Chapter 334
"The slaves will definitely repay the emperor by shattering their bones!"
The dozens of generals kowtowed to the ground with gratitude. Although they were wearing the Eight Banners armor and even talking about the Jurchens, in fact, they were all Koreans.
Unlike the vigilance against the Han people, the Qing Dynasty used Koreans and Mongolians and other foreign races with extremely widespread use. As early as Nurhaci, there was a Goryeozo in each of the Eight Banners. As early as more than 20 years ago, there were more than 3,000 Korean camps in the Eight Banners. Over the years, the Qing Dynasty captured no less than hundreds of thousands of Korean people from North Korea. In fact, there were no less than 10,000 Goryeo soldiers among the Eight Banners.
At this time, the reason why these Korean generals knelt down and thanked him was because the emperor was very kind, not only allowed them to enter the banner, but also built the Eight Banners of Goryeo. In other words, from then on, they were no longer slaves under their jurisdiction. Moreover, although the Eight Banners of Goryeo, although they were not the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, were the slaves of their masters, not the slaves of their masters.
Of course, it is certainly impossible to support the status of the Goryeo Eight Banners just by relying on less than 6,000 soldiers of the Goryeo Eight Banners, so the first thing is to recruit soldiers, and there is no need to recruit them - Seoul has a ready-made source of troops, with a total of 50,000 troops.
Korean soldiers are all military households. Unlike the Ming Dynasty's military households, they have actually collapsed. The North Korean military households still exist and even live a good life. This is not to say that North Korea attaches importance to military equipment, but it is actually because the Korean dynasty used slave system, imprisonment of illegitimate evil, and other methods to restrict class movements from mother law to prevent others from becoming "two shifts". Of course, military households also benefited from this and lived a good life.
However, these wealthy military households were not willing to serve in the military, so they spent money to hire some "untouchables" to serve in the army on their behalf. Although this practice violated the law, the performance of the "Dailijun" on the battlefield is much more reliable than that of the military households. Therefore, the generals naturally turned a blind eye to the "Dailijun" and even enjoyed it.
Most of the Korean soldiers in Seoul were of this kind of "arranged army" because they were "unprecedented people", so they lived a worse life than ordinary people.
First of all, the military households do not have military pay, but fortunately they have food, but the food is often deducted by the generals in the army. If they eat half full, they will meet a good person. At most, the military food will be 20% or 30% or 30% of the food.
Secondly, they often do private work for two classes of nobles and generals for free, creating houses and reclaiming land for them. Even their employer, the military household, would withhold previous promises for various reasons, but the untouchables had no choice.
Who made them untouchables?
It is better to say that they are beggars than to say that they are soldiers!
In fact, Hanni knew very well about this - his North Korean name was Han Yi, who was born into two gangs of illegitimate sons. During the Battle of Sarhu, Jiang Gonglie surrendered to the Eight Banners together. They were also the earliest Goryeo soldiers among the Eight Banners. Of course, in order to survive, they promised Huang Taiji to execute the Ming army soldiers in the military camp. For more than ten years, they have been deeply trusted by the Qing Dynasty, and even his son Jie Yin has become the commander of the guards.
At this time, Han Yi, the army of Gushan, was just named the Goryeo Banner of the Goryeo Banner in a military uniform and walked into the Korean barracks. He was followed by more than a hundred guards and followed by Korean civilians to escort hundreds of grain trucks.
The Korean soldiers who were basking in the sun lazily under the sun all looked at the food truck, and they just wanted to rush over and kneel over and call him "Sir", and then ask for a few dou of rice to eat.
Hannie, who was riding on a horse, looked at the Korean soldiers. Now two squads of generals in the army have been ordered to go home, and even these Korean soldiers have been confiscated and their weapons are forbidden in the camp.
"You all listen!"
Hanni shouted loudly and pointed at the food truck behind him and said.
"There are all military pays for this truck that are given to you!"
Military pay!
They also have military pay?
The Korean soldiers instantly became energetic and rushed forward in a mess, just like the victims waiting for the porridge. Hanni was not angry about this, but shouted loudly.
"The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty issued an order to recruit 30,000 soldiers from the Korean army. As long as you enter the camp, you can get one or two military pay and three dou of food every month! Listen to you, there are only 30,000 people, and there is no such store after passing through this village!"
The soldiers who squeezed into the center of the squad were all stunned when they heard Hanni's shouts.
Join the army for Chief Hu!
After a while, they seemed to have not reacted.
"Listen, as long as ten thousand people make military achievements, you can join the Eight Banners of Goryeo, and you will no longer be a pariah!"
When Hannie shouted, the Korean soldiers who seemed to be hesitating rushed to the front and asked how to lead the troops.
"Distribute grain and record the book!"
Hanni smiled.
"Everyone comes here to record the book! After recording it, you are the soldiers of my Qing Dynasty! Even the county magistrate can't do anything to you..."
