Chapter 136 - Supporting roles are indispensable

Seeing the incomparable excitement in his youngest son's eyes, Fu Lin was very complacent, and then said:

"And I heard that in the Battle of Humar, a Rakshasa cannon was captured, and its cannon pellet was much larger than that of the Shenwei General's cannon, weighing seven and a half catties[1]! So I also ordered the military battle bureau to be imitated in the same way. A few days ago, they just played back, Tang Lao Marfa was very painstaking, within a month, he had already rushed to produce five Shenwei General cannons, and according to the Rakshasa foreign cannons, two imitations, more than 300 cannon pellets. Coupled with the red-coated cannons stored in Gyeonggi, the number of large and small artillery pieces that can be mobilized with the army is no less than 100, which is worth using! Between the words, the emperor Bixia is as sure as he is sure!

A hundred cannons, in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty monarchs and ministers at that time, were a sharp weapon for siege battles! After the battle of Songjin in the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of the artillery outside the Ming army fell into the hands of the Qing army, and only Wu Sangui stationed in Ningyuan still had more than ten Hongyi cannons. At this time, the Qing army in Jinzhou already had nearly 100 Hongyi cannons. The Qing people once threatened: "If you put a hundred cannons as a faction, how can any city with it be worthy of three or four days of fierce attack?" John Tang, a famous Western missionary and munitions expert who was serving the Ming Dynasty at that time, once exclaimed: "The man of the Qing Dynasty (referring to the Qing army) is strong and strong, and he has already outperformed me." And lately, firearms have been comparable to mine, and I have all the miraculous skills of mine. "At present, firearms are expensive in the West, and the enemy not only exists, but now they are widespread." It can be seen that at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army had a full understanding of the history of artillery.

"So congratulations to Huang Ama on his victory!" Hongyi looked at Fulin's swagger and continued to tout!

"Hmm. Indeed, you can use troops quickly! Fu Lin was unconsciously boosted by morale, and instead agreed with his previous negative assertion.

"Emperor Amma, as long as the marriage of the Alba people under the jurisdiction of his sons is completed, they will definitely be able to follow them willingly and eagerly!" Hongyi reminded. There are high mountains, dense forests, and water networks are intertwined, and if you don't find some Rakshasa troops who surrendered as a precursor, where do you go to find the fortress of the Rakshasas?

"Good! Then this matter really needs to be done quickly! ”

"Amma, besides, Bekotov, the so-called 'coat collar' from the fourth grade, can you let him hang a 'collar'? After all, the march and the battle, this well-deserved title also came more smoothly. "Hongyi did not forget to add officials to his own people at the critical moment.

“haha。 Even if you don't say it. Naturally, this matter is also in my plan! Don't look at him as a Rakshasa general, but as long as he is obedient and faithful, how can I treat him slowly? What Fulin said was impassioned, and Hongyi was deeply moved when he heard it!

"Good! Xuan Ye listened! ”

"Erchen is here!"

"I have already named you the 'Rakshasa Team Naturalized Clan Band'. Today it was changed to 'Southern Return to the Alba Pipe Belt'. There is no grade, only real responsibility. After consulting with the six ministries, the Royal Servant Bureau has full authority over the naturalization of the people who return to the south, weddings and funerals, priests, real estate, farmland, ranks, salaries, and many other miscellaneous matters. When the Queen Mother's decree is issued today, it will be handled immediately! ”

"Son's command, thanks!"

Hongyi kowtowed. While muttering in his heart: Okay, I did this job for the Kangxi Emperor in the official history thirty years in advance! It was not until 1685 that the Chinese army captured the Albazin fortress (Yaksa) on the Amur River and 45 prisoners were escorted to Beijing, and they did not do it themselves! But don't be afraid, let's set up a bureau of imperial servants for ourselves, first!

After Hongyi got up from the ground, he was still proud, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to say. This was seen by the emotionally charged emperor, so he took the initiative to speak:

"Xuan Ye, you still don't know anything, just ask me. I, the emperor, will explain them to you one by one, and let you learn how to govern the country and arrange troops! ”

Well, I don't understand it! Hongyi laughed at himself in his heart, and said:

"What the sons have learned today is better than the years of the past. The sons are grateful for the love of the emperor! However, Erchen, there is indeed something that I don't understand very well, and I don't dare to speculate. ”

"Oh? Huh, where? Let's talk about it. ”

"The son obeys the order, it is the Stepanov who is imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, how should the emperor deal with it?"

"Who? Swift ...... Panov? Fu Lin was confused, and he was really unimpressed.

"It's the Rakshasa leader who was captured in the Battle of Humar, and Stepanov who was captured at the noon gate."

"Oh, it's the Rakshasa bandit leader who was reprimanded by you outside the noon gate that day! Haha, I forgot to tell you if you didn't say anything. This bandit leader, he doesn't know etiquette and righteousness, he doesn't know the power of heaven, he indulges in evil and invades the Heavenly Empire, so naturally he can't be spared! Fu Lin finally remembered, and the more he spoke, the more energetic he became, but he didn't notice that Hongyi's little brow was furrowing more and more.

