Chapter 681 Huang Taiji's countdown to life!

ps: Ask for subscription and monthly pass.

The bank of the Hun River became a huge training ground.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.Weapons danced, formations changed, flags flew, and people shouted and neighed.Teams of elites selected from Manchuria under the Two White Banners and Manchuria under the Zhenglan Banner are practicing, and the momentum shakes the world.

On the podium set up next to the elm grove with large pieces of elm coins scattered all over the ground and green leaves emerging from the branches, Prince Yu Duoduo and Prince Su Hauge, uncle and nephew each wore their armors, and stood in front of a large group of also wearing armors. Surrounded by generals and guards, they watched quietly the wrappers who had recently raised the flag to practice, and stood still for a long time without moving.

Although standing in one place, there are still two distinct camps.

The officers and generals with inlaid white flags and white flags were mixed together, all of them standing beside Duoduo with bright armor and full of energy, pointing him to the movements of the soldiers and horses with two white flags on the distant school field from time to time.

The officers, generals and soldiers of the Xianglan Banner surrounded Hauge like stars holding the moon, carefully watching every move of his own coat.

There is an invisible but subtle boundary between the two groups.

On the wasteland by the river, the Han army's new battalion was formed after the three-banners were selected from the three-banner coaters to raise the flag, and they were organized and drilled according to the intentions of their respective banner owners.

According to the establishment of a team of 50 people, a Xinying Niulu was organized into six teams. Although there were not so many firecrackers, Haoge's Xianglan Banner Han barracks still followed the organization of the Shenji Camp, at least The four teams carried long wooden sticks on their shoulders as a substitute for firecrackers to practice the formation.The remaining two teams are equipped with long knives and shields, tiger spears, long spears, etc. They will serve as a covering force for the gunfire soldiers.

Although he has imitated the blunderbuss, Hauge still can't trust this kind of weapon. He stubbornly believes that long knives, axes and spears are reliable!

In order for these new soldiers of the Han army to distinguish between left and right as soon as possible, the officers of each team tied a wooden stick with grass to their right arms.As a sign to identify left and right.

A few coaches with scars on their heads and faces, holding short wooden sticks in their hands, yelled viciously in front of the queue: "My father, you are the ancestors! If you don't walk neatly, each of you will have three sticks, and you will be hungry!" "

At the beginning of the practice, the lineup could be described as horrible. The lineup was as crooked as an earthworm.Everyone in the queue couldn't even tell the left from the right.Under the sticks and scolding of these coaches, they gradually found the way.But it's no wonder that as long as someone is in the wrong line, those coaches can't help but come forward with sticks and beat their heads and faces.

Here, the bordered blue flag is training the new battalion according to the model brigade. Over there, the hooves are thundering and the voices are roaring, but the Han soldiers with two white flags are practicing the cavalry.

Practicing cavalry does not require formation, military discipline, formation coordination, etc. like training troops.However, it is more severe.Among other things, it is difficult to change the original coated soldiers from pure infantry to mounted infantry, the so-called dragoons.

Training cavalry is costly.There has long been a saying in the army that "one horse tops three men".In other words, one horse consumes more than three infantrymen.As for the consumption of the cavalry itself, it is even greater.On average, the cost of a cavalry unit with horses is close to that of an infantry squad.If all the tens of thousands of coated soldiers under the two white flags were turned into cavalry or cavalry, I am afraid that the entire Qing Dynasty would go bankrupt.more importantly.Cavalry is difficult to train, and cavalry must have excellent riding skills.You also have to know the habits of horses very well, especially the habits of your own mount.Maybe after half a year of hard training, you can be proficient in riding a horse, but if you want to use it to fight in formation, it won't work if you don't have a few years.However, these soldiers and horses performed by Dorgon and Duoduo brothers.It was originally intended to be used as mounted infantry to improve the mobility of the army.Therefore, the requirements for riding skills are not so high.

"The savages in the model brigade back then couldn't even ride a horse well, so they still beat Oboi, who is known as the number one warrior in Manchuria, to his bones and tendons?" Regarding the second brother's decision.Dodo agreed with both hands.

