In fact, at present, the concepts of [wartime] and [non-wartime] have been implemented in the group of the Central Guard.

The five generals of the Guard, including Zhao Yun, have basically nothing to do with the army except for some economic power and supervisory power.

Guo Peng came up with the concept of military rank and military post, separating military rank from military posts. Some generals only have military ranks but do not have military posts, so they do not have military power.

Only in the war of marching and fighting can specific power be decentralized, allowing generals to lead troops to fight.

This is how the other major military regions are arranged, so in Guo Jin's view, these major military regions can be well controlled as long as they have a rotating garrison system and a military rank system, and they can't make a difference.

The daily separation of command and command can well control the actions of several major military regions and will not cause any unending things.

But this is not the case with the Central Army.

Because of the special needs of the Central Army and the special historical situation when the Central Army was established, Guo Peng established five practical general positions in the Central Army in order to reward heroes, appease the hearts of the people, and to better intimidate the world.

The position of general of the Guard has four general positions, front, back, left and right of the Guard, and a total of five generals, all of which are military positions, not military ranks.

The permanent generals have command power and wartime command power, and their status is higher than that of the local army. Moreover, the convenience brought by the night tour position is a difficult problem for Guo Jin.

Guo Peng later continued to fight with his ministers, and his greatest historical achievement was that he promoted the second wave of academic downturn and created the imperial examination era.

This is the big deal.

The problems of the Central Guard are actually very small problems, and are not worth mentioning in the face of the imperial examination.

Guo Peng gave the throne to Guo Jin without dealing with the Central Army. This problem naturally fell on Guo Jin and needed to solve it - if he felt it was unhappy.

Of course he felt unpleasant.

It is Guo Jin's turn to be the emperor. He does not have as great prestige as Guo Peng can dominate the world. He must be careful to deal with any existence that may threaten his status.

The first thing to be affected is the five positions of the Guards.

Zhao Yun, Cao Chun, Li Dian, Xiahou Yuan, and Guo Dong.

Although these five positions of power in general also implement the wartime and non-wartime systems, in Guo Jin's view, this is problematic and may be threatened and destroyed.

For example, Zhao Yun has great prestige and great contributions. When something really happens, Zhao Yun has the prestige to break through institutional constraints and can maximize the power of the general of the Guard.

This position can turn the guards into the guards of the Roman Empire.

Not to mention that it is impossible, Mr. Guo relied on his prestige and strong strength to overcome the institutional constraints set by the scholars one after another, and destroyed the old system in one go, and created a brand new system.

In a "war" in Luoyang, forty thousand scholars failed and fell into the sand. The resistance power of scholars was almost completely destroyed. The kind that was destroyed by the body could no longer fight against the powerful imperial power. The imperial examination era was naturally coming.

Pearls and jade are ahead.

That was the order that Guo Jin personally went to convey to the imperial guards.

So Guo Peng's existence sounded the alarm for Guo Jin, telling him that in the face of supreme prestige, the system is actually a bit useless.

The most troublesome thing about Guo Jin now is the prestige.

This question of prestige really made him feel like he was stuck in his throat.

Not to mention Zhao Yun, the other four generals of the Guard also have great prestige.

They are all veteran generals who followed Guo Peng to rise up and fight.

Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan, and Guo Dong were all Yuan Cong, and only Li Dian had a slightly weaker qualification, but he was also an experienced general who had followed Guo Peng since the time of Qingzhou Governor.

These veteran generals did not make any mistakes or any problems. They were all cautious and like anything. Especially after the incident in Cao Hong, the fourth general lived a life of not showing their presence unless necessary.

We must resolutely not participate in the government affairs, do not have any contact with the court officials, do not give others any chance to seize their handles, and always restrain ourselves and try our best to be a person without harm.

If you want to find faults and tricks from them like this, there is really no way to do it.

But just letting go, Guo Jin felt uneasy.

Although they can be suppressed for a while, they will not be able to contact the army too much and thus control their military power, it is difficult to do so for a long time.

He can do it, so what about his son or grandson?

Can it be done?

He can't guarantee it.

Therefore, when it is possible to do it now, Guo Peng, who has been retreating to the second line, has taken back the military power and made the position of general empty.

Don’t have generals, don’t have a built-in army, but a dispersed Central Army built with the captain as the main body, not in wartime.

The positions that the lieutenant will be above are empty and there is no need to exist. They are only honorary positions. In wartime, the emperor will grant positions that can be commanded by the emperor. They will be withdrawn as soon as they are done, and they will not be permanent.

This is the most meaningful thing.

