Seven hundred and eighty-nine sixth edict

The basic central structure is basically completed here.

The central core department was arranged by Guo Peng clearly.

Cheng Yu and others knew about this.

Before the official announcement, Guo Peng made an agitation to the central political and military system he designed, and of course he did not allow them to participate too much, just listen to the orders.

The ministers were a little confused at first, but later they gradually came back to their senses.

The emperor wants to centralize power.

Yes, how could the founding emperor not centralize power?

A while before the founding of the country, many people were discussing, thinking that the emperor might have to do a large-scale centralization move and get all the power he deserves, and would not be willing to be an emperor like Emperor Huan Ling.

This is not something that could not have happened, nor is it beyond the expectations of the ministers. They just didn't expect Guo Peng to change the administrative structure.

However, if Guo Peng had any exquisite arrangements, it might not be necessary to strip the matter of the Great Honglu and set up a Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The positions of Guangluxun and Weiwei were changed to those of military personnel to do, and the group of the Imperial Guards was set up in the central government.

Guo Peng has not yet made clear arrangements for other positions serving the emperor, such as Shaofu.

The ministers didn't know what organization Guo Peng planned to replace those positions, or whom he appointed to do.

It seems that there is still a show later.

The military reward is the sixth edict, and the information on this edict is also quite large.

Judging from the Imperial Guards set up by Guo Peng, the Imperial Guards are not literal guards, but a combination of Imperial Guards and Guards.

The Imperial Army was responsible for defending the imperial city and the palace city, and the Guard Army was responsible for protecting the entire Luoyang area except the imperial city and the palace city.

The newly built Luoyang City by Guo Peng is divided into three parts: the most central imperial city, the palace city with a circle of outer areas, and the outermost outer areas. The three concentric frames are set together. The imperial city is Guo Peng's home, the palace city is the service location of the central administrative department, and the outer city is the part of all other Luoyang cities.

The Imperial Guard is the original Tiger Guard.

Guo Peng reorganized the Five Thousand Tiger Guards into the Imperial Guards, and appointed the left general of the Imperial Guards and the right general of the Imperial Guards, with Xu Chu as the left general of the Imperial Guards and Dian Wei as the right general of the Imperial Guards.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei took turns, one person was responsible for directly inspecting the palace city, and the other person was responsible for inspecting the entire imperial city. They were rotated daily, and the treatment of the two was the same, regardless of height. The main responsibility was to defend the royal family and defend Guo.

The guards are different from the imperial guards, so the guards are much larger.

In Guo Peng's concept, the entire Sili School Command, namely Hedong County, Henei County, Hongnong County and Henan Yin are all Luoyang areas, with a general capital area, and the capital is directly under the capital, so the guards need to protect these four areas, as well as inside and outside Luoyang City.

In order to defend these places, the guards were of course very large, with a total of 115,000 people, and a total of 5,000 imperial guards, and 120,000 were the absolute force to protect the capital area.

The Guards took the General of the Guards as the chief commander, and also had four generals, including the left general of the Guards, the right general of the Guards, the front general of the Guards, and the rear general of the Guards.

Guo Peng ordered Zhao Yun to be the general of the guards and serve as the commander-in-chief of the guards.

Cao Hong was also ordered to serve as the left general of the Guard, Cao Chun was appointed as the right general of the Guard, Li Dian, the nephew of General Jianwei, Li Qian, became the former general of the Guard, and Guo Dong, the former governor of Taiyuan County, became the rear general of the Guard.

The four of them each led an army and helped Zhao Yun take charge of the guards together.

The guards directly obeyed Emperor Guo Peng and did not obey the command of anyone else.

The existence of the Imperial Guards directly replaced the need for the existence of the nine ministers such as Guangluxun and Weiwei, and they were divided into power.

Of course, this is not unreasonable to the ministers. Judging from the new emperor's approach, it is obvious that he is strengthening centralization.

Especially military power, all important military power is in the hands of one's own people and directly under the emperor's own command.

This certainly weakened the power of scholars, but now no one wants to sing a counter-tone with the new emperor.

When they ascended the throne, you sang the opposite. Do you want to be Xun Yu or Zang Hong?

This is part of Guo Peng's overall plan to weaken the power of the scholars, and it is also a matter of being a righteous and open plot to accomplish with the prestige of the founding emperor. This is similar to metaphysics, because you can't see or touch the prestige, but it really exists.

He wanted to transfer some powers that were originally controlled by scholars to other trusted subordinates, such as the Central Imperial Army, from then on, could not be directly controlled by scholars.

And some powers that originally belonged to scholars in the imperial palaces will also be replaced by eunuchs.

Guo Peng wanted to completely eliminate the scholars from his inner court and army.

The central army was established to squeeze out the soldiers from the struggle for military power. Guo Peng would not do anything like the Ling Emperor used a large number of scholars to serve as positions among the eight lieutenants of the Xiyuan Garden.

The army is an army, and scholars are scholars. Scholars are honestly civil servants, and they can never take control of military power.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's experience and lessons were right in front of him. Guo has not forgotten how much effort he put into defeating Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and even became a human being when Yuan Shu's dog licked him for many years.

In terms of the entire army, Guo Peng made great changes, directly changing the military system of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

He first determined the regulations that civil officials were engaged in civil positions while military officers were engaged in military positions, and further determined that county magistrates were civil officials but not military officers, and military officers could not serve as civil positions. All current military generals and civil officials were transferred, and other positions were vacant.

Then he established the military rank system and the military post system.

Among the rules he founded, the military rank represents the merits of a soldier and the treatment he deserves, while the military vocational status is the command status of a soldier and the wartime sequence.

Military ranks are often established. If you have one, you have one, and you can have one at the same time, not the only one.

Some military positions are often placed and some are not often placed. Those who do not often are only dispatched when needed. One position is one person, and they will be revoked when the position is over, or other permanent positions will be changed.

The military ranks range from high to low are tenth grade, first-class general, second-class cavalry general, third-class cavalry general, fourth-class guard general, fifth-class general, sixth-class general, seventh-class Mingwei lieutenant, eighth-class Xuanwei lieutenant, ninth-class Xuanwu lieutenant, and tenth-class Wude lieutenant.

Among military positions, the Central Army's military positions are always established, with two generals of the imperial guards, one general of the guards and four generals in front, back, left and right, and a total of seven positions.

There are also regular and infrequent local troops.

What is often appointed is the original local garrison founded by Guo Pengxin, the current local garrison commander, as well as military positions such as the lieutenant and the chief lieutenant in the army sequence. Generally speaking, the local garrison commander is the highest rank among the local regular military positions.

The rest are not always placed.

For example, there are many generals such as Sizheng, Sizhen, Siping, and Si'an. These are not often placed and will only be placed when needed.

Among them, Guo Peng also stipulated that the General of the Four Trials and General of the Four Towns is comparable, but the position is different at the same time, mainly depends on actual needs. They are both the commander of the one army. When the army needs to go to war, the commander will be given the position of the Four Trials or General of the Four Towns and will be withdrawn as soon as possible.

General Siping and General Si'an are in the same position, and are both assistants of generals of the Sizheng or the Four Towns. They can be appointed at the same time in wartime, with the same power and status, and they will be withdrawn immediately after the matter is finished.

This set of rules can be said to have completely changed the military system since the Qin and Han dynasties.

Cao Ren and others were also surprised when they first learned about it, but this was Guo Peng's decision. They did not object, and they were also very interested in that military rank.

Although they didn't know how Guo Peng would be granted, they didn't know what kind of reward they would get.

So they still kept looking forward.