For a moment, the soldiers who were originally recruiting for the squad were all rushing forward, fearing that the quota would be occupied if they fell behind and they would lose their share.
For them, it seemed that there was nothing to do with Hu Chiefs and the kings. They only had one or two taels of military pay, three dou of rice and grain in their eyes. Of course, they also had to join the Eight Banners. Although they didn't know what the Eight Banners were, they had also witnessed how the Hu soldiers showed their power. Even when the two squads of adults were in high spirits, they could only lower their heads and laugh. It was not a bad thing to be a Hu soldiers.
However, not everyone went to record the book. As everyone flocked to the list, they thought about recording it. When they entered the Goryeo Camp, there were more than a thousand people on the edge of the school grounds. Not only did they not go, they also glared at the other Korean soldiers.
Seeing this, Hannie rode over and stared at these people. Their military uniforms were still neat. Although they had lost their color, there were no patches. I knew they must be real military households. There were still some military households who were concerned about the country.
"Why don't you go and record the book?"
Faced with Hanni's questioning, all of those people bowed their heads and did not dare to look at his eyes. Only Li Shilong answered in the crowd in response to his eyes.
"I am a North Korean military household, how can I betray the king and serve others!"
Hannie was not annoyed, but said the truth loudly.
"Where did other people say that I, the Qing Dynasty, is the lord of Korea, the monarch of Korea serves the Qing Dynasty, the monarch is my minister of the Qing Dynasty, and you are naturally also the ministers of the Qing Dynasty..."
"Shameless!"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Shilong shouted.
"Since I fell to the ground, I only heard that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was the emperor. How could Hu Chief be the lord of my North Korea..."
Hanni's face suddenly changed and she shouted coldly.
"Take it..."
The guards behind him immediately rushed up like evil tigers. Li Shilong did not resist, but just let them take them down. After a moment, he was tied to the pointing platform.
The Korean soldiers in the audience stood in chaos, and they all looked at Li Shilong in shock.
What's going on?
Seeing that all the soldiers gathered, Hanni, who was intending to kill people to correct the military law, said loudly.
"Everyone listened to it. The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty is so kind. I reward you with military pay and military rations. Such a great kindness is that this disciple not only does not know how to repay the reward, but he is talking wildly, which is unbearable! Come on! Execute!"
As soon as Hanni's words fell, Li Shilong, who was tied up in big flowers, shouted loudly.
"The Koreans, today Hu Chief Hu regards us as his soldiers, and wants to attack the Ming Dynasty. We Koreans have served the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty for all generations. How much kindness does the Emperor treat North Korea? How can the Koreans forget the kindness of Emperor Shenzong in the year of Renchen? Now, I have to bow my back to help the thief and capture the Chinese for three dou of rice?"
Li Shilong's shouts made many of the soldiers look at each other in a flash, and a few of them even turned red. Seeing this, Hanni couldn't help but regret it and shouted immediately.
"Clog his mouth! Cut it!"
The executioner raised his sword and fell, his head fell directly to the ground, and Hanni saw that everyone seemed to be strange. He shouted at the person who had not recorded the book.
"You all come here to record the book!"
The people couldn't help but hesitate when they heard this. Hanni shouted loudly.
"Those who are hesitant must be unscrupulous and kill."
In the horrified eyes of people, the executioners raised their butcher's knife again and cut off more than a dozen heads in succession.
The whole audience was silent, and everyone was frightened and their legs were weak.
Hanni asked loudly at this time.
"You are willing to serve the Emperor of Qing."
There was a bloody head on the side to intimidate, and no one would dare to say he was unwilling to do so. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to express their loyalty.
It is not difficult for people to surrender, just kill a few people. Then give them some favors. At that time, these people will naturally swear to die.
In fact, it was the same when they surrendered. At that time, they even killed the Ming army and became the lieutenant.
Actually, it doesn’t matter loyalty, it just depends on the price of betrayal.
They really regard the Ming Dynasty as the Heavenly Kingdom? But in fact, they are just ordinary people who are afraid of life and death. In order to survive, they can give up everything.
After conquering these people in one fell swoop, Hanni seemed a little proud. With these soldiers, the Eight Banners of Goryeo would definitely become an existence that was not inferior to the Eight Banners of the Han army. If they were not to seize the opportunity, they might even become princes of the Qing Dynasty.
By then, who would dare to say anything about these North Koreans? They were just a group of rebels. I am afraid that they would all scramble to flatter themselves, even if they were two nobles like that.
Well, there will be no two shifts by then!
Thinking so much in his heart, Hanni was grateful to the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor, as a two-class gang, he would have been able to become a thousand households one day, but now he would not be able to become the prince.
Thinking of this, he wished he could lead his troops to Datong River now and kill all the Ming troops to serve the emperor's loving kindness.
