Chapter 656 Preparations
In addition to these Ming troops, the Qing army around them was not idle either. They also began to prepare. From Shengjing City to the north, it belonged to their territory. However, the Qing people did not have a concept of territory yet, and it turned out that there was only a rough scope.
Now after popularizing the science of these people in the Ming Dynasty, they can understand what it means to defend their territory.
When explaining this knowledge to them, it was obvious that the people of the Ming Dynasty divided them into two parts. Although the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were also opposite each other, just like what the eldest prince thought, we were all black-haired and yellow-skinned, and they were all from the same ancestor.
But these Rakshasa people are different. They have not evolved at all, so they look like monkeys.
Such a theory was quickly spread among the Qing Dynasty and the Han people. Although the Qing Dynasty and the Han people still had great hatred, if these Rakshasa people were in the middle, we can put our hatred first.
The appearance of the Mongols is similar, according to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that is the internal struggle between brothers. Now that a leader stands up, we have to hold back our energy to fight with these foreigners, especially those who cannibalize Rakshasa.
In terms of the formation of the Qing army, Zhang Dashan had decided to let the eldest prince Yanshou lead the team and form 8,000 Eight Banners Cavalry.
In order to facilitate management, these eight thousand Eight Banners cavalry belonged to the Eight Banners, which can also be regarded as giving each Qing Dynasty some benefits. According to the court's regulations, as long as someone joins the army, their monthly salary will be exchanged for white flour and then handed over to their local family members.
Originally, these people lived a good life, but after being defeated by the Ming Dynasty, many people could not even eat at home, but these professional soldiers would not do anything other than war.
What's more, there are not so many jobs around Shengjing City. Even if you have the strength, you can't support your family. Now, you have given them a way out.
At the beginning, many people couldn't get over that. After all, their parents and brothers died at the hands of the Ming army, but now they are just like what the Ming army promotes. No matter how we say it is a brotherly dispute. Haven't you also killed many Han people?
This is equivalent to being even, but compared with the Rakshasa people, can we be even with them?
Education must be brainwashed over and over again. At the beginning, not many people may have remembered it in their hearts, but after a period of time, these people knew how to do this. Take the current situation as an example. More than 8,000 soldiers who joined the army wanted to quickly solve the Rakshasa people.
According to incomplete statistics, these hundreds of Rakshasa soldiers have killed a total of about 20,000 people since entering the Qing Dynasty, and more than 10,000 people have lost their ability to live.
This involves almost all aspects of the Qing Dynasty. You should know that there are not many people left in the Northeast, and these 20,000 people account for nearly 30%.
Hundreds of people killed nearly 20,000 people, which was a bit exaggerated, but the Ming Dynasty court put this number on their heads, not to mention that many people around Shengjing City, including in Shengjing City, have been killed by the Rakshasa people.
So no one knows how many people there are. The Ming Dynasty court is just using this to arouse hatred from the Qing people against them. We can only fight side by side on the battlefield, especially in the vast land of the Northeast. If there is no help from the Qing people, we will have to pay at least three times more strength.
Yanshou's heart was always thinking about how to take revenge. His father was the person he respected the most in his life and died at the hands of the Rakshasa people, which no one expected.
But now as a son, he has not taken revenge, which makes Yanshou feel unable to raise his head. So when Zhang Dashan came to this guy, he went out to find someone without even thinking about it, which is a kind of reward for him.
When selecting personnel, Yanshou naturally knows what kind of people to look for. If his combat effectiveness is not strong and he can only flatter him, he may still have a way out when sent to the battlefield in Guannei. After all, the battle over there is not very intense.
The weather and surrounding conditions are also very good, but if there are such people in the north of Shengjing City, it may affect the combat effectiveness of the army.
In the north of Shengjing City, if you want to survive, you must have a strong body. The average life expectancy of people here is less than 60 years old, and those in their fifties are very rare.
It is because of the harsh natural conditions here. If the body does not meet the standards, it is absolutely impossible to follow. Zhang Dashan, including them, also look for strong bodies when selecting soldiers. Yanshou once went to the north, so he is very familiar with the situation there.
Although they set out in spring and returned in summer, no one can guarantee any changes in the middle. If they need to stay in place, they must have equipment to keep warm.
Therefore, there are hundreds of cars of various cotton coats so that they will not cause frostbite after they arrive in the local area. According to what Shengshou said, if it gets cold there, it can almost make it sprinkle water and turn into ice.
For mainlanders like Zhang Dashan and others, they only saw this word in books, but they have never really seen them, and they are also full of curiosity about winter.
However, Yanshou also told them to try not to stay there in winter. In addition to some local people, it would be difficult for them to survive there even those of the Qing people.
After hearing this, Zhang Dashan gained an understanding of the harsh environment in the north, so he also made his subordinates ready.
His Highness the Crown Prince also said that although the main enemy on the surface is the Rakshasa people, in fact, their main enemy is the harsh local environment. As long as this can be overcome, the Rakshasa people will never cause much damage to them.
As for the Goryeo people who came to Shengjing City, they wanted to go to the north to cooperate in battle, but they were all left by General Shi Lang. Looking at their march along the way, they knew that it was a second-rate army among the second-rate army, and they didn't have the nerve to say about them...
