Dajin country, outside the fairy gate.

Eight Flags Recruitment!

On the grassland, tigers are like forests.

The soldiers of the 40,000 New Army of the Forty-Eight Banners, wearing guns and helmets of various colors and old-fashioned cotton armor, stood solemnly and silently. Eight brigade phalanxes, thirty-two battalion phalanxes, and one hundred and twenty-eight company columns formed a perfect lineup.

Looking horizontally, it is a straight line. Vertically, it is a straight line. Diagonally, it's still a straight line.

The battalion commander, battalion deputy, staff officer, and Taoist priests of each battalion stood in front of the phalanx. The officers were all mighty with swords in their hands. There is also a Taoist master who is holding a whisk and carrying a sword, and he also stands straight, and at a glance he knows that he is a Taoist priest who has gone to a military school......

This kind of slaughter, how can it be compared to the Eight Banners in another timeline?

Zhuge Weidao, who has been with Nalandili for a long time, has now figured out the bottom of the Dajin Eight Banner Soldiers...... These people are actually homesteaders in the Wuji Valley. Every family has a village and some livestock. Although he didn't have much cash in his hand, he relied on the fertile land in the Wuji Valley and the pastures on the hillside, so he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking.

Inside Wuji Valley is the world of Taoism, and each leader of the Eight Banners is equipped with a small Taoist temple, which is both a religious place and a school. The children of the Eight Banners received a six-year "cultivation education" there, among which those who "cultivated" well could go to the monastic school in Bagua City to continue their "cultivation", and they could also take the entrance examination to the Immortal Dao University Hall after "cultivating" in the Great Dao View of Bagua City.

Of course, the small Taoist temples and the monastic schools in Bagua City that belong to each leader are all "public immortal cultivators", and the level is average. That is, ordinary children of banner people go there to study and practice (among them, banner women generally have six years of immortal education), and the nobles of the Eight Banners generally go to the Asking Immortal Hall of the Nalan family to "cultivate". In addition, the Nalan family also has an Yingxian Pavilion that specializes in cultivating female cultivators......

In other words, the 40,000 new officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners who are arrayed outside Xianmen Pass today have at least the experience of "cultivating immortals for six years", and they can all be counted. And the children of the Eight Banners who served as officers and military masters were at least the Eight Banners Martial Arts Hall who graduated from the Bagua City Cultivation School, and some of them were "high-level monks" who graduated from the Immortal Dao University.

Don't look at them dressed in rustic clothes, and they are all superstitious about "scientific fortune-telling", but in fact they are all soldiers with modern education! Although the average number of years of education is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty, it is not worse than that of the British army in the British homeland.

It's just that in the territory of Dajin Kingdom, the population that can enjoy this kind of "modern immortal cultivation education" is only three or four million banner people living in Wuji Valley.

However, since Dajin has no industry in China that can match this part of the "high-quality population", just providing education and a little limited welfare for these banner people has already made the Dajin court unable to make ends meet!

In the middle of this steppe lined up by the army, there stood a huge watchtower, and the upper floor was empty, except for two "yellow coats", holding on to the railing, standing side by side. The eyes of both of them kept looking at the phalanx below. These two people are Zhuge Weidao and Zheng Guoxian.

These two men and the Ming Army and Navy Advisory Group they brought with them are now dressed in the clothes of the Jin Army, although most of the British can guess that the Ming Dynasty is behind the scenes to instruct the Dajin to invade India. But the advisory group of the Ming army could not hide it in the slightest, which was too irresponsible. After all, Daying and Ming are still testing each other, and it's not time to tear their faces and dry up!

In addition, before Emperor Daoguang sent troops, Lin Zexu, who had completed the arch fire mission, had already taken the airship back with the "Lend-Lease Material Agreement" and the "Track Construction Agreement" signed by the two sides - with the airship and the railway, Lin Zexu came and went back and forth.

"Shenshan, these immortal soldiers look okay, right?" It was Zhuge who asked the question.

Although he is a complete layman for the army, he can still see the spirit of the tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers below at a glance. Just this formation, I think the old eight flags under the hands of the wild boar skin can't be put out.

