The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are composed of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

Although the status of the Eight Banners of the Han Army is light, the number of soldiers is not many, and the quota is 167 Niu Lu when entering the customs, which is higher than that of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, because the Eight Banners of the Han Army are good at using firearms, and their combat power is better than that of the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

Although Zhenwu's words are suspected of favoring the Han military flag, it is also an indisputable fact, but Yin Qi is still quite dismissive in his heart, the Han military flag attaches importance to firearms, but the riding and shooting is not so unbearable, the thousands of Han military banner people in the Xiao cavalry battalion have not seen a few people who are not skilled in archery, but he dare not say this, Nian Qianyao, Yue Zhongqi and both belong to the Han military banner, this is said, but it is not pleasing on all sides, therefore, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Ministers." ”

Nian Qianyao, Yue Zhongqi and the two are secretly happy, Zhenwu attaches great importance to firearms, not only vigorously promote the improvement of firearms, but also in the navy is also a real implementation of the integration of Manchu, Mongolia and Han, and now it is obvious to favor the Han military flag, it seems that sooner or later, the new guard army will be the same as the navy, vigorously promote the integration of Manchu, Mongolia and Han, which is a great good thing for their Han army banner people.

Zhenwu looked at the three of them with a smile, and then asked, "How is the training of the Praetorian Guards?" ”

Along the way, Yin Qi expected that Zhenwu would definitely ask about the training, so he had already prepared, and opened his mouth and said: "Back to the emperor, since the live-fire training was carried out, after seeing the power of improved firearms, the morale of the 20,000 people in the Praetorian New Army is high, and such a dense live-fire training is unheard of, which shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to the Praetorian New Army." In view of this, all officers and men trained hard and spontaneously, and there was no need to worry about it at all. ”

Nian Qianyao then said: "The Praetorian New Army not only has a strict military appearance, but also strict military discipline. And the training is well-practiced, the training is diligent, compared with the Eight Banners Forbidden Brigade in Beijing, it can be said that there is a difference between cloud and mud, the slave is stupid, but he really does not understand, he is the same as the children of the Eight Banners. Why is the gap so big? ”

Usually I really didn't see it, the level of flattery of Qianyao this year is not low, Zhenwu smiled slightly, and then said: "If you don't understand, then summarize it well, carefully find out the reason, as a general, you must be diligent in thinking." Good at finding problems and solving problems. ”

"The emperor's teachings are remembered by the minions. Don't dare to live up to the emperor's heavy responsibility. Nian Qianyao hurriedly bowed and said.

Yue Zhongqi bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, according to this training method, after a year, the Praetorian New Army will inevitably be a strong army that is difficult to meet opponents, but what the last general is worried about is whether the New Guard Army will rely too much on firearms in the future, and the last general is even more worried that because of the powerful firearms, the new Praetorian Guard army has bred a kind of arrogance, as the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the training of the new Praetorian Guard has not been completed." Without a battle, he was blindly arrogant, and it was difficult to temper himself into a hero in a hundred battles. ”

Hearing this, Nian Qianyao couldn't help but glance at Yue Zhongqi, this person was personally transferred to the Praetorian Guard New Army by name by Zhenwu, and he was entrusted with a heavy task as soon as he came. On an equal footing with him, when he was the governor of Sichuan, Yue Zhongqi was just a military officer who relied on donations to know and reform together, and served as a guerrilla in the Central Domain, relying on his Lao Zi Yue Shenglong, who was the governor of Sichuan, but he was an unknown person, originally thought that Zhenwu promoted him unusually and transferred him to the new army of the Praetorian Guard in order to check and balance, because the whole capital knew that he was not compatible with Yue Shenglong, and now it seems that it is not exactly like that, this kid still has some goods in his stomach. …,

Zhenwu glanced at Yue Zhongqi with appreciation, this person can be called the 'Martial Ministers of the Three Dynasties', it is really not a false name of Lang, how old is he now, less than thirty years old, he can have this insight, it is indeed commendable, it seems that for a general, he still has to have a certain talent.

After a little muttering, Zhenwu said slowly: "I have said many times on different occasions that whether an army is strong or elite, whether it can win a hundred battles, is not to see whether the weapons are sharp or not, but to see whether the generals and soldiers have the heart to dare to die and the heart to die, and whether the generals and soldiers have the courage to fight in a short battle.

