After sending the prisoner away, Chen Qianfu returned to his house.
His wife Mengshi was already waiting, "What should I say?"
Chen Qianfu smiled at her and said, "When the matter is done, His Highness will ask Mr. Xu Ge and Xiao Shen to be the matchmakers. The third and fourth sisters will be welcomed into the palace and canonized as wives. The other two Huang will also be welcomed into the palace."
"Erhuang?"
"The daughter of Su Lubo Huang Binqing, and the younger sister of Huang Zongxi."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Meng." Meng didn't have any objections to the fact that Erhuang would also enter the palace. As long as the two younger sisters could enter the palace, it would be great. It is impossible for Jianguo to have only one or two women around him. As for the position of the second concubine,
, she didn’t even have the slightest idea. In the future, it would depend on which of the two Meng and Erhuang could give birth to a son for the prison country first. When the time comes, the mother will naturally become the second concubine based on the son’s wealth.
"His Highness said that among your brothers who are willing to join the army, they should go to the Banner Camp to train for a few months, and then go to the martial arts hall of the accompanying camp to study. If they succeed in the future, they will naturally have a bright future. If they are willing to join the literature, they will be arranged to study at the Liangtai Office first.
deputy."
Mrs. Meng dusted off her husband and said, "It's up to them to choose this." After saying that, she hurriedly went to announce the good news to her two sisters. She thought that her two sisters were still young and she would have to teach them well.
There is no need to delay the matter of husband and wife. The sooner you get pregnant, the better.
Chen Qianfu entered the study and began to plan the supervision of the newly recruited Fujian Zheng Navy and Zhoushan Navy.
·····
At Zhu Yihai's insistence, although Zheng Cai and Huang Shixun were somewhat dissatisfied with the reorganization, the soldiers had already entered the main camp and the supervisory state was strong. In the end, they did not have the courage to resist. Both naval divisions were integrated into Fubo Camp.
Zhu Yihai was incorporated into the Buying of the Qianjiu Department.
This made the dynasty feel a little happy at first.
However, after this, Zhu Yihai's men and horses were a little too expanded.
After discussing with Zhang Mingzhen and other generals, Zhu Yihai planned to adjust the current structure of the Northern Expeditionary Army to facilitate better dispatch.
The three armies were divided into three armies according to the level of horse foot. They were awarded the title of Imperial Guards' Horse Army, the Imperial Guards' Infantry and the Imperial Guards' Navy. Zhang Mingzhen was awarded the title of Admiral of the Imperial Guards' Infantry, and Zhang Mingyang was awarded the title of Imperial Guards' Infantry Commander.
Ruan Jin is the admiral of the Royal Guards' horse army, and Ruan Jin is the admiral of the Imperial Guard's naval forces.
There are a total of forty-two battalions of the Guards Infantry, organized into four towns: Yongwei, Shenji, Bannerman, and Shizhong. Each town has two associations, two Biaos under its jurisdiction, and two battalions under Biao's jurisdiction.
The town has a general military officer, assistant generals, guerrillas, and garrison camps.
Below the battalion, there are still sentries and teams. The sentries have a thousand commanders and the teams have a commander.
For example, Yongwei town has a general military officer, who has jurisdiction over the left and right auxiliaries, and also has two battalions, one and two battalions in the town. In fact, the whole town has ten battalions, with 5,000 combat soldiers and 900 auxiliary soldiers.
The four towns of Yongwei, Shenji, Flag Bearer, and Shizhong are all under the command of Admiral Zhang Mingzhen. Zhang Mingzhen also has two more battalions, for a total of 42 battalions of infantry, with 21,000 combat soldiers and 7,560 auxiliary soldiers.
As for the Guards' cavalry army, due to limited war horses and cavalry, there is currently only one town in Jinwu, and there is only one Xie Jia Ti Bi in the town, with a total of six battalions of men and horses, 3,000 cavalry, and 1,080 auxiliary troops.
The escort navy has jurisdiction over the two towns of Fubo and Zhenhai, and is divided into two naval divisions: outer sea and inland river divisions, each with ten battalions, plus two battalions of Tibiao, for a total of twenty-two battalions, totaling 11,000 soldiers.
, 3,960 auxiliary troops.
