Although Chen Zhiyuan had 40,000 or 50,000 troops in his hand, except for the new firearm, the remaining one was Dorgon's two yellow flags. He might temporarily obey Chen Zhiyuan's orders, but it was definitely not a one-on-one heart.

After a long time, if Chen Zhiyuan had the heart to be independent, these two flags would definitely part ways with him and stand on the side of Dorbo.

Wu Zheng felt much more comfortable, so he patted Qian Qiaogong's shoulder and said, "For the first time, I think you are good at... chatting, okay, then wait for the Qing government delegation to come again... Think about it, what else should I ask the Tartars? When the negotiations are made, ask them together."

Qian Qiaogong looked at Wu Zheng with a strange expression. He said, "I'm asking for it?"

Wu Zheng didn't care about Qian Qiaogong's strange face and said carelessly: "There is nothing strange. From Yangzhou to Xuzhou, there are at least five or six thousand prisoners, right? At this time, more than 10,000 Qing troops were divided and surrounded by the First Army. It was impossible for the Qing court to go back for nothing, and he had to redeem it!"

Qian Qiaogong couldn't hold back his "Puchi" and laughed: "But what if the Qing court refused to give it?"

Wu Zhengyi said sternly: "Then there is nothing to talk about. The two major ports, military workshops, and railway construction are short of more labor, which is just the cheaper Mr. Mo, saving him a lot of money."

"Well, I'll need more war horses." Qian Qiaogong was very honest.

Wu Zheng said angrily: "You are so rude... Can you change that? The number is small and it will be better. There will definitely be no more. The Tartars are not stupid. I will give you a war horse and then turn around and beat them?"

Qian Qiaogong said disappointedly: "I wish I could have brought back my more than a thousand lancers from Chen Zhiyuan."

"Don't think about that useless." Wu Zheng waved his hand hard, as if he wanted to drive away these annoying things.

Qian Qiaogong had an emotional intelligence at this time and said, "Then please ask His Highness the King of Wu to give a name to the newly built cavalry battalion."

Wu Zheng was stunned. Who said that the person was not careful? Isn’t this person in front of him an example of 20,000? This is called striking while the iron is hot!

In fact, Wu Zheng had not reached the point of forming a cavalry battalion immediately, he just liked cavalry.

Sometimes liking does not mean you have to possess or get it, right?

But Qian Qiaogong pressed forward step by step, Wu Zheng said helplessly: "Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasties have only had elite cavalry in the Han, Tang and Ming dynasties. However, the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty passed away like a river of spring water. We can't help but form cavalry. What kind of cavalry is it?"

Qian Qiaogong smiled, "I don't care about the name, it's all decided by the prince."

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "What's different from Dorgon's heavy armored cavalry is that we are going to form a spear cavalry. Although the Guanning Iron Cavalry no longer exists, its three-eyed iron gun can be used as a reference for us. First, a round of shooting, then pick up the iron gun as a hammer... Let Chen Shoujie's military workshop create a batch of improved special cavalry guns for you."

"Thank you, Prince!" Qian Qiaogong was uncontrollably excited this time.

Wu Zheng also gradually invested, "The spear cavalry does not take heavy armor as the advantage, but uses speed and firepower to defeat the enemy...then it is called the Fenglei Cavalry."

"Feng Lei Rider?" Qian Qiao repeated it respectfully several times, and looked up and said, "Okay, good name, just call it Feng Lei Rider according to the prince's meaning!"

....

There is one thing Wu Zheng said right.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty had a brilliant scene.

It was formed by Sun Chengzong and led by Yuan Chonghuan. His last leader was naturally the traitor Wu Sangui who "had a furious woman to be beautiful".

But in fact, there is a fallacy in this. Guanning Iron Cavalry was actually benefited from the predecessor Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

Many familiar battle results were actually fought by the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, not the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

For example, during the Wanli period, the 6,000 Liaodong cavalry led by Li Chengliang and Li Rusong and his son fought abroad. In the Battle of Bitiguan, more than 40,000 Japanese troops were swept, and the military prestige and national prestige made the Japanese army unable to recover for more than ten years.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry actually inherited part of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

Why was it adapted? It was blamed on Zhu Di's unfilial descendant Zhu Qizhen. After he left him in Tumu Fort, he could not restore the glory of the "Three Camps of the Capital" in the Ming Dynasty.

The three major camps of the capital formed by Zhu Di, namely the Shenji Camp, the Sanqian Camp and the Five Military Camp, were the most elite field troops in the world at that time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the elite of the elite, and it is enough to sweep the world.

Shenji Camp is a professional musket force and the world's first pure musket force.

The Three Thousand Battalions were actually mercenaries of Mongolian Iron Cavalry. Zhu Di launched the "Jingnan Campaign" and lacked troops. He used the land of the former Daningwei to promise the three guards of the Urianha, that is, the three guards of the Doyan, to replace it with this iron cavalry. Speaking of which, it was also the cause of Zhu Di's own death and planting himself, and it bears hard to swallow fruit. These three guards of Urianha were the predecessors of the Korqin tribe that the Manchus and Mongolians formed an alliance to attack the Ming Dynasty.

The Five Military Barracks were also joint combat units of various military groups formed by Ming people, including infantry, cavalry, and firearms.

Therefore, although Wu Zheng said that the three-eyed musket of the Guanning Iron Cavalry is correct, it is not entirely true.

Because it is only related to the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, the predecessor of Ning Tieqi, that the entire army was equipped with three-eyed muskets.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry was only equipped with some, mostly inherited from the Guanning Iron Cavalry, because when the Guanning Iron Cavalry was formed, the Ming Dynasty had declined and was in trouble with internal and external troubles, it could not afford to buy expensive three-eyed muskets and logistics.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry was just a group of refugees outside the Pass, and it was absolutely impossible to compare with the Liaodong Iron Cavalry at that time. The Liaodong Iron Cavalry was formed at the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, and its soldiers were recruited from good families among the people. In terms of loyalty and discipline alone, they were far stronger than the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

But the Guanning Iron Cavalry also has good results. For example, when Huang Taiji was crying in the Battle of Ningjin, yes, it was really crying. Coincidentally, he fought Huang Taiji for the second time in the Battle of Four Cities. Therefore, the Guanning Iron Cavalry was recognized by later generations. After all, a true elite must defend against strong enemies outside, not civil wars.

Another point is that Wu Zheng was obviously wrong. The Guanning Iron Cavalry was not complete at this time, and the remnants were led by the traitor Wu Sangui to attack the northwest. Speaking of the origin, some of the cavalry of Zu Dabi who had surrendered to Wu Zheng at this time were also related to the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

After Chongzhen put Yuan Chonghuan in prison on charges of colluding with the enemy, the Guanning Iron Cavalry outside Shuntian Prefecture was forced to retreat outside the pass.

Sun Chengzong wrote a letter to Zu Dashou in the name of Yuan Chonghuan, and Zu Dashou then brought Guanning Iron Cavalry to the Pass again to serve the king.

At the same time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry was divided into three parts, part of which was directed by Zu Dashou himself, part of which was commanded by Wu Sangui, and part of which was transferred to Ma Ke and Zhou Yuji were transferred into the pass to suppress Li Zicheng's peasant uprising army.

Zu Dabi was Zu Dashou's younger brother and had been serving under his command. At this time, he led the Han army's Zhenglan Banner to Huai'an. Some of the cavalry in his headquarters were the former Guanning Iron Cavalry, but the number was not large, and most of the soldiers were re-enlisted later.