"Of course!" Zheng Guoxian smiled, "How can this soldier not work? This soldier is better than our Ming infantry! ”

"What? Is there that high-quality? Zhuge was stunned. He already knew that although Zheng Guoxian had been living in Jinyiwei before, he was also a serious soldier in the army, and he also went to the Army Staff College!

Where can this vision go?

"Of course," Zheng Guoxian said with great certainty, "they are all mountain dragoons, cavalry on horseback and infantry on horseback, and they are especially good at fighting in the mountains....... In addition, they are all semi-professional soldiers, half-peasants and half-soldiers, and the quality of their officers and men is not bad. Where can our conscripts compare? ”

"Then," Zhuge asked for the Dao, "that Daoguang won't be confiscated all at once, and he will enter India and become the Daoguang Emperor, right?" ”

Zheng Guoxian shook his head and said, "That's not ...... The East India Company's mercenaries numbered hundreds of thousands, much more than the army on British soil! Although the quality of the Indian native soldiers, who made up the vast majority of the East India Company mercenaries, was not high, they were all trained to do so. Most of the officers and technical branches of the army are active British soldiers.

In addition, the East India Company could also use the armies of the Indian princely states to fight for them, such as the Sikh Legion, the Hyderabad Legion, and the Mysore Legion, all of which had a certain strength, among which the Sikh Legion was the strongest. If you count them, the total strength of the army of British India is in the millions! ”

"Millions? So much? Although Zhuge Weidao has been "making up lessons" these days, he still doesn't know much about the army, and of course he doesn't know the military strength of British India.

Zheng Guoxian smiled: "Isn't this to prevent our Daming?" In order to block the westward expansion of our Ming Dynasty, the British don't care how many Indians die! ”

Zhuge Weidao smiled and said, "This is indeed the style of the Anglo-Saxons...... However, it is difficult to say whether these million Indian soldiers were willing to die for the British Empire. ”

When the two were talking, the military horn suddenly sounded like a whimper, and then the sound of horses' hooves was heard, the flag gate on the east side of the grassland opened, and a healthy horse entered first, and the knight on the horse was a dragon pattern yellow background Dayue armor, although the body was fat, but sitting on the horse with a straight posture, who else could there be besides the "Daoguang Emperor"?

Zhuge Weidao took out a binoculars and began to look at the fat Daoguang on horseback from a distance. I saw Fat Daoguang surrounded by a group of knights in yellow coats, galloping on the grassland, and the horse's hooves stirred up smoke and dust, and swept in front of one phalanx after another.

Daoguang passed through a phalanx, and the officers and soldiers who formed the phalanx let out a neat and loud shout: "Long live my emperor!" Banzai! ”

On the grassland, as the Daoguang Emperor Pegasus passed, the voices of the mountains shouted long live one after another, and the morale of the new officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners was also extremely high.

Daoguang rode his horse around the meadow in this way, and finally returned to the flag gate, reined in his warhorse, and stood still, looking at his army with blazing eyes. And at this time, Zhuge Weidao was also looking at him with a telescope!

At this time, Emperor Daoguang suddenly opened his throat: "I have already hung in front of the statues of the ancestors and ancestors and Zhuge Kongming today...... The hexagram shows that 'the trapped dragon ascends to heaven, and the opportunity cannot be lost', it seems that this time the south is in the hands of the victory! ”

"Hooray!"

The Eight Banners soldiers below were cheering like shaking mountains again, and most of them couldn't hear what he was talking about, but Daoguang was a trapped dragon, and they had also been trapped in Wuji Valley for many years, although they didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, but with the breeding of people, the land in the valley had begun to be a little tighter. Everyone's life began to decline decades ago.

If you don't find a way out, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive sooner or later, so everyone is looking forward to sending troops to fight!

Zhuge put down the binoculars for Dao, and said in his heart: "The more you look at this fat Daoguang, the less it looks like the original Daoguang in history, and it really looks like a great emperor...... And he acted quite resolutely, and after negotiating the agreement on the right to repair the track and mortgage the lease of materials, he immediately made up his mind to print, but there was no ambiguity at all.

The one in history, I'm afraid it can't be compared, right? It seems that this printing battle is a bit interesting! ”
