Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 385 The Emperor Wants to Bloodbath the Clan

The infantry commander's yamen is in Mao'er Hutong, which is also commonly known as the nine-door admiral's yamen.

In terms of power, the nine admirals commanded the infantry battalion composed of Manchuria, Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han army, as well as the horse infantry of the green battalion of the capital.

Jingshi Green Camp is also commonly known as the patrolling camp by the people of the capital.

The Eight Banners infantry under the jurisdiction of the Infantry Battalion usually maintains around 20,000 people. The Patrol Battalion had nearly 20,000 people at its peak during the Kangxi period, but now there are only more than [-] people.

In the later years of Kangxi, Long Kedo was the admiral of the Nine Gates, directly commanding the Eight Banners infantry and patrolling battalions, with more than [-] troops, and he was the figure with the most troops in the capital at that time. It is not difficult to see why Long Kedo can control the ownership of the throne.

If Jia Liu can become the admiral of the Nine Gates, if he manages well, he may really become the "Papa Jia" that Aixinjueluo is vying to win over.

The problem is that Qianlong's imperial decree to Jia Liu did not let Jia Liu command the Eight Banners infantry, as long as he was in charge of the patrol battalion.

It seems that there is not enough trust in Jia Liu, but it is actually because the Eight Banners Infantry Battalion of the capital exists in name only.

On the surface, there are still more than 4000 Eight Banners soldiers in the infantry battalion, but in fact only [-] people can go to work normally.

These Eight Banners soldiers who go to work are probably receiving rice grains, which can help maintain order in the inner city, guard at the city gate for inspection, and patrol at night. That is absolutely impossible. If they are asked to quell the chaos, it is very likely that the rebels will be chased like rabbits.

There are two main reasons why the Eight Banners of the Beijing Camp are corrupt and unusable. The first reason must be decay.

The second reason is that the three dynasties of Kang, Yong and Qian have exhausted the elite soldiers capable of fighting in the Eight Banners.

The battle with the Junggars and Tongbo broke the backbone of the Eight Banners soldiers, and the battle against Jinchuan and Burma almost exhausted the last soldiers capable of fighting.

Therefore, in the past few years when the Eight Banners soldiers were transferred to Jinchuan, except for the transfer of Sauron, the Eight Banners in the Beijing Camp always rushed to the aid of thousands of people, instead of tens of thousands in the past.

Wen Fu, Agui, and Mingliang were the three Dingxi generals, and they almost took away the last bit of the Eight Banners.

As a result, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the Beijing Eight Banners, but they just can't find usable soldiers.

No one knows better than Jia Liu the details of the Beijing Battalion and Eight Banners. The Qianfeng Battalion is disabled, the Jianrui Battalion can be said to have been wiped out, the Shanpu Battalion can probably maintain a shelf, and the Firearms Battalion has the same virtue as the Qianfeng Battalion. The four battalions of soldiers in China may add up to three or 4000 people.

What we can still take a look at is the guard camp with the worst combat effectiveness. It sounds like there are more than 1000 people, but Jia Liu dares to say that his Changwei army of [-] people will be able to settle the guard camp.

That is to say, Jia Liu is still loyal to the Qing Dynasty for the time being. If he is really a living grand master, the day when Chang Wei's army enters Beijing will be the time when the Eight Banners will be in trouble.

Of course, the main reason is that Chang Wei's army only has a total of 1000 people, and it's like playing around with seven or eight thousand people.

.........

Jia Liu was not resisted by any generals in the commanding yamen of the infantry, and he successfully became the admiral of the Nine Gates after showing the imperial decree.

Since Chang Wei's army had not yet arrived in Beijing, Jia Liu did not make adjustments to the personnel of the infantry commanding the yamen without the support of direct force.

It's just that someone hangs his Yebilong sword in the hall, and then directly asks someone to take a mat and spread it on the hall, put the quilt on it, and say to the generals of Manchu and Han: "From now on, Shikai will sleep here. If you have anything to do, just report to me."

After saying hello, he investigated the strength of the patrolling battalion under his direct command and the garrison situation.

The patrolling battalion is divided into the middle battalion, the second battalion from the south left, and the second battalion from the north right. The roster includes about 3000 people including cavalry, soldiers, and guards.

However, the more than [-] soldiers and horses of the patrol battalion were not stationed in the entire city, and there was no special camp in the outer city, but scattered in the outer city, including Yuanmingyuan, Changchunyuan and other places outside the city, with nearly [-] places stationed in various places.

