“Currently, the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Guards Battalion who have completed training total eight thousand headquarters. Among them, the first, second, and fourth infantry and the first thousand cavalry headquarters have experienced actual combat, and the third, fifth, sixth, and sixth infantry headquarters have experienced actual combat. And the Cavalry 2,000 Headquarters has not yet experienced actual combat. With the increase in the number of candidates for the Ming Dynasty Lecture Hall and the increase in the number of conscripts, there are more than 3,000 Quasi-Yelin Guards in training. It will not be a problem to organize three more Infantry Thousand Headquarters. But currently they cannot be reorganized into cavalry, mainly because there are not many who are suitable to be cavalry, even heavy armored cavalry."
Wenhua Hall.
Xu Guangqi and Lu Jiude reported to Zhu Youxiao on the expansion and training of the Yulin Guards Battalion, and Xu Guangqi was the first to speak at this time.
Lu Jiude then added: "The Yulinwei Logistics Battalion has sixteen Thousand Headquarters. In addition to the Logistics Battalion's 1,000 Headquarters and the 2,000 Headquarters, which along with the 4,000 Headquarters participated in pacifying the Anbangyan Rebellion, None of them have experienced actual combat yet, but there are currently more than 6,000 quasi-Habayashi guards in the logistics battalion in training. Because the quasi-Habayashi guards in the logistics camp are basically selected and eliminated during the recruitment of Guards battalion soldiers, so There are a large number of people, but it is too wasteful to use them all as a logistics battalion, because the scale of the Guards battalion is not large now, and there is no need for many logistics battalion soldiers and horses to provide auxiliary troops for the Guards battalion soldiers. Therefore, the slave believes that, If the Yulin Guards recruited next are no longer able to become Guards Battalion Yulin Guards, they should all be sent back to their hometowns instead of staying in the Logistics Battalion."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand: "We cannot be demobilized. He who can stay in the logistics camp is still considered a good young man. If he is demobilized and returned to his hometown, he will easily be recruited by local powerful people as a warrior to protect the hospital. This will become an important factor for local powerful people to fight against the imperial control." Since the logistics battalion could not use so many people, it was organized into a patrol battalion, responsible for the internal security and defense of Huangzhuang, Tianjin, and Qufu. This was done. After the Xu Qing family returned to the cabinet, they immediately planned and established a The decree of the Habayashi Guard Patrol Battalion.”
"I obey the decree!"
Xu Guangqi replied.
"yes!"
Lu Jiude also replied.
Then, Zhu Youxiao said to Xu Guangqi: "Since the Guards Battalion has nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers who have completed training, we will add another establishment;
Proposal: The Guards Camp will be changed to the Guards Town! There are two battalions. The first infantry battalion who has participated in actual combat and the third and fifth thousand infantry headquarters who have not participated in actual combat are combined into the first infantry battalion of Guards Town. Zhou Yuji is appointed as guerrilla battalion, and Lu Xiang is promoted to chief instructor. official;
The 2nd, 4th, and 6,000th Infantry Headquarters who had experienced actual combat were combined into the 2nd Battalion of Guards Town, with Ma Xianglin as the battalion guerrilla and Zhang Tongchang as the general instructor;
The 1,000th Cavalry Headquarters and the 2,000th Cavalry Headquarters were combined to form the 1st Battalion of the Guards Town Cavalry. Huang Degong served as the battalion guerrilla and commander of the 1,000th Cavalry Headquarters as well as the training officer. Niu Yong served as the chief training officer and the 1,000th Cavalry Headquarters. General and training officer. "
"yes!"
Xu Guangqi replied.
Zhu Youxiao continued: "The 1st Battalion of Guards Town and the 1,000th Headquarters of the 1st Cavalry Battalion will be transferred to Liaodong first to continue training with Donglu!
I heard that the strength of Donglu lies in the size of more than 3,000 people, the ability to give unified orders, and the coordination and cooperation of all banners. However, once our Ming army exceeds 3,000 people, the good fighters are all servants of each general and cannot fight together. , you can only fight with the wind, and you will definitely lose once you are frustrated;
Therefore, I would like to see if my Yulin Guards can fight against Donglu once the number of our Yulin Guards exceeds 3,000! "
"As your Majesty said, I and all the veteran generals in the Jiangwu Hall have this opinion. In terms of bravery and cavalry and shooting, the generals and servants of our Ming Dynasty are no less than or even slightly better than the Donglu! Especially Qi, Ma, You, Cao, These generals of Du, with their family knowledge and tactics accumulated since Taizu raised the army, are not inferior to those of the Eastern captives, but the slave chiefs of the Eastern captives are quite capable of running the army and the people, and they use the Eight Banners system to make the Jurchens also farmers. It is also a soldier, and it has reached the point where it can order and prohibit whether it is farming or fighting!"
