"The country's destiny is the way to attack and defend."

"If we cut off Hebei and Henan with one knife, our army can bend Jizhou from all directions. If we capture Jizhou, there will be no suspense. To the south, Xuzhou's governor Tao Qian is old and stupid, and most of the Yuzhou is in the hands of our army. He can seize the land of Jiangbei within ten years."

"In the next ten years, Liang, You, Ji, Qing, Yan, Yu, Xu... and the Sili School Commander's Office, the thirteen states in the world, we occupy nine of them."

Dong Hu looked at the generals all blushed and smiled.

"hehe……"

"As long as we wait for our brothers to be united and not be in civil strife, we will account for half of the world in the next ten years. Within twenty years, the chaos in the world can be quelled."

"We don't want to take off our pants and fart. We will fight the world, and the world is ours. It's just that it's too early to be the emperor and king. It will allow all the princes to form a joint force, and it will not benefit us brothers. You can know it in your heart, and it's not appropriate to make everyone in the world know it."

With a "boom", Dong Chong, Dong Ju and others stood up together, and the chest-beating ceremony was very neat. Li Jue and Guo Si were much worse. They did not react until General Dong stood up.

"Haha...sit all."

"promise!"

Another "boom" sound, the twenty or thirty generals sat down together, and everyone stood upright and raised their chests and raised their belly.

"We can seize all the land in Jiangbei within the next ten years. We must not miss the establishment of our own official system, with the upper and lower levels of generals. The civil service system has nothing to do with us. Today's military discussion is mainly about the recognition of the rank of generals."

"The soldiers and horses of any era are composed of imperial capital, local county soldiers, border soldiers, and military troops. The Ministry of War, and the general of the Governor's Office of the Five Army leads the world. There is nothing to say about this. The five armies under the name of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, the four cavalry camps in front, back, and the Pojun camps, and the Shanzi camps, including the Chang'an camps under the name of Li Jue and Guo Si and the eight gates of Luoyang are all affiliated with the Eighth Camps in the Southern Army, the Chongqi Camps, and the Young Army's regular troops form the Five Battalions of the Northern Army."

"The Southern Army, the Northern Army belongs to the Chang'an Imperial Army, and the underage soldiers of the Young Army belong to my son's name and retain the name of "Young Army Camp". Since then, each army has only ranked "one, two, three", that is, the four cavalry camps in front, back, left and right are the first, second, third, and four cavalry camps in the Southern Army, Pojun Camp, Shanziying, Chang'an Camp, and the eight gate commanders are the first, second, third, and four camps."

"The head of the 13th battalion in the north and south is a fourth-rank general, and the commander of the two armies in the north and south is a third-rank general, and then there are second-rank generals and first-rank marshals."

"The battalion leader is a fourth-rank general, and the battalion general is a fifth-rank general. Below are the sixth-rank lieutenant, the seventh-rank lieutenant, the eighth-rank brigade, and the ninth-rank squadron."

Dong Hu said seriously: "The state-level general is the fourth-rank general, the county-level general is the fifth-rank, and the city-level general is the sixth-rank. Due to actual needs, the grasslands and grasslands in the south and north of the desert, the plateaus, and the Western Regions Protectorate have more than one state. The general of the Protectorate and the general who commands two or more states are the third-rank generals."

"The first-rank marshal and second-rank general have a special status. They are only awarded during wartime, not for lifelong military ranks. The rest are ranks. As long as they do not violate military rules and regulations, as long as they do not turn to civilian positions, they are all lifelong. Even if they are old, injured and retired, they will still retain their military rank honors and still enjoy military rank salaries after retirement."

Dong Hu looked at Li Jue and Guo Si, and knew that the two had broken up, frowned.

"When my uncle was still in Luoyang, we said in Hedong that if all the princes rebel, you two can do the same thing, because you are good at planning and the other is brave. If you two join forces and fight with any princes, you will have a high probability of winning."

"Today, the world is in chaos, and each state needs more authority, so... we still retain the state governor who holds military and political power for the time being, and will definitely cancel it in the future. No one is allowed to object to this!"