In the cavalry battle between the Model Brigade and the Two Yellow Banners at the foot of Rufeng Mountain, the cavalry of the Model Brigade smashed through Oboi's elite cavalry like a bamboo shoot, and even caused Hauge's Xianglan Banner to lose troops.This scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Dorgon brothers.Facts have proved that the cavalry team composed of Han people is not good at riding skills, but with the help of strict discipline and strict formation, there is still a good chance of winning against the cavalry who are skilled in bow and horse in the Qing Dynasty.What's more, according to the merchants, the cavalry team organized in the way of the Han people has an extremely low cost of forming an army, and even if it is consumed one by one, it cannot be consumed by the Qing Dynasty!

If the servants under the banner can become an army like the model brigade, why are we brothers afraid of Huang Taiji?

As for the horses, it is not difficult for the rich and powerful Liangbaiqi and Zhenghongqi.Wu Keshan, Prince of Horqin alone, in order to curry favor with Dorgon, sent [-] horses to the two white flags in one go under the banner of assisting in military training.These horses are all well-selected top-quality war horses that are fat, fat, and shiny.

There are people and horses, so what are you waiting for?Take advantage of Huang Taiji's illness to train the two white banner Han army cavalry!

"The servant took over this task to train the cavalry. After selecting the soldiers and forming a battalion, he practiced the tactical formation of the soldiers stepping down in the morning, and trained the riding skills the next day. When practicing the riding skills, they should follow the Southern Army's rules, only Those who can ride a bare-backed war horse for three miles without falling off the horse at one time will be regarded as passing the practice today. After half a month like this, these servants can gallop freely on the horse, and even gallop back and forth after being equipped with saddles and stirrups Running like lightning, every day the cavalry soldiers wash, drink and walk with their own horses, inspect the teeth and shoes, rub their foreheads and temples together, and knowing the nature of horses is naturally more effective."

Meile Zhangjing, who was in charge of the performance of the Han army cavalry in the Two White Banners, and Cao Zhenyan, who is now the most popular among the two white flags, proudly pointed to the team riders galloping back and forth in the distance and introduced his approach to Duoduo. Show your hard work and achievements.

Duoduo snorted from his nostrils, expressing his recognition and approval of Cao Zhenyan's achievements.Among the two white flags and the Zhenghong flag controlled by Azig, there are about 8 to [-] Han people in Baoyi and Hanjun Banner Ding Zhuang.That day, the three brothers discussed in secret that it would be best if all of these tens of thousands of people could be trained as cavalry, if it was not possible for all of them to be trained for some reason.At least five to six armored musketeers must also be trained to learn how to ride horses to improve the mobility of their troops.

After being tossed about by Cao Zhenyan for half a month, at least the original thousands of gunfire soldiers have learned to ride horses, and their movements on horseback are somewhat similar to those of the model brigade cavalry team back then.The same is staggering, and the same is advancing like a wall.Although the arrangement is not so close, but a rudiment has already appeared.

"Think of your hard work, a slave. In this way, the elite soldiers of my two white banners are probably going to be the best of the Eight Banners!"

This was originally a boastful remark, but Hauge on the side was a little unwilling to listen to it.

Hauge originally had no affection for Duduo, an uncle who was a few years younger than himself, but because of his sympathy and fear of the strength of the dozens of Manchurian cows under Duduo's name, for a while It is also helpless.Today it was Duoduo who started the conversation first, how could this make Prince Su swallow his breath?

What's more, I watched the training scene for half a day in front of me.Hauge was also bored and was looking for something to do.Although everyone knows that training is very important, it is really boring.Therefore, after a short time, Hauge felt dull.If he wasn't afraid of angering his father, maybe he would have left right away.

However, Prince Yu Duoduo at the side was full of interest, looking at the relatively neat queue on his side.Duoduo couldn't help but put a smile on the corner of his mouth, the so-called gun is the grass head king.With such a strong reserve force, is he still afraid of this stupid pig beside him?After the death of his father Khan, he has fully realized what the word strength means to him.If there were no dozens of Niulu left by his father Khan, I am afraid that the starling would have sent him to meet his father Khan and his concubine mother long ago.

There is another saying, called Jinyi Yexing, there is a problem with people.Once I feel that I have an advantage, I always want others to know, otherwise it seems like nothing.It happened that Dorgon also noticed that Hauge was yawning a bit, so Dorgon said: "Prince Su, I think it's boring to watch the drill. How about we have a military drill?"

