The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

"And then, let's prepare for a big parade outside the Zhengyang Gate in the capital!"

"One is to show the might of the army, and it is used to frighten the hearts of the world!"

"The second is to see Hong Chengchou off and boost the morale of the Southern Expedition Army!"

Bumbutai arranged things in an orderly manner.

Aobai and the others bowed and agreed, then left the South Study Room and went to arrange their own affairs.

Bumbutai sighed, his brows and eyes were full of exhaustion.

Now she is no longer young, but she still has to work hard for the government every day, and worry about her grandson's country.

As she gets older and loses energy, she feels more and more powerless in the face of those complicated government affairs!
Over the past few days, she has aged faster and faster, and most of her hair has turned into silver threads.

Looking from a distance, it's all gray!
The smile on the face is also less and less.

Only when he saw his grandson Xuanye, did Bumbutai have such a sincere smile on his old face!

……

The four of them left the South Study Room, Oboi didn't even look at the other three, he flicked his horseshoe sleeves and walked towards the outside of the palace.

The relationship between the four is not harmonious, and there are already signs of party struggle.

If it wasn't for the old lady Bumbutai sitting in the Forbidden City, the four of them would have already fought in the court.

Aobai was too lazy to talk to those three guys!
At this moment, a call came from behind.

"Oboi, Oboi, slow down a bit, wait for me!"

"I have something to tell you!"

Sukesaha strode towards Ao Bai.

Hearing this, Aobai subconsciously stopped, looked back with a frown, and asked.

"What's the matter with me?"

Seeing this scene, the rest of Sony, Ye Bilong, also cast his gaze towards this side, the two looked at each other, and walked towards this side.

Sukesaha came to Ao Bai, and Ao Bai asked.

"what happened?"

The attitude is very cold.

Suksaha took a breath and spoke.

"Oboi, aren't you worried about the Jiangnan incident?"

Aobai raised his eyebrows and replied.

"Hasn't the Empress Dowager already made a decision on this matter? I will just follow orders."

Seeing Sony and Ye Bilong also approaching, Sukesaha continued to speak.

"I'm not talking about the aftermath of this war, but about the decline in the strength of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Don't tell me you didn't feel it, the strength of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty has declined sharply recently!"

Regarding the battle between the Ming army and the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River, Suksaha had read the detailed battle report.

In the battle of the south of the Yangtze River, the number of participating troops of the Ming army was only about 2!
Even including the Green Battalion soldiers who surrendered to the Ming army, their strength did not exceed 5000.

In that battle, the total strength of the Qing Army's Green Battalion plus the Eight Banners was almost the same!
As a result, the Qing army was defeated!
The Battle of the Five Thousand and Eight Banners came to naught!
This battle directly showed the decline of the Eight Banners' armed forces in front of the eyes of the world.

If in the past, the Ming army fought against the Qing army, let alone [-] green battalions helped in the battle!
Even without the 2 Green Battalion, if the [-] Eight Banners faced the [-] Ming Army, it would definitely be a crushing situation!

But now?

Five thousand and eight banners plus [-] green battalions, against the same number of Ming troops, were wiped out in one battle.

Didn't even last a day!

If it hadn't been for Tulehun's decision to retreat to Qixia Mountain, the five thousand and eight banners would have been wiped out without waiting for the Ming army to attack with fire.

Over the years, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners soldiers has declined too much!

Even if the reference used to compare the combat power of the Eight Banners is the elite Ming Dynasty Restoration Army, not the original useless Ming Army.

The decline in combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners soldiers is also quite obvious!

Obai and the other three people nodded slightly when they heard Sukesaha's words, obviously, they agreed with Sukesaha's words.

Suksaha then spoke.

"To my Qing Dynasty, the most important thing is not the aftermath of the Jiangnan War, but how to revive the Eight Banners' fighting power!"

"The invincible soldiers of the Eight Banners are the foundation of my Qing Dynasty!"

