History is always surprisingly similar. With Zhao Kuangyin's prestige, he can succeed in releasing military power with a glass of wine, let alone Guo Hao.

Shi Shouxin and others saw that Guo Hao had already made the words very clear and had no room for maneuver. Moreover, at this time, Guo Hao had firmly controlled the Central Imperial Army. Several generals had no choice but to bow down and obey and express their gratitude to Guo Hao for his kindness.

The next day, Shi Shouxin and others claimed that they were sick and demanded that they were lifted out of military power. Guo Hao happily agreed and ordered the position of imperial guards to be dismissed and served as a military governor in the local area, and abolished the Palace Front Inspection Office and the Commander of the Cavalry and Infantry Army of the Guards.

The imperial guards were respectively composed of the Palace Front Command Office, the Guards and the Guards and Infantry Command Office, which is the so-called commanders of the Three Yas.

After lifting the military power of Shi Shouxin and other senior generals, Taizu chose other people with low qualifications, low personal prestige, and easy to control as generals of the imperial guards.

Therefore, the imperial guards led the military power to dismantle it into three parts, and the generals with a lower status controlled the three bodies, which meant the strengthening of the imperial power over the military control.

As for getting married, Guo Hao currently has only one sister and two daughters have not grown up yet. If we say that their group of people are not old, Guo Hao asked Guo Rong to choose by himself.

After this, all the sworn brothers who were in charge of military power in Guo Hao were removed from their positions as imperial guards and were no longer granted people.

Although Shi Shouxin retained the title of "Guard Commander", he no longer had any real power.

On the other hand, Guo Hao sent Li Hanchao to guard Guannan, Ma Renyu to guard Yingzhou, Han Lingkun to guard Changshan, He Weizhong to guard Yizhou, He Jijun to guard Dizhou, Guo Jin to guard Xishan, and Wu Shouqi to guard Jinyang.

Li Qianpu guarded Xizhou, Li Jixun guarded Zhaoyi, Zhao Zan guarded Yanzhou, Yao Neibin guarded Qingzhou, Dong Zunhui guarded Huanzhou, Wang Yansheng guarded Yuanzhou, and Feng Jiye guarded Lingwu.

After a series of arrangements, Guo Hao's military reform began.

Brother Yi, I took the right to mobilize troops in my own hands. Although the three yamen have the imperial guards, they have no power to mobilize troops or send troops.

Second, Guo Hao also divided all the troops into two halves, half stationed in the capital and half guarded various places, so that the garrisons in the capital were enough to stop the possible changes in other places, and that the garrisons in the capital were combined enough to stop the possible internal changes in the capital.

The internal and external armies restrict each other and there will be no riots. There are more troops garrisoned in the capital than in any other place, so the emperor can ensure a firm control of the entire country's army.

Third, both the imperial guards stationed in the capital and the imperial guards stationed in other places must be mobilized regularly.

The garrisons in the capital should take turns to guard the country or the border, while some should go to the places where grain is produced. This method of taking turns to garrison is called the "renewal law".

This method is nominally to train soldiers to endure hardships, but in fact, it is to use soldiers to change defenses frequently, resulting in soldiers not knowing generals, generals not knowing soldiers, soldiers are inconsistent commanders, and commanders are inconsistent commanders.

Generals and officials can no longer unite with soldiers and establish their reputation among soldiers, so they can no longer lead their troops to confront the imperial emperors.

Fourth, the second commander of the head of the Palace Front Office and the third commander of the Guards Department will no longer be granted, so that the Guards Department will only remain the commander of the cavalry and infantry, but will no longer be the commander of the cavalry and infantry that originally united the two armies, which will split the Guards Department into two.

This system of the five highest positions are vacant, which reduces and divides the power of the imperial commander, and makes the military power obey the royal power.

Military and political reforms are in full swing, but Zhao Pu in the cabinet has something to do.

Although Guo Hao elected him into the cabinet, he did nothing. He was about to be confused and had long thought about how to deal with the current situation of the country, but Guo Hao didn't even ask a word.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor has been replaced one after another, because the local vassal states have too great power, so that the central government cannot control it firmly.

Now Guo Hao is rapidly reforming with the thunderous momentum, and he has seized the military power of his brothers without hesitation. Zhao Pu secretly admires this.

