Bannerman! A group that cannot be avoided in the history of the Qing Dynasty. You can say that they are decadent and declining, you can say that they are not enterprising, and you can call them all dandies!
But it is undeniable that the Eight Banners system did help the Manchus achieve military centralization. It was this military centralization system in which all people were soldiers that defeated the Han legions, which were numerous but loose and weak!
So what if the Han population is large? So what if productivity is high? Can accumulated wealth be transformed into fighting power?
The Eight Banners system is not just a few paragraphs or dozens of words in textbooks. In real history, it is a blood-related military centralized organization!
When the war actually breaks out, the troops on the Han side are all for the idle men who serve as soldiers and eat food, or in other words, the landless people who are coerced here!
Although there are outstanding talents among the generals, a tiger leading a group of sheep with discord has no fighting ability!
On the other side, the Eight Banners Army, if they were to go to the battlefield, there would be no one who would not work hard and no one would not sacrifice their lives!
why? Because it’s impossible if we don’t fight hard. On the left side of the battle formation is my cousin, on the right is my uncle, and the one charging at the front is my future uncle!
Even the flag master who led the troops in the war was his uncle from far away!
The Eight Banners are married to each other and locked by blood. They have long become a military group that is not engaged in production but only robbery!
The comrades around you are all blood relatives. If you don’t work hard, who will? You don't have to protect your father's flank with your life, do you still want to escape?
This is not a matter of one or two people, but the entire Eight Banners Army. All of them have broken bones and tendons. How can such a military group have no fighting capacity?
You must work hard, because everyone knows that if you don’t work hard, your whole family will be killed!
Behind? Can we still say that the Manchus outside the Pass are backward? If this military system is backward, how else can we use adjectives for the defeated Han Chinese army in the Central Plains?
A blood relative! A blood relative!
Now Yixuan is facing such a problem. These gray-haired old men are holding out battle clothes that are hundreds of years old or even older!
Armor, swords, crossbows...even old yellow jackets and some gadgets given by the emperor!
Each item can tell a bloody story. Did you know that the armor was used during the War of San Francisco? Do you know if the broken gap on the sword was made when Galdan fought hard?
Faced with such a group of blood relatives, how could Yixuan order a suppression? He said tremblingly, "You are all the meritorious descendants of the Qing Dynasty...you should be more sensible!"
"My ancestors have spirits in heaven, and they don't want to see you like this!"
"Everyone get up! Get out of the way...release all the detained officers and soldiers...I promise you that there will be no involvement, and the money for moving the tomb will definitely not be lost to everyone!"
"Your Majesty!" someone in the crowd shouted, "It's not that the slaves don't believe what the Prince says! I really can't believe it... The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs clearly said this morning that they wouldn't give me any money!"
"Is Master Chenghou Baylor noble enough? Talking to him is useless. Prince Lao Li can't even take charge of his own manor. How can we believe it?"
"Then what do you want? What on earth do you want!" Yixuan yelled.
"Your Majesty...please, Your Majesty, have mercy on us poor people who can't survive. It's really hard for us to leave our homeland!"
"I beg the prince to appeal to Lord Long Live, please Lord Long Live for mercy... The Qing Dynasty doesn't want our five or six hundred hectares of land in Qinghe, right? Can we change the place?"
"Fangshan, Liangxiang, Nanyuan... Tongzhou, what place is not good? Do you have to come to our Qinghe to build this steel plant? The Qing Dynasty doesn't lack our land, right?"
"That's right! Change the place, please ask the court to change the place!" Six thousand people roared collectively, frightening the more than a thousand people in the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion to the point where their faces turned pale!
"Nonsense! Is this negotiable? Don't you even obey His Majesty's orders..."
Before Yixuan could finish his words, a cry of killing suddenly came from the west of the chaotic scene, and finally there was a burst of intensive gunshots!
"Ah!" Yi Xuan suddenly turned his head, "New Yulin Army?"
That's right, it was Ma Ming and his new Yulin Army. They were originally a company of soldiers who had the role of supervising the battlefield. At this moment, they were suddenly attacked by thousands of local people.
These angry people in Qinghe were more or less polite to Prince Chun, but when they found out that there were a hundred new Yulin troops here, they went crazy!
The pride of the banner men at the feet of the emperor cannot be erased from their bones, and except for the officers of the Yulin New Army, who are all banner men, the rest are all mountain people in Wuyi Mountain!
In the eyes of these bannermen, this is a group of southern barbarians! In addition, some people had deliberately and continuously smeared these new armies and poured the chaos of the capital on their heads. The bannermen had already complained about these new armies!
"Look...it's the Southern Barbarians from Wuyi Mountain! These are the bastards. Ever since they entered the capital, things have never been better in the Four-Nine Cities!"
"Because they killed so many people! They were the ones who caused the airship killings! It's these bastards who seduced Lord Long Live to learn the bad things!"
"Get out... get out!" More and more people rushed over and threw rocks, and the crackling sound made Ma Ming's position unable to raise its head!
As expected, the New Army learned the essence of Chinese military training. Although it was only a temporary mission, they also dug a lot of individual soldier pits, formed crossfires, and deployed light and dark sentries!
A company's circular defense, one hundred Mauser guns, three thousand rounds of ammunition, and more than two hundred grenades were enough for Ma Ming and the others to hold on in the middle of the night!
However, their mission tonight is not to kill people. Ma Ming ordered everyone to strictly guard their positions and must not fight back or scold them. As long as their lives are not a threat, they are not allowed to fight back!
At first, only dozens of common people discovered these new imperial troops, and then they spread the news to hundreds of people, and more and more people gathered!
Stones are like rain, curses are like thunder! The banner people in Sijiucheng are naturally quick-talking. When it comes to swearing, they are really good at it. When they change their voice, it is sonorous and powerful!
My ancestors started scolding me, and their home was about to be demolished. When I was so angry, I was not as restrained in cursing as usual!
He directly attacked all the female relatives of the other party's family, scolding Ma Ming and others so bloody that they almost lost their heads in anger!
"Stop it! The military order is like a mountain. No matter how much they scold you, you are not allowed to talk back or make a move... Oops!" That Sanbao was maintaining discipline in the team, and a piece of cow dung flew out of nowhere and was directly stuck in his mouth. .
Vomit... That Sambo is disgusting. He vomited while lying on a small tree stump.
Not only horse dung, but also rocks, dirt, and broken bricks were thrown over, mixed with increasingly louder and louder curses!
Do you know what it means to be crazy? Do you know what it means to beat a coward to death? Ma Ming and the others are really eye-opening today!
These common people suddenly discovered that these new troops were quite cowardly! I don't dare to talk back or fight back at all... Hahaha... You are picking a soft toad!
I am the legendary master who catches a toad and soaks it in urine!
"Young and old men! These are cowards... rush up and beat them up!"