"I have approved the performance of the Criminal Department, and after the trial of the three law divisions, I will ask and behead him after the autumn according to the law, and just use his dog head to sacrifice my Qing Dynasty's military flag!" Fu Lin has some good intentions, and is ready to take a good breath for his son and boost the ambition of this little "pipe band".

"Erchen asks the emperor to think twice!" Unexpectedly, this kid didn't appreciate it, but knelt down again!

"Xuan Ye, why are you pleading for a Rakshasa bandit leader?" Fu Lin was a little displeased, although it was not a trivial matter for this person to fall to the ground, but in the eyes of the royal family, it was indeed easy to take his fingers! But just such a trivial matter like shooting an ant to death, why is it so hard for him Xuan Ye here! Not long ago, there was that grandson, and now there is another Stepanov! A dog minion, a rakshasa ghost, can you do it?

"Erchen is not interceding for him, but for the sake of the Qing Dynasty......"

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's a small matter to kill a Stepanov, but the Alba people are about to take a wife, and then they will go on a campaign. Killing them at this time, the sons were afraid of throwing a rat and a bogey, which shook their military hearts. After all, they are all people who have come to Rakshasa from afar, and it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad...... Why don't you make a useful exchange for this useless Stepanov in the future. "Hongyi is a fool.

"Swap?"

"Huang Ama, the blood feud outside the gate, the blood of my subjects of the Qing Dynasty, can't just kill him a Stepanov, and a few main masters are at ease in that Rakshasa country! And when it comes to crimes, they are hateful and hateful, and those who have returned to the Rakshasa Kingdom are even more hateful. The retainers heard that Bekotov said that there was a man named Khabarov, after returning to the Rakshasa King City, it was actually because he burned, killed and looted in my Great Qing Dynasty, and took the Longxing Land of my Great Qing Dynasty to 'open up the territory' to the lord of the Rakshasa country, but instead gave him the title of "military noble" and "son of nobleman", isn't it extremely hateful! With the memory of later generations, Hongyi continued to stimulate Fulin.

"Military nobles?" Fulin did not make a rash statement.

"Emperor Amma, Bekotov said that this 'military noble[2]' is actually our Ada Haha [Light Car Captain] and the like."

"There is such a thing! Outrageous! Is it tolerable or unbearable?! "The young emperor, who has just been aroused with pride, will naturally not admit it at this moment.

"The son's retainers asked the emperor to keep people under the sword, not to beg him, but to exchange the life of this Stepanov dog for those criminals after our army has cleared the pass! Even if the bandit leader doesn't dare to come and apologize, it's not too late to bring him to justice! ”

"Well, that's right! When the time comes, I will make an edict, and let that little first-class duke, carrying the Bakharov and other bandit leaders you mentioned, come to Beijing to confess his guilt! In that case, you should go and discuss a solution with Shang Shutuhai of the Criminal Department! Remember, while the death penalty is forbidden, the living sin is inescapable! Fulin finally agreed.

"Son's Command!" Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief - finally a lot of hard work led to the next major play of the main supporting roles!

[2] The "military service aristocracy" was the predecessor of the so-called "service aristocracy" in Tsarist Russia. The military service aristocracy originated in the 15th century in the Moscow royal court, and it was based on the landed aristocracy, who received fiefs (called votchina) from the Grand Duke, who in turn granted small plots of land (called pomestie) to their retinues, and in return, both had to follow the Grand Duke on military service in time of war. This system is very similar to the feudal system of the Middle Ages, but the difference is that it is actually more stringent, and the pomestie land can only be enjoyed by the nobles and gentry in time of war, and once the war is over, the land can be recovered at any time, and even awarded to a new military nobleman. During the period of Peter the Great, on this basis, it developed into the so-called "service aristocracy" system, and the "Official Rank Table" of Tsarist Russia composed the service personnel into a unified social hierarchy of aristocratic ranks, and all members of society could obtain the title of nobility by being an official, and were promoted to official positions according to their education level and term of service, and were rewarded with badges and titles. The "Official Rank Table" replaced the medieval principle of the family, broke the closed nature of the aristocratic hierarchy, and enhanced the vitality and flexibility of the Russian monarchy. In the late 18th century, Catherine II further refined the principles of the Official Rank List, and the Bureau of Nobility regulated the service of noble officials through regular registration, appraisals, resumes, rosters, and censuses. The principles of length of service, merit and educational attainment have been re-emphasized. Particular emphasis is placed on the principle of merit and the survival of the fittest. and to extend the principle of appointment in the "Official Rank List" to other administrative departments of the state. It can be seen that the principle of appointment in the "Official Rank List" organically integrated the feudal aristocratic hierarchy and the bureaucratic hierarchy in Russia, and the principle of the service aristocracy in Russia was more thoroughly implemented than in Prussia. The social origin of the title of nobility and the origin of the name came from the court, and the individual nobles who owned land and peasants were more grateful to the tsarist regime than any other state. The peasants of Tsarist Russia have always been social aliens who oppose the government, the aristocracy has never made waves, and professional, permanent, and non-autonomous military service is still the main value orientation of the aristocracy. The titles of Russian nobility were, in order: duke, marquis, earl, viscount, baron. (To be continued......)
