Prime Minister's Office, Secretary-General. Zhang Xun carefully reviewed the military reform edict that was about to be announced in the world, and confirmed that there was no word-by-word error. Then he submitted it to the inner room secretary Gongsun Changming. After Gongsun Changming reviewed it again, he submitted it to Prime Minister Li Ze for the final signature and seal and then issued the edict to the world.

At this moment, no one has realized the huge role of this inconspicuous small secretary general in the future court. In almost everyone's opinion, this secretary general is just a staff organization that uploads and provides advice on behalf of others.

The entire secretary took Gongsun Changming, and there were only nine people. Gongsun Changming was the secretary order and Zhang Xun was the deputy. The nine young secretarys below were carefully selected by Gongsun Changming, and then after Li Ze's personal assessment, they could only step into this threshold. These nine people have their own strengths, corresponding to the six ministries and various affairs agencies.

All the documents, reports and memorials submitted to the Prime Minister's Office are first sent to the Secretary's Office, and then these people will determine the priorities, draft the handling opinions, and then submit them to the higher authorities.

These nine people have very low rank, but their power is quite great, and they are typically low and have a weight.

The new military reform system was finally released after fierce discussions and even debates between the Ministry of War, the representatives of the Twelve Guards, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue and Li Ze himself.

The real debate is actually Han Qi's struggle to win more rights for the Ministry of War. However, the opinions put forward by others are just trying to compete for some voice for the departments they represent.

After several days of closed-door meetings, coordination and compromise between each other, the final military reform finally reached its current version.

The military system of the government was abolished, the military household system was abolished, and the recruitment system was replaced by the recruitment system. In the past, the Tang Dynasty established Zhechong Prefectures in various parts of the country based on farmers to manage military households. Each Zhechong Prefecture had a total of about 1,000 to 4,000 people, and one-third of the people were in service all year round. However, these people in service basically rarely perform military tasks. Most of the time, they were doing odd jobs for officials and being chores for officials, but the government still had to pay for it. Although during war, Zhechong Prefecture could mobilize more troops in a very short time, these troops, collectively called government soldiers, were far different in combat effectiveness than the guards.

The abolition of the government troops not only saves a lot of funds on military expenditure, but these idle labor can also greatly promote the development of people's livelihood.

After the Tang Dynasty abolished the system of the prefecture, there was only one type of army left, that is, the guards.

Li Ze organized all the troops into the Twelve Guards.

The left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right Jinwu guards, the left and right leading guards, and the left and right Qianniu guards.

The highest military commander of the twelve guards is called the general, so Li Ze is naturally the one who serves as the general. The highest military commander of each guard is the general who is awarded the title, ranging from the third to the fifth rank. In other words, the generals of each guard may have a large gap in rank, but they are exactly the same in terms of duty.

Under the general, there are generals of the Central Army, left and right men, the officers are appointed, the military officers are appointed, the military officers are appointed, the military officers are appointed, the cavalry officers are appointed, and the cavalry officers are appointed. The army is organized, and the chiefs are appointed, and each brigade is appointed as the deputy lieutenant of the accompanying Rong; the brigade is appointed, and each brigade is appointed, and each brigade is appointed as the deputy lieutenant of the accompanying Rong; the brigade is appointed, and each brigade is appointed, and each brigade is appointed as the general of the guard, and each brigade is appointed as the deputy lieutenant of the Renyong or the captain of the Renyong; the brigade is appointed, and each brigade is appointed as the general of the guard, and each brigade is appointed as the deputy lieutenant of the Renyong; the brigade is appointed, and each brigade is appointed as the general of the guard, and each brigade is appointed as the deputy lieutenant of the Renyong; the brigade is appointed, and each brigade is appointed as the general of the guard, and each brigade is appointed as the deputy lieutenant of the Renyong; the brigade is appointed as the general of the guard, and each brigade is appointed as the deputy lieutenant of the guard. In addition to these combat troops, each brigade is also equipped with logistics auxiliary troops including field battles.

By this calculation, the organization of each guard is basically more than 20,000. Depending on the location where each guard is stationed and the tasks faced, the organization of each guard is also different, no less than 20,000 and no more than 30,000.

The Ministry of War is responsible for the approval of military personnel, but officers above the level of general in the army are nominated by the prime minister and approved by the emperor. The appointment of officers below the sixth rank is nominated by the Ministry of War, but they need to pass the review of the Ministry of Personnel.

The military equipment is budgeted by the Ministry of War every year and submitted to the Ministry of Revenue for review. Then the funds are allocated to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War will place an order to the general manager, and the general manager will make it himself or purchase it from the outside.

The distribution of military salaries is directly assigned to the guards by the Ministry of Revenue in accordance with the approved personnel.

In this way, the entire operation of the army will almost become a circle, supervise and restrain each other. If any link is asked, it will affect the overall operation of the army.

