Yanjing.

After the Council of Princes and Ministers approved the establishment of Manchu in Jingzhou, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia began to quarrel.

Which flag was drawn from the soldiers of the Eight Banners, what treatment was given, and how to dispose of the original flag property in Beijing?

How to arrange local supplies along the way, and how to relocate local residents in the city?

There are a lot of big and small problems.

It may be that these problems are minor problems in the eyes of the imperial court, but they are big problems when it comes to the selection of the flag soldiers.

The interests of each family are involved, and it is impossible for each family not to make noise.

This is good for the former Shunzhi Ye to be stationed, and the flag soldiers who went out to fight said that they would be stationed on the spot, and there was not much to deal with, but now it is urgent to draw people from the Eight Banners of Beijing to Jingzhou to garrison, and there are more problems involved.

First of all, no flag is willing to take the initiative to go to Jingzhou.

So when the news came out, Yanjing blew up all over the city.

Say that Xishan is in Huguang, and Jingzhou is also in Huguang, and when the time comes, the flag soldiers selected to be stationed in Jingzhou will definitely go to Xishan to fight, and I don't know how many will die at that time.

There are even more people who say that they can't go to Jingzhou.

Why?

Guan Erye can't put the ground evenly, can we handle it?

scolded and scolded, and the spearhead was aimed at Aobai.

said that Ao Bai let his younger brother Mu Lima kill thousands of Manchurian children before, and now he has sent thousands of children to die, is this Ao Bai a loyal minister or a traitor of the Qing Dynasty?

When the news reached Aobai'er, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

"It's only been 20 years since I entered the customs, and these children under it are so cowardly and incompetent, where is the sharp spirit of my Eight Banners warriors who pacified the world back then! If this goes on for a long time, will the Qing Dynasty still have to be returned to the Han people! ”

Angry and urgent, Jingzhou's full city affairs cannot be delayed for a moment.

Several yamen discussed for a few days, and finally gave the 4,000 soldiers who moved to Jingzhou, and then reorganized the eight banners, a total of 16 Niu Lu, each Niu Lu armor 256 people, each Niu Lu in addition to one leader, set up six Xiao riding school, eight leaders.

In addition, 150 craftsmen were selected to relocate.

In addition, 16 assistant leaders and 40 staff leaders were added, and two deputy commanders of Manchuria and Mongolia were added.

The fields divided by the selected flag soldiers in Beijing were repurchased by the yamen of each capital at the market price, and each household was given a reward of 120 taels of silver, and the houses and purchased shops were disposed of by the flag soldiers themselves.

In addition, each soldier was issued with 20 taels of silver for weapons, and 12 taels for the rest of the equipment, and 3,800 horses were allocated, which was calculated according to 18 taels of horse raising fees per soldier.

Along the way, the envoys are supported by the household department.

Then the Yamen of the Governor of Huguang, the Yamen of the Governor of Huguang and the Yamen of the Governor of Jingzhou began to occupy houses in Jingzhou City, and the original owners of the houses all moved to the outer city.

Those who have empty houses will be replaced according to the area of the original houses, and those who have no empty houses will be built in a place, and the wooden houses and wooden sheds will be used as temporary residences.

Or go out of the city and move to another place, and if there is really nowhere to go, you can give the rent money.

A monthly subsidy of one or two or three dollars is given.

After the officers and soldiers stationed in the Eight Banners were stationed, each household should be divided into 120 acres of fertile land, which would be solved by the Huguang Governor Yamen, and the local fertile land in Jingzhou would not be enough to be circled around it.

According to the calculation of 4,000 soldiers, no less than 500,000 mu of fertile land should be enclosed at one time.

After the charter came out, the yamen began to mobilize the bannermen, and only after scolding and scolding could they have given the 4,000 bannermen who went south, and the total number of family members reported was nearly 15,000, so the eight banners stationed in Jingzhou City together with their families were nearly 20,000.

The scale is not as large as Jiangning and Xi'an, but it is much larger than other places.

When the banners were busy with the relocation matters, in the palace of Prince An, Yue Le was teaching a few minions with a dark face.

Several minions were tied up by five flowers, kneeling there so frightened that their hands and feet were cold, and their intestines were blue with regret.

It turned out to be chewing the root of his tongue, saying that the court was afraid of their masters, so they didn't dare to let their masters take command of the battle, and said that according to seniority, military merit, and relatives, how could their masters be regents, and a few years ago, wasn't the meeting of princes and ministers presided over by their masters.

It's good now, inside and outside the palace to guard against their masters, like thieves, so that their masters have no place to show their skills.

It was a few people who were full of food and were talking nonsense, but they were reported by the tip of their ears.

