Chapter 746: The Last Breath of the Eight Banners

The great general Wang Rili had a lot of opportunities, and the expedition was imminent, so he did not have time to personally go to the soldiers with his own lessons and do the ideological mobilization work of Laoshizi.

Therefore, fully delegate power to the people below and let them play freely.

Since ancient times, ideological work has been nothing more than two methods, one is patient guidance, and the other is stick teaching.

Patient guidance works best in the long run.

In the short term, stick teaching is superior.

However, the general Wang also noticed that a large number of clay sculptures of himself appeared in the battalion, saying that it was the intention of Deputy Director Ding, which was used to strengthen the patriotic ideological education of the children of the Eight Banners, including the clan.

In this regard, Jia Liu disagrees in principle, and he has always emphasized that he should not be too prominent, that is, he is not allowed to engage in his personality cult.

"Recently, someone said that this king is a hero of the Qing Dynasty, this statement is problematic, is it possible that in addition to this king, we have no heroes in the Qing Dynasty?"

"Also, if you put the statue of this king side by side with the Taizu Taizong, will this stimulate some people? So that after the king went on the expedition, he entered the slander of the king in the emperor's place? And then what are the twelve gold medals to call this king back? ”

“......”

Jia Liu has too many concerns.

"Today, who can be called a hero!"

"Count the romantic characters, and look at the prince!"

"If the emperor really wants to get twelve gold medals, I will protect the prince and enter the Forbidden City!"

"The country takes turns to do it, so it's the prince's turn!"

"Without the prince, there would be no wait for me today, if the prince really refuses to go further, then I have to put the prince on the shelf!"

“......”

Under the repeated persuasion of everyone's sincerity, and in the face of the reality that he was indeed the only hero of the Qing Dynasty, after thinking about it again, Jia Liu finally obeyed the will of the people and let them go.

Just emphasize not to go too far, and not to belittle the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty just because of exalting him.

Because he has not yet found any legal basis for his possible surname Zhu.

Therefore, in the short term, Aixin Jueluo's skin still has to be worn.

As for the accusation of not believing in his words and accepting money and not doing personnel, the prince himself did not know.

It was all the people below who misinterpreted the king's will.

Besides, the money collected was not taken by the prince himself, but was all subsidized for this expedition.

Not to mention anything else, the Eight Banners soldiers' opening silver must always be given.

Although it is not much, only five taels per person, but so many people come down, hundreds of thousands of taels are always wanted.

The court didn't give this money, and the general king couldn't pay for it himself, so he had to raise it himself.

At the same time, the prince himself resolutely did not allow the spread of anti-war and war-weariness, and repeatedly emphasized in public that this expedition was related to the survival of the Qing Dynasty, and whether it was a child of the clan or a child of the Eight Banners, everyone must strive to be Yue Wumu.

Whoever dares to oppose war and be war-weary, war-fearing and cowardly, is the sinner of the Qing Dynasty!

The Internal Affairs Committee is in the process of perfecting the military discipline regulations on the battlefield, and the children of the clan who oppose the war and fear the war will be expelled from the clan and sent to Sichuan for hard labor or shot on the spot.

In order to express his determination to stand with the thieves, Jia Liu even wrote the four big characters of "Jing Loyal to the Country", and ordered people to use a long banner to place it on the side of his Zhenghuang Daxu.

No matter where he goes, Zhenghuang Daxu will go, and at the same time, the long banner of "serving the country with loyalty" will also follow.

It's not that "the more you don't have it, the more you need to emphasize", but that's what you really think and do.

Over the years, although the imperial court has repeatedly decreed to lower Yue Wumu's status in the eyes of the world, and even changed the martial saint to Guan Erye, in the eyes of the children of the Eight Banners, there is really no one who can afford to be a first-class hero in the world except for Grandpa Yue Wumu.

