"Your Majesty, you must not. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After Shunzhi finished speaking, a white-bearded Zhenghongqi pro-noble hurriedly bowed to the ground.

"As far as the minions know, the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is crisscrossed, and the defeat of Prince Zheng and Prince An is not as good as those Zhejiang bandits, but because the cavalry is limited and cannot be moved. I have been invincible in this method of war for decades, so how can I change the law of my ancestors because of some defeats. ”

The relatives kept saying that it was the ancestral system, but in fact, none of the officials present could hear it, this was not a matter of tactics at all, but the existence and abolition of the Eight Banners system!

Shunzhi could understand it, but what this noble said represented a huge voice within the Eight Banners, and he had to explain it in detail.

"It is indeed a fact that my Qing Dynasty iron cavalry is invincible, and the Eight Banners are also devastating in the face of ordinary thieves. However, in several confrontations, neither the Eight Banners nor the Green Camp could take advantage. I also think that it is due to the limited terrain, but now, the imperial uncle has been martyred, and there are indeed no more unscrupulous generals among the Eight Banners, but who dares to claim to be able to defeat my imperial uncle! ”

Jierharang was the banner master in the Huang Taiji era, with outstanding military achievements, and he was the only remaining Dinghai Shenshen-like figure in the years of old age and withering. Such a famous general of the Eight Banners, the relatives and nobles and banner people present, no one dared to say that they would definitely be able to defeat Jierharang.

Even if he felt that his family was fighting with the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang in the north, and his performance should be better than that of Jierharang, he would never dare to say it. Arrogance is one thing, and when he said this, he offended the two blue flags at home. After all, it was the prince of the two blue flags who died in the south of the Yangtze River, even if Yue Le was not the lord of the flag.

Jidu's eyes swept over the ministers, and they were all stunned and speechless, even the pro-noble who picked the head did not dare to refute it, and even the banner owner of the Blue Banner, Doduo's son Doni, couldn't help frowning.

Shunzhi's words tied the two blue flags to his chariot, the last half a year, the two blue flags died two princes, in the eight banners can be said to be a big face, the other six flags behind the indispensable gossip, now Shunzhi will blame the reason for the defeat on the geographical advantages and tactics were restrained by the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies, the two blue flags have been stepped down, and the resistance is naturally greatly reduced.

Of course, in the past two years, it is not only the two blue flags that have been disgraced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but also a large number of the two yellow flags from Dasu to those few generals at the Gushan Ezhen level. The two yellow flags are the basic plate of Shunzhi, and he has already handed over the bottom, so naturally no one stood up to oppose it here, and even the two white flags did not jump out because of some internal chaos, but the attitude of the two red flags of the peacemaker has always been more resolute.

"I know very well that the Eight Banners are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and Taizu founded the country with the Eight Banners and possessed Liaodong. In the past, my father established the Eight Banners of the Mongolian and Han armies, and as an auxiliary to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the strength of the Qing Dynasty increased by leaps and bounds, so that it had the basic strength to enter the Central Plains. However, the world is impermanent and invincible, and the Zhejiang bandit Chen Wen went south from the north, and he thought that he had already calculated. I also ask you to believe that I have no intention of changing the ancestral system of the Eight Banners, and I need to change my tactics to deal with the Zhejiang bandits. ”

Speaking of this, Shunzhi wiped his eyes emotionally, and then said: "Now that I have lost half of the country in the Qing Dynasty, I will not carry out any reforms, and the next day I will be under the Nine Springs, and I will have no shame to face Taizu Taizong." ”

After that, Shunzhi hid his face and cried. The relatives and nobles present were speechless, the Manchu Qing rose in Liaodong, Nurhachi raised troops against the Ming with seven hatreds, and took possession of Liaodong step by step, and organized the Han people in Liaodong as slaves of the Eight Banners; In the era of Huang Taiji, there were repeated breaches, and both the relatives and nobles of the Eight Banners and the bannermen below earned a lot of money, and the food shortage and other problems in the Nurhachi era were also alleviated, and the living standard improved rapidly; In the Dolgon era that Shunzhi did not mention, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, enclosed land, surrendered and other methods, wantonly slaughtered the city and looted, and the children of the Eight Banners enjoyed this fancy world by sucking the blood of the Han people.

