After the Prussian defeat by Emperor Napoleon I and the disastrous treaties of Tilsit in 1807 (see Sovetsk), he assisted Scharnhorst in the reorganization of the Prussian army.
As chief of staff to F. von Bülow, he fought (1813–14) against the French in the War of Liberation, and as minister of war (1814–19) he completed the reforms that were initiated earlier.
His measures, including the introduction of general conscription and the development of a national guard, formed the basis of Prussian military strength.

 Franz Mehring: Absolutism and Revolution in Germany (Part 2b-1)
We say ‘relatively the most expert judge’ because, even though von Hertzberg was the most important and experienced Minister of Frederick’s later years, it was one of the most invariable rules of the first servant of the state that no Minister got full insight into the condition of the state finances.
Boyen is the famous pupil of Scharnhorst, friend and co-thinker of Gneisenau, Grolman and Clausewitz, the Prussian Minister of War from 1814 to 1819, who resigned after the final victory of Junker reaction in the Carlsbad Decrees.
How the Imperial Chancellor, von Caprivi, after the appearance of Boyen’s book, not to mention any other contemporary documentary evidence, could deny in the Reichstag that the ill treatment of the soldiers was the hallmark of Frederick’s army, the cement that held it together, is a complete enigma.

Gerhard Johann David von Scharnhorst (November 12, 1755 - June 8, 1813), Prussian general, was born at Bordenau near Hanover, of a farmer stock.
He succeeded in educating himself and in securing admission to the military academy of Wilhelmstein, and in 1778 received a commission in the Hanoverian service.
The steps by which he converted the professional long-service army of Prussia, wrecked at Jena, into the national army as we know it to-day, based on universal service, were slow and labored.

 The Prussian Army
Although these new areas initially yielded 13,000 recruits, they were not ready for service before March 1814 and, of a total of 22,000 men eventually produced, only a small number were used in siege operations.
With the peace in April 1814, the task of demobilizing the prussian Army fell upon Hermann von Boyen who, in September 1813, had given his name to the conscription laws that were to become one of the keystones of the Prussian Army.
These laws rationalized the 'Krumper' system and under them each Prussian was required to serve for three years with the regular army, for two years with the reserve and for fourteen years with the Landwehr.
