Chapter 72: Joining the Army (3)

Fei Shen Ling bowed down and replied: "Command under the mark." Read the book//" After speaking, he slapped a thousand at Yinzhen neatly, and said: "The slave will lead the fourth master to take a look, and then go to the firearms battalion to reorganize the army together, how about it?"

Yin Zhen hurriedly returned the salute and said, "That's very good." ”

The two said goodbye to Fei Junmen, Yinzhen followed out of the tent, just didn't take a few steps, he saw Fei Shen Ling turn around, and actually bowed down to him and gave him a big salute, Yinzhen was somewhat surprised, Fei Yanggu explained: "Just now in front of the military gate, the slave should follow the court system, but the slave is the internal affairs of the Zhenghuang under the government, you are the young master of the slave authentic, and the family ceremony must not be abolished." ”

Yin Zhen was quite happy in his heart, at least he had an experienced person in the army who could guide him, and he didn't want to make any jokes.

With Fei Yanggu's self-introduction, Yin Zhen learned that Fei Yanggu originally belonged to the Zhenglan Banner, but a blue feather guard, in the pseudo-Zhu three princelings made a fuss in the palace change, he was promoted by Kangxi because of his heroic escort to become a second-class shrimp, and then carried to the Zhenghuang Banner, in recent years, it has been promoted continuously, by the general of the guard battalion, and the deputy commander of the infantry army, and then the leader of the firearms battalion, but at the age of thirty-five or sixteen, he has already achieved the second rank of the deputy general. Yinzhen speculated that Feiyangu had Kangxi's favor, and if he could make some more military achievements in this crusade against Geerdan, he would be promoted to the minister of the first rank just around the corner.

In order to enhance the strength of the Gyeonggi Gongwei Army, Kangxi specially set up a new firearms battalion a month ago, with a part of the Eight Banners Army transferred from various places to Beijing as the main personnel, and Fei Yanggu as the leader, and at the same time, a group of personnel were transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to specialize in shotguns, and also practiced horse foot shooting and other skills. Reading the book// Because once the Huoqi Battalion is formed, the strength of attack and defense is the first of the other banner battalions of the Eight Banners or the Gongwei battalions of the Beijing Division, Kangxi is naturally extremely concerned. Not only was 2,516 pangut shotguns allocated to equip the fire flag battalion, but it was also quite brainstorming in the arrangement of generals and soldiers. Although Feiyangu said that it was the "elite of the Eight Banners", according to Yinzhen's belly, it was the child soldier of "Root and Miao Hong".

The pangut shotgun is actually a gun with a boring line (that is, a compound line) in the barrel, Yinzhen had seen one in Prince Yu's mansion, the firing range is 100 steps away, but the accuracy is still good, this kind of gun is very powerful compared to the bird gun used in the general Eight Banners Battalion (can only shoot about 30 steps, and the accuracy is very poor), so Kangxi who has seen the power of this gun even metaphor, the manufacture of the Pangut shotgun is not managed by the Ministry of Industry, nor by the management of the Ministry of War, but together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs Du Yu Division is responsible, is afraid that this sharp weapon will spread around, and he also ordered that the Pangu shotgun can only be used as a special configuration for the fire flag battalion, other flag battalions, and Mengbaqi, Han Eight Banners, Green Battalion shall not be manufactured and equipped.

Through Feiyangu's explanation, Yinzhen's interest in the firearms camp became more and more intense, but this also made him secretly guess what was the real reason for Dai Zi's conviction. He learned from Gu Badai that there was a precedent for Nan Huairen, who framed Dai Zi, to frame his opponent: in the eighth year of Kangxi, Yang Guangxian, the deputy of Qintianjian (who was Nan Huairen's deputy at the time, was the deputy of Qintianjian Zheng) opposed Nan Huairen and the Western calendar, and the two had a heated debate on the Chinese and Western calendars before Kangxi, and later the Western method was more accurate, so Kangxi still stood on Nan Huairen's side, but he didn't want Nan Huairen to be a person and his small belly, so he hated Yang Guangxian to the bone; after Kangxi detained Aobai, Nan Huairen falsely accused the emperor that Yang Guangxian was a dead party and wanted to put him to death and then quickly; but Kangxi did not adopt this statement, but did not understand the astronomical calendar, the stubborn nerd Yang Guang drove home first, and was not sentenced.

