Yue Le and Jieshu took a letter handed over by Ao Bai and read it, and after only a few glances, Yue Le, who was proficient in military affairs, shouted: "Wonderful, wonderful!" This week, Chang Peigong is indeed a rare talent! ”

"No! This mobilized the great Confucian, who was loyal to the imperial court, and spontaneously organized a group training to deal with the thieves, but it was going to move the foundation of our Manchurian Eight Banners! But Jieshu shouted.

Ao Baipi replied with a smile: "Little prince, it is true that our Manchurian Eight Banners are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. But if there are no Han people, can we occupy this great country? I'm afraid that the most I can do is to go to the south to loot, and I have to go back! Or a confrontation between the north and the south, as in the dispute between the Jin and Song dynasties. How about we let the Han people start their own group training first? When they exterminate the thieves, we will take the power of the Han people again! It's up to us! ”

In real history, when the rebellion of the three feudatories broke out, the Eight Banners Army was already useless, and the old Green Battalion Army had begun to corrupt and transform, and it was impossible to resist Wu Sangui at all. It was precisely because Zhou Peigong recruited a large number of cynics who were loyal to the Qing court and formed a new Green Camp Army through fundraising and other methods, which stopped Wu Sangui.

However, at this time, history has undergone major changes, and Zhou Peigong, who has not yet become an official, naturally cannot form a formal green camp army, and can only mobilize the gentry to form a regimental training.

Ao Bai agreed to Zhou Peigong's proposal without hesitation, and promised to let the famous Han people form a group training, but the group training must be under the jurisdiction of the green camp of each province.

"Lord Ao, just one thing, is Peigong trustworthy this week?" Yue Le asked.

Ao Bai stroked his beard and said, "This Zhou Changnai was recommended by Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Hubei, what is not trustworthy?" Even Li Guoying praised this person endlessly! This person can take on the big job! It's the talent of my pillars of the Qing Dynasty! ”

Jie Shu continued to read, only to see Zhou Peigong writing on it: The Eight Banners can organize their own Baoyi minions, send out all the Baoyi who can fight, let them join the army, and form a special Baoyi army......

"That's not a bad idea! The coats are loyal, and if they use the coats to form an army, they will be strong in combat. And there will be absolutely no surrender to the barbarians! Jie Shu nodded.

Yue Le frowned, and did not agree with this method: "This method is just on paper, and it is difficult to really implement it!" The flag people all regarded the coat as their property, and when they went to the battlefield, only a few of the coats followed. Let all those minions come out of their homes to join the army, and when this matter is implemented, it will inevitably be strongly opposed by the banner people! ”

At that time, the banner people had a lot of coated minions, and only a small part of them could follow their masters to the battlefield, and most of the coated minions were farmed at home, and the banner people regarded the coated minions as their private property. How is it possible to let all the coatings go to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

"We can ask the imperial court to give an order and let the banner man dedicate the coat! In this way, each of the Eight Banners disciples could bring a dozen to more than a hundred Baoyi to the battlefield, and these Baoyi were still under their command. In this way, we can add more than 100,000 Manchurian Eight Banner soldiers out of thin air! Ao Bai replied.

"The Eight Banners of Manchuria? They're just coating! They are not the Eight Banners! They're just lowly Nikan! To call them the Eight Banners is simply an insult to our Manchurian warriors! Jie Shu retorted with wide eyes.

Yue Le also said: "Fill the number with a coating, it is better to let the Eight Banners outside the customs enter the customs to deal with Ming Gou!" ”

"The Eight Flags outside the gate can't be moved! The Rakshasas of the north have expanded eastward! They conquered quite a few Mongol tribes! If we transfer the Eight Banners outside the gate, all the Nuergan area will fall into the hands of the Rakshasas! It is the land of our Manchurian dragons, and it must not fall into the hands of the Rakshasas! Ao Bai snorted coldly.

Speaking of which, in fact, Ao Bai is still much more backbone than Kangxi. Kangxi was able to sign the first treaty with the Russians to cede land, but Aobai was a hardliner who did not give up an inch of land.

"We can fill the numbers with coats, but the Nikan army can't be called the Eight Banners Army!" Yue Le said.

"What should it be called? Called the Green Camp? Called Han Eight Banners? Are they Green Camp? Is it the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty? You've got a name for it! Ao Baidao.

"Of course they can't be called the Green Battalion, they have a higher status than the Green Battalion! It can't be called Han Baqi. Many of them have not yet raised their flags. Let's just do it, it's better to call the Manchurian Coating Army. "Jie Shu came up with a name.

