Chapter 342: Pants and Braids (Second Shift)
The little emperor was already crying, and it stands to reason that this fight can't go on anymore, but the Empress Dowager Xi and Su Shun are both angry, and they can't care about it. The Empress Dowager Xi is competitive and competitive, and she is the master, how can she be bullied by her subordinates. Su Shun is a notoriously stubborn donkey, but he has not contradicted Xianfeng in the past, but this time the truth is on his side, and he is even more unwilling to back down.
"What did you say?" Su Shun directly said that the Empress Dowager Xi was redundant, and the Empress Dowager Xi stood up angrily.
"The minister of Gu Ming was ordered by Emperor Daxing to assist the young master, and it was superfluous to ask the Queen Mother to see the excerpt!" Su Shunqi bumped up and repeated the cruel words again.
"Auxiliary young master, what you said is very good! Look at the emperor, a six-year-old child can't live without Ene (Manchu mother), it's not us who makes the decision for him, who makes the decision for him! The Empress Dowager Xi began to move, trying to calm her mind.
"You have heard clearly, now that I have passed on the emperor's will, you take this fold back and redraft it according to what I explained yesterday!" The Empress Dowager Xi walked a few steps, but she became more and more angry, and directly threw Jiao Youying's prepared edict in front of Su Shun and the others.
"State affairs are different from family affairs, please take back the Queen Mother!" Du Han stiffened his sentence in a calm tone.
"Humph! Take back the fate, what the Queen Mother said doesn't count, and the emperor is too young, isn't it what you say! So why bother asking us! You just need to be overshadowed! "The Queen Mother of the West has reached her limit.
"We are under the will of Emperor Daxing, and we are executing the edict of Emperor Daxing!" The Empress Dowager Xi repeatedly asked to implement Dong Yuanol's proposals, wanting to break the political pattern formulated by Xianfeng, and Su Shun couldn't bear it anymore. He said indignantly as he stood up from the ground.
"Please take care of the dignity of the Holy Mother!" Duhan followed suit and stood up.
These two soul figures came together, and Duanhua, Zaiyuan, Kuang Yuan and others stood up one after another. In the end, when he saw that everyone else was up, he also stood up in fear, but he dodged back, wanting Duanhua and the others to block him.
The official uniform of the Qing Dynasty is mainly black, and if you go to the red tassel, it can be a little infiltrating, and this is the reason why the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty is always used in zombie movies. The eight ministers came together with a fierce momentum, just like eight zombies, unspeakably scary, and even the sunlight outside the hall was blocked by them. Not to mention the honest Queen Mother East, even the Queen Mother West who has been showing her teeth and claws, is also scared.
"Ah...... Woo woo woo ...... "The little emperor was just scared and crying just now, but this time he completely began to howl, and he drilled into the arms of the East Empress Dowager one by one. And as he drilled, a warm current rushed down the little emperor's trousers, and even the clothes of the Empress Dowager were wet. Urine trickled down from the couch and fell on the couch.
Su Shun looked at the little emperor who was already scared to pee, and couldn't help but think of the Xianfeng who knew him, believed in him, and used him, and remembered the merry man who treated people gently. Su Shun hesitated, finally sighed, and fell to his knees again. When the others saw Su Shun kneeling, they all knelt down again.
"Go down, go down! It's not like words, you guys are so unlikely! "The Empress Dowager Xi has been frightened, she has the ability to cause trouble, but if a real disaster comes, she will be stunned. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Dong, who had been holding the little emperor, stabilized her posture and said that she dismissed the eight ministers, which was regarded as a pause in this conflict.
Su Shun glanced at the little emperor helplessly, and kowtowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager and the little emperor, before leading the eight ministers to retreat. After the eight ministers went, the Empress Dowager Dong hugged the little emperor and cried bitterly, she was also frightened just now. The Empress Dowager West slowed down for a while before she recovered, looking at the Empress Dowager and the little emperor who were hugging each other tightly and crying bitterly, she was about to crush her teeth.
