Of course, the main force going to Jinchuan for reinforcements could not be these Eight Banners disciples who had just passed the entrance examination to Baitang'a, but the two elite Eight Banners soldiers, Jianrui Battalion and Qianfeng Battalion.
The Jianrui Battalion dispatched 700 left-wing soldiers and 300 rearing soldiers, a total of 1,000 people, commanded by the left-wing commander Shu Mulu.
Raising troops refers to preparing troops for each banner.
In the 18th year of Qianlong's reign, the number of soldiers under each banner increased to more than 26,200. They could receive a salary of one to two and a half yuan a month. Manchuria and Mongolia could receive additional rice every month. The Han army had no rice.
The forward battalion is also divided into left and right wings, but the soldiers are only selected from Manchuria and Mongolia. Only two brave and strong soldiers are selected for the first sergeant. There are 885 subordinates in Manchuria and Mongolia under the Eight Banners, so the actual number of soldiers in the forward battalion is about 1,770.
This time going to Jinchuan with the left wing of Jianrui Battalion is the right wing of the forward battalion, which has four flags: yellow, red, red and blue. It has 400 basic forward soldiers and 500 shotgun forward soldiers. It is composed of first-class imperial guards and regular soldiers.
The Blue Banner was commanded by Boling'a, deputy capital of Mongolia.
The commander-in-chief is Duerjia, a clan member who was once the leader and counselor of Yili, the fifth grandson of Emperor Taizu, and is currently the vice-capital of Manchuria with a white flag.
According to Duerjia's arrangement, the forward battalion was led by Boling'a and set off yesterday, while the Eight Banners' disciples from Tang'a who accompanied the expedition left with Jian Yingrui and their baggage today.
In order to facilitate command, Durga divided Baitang'a into three armies: Manchu, Mongolian and Han armies.
The Manchu team was led by the second-class guard Yamantar, and included 54 people from Tanga and 250 people from Sula.
Su La is a slave born in a coat of clothing brought with the conscripts, and Manchu means idle personnel. Most of the time, Su La has to rush in front of the master and is responsible for the master's food, clothing, housing and transportation. To put it bluntly, he is an auxiliary soldier.
The Mongolian Eight Banners team was led by Amantai, the forward commander of the Jianrui Battalion, and included 75 people from Tanga and 265 people from Sula.
The Eight Banners troops of the Han Army were led by Alan Bao, the Lan Ling bodyguard, and included 107 people from Tang'a and 190 people from Sula.
The Shangsanqi coating team directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs was led by Concubine Ling’s nephew, Duyu Si Langzhong Guilin. The Ministry of Internal Affairs also had the largest number of Tang’s disciples who accompanied the expedition, 150 of them, almost four of those who took the exam.
three-quarters.
Because the disciples of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are originally wrapped in clothes, they cannot carry Su La.
It is said that Guilin's appointment as team leader this time was the intention of the palace, and he may be promoted after returning. After all, the doctor's direct aunt is the imperial concubine.
Yesterday, Guilin's cousin, the fifteenth elder brother Yongyan, who was only fourteen years old, specially held a banquet to see off his cousin.
...........
How could Jia Liu know about the specific arrangements from the upper level? After getting off the car, he followed the others to stand in line.
Because it was a unified departure, salutes and other things had to be transported in a unified way. Su La from all families, including Yang Zhi, unloaded their luggage as required and then moved it to the cart that had been prepared.
After finishing, Yang Zhi prepared to come over to find the young master, but was ordered to stand on the left side of the road with all Su La and wait. They were not allowed to move around or talk.
This made Yang Zhi, who was going on a long journey for the first time, a little flustered. He waved several times to the young master who was talking to others, but the young master was so preoccupied with talking to others that he had no time to pay attention to him.
Jia Liu and the others were discussing the Eight Banners powerful team.
Just like the common people in previous lives who gathered together to discuss which army was stronger, a group of newly promoted worshipers who had accepted their fate also debated which of the Qing's armies was more powerful when they were bored.
Some say that the forward battalion is strong, some say that the guard battalion can fight, and some say that the heroic cavalry battalion and the firearms battalion are invincible in the world.
