Shenyang Chengnan military exercise ground on the flag flying trumpet drum sounded in unison, today rì is the time of the Huang Taiji review, the eight banners have been transferred Bayala and A soldiers, standing around the school field, according to the flag transfer into the field to practice breaking the formation, outflanking and other battle formations. The victory of the Eight Banners did not rely solely on their personal bravery, since the time of the old slaves, they had regular formal cāo training, and their combat skills far exceeded those of ordinary Ming troops.

Huang Taiji's golden banner fluttered high in the Jiangtai, and he sat Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai on the left and right, and behind him stood the military department Shangshu Yuetuo and the official department Shangshu Dolgon, and behind him was a group of low-level generals

Seeing that the army was in a tight formation, Huang Taiji smiled, at this time Yue Tuo gave a loud order, and as soon as a black flag moved behind, the two battalions immediately responded to the flag, and each transferred hundreds of men and horses to line up on both wings of the eight banners, and the most striking thing was a group of infantry wearing black sè iron armor on the right wing, and their momentum was obviously better than that of other battalions.

Huang Taiji kept smiling and nodding, Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai both showed some unnatural gods, this pair was the ironclad family that Zu Dashou worked hard to make, all of them were practiced according to Qi Jiguang's "Actual Record of Military Training", and more than half of them were lost in the battle of the Daling River, and Mang Gurtai suffered a lot. They were the most important battalions in the city, and they even ate human flesh. After Zu Dashou fled, the group was also thrown to Houjin Khan along with a group of his relatives.

Houjin Baqi was disdainful of the Ming army, but he still admired the family of the ancestral family, after all, these people were not much weaker than them on the battlefield. Huang Taiji also attached great importance to this small army of soldiers and horses, and did not let them become the coats of each banner, and included that family member into the Zhenghuang Banner, and selected some strong ones from other Han troops. There were more than 200 people, and the treatment was very good. Instead, it was put into Wuzhen Chaoha, and today is the first time it has appeared in the post-gold sequence

Wu Zhen Chaoha's heavy army is excellent in the Daling River. After Tong Yangxìng returned, he made a note (Note 1), claiming that the Han army banner could be organized into a firearms battalion and fight against the Eight Banners. In fact, Huang Taiji encouraged him behind his back to enhance the voice of the Han officials. As soon as this fold went up, Huang Taiji naturally approved it, and also gave each of the gunners who made the Hongyi cannon to Cāo land and clothing.

On the left flank is the Tianyou army led by Kong Youde, who also does not belong to a certain banner, but a separate detachment. Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde were placed in the Zhenghuang Banner, and Chen Guangfu was placed in the Yellow Banner, which was just their personal entry into the flag, and with this organizational relationship, in fact, it was under the jurisdiction of Huang Taiji, and according to the custom, they would generally walk with the Zhenghuang Banner when fighting. Therefore, Tianyoujun does not belong to the flag in name, but in fact belongs to Huang Taiji personally, and has become another chess piece for him to contain the nobles of the Eight Banners.

Several teams of men and horses advanced and retreated under the command of the banner, and Wuzhen Chaoha also Qi shè bird two rounds. The atmosphere on the exercise ground was solemn, the Jurchen Eight Banners battle formation was as skillful as an arm and a finger, and the two Han armies on both wings looked a little chaotic, but Huang Taiji did not have the slightest anger. If these Han army's combat skills exceed the Eight Banners, then he will really be angry.

Taking advantage of the time to practice, Yue Tuo leaned in front of Huang Taiji and bowed his head and said, "Great Khan." Slaves are guilty. ”

Huang Taiji turned his head to look at Yue Tuo and said, "What is Yue Tuobeile's crime?" ”

"The slave is still the secretary of the military department, and the military order is issued...... This. Except for the two yellow flags and the red flag, none of the other flags responded. The former Great Khan ordered the servants to arrange the expedition to Har. The minions didn't make it. ”

Huang Taiji nodded, and said to Yue Tuo in a low voice: "The six grass creations, each banner is not used to it, so, it is better for me to gather the flags, and you will dispatch people and horses at that time, you have to think carefully in advance." ”

Yue Tuo responded in a low voice, and then retreated, Huang Taiji glanced at the two elder brothers on the left and right, Dai Shan didn't even respond to his son's orders, it seemed that he was determined to fight against the six departments. Huang Taiji sighed in his heart, he still needs to accumulate more prestige, and what he especially needs is to remove any of these two elder brothers, and the remaining one will be difficult to support alone.

