Those Han people who were captured or voluntarily surrendered and became slaves did not have the right to wear armor and serve as soldiers.
Assigned to Jianzhou as a slave by Nurhachi, he could only follow his master on expeditions, and serve as a source of grass to feed horses, collect firewood for cooking, or assist the owner in robbing people and animals.
During this period, there were relatively few Han people.
But since Nurhaci has continued to win, and successively captured important towns such as Qinghe, Kaiyuan, Tieling, Guangning, Jinzhou, and Yizhou.
A large number of Han people surrendered, and these people were incorporated into civilian households and recruited into the army during wartime. They are similar to the militia recruited by Yang Fan.
This group of people was the core of the later Han Army Banner.
In the later period of Tianming, with the frequent wars, the scale became larger and larger. Due to the needs of military strategy, many Han people began to wear armor and join the army.
From this time on, the system of selecting one person from twenty to serve as a soldier was implemented. These young men are still civilians in their household registration. Not a military household registration.
This is different from the Manchurian Eight Banners’ military system of “one out of three”. In terms of military and other management systems, Han soldiers and Eight Banners soldiers are also completely different.
Nurhachi became very irritable and mediocre in his later years. The implementation of a series of incomprehensible measures led to the rapid intensification of conflicts between Manchu and Han.
His massacre policy caused an unprecedented catastrophe to many Ming Dynasty landlords, gentry, and surrendered soldiers and generals who had defected to Hou Jin Dynasty. Hardly one out of ten.
After killing poor ghosts, killing rich households and other catastrophes, the surviving Han people were in pieces and had no organized system. He was forced to reorganize it into Zhuangtun. They were divided into eight banners and given as slaves to princes, princes, and ministers.
In Nurhaci's later years, the Han soldiers were completely outlawed by him, basically disappeared, and no longer formed an army.
Only the prince-in-law Li Yongfang was deeply trusted and his troops were able to remain in an organized form.
That is to say, when Yang Fan faces this part of the army now, they are informally called the Han Army Banner. (The real Eight Banners of the Han Army were reorganized after Huang Taiji came to power, not Li Yongfang’s army. They don’t exist yet.)
"The fact that Li Yongfang's army can be preserved is related to their nature. Jiannu's intelligence system has two armies, one is the dark cavalry, and the leader is Bobai who was killed by the master himself. The other is the infantry. Right in front of you This special agent army, nicknamed the Han Banner, often disguised itself as a secret agent and sneaked into the Ming Dynasty’s cities, opening the city gates in unison,” Lin Yueru said.
"Although they are temporarily affiliated with the Zhenglan Banner, they are Nurhaci's slaves. After Nurhaci died, they were temporarily under the management of the Zhenglan Banner."
Yang Fan understood clearly that Huang Taiji should still be preparing for the so-called Eight Banners of the Han Army. The army in front of him was an outright traitor and puppet army with no national bottom line. He also worked as a detective team to spy on the Han resistance under the rule. At the same time, a large number of people sneaked into Ming Dynasty to spy on intelligence.
None of these bastards are good.
Yang Fan asked: "What are the coated slaves and the aha slaves in Jiannu? What is the difference between these two kinds of slaves?"
This is a problem that has troubled Yang Fan for a long time. For example, the Cao Xueqin family is a slave. General Nian Gengyao was a slave of the Han army in Zhengbai Banner.
It seems that promising slaves are all born in Baoyi, and I have never heard of nobles born in Aha.
Xiao Niangpi said: "Master, I know this. If you are a slave serving the master's family, you are a slave. For example, Zhang Guda and Xiang Yi are your slaves. They are the people around the master and are trusted and even favored. . So there is a great chance of being reused. Those who work and are slaves outside the family are aha. For example, the 100,000 households below are farming."
At this time, the two armies had stopped advancing and were facing each other about fifty meters apart.
Li Yongfang didn't have a telescope. When he walked to the confrontation between the two armies, he saw clearly that the gray patch on the opposite side was not clothes at all. But the whole body armor and stomach.
These armor stomachs are not at all like those of the Ming and Jin Dynasties. It is a pure metal armor stomach. And it doesn't consist of armor pieces, it's all large pieces of solid metal. It looks very flexible, and the workmanship looks very sophisticated.
These armor stomachs are completely covered from head to toe. Even the backs of the hands and the outsides of the fingers are covered in sections with metal sheets, and the insides are chainmail gloves. It's okay even if you grab the sword with your bare hands.
Even the surface is frosted and does not reflect light in the sun. It seems that even a sneak attack at night is not easy to be discovered. Because it does not reflect fire light.
His Han army was fairly well equipped. Only one of the five was wearing armor. This difference in equipment made him gasp and almost fall off his horse.
The weapons on the other side were also very strange, he had never seen them before.
A spear is not a spear, and a spear is not a spear. Under the spearhead, there is a sickle-like hook with two blades on the left, and an axe-shaped one on the right. The long pole is actually flat, a full foot long.
He was an old man and an intelligence officer. He immediately understood that these strange weapons should be a special kind of halberd. The curved hook was used to kill horizontally, or to hook into the cavalry's armor. Used by cavalrymen from their horses.
He was a personal participant in the Battle of Hunhe River in Shenyang. The spears of the white-poled soldiers at that time also had a small steel hook, but they were not as big as this and did not look as sophisticated.
At that time, a large number of charging Eight Banners cavalry were unhorsed by these hooks and sickles, and were either stabbed to death or captured alive.
At that time, Shi Shan reported to Nurhaci: "The infantry of the Ming Dynasty are all elite soldiers, brave and good at fighting, and they will not retreat. One of our generals and two guerrillas were captured. The generals charged bravely, but were defeated by the Sichuan army first. (white flag), and defeated the yellow standard soldiers (i.e. yellow flag), killing two to three thousand people who fell off their horses."
At that time, the Sichuan barracks was very strong, and Hou Jin attacked many times to no avail. "Thousands of people from the powerful Eight Banners army were killed by crossbows," and Nurhachi was anxious to "come to the rescue with his rear troops."
However, after increasing the number of troops, there was still a stalemate without any progress.
At that time, it was his own idea to the Great Khan to use the Luzon bronze cannon on the Shenyang city wall to bombard the white-armed soldiers to clear up the mess.
Li Yongfang rushed to Shenyang and found the Ming Dynasty artilleryman who had just been captured in Shenyang. He personally untied the gunner and was rewarded with a thousand gold coins. He persuaded the artillery staff general He Shiyan to use the captured heavy artillery and drag it to the front of the formation with oxen to attack the Sichuan army.
At that time, these cannons played a huge role. The twenty-four pound artillery shells directly destroyed the white pole soldiers' formation.
Those who were hit by the cannon were all shattered. One shot and one bloody alley.
After a fierce battle, the Sichuan army was finally hungry and fatigued, unable to support itself, and all were wiped out.
Today, I actually saw these strange weapons here again. Unfortunately, I did not have the support of the red cannon team at this time.
His palms were covered in cold sweat, and he began to regret taking this job.
However, Dajin's military discipline was very strict, and he did not dare to retreat without permission, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"Archers from the rear team, fire heavy arrows. Attack from the front team!" Li Yongfangsheng ordered.
The Eight Banners' bows are all heavy bows and can only fire heavy arrows. Their infantry bows are not longer than 1.8 meters long without stringing. Because the power of the bow is huge, when firing light arrows, the power cannot be completely consumed, and the remaining energy will damage the bow body. Therefore, it can only fire heavy arrows of one meter and two meters.
Li Yongfang secretly hoped that the heavy arrow could penetrate their armor. Otherwise, this battle would be really difficult to fight.
