Zide Hall seems to be empty, the entire palace is empty. In fact, after Guo Shao allowed some former concubines and maids to leave the palace, not many people left, and there were still tens of thousands of people in the palace, which was a densely populated place.
Guo Shao came to Zide Hall, accompanied the second sister Fu for dinner, and was a little distracted.
In the past few years, the world was chaotic and wars continued. In fact, Guo Shao didn't spend much time with Jinzhan. But somehow, knowing that she is there and not far away from me, I feel at ease. And now, he always feels that the entire palace has shortcomings, right and left are not right.
The second sister whispered: "I'll go see Hong'er, and come with my husband at night."
Guo Shao smiled and said: "Go. But you can't spoil him too much. The child should have his independent days when he grows up."
The second sister's eyes turned upwards, as if she didn't understand what Guo Shao meant, she smiled, and whispered: "I will pregnant you with a little princess at night. I will be satisfied with having a son and a daughter."
After talking, he gave Guo Shao a teasing wink. Guo Shao also laughed "hehe".
He is very satisfied with Fu Ermei. Regardless of his past and present, if he is accompanied by a gentle "Bai Fumei", it is probably a great blessing in life. But Jinzhan treated him... anyway, it cannot be measured by conditions.
...... Guo Shao sat down in front of a case, took out a stack of files from his arms, and re-examined the upcoming military reform. This is a plan he designed together with several Privy Council ministers and cabinet ministers. Tomorrow morning, he will take it to the Chamber of Deputies to discuss with the generals.
The most important thing after the founding of the country, so Guo Shao has been thinking about it all day, and has been thinking about it countless times.
This matter has only one goal: to give titles and generous salaries, and to buy troops. Hope to reach an agreement with the generals.
Because the national treasury does not have so much land and money, it is unable to reward and "purchase" the military power of the imperial army at one time, so Jun Guo's plan is to spread the benefits equally to future imperial expenditures.
First of all, all the generals above the intermediate rank of the imperial army were given knighthoods, such as Gong, Hou, and Bo, collectively referred to as Daxu nobles.
The newly established nobles have substantial benefits from the state treasury. (Previous title is just a title, and the actual benefits of salary are better than nothing.)
The biggest benefits are the six state princes: Li Chuyun, Shi Yanchao, Yang Biao, Han Tong, Gao Huaide, Luo Yanhuan. They are the founding gong, the town gong, the auxiliary gong, the jinguo gong, the fengguo gong, and the protecting gong gong.
These six dukes have inherited their titles, and their eldest sons will continue to inherit the titles as long as they exist for a long time. The saying on the table is that "the founders of the country share the world with the royal family."
Gold medals and imperial decree for exemption from death, no matter how serious the crime is, the prince will not die, and the title will not be abolished, at most it will only be passed on to the heirs.
The salary is also very generous, and each family is roughly equivalent to the income of two taxes in a state.
The marquis entrusted in the early days of this dynasty are collectively referred to as the "Founding Marquis". They are mainly the commanders of the Xiangdu and the military. It is hereditary for three generations. After three generations, if the family has greater military merits to the country, it will be passed on for another three generations.
There is also a generous salary.
The generals of the military capital Yuhou, Inner Dianzhi, Outer Dianzhi, Zhubanzhi, as well as some commanders with military merits, can be named earls and can be passed on to sons.
...but the title is not given for nothing. The court will take back all military power and carry out military reforms. These military commanders above the intermediate level will all be taken back.
Dianqian Division and Guard Ma Busi Yamen were disbanded; the Five Army Capital Governor’s Mansion was transformed into a Metropolitan Mansion, and the “Five Armies” established in it such as the Dispatch Army, Command Army, Qianliang Army, Armament Army, and Chuanbao Army were dissolved.
The original village army was renamed "GuoGuojun". In the future, the Central Army will consist of two categories: the Prohibition Army and the Patriotic Army, and will control most of the country's armed forces.
The country’s main force has been completely changed from the former Privy Council and the control of the two major divisions, and has been transformed into four divisions of power by the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the Metropolitan Government, and the Military Equipment Supervisor.
The Privy Council holds the power to transfer troops, the Ministry of War is in charge of the army's money and food, the Metropolitan Government is in charge of the power, and the military is in charge of the storage and control of armor, weapons, firearms, and horses.
...In this way, when there is no war, the largest unit of the army is actually under the command of 500 people. The commander of the unified army cannot mobilize the army, cannot issue military supplies, and cannot control weapons.
Military-level commanders and generals no longer have real power. They are led by the "Military Division", which is mainly composed of civilian officials from various government offices.
The structure of the box level no longer exists.
When a war breaks out, the power of the chief general is also restricted and supervised by multiple yamen, and a "former camp military mansion" will be temporarily formed to establish a military power system. The system of messengers and official military orders will become the most important place in the army of this dynasty.
Next, the court will make similar changes to the frontier army. In addition to the decision-making power of the chief general, four departments directly under the court will replace the military power of the chief general.
...Guo Shao has tried the attitude of the generals in the early stage, and there seems to be no dissatisfaction. Because in addition to military power, under the new military system, the benefits they received were far greater than in the past; the previous military commanders had only a small salary, or waited for the emperor's reward, and had very little actual benefits and no long-term commitment.
