Brother Jiu bowed down and said: "Khan Ama, Erchen suggests that a big contest be held with the officers and soldiers stationed in various places as units, once a year in different regions, and once every three years, a national contest should be held. ”

"As the reserve of the Eight Banners Garrison, the National Military Service selects the best part of them to join the garrison in the regional competition held every year, and at the same time eliminates the old and infirm in some of the garrisons, so as to maintain the strength of the Eight Banners garrison at any time. The national military contest held every three years serves as a reference index for the promotion of senior generals, raising their attention to military service for the whole people. ”

"Here, a rule can be drawn up, in the army, each rank should set a maximum age line, beyond this age has not been promoted, should be eliminated from the garrison ranks, only in this way, can the combat effectiveness of the army be guaranteed."

These methods were all heard by Brother Jiu from Fusuni, and they were completely copies of the conscripts and volunteers of later generations.

The fifth elder brother stood up and said, "Khan Ama, Erchen thinks that the ninth brother is more thoughtful and has a strong feasibility. ”

The fifth elder brother never thought that his younger brother not only had potential in civil governance, but also could speak the way in the army, and with such a great opportunity with a long face, he naturally wanted to stand up and support his own brother.

From Kangxi's eyes, it is natural to see that the method mentioned by Brother Jiu can improve the existing shortcomings to a large extent. Especially Brother Jiu is good at observation and can think about what he thinks, which makes Kangxi very satisfied.

The eighth elder brother's eyes were lowered, he couldn't figure it out, how could the ninth brother seem to have changed in the past year or two? Before that, he would never have paid attention to these things, would not have thought about them, and would not have thought of such a way to solve the problem.

Now that the ninth brother's demeanor has completely overshadowed him, is it still possible for him to get the support of the ninth brother?

The ninth brother with such ability, can he not have thoughts about that position?

For the first time, the eighth elder brother felt that he had thought too simply before.

The eighth elder brother pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Erchen also thinks that the idea of the ninth brother can be tried, and Erchen suggests that it be tried in the capital or Zhili Province first, and if there are any problems, it is easy to find and solve them in time." ”

Kangxi nodded: "The eighth is a good idea. Well, Lao Jiu, you can talk about the third and fourth points. ”

Brother Jiu said: "The third point is the rotation of the garrison area. Erchen suggested that the whole country be divided into several regions, with the regions as units, and the officers and men stationed in various localities within the regions should be rotated once a year. ”

"Fighting on the battlefield with real swords and guns is the only way to truly enhance the combat effectiveness of the army. At present, the situation in the Qing Dynasty is that the combat effectiveness of the officers and men stationed in the frontier is stronger than that of the officers and men stationed in the interior, so we can completely allow the officers and men stationed in the interior and the officers and men stationed in the frontier to rotate in proportion, so that every child of the Eight Banners will have a period of experience in fighting in the frontier during his career in joining the army. ”

"After more than ten years like this, the combat effectiveness of the children of the Eight Banners will definitely be greatly improved, far surpassing that of the Green Battalion! And in the long run, the blood of the children of the Eight Banners will be full of blood again! ”

"Good! That's a great point to say! ”

Kangxi's vision has to be said to be excellent, and Brother Jiu's remarks made him see the feasibility of implementation and the possibility of solving the problem.

He immediately said: "I have drafted the decree and ordered the ministers to stay in Beijing to discuss the method of trying out the national military service of the banner people in Zhili Province, and when I return to Beijing, I need to see the initial plan." ”
