Chapter 334 (Third Update, Asking for Subscription)
"The minions will definitely repay the emperor with broken bones!"
The dozens of generals kneeling on the ground all kowtowed in gratitude, although they wore the armor of the Eight Banners and even spoke Jurchen words, but in fact, they were all Koreans.
Unlike the wariness of the Han Chinese, the Manchu use of foreign races such as Koreans and Mongols was extremely broad. As early as 20 years ago, there were more than 3,000 Korean battalions in the Eight Banners Army, and over the years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had taken no less than hundreds of thousands of Korean people from Korea, and in fact, there were no less than 10,000 Goryeo soldiers in the Manchu Eight Banners.
At this time, the reason why these Korean generals knelt down to thank them was because the emperor was extraordinarily gracious, not only allowing them to enter the flag, but also building another Eight Banners of Goryeo. In other words, from now on, they are no longer slaves attached to their banners, and the dignified Goryeo Eight Banners, although they are not Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, are the same as the Eight Banners of the Han Army, they are all the slaves of the master, not the slaves of the master's slaves.
Of course, just relying on less than 6,000 Goryeo Eight Banner soldiers will definitely not be able to support the identity of the Goryeo Eight Banners, so the first thing is to recruit troops, and there is no need to recruit them - Seoul has a ready-made source of soldiers, a full army of 50,000.
The North Korean soldiers are all military households, and the military households of the Ming Dynasty have actually collapsed, the military households of North Korea still exist, and even the life is not bad, this is not to say that North Korea attaches importance to armaments, in fact, because the Joseon Dynasty used various methods such as slavery and maid system, confinement of sins, and from the mother law to restrict class mobility, to avoid other people from rising to become "two classes", of course, military households also benefited from this, and life was still good.
However, these wealthy military families are not willing to serve in the military, so they spend money to hire some "untouchables" to serve in the military in their place. Although this practice violates the law, because the performance of the "Dai Lijun" on the battlefield is far more reliable than that of military households. Therefore, the generals naturally turned a blind eye to the "Dai Lijun" and were even happy to see it come to fruition.
Most of the Korean soldiers in Seoul were this kind of "Dai Lijun", because they were "untouchables", so they lived worse than ordinary people.
First of all, the military household has no military salary, fortunately there are rations, but the rations are often deducted by the generals in the army, and they have already touched a good person when they are half full, and the military rations are at most two or three percent.
Secondly, they often did private work for the two classes of nobles and generals for free, building houses and reclaiming land for them. Even their employers, the military households, have reneceived their promises for a variety of reasons, but the untouchables have no choice.
Who made them pariahs!
It's better to say that they are soldiers than to say that they are beggars!
In fact, Han Ni is very clear about this - his Korean name is Han Yi, he was born in two classes of concubines, and he surrendered to the Eight Banners with Jiang Gonglie during the Battle of Salhu, and they were also the earliest Goryeo soldiers in the Eight Banners, of course, in order to survive, they promised Huang Taiji to execute the Ming soldiers in the barracks, and for more than ten years, they have been deeply trusted by the Manchus, and even his son Jie Yin has been the commander of the army.
At this time, Han Yi, who had just been named Gushan Ezhen of the Yellow Banner Goryeo Banner Army, rode into the Korean barracks wearing a military uniform, followed by more than 100 guards, and followed by hundreds of grain trucks by Korean people.
The North Korean soldiers who were lazily basking in the sun all had their eyes shining when they looked at the grain truck, and they just wanted to rush over and bow down and call "Lord", and then beg for a few buckets of rice to eat.
Han Ni, who was in the school yard and riding on a horse, glanced at those Korean soldiers, and now the generals of the two classes in the army have been ordered to go home, and even these North Korean soldiers have been confiscated and confined in the camp.
"Listen up!"
Hanni shouted, pointing to the grain cart behind him.
"The 10,000 stone grain in this cart is all your military salary!"
Military salary!
They also have military pay?
The North Korean soldiers instantly regained their spirits and rushed forward in a chaotic manner, just like the victims waiting for soup kitchen. In this regard, Hanni was not angry, but shouted loudly.
"The emperor of the Qing Dynasty has an order to recruit 30,000 soldiers in the Korean army, as long as they enter the camp, they can get one tael of military salaries and three buckets of food per month! Listen, there are only 30,000 people, and there is no such shop in this village! ”
The soldiers who crowded under the order platform were all stunned when they heard Hanni's shout.
Be a soldier for Chief Hu!
After a while, they didn't seem to react.
"Listen, as long as there are 10,000 people, if you make military merits, you can enter the Eight Banners of Goryeo, and you will no longer be untouchables!"
As soon as Han Ni shouted this, the North Korean soldiers, who seemed to be a little hesitant, crowded to the front one after another, asking how to lead the troops.
"Distribute the salary, record the book!"
Hanney laughed.
"Come and record! After recording the book, you are my soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom! Even the county guard can't do anything to you......"
