Compared with the incomprehension of the talents, in fact, the instructors under Yang Chao also did not understand.

"Can you show up for war?"

Countless people have complained in private.

Yes, as long as an individual undergoes systematic military training, he can become a qualified soldier, there is no doubt about this.

The scholars recruited by Yang Chao before, whether they were recruited from the refugees in Xinjiangkou or from the refugees from the north, went to the battlefield, and under the constraints of military law, they could charge into battle like ordinary soldiers, and they could kill people with knives.

And when these scholars found out that they could kill people with knives like others, their world view also changed, and it turned out that they were the same as ordinary people, and any gentleman who didn't do anything was just an excuse for cowardice.

So if it weren't for the records on the file, but there was no difference between scholars and soldiers from the appearance, those scholars who had killed people with knives were also like other soldiers, scolding their mothers, fighting, and hooking up with girls all day long, maybe they felt that it was more tangible to live like this, and they had transformed from a scholar with a halo to a real person.

Now this group of scholars who have defeated the arrogant psychology have become the elite of Yang Chao's army, they are easier to get promoted than illiterate soldiers, as long as they have been in battle and charged, they are basically small officers, and those who are more lucky, such as those who have been injured, will be promoted to be a deputy next to middle-level officers, help these officers deal with paperwork, and accumulate command experience at the same time.

The appearance of this group of scholars now is what this group of talents will look like in the future, and Yang Chao is convinced of this.

As for the instructor's hard work, Yang Chao told them to beat one word, beat hard, and tame these disobedient kittens with sticks, all of which are habitual problems, Yang Chao is not their father, and the army is not their mansion.

Sticks are the best teachers, and after a month of beatings, you may not be convinced. But no one spoke out, and no one questioned it to their faces, and they finally learned to obey.

I have to say that these talents still have the intelligence to learn, and they know that their learning ability is indeed stronger than that of ordinary soldiers after obedience. They are faster to line up, stand in a military posture, and turn left and right, and few people are beaten because they can't distinguish between left and right.

The only thing is that in terms of assassination technology, it is not as good as those poor soldiers, which is related to the fact that their muscles have not been exercised for a long time and their activity level is too low. It is easier to let a poor boy who is accustomed to plowing the land with a hoe and chopping wood with an axe pick up a spear and assassinate him than to let a Xiucai who only knows how to hold a pen and hold a woman.

After two months of contact, the Xiucai were qualified to master the assassination skills and were able to reach the level of ordinary soldiers contacting for half a month to a month, and they finally walked out of the new barracks and began to enter the official army.

At this time, the talents had been fully appointed, although they were depressed and depressed. But they were all honest, no one tried to escape, and those who tried to escape were all captured and beheaded in public, and the fact that the bloody forest was drenched told them that they were really just a big soldier, and they really wanted to go to the battlefield desperately.

After sending these Xiucai to the front line in Xuzhou, Suzhou and other places, it was already March of the following year, March of the first year of Longwu (the first year of Longwu in this book is 1646).

The entire land of the Ming Dynasty is still full of smoke.

The Manchu forces in the north, after a complicated political struggle, Hauge came out of the mountains.

When Yang Chao received a secret message from the sea. I also think it's very weird, and I feel that Dorgon shouldn't be able to fight Hauge.

Could it be that he killed Dorgon himself, which is equivalent to cutting off one of Dorgon's arms, so that he can't suppress Hauge's power?

Eight Banners at the time of its initial construction. Indeed, like the eight tribes, they are each in their own way, whether it is life or sending troops, they are all based on the flag.

At that time, Nurhachi's regime had just been established, and he was able to unite and not be afraid of division. But after a long time, there will still be various conflicts of interest, even brothers often fight with each other, not to mention this kind of tribal organization.

However, Nurhachi has a lot of money, not to mention that those who master the Eight Banners are his brothers, and he has a lot of sons, and the most outstanding Huang Taiji is the eighth, and his son is enough to be in charge of one banner.

It was different in the hands of Huang Taiji, at that time, the Eight Banners developed more because of the plunder, the intrigue was more powerful, and the power was more complicated, and the major leaders in the Eight Banners were no longer Huang Taiji's own brothers, but also cousins and uncles, so it was difficult to have one heart.

Therefore, Huang Taiji adopted the practice of reducing the power of the feudal domain, and did everything possible to strengthen the emperor's power and weaken the power of the banner lord.

It's a pity that he died before he completed the centralization, but he had already done half of it, and in the later period of Huang Taiji, the military operations of the Eight Banners were no longer in accordance with the complete individual actions of each banner, and each time the troops were basically sent together, drawing troops from each banner.

The Eight Banners organization began to transform into a pure life organization, becoming a group that provided personnel for military organizations.

When it came to Dolgon, this situation was even more obvious, Yang Chao had encountered the Eight Banners many times, all of them had all flags, and the people who led the troops were no longer a certain banner master, but the most capable generals.

But the Eight Banners organization in the process of transformation is still very complicated, and the banner owners still have a lot of power, so Dolgon still has to look at the faces of these banner owners, without the support of these banner owners, he can't control the court.

