At this time, a new military operation was brewing in Beijing.
Early in the morning, Hong Chengchou, Ning Wan, I, and Fan Wencheng came to Dorgon's Prince Rui's Mansion.
Dorgon's Prince Rui's Mansion is the Nangong of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty, lived here for a long time. Both brothers Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Qiyu, Emperor Emperor Zhu Qiyu of Ming Dynasty, were both under house arrest here.
But now, this place has become Dorgon's Prince Rui's palace.
Because the Forbidden City had been burned down by Li Zicheng, leaving only the houses near Jianji Hall untouched, Prince Rui's Mansion had become a temporary palace.
Many of Jiannu's major policies were discussed at Prince Rui's Mansion.
"The time has come." Dorgon said to Hong Chengchou and the others, "After the previous demonstrations, the Han officials and gentry in the pass must have a clear understanding of the military power of the Qing Dynasty. At this time, we will impose
This kindness will definitely make other people be grateful to our Qing Dynasty, and I can spread the message to several provinces north of the Yellow River."
Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and finally stopped killing.
After Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng and I said in unison: "The regent is wise."
Dorgon smiled and said: "Then the implementation of the hair shaving order will be suspended."
"Next, it's time to appease the local area." Hong Chengchou said with renewed energy, "I recommend Wang Aoyong, the former governor of Tongzhou in the Ming Dynasty, as the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue to appease Shandong and Henan."
"Yes." Dorgon nodded happily, "Let Wang Aoyong conquer Shandong."
Ning Wanwo said: "Prince Regent, you are a villain who fears power but not virtue. If you only send civil servants to appease you, I am afraid that there will still be stubborn resistance from the officials and gentry of the former Ming Dynasty, so you must supplement it with the Eight Banners soldiers."
"This is natural." Dorgon said.
While he was talking, a man came in and reported: "Master, Joluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu have arrived."
"Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here." Dorgon smiled slightly and said, "Let them in quickly."
After a while, two tall generals walked in. Both of them were wearing white cotton armor with copper nails. However, the general on the left had red edging on his cotton armor, while the general on the right did not.
As soon as they entered the door, the two generals immediately knelt down on one knee.
"The slave put a white flag on the forehead of the mountain to pay his respects to the master Zhenjueluo Bahana."
"I am a servant of the Han Army under the White Banner. I have built a real stone pillar on the forehead of the mountain to pay my respects to my master."
"Get up." Dorgon solemnly said, "You two get ready..."
Before he finished speaking, another slave in clothes hurriedly walked in.
Dorgon frowned and said, "Cao Eryu, what are you doing?"
"Master." Cao Eryu was so frightened that he quickly knelt down on the ground.
"We have an express delivery from Weihui Mansion in Henan."
"Henan?" Dorgon said, "Bring it here."
Cao Eryu handed the letter to Dorgon on his knees.
After Dorgon read the letter, his brows immediately relaxed.
Then he said to Jieluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu: "You two go back and make preparations. First go to Weihui Mansion in Henan with Wu Weihua, and then enter Shanxi from Taihangxing or Baixing. If the prefectures and counties along the way take the initiative to surrender, try your best to surrender."
Don't kill anyone. If you encounter someone who refuses to surrender, don't be lenient, just kill them all!"
"Hey!" Joluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu agreed.
Because of this letter from Wei Huifu, there are some deviations in history.
Originally, Joluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu were supposed to go to Shandong.
But now, two people were sent to Shanxi by Dorgon.
The two left, and Dorgon ordered Cao Eryu: "Go and invite Zhen Yechen, who has the red flag on his forehead."
When Cao Eryu snorted and was about to leave, Ning Wanwo reminded Dorgon in a low voice: "Prince Regent, it is best to let Xianghuang Banner or Zhenghuang Banner go to Shandong."
This is a reminder to Dorgon not to eat alone.
Dorgon then thought about it and said to Cao Eryu: "Let Baiyintu come."
"Hey." Cao Eryu shouted, got up and trotted away.
…
Among the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the most noble one is not the straight yellow flag, but the bordered yellow flag.
As the leader of the Eight Banners in Manchuria, the Xianghuang Banner was responsible for the emperor's bodyguard. Therefore, although Shunzhi had not yet entered the customs, the Eight Banners soldiers of the Xianghuang Banner had already settled in the Forbidden City.
At this moment, a Jia La with a yellow flag was training on the grass fence of the Royal Horse Prison in the Forbidden City.
The Eight Banners military system theoretically consists of three hundred men forming a Niulu, five Niulus forming a Jiala, and five Jiala forming a Gushan, which is a flag.
Therefore, in theory, the number of troops for one banner is fixed at 7,500, and the total number of troops for eight banners is 60,000.
But this is not actually the case, because the Eight Banners aristocrats are also divided among themselves and compete for power. After half a century of development and competition for power, the number of troops among the banners is not balanced.
Moreover, the total number of Niu Lu has reached 311, with a total of more than 90,000 Eight Banners soldiers.
Among them, Xianghuang Banner has nearly 50 Niulu, with a population of nearly 15,000.
At this time, one of the Niu Lu was galloping on the fence, and there were more than 300 Eight Banners soldiers.
