Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 143 Practice the Eight Banners, the Qing version of the land grant certificate

"Let them in!"

Qianlong sat up straight and ordered.

soon.

He Shen and Fu Kang'an came hand in hand.

With the loss of the southern provinces.

In the Qing court, many officials from the south are gradually being marginalized.

Most of the people who are dangling in front of Qianlong are officials from the Eight Banners.

Manchu important ministers like He Shen and Fu Kang'an have also begun to be reused more.

The Han people may communicate with Niming and Dark, and now the elderly Qianlong can only trust Manchen more.

After getting older, Qianlong's mind was not as flexible as when he was young.

Old age is something that no one can avoid.

Qianlong is now 80 years old.

80 year old man.

Even in modern times there are many people with dementia.

Qianlong still needed to do his best to maintain the paving of the Qing Dynasty, but it was really not easy.

I really want to help Huang Ama share this burden as soon as possible.
While thinking about it, Yongyan invited Fu Kang'an and He Shen in.

this time.

Qianlong did not go back to Beijing, but stayed in Rehe Palace, mainly doing two things.

The first thing is to collect money.

This aspect is left to Heshen.

One is selling officials.

The official who sold Huainan.

Anyway, Huainan has now become the front line, and the Qing Dynasty can't make much money from Huainan, so it's better to sell it.

Hold the money in your hand and talk.

The other is to force merchants to donate.

Mainly Shanxi merchants.

The salt merchants in Yangzhou were physically wiped out after Qianlong ransacked their homes.

Now the Qing Dynasty still has a little money left, which is to go to the old pit in Shanxi at the west entrance.

It is not easy to extract money from these local rich men in Shanxi.

However, Qianlong's massacre in Yangzhou also frightened the wealthy landowners in Shanxi.

The effect of this donation is still very good.

A total of more than 600 million taels of silver were obtained.

In addition, Yangzhou ransacked the house and sold the income of local officials in Huainan.

The Great Qing Dynasty was not short of money for a while, and it was even expanding its army.

If Chongzhen had such a means of making money, the Ming Dynasty might have lasted another five or sixty years.
After getting the money, Qianlong focused his energy on rectifying the army.

On the one hand, it is to practice the Eight Banners New Army.

In Qianlong's view, the future war with Ming Dynasty still depends on the Eight Banners.

On the one hand, Qianlong really can't trust the Han people now. On the other hand, he also knows that if the Eight Banners don't cheer up, then the Han people will ride on the head of the Eight Banners.

So this time Qianlong was ruthless.

Pull out all the strong men of the Eight Banners in Beijing to practice.

Drill hard.

For a while, the Eight Banners dudes in the capital all complained, but at this time they did not dare to offend Qianlong, so they had to practice musketry, queue, and throwing small guns honestly under the supervision of generals such as Agui, Mingliang, and Hailancha. bomb.

After the war in the South.

The generals of the Qing Dynasty finally realized that traditional cold weapons were of little use in fighting against the Ming army.

It was really the artillery and muskets of the Qing army that caused damage to the Ming army.

Therefore, the Eight Banners also practice muskets, formations, and throwing grenades.

What the Ming army can do, the Eight Banners can also do.

Only in this way can we confront the Ming army in the field.

Except for the old and young of the Eight Banners who want to practice Zaijing.

The Eight Banners will also be expanded.

General Heilongjiang has been ordered to recruit more Sauron soldiers.

The Saurons are actually a general term for the aborigines in the Northeast.

These savages living in the old forests in the northeast all have the ability to stab bears and kill tigers. They are very fierce, and they are an important source for the Qing court to supplement the Eight Banners.

In addition to practicing and expanding the Eight Banners.

The Han army cannot be left behind.

So Fukang'an was busy with another matter during this time.

Mobilize the tyrants of Henan, Hebei, Anhui and Shandong, which are still in the hands of the Qing court, to practice regiments.

Of course, you can't practice in groups.

Also recruit troops.

Recruit Green Banner Soldiers!

In addition to the Eight Banners of the Han Army, another Green Banner was set up.

The upper and lower structure of group training-green flag has been formed.

Use the green flag soldiers to control the regiment to train troops, which is used to deal with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Guanzhong.

If the effect is good, it can also be used to deal with Niming in the future.

"Your Majesty, officials from local rich families have been sent to organize regiment training in the local area. The regiment training in Anhui and Shandong provinces has already been organized. The servant thinks that he can give the official position of the green flag to the regiment training in various places. In addition, he has to recruit from the regiment training. Bravery enriches the green flag. It's just a matter of military pay."

Fukang'an looked at Qianlong and raised the issue of the treatment of the Green Banner soldiers.

Of course, the newly formed army can easily form combat power.

Because there is no historical legacy of the old army, it is relatively simple. As long as there are enough soldiers and salaries, the training of the new army will be smoother, and the formation of combat effectiveness will be smoother.

"Military salary." Qianlong frowned when he heard this.

Although he recently made a fortune.

But he knew very well that this sum was an absolute fortune.

Not for long.

Moreover, the Qing Dynasty has now lost the southeast, and its income will definitely drop sharply in the future.

Therefore, this windfall cannot be spent casually, but should be saved.

Just pay the Eight Banners a generous military salary.

If the green flag soldiers of the Han army are also paid in full, then the money will be spent before it is used up, and the vain money is given to the Han people, which is really distressing.

"What's going on with Niming now?" Qianlong asked.

