The current situation is very peculiar, since Lin Feng took revenge in Jingshida, all the banner people all over the world have sworn not to share the sky with Lin Feng, especially the three princes in addition to the national feud also have a grudge against the family, and they hate it to the core, but the funny thing is that until now, Lin Feng has not found that anyone has sent a soldier to him.

When the Qing Dynasty's royal system passed to the Kangxi Dynasty, the composition of the Qing army's army has undergone tremendous changes, the original founding of the country, the Qing Dynasty's trump card main force is naturally from Liaodong into the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, but after dominating the world, this army is corrupted and degenerate at an astonishing speed, although it is not to the point where it can not fight, but compared with the previous invincible male division, it is indeed ashamed, looking at the entire Eight Banners, now can fight, or can be regarded as a strong force, that is, those cavalry drawn from outside the Shanhaiguan, There were also servant armies sponsored by various Mongolian tribes, but the number of these troops was relatively small, and they could only account for a small proportion of the Qing army, which was known as the million-dollar king's army.

Therefore, during this period, the army of the Qing Dynasty was still dominated by the green battalion of the Han army. Objectively speaking, the emperors of the Aixin Jueluo family have devoted themselves to the study of traitors since the beginning of Huang Taiji, and they have special experience in how to use the scum among the Han people, and it can be said that they have quite outstanding works in each era. These representative figures include Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and the three puppet vassal kings who are now in the limelight.

The first to create a precedent for the puppet army is Huang Taiji, here can not but say that this minority monarch does have an extraordinary talent, that is, he first plundered the Han youth and surrendered Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers into the Han army flag, vassals in the eight banners to become the main combat force, after Dolgon took over his banner, this national united front was inherited and continued, and has been further carried forward, the number of the puppet army has also snowballed from the beginning of tens of thousands to the current hundreds of thousands, After years of brainwashing and education, this group of puppet soldiers gradually began to become the pillars supporting the rule of the Qing Dynasty. And the enemies that Lin Feng is facing now are mainly these puppet armies of the same clan, so he has to make great efforts to understand these enemies.

Originally, Lin Feng came from the later generations of great unification, and he didn't care much about this ideological category at first, in the end, in the era when he was born, there was no national contradiction between the Manchus and Hans, according to his words, these traitors were still meritorious people, although they betrayed their own race in behavior to help foreign races oppress and slaughter their own people, but in terms of "historical, overall perspective" is not unforgivable, and may also be very likely to have considerable historical achievements, on the contrary, from this starting point, The stubborn resistance to the scum of the Chinese nation, such as Shi Kefa, Zheng Chenggong, and Li Dingguo, who did not know the affairs of the times, was even more guilty, and these people, in order to protect the little interests of the Han people, actually obstructed the reunification of the big family of the motherland, which is simply unforgivable. Isn't there a scientific conclusion? History is inherently moving forward in a regular way, so how can it resist the tide of history? Isn't it just that tens of millions of Han people were slaughtered and one-third of the Ding was reduced, what's the big deal, the Japanese devils in later generations have more credit than them.

But after falling into this era, Lin Feng didn't have the courage to tell the people around him his thoughts, although the Qing Dynasty committed such a heinous crime in broad daylight, but the top and bottom have always been secretive about it, and he can't say it in Geng Jingzhong's Fujian, so he can't say it now. Originally, since he had fallen into the criminal quagmire of obstructing the unification of the Qing Dynasty and splitting the country against the historical trend, it would be very ridiculous to talk about any national understanding now, according to the current situation, Lin Feng and his subordinates and the Qing Dynasty had no room for compromise, in short, the end could only be that one side was destroyed by the other.

During this period of time, the intelligence work of the Han army has developed greatly, Chen Menglei has begun to gradually adapt to the role of the secret police, this progress is mainly due to the help of the Heaven and Earth Society, the Heaven and Earth Society Aoki Hall active in the Zhili area is indeed a few talents, under their guidance Chen Menglei from his propaganda team to draw a large number of potential team members for spy training, these were originally the folk artists who went to the countryside to visit the household are very satisfied with this job, because in this era their identity is "drama", in terms of social status and ** Beggars are on an equal footing, and now it is worth fighting hard to have the opportunity to become a state servant, and under this vigorous momentum, the intelligence network of the Han army soon extended to various provinces.

