The establishment of the "Sticking Pole" is actually related to the defeat of the two armies of the Qing army in the Western Expedition.

Before the defeat of Dodo and Ajige arrived in Beijing, Dorgon had already learned the news from the Qing military advisor Kong Ming in advance.

However, Dorgon still had some fantasies in his mind at that time, hoping that Kong Ming would confuse the public. In fact, the army ahead did not suffer a crushing defeat. At least it was not as bad as Kong Ming said, but perhaps it was just a minor setback.

But when the report from the two armies was placed on Dorgon's desk, Dorgon had to accept this cruel reality.

What made Dorgon feel incredible was that the defeat of these two armies was really strange.

Duoduo wrote in the newspaper that his eastern army had broken through Tongguan, but the dignified Eight Banners Cavalry was defeated head-on by a group of militia in the street fighting.

Ajige's report was even more ridiculous, saying that Liu Zongmin, the Dashun Army, broke into the formation alone and directly cut off the Dazhao flag, causing the army to collapse in an instant.

In the report, there were even crazy words in which Liu Zongmin was hit by the Franchise cannon, but he was unscathed and still swung his sword and fought hard.

Dorgon couldn't help but say it was ridiculous when he took these two letters of retribution. When Liu Zongmin was in the Shanhaiguan War, he actually saw it from afar, but he was just an ordinary man.

If Liu Zongmin was as brave as Ajige said, then the result of the Shanhaiguan War would not be Li Zicheng and defeated Beijing, but that he, Dorgon, had been back to Shenyang.

After seeing the report, Dorgon immediately wrote a letter to rebuke the two of them and asked them to report the truth.

But in the next few days, when more and more information gathered in front of Dorgon, Dorgon had to re-examine the contents of these two memorials.

One of the information that attracted Dorgon's attention was a lot. This was something that happened in Tongguan City during the Shangyuan Festival. The matter itself was not big, it was the record of the guards of the Supervisor's Office punishing a group of dandy houses.

However, a line of words on the information made Dorgon think deeply: "Under a whip, it was broken like powder. The long street was ten feet long, and it was covered with blood."

You should know that this is the information sent by his subordinates to rush to the rush, and it is not a beautiful article made by the Han doctors in the court.

It says it is broken like a whip under a whip, and it must be broken like a whip. There will be no exaggeration.

Dorgon felt that the Dashun Army in Tongguan had been very strange recently, and the demonic Taoist Kong Ming who fell from the sky in Beijing made Dorgon feel even more uneasy.

Since there were such a miraculous thing in the Qing Dynasty, it is difficult to ensure that nothing strange happened to Li Zicheng.

This is no longer something that can be solved by sending a large army. We must dispatch effective detailed tasks and sergeant to investigate the truth.

If Dorgon hadn't been in charge of Beijing, he would even want to go to the front line by himself, direct and mobilize, and find out the whole story of all this.

After all, the capital is too far away from Tongguan, so the information exchanges are inconvenient. Any urgent matters are delayed.

At this time, the adviser Fan Wencheng recommended a person, namely the governor of Ji Liao who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou, the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty.

Hong Chengchou is very good at literary and martial arts. Just by his ability, it can be said that no one can compare with Hong Chengchou's civil and military affairs.

However, Hong Chengchou had one biggest shortcoming, which was that this person had poor character. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen had few trusted his ministers, but he had great trust in Hong Chengchou and was at the top of his position. He even drew all the elite troops from the country. The army at the bottom of the box was taken out and Hong Chengchou led it.

But in the Battle of Songjin, Hong Chengchou not only ruined all Chongzhen's family fortune, but even surrendered to the Qing Dynasty himself. Such an example of the three armed marshals who led the whole country surrendered after defeat, even in the thousands of years of history of China, can be said to be unique.

Since Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon has only made Hong Chengchou a civil servant. He dared not let him take this army. Because even if he rewarded him, he would definitely not be as trusted as Chongzhen gave to Hong Chengchou.

But at this time, Fan Wencheng's recommendation made Dorgon's heart move.

"Yes, I'm not at ease to ask Hong Chengchou to lead his troops, but I'm more than enough to let him be a spy leader and do some of the "factory" of the Ming Dynasty's back then!"

"There will be monsters when the country is about to perish. These magical things. The shaman god who believes in the Jurchens alone may not be able to withstand it. Then letting the Han people govern the Han Dynasty should be a clever plan."

So Dorgon temporarily formed a new institution. In order to ensure the secret of the operation and conceal its eyes and ears, the institution was named "Sticking Pole".