When his position was stable, he could hand over military power to his two younger brothers, but after one brother died in battle, he broke an arm, and naturally some political enemies did not want him to be in charge of the military alone, so they wanted to launch Hauge to divide power.

Yang Chao thought that this was the reason for the use of Hauge, and thought that Dolgon could not resist the pressure of other powerful people to make a compromise.

However, when it was learned that Hauge led his troops to Shaanxi to exterminate the Ming army, which had taken the opportunity to revolt because of the lack of troops after Azig left, Dolgon adopted a series of political measures in the north.

For example, enclosures.

Soon after the Eight Banners entered the customs, the magnates of the banners were nostalgic for the manors in the northeast, hoping to leave after robbing the city of Beijing.

At that time, on the one hand, Dolgon constrained them with the will of Huang Taiji who wanted to set the capital in Beijing, and on the other hand, he began to allow various magnates to occupy land near Beijing, nominally to carve up the imperial village of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, as soon as the enclosure was opened, it was impossible to control it at all.

The results went far beyond the confines of the Imperial Village.

But Dorgon did not dare to risk offending the nobles by asking the slave owners to hand over the land they had eaten.

As for the original owners of the enclosed land, Dolgon 'mercifully' allowed these people to be filled into various banners and farmed their original land for the new masters in the name of our Great Qing Dynasty, and 'merciful' allowed these people to become the coats of the Manchu nobles and give them a bite to eat.

This is the first enclosure after entering the customs.

It should be said that Dolgon saw this kind of harm, and the landlords and peasants who had been robbed of their land rebelled near Beijing for half a year, so Dolgon never allowed new land enclosures later.

But I didn't expect that after Haoge went out of the mountain this time and went to Shaanxi, Dolgon began to allow enclosure again, and the scope of enclosure was larger, and there were more magnates in the enclosure.

In the past, the scope of the enclosure was only concentrated in a few counties around Beijing with Huangzhuang, but this time it was directly extended to the entire Beizhili, and the vigorous enclosure movement took away the land of the peasants in the entire Beizhili, but it helped Dolgon to win over the middle-level figures of the entire Eight Banners.

After seeing Dolgon's methods, Yang Chao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, not only for those people in Beizhili, but also for the Haoge forces.

Haoge's military operations went very smoothly, and he quickly suppressed the uprising of several Ming loyal ministers hiding in the mountains in Shaanxi, and then went south non-stop, began to attack Sichuan, and at the junction of Sichuan and Chu, he directly shot Zhang Xianzhong.

Hauge's contribution can be said to be unmatched, Azig and Duoduo won many battles, but they failed to kill Li Zicheng, but Hauge killed Zhang Xianzhong.

It's just that Hauge doesn't know that the victory of the military operation is no longer a real victory, taking advantage of the fact that he left, Dolgon has re-divided and disintegrated the strength of the Eight Banners, even if there is still a group of old ministers of Huang Taiji to support him, the backward forces in the Eight Banners have abandoned Hauge.

And even if it was a simple military victory, Dolgon did not want Haoge to grab too much, after Haoge defeated Zhang Xianzhong and drove the rest of Zhang Xianzhong to Guizhou, he originally asked for orders to attack nearby Hunan, but Dolgon asked him to come to Jiangxi, the excuse is very reasonable, that is, the Ming army is fighting Jiangxi.

Yang Chao sent Lu Mo to take charge of the command, entered Fuliang County from Huizhou Prefecture, and began to attack the Qing army of the Eight Banners in Raozhou.

Although Raozhou was not successfully defeated, it dragged the 30,000 Eight Banners of Raozhou and Nanchang to death.

However, the progress of the Zhejiang army and the Fujian Ming army was very unsmooth.

The Zhejiang soldiers said that the attack area was limited, and although they failed to achieve results, they also withstood the counterattack of Wang Deren, the general in the middle of the royal body, and held Xianxia Pass.

But Fujian's Zheng army is too shameful, 100,000 heroes on the sea attacked Guangxin, Fuzhou, but was beaten by Jin Shenghuan and fled in embarrassment, all the way back to Fujian, the most shameful is that the army of Fujian and Guangdong jointly attacked Ganzhou, and was guarded here Gao Jinku not only killed back to Guangdong, but also let people take the opportunity to invade Guangdong, and captured Nanxiong and Shaoguan, if it were not for the limited strength of the Qing army, I am afraid that it could be hit to Guangzhou.

Zheng lost the battle, the Fujian court shook, at this time remembered Yang Chao's good coming, desperately urged Yang Chao to send troops, ask for money for money, ask for grain for food, only hope that Yang Chao can hit Nanchang as soon as possible, attract the Qing army to come back, or go south directly to eliminate the Qing army, at this time, Hao Ge led the elite of 30,000 eight banners to Nanchang.

Yang Chao couldn't help sighing, he understood Dorgon's intention from thousands of miles away, he wanted to borrow Yang Chao's knife to help him kill Hauge, the thorn in his side. (To be continued.) )
