Chapter 153, the feudal strong army and the green flag of the Qing Dynasty

The southward winds from Siberia have frozen the entire northern part of China.

The Guanzhong Plain has also been covered with heavy snow, and the thick yellow earth is covered with snow-white cotton wool.

The whistling north wind swept the cotton wool up, and the snowflakes roared in the sky to form small tornadoes.

In the midst of such bitter cold, the gates of a manor house creaked open.

A strong man in a leather coat rode slowly forward on his horse.

He was followed by two slaves.

They were carrying quilts, food, and armor, and one of them was leading a tall war horse.

And the strong man carried an arquebus on his back and a waist knife on his waist.

"Master, why did you rush to the winter this time, this winter, could it be that the Qing Tartar called?"

Carrying the armor was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

About forty pounds of armor pressed on the young man's shoulders, bending his body.

The feet are also deep and shallow.

The snow in the Guanzhong Plain is definitely not as thick as that on the Haishengwei side.

But walking in such snow with heavy armor on your back is also a severe test of physical strength.

The one who is called the master is a soldier of the Heavenly Kingdom named Liu Laoba.

Subordinate to the Right Guardian of the Kingdom of Heaven.

There are 1,800 soldiers like him.

And this heavenly kingdom imitated the military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and made twelve guards.

Each guard had 1,800 soldiers, that is, 21,600.

Count the guards commanders, captains, captains, team leaders and others of each guard.

That's about 23,000 people.

However, this is to divide the Zhuangzi's government soldiers, and the land in Guanzhong is definitely not as fertile as Hubei and Sichuan, and the government soldiers must prepare their own war horses, armor, and weapons, and also raise slaves and auxiliary soldiers, and do not lead the army's salary.

Therefore, each government soldier should be divided into at least more than 300 acres of Zhuangzi.

Use more than 300 acres of Zhuangzi to raise a government soldier.

Then more than 20,000 government soldiers will need more than 6 million acres of land.

The Guanzhong Plain now has a total of more than 26 million mu of cultivated land, which at first glance does not seem to be much.

But be aware.

And that's just the cost of the lowest big-headed soldiers.

And there are officers at all levels.

There are also Hou Ye and Grandpa at all levels from the bottom up.

The amount of land distributed to these people far exceeded that of ordinary soldiers.

Even the kings of heaven, earth, literature, and martial must divide the land.

It's all an area that starts in the hundreds of thousands.

It is used to support its own direct army.

The system of this heavenly kingdom is that the four kings lead a group of grandfathers and marquises, large and small.

Each grandfather and lord have their own direct subordinate army under them.

That is, in addition to government soldiers like Liu Laoba, there are large and small lords in Shanghai on this Guanzhong Plain.

Some lords have large territories.

For example, Sanhuai, the prince of Daguo, who raised troops in Sichuan, has 60,000 soldiers under his command, including more than 4,000 old battalion soldiers.

He is the grandfather who has the most soldiers except for the four kings.

In order to support these more than 4,000 old battalion soldiers, he had to go to more than 2 million acres of land!

The princes, grandfathers, and marquis divided the Guanzhong Plain into points.

There's not much land left.

In addition, everyone didn't expect that the land in Guanzhong, which is known as being able to dominate the world, is so barren.

Only wheat can be grown.

And the yield is not high.

Therefore, after everyone arrived in Guanzhong, they all felt that this place was not good enough, and they began to focus on Henan and Hebei again.

Guanzhong is not worthy of its name.

This Central Plains is not the same as Guanzhong, right?

A group of grandfathers and marquis who felt that they didn't have much to do in the pass were all looking forward to waving their troops out of the pass, occupying the Central Plains, and dividing the fields.

The current system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is also related to the fact that the White Lotus Sect does not have a strong leadership collective.

Liu Zhixie was only the nominal leader of the White Lotus Sect.

In fact, he had no control over the White Lotus Sect Incense Masters in various places.

After the army.

Liu Zhixie is the largest of them.

However, Wang Tianhuai and Xu Tiande, who raised troops from Dazhou, Sichuan, Zhang Zhengmo, who raised troops from Zhijiang, Hubei, and Nie Jieren, who raised troops from Yidu, Hubei, were all quite capable of fighting.

Therefore, this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a composite feudal state headed by Liu Zhixie, divided into large and small grandfathers and marquises, and more than 20,000 soldiers.

It's the real feudal kind.

But don't think that feudalism can't be fought.

Generally speaking.

A feudal dynasty usually conforms to the general law of "its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden".

And the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which had just been established as a feudal state.

It happens to be in the stage of "prosperity and prosperity".

On the one hand, its military system has just been established, it has not yet been completely corrupted, and the upper and lower government orders are still relatively smooth.

On the other hand, the "government and military system" of its military base has not yet collapsed.

Take Liu Laoba as an example.

Liu Laoba, who is the lowest level of government soldiers.

In fact, he was part of the ruling class of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

He owned a farm that encompassed 327 acres of land.

There was a small blacksmith shop, a flour mill, a stable, 11 slaves, and three daughters-in-law.

At the same time, there were seven tenant households, who also lived in the Zhuangzi and came to rent Liu Laoba's farmland.

In addition to the income from tenant rent, Liu Laoba's small blacksmith shop can make farm tools, grind stone mills for grinding noodles, and lend cattle and horses, all of which are a lot of income.

