In addition to these main central departments, Liu Bei also decided to standardize military power and establish a central military management and command system.
He divided military power into the power of commanding troops, the power of deploying troops, and the power of logistics, which were not subordinate to each other.
Because the army currently implements a recruitment system, Liu Bei's army has a specialized training organization and training tradition.
Any new recruit who enters the army must first go to the recruit camp and stay for two years before coming out to learn techniques, tactics and basic cultural knowledge. This was considered normal by people at the time under the Liu Bei-style military system education for many years.
However, originally this existence was in the nature of a military camp, not a serious functional department, but now the situation has changed.
Liu Bei became emperor. In order to continue this good policy and continue to play its role, Liu Bei decided to strengthen this organization and decided to set up a new departmental training academy to be responsible for the training of new recruits across the country.
Any recruit, no matter where he comes from, is under the management of the training academy. He needs to undergo two years of daily training in the training academy and pass the assessment before he can be considered a qualified recruit.
The Military Training Institute has become a formal military training department, responsible for the power of commanding troops.
As for the power to mobilize troops, Liu Bei also planned to set up a new department in the central government and set up a Privy Council to take charge of the power to mobilize troops.
He will use the Privy Council as the place of marching staff, attracting people with military talents to enter, execute plans for army operations, issue combat orders to the army generals who execute the plans, and dispatch marching staff to assist the generals and provide tactical guidance.
Other military logistics matters are handed over to the Military Headquarters among the eight ministries. The Military Headquarters carries out systematic management of military logistics. Any material needs of the army will be managed by the Military Headquarters, including military expenses.
There is the Military Training Institute for commanding troops, the Privy Council for troop deployment, and the Military Department for logistics. The three military functional departments were established according to Liu Bei's blueprint, forming an effective central command system.
The three military departments are at the same level, not subordinate to each other, but cooperate with each other. There is only one direct superior to them, and that is the emperor.
In addition to the central command system, Liu Bei also needs to clearly define the powers of military generals. On this point, he will not be confused.
Regardless of his personal relationship with the generals, this cannot be a reason to delegate power. The ownership of military power is crucial to him as a military strongman.
Therefore, Liu Bei set a rule that the entire military logic of the Third Empire of the Han Dynasty needed to be changed.
The army is managed and trained by the Military Training Institute on a daily basis, and the military headquarters provides logistical supplies according to the needs of the Military Training Institute. During this period, there is nothing to do with the Privy Council. The Privy Council will not get involved in these matters for any reason, unless ordered by the emperor.
Military generals are special beings. Because of their positions, they may have some contact with the military, or they may participate in military training due to orders from the military training academy.
However, in ordinary times, military generals cannot mobilize any troops of their own army to handle anything except their own personal soldiers. Even for personal guards, the transfer of more than fifty people requires the permission of the Privy Council.
When a war or special garrison mission occurs, the Privy Council will formulate plans and provide standards, discuss with the emperor and obtain the emperor's approval, and convey orders to the training academy and military generals with the emperor's military symbols and emperor's warrants.
After the military generals received the orders and military symbols, they went to the military training academy with people from the Privy Council to check the orders and military symbols with the person in charge of the military training academy to determine the legality and validity of the orders.
Afterwards, the military generals obtain the permission of the Military Training Institute based on the content of the tasks, obtain the command authority of an army with the permission of the Military Training Institute, and then are responsible for the specific implementation according to the tasks given by the Privy Council.
The entire operating logic is that military generals issue orders to the Military Training Institute and the Privy Council through the emperor, and thereby temporarily obtain all command powers of the army in the name of [General Zhen X] and [General Zheng X] to perform tasks.
During the execution of missions, generals mainly obtain the command power of the army and some other special powers based on the emperor's permission. The content of the powers is not certain and is mainly adjusted according to needs and the wishes of the emperor himself.
After the mission is completed, the general who performed the mission will return the army to the training academy and return to a daily state.
Private soldiers, domestic soldiers, etc. that were common during the Second Empire were not allowed in the Third Reich, and neither were local private soldiers.
Liu Bei plans to take back the military power of local governors such as state governors and county governors at some point in the future, and clearly stipulates the administrative attributes of local chief executives, stripping them of their military attributes, and completely transforming them into administrative officials.
