Most of Niulu in Xianghongqi and Zhenghongqi were taken away by Yue Tuo, leaving only five Niulu around Daishan.

One oxen can capture 300 people, and five oxen can capture 1,500 people.

In other words, there are more than 18,000 Manchurian soldiers under the Two Red Banners under Daishan, and currently only 1,500 are left, which means they exist in name only.

With the slave population, it is almost impossible to replenish the Two Red Flags to nearly 20,000 people.

The only way at the moment is to fill in the gaps by recruiting from other Six Flags and keep the existence of the two red flags as much as possible. Only in this way can the Eight Banners of Slavery be considered complete!

The Eight Banners Army was originally a military system of the Jurchen tribe in the late Ming Dynasty. It is an ancient and unique way of household registration management.

The wild boar Pinurhachi started with thirteen pairs of armors and joined the Japanese army. He began to set up four flags, namely the positive yellow flag, the positive white flag, the positive red flag and the positive blue flag. This was the beginning of the creation of the flag system.

All tribal men and horses were organized into four parts. They usually farmed, hunted and produced, and went into battle with bows and knives. This was a system of integrating soldiers and peasants.

Tribal people are not only common people who provide productivity, but also soldiers who provide combat effectiveness.

At that time, Manchu tribes were basically illiterate and could not read, so they used colors to distinguish which part they belonged to, so there were four color signs of yellow, white, red and blue.

The use of color to distinguish troops is also a common method in ancient China. It is similar to the traditional Five Elements colors of the Central Plains. Yellow represents earth, representing the center; white represents gold, representing the west; red represents fire, representing the south; blue represents water, representing the north.

The colors of the Eight Banners lacked the cyan, which represents wood and the east. Later, the green camp was added, which just made up for it.

Later, the tribes in Jianzhou became more and more fat, and the number of people and horses in the four banners increased, making it difficult to manage, and new banners needed to be added.

But it is more difficult to choose a new color that is easy to recognize. You can simply use an old color and put a border on it, just add a circle.

So the four banners of yellow, white, red and blue were established, and all the Manchu tribes, Mongolian tribes and Han troops who submitted to them were brought under the management of these eight banners.

Since the army and peasants are integrated into the system, this brings about a distinctive nomadic characteristic of the Eight Banners - self-provision of military equipment.

The soldiers' armor and weapons were all provided by themselves. Of course, after unification, there was also a system of unified production and distribution by the imperial court.

Generally speaking, the weapons and armor of the imperial court are strategic reserves. When a war comes, they are temporarily distributed before the war and collected after the war.

Normally, I use my own for training, so the bow and arrow workshop industry is to manufacture bows and arrows for soldiers.

Rich soldiers could afford to repair it, but those without money had no choice but to fool around, which also led to the direct decline of the Eight Banners military in the late Qing Dynasty. Even the poor Eight Banners army did not have suitable weapons to maintain daily training.

After eight banners were added, each banner had 300 people per Niulu, and one Niulu Ezhen was set up to manage it. Five Niulu were equivalent to one Zhalan, and Zhalan Ezhen was set up to manage it. Zhalan Ezhen was also called Jia La Ezhen.

The five Jalans form a solid mountain and serve as a flag, with Mele Ezhen on the left and right to manage it.

During the Nurhaci period, the composition of the Eight Banners was no longer purely Manchurian, including Mongolians, Hans and others who had surrendered.

In the Huangtaiji period, the team grew again. In the ninth year of Tiancong, Houjin conquered the Mongolian Chahar tribe and the Karaqin tribe, and organized the captured tribes into the Eight Mongolian Banners. This is the origin of the Eight Mongolian Banners.

In the second year of Chongde, the Han army (divided into three parts, the old Han army was called Wu Zhenchaoha, the army surrendered by Kong Youde was called Tianyou Army, and the army surrendered by Shang Kexi was called Tianzuo Army) was divided into two banners and managed separately.

Previously, the Old Han Army was directly subordinate to the Eight Banners, and Kong Shang's surrendered army was still managed by them alone.

