Chapter 162: The Eight Banners of Korea

"Eight Flags of North Korea." Dorgon watched carefully at the recital sent by Azig.

In this sense, Azig is not a reckless man as one thinks. It's still quite politically minded.

Some people say that the Manchus are a man-made people, and this point of view, whether it is right or wrong, will not be discussed here. But one thing is good. is among the eight banners, the decisive plan is not only the Manchurian, the flag man and the Manchurian cannot be equated.

Now the Eight Banners have been divided into the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and even among the Eight Banners, there are many foreigners, such as Mongolians and Koreans.

Among the Eight Banners, there are two North Koreans who are Niu Lu.

Azig wanted to expand the Koreans into the Korean Eight Banners, and this incident shows that Azig is not only thinking about the Korean war, but also about the current Qing Dynasty predicament.

What is the dilemma of the Great Qing Dynasty?

It was the regime of the Qing Dynasty that was owned by the Eight Banners, and the strength of the Eight Banners was no longer enough to support the entire country, so it had to rely on the Han people. However, the Han people had very little power in the upper echelons of the Qing Dynasty, and under such an imbalance between the upper and lower levels, the Eight Banners were naturally suspicious of the Han people, and under such suspicion, even if the Han people were loyal to the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon may not believe it.

Trust is the hardest thing to get.

Therefore, expanding the power of the Eight Banners has always been something that Dolgon has been thinking about.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that Azig's idea was good.

This idea made Dolgon's eyes shine. I thought to myself, "Is it possible to establish a Hui Hui Eight Banner, or another Eight Banner?" ”

With the establishment of the Eight Banners, even if the Eight Banners of North Korea are not formed, there will probably be tens of thousands of troops. In this way, there will be enough troops of the Eight Banners of all kinds in terms of numbers.

Now the elite of the Eight Banners is even the most capable army in the Southern Dynasties. I don't dare to say that I will definitely be able to defeat them. The only missing quantity. Han Eight Banners, or if there are too many Green Battalion soldiers.

Dorgon feared an imbalance in power.

Now there are more Eight Banner Armies of other ethnic groups. It is suitable to be used as cannon fodder.

In fact, Dolgon also understands that whether an army can fight or not, many times, depends on the resources invested, and only the resources invested are enough, and after a few battles, it will be enough.

Dolgon's thinking came into play again.

Unite all ethnic groups to suppress the Han nationality. There's a lot that can be done here. But how to operate, you can't rush it. However, what Azig thought, there was no problem.

If you want to turn the situation around North Korea, many people feel that it is at sea, but Dolgon knows that it is actually in the hearts of North Koreans.

Only the North Koreans are clear-minded, so the Xia army hiding at sea is just a disease of scabies. If you want to win people's hearts, you can't blindly use benevolence.

many

Ergon approved Azig's recital. But I was uneasy for a long time.

What worries him is that it is not only the Korean war, but also the war on other fronts. Wu Sangui's urgent report has already been seen by him. Wu Sangui wrote a lot of flowers on top of the twists and turns, as if Wu Sangui was a loyal minister who always thought about the court.

To be honest, Dolgon didn't believe a word of what Wu Sangui was talking about. Even in Sichuan, Dolgon's eyes have already reported the situation of the battle that day.

But Dolgon knew that no matter what Wu Sangui thought in his heart, the defeat on the battlefield was a good plan.

Even Wu Sangui has no other thoughts in his heart. I won't lose the battle easily.

At the beginning of the entry, how high-spirited he was. Now, in just a few years, the form has been reversed. It seems that if the Southern Dynasty produces a figure like Yue Wumu. I'm afraid the offensive and defensive momentum is about to be reversed.

No, there doesn't even need to be a Yue Wumu, because Zhang Xuan is not Zhao Jiu.

Faced with such a situation, Dolgon's mind is on how to decide.

If before, the situation of offensive and defensive change is not too obvious. But now, it's almost in front of you.

Battle of Korea. Azig fought a big victory. But the savings of Liaodong were swept away. Dolgon had to transfer a considerable portion of his supplies from Beijing to North Korea.

