Chapter 869: The Cohesion of the Eight Banners System

The Southern Han Dynasty is not only a grass platform team, but also a temporary grass platform team, the main structure is the Hongmen Gang, and of course, there are a large number of chaotic people. Yuan Shikai is not Guoxing, and he doesn't have a golden finger, so if he kneaded such a big pot of mixed vegetables, it would be better to kill him directly. The smart Yuan Shikai chose the easiest way, which was plagiarism.

In this situation of the Southern Han Dynasty, it is not possible to directly copy any system, and it will not work at all, Yuan Shikai can only find the example in front of him, and learn a little from everywhere. The main body is in accordance with the system of the Great Qing Dynasty, but if it is all in accordance with the Great Qing Dynasty, it will definitely not be able to operate. These people in the Southern Han Dynasty have been away from China for too long, and there are still differences in ideology between them and the people of the motherland, and they must be adapted to local conditions. Lan Fang is a good example, although the system of the republic and the kingdom system are different, but the operating mechanism can still be used for reference. However, after the Lanfang system and the Qing system were blended together, there were many conflicts, and Yuan Shikai borrowed from the Manchurian system in these places.

Yuan Shikai studied for three days, and then used Rong Lu's mouth to inform Lu Siyong and others of his reorganization measures. Lu Siyong, the king of the Southern Han Kingdom, was the sole head of state and the supreme commander of the army, and his etiquette and treatment were all the same as those of Li Xi, the king of Joseon. Further down is the cabinet six ministries and so on, almost the same as the system of the Qing Dynasty, but there is one difference, that is, Lu Siyong has very little influence on the cabinet and other civil bureaucratic systems. The cabinet accepted the leadership of Lu Siyong, but Lu Siyong was not the only leader of the cabinet, because Yuan Shikai was very talented in getting the more powerful Lord Council out. This is borrowed from the system of Lanfang and Manchuria, and there is no way to do it. There were too many funders in the Southern Han Dynasty, and there were not so many official positions to arrange for them, and at the same time, many people had a certain amount of power but did not have their own territory, so they could only be stuffed into this parliament-like thing. In this way, they have their own rights and can unite together, and it is more convenient for the Qing Dynasty to control the Southern Han Dynasty.

The central government is still easy to arrange, but the localities are more difficult to handle, and those guys who are like separatists are by no means given the title of lord to discuss politics. And there are some small things that are even more troublesome, they are not very powerful, but there are quite a few people. It's not worth letting them be lords, and if you don't give them what to do, you have to make trouble, which is really difficult, but fortunately, the Qing Dynasty still has an eight-banner system that can unite all forces. The Southern Han Dynasty also became a dual-track state, with the situation from the central to the local government being the same as in the Qing Dynasty, but there was also a Chinese nationality system similar to the Eight Banners system. The big forces have become the garrison generals in a certain place, and there can be a city captain in a small place to do it, which is completely a copy of the Eight Banners stationed in the early Qing Dynasty. For example, Lu Siyong's number one assistant Wang Jiaqi, this guy is not only the chief assistant of the cabinet of the Central Committee of the Southern Han Dynasty and the secretary of the military department, but also the general of Yogyakarta on his own territory, and neither side is delayed.

Yuan Shikai's plan basically takes into account the interests of all parties, and also allows the Chinese to hold together again, which is a very good plan. Although Lu Siyong was very depressed and could not make his own decisions, and some people were not willing to be under Lu Siyong, but with Rong Lu's strong advocacy, they could only accept this plan and run according to it. Of course, there are some who don't buy it, not only do they not recognize Lu Siyong, but they also don't recognize Ronglu, the minister of the Celestial Empire, but they are not important.

"The national system is established, the official position has been sealed, and the place should be stabilized now, please give an edict to the king!" After the general arrangements were made, Rong Lu needed to return the Southern Han and the other to peace, so he took the initiative to find Lu Siyong.