Nicknames like "junjiang" will become a thing of the past.
In this large-scale organizational reorganization, Liu Bei could be regarded as completely overthrowing the entire superstructure of the Second Empire and starting over again, giving full support to the establishment of the Third Reich.
For those who followed Liu Bei from the Second Empire to the Third Empire, this organizational reorganization meant a change in power. For them, this was something worth paying attention to.
Of course, Liu Bei would not treat them badly, because all the enemies had been purged, so these power agencies must be following their own people.
For the eight most important ones, Liu Bei came closely with his own people.
For example, Liu Bei appointed Jian Yong, who was the first to follow him, to take charge of the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, which was responsible for the selection of officials and the power of personnel.
Jian Yong was the first old man to follow Liu Bei, and he was an old man who started fighting with Liu Bei in Youzhou.
When he was in Liangzhou, he was responsible for the personnel business for a long time, and many outstanding and capable officials were selected by him.
Although he did not directly go to the "battlefield" to fight the old forces, when Liu Bei was fighting against the old forces, under his auspices, he sent a large number of qualified reserve officials from the Liangzhou area to Liu Bei.
The addition of these fresh blood made great contributions to Liu Bei's ability to digest the power of his political opponents as quickly as possible after defeating them. Therefore, Jian Yong is one of Liu Bei's indispensable "strong generals" on the political battlefield.
Officials born in Liangzhou were not captured without committing crimes in these years. There were also many officials who suddenly rose up in power and were eager to show off their power and were captured as a result.
The things some people did were ugly, and Liu Bei himself felt that his face was disgraceful. The punishment of erring officials who were his disciples was more serious and decisive than the punishment of ordinary officials.
But compared to the insects of the old era, the overall quality and moral level of the new officials trained by Liangzhou Prefecture School are indeed more than an order of magnitude higher.
Here, Jian Yong made the greatest contribution.
At the same time, Guoyuan, who was in charge of official performance examination in Liangzhou, was appointed by Liu Bei as the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the doctor of the examination department.
He is in charge of the very important merit examination department in the Ministry of Personnel, which is responsible for the evaluation and confirmation of officials' performance, and supervises whether officials have deceived superiors and concealed their behavior, so as to determine the list of promotions and demotions.
This was also professional for Guoyuan. When Liu Bei implemented the official elimination system in Liangzhou, Guoyuan was appointed by him to be in charge of the governance of Liangzhou, responsible for assessing the performance of officials.
There are many promoted officials in Liangzhou who are eager to obtain more political achievements and then be promoted, so they do a lot of face-saving things. Guoyuan is dedicated to dealing with these things.
Under his auspices, for several years in a row, double-digit officials were found to be messing around every year and were severely punished by him.
In the area of personnel affairs, Guoyuan can be regarded as a person who backs up policies and applies the brakes. Without his efforts, Liangzhou's officialdom would certainly not be maintained in such a relatively clean and stable state.
It's probably going to cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, Liu Bei believed that Guoyuan could shoulder this responsibility.
After the Ministry of Rites divested itself of its educational responsibilities, in the eyes of ordinary people, it looked like a tiger that had lost its claws, but this was not the case.
Even if the Ministry of Rites no longer has educational responsibilities, it is still an important position for the construction and maintenance of the entire country's ideology.
It can be said that the way an imperial dynasty governs the country, what ideas it uses to guide its governance policies, and important sacrificial tasks, etc., are all within the scope of the Ministry of Rites.
The reason why Liu Bei did not want the Ministry of Rites to have too much authority in stripping away the educational authority was that the Ministry of Rites still had greater authority and role than the Propaganda Department.
Moreover, under the current situation, the continued compilation of the yet-to-be-completed Jiade Tongyi, which is based on the ancient literature school of thought, is also the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Rites was responsible for the "Constitution" of the Third Han Empire.
Of course, after the conservative forces within the Ancient Literature School were liquidated by Liu Bei, a considerable part of the original compromise content in "Chiade Tongyi" became no longer necessary, so it will still take some time for the new Third Reich Constitution to be completed. promulgated.
Therefore, under this circumstance, Liu Bei decided to appoint Ruan Yu, an important penman who had long been responsible for the public opinion front, as the Minister of Rites, to control the public opinion front through trustworthy people, and to fully control the compilation of "Jia De Tong Yi".
