> see it at first sight. Red. The emperor's move today is clearly prepared to encroach step by step, gradually weakening the flags, and finally unifying the eight flags, all under the control of the emperor.

This is directly related to the vital interests of the next five banners, and there must not be the slightest concession, all the banner owners, princes, and all of them have the same hatred for the enemy, who will not take advantage of the situation?

Therefore, as soon as Puqi's words fell, the blue banner of Mongolia was unified, and the first-class Bojue Luo Arana followed closely and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the servants don't understand that the new Praetorian Guard is composed of the children of the Eight Banners, why don't you see the banners of each flag, and on the battlefield, how should you order?" ”

Chapter 563 Indulge the Blue Banner Mongolian Capital, the third-class duke Marseille then stood up and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the navy is a new type of troops, and the ministers are unheard of, so they dare not have the slightest doubt, but the cavalry is not as good as the navy, since Emperor Taizu Gao founded the Qing Dynasty, my Eight Banners soldiers and horses have gone through battle formations and fought bloodily for decades, and they have already formed a complete military system, which should not be changed." ”

Zhou Bufu, the commander of the Han army with the red flag, followed closely and said: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Mauthatt, the deputy capital of Manchuria under the Red Banner: "The slave seconded the proposal." ”

Then I saw one after another the princes and all of them standing up, and the voices of seconding the proposal were endless.

Yinqi and Yinxiang had expected to suffer the opposition of the princes of various banners, but they did not expect the momentum to be so huge, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous for a while.

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi frowned, this matter involved the vital interests of the Lower Five Banners Banner Lord and the prince, he couldn't intervene at all, and couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart, how could the old fourteen not say hello first and contact some people first, it would not cause such a big momentum.

The third, fifth, seventh, and twelfth are all about themselves, looking down at the stone slabs on the ground, waiting to see how the fourteenth ends.

The ministers of the upper study were also silent. Zhang Pengxi and Wang Luo are Han Yuan Chapter 563 indulgent and dare not speak at all, but the other four are not easy to speak, and they are in a dilemma, so they simply do stuffy gourds.

Zhenwu looked at everyone quietly. It wasn't until no one stood up again that he glanced at everyone and said, "Yinxiang, you are familiar with the Praetorian New Army, and you have also spent a lot of time in the navy, the Eastern Expedition to Japan, and the First Battle of Edo. You've also experienced it yourself, and you come to tell them about it. ”

Yinxiang didn't expect the old fourteen to push him out, so he hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Weichen respects his life." After a little hesitation, he raised his voice and said: "As we all know, the navy does not have eight flags, and the fleet fights, no matter how many warships. They all listen to the orders of one person.

The First Battle of Edo was a perfect coordination between naval guns, marines, artillery, and musketeers, and a large battalion built in just one and a half days. Repelled the four waves of 120,000 Japanese charges, killed 30,000 enemies, and suffered 200 casualties. For this battle, Yin Xiangshi could not describe it, and the emperor summarized it very incisively, and this battle opened the prelude to the artillery era.

You are all my generals, and many people have watched the Tianjin military exercise, and you should be very impressed by the navy's artillery, facing the navy's artillery. The cavalry didn't even have a chance to charge, and now the artillery was enough to dominate the battle.

Although the New Janissaries were cavalry, they were also equipped with a large number of muskets and artillery, which were the kind of light artillery that you had seen in Tianjin that could be carried and run on horseback. In order to facilitate the command and coordination of artillery and cavalry. ”

As soon as the words fell, the third-class male Marsé said in a deep voice: "Equipped with a large number of muskets and artillery, the minions have no opinion, even if it is this training method, each flag can also accept it, under the five flags, each flag is more than 10,000 soldiers, equipped with artillery, can also cooperate with each other, and does not affect the military system of the Eight Banners." ”…,

Hearing Marseille mention the Eight Banners military system again, Zhenwu couldn't help but sigh secretly, the Eight Banners military system has been inherited for a hundred years, and it has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, which is only a little bit of a sign of it, and a lot of people are so sensitive, it seems that if you want to abolish the Eight Banners military system in the future, you can only slowly erode it. Now that Kangxi is still there, his own prestige is not enough, so he will not do his best to move the Eight Banners military system.

Marseille's words immediately won the support of a large number of people, the minimum number of troops under the five banners and each flag is around 15,000, as long as there is artillery, each flag can be trained by itself, and the training method of the new army is not unacceptable to them, and there is no need to build another new army of the Janissaries.

The Manchurian commander of the Zhenglan Banner immediately bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the navy has won a great victory in the Japanese conquest, the first battle of Edo, the record is brilliant, and the minions have also discussed this battle many times, and the minions have a deep understanding of the power of improving artillery, strengthen the configuration of the artillery of each flag, and send the navy to help the training of each flag, and the minions have no objections, and the minions secretly think that there is no need to form a new Praetorian Guard army." ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone reacted that the new Praetorian Guard was their biggest threat, and Mochitatt immediately continued: "The minions seconded the proposal, all banners are willing to accept new training and training in improved firearms, and the Han army banner wants to be trained in improved artillery." ”

The Eight Banners of the Han Army are also called Wuzhen Chaoha (Heavy Troops) which are mainly artillery, and they are the artillery units of the Eight Banners, and they have long coveted the improved artillery of the Navy, how can they be unwilling, as soon as they heard this, Zhou Bufu, the commander of the Han Army with the Red Banner, immediately said: "The servants and other Eight Banners of the Han Army have already jointly sent a letter to the Ministry of War, requesting the configuration of improved artillery, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army welcome the Navy to come to guide the training." ”

When several commanders of the Eight Banners Han Army heard this, they immediately came out to second, and a group of princes and commanders took the opportunity to start a new proposal, and their voices were like a competition, one louder than the other.

The old god of Zhenwu looked at the crowd, and when the voice of the second proposal stopped, he said calmly: "You are all old soldiers, tell me, is it the weapon or the soldier who decides the victory?" ”

Hearing this, Yinqi and Yinxiang's eyes lit up, the meat drama came, the old fourteen began to play the set, Yinqi was silent, calculated the time, then came out of the ranks, bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that weapons are more important, the improved artillery and muskets are amazingly powerful, and the first battle of Edo is purely a massacre." ”

Yinxiang understood, and immediately came out of the ranks, bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the soldiers are more important." ”

Yin Qi and Yin Xiang said this, everyone was slightly stunned, these two people have been sitting in the New Guard Army for half a year, why did they sing the opposite, but which one is more important, it is really difficult to say.

Zhenwu glanced at the two of them, groaned slightly, and said, "Allow mutual discussion." ”

As soon as they heard that they could discuss with each other, everyone immediately exchanged their heads and ears, but the discussion was not about who was more important, weapons or soldiers, but how to try to get rid of the scourge of the new Praetorian Army. (To be continued) Q