"The small state is newly established, the soldiers are small, and the Celestial Empire is still willing to help!" Lu Siyong had long wanted to kill those natives, of course, he wanted to do it, but the strength at hand was limited, and he mainly had to rely on the help of the Qing army.

"This is natural, the king doesn't have to have a heart, Ben Shuai will naturally help in the battle!" Rong Lu also needs to train his troops, and at the same time deal with those who don't like him, of course, he also has to send troops.

"Xiao Wang, thank you Heavenly Dynasty Longen!" Lu Siyong used to be in charge of a gang was not bad, but now he is already haggard in charge of a country, so naturally he wishes that Rong Lu would handle everything.

Lu Siyong asked Rong Lu's staff to help him draft an edict, and then promulgated it to the whole country for the first time like a king. However, Lu Siyong and Rong Lu both felt that this was a formality, and the villages five miles outside Jakarta were not like Lu Siyong, and his edict could have any practical effect. Therefore, after the edict was issued, Rong Lu took a large group of generals and began to discuss the battle plan. Everyone analyzed the distribution of the Indonesian natives, studied the geography of various places, and prepared how to level Java first and then settle Sumatra, and then Yuan Shikai came with a strange expression.

"Military gate, after the promulgation of the edict of the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, the garrison generals and city captains in the Southern Han Dynasty immediately moved when they heard the order, and launched a large-scale sweep of the natives in various places, and after several days of bloody battles, they have broken many natives and beheaded more than 200,000. At present, most of the indigenous forces in Java have been equalized, and more than 5 million indigenous people have been subjugated. Yuan Shikai really couldn't imagine how the local government of the Southern Han Dynasty, which had been in a hurry before, suddenly seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and instantly became violent.

"How is this possible?" Rong Lu was also dumbfounded, this matter is too nonsense.

"Junmen, the last general has sent someone to verify, and the situation is indeed true, that is, the number of natives who surrendered may be higher. The king of the Southern Han Dynasty was overjoyed, and was already arranging a celebration banquet, and specially sent someone to send you an invitation. Yuan Shikai presented an invitation like a greeting post.

"What's going on?" Rong Lu was not interested in the celebration banquet, so he wanted to know what was wrong.

The sudden rise of the Southern Han Dynasty should be thanked to Yuan Shikai who designed the Chinese nationality system for them, or to thank Nurhachi, who was able to jump for more than seven months after being hit by Yuan Chonghuan. The Eight Banners system designed by Nurhachi is actually a development of the Meng'an Mook system that integrates soldiers and the people, and the biggest feature of it is the cohesion of the Eight Banners. The Jurchen tribes in Nurhachi's time were divided into several small tribes, which were very scattered, and the Ming Dynasty exerted influence on the side, so although Nurhachi conquered them by force, it was very difficult to bring them together. Later, in the Huang Taiji period, the task of gathering the newly joined Mongols and Han Chinese became even more arduous. Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, father and son, thought of the solution that was the Eight Banners system that continued to evolve.

On the premise of not harming the original structure of a small group, the Eight Banners system pulled everyone into a completely new group, and then established a new organizational subordination. The basic interests of various small groups have been safeguarded, and the original contradictions between small groups can continue to struggle within the original system, or they can be digested within the new large groups, while the interests and goals of the large groups are the same. Everyone has become a member of this group, and they have to huddle together to keep warm, and then they are united to the outside world. The Chinese nationality system is a variant of the Eight Banners system, although there is no division of flags, but new subordination has been established, and the territory has been clearly divided.

After the subordination relationship was determined, it was tantamount to organizing the various forces and the small forces around them, and the small forces naturally moved closer to the big forces to seek refuge, and the big forces also contacted the small forces to strengthen themselves, thus once again merging the Chinese forces that had previously had faint separatist tendencies together. For example, in the Bandung area, Lei Gang's boss Chen Zicheng is the biggest force in Bandung, but in fact his control is only in Bandung. After having a new subordinate relationship, forces such as Dai Zisang of Shuangdanmu and others all moved closer to him, and he, the general of Bandung, naturally increased his strength greatly. Moreover, the Chinese nationality system stipulates the sphere of influence, Chen Zicheng can command Dai Zisang, but he cannot annex Dai Zisang, otherwise he will rebel and become a public enemy of the Southern Han Dynasty. All these forces are guaranteed, and they don't have to worry about being destroyed by their own people.

