423. The military reform plan was released

The military plan discussed by Jingwen and Li Shimin was quickly approved by the prime ministers. Because what worries them most is that the local army will not be controlled and become warlords. But Jingwen's methods made it almost impossible for the local army to become warlords, so what were they worried about? And these will form an army in the future, and it will be a professional army. And this process is not a direct change, he is a slow transition to the military system. The former government soldiers now have to serve for long periods of time. The state issued certain subsidies, as well as provided grain, grass and ordnance. However, this opportunity is only for three years, and after three years, they will have to go home to farm, and the state will not continue to provide preferential policies. This is actually the conscription system of later generations, which only allows soldiers to serve for a few years, and does not make soldiers serve from young to old.

As for why the implementation of the absolutely professional conscription system has not really been implemented, this is actually because Datang has no money, and Datang's economic strength is still unable to provide a large amount of financial resources to implement the conscription system. Therefore, this kind of conscription system can only be implemented, although it does not have the same long training time as the army of the conscription system, but it is enough to make the soldiers have a certain degree of stability, and they will not train while farming, which is very inefficient. And if there is really any accident, then those retired soldiers can also sign up again to enlist in the army, pick up swords and guns again, and then only need to carry out a certain amount of recovery training. This is actually a method of hiding troops from the people, and it is not completely bad.

And after this new reform plan came out, everyone began to pay attention to it, and it was destined to be a few happy and a few worried. Senior officers began to have direct military authority, while mid-level officers had greater powers, but their rank was reduced. The junior officers are still like that, and not much has changed. And what everyone is most concerned about is how to determine the number one leader of the twelve armies, because the number one leader of these twelve armies is definitely a big man with 40,000 troops under his command, which can be said to be the focus of competition.

"The twelve armies of my Datang. A number of soldiers and officers will be drawn from the Disgrace Army, and then dispersed to begin the formation. In the future, the army will be reorganized using the Snow Shame Army as a template. The Snow Shame Army Festival made Jingwen, and I had another appointment. From today, the Snow Shame Army will be lifted, and the soldiers will be dispersed to serve in various armies. Li Shimin said.

Everyone heard Li Shimin's words, and everyone knew that Jingwen was relieved of military power. But everyone didn't dare to despise Jing Wen, because Jing Wen's old subordinates were scattered to various armies, but in fact, his influence expanded to the whole army, and he could be said to be a big man in the military.

"Father-in-law. Do you want to go to the local area to lead the troops, or stay in the center? ”

In a corner, Jingwen and Cheng Yanjin were discussing things. Now Jingwen and Cheng Lin are ready to get married, so it is natural to call Cheng Yanjin's father-in-law.

"Boy, if you want me to say, I'm still leading the troops in the eight armies in the center. As for going outside, I don't want to suffer. Especially in the south, where there is a miasma, didn't I find myself bored after I went? So. I'd better stay in the center and enjoy the blessings. Cheng Yanjin said.

These veterans have fought all their lives, and now the world is peaceful and they have begun to enjoy happiness. And as for the idea of meritorious service. It's not going to be for a while, because I'm afraid I'm going to have to take a long time to recuperate. After the destruction of the Turks, everyone is considered to have finished the last battle. And although there may be four armies stationed in four directions, ready to open up at any moment. But as long as it's any military strategist. It can be seen that there is actually no war to be fought in the future, and it is just a recuperation.

Since there is no battle to fight, there is no credit to be gained. Then naturally it is necessary to enjoy happiness in Chang'an. When you go to the place, you don't have any credit, and you have to suffer, who wants to! Therefore, Cheng Yanjin also plans to recuperate in Chang'an.

"Boy, I'm afraid you're also a big man in the army. In the future, the army of the Tang Dynasty will be established according to your methods, and your shameful army will be dispersed into the entire army, and you may have more influence in the army in the future than our veterans. When the time comes, who will dare to despise you? It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River, and the front waves die on the beach. Cheng Yanjin also sighed and said.

Cheng Yanjin is also obviously lamenting the rise of Jingwen, because Cheng Yanjin has fought on the battlefield all his life to be able to have today. But now Jingwen actually relied on military reform, and as a result, he became a big man. However, everyone can only agree that your Jingwen method has indeed increased the combat effectiveness of the army, and it is also of great help to the upper control of the army. Who would dare to despise this method? I'm afraid that any emperor will choose to reform, because improving the combat effectiveness of the army is something that any emperor attaches great importance to.

"Father-in-law, how can you say that it is the former wave? No matter how you say it's my father-in-law, how could I let you die on the beach? Jingwen immediately patted his ass and said.

"Forgive me, kid doesn't dare!" Cheng Yanjin said.

"The emperor has an order to appoint Qin Qiong as the envoy of the Left Dragon Wu Army, Wei Chi Gong as the envoy of the Right Dragon Wu Army, Cheng Yanjin as the envoy of the Left Shence Army, Chai Shao as the envoy of the Right Shence Army, and Li Daozong as the envoy of the Zuo Yulin ......Army."

Soon, the emperor's decree came down, that is, to appoint the twelve armies of the imperial court. However, what is a little surprising is that the number one leader of these twelve armies is actually called a jiedu envoy, not a general. The Jiedu envoy is only a temporary official position, not an official position established for a long time, but the official title appointed by the emperor is the Jiedu envoy, which is a little incomprehensible. However, there are also some "people who understand" who know that this is the example that Li Shimin learned from Jing Wen, that is, the position of this general was deliberately set up as a temporary mission, and then it could be exempted at any time. This is actually the emperor's mental technique, so that the heads of those armies can be removed from office at any time, so that the emperor's position can be stable! Because in the future, these armies will have standing soldiers, so naturally it is impossible to rest assured as in the past. Although Jingwen proposed a lot of restrictive measures, it would be better to have one more way.

"Huh? Why is there no Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Li Ji? Everyone muttered in their hearts.

Because the twelve army envoys just now did not have the names of Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Li Ji, couldn't they get positions and prepare for "retirement"? (To be continued......)
