Chapter 702: The Battle for the Formation of the Water Division

Experiencing the role of the warship, Dolgon's mind has changed dramatically, he used to look down on the sailor, thinking that the sailor has no role at all, the fight still depends on the cavalry, the taste of fighting, ordinary people can not experience, the white flag and the inlaid white flag led by the Dolgon brothers slowly belong to the most powerful force, more than the red flag and the inlaid red flag led by Dai Shan, as for Zierharang, there is no need to worry, only led the inlaid blue flag, the strength is not very strong.

What really needs to be paid attention to is still Hauge, although it is said that Hauge is only led by the blue flag, but there is the support of the yellow flag and the yellow flag behind it, which should not be underestimated, and the strength of the force should not be underestimated, but fortunately, Hauge has the courage and no strategy, there is no brain, and it is relatively easy to deal with.

Dolgon still admires Huang Taiji very much, he rarely convinces people, but in front of Huang Taiji, he is indeed obedient, think that at the beginning, when Huang Taiji just ascended the throne, the Qing Kingdom was still a mess, too many problems appeared, but in just a few years, Huang Taiji turned the tide, especially the battle of the Daling River in Chongzhen's four years, which completely showed the vision of Huang Taiji, over the years, the Qing Dynasty has become more and more powerful, which is the credit of Huang Taiji.

After returning to Shenyang, Dolgon moved his mind, if the Qing Dynasty developed a water division, he would strive for it.

The defense line of Guanningjin is becoming more and more solid, and Dolgon does not dare to boast about Haikou, saying that he will be able to defeat the Jiangning battalion, thinking that the Jiangning battalion will take Dalinghe City in just one day, and when he took his soldiers to raid Dengzhou and Laizhou, Su Tiancheng did not go directly to the rescue, but attacked Montenegro and approached Shenyang, which is a matter related to the survival of the Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji has no way. recalled himself and his second brother Daishan. It can be seen that Su Tiancheng is indeed powerful, Zhilu Dao grasped the key issues, and as soon as he arrived in Liaodong, he quickly took Dalinghe City and completely stabilized the Guanningjin defense line.

Let's take a look at Datong and Ningxia. The possibility of entering the customs from there is also getting smaller and smaller, the Eight Banners Army not only has to face the Jiangning battalion and the border army, but also has to face the Mongolian Xibe tribe and the Dauria tribe, these are two fierce tribes, it is very good to fight, the Eight Banners Army encountered these two aspects of attack, there is almost no possibility of entering the customs.

The rest is by sea.

The coastline of the Ming Dynasty was long and full of docks. You can log in everywhere, and in the future, the naval division of the Great Qing Kingdom may become the main attacking army, and the role of the naval division will become more and more prominent.

And trained sailors are not only able to fight on land. It is also possible to attack at sea, such an army. It's really hard to come by.

Based on this consideration, Dorgon made up his mind to fight for it.

There are some reasons that Dolgon will not say, and the Qing Dynasty is not monolithic.

After the court. Huang Taiji finally talked about the formation of the water division.

At present, there are basically no sailors, that is, part of the Han army, the number is only 2,000 people, mainly driving boats. Generally not involved in the fighting, the sailor will be one of the most important forces in the Qing Kingdom, and it will never be in the hands of the Han army, it must be in the hands of the Eight Banners Army.

Specifically discussing the formation of the water division, Huang Taiji was well thought out.

There are not many people in the Great Qing Kingdom who pay attention to the water master, in Huang Taiji's opinion, it is estimated that Dolgon, Zilharang, and may also have Daishan, and the rest of the people will not care at all, even Haoge does not care very much, which shows that Haoge lacks foresight.

Huang Taiji has never considered the issue of the heir, he thinks that he is still young and in good health, so he doesn't need to think about this matter at all, but Fan Wencheng reminded him that the matter of the heir is the biggest problem of a country, if the heir can not be clear, or there is not enough strength, it is the biggest danger in this country, and the problem of the heir must be considered as soon as possible.

Because of Fan Wencheng's reminder, Huang Taiji seriously considered it, and this consideration made him break out in a cold sweat, the power of the Dolgon brothers is extraordinary, the qualification of Dai Shan is the oldest, and Zilharang, the strength is not weak, including Azig, they all have a certain strength, these people may not be able to ascend the throne, but they have a huge impact on the future emperor. If you decide on the heir and can't surrender these people, what kind of situation will happen, the ghost knows the way.

Fan Wencheng's suggestion, set up a separate water division, do not be wrapped up with the Eight Banners Army, as for the source of the sergeant, it can be recruited from the Manchus and Han people, mainly Manchurian, the specifications of the water division, and the Eight Banners Army is about the same, the number is slightly more, tentatively set at about 10,000 people, after the formation of the water division, it must be strictly trained, become another strong army in the Qing Dynasty, the commander of the water division, must be the emperor himself concurrently, such an arrangement, can make the water division attract the attention of everyone, get a lot of preferential policies, and will not be left out in the cold.

