The day after Sony, Lanbai, and Duran left Shengjing for Guannei, the Shanhaiguan Angbangzhangjing Heluohui from the Duoduo side entered Shengjing City together with Bahana from Beijing, and brought Azig's handwritten letter.

Duoduo immediately summoned all the henchmen in Shengjing City, including Boluo, Nikan, Ganglin, Arzin, Han Dai, Langqiu, Tan Tai and others, to his mansion to discuss countermeasures.

"I know the character of the old twelve best, impulsive and irritable, reckless." As soon as everyone sat down separately, Duoduo counted Azig with a helpless face, "If the fourteenth brother doesn't pass on the throne to me, the twelfth brother may be able to allow me to form my own faction outside the gate." But now...... The brotherly wall has become inevitable, what do you think? Let's talk about it! ”

"Since Emperor Chengzong passed on the throne to the prince, what else is the prince polite? Of course there should be a march! ”

Abatai's son Bolo was the first to speak, he was also the prince of the Zhenglan Banner, and he had three Niu Lu, who followed Duoduo when he went out of the customs to operate outside the Guan, and now serves as the commander of the forward battalion of the Guanwai Gushan Ezhen and the General's Mansion of the Zhenglan Banner.

The next speaker was Nikan, who is now the commander of the firearms battalion of the Guanwai Gushan Ezhen and the General's Mansion under the White Banner. His statement was made by only one word.

"Hit!"

Then Tan Tai of Zhenghuangqi spoke: "We must fight, but how many soldiers and horses do we have on hand?" Is it enough? ”

Shengjing General's Mansion Zuo Meile Ezhen Arzin took over the question and said: "We now have nine solid mountains, twenty-seven Jiala, one hundred and thirty-five Niu Lu, and there are nearly 60,000 people in the registered banners!"

In addition, there are no less than 150,000 tenants in the name of wrapping! ”

"Hey," Tan Tai shook his head, "There aren't many old Manchurians in those one hundred and thirty-five Niu Lu, the Qiding claims to be 60,000, and the Han, Balhu, and Sauron people are afraid that there are more than 50,000!" There are no more than 10,000 real old Manchurias, and 2,000 of them have just run over from Guannai! ”

As soon as his words came out, the atmosphere in the palace hall suddenly froze a little.

Dolgon's policy of having to desperately expand the ranks of the bannermen in order to fight against the Ming has had a sequelae!

Now old Manchuria has become a minority among the banner people!

There are only 10,000 old Manchurian bannermen outside the Guan, but there are as many as 60,000 registered nine bannermen, that is, there are 50,000 bannermen who are not old Manchuria, and more than 40,000 of them are Han people who carry flags.

Duoduo now wants to start a war with Azig, and has to maintain a military presence in the Heilongjiang River Valley, the Jingqili River Valley, Sakhalin Island, Southern Liaoning, Western Liaoning, and other places, and it is not enough to collect 60,000 bannermen, where can there be any new and old?

If he only used old Manchuria, the top sky would be 10,000 people......

Duoduo gritted his teeth: "They are all children of the Nine Banners, what else do they share with each other?" This king is treated the same here!

In addition, as long as the strong men in the coated tenants have made meritorious contributions to the army, they can also be carried into the Nine Banners and distributed land! ”

The problems he encounters now are a bit similar to those of Yuwentai in history, Yuwentai is not enough Xianbei, and Duoduo is not enough for Old Manchuria, and it is even more lacking.

There are only 10,000 old Manchurian strongmen, and now is the era of playing with muskets and cannons, what can 10,000 people do? The Lahans must be joined!

This is national integration!

With Duoduo's words, Arzin continued: "Even if we can pull the strong men in the clothed tenants to enlist in the army, it is far water, and what we can use now is a little standing army, there are 3,000 under the general's mansion, 3,000 in Heilongjiang Angbangzhangjing Yamen, and 1,000 in Liaonan, Vladivostok, and Shanhaiguan, a total of 9,000 people...... Among them, 2,000 people in southern Liaoning and Vladivostok cannot be moved, Sakhalin Island, Heilongjiang and Jingqili will leave at least 2,000 in the river basin, and Shengjing will leave another 1,000, and only 4,000 people can be mobilized. ”

"How is 4,000 people enough?" Sheng Jing General's Mansion Right Meler Ezhen Han Dai shook his head and said, "At least ten thousand, right?" ”

"Ten thousand is not enough!" He Luohui interjected, "The Chengzong Emperor's Mausoleum built by Zhuo Luo in Shanhaiguan is a fortress for soldiers, at least tens of thousands of soldiers!" ”

Duoduo said in a calm voice: "Then we also need to bring some more troops, at least 60,000 troops...... We must order another 56,000 people, of which 40,000 will be collected by the Nine Banners, and the rest will be recruited as tenants!