He turned the jīng force back to the school field and carefully watched the soldiers and horses practice.

The practice time is not long, after the end of the exercise, the Eight Banners Gushan Ezhen came to the stage in turn, and the Emperor Taiji rewarded Jia Mian one by one, and rewarded some silver taels and jewels and the like, the number is not much, just a meaning, to show their value.

After the Eight Banners Gushan Ezhen retreated to the sides, Huang Taiji gave a few words to Sonny Bakshi beside him, and Sonny quickly stepped down and went to the field to find a few Han Jiān, and after a while, five chess pieces came to the Jiangtai with armor on their heads, and they all knelt down.

Huang Taiji glanced at the five people in front of him, namely Tong Yang, the chief officer of Wuzhen Chaoha, Shi Tingzhu, the deputy general, Kong Youde, the chief soldier, Li Jiucheng, the deputy general, and the last one was Zu Yougui, the guerrilla of the ironclad soldiers. The first two have been taking refuge for a long time, and the last three are newly subdued, especially the people of the ancestral family, Huang Taiji is also heavy, and now he neither kills nor reuses, and gives them some military administration, all of which are vain. The only way to give a generous reward to this ancestor is that this person has single-handedly trained the original team of ironclad family members, and Huang Taiji has collected this person's heart with the capital and used it for his own use.

Sonizan shouted loudly on the side: "The Han officials of the banner of Xiuri (Tong Yang xìng) lead the sergeants, and are good at managing guns, cannons, armor, and ordnance, and they will go out to the Daling River to attack bravely, and reward the officials headed by Xiuri Edon." Reward the horse, the chief military officer, Tong Yang, a delicate carved saddle horse, a hundred taels of silver. Shi Guozhu, the deputy general of Cijia Laezhen, and the deputy general Jin Yuhe, the deputy general Jin Li, the deputy general Gao Hongzhong, the guerrilla Li Yangeng, the general Zhu Shichang, and the Beiyu Tuzhan and other eight members carved a saddle horse. Li Guohan, the deputy general of the defending army, and Sun Degong, the deputy general of the defending army, each rewarded 30 taels of silver. ”

Hearing these familiar names, Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng buried their heads down, revealing the pigtails at the back of their heads. Tong Yang, Shi Tingzhu, and Sun Degong, who Sony shouted just now, were all the people they used to look down on the most, but now they are ministers in the same hall, and they have a somewhat strange feeling in their hearts.

The change in Dengzhou was affected by Chen Xin's variables, Li Jiucheng did not die, Chen Guangfu was not escorted to Beijing Lingchi, they all fled to Houjin, but Wang Zideng changed from life to death and was killed by Geng Zhongming in Pingdu Prefecture. However, Kong Youde's men and horses only had more than 1,000 defeated soldiers left, and the equipment was extremely scarce, far from being comparable to his original history.

Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng were quite troubled by the surroundings after they came, because the two of them had killed a lot of Houjin people in Liaodong. Even if Huang Taiji personally went out of the city five miles when they came to Shenyang, they still felt that they could not compare with this group of old Han Jiān. And the attitude of the Eight Banners towards them also made them have to rely on Huang Taiji, without any choice.

At this time, Sonny shouted again: "Chief Soldier Kong Youde." Adjutant General Li Jiucheng and Staff General Chen Guangfu. Breaking the Ming Kingdom of Shandong, crossing the sea to return to Dajin, if I am like a fish in water, this God gives the army of Dajin Khan, thank you for the blessing of God, and gives the name of God to bless the army. The three generals each gave a gold and silver pot and a silver soup rice can, a jade cup, two carved saddle horses, two bright armors, four dark armors, one carved bow bag, one eagle, and two sable yellow satin. In order to show its merits, rì after a qiē offense, all forgiveness. ”

Kong Youde and the two looked up in surprise, and after a while, they changed into grateful faces and kowtowed again and again to thank them. Huang Taiji's preferential treatment and open-mindedness really made them unexpected, they originally thought that it would be good to survive, but Huang Taiji specially divided the fields and houses for them in Gaizhou, and now they are given extremely high courtesy, which is very different from the discrimination in Dengzhou.

Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng glanced at each other, Kong Youde gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your grace, Weichen has a play." ”

Huang Taiji said in a calm voice: "Mr. Kong, please speak." ”

Kong Youde handed it to Sony from his arms, and Sony opened it and read, "Ministers Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng, and Chen Guangfu played." In order to be inferior and incompetent and unbearable, I prayed that Shengming would bow down to the military service...... The sage Ming Pu Shi was generous, and the chariots and horses were given, and the ministers were exempted from the pain of trekking. As for Tokyo, they were ordered to be placed, and they all occupied the summer house and paid rice salaries all over the place. The officers and soldiers are old and young, and the ministers are so fortunate to be here. It's like a child who has to meet a loving mother...... Ministers and other materials are mediocre, and they pray for another merit ......" (Note 2)

Huang Taiji laughed. Waving his hand to prevent Sony from going any further, he personally went to help Kong Youde and the others, and said in a calm tone: "The two are a number of fierce generals in Phi Dao, and the Ming Army in Shandong is like chopping melons and vegetables. Rest assured that he will be in charge of the original army, and he will not mention the matter of unloading military affairs. ”

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he looked at the surrounding flag owners and Gushan Ezhen, and said lightly: "Kong Li belonged to the original Phi Island generals, and I Dajin killed each other. ”

Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai didn't say anything, they just stared at Kong Li and the others with interest, patting the sweat and asserting that the naked son had to meet a loving mother, and it was the first time they heard it. With the assistance of Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai escaped a catastrophe, and now he is still ranked in the Great Baylor, Dai Shan has this strong reinforcement, so he is naturally unwilling to give up the identity of the Big Baylor, and the two diehards are still firmly dragging Huang Taiji's hind legs.

The other little Baylor and Gushan respectfully received the order. Huang Taiji is equivalent to announcing in public that he is the platform of the two, and Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng are completely tied to his side. And Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng were also eager to kowtow willingly.

In the end, the ancestor was rewarded, and after the five people were rewarded, the little Baylor and Gushan of the Eight Banners all came to congratulate, among which Yue Tuo and Dolgon were the most enthusiastic, the two did not have any fight, and they did not deliberately pull together, which seemed very decent. Yue Tuo and Tong Yang xìng are the most affectionate, the two just got married last month, and they are the first Baylor to marry a Han official, showing Yue Tuo's vision and mind that are different from other Baylors.

Huang Taiji waited for them to finish saluting, and said with a smile: "The five commanders are well-organized, and the military formation can be seen to be rectified, so it is slightly insufficient, and it is also flawed. ”

Kong Youde said loudly: "I can serve the Great Khan for the work of dogs and horses, and the blessing of ministers." ”

Huang Taiji advised: "After the rì, the two of you are stationed in Gaizhou, and you must always be on guard and not be careless. Now Chen Xin has been promoted to the general army, one is stationed in Jinzhou, and Fuzhou is only more than 100 miles apart, this department is a strong army of the Ming State, the last time the entrance of its battalion was still small, but now it has become a problem for my Dajin henchmen. The two of them have fought with Chen Xin many times in Dengzhou, and in the eyes of the two of them, is their art of war all based on the "Actual Record of Military Training"? ”

Li Jiucheng hurriedly said: "There are two kinds of formations of its soldiers, one is the formation of the Qi family army led by the ancestral guerrilla, and the other is only spears and firearms, which are listed as phalanx battles. Its firecracker can be fired without an open flame, and what is even more odious is that kind of small cannon. ”

Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, "You two know Dengzhou Town very well, how do the soldiers of its phalanx compare with my big golden armor soldiers?" ”

Kong Youde hesitated and said, "It's not as good as the big golden armor soldiers, but it's not far behind." ”

Huang Taiji nodded slightly, and said after a while: "Although Chen Xin is hateful, his training is very wonderful, you two Tianyou Army can train according to this method, fire guns and small cannons, I will order someone to try to make them." Before the end of the year, I want to personally review you and other soldiers and horses, and it will be a great achievement to be able to go to the town of Nadengzhou. (To be continued.) )

ps: Note 1: See "Tong Yang xìng Jin Chen Mo Yi Song" cloud: "There are still many Han people in my country...... If it is found out from the public, the troops will be organized as usual, firearms will be dispatched, and they will be acted as a unit, and if there is something to do, they will all take firearms and show off their military prestige. ”