"Each state has a prefecture, a governor, a general, and a civil governor. The prefecture governor is the general in charge of military affairs, a governor is the law, and the governor is the general in charge of military affairs, a governor is the general in charge of military affairs, and a governor is the general in charge of civil farming. How do you two choose? Should you choose to follow the governor of Wenzhou, the governor, the chief civil affairs envoy, or to follow the military as a general?"

Li Jue and Guo Si were stunned. Dong Hu clearly deprived the state governor of the state governor and divided the state governor into three parts. If the governor, the fourth-rank general, and the commander of the central governor of the Central Committee, the state governor would be an empty ambition.

what to do?

...

Guo Si clenched his teeth and strode forward.

"The last general is willing to follow the military! He is willing to serve as the first general of the Southern Army!"

Li Jie's nostrils burst into anger. What is the most important thing in the troubled times? Of course it is the soldiers! But he also knew that Dong Hu had incorporated their soldiers into the Eighth Battalion of the Southern Army and became a member of the "Imperial Guard". They could no longer fully control the ten thousand soldiers of the Chang'an Camp.

After hesitating for a while, Li Jue solemnly bowed down.

"The last general is willing to be the soldiers of the Dong Shuai!"

Seeing the two of them like this, Dong Chong, Dong Fu and others, who were already standing, all showed strange looks...

"hehe……"

"It's better, Li Jue, you can stay in the Northern Army as a first-fourth-rank general."

As he said that, Dong Hu looked at the chief envoy Dong You.

"You, please send me a letter to Xu Rong, and transfer Xu Rong as the governor of Yanzhou, Guo Si as the general, and transfer Fan Chou and Hu Zhen to come and be awarded the fourth-rank general. There are some experiences of veterans in the Governor's Office of the Five Army."

"promise!"

...

"That's all the things that generals have been identified. You are all generals in the military. Whatever you have done before is the past, but you must abide by the military rules and regulations in the future!"

"Born in distress and die in happiness."

"Remember, we are all poor families. If it is a peaceful time, no one of us can make a name for ourselves. Any aristocratic family we once envied was earned by generations. We are in a world of great struggle. Our generation, as long as we work hard and strive for each generation, can lay a glorious family for future generations!"

"We sleep in the open and fight in blood, and a generation has completed the efforts of their generations! If the world is not determined and the thirteen states are not settled, if anyone of you is greedy for a moment and stupidly violates the military rules, then don't blame us for being cold-blooded and ruthless!"

"boom!"

Everyone stood up in awe.

"promise!"

Dong Hu looked at everyone one by one...

"The Governor's Office of the Five Army will report the grade certification of the generals and commanders of each battalion as soon as possible, and the Ministry of War will verify it and issue a seal letter and a waist sign."

"After meeting."

...

After Dong Hu left, Dong Chong walked to Li Jue and Guo Si with a sigh and pounded the two of them in the chest a few times.

"You are all rich, and our brothers are not as thick as your arms. Today you have to invite your brothers to drink!"

"Li Jue and Guo Si, you have made money in Chang'an. If you don't invite your brothers to drink, you won't agree—"

"Ha ha……"

Dong Fu laughed loudly and grabbed Guo Si's arm.

“Go around…”

Li Jue and Guo Si were the most clear about Dong Buyi Cong's rules. He saw that he commanded thousands of troops, but he didn't have much money in his pocket, and he was far less prosperous than Dong Zhuo and his generals.

Dong Hu was a general who was poor from top to bottom. In the past, he had only two or three years of real salary paid for his meals, which was half the salary of the Han generals of the same level. Logically speaking, such low treatment should be easily won over when Emperor Liu Hong and Dong Zhuo were alive, but for ten years, no general has betrayed him.

Li Jue, Guo Si, Yang Fang and others just became regular and were eager to get along with Dong Chong, Dong Fu and others. Naturally, their chests were slapped and they were clamoring to go to the best restaurant.

For the sake of Yanzhou Governor, Li Jue and Guo Si rushed to Luoyang, fearing that he would be one step slower, but now... neither of them wanted to make the clay sculptures in the highest position.