Although Guo Hao did this a bit unrighteous, he also set an example for other governors. Guo Hao's former magnanimity seemed to no longer exist, and the domineering behavior this time shocked everyone.

...

The Zhao Mansion was very lively at this time, and the room was having a banquet. More than ten people including Zhao Kuangyin gathered together, drinking and chatting.

Maybe I drank too much and my mouth stopped me, and I felt wronged and couldn't help but say it.

"Brother Zhao, you said that your Majesty is the same, why don't you trust us? We have lived and died together. I really don't know what to do if we don't let us lead troops!"

Wang Zhengzhong was straightforward and even complained about Guo Hao. The others shook their heads and sighed. They were all military governors now, but they always felt that something was missing.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. At this time, someone came in. Everyone looked back and was stunned because the person coming was Guo Hao.

"Yeah, you're here, so I'll save you all shouting. You guys are really good. You don't even ask me to drink, so make a place for me."

“…”

As Guo Hao said that, he found a gap to sit down. The others stood up and saluted, and Guo Hao signaled them not to be polite.

Everyone sat down again, and everyone looked at Guo Hao. Guo Hao knew what these people were thinking. After eating two bites of food, he took a sip of wine before looking up.

"Everyone here is my brother. I believe I will feel uncomfortable with my arrangements this time. Just say anything and don't keep it in my heart."

"I don't dare."

Guo Hao has no emperor now, and has recently made a series of reforms that have shown his skills. How dare they talk nonsense?

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Guo Hao looked at Wang Zhengzhong and smiled and said, "Zhengzhong, you are the most realistic on weekdays. Tell me, do you feel wronged this time?"

Seeing Guo Hao asking himself, Wang Zhengzhong was about to speak, but was pulled by Han Chongyun beside him. Guo Hao smiled when he saw this, drank another glass of wine, and breathed a long sigh.

"Although Li Yun's rebellion did not have any major impact, it was enough to explain some problems. I wonder if you have thought about it.

Why have the emperor changed the eight surnames and twelve kings in decades since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the battles are endless? Can you tell why?

Since I have become the emperor, I will destroy the troops in the world, build a country for a long time, and maintain long-term stability. Do you have any good ways?"

As soon as the two problems were raised, everyone pondered. Guo Hao then said: "The crux of this problem is that the power of the vassal states is too heavy, and the king is weak and the ministers are strong.

There is no curiosity to implement the governance method. As long as you seize the power, control the money and grain, and collect the elite troops, the world will naturally be stable.

You are all my confidants, and they have also learned the strategies of governing the country. You should understand the truth. I actually have no choice."

Speaking of this, Guo Hao looked around everyone, only Zhao Kuangyin dared to look at Guo Hao, and the rest avoided his gaze.

"However, if the lower part is not unified today, it does not mean that you can enter the warehouse with swords and guns, and let the horses go to the south mountain.

Although Yanyun's land is recovered, it still needs heavy troops to guard it, and the northwest region is not peaceful and someone needs to manage it. If something goes wrong there, something will happen in the future!

So you don’t have to worry about having nothing to do, and I won’t let you stay idle. If you have nothing to do, train me for the troops, but the number will be limited, and I will be included in the imperial guards.”

Whether it is politics or military, Guo Hao had a long time ago. The Central Group is just the first step. When the news is inconvenient to convey, the local government still needs some rights.

So Guo Hao first collected military power and then gave up military power, but he led the troops again, how many people, whom, and how to lead them, but Guo Hao said it.

Guo Hao knew that they would be unhappy and would use them in the future, so this time he came to appease them and let them know that they still have a chance to lead troops to war.

"Hey, this brother looks at the face, what's the name!"

After talking about the main business, Guo Hao began to look at several of the generals. Guo Hao was not very familiar with them, so he saw the general standing up and saluting, "Last general Pan Mei, have you seen Your Majesty."

"Pan Mei?"

When Guo Hao heard this name, he couldn't help but look at Yang Ye next to him. Yang Ye was promoted by him and he is getting along well with everyone now.

Pan Mei is Zhao Kuangyin's confidant. In fact, these two are good generals. However, in history, Pan Mei killed Yang Ye, and these two are born enemies.
