, it is also different from the original Ministry of War. This Ministry of War is mostly responsible for strategic suggestions. For this reason, Liu Xuan also specially divided
A staff department is also responsible for logistics affairs - originally the money and food in the imperial court should be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but Liu Xuan assigned the money and food for military purposes to the Ministry of War separately, so the logistics could not keep up during military operations, and that was the responsibility of the Ministry of War.
question.
To put it bluntly, the Ministry of War does not have the right to directly command operations, but it must obtain permission from the Ministry of War to conduct operations, which is a mutual check and balance.
It was the generals who actually commanded the battles. Liu Xuan completely separated the generals separately. The previous rule that Han generals were qualified to participate in political affairs was completely abolished by Liu Xuan.
"Since you are a general, you should concentrate on military affairs."
Although Cao Cao also made great achievements in political affairs, after all, Cao Cao did not have this ambition at this time. He wanted to see if Cao Cao, who concentrated on military affairs, could reach a higher level than originally.
Of course, Liu Xuan also had candidates for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. The first was Zhu Jun, the second was Lu Zhi, and the third was Huangfu Song. They were all loyal ministers, and he would not worry about them causing harm to his troops behind him.
In addition, now that Cao Cao wants to form the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and he plans to grant a general position to Cao Cao, then the post of General Yulin Zhonglang will be vacant, and the choice of successor will give him a headache.
In addition, he also had new ideas for the reorganization of the Northern Army. Instead of setting up martial arts schools according to the original organization, it was completely transformed into one army, with clearer duties and responsibilities: during wartime, it was at the emperor's disposal, and when there was no war, At that time, they defended the capital and took turns stationing on the border.
For the new Northern Army, Liu Xuan directly named it the Forbidden Army. He asked Xun Yu to help draw up the specific charter. When the work here was finished, he would discuss the formation of the Forbidden Army, and then assign important ministers to take charge.
The Forbidden Army is also not under the jurisdiction of any minister, but is led by him personally. The officers of the Forbidden Army do not need to obey anyone's orders when there is no emperor's edict. The generals who command the Forbidden Army are temporarily appointed, and they are usually middle and lower-level personnel responsible for training. Officers are also mobilized from time to time.
Doing this may cause the problem of the general not knowing the soldiers, and the soldiers not knowing the generals, but Liu Xuan cannot expect everything to be perfect at this time, so he will just deal with it like this for now.
The Forbidden Army, Yulin Cavalry, and Tiger Ben Army are all the troops currently in Liu Xuan's hands. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will be added in the future. In addition, there is no need to add additional troops and horses. In future operations, the Forbidden Army will be the basis. The main force is supplemented by local soldiers (this part cannot be counted on now).
As for the lieutenant soldiers and city gate captains commanded by Zhi Jinwu, Liu Xuan will also reorganize and abolish these two departments. From now on, defense affairs will be handed over to the regular army. Otherwise, what is the use of the forbidden army? Fight when there is a war, and when there is no war, Do you want to have tea and chat there sometimes?
The lieutenant soldiers and city gate captains could be changed to similar police agencies later, specifically responsible for public security and patrol...
Looking at the messy paper he had written on, Liu Xuan smiled bitterly.
"The more I think about this mess, the more it becomes."
As soon as Cao Cao left, he was writing and drawing here, just to think about what needs to be changed. However, the more he wrote, the more he found that the current system was really unsatisfactory to him. At this time, Almost the entire court system was overthrown.
Just as he was having a headache, Lu Bu arrived. Liu Xuan put the paper in front of him aside and called Lu Bu to come in.
Lu Bu came to see him for nothing else but to discuss the adaptation of the Huben Army.
Originally, Huben's army was the imperial guard, and most of its soldiers were heavy armored infantry. After Lu Bu became Huben's general, he had more Bingzhou cavalry, who were close to all. Liu Xuan planned to make up Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry to a thousand, and then send Huben's army from The guards accused him of being transformed into the emperor's minions, and like the tiger and leopard cavalry, he helped him to pacify the four directions.
After talking to Lu Bu about this matter, Lu Bu naturally had no reason to disagree. The emperor wanted to help him increase the number of elite soldiers. It was too late for him to be happy, so how could he object?
The more the emperor behaves like this, the more it shows that the emperor values him. In addition, the emperor later gave him a secret order: "Tomorrow, lead the Tiger Guards to guard the Jinhua Palace and obey my orders. I am specially allowed to go to the palace with a halberd to protect me."
About."
When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately understood that the emperor was going to make a big move, and he immediately handed over his hand.
