Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 206 Qianlong's Great Eight Banners
December 1793, the 12th year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty.

Naturalized outside the city.

It was cold and windy.

But this year it hasn't snowed yet, and the withered pastures have dyed the grassland a miserable gray.

On the endless gray grassland, flags of various colors fluttered under the cold wind.

It can be seen from the flag.

In addition to the eight banners of the Mongolian Eight Banners, there are sixteen and 49 banners of Monan Mongolia.

The Eight Banners of Mongolia and Monan Mongolia were the inner feudal barriers that the Qing court relied heavily on.

The Eight Banners of Mongolia are basically not much different from the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Banners born in the Eight Banners of Mongolia can also occupy high positions and get more opportunities than the Han people.

In addition to the sixteen 49 banners of Monan Mongolia.

The flags of the four tribes of Chechen Khan, Tuxietu Khan, Zhasaktu Khan, and Saiyinnuoyan are also included.

Among them, the Eight Banners Mongolia has [-] cavalry, Monan Mongolia has [-] cavalry, and Mobei Mongolia has [-] cavalry!
This is one hundred thousand Mongolian soldiers.

In the era of Genghis Khan, [-] Mongolian cavalry were enough to fight from Liaodong to the Aegean coast.

But this time.

Chechen Khan Qiwangdorji, Tushetu Khan Minjurdorji, Zasaktu Khan Buni Ratina.

And there is no Khan position, but was conferred by the Qing court as the super brave prince Zasak (banner leader) Lawangdorji, the four leaders of Khalkha Mongolia in Mobei, and Zhasak of the 49 Banner of Monan The Sakers all rode behind Emperor Qianlong and were inspecting the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers pulled out from Beijing not long ago.

Guns roared, and the Eight Banners of Mongolia imitated the dragoons of the Ming army to organize rangers equipped with a large number of muskets, as well as the heavily armored cavalry of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, especially the infantry of the Eight Banners of Manchuria equipped with a large number of mortars and field artillery.

After some practice.

This large formation is as quiet as a forest, and the firearms are as aggressive as fire. These Mongols who have never seen the world, and are taught by the Yellow Sect to be less fierce than Genghis Khan's era saw and feared in their eyes.

"How? Can I have a look at my army?"

Satisfied, Qianlong turned his head to look at the four Khalkha Mongolian leaders.

Several people showed smiles and complimented.

"The emperor is invincible!"

"With such heavenly soldiers, how can the Han emperor fight against them?"

"It's really the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners!"

Hearing the compliments from several people, the smile on Qianlong's face did not diminish.

But he sighed in his heart.

Compared with before.

The current Eight Banners soldiers are indeed very good.

Under the threat of national subjugation and genocide, these Eight Banners disciples in Beijing did not dare to pick their picks casually during practice.

I can also suffer a little bit.

The queue is also looking good.

More critical is.

Under the guidance of craftsmen sent from Britain, Asbania and other countries, the Qing Dynasty was also able to produce flintlock guns, field artillery, and advanced weapons and equipment such as granulated black powder and wooden shells.

Equipped with a large number of small-bore mortars and field guns.

The current Eight Banners is no longer pursuing the proficiency in hand-to-hand combat.

It is to pursue a neat formation, and what is practiced is not horseback riding and archery, but the loading of muskets while marching, and the coordination of line infantry and artillery.

Such an army of the Eight Banners, which has completed the reform of new weapons, can fight even against their ancestors.

But now the opponent they need to face is the Ming army whose muskets and artillery are far sharper than theirs.

Coupled with the current Eight Banners, the general military leaders from Qianlong to the following basically have "phobia".

Even Qianlong himself did not have much confidence in bringing such a decent-looking army to fight against the Ming army.

But it is still very useful to pull it out on the grassland to frighten the Mongolian bumpkins who have never seen the world.

It can be seen from the equipment of both sides.

The current Mongols still hold bows and arrows hundreds of years ago, and their current archery skills are not as good as the Mongolian soldiers in the Genghis Khan era.

Gone are the days of bows and scimitars.

Not to mention the Mongolian tribes that are now divided into fragments by the Qing court.

Even if there is another Khan in Mongolia now to unify the tribes of Mongolia.

The Mongolian warriors with bows and scimitars are no longer opponents of muskets and artillery.

not to mention.
Just look at the appearance of the three Khans and one Zasak in Nakhalka.

Today's Mongols no longer have the bravery of their ancestors—have you ever seen Genghis Khan's sons and grandchildren as cowardly as these Borjijin?
"It's a pity, now is not the era when prairie men can rule the world with bows and scimitars, but now is the era of muskets and artillery."

Qianlong was wearing yellow armor and an iron helmet on his head.

Holding the horse with one hand.

The waist is very straight.

Looks pretty spirited.

This is of course to be seen by these Mongolians.

"If you want to compare muskets and artillery, how can the grassland compare to the Central Plains?" Qianlong turned his head and looked at the leaders of the four Khalkha tribes.

"This great emperor, the Han people have gained power again, so what should we do?"

It was Prince Chaoyong who spoke, Saiyinuoyanbu Zhakrawangdorji.

Although it is said that there is no Khan in the Saiyinuoyan tribe, its Zhasak has a close relationship with the Qing court, and it can be regarded as the sand mixed by the Qing court in Khalkha Mongolia.

Lavandorje himself is the forehead of Qianlong's daughter Gu Lun and Princess Jing.

In the 36th year of Qianlong, Lavandorji's grandfather Cering passed away, and he was favored by his grandfather Prince Chaoyong.

In the 40th year of Qianlong's reign, he was appointed as the Minister of Internal Guards, and served as Qianlong's gatekeeper and security chief in the Forbidden City for more than ten years.

