Chapter 608: The Eight Banners of North Korea
Dolgon ordered all banner owners to nominate candidates for the Eight Banners of Korea, but in just two days, Duoduo, Daishan, Babutai, Lai Mubu, Fei Yangguo and others recommended more than a dozen candidates.
After carefully sifting through it, Dolgon selected the candidate for the Eight Banners of North Korea.
One is Eshuo of the Yellow Banner of Manchuria, and his father Xi Han led 400 people to surrender as early as the time of the wild boar Pinurhachi, and was given the name Lukesu.
In the eighth year of Tiancong, Eshuo followed Belledordo to attack the Ming Dynasty and attack the Qiantun guard, and Eshuo killed the patrolling soldiers. He also followed the Kabush Xian Kalayi Angbang Laosa and led the soldiers to welcome the returnees of the Chahar tribe, and gave the ox Lu Zhen.
In the ninth year of Tiancong, Houjin united with the Chahar Department to attack the Ming Dynasty, and Eshuo went from Shuozhou to Laoxian County and beheaded Luo. Since Pingluwei went out, the Ming army came to challenge, and Eshuo led the army to repel the Ming army that came to challenge. Entering the world post second-class Lajiazhangjing, and promoting the Baya Lajia Lazhangjing.
One is Ma Futa, who was first awarded the post of Manchurian Yellow Flag Ox Record. In the fifth year of Tiancong, the Ministry of Household Affairs was authorized to participate in politics, and in the eighth year of Tiancong, Mafuta and the Ministry of Household Chengzheng Ying Erdai went to North Korea to exchange markets. In the ninth year of Tiancong, he made a North Korean envoy with Borh Hui, who participated in politics. In the first year of Chongdeok, he followed Huang Taiji to conquer Korea as a guide, and since then he has been negotiating between the Qing Dynasty and Korea.
Mafuta was a good argument, and Dolgon valued him very much, but in history Mafuta died in February of the fifth year of Chongde, that is, in 1640, but today, Mafuta is still alive, which can be regarded as a variable.
One is Gualja Lausa who is affiliated with the Manchurian Red Flag. When the wild boar Pinurhachi led the troops to the Valkha tribe, Rausa returned. In the second year of Tiancong, because of his courage and good fighting, he was called "Kala Yizhangjing". In April of the ninth year, he received the Chahar tribe from Beledorgon.
It can be said that Rausa is Dorgon's old subordinate, and this is largely due to this reason when he was elected by Daishan.
In addition, there are also Manzhou Zhenghuang Banner Jia Lazhang Jing Sony, the third-class Fengguo General, Manzhou Yellow Banner Jia La'e Zhen Ban Bushan, Manzhou Zhengbai Banner Baya Lama Zhangjing Suke Saha, Manzhou Zhenglan Banner First Class Angbang Zhangjing Ji Bilong, Manzhou Blue Banner Jia Lama Zhen Ao Bai.
After Dolgon selected these eight people, he took Sonny as the North Korean Zhenghuang Flag Gushan Ezhen, Aobai as the North Korean Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen, Shopilon as the Korean White Flag Gushan Ezhen, Sukh Saha as the Korean White Flag Gushan Ezhen, Bambulshan as the Korean Zhenghong Flag Gushan Ezhen, Rausa as the North Korea Red Flag Gushan Ezhen, Mafuta as the North Korean Blue Flag Gushan Ezhen, and Eshuo as the North Korea Blue Flag Gushan Ezhen.
After deciding on the candidates, Dolgon ordered eight people to enter the Chongzheng Hall to listen to the announcement, and asked the eight people to face the order.
Sonny, Ao Bai and others were suddenly promoted and appointed, and everyone was excited, and in the face of Dorgon's encouragement, everyone bowed and saluted, shouting long live.
The next day, several people came to the camp outside Shengjing City, and at this time, all the soldiers and horses mobilized by the DPRK had been stationed in the camp in the east of the city, and the number of people had exceeded 200,000!
Of course, none of these Korean soldiers and horses were equipped with weapons, but they were confined in large camps, waiting for the reorganization and training of the Qing court.
Soni, Aobai, Sukh Saha, Suppilon, Bamburshan, Eshuo, Mafuta, and Rausa rode their horses behind the Minister of the Interior, Yingordai, and entered the camp directly, and then came to the tent of the Chinese army together.
