Chapter 481: New Barracks
The third prince? Li Xiao smiled bitterly and looked at Hankou Bai from Jiangbei: Qilong has been listed as the most wanted criminal in the Ming Dynasty, and the single crime of assassinating the emperor plus his sensitive identity, regardless of whether he is related to Emperor Chongzhen or not, has been inseparable from Nanming, and there is no longer any possibility of getting back together, but this Yang Qilong contacted Li Laiheng, and also occupied Hankou, Hankou and Wuchang are across the river, not far apart, for Li Xiao, who guards Wuchang, is very sensitive, and it is enough for him to have a headache.
"My lord, although Li Laiheng cooperated with Yang Qilong, what the last general saw in Hankou City was that the various city walls and important streets and alleys where the Kuidong Army and Zhong Sanlangxiang Club were stationed were all winding and distinct, and it seemed that there was still some mustard, plus the last general had contact with several leaders of the Kuidong Army, many people didn't seem to have much of a good impression of Yang Qilong." Liu Cheng analyzed everything he saw in Hankow.
"Well, Jiangbei, you can't go back, it's not good to go back, just stay in Wuchang for the time being, I'll say hello to the Qianhu officials of the Thousand Households, and first temporarily call you to the temporary Migration Registration Division for a period of time, now the emperor has ordered the migration population to South India, the number is set at 500,000, and the Hubei Political Secretary can't find any extra manpower, anyway, you are idle these days, this governor is the master, tomorrow you go to the Yamen of the Political Secretary to report."
Li Xiao said that the matter of migrating population was a headache, and the imperial court issued a decree, Hubei only accounted for half of the states and counties south of the Yangtze River, therefore, the three divisions of the yamen were only created in a grass, and the number of officials was the size of a small province, and Hubei was different from Jiangnan, after all, it was a central province where commerce and trade were naturally not as developed as Jiangnan, therefore, Jiangnan had a large population, but few were willing to go to South India, who was not bad who was willing to leave their homeland? On the contrary, the population of some central and southwestern provinces is more willing to go there to open up wasteland, after all, each person can be divided into at least 300 acres of land, if a large family goes, there is a few hectares of land in the south of the Yangtze River, then it is considered a big landowner, although the early stage of the wasteland is naturally hard, but after these years, this day will naturally be nourished, therefore, there are not many people who sign up in Jiangnan, but then Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi and other provinces have some people who live a difficult life enthusiastically sign up, Among these provinces, Hubei is a big province except for Hubei, and the poor one in the three divisions and yamen is Hubei, and the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction are not more than half of these provinces, and the manpower is not complete, and there are so many people who have registered for registration, they can't be busy at all, and in desperation, the political envoy of Beibu has no choice but to pester Li Xiao, so that Li Xiao has to squeeze out some manpower to deal with the emergency, Li Xiao is also in difficulty, the court has long had a rule that the military cannot interfere in local government affairs, Localities are also unable to participate in the management of the military, and the people who have been sent over to the past have made it clear that those officials who have heard about the situation will be caught? Now this Liu Cheng has hit the muzzle, anyway, this guy does not belong to the Wuchang Legion, and now he is also an idle person, and there is no messenger for the time being when he arrives in Wuchang, so why not call them for the time being.
"Yes." Where did Liu Cheng know the young governor's thoughts, and he accepted it, so he saluted and took his leave.
After all, although Li Laiheng and Yang Qilong are now hostile to the Ming Dynasty, they belong to the anti-Qing system, and the Wuchang Military Region still needs the emperor's ruling on whether this new combination is an enemy or a friend.

Mi County, Henan, a large army wearing bright uniforms meandered and interspersed between the mountains, advancing to the southwest, this group of Qing troops is very different from the traditional Qing army, the head is still wearing a black round hat, a new word is written in the middle of the uniform, gray breeches underneath, holding a polished bright fire gun in his hand, and a black pouch hanging from his waist, this military horse looks energetic, does not need to be urged by the commander, and it is also very fast to catch up.
Qi Buchen sat on a high-headed horse, freehand enjoying the scenery along the road, slowly moving in the middle of the team, the mountain road here is not rugged, and after walking for half an hour, you can connect to the official road and arrive at the county seat of Mi County. As the commander of the new military camp, Qi Butan's outfit is different from other systems, he is wearing leather armor inside, a yellow vest outside, a red coral bead top on the brim hat on his head, and a pair of dazzling eyes on the back, these are all rewarded by the emperor, where can ordinary commanders have this opportunity.
