Not to mention, the Mongolians’ method of fighting is simple and direct. In fact, it is in line with military principles. The simpler and cruder the strategy and tactics, the more successful they will be.

Of course, the premise is that you are a soldier and can fight.

Before Li Xiao came back, Ao Canghai had already dismissed a group of unqualified recruits. With large-scale recruitment, not everyone is qualified for military life. Especially Li Xiao's army is quite modern, even the name is squad, platoon and company.

Battalion group.

Moreover, when soldiers have to cope with heavy physical fitness and queue training, they also have to learn to write. This will cost their lives, especially the trick of starving if they are illiterate, which simply costs the lives of new recruits.

Growing up, I never knew which way the school door opened. In my eight lifetimes, I had only held a hoe and a sickle, but never a penholder.

The young man lifted a millstone with ease, writing as if he were using a thousand pieces of steel. There were drops of sweat on his forehead. Those who knew he was practicing calligraphy. Those who didn't know, thought he was practicing the Sunflower Book.

There is no physical examination for soldiers these days, just a visual inspection to see if there are no missing arms or legs. In addition, if you are not acclimated to the climate, you may have some physical problems.

In line with the principle of preferring fewer to better, Ao Canghai dismissed more than 800 recruits in total. This ratio is not too high. However, in line with the policy of elite soldiers, this approach is understandable. He only has so much money.

We can only support so many people. How can we do it if we are not elite?

A large number of veterans were transferred to the new team to serve as company and platoon leaders at the grassroots level. Now the team has been organized into the battalion because there are not enough qualified officers. It can only be organized into the battalion. In the future, it will depend on which battalion commander can fight and lead the troops. Then

Let him be the regiment leader or division commander.

I thought that Ao Canghai would be very busy in charge of more than a dozen battalion commanders. Unexpectedly, when I got to Changxing Island, I saw Master Ao leisurely leaning on mutton and grilling fish. Sitting upright, looking at the playground

Recruit training.

"How's it going? I went for a run in the south, so I didn't get sunburned. I heard it's as hot as an oven there. Hey, why didn't you get tanned at all?" Mr. Ao held one in his hand that was roasted to a yellowish color.

The leg of lamb is very pleasant to eat with a knife.

"Master Ao! How can you train this soldier to be a leader like you?" Li Xiao sat next to Ao Canghai and watched the new recruits training hard on the playground.

Our Mr. Ao is high up, blowing the breeze, drinking wine and eating lamb legs. He looks so carefree!

"Hehe! You don't understand this. I know best what I, Old Ao, am like. It's okay to lead a few hundred soldiers, but you throw these thousands of troops here and let Old Ao take care of them. My brain is divided into eight parts.

Ten of them can't handle it.

However, I don’t have this kind of brain, but there are people who do. Look, what about the person I’m looking for?”

Ao Canghai pointed to a group of people standing on the platform in the playground with the leg of lamb in his hand. These people were all wearing new olive green military uniforms. They had training hats on their heads. There were more than a dozen people standing there and it was impossible to tell who was who.

Come.

This was not a problem for Li Xiao. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Shunzi next to him handed over the monocular in a very clumsy way!

I have new technology in my hands, it’s up to you, old boy, what to do.

"Yuan Chonghuan!" Li Xiao was shocked when he saw the person pointing at the stage.

"When did he come!" Li Xiao looked at Ao Canghai with wide eyes.

"I came here when I came back from Japan." Ao Canghai looked at Li Xiao with a smile.

I understand, I understand everything.

Cui Chengxiu was engaged in major disarmament in Shanhaiguan, and Yuan Chonghuan came to Changxing Island to look for him. As a result, he met Mr. Ao!

Mr. Ao, who has a keen eye for people, noticed at a glance that the head of the Ministry of War was a stubborn man. This guy was thinking all about how to defeat the Jurchens and regain Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty and the Chinese nation.

Personal wealth, power, official position, or even life were not taken into consideration. What he considered was to defeat the Jurchens and avenge the deaths of the Ming people and soldiers.

It has to be said that Yuan Chonghuan, a single-minded bureaucrat, is really no match for living on the streets and interacting with police officers from all walks of life.

Mr. Ao admired the black beans in the rat excrement and the braised pork in the soup pot very much!

So he gave Yuan Chonghuan such an idea, so Yuan Chonghuan went to the Japanese country to find him. So... this guy came here after returning from the Japanese country.

So...where the hell did this kid do Huang Taiji?

"Where's Huang Taiji?" Li Xiao rushed to Ao Canghai like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"It's locked in the cellar, don't worry nothing will happen. He's well entertained with good food and drink, and there's wine and meat every meal. He eats whatever I eat, and I don't treat him badly. When I went to see him yesterday, he had gained some weight.

"

"As long as everything is fine." Li Xiao was really afraid that Ao Canghai would make the decision privately and would either kill Huang Taiji or send a blackmail letter to Nurhaci.

