Sinian is a well-bred carrier pigeon, no matter how long the time and distance can always fly back to the original place.

– Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher, and Indian nationalist)

Since Shulhaqi and Dolgon joined forces to rebuild the New Eight Banners, in order to prevent the forces of the New Eight Banners from being too scattered, the Two Red Banners and the Two White Banners, which were originally stationed in the counties of Langxiang Province, moved their quarters to the vicinity of the provincial capital where the Two Yellow Banners were located.

The two blue banners, which were formed with the full support of Dolgon, naturally did not leave the reliance on which they depended for survival, and Dudubele, who was in the blue flag, and Nikambel, who was inlaid with the blue flag, were ostensibly the powerful banner lord Baylor, but in fact they could only mobilize half of the cavalry under their command.

Of the 20,000 cavalry of the Blue Banner, 10,000 were in the hands of Azigbele, and of the 20,000 cavalry with the Blue Banner, 10,000 were in the hands of Dordorbele, who in turn were Dorgon's own brother and brother.

As Chu Ying's son, Du Du and Nikan had no rejection or hatred for the fourteenth uncle Dolgon, who helped them sit on the throne of the banner lord Baylor, after all, it was their second uncle Dai Shan and the eighth uncle Huang Taiji who forced Chu Ying to death in the first place, as well as the five ministers who were high and powerful.

Compared with the three uncles Dolgon, Azig, and Duoduo, who were closer to them by blood, and the two uncles Shulhazy and Murhazy, who were not closely related to them, they were obviously more willing to trust the former, which was an established fact that no one could change.

In this way, among the new Eight Banners, there are as many as three banners that sincerely support Dolgon, namely Dolgon's own positive yellow banner and the two blue banners of the Dudu and Nikan brothers; in fact, the number of cavalry in these three banners has already accounted for half of the total number of cavalry in the new Eight Banners!

The number of cavalry under the five banners of Shulhaqi, the two red flags of Murhaqi and Urgudai, and the two white flags of Solgo and Subahai can only reach 100,000, because the white flag of Solgo's attempt to cross the Xingyue River was frustrated, and the number of cavalry was less than 20,000.

Even if there was a group of reserve reinforcements allocated by Murhaqi to Solgo, Solgo's white flag did not return to full strength; Solgo originally wanted to ask Murhaqi for some more reinforcements, but the establishment of the new Eight Banners changed Solgo's mind.

From the perspective of blood clans, Shuerhaqi and Murhaqi are both the younger brothers of Nurhachi, and they are part of the Aixin Jueluo family, the strongest Jurchen family in Jianzhou.

If Nurhachi hadn't died suddenly, then the two Shulhaqi brothers, the three Dolgon brothers, and the two Dudu brothers, the three generations of the Aixin Jueluo family, would not have been able to come together at all, but Nurhachi's poisoning death made the impossible a reality.

Since Huang Taiji ascended to the throne of the Jurchen Khan in Jianzhou, the members of the Aixin Jueluo family, with Shulhaqi and Dolgon as the core, have shown extraordinary intimacy and unity, and this has caused the jealousy of Urgudai, Soerguo, and Subahai.

The banner lord of the red flag, Urgudai Belle, is not only Shuerhaqi's sons and daughters, but also his friend of life and death, but in the face of power and the strength of the Aixin Jueluo family, even if Urgudai does not have the intention of harming Shuerhaqi, then it is impossible for him to have no intention of preventing Shuerhaqi.

Before Dolgon and others led the army to Langxiang Province, Shulhaqi's yellow flag and Muerhaqi's positive yellow flag, although the quality of the cavalry was stronger than that of the red flag and the two white flags, the quality advantage was obviously not enough to crush the last three banners.

By the time Dolgon and others led the army to Langxiang Province, there were already 140,000 cavalry in the New Eight Banners, which were owned by members of the Aixin Jueluo family, and the most elite cavalry of the New Eight Banners were all in these five banners.

At this time, the quantity and quality of the cavalry of this banner are unchanged, do you dare to be too close to your own in-laws? With the reconstruction of the new Eight Banners, who is not afraid of the people who love the Xinjueluo family?

No one can give an answer to the question of whether the three of them are worried about the sky, but the contradictions within the New Eight Banners can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye; if there are no contradictions, the periphery of the capital is so big, why is the New Eight Banners divided into three troops and stationed on three sides?

Dolgon's entourage, which came from the province of Mulhouse in the north of Longchamp, commanded a total of three banners, the yellow flag and the two blue flags, and stationed in the north of the county town of Longchamps, while the yellow flag originally stationed in the east and the positive red flag stationed in the west were stationed in the south of the county town of Longchamps.

In the end, the red flag and the two white flags that came to the county town of Langxiang gathered in the east of the county town of Langxiang quite tacitly, why did the three people of Urgudai, Solguo, and Subahai, who had always been full of contradictions, be willing to join forces instead of stationing with their former allies?

There is only one truth, that is, the Aixin Jueluo family is too strong in the new Eight Banners, forcing Urgudai, Suoerguo, and Subahai to join forces to protect themselves;

In fact, at this time, Shulhazy and Murhaqi really had no intention of attacking Urgudai and the others, you know, their relationship with Dolgon and the others was only cooperation at best, and the role of blood ties could not replace the actual distribution of benefits.

Helplessly, Shulhazi and Murhaqi were unable to explain the relationship of interests to Urgudai and others for a while; it was not that they were unwilling to explain, but that they knew that even if they tried their best to explain, Urgudai and others would not be able to believe it.

The 240,000 troops of the New Eight Banners were stationed on three sides outside the capital, while the garrisons in the city of Longxiang were stationed by the various banners.

A commander commanded 300 cavalrymen of the banner under the command of a Niulu, and a staff commander commanded five Niulu, that is, 1,500 cavalrymen of the banner; each banner of the new eight banners produced 1,500 cavalry, and the total number of garrisons in the city of Longxiang reached 12,000.

The county town of Langxiang, which had been plundered several times by the Eight Banners occupation forces, was no longer the county town that was full of flowers at the beginning, but had become a lifeless county town, and in such a city with a total population of less than 100,000, there were 12,000 Eight Banners cavalry stationed!

An excessively dense number of garrisons will inevitably lead to more or less contradictions between garrisons belonging to different banners; in particular, the red flag and the two white flags, which consider themselves to be the masters, and the positive yellow flag and the two blue flags, which have just arrived, have repeatedly broken out into conflict.

If it weren't for Dolgon, Urgudai, and other banner lords, Baylor, who gave their garrison commanders a death order prohibiting internal fighting, perhaps the conflict between their two armies would have turned into a fight, and even so, the contradictions between the two armies would have accumulated more and more.

As a result of the accumulation of contradictions, the officers and men of the yellow flag and the two blue flags will rush directly to block the road as long as they see the soldiers with the red flag and the two white flags on the patrol road; the officers and men with the red flag and the two white flags, not to be outdone, will naturally 'repay' each other in the same way.

The empty county town of Langxiang has almost become a 'battlefield' for the soldiers of the Six Banners to block each other's roads, and various forms of road blocking battles are staged everywhere in the city every day; as for the soldiers with yellow flags and red flags who are persuaded at the two ends in the middle, they have become the existence of people inside and outside.