Beginning in the second year of Chongde, all Han armies were unified in organization, which was equivalent to taking away the military power of Kong and Shang.

This is a very interesting thing. In order to recruit the surrendered generals, the troops will not be dispersed, but first let you feel at ease.

In the end, I will slowly add sand to you, infiltrate first, and then directly reorganize the entire team and seize power to finish the job.

In the fourth year of Chongde, the Han army was divided into four banners. The color of the flags was pure soap color, soap with yellow, soap with white, and soap with red.

In the seventh year of Chongde, the Four Banners became the Eight Banners. The colors of the flags were the same as those of Manchuria. The short-lived Four Banners were cancelled. This was the origin of the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army are now completely assembled. So are there twenty-four banners in total?

Of course not, there are actually eight banners. Take the Xianghuang Banner as an example. Under the Xianghuang Banner, there are three similar ethnic groups under the jurisdiction of Manchuria, Mongolia, and the Han Army. They are all members of the Xianghuang Banner. According to when they join the group, they are divided into

The three parts are generally divided according to ethnic groups.

After the Eight Banners entered the customs, all men, women, old and young were called bannermen (it is said that the old lady of Zhenghuang Banner had a "Tongtian pattern" on her head) and other non-Eight Banners were called "people". It can be seen that the ethnic composition of the Manchu people is extremely complex now.

.

According to the early establishment of the Eight Banners: 300X5X5, each banner had a total of 7,500 people. The Eight Banners should be 60,000 people.

In fact, this is not the case. The early establishment plan of the Eight Banners was to have 7,500 men per banner. Of course, these 7,500 men were all men who could fight.

In battle, there will be casualties and casualties. If the army loses a lot of people, there will be mature sons to replace them.

But not everyone will have a boy. Those who give birth to a girl will not be able to take the place, or those whose sons have not grown up will not be able to take the place.

Therefore, the quota of 7,500 people should not be fully filled as the war progresses, so the number of people in the Eight Banners is inconsistent, with more and less.

The early post-Jin army affiliation system had strong nomadic characteristics.

Although the Eight Banners are nominally the troops of the Later Jin Dynasty, in fact the eight banners have their own flag owners, and the troops under them are similar to the slaves of the flag owners.

When Nurhachi was old, the leaders of the Eight Banners gradually began to form their own mountaintop forces and took sides to compete for power.

Concubine Abahai's three children, Dorgon, Duduo, and Azige, each led a banner and formed a strong force that competed politically with Huang Taiji, Daishan and others.

Before entering the Pass, the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang banners among the eight banners were directly commanded by the Khan King (Emperor), and the other six banners were commanded by the Khan King's nephews.

In the eighth year of Shunzhi, Dorgon died, and Shunzhi took charge. He took the Zhengbai Banner under Dorgon's jurisdiction and returned it to the emperor's command, thus forming the Upper Three Banners and the Lower Five Banners.

At the beginning of Jiannu's entry into the Pass, in order to strengthen military defense, Eight Banners soldiers were ordered to garrison in the capital and various places for permanent garrisoning.

Subsequently, large-scale land enclosure activities were carried out, and a large amount of fertile land from the common people was captured and transferred to the banner people, and the banner people were exempted from taxes and labor.

The extremely preferential policies given by the Jiannu slaves to their own people resulted in the decadence and parasitism of the banner people, resulting in the desolation of their descendants' riding and shooting.

The Eight Banners system was always associated with the Jiannu regime. It was not only one of the important factors in the victory of the Jiannu, but also led to the eventual decline of the Qing Jiannu.

After Azige entered the Pass and his entire army was wiped out, the vacancy of the Manchu soldiers who built slaves has not yet been filled.

This time, Yue Tuo not only allowed the two Red Banner Manchu troops to be destroyed, but also the two Red Banner Mongolian and Han armies, and no one escaped from the Pass.

If the two white flags of Dorgon and Duduo enter the customs, they will definitely be knocked down by the Ming army.

Huang Taiji really can't imagine how strong the Ming army's combat effectiveness is now.
