Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 927 The Battle of Banner Owners
Kong Yanzhou is from Xiangzhou, and they are fellow villagers with Yue Fei, but their conduct is far from Yue Fei's.He was a rogue since he was a child, but he was very brave.It was also born ten years late, otherwise there would be another giant bandit in the green forest at the end of Song Dynasty.

Under the system of the Lu Qi Dynasty, the dissatisfied Kong Yanzhou entered the palace with honor.

There is no children's rights protection law in this era, and a person who is seventeen or eighteen years old is considered a minor in this era.That child can have it.

At the age of 22, Kong Yanzhou, who had already entered the palace for the second time, was arrested by the government and sentenced to death because he blocked the road and cut the path, causing people to be disabled.

At that time, when Li Dao went back to his hometown in Xiangzhou to visit relatives, he was begged to come to his house, so he resorted to a trick, paying a large sum of compensation, so that the victim would stop talking. Pretending to be a soldier of the Zhenghuang Banner.

This is an exchange of equivalent value, paying money to buy the victim's silence, and Kong Yanzhou still wants to join the Death Squad to serve his death and make atonement.It also makes sense.But if it weren't for Li Dao's efforts, Kong Yanzhou's end would be to be beheaded for public display.

After entering the Zhenghuang Banner, although Kong Yanzhou was begging for life on the tip of a knife, he fell into the noodle tank like a mouse, and he was at his ease.

People like him are restless, and the army is the most suitable for this kind of person, but he has a criminal record on his back, and recruiters can't recruit a single soldier, and they won't want him.Entering the Zhenghuang Banner is equivalent to joining the army.

At that time, Lu Qichao was attacking Beiliao, it was the time to employ people, and it was also the most suitable for him to mess around.

In just three years, Kong Yanzhou has grown from a prisoner on death row, the lowest-ranked death squad in the Zhenghuang Banner, to a well-known hundred households.When Xuan Zan resigned, only three of the five thousand households under him had enough credit. Although the Zhenghuang Qi under his leadership had experienced many battles, the general would inevitably die in battle. In this adventure, the two Qianhu under him who failed to complete their merits were both new recruits who joined him halfway, and failed to leave with him.

With three thousand households missing, Kong Yanzhou successfully filled one of the vacancies.Up to now, this person has been in Zhenghuangqi for less than nine years, but he is already inseparable from Han Chang.

The latter may have a bigger name in history, at least Lu Qian is more familiar with him.And looking at Kong Yanzhou's name, he also felt extraordinary in the dark, but he was not sure if he had heard of this person.But just by looking at his name, he feels more compelling than Han Chang.

Han Chang's ability is not weaker than Kong Yanzhou, but who told him to have an old man in the way?Before Han Qinghe abdicated, Han Chang was only a hundred households with white flags.At the beginning of Yanjing War, Han Qinghe fell into the army and asked to surrender. Lu Qian didn't kill him, but just ignored him.Later, when Han Qinghe reunited with Han Chang and his son, Lu Qian entered the Northeast and established the Xiangbai Banner, so he stuffed their father and son into the Xiangbai Banner.Han Chang hesitated for many years at the position of Hundred Households with the White Banner, so much so that he only talked about the qualifications of the Thousand Households, and he was no more than Kong Yanzhou.

Now that these two people are competing for the position of the leader of the Red Flag, it is really difficult for Lu Qian to choose.

"Come here, Xuan Hanchang and Kong Yanzhou will meet you at the pilgrimage!" Since the two are hard to distinguish in terms of qualifications and merits, let's meet them in person.

See which of them has the higher loyalty, then whoever is the leader of the red banner!
Lu Qian suddenly patted his head, really confused, why did he forget about loyalty.No matter how talented a person is, if his loyalty is not high, isn't it also a scourge of blindness?

Even if one of Han Chang and Kong Yanzhou is in the Northeast and the other is in the Western Regions.To come to Jinling, it will take some time even if you travel fast along the way, but Lu Qi can afford to wait.

Zhenghongqi, Zhenghuangqi, and Xianghuangqi have entered a state of rest.The Three Banners campaigned against the Ghaznavid dynasty, and before that, the Xikala Rebellion was quelled. It has been two years since the situation has been on the line of fire, why don't you withdraw and take a good rest.

The land of Ghaznay is now the country of Huo.

And Zhenghongqi, as one of the Eight Banners, is the vanguard of Lu Qi's foreign wars. If he chooses the leader, then what's the point of delaying it while taking advantage of this time?
You must know that in the current Eight Banners, although there are still 5000 regular banner soldiers, there are supplementary soldiers in each banner, and the source of soldiers are all males in the banner households.When they first entered the Eight Banners, they were not yet 16 years old, but year after year, the little Douding who were under the age at the beginning have grown up, so what can they do?Farming and grazing at home?That's not the job of the Bannermen, who apparently still have coats.These people became the supplementary soldiers in the Eight Banners.When the Eight Banners soldiers fight, they follow along, and when the spoils are divided, they also have their share, but there are not as many as the Eight Banners soldiers.

There are eight banners, and each family has different numbers of supplementary soldiers.But there are at least a thousand people.These people seldom take the initiative to fill the vacancy of the banner, because to do so will make double meritorious service before they can leave the banner.

People have ten skills. If you have one more flag soldier in your family, you will have one more 'ten skills'.But the flag people are still eager to raise the flag.

The Eight Banners of the Lu Qi Dynasty are different from the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. They have no special rights. On the contrary, they are always present in every battle.People die in battle every month and every month, and every now and then they have to cry and mourn. As long as people can have a bite to eat, who wants to live a life of dancing on the tip of a knife?
They were the first choice in desperation.If you don't go to the flag, you will not only be despised by the Han people, but also inferior in nature, and you will have no life.

They are more willing to pick up a knife and fight than to learn to farm from the Han people.

But now, more than ten years have passed, everyone of them can speak Chinese and know a few words, and they can already smoothly integrate into the society of Lu Qichao.Why bother to continue fighting here?
In other words, after these years of banner soldiers and wars, every family has a good family background.After leaving the flag, you can get a Chinese surname and Han nationality, you will not be discriminated against, you can live a peaceful life, even if you want to fight, you can also join the main army in a serious manner, isn't it better than being a slave in the Eight Banners?
This is a major reason for the existence of supplementary soldiers for each banner.Only when the elder brother and father in the family are killed or disabled in battle, the younger brother and son will automatically replace them.Otherwise, it is rare for a family of bannermen to have two or three bannermen.

In this case, supplementary troops became indispensable for each banner, which also invisibly expanded the number of Eight Banners soldiers.Coupled with the existence of Bao Yi under the banner households, the real strength of each banner is no longer 5000, but tens of thousands.It's just that the combat effectiveness of those coated soldiers is weaker.

Each of these banners is a big tribe on the grassland, and the Eight Banners have reached the limit allowed by Lu Qian.

Because of this, the candidates for each flag owner must be very cautious and heavy.

Han Chang from the Northeast and Kong Yanzhou from the Western Regions all rushed straight to Jinling with their entourage when they received the order.Even at that time, the Northeast and Western Regions had already been snowing.
