One Piece of Song Dynasty

After ascending the throne, Li Xin's first decree was about the military. Now that he has become the emperor, he can no longer let the military power be so laissez-faire. In the ten years before he ascended the throne, Li Xin basically delegated all other powers except financial power to military generals. Of course, this is mainly It was an expedient measure to resist the Jin soldiers and the Northern Expedition. Now that the country has been established, it is naturally not applicable. After all, the lessons learned from the Tang Dynasty more than a hundred years ago were there. Of course, Li Xin also knew the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty's military management, so the status and treatment of soldiers were Li Xin will not surrender and will only make a fuss about power.

Therefore, Li Xin immediately divided the military power into three parts. The power to decide the war was in the military aircraft department, the power of command and training, rewards and punishments, personnel promotion and transfer was in the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the power of recruiting and logistics, military pay and retirement placement was vested in the Metropolitan Governor's Office. If the power belongs to the Ministry of War, the power of military pay and retirement arrangements will not become an empty shell in the Ministry of War.

Originally, Li Xin abolished the lifelong system of military service, and each soldier could retire after serving for three years. This policy was to limit the influence of generals in the military. Now that the power is divided into three, it can further limit the birth of factions in the military, and in the future Li Xin will also frequently change the garrison location of each army. An army will be stationed in one place for up to three years, and will be transferred to a new place after three years, so as to prevent military-local collusion.
