The baggage battalion was not very concerned. As long as the money and food supply were sufficient and the food and drink were sufficient, the soldiers would have nothing to say.

This saved Li Jia a lot of effort and sent someone to investigate the corruption situation, even if it was completed.

The Shooting Department is just a few words, and the situation is rare. After all, the Gendarmerie Department not only supervises ordinary soldiers and generals, but also has the power to supervise the baggage battalion.

As a result, Li Jia felt much more relieved after the situation was solved. At least the imperial guards had not left his palms, so he was fearless.

One of the characteristics of the Five Dynasties' troubled times is that the soldiers are the generals.

Whether it is paying wages, training, or promotion of lower-level officers, they are controlled by their chief officers. In this way, will we not rebel?

After Li Jia's reform, the power of the army was divided in detail.

The power to command the military lies in the emperor, that is, the army is nominally owned by the emperor, and the private power of the army is cut off.

Logistics lies with the Ministry of War, which is responsible for the army's food, money and pay, etc. The baggage battalion also belongs to the Ministry of War, which is convenient for jurisdiction and can also be supervised. Moreover, the power to transfer troops lies with the Ministry of War. Without the Ministry of War, generals cannot transfer their troops under their command.

The daily training, promotion, reward and punishment of generals and schools will be concentrated with the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Gendarmerie Department, and the Gendarmerie Department will be directly under its jurisdiction.

The role of the Military Affairs Office is to coordinate and balance. To put it bluntly, it is the emperor's military adviser and staff, and has great advice on the commander of the army, the direction of dispatching troops, and logistics supplies, and has some say in the army in daily life.

In this way, the power of the school is reduced to the extreme. Only by guiding daily training and leading military power can we regain our strength when fighting.

"However, even though a martial arts lecture hall is established, a wise man will lose, and there will always be a gap in all aspects. Therefore, the generals will definitely recruit staff, staff, and coordinate and assist in management. Isn't this a certain omission?"

Li Jia pondered.

Generals are not omnipotent in some aspects, and many people have many shortcomings, which are particularly obvious in the process of leading troops to fight. At this time, we should give suggestions to people, such as staff officers and military advisors in the army.

People like collecting and researching intelligence, making suggestions, formulating military documents, conveying orders, instructions, supervising, and inspecting implementation, are basically recruited by generals themselves, such as joining the army, clerks, praising paintings, etc., collectively called staff members.

When a general reaches a certain position, he must recruit staff, just like a local official, saving energy.

In this case, it is naturally a private official who plans for it, such as Zhao Pu's and Zhao Kuangyin.

Instead of letting them recruit themselves, we should pair them up and plan them completely.

After thinking about it, Li Jia had an idea. He felt that he could go directly from private to public with the staff of the generals and school students. In other words, he would give their staff a staffing and reduce the general's expenditures by the same time.

This is also a reference to the practices of the Song Dynasty.

Its restrictions on the shogunate system were relatively strict, and the employment was changed from self-destruction to central appointments, and a large number of shou-level officials were appointed by the central government, such as the name of the Jiedu, Observation, Defense, and the League Training Commissioner, the Promotion Officer, the Judge, the Chief Secretary, the Observation Branch Officer, etc.

Later, it was used in the Ming Dynasty.

This means that it is directly responsible to the central government and has the function of supervising the chief official.

However, now there are basically no feudal states in the Tang Dynasty. The chief secretary of the Jiedushi naturally does not need to set up observation and sub-subs, but the General Staff Department needs to be established.

"You guys go down!" Li Jia waved his hand, and he sank into thinking, and the situation was almost the same, so he naturally stopped talking nonsense.

"You guys stay!" At this time, the emperor spoke again.

Zhuo Ming and others looked puzzled, waiting for the emperor's instructions.

"You can hold these secret boxes. If there is any important situation in the future, you will write a book and send it to the palace. Those eunuchs will be sent directly to my desk, and you don't have to report it layer by layer!"

As he said that, several eunuchs came out carrying several ordinary wooden boxes, which stunned the people.

"Here!" Zhuo Ming was full of joy and quickly responded. Is this Jian Zaijunxin? I feel so happy that I am different from an ordinary general.

Or, the emperor was worried about a general, so he made some moves?

With full of guesses, they slowly left with surprise and doubt.

"This is a good start, a secret system, start with the army!"

With a whisper, Li Jia's idea of ​​the General Staff became more and more mature, and then she couldn't wait to leave the military camp and came to the Military Affairs Office.

Li Huai was summoned immediately, and then the emperor told him about the setting of the General Staff. He was extremely confused.

After all, he is also a smart person, and he immediately understood that this is the transformation from a regular position to achieve surveillance of generals?

However, this is a bit too straightforward, and for the generals, it is a shady suspicion.

However, he also knew that he could not go against the emperor, otherwise the holy family would be gone.

After considering a few words, Li Huai said carefully: "The affairs of the staff are truly insightful. What Your Majesty said is also very appropriate. But the minister thinks that this staff is a personal plan by the generals and must be a person who can use it smoothly. If the court assigned it, it will probably be a mistake, which will make people dislike it."

"If there is a staff officer who is confused, self-righteous, and directly takes power, and has friction with the generals, it will probably delay His Majesty's efforts!"

In fact, Li Huai was not worried about anything else, because he was afraid that this system would make Pan Chongche, who was in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers, uneasy. His bright knife could think of this as long as he passed the political ability.

"Your words make sense!" Li Jia understood his suggestion. The staff is a very personal thing. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, it has always been arbitrary. If the shogunate becomes a regular and appoints others, the generals will definitely be upset.

It is even more likely to cause conflicts, but it is not beautiful.

"That's it!" Li Jia nodded and said, "The wing, guard, and border ministers all set up staff offices to serve as their shogunate. There are five people in one wing and ten people in the guard. The head is the chief of staff, and all of them are the chief of staff. The salary is provided by the court, and the personnel are appointed by him, and then report to the governor's office!"

"It's not suitable now. You can't be too hurrying. It's easy to get rid of the big steps. We'd better be more appropriate!"

The emperor obeyed his advice, and Li Huai was instantly happy. His role was quite great. However, when he turned around, wasn’t he the Minister of Military Affairs Office also a staff officer? He was also a military staff officer.

"By the way, you and the Governor's Office will issue an order. Don't delay it. If you have the reason, it is to reduce the burden on the generals and the school."
