Siye Mansion, Study Room

"Xiaoba, do you want to train soldiers?" Yinzhen asked.

Yinhu smiled and said, "Don't the fourth brother think this is a good idea?"

Yinzhen didn't make a sound, looking very unhappy.

"Why is fourth brother angry?" Yinhu said strangely: "We don't have any influence in the army, but the influence of the elder brother and the crown prince is deep into it. If we don't think about it, our future will not be easy."

Yin Zhen was taken aback, "You think so?"

Yinhu nodded quickly.

Yinzhen was even more surprised: "Xiaoba, I really don't understand what you mean. You let me get closer to the prince, but you yourself get closer to the elder brother. Now you say that we have no power in the army. What do you mean?" What do you think? The fourth brother doesn't like to get too close to the prince, if Huang Ama misunderstands that I and the prince are in an alliance, and you are in an alliance with the eldest brother, then the loss outweighs the gain."

Yinhu laughed, what the fourth brother thought was really interesting: "Of course not, you and I have a good relationship in private, Huang Ama knows, and is very pleased. This is a good thing. But now the crown prince and elder brother are the most powerful in the court. If you don't Make friends with the prince, and he will stumbling you casually, how can you do well in the household department? At that time, you will definitely be disgusted by Huang Ama. I have a feud with the prince, so naturally I can’t rely on him. The concubine Hui raised me since I was a child When I grow up, I have a good relationship with my eldest brother, and Huang Ama can't say anything about me. The key is to let the prince fight with the eldest brother. We are weak, so we can hide our strengths and bide our time, and accumulate strength. When one day we can really do whatever we want, naturally we don't have to. Considered so much."

Yinzhen was taken aback for a moment: "Does Xiaoba also want to..." He pointed to the top.

Yinhu smiled: "It's not me, it's the fourth brother. The fourth brother is thoughtful and has the common people in his heart. He will be a wise king. This is not only for the common people in the world, but also for ourselves. Only when you stand on the highest ground can we be together forever." stay with me."

Yinzhen was still startled by Yinhu's words at first, but when he heard the latter sentence, he was really happy. It turns out that Xiaoba has already worked hard for our future.It is also impossible for the prince to say that he has no idea about that position.But the prince is powerful, and with the help of Suo'etu, Huang Ama loves him even more.My own mind just lightened up.Now after listening to the eighth brother's words, my heart came alive again.That's right, if you can't stand on the top, how can you protect the eighth brother?In particular, the crown prince harbored ill intentions towards him.What Xiaoba said is right, now is to hide your strength and bide your time, and accumulate strength.Watching the snipe and the clam fight, I am a fisherman who benefits.

"When did you start training?"

Yinhu smiled and said, "I have to select the soldiers first." After speaking, he smiled mysteriously.

"How to choose?" Yin Zhen also became curious.

Yinhu said mischievously: "If I don't tell you, you will know tomorrow."

On the second day, Kangxi decreed that the eight elder brothers would select the children of the Eight Banners to form a special team, and each banner must cooperate.The Special Forces Team was named by Yinhu, and Kangxi thought it was pretty good so he used it.

Yinhu also proposed that all the children of the Eight Banners participating in the special forces team will receive a subsidy of ten taels of silver per person per month.If they die in wars in the future, ordinary soldiers will receive 100 taels per person, small captains 500 taels, and large captains 1000 taels.

Nowadays, many banner people in Beijing are living in poverty, and most of them sell their food as soon as they receive it.There are still many grain stores in Beijing that specialize in this kind of business, buying grain from banner people and hoarding it for huge profits.It made the life of the bannerman go from bad to worse.There are also some banner people who can't get on with "referring to pay for debts", the general interest is five plus six, and most of them are colluded with each other inside and outside the barracks, and some officers are usurers.This has caused many bannermen to go bankrupt, and some upper-level personnel have changed their banner property rights due to the rise and fall of power. Most bannermen sometimes want to sell their banner land to solve their living problems due to the surge in population, and sometimes even violate the imperial court’s prohibition. Selling the land to the people is the regulation of selling flag land to the people.This shows the embarrassment of the banner people's life.

Yinhu's recruitment of soldiers was just a solution to the urgent needs of many lower-level banner soldiers.So when Yinhu asked to sign up voluntarily, many poor bannermen immediately responded.Even if it is dangerous to send troops in the future, there are not many pensions.In the original place, people would die in a war, but the amount of pension was definitely not as much as that given by Ba Ye.Yinhu gave a total of three days to sign up, and everything will be announced in three days.As a result, 1000 people signed up on the first day.This was beyond everyone's expectations.Even Kangxi didn't expect Yinhu, a special team, to be so attractive.

In fact, it is not the special forces that attract people, but the money they give.Yinhu had heard about the recent living conditions of the Bannermen, so he gave such a high amount of money. 300 people, each person is [-] taels per month, the expenses for this year are huge.Fortunately, he also sent a ship to follow Cao Fang to the west for business, otherwise he would not know where the money came from.

The location of Yinhu's selection of soldiers was set at the Zhenglan Banner's military training ground. After all, Mr. Kangxi put him under the Zhenglan Banner, so he always had to give him some face.

Yinhu came to Zhenglanqi's garrison, because he was worried about him, Yinzhen took half a day off to accompany him in the selection of soldiers.Yinzhen and Yin'e also came to join in the fun.

Yinhu didn't have much hope for the character of the bannerman. Once when he went out with Yinzhen, he happened to meet a bannerman who was chased and beaten by loan sharks, and almost died.These people are addicted to gambling, and they have no business for the whole day. Once the money and food are distributed, they either gamble or eat. If they don’t have enough, they borrow usury.

After the San Francisco Rebellion, the world was gradually unified, and the days of stability have been long. The soldiers of the Eight Banners were extravagant and dissipated, and gradually lost their vitality.

First, several military advisers selected by Yinhu will count the number of applicants, and then Yinhu will discuss with Yinzhen how to select soldiers.

"I don't think Starling can recruit many soldiers and horses, and they signed up voluntarily. Those people have lived in peace for a long time, who will come to you to suffer." Yin'e first expressed his opinion.Although Yin'e grew up in rich clothes and fine food and grew up in the palace, he knows the style of the Eight Banners soldiers very well.He liked to practice riding and archery since he was a child, and he wanted to be a general in the future, so he often pestered his uncle to take him to the Eight Banners garrison to check.The treatment of the Eight Banners soldiers is much better than that of the Green Camp, but there are a lot of greedy and cunning soldiers in it. I can see that their training is ordinary. I guess the starlings will be disappointed in a while.

"That's not necessarily true." Yinzhen disagreed, "These people's lives are almost unresolved, but the starling gives ten taels of silver a month, who has such a high salary. Money can turn ghosts around, I think the starlings can make money." The people must be indispensable."

Yinhu couldn't help laughing when he heard the two of them arguing, maybe no one except Huang Ama knew that he would only recruit 300 people.