The military system of Jiannu was divided into three levels: Niulu, Jiala, and Gushan. The military system was divided into five levels: bannermen, infantry, vest, Hongyala, and Bayala. Among them, Bayala was the guard, that is,
The white-armored soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
Men with banner status automatically become bannermen when they reach adulthood, which is equivalent to the reserve force of the Eight Banners.
Each Niu Lu will be selected from time to time. As long as the flag men reach the qualified level in riding and shooting, they will become foot soldiers.
The infantry here does not specifically refer to infantry, but is just a title, because there is actually no clear division between infantry and cavalry in Jiannu. Regardless of vests, infantry or bannermen, those who have horses will bring their own horses with them when they go on an expedition.
Some well-off flagmen would even bring their own coats and equip them with horses.
Therefore, when Jiannu mounts his horse, he becomes cavalry, and when he dismounts, he becomes infantry.
However, Jiannu was better at infantry combat, and cavalry combat was actually not as good as the Eight Banners Mongolia.
After becoming a foot armor, you need to accumulate combat merits to be promoted to a vest and a red toothed warrior. The vest can share more loot than a footed warrior and a red toothed warrior.
The Jurchen people are a fishing and hunting people.
Fighting is also a kind of hunting for the Jurchens.
Therefore, the division of spoils also retains the hunting method.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hunters who kill the prey directly can get an extra portion of meat. The remaining meat will be distributed in an orderly manner according to the status of the hunter. As long as everyone participates, everyone will have a share.
If you have a vest and a red fang, there is no need for assessment or competition.
As long as you have enough merit, you can automatically be promoted to one level.
However, Baya La soldiers with higher status need to undergo assessment and competition, because the number of Baya La soldiers for each Niulu is fixed, only ten! A few Niulu will have a few more.
Sometimes there are even less than ten.
The standard of a white-armored soldier is that it is better to lack than to overdo.
If you want to become Bagara, most of the time you have to squeeze out one of the original ones.
Of course, if you are lucky and the Bajala quota is vacant, then there will be no need to compete, only assessment.
However, since Lao Nu started the army with thirteen pieces of armor, very few white-armored soldiers have actually died on the battlefield in the past fifty years. These war machines are really powerful.
These white-armored soldiers are humanoid tanks.
Because each white-armored soldier wears three layers of armor, with an innermost layer of chain armor, a middle layer of cotton armor, and an outer layer of iron armor, it is difficult for swords, guns, arrows, or even fire blunderbuss to pose a threat.
Coincidentally, what is going on in the pasture field at this moment is the competition between Bagala.
One of the young and strong vests with the yellow flag is going to challenge Bagala of Benniulu.
This challenge even alarmed Gushan Ezhen, who was wearing a yellow flag, and brought a dozen of Jia La Ezhen, Mele Zhangjing and Niu Lu Ezhen to come over to watch the fun.
There are not many young people who dare to challenge the white-armored soldiers.
Baiyin Tu also wants to see who is so bold?
"Boy, what's your name?" Baiyintu looked at the young man in front of him.
He looks to be in his early twenties, with a strong back and a muscular body, and is almost six feet (1.92 meters) tall. This is no wonder. As the saying goes, he is strong and strong, and this guy is the material of a fierce general.
[Most of the fierce generals in ancient times were tall and strong, because tall generals had a natural advantage on the battlefield. Just like a lightweight champion versus a heavyweight champion on the battlefield, they would basically only be killed instantly]
The young man said proudly: "To tell the truth, my name is Yabram."
"Yabulan, right?" Baiyintu nodded and asked, "Who do you want to challenge?"
Speaking of this, Baiyintu subconsciously glanced at the strong man standing next to him who looked like an iron tower.
Yabulan's eyes also fell on the strong man, and his eyes instantly showed a look of fanaticism: "I want to challenge the first warrior in Manchuria, Lord Taizong's title of Batulu, Obai!"
The Eight Banners soldiers, Baiyintu and others who were lined up were in an uproar.
You actually want to challenge Obai? Obai is the best warrior in Manchuria!
There was also a fierce glint in Obai's eyes, and he took a step forward and asked, "Yablan, are you sure?"
There was a sound of inhaling in the fence instantly, because Obai was also very tall, almost six feet tall. Two six-foot-long people stood face to face, their eyes met, and a substantial murderous aura continued to flow from the two of them.
It overflows from the body, and others can feel a powerful sense of oppression just by looking at it from a distance.
"I'm sure." Yabulan's eyes became more and more eager.
"Well, that's commendable for your courage!" Baiyintu praised loudly.
"You will regret it." After Oboi said this, he turned around and went to prepare.
"If I can't compete with the best warrior in Manchuria, I will regret it for the rest of my life!" Yabulan, instead of being intimidated by Obai's momentum, became even more excited.
After he came down, he asked Bao Yi to put on the armor for him.
The first game of the competition is a fixed program, riding and shooting!
And they must wear triple armor according to the standards of white-armored soldiers.
"Quick, quick, quick, put on the armor for me." Yabulan got off his horse and called to his servant Zha Liangnian.
Zha Liangnian hurriedly trotted forward to help Yabulan put on his armor. However, because his movements were a little slow, Yabulan was scolded all over his face.
Finally, he kicked Zha Liangnian to the ground.
After working hard for a long time, I finally put on my chain mail, cotton armor with yellow flags, and the outermost straight iron armor, got on the horse again, and took out a pair of longbows.
