Duan Hong, Minister of War, said with a serious expression: "In view of the reasons for the crisis, Weichen and the Ministry of War have carefully studied it and found that the habits of our dynasty soldiers are not reasonable. Weichen suggested that the military system be greatly modified to safeguard the dynasty."

As soon as Duan Hong said this, the Chinese Chinese and Chinese in the court were shocked. The military system was decided as early as the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, but now he heard it and suddenly realized that there must be a reason.

I looked expressionless and said slowly: "What do Duan Aiqing thinks? Even if I say it, I will naturally consider it."

I had already talked about this matter with Duan Hongshen two months ago. Duan Hong stayed for a long time when he was in the Ministry of War. Although he was the Minister of War for a short time, he had held positions in various positions in the Ministry of War and the army due to his exclusion and distrust. His experience is instructed.

With this rebellion, Duan Hong had a secret talk with me and needed to significantly reform the current military system. Of course, both of them had secretly decided on the charter for everything in it. This time it was proposed at the court meeting, just to cover up the people.

Duan Hong heard me and paused slightly, as if he was sorting out his thoughts. After a while, he said: "I think the army organization of our dynasty is unreasonable. The troops were too bloated between the departments and departments, and even an incident of a general commanding tens of thousands of people. This lacks effective detailed command on the entire war, which is not conducive to maximizing the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. Especially in today's era of advanced weapons in our dynasty."

I slowly looked around with cold eyes and found that most civil servants were stunned and didn't know why. However, many military officials showed deep thoughts and frowned, as if they were thinking deeply about Duan Hong's words.

"Then." I looked at Duan Hong again and asked calmly: "What does Duan Aiqing mean?"

Duan Hong's body did not move, and was not moved by the surrounding officials. He quickly said, "I think ten people are one, ten teams are one team, ten teams are one battalion, and five battalions are one regiment. Now the central troops that can be mobilized by our Great Wu Empire are about 500,000, and one hundred legions can be organized according to this organization, with the legions as a large unit to perform training and combat tasks. Moreover, each legion will be qualified to obtain a number. This number not only represents this regiment, but also reflects the combat effectiveness and honor of this regiment."

I frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Duan Aiqing, I don't understand what the benefits of fighting after such a organization is made?" My intentional question is enough to express the psychology of most people.

"Go back to the emperor, this is of course beneficial." Duan Hong was confident in his heart and immediately replied: "I will give an example first, for example, to attack Dali. The total population of Dali is about 2 million, and the regular army is more than 13,000. In the war, it can temporarily withdraw more than 50,000 troops, so the total military force should be more than 65,000. Such military force is equivalent to the strength of our thirteen legions. In this way, our dynasty can occupy an absolute advantage in military strength as long as we dispatch twenty legions. In addition, our dynasty has advanced weapons and the soldiers are brave. It should not be difficult to win this battle. However,

The one I sent out before was to send a major general and several deputy generals to directly lead a 100,000 army to attack the Dali Kingdom. However, it is probably not easy to unify the command of a 100,000 army under one person. It is far less likely to be a general to directly command twenty legions, and to distribute different legions and different number of legions to launch strikes according to the size of the target needed. In this way, the general's command ability will reach its peak, which will simplify him from directly commanding 100,000 people to command twenty people to fight. The combat effectiveness cannot be said to be the same."

"It is simplified from commanding 100,000 people to commanding twenty people?" I pondered for a while and said, "It's interesting, this idea is good."

Of course, some people raised questions. In the previous battle, some troops could be drawn out from 100,000 people and the deputy general led the strike in batches. The goal can also be achieved.

Duan Hong replied seriously: "This is the difference between the temporary surname and the permanent surname. If the commander is not fixed, even the soldiers are extremely unfixed. The soldiers and commanders are relatively unfamiliar with each other and have no sense of belonging. Furthermore, even if a soldier makes a contribution, it is probably difficult to calculate. However, the fixed regiment is not the case. The commander stays with his soldiers all year round, trains and fights together, and each will form style and trust. The merits and demerits of subordinate soldiers can be handled in a timely manner, and the soldiers have a strong sense of belonging and honor. Such a team is more combat-effective than the team that is temporarily withdrawn."

I opened my eyes and said loudly, "It's OK." My support immediately interrupted some ministers who still wanted to oppose it: "In this way, our army's combat efficiency will be greatly improved." In fact, there is another benefit I did not say, that is, a general would be difficult to rebel. I will take the direct mobilization power of each regiment in my own hands. At that time, even if I send a general, I will draw out the combat power of twenty regiments to him, and it will be possible to fight the enemy, but it may be difficult to go back to the gun to deal with me.

