Chapter 740: The Establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty (2)
Huang Taiji's reliance and trust in Fan Wencheng is also due to these details, every time Fan Wencheng considers a problem, he can start from his own thinking, which can be described as meticulous, and there is no threat to his own authority, if he does not reuse and trust such a minister, Huang Taiji will not be able to forgive himself.
"Wencheng is very thoughtful, and this suggestion is feasible."
"Your Majesty, the servants think that in the upcoming Han Eight Banners, it is necessary to set up a military supervision system."
Huang Taiji paused for a moment and smiled randomly.
"Wen Cheng, this kind of approach, I'm afraid it's not necessary, the Ming Dynasty's military supervision system, I know the way, those prison troops are all eunuchs in the palace, bullshit, and they have to command the army to fight, and they also have to limit the power of the commander, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not at ease with the military generals, what kind of military supervision system is set up, I am strange, so distrust the military generals, who will work for you."
Fan Wencheng was not dissatisfied, and after Huang Taiji finished speaking, he slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the supervision system is still necessary, the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, once had more than two million troops, so many troops, if it can not be well controlled and managed, it will form a huge disaster, the reason why the slave suggested the implementation of the supervision system in the Han Eight Banners is also still the future development of the Qing Dynasty to suggest, as for the candidates for the supervision of the army, the slaves do not approve of sending eunuchs, but it must be the emperor's trust of the Manchurian to serve, if you feel that the name of the supervision army is not good, Or that there are too many restrictions on officers to change the title. ”
Huang Taiji didn't speak immediately, in fact, he was thinking, what Fan Wencheng said did make sense, under the current situation, he had the ability to control Han Baqi. But what to do in the future, as time goes by, the Han Eight Banners become more and more powerful, and at that time to find a way to control it, I'm afraid it's a little late, but set up a military supervision system. For Han Baqi, it may form a huge blow, which is a little different from his original intention.
After weighing the pros and cons, Huang Taiji believes that in the early days of the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, it is better not to set up a prison army, as for the next step, you can slowly consider it, if it is necessary to set up a prison army. That was also the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Han Eight Banners at the same time, and it was inappropriate to set up a supervision army in the Han Eight Banners alone.
"Wen Cheng's painstaking efforts, I understand, but don't consider the establishment of the prison army for the time being, and then consider it after the situation changes. It is necessary to set up a prison army, but if it is to be established. It is also an inherent system in the Eight Banners Army, and all the Eight Banners Army cannot be an exception. ”
Fan Wencheng quickly understood what Huang Taiji meant.
"The emperor is wise, and the slave thinks that after a period of time, it is indeed feasible to clarify the system of supervising the army."
Smart people just don't change. Huang Taiji smiled and nodded.
"Wen Cheng, someone in the DPRK suggested that the four flags should be set up first, or the two flags on the left and right wings, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty. Now the Han army has 70,000 people, and the establishment of eight banners is more than enough, which also avoids repetition in the future. ”
This time, Fan Wencheng replied very resolutely, without the slightest hesitation.
"Well, according to what Wencheng said, set up the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty."
Huang Taiji decided to set up the Han Eight Banners at one time, but also need to make up his mind, even if it is the Eight Banners of Meng, it is not completely set up at one time, but also according to the actual situation, slowly expanded, and the Eight Banners were set up at once, which requires courage, the establishment of the Eight Banners, the advantage is to be able to continue to expand the army owned by the Qing Dynasty, according to the Eight Banners system, each banner has a force of 7,500 people, divided into twenty Niu Lu Ezhen, each Niu Lu Ezhen has three hundred people, and each Jia Lae Zhen leads five Niu Lu Ezhen, It has jurisdiction over 1,500 people, and each Gushan Ezhen leads five Jiala Ezhen, and leads 7,500 people, and Gushan Ezhen is also the banner master. In other words, Huang Taiji set up the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty at one time, and the total number of troops of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was at least 60,000 people, which was not a small army.
After so many years of development, the total strength of the Manchurian Eight Banners has exceeded the total number of Niu Lu Zhen set before, for example, the Zhengbai Banner led by Dolgon, the Niu Lu Zhen under its jurisdiction has reached 40 people, and the number of troops under each Niu Lu Ezhen is more than 300 people, and the number of troops actually led by Dolgon is more than 20,000. There are also such situations in the positive red flag and the inlaid red flag of Daishan, which are determined by the combat effectiveness of each flag.
Eight Banners of the solid mountain Ezhen, this person is very important, must be absolutely loyal to Huang Taiji, there were some problems before the Eight Banners, but after the efforts of Huang Taiji, basically corrected some of the situation of fighting for each other, as for the Eight Banners, most of them are dependent on the Qing Dynasty, and there is no big problem in loyalty.
