Qi Shan, the commander-in-chief of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who was called "Sending the Child Niangniang" by the Heavenly Army, was counting the number of his troops at this time.

He's not very good at math, no, it's bad!

When he was told that the army numbered two million, he couldn't figure out what those two million people should look like.

The Han Xiucai, who was the counselor of military affairs, couldn't explain it to Qi Shan.

There was really no way, so he had to disperse the total number of the whole army that had been added together, turn it into smaller units, explain it to him, and then add it together.

Although the Tibetan region is vast, many areas, especially the more important areas, have been controlled by the Celestial Army, so they have gathered about 100,000 troops.

However, these people are all agile and agile, and mountaineering is like walking on flat ground, so these 100,000 people are all one of three, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary.

"Well, 100,000!" Qi Shan counted with his fingers.

The next one is the reinforcements from the Western Regions, compared to this vast area, the 200,000 people they came are really not much, but they are capable!

These athletes from the Western Regions are all cavalry, they come from the hometown of Dawan horses, so they are not only cavalry, but also the war horses they ride are all Dawan horses!

These 200,000 heroes riding the Great Wan Liang Horse can easily defeat 500,000 ordinary infantry!

"Well, that's 200,000, plus the previous 100,000, a total of 300,000!" Qi Shan continued to break his fingers, feeling some difficulty in addition.

The reinforcements from the north were all infantry, and they were all ordinary, and they were also 200,000.

"200,000 in the Northland, 200,000 plus 300,000, a total of 500,000!

He had never counted so many people with his own hands.

Join the army and continue.

Then there is Tugu Lu. This area has recruited more people than the previous ones, there are 400,000 people, and the characteristic of this part of the army is that these people are the elites of all ethnic groups living in the local area!

"That's 400,000, 400,000 plus the previous 500,000, a total of 900,000! Wow! I'm running out of ten fingers!" Qishan shouted, very happy.

Again!

Then there were reinforcements from the two regions of Monan and Mobei.

Thereinto. Each of the 49 "banners" of Zasak in Monan sent 10,000 troops, plus the command organization that commanded the army, a full 500,000 troops.

This "flag" is a civil unit, just like a county in each province, so these 49 "flags" are equivalent to 49 counties.

flag, or county. There is also an administrative unit, which is the "League", which is equivalent to a province or prefecture in the interior.

The combination of these "flags" and "alliances" is the "flag alliance" system, that is, the "prefecture and county" system practiced in these special areas.

"Wait, another half million? I take my shoes off. Nine fingers have already taken up, not enough. I'm going to use my toes!

500,000 pieces, 500,000 plus 900,000, a total of 1,400,000!

Qi Shan triumphantly completed the advanced calculation process of using both hands and feet, and shouted with joy.

Joining the army continues to be introduced, and the following is Mobei Zasak, which is divided into four departments. These include the Tushetu Khan, the Chechen Khan, the Zasaktu Khan, and the Sayin Noyan Ministry.

These areas became Zazak because the supreme chief who managed the local military and civil affairs was called Zazak.

Each tribe has its own zasak, which is hereditary. It runs in the family.

And these Zasaks, either by themselves or with other clans in the vicinity, form "flags", and several "flags" then form "alliances".

Their administrative management system seems to be the same as that of Monan Zasak, but in fact it is very different.

In the Zasak Territory of Monan, all the Banner Alliances are the same as the prefectures and counties in the interior, and the central body controls the appointment and dismissal of the officials of these administrative units.

The head of the Flag League in Mobei, inherited from generation to generation, is not subject to the control and management of the central body, which is equivalent to autonomy, and then nominally obeys the leadership of the central body.

It can be seen from this that the relationship, closeness, and control between these two different Zasak and the Manchu center are different.

And these two Zasaks, whether they are Mo Nan or Mo Bei, are not as good as the earliest Eight Banners Zasak.

This earliest Eight Banners Zasak, like the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, has become the basis of Manchu rule.

Therefore, when it comes to the Eight Banners of Zasak, there are actually three, if you don't mention the earliest naturalized Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of Monan Zasak, and the Eight Banners of Mobei Zasak, I don't know which part is being said, and these three different parts are very different.

For example, the famous monk King Gelinqin and the eldest son of the prince, Boyan Nemohu Wangye, were the first to belong to the Eight Banners of Zasak of the Manchu Dynasty.

Although the Eight Banners of Monan and the Eight Banners of Mobei in the back, in daily life, the main content is not a military organization like the Eight Banners, this time the troops were reorganized in the format of the regular Eight Banners.

Therefore, it can be said that the combat effectiveness of these two parts of the Eight Banners is the strongest!

Hearing what the army had to say, Qi Shan interrupted him and said, "You tell me how many of them there are, I'm still waiting for the math here, you can't keep letting me barefoot, right? After counting, you can tell me about their current establishment, I'm very interested!"

Joining the army did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the number: "The total number of troops sent by the four divisions of Mobei Zasak is 600,000, and each unit has an average of 150,000 troops, which is an unprecedented general mobilization!"

"Well, 600,000! The original 1,400,000, plus one, plus two...... , two million in total!Hands and feet are all gone!There won't be any more, right?" Qi Shan asked worriedly.

"It can be said that there is no more, because there is still a 600,000 in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, and they did not come under your command, but went to Wu Wenrong, the governor of Yunnan-Guizhou. Joins the army explained.

Qi Shancai doesn't care where the reinforcements go, as long as they don't continue to increase!

Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to continue counting.

Then he urged to join the army and told about the current establishment of the two Eight Banner Armies.

Joining the army seemed to be familiar with these things, so he told Qi Shan about them succinctly.

The regular arms of the Eight Banners include battalions such as Xiao Cavalry, Pro-Army, Forward, Guard, and Infantry Army, and special arms include battalions such as Jianrui, Firearms, and Shenji, as well as nurturing soldiers, that is, reserve soldiers.

The sixth is the firearms battalion, which is the unit that specializes in firearms in the Eight Banners.

The custom is that each leader has six shotgun guards and one artillery armor, which is combined into a firearms battalion.

The battalion is divided into inside and outside, and the inner battalion is stationed in the capital, which is divided into two battalions of guns and artillery. The foreign battalion is stationed outside the capital and specializes in shotguns.

Now these people are in the big camp to protect the Chinese army.

The battalion has one presidential minister and several presidential ministers.

The garrison flag soldiers are combined into a battalion, forming an assistant leader, with one garrison general, two garrison commanders, as well as deputy commanders and city guard captains, to guard the danger and repair the armament.

While Qi Shan counted his soldiers and horses and understood his troops, Wu Wenrong, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, was with Mai Ke.

Among the western reinforcements, there were 600,000 soldiers from the Yunnan-Guizhou region.

Unlike other reinforcements, they reported directly to Wu Wenrong, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Wu Wenrong's subordinates originally had forty-five, and now there are another 600,000, which is already a million army.

Wu Wenrong and Mai Ke muttered for a while, and officially decided: Wu Wenrong will lead this million-strong army and revolt in the line of fire!.