As soon as he heard that the people in the house were talking about the master and the court in vain, Yue Le was angry and immediately ordered someone to tie up a few dog slaves, and asked the slaves of all courtyards to come, so that he wanted to kill these dog slaves in public, lest the slaves not know what to do and what to do, and there was no one in his mouth to cause trouble for him.

"The prince has an order to whip each of these minions who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, and exempt them from a year's bounty! In the future, whoever dares to chew his tongue and break the rules of the house will be severely punished! ”

The eunuch of the head of Prince An's Mansion is a eunuch of the Chongzhen Dynasty in the past, and he is already old, and his voice is a little harsh, which makes people very uncomfortable to hear.

As soon as he finished shouting, a palace guard came over with a family law - a shiny thin leather whip.

"Lord Wang!"

The steward and eunuch took the whip from the hand of the guard and walked respectfully to the master.

Yue Le didn't say a word, picked up the whip and whipped it at a few minions, but the poor minions couldn't take care of their heads, and after a while, they were all whipped open, clenching their teeth and not daring to shout half a word.

According to the rules of the house, if the master dares to call when he is executed, it is an aggravated punishment.

Fifty lashes are already dying, and if you add another fifty lashes, you will definitely not survive.

Yue Le was smoking, but the porter came to report that it was Prince Kang who asked to see him.

Prince Kang Jieshu is Dai Shan's grandson, and Yue Le's Ama Abatai is Dai Shan's seventh brother, so Jie Shu is his nephew.

The Empress Dowager appointed Jieshu to replace Mulima to preside over the Xishan Ping's thief affairs, and at the end of the month, Jieshu was going to lead the Mongolian and Han armies to Huguang.

This is probably the youngest general Wang since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.

Dai Shan had a good relationship with Abatai before his death, and Yue Le also received a lot of care from Dai Shan's uncle in his early years, so he asked his nephew to come in.

"Fourth uncle!"

Jie Shu stepped forward and bowed to Yue Le to give a junior salute.

"You kid didn't come to my house before, what wind blew you here today?"

Yue Le asked people to serve tea, looked at this nephew who was not yet twenty years old, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.

The Empress Dowager would rather let Jieshu go on the expedition than let herself be in charge, which shows that he has a deep prejudice against Yue Le, and I am afraid that if there is a day of the Empress Dowager, it will be difficult for him Yue Le to have a bright future.

"Fourth Uncle,"

Jie Shu did not hide it, and bluntly said that he had never led an army before, and this time he was suddenly appointed as the general of Jingxi to go on the expedition, and he really didn't know what to do when he arrived in Huguang, so he came to listen to the fourth uncle's opinion.

Listening to what Jie Shu said, Yue Le couldn't help nodding slightly, and said to Jie Shu: "The remnants of the Ming Dynasty in Xishan don't have much troops, and they don't have money and grain to support them, so they can't fight in a good location. After you pass, don't learn from Mulima to urge the battle, let alone supervise the Eight Banners to attack the fortifications, just use Li Guoying's method. ”

Li Guoying's method was to surround them, seal them tightly, not fight the Ming army, and trap them alive.

It's a stupid idea, but it works.

Mulima was eager to make merit at the beginning, but as a result, he made a big heel in Xishan, triggering a follow-up chain reaction.

"How long are you going to be sleepy?"

Jie Shu was a little worried that if he dragged on in Xishan for too long, he was afraid that the court would think that he was incompetent.

After all, young people still have the heart.

"At most, it will be a year and a half, and at least half a year, during which the green battalion can attack and disturb the Ming army, so that it can be tired of going back and forth to rescue."

This time is estimated by Yue Le based on the actual situation, the number of remnants of the Ming army may be tens of thousands, but the place in Xishan simply cannot supply food for so many people, so even if the Ming army has won two victories and captured a lot of them, it is impossible to last for a year.

After speaking, he reminded his nephew to use Han officials and soldiers boldly after arriving in Huguang, and to appease the generals.

"It is the national policy of Emperor Taizong to control the Han with Han, and I can have today in the Qing Dynasty thanks to this policy.

Yue Le didn't hide anything at all, and taught his views on the Xishan War and his past experience in leading the army to his nephew, who was less than twenty years old.

Jieshu also listened carefully.

The uncle and nephew talked for more than an hour before Jie Shu left.

After only Jieshu left, Mu Zhan, the commander of the guards of Prince An's Mansion, hesitated, but still mustered up the courage to say to the prince: "Today, the children of the royal family are young and do not practice war, and only the prince is handsome in the royal family, if the prince wants to make a comeback, it is better for this Prince Kang not to make meritorious contributions." ”