But why did the shrewd Kangxi give Dai Zi such a heavy hand? With Kangxi's attitude towards the pangut shotgun, Yinzhen came to a terrible conclusion. This is an unjust case that Kangxi deliberately created. The reason is that if Dai Zi is indeed a foreign country, according to Kangxi's temperament, he will definitely die, not just exile. If he is not executed, it means that Kangxi knows that he has no access to Japan. Kangxi is not confused, and he is not an emotional person, before Yinzhen just thought that Kangxi didn't want to refute the face of Nan Huairen and other old ministers, but later, looking at Kangxi's courage to break the power structure of the study, this matter was not as simple as he originally imagined.

Since Kangxi knew that Dai Zi had been wronged, why did he still deal with Dai Zi in this way? The reason was that for Manchuria, this person was a terrible potential danger. Since the weapons he made could easily defeat the Mongol cavalry, it would not be difficult to defeat the Manchurian cavalry, which was indeed the foundation of the Qing dynasty. Manchuria, which had less than one million people at the time, was like a little pepper in the ocean for the Han people with a population of 30,000, although Dai Zi was already regarded as an official in the court, his personality was very stubborn, as can be seen from his courage to argue with Nan Huairen, so Kangxi really couldn't afford to take this risk, so he simply suppressed Dai Zi in exchange for the stable rule of Manchuria, which was still cost-effective for Kangxi.

In the end, Kangxi pardoned Dai Zi because of Yinzhen, which was nothing more than because Yinzhen was Dai Zi's life-saving benefactor, and he would be gracious to let him enter the flag in the future, and he would not hesitate to solve the problem from the root. Thinking of this, Yin Zhen shivered for no reason.

Fei Yanggu also said that Yinzhen was unwell, and hurriedly said: "Fourth master, do you want to go back to the tent to rest first, and then go to the firearms camp later?"

Yin Zhen reluctantly retracted his thoughts and said: "It's just a little distracted, Fei Junmen is really a famous general, the military discipline in the camp is strict, and everyone in the military camp of Nuoda has their own position and their duties, and there is not even a trace of idle voice." ”

Fei Yanggu said: "Exactly, the minions have also grown a lot of skills with the Fei Junmen, and the rewards and punishments for the Fei Junmen are clear, and the minions are all admired." Now that the soldiers of this firearms battalion have just been transferred, the slave will accompany the fourth master to take a look. ”

The firearms battalion is stationed in the east of the Ruijian battalion, the two battalions are about half a mile apart, the firearms battalion is full of 3,600 people, one minister of palm seals, one staff leader, 8 deputy shotgun guards and 16 officers, and a number of junior military assistants, among them, more than 1,000 elite people are selected from other forward battalions, guard battalions, infantry battalions, Ruijian battalions, internal affairs offices, and Changchun garden guard battalions, and the rest are filled by flag bearers from the election of the internal affairs government. Most of the officials in the battalion have some backgrounds, and there are not a few children of relatives and nobles in the DPRK and China, and whoever is replaced as the commander will have to scratch their heads. At the beginning, Kangxi chose Fei Yanggu (Junmen) as the minister of the palm seal, because he had to rely on his experience and his status to forge a new army. According to Lao Fei's qualifications and background, it may be a bit difficult to lead this firearms battalion, but with the fourth elder brother, the officers in the battalion are more valuable than the fourth elder brother? With the fourth elder brother, it is like having an extra Shang Fang sword in life, and the soldiers transferred to the Debu military camp turned out to be Lao Fei's subordinates, and there was another guarantee.