Speaking of short-range meat, I will inform you in advance, the naval workshop has made bayonets that can be easily loaded and unloaded on muskets, I have seen the sample, very good, I have ordered the replacement of all muskets, all future muskets are equipped with bayonets, bayonet fighting, that is, short-handed meat fighting, must be vigorously trained in the future, not only the skills of fighting, but more importantly, the courage of fighting, I do not want the new Praetorian Guard to train a group of soldiers who will only rely on firearms for long-range attacks. In addition, a new type of saber for cavalry has been formed, which will soon be mass-produced, and the training of chopping and chopping on horses will also need to be strengthened. ”

Listening to the musket can be loaded with bayonets, Nian Qianyao and Yue Zhongqi are both happy in their hearts, to say that the biggest flaw of the musket is that it cannot be used in close combat, and melee combat is precisely the courage that can best cultivate soldiers, they have also led soldiers, and they also know that an army that does not dare to fight is not a strong army at all, and it is feasible to fight a smooth battle, once it encounters an evenly matched opponent, it will collapse immediately.

Although neither of them had ever seen the style of a bayonet, as long as they could attach a short blade more than a foot long to the musket, the musketeer would not be powerless in close combat, but neither of them was too concerned about the new saber.

Zhenwu paused slightly, and then continued: "The formation of the new Praetorian Guard Army, the most important thing is to target Tsarist Russia, it is a strong army in Europe, not only has a strong cavalry, but also firearms are not inferior to the new Janissary Army, you must have enough psychological preparation, do not be complacent because the new firearms are superior to bows and arrows, and the firearms of the firearms battalion."

Just the excellent weapons and hard training are not enough to train an elite division, and the strong soldiers are not trained, but fought, and if they do not experience actual combat, no matter how good the training is, they can only be used as Luan Yiwei.

At present, your task is to instill fine traditions in the new Praetorian Guard Army, and you must take time to study more of the strong armies of previous dynasties, Xiang Yu's 8,000 soldiers, Gao Shun's camp, Xie Xuanbei's soldiers, Tang Frontier Army, Shence Army, Yue Fei's Yue Family Army, and Qi Jiguang's Qi Family Army.

I have led the navy for many years, and I also have a little experience, if an army wants to be invincible, invincible, invincible. If you want to become a hero in a hundred battles and endure for a long time, you must have the belief in victory, the tenacious will to fight, the proud inheritance of war history, and the fine glorious tradition. Taken together, these things are the soul of an army!

However, as long as the war history, traditions, fighting will, and belief continue from generation to generation, the military soul of this army will be there, and the military spirit will not be dispersed, and the army will not decline.

The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty do not lack a proud war history and a belief in victory. There is also the courage and fine tradition of courage in hand-to-hand combat, why is it only 20 years of glory? Why is it decaying so quickly? It is because these good experiences have not been inherited and not passed on from generation to generation.

If we want to build the Qing Imperial Navy and the Janissaries into an enduring division, we must learn this lesson, and the Praetorian Forces must be the same as the navy, and they must be good at summing up, whether it is training or actual combat, no matter how big or small the war is. It is necessary to summarize and summarize, find out the strengths, and find out the shortcomings. All war histories must be recorded, and they must be good at setting an example and publicizing them widely. …,

In the future, every batch of recruits who enlist in the army should step up their study and learn from the army's fine traditions before and after the war, and generals at all levels should also earnestly grasp the education and training of the recruits.

As the so-called general is the courage of the soldiers, the handsome is the soul of the army, and what kind of generals can bring out what kind of soldiers, therefore. As the first commander of the Praetorian New Army, I hope that you can bring a glorious war history to this army. Create a fine tradition, and I hope you will be remembered for eternity because of this army. ”

Listening to Zhenwu's remarks, Yinqi, Nian Qianyao, and Yue Zhongqi are all admired by the five-body casting, Zhenwu is not on paper, the navy was created by him, and many of the navy's fine styles are also brought out by him, I heard that when the navy fought the Spanish fleet for the first time in Penghu, Zhenwu stood proudly on the bow of the ship in the raindrops of cannonballs to boost morale, and the navy's Lin Wei was also influenced by him when he gathered the whole team under the Spaniard's gun, and it is no wonder that the navy worshiped Zhenwu fanatically.

The three of them never thought that Zhenwu would think so far ahead, and wanted to build the navy and the new army of the Praetorian Guard into two long-lasting divisions of a hundred battles, if this is the case, they will inevitably be passed down from generation to generation because of their brilliant achievements, and they will be passed down for centuries because of their brilliant achievements.

