In the face of the pressure of the kings of the Northeast, the persecution of Yunyu, and the practical problems that the immigrants would face, Emperor Tongzhi finally agreed to the demands of Bo Guoduo and others to exchange military power for Zhuang Ding and grain. So Bo Guoduo and Yan Huang each got fifteen leaders, and the rest of the princes outside the Guanwai together got twenty-five leaders, and the kings outside the Guanwai got a total of more than 8,000 soldiers and horses based on one hundred and fifty people.
As a result, Sunu was appointed by Prince Yunyou, the general consul of Guanwai, to conquer the Mongols, so as to divide the plundered grain, horses, and prisoners equally. Emperor Tongzhi, who had no better choice, quickly agreed, and sent the deputy capital with the white flag to lead fifteen leaders to join the alliance of kings as an investment for the royal family.
However, problems arise one after another, you must know that the total number of Qing troops is only 60,000, including 40,000 old troops and 20,000 new troops, the general Wang Yunyu needs elite troops to resist the future attack of the Xia army, the coalition army of the kings also needs effective troops to attack Mongolia, and Sunu also has to prepare for the battalions of the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade of the Russians, which creates a contradiction.
Everyone wants the best soldiers, and everyone wants to leave the new army that is not yet capable of fighting to others, and quarrels will inevitably arise.
The result was still the most powerful, he patted his ass and threw the burden, and the Qing court, who could not find the second qualified commander of the army among the kings of Jinzhi, had to obediently agree to Yunyu to have the highest priority in selecting subordinates.
It's just that Yun Yu considered that the deal with Bo Guoduo had not yet been completed, and half of the "unplanned" food of 50,000 stone had not yet arrived, so Yun Yu did not take away the old army that could fight.
In fact, Yun Yu, who does not know the specific strength of the Eight Banners outside the Guan, is also a little uneasy about the old army, you must know that he has seen the combat power of the Xia army - the first battle of Linxi, Yun Yu, who was beaten powerless, fully understood the overwhelming artillery fire of the Xia army, and also impressed him with the mainstay of the Xia army.
You must know that the current Qing court can no longer guarantee to overwhelm the Xia army in firearms, and the only dozens of Hongyi cannons in Fengtian City are still old antiques left over from the time of Huang Taiji, and it is useless to even defend the city, let alone field battles, so they can only be dissolved and recast. However, when Yinqi and the others fled Beijing, they did not take with them the first-class craftsmen of the imperial construction office of the Qianqing Palace, so the progress of the recasting work was slow, and it was impossible to provide a minimum number before the Xia army's new round of attack. As for Heilongjiang, although there are still one or twenty Shenwei General Cannons left over from the Battle of Yaksa, the number is still limited, and it is also regarded by Sunu as the last family of the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade, and it will not be handed over to Yunyu's department.
Since the firearms are already a short board, Yun Yu can only hope to overwhelm the opponent in the white soldier battle.
In the early years, the white soldiers in armor of the Eight Banners were very powerful, not only able to ride horses and move quickly into battle, but also to wear double or triple cotton armor to block the opponent's firearms and then hand-to-hand combat, plus Yun Yu had the intention to improve the current Eight Banners outside the Guanwai, so Yun Yu finally decided to select the right officers and soldiers according to the standards of his ancestors.
The so-called ancestral standard is certainly inappropriate now, but it is not impossible to achieve, so Yun Yu decided to continue to fight after wearing a double layer of cotton armor as an indicator, and those who pass are horse armor; Those who can continue to fight after wearing a layer of cotton armor are infantry armor; Those who cannot fight in armor are incorporated into the auxiliary army. The auxiliary army consisted of a part of the birds, and the rest were responsible for logistics and construction, similar to the middle base and baggage troops of the Xia army.
A vest leads five infantry armours to form a battle group; Five combat groups form a leading department; The five urging departments form a regular army leader; Five regular army leaders and three auxiliary army leaders constitute a staff leader, and each staff leader is almost a thousand people; The five staff commanders, together with a number of auxiliary army leaders and artillery assistants, form a deputy capital command department, each of which has about 5,500 people; Yun Yu was able to transfer 40,000 troops, just seven deputy capital headquarters plus a slightly larger than the normal formation of Bayala soldiers (personal guards, escorts) to participate.
Because the individual combat power of the Eight Banners outside the Guanxi is much higher than that of the Eight Banners in the Guannei, Yun Yu was satisfied to see that the number of soldiers who could be used as vests was far more than he expected, and even the new army had savages who could wear three layers of cotton armor, so he finally fine-tuned the preset establishment to ensure that there were two to three people in each combat group, and the longest in the army was the longest.
Yun Yu was merciful, leaving at least one-third of the qualified vests and infantry armor, but the coalition army of the kings on Bo Guoduo's side was not so polite, and picked up all the remaining vests at once, as for the flag soldiers who fled from Beijing, they did not want any of them. In this regard, Sunu fought the basis of reason, and in the end only got a thousand infantry armor and a new army with a good physique as the core of the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade. As a last resort, Sunu had no choice but to organize the remaining 8,000 or so eliminated flag soldiers into bird battalions and artillery battalions, but there were more soldiers and fewer firearms, which gave him and Jilin General Jueluo Yangfu, the two military training ministers, a headache.