"The Wrapping Army? It's not a good name! Or give them a chance, as long as they join the army to fight the dog, whether it is a coat that has already raised the flag or not. Raise the flag all! Let them enter the Eight Banners of Han! "Ao Bai felt that he should not be stingy with such a small reward.

"Let them all carry their flags?" Jie Shu and Yue Le were stunned.

"Raise the flag, they are still minions! When a slave meets a master, he will always be a slave. If you raise the flag, you are not a minion? If we raise the flag for them, these minions will be even more determined to do things for us! Ao Bai explained.

"This week, Pei Gong does have some ability! He strongly advocated the use of the gentry and aristocrats who were loyal to us to mobilize the ordinary gentry and aristocrats, and those who listened to us were there, and those who had different intentions would not dare to act rashly! They know their necks are no harder than our knives! As long as those who are loyal to us get mobilized and ask them to raise donations, they will honestly come up with money and let us hold a group practice! Yue Le was full of praise for Zhou Peigong's proposal.

"For team training, we still have to control. This Zhou Peigong, let him come to Anqing! He's a talent! The old man needs such a person! You can give him an official position, let him solve the problem of food and salary on his own, and form a real green battalion army! Ao Baidao.

"My lord, Xiao Wang will ask people to invite Zhou Peigong." Yue Le said.

"Let him come early! Such talents must not be buried! He is a pillar of the imperial court! Ao Bai nodded.

When Yue Le and Jie Shu left, Ao Bai looked at the battle report sent back from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and felt full of emotion in his heart: Tu Hai, a dog minion, why is he so fateful? This dog slave is a pawn planted by the Queen Mother to deal with the old man! The old man is loyal to the court, why do you grandparents still treat the old man like this?

On Aobai's desk, there are some information sent by eyeliner from all over the world, some of which are true and some are false, but a lot of information shows one thing: Tuhai is a chess piece planted by the Empress Dowager and is used to deal with Aobai. When the little emperor grows up, he will be able to use Tuhai to get rid of Aobai. Moreover, this information has a nose and eyes, saying that the emperor is still young and has not yet been pro-government. But Kangxi is very eager to really hold power, and he is unwilling to be controlled by others. In the future, we will inevitably get rid of Aobai.

"I don't know where this information came from! The emperor is still young, how could he have such a scheming? If this information is true, it is because the Queen Mother does not like the old man! Ao Bai sighed.

"Brother, that Aunt Su Mala is not a good thing! She also has a share of credit for instigating the little emperor to deal with us! Aobai's younger brother Mulima didn't know when he would enter the study.

It is said that Aunt Su Mala takes a bath once a year, and she also has to drink the bath water. This Aunt Su Mala is also one of Kangxi's teachers, and many bad ideas that Bumu Butai didn't expect were all thought up by Aunt Su Mala.

"Why are you here?" Ao Bai turned his head and asked.

"My son died in Padang, and I panic when I think about it! He's your own nephew! Mulima's eyes were a little red.

"Sulma gave his life for his country. This is the pride of our Manchurian warriors! Ao Bai yelled.

"But we are loyal to the court and have dedicated our sons to the court! But the court did this to us! It's chilling to think about! Murima said with tears in her eyes and a whimper.

Ao Bai said angrily: "The accuracy of this information has not been confirmed! It could also be a thief's counter-plot! We must not be fooled! ”

Mulima replied: "Big brother, this kind of thing, the younger brother would rather believe it!" Big brother, have you forgotten about the regent? How did their mother and son treat the regent back then? The regent was not cold, but his bones were crushed and ashes! If there is a father, there must be a son, and we must be careful that we will end up with no place to bury in the future! ”

Ao Bai was speechless, he knew that a powerful minister like him would lose power one day. Surely he will die a terrible death! And this Aixin Jueluo family, starting from Huang Taiji, is definitely a good hand at intrigue and politics. How could Ao Bai have played with them?

Perhaps many of these mountains of information are counter-plots from the Ming army. But he knows that it is a counter-plot, but he is powerless to deal with it, and he must believe that this counter-plot is true! This is the brilliance of counter-plotting!

Zhou Peigong's movements were very fast, five days later. When Zhou Peigong received the invitation letter from Aobai, he knew that he had a great opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune.