To put it bluntly, more than half of the patrolling battalion's strength is actually patrolling (police), and the only one that can be used as an army is the 1500 cavalry soldiers under the direct control of the admiral of the Zhongying Battalion. .

The other is the 3000 soldiers stationed in Shucun, commanded by Li Mi, the deputy general of Guizhongying, and the bannerman of the Han army.

Therefore, as long as Rui Lin and Li Mi can be shocked so that they do not dare to act rashly, Jia Liu's mission will be considered complete.

It is impossible for other patrols with as many as a hundred people or as few as a dozen or 20 people to become a threat, because it is not an easy task to gather them together.

After finding out the details of the patrol camp, it is natural to find out the details of the imperial army in the city.

"Currently, the main bodyguard force in the palace is the Guard Office. The Imperial Guards under the command of the Guard Office are about 600 people. Among these people, except for a few clan members who have doubtful positions, the others are loyal and reliable."

Fan Wei, a trainee military adviser, has not been idle recently, and has fully performed his duties as a staff officer.

"Can you be reliable? Most of those people are selected from the upper three banners. They have high grades, high salaries, and good careers. They are all the envy of others."

Jia Liu sniffled, and didn't tell Fan Wei that there were his loyal subordinates in the imperial bodyguard.

The bodyguard office is now in the hands of Fu Long'an. This man's loyalty to Qianlong is unquestionable, and it is impossible for the clan to pull him over.

Unless Jia Liu personally wakes up the Gongjin members who are carrying out the latent plan, and digs out the key to the Qianqing door hidden under the old pagoda tree at home, otherwise the defense line of the guard's office cannot be breached.

"The other is the Shangsanqi guard camp. This group of people is also composed of guards selected from the Manchu Shangsanqi. Each battalion has about a thousand people, and there are almost 3000 people. They are under the command of the former minister."

He Shen said that in addition to Fulong'an being in charge of the bodyguard office, Qianlong let the former imperial minister Santai be in charge of the Qianqingmen and the Shangsanqi guards.

The guards of the Lower Five Banners are nominally commanded by the princes, but in reality all the banners are in charge. In the eyes of the emperor, they are definitely not as loyal as the guards of the Upper Three Banners, and they are also the armed force most likely to be dragged away by the princes.

Calculated in this way, the power directly controlled by Qianlong's "direct line" in Mancheng is the Guards Department and the Three Banners Guards, with a total number of about [-].

Jia Liu suddenly said, "I do have a cousin who is the commander of the guard."

Fan Wei hurriedly asked who it was.

"Seixentu, the commander of the Manchurian Guard Army with the Yellow Banner, is my aunt's son, and my father's first cousin, but this old boy is a bit snobbish."

Jia Liu really doesn't have a good impression of Aixinjueluo Biao.

The commander of the Zhenghuang Banner Guard is Santai, and the commander of the Zhengbai Banner Guard is Fu Longan, who is also the commander of the Manchuria of the Zhengbai Banner.

It should be said that Qianlong was really good at employing people. He arranged the key positions of the imperial guards well early on. The faction can't get much advantage in terms of force.

Fan Wei also pointed out that the Ministry of Internal Affairs also had a military force, which was composed of the Baoyi Vanguard Battalion, the Baoyi Guard Battalion, and the Baoyi Xiaoqi Battalion, which were composed of the Shangsanqi Baoyi. The total number of soldiers was about 7000.It is usually not used independently, but as a supplementary force for guards and barracks.

The nature of the security team.

"Don't underestimate the power of the coating, and don't underestimate the loyalty of the coating to the master."

Jia Liu got up and walked to the front of the hall with his hands behind his back, looked at the bright moon in the sky and said quietly: "I'm afraid the clan doesn't have the guts to directly overturn the table with the fourth devil."

He believes that the debate on whether the emperor is a Manchu or a Han may be carried out in the form of "literary struggle", which is the Qing version of the dispute over etiquette.

Fan Wei thought for a moment, and said: "Then the clan must have the courage, or be forced to flip the table."

"What do you mean?"

Jia Liu is still very optimistic about this military division Wang Lun.

"My lord, what I mean is that since some people in the clan believe that Qianlong is not a Manchu, we might as well add more firewood, saying that Qianlong is a Han. After murdering the empress dowager, he plans to restore the Han surname. This society has secretly sent troops to Beijing to prepare for the bloodbath of the clan. .”

Hearing Fan Wei's words, Jia Liu couldn't help laughing: "This rumor is a bit too much, how can there be soldiers entering Beijing?"

Speaking of this, I suddenly felt a "thump" in my heart, and looked at Fan Wei in a daze: "You mean my Chang Weijun?"
