"Child, Ama, why are you in such a hurry to send that girl from Donggu to Zhu Cihong?"

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's the situation...... Queen Mother, do you think the peaceful life between us and Nanming will last long? If this matter is not done earlier, when the two sides fight, the marriage of Dongor will be yellow. And if you send it over next year, you can always push back the day of the war by a few more months, maybe it can be postponed to the year after next, right? ”

"Fight...... If you send Dong Gu away, won't she become a hostage? ”

"How did you become a hostage? Emperor Xiaozhu of Nanming is not such a disproportionate person, he welcomed Donggu over as an imperial concubine, where can he take his women as hostages and blackmail his father-in-law? If he wants to do this, he won't be a heroic man! ”

"Kid Amma, you still look up to the little emperor of the Zhu family?"

"That's ...... Although he has the title of a prince, the territory of the eight southeastern provinces (Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, Fujian) was won by himself! If it weren't for him, I would have ruled the world! ”

"So, isn't he my sworn enemy of the Qing Dynasty?"

"That's right! He is my mortal enemy of the Qing Dynasty! That's why I'm going to send Gege even more...... This is a delaying tactic, and it is also the life of Donggor, she can go happily, it is her fate! ”

Forbidden City, Cining Palace. Tonight was the day of great joy for Aunt Bumu Butai and Uncle Dolgon, but the two of them were not in a hurry to hold hands on the kang, but were chatting face to face, and talked about Donggo's marriage.

Togo is only ten years old this year, and there are still five years left until the age of Ji Lu (the standard age for marriage), but Dolgon looks like he can't wait to send Togo out, which makes Bumu Butai feel very strange.

And Dolgon's answer surprised Bumu Butai - Dolgon never thought that he could maintain the situation of "no war" between the Ming and Qing dynasties (small frictions continued, and there was an endless battle of Datong in Shanxi) through peace with his relatives for a long time, and he just wanted to postpone the outbreak of the war!

In order to postpone it for a few months, he sent away his only daughter, who is regarded as the pearl of his palm, which is too selfless, right? Are you that good at Dorgon?

Aunt Bumu Butai asked puzzledly: "It's only a few months, is it really that important?" ”

"It's okay to say it's important, it's okay to say that it's better to fight late than early, the key is how we can use the next year or so!" Dolgon was so energetic when he talked about the affairs of the state that he almost forgot about being the bridegroom's official.

"What do you mean by that?" Bumu Butai asked.

Dolgon said: "I think we have three major things to do next, one is to smooth Shanxi and Shaanxi...... Can't let us fight with Nanming in a decisive battle, and ask someone to keep poking with a knife in the back, right? ”

"It's not easy!" Bumu Butai said, "Not to mention how Datong is, even Wu Sangui is not a thing, he has received such a great favor from my Qing Dynasty, he doesn't want to repay, and he also pedals on two boats." Last time Sony, when he went to Tibet, he passed by, and Wu Sangui made a mistake when he photographed the people who greeted him, thinking that he was going to pick up the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, but he ended up wearing the mandarin duck jacket of the Ming Dynasty, which frightened Sony......"

Dolgon waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wu Sangui is a thief guarding the house, there is no need to worry. As long as Datong's Jiang Jiu is finished, he won't dare to make a mistake. The real trouble is still the rogue who is entrenched in Xi'an, Yan'an, and Yulin...... A while ago, they stopped a little, and recently Li Zicheng sent a Daxi King to Guanzhong, the soldiers are strong and strong, so not prestigious, I sent a few groups of envoys to negotiate peace, all of them were killed surnamed Zhang! ”

The news that Li Zicheng may be "pretending to be alive" has of course also spread to the Qing Dynasty. However, the official news of Dashun and Daming both said that Li Zicheng was alive, so what reason did the Great Qing Kingdom have to be Li Zicheng a dead man?

Moreover, after Zhang Xianzhong arrived in Xi'an, he did not lose the banner of the Dashun Dynasty, and still commanded the three armies in the name of "King of the West of Dashun" - because once he lost the banner of Dashun, he might be attacked by Yuan Zongdi, who was entrenched in Hanzhong, and Liu Fangliang, who was entrenched in Gongchang and Longan...... Therefore, before he lays down the Tongguan Pass and closes the Guanzhong Gate, he will not turn against the forces of the Great Shun Dynasty.