Facing the smiling Dodo, Hauge wished he could just throw him into the Hun River to feed the fish, but he also knew that he couldn't do it now, so he said angrily: "It's just right, I also want to see my men Did the servants eat sorghum rice for nothing? But I am now training firecrackers, and our two soldiers can’t really make good medicine, so what is the result of this battle?”

Duoduo smiled slightly, asked Cao Zhenyan beside him a few words in a low voice, raised his head and said to Hauge, "That's easy to say, just load gunpowder instead of projectiles. As long as the firecrackers with the blue flags approach the two white flags to form five Ten steps, casualties are calculated on a three-to-one basis, that is to say, if you have three people in a team, and you can get close to the queue by fifty steps, you can kill one person. But the same is true for our firearms infantry. Prince Su, can you Think about it, the switching speed of my queue is relatively fast."

Hauge snorted coldly, and stopped talking to Duoduo, but ordered the slaves to notify the slaves of both parties to prepare for the military exercise.

Soon, the two sides lined up their phalanxes. After the two sides stood still, Duoduo was even more proud, because he knew that he would win.On Hauge's side, the queue was not neat, the guns were not in order, and the most important thing was that there was a line of queuing up to be shot.Of course, it doesn't mean that the line is not good, but the line needs better training and coordination to exert its power, and Hauge's infantry obviously can't do this.Therefore, I only need to withstand the three volleys of the line first, and then let the sword and shield soldiers charge, basically the victory is sealed.

Hauge was taken aback. Although Hauge is stupid, he is not stupid in war.He saw Duduo's infantry forming a goose-shaped formation, but this goose-shaped formation is different from the traditional formation. The goose wings are composed of small square formations. Although the formation looks relatively scattered, it is actually very tight and can interact with each other. support.What's more terrible is that there are a large number of artillery lined up on both sides of the phalanx, which can provide support at any time.Hauge thought about it, and it seems that the key to breaking the formation is how to get rid of these artillery.

A trumpet sounded, and the two armies slowly moved towards each other.

The scale of the main hall of Prince Rui's Mansion is small, although it is also bright, three dark and five, five spines and six beasts, and five steps, but if it is placed in the pass, it will only look like the hall of a rich landlord.The red lacquer and gold eight immortals table for lunch is placed in the East Nuan Pavilion of the main hall. The room is warm as spring and the furnishings are simple.

The lunch in Prince Rui's Mansion is only one large assorted hot pot, and there are four other dishes of meat and vegetables.At lunch time, there are male and female servants from Prince Rui's mansion to serve, and everyone is very sensible and no longer discuss military matters.The East Nuan Pavilion was silent.

Dorgon sits on the master chair covered with red felt to the north of the Table of Eight Immortals, facing due south.Dorgon is on the left, on the left of the Eight Immortals table is the seat of Shuo Tuo, the leader of the Manchurian Banner inlaid with red flags, and on the right is the seat of Adali.This pair of uncles and nephews went to the palace to pay their respects this morning, they didn't even go back to the mansion, they went directly to Prince Rui's mansion to visit.

Dorgon originally planned to watch the training outside the city.Unexpectedly, the pair of uncles and nephews came to visit unexpectedly.Fortunately, in the past few years, the relationship between Manchuria with the red flag and the two white flags has become quite close. Someone once said with envy, "The two red flags and the two white flags are too fat to wear a pair of trousers." The prince alone commands the four banners!"

Adali picked up a big and thick piece of white meat from the assorted hot pot, chewed it in his mouth, and praised indistinctly: "That's why you can eat such good dishes at Prince Rui's mansion! The cook in my mansion... No matter what, you can’t make it taste like this!”

After finishing lunch quickly, everyone followed Prince Rui back to Xinuang Pavilion.After rinsing his mouth with tea, he sat down around the Kang table again.The servants of the palace retreated quietly.Dorgon lit the pipe, took two or three puffs, and knocked the ash off the cigarette tray.

"Prince Shuotuo, Adali, come today, do you want to praise the cook in my mansion?"