It can be said that he was one of Qianlong's most trusted Mongolian ministers.

However, although Lavandorje was the super brave prince, he was actually very cowardly, and he didn't dare to offend Qianlong at all, and he carried out Qianlong's orders without compromise.

Now that the master and servant are singing together, it is obvious that they have rehearsed a long time ago.

"Manchuria and Mongolia are one body. There are hundreds of millions of Han people in this world. How many people are there in the Manchu and Mongolian tribes? If we don't unite sincerely, I'm afraid that the Han people will come to sweep up the grasslands in the future and seal wolves into Xuxu." Qianlong shook his head and said.

"The Han people have heroes born every few hundred years. However, the heroes of the Han people are a great disaster for us and other grassland tribes. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di also swept the North several times, but the Mongolian tribes had to flee far away." Lavandorji said with a sigh.

"Now that the Ming Dynasty has been restored again, this time...the Han people who have the most powerful muskets and cannons in the world may really be able to wipe out the Manchurians!"

Qianlong looked up at the sky and sighed.

This was not just to frighten the other three Khalkha Khans.

But he really has such worries.

Qianlong was actually a very smart monarch.

Under his rule, the Eight Banners, which had been rotten, recovered a lot. At least the Qianlong Dynasty could still send the Eight Banners to fight - but in fact, in the middle and late Kangxi period, the Eight Banners were almost impossible to fight.

Qianlong was able to restore the Eight Banners' ability to fight by spending money.

In fact, it is already remarkable.

And he is also very accurate in seeing the general trend of the world.

After pen pal Louie was publicly performed decapitation.

He immediately realized that the various ideas floating in Europe were harmful to the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and immediately strengthened the control of the border and the literary prison unprecedentedly, and more severely suppressed the thoughts of the Han people.

Standing on the full point of view.

This Lord Qianlong is really a wise master.

And under such circumstances, it is not easy for him to pull out an army relying on the Eight Banners to frighten the Mongols on the grassland.

really.

Frightened by Qianlong and Lavandor Jizu, master and servant.

The cold sweat on the foreheads of the three Khalkha Khans began to flow out continuously.

Genocide.

It's terrible.

The Eight Banners Celestial Soldiers in front of them are already so terrifying.

How terrible is the Ming army that can't even defeat the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers?
It seems that the thighs of the Qing Dynasty are not thick enough.

Is it too late to hug Daming's thigh now?
It is different from Monan Mongolia, which is almost completely controlled.

The Khalkha Three Khans still have considerable autonomy and strength.

The combination of three troops can pull out more than 3 cavalry.

The strength is still there.

And
It is not Khalkha Mongolia that offended the Han people too much.

It's you Manchurians, plus the Horqin Ministry at most.

The rest of us Mongolians are innocent.

We are honest herdsmen who graze on the grasslands, and usually just pay tribute to the Buddhas.

They are all good Mongolians who believe in Buddhism.

It is different from you Manchus who bully Han people.

The Ming emperor is so wise, he must have known it.
Moreover, it was hundreds of years ago when the Mongols were very fierce. What's more, the Han people also took revenge in those days. Zhu Di was so fierce back then. Monan was basically emptied, and not many Mongolian tribes were killed. people.

The deep hatred of the year will be cleared up.

Now Daming is up again.

This time, apart from Horqin, the other Mongols did not get much benefit.

Certainly not worthy of being exterminated.

However, he definitely did not dare to say this in front of Qianlong.

Although the Khalkha Khans all consider themselves honest and good Mongols.

But they also have a heart, and they will definitely not be so stupid.

Seeing the three conscientious and honest Khan kings say nothing.

Qianlong snorted coldly in his heart.

Fortunately, before they went to contact the Ming Dynasty, they were transferred to Guihua City to meet the League.

Otherwise, the three Khans must be treated like a fool.

Now that the three King Khans are here, they must not be sent back to Mobei casually.

This is a top priority concerning whether the Qing Dynasty can preserve the country outside the pass.

"So now we all have to unite! Only by uniting can we find a way out!"

"Emperor, how can we unite?"

Lavandorzi must be a good laugh.

"Naturally, we will hold the Eight Banners!"

"Big Eight Banners?"

The three Khan kings looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Emperor, what is the Great Eight Banners?"

Chechen Khan Chiwan Dorji asked cautiously.

"Naturally, it is necessary to completely integrate Manchuria and Mongolia. I will merge the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Eight Banners of Manchuria to form the Great Eight Banners regardless of Manchuria and Mongolia. At the same time, I will recruit warriors from Monan and Mobei to enrich the Great Eight Banners. You and the kings of Khan don’t need to worry about fighting, just concentrate on grazing, and let the big eight banners take full responsibility for the fighting.”

Qianlong said.

This is actually a replica of the "banner general Han soldiers" in Han.

It's just replacing Han soldiers with Mongolian soldiers.

Originally, the Banners of Monan and the four tribes of Khalkha Mongolia all had the right to lead troops.

But now Qianlong wants to directly recruit herdsmen in Monan and Mobei as soldiers, cutting the power of the four chiefs of the banners Zasak and Khalkha.

At the same time, by absorbing the strength of various Mongolian tribes, it became the Great Eight Banners regardless of Manchurian and Mongolian.

Completely control the warriors on the grassland.

As such.

When Qianlong arrived on the grassland, he was able to make a decision with one word, and he had almost the same power as when the Han Dynasty was the emperor.

"What? Don't you want to?"

Qianlong saw the three Khan kings stunned in place.

With a cold snort, Lavandorji and several Manchu Baturu beside him had already put their hands on the handle of the knife.

See this scenario.

How dare the three Khalkha Khans say no?
Immediately shouted that the emperor is wise.
