"Everyone, today is the last day of the recruit camp.”
"After today, perhaps we will go to the border and guard the border for the Qing Dynasty.”
"What great principles? It's not something that a mere awesome person like me can really say. However, when we reach the border and the day really comes to the battlefield, I don't care about the friendship of comrades and brotherhood. English will never forget, on the battlefield, I, Abuhan. Ingri will never retreat when facing the enemy. He will definitely fight before you.”
"This is my promise to you today.”
Abraham. Engley walked up to the 300 Eight Banners soldiers and shouted.
"I swear my loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and swear my loyalty to follow Lord Niu Lu Ezhen.”
The 300 Eight Banners Disciples said in unison.
Half a month passed.
For Abu Han. For Engley and the new recruits, there were many changes.
..................................
Half a month in the recruit camp.
It was the array formation he had learned, the fighting path of the Eight Banners Disciples, and the fighting path of each soldier.
Of course.
Not too long later.
It was just a rough idea. The real learning was still in the combat troops and on the battlefield.
However…
Even if it was only for half a month.
At this moment, the temperament of the thousands of recruits in the recruit camp had already changed. They already possessed a sharp edge that belonged to the true soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
The disciples of the Eight Banners were experts at riding horses and hunting.
In the Qing army camp.
The inheritance of the military spirit was an existence that the various countries feared.
" Put on armor, mount a warhorse, and line up.
At this moment, he could finally put on his armor and warhorse.
The armor of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty was unparalleled in the world, and English was also looking forward to it.
。。。。。。
The most distinctive symbol of the Eight Banners Army was their flag and armor.
What would be the use of this colorful armor on the battlefield? How did the Manchu Empire suddenly master this seemingly advanced armor-making technology? What kind of changes had happened to the armor of the Eight Banners Army?
The first thing to know was that the Eight Banners Army's armor was exquisite and practical. It could be said to be the peak of ancient Chinese armor. The Eight Banners Armor was an advanced product that adapted to the environment and the needs of war at that time. It was the most economical and reliable armor model that was derived from practice.
The armor of the Eight Banners Army looked like cotton armor, which was made of cotton. In fact, it was a kind of composite armor. In the middle of the cotton, iron sheets were often inlaid and fixed with iron nails and copper nails.
Compared to the iron armor of the previous generation, this kind of cotton armor was much lighter. In ancient times, an iron armor usually weighed more than 50 pounds, and the same area of cotton armor was less than half the weight of iron armor. It greatly reduced the burden on the wearer and increased the mobility and durability of the army.
Secondly, the weather in the north, especially in the northeast, was very cold. The cotton armor could keep people warm. It was a type of armor that suited the environment. Just imagine, if it was an iron armor, how painful would the wearer feel in the cold winter of the northeast?
Thirdly, one of the main reasons for the use of cotton armor was to deal with the gradual spread of firearms. Firearms had already appeared in the wars of the Yuan Dynasty. As a kind of armor that could effectively defend against firearms at that time, cotton armor immediately received attention and was equipped in the Yuan Dynasty army. The Ming Dynasty army learned this armor technique and received praise from the soldiers. The Ming Dynasty border troops were equipped with a large number of cotton armor, which later became the main armor of the Ming Dynasty army.
The reason why the Eight Banners Army was able to learn how to make and equip cotton armor was because of his " teacher " Ming Dynasty. Nurhachi's ancestors were war slaves of the Ming Dynasty. When Nurhachi was young, he served under the Ming general Li Chengliang. It could be said that the Jianzhou Jurchen knew the equipment and tactics of the Ming Dynasty army like the back of their hands.
This was why Nurhachi's tactics and equipment were very similar to the Ming Dynasty's army after he raised his army. It was because the early tactics and equipment of the Eight Banners Army were derived from the Ming Dynasty's border army. How could a disciple's skills not be like his master's?
The cotton armor was cheaper than iron armor, lighter, and more effective against firearms. It became the standard equipment of the Eight Banners Army.
Before the Battle of Sarhu, the Manchurians had been frantically forging weapons in Liaodong, making cotton armors and preparing for war. The blacksmiths had been working day and night, stretching for more than ten miles.
The Eight Banners Army was also equipped with a certain amount of iron armor. Generally speaking, only the heavy troops who were responsible for special missions would wear iron armor.
。。。。
"Alright."
"General has ordered us to head to the Martial Arts Practice Field.”
"Soldiers of the Eight Banners, listen up."
"Follow me."
Abraham. Ingrid nodded.
He arrived in front of the hundreds of Eight Banners Disciples and led the way to the Martial Arts Practice Field.
At this moment.
Thousands of new recruits from the recruit camp had already gathered here.
On the stage.
Guardia. Dusha and the new recruit camp leader Guarjia. Rhode was already on stage.
"Today."
"Half a month has passed for the new recruits 'first training.”
"You will leave the recruit camp and officially join the Qing army.”
"For this."
"You should feel honored, because you have become the true Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty that make all the countries and the world tremble in fear.”
Guardia. Dusha stood on the platform and shouted.
"Great Qing"
"Great Qing…Great Qing…"
In the next moment.
The 3,000 recruits on the training field shouted in unison. An invisible fighting spirit soared into the sky, carrying a murderous aura that belonged to the military camp.
"Alright."
Seeing this imposing manner, Guarja. Dusha nodded and smiled. She knew that the new batch of Qing recruits had the appearance of a real soldier.
"Perhaps you don't know me.”
"Today."
"I will tell you my name.”
"I, Guardia. Dusha."
"The Vice Domain Chief of the Bordered White Flag and the Domain Chief who commands the Bordered White Flag is Prince Yu Duo Duo. Prince Yu is also the Banner Lord of the Bordered White Flag.”Guardia. Dusha said loudly, her voice spreading throughout the entire arena.
"It really is him."
"Aisin Gioro Dordor."
In the middle of the army, Abu Han. There was a look of relief in Ingrid's eyes.
He had just entered the military camp. Ingrid guessed the Banner Lord of the white flag.
"In history."
"The Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty and ruled the world.”
"If he hadn't contracted small-flower, this Tudor might not have died before he was forty.”Abraham. Ingrid thought to himself.
To him, who had been reborn.
Witnessing the powerful generals and famous officials known in history was also an extremely exciting thing.
However…
Abraham. Ingri was also very confident.
In this world, under the baptism of the battlefield where the times created heroes, the future Abu Han. Ingri would also have the same fame as Oboi, Dorgon, and Tudor, or even surpass him and all the powerful generals in the world.
Because…
He was very rare. Ingri had a foundation that no one else in the world had, which was to kill enemies and become stronger. He had stepped onto the path of cultivation.
Perhaps one day.
He was very rare. Ingri could be upgraded to a certain level and become immortal.
"I, Guardia. Dusha."
"The reason why I came here today is to announce that your first training in half a month has arrived and that you have become the true Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.”
"I still need to tell you something…"
That's all, Guardia. Dusha paused and glanced at all the recruits in the dojo. Then, she took out a black scroll and raised it high."Imperial decree."
Hearing these two words.
Guardia. The general beside Dusha.
All the Eight Banners soldiers in the training field bowed, their eyes filled with respect.
"Could it be that the emperor is going to make a move on Big Ming?”