Dorgon was also honest about the pair of uncles and nephews who had been supported by him with money, food and materials for many years, and who had single-handedly held the status of banner owner and Baylor.Straight to the point.

"Uncle Fourteen!" Shuotuo looked around and saw that there were only three of them in the Nuan Pavilion.No one else was there. "The two of us went to the palace today to pay our respects. It is said that the man has regained consciousness because of the acupuncture and bloodletting method performed by the imperial doctor in the palace. But because of his serious illness, he never summoned us."

"However, the civil servants of the Inner Three Courts hurriedly entered the bedroom to play right. One of my Bayara soldiers was acquainted with Fan Wencheng and Fan Zhangjing's guards. According to him, that person intends to ask for peace from the Ming Dynasty. For example, North Korea is even willing to serve the army and lend troops to the Ming Dynasty to wipe out the bandits!"

Hearing these low and urgent words.Involuntarily, Dorgon's hand holding the pipe turned white with excessive force on the joints.His face was also very serious, and he was speechless for a while.

"Uncle Fourteen, you should make up your mind on this matter earlier! If the terms of the peace agreement reach the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen will definitely agree to it. At that time, it must be our Four Banners who will enter the pass and fight the thieves desperately! Others don't know what a thief is, but Raoyu Baylor under your banner is the best example! If all our soldiers and servants are exhausted, then you, Uncle Fifteen, and our uncle and nephew will be in a difficult situation. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult than the Rao Yu Baylor in front of me!"

"Fourteenth Lord!" Adali was also quite eager, "Since the emperor raised his troops with thirteen sets of armor, why did our Qing soldiers ever have the idea of ​​surrendering to the Ming Kingdom? It has always been the soldiers and horses of the Ming Kingdom who surrendered to us. Why is it turned upside down today? Not only did he lose the title of the emperor, he lost his country title, and became a vassal of the Ming Kingdom, and we also sent our warriors to the pass to fight against the bandits for the Ming Kingdom! What is this black fat man going to do?!"

Adali was a little angry, his chest heaved and heaved uncontrollably, "Master Fourteen, if he sends troops into the pass to suppress the thieves, I'm afraid our uncle and nephew's troops will be doomed!"

"Exactly, Uncle Fourteen, it's better to say that someone else put a knife on our necks," Shuo Tuo looked around nervously, and slammed his right hand down. "Let him be unkind, and let us be unrighteous!"

But this pair of uncles and nephews came to persuade him to do something extraordinary!Dorgon settled down a lot in his heart.

"Even if that person wants to do this, I'm afraid his body may not be able to last until that day. What's more, he used the trick of negotiating peace to deceive the 10,000+ army of the Ming Dynasty. Will the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty be fooled again? "

"What's more, even if the emperor is greedy for the terms of the peace agreement he promised, he is lucky and eats but not fights. Isn't he afraid that my tiger and wolf army from the Qing Dynasty will come to the city of Beijing after crossing Shanhaiguan and take his Beijing city directly? ?"

"Also, if the ministers of the Ming Dynasty succeed in negotiating peace, and our Qing soldiers enter the pass to help suppress the thieves, where can they find a reason to continue to levy three salaries? The three salaries are tens of millions of taels, and they will eat away at them. How much, who knows?"

"However, the two of you were right in reminding you. The emperor is currently in poor health and has not recovered from his serious injury. I'm afraid there will be treacherous villains surrounding the emperor to confuse Sheng Cong. There are also people with ulterior motives who think that the emperor has grown up His son, relying on the strength of his troops, intends to do wrong things to the emperor!"

"We who are slaves naturally have to bring the emperor into consideration in everything. It is better not to let the emperor be tricked by treacherous villains and shameless lunatics!"

Dorgon's generous statement that his loyalty can be as bright as the sun and the moon can be described as righteous and strict.If others listened to it, they would definitely be moved to tears by Prince Rui's loyalty to the emperor.However, to the ears of Shuo Tuo, Adali's uncle and nephew, these words were nothing more than a mobilization order for combat.

"Uncle Fourteen (Fourteen Masters) is right! As slaves, we really can't let the emperor be tricked by those treacherous villains and shameless lunatics!"

The two left Prince Rui's mansion to rectify their troops and prepare their own affairs without mentioning anything. (To be continued..)