Liu Bei has full trust in his veteran fan.
The Ministry of Household Affairs was originally a department with great powers. It had to manage finance, population, and agricultural production.
Later, Liu Bei felt that agricultural production was very important and involved all aspects. If it were left to the Ministry of Household Affairs to coordinate, it would seem that it would not take it seriously.
In order to show that the Han Empire attached great importance to agricultural production, Liu Bei simply separated agricultural affairs and set up a department to take charge of it. In the future, the Ministry of Agriculture will be the main responsible department for a series of land reclamation operations and Jiangnan reclamation operations. Slowly advanced.
As for the candidate who was only responsible for finance and population affairs, Liu Bei decided to appoint Zhen Yan, who had been hardworking and uncomplaining for a long time.
In the Liu Bei Group, apart from following Liu Bei on the battlefield and being responsible for security work in the early days, Zhen Yan was responsible for financial affairs.
Especially after Liu Bei came to power, he actually became the economic head of the entire empire as the Shaofu. He accumulated very rich experience and had quite sophisticated methods of handling economic affairs. He was by no means an ordinary financial manager.
At present, the powers of the Grand Sinong and the Young Master are in his hands. He also manages the serious treasury and Liu Bei's private treasury at the same time. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the top leader in the economy.
Now that Liu Bei became emperor, he certainly didn't want the very capable Zhen Yan to continue to be his personal butler, so he decided to promote Zhen Yan from the position of Shaofu to the position of Minister of Household Affairs.
In Liu Bei's view, it was a very meaningful thing to straighten Zhen Yan and let Zhen Yan officially become the "Mr. Accountant" of the Third Empire of the Han Dynasty.
As for the responsibilities of the Shaofu, Liu Bei planned to hand them over to his family member, Liu Ye, who was also a member of the Han clan.
Liu Ye's talents are definitely not as simple as the Shaofu, but as Liu Ye is the only Han clan member from another branch besides Liu Yu who currently serves under Liu Bei, Liu Bei has relatively high expectations for him.
To be precise, Liu Bei hopes that Liu Ye will accumulate enough experience in the Shaofu and get along with him. Then, he plans to arrange Liu Ye to the position of Zongzheng, and let Liu Ye, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, help Liu Bei carry out his plans for the vast number of Han people. Policy innovation for clan groups.
Liu Yu is old. After using it once, his reputation among the Han clan clan is not as good as before. Now, Liu Bei needs a new person to help him.
Liu Ye is the best choice.
As its name suggests, the Ministry of Agriculture is a department with full authority for agricultural affairs. This department specializes in agricultural affairs. After comprehensive consideration, Liu Bei decided to transfer Jingzhao Yin Sunqian to serve as Minister of Agriculture.
Sun Qian made great achievements in agricultural work both in Liangzhou and in Jingzhao Yin. Under his governance, Jingzhao Yin had good agricultural production year after year. He made great achievements in water conservancy projects, promotion of agricultural tools and agricultural cultivation. Brilliant results.
The top priority for the future development of the empire will definitely be agricultural production. In the future, there will be a huge amount of resources flowing to various places through the Ministry of Agriculture. Sun Qian is not only capable, but also has a very high personal moral level. This position is given to him, Liu Bei It's reassuring.
As for the Ministry of Law, Liu Bei decided to appoint Guo Hong as Shangshu.
The position of Sili Xiaowei was merged into the Yushitai, which enriched the power of the Yushitai and turned Guo Hong into a polished commander, while the three princes were left with only a symbol of glory. Guo Hong was obviously not old enough to retire, so Liu Bei decided to use this position to appease him.
He comes from a legal family, has a deep professional understanding of the law, and is very capable. He is of the same mind as Liu Bei and has done many dirty things for Liu Bei. Giving this position to him does not bury the importance of this position.
When Guo Hong reaches the retirement age in this position, Liu Bei will help him to the position of three princes, let him be glorious for a while and then return home gloriously.
In this way, it can be considered worthy of him.
Although the Ministry of Industry was known as the "lowest of the six ministries" in later generations, in Liu Bei's view, no matter what a country does, transportation is the first thing to consider. If transportation cannot be handled, the country should not even think about doing things.