The minister who wanted to object, as soon as he saw the look flashing in my eyes, thought about it carefully, he quickly understood that this was a dangerous trick for me to divide the troops. After thinking it through, he couldn't help but sweat behind him. Fortunately, he didn't fight, otherwise I would have misunderstood that he had a bad intention.

"Duan Hong." After pondering for a while, I said, "You will do the plan for military reform. Don't let my expectations for you."

Duan Hong looked upright, stepped forward, knelt heavily on the ground and said, "I will obey the imperial edict and will definitely live up to the emperor's high hopes."

After some important things were arranged, I immediately stood up. Seeing this, Xiao Duozi hurriedly stepped forward, waved the whisk in his hand and said, "The emperor has retreated."

"Long live my emperor." All the civil and military officials knelt on the hall.

After leaving the Golden Palace, Xiao Duozi came beside me and asked in a low voice: "Emperor, there is still some time before lunch. Should you go to visit the Empress Dowager, or visit the eldest princess and the eldest prince?"

Xiao Duozi knew my thoughts very well and knew that I had dealt with a lot of court affairs today, so he suggested that I go and see the two children. When I mentioned these two children, I couldn't help but feel refreshed, and my face subconsciously showed a happy smile. The eldest princess was raised by Lan'er and has been born for nearly three months now. Because when I was born, it happened that some small-scale striking was partially suppressed. Therefore, when all the civil and military officials were happy together, they jointly submitted a memorial to me to sign the eldest princess as Princess Changping, which means that the country will be in a long-term peace. Although I think this title is really unpleasant, I really don't want to persuade the officials.

However, it is strange to say. Since the eldest daughter was named Princess Changping, the troubles throughout the country have been quickly calmed down, and secretly eradicating the followers of Taishi Li and Tao Qian, and it has also been very smooth. In this way, the courtiers have made the courtiers particularly spoiled Princess Changping. As long as there are some fun things at home, they will find ways to send them to the palace.

More than half a month ago, another child of mine was born. As soon as this son appeared, all the civil and military officials were even more happy, and the female relatives in the palace were also cheering for him. Because this boy was born by the Empress of the Palace and had great talents, his status was naturally extremely noble. As long as there is nothing unexpected in the future, this prince will be another emperor of the Great Wu Empire.

Naturally, all civil and military officials submitted a joint report, begging me to establish a crown prince early to leave a deeper foundation for the Great Wu Jiangshan.

With the origin of the eldest prince, it is natural to be crowned with the crown prince. I was also happy to make this happen, so I decided to enthrone the crown prince of the Great Wu Empire when the eldest prince was full of the month, and issue an imperial list to announce the world to peace with the people of the world. Fortunately, this chaos was overdue and did not cause irreparable losses. However, there must be some fluctuations in people's hearts. The Great Wu Empire established an heir, which is also a lively joyful event across the country. In this way, it can dilute the impact of many of the last turmoil.

While thinking all the way, it didn't take much time from the Golden Palace to Kunning Palace. Dong'er, the girl who served the queen, just hit me in my arms. She was about to escape with a blush on her face, but I smiled and pulled her back: "Dong'er, why did you want to run away when you saw me?"

Dong'er's little face turned red, and I grabbed her arms tightly, but she didn't dare to struggle, so she had to bury her head and said with a whisper: "Emperor, Emperor."

I chuckled: "What are you going to do in such a hurry?"

"Back, go back to the emperor's words." Dong'er dared not look up at me: "Concubine Shu carried Princess Changping to visit the Empress. The Empress asked her to go to the imperial kitchen to give instructions and let her prepare her lunch for Concubine Shu."

"Lan'er is here too?" I said oh, so I won't go to Chuxiu Palace more, and then said, "Let's do this, I'm having meals in Kunning Palace now. You told the imperial kitchen to prepare more. Also, the Queen is still very weak after giving birth. You asked the imperial kitchen to get more medicinal foods that nourish yin and nourish yang."

"I know." Dong'er slowly bowed: "If the emperor has no other orders, I will take the leave first."

I let go of her hand and waved her to do things. Then I went straight to the East Warm Pavilion of Kunning Palace.

Lan'er was sitting beside the queen's bed holding the eldest princess herself, and the two were talking about something. When they saw me coming in, their faces were happy and they immediately responded: "Emperor."

"Don't move, don't move." I hurriedly didn't stop her, and immediately took action to hold the eldest princess in her hand, and said with a smile: "Little guy, let my father see, I haven't seen each other for two or three times, have you grown tall?"
