Chapter 064: Fan Wencheng's stratagem
"In fact, for this, the master does not have to worry." Fan Wencheng bowed to Dai Shan again and said: "Just like this time the restructuring of the place, from the original nine prefectures to fourteen prefectures, according to the standard establishment of more than 15,000 people, my Qing Dynasty currently has more than 360,000 soldiers.
However, in the process of conquest of the Quartet, it is inevitable that a large number of prisoners of war will appear, and in this process, the Martial Arts Academy has gradually clarified the military regulations and military discipline, in addition to the necessary promotion mechanism for officers at all levels in the army, the soldiers are only divided into three levels: elite soldiers, flag soldiers, and armored soldiers, which also makes our army outside the majority of the unstaffed personnel who are free from the three-level soldier system. ”
Different from the military system in Liaodong, the strategic national policy of all the people being soldiers was implemented in the Qing Dynasty, coupled with the harsh living environment, which also made all the soldiers who could participate in the army physically strong.
has such a military system, but the Qing Dynasty did not completely activate such a system, but even so, it made the Qing Dynasty have no less than 450,000 soldiers.
used to be for such margins and corners, because of other important things, so Dai Shan did not particularly care about this, after all, the Qing Dynasty was in a stage of rapid development at that time, even if the welfare benefits could not keep up, but the capture of this battlefield made those soldiers make a lot of money.
They don't care much about the benefits either.
However, as the Qing Dynasty gradually stabilized, as the most loyal dog by Dai Shan's side, Fan Wencheng couldn't get used to the existence of such non-compliant things, so he thought of taking advantage of the opportunity of this rectification of Mang Gurtai to make up for the only shortcomings of the Qing Dynasty in the army.
Dai Shan frowned and said, "What is the high opinion of Xiandou?" ”
"Back to the master." Hearing Dai Shan's inquiry, Fan Wencheng bowed down and said: "According to the way the minions have analyzed the rapid rise of the Zhao thief over the years, the minions have the courage to let the master form a strong army that obeys the master's orders in addition to the Manchurian Eight Banners, Han Eight Banners, and Mengba Banners!" ”
Listening to what Fan Wencheng said, Dai Shan's heart had some doubts.
Raise a strong army again?
Isn't it enough to have the Eight Banners of Manchu, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and the Eight Banners of Mongolia now?
As it turns out, this is really not enough.
In the face of such a general trend, although there may still be some soldiers loyal to the strategy of firearms, but in the face of the cynicism of their peers, they also have to give up the advantages they are best at, so as to fight on the battlefield in a more savage way.
This kind of fighting style may be able to be carried out in Nuer Gandusi, but if you want to counterattack Liaodong in the future, if you don't have a super firearm output soldiers and horses, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the Liaodong Ming Army on the battlefield!
Seeing the doubts in Dai Shan's expression, Fan Wencheng continued: "According to the existing balance of my Qing Dynasty, although there are still a few subordinates in the middle who are still hostile to the master, they are not the objects that cannot be co-opted, for the master, as long as you have an absolute advantage in the general situation, then in terms of strategic deployment, they must obey the master's transfer."
With such a premise, then everything becomes easier, for the dispatch of Mang Gurtai, the master can still let him serve as the owner of the blue flag, but the premise of these changes is to form a new strong army, a strong army loyal to the master, in this way, in the face of the transfer of the existing army of the Qing Dynasty, in order to ensure that the soldiers and horses under the master's command are in absolute advantage! ”
According to Fan Wencheng's idea, he wanted Dai Shan to transfer the absolutely loyal and surrenderable Aixin Jueluo disciples to serve as the main generals of the newly formed strong army. With the elite Manchu soldiers as the backbone and the elite Han Eight Banners as the filling, we will take this opportunity to create a new strong army, mainly based on the export of firearms.
After listening carefully to Fan Wencheng's thoughts, he also carefully thought about the pros and cons in his heart, and finally found in his heart that it was an effective thing to let the Qing Dynasty further grasp his hands, form a new army, expand the power under his command, and win over the old faction!
So in the end, Dai Shan agreed to Fan Wencheng's proposal, and named this newly formed strong army Green Battalion, and formed it according to the military system of the Ming Army in Liaodong.
In the next six months, the Qing Dynasty experienced a large transfer of troops and horses, and the scope of this transfer was unprecedented, so that no one expected that he could be greatly improved in status, and at the same time, the military power in the hands of Dai Shan was greatly improved.
The soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty after the dispatch are as follows.
Dai Shan holds two yellow flags and red flags, Zierharang is the owner of the red flag, Ba Buhai is the owner of the blue flag, Mang Gurtai is the owner of the blue flag, Derge is the owner of the white flag, and Azig is the owner of the white flag.
Abai is the owner of the yellow flag of the Han army, Wu Dahai is the owner of the yellow flag of the Han army, Lai Mubu is the owner of the red flag of the Han army, Darcha is the owner of the red flag of the Han army, Tang Gu is the owner of the blue flag of the Han army, Tabai is the owner of the blue flag of the Han army, Abatai is the owner of the white flag of the Han army, and Babutai is the owner of the white flag of the Han army.
Baiyintu is the owner of the grassland yellow flag, Tulun is the owner of the grassland yellow flag, Zhai Sangwu is the owner of the grassland red flag, Fei Yangwu is the owner of the grassland red flag, Sakha is the owner of the grassland blue flag, Wakda is the owner of the grassland blue flag, Barama is the owner of the grassland white flag, and Mazhan is the owner of the grassland white flag.
Yueto, Hauge, Dolgon, Shuoto, Nikan, Guohuan, and Duoduo served as the leaders of the Seven Armies of the Green Battalion.
This dispatch of the Qing Dynasty's soldiers and horses not only enabled Daishan's heirs Sahalu, Wakda, Barama, and Mazhan to smoothly join the existing military system of the Qing Dynasty, but also allowed Daishan to further control Dolgon and Duoduo, which can be regarded as completely eliminating the connection between them and Mang Gurtai.
Because of Abahai, Dorgon and Dordor must be loyal to Daishan!
For the internal transfer of the Manchu Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and the Eight Banners of Meng, Dai Shan also made a decision after careful consideration, coupled with the newly formed Green Battalion, which not only greatly improved the combat power of the Qing Dynasty, but also greatly improved Dai Shan's control over the soldiers and horses under his command.
This made Mang Gurtai, who was originally a little powerful, completely pressed to the ground by Dai Shan before he had time to kick and jump, and let him rub it at will.
Because Dai Shan reused Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and I to be a slave, this made the power of the Qing Dynasty increase at a visible speed, and it also gave the Qing Dynasty the opportunity to continue to counteract!