The establishment of the Han Eight Banners is still important in the selection of Gushan Ezhen.
Huang Taiji thought about a list, and he didn't show it to others for the time being.
"Wen Cheng, the establishment of the Han Eight Banners, the focus is on the candidates for Gushan Ezhen, I don't know if you have any considerations."
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the candidate for the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty must be decided by the emperor, and no one else can interfere with it, nor can they put forward suggestions."
"Hehe, there's no need to be so nervous, it's still necessary to be meritocracy, and there is no problem in recommending candidates, as long as they stand on a fair standpoint."
"Your Majesty, the slaves don't see it that way, the army is the weapon of the country, and there must be no other tendencies, and you must be absolutely loyal to the emperor, so the candidates for the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty must be decided by the emperor."
"Oh, can Wen Cheng explain it in detail."
"Your Majesty, the meaning of the slaves, whether it is the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mengba Banners, or the soon-to-be-established Han Eight Banners, is to be absolutely loyal to the emperor, the army can not have personal interests, let alone become a personal tool, the emperor is the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty is the emperor, the army is the army of the Qing Dynasty, and it is the emperor's army."
Huang Taiji nodded, in this regard, Fan Wencheng has long said that the Han people are different, they can simplify many complex understandings, and the head is the Tao, in terms of consolidating the rule of the imperial power and promoting the development of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people are indeed more capable than the Manchus.
What Huang Taiji didn't understand was that Emperor Chongzhen had so many outstanding Han people, and he couldn't make good use of what he wanted, but let the Great Qing Kingdom slowly become stronger, if there were a few more ministers like Su Tiancheng, where would the Great Qing Kingdom have any chances, and how could he be the emperor.
"Wen Cheng said so, I won't force you, I still have some concerns, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi have been crowned King Huaishun and King Zhishun, I don't know where they should be in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, the servants think that Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi have been crowned kings by the emperor, and they should not enter the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and Shang Kexi is assisting in the preparation of the water division."
At this time, Huang Taiji was in a good mood, every time he discussed a big matter with Fan Wencheng, Huang Taiji felt comfortable, many details, Fan Wencheng was able to take into account, and reminded himself all the time, and for some inappropriate things, Fan Wencheng was able to insist, some things that were not very suitable, Fan Wencheng also knew how to give up.
"Okay, Wen Cheng, I have thought of a list of eight solid mountain foreheads, you can help brew it."
Seeing that Fan Wencheng's face had changed slightly, Huang Taiji smiled.
"Wen Cheng, don't worry so much, I'm not so stereotypical."
"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't mean that, the slave is the Han people, the emperor is determined to form the Han Eight Banners, the slave should have avoided it, it involves the interests of the Han people, and the slave is worried about putting forward unfavorable suggestions."
Hearing Fan Wencheng say this, Huang Taiji quickly became serious.
"Wen Cheng, it's rare that you have such vigilance, people are selfish, you are always by my side, put forward so many opinions and suggestions, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are all seen, I know that the Han people in my Qing Dynasty, the status is far from satisfactory, and it needs to be improved urgently, in this case, you should take the lead, whether it is the pursuit of power, or glory and wealth, this is a very normal thing, you need to have some selfishness."
Fan Wencheng couldn't stand still and was about to kneel down, but Huang Taiji supported him.
"Wencheng doesn't have to be like this, I need your help to figure it out."
After Fan Wencheng regained his expression, Huang Taiji quickly spoke again.
"The solid mountains and Ezhen of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty that I have determined are: Zheng Huang Banner Gushan Ezhen Ma Guangyuan, Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Shi Tingzhu, Zheng Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Wang Shixuan, Inlaid Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Bayan, Zheng White Flag Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, Inlaid White Flag Gushan Ezhen Tong Tulai, Zheng Blue Flag Gushan Ezhen Jinli, Inlaid Blue Flag Gushan Ezhen Li Guohan."
After talking about these candidates, Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng.
Fan Wencheng didn't speak immediately, thinking slightly, these eight solid mountains have little to do with Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, most of them are Han people born in Liaodong, and they are not officers who surrendered to the Han army at all, and these people are now in the Eight Banners, if they are the banner owners of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, there is absolutely no problem with loyalty.
This arrangement also shows a detail, that is, the actual identity of the banner owner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty is higher than that of Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, although it is said that Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi have been crowned kings.
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that such an arrangement is very good."
"Well, I thought about it just now, under the command of Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, I still keep some Han soldiers, so that I can also show my sincerity, the backbone of the Han Eight Banners, separated from the Manchu Eight Banners, was originally Han identity, and all entered the Han Eight Banners......"
On Fan Wencheng's head, a layer of unusually fine beads of sweat appeared, and he finally knew that Huang Taiji had already thought about everything and arranged everything. (To be continued......)