At the political level, Yue Zhongqi, the descendant of Yue Wumu, experienced the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties, and made outstanding military achievements in his life. ”

"In the end of the Qing Dynasty, the ministers of the Han Dynasty worshiped the generals, the Manchurian soldiers were under control, and Zhong Qi was alone."

In this way, the behavior of the great general Wang who took Wu Mu as an example and inspired the soldiers with "loyalty to the country" will naturally not be doubted.

With the settlement of military spending, it is conservatively estimated that no less than two million taels of military spending can be collected through the negotiation of guilt silver, which is enough for the army to walk from the Lugou Bridge to the Yangtze River.

Whether to fight or not, it depends on whether the court will issue a check in the future.

On this point, Jia Liu and his subordinates are very consistent.

Preparations are underway for the military rations.

Compared with military spending, military rations are relatively easy.

As early as the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court set up a systematic and complete grain reserve system in Beijing, provinces, prefectures and counties, and the Eight Banners garrison areas, including the Jingtong warehouse, the official warehouses in various localities, the Changping warehouses, and the warehouses in the soldiers' garrison areas, so as to ensure the security of military food expenditure and the country's grain supply.

The household department is responsible for the allocation of military rations is Shilang and Shen, in order for the virtuous brother of the East Pavilion to be able to calm the thief in one fell swoop, and support the emperor with the power of great victory, and Shen has been busy for the past two days without even sleeping.

"The ministry has issued a document to the warehouses in various places, saying that all the rations for officers and soldiers and horses and grass beans needed for military quarters, if there are warehouses or factories that have not been moved, will be allocated to the army."

He Shen also said that in addition to the granaries in various places directly under the management of the household department, he also issued a document to the five provinces of Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Shanxi, and Zhili, so that these five provinces could supply military rations for the army, and absolutely ensure that the soldiers on the expedition would not go hungry to fight.

"Dongge, there is not much time left for the emperor, everything depends on you!"

When He Shen left, his nose was very sore.

Compared with himself, the burden on the shoulders of the virtuous brother of Dongge is heavier, and the pressure he bears is unimaginable to others.

In order to revive the children of Aixin Jueluo and revitalize the martial arts of the Eight Banners, he would rather offend the clan than compromise, and this spirit of solitude alone is far beyond the reach of those princes who are vegetarian in the corpse position!

"Brother He, rest assured, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, even if I shed the last drop of blood of Aixin Jueluo, I will never give up!"

Jia Liu's expression was firm, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

The matter of military rations has been solved, but the biggest headache for Jia Liu at the moment is not the problem of food and grass, but how to raise the muskets, artillery, armor and ordnance, war horses and other consumables needed by the army to go on the expedition.

In this expedition, the troops that set out from the Beijing Division alone included the Zhengbai Banner Guard, the Tiger Gun Battalion, and the Shanpu Battalion, as well as the rebuilt Jianrui Battalion, the Internal Affairs Bureau's Baoyi Battalion, the Firearms Battalion, and the Yuanmingyuan Guard Battalion, with a total strength of nearly 20,000 men in 15 regiments.

Jia Liu's own personal guard troops, and the Rehe cavalry troops that came out for exercises and training, these are nearly five regiments of men.

The total number of regular troops alone amounted to 25,000.

Here, it is like a demon moth to force the children of other clans to enlist, a yellow belt battalion, a red belt battalion, and there must be fifteen thousand people in the two battalions together.

More than 7,000 horses were dispatched, and nearly 10,000 horses, donkeys, mules, camels and other livestock were drawn by carts.

That is to say, there are 40,000 troops starting from the Beijing Division alone, and all of them are the children of the Eight Banners, which is actually the largest mobilization of the Eight Banners of the Beijing Division since the Battle of Hetongbo.

Some people say that it is the last breath of Eight Banners.

If you take a closer look, it's really not false at all.

If you want to do a good job, you must first benefit it.

It's good to have more people, but where does the weapons and equipment come from?

Jia Sixty had a headache.