The first director of the sticking rod was Hong Chengchou, who was urgently activated.

Hong Chengchou was a senior commander who led thousands of troops, so he naturally did not want to take this position similar to the "factory man". However, under Dorgon's will, he had to obey.

At the beginning of his tenure, he proposed three conditions. First, only the people in this sticker are only Han people, but not Manchu, and he has to check and select them himself.

Secondly, this "sticky rod" must be independent of the army, which means that it can cooperate with Azige and Dodo's army to a certain extent, but it is not assigned by them.

In the end, Dorgon asked him to give him the right to act cheaply.

In order to make Hong Chengchou work hard, Dorgon naturally agreed one by one.

...

At this time, Lao Zhang from the sticking rod explained to Xiong Yuanba roughly, and naturally he would not explain it in detail. He just said that the big leader at the sticking rod was Hong Chengchou, the governor of Ji Liao at that time.

Xiong Yuanba was overjoyed when he heard this. Hong Chengchou is also a big boss. If he is famous, he may be more famous than Dodo and Ajige. His experience and equipment are probably also good. So he hurriedly wrote on the paper: "When will I see Hong Chengchou?"

Lao Zhang angrily slapped the table and said, "What are you thinking? You idiot who can't even afford to wear pants, you deserve to meet our Mr. Hong!"

"I'll just tell you. Today I'm looking for you not only want you to come to our sticker, but also want you to help my nephew take the exam."

"Substitute for the exam?" Xiong Yuanba was puzzled.

Lao Zhang smiled mysteriously and explained to Xiong Yuanba in detail: "The newly established sticking rod is divided into four departments: Bee, Ma, Yan, and Que. The first department is divided into five teams. I am the deputy captain of the second team under the rule of Que."

"Actually, if I were a few years younger, I would still compete for the position of captain. But now I am older, I want to give this position to my nephew. However, this time, Hong Jingluo's selection of people is extremely strict. Not only did he set the "three no-doers" selection standards, but he also formulated a series of examination rules."

"My nephew is qualified for everything, but he is a bit merciless. I'm afraid he can't pass this exam, so I just wanted to find someone to help my nephew take the exam in the past few days."

Xiong Yuanba wrote on the paper: "What is the 'three no-doers'? What are you going to take for your nephew?"

Lao Zhang explained: "These 'three no's' are rules formulated by Hong Jingluo, that is, people north of the Yellow River do not need to, those who are illiterate do not need to, and those who pass the county examination do not need to."

"I think this may be the case, because the Qing army repeatedly bypassed Shanhaiguan and broke through the Xuanda defense line to come to our Central Plains to plunder. Hong Jingluo was worried that the public was too deep, so the Han people north of the Yellow River were not used. This time, the people were recruited at the stick, as long as the Qing army had never been to the Han people in the place."

"If you don't know how to read, you don't need to be a spy in the future. If you can't even write, how can you convey information?"

"But this is too literate and can't be used. I was studying for the sake of fame and fortune. I was too proud and I was afraid I couldn't really calm down and be a scammer."

"As for this exam, I can find you, so I naturally like your burly body. In other words, just dare to fight, otherwise would you still have to take the exam for a scholar?"

Xiong Yuanba nodded and wrote on the paper: "It's okay to fight, but why should I take the exam for your nephew?"

Lao Zhang said angrily: "Two taels of silver per month! Don't think there are these 'three no's, but there are many people in the world who want to earn the two taels of silver per month. Do you think anyone can enter this sticking rod?"

"Let me tell you, who can't attract people from the stickers now have no way to go? What Zhenglu Hong thought was very good, but the things below had to be done by the people below. Where is there any fucking thing in the world?"

"If you pass the exam for my nephew successfully, and when my nephew becomes the captain of this finches, you will be his soldier. There is no shortage of two taels of silver per month, and you will not need to fight on the battlefield in the future. It can be said that if you meet me today, it will be your great opportunity in this life. Don't mislead yourself."

After thinking about it for a while, Xiong Yuanba understood the whole story. This is just like some internal recruitment of some companies. Only his own people understand the market. Hong Chengchou is not counted in terms of character, but he can also be said to be a great generation of heroes. After this activation, there will definitely be a bright future.

This "sticky rod" was personally assigned by Dorgon. Although it is still in its inception, it is hard to say that it will be the Jinyiwei of the Qing Dynasty. It is the right to see the third level of official position.