Jia Liu listened attentively on the side. Although he did not know the details of the enemy, it was good to hear the details of the Qing army.
Chang Bingzhong insisted that the Jianrui Camp in front of him was the most powerful, and said that the Jianrui Camp was originally set up specifically to attack Jinchuan.
"Do you know that there are many bunkers built in Xishan, specifically for the soldiers of the Jianrui Battalion to practice seizing the forts... When I was a child, my father and I even went to see it, darling, that ruthless guy, just give an order from above, forget it.
Who are you? You have to climb up when you carry a ladder, and you get whipped if you move slightly slowly. In the end, you get to the point where you are like climbing up the ladder and going to bed, fast and hard..."
The predecessor of Jianrui Battalion was the Yunti Army formed in the 13th year of Qianlong's reign. The reason was that the local chieftains of Jinchuan built a large number of stone bunkers to resist the Qing army by virtue of the geographical location. As a result, the Qing army was unable to attack for a long time and suffered heavy casualties. They tried every means to
Later, Qianlong had no choice but to order the formation of ladder soldiers who could climb the bunker. Later, it was officially renamed Jianrui Battalion.
Hearing what Chang Bingzhong said, Wang Fu was a little excited: "So, there won't be any danger if we go with Jianrui Camp?"
Liu Heyi was not so optimistic and curled his lips: "You have a good idea. What if you are asked to climb the ladder with the people from Jianrui camp?"
"Oh, then I still have to fall to death!"
Wang Fu slapped his forehead, and his heart, which had already been somewhat relieved, suddenly became nervous again.
"Don't worry, who are we? Children of the bannermen!... Even if the commander-in-chief on the front line is willing to let us go to the front line, the court may not be willing to do so, so after we go there, we will mostly stay behind to help supervise and transport luck.
There is no danger in food or anything like that.”
Chang Bingzhong's words were analyzed by his father, and they make sense.
"Why don't we go to the front line and force us to go to Jinchuan?"
"...Maybe he wants to train us."
"Then what if we are asked to seize Fanzi's bunker too?"
"..."
The topic instantly changed from which Qing army was stronger to how to seize the bunker. Wang Fu and Chang Bingzhong even drew pictures of bunkers on the ground with sticks and said how they were going to capture them.
Jia Liu wanted to laugh when he heard this. Those bunkers were really easy to capture. As for setting up a Jianrui battalion, they had to fight for so many years and invest so much manpower and material resources.
I was actually afraid that if I got unlucky and encountered some emergency when I got to the front line, I would have to rush to the front line to seize the fort.
That was really like dying before leaving the battlefield.
I hope that, as Chang Bingzhong said, I will just go over and hit him, and become familiar with him...
While I was thinking wildly, two officers from the Jianrui Battalion came over and asked who was leading the team.
The person who led the team was Wang An from the Riding School. This guy had gone somewhere, so no one answered.
The people from the Jianrui camp looked around and didn't find the leader, so they simply asked the reserve disciples directly: "How many of you are there?"
Still no one answered. This group of juniors didn't know what the people in Jianrui Camp were up to, so they didn't dare to answer.
Jia Liu thought for a while, then bowed to the two officers and said: "The Han Army's Zhenglan Banner should have 17 people, but there are actually 17 people. Please tell me!"
After listening to Jia Liu's report, the forward commander of the sixth grade of the Jianrui camp in front couldn't help but look at him and asked Jia Liu's name.
Jia Liu said his name.
"Jia Dongge? Okay, it's up to you. You hold this sign. From now on, you will be the Butha of this team."
The forward commander casually threw a wooden sign to Jia Liu, then asked Commander Lan Ling next to him to write down Jia Liu's name, and then ran to the Zhengbai Banner team of the Han Army next door.
What Butha?
Jia Liu curiously looked at the wooden sign in his hand and saw two lines of words written on it, one line was "Han Army Zhenglan Banner" and the other line was "Butha Baitang'a".
Chang Bingzhong looked over and said "Oh!" and said happily: "We are the foreman of 60% of the Japanese!"
