An edict was issued to Liu Ye as an envoy to Xiliang. The court did not say what the specific purpose was, but all the princes in the court knew it well and all agreed with it.

If this happens, Xiliang will return to the rule of the imperial court. This will be a great help to the current imperial court - the current situation is chaotic, and the governors of various places are doing their own things, including Yizhou, Jingzhou and Youzhou.

The three places have all set up state pastors. Although the people who hold the posts are all members of the Han clan, no one is stupid these days. With great power in their hands, how many will let it go?

Another point is that there is chaos in all directions. Even those who want to go to the imperial court are unable to convey the news because of the incomprehensible government orders. For example, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was originally going to recall him to the imperial court to serve as the third Duke, but he was unable to go because of the chaos and was left behind.

In Youzhou.

At the beginning of this year, the imperial court appointed Liu Biao as the herdsman of Jingzhou and set off for Jingzhou. Unexpectedly, banditry was rampant on the road, forcing Liu Biao to enter Jingzhou alone. At present, no news has come back, and I don’t know what is going on in Jingzhou?

As for Yizhou Mu... Liu Yan's intention to restore the state pastoral system was because he wanted to be a local emperor. Although he might not be doing it for himself, but for his son, it made no difference to Liu Xuan, because the damage was

It's all for the benefit of him, the emperor.

In short, due to various reasons, the imperial court has now lost control of all parts of the world. Although it can still issue edicts and awards, it is no longer possible to directly intervene in local internal affairs and military affairs. If this situation continues for a long time, I am afraid that the people of the world will

He will never take the imperial court seriously again.

Now if we can take back Xiliang under Ma Teng's rule, can we make the people of the world pay attention to the imperial court again?

Of course, what we want is not for them to surrender again, but to show a gesture - our court has not been dissolved yet!

After the edict was issued, Liu Xuan did not need to worry about the rest of the matter. He only needed to take some time to meet Liu Ye after the court and give him instructions, and that would be it. The specific matters would naturally be handled by his subordinates.

Later, Liu Xuan issued another edict, officially canonizing Cai Yan and Cai Gui as the queen of the main palace.

He had already had this idea, and even the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty knew that the position of queen would most likely go to Cai Guiren. Why did the emperor only accept such a concubine after he ascended the throne?

They don't know that Liu Xuan didn't have the time to take concubines before, but now he looks down on those ordinary women. Now he has set his sights on those women who can leave their names in history, and even secretly

A list was made, and those at the top of the list were Zhen Mi and Xiao Qiao.

But at this time, Chaozhong Wenwu still couldn't help but glance at Cai Yong. This current great scholar has now sat in the position of Minister of Rites, and has become one of the most influential people in the court.

What's more, Cai Yong now has the status of the head of the state. It is foreseeable that Cai Yong's status in the court will become higher and higher in the future, and it will no longer be as embarrassing as it was during Dong Zhuo's dictatorial period.

After issuing two edicts in succession, Liu Xuan began to ask everyone if they had anything to report.

But at present, the imperial court only has so little control over it, so how come there are so many big things to ask the emperor about? Every day in court, there are only so many things that go over and over again.

On the contrary, the reorganization of the Forbidden Army has now been almost completed, and it is time to bring it out to the people of the Manchu Dynasty.

According to discussions among Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi, and after consulting the emperor's wishes, the highest commander of the imperial army was the Central Guards Army, which was placed above the miscellaneous generals (such as General Dangkou, General Fubo, etc.). Under the heavy title generals (four generals, Sizheng, Si Zhen, Si'an and Siping generals are all heavy title generals), they are fully responsible for many affairs of the Forbidden Army. However, except for the emperor's personal expedition, the Central Guards Army does not have the right to lead troops on expeditions.

At present, the Forbidden Army barely has 10,000 people. In the Han Dynasty, it was organized into two armies. Each army was composed of five divisions, with tooth generals. Each division had two troops, each division had five villages, and each village had two teams...

To put it simply, the ranks of 2525 are arranged downwards, all the way to the corps leader.

Originally, Liu Xuan was not very accustomed to this organization, but after finding the pattern, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he continued to use it. At the same time, he was also thinking about when to reorganize according to the organization of the military division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, and platoon? But now this The timing is not right. Even if we really want to do such a thing, we will probably have to wait until the country is unified.

The 10,000-strong Forbidden Army has now begun training. Because most of them are elite veterans, their combat effectiveness is better than Liu Xuan originally expected.

At the same time, the Forbidden Army had begun to take over the city defense. After learning this, Liu Xuan spoke directly and abolished the original city gate guards, and the post of city gate captain was also abolished. According to his intention, the responsibility of guarding the city belongs to the military attache. They were doing their job, but they did it in a nondescript manner. As a result, these city gate guards were not good at fighting and defending the city, but they were good at making money and causing mischief.

As soon as Liu Xuan's words came out, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song had not done anything, but Lu Zhi was shocked - he didn't like Liu Xuan at first, but he had never made any wrong decisions since the new emperor came to the throne. The emperor now trapped the traitor Dong Zhuo in Luoyang. After arriving in Chang'an, the various edicts he issued seemed to have the meaning of a virtuous king, so he stayed in the court and tried his best to help the Han Dynasty.

But this time, I heard that Liu Xuan pointed out the shortcomings of the original system without hesitation, and canceled the useless official title with great joy, which showed a bit of determination.