It lists the terms of the money! I have your son in my hands. Get the money quickly, otherwise the vote will be broken!

According to Li Xiao's understanding of Ao Canghai, this guy can definitely do such a thing. After all, Li Xiao himself had done this before.

No wonder the court has been so peaceful recently, except for the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party in the capital who are still making noise. It seems like the world is at peace!

"What are you going to do with this guy?"

"I had some plans, but now it seems I can't do it." Li Xiao sat down on the chair.

"Did I delay your business?" Ao Canghai put down the wine bottle and looked at Li Xiao nervously.

"It's not a delay, at most it's another method. As long as Huang Taiji is still in our hands, we have a card to play. After all, it is Baylor, the leader of the Eight Banners, and as for Huang Taiji, there is

He has a deep conspiracy and his methods are quite tough.

If Nurhachi dies in the future and he wins the battle for Zhubeile, it will definitely be a disaster for our Ming Dynasty.

Now that he is in our hands, we can at least prevent him from ascending to the position of Khan. The four great Belles, Daishan, Mang Gurtai, Amin, and Huang Taiji are in our hands.

Daishan and his son were in charge of the two red flags, and Mang Gurtai and Amin were in charge of the two blue flags. The white flag was in the hands of Huang Taiji, and the white flag was in the hands of Du Du, who was weak and timid. The two yellow flags were held by Aji respectively.

It is controlled by three brothers, Ge, Dorgon and Duduo.

Nurhaci has clearly established Azig as the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner, and Duduo as the leader of the Bordered Yellow Banner. As for Dorgon, he is usually in Nurhachi's pro-army."

"What do you want to say? Just say it, okay? My old Ao's brain is not as bright as yours."

"In other words, Nurhachi's future successor to the throne is probably Dorgon!"

"Dorgon? Never heard of such a person in Houjin?"

"Just because you haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean that you haven't heard of it. This brother is only eleven years old this year, and he has just been considered a half-grown boy. It's normal that you haven't heard of it!

However, if he wants to inherit the throne, there may be many obstacles. Not to mention, his brothers and nephews who are good at fighting and are fierce and cruel are enough for him to drink a pot.

Do you think we should find an opportunity to kill Nurhachi, so that Houjin will fall into huge chaos?"

"Hmph! I don't know how many people want to eat Nurhachi's flesh and drink his blood, but what can you do?

If we really kill him, according to what you said, the Eight Banners are in such chaos right now. They will definitely be dog-eat-dog. If they can really fight against each other, that would definitely be a good thing."

"Yes! If they fight each other, we can really live a good life. But how can we kill Nurhaci?"

"How to do it? Just one word and it's over. Recruit more troops and fight directly to Liaoyang."

"Liaoyang can be recaptured, Shenyang, Tieling, and Fushun can all be recaptured. But they are all cavalry and have long legs and can run. We are infantry and cannot catch up with them at all.

They retreated into the mountains and grasslands and continued to live their nomadic life. What should we do? Go into the grasslands and into the mountains to fight with them?

Regardless of whether we can defeat them in positional warfare, if we are really attacked by someone else's cavalry, we are no match for them. To solve the Tatar problem, it is best to kill them all. The dead Tatars are the best. Tatars.

Even if we can't kill them all, we still have to kill most of them. Only in this way can Liaodong enjoy peace for a hundred years!"

Ao Canghai looked at Li Xiao with wide eyes: "They say that pretty boys are mean-spirited, but I think you are. The total number of Eight Banners, not counting family members, is more than 60,000. Including family members, there are more than 200,000 people. ?As soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, you will be killed?"

"When the Tatars occupied Liaodong, how many Han people did they kill? In recent years, Liaodong has become more and more barren. Where have all the people gone?

Since ancient times, it has been axiomatic that murder must be repaid with life, and debts must be repaid with money. Since hatred is condensed with blood, it can only be repaid with blood.

If we really don't kill them, I don't know how many Han people will die under the butcher's knife of the Tatars in the future. How can I feel like I am about to become a saint if I kill one person to save hundreds of millions of living beings?"

"You are so shameless! You are the only one who is a saint! I feel that the most wrong thing the Tatars did in Liaodong was not how many people they killed, but the massacre of your Ivory Village. Alas...! It was also the Tatars who were so incompetent that they killed Release you monster.

If you walk out of the Ivory Mountains with hatred, there will be a sea of ​​blood in the future. I, Old Ao, have seen it all. You are born with a ruthless spirit. With your bright brain, I don’t believe you when you say that the Tatars will die. .But you can definitely make Tatars a rare breed!"

PS: The weakness of the Xiangbai Banner is not fabricated by the author. Historically, the Xiangbai Banner once fell into the predicament of having only fifteen cows. Only during Dorgon's reign, the flag owner of the Xiangbai Banner was Dorgon's younger brother Duduo. Just better.