A recruitment system was introduced, stipulating that all over the age of 16 and under 40 could register for the army. After passing the assessment, they could become a guard of the Tang Dynasty. Each guard is not allowed to recruit soldiers by himself. Each year, the Ministry of War will report to the Ministry of War according to the actual situation of the troops. According to the organization of the headquarters, the Ministry of War will recruit soldiers uniformly. After recruiting troops, they will first form a team for more than half a year of training, and then supplement them with the guards according to the needs of each department. This policy is no big deal for Li Ze's direct line, but for the Xue Ping team, the problem is not small. The base camp they ruled is in Hedong and the power is also in Hedong. If a large number of soldiers in the former Wuwei area appeared in the troops they controlled, it would be a lot of hidden dangers. The unified dispatch of officers also faced this problem. Therefore, they could only hope that Han Qi, the Minister of War, could minimize this impact.

The retirement system of soldiers was introduced, and the pensions and benefits of soldiers who had been discharged due to age were officially issued.

A system of promotion and removal of officers was introduced. A soldier serves three years as a cycle, and every three years of service, he will automatically be promoted. Such an upgrade only increases salary without any rights and responsibilities. In other words, if an ordinary soldier serves for nine years, the salary he receives is almost the same as a lieutenant of a Rong, but in essence, he is still a soldier. The promotion of an officer is naturally determined by military achievements. Military achievements are not limited to gains on the battlefield, but the conditions for promotion, including logistics assistance, have been made in detail. Without corresponding merits, promotion cannot be obtained. This system will do its best to exclude nepotism or gang recruitment in the army.

After a series of systems were formed into documents, the next step was naturally the highlight, the leading general of the twelve guards. The regime was out of the gun. In this era, anyone had deeply understood this sentence. Li Ze could reach this point today, and in the final analysis, his Wuwei army was invincible and invincible.

Qin Zhao led the Zuo Xiaowei, the third rank, to station in Dizhou.

Liu Chenglin led the right guard, the third rank, and stationed in Mozhou.

Li Cunzhong led the left Wu Guard, the fourth rank, and stationed in Taiyuan.

Zhang Jia led the Right Wu Guard, the fourth rank, and stationed in Shuozhou.

Tu Lichun led the Zuowei Guard, the fourth rank, and stationed in Hezhong.

Shi Zhuang led the Right Wei Guard, the fourth rank, and stationed in Luzhou.

Xue Chong led the left Jinwu Guard, and was stationed in Zhuozhou by the fourth rank.

Tian Ping led the Right Jinwu Guard, and was in the fourth rank, and stationed in Weizhou.

Min Rou led the left commander guard, from the third rank, stationed in Yizhou.

Chen Congxing led the right army, the fifth rank, stationed in Cangzhou.

Wang Sili led Zuo Qianniu Guard, the third rank, and stationed in Zhenzhou.

Liu Ruyan led the Qianniu Guard of the Right and stationed in Wuyi.

The generals of the twelve guards were divided into this. Qin Zhao's left guard and Li Cunzhong's left guard belonged to the royal party. Xue Chong's left guard and Tian Ping's right guard can be regarded as centrists, but they tend to be Li Ze. The other seven guards are all controlled by Li Ze's direct confidants. The other Zhang Jia, although they are not Li Ze's confidants, have a deep grudge with Han Qi and Li Cunzhong and others. On the political stance, they also sat on Li Ze's side without hesitation.

On top of military power, Li Ze undoubtedly gained an absolute advantage.

Among the twelve guards, except for the Qianniu guards who were responsible for the emperor and civil and military officials, as well as the garrisons in Wuyi Zhenzhou and other places, the other ten guards were all designated as field troops.

The original guards were directly removed from the armed forces by Li Ze and listed as special departments. Although they also have certain armed forces, on the whole, they are not allowed to go to the forefront. In addition, Li Ze has no internal guards to be public, so the power and role of guards have been greatly weakened.

After the political reform and military reform, Li Ze had actually completely controlled the entire situation. Although Li Cunzhong and Qin Zhao each had a guard, they had received too many elbows. Even if Li Cunzhong's troops were still stationed in Hedong, he could not recruit troops on his own or collect food and grass on his own. Everything was all thanks to the court, and he had tied up his hands and feet. Although the states under Hedong were still officials arranged by themselves, if they wanted to help Li Cunzhong's army privately, they would first be able to pass the Ministry of Revenue to review this level. Against the background of a financial game, they were already staring at their Ministry of Revenue, worried that they could not find any trouble to find their troubles?

In addition to opening the Ministry of Accounts, there are also reviews from the supervisory authorities, which are all shackles for them, and these laws are also minefields. If they violate any one, Li Ze has a legitimate reason to take them down and replace them with his own troops.

When the food, pay and equipment of an army are firmly controlled, there are actually very few things he can do. Even if he wants to rebel, there will not be many people willing to follow him, because everyone knows that the future of doing so seems to be extremely slim. The benefits are very small and the risks are extremely high.