In the afternoon, the Empress Dowager East was appeasing the little emperor, but the Empress Dowager West did not care about her own son, but hurriedly returned to the palace to summon An Dehai, who had just returned from Beijing. Today's incident is simply a great shame for the Empress Dowager Xi, and she must take revenge. The last time Yi Xin came to Chengde, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces also left a secret that she did not tell Guo Xing'a, Yi Xin in addition to saying some strange things, but also left a strange Buddhist scripture. The smart Queen Mother of the West, in order to appease Prince Gong at that time, and also to prepare an extra road for herself, left this Buddhist scripture, and also asked about the use of this Buddhist scripture. Today she was already hating it so much that the eight ministers had touched her bottom line, and she decided to use this sutra. After making a paper-cut by himself, An Dehai took the handicrafts made by the Queen Mother and rushed back to Beijing again.
When the Empress Dowager Xi gritted her teeth, Guoxinga was not idle, and the recruits in Gu'an and Chengde had recently been able to walk out of the recruit camp, which was originally a good thing, but Guoxing's mood was not good at all. There was Changxi's head pressed on Chengde's side, whether it was cutting braids or dividing the company, there was no chaos, but Gu'an almost made a mutiny. When the eight ministers were just facing off with Dong Yuanol and the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, Guo Xing'a received an official letter from Bi Yuntao from Chengde, requesting that the recruits of the third battalion be given special care and not cut their braids. This brainless application made Guoxing'a confused, but fortunately, the information from the miscellaneous affairs department also arrived, explaining the actual situation in Gu'an.
The recruits of Bi Yuntao's three battalions were mainly refugees from Shandong and other places, as well as civilian recruits from Gu'an and surrounding counties. However, this time there are some differences between the people and the previous hungry people, although they are also people who fled their homes to escape the war, but when they go out, they still carry gold and silver, and they are not mixed to the extent that they can't eat. When the boot camp was trained, these honest people from the village had no storms, and they were much stronger than the banner people on the side of Goxinga. Not to mention making trouble, even deserters are very few. But as soon as they got out of the barracks, when it came time to cut their braids according to the regulations, the gang stopped doing it, saying that they would not cut anything. Bi Yuntao was also a little resistant when he cut his own braids, so he didn't take it too seriously, thinking that it would be good to scare him with military law. Na Cheng thought that the attitude of these recruits was very resolute, not only was he not frightened by Bi Yuntao, but he also directly confronted them by force. If it weren't for the good effect of brainwashing and education, the instructors of each company could suppress the scene, and almost broke out in a mutiny. Although he didn't really fight, Bi Yuntao didn't cut the recruits' braids.
The miscellaneous section has always been careful, and they also went out of their way to interview these recruits who were unwilling to cut their braids, but the answers they got were varied.
"How can this braid be cut! We can be serious people, if we cut our braids, this is a monk, or an old way! It's not a monk, how ugly! ”
"How can a big man not have braids, this no braids, how to find a daughter-in-law in the future!"
"Do not destroy the parents who have given them the skin! We serve as soldiers and eat food, but we can't be unfilial for the sake of food! Let's charge, we didn't say it, but this braid can't be cut! After cutting our braids, how will we go to see our ancestors in the future! ”
"What will I do in the future without braids!"
"I have to go home and ask my mother ......"
…………
Guo Xing'a looked at all kinds of inexplicable reasons, and he really couldn't laugh or cry. In modern times, this braid can be regarded as a symbol of the barbarism of the Manchurian Tatars, and it is a destruction of the Chinese costume. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when Dolgon adopted the advice of the Han official Sun Zhiqi and forcibly implemented the shaving order, it caused a great turmoil that almost shook the country's capital, and almost caused the Qing Dynasty to die 250 years ahead of schedule. Yan Yingyuan led 100,000 righteous people in Jiangyin to oppose the shaving order, and defeated the Qing army of 240,000 and more than 200 heavy artillery. Trapped in the lonely city for 81 days, the Qing army broke three kings and eighteen generals in a row. In the end, the city of Jiangyin was broken, and none of the righteous people surrendered, and the Qing Beile Bolo and the Ming general Liu Liangzuo slaughtered the city, and there were only fifty-three survivors in Jiangyin.