Aobai also sighed, and said helplessly in his voice.

"It's only been a few years since I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, and the strength of the Eight Banners has declined to such an extent."

"It's really not easy to sit firmly in the Huahua River and Mountains of the Central Plains!"

"The prosperity and wealth of the Central Plains really test the combat effectiveness of the army!"

"Soaking in the nest of wealth and honor in the Central Plains, no matter how strong the army is, it will be exhausted!"

"It can't be said that I am in the Qing Dynasty, and I will still have to return to the land of Longxing in Liaodong in the future!"

It was too easy to fight the Qing Dynasty, and it was almost like the autumn wind swept away the whole world.

So much so that the Qing court felt a little unreal about being able to rule the Central Plains!

The war inside the pass is not going well, so they will naturally have the idea of ​​returning to their hometown outside the pass.

When the San Francisco Rebellion broke out in history, the Qing court prepared to leave customs and return to Liaodong more than once.

If it wasn't for Kangxi's pressure, I'm afraid that at that time, I, the Qing Dynasty, would return to the outside of the pass and occupy the Northeast!
Sonny spoke.

"That's true. Liaodong outside the customs is the foundation of my Qing Dynasty."

"However, the decline of the army's combat power also needs to be taken seriously. If the army is weak, even if my Qing Dynasty withdraws from the pass, I'm afraid I won't be able to defend it!"

Ye Bilong, who has never talked much, also spoke.

"It is quite necessary to gather soldiers and horses for grand parades from time to time, to test the cavalry and archery skills of the cavalry, to organize large-scale hunting and hunting, and to maintain the bloodiness of the army."

"If necessary, perhaps all the Eight Banners soldiers should be dragged into the battlefield to fight and see blood."

The biggest reason for the decline in the combat power of the Eight Banners soldiers is not that they were softened by the glory and wealth after entering the Central Plains, nor is it that the veterans of the previous generations of the Eight Banners all died due to various reasons.

It was because of a mistake in the Qing court's war strategy!

Now when the Qing court is fighting, the Eight Banners soldiers are generally not allowed to go into battle. The Green Battalion soldiers are the main force, and the Eight Banners are in charge of the battle.

It can be said that the current Eight Banners soldiers have very little chance of seeing blood on the battlefield.

The veterans of the Eight Banners who have seen blood in the older generation have basically died due to various reasons.

Most of the remaining Eight Banners soldiers are recruits who have never seen blood.

In this way, how could the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army continue to decline like a cliff? !

Coupled with the fact that Manchus and Hans do not intermarry, the population of the Eight Banners has been in a state of constant decline.

The Qing Dynasty was even more reluctant to let the Eight Banners soldiers go to the battlefield to practice!
A truly strong army is forged from blood and fire.

Without the opportunity to experience on the battlefield, no matter how good the training is, it will not become a strong army.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the combat power of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties fell precipitously was because of the Qing court itself!

……

Hong Chengchou left the palace, looked at the red bricks and gold tiles behind him, and the dense sky, he slowly let out a foul breath.

The twilight on his body became more and more obvious!
The domestic servant waiting outside the palace hurried forward to hold Hong Chengchou, and then helped him onto the sedan chair.

When Hong Chengchou sat down, the servant yelled.

"Get up!"

With the sound of shouting, the sedan chair was lifted by four strong men, and it swayed towards the Hong Mansion in the outer city.

That's right, Hong Chengchou, who won most of the southern kingdom for the Manchu Qing, is not even qualified to live in the inner city.

With the shaking of the sedan chair, the bearers raised and lowered their legs to save their energy.

Hong Chengchou closed his eyes and fell asleep in the sedan chair, his body swayed with the ups and downs of the sedan chair, silently reviewing what happened in the palace today.

Thinking about the details of Nanzheng!
Suddenly, Hong Chengchou's complexion changed, and he opened his eyes suddenly, a pair of cloudy old eyes were full of fear and fear!
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something stupid today.