At the same time, Zhang Xianzhong had no intention of joining forces with the Qing Dynasty, and killed all the envoys sent by Dolgon to contact.

Bumubutai nodded, understanding Dorgon's plans on the Western Front, and then she asked, "What are the other two major events?" ”

Dolgon said: "The other two major events are the Nine Banners military reform and the organization and development of our hometown outside the Guanxi!" ”

"Nine Banners Military Reform? How? Bumu Butai first asked about the military reform - the knife handle is not a trivial matter! If Dolgon wants to take advantage of the opportunity of military reform to seize the military power of the Nine Banners, then the aunt will also turn her face.

Although Auntie's own son is the emperor, after all, it is not the time to be in power, so Auntie is also worried that Dolgon will lose restraint after centralizing power...... Then by the Emperor Ama Regent turned into the Qing Emperor!

Dolgon took a fancy to the aunt's vigilant expression and laughed: "The Nine Banners military reform is mainly two points, one is to run artillery, each banner must build a Hongyi small cannon Niulu, the original Hongyi cannon Niulu can not be abolished, and each Jiala must have a watchdog with a general cannon, a Franco machine gun and a pigeon foot gun."

The second is to build a city and defend it! Each Jiala should have a Jiala Fortress, called Jiabao, which should be built in the same way as the Nanming Fortress, as the fundamental place of Jiala, and guarded by the watchman Niulu. ”

The aunt breathed a sigh of relief, Dolgon did not mean to concentrate the military power, but strengthened the military strength of the banners.

"What about the hometown outside the Guanwai?" Aunt Bumu Butai asked again.

Dolgon sighed: "The hometown outside the gate is our retreat!" In the current situation, can you manage it without care? So I pondered that each Jiala would draw another cow to go back to my hometown outside the Guanwai...... and divided the land to build the city, and each to keep a stall. Although the hometown outside the gate is bitterly cold, the fertile land near the water is still good, and it can be cultivated and cultivated.

In addition, in recent years, the Rakshasa country has continued to invade the east, and it is getting closer and closer to the hometown of our Manchu people, and many tribes of the Balhu and Daur people have moved to the Heilongjiang and Jingliqi River basins...... We'll have to gather them together and put them into the Eight Banners. ”

Historically, in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, because there were too many gains in the Guan, they ignored the operation outside the Guan, and also ignored the fact that the Rakshasa Kingdom was approaching the Heilongjiang and Jingliqi River basins step by step. For the requests for help from the Balhu people and the Daur people, the Qing court did not take it too seriously.

But now the situation is different, the situation in the gate is not very good, maybe there is a day to quit, the hometown outside the gate is not in good condition, where can the children of Jiuqi go?

"Child, Amma, is it the Nine Banners or the Eight Banners who went to the hometown outside the Guanwai?" Bumu Butai still didn't understand a little. For Dorgon said eight flags one moment, and nine flags another.

"Naturally, it's Nine Flags!" Dolgon smiled, "There are a lot of people in the Green Flag, there are 100,000 households!" Of course, it's time to go to Kanwai's hometown in part...... However, the Balhu and Daur who defected to us do not have to share with them, and they are not short of population. ”

Now the standard Eight Banners Manchurian Niulu should have two or three hundred households, while the Han Army Niulu usually has four or five hundred households. Of course, the number of households in Niu Lu is only an approximation, and sometimes there is a big gap between Niu Lu.

And the newly compiled Zhenglu Banner's cattle records are relatively standard, basically 500 households - after a cattle record point set, it is exactly a battalion of 500 people. In addition, the five positive green flag of the cattle record into a Jiala, the positive green flag has 200 cattle records, the formation of 40 Jiala, if each Jiala out of a cow record to develop outside the Guan, then from the Guannai can transfer out of 40 Niu Lu, about 20,000 households.

On the "Old Eight Banners", about 60 cattle records can be transferred, more than 10,000 households, and if you collect some Balhu people, Daur people, and Sauron people (who are also residents of the Heilongjiang River Valley), you can get about 20,000 households.

And these 40,000 households will be divided into nine parts, each stationed in a piece of flag land, while managing the land, while guarding the frontier...... In this way, the Great Qing Kingdom will have a way out! However, it will take time for this to be done, and it will be quite tight for a year or two.