The years of the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were the dream times that the children of the Eight Banners loved to mention. Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has begun to go downhill under the powerful offensive of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, although this time to quell the chaos in Shandong, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army has been strong, but this is just against such a chaotic people, and when it comes to the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who dares to say that it will win.

Knowing with reason, moving with emotion, Shunzhi's performance has grown much compared to that year, and even compared to last year. In particular, the guarantee of the Eight Banners system made a large number of opponents lose the will to persevere. With a rough tone, the rest is the balance of the rights of the flags.

"I have made up my mind, with the Eight Banners Army going to Shandong as the main body, to prepare for the establishment of a new army. A new army preparation yamen was set up, which was specially responsible for preparing for the establishment of the new army. Prince Heshuo Zheng is the Minister of the General Office, the Minister of the Interior of the Guard, Guerjia * Aobai, is the co-organizer, and Hu Quancai, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, is the Minister of the Conference. In addition, the Han army is the Yellow Banner Niu Lu Zhangjing Liu Chengwan came to vote, and he made meritorious contributions and raised the banner of Meile Zhangjing. As for the arrangement of officers, it will be pushed by the Council of Ministers. ”

The Council of Ministers was originally a body used by Huang Taiji to limit the rights of the owners of the banners, but now with the passage of time, it has become a body for the Eight Banners to limit the imperial power. This kind of tribal, military, aristocratic and republican institutions and imperial power were full of contradictions, and it was not completely abolished until the Qianlong period.

But now, this institution still has a huge influence, Shunzhi asked Prince Zheng Jidu as the general minister, his cronies Ao Bai and Hu Quancai as the co-organizer and the minister of the conference, and the personnel power of officers at all levels was handed over to the Council of Ministers of the Council of Parliamentary Princes. As for the reorganization of the Eight Banners Army, when the various banners were originally formed to form this heavy army group, they were also in a huge sense of urgency, and there was already a compromise between the various banners, and if the new army was reorganized, it was not possible for any banner to completely overwhelm the others.

The unusually smooth passage of the preparatory resolution is due to the fact that Shunzhi has no intention of threatening the rights of the flags, and the threat of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang exists. However, the real problem already exists, and the severity of the problem cannot be ignored at all.

"The emperor's intention to be excited, it is a great thing, isn't a saint like the emperor of the Qing Dynasty a hundred times stronger than dim Ming."

After patting the fart, Hubu Manshang Shulang Qiu then said: "But the emperor, now that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are lost, the treasury is even more severe. Besides, the grain is cut off, and now it can be said that there is a shortage of food and salary, and the servants and officials below the household department are trying their best to maintain it, but the north is broken, and it is really difficult to raise it. ”

When Shunzhi heard this, he was not in a hurry, sat on the dragon chair, listened to Langqiu's complaints, and then replied: "I have a plan for this matter, and the food is not a problem." It's really not good, the Internal Affairs Office still has savings, and I have to train this new army even if I am thrifty and fast, so as to protect the immortality of the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years. ”

"My Emperor Shengming."

Lang Qiu and Shunzhi asked and answered, at first there were courtiers who felt that this Hubu Shangshu was too faceless to the emperor, but when they saw this, most of them had already seen some clues, and this Hubu Manshang was not so much really poor, but rather blocking the mouths of other potential opponents.

In the formation and training of the new army, the tactics are easy to say, the salary and personnel are the most important, and the personnel are compromised within the Eight Banners, and the food and salary are not so much because Shunzhi has a way, but because Liu Cheng and Hu Quancai have figured out the means to collect money. Seeing this, the court officials all tried their best not to attract the attention of others and looked sideways at the sick right attendant of the military department, but they still couldn't see the reason.