In addition to gaining actual benefits and status, the role of military power is to rebel! If he doesn't want benefits, but asks the emperor for military power, what does he want to do?
Once this military system is implemented, it will inevitably lead to a situation in which "soldiers do not know the generals and will not know the soldiers" over time, which will lead to a decline in the army's combat effectiveness; but because of the subdivision of the military power, the mobilization of the army will involve a wide range of wars, and sudden rebellion It is almost impossible to protect the imperial power from internal force and increase security.
All the ministers thought that after the key area of Youyun was recovered, the nationwide war might not be great. The pros and cons cannot be taken into consideration. Under the general situation at this time, it is more appropriate to adopt a strategy of stable political power.
And there are two reasons why Guo Shao can make up his mind: First, the current Forbidden Army generals and soldiers after years of war, even if a certain general is temporarily led by the soldiers, they can gain the trust of the soldiers, because the emperor and the general They are all very famous in Wufu. At least in this group of people, changes in the military system will not have much impact on combat power.
Secondly, with the advent of firearms, organizational forms and tactics will gradually change.
...Guo Shao spent the night worrying about it.
In the early morning of the next morning, in the West Hall Conference Hall, according to the custom for several years, more than 20 civil and military ministers with the most power in the court came to gather and talked about the near future.
Simple etiquette, the ministers are skillfully finding the chair they are used to sitting on.
At this moment Wei Renpu came out, he brought a sword! It was very strange to bring a sword in front of the emperor, but he was just a civil servant, no one said anything, just watching what Wei Renpu was going to do.
Wei Renpu swung his sword in front of everyone.
At this time, Shi Yanchao couldn't help it: "What are you making? Don't look where it is, your brain is broken?"
"Ouch!" Wei Renpu suddenly pretended to hold his fingers, frowning, "This sword has no sheath, I accidentally cut myself!"
After he said, his eyes swept across the faces of Li Chuyun and others, but Li Chuyun said nothing.
Shi Yanchao said: "You can't finish putting on the secondary sheath?"
Wei Renpu glanced at Shi Yanchao: "General Shi is right. Let's not use this sword for the time being. If it is left open like this, it will be easy to cut oneself, and there may be something that makes the sword's edge rusty and curled up. The blade is broken, or even broken. It is not a good way. At this time, it is not to throw away the sword. You may use it when you want to. The best way is to put it in a beautiful and precious scabbard and rub it with oil. What do you think?"
Most civil servants knew what Wei Renpu meant, while the generals nodded thoughtfully in agreement.
Then Wei Renpu put the sword in the scabbard and put it back on a table, holding a fist to bow to Guo Shao first, and then "introductory", saying his and Wang Pu's views in public.
Guo Shao and the generals listened in silence, and then Guo Shao turned to look to the right, "You are all brothers fighting side by side with me, what do you think of Deputy Envoy Wei's opinion?"
Li Chuyun said: "The minister seconded, Wei Deputy Envoy's saying that'the treasure sheath saves the sword' is very reasonable..."
As soon as the voice fell, Shi Yanchao was very excited: "Does the official family still need to ask? Now, the Guo family is the emperor for generations, and we are the national princes for generations! Where can we find such good things? Brothers are willing Give your life to the official, the official is kind, and will wait for thanks in the end!"
Suddenly the generals all agreed, and all of them were very happy.
The smoothness of the scene was a bit beyond Guo Shao's expectations, especially the six national princes, their faces flushed with excitement, and they didn't seem to be pretending...At this time Guo Shao recovered, his reward was indeed generous. To be famous, to be a nobleman, to be a nobleman, to be profitable, there is indeed no reason why the generals are unwilling; Guo Shao's previous concerns are really superfluous.
The generals present, under the general trend at this time, I am afraid that there is really not much thought of being an emperor. There are things that you can't see when you jump, so you don't think about it.
With such an idea, being a hereditary aristocrat is safer than holding military power in his hand! Because you have military power in your hand and there are still dangers, why not sit back and enjoy everything now?
This is simply a "spoil gathering" for everyone to enjoy. The generals' faces all smiled, and Guo Shao observed carefully and found that Li Chuyun seemed to be relieved and very comfortable.
Shi Yanchao looked at Wang Pu and said: "Unexpectedly, you will speak for our martial artist."
It was obviously Wei Renpu who said this, but he said this to Wang Pu, probably because Wei Renpu suggested that it was the reason for the two of them.
Wang Pu smiled and said: "You are also a lot of heroes and officials in the same dynasty. The old man has no grievances and no enmity with you. How can there be a loss of justice... The old man is also a little upset. I knew this. I was in the army. Can't you be rich for generations?"
Everyone roared with laughter... But the civil servants still have power, so naturally they don't need to "redempt".
Yang Biao said: "The officials haven't agreed yet, are everyone happy too early?"
However, everyone can almost guess that Guo Shao must have planned such important events personally, and they have turned their attention.
Guo Shao opened his mouth and said: "Vice-Wei's'treasure scabbard saves the sword' will become a story of the ages."
After hearing this, the generals stood up and bowed to thank you, shouting long live. Shi Yanchao said: "The officials are very kind to the officials, which is like the Han Gaozu in the drama. If you get the world, you will kill the old brothers one by one!"
The hall was suddenly cold, everyone looked at each other.