But the captain of the city gate was abolished, so who would be responsible for the defense of the city gate?

Liu Xuan directly gave advice: "Take turns to take responsibility. Anyway, there is no need for generals to sit in command when there is no war. You only need to have people patrol every day."

After a pause, he continued: "In this way, the general will be able to avoid favoritism by inspecting troops other than his own."

All the princes in the Manchu Dynasty naturally claimed to be good. Now that the emperor said so, they naturally couldn't resist forcefully. Besides, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with this arrangement.

Later, some old soldiers who were eliminated during the selection of the Forbidden Army were incorporated into the Zhongwei Temple and served as lieutenant soldiers - but according to the emperor's wishes, a patrol department was set up under the Zhongwei Temple, and then the old soldiers served as patrolmen and were responsible for patrolling the entire city. maintain security.

In fact, Liu Xuan didn't know if the imperial court originally had the authority to arrest the yamen. Nowadays, the current situation is chaotic and political affairs are in a mess. Even if there was originally, that department has been abolished, so Liu Xuan doesn't do anything. He did not hesitate to get rid of the Patrol Department directly. If there were departments with overlapping powers in the future, he would just abolish them - of course he would not abolish the Patrol Division, but the original department.

After much trouble, Liu Xuan also made a new rule - from now on, the Forbidden Army will not only be responsible for the defense of the capital and the capital area.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses stationed on the border are also forbidden troops. At the same time, the administrative seat of each state, that is, the state capital, must also station a forbidden army. As for the counties and counties, there will be no forbidden troops stationed.

The garrison location of the Forbidden Army is not fixed and will be changed regularly. Even the troops originally stationed in the capital will be stationed in the border areas or in some stable prefectures and counties in the interior. Liu Xuan believes that only this kind of frequent mobilization can

It can ensure the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army.

Otherwise, the troops stationed in the comfortable place for a long time will soon be abolished. At the same time, they will also worry about being bribed by the local governor. The situation will make Liu Xuan depressed no matter what happens, so we must fundamentally prevent this possibility from happening - plus Han

There was a similar system in Chaozao, but its implementation was unfavorable, so no one objected to Liu Xuan's suggestion.

In addition to the forbidden army, the counties outside the border towns stationed local soldiers and horses, which are the so-called county soldiers. These soldiers are semi-professional and semi-peasant. At worst, they are just a group of militia. However, in the inland areas outside the border towns,

, it is enough to prevent bandits - if the bandits are strong, the state government will send the imperial army to encircle and suppress them.

There will not be a large number of soldiers and horses stationed at the county level. There will only be a small number of county soldiers to support them. There will be no soldiers and horses stationed at the pavilion level further down.

Liu Xuan also requested that the patrol department must be established at the pavilion level. Of course, these are only in the plan now, and he doesn't know when it will be implemented.

After hearing Liu Xuan's arrangements, Lu Zhi asked in surprise: "According to your Majesty's wishes, the imperial army should be completely supported by the imperial court and dedicated to fighting soldiers who are not engaged in production. Can they be deployed to various border areas and even to various state offices?"

, how many troops and horses are needed? How much is the annual food and salary expenditure? Can the imperial court afford it?"

Naturally, he didn't know that Liu Xuan had magical means to solve the food problem, and if there was no food problem, raising as many soldiers as possible would not be a problem in this era.

What's more, he really looked down on the existence of those half-peasants and half-soldiers. The combat effectiveness of those soldiers was really weak. Liu Xuan didn't just want to reunify the world. If he wanted to continue to expand his territory, there was only one way.

How can a small number of professional soldiers be enough?

"I want to increase the number of the Forbidden Army to 800,000, but I think it is barely enough."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the princes in the court suddenly changed, and many people's faces instantly turned black and blue.

Eight hundred thousand forbidden troops does sound like a very ambitious goal. If there were really eight hundred thousand professional soldiers dedicated to fighting, it is estimated that the Han Dynasty could sweep the world.

According to the situation of this era, it was barely enough for twenty people to support one soldier, and this was only on the premise that the soldier himself had to perform part of the field work.

If the soldiers were not engaged in production at all, it would probably take fifty or even a hundred people to raise one. It is for this reason that the number of real professional soldiers in the Han Dynasty was actually not many.

The five schools of the Northern Army, Yulin, and Huben add up to less than 10,000 people. The rest are basically half-peasants and half-soldiers. But Liu Xuan wanted to increase this number eighty times with just one mouth. It would take a lot of effort.

How many people can ensure enough food and salary supply? Just a rough calculation, it must be at least nearly 100 million people? And this is only consumption in peacetime, what if it is wartime? Moreover, the court cannot only focus on raising troops without doing other things.

thing?

Thinking of this, many people looked at each other and began to think of admonishing. Fortunately, Liu Xuan then said: "But this is just a goal. To truly achieve this, everyone needs to work together."

Only then did the ministers breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the emperor's words of eight hundred thousand forbidden troops were just empty words made by the young emperor who did not know the difficulty of governing the world. Maybe the emperor would regard this idea as a joke in the future.

No one knows that Liu Xuan set the goal of 800,000 simply because the title of '800,000 Forbidden Army Instructor' is too deep in his memory. If anyone knew the reason, they might vomit three liters of blood.
