Chapter 179: Eight Banners
Jia Ke carefully instructed Liu Yudao: "You go and choose the eight most loyal Tatars and bring them to me." I'm going to see them in person, but you have to remember that these people have to be of the lowest pastoral origin, not nobles. ”
Liu Yu immediately nodded in agreement, but then continued: "Uncle, do you want to see them now, or when will you see them again?" ”
Jia Ke thought that there was nothing to do now, and it was good to see him now, and if he arranged things earlier, he could also deal with other things with confidence. Then he said to him, "Bring them now, and I will see them in a little time." ”
Liu Yu listened to Jia Ke's words, and immediately saluted and went out, after the Chinese New Year, in addition to training his own soldiers, Liu Yu was to train the captured Tatars to enslave, so he was very familiar with these more than 1,000 people. And Jia Ke can only rest assured that Liu Yu will handle this matter, he wants not only slaves who can graze for him, but slaves who can fight for him.
Jia Ke leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, thinking about how to place these Tatars, and in the end he was not very satisfied with it, and in the end, he didn't have to bother with that brain, the earth had already put the way for him there, so he simply moved the Manchu Eight Banners system, divided these people into eight parts, and distributed them according to the system of the Manchu Eight Banners, so that they could become their permanent slaves, you must know that according to the system of the Manchurian Eight Banners, there are no free people among the Manchus, all of them are slaves of the owners of the banners.
An hour later, Liu Yu came in with eight people, and when these eight people came in, they fell to the ground as soon as they saw Jia Ke, calling him "master".
Jia Ke was very satisfied with their performance, and it seemed that his brainwashing methods were still very effective. Jia Ke didn't let them get up, and there was no smile on his face, he still asked Liu Yu who was standing next to him with a serious face, "What are the names of the eight of them?" ”
Liu Yu replied respectfully: "Uncle, they are Ji Rigla, Ji Ya, Meng Jia Kehe, Mu Ren, Mandu Latu, Meng Gen, Meng Gen Qige, and Mo Rigen. ”
Jia Ke sat on it and said solemnly to these eight people: "You eight are all the best of my minions, you work hard for me, I can't let you waste your merits without reward, you have also heard, this time we have captured twenty or thirty thousand Tatars, sent you eight people to these people, and trained them to be my faithful minions." Can you do it? ”
Ji Zhigra first climbed a few steps forward, and then said to Jia Ke: "Don't worry, the minions must do their best, and the minions of the training steps are all known, and they will definitely live up to the hopes of the master after they go." ”
Ji Ya knelt on the ground, and after listening to Ji Rigra's words, he also knelt a few steps forward, and said to Jia Ke humbly: "Master, there are only a few minions now, which is really too few, I am afraid that after I go, it will delay the master's affairs." ”
Ji Zhigela said unhappily on the side: "Ji Ya, how can you say that? The things arranged by the master, we have to do it even if we are slaves, not to mention this little difficulty, as long as we spend a little more effort, we will definitely be able to do it well for the master. ”
Jia Ke was very happy to see that they had been completely brainwashed, but he said seriously: "I didn't let the eight of you go like this, don't I still have more than a thousand well-trained minions?" You take them with you, and when you go, you divide them into eight tribes, and then there are eight tribes. They are yellow, white, red, blue, yellow, white, red, blue, collectively known as the Eight Banners. I am the patriarch of these eight tribes. Each one of you should be in charge of these eight departments in my place for the time being. ”
The eight people kneeling below were overjoyed when they heard Jia Ke's words. They were originally the most inferior herdsmen in the tribe, and after taking refuge in Jia Ke this time, because of their positive performance and hard work to learn Jia Ke's brainwashing knowledge, they stood out among more than 1,000 people, and now they were finally entrusted with important tasks, and now their loyalty to Jia Ke is unbreakable, even if they let them die for Jia Ke, they will not hesitate at all.
Jia Ke sat on the chair and saw their expressions very clearly, this time he had tamed them all, and then as long as he tamed all the remaining Tatars, then his back path would be arranged.
Jia Ke looked at their grateful expressions, still maintaining his majestic state, and continued to say to them: "Since you are already my minions, you are no longer Tatars, from now on you will be a new nation, I think you will be called Manchus, and in the future, you Manchus will be my own minions." ”
The eight people kneeling on the ground heard that Jia Ke had changed their nationality without authorization, not only was they not dissatisfied, but they were all excited. Now they were completely cut off from the Tatars, and they were no longer the lowest-class slaves of the Tatars, but the upper echelons of the Manchus.
Jia Ke said to Liu Yu again: "I have already thought about the structure of the Eight Banners, set up two deputy commanders under the capital commander, and set up five assistant leaders, and set up five assistant leaders under each staff leader, and I am ready to lead 300 people with each assistant leader. Now we don't have enough people, but the shelves must be put up first. You are personally responsible for this matter, let the eight of them assist you, and I want you to form combat effectiveness within half a year. Can you finish it? ”
Liu Yu replied respectfully: "Uncle, don't worry, I am already very experienced in training them, according to the uncle's method, and the help of these people." I must train my uncle within half a year. ”
Jia Ke nodded with satisfaction and said, "When you finish training their eight parts, I will personally go to give them flags." ”
Liu Yu has always been very quick in handling things, and said to Jia Ke: "Uncle, I will take people to the prisoner camp today, and strive to set up the shelves in a day or two." ”
Jia Ke pondered for a long time and said, "You pick out all the nobles among them and detain them separately, don't be with these people." These nobles are diehards who can't be our people. ”
After Jia Ke finished speaking, he stood up, walked to the eight people kneeling on the ground, helped them up one by one, and then patted them on the shoulders and encouraged them: "Do a good job, follow me and I won't let you be wronged." There are still temporary difficulties, and when the time comes next year, I will take you back to the grassland, and then you will claim wealth and women. ”
These eight people were flattered for a moment when they heard Jia Ke speak so gently to them. Several of them had tears in their eyes, and they had been treated like this in their original tribe. They all made up their minds to die for Jia Ke after they went back.
Jia Ke saw that there was nothing to do, so he asked Liu Yu to take them down, and finally instructed them to set up the shelves as soon as possible and set up the Manchu Eight Banners. The eight minions kept retreating, promising Jia Ke that they would tame these Tatars in the shortest possible time and make them Jia Ke's most loyal slaves.
Jia Ke watched them go out, a light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, revealing that mysterious smile again. After counting the Manchu Eight Banners, they can be regarded as being established by themselves, and the loyalty of these Dutongs does not have to worry about it, as long as these eight people can control the Manchu Eight Banners, they will be at ease.
Jia Ke's purpose in collecting these Tatars was to establish a nation that was completely obedient to him as soldiers in wartime and herding cattle in his spare time, and when he had children in the future, he would put these children in the Eight Banners as banner masters, and forever control this nation and work for his family.
Let this new nation be a sharp sword in your own hands, not only to attack the Tatars, but also to enter the Central Plains if necessary, to provide new protection for yourself and your family.