With the support of a large amount of intelligence, in view of the current situation, Lin Feng and his staff team have a considerable understanding, first of all, it is impossible for the army of the three princes in the south to return to the north in the short term - this is a very simple military common sense, according to the current battlefield situation, Wu Sangui and several other anti-kings and the Qing army are in the stage of strategic stalemate, this short period of battlefield calm is actually more dangerous than a large-scale battle, the original battlefield advantage of the Qing army has been offset by this political change in Beijing at this time, At present, there is a serious problem in the morale of the army, the green camp puppet army is generally frightened, suspicious, and the contradiction with the Eight Banners Army, which has always been high, has suddenly intensified, in such a situation, it is impossible for the Qing army to change the direction of the march on a large scale, it is conceivable that if the Qing army dares to return to the north, then Wu Sangui will definitely not let go of this opportunity to win the country, under the pursuit of the army, and the morale of the Qing army is low, I am afraid that the army will be finished before crossing the Yellow River.

Moreover, most of the world's wealth comes from the south of the Yangtze River, and if it is not a last resort, the Qing army will definitely not give up the southern provinces that can support the war.

The northern provinces are now desperately expanding their armaments and warfare, because of the institutional relationship of great unification, the Qing court absolutely does not allow these local governors to have a strong army that can threaten the central government, so the food and ammunition hoarded in these provinces are extremely scarce, and at the same time support the war between the three feudatories for many years, and now the military strength of the north has long been exhausted, and most of the troops who can operate in the local area are flood defense soldiers and a small number of green battalion troops left behind, so it can be said that before the new army is successfully organized and trained, they have no offensive ability. At present, the only one that can launch a surprise blow to the Han army is the Qing army in the area of Mukden-Heilongjiang-Ningguta outside the Shanhai Pass, and the most threatening of them is the more than 3,000 cavalry under the command of the Heilongjiang general, but there is no need to worry for the time being, it is not easy for them to launch a campaign, not to mention the long way away, and they are also seriously short of heavy materials to support the war. As for the defense force of more than 1,000 people in Shanhaiguan, Lin Feng didn't pay much attention to it.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity Lin Feng will naturally not let go in vain, during this period of time the Han army carried out the second large-scale conscription in the Gyeonggi area, this time the conscription object has expanded a lot, in addition to the urban poor in Beijing, the peasants in the nearby counties are also conscripted, at this time the good treatment of the Han army's military dependents has spread throughout Gyeonggi, and Chen Menglei's propaganda work has also been done quite well, so Lin Feng did not take much effort to successfully expand the army to more than 40,000 people, Moreover, in terms of the quality of the soldiers, it is quite satisfactory, except that most of them are illiterate, and there is nothing to fault in other aspects.

Regarding how to build the army, Lin Feng was indeed a little worried this time, according to his thoughts, this army should be regarded as his hometown for a long time, but how can this army be built into an iron army that is determined to follow him, and cannot be defeated or dragged down?

In the imagination, this question does not seem to be very difficult, and countless revolutionary predecessors in Lin Feng's era have already set a glorious example, and after being sorted out by a number of academics, a complete chain has been formed.

First of all, the members of the army must be the main body of the toiling masses, and then the leaders will carry out in-depth ideological education for these soldiers in simple terms, and at the same time carry out vigorous land reform, so that all members of the army can enjoy certain material achievements, and finally there will be all kinds of guidance and inspiration, such as complaining about the landlord's old wealth, remembering the bittersweet and so on, and so on.

If this is done, then the cohesion of the army will basically reach a height that has never been seen before. As far as Lin Feng knows, there were indeed several armies that were successfully shaped like this, in addition to the extremely tough combat effectiveness, the military discipline was also ridiculously good, judging from countless examples in later generations, the soldiers' understanding of discipline has reached the level of human instinct, many people would rather die than encroach on the common people, if you compare it with the army model, the Yuejia army can almost be regarded as bandits compared to them.