Huang Taiji carefully considered Fan Wencheng's suggestion and felt that it was very reasonable, but the commander of the specific management of the sailor, Fan Wencheng directly suggested Haoge, for what would be inclined to Haoge, which involved royal matters, Fan Wencheng, as a Han Chinese, is not easy to speak, but Fan Wencheng mentioned the issue of the heir earlier, which is undoubtedly tendentious.

Huang Taiji somewhat admires the meticulousness of the Han people's thinking, this is actually a series of things, arranging Haoge to be the commander of the water division, in fact, to strengthen the strength of Haoge, now Hao Ge is in charge of the blue flag, the first sergeant is not much, if you can control the water division, the strength will be greatly increased.

The formation of the sailors of the Great Qing Kingdom will greatly increase the expenses of the Great Qing Kingdom, but such an investment is worth it, it must be done, and the situation has changed, and some expenses cannot be saved.

As expected, there are really not many people who pay attention to the problem of the water master.

After Huang Taiji put forward the proposal to form a water division, the first person to speak was Azig.

Azig believes that the role of the sailor is not great, the Qing Dynasty has always relied on the Eight Banners Army, the cavalry is invincible in the world, with these silver, it is better to invest in the Eight Banners Army, improve the treatment of sergeants, this is the right way, even if you want to form a sailor, there is no need for special investment, if the Eight Banners Army wants to attack the Ming Dynasty, you can use warships to transport, there is no need for special training.

Azig's suggestion has sparked some discussions, and some people think that this opinion is correct, it is necessary for the existence of warships in the Qing Dynasty, but the main role of these warships is transportation, and it is not useful to fight wars, so there is no need to train them specially, just maintain the current state.

Huang Taiji didn't say anything, this kind of short-sighted opinion, he didn't want to refute it for the time being, Azig and others, for the changes in the situation at the border pass, did not have the slightest sensitivity, and still held the old concept of the past, this must be a heel, it doesn't matter if Azig and others have such an understanding, they must not look at it like this, they must adhere to their own understanding.

When Azig had finished speaking, Dorgon stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the younger brother thinks that the formation of the water division is necessary, the border pass of the Ming Dynasty, in recent years, it has become more and more solid, if my Eight Banners Army attacks the border pass, it may cause huge casualties, in this case, we must find another way, the formation of the water division is the best way, as for the twelve brothers said to maintain the current state, the brother does not agree very much, the role of the water division is huge, the brother of the minister this expedition to Dengzhou and Laizhou, has a deep experience, if the warship is fully responsible for the transportation task, once the Ming water division is encountered, It will cause heavy casualties, the sergeants led by the younger brother are not familiar with naval warfare, most of them are seasick, and many of them can not get up for a day, and they must strengthen their training. ”

Dolgon is the most vocal, the warship of the Qing Dynasty is also the first time that Dolgon has used it, and has achieved such great results, plundered countless wealth and grain and grass, and completely destroyed Dengzhou and Laizhou, this kind of personal feeling is not experienced by outsiders, so after Dolgon spoke, many people quieted down.

Dai Shan also spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the fourteenth brother said is very reasonable, it is necessary for me to set up a water division in the Qing Dynasty, and the minister thinks that the establishment of a water division must be of high standard, according to what the fourteenth brother said, I will build the water division of the Qing Dynasty into an invincible water division in the world, so that the water division of the Ming Dynasty trembles in front of my Qing Dynasty water division, so that the Eight Banners Army and the water division of my Great Qing Dynasty are the strongest, and the Ming Dynasty will be invincible, and the importance of the Guanning Jin defense line has also been greatly weakened."

Huang Taiji nodded slightly, Jiang is old and spicy, Dai Shan's understanding is really not ordinary, Dolgon has his own experience, Dai Shan has never been in contact with the water master, it is very good to have such an understanding.

Zilharan also spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is necessary to set up a sailor, and it is also necessary to strengthen training......"

All three princes spoke, and Hauge was the only one who had not spoken.

Huang Taiji was a little depressed, his son, he didn't say that he went into battle to kill the enemy, he was very brave, but unfortunately there seemed to be a string missing in his head, not and concerned about sensitive issues, in this case, whether he thought of it or not, he should show his attitude, but unfortunately Haoge just didn't understand.

Among Huang Taiji's several sons, only Haoge is older, thirty years old, except for the sons who died early, the rest are not old, Ye Bushu is thirteen years old, Shuo Sai is twelve years old, and Fulin is only two years old. (To be continued......)
