"Chapter Seven: Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragon"

People are the product of thought, and what they think in their hearts will become what kind of people they become.

"Two Yellow Flags?" Dolgon, who pretended to be calm, was betrayed by his slightly trembling hands, and knowing that this was already the best condition, he resisted his urge to agree immediately, and asked, "What about the other six flags?"

"Dolgon, the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragon are not the Eight Banners of the Jurchens, do you understand what I mean?" Bai Feng, who was not about to answer Dolgon, said in a rather stern tone: "You just need to know, obey me, and you can get two yellow flags; ”

"This ......" After some fierce struggle, Dolgon, who hesitated repeatedly, finally made up his mind: "I can do my best to help you form the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragon, but apart from the Yellow Banner with Azig as the banner master, I hope to keep Duoduo by your side for you to drive." ”

In response to Dolgon's not too excessive request, Bai Feng replied: "After the formation of the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragon is completed, I will select another four thousand elite cavalry to form the Eight Banners guard in my personal guards, and Duoduo can temporarily serve as the commander of the two Yellow Banners. ”

Faced with Bai Feng's answer, Dolgon immediately thanked him respectfully: "Thank you, Your Excellency General Bai Feng!"

"Dolgon, you have to keep one thing in mind. Before Dorgon was about to leave the military tent, Bai Feng suddenly spoke: "The Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragon Empire are not the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, but my Eight Banners; ”

Dolgon, who had stopped, was silent for a long time, and then said in a bitter voice: "Enlighten the master, the slave Dolgon understands. ”

"It's good to understand. I still appreciate Dolgon Baifeng, who knows the current affairs, after all, his value is far from comparable to that of Kerder and others, and even his youth is a capital that is difficult for others to achieve: "Go back and educate your brothers well, so that they can also understand this truth." ”

"No!" Dolgon, who entered the role very quickly, respectfully asked: "If the master is fine, the slave Dolgon retreats." ”

"Well, go ahead. After waving his hand to signal that Dorgon could leave, looking at the back of Dorgon leaving, Bai Feng's brows furrowed tightly again, because Dolgon's reaction just now reminded him of the characters in two historical allusions.

In the Spring and Autumn Period of Chinese history, King Lu of Wu and King Goujian of Yue competed, and the reckless King Lu was finally defeated and died in a hurry;

At that time, the state of Wu had the arrogant and domineering Yue King Goujian repeatedly attacking, and Wu Zixu, the powerful minister inside, controlled the government; the ambitious Wu Wangfu had to show off his image of being good at wine and lust, and at the same time quietly organized a new army in the name of hunting.

After the completion of the new army, the ambitious Wu Wangfu first uprooted the power of the powerful minister Wu Zixu in the Wu court with the power of thunder, and then took revenge on Yue with tens of thousands of male soldiers, and successfully defeated the strong army of Yue State, and even forced the Yue King Gou Jian to try the dung and test the disease!

From Wu Wangfu to Yue Wang Goujian, the consequences of cutting the grass without eradicating the roots, and the hidden danger of letting the tiger return to the mountain, how could Bai Feng, who is familiar with these allusions, not understand?

It's just that Dolgon is not Shulhaqi and Murhaqi after all, he has the status of a member of the Aixin Jueluo family, but he has no corresponding qualifications and experience; Bai Feng believes that as long as his strength is strong enough, it is not impossible to leave some restless hidden dangers around him.

No matter how much potential the talented Dolgon has, he also needs time to grow, and as time goes by, Bai Feng will only get stronger and stronger with the help of the system, even if Dolgon is lying on his back at this time, he will not have a chance to make a comeback in the future.

After using the two yellow flags as a condition to obtain the surrender of the three Dolgon brothers, Bai Feng used the two white flags as a condition to obtain the surrender of Solgo and Subahai;

In the new Eight Banners, Urgudai, whose seniority is second only to Shuerhaqi and Murhaqi, was appointed by Bai Feng as the commander of the Eight Banners under the pro-guard guard;

This in itself is also one of the trading conditions between Bai Feng and Dolgon, Solgo and others, with their full support, the two generals appointed by Bai Feng can sit firmly in the position of banner master; otherwise, the carefully selected elite of the Eight Banners will not be so obedient.

If it weren't for the elite of the Eight Banners who were all unruly and arrogant generals, why would Bai Feng waste time and energy to win over Picker and other generals, and also offer favorable conditions to trade with Dolgon and others, he would directly break up the Eight Banners and integrate them into the personal guards, and he could get tens of thousands of cavalry out of thin air!

It is a pity that every army with strong combat effectiveness will inevitably have its own unique character; the reason why the brave and warlike Eight Banner Cavalry can defeat and retreat the Tianlong army on the battlefield is precisely because of their rebelliousness and belligerence.

In fact, this is also the reason why Bai Feng went to great lengths to form the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragon, he hoped that he would have a cavalry force under his command that could be of great use, instead of relying on the Macedonian phalanx to deal with the enemy cavalry, and the encounter of the Spartan army had proved the limitations of the phalanx.

On the seventh day after Bai Feng led the army back to Langxiang County, the formation of the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragon officially kicked off, and 52,000 sets of brand-new Eight Banners cotton armor were stacked in a new military camp outside the city.

From the two yellow flags of Dorgon and Azig, to the two white flags of Solgo and Subahai, to the two blue flags of Dudu and Nikan, and then the two red flags of Alexander and Antiko, the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragons were formed in turn, and each banner soldier wore the brand new cotton armor that was assigned to him.

In the end, the 4,000 elite cavalry left behind were different from the Eight Banners cotton armor that had been distributed before, and the same cotton armor with the same shape had been changed, but the helmets of these soldiers had an extra black feather waving in the wind.

These Eight Banner Cavalry, which belonged to the Pro-Soldier Guard, were led by Urgudai, the owner of the Red Banner inlaid with the Red Banner in the original New Eight Banners, and had eight Niu Lu representing each banner, each of which was a large Niu Lu with 500 cavalry, and the direct commander level was a staff leader rather than an assistant leader.

The official name is the Four Thousand Elite Cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Guards, and between the Supreme Commander and the Eight Chiefs, there are four Deputy Commanders who connect the upper and lower levels;

Except for the deputy capital of the two yellow flags, which is Dorgon's younger brother Duoduo, the other three deputy commanders also have amazing backgrounds; among them, the deputy capital of the two blue flags is the son of Soergo, the deputy capital of the two white flags is the son of Subahai, and the deputy capital of the two yellow flags is the third brother of Dudu.

Of course, the eight staff leaders who really actually controlled the Eight Bull Records of the Eight Banners of the Guards were all carefully selected by Bai Feng, and their loyalty was not inferior to that of the civilian cavalry in the original New Eight Banners of Kerde and others;