Yan Yingyuan inscribed on the gate of Jiangyin; "Eighty days with allegiance, the figure of the Seventeenth Dynasty of Taizu. 100,000 people died with one heart and left 300 miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty. A hundred years later, it still makes people's hearts stir to read. But only 200 years have passed, and it is already easy to cut the braids of the flag people, but it is difficult to cut the braids of the Han people.
"Mr. Zeyuan, can I cut your braids?" Guo Xing'a, who really couldn't figure it out, suddenly found that the former thief Pi Runmin next to him still had braids, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's okay for students to grow their hair, but it's not okay to shave their heads!" Pi Runmin was a little embarrassed by Guo Xing's sudden question.
"Why! This braid should be a great shame for the Han people! Why don't you want to cut it! Goxinga touched his Mosingan head and began to be confused.
"The student can solve the doubts of the military gate, but there are some disrespectful words in this internal situation, please don't be surprised by the military gate!" Pi Runmin really understands the minds of these Han recruits.
"What scruples do you have between me and you!" Guo Xinga shook his hand very carelessly.
"The student is offended! After all, the flag man was originally a Hu person, and he didn't care about the hair and skin of this body, and it was common for the flag man to tattoo his face and hair in the customs of the flag people. This braiding is just a matter of shaving your head, what's the big deal, not to mention that there is a saying that the heroes who died in battle return to their hometowns with their braids. Pi Runmin scolded the bald donkey in front of the monk, calling Guo Xing'a a Hu person, and he would definitely jump if he changed other flag people, but Guo Xing'a didn't react at all. Later, when Yingling returned to his hometown, Pi Runmin had a weird smile on his face, and when he heard about this statement, he felt that Guoxing was a ghost.
"Huh! It's just a matter of bringing back some of the remains of the deceased to comfort their families. Chop off some limbs and go back, even if it is bloody and not easy to carry, of course, it is easy to take things like hair and nails! A little pigtail is just a self-soothing statement! Guo Xing'a also knew what Pi Runmin was laughing at.
"The military is taught! Hu Ren didn't care about the hair and skin on the limbs, so he naturally kept it if he wanted to, and he said that he would cut it, and it would be convenient and comfortable! The Han people are different, the parents of the body and skin! In ancient times, this shaved head tattoo was a heavy punishment, second only to the beheaded. If the military gate asks the recruits to braid, they will think that the military gate will let them restore their ancestors' clothes, and it will be bad if they only cut their braids. Daqing shaved his hair, and he left some braids, you are more ruthless than Dolgon, and you don't keep an inch of hair! Hahaha..."Pi Runmin knows that Guoxing's shaving is to learn the Western hairstyle, although it has the benefits of lightness and hygiene, but in Pi Runmin's eyes, the West is more barbarian than the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
"So those recruits don't have that much to do!" Guo Xinga just can't get used to this big braid.
"Originally, they were all hungry people who were about to starve to death, and they exchanged their braids for their lives, of course they endured it, but this time the children of the Duliang family are naturally different!" Pi Runmin still shook his head and smiled.
"They're not allowed to cut their braids first!" Goxinga is a little unrelenting.
"Junmen, you mean that the students know, but this is a subtle thing, and I can't rush it! Even if you send troops to suppress it and forcibly cut their braids, the concept has not come, and it is not all the same! Pi Runmin said the key in one sentence.
"Yes, the concept is important, the braid is just the performance, it doesn't matter!" Guo Xing'a was also like a portrait in the past, and he was trapped in the image and didn't want to open it. Who cares about that in the modern world? There are all streaking!
"Mr. Zeyuan, you know what I mean, look at your braids...... Your concept ...... "Guoxing Ah promised the Gu'an recruits not to cut their braids, and then chased Pi Runmin and chattered.