The Korean War forced Zhang Xuan to issue treasury bonds. It also made Dolgon grit his teeth and couldn't hold on, and the gap in national strength was quite obvious. Even Azig was in North Korea to collect local materials and loot the North Korean ground for military supplies. But it still can't afford to supply hundreds of thousands of troops. This extra expense made it difficult for Dolgon.

For a while, Dorgon was in a dilemma, and he had the intention of strategic contraction. However, they are worried that the recovery of the Southern Dynasty will be faster than that of the North. Hesitant for a moment.

It is to take advantage of the fact that both sides are not ready to fight a decisive battle in advance. It is better to simply shrink the forces and hold on to the stubborn ground, perhaps the situation between the north and the south can be fixed.

That's Dolgon's old problem.

Dolgon's cleverness and lack of decision-making can be seen both in his handling of the matter of Fulin's accession to the throne and in his response to the current situation.

Between advance and retreat, Dorgon was never decisive.

Azig didn't wait for Dolgon's order to come down, and set off a big move in North Korea. It is to establish the Eight Banners of Korea.

The organization of the Eight Banners, in fact, is not much different from the Daming Guard, it is a system of integration of production and military, since we know that the local scholars and doctors in North Korea are all against the Qing army, and these people's thinking is not something that can be changed in a short period of time. Azig took them under the knife.

An enclosure was set off in North Korea.

The Korean army was divided into eight banners, each with more than 10,000 people, a total of 100,000 troops, and then according to the system of eight banners, the Korean soldiers were given fields. For a time almost will be North Korea

The land of anointing is swept away.

Among them, how many Korean scholar families were killed by the Qing army, not to mention.

For a time, the whole of Korea from the south to the north continued to resist in various ways.

But Azig never cared.

After all, he was afraid that it was the main force of the Xia army, not the riots of these Korean people. How many people resisted, without Azig doing it, the Eight Banners of North Korea under his command pacified these people.

Anyone, no matter how cowardly, will become brave when it comes to their own vital interests.

These North Korean troops were not brave before, and it can even be said that under the command of Azig, they were just messing around. Just trying to survive, there are even many people who secretly communicate with the North Korean side. But under such resolute action of the Qing army, they no longer had the possibility of swaying from side to side.

After all, the fields of the major families in North Korea are all under the command of the Eight Banners of North Korea, and everyone has a share. If North Korea can make a comeback, with the means of those big families in North Korea, one of the eight banners of North Korea will be counted as one, and no one will end well.

North Korea itself is a country with very large family rights, and even the Korean royal family is helpless against many large families. If they don't ruthlessly clean up these soldiers and ruffians, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in their hearts.

These Koreans understand this truth better, so whether it is for the sake of the land or not necessarily to avoid being held accountable, their Majesty is ruthless and must follow the Qing Dynasty.

However, there are pros and cons to things.

Azig exchanged the Korean gentry, whom he could not recover, for an army of 100,000 loyal to the Qing army. Among them, the pros and cons are only measured by him.

This Korean soldier was originally unbearable to fight, but under the encouragement of the Qing army, under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, and for a time under the leadership and training of the Qing army officers, there was also a bit of success.

And at this time, there was a news that reached Seoul, the first news was the Gyeongsang-do uprising, which was explained before Gyeongsang-do, where was the weak link of the Qing court's rule, and the Qing court's rule of Gyeongsang-do was only one or two months.

It is impossible to go deep into the countryside.

And what Azig did in Seoul was a fatal blow to the Korean family. Perhaps near Seoul, the elite area of North Korea, it was not an easy time to fight against the Qing army. In the remote province of Gyeongsang-do, it is different.

Such a backlash was expected by Azig, but he did not put his mind on Gyeongsang-do, but on Naju, and secretly said in his heart: "Is it time for Zheng Chenggong to make a move." ”

Azig's estimate is very accurate, the news that Zheng Chenggong's army invaded Luozhou, and the troops arrived at the city of Luozhou by road. It's already on the way, but it hasn't arrived.

Zheng Chenggong officially began the first battle of turning defense into offense on the Korean battlefield.
