Chapter 741: The Influence of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty (1)
Huang Taiji's action is very fast, once it is determined to establish the Han Eight Banners, there is no hesitation, when he is ready to do something, Huang Taiji will think carefully, thoughtful, without completely making up his mind, he will not leak the news, nor will he publicize it everywhere, but if it is really determined, it will be fully implemented in the shortest possible time.
The establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty has aroused great repercussions.
The Eight Banners system is a system of the integration of military and civilian in the Qing Dynasty, when the Eight Banners of Mongolia were established, the repercussions within the Qing Dynasty were not very large, this is because the Manchu nobles and the magnates of the Mongolian tribes have many cases of mutual marriage, and there are even their own feelings in terms of kinship, but the Manchus' understanding of the Han people is very different, whether it is Nurhachi, or Huang Taiji, all they think of is to seize the Han people's country, and regard the Han people as the biggest opponents, and what they think of is to be able to conquer the Han people. Under the influence of this understanding, the attitude of the Manchu nobles towards the Han people can be imagined.
Huang Taiji's decision to establish the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty caused some small fluctuations among the Manchu nobles, but when the list of all the Gushan Ezhen of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was announced, this fluctuation was largely quelled.
The eight solid mountains have their own origins, but to be honest, these people have integrated into the Great Qing Kingdom, and their qualifications are much stronger than Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others.
The Han army is the Yellow Banner Gushan Ezhen Ma Guangyuan, Tiancong surrendered after four years of Jin, served under Nurhachi, originally belonged to the Zhenglan Banner of the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Han Army inlaid with the Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Stone Tingzhu, itself is the Han people of Liaodong, the Ming Guangning garrison, and surrendered to Nurhachi during the Wanli period. Subordinate to the Manchurian Eight Banners and the White Flag, the Han Army is the Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Wang Shixuan, the Wanli period returned to the Houjin, the Han Army inlaid the Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Bayan, the mother is the Houjin royal family, and half of the Manchus are alive. The Han army is a white flag solid mountain Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, and the Han army inlaid with a white flag Gushan Ezhen Tong Tulai, both of them used to belong to the Manchu Eight Banners of the Zhenghuang Banner, the Han Army is a blue flag Gushan Ezhen Jinli, the Ming Dynasty's Wujinshi, Tiancong surrendered three years after the gold, the full eight banners are yellow flag Jia Lae Zhen, the blue flag is inlaid with the blue flag Gushan Ezhen Li Guohan, Tiancong surrendered three years after the gold. He was given the title of Mergen, which means wise.
Looking at these people, you can understand that the purpose of Huang Taiji's establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was to make the army of the Great Qing Kingdom more powerful and to control more and more troops.
As for Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, who surrendered later, they were crowned princes in the first year of Chongde, which was mostly considered by Huang Taiji from the vital interests of Houjin. It is hoped that more Ming generals will surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
From this level, the establishment of the Han Eight Banners. It is more able to attract the surrender of the Ming army.
It's a pity that this step is a little late, and now the situation is different, Su Tiancheng, who guards Liaodong, and the Jiangning battalion led by Su Tiancheng, are famous. The combat effectiveness of the Ming border army stationed at the border pass, including the Yulin battalion, has been greatly improved, and it is almost impossible to think that there will be a situation where most of the Ming army surrendered to the Qing State in the past.
February 25. The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were officially established.
In order to show the importance of the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Huang Taiji deliberately chose to carry out the ceremony of announcement and appointment on the main hall, and served as the eight people of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, standing on the top of the main hall in high spirits, and all the princes, county kings, Baylor, Beizi and Manchurian nobles in Shenyang all participated in the ceremony.
The decree was read out by Prince Zheng Zierharang, and Huang Taiji personally issued a token to Gushan Ezhen of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.
Dai Shan, the Prince of Li, who was stationed in Korea, and Dolgon, the Prince of Rui, who was stationed in Montenegro, did not return to Shenyang, but Huang Taiji had already sent a special person to inform them of the details of the establishment of the Han Eight Banners, as well as the purpose and role of the establishment of the Han Eight Banners, etc., Dai Shan and Dolgon were completely in agreement, and they were also satisfied with the Gushan Ezhen candidate of the Han Eight Banners on the surface.
The garrison of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was temporarily set up in a newly built military camp twenty miles outside Shenyang.
To establish the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, it was necessary to first clarify the army under their jurisdiction, and secondly, to need silver and food.
After the decree was issued, a series of operations began.
The first to be transferred were the Han people and the Han army who belonged to the Manchurian Eight Banners, and most of these people were drawn out, and most of them became the Jiala Ezhen and Niu Lu Ezhen of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and belonged to the elite of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.
The process of this transfer is not simple, Prince Zheng Zierharang and Fan Wencheng are jointly responsible for the transfer, Huang Taiji let Fan Wencheng be responsible for this matter, which made everyone fall off their eyes, since Nurhachi founded Houjin, it is impossible for the Han people to directly meddle in anything with the Manchurian Eight Banners, the implication is that they cannot meddle in the military deployment of the Houjin, and later many Han troops who surrendered to the Houjin were also as subordinate troops, under the leadership of the Manbaqi, they fought everywhere, and it was impossible to call the shots. After all, the Great Qing Kingdom is the Great Qing Kingdom of the Manchus, and it is the Manchus who play a decisive role.
