728 The threat of the Confucian scholars

In all fairness, Cixi is not a person who does not understand politics, on the contrary, her political maturity is far greater than that of the ministers in the court, otherwise in real history, this woman would not have been in charge of the Qing Dynasty until her death.

If Cixi is now in power, and this Great Qing Kingdom is what she says, then even if her own son is assassinated, not to mention that the assassination is unsuccessful, even if she succeeds and is seriously injured, she has to calm down and calm down, first look at the family background of the Great Qing Dynasty before speaking.

How many soldiers are there, how much food is there, and if the sea soldiers are crossed, does the Qing Dynasty have enough ships, and if they don't go to that country to borrow?

Even the attitudes of the great powers of various countries have to be taken into account, who is in the same league with whom, and who has extraneous branches, and these are not what mature politicians should say if they don't want to be clear.

But everyone understands her mood of being a mother, and no one will give her a face on this occasion.

Ci'an was tired in her heart, she knew very well what Cixi was thinking in her heart, out of the core control of the Great Qing Kingdom, she thought that this family was no longer needed by her. If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, anyway, in the end, all the problems can be forgotten and pushed on the head of the Empress Dowager Dong.

There is no money to find Ci'an, no food to find Ci'an, no soldiers have to find Ci'an, since Cixi is no longer responsible, then how to toss and come.

None of the people present were stupid, and they could understand what Cixi was thinking, but today they were bitter masters, and no one present could refute them.

The wind outside the window was getting stronger and stronger, and the black clouds were overwhelming the city, and the northwest sky even saw a lightning dragon walking. Cixi vented for a quarter of an hour, and then she took the sour plum soup and drank it all as if she were drinking spirits.

Before the other princes and ministers could speak, several Hanlin brought in by Weng Tonggong jumped out first, since ancient times, the literati were so angry, these scholars with different economies only had a fanatical mind, of course, they supported the dispatch of troops, in their eyes, if the big country of the Celestial Empire let the Japanese small setbacks be humiliated, it would be a great shame.

It has been nearly 200 years since the Manchus entered the customs, and it is a miracle that the regime established by the ethnic minorities in Chinese history has been able to rule the Central Plains, which is dominated by Han Chinese, for so long.

Of course, some people will say that the Li royal family of the Tang Dynasty also had ethnic minority blood? Aren't they also Zhengshuo? But don't forget that the Li royal family of the Tang Dynasty claimed to be Han people through and through, and didn't everyone recognize Lao Tzu Li Er as their ancestor?

Regardless of the ancestry of the people, their ideas and customs of governing the country are still very close to the Han people, so they can be recognized by the main class of the Han people.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was different, shaving hair and changing clothes to implement master-slave politics, and the absolute centralization of power was greatly improved in the killing and literary prison, and it can be said that the most centralized power in all dynasties was this Manchu Qing.

But why did such a dynasty get the support of the Han people and the doctor class? The truth in this can not be said to be endless for three days and three nights, but today in the Qiwang Tower, these Hanlin have faintly revealed some of the true thoughts of the scholars.

Since ancient times, Chinese literati have had a dream of a great power, a dream of a strong country, and the coming of all countries is real in history, and the Han and Tang dynasties dominated the Western Regions and the desert, which is an indelible ideal of Chinese literati.

If we open the map of China in the past dynasties, we can find that the territory of the Qing Dynasty was actually what China really looked like.

Western Regions, Mongolia, Qinghai-Tibet, Baishan and Heishui...... These areas, which had always threatened the Han people, were integrated under the rule of the Manchus, and the Han elites could completely attach themselves to the Manchu administrative system and spread the light of Han civilization to the frontiers.

This is a good thing that the Confucian scholars of all dynasties and dynasties could not even think of! Even in the eyes of Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Xiao Letian, and others, with the help of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the ideas of the Han people were spread out, and little by little the hostility of the border areas towards the Central Plains Dynasty was tempered, so that the mutual integration of nationalities was a little faster.

Maybe 50 years from now, maybe 100 years from now, these old enemies of the Han people will become provinces of China, what a wonderful thing.

The Manchus are using the Han people, so why are the Han people not using the Manchus?

The Manchus squeezed the surplus value of the Han people to support the imperial family and the Eight Banners, and the Han elites did not use the Manchu bows and archery and their leadership position among the aliens to carry out ethnic integration?

The use is always mutual, there is no reason in the world to only take advantage of the situation and not suffer losses, as long as you can protect the current more than 10 million square kilometers of land, then what if the Han people provide for you for a hundred more years.

But if you can't keep these lands, then I'm sorry that the food of the Han people is not eaten in vain, and naturally someone will replace it.

Today, of course, these Hanlin will not say things so bluntly, but they have already revealed such thoughts in and out of the words: "Xiyi came from the sea and caught us off guard, which is understandable, and it is indeed difficult to resist the strong ships and artillery...... Xinjiang Agubai rebelled against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and you can't send any elites, so let our Zuo Jigao go, and let our Han Hunan army go......"

"On the surface, it is fighting with Aguba in Central Asia, but in fact it is still fighting with the Russians after other generations......

"Now the problem is out, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was suppressed by our Han people, and the rebellion set off by Russia was also led by Zuo Zongtang to the top with the Hunan army, as for the unequal treaties of the British and French powers, it is also the taxes of our Han people to fill in the money, to put it bluntly, it is the protection fee......"

"What do we Han people dare to do, what's the use of asking you Manchurians? Now even a small Japan has kicked its nose in the face, may I ask such a small country, can't you Manchu Qing solve it?"

Hanlin said very tactfully, but the people present listened to it one by one in a cold sweat, no one is a fool, everyone can understand, especially Weng Tongyi's final finishing touch, which made the corners of Yi's eyes twitch constantly.

"If the Osaka assassination incident is not resolved, I am afraid that the country of the Great Qing Dynasty will be shaken!"

What is the country? The country is the people's heart, and it is easy to get off to a good start, but if it is disturbed because of this matter, I am afraid that God will not give the Qing Dynasty a second chance.

To be tough, we have to be tough on Japan, and when it comes to this, we can only rush upward. However, there must be a man who is tough and ugly to be tough! Is it tough negotiations or tough troop mobilization? Or negotiate first and then move troops, and first move troops and then negotiate, this grand strategic goal must always be brought out!

There was a sudden quarrel in the Qiwang Tower!