There are soldiers, and there are many old soldiers with equipment such as cotton armor and swords, and the arsenal in Fengtian City can be equipped with insufficient numbers, but the military horses ridden by each department are not so easy to match. Of course, there are horses in this part of the Northeast, but most of the horses owned by the tribes are exchanged with the Mongols, and only a few are self-bred. The same was true of the Qing army, of course, whose original possession of military horses had either been bred by the Qing court at the horse farms of Darigangai and Chifeng, or requisitioned from the Mongols. However, now that Mongol has lost most of it, the original horse farm is no longer there, and even buying horses from the Mongols has become difficult, and it has become a big problem to use horses with tens of thousands of troops.
Without horses, you don't necessarily have to let soldiers march with armor on their backs, right? Even if you let the auxiliary army pick it up, in case of an encounter, how can you have time to put it on. Yun Yu found the military department three times and twice for this, but Sunu couldn't solve it at all. Recruiting horses? What are you kidding, there are still any people and horses in Liaodong now, all of them have been requisitioned by the Qing court to transport immigrants to the north.
Speaking of immigrants to the north, this matter has been spread and made chickens and dogs restless. Speaking of which, no one wants to go to the distant three surnames, isn't that the village all treated by the Butha savages, and how can it be suitable for the survival of the Liaodong people.
However, there were only a few Baoyi Aha who dared to venture south to join the Xia army in winter, and there were also a few high-class bannermen who had the financial resources to migrate to larger settlements such as Qiqihar and Jilin Wula, and most of the middle- and lower-class bannermen living around Mukden could only sit and wait for the final verdict of fate, but the chaos caused was powerless for the Qing court to stop.
In the face of the rush to buy cotton clothes and grain in the market, the top level of the Qing court believed that immigration was urgent. For this reason, Prince Yun Yu has already rushed to the vicinity of the three surnames to explore the terrain. Prince Yu Yunyu was also ordered to rush to the north of the Songhua River to recruit people and rush to build settlements along the way to resettle some of the migrants. Therefore, horses, which are important means of transportation for immigrants, have naturally become strategic materials for control, and they cannot be requisitioned and mobilized by Sunu or Yunyu.
"General King, what you want is a horse that can be ridden, so it is not suitable for ordinary people who can only be pack horses and drag horses." Sunu responded. "Besides, now we have to use the requisition of horses and wait for the joint approval of Prince Yu and Prince Yu, and even the emperor's words will not work, but these two are not in Shengjing, and they will not be able to come back for a while." Looking at Yun Yu, who heard half of his sleeves and leave, Sunu showed a sneer on his face, but he still said to himself. "Or, General King, you wait for a few days??????"
"There are horses everywhere, so it's impossible to get horses." Back in the barracks, Yinyu called several deputy capitals over. "I can only adjust internally." Yinyu commanded. "Priority must be given to ensuring the use of horses for the regular army, so all horses are allocated to the regular army, except for the artillery commander, and as for the baggage or something, they are pushed by wheelbarrows."
Hai Duoli, the former deputy commander of the right-wing army, responded distressedly: "General Wang, even this is not enough. ”
Yun Yu replied: "No matter what, we must ensure that every vest has a horse, as for the foot armor, first give a horse to carry the armor, the living cannot be suffocated to urine, there is always a way to solve it in the future." ”
Yu Changjian, the deputy commander of the front wing and rear army, said: "The slave thinks that if you can bring a horse to join when recruiting, you can give the treatment of a regular soldier, and if the assessment is not bad, you will be given priority to serve as a vest." ”
Yun Yu was still pondering the feasibility of this matter, but the deputy commander of the rear wing, the former deputy commander of the army, said in denial: "Even if the imperial court recruits soldiers and horses under this condition, this person and this horse will not fall into our hands at that time, and the kings and the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade are not all eyeing each other, unless we have the right to recruit our own troops." ”
Yun Yu's mind moved, and he was about to speak, and he came back from Datong all the way, and now he was appointed as the deputy commander of the Baya La soldiers, the former Datong Town Chief Soldier Dong Jia suddenly put forward an idea: "The slave thinks that if you want to get enough horses, the best way is to rob them, and rob them from the Mongols. ”
The deputy commander of the right-wing rear army, Tong Shirong, felt that robbing his own people's business would cause internal contradictions, so he objected: "I'm afraid that Prince He and Prince Zhuang will feel that the general Wang has crossed the line??????
Before Shirong's words were finished, Yun Yu interrupted: "As long as the problem of horses can be solved, it is better to cross the line occasionally." ”
Jin Bao, the deputy commander of the front wing and the former army, counted the time and said with annoyance: "It's just that it's almost February now, and I'm afraid it's too late to return before April after a trip from Mukden." ”
"You don't have to go in a big group." Yun Yu has already thought about it. "Just go to a deputy capital headquarters." Yun Yu ordered. "Each department will get out of the horses first, and all of them will be allocated to this deputy capital commandery, one person and two horses, go and return quickly."
Suo Zhu, the deputy commander of the rear wing of the rear army, further said: "If you don't want to use a deputy capital to go to North Korea to grab a handful, as long as you avoid the North Korean army's point on the Yiju line, you still have a good chance of success??????"
