Before dawn in early summer, a warm breeze was blowing. Then, when Li Jia felt the warmer bed, she was nostalgic in her heart and then woke up.

"Hmm?" Li Jia's eyes had not opened and she snorted softly. The palace woman beside the bed was startled. She knelt down quickly, lowered her head, said cautiously, quite aggrievedly: "Your Majesty asked me to wake you up last night, I must... "

Only then did Li Jia truly wake up, rub her eyes, and said in a daze: "I remember."

The quilt is very warm, not to mention that there is a warm girl in her arms, Li Jia really doesn't want to get up.

But if you don’t afford it, you will feel uneasy, just like you are used to studying at work. If you miss work by chance, you will feel extremely guilty. More importantly, those literati are very worthy of beating, and the king is greedy for beauty. Evening dynasties, etc. can spread all over Fanyu within a few hours.

When Li Jia thinks of this, he is angry. He is useless to go to court. It is just a face-saving project. If you really deal with government affairs, you have to go to the government affairs hall. The consequences of the king not serving early are not that serious.

After a little bit of trouble, Li Jia gritted her teeth and sat up first, and took the bedding up.

"Your Majesty!" The girl in the quilt also woke up, knelt on the bed, serving and dressing for the emperor, with her smooth back very beautiful.

"I slept too late last night, so you'd better sleep more!" Li Jia said softly, with a rare gentleness.

The girl whispered lightly and lay back. She went tossed all night last night, but now she was exhausted and could not even open her eyelids. The emperor's words were as she wanted, so she no longer refused.

Then, under the service of the palace maid, Li Jia washed up and changed into a regular dress.

The palace servants brought breakfast, Li Jia enjoyed it, and the eunuch Tian Fu, who was on duty, served him.

He is Tian Zhong's godson, and he is on the turn of a personal service with several clever little officials. After all, Tian Zhong is a junior supervisor of the provincial eunuch and has a lot of management tasks, so how can he serve him personally?

"When is it now?" Li Jia asked while drinking the soup.

"Go back to Your Majesty, it's four o'clock!"

"It's almost six o'clock!" Li Jia thought in her heart, "Damn it, I'm so sleepy."

After using breakfast, Tian Fu said in a crisp and sharp voice that the people he arranged to summon today and the things he handled were in an orderly manner.

"Take out a pair of jade bi from the inner treasury and give it to the King of Jiujiang!"

Li Jia thought about it and felt that she needed to comfort her cousin Li Gao, showing that the saint's family had not changed. Otherwise, with the bureaucrats' lack of ability to cause trouble, the two brothers would be really a bit alienated.

"promise……"

Then, he went to pay tribute to the Supreme Emperor and continued to maintain his filial character. After all, for the former Tang Dynasty, the word filial piety was too extravagant, mainly because Emperor Taizong of Tang did not make a good start, and the result was that the latter was completely wrong.

Li Jia is determined to establish filial piety and governing the country with filial piety is the kingdom. Otherwise, as soon as his butt is firmly sitting, his son will rebel, and it will not be fun to get rid of his flesh and blood.

Later, I went to see several pregnant concubines, Lipin Hou Liniang, Yupin Jiang Xiaoyu, Shunpin Xizhu, and comforted him a little, and time came to Chenshi.

Several heads of the Ministry of War and ministers who had been waiting for a long time were received by the emperor.

The four of them stood up and thought a little. It was obvious that the emperor had thoughts about the army, otherwise why did he only summon a few of them from the Ministry of War?

"Your Majesty is here-"

"I welcome your Majesty!" The four of them bent down and bowed down quickly.

"I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. I'll let you come here today just to understand our local army in Lingnan and improve it by the way!"

"After all, this is a chaotic world, and there may be a war of destruction. It is not enough to use the imperial guards alone. Local governments also need to be filled!"

The emperor was very direct this time. These people were all veterans from the Ministry of War. Although they didn’t know what they were capable of, they had a strong qualifications and naturally had a lot of knowledge.

"When Liu was in power, in addition to the imperial guards, the localities were divided into four categories..."

Locally, the Southern Han Dynasty has four units organized. They are sorted by their status: the town army trains the left and right street army and the local army.

The town army is relatively elite, and is a regional force commanded by its respective governors, and is mainly responsible for guarding important frontier towns or transportation hubs.

The regiment training army and the street army are both local troops, depending on the wealth of the region, and basically belong to public security and peacekeeping forces. Just like the Citizen Self-Defense Forces and Militias, the security function is greater than the combat function. When necessary, the rulers of the Southern Han Dynasty will also increase their military strength.

The local soldiers are specially equipped with combat troops in Lingnan, and the main source of troops is provided by the Manliao tribes in various places. It is considered a tribute relationship. The Liu family protected these tribes and obtained soldiers.

For example, the only cavalry in Lingnan: Yue cavalry, which is basically composed of Manliao. Although it rides a horse in Yunnan, it was requisitioned during the Northern Song Dynasty because it was fearless of death...

These troops distributed in the sixty states were scattered together, with a total of as many as 100,000. If you are willing to give up money, those barbarians who have been Chineseized can still recruit tens of thousands of troops.

Do you think there is no need to be castrated except civil servants? On the contrary, in the command system of the army, the Southern Han Dynasty has always had the habit of appointing eunuchs as generals, which is earlier than civil servants castrated them.

Considering that their ministers performed castration surgery before their office, the Metropolitan Government had a similar rule in the army.

In the five generations, how to prevent military generals from usurping the throne was the sword of Damocles hanging on the heads of all rulers.

Due to the loss of sexual function, eunuchs have limited ambitions and become a very small number of people that the monarch can trust.

Although they were born as eunuchs, most of these generals were familiar with fighting strategies, bows and horses.

For example, Pan Chongche, the number one general in the Southern Han Dynasty.

"In this way, then cancel the division of the local town army training street army!"

After hearing this, Li Jia was silent and said:

"If the division is too detailed, it will easily cause disorder in command. From today on, it will be called the township soldiers, who will return to farm in spring and summer, and will be collected in autumn and winter. They will be exempted from corvee labor. The imperial guards who are half of the food and food supply will be issued by the Ministry of War to issue orders from the Transportation Office!"

"There are different landmarks and different households, so the number of soldiers in the village is different, so we need to divide them in detail."

Li Jia said that several people from the Ministry of War naturally responded to each other and divided them in detail, one of them said:

"Counties are divided into upper, middle and lower, and naturally the same is true for the soldiers in the township. The soldiers in the upper county are five hundred, three hundred in the middle county, and one hundred in the lower county, and only one hundred in the lower county is maintained!"

"In this way, the soldiers in large states can reach thousands, the soldiers in small states can also reach more than a thousand soldiers, and the soldiers in local towns can reach two hundred thousand."

"It's very good, but the local township army commands are not affiliated with the local area, but are appointed by the Governor's Office of the Five Army. The food and salary are allocated by the Ministry of War. The civil and military routes are different, so you should not be careless."

Li Jia said lightly.

"The last memorial was issued to the prime ministers to discuss it so as not to appear to be arbitrary!"