At this time, all the soldiers and horses of North Korea have their own generals and commanders, and after everyone entered the big tent and sat down, Ying Erdai ordered people to find more than a dozen major generals, and said to everyone: "The imperial court has appointed eight Gushan Ezhen of the Eight Banners of Korea, and from today on, these eight are your masters!" ”
The dozen or so North Korean generals knelt down and saluted one after another, for fear of annoying these Qing masters.
Immediately, Ying Ordai asked the dozen or so Korean generals to leave their respective talismans and the names of the battalions under their respective commands, and then let everyone retreat.
At this time, Ying Ordai said to Sony, Ao Bai and the other eight people: "According to Your Majesty's will, the strength of each of the eight banners of Korea is 30,000, and the strength of the eight banners is 240,000. You can discuss the strength of these battalions on your own and see how to deploy them, first set up the rack of the Eight Banners of Korea, reorganize the troops as soon as possible, and start drilling. ”
Several people saluted and received the order.
Yingordai said: "But there is one point, a few people should keep in mind, the Korean Eight Banners are different from the Han Army's Eight Banners, the Han Army's Eight Banners can be equipped with a large number of firearms, and the North Korean Eight Banners can only be equipped with some firearms, and must not be equipped with artillery." To put it bluntly, these Koreans are cannon fodder used to consume the strength of the Ming army, and they can die as much as they want, but the training must be strict and the speed of forming an army must be fast. ”
Several people looked at each other, and such words were said directly, which shows that the attitude of the imperial court towards these Koreans is not even as good as that of the soldiers and horses of the Han military flag, so these people can be regarded as having an understanding in their hearts.
At this time, Sony, Aobai and others also brought some guards from the various banners of Manchuria, each of whom brought about two or three hundred people, and these troops were used as a few people to deter the Korean soldiers and horses.
So a few people also had a plan in their hearts, and they were ready to set up rules for those North Koreans when they were rectifying the North Korean soldiers and horses, and if they really couldn't do it, they would kill some people, and they must make those North Koreans obedient.
At this time, Ying Erdai said: "At present, the Ming army has sent a large number of sharp posts into Liaodong, and each banner has also sent a large number of Bayala camp warriors to surround and intercept it. It can be seen that the Ming State is preparing to send troops to Liaodong, and those sharp posts are coming to inquire about the military situation in advance. ”
Hearing this, the hearts of the eight people, Sonny, Aobai, Sukh Saha, Suppilon, Bambulshan, Eshuo, Mafuta, and Rausa, were all heavy.
The Ming army, which was originally rotten in the eyes of everyone and was about to collapse at the touch of a button, was reborn in a short period of time with the rise of Liu Yan and became a strong army that the Qing warriors could not defeat.
Now the situation between the two sides has been completely reversed, the Qing warriors have become the defensive side, and the Ming army is preparing to attack at the pass, such a drastic change makes it difficult for several people to accept, but they are powerless to change this fact.
Yingordai also sighed, and now the Qing Dynasty has rebuilt hundreds of thousands of troops by exhausting the way of fishing, in order to deploy defenses in various parts of Liaodong as soon as possible to resist the upcoming attack of the Ming army.
It is foreseeable that no matter whether the Qing Dynasty wins or loses this battle, the warriors of all banners will suffer heavy casualties, which is tantamount to a catastrophe for the Qing Dynasty, which has a sparse population!
The Ming State is a behemoth, this attack on Liu Yan can be defeated, hundreds of thousands of horses can be lost in Liaodong, as long as a large number of Qing troops can be killed.
It only takes a few years, and Liu Yan can gather hundreds of thousands of troops to kill him, but the Qing Dynasty has not been able to recover again for more than ten or twenty years, after all, there are no wild women to catch in Liaodong at present, and there are no Mongolian tribes on the grassland that can be annexed.
In other words, the Qing Dynasty has no way out, and the only way to defeat Liu Yan's hundreds of thousands of troops in this battle is to defeat Liu Yan's hundreds of thousands of troops at a very low cost, and then rush into the pass again and knock down the Ming Dynasty again, so that the Qing Dynasty can have a future and a way out!
But can such a situation, with the current comparison of the strength of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Kingdom, really be realized?
Thinking about this, Yingordai's heart became heavier and heavier, and he knew that it was impossible, but he couldn't help but maintain a glimmer of hope.
