Emperor Kangxi's bold words were certainly not unfounded, although the national destiny of the Qing Dynasty continued to decline under his wise leadership, reaching new lows repeatedly.

But this does not mean that Emperor Kangxi was an incompetent and ignorant person. In fact, he was a quite capable monarch, and he was very good at adapting and learning!

For Kangxi, there was no immutable ancestral law in the Qing Dynasty... As long as the national destiny of the Qing Dynasty could last long, and as long as the Qing Dynasty was still the world of Aixinjueluo and the Eight Banners disciples, everything could be changed.

, everything can be changed...

Therefore, the political reforms, economic reforms, and military reforms implemented by Kangxi in the past few years have been extremely vigorous, and have achieved good results. Although most of his reforms are a bit focused on the present and not on the future... but the national crisis is at the forefront.

It's good to take care of the present when you are young. If you don't take care of the present, the world in the future will be someone else's property!

Among Kangxi's various reforms, the most significant effect was undoubtedly the military reform of the Eight Banners New Army.

Compared with the current Eight Banners Army eight years ago when Guangdong first had its troubles with Prince Zhu San, the changes have been earth-shaking. The Eight Banners Army eight years ago was in East Asia, and this nook in Northeast Asia could do some ruthless things.

, if you compare it to Europe and West Asia, you will definitely fall behind.

But now the Eight Banners New Army has not only learned to fight the "high-sugar war". Through continuous learning and exploration, they have also developed a method of skillfully using trench defense, lining up to shoot, and skirmishing ambushes under "low-sugar conditions".

, tactics such as cavalry assault and artillery bombardment, new tactics against "high-sugar enemies".

And "high sugar", "low sugar" and "no sugar" will soon become the most important criteria for measuring the strength of an army!

"High sugar" is better than "low sugar", and "low sugar" is better than "no sugar", which will also become a recognized criterion.

Today's battle in Seoul is actually an effort by Kangxi's "low-sugar army" to change their destiny and use clever "low-sugar tactics" to challenge Zhu Heji's "high-sugar army".

If Kangxi wins this battle in Seoul, it means that his Eight Banners New Army has crossed the "sugar gap" and become a strong force that can defeat "high sugar" with "low sugar"...

..It also means that Kangxi finally partially regained the national destiny of the Qing Dynasty that was lost because of "sugar"!

Although Kangxi gave people a sense of victory these days, as a "science and engineering man", he still knew very well how strong the "high-sugar" army could be!

Therefore, after realizing that the "high sugar" Ming army was about to launch an attack, Emperor Kangxi rushed back to Xingzhou Mountain City and summoned his ministers in charge of the military, the Dutong, the Deputy Dutong and the four Mongolian Zasak counties.

The king held an emergency military meeting to discuss strategies for war and defense.

Soon, all twenty-three Baturus except Wang Fuchen rushed to Kangxi, and a military discussion immediately began.

Now Kangxi also has relatively reliable military maps, which are all made with the help of his Western military advisors. Kangxi also selected a group of young and clever Eight Banners disciples to learn cartography, artillery, and art from those Western military advisors.

Western military science, and sometimes even personally instruct them on "low-sugar military science", which is equivalent to setting up a military academy for the aristocracy.

Nan Huairen is the leader of this group of foreign military strategists, and now he has led them along - these foreign military strategists also need to learn! Although they are masters in fighting the "sugar-free war", the "low-sugar war" and "low-sugar war"

But they don’t quite know what the “high sugar war” looks like.

In this regard, Kangxi was their teacher.

When Kangxi and his twenty-three baturus gathered in Xingzhou Mountain City, Nan Huairen's foreign military advisers had already placed a fairly accurate battlefield map on a large table.

Kangxi, after bowing and kowtowing to the Batulus below, waved to them and said: "Everyone, get up... There is no special short-legged map table here. You can't kneel down to read the map, so there is no need to be polite.

Come on, let’s stand and watch together.”