For a while, there was a crowd in front of the station, and these soldiers who had been recruited on behalf of others were all frantically squeezing forward, for fear that the quota would be occupied if they fell behind, and they would lose their share.
For them, it seems that it doesn't matter at all to Chief Hu, the monarch, they only have one or two military salaries, three buckets of rice and grain in their eyes, and of course, there is also the Eight Banners, although they don't know what the Eight Banners are, but they have also witnessed how Hu Bing shows off his might, and even the adults of the two classes who are high up can only bow their heads and smile when they see them, and it is not a bad thing to be Hu Bing.
However, not everyone went to the register, and when everyone flocked to the list, when they entered the Goryeo camp, there were still more than 1,000 people on the edge of the school field, and not only did they not go, but they also glared angrily at the other Korean soldiers.
Seeing this, Hanni rode over and stared at these people, the military uniforms on their bodies were still neat, although they were washed and faded, but there were no patches, and they knew at once that they must be real military households. There are still some military households who cherish the country.
"Why don't you go to the register?"
In the face of Han Ni's questioning, those people all bowed their heads one after another, not daring to meet his gaze, and only Li Shilong replied to meet his gaze in the crowd.
"I am a Korean soldier, how can I turn my back on the monarch and serve others!"
Hanni was not annoyed, but spoke out loud.
"How can others say that my Qing Dynasty is the suzerain of Korea, and the monarch of Korea is my minister of the Qing Dynasty, and you are naturally my courtiers of the Qing Dynasty......."
"Shameless!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Shilong shouted.
"Since the beginning of my fall, I have only heard that there is a great tomorrow's ear, how can I come to Chief Hu as the lord of my Korea......"
Hanni's face changed suddenly, and he snorted coldly.
"Take ......"
The guards behind him immediately pounced like a vicious tiger, and Li Shilong didn't resist, just let them take it. A moment later, he was tied to the pole by the five flowers.
The North Korean soldiers in the audience stood in a mess, and they all looked at Li Shilong in amazement.
What's going on?
Seeing that the soldiers were all gathered, Hanni, who intended to kill the military law, said loudly.
"Everyone, listen well, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty is magnanimous, rewarding you with military salaries and military rations, such a great favor, this disciple not only does not know how to repay the effect, but instead speaks wildly, is it tolerable or unbearable! Come on! Execute! ”
As soon as Han Ni's words fell, Li Shilong, who was tied up by five flowers, shouted loudly.
"Koreans, today Chief Hu uses us as soldiers, that is, he wants to attack the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, and we Koreans have served the Son of Heaven for generations, and what kind of grace does the Son of Heaven treat North Korea? Koreans, how can they forget the extreme kindness of Emperor Shenzong in the year of Renchen, and now they are bending their waists for three buckets of rice to help thieves capture the Chinese? ”
Li Shilong's shout made many of those soldiers look at each other for a while, and a few of them even turned red-faced, seeing this, Han Ni couldn't help but regret it, and immediately shouted.
"Shut his mouth! Chopped! ”
The executioner's hand fell, and his head fell directly to the ground, and Han Ni seemed to be a little strange when he saw everyone. And he shouted to those who were not registered,
"You're all here to register!"
Those people couldn't help but hesitate a little when they heard it, not when they hesitated. Hanney shouted.
"Those who hesitate will surely be disobedient and killed"
In the midst of the horror in the eyes of the people, the executioners once again raised their butcher knives and cut off more than a dozen heads in succession.
The audience was silent, silent, and everyone was so frightened that their legs were weak.
Only then did Hanni ask loudly.
"You are willing to serve the emperor of the Qing Dynasty."
There are bloody heads on the side, where would anyone dare to say that they don't want to. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed their allegiance.
It's not difficult to get people to submit, you just need to kill a few people. Then give them a little favor. At that time, these people will naturally swear allegiance to the death.
In fact, it was the same when they surrendered, and at that time they even killed the Ming army as a vote.
Actually, it doesn't matter about loyalty, it just depends on what the price of betrayal is.
One by one, do they really regard the Ming Dynasty as the Celestial Empire? But in fact, they are all ordinary people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They can give up everything in order to stay alive.
And after subduing these people in one fell swoop, Han Ni looked a little proud, with these soldiers and horses, the Eight Banners of Goryeo will definitely become an existence that is not inferior to the Eight Banners of the Han Army, if they don't seize the opportunity, a few of them may even become the princes of the Great Qing Kingdom.
At that time, who of these Koreans would dare to say that they are just a group of rebels, and I am afraid that they will all rush to pat themselves one by one, even if they are two classes of nobles.
Well, there won't be two shifts then!
Thinking so in his heart, Han Ni's heart is grateful to the emperor, if it weren't for the emperor, he, as a two-class concubine, would have been able to become a thousand households one day at most, but now it is impossible for him to become a prince.
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to lead his troops to the Datong River now and kill all those Ming troops to repay the emperor's Longen.