Next to him, Sonny, Aobai, Sukh Saha, Kupilon, Bambulshan, Eshuo, Mafuta, and Rausa were all solemn, and what Yingordai was worried about was actually the worry in the hearts of several people.
After everyone finished talking about business, they looked at each other and were speechless, and then Yingordai said: "Okay, you guys are busy in the camp, I will go back to the city to report to Your Majesty, and I can mobilize troops for you as soon as possible." ”
Several people sent Yingordai out of the camp, and then returned to the Chinese army's tent to discuss specific affairs.
After a few people discussed for a while, they vaguely led by Sonny and Aobai, after all, the two of them were also led by the two yellow flags of North Korea, and the other six people all looked at the two.
Sony didn't back down, and said directly to a few people: "The most important thing at the moment is the distribution of troops, we will use three days to put the 240,000 army in place!" ”
Bamburshan frowned slightly and said: "Time is too tight, the army of more than 200,000 is all Koreans, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
Sony said coldly: "There are only three days!" Pressing those North Korean generals to deploy troops and seize the time to reorganize. As soon as the time of three days is up, which North Korean soldiers and horses have not been integrated into the Eight Banners of North Korea, the generals of this department will be beheaded and displayed to the public! ”
The rest of the people immediately took a breath of cool air, but I have to say that Sony's method is indeed the best effect at the moment.
So the few people discussed some details, and began to convene the Korean generals of the various ministries to discuss the matter.
Beginning early the next morning, more than 200,000 Korean soldiers and horses in the camp were mobilized, and the soldiers and horses of various units began to be registered, carried and reorganized, and one by one they were scattered and distributed to the eight Korean banners.
On the first day, there were more than 70,000 North Korean soldiers were integrated into the flags, for this speed, Sony was very dissatisfied, at dusk, Sony saw a North Korean general led by the soldiers and horses failed to arrive at the designated assembly point within the specified time, although only a few dozen people were missing, but also Sony was caught, directly ordered the North Korean general to be escorted to the front of the Chinese army's big tent.
At this time, many North Korean soldiers gathered around, and many North Korean generals also rushed over when they heard the news.
I saw that Sony's face was gloomy, and hundreds of Manchurian soldiers around him maintained order, and those heavily armored and fierce Manchurian soldiers made the surrounding Korean soldiers terrified, even if they saw that the North Korean generals had been stripped naked and hung up, thousands of North Korean soldiers around them did not dare to say anything, and even many people were frightened by the scene in front of them.
Sonny shouted coldly: "General Ben has already specified the assembly place and assembly time of each department, there are only three days for the reorganization of the army, and there are only two days left after today, but there are still people who do not listen to the order, do you think that my military order of the Qing Dynasty is an ornament!" ”
After speaking, Ao Bai on the side had a cold face and led people to the flagpole, and there was the North Korean general hanging on it, which was several feet high.
Then, Ao Bai glanced at Sony, only to see Sony say coldly: "Let me show you today, in my Qing military camp, what is the end of disobeying military orders!" ”
Ao Bai immediately pulled out his war knife, and cut the rope on the flagpole with one sword, and the North Korean general who was hanging on a high place fell down directly, and after a miserable scream, he fell into blood, and the whole person was blurred with flesh and blood, and he could hardly see the appearance of a person, but he had not yet swallowed his breath.
Ao Bai stepped forward again, pulled out a dagger, and swept over the thousands of North Korean soldiers who were watching with a bloodthirsty look, seeing that those North Korean soldiers all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Ao Bai.
"Hmph, a bunch of crumbs!"
Ao Bai was disdainful for a while, and began to use a dagger to cut the flesh of the Korean general. A terrible shout sounded, and the surrounding North Korean soldiers suddenly stirred, but no one dared to say anything, and fear spread among the crowd.
After a while, the Korean general ran out of breath, stood up with admiration, put the bloody dagger in his mouth, and allowed the blood on it, as if he was tasting fine wine, and even frightened some timid North Korean soldiers to faint to death.
Seeing this, Sonny said coldly: "This time, General Ben only kills one person, and next time someone doesn't listen to the order, it won't be a matter of killing one person!" ”
After saying that, Sony ordered all departments to bring it back and continue to reorganize. The Korean soldiers of all units were suddenly pardoned and did not dare to stay here for a moment.