Arzin, Han Dai, are we enough money, food, weapons, and horses? ”

Arzin said: "Lord, there is not much silver in the Shengjing treasury, only 180,000 taels in total. However, there was enough food, more than a million stones. ”

Han Dai said: "There are enough weapons, and the galleons of the Zhisi Banians have recently sent us 2,000 arquebuses and 20 Hongyi cannons. But the armor was not enough. According to the data reported by the nine Gushan Ezhen Yamen, two-thirds of the bannermen are not worthy of the first class. There are only 1,500 pairs of armor in the treasury of the General's Palace, and only 2,000 pairs of armor are stored in the four Angbangzhangjing yamen of Heilongjiang, Vladivostok, Liaonan and Shanhaiguan.

Horses are not very enough, and our old rule in Manchuria is to bring their own. However, according to the order of the prince, each of the nine solid mountains raised 1,000 horses, all of which were war horses and horses that could be used at any time. ”

Duoduo nodded, "Barely enough...... As long as you can solve it quickly! ”

It's really reluctant!

The current military system of the Qing Dynasty is a small number of standing troops plus a large number of "landlord soldiers" who serve in turns, and the standing soldiers are the forward battalion and the firearms battalion, and they will have a share of money and food when they enter the camp. The Nine Banners who did not enter the camp were the "landlord soldiers", and the money and grain were distributed by the various banners and mountain yamen in Beijing, and the main source of money and grain was the income of the banner land. Those who served in the Yamen of Ang Bang Zhangjing in various places distributed money and food to their respective yamen. In the Tuntian outside the Guan, the bannermen were a combination of soldiers and peasants, and relied on the land to bear the cost of military service - this is also the reason why there were many Han troops under Duoduo and few old Manchuria. Most of the old Manchurians, and even Chen Hanjun (the Han army before entering the customs) were willing to live a stable life in Beijing or under the various Angbangzhangjing yamen in the Guan, and it would be good to have a fixed amount of money and food to eat.

And most of those who are willing to go outside the customs are the New Han Army who have no treatment and carry the flag, or the Zhenglu Banner Bannerman who is being used as cannon fodder on the front line. In addition, there are some indigenous people from the northeast, such as the Sauron and the Balhu, or refugees from Siberia.

Because these so-called bannermen have no regular income, their families rely on farming or hunting to survive. Therefore, the flag soldiers should not serve for too long without pay, otherwise they will have to have loot to grab...... Otherwise, you will have to become a household soldier called Huazi Army in the Ming Dynasty!

And Duoduo did not have much money and food on hand, and it was very difficult to maintain the size of the army of 60,000 for a long time, so it was necessary to fight quickly.

"But in what name are we going to recruit an army?" Zhifeng Tianfu Ganglin raised another question at this time.

Ganglin was originally a confidant of Dolgon, and he also went out of the customs with Duoduo, who became the general of Shengjing, and he became the prefect of Fengtianfu, the only prefecture outside the customs (excluding Lushun Mansion in the Ming Dynasty).

Now the Qing Dynasty does not have provinces, and if the local government does not count the Shengjing General's Mansion, it is the prefect's yamen, Angbang Zhangjing yamen and Gushan Ezhen Yamen are the largest.

Outside the Guan, under the Shengjing General's Mansion is a government with four Angbang Jiugu Mountain, a total of fourteen state-level yamen, among which Fengtianfu is the head!

"Use the Rakshasa people as an excuse!" Vladivostok, Aung Bang Zhang, Jing Ai Xin Jue Luo. Lang Qiu also came to Shengjing, he escorted Sony and them, and by the way, he also sent a batch of guns.

He suggested: "Let's just say that 5,000 Rakshasa spearmen have arrived in Yaksa City, and they are about to invade in a big way, so we will recruit a large army to attack Yaksa City." ”

Of course, 5,000 Rakshasa spearmen can't come to Yaksa City, they can't come at all! Moreover, Moscow also knew about the "Japan-Mongolia Entente", how could Tsar Alexei I dare to provoke the eastern allies of the Zhisbanians?

Therefore, in the past two years, the Rakshasa Kingdom has been on the defensive in the Heilongjiang and Jingqili River basins, retreating step by step and giving up many strongholds.

"Good attention!" Duoduo laughed, "We can also say the same to that fourth minister of Zukofa!" That guy came to Shengjing to fan the flames, just to take advantage of our Great Qing Kingdom, but he couldn't let him succeed. ”