In fact, Kangxi himself didn't really like the short map table in the Forbidden City - this map table was for people to kneel down to read, but Kangxi couldn't kneel, he had to stand to read it, and his eyes were too far away from the map, which was very hard on his eyes.

A group of Batulus all thanked them, then stood up one after another, bowed their bodies and walked to the map table, where they stood in a crowded heap.

Kangxi stood alone at the other end of the map table, glanced at everyone, and then said in a slightly solemn tone: "The traitors have more sugar, and I have less sugar... This situation cannot be changed for the time being.

, but there is a way to play with less sugar. As long as we use the method of playing with less sugar well, the chance of winning is still quite good.

What I mean is that we defend first and then counterattack... The cavalry belonging to each commander will be used intensively, and the infantry can be divided into three rows. The first row will have fourteen commanders, and the second row will be deployed two hundred steps later.

Eight ginseng leaders, and then twelve ginseng leaders were placed 200 steps apart. There was also one ginseng leader who was dismantled and placed into several villages on the battlefield to establish strongholds.

After the infantry, there were thirty-five additional cavalry and Mongolian cavalry placed two miles away.

Except for the fourteen staff leaders in the first row who all formed a horizontal formation, the rest of the second and third rows of staff leaders all formed a column.

In addition, the eight commanders in the second row are divided into two wings, and the twelve commanders in the third row are evenly arranged. There must be enough space between each commander to facilitate the entry and exit of the cavalry."

Kangxi's military commanders are similar to the Ming army's battalions, but the military commanders are more comprehensive. They are composed of musketeers, pikemen, cavalry, artillery, baggage troops, and engineers. The number of military commanders is roughly the same.

It’s also a thousand.

The specific establishment is one staff leader and five assistant leaders, including one flag and drum assistant leader, one cavalry assistant leader and three infantry assistant leaders.

Among them, the artillery, baggage troops, and engineers are all integrated into the flag and drum auxiliary collar. In addition, there are 40 infantry and 40 cavalry in the flag and drum auxiliary collar.

This kind of assistant leader is also the foundation of each leader. It is a standing assistant leader. The other four assistant leaders take turns to serve in peacetime.

In addition, the infantry commanders of the Qing army were also synthesized. Each commander had forty pikemen, eighty fusiliers and forty matchlocks.

When forming a horizontal formation, eighty fusiliers will form a two-row line, and forty pikemen will form a sparse formation behind the fusiliers. Forty arquebusiers are usually experienced

The abundant "old guns" would be used as skirmishers in front of the battle - originally Kangxi wanted to replace them with rifled guns, but the rifled guns were too difficult to build, the output was too low, and it was difficult to load ammunition, so they were not affected by the "old guns"

They preferred to use their accustomed matchlocks.

After Kangxi finished explaining his plan, the twenty-three batulus below also understood that it was actually to use the first row as "sugar ashes" to consume the "sugar power" of the Ming army. When the Ming army exhausted their "sugar power"

"After the breakthrough was achieved, the second and third rows launched a counterattack, and the cavalry also waited for opportunities to counterattack!

"Your Majesty," Shengjing General Ba Haifa asked, "who is in the first row?"

Whoever is in the first row is unlucky!

Kangxi smiled and said, "Now one of the Gushans led by Wang Fuchen has entered the Beihan Mountain... The remaining seven Gushans should have two leaders each! But you can rest assured that I will not

I'm sorry to the fourteen leaders who are at the front! When Seoul is captured, let them rob it for a day, and then others can go in and rob it!"

Bahai nodded and had nothing to say. The conditions were not bad...high risks and high returns! Moreover, there were people from all Gushan Mountains, and the losses were shared.

The emperor is quite fair!

Kangxi looked at everyone and said: "If there are no objections, then I will start arranging the areas where each Gushan will be responsible for defense!

I don’t know where they will focus their attack now, so I will just arrange it casually, and the following leaders will have their own destiny!
Chapter completed!