Xu Guangqi agreed at this time.
"The Yulin Guards now have ten thousand people, and we must continue to implement strict military discipline and combat systems! We must still win, and win completely, when fighting Donglu of the same size!
Not only the scale of 10,000 people, but also the scale of 100,000 or even millions of people will be the same in the future. However, the requirements for commanders will be higher, so the training of troop leaders must also be strengthened at all times. The troop leaders after the Ming Dynasty will not be able to Just because you are brave can be reused, you must have the talent to coordinate! "
As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he suddenly asked Xu Guangqi: "How is the preparation of sweet potatoes and potatoes from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences?"
"It has entered the promotion stage."
Xu Guangqi replied.
"That being the case, you will then be responsible for promoting sweet potatoes and potatoes in the fields, especially potatoes in the colder Liaodong and northern parts of the pass. The post of Minister of the Ministry of War will be held by Xiong Tingbi. Yuan Keli will be transferred to Liaodong as manager. Zhu Xieyuan will succeed Yuan Keli, but Liaodong In this regard, Yuan Keli must be explained clearly first, so that he remembers to follow the current strategy adopted by the imperial court and Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong. However, he cooperated with Xiong Tingbi when he was the governor of Liaodong. There is no need to worry, but it must be reminded that the governor of Liaodong is still Sun Chuanting. Assuming responsibility, with these two people in Liaodong, it doesn’t matter even if Xiong Tingbi returns to Beijing, let Xiong Tingbi come back as the Minister of War to cultivate generals who can lead the army!"
Zhu Youxiao ordered.
After hearing this, Xu Guangqi hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty! Xiong Tingbi has been in the border area for a long time and has commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. He was able to keep the Eastern captives at bay and was repelled more than ten times. This shows that his ability to control generals and troops is unparalleled. Returning to Beijing can also play the role of Tan Xiangmin, but Yuan and Sun are very talented as Xiong but are better at dealing with civil and military affairs than Xiong. In my opinion, they may be more effective than Xiong in Liaodong."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "I hope so. If these two people can do better than Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong, then great things will be accomplished if we destroy the Donglu in the future!"
"It is very important for Aiqing to promote new crops in the fields. His Donglu is a combination of farmers and soldiers, but I intend that the strong soldiers belong only to the court and to me. They are not involved in farming and farming, but are only responsible for fighting. Therefore, we need the support of the people. If the production is rich enough, we can raise more and stronger soldiers. In addition, only in this way can the people become richer. If the people are richer, the country will be stronger, and the Eastern barbarians and other foreign barbarians will not be able to become our opponents of the Ming Dynasty. This time the capital The refugees can settle down, which makes the business in Tianjin area of the capital more active, and the people around are able to get rid of poverty and become rich, which makes it difficult for the Donglu to set up agents in the Ming Dynasty and inquire about the important affairs of the government!"
Zhu Youxiao then spoke again.
"I respectfully listen to the Holy Instructions, and please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will promote new crops, do a good job in farming, and promote various farm tools and waterwheels newly manufactured by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, so that the Ming Dynasty's farming will be better!"
Xu Guangqi replied.
…
As Zhu Youxiao said, since the imperial court used the taxes collected from Jiangnan to feed the refugees in the capital and stimulate the local economy, the people in the capital and Tianjin area have indeed increased their income a lot.
At this time, Dong Dahe, who was using his identity as a salesman as a cover, couldn't help but said to Muguoer, who was also a Donglu craftsman: "I don't want to go back to Daikin to bring news to the masters! I pick goods to sell here for a day. The harvest is more than the rent collected by Master Zhang Jing of Daikin!"
"The same goes for me. I can feed myself every day just by selling game to the people in the city. It's much better than going back to Daikin. I heard that even the masters are going hungry in Daikin now!"
Mugol also said.
Therefore, Dong Dahe said: "Then we won't go back and just stay in Ming Dynasty and be Han Chinese."
"Um!"
Mugol nodded.
…
"You're telling me that there are fewer and fewer people coming back with news now, and all the people I had contact with in the past have disappeared?!"
After hearing the report from Liu Aita and Li Yongfang, Nurhaci asked in a bad tone.
