Volume VIII 1261 Robbers share the spoils
Next chapter
"The Manchus have learned the lessons of countless ethnic minorities in history before entering the Central Plains, and they know very well that it is very dangerous and unrealistic to rely on a minority to enslave the majority, and it may be possible to get a little cheap in the short term, but sooner or later the Han people will have to fight back......
"Not only do they fight back, but the Han people are also good at grabbing some interest, and those Han people are wilting and rotten...... Therefore, the Manchus began to form an alliance, and he decided to reach an alliance of interests with the most populous and powerful ethnic groups to control the wealth of the Central Plains......"
"The Mongols were the first to get on the chariot, and they needed ironware, salt, tea bricks, all kinds of medicine, cloth and silk and other goods from the Central Plains, and they also needed the annual taxes of the Han people to support their luxurious life......
"There are also Hui Ministries, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong are also beating and wooing, and finally even coaxed and persuaded to pull their chariots, those frontier Hui Ministries don't need to pay a penny of taxes to the imperial court, but they can often get the support of Central Plains goods and silver, not to mention anything else, just the silver of the earthquake magnitude grassland white disaster and drought every year, how much is that?"
"Ahem, ahem...... If ......you look at Tibet, the Manchus have already established Tibetan Buddhism as the state religion, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has built lama temples everywhere.
"In fact, all the qiē strategies have roots, and what they do is nothing more than to control the majority with a minority, so that it is easier to control the Central Plains and the Han people...... In their eyes, they are a bunch of slaves who only know how to work!"
In the face of the old peasants and his own brothers, Zeng Guofan finally said what was in his heart, which was also a high-level imperial mental technique that they had never touched, which belonged to the real national grand strategy.
Zeng Guofan is worthy of being a masterpiece, he has the same ability to stretch the timeline as Xiao Letian, and when faced with a problem, they can stretch the timeline to a hundred years and a thousand years, and then analyze it comprehensively. In this way, the mind will not be bound by a little fog in front of you.
Jiu Shuai and the old farmer were stupid, Jiu Shuai himself was also a scholar, and the realm between him and his eldest brother was actually a layer of window paper, and now that he had an epiphany, he naturally had an epiphany.
Jiu Shuai was sweating in shock, he didn't expect his realm to be so different from his eldest brother, and it was really the first time for him to look at the problem from this angle.
After all, the old peasant was born as a martial artist, and he was more of a decisive warrior, and when he heard the conspiracy and tricks of the Manchu people in the past two hundred years, his breath suddenly became heavy. The cold towel in his hand became tighter and tighter, and finally the sturdy dipped towel infused with internal force was actually twisted into pieces in an instant.
"Damn! Is this bullying me, no one in China? It's too despicable......"
Zeng Guofan waved his hand, "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's despicable, if the minority group wants to live, or even want to live well, he has to use this kind of poisonous trick and trick, otherwise, with the huge number of Han people, they would have already lost all the bones and slag they chewed......"
"Now the shape has changed, the Westerners have been killed from the sea, and the Manchus have suffered a big loss in several battles, at this time the dream of the Heavenly Empire has gradually faded, and those Manchus who took the lead in calming down have remembered their minority identity......"
"Once you get rid of your hubris, what do you think the Manchurians will do?"
Zeng Dashuai shook his head, "There will be no self-improvement, and there will be no great development of industrialization, Manchurians are born without knowing how to build, that's not what they are good at...... Their only choice is still the old way, and that is to pull the Western alien race to join the alliance!"
"The Han people are a gold mine, in the past, the Manchus and those ethnic groups divided the gold, and now the British, the French, and the Russians have also come and want to share the gold in this gold mine...... At first, they don't agree with the crowd and they want to fight, but what if they can't beat it?"
"Hahaha...... If you can't beat it, you can negotiate and divide the distribution rights of this gold mine again, and it is better for each family to eat less than to be defeated and have nothing to eat at all!"
"To give a simple example, in the past, the Manchus themselves swallowed sixty percent, but now let the Westerners come in and mix it, and add a foreign gun and cannon plus a civil war...... As a result, they found that they couldn't eat 60 percent, so what should they do? Then sell the country, sell 30 percent of what they have in their hands, and sell it to foreign devils......
"It's better to keep 30 percent by yourself than not to keep 10 percent! So don't scold people for betraying the country, what are they selling? In fact, they didn't sell anything! It's just that the robbers divide the spoils and renegotiate the proportion......
Saying that, Zeng Guofan was already overdrawn here, and he couldn't say it anymore, and the cold sweat on his body soaked his clothes, and he waved his hand lightly at Jiu Shuai and said, "Go...... Let me rest and rest!You can find a way to send a report to Xiao Letian...... Let him be careful, he must be cautious, but don't let people copy the nest of the Far Eastern Volunteers......"
Da Shuai was sleepy, his head rested on the pillow and fell asleep, the old farmer and Jiu Shuai quietly left the room, stood in the cold wind and took a few deep breaths.
The old peasant said with great grief and indignation: "It's just such a bullshit court, what are you doing to protect him? Why doesn't the big marshal go against him? Why don't you go against it......
Jiu Shuai shook his head and sighed, patting the old farmer's shoulder, "I didn't understand it before, but now I understand! It's not that my eldest brother doesn't have the imperial dragon energy, nor does it mean that my eldest brother doesn't have that ability...... It's a pity that my eldest brother didn't have that opportunity!"
"Rebellion doesn't happen overnight, it takes time to run little by little...... My eldest brother and I are both old, we have the ability but we don't have the time. No wonder the eldest brother values Xiao Lotian so much! Age is a qiē, young and naturally invincible......"
"If Xiao Lotian wins this battle, he will go back to Europe and do it again...... I'm afraid there will be no one in this world who can restrain him!"
The old peasant said unwillingly, "Then let's make him a wedding dress for nothing?"
Jiu Shuai had already had an epiphany at this moment, he looked at the old farmer with a smile and asked rhetorically, "Then we should make wedding clothes for the Manchurians for nothing?"
One sentence asked the old farmer, and the night wind blew through the cold heart.
Fuqing's telegram was gathered in front of the old man, and he did not dare to slack off and hurriedly put together the details of his talks with the Russian minister and this telegram, and sent it to the Forbidden City.
But something unexpected happened to Weng Tongyi, and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces did not say anything, but just nodded and praised the old man and Fuqing a few words, and finally the matter was actually put on hold.
Lao Weng and Fuqing returned to their original posts, and the negotiation team was disbanded!
Before the Great War, the air in the whole of East Asia seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were on the sea to the east, this battle was destined to change the political and power structure of East Asia, and at this moment the Russian fleet was gradually approaching Amami Oshima.