In addition, due to the special nature of the military police, the Habayashi Battalion was awarded the imperial guard's personal army. It also temporarily established one town and six battalions, with a total of 3,000 infantry and cavalry, and 1,080 auxiliary troops.
After compiling the list, all the generals felt a little confused. Unknowingly, the Northern Expeditionary Army had snowballed and grown so big.
From Meishan soldiers incorporated the Shizhong camp, then crossed the sea and destroyed the Xujia camp, then attacked Zhujiazhuang and destroyed Li Yuchun's tribe, then marched to Jiaxing, absorbed the Shiyong camp, and then combined Liu Kongzhao and Yang Wencong's 20,000 troops, and then reunited after arriving in Pinghu
He joined Tu Xiangmei and other Jiaxing rebels, and later joined forces with Prince Deng's personal guards, reinforcements from eastern Zhejiang, and now the Zheng Shui Clan, Huang Binqing Navy, etc.
There are a total of eight towns of soldiers and horses, with a total of 38,000 combat troops, 13,680 auxiliary troops, and a total army of 56,000.
This number is already very large.
This is because every time they were compiled, a lot of them were eliminated and dismissed. Otherwise, there would be many more. At this time, Zhu Yihai couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the military leaders in the late Ming Dynasty had so many soldiers. If there were no restrictions, it would really snowball infinitely.
.
With more than 50,000 horses, even if each person earns more than a penny a day, it will cost seven to eight thousand taels of silver a day. Even if it is half rate, there are still three to four thousand taels of silver. This is only the rate, and does not include food, equipment, etc.
Fortunately, we are marching in the south of the Yangtze River. If we were marching in the northwest or outside the customs, there would be no need to fight. The problem of food supply alone could collapse this army.
Zhu Yihai is still carefully hiding the information about this army, and still calls himself the Jiangnan Admiral Zhu Wu. However, because of the frequent good news about Yan Wogong and Li Yuchun, not only does Beijing not mention the Jiangnan Admiral Zhu Wu at all,
Even the people in Nanjing and Suzhou only regarded it as a small group of people running away from the tributaries.
Hangzhou.
Bo Luo, Zhang Cunren and others have already somewhat admired Zhu Wu's tenacity. According to the reports of General Yan, Li Mingyu, Zheng Jiwu and other generals, Zhu Wu has now suffered repeated defeats.
The fewer there are, but even if they can refuse to admit defeat, they have become fucking bandits. They recruit thieves and rogues everywhere and rob the people everywhere. Now the people hate them deeply. They are often besieged by the landlords and gentry when they collect grain in the countryside.
The boss is dead today, and the guerrillas are dead tomorrow. Only the landlords and gentry can make Zhu Wu unable to come back.
Boluo was now concentrating on preparing for the division. Only 3,000 Eight Banners soldiers were left to garrison Hangzhou, and the remaining 10,000 people followed him back north, wiping out the rebellion in the Susong area along the way, and then returned to Beijing.
At the beginning, we divided our troops from Jiangning and went south, taking 15,000 Eight Banners, and more than 120,000 Han troops surrendered. The march south went smoothly, and the Eight Banners soldiers basically suffered no losses. Now I started to count the troops and horses, and found that the Eight Banners only suffered losses after going south.
It's less than a thousand, but if you look closely, it's only a hundred discounts in Yuyao, another five hundred discounts in Zhujiazhuang, and less than three hundred discounts under the city of Hangzhou, Qiantang River, Funing and other places.
The majority of the casualties were actually the entire army of 500 soldiers from Jishiha who were wiped out. This was the total annihilation of the entire battalion. In addition, a battalion was also wiped out in Yuyao, but it only had 18 banners.
"This damn Jishika, I wish I could tear him into pieces."
General Bai Yintu persuaded the country, "Jishiha also died for the country, and there were indeed many casualties in that battle. Now that there are no more people, it is better to care for him generously."
His subtext is to give Jishika a good evaluation, so that they can get along easily with the regent in Beijing. After all, Jishika is also their subordinate. If Jishika seems too incompetent, it is also their incompetence.
"Please give him half a future, and let his son inherit the throne. We can fight side by side and give him a little help."
The Later Jin Dynasty started with martial arts and attached great importance to military achievements. Moreover, they themselves had a small population, with only over 200,000 soldiers when they entered the Pass, so they treated the flag soldiers very generously.
