The return of the indigenous tribes is a great blessing for Hongmen. /p>

Although the population of the entire indigenous tribes of the Bengang Alliance is only five or six hundred thousand people combined, because of their poor living environment in the early years, although they have gradually shaken off the backward and hungry environment with the help of Hongmen, until now less than one-tenth of the middle-aged and elderly people in these tribes are over 50 years old. /p>

Therefore, with such a population base, it can provide Hongmen with more than 100,000 excellent soldiers, and these soldiers are all hard-working and not afraid of sacrifice, even if they are qualified soldiers without too much training, at least the quality of the regular army of the Han people. /p>

After several months of training in the Hongtang army, these soldiers learned military discipline and military regulations and battle formation tactics, but their quality was close to those veterans in Hongtang's headquarters, and they were not necessarily much worse than the children of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. /p>

It is precisely with these indigenous tribes that the urgent needs of the Hongtang army have been greatly alleviated, and when the war in the northeast came to an end, the Hongmen headquarters was not idle for a moment. The Northeast War lost more than 70,000 troops at one time, which weakened the strength of Hongtang's army by half. /p>

Hongmen itself is small in size, and the background is also shallow, and it is not easy to pull out such a large army, to be honest, the pressure on Hongmen is great, beyond the imagination of ordinary people. /p>

If it weren't for the fact that Hongmen monopolized the Ming Dynasty's foreign trade channels and relied on its high profits to support this army, otherwise it would not be so easy to burden such a huge army with less than half of Dayuandao and Luzon and a team with a population of less than three million. /p>

And even if there were Ming Dynasty refugees who could let Hongmen profit from it and try to select healthy adult men, it was inevitable that these men would be recruited into the army, and their families would need Hongmen to provide for them, making Hongmen's invisible burden even heavier. /p>

Coupled with the pensions of more than 70,000 soldiers who died in the war before, as well as their families and relatives who need to be taken care of by Hongmen on weekdays, such as this, in fact, the burden of Hongmen in the future will be much greater than that of the shameless government of the Ming Dynasty. /p>

The warriors of the indigenous tribes, although they enjoy the Hongmen's pension system to appease the hearts of the tribes when they are killed, and at the same time, each tribe will also get the corresponding distribution of spoils according to the amount of effort, but because their tribal members still retain the habit of taking care of each other, it also makes the Hongmen pay much less in the back. /p>

All these things make the indigenous warriors the best choice for Hongmen to solve the urgent needs at present. /p>

Previously, 50,000 indigenous tribal warriors were recruited to the north to support Wu Jie and them, and now 50,000 warriors were recruited again, which was not impossible for the total number of warriors of the Bengang Alliance. With the vast majority of the tribes truly returning to the Hongmen, it means that they no longer have to do much in terms of military power in order to protect themselves. /p>

Because Hongmen does not have many requirements for these tribes that belong to the Hongmen, but in terms of military strength, it is resolutely owned by the Hongmen, and in the future, the guards of these tribes will be fully responsible for the Hongtang Military Department. /p>

The warriors of the tribe can join the Hongtang army, and at the same time, after militarized education and training, and after making military achievements, they can all get the promotion of military rank and rank without sub-clan. /p>

It's just that the commanders who these indigenous officers will be responsible for in the future will no longer be the patriarchs and elders of their clans, but the Hongtang Military Department and Li Tianyang himself. /p>

The recruitment work is proceeding well, and after the second crop harvest, the 30,000 troops of the first part of the first stage have been recruited. /p>

Later, he trained in military bases such as Bengang and Keelung Town for about a month, and in September, he was requisitioned and transferred to the Northeast Pass with food supplies, bringing a strong new force to Wu Jie and his team. /p>

Under the subtle influence of these years, the indigenous warriors gradually began to restrain their wildness when they were living in the primeval forest, and learned the institutional construction and militarized management of the Hongtang army, but the Hongtang military department did not need to put much effort into this regard. /p>

Instead, more energy was spent on grinding in disputes and frictions between the warriors of various tribes. After all, in the past few years, although the members of the Bengang Alliance are not allowed to fight and friction on the surface, the disputes between the neighboring tribes over some forest farms, land and other trivial things have not been broken. /p>

In addition, the long-standing hostility between many tribes, even if they join the Bengang Alliance in order to survive, the concept of hatred instilled by the elders since childhood makes the tribal warriors always maliciously face each other because they once belonged to different tribes. /p>

Of course, these are just small frictions under the general trend, in front of the powerful war machine of the Hongtang Military Department, even if it is a dragon, it has to be coiled well, not to mention that it is just some tribal contradictions that have no origin. /p>

A month or so of training is not enough for an indigenous soldier to become a qualified soldier, but the fact is imminent, and Hongmen cannot afford to spend more time on training soldiers. /p>

In this short period of more than a month, the Qing Dynasty was making frequent moves, first Prince Rui Dolgon and Haoge, Daishan and other princes reached a consensus, and the two sides negotiated the conditions, so that the battle for the rights of the Qing Dynasty and others came to an end. /p>

Subsequently, under the order of Prince Rui, who was in a stable position, the tribes to which the Eight Banners belonged began to draw soldiers who could fight, and at the same time, the Mongolian Eight Banners of Guilu were also urgently recruiting warriors from the clan, and a large army that could be said to be convened by the power of the Qing Dynasty was forming. /p>

Although, after countless previous wars, the total number of soldiers of the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty is now difficult, I am afraid that it is difficult to have the quantity and quality of the scale of more than 100,000 people recruited at one time. However, in addition to the Mongolian warriors who are only slightly inferior to the Jurchen Eight Banner soldiers, the number of Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers exceeds 100,000, which is already a sure thing. /p>

On the other hand, the army of the Hongtang military headquarters in the northeast, with a number of 70,000 soldiers, seems to be not much worse than the main force of the Manchu and Mongolian forces in the Qing Dynasty, but now the Hongtang army is divided into two parts, one of which is the Shanhaiguan-Zunhua garrison led by Xiao Xiurong, which shares a small part of the Hongtang military headquarters with a total of about 20,000 people, to guard against the very likely breakthrough action of the southern Aobai department, and the rest has to defend the long defense line from Gongchangling to Maohel Mountain. /p>

In any case, with the excavation of the Gongchangling iron ore, in order not to let the allies of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce lose confidence, the Hongtang Military Department could no longer lose the hilly area of Gongchangling. /p>

Because, in the long hilly area south of Gongchangling, the Anshan Mine, led by Hongmen and strongly supported by the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, was officially established and has begun the first phase of production input. /p>