These "three no-needs" seem strict, but there are so many Han people who surrendered to the Qing army. Who doesn't have many relatives from Jiangnan?

So, although the staff had posted a notice, the staff had probably already decided. If Lao Zhang's nephew had not needed a powerful face to take the exam, Lao Zhang wouldn't have found himself."

After thinking through this section, Xiong Yuanba thought to himself: "If you can get into the sticky rod, you will naturally have the chance to see Hong Chengchou. It is better than wandering around outside."

So he nodded and agreed.

When Lao Zhang saw Xiong Yuanba agreeing, he naturally smiled and said that he would invite Xiong Yuanba to drink at night and be as close to Xiong Yuanba as possible.

The exam period comes after the turn of the world.

There are only three exams in this sticking rod, namely, stone lifting locks, archery, and wrestling. The location is located in the courtyard of Fuwang Mansion.

In the middle of the yard, a square table was set up, and several examiners sat on the table. Under the table, a rope was used to block a large empty space for the purpose of the exam.

Xiong Yuanba thought he would see Hong Chengchou, but after looking on the stage for a long time, he found that the examiners on the stage were just three ordinary small officials. Hong Chengchou, who was the supervisor of the stick, did not come at all today.

Of course, in Xiong Yuanba's eyes, these people are just ordinary small officials, but in Lao Zhang's eyes, he whispered to Xiong Yuanba:

"Didn't you see the three people on this stage? These are the three chief officials of Ma Ke, Yan Ke and Freak in our sticky rod. Look at the fat man with white face and beardless on the far right. This person is Min Yu. He is the leader of our Freak. You can't know anyone, but you still have to recognize his own boss."

Xiong Yuanba looked at the short and beardless white fat man on the stage and thought to himself that this was the chief officer of the Freak, and it seemed that he could not have any martial arts skills.

He looked at the two people around him again, wondering: Didn’t he say that the four departments of Fengma Yanque, why did he miss the chief officer of one department?

Xiong Yuanba was planning to do something in his heart, and someone on the stage shouted: "Han Zhiqiang, is Han Zhiqiang coming?"

When Xiong Yuanba was stunned, he was suddenly pushed behind him. He heard Lao Zhang whispering from behind: "I'm calling you, hurry up!"

It turned out that Lao Zhang's nephew was Han Zhiqiang. Yesterday, Lao Zhang and Xiong Yuanba also said it repeatedly, but Xiong Yuanba was full of his head and how much experience can he earn if Hong Chengchou was cut alive. Who cares about his nephew's name, so he didn't even go to his heart.

At this time, Lao Zhang pushed him and remembered this incident. So Shiran was about to step forward, but Lao Zhang grabbed his sleeve again.

Xiong Yuanba was not nervous, but Lao Zhang was so nervous that he was sweating. He whispered to Xiong Yuanba:

"Did you see the people on the same stage with you? Let me tell you. Actually, they are all fucking a substitute! So you don't have to worry about being recognized. Just try hard to exert your strength. Remember, two taels of silver per month! It's worth your hard work and hard work!"

Xiong Yuanba felt ridiculous when he saw Lao Zhang's appearance, so he waved his hand gently and told Lao Zhang to be calm and then walked forward.

In the middle of the venue, there were rows of stone locks. They were very large and looked not light. A man instructor next to him was talking about the rules: "Basically, those who can lift the stone locks over their heads and survive for three breaths will be considered passing the level."

Xiong Yuanba looked around again and found that there were powerful people around Kong Wu. They all looked at their strong muscles and strong height.

He complained in his heart: "Hong Chengchou is too stupid. Let's not talk about whether to take the exam or not. These muscles and sticks look like they are simple-minded and have developed limbs. What kind of spy do you think you are sold by local thieves in the Dashun Army, so you can help count the money."

"Isn't this spy that should be hidden in the city and thrown into the crowd and cannot be found."

Xiong Yuanba naturally didn't know that when he complained about others around him, others were also looking at him secretly.

Countless people thought to themselves that in order to make his nephew the captain, this old Zhang didn't even want his face!

Even if we look for substitutes, we can only select some powerful men from Kong Wu. This old Zhang is so good. He even got the gorillas. How can this person be compared with the gorillas?

Sure enough, their guess was not unreasonable. When the instructor Manren shouted at the beginning, the other muscles and sticks turned red, and they were lucky to hold the stone lock.

Xiong Yuanba suddenly swung his punch and smashed the stone lock under his feet. Then he hit the chest with one hand, making a loud noise.