And what is the income of more than 300 acres of Zhuangzi going to be used for?

In addition to having three daughters-in-law and eleven servants.

The cost of the largest head.

It's the equipment that Liu Laoba has now.

The first is a musket.

I went to Chang'an to buy it.

Use the most abundant ingredients.

Now Heaven has no way to make flintlock pistols - mainly because there is no qualified steel, and there is no qualified shrapnel.

But the same is true for arquebuses.

Although this arquebus is very generous.

But Liu Laoba, who has eaten a full meal for more than a year and can often eat some meat, is now very strong and can definitely afford it.

Except for arquebuses.

It's the waist knife on his waist.

Built with sandwich steel.

It was five feet long.

This is Liu Laoba's main weapon.

But he's the most expensive of all.

It's still a war horse that he can't afford to sit on now.

That's a lot of money.

Usually they are fed beans and wheat.

Except for horses.

There is also a set of iron armor.

Knives, iron armor, arquebuses.

This is equipment that combines long-range shooting and melee hand-to-hand combat.

Every Heavenly Soldier is a veteran who has survived dozens of battles.

It can be said that they are all decathlon.

Far from being able to shoot muskets, or shoot arrows.

You can also wear cloth iron armor to fight hand-to-hand combat.

This is a typical first-generation feudal strong soldier.

"Xu is Qing Tartar is going to attack Tong Pass! Hmph, our heavenly kingdom doesn't go to their trouble, they take the initiative to send them to death! ”

Liu Laoba snorted coldly and said.

He was, of course, a very loyal warrior of the kingdom of heaven - a loyalty guaranteed by the estate, the servants, and the daughters-in-law.

It is impossible to be more loyal.

Even if it is a soldier of the Ming army, it is impossible to compare the treatment with the soldiers of the heavenly kingdom.

The manor of more than 300 acres is also divided into slaves and daughters-in-law.

Unless Zhu Daohua confiscates all the lands of the landlords and old fortunes in Jiangnan, South China, and Hunan, and then suppresses all industry and commerce, and builds the entire Ming Dynasty into a government military system like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is based on arable land.

But how could Zhu Daohua do this?

In the short term, you can indeed get a group of loyal soldiers.

But this government is only two generations stronger.

Moreover, such a system suppresses industry and commerce, and the only way to obtain advanced weapons is through purchase.

The imperial court also did not collect any taxes.

How can it last.

But it doesn't matter if it's long or not.

Now the White Lotus Rebellion, which took the Qing Dynasty nine years and spent 200 million silver to suppress in history, is now the climate.

After a large number of manor estates and large and small noble domains.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's rule in Guanzhong was now extremely secure.

Not to mention the current Qing Dynasty.

Even the Qing Dynasty in history, which has all the world, will not be able to bite in the face of such an opponent.

After all, the Qing army even fought the toast of Jinchuan and Jinchuan so hard.

"You two don't have to slack off, this time, if you can make a contribution, you will have to become a government soldier!"

Liu Laoba encouraged.

Two auxiliary companies said yes again and again.

It's a little hard to get hot.

This Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has a hole.

I want to become a human being.

I want a soldier manor.

Now there is only one way.

It's a feat!

Only by making meritorious contributions on the battlefield can we have the possibility of standing out in this Taiping Heavenly Country.

........

Just when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was mobilizing government soldiers to enter the customs clearance.

At this time, the Qing court, the green flag soldiers of Shandong and Anhui provinces under the command of Fukangan had also been stationed in Shaanzhou.

There are more than 70,000 Green Flag soldiers in the two provinces.

The equipment is better than that of the Green Battalion, but it is not much better - because they are all weapons such as guns, sub-cannons, and spears selected from the arsenal of the Green Battalion.

However, because the Green Flag soldiers of the two provinces were used to deal with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Therefore, there is no need for too good weaponry.

The equipment is also sufficient.

After the Green Flag soldiers of the two provinces entered Henan.

Immediately, Henan Province was completely jumped.

These Green Flag soldiers were organized in the structure of their fellow villagers.

The squire was the officer, and the peasants were the soldiers.

They are very familiar with each other.

In my hometown, I still listen to the convergence.

When I arrived in the province, I completely let myself go.

Along the way, I don't know how many Henan counties have been looted.

After arriving in Shaanzhou.

Many of the green battalions in the two provinces have already made a windfall.

Under the bulging waist bag.

Naturally, morale is also at its peak.

In order to boost morale, Fukangan, the governor of the Green Banner of these two provinces, did not stop the Green Banner soldiers from plundering Henan.

In order to exterminate the bandits.

The people of Henan are a little patient and patient.

It's worth it, too.

"My lord, the bandits have recently increased their troops in Tongguan, and it doesn't look like they are just guarding the pass?"

It was Zhang Ruowei, the commander of the Green Flag Huai Legion, who spoke.

He is not very famous.

But he has a super-famous father.

Zhang Ruowei is the son of Zhang Tingyu.

The Zhang clan in Tongcheng is also a local clan.

Relying on the children of the Zhang family as officers, Zhang Ruowei pulled out more than 6,000 people this time.

The number of commanders of the army can be regarded as reasonable in front of Fukangan.

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.

Pet animal breeding base.
