Chapter 731
: Haracha meets Prince of Yan Zhu Di for the first time, and the mystery of the 8 Mongoli
After a brief pause, Halacha's eyes revealed his familiarity with this past history, and he continued, "However, as time passed, with the development and expansion of the situation, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin demonstrated outstanding foresight and leadership.
On the basis of the original four flags of yellow, white, red and blue, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin carefully added four flags of yellow border, white border, red border and blue border.
At this point, the Mongolian Eight Banners system was complete, just like adding bricks and tiles to a magnificent building, making it more stable and magnificent. "
At this point, Halacha looked serious and elaborated on its compilation in detail.
"Its specific organization is rigorous and orderly, with every 300 people forming a Niulu, and each Niulu has a Niulu Ezhen.
Niulu'ezhen was responsible for managing these 300 people, and was responsible for coordinating everything from daily training to the arrangement of various affairs.
The five Niulu are combined into one Jiala, and the Jiala has one Jiala Ezhen, who is responsible for coordinating and commanding the relevant matters of the five Niulu.
Going a step further, the five Jiala are gathered into one Gushan, and Gushan has one Gushan Ezhen who is in charge of all the affairs of Gushan.
This is a well-organized structure."
Then Halasha took a breath and continued, "Not only is the organization clear, but the Eight Banners of Mongolia also have strict and fixed arrangements in many aspects.
Whether it is living, stationing, marching, hunting, or even sacrificial trains, there are clear direction regulations.
The yellow flag is located in the north, like a guardian god sitting in the north.
The white flag is in the east, seemingly echoing the rising sun.
The red flag stands in the west, as if carrying the afterglow of the setting sun.
The blue flag is in the south, and each occupies a specific position in an orderly manner. "
After a short pause, Halasha cleared his throat and said, “In addition, the Eight Banners of Mongolia are divided into left and right wings.
The left wing includes four banners: Bordered Yellow, Plain White, Bordered White, and Plain Blue. Because of their locations, they are also called the Eastern Four Banners.
The right wing is composed of four flags: the Pure Yellow, Pure Red, Bordered Red, and Bordered Blue, so it is also called the Western Four Flags.
The left and right wings echo each other and together form the complete pattern of the Eight Banners of Mongolia."
Halacha frowned slightly and recalled, "Before I came to the Yuanma Temple in Beijing to take up my post, the Eight Banners of Mongolia underwent another important change.
In order to better manage and deploy, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin further divided the Eight Banners of Mongolia into the Upper Three Banners and the Lower Five Banners.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, with his absolute authority, directly commands the Plain Yellow Banner, the Bordered Yellow Banner and the Plain Blue Banner.
These three banners are honored as the upper three banners and have a respected status, like the core force among the Eight Banners.
The other flags were each under the command of a flag master and were collectively referred to as the "Lower Five Flags".
Since then, the Mongolian Eight Banners have become more meticulous in their management system, each performing their duties and working together with the Ming army to maintain peace in Shanxi."
At this time, Halacha spoke sincerely, and his voice was loud and firm.
After talking about the various regulations of the Mongolian Eight Banners in the past, he immediately emphasized: "Your Highness Prince Yan, rest assured that the Mongolian Eight Banners are united.
He has always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty and has never had any second thoughts.
Since its inception, its mission has been to assist the Ming Dynasty and defend the country.
This loyalty has never changed despite the passage of time, and will remain unchanged in the future!"
Having said this, he straightened his back.
Kharacha looked at Zhu Di with sharp eyes, and that look seemed to convey the unswerving determination of the Eight Banners of Mongolia.
However, Zhu Di listened quietly to Haracha's assurance. Although his face remained calm, his eyes involuntarily revealed obvious worry.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the depths of his eyes, as if he was thinking about many complicated matters.
After all, the Mongolian Eight Banners were powerful, and although they had always claimed loyalty, the situation was unpredictable and people's hearts were hard to figure out. Even though Kharacha swore to be loyal, Zhu Di knew that the situation in the world was like a complicated chess game, and any force could become a key chess piece that affected the overall situation.
Zhu Di knew very well that he couldn't completely dispel his worries with just a few words. The power struggles and future trends behind the Eight Banners of Mongolia were like a thick fog that made it difficult for him to completely let go.
At the same time when Kharacha expressed the loyalty of the Eight Banners of Mongolia to Zhu Di, Zhu Di showed worry in his eyes.
In front of a gate of the imperial palace in the capital, the guard Su Yu was carrying out his duties in an orderly manner.
He was tall and straight, wearing a well-tailored guard uniform.
The black brocade on the clothes exuded a calm luster, and a belt inlaid with exquisite jade was tied around the waist, which further highlighted Su Yu's extraordinary heroic spirit.
He walked with steady and powerful steps, straight towards the clerk of Yuanma Temple.
When the clerk of Yuanma Temple saw Su Yu coming, he hurriedly bowed respectfully, and then carefully took out the pair of jade earrings from the box.
This pair of jade earrings exudes a warm and charming luster under the light.
The emerald green color is like the freshest new leaves in spring, and also like a pool of clear green lake water.
Every detail of the carving is delicate and the lines are smooth and natural, showing the exquisite craftsmanship.
Su Yu stretched out his hand gently but steadily, and took the earrings from the clerk of Yuanma Temple.
He looked at it carefully, confirmed that it was correct, and put it away properly.
Then Su Yu turned around and left, walking towards the palace maid Yu'er who was waiting not far away.
Yu'er has a graceful figure, and the light pink palace dress makes her face look even more delicate.
She lowered her head slightly, folded her hands in front of her, and her eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and expectation.
Seeing Su Yu coming, Yu'er couldn't help but straighten her body slightly.
Su Yu walked quickly to Yu'er and said softly, "Miss Yu'er, these are the jade earrings you wanted. Take them."
As he said that, he handed the earrings to Yu'er.
Yu'er quickly took it with both hands and a grateful smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you, Guard Su. Yu'er will take it to the Queen for review.
It won’t take long to find the clues hidden behind it.”
Then Yu'er nodded to Su Yu gratefully, and then she carefully put the pair of warm green jade earrings into her arms, her movements were so gentle that she seemed afraid to hurt these precious objects.
The jade earrings rubbed gently against Yu'er's clothes, making a slight rustling sound, as if telling a story.
After putting away the emerald earrings, she bent down slightly and picked up the medicine jar on the ground steadily with both hands.
There was still some warmth on the outer wall of the medicine jar, and wisps of hot steam escaped from the gaps in the lid.
With a light herbal aroma, it slowly diffuses in the air.
Although this medicine jar is neither big nor small, it has a certain weight.
Yu'er used a little force in her arms when she held it up, and the slender lines of her arms were faintly visible under the sleeves.
Then she turned around, with a light yet dignified posture, and walked steadily towards the Kunning Palace.
The blue brick road under her feet shone with an ancient luster under the sunlight, and Yu'er took each step steadily and firmly.
The palace walls along the way are towering, the vermilion walls are solemn and majestic, and the glazed tiles on the top of the walls sparkle with golden light in the sunlight.