The early dynasty ended soon, and Hu Quancai only had one sentence of gratitude to say from beginning to end, and Zhu Zhixi and others didn't even get a word, and Liu Cheng was not qualified to go to court at all.

However, the matter was settled, in the final analysis, the Eight Banners are not as rotten as they were in the late Qing Dynasty, the vitality exists, and the external threat is too huge. But whether it is Hu Quancai, Liu Cheng's group, or other courtiers, they all understand that there is only a tacit understanding within the Eight Banners in the past few days, and Shunzhi has at least received the support of several banners before he dares to spread out the matter in the early court.

At the end of the court meeting, Hu Quancai forcibly left the Forbidden City, and was completely paralyzed inside after getting into the carriage. Back at home, Lang Zhong was very busy, but there was no one in his party, and they were all doing things outside.

Compared to the others, Liu Cheng was still waiting outside the main hall when he first entered the palace. After a long time, a little eunuch walked out of the hall, announced the summons, and Liu Chengcai stepped in.

At this moment, the eight banners in the hall are here, it seems that you have been coming and going for a long time, and many relatives and nobles have already shown a little fatigue, but when they saw him enter the hall, they still looked sideways, and they were very interested in him, the Han Army Banner Mele Zhangjing.

"The slave Han army is the Yellow Banner Melle Zhangjing Liu Cheng to see my emperor long live, long live my emperor, long live my emperor."

"Let's be flat."

Liu Chang got up, but he only heard that Shunzhi didn't even have any intention of greeting, and asked directly: "Aiqing has returned thousands of miles, and I am very relieved." What Aiqing said, I also think it is true. It's just that the kings don't know much about Aiqing's plan, and they need Aiqing to explain it in detail. ”

"The minions obey."

Liu Cheng got up again, only to see Shunzhi nodding to the kings, and Doni, the owner of the Zhenglan Banner below, took the lead in asking Liu Cheng: "The emperor said, you slave claims to have a way to break the infantry battle formation of the Zhejiang bandits, what is the way?" ”

The purpose of forming a new army is to better organize and train new tactics, otherwise there will be no need to waste so much time, energy, and money and food if you follow the old pattern of the Eight Banners. Doni is the son of Duoduo, is the Shunzhi generation of the Eight Banners of the most experienced military experience, later the Manchu Qing three-way attack on Yunnan, but also this person to hang An Yuan Jingkou as the commander of the army, than the recent quite beautiful Jidu is longer than the way of the battle array.

"Back to the words of the prince, the slave went astray back then, but he learned some things from the Zhejiang bandits, one of which is to speak with data. Our Qing Dynasty and Zhejiang bandits have fought in the past, and the exchange ratio of battle losses is not very good. The reason for this is that the Zhejiang bandits won the battle and occupied the battlefield, and the wounded officers and soldiers of our Qing Dynasty could not withdraw from the battlefield, and the defeated soldiers were also powerless to resist. ”

This is the norm on the battlefield, the victor chases the rout, and after occupying the battlefield, those who cannot escape or fail to escape are no better than pigs and sheep - killing pigs will inevitably struggle for a thing or two, but those who have lost the will to fight are simply waiting to die.

Liu Cheng said, first of all, he got the first impression of those relatives and nobles who had battlefield experience, at least he was a soldier. And then, Liu Cheng laid out his data one by one.

However, the slave read the file, and had read a lot of battle reports from the Zhejiang bandits before, but found that there were several times when the losses of the Zhejiang bandits were greater, and even the Zhejiang bandits were not as undefeated as the rumors were rumored. Of course, among them, it is normal to have more casualties in a confrontation with the Eight Banners Army. However, in the battle with the Green Battalion, there were also two casualties that were far higher than usual. ”

The Eight Banners were defeated in all three battles, and they may not perform much better than the Green Battalion, but Liu Cheng needs to take care of the face of the Eight Banners, and at the same time, the Eight Banners Army's will to fight is indeed higher than that of the ordinary Green Battalion, so it is not all sycophancy.