However, no one dares to disobey the holy decree of Huang Taiji.
This also shows that Huang Taiji has great trust in Fan Wencheng, and this trust has reached the point of no return.
The elite of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty is also the officers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, there is a great mystery in this, the officers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are basically drawn from the Han people to whom the Eight Banners belong, and every Han person who is transferred has a certain imprint.
For example, the Han people drawn from the middle of the Zhenghuang Banner, he is the most loyal to Huang Taiji, that is, the banner owner of the Zhenghuang Banner, and the Han people drawn from the middle of the Zhenghuang Banner are loyal to Huang Taiji at the same time, they must also be loyal to Prince Li.
Zierharang is very clear about the truth in this, and he also knows Huang Taiji's intention to let Fan Wencheng participate in the selection of officers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, so in terms of related matters, let Fan Wencheng do it.
According to the calculation of the amount of five Jiala Ezhen and twenty-five Niu Lu Zhenzhen for each banner, the direct military commander of the Han Eight Banner needs to be equipped with 240 men, plus some other deputy posts and quartermasters, and the total number of officers is close to 500.
After the selection work began, troops continued to enter the barracks of the Han Eight Banners, and the number of them was small in the early stage.
Fan Wencheng put forward a suggestion that the officers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who were drawn from the middle of the Eight Banners should be carried out in a fixed proportion, and that the number of officers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty should be forty in total, and two people would be drawn from the Eight Banners' Red Banners, Red Flags, White Flags, White Flags, Blue Flags, and Blue Banners, and the remaining 28 people would all be drawn from the Yellow Banner and the Yellow Banner.
There were a total of 200 people in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and 15 people were drawn from the Red Banner, the Red Flag, the White Flag, the Blue Flag, and the Blue Banner Army, and the remaining 110 people were all drawn from the Yellow Banner and the Yellow Banner.
As for the relevant deputies and quartermasters, etc., they were evenly drawn from the Manchurian Eight Banners.
Hardly on the move, Zilharang agreed to the proportion.
When the two of them played this plan to Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji didn't say anything, and if he didn't say it, it was equivalent to agreeing.
Next, when the Han Eight Banner sergeants were transferred, Fan Wencheng came up with a plan again.
It turned out that the Han army led by Kong Youde, because Kong Youde was martyred, the rest of the soldiers were all incorporated into the Han Eight Banners, no matter which banner they belong to now, all of them were drawn out, the Han army led by Geng Zhongming was transferred to the Han Eight Banners, and the Han army led by Shang Kexi was transferred to the Han Eight Banners, so that the Han Eight Banners had a strength of nearly 40,000 people, and the gap of 20,000 was continued to be drawn from the middle of the Eight Banners.
As for the Han army led by Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, it was directly controlled by the emperor, but when the Han Eight Banners launched a battle and slaughter, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi had to assist, and when necessary, the Han Eight Banners could be directly dispatched.
If the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty had less than 60,000 soldiers, they could be recruited among the Han people in Liaodong.
Huang Taiji also completely agrees with this plan.
At this time, Jierharang understood that Fan Wencheng probably knew about the plan for the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, that is to say, Huang Taiji had already discussed with Fan Wencheng, and with a preliminary plan, he came forward to take charge of specific matters, but he just hung a sign, because of such a big matter, Fan Wencheng was directly asked to be responsible, and it was impossible to pass in the court.
Of course, Jierharang will not have any opinion on Huang Taiji, the initiative to establish the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, he fully agrees, can make good use of these Han army generals, for the stability of the military strength of the Qing Dynasty, has a huge role, it can attack the jade of the mountain, after all, there are not many Manchurians, and it is enough to master the center.
But Jierharang has a lot of opinions on Fan Wencheng, when the Qing Dynasty was established, Jierharang had some views on Fan Wencheng, the relationship between Huang Taiji and his brothers was originally intimate, no matter what happened between the Manchus, what disputes arose, it was a matter between the Manchus, and it was up to the Manchus to decide whether to kill or chop, and you Fan Wencheng didn't need to worry about it, and now you Fan Wencheng are worried about so many things, especially between Huang Taiji and his brothers, a fence has been erected, Artificially created obstacles, and used the pedantic thinking of the Han people to confuse Huang Taiji, wouldn't it be sinister with sinister intentions.
Zilharang's mind is meticulous and calm, these thoughts will not be revealed, he is different from Dolgon, and he is not used to Azig's recklessness, and the key things are all in his heart, looking for an opportunity to vent, and now Huang Taiji is unusually favored by Fan Wencheng, at this time, it is by no means an opportunity to make trouble, or endure it, anyway, what Huang Taiji needs to rely on in the end is still Manchurian nobles, not the Han people represented by Fan Wencheng.