However, Lin Feng found that he didn't seem to have this ability, first of all, he couldn't do ideological education, he didn't have the ability to create an advanced ideological system, if he blindly borrowed from communism in the seventeenth century, I was afraid that others would treat him as a madman, so there was no way to mobilize the broad masses of the people, and secondly, redistribution was unrealistic, not to mention his own internal opposition, just by pushing the landlords to the side of the Qing army, he would never be able to do it, Lin Feng thought about it, and finally decided to put the land on the standard. In the end, the Qing army was no better than the Japanese devils and the Kuomintang reactionaries, and its combat effectiveness was not so strong.

Under Lin Feng's order, all kinds of Zhuangzi in the Gyeonggi area that originally belonged to the royal family and the nobles of the Eight Banners were unconditionally confiscated, and after some measurement and calculation, these lands were cut into several small parts according to the output, and at this time, the original land deeds in the hands of the veterans and officers who followed Lin Feng finally became real land, and Lin Feng fulfilled his original promise and made them all landlords.

In the process of distributing benefits, the soldiers who newly joined the Han army also got some sweetness, and the families of the Han army and military families once again received considerable government subsidies free of charge, and under Lin Feng's strong request, the military government under the leadership of Li Guangdi behaved very humanely, in addition to food and silver, all kinds of materials blockaded by the Qing army, such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, also entered the kitchens of military families, in addition, various service institutions for soldiers, including military brothels, were also established, and various shops including pharmacies were also established in the areas controlled by the Han armyLang Zhong, who saw a doctor, also received an order from the government that soldiers and their families must buy things at half price to see a doctor, and if any profiteer dares to disobey the order, the whole family will be beheaded.

To be honest, Lin Feng's promise to these soldiers was also quite tempting, in front of all the officers and soldiers, he announced that after laying new territory in the future, the land occupied by the Eight Banners would be unconditionally distributed to the soldiers, and whoever performed well and made more military achievements would get more land, and the reward for military merit in the future would be a real title deed in addition to silver - this promise was very credible in front of the veteran's precedent.

The vast majority of these soldiers are poor, and in this era, these people's desire for land has reached an unparalleled level, so when the first batch of land distribution plans is completed, many soldiers are also ready to follow with an iron heart, people in troubled times are not as good as dogs, anyway, it doesn't matter if they are cheap, and now there is an opportunity to change their fate without seizing it.

The propaganda task force has also begun to be formally incorporated into the army, and Lin Feng has put up a nationalist sign in his ideological work. During this time, due to the strict implementation of the Han army's hair retention order, everyone in the control area cut their braids, and the propaganda team worked hard to make all the soldiers understand such a truth, if the future defeat will be defeated, the Qing army will slaughter all the people who cut their braids, and at the same time cited the living example of the Jiangnan rebels in the past, under the guidance of this thought, the soldiers gradually realized their own situation, and many people who originally held the attitude of being soldiers and eating food gradually became the same enemy after the initial fear, Since you have already boarded the thief ship, you can simply go all the way to the black, not to mention that the conditions offered by the Han army are really attractive, and the usual military salary is more than twice that of the Qing army's green battalion, and a family can live very well in a month, the soldiers made a simple calculation, and felt that even if they went to work hard, it was not a loss.

Under a series of administrative measures to support the army and love the army, the status of the soldiers was suddenly raised to an unprecedented height, the mood of the soldiers also became high, and the combat effectiveness improved rapidly; after a period of intensive training, the 10,000 recruits recruited in Beijing have basically initially formed their combat effectiveness, and some time ago they performed very well in the attack on the county towns near Beijing, at least the marching army and artillery shooting are still like an army. Many of the more clever fellows were promoted to officers because of their quick grasp of muskets and artillery, and they divided the land of the Manchurians with the veterans.