It's just that what Liu Cheng said, not no one among the relatives and nobles present has such feelings, but no one has discovered the mystery, but Liu Cheng has discovered this point to persuade Hu Quancai and others to use it.

"For the first time, it happened in the ninth year of Shunzhi, the Zhejiang bandits called it the great victory of Shentangyuan, and my Qing Dynasty was headed by Chen Jin, the former governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and led part of the green battalion including Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces to suppress, and was defeated by the Zhejiang bandits. But in this, as far as the slaves knew, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian at that time killed and injured a lot of Zhejiang bandits, and no less than one-third of them were killed in the battle, and the rest were wounded. After the war, the bandit leader Chen Wei set up a new battalion called Shentang, which was used to clash with the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian and strictly defend the battle formation until the left flank of the official army and the collapse of the Chinese army. ”

This matter, the magnates present were not all unaware of it, after all, Jin Li's proposal to change the tactics of the green camp was in an uproar back then, but the origin of the Shentang camp was unknown to them.

"Is that so?"

"This prince remembers that you, a minion, had been demoted to training by Zhejiang bandits at that time, how could you know so much about it?"

The person who spoke was the banner owner Fu Shou with a white flag, this Haoge's son was not known for his martial arts among the relatives of this generation, and he basically did not participate in any military operations, but before he came, as the lord of a banner and the nephew of Shunzhi, he naturally checked Liu Cheng's past.

Unexpectedly, hearing such a direct question, Liu Cheng laughed instead of anger, and then replied to Fu Shou and other relatives: "This matter is simple to say, first of all, it is the internal report and commendation of the Zhejiang bandits, these minions have all seen it, and they are almost unforgettable. Secondly, and most importantly, the military general who made great contributions to the Governor Biao Battalion at that time was named An Youfu, and now he is also a general under the command of Zhejiang bandits, nicknamed An Cripple, who was injured in that battle. Coincidentally, when this person was in Dalan Mountain, he was a subordinate of the slave, and he had a good relationship with the slave, and this kind of thing still couldn't be hidden from the slave. ”

Chen Wen's generals, Li, Yin, Wu, Lou, and the following are such figures as Zhang Zisheng, Ma Xin, Hou Guoyuan, Chen Guobao and An Youfu. With the rise of Chen Wen, the Qing court also investigated these people, but they didn't expect that Liu Chengcheng would have been able to manage An Youfu when he was in Dalanshan, but it made those relatives and nobles who despised him on weekdays and had a low status when he was attached to the Manchu Qing Dynasty lose their glasses.

With this relationship, the credibility of Liu Cheng's words is much higher than that of others. At that time, the superintendent used Chen Wen's tactics, and he obtained a better exchange ratio by retraining the Mandarin Duck Formation, which was also the reason why Jin Li was sparse.

"According to what you mean as a minion, do you want the new army to train the Mandarin Duck Formation?"

Doni's ass changed its position on the chair, and it was completely impatient, which Liu Cheng saw in his eyes, and naturally knew that this could not convince Doni at all.

Can the apprentice beat the master?

Liu Cheng had also heard Cai Yurong mention similar remarks, and the past of Jin Li Shangshu was also well known to these banner people who were in Beijing at that time. Even at that time, Chen Jin and Jin Li proposed to rely on manpower advantages, and train more troops than Chen Wen to consume the Zhejiang Ming army at that time, Chen Wenhu is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty still has half of the country, but the mobilization mode of the two sides is not a grade, and then the north is broken, relying only on the Eight Banners of these people, waiting for Chen Wen to prepare for a year or two, even if he is trained well, he will inevitably be pushed to the fate.

"Back to the prince's words, the slaves are not planning to train the new army in the mandarin duck formation, but the proportion of the mandarin duck formation at the head of each battalion in Zhejiang is already very low, and there is no need for the court to waste too much energy on these things. What the minions want to say is that I, the Qing Dynasty, should compile stronger tactics to reproduce the myth that the Eight Banners are invincible! ”