"Good news!" Zhou Peigong happily returned home with the letter, "Lady." Good news! Lord Ao wants to invite Xianggong to Anqing! This is a great opportunity to get ahead! ”

"What is there to be happy about? Doesn't Lord Zhang appreciate you very much? But you followed Master Zhang to Padang, and it wasn't in vain? You went to meet Lord Ao, what other good ideas could you come up with! Zhou Peigong's wife said disdainfully.

"When you get ahead, you'll know!" Zhou Peigong turned his head and ignored his wife, but secretly said in his heart: What good ideas can a woman have? Since the letter I wrote has been favored by Lord Ao, let's hurry up and take a trip to Anqing! See Lord Ao early, go get an official and a half-job, and form an army to deal with thieves!

At noon that day, Zhou Peigong stepped on a clipper boat that went down the river.

The boat went down the water at a very fast speed, and it only took three days and three nights to arrive in Anqing. After arriving in Anqing, Zhou Peigong took the invitation letter from Yue Le to himself and quickly found a way. First, someone from Prince An's mansion came and led Zhou Peigong to live in one of the best inns, and then Prince An Yue Le asked people to call Zhou Peigong to his mansion.

"The grass people knock to see the prince!" Seeing Yue Le, Zhou Peigong was flattered and knelt on the ground and made a thousand.

"Get up!" Yue Le said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou is also a famous person, and he has written such insightful articles, he is really a pillar of the imperial court!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" Zhou Peigong was very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Yue Le looked at Zhou Peigong with a smile, nodded slightly, and said, "Mr. Zhou, you should tell me, how do you implement the method of forming a group training, that is, a new type of green camp?" Say the specific implementation plan! ”

Zhou Peigong arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, this time the grass people followed Master Zhang into Badong, but they were stopped by thieves. Although the Huguang Green Battalion killed the enemy bravely, it was still defeated by the thieves, resulting in the annihilation of the Sichuan Green Battalion and a crushing defeat! In the Sichuan Green Camp, there are a large number of people in the Ganshan Green Battalion, and the Sichuan Green Camp is defeated, and the Ganshan Green Camp is also demoralized! Coupled with the defeat of the green battalion in Zhejiang, Fujian, Qiongzhou and other places, today's green battalion is already demoralized and useless! A big blood change and a new green battalion must be formed to fight against the thieves! ”

"What about Shandong Hebei Green Camp? Also demoralized? Yue Le asked knowingly.

"Back to the prince, what is Lord Ao's record in Zhejiang? Didn't win, did it? Many of the Ao army are the green battalions of Hebei Province, Shandong, and they have also been defeated, can the morale be high? This green battalion in the north still needs a period of rest and recuperation before it can fight. And the green battalion in the south, because of the successive defeats, has become useless. Therefore, the grass people think that we can mobilize a group of gentry and let them pay for the formation of a new green camp. "Zhou Pei is fair.

"To form a new green battalion, who will command it?" Yue Le asked.

"Of course, it is the local prefect, the governor, the governor or the chief soldier, the admiral and other court officials! According to the view of the grass people, each county can form its own new green battalion, and the local county order mobilizes the gentry to pay for the training and conscription expenses on weekdays. But in wartime, the new green battalion of the county must obey the command of the state capital! And the new green battalion of the state capital must obey the command of the province and the province! And the governors of the Daotai, they must be obeying you and Lord Ao, right? In this way, when the time comes for the war to begin, we will have a large number of elite troops at our disposal! Zhou Peigong replied.

"Hahaha!" Yue Le laughed and said, "This method is really good!" It's just that those old green battalions, although they can't fight anymore, they are soldiers of the imperial court after all! And how to deal with it? ”

"When they have lost a few battles, they have to back down! If they return the corpses to the vegetarian meal, the court can severely punish them! Also take the opportunity to get rid of a group of disobedient people! When the time comes, pull our new green camp up and see who plays well, and they will be convinced! Zhou Peigong arched his hand.

"Not bad! In this way, this king will lead you to Lord Ao tomorrow! When you get in front of Lord Ao, you have to behave well! Yue Le nodded with a smile.

The next day, Yue Le led Zhou Peigong to meet Aobai.

"Sure enough, he is young and talented!" Seeing Zhou Peigong, Ao Bai praised endlessly, "The old man will give you an official position, first give a seven-grade general political servant!" In this way, you can also train your troops. ”

Although this seven-rank general political secretary is a minor official, it is an official position connecting the general political secretary and the military department, and he is not a magistrate, so he can let Zhou Peigong train a large number of new troops. And with Zhou Peigong's status as a person, he can only give a seven-rank official position first, and then slowly promote him later. (To be continued.) )