In order to appear in front of the common people with a new image, Lin Feng personally designed a new style of military uniform, in the end, the Han army has completely broken with the Qing court, and it is very unsuitable to wear that kind of long and swinging traditional military uniform. In this regard, Lin Feng seems quite stubborn, when the most famous tailor in the capital made the suit full of the flavor of the tunic outfit, most of the generals said that it was difficult to accept, but the arms could not twist the thighs, the authority of the leader must be respected, the usually amiable Lin Feng this time is like a demon king, in addition to the crazy roar of slapping the table at the meeting, he also adopted a strategy of coercion and temptation, under strong pressure, ** Sheng and Liu Laosi were the first to compromise, and put on that weird-looking military uniform, It didn't take long for the whole army to change into this new uniform.

Out of the need for the reorganization of new recruits, Lin Feng also proposed a new military establishment in a timely manner, and after understanding Lin Feng's temper, the generals showed great cooperation this time, and the entire reorganization plan went very smoothly. During the reorganization, Lin Feng made great efforts to select the soldiers, and those guys with underworld backgrounds who enlisted in the capital were kicked out of the army in this large-scale reorganization, and some of them were arranged to do security work in Li Guangdi's military government, and the other part of the people with some ability directly entered the secret police team under the leadership of Chen Menglei, of course, this arrangement was carried out in the name of rewards and promotions, so these people were also quite satisfied with this, because compared to the soldiers, these positions were both easy and oily, Everyone is grateful to Lin Feng for this.

In the new establishment, Lin Feng copied the modern system in the squad, platoon, and company-level units, but the basic combat units were fixed at the battalion level. According to the model of the 44 system, a battalion has about 500 people in four companies, four battalions as one brigade, and four brigades as one army; in this way, the whole army has been reorganized into four corps, two cavalry brigades, and one artillery brigade, with a total strength of about 40,000 people, of which about 8,000 are musketeers, more than 2,000 are in the first artillery brigade, and more than 4,000 in two cavalry brigades.

After Lin Feng proclaimed himself the generalissimo of the Han Army, he also rewarded his officers, Zhou Peigong, Zhao Guangyuan, Wang Dahai, Liu Laosi and **Sheng were appointed as army commanders, of which Zhao Guangyuan commanded the cavalry force of about 4,000 people as a commander, and Zhou Peigong's army was all musketeers, and Shi Lang, the commander of the artillery brigade, was Lin Feng's direct subordinate Chinese army.

The consequence of the rapid expansion of the troops is the plummeting combat effectiveness, and now the Han army can barely pull out the troops to fight a battle is probably only Zhao Guangyuan's cavalry and a small number of musket troops of the Chinese army, and the other troops have basically reverted to a rabble after the major reorganization, fortunately, there is still a buffer time for the troops to step up training. Lin Feng is now very confident in the training work of the troops, because since the last training of the 10,000 recruits who enlisted in the capital, under the painstaking teaching of Captain Rick, a large number of grassroots officers with rich training experience have emerged in the Han army. Among this part of the officers are the original Liaodong veterans and Fujian porters who enlisted in Linji County, and some Beijing officers who were promoted because of their excellent training, after being allocated land, these people are extremely enthusiastic about their work, and many Liaodong and Fujian people have organized to send a team to pick up their families, as the old family of Lin Feng's hometown, they have long been ready to follow Lin Feng with an iron heart.

Although Lin Feng came from later generations and also went to university, he can basically be regarded as illiterate in terms of military science. The army in the seventeenth century was already quite complicated, and it took Lin Feng a lot of effort to find out the real situation of the contemporary army since he fell into this era.

In fact, most of the officers, including Zhou Peigong and Shi Lang, are generally not very optimistic about this new army, and even Captain Rick is not very confident, and the reason for this is the quality of the weapons. The firearms seized in the Beijing arsenal were originally prepared by Kangxi for the establishment of the Jingshi Zheng Yellow Banner Firearms Battalion, to be honest, the emperor's vision was not very good, and most of these firearms were arquebuses, which were a few steps behind the European weapons of the same era.

The arquebus also has a very long history in China, when the Japanese invaded the sea frontier, it was equipped on a large scale for the Ming Dynasty army, Qi Jiguang's "Minutes of Military Training" mentioned this kind of weapon, this anti-Japanese general did not have a high evaluation of it, and judged it to be "chicken ribs", the general meaning is that it has great development potential but the battlefield value is not large, and sometimes it is not as good as a bow and arrow in terms of the results. This weapon has been developed to the present day, and has been carefully improved by generations of skilled craftsmen, although it is now much more powerful in terms of firing speed and range than before, but on the whole it seems to be lacking, and so far, most experienced officers in the army believe that its greatest advantage is that it is easy to train archers - compared to the training of archers for several years, the training cycle of musketeers is much shorter.