Qi Butan's family background is mediocre, and he is not even a bullshit in the city of Beijing, which is full of nobles, but he is a man born in a poor family who is very proficient in firearms and artillery, and he also made some military exploits when he was young, and he was in Duoduo's army
Artillery standard battalion thousands. Since then, he has been idle at home. Just the year before that. The emperor remembered himself. After being summoned in person. All of a sudden, he was rewarded with the rank of commander of the new military camp. From a small age, he has been promoted several levels from a fourth-rank military attaché. Suddenly. became a veritable general from a product. Put it in the Qing Dynasty. Who could have such an encounter? Actually, that's not all. What's even more surprising is. After Detective Qi Bu was ordered to form a new army. Kangxi often went to the camp to patrol the fortifications. Gifts are given every now and then. Over the years. I'm afraid that even Prince Belle doesn't have such a big ground.
In fact, Kangxi is not an idiot. It is necessary to form a new barracks. It is necessary to pick out all of these capable people. But now the land is full of people, or it is just walking dogs and teasing birds. Or maybe it's just a barbarian who can only bend his bow and shoot the eagle. Find a place where you know how to firearms. It's really hard to do. The Han army flag knows a lot about firearms. It's just that now Kangxi is saying that Manchu and Han are one. But in terms of candidates for such an important position. How dare you hand it over to a Han person?
The emperor wants a man who knows how to use firearms. This is difficult to break the Yamen of the Eight Banners in Beijing. Check it out. I really found one. Naturally, it was this white flag that was being deployed to investigate. Qi Bu explored the earth's ancestor's reputation was not obvious. But this is the identity of the full people. And then there's the one thing about being proficient in firearms. It's enough for the Eight Banners to command the Yamen and the local officials. Kangxi looked at Qi Bu's qualifications for exploring. Although some are not very satisfied. But it's still up to this person. He was frightened by the nobles. These people are not enough to accomplish and more than to fail. Study with them, study and visit the kiln, they can talk and foam. But let them take charge of the army. It's embarrassing.
That's it. Qi Bu Tan soared into the sky. Thirty thousand men were selected from the battalions. The latest Dutch ground fire cymbals and artillery guns were distributed. He took office in high spirits. Begin training the new army. Qi Bu's training of soldiers is more or less the same as that of Nanmingdi. In short, it's one word - practice. There are many kinds of training. Normally, the camp can be lit for seven or eight days a month. It's been hard work since I practiced for half a morning. And the new military camp of Qibu Exploration is the opposite. Wake up at the appointed hour every day and have an early morning exercise. I practiced until the afternoon. Only then was it disbanded. Kangxi patrolled the camp once on a whim. I saw that the soldiers were neat and their morale was like a rainbow. Immediately, he valued Qi Bu Tan for a few points. Naturally, it is a reward of grace. I often come back to have a look. Only in the new barracks. Kangxi was able to find some confidence more or less. All in all. Zibu probe made a fortune. And the new military camp in other places has also become the first elite of the Manchurian and Mongolian battalions. Now. The Liukou occupied Hankow. Soldiers are coming to Hanyang. Attack the prefectures and counties of Hubei in all directions. It was also the first time in two years that the new military camp and Qi Butan had trained the troops to establish a prestige.
"Brethren. Go a little faster. Arrived in Miyun County. Brothers, I can't comfort you. "Qi Bu's background is not expensive. It's a bit of a good thing. After all, it came out of the bottom. Getting along with people is also full of ruffian habits. This kind of temper may be looked down upon in officialdom. But for these big-headed soldiers. But it's very useful. So he just spoke. Immediately, many people laughed and agreed. The speed of the march also increased considerably.
Half an hour passed. The county seat of Mi County has raised its head in sight. The local county magistrate and county magistrate have already received the report. Waiting for a long time. Hundreds of melons, fruits, and wines are parked outside the city. Just waiting to reward the new army.
Qi Bu detective with a few horses on horseback, Le Ma sped up, rushed to the city gate first, looked at the rewarded vehicle with satisfaction, felt quite satisfied, grabbed the horse's sideburns, stepped on the stirrup and got off the horse, the county order has brought the local officials and gentry to greet him: "In order to keep a corner of the peace, exterminate the people and bandits, the labor division is really hard, the lower officials prepared a banquet and melons, fruits, and wine, and talked about a piece of my Mi County's heart, not a respect, and hope that the general Haihan." ”
Qi Bu probed his jaw and nodded, and whipped the dust on his breeches with a horsewhip: "Don't worry, if you suppress the bandits, you will also be credited with the labor of the county order, don't drag anything with the master, the master has been on the road for a long time, and now he hasn't entered a little water and rice, where is the banquet, you lead the way." ”
It was the first time for the county commander to come into contact with these Manchurian soldiers, and seeing his impatient look, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the lower official will welcome the general into the city, and the rest of the soldiers, the lower officials and some squires have also prepared drinks under the wall, and they always want to make the guests and hosts happy, general, please." ”
The county magistrate and the officials and squires of the county gave way one after another, and without saying a word, Qi Butan turned over and took his own soldiers into the doorway.