The guards must be either a whole or not.

With such an idea, Guo Jin found Guo Peng and discussed the matter with him.

Guo Peng agrees with his ideas.

"I told you before that the Central Guard is not suitable for setting up some generals who are too centralized. A group of lieutenants are the best. Officers with a general's status will become empty-handed every day and will be set up when needed. They will be withdrawn as soon as they are done, but they don't have so much time for their father to do it.

But it's also just right. You can't always expect your father to do all the things you do. You have to do some things yourself and deal with them yourself. Just treat this as a test of whether you can be a real emperor. You can find a way to empty the guard generals and the four generals."

Guo Peng smiled and expressed his expectations to Guo Jin.

Guo Jin was silent for a while and nodded slowly.

"My son doesn't know if it can be done successfully. The father has already completed half of this matter, and the son will do his best to finish the remaining half."

"good."

Guo Peng expressed his great hope to see Guo Jin transform the five generals of the Guard into a virtual mission.

Guo Jin left Mount Tai, walked along the way, thinking seriously about how to use the five generals to impose their duties.

As Guo’s son, Guo Jin is certainly very clear about how Guo masters the army.

Grasp the lower level, win over the middle level, and overturn the upper level.

The way Mr. Guo masters the army is different from that of anyone in this era.

Before the troubled times, people rely on the inertia of the dynasty to lead the army by habitually mastering the positions of the army. The army is controlled by the positions, not by that specific person.

At the beginning of the troubled times, everyone started to recruit soldiers and lead troops to fight on their own, but the inertia of the dynasty has always existed, and everyone still habitually takes pride in the highest position. With a position, there will be power.

When the troubled times were in progress, many talents were shocked to find that positions were no longer good, the order of the dynasty collapsed, and the dominance brought by the inertia of the position was gradually collapsed.

The position suddenly becomes worthless, and the position suddenly becomes less useful.

When the Han Dynasty was still stable, a lieutenant was very awesome. In the face of troubled times, a super awesome military post like the General of the Cavalry, the General of the Cavalry, the General of the Cavalry, can only be regarded as a plus for everyone to have fun. If there is no soldiers in your hands, no one will pay attention to you at all.

At this time, the army controlled by Mr. Guo, who has been insisting on taking the lower level, shines in the troubled times like a crane standing out in the flock.

Mr. Guo has paid great attention to his control over every soldier from the beginning. He cares very much about close contact with soldiers. Therefore, he insists on implementing the system of direct military pay and commendation meetings.

The direct payment of military pay is the financial system directed by Guo, who is directly distributed to every soldier and sent to the soldiers, but it is the hands of the officer.

The commendation meeting is that every once in a while or every time a major war, Guo will appear in person, bring the top 50 beheaded people on the stage to commend them personally, and then promote their positions and let them enter the officer sequence.

Then there is the military judge system.

Mr. Guo has implanted a military judge system into the army since the beginning of the founding of the army, which is specially used to punish illegal soldiers on his behalf and deprive the power of punishing soldiers in non-war times from the officers. In addition, the military judge also acted as a literacy for soldiers.

While literacy, soldiers are taught the idea of ​​being loyal to Mr. Guo, as well as the meaning of the existence of nouns such as the country and nation.

Slowly, subtly let the soldiers possess the thoughts that Mr. Guo expected.

In this way, when the army was first established, Guo had completely mastered the army and never allowed the prestige of any officer to surpass him. He was the absolute master of the army.

The soldiers in the lower class knew what he looked like.

He promoted and trained the middle-level small officers. Later, he established the Shouyangshan Martial Arts Hall and the Martial Arts, systematically storing the training of officers, and directly controlled the lifeline of the middle-level army.

Finally, there are tight upper-level generals who are restricted by wartime and non-wartime concepts and military rotation garrison system.

The upper-level generals can be said to be a group with great power but very limited powers. The separation of military ranks and military positions, as well as the difference between powers in wartime and non-wartime periods, greatly limiting the possibility of powerful generals challenging the prestige of the emperor.

After Guo Peng's explanation and understood Guo Peng's control mode of the army, Guo Jin often thought about what he could learn from it.

The problem he is facing now is nothing more than the lack of prestige at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and he is not very confident in his [martial ethics], and feels that it is difficult for him to rely on prestige to control the army, so he must deal with the army in a more institutional way.

The veterans who were meritorious at the beginning of the country will eventually grow old and gradually wither, and will not pose a long-term threat to him. The five generals of the Guards will pose a long-term threat.

If he doesn't impose the five generals and change the system, he will not sleep well for a day.