Lin Feng also thought about solving this problem at the beginning, his idea was to purchase flintlock pistols from Western countries, but when discussing with Rick, he was poured cold water, it turned out that it was much more difficult to buy and sell arms in this era than imagined, flintlock pistols are still a very advanced weapon so far, European countries control it quite strictly, and now most of the European businessmen operating in East Asia and Southeast Asia do not have this supply capacity, and several large companies with supply capacity have strong political colors, It's not something that just anyone can buy if they want to. It is absolutely impossible to rely on the smuggling of those navigators, if you only get a hundred and eighty escort teams, I am afraid there is still a way to think, but Lin Feng has thousands of troops on his side to change their clothes, then no one can do anything.

In such a helpless situation, Lin Feng had to increase the burden of the musket troops, in addition to the routine queue and shooting training, each musketeer was issued a slender waist knife, white-knuckle combat and hand-to-hand combat training has also become a daily homework, before the large-scale change of clothing, this unit may not be fully qualified for the role of "musketeer". This is indeed very painful, obviously has advanced military concepts, but because the hardware can not keep up with the need to stand still, fortunately, the enemies of the Han army, those Eight Banners and the Green Battalion do not pay attention to firearms troops, so this musket army is not without any advantages, although it may be difficult to encounter cavalry, but it will definitely take advantage of some advantages when confronting the infantry.

As the days passed, when the Han army was buried in the large-scale military training movement, the northern provinces of the Qing court were not idle, due to the loss of the unified constraints of the central power, the three princes in the south went their own way to point fingers at this side, the entire administrative system north of the Yellow River appeared very chaotic, when the official supervision system also fell into confusion, the corruption and malfeasance of the local officials was greatly increased, but the provinces still maintained the same military at this time, and all of them were frantically expanding the army in order to protect themselves. The fundraising task of apportioning the grain and distributing the salary has been assigned layer by layer, and when it falls on the people, it has become a very terrifying astronomical number.

Judging from the history of the Dolgon Shunzhi dynasties, the Qing Dynasty did not have any development plan after the establishment of the country, on the contrary, the Qing court has been implementing a destructive economic plundering policy before the Kangxi pro-government, and the representative masterpiece of this is the Eight Banners Enclosure Movement and the activities of forcing the peasants to become clothed slaves. But because the relationship is too short for a short period of time to achieve little effect, in the end it is the eight nobles of the Eight Banners who are the fundamental rulers of the imperial court, even if Kangxi is no matter how eloquent and strategic, it is impossible to bombard his own people, but before he can revitalize the economy, the rebellion of the three feudatories rang out, all the people's livelihood plans have to slow down, and the people in the north must bear the military expenses for suppressing the rebellion. In large areas of Anhui and other provinces, entire villages were abandoned and all the people abandoned their homes and fled to the famine, but at this time, the local governors of the Qing court frantically apportioned new military expenses, which made the people in dire straits even worse.

There is no suspense. Under the secret planning of Yang Qilong's Shilang Society, a large-scale peasant uprising first broke out in the Shangqiu area and Xinxiang area of Henan Province, because there was Shilang Hui carefully planned behind the scenes, and the secrecy and organization work was done very well, so the uprising was greatly beyond the imagination of local officials in terms of scale and scope, and the Shangqiu area gathered more than 400,000 hungry people overnight, and after a day and night, it attacked the inner and outer parts of Shangqiu City, captured the capital city, and at the same time, Xinxiang also gathered more than 300,000 righteous troops and broke through several county seats.

As if a fuse had ignited the entire explosives bag, when the news of the great uprising spread north and south of the river, the hungry people in Shanxi, Zhili, Anhui, Shaanxi and other provinces responded one after another, and large-scale peasant uprisings broke out one after another.

All of a sudden, the mountains and rivers changed color.
