Kong Yanzhou is a native of Xiangzhou, and they are fellow countrymen with Yue Fei, but their conduct is far from Yue Fei. He was a scoundrel since childhood, but he was very courageous. It was also born ten years later, otherwise there would be another giant in the green forest at the end of the Song Dynasty.

Under the system of the Lu Qi Dynasty, the eighteen-year-old and dissatisfied Kong Yanzhou entered the palace with honor.

In this era, there is no law on the protection of children's rights and interests, and people who are seventeen or eighteen years old are considered ghosts and minors in this era. That kid can have it.

By the age of twenty-two, Kong Yanzhou, who had already entered the palace for the second time, was arrested by the government and sentenced to death for blocking the road and cutting the path, causing disability.

At that time, Li Dao went back to his hometown in Xiangzhou to visit relatives, and was begged to come to the door, so he made a law and paid a large amount of compensation, so that the victim would no longer speak.

This is an equivalent exchange, paying money to buy the victim's silence, Kong Yanzhou still wants to join the death squad to atone for his crimes. It makes sense. But if it weren't for Li Dao's contribution, the only thing waiting for Kong Yanzhou would be to be cut off his skull to show the public.

After entering the Zhenghuang Flag, although Kong Yanzhou was begging for a life on the tip of a knife, he was like a mouse falling into a noodle tank, like a fish in water, and he was at ease.

A person like him is restless, and the army is the most suitable for this kind of person, but he has a criminal record on his back, and even a soldier who recruits soldiers can't recruit him, and he won't be wanted. Entering the Zhenghuang Banner is also equivalent to joining the army.

At that time, the Lu Qi Dynasty was attacking Northern Liao, and it was the time to employ people, and it was also the most suitable for him to fight.

In just three years, Kong Yanzhou has changed from a death row prisoner and the lowest-ranking daredevils in the Yellow Banner to a famous hundred. When Xuanzan resigned, only three of the five thousand households under his command had enough credit, although the Zhenghuang Banner under his leadership was experienced in a hundred battles and experienced many battles before and after, but the general inevitably died in battle, that is, Xuanzan himself had several adventures, and the two thousand households under his command who failed to complete their merits were all newcomers who made up halfway and failed to resign with him.

With 3,000 households missing, Kong Yanzhou successfully filled one of the vacancies. Up to now, it has been less than nine years since this person entered the Zhenghuang Banner, but he has already been able to fight with Han Chang.

The latter may be more famous in history, at least Lu Qian is more familiar with him. Looking at Kong Yanzhou's name, he also felt extraordinary, but he was not sure whether he had heard of this person. But just looking at his name, I feel that he is much more compelled than Han Chang.

Han Chang's ability is not weaker than Kong Yanzhou, but who told him to have a father who stands in the way? Before Han Qinghe's abdication, Han Chang was only inlaid with white flags. At the beginning of the Yanjing War, Han Qinghe fell into the army and took the initiative to surrender, but Lu Qian didn't kill him, just ignored him. Later, Han Qinghe reunited with Han Chang's father and son, and Lu Qian entered the Northeast and established the inlaid white flag, so he stuffed their father and son into the inlaid white flag. Han Chang has hesitated for many years in the position of 100 households with white flags, so much so that he only said that the qualifications of 1000 households are not more than Kong Yanzhou.

Now that these two people are competing for the position of the leader of the Red Banner Banner, it is really difficult for Lu Qian to choose.

"Come on, Xuan Han Chang and Kong Yanzhou will enter the Hajj to see you!" Since it is difficult to distinguish between the two in terms of qualifications and merits, let's meet them in person.

Look at which of them is more loyal, then who is the owner of the red flag!

Lu Qian suddenly patted his brain, he was really a little confused, why did he forget about loyalty. No matter how talented a person is, his loyalty is not high, isn't it also a scourge of blindness.

Even if Han Chang and Kong Yanzhou are in the Northeast and the other in the Western Regions. If you want to come to Jinling, even if you are fast and wear the stars and the moon along the way, it will take a while, but Lu Qi can afford to wait.

The positive red flag, the positive yellow flag, and the inlaid yellow flag have entered a state of rest. The Three Banners fought against the Ghaznavid Dynasty, and before they pacified the Xikala Rebellion, it has been two years before and after the line of fire, so don't you withdraw and take a good rest.

The territory of Ghaznavid is now the kingdom of Huo.

And Zhenghongqi, as one of the Eight Banners, is the vanguard of Lu Qi's foreign wars, and chooses the leader, so what is the point of delaying it at this time?

You must know that in today's Eight Banners, although there are still 5,000 regular flag soldiers, there are supplementary soldiers in each banner, and the soldiers are all men in the banner households. When they first joined the Eight Banners, they were not yet sixteen years old, but a year has passed, and the little beans who were not yet old have grown up, so what can they do? Do you just farm and graze at home? That's not the job of the flag people, they obviously have a coat. These people became the supplementary soldiers in the Eight Banners. When the Eight Banners were fighting, they followed together, and when they divided the spoils, they also had their share, but they didn't have as many as the Eight Banners.

Eight flags, each with a different number of additional soldiers. But there are at least a thousand people. Few of these people take the initiative to fill the vacancy of the flag officer, because to do so they would have to make double meritorious deeds before they can be released.

People are ten merits, and if you have one more flag soldier, you will have one more 'ten merits'. And the flag people are still eager to go out of the flag.

The Eight Banners of the Lu Qi Dynasty are different from the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty, they have no special rights, but they are there every time they fight. Every year, people die in battle, and every once in a while they have to cry and mourn and mourn their filial piety, as long as people can have a bite to eat, who wants to live this kind of life of dancing on the tip of the knife?

They initially made a choice out of desperation. If you don't go into the flag, you will not only be despised by the Han people, but you will be congenitally weak, and you will have no life.

Compared with following the Han people to learn farming, they are more willing to pick up knives and fight.

And now, more than ten years have passed, and each of them can speak Chinese and know a few words, and they can smoothly integrate into the society of the Lu Qi Dynasty. Why continue to fight here for life and death?

In other words, the flag soldiers of these years have come now, and after the war has been fought, every family has a good background. After the flag is issued, you can get a Han surname and Han nationality, you will not be discriminated against, and you can live a peaceful life, just if you want to fight, you can also participate in the regular army with dignity, isn't it better than being a slave in the Eight Banners?

This is one of the main reasons for the existence of the supplementary troops of the flags. Only if the elder brother and father of the family are killed or disabled in battle, the younger brother and son will automatically be replaced. Otherwise, it is very rare for a family of flag people to have two or three flag soldiers.

In this case, the supplementary soldiers have become an indispensable existence for each banner, and the number of eight banner soldiers has been invisibly expanded. Coupled with the existence of the subordinates of the banner, the real strength of each banner is not 5,000 people, but tens of thousands. It's just that the combat effectiveness of those coated soldiers is weaker.

Each of these flags is a small tribe on the grassland, and the eight banners have reached the limit allowed by Lu Qian.

Therefore, the selection of each flag owner must be cautious and important.

Han Chang in the Northeast and Kong Yanzhou in the Western Regions, when they received the order, they immediately rushed to Jinling with their entourage. Even at that time, the northeast and western regions were already snowing.