The division of land is equivalent to a contract production to the household, and the land allocated to you by the Southern Han Dynasty court is one acre and three points of land for your own forces, and no one is not active. Dai Zisang, Chen Asan and others of Shuangdanmu, but a small force of only about 100 people, will also actively fight and sweep the surrounding villages, after all, Shuangdanmu will be theirs in the future. And even if their combat strength is insufficient, Chen Zicheng will gather everyone on the ground in Bandung to help each other, because Chen Zicheng also has shares in Shuangdanmu, and everyone has to rely on Chen Zicheng's leadership.

The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are still a very complex mixture of ethnic composition, including Han Chinese, Manchus, Mongols, Koreans, Russians, etc., and even a very small number of them have Japanese blood, so it is necessary to separate one Eight Banners Manchuria, Mongolian Eight Banners, Han Army Eight Banners, and there is also the saying that there are five banners under the three banners. The brothers of the Southern Han Dynasty did not have so many words, they had a single ethnic composition, and their relatives and estrangements in the new regime were almost the same, and everyone was the same person, so there was nothing to say except for a Chinese. The magic of the Eight Banners system is very great, and the bannermen of the Qing Dynasty have been imprisoned in it for generations and cannot get out, and it is conceivable what the results of the Chinese nationality system in the Southern Han Dynasty will be. This temporary method of uniting everyone will inevitably unite everyone firmly into a whole after a generation.

The second start of the Southern Han Dynasty was good, but Rong Lu still had to move, after all, there were still some small thorns in the outside, and there were also great remnants of the local forces, and Rong Lu had to destroy them. The combat effectiveness of Ronglu's new army is probably equivalent to that of a type B division of the Japanese army during World War II. And the strength of the natives is equivalent to Li Zicheng's rogue when he dies, looking at a lot of people, his actual combat effectiveness is very average. As soon as Rong Lu made a move, these people naturally fell apart, and they could only obediently become second-class citizens. The combat effectiveness of the free forces was a little better, but their number was too small, and as soon as Rong Lu was scared, they obediently joined the Chinese nationality.

The overall situation of the Southern Han Dynasty had been decided, and Rong Lu still had to participate in the Vietnam Battle organized by Li Zhi, so he left 1,600 people to Yuan Shikai, appointed Yuan Shikai as the governor of the Southern Han Dynasty, and let him be the emperor here, and left in a hurry. Yuan Shikai was like a fish in water in the Southern Han Dynasty, and was respectfully called Yuan Sima, and everyone revolved around him, and almost everything was decided by him. However, in terms of policy towards the natives, Yuan Shikai had huge differences with the Southern Han monarchs.

Yuan Shikai felt that after all, there were many natives, and the natives accounted for 21 million of the 23 million population in the Southern Han Dynasty, and they had already surrendered, so they must adopt a policy of gentleness, not to mention taking care of them, and not treating them particularly harshly. But all the Chinese in the Southern Han Dynasty didn't think so, they couldn't wait to kill all the natives, even if they couldn't kill them for a while, they would never let the natives have a good life. Therefore, the Chinese have formulated a very harsh policy, and the natives do not even have the right to walk normally on the streets, except for the fact that they can still live.

Under the repeated demands of the Southern Han monarchs and ministers, Yuan Shikai had to agree to their requests. Abusing the natives, Yuan Shikai actually felt that it didn't matter, there was no need to offend the Southern Han monarchs who had just returned to their hearts. But Yuan Shikai didn't know that it was his temporary concession today that laid the foundation for the catastrophe of the Qing Dynasty more than ten years later.