The three of them didn't dare to think about it, so they knelt down together, and Yin Qi took the lead and said: "The emperor's teachings are pure, and the ministers must keep it in mind, and after returning to the camp, they will formulate a detailed system, and do a good job in the training of the new army and the training of generals, so as to live up to the emperor's trust." ”

After saying this in one breath, Zhenwu didn't feel that his mouth was dry, and after taking two sips of tea, he said: "The armor is on the body, no need to be polite, flat body." After the three of them got up, he muttered: "I summoned you this time to pull the new Praetorian Guard out for training, and early the next morning, Yin Qi led 4,000 people to enter Tongzhou, blockading all the large and small warehouses in Tongzhou, and not allowing a single rice to enter or leave. Nian Qianyao led 3,000 people to enter Fuxin warehouse, Xingping warehouse, and shipping warehouse. Yue Zhongqi led 3,000 people to stationed in Lumicang, Nanxincang, and Old Taicang.

After entering each warehouse, the entire warehouse was quickly controlled, and all warehouses were sealed, and all accounts were sealed, so as to prevent people with bad intentions from taking the opportunity to destroy accounts or set fire to warehouses and other dirty things. But the slightest news leaked out, and I dismissed you and the Admiral of the Nine Gates, Long Kedo, without asking any questions. ”

This is to vigorously clean up and rectify the warehouses in Beijing and Tongzhou! Yinqi was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but secretly complain, he knew very well in his heart that Lao Jiu Yinyu was mixing in the grain business, if he reported the news in vain, not only would he not be able to get rid of it, but he would also have to involve Long Keduo, Nian Qianyao, Yue Zhongqi, and maybe even the starling would be implicated, but he could only intercede for Lao Jiu together with the starling afterwards, Lao Fourteen is not a person who does not miss the old love, and the worst result is to affect Lao Jiu's promotion this time.

The three of them didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The ministers have the order." ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly: "This is the first time that the new Praetorian Guard has shown its face in Beijing, don't let the officials and gentry of Jingshi down, kneel down." ”

"Honorable Ministers." The three of them hurriedly saluted, bowed and withdrew.

Out of Jingyun Gate, seeing that Yinqi was not very interested, Nian Qianyao pondered slightly, and then said tentatively: "Tenth Master, but are you worried about the Ninth Master?" ”

Yin Yi glanced at him, but he didn't make a sound, this year's Qianyao's original partner is Mingzhu's granddaughter, and the steproom is the second daughter of Su Yan, the prince of the auxiliary country, and Lao Jiu and himself can be regarded as in-laws, but at the same time he is the fourth child's doorman, after the fourth lost power, it is not surprising that he has some understanding in the old thirteen, in Shunyi in the past six months, the relationship between the two has also grown greatly, but in front of Yue Zhongqi to ask so, it is a little Meng Lang. …,

Seeing that Yin Qi was silent, Nian Qianyao smiled and said: "Tenth Master, I will be presumptuous, if you are concerned, it will be chaotic, but in fact, you don't have to worry about the Ninth Master." ”

Kindness? Yin Qi glanced at him in surprise, deliberately slowed down, and said with a smile: "You kid is clever, if you have any words, say it and listen to it." ”

Nian Qianyao also slowed down, cautiously half a step behind, and said eloquently: "The Ninth Master is good at management, who doesn't know about this matter of the Jingshi's clan relatives?" The emperor naturally knows that if the emperor intends to preserve, it is just a matter of one sentence, if the emperor does not want to preserve, what good is it for the tenth master to worry? ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "The emperor values love and righteousness, how can he ignore the whole ninth master?" Besides, the Tianjin Military Workshop is now on the cusp. The tenth master will relax his heart, this move is very big, the implication will be widespread, and it is purely easy to pick one or two people out. ”

"That makes sense." Yin Qi nodded slightly, Lao Jiu is now busy in the Tianjin Military Workshop, and it is impossible for Lao Fourteen to make him ugly at this juncture.

Seeing that the expression on Yinqi's face relaxed, Nian Qianyao was also secretly relieved, the transfer of the new army to the major warehouses is just a trivial matter, Zhenwu can make an order half a year in advance, so he doesn't worry about the leakage of news, but why should he make an order two days in advance? This is a deliberate temptation! This is suspected of provoking, and he doesn't dare to say it, but it can be seen from this that the emperor has the intention to suppress the Eight Masters Party, and he has to keep a little distance from them in the future.