After entering the customs, Beijing issued an edict to allocate land to bannermen, each with thirty acres, and a salary of 40 taels per month for bagara and 30 taels per month for horsemen, and 48 shi of rice per year for military expeditions.
Give him food.
Although this salary does not seem high, the Eight Banners' pensions and rewards are extremely high, and they are basically not discounted.
Everything is a military-first policy. No matter what happens, soldiers' pay and rewards will not be deducted. This is why the Eight Banners were better at fighting in the early days. It was bitterly cold outside the pass, and there was no future by hunting and farming. The only way was to wear armor and join the army, rely on military merit rewards and looting and carving up.
This is the big head.
Moreover, the widows and widows of Qiding can still receive half pay and half salary for life.
"According to our Eight Banners death compensation rules, we will give you 400 taels of silver for Jia Lazhangjing, and the officers below will be given 350 taels to 100 taels of silver according to their rank."
"Anyone who is in charge of the banner will be appointed as Ba Yala to lead the charge. If the leader is killed in battle, he will be given two hundred taels of silver, one hundred and fifty taels of horse and infantry, and one hundred and thirty taels of artillery.
"If it is Manchuria, Mongolian conscripts and Manchurian Han slaves will temporarily serve as armored soldiers and the dead will be given one hundred taels of silver."
"If any of the families of those who died in the Eight Banners have children who can be trained to become talented people, they can serve as soldiers and support them. If there are no children or children who are young and unable to stand on their own and have no dependents to rely on, they will be rewarded with five coins of silver and three measures of rice every month.
Until the age of sixteen.
"If an officer's family has no support, they will continue to receive half of the officer's salary during his lifetime."
"If the children of officers and soldiers killed in battle become adults and cannot earn a living due to disability, half of the soldier's salary during his lifetime can be retained to support him."
These are common practice. From the emperor to the regent, to the owners of the Eight Banners, and the owners of the small banners, no one dares to have an idea about this pension.
This amount of money is a one-time death benefit and does not include funeral expenses, etc.
"Li Yuchun has also asked for pensions several times, but has still not been given."
"According to the rules, Li Yuchun's troops are neither the Eight Banners nor the Han Army Flags. They are just Green Camp soldiers. Many of them are not even Green Camp soldiers."
"For the soldiers of the green camp who have a roster in the army, seventy taels of silver will be given to the horse soldiers who died in battle, and fifty taels of silver to the infantry. Those who are not on the roster will not be given."
"It's not okay not to give them one tael. After all, they still have to work hard."
"Then each person will be given a pension of three taels."
The Qing Dynasty treated Banner as a lifeline. If a Bagala guard died in battle, they would be given 200 taels of silver, and 150 taels for both the vest and infantry. Even if their coated slaves went into battle, they would die.
I'll give you one hundred taels for each.
But if it were the Green Camp soldiers, it would be much less. The horse soldiers who died in battle would only receive 70 taels, and the infantrymen would only receive 50 taels. This means that the Green Camp horsemen were less than half of the Eight Banners horse soldiers, and the infantrymen were one-third.
The green battalion soldiers are not even comparable to the coated slaves of the Eight Banners.
As for those who are not on the roster, it is even less than one or two.
"In the Ming Dynasty, if a commander equivalent to our Jia Lazhangjing died in battle, he would only receive ten taels of silver, eight taels for a thousand, six taels for a gun, five taels for a hundred, and three taels for soldiers. With such a small amount of compensation, how can people
Fight?" Bolo said disdainfully.
The rich war rewards, pensions and robbery system of the Qing Dynasty greatly inspired the soldiers to dare to fight and fight. Every time they went out, not only the named bannermen actively participated, but also the remaining members of their families.
, and even his own coated slaves accompanying the army.
"Tell Li Yuchun that the pension money will be distributed to the families of the fallen soldiers. If he dares to withhold even this money for corruption, I will skin him." Bolo said fiercely.
"Tomorrow I will leave for the north. If he dares to be greedy, I won't mind peeling off his skin and beating his tendons when we pass by Jiaxing!"
"Inform me, Mr. Yan, that he will come with us back to the capital this time! The regent has written a letter and asks to see him by name."