When Liu Yan proposed the governor of the state, it was because the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army rebelled again. In order to effectively mobilize all forces in a state to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army that occupied the mountain and was the king, the court then established the position of governor. For example, the governor was almost the same, while the governor was the same.

In this era, both civil officials and military generals had the right to recruit officials by themselves. The provincial governor was a highly centralized prefecture. Now Dong Hu clearly stated that he had divided the military power, supervision power, and civil governance power of the provincial governor. The provincial governor was not much different from clay carvings and wood sculptures. However, the words could not be said that the fourth-rank general, supervisory governor, and civil governor of the civil governor also needed to be responsible to the provincial governor. The only difference was that the fourth-rank general belonged to the Ministry of War, and the supervisory governor was assigned by the Censorate, and the Central Chief Envoy of the Ministry of Personnel selected officials, deprived the provincial governor of the right to appoint officials.

Dong Hu absolutely did not allow prefectures and counties to continue to centralize power. When Dong Zhuo was alive, he had already restored the county and state command system. Dong Hu did not care whether the princes obeyed or not. The territory he controlled was restored to the command system. In this way, the military power of the prefect was divided, and then the civil rights of the prefect and the governor were divided into the prefects in the country. It would be extremely difficult for the prefects in various places to rebel.

A group needs a strong centripetal force, and he does not want to rely on the righteousness of the court. In this way, he must consider the issue of "condensation of nucleus" and need to give others a goal.

If the previous official positions and general positions are maintained, some people have low positions and high positions, while others have high positions and no positions. Whether it is Dong Zhuo or Dong Hu, they are all regular soldiers of the court. Even if Dong Hu is called the King of Qiang to the outside world in order to avoid the court's interference in the development and growth of Dong Buyi Cong, Dong Buyi Cong was also the de facto "nine-side important town" border army of the Han Dynasty.

Since Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Dong Buyi has been officially transferred to a Han army, and the positions of Han generals are relatively low. Just like after Dong Zhuo restored the county and state commander system, Dong Buyi was demoted from a large number of deputy generals to a lieutenant, while the newly recruited generals of various princes were generals. How to determine superiors and subordinates after captives were surrenders? Li Jue and Guo Si's position is higher than that of Dong Chong, and Dong Jue and a lieutenant, would he have to make his brothers position lower than that of Li Jue and Guo Si?

If you want to elevate the official positions of Dong Chong, Dong Fu and others, you must submit a report to the court. The court has been thrown to Jingzhou by him. What if the court does not agree or agree?

The court does not agree with it, and Dong Hu can also leave the court and appoint officials himself, or even appoint officials who do not belong to his territory, just like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers. In this way, how different is this and becoming a king?

In addition, there is a problem of "progress" for generals. If the general's official position is promoted too high at once, there will be little room for progress in the future. It is easy for generals to slack off or turn their energy to plunder the people's wealth.

In this case, it would be better to be thorough, not recognize the official position of the court and directly establish his own small court in one step. Moreover, the six departments, cabinets, and the five armed military governor's offices in Liangzhou and Luoyang were already similar to those in the small court, so it would be further improved.

The official system reform almost copied the practices of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, but he abolished some miscellaneous generals and directly simplified them into several ranks of generals, similar to those of several star generals.

Dong Hu always believed that generals should be a model of simplicity, efficiency and discipline. He directly abolished many good names for generals, and used the feathers on the helmet, armor style, and the general's waist to identify the positions, attributes, and military numbers of generals.

The military reform was not big, mainly because of the recognition of the rank of generals. It seems that only the status of Dong Hu's direct general has been improved, but in fact it is to clarify the functions of the Kyoto Imperial Army and the county soldiers and generals, strengthen the central government's control over the local area, and further strengthen its control over the local area.

Not only should the rank of generals be recognized, but the rank of civil servants also need to be recognized, but there are also issues of the distribution and re-concentration of the power of court officials, such as replacing the three ministers with the cabinet and replacing the prime minister.