"Your Majesty, Ni Ming is mainly doing three things recently. The first is to occupy the territory. The southern provinces are basically occupied by them. Now the Ni Ming army has also entered Sichuan, and there is only one Fuzhou left in Fujian. In the hands of Haihou, on the Zhejiang side, Sun Shiyi led [-] to [-] Zhejiang regiments to occupy Hangzhou, and the rest of Zhejiang has fallen into Niming’s hands.”

"In addition, Ni Ming is still tossing about what kind of ceremony to make. Because of this matter, the Ni Ming army has postponed the plan to attack Fuzhou and Hangzhou."

"Ceremony?" Qianlong snorted coldly, "Zhu Daohua wants to make a ceremony, so he is worthy to compare with Duke Zhou?"

He Shen and Fu Kang'an looked at each other, not daring to answer this question.

"By the way, Shunming also issued debts, a total of 600 million Ming Yuan, which is almost 3000 million taels of silver. Zhu Daohua himself subscribed for 300 million Ming Yuan," He Shen said.

"600 million Ming Yuan, 3000 million taels of silver." Fukang'an took a breath.

borrow so much.

Can you afford it?

"Niming is also short of money." Fu Kang'an said.

"Why is Zhu Daohua so rich?" Qianlong envied.

"This...slave doesn't know either." He Shen said.

"Forget it, if Shunming can borrow so much money, can I, Daqing, borrow money?" Qianlong asked.

"I'm afraid it won't work." He Shen shook his head.

Daming is backed by the famous brand of Daming Royal Bank, so the national bonds issued by Daming are very credible, and many local tyrants are willing to buy them for long-term investment.

And Daqing here.
It was Qianlong who copied the home of a salt merchant in Yangzhou.

He said that he wanted to borrow money from the common people—who dared to borrow this money, let alone whether the Qing Dynasty had the willingness to repay the loan. If he became rich and was targeted by Qianlong, wouldn't he end up with the Yangzhou salt merchants?
Apart from Heshen, Qianlong himself understood this truth.

He sighed and said: "Now that the state of the country is in such a state, I have no choice but to act in this way. When the rebellion is settled and the religious bandits are wiped out, I will definitely be exempt from taxes and taxes, and live with the people."

"Aside from paying salaries, what else can boost morale?"

Fukang'an bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is still a strategy of using fields instead of rings in Niming. In the Qing Dynasty, there are still thousands of miles of fertile soil in Manchuria. Rewarding meritorious deeds with the soil of Manchuria is enough to raise millions of soldiers!"

Use the land of Manchuria as military salary?
Qianlong and Heshen were stunned for a moment.

Qianlong waved his hand subconsciously: "No! Manchuria is the retreat route of the Eight Banners, so it cannot be given to the Han people."

"Your Majesty, it's not necessary to really give it?" Fukang said in peace.

"Not really?"

"We can follow the example of Ni Ming and give land grant certificates. The land grant certificates are not limited to where the land is, but the soldiers all know that the Qing Dynasty has fertile soil in Manchuria, and they will believe in the Qing Dynasty's ability to honor it!"

Qianlong's eyes lit up.

That's right!

To issue a land grant certificate, you only need to imply that the land is for Manchuria, and these Han soldiers will definitely believe it.

As for whether it will be cashed in the future, it depends on the situation of the war against the bandits.

If the war goes well, the land in Guanzhong and Sichuan can naturally be used to cash in the land.

Things are not going well.

Then it doesn't matter if it's fulfilled or not.
But this is indeed a way to gather the morale of the army and make the Han green flag soldiers in the four northern provinces work hard!

"Okay! I'll issue the land grant certificate!"

Qianlong paced back and forth a few steps.

"Ni Ming gave [-] mu to serve as a soldier for ten years, and I gave [-] mu to Qing Dynasty!"

Qianlong gritted his teeth and said.

"If you want to get the land, you have to fight to the death!"

Land grant certificate!
Good stuff!

"How is the bandit now?"

"Your Majesty, the bandits are dividing the land!"

"Divide land." Qianlong took a deep breath.

"The Green Banner Soldiers will finish their training before this winter, and will go into battle before the end of the year!"

"We must seize the time to defeat the bandits, so that we can concentrate on dealing with Niming!"

"Minions take orders!"

Fukang'an hurriedly knelt down and bowed and said.

The Eight Banners new army is used to guard against the Ming Dynasty going north.

And the regiments and green flag soldiers of the northern provinces were used to attack Guanzhong and eliminate the bandits.

Now that Niming is rectifying the southern provinces, Qing must seize this opportunity.

Annihilate the bandits in one fell swoop!
Wait for Fukang'an and He Shen to retreat.

Qianlong looked at the fifteen elder brothers standing beside him.

He opened his mouth and said, "Yongyan, what do you think Zhu Daohua is planning now?"

Elder Brother Fifteen hastily bent down: "Huang Ama, my minister thinks that Zhu Daohua wants to sit and watch the Qing Dynasty fight with the bandits for the benefit of the fisherman!"

Qianlong shook his head when he heard the words: "Religious bandits are nothing more than that. If they were bandits, I would be very worried, but now that they have changed from bandits to sitting bandits, then I have nothing to worry about. Even if Tongguan cannot be broken, as long as they are blocked Guanzhong is also fine."

"Zhu Daohua must also be aware of this, so he is also brewing and accumulating strength now. When he finishes sorting out the territory in the south, it is time for him to send troops to the north."

"That's why I want to practice the Eight Banners. If the Eight Banners don't cheer up, I'm afraid I will be trapped in Beijing in the future, and my family is in danger of being wiped out!"

Yongyan was taken aback.

Listen to Huang Ama's meaning.

Do you not want to stick to Beijing?
The purpose of practicing the Eight Banners is to.
To escape? !
