Emperor Xianfeng, the co-owner of the world, who had just drunk Laba porridge, was in a very unbeautiful mood, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the south and the Anglo-French-Yi people who attacked Dagukou twice were enough to give him a headache, and the bannermen in the capital followed suit. Yesterday afternoon, all the commanders and yamen came to report the news, and the children of the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing also made a fuss about the money and grain for the new year. The banner people who can't have money and food and can't have a good year go to the yamen of the commanders together. Xianfeng couldn't help but think of Su Shun's sentence "We flag people are many bastards", a group of bastards only care about their own materials, rice, oil and salt, and they can't understand the difficulties of national affairs at all.

As a unique system of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners system was not only the foundation of His Majesty the Emperor's maintenance of the system, but also the backward remnants of the primitive society of the Qing Dynasty. The Eight Banners took the Jurchen family tribe as the original unit, which was basically slavery under the management of the family. The Zoling was the smallest tribal unit, originally composed of a Jurchen noble family and all its slaves. The leader was the smallest slave owner, and he had to owe allegiance to the upper level of the big slave owners, who in turn owed direct allegiance to the emperor. After entering the customs, there was some progress, and the living standards of the slaves improved, but the basic mode of operation did not change.

Although the slavery system of the Eight Banners was backward, it also ensured the absolute loyalty of the banner people to the emperor, and there were very few cases of rebellions of the banner people in the Qing Dynasty. Since the Ming Dynasty, the centralized power has been unprecedentedly strengthened, and the Eight Banners system has also contributed to it. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the banner owners did have the ability to resist the central government, but they had been cut off during the Kangxi period, and official positions such as commanders and co-leaders were no longer hereditary. Although the hereditary leader was still left, the small slave owners only had a unit of a few hundred people, which was simply not enough to fight against the central government. Moreover, the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing are all under the strict supervision of the emperor, and the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing are also subject to all kinds of strict restrictions, and the small relatives and ancestral cemeteries are all hostages of the imperial court, and the banner people only have one way to go, absolute loyalty. Although the Eight Banners stationed outside the customs are looser in control, the poor villagers who have been living with bears and Siberian tigers all year round still count on the relief of His Majesty the Emperor, and there is no possibility of rebellion. Even if he has a heavy army and is as strong as Nian Qianyao, He Lin, and Aobai, he can only be killed in the face of the emperor's authority. After all, you have a kind of rebellion, and the people under you may not be so kind, and you can't ignore the family and ancestral cemetery! Of course, you can also play without your bannermen, but you rebelled with a bannerman, how much courage you have!

Although there is absolutely no problem with the loyalty of the Eight Banners, the soldiers of the Eight Banners under Xianfeng have nothing left but loyalty, and the Eight Banners Army during the Kangxi period was already what to eat and what to do. It's such a group of absolutely loyal people who don't have any skills, and Xianfeng has to keep them alive. First of all, the Eight Banners are the emperor's personal slaves, and it is only natural to ask the emperor for food. Secondly, the emperor and the banner man have a warm relationship, although they have been shouting for many years of the Manchu and Han families, but everyone has no bottom in their hearts after all. In the face of the large number of talented and intelligent Han people, the banner people are very weak-minded, they are already sinicized, but what if the Han people don't treat them as a family. Therefore, the emperor must support hundreds of thousands of banner people to give himself courage, and the leader must also unite around the emperor to keep warm.

When Xianfeng was worried, he relied on the most Manchurian, Su Shun and Du Han walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall with a smile on their faces. The two of them seemed to have just heard some funny joke, and the smile on their lips and at the corners of their eyes was very obvious.

"Any good news?" After the two of them gave the salute, Xianfeng asked unhappily.

"Back to the master, good news was sent from the south, and Jiangnan Dayingsheng captured Zhong Wanxin, the eldest son-in-law of Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the rebels!" Du Han bowed and replied.

"Oh! Why are you two laughing? "Although the son-in-law who caught Hong Xiuquan can cheer people's hearts, it is not a big deal.

"It's too ridiculous to rebel, it's obviously the eldest son-in-law, and the fake name of the canonization is actually Tianer's horse, it's unreasonable." Su Shun smiled disrespectfully.

"The eldest son-in-law, the second concubine ......" Xianfeng also fell into the dead cycle of mathematics like Guo Xing'a, and there was a smile on Xianfeng's depressed face.

"The Jiangnan battalion has come in many times, and Hechun can be regarded as a solid thing, who led the troops to fight this time?" Xianfeng felt quite comforted in his heart, and Haru was not a bastard.

"Long live back, this time it is still Guoxing'a, the good news said that Hechun commanded Guoxing'a to go deep into the rear of Changmao more than 200 miles, Lianke four counties, attacked nearly 20 places in Zhendian, killed one Changmao army marshal, two division commanders, nearly 100 brigade commanders and other generals, and beheaded more than 12,000 people. It was even more to capture Hong Xiuquan's eldest daughter and concubine, and forced the landing of Tan Shaoguang, the deputy general of the puppet king Li Xiucheng. Duhan recounted the general content of the good news.

"Recently, Hechun has reported ten times, and nine times have been for this Guoxing'......" Xianfeng was a little puzzled, Hechun's recent good news was basically Guoxing'a, as if there was only Guoxing'a alone in the entire Jiangnan camp, which was really too abnormal.

"Shengming is just the master, and Hechun has received a generous gift from Guoxing." Su Shun said it very unceremoniously.

"And Chun bullying Jun?" Xianfeng became nervous, the only way for the emperor to obtain information from the outside world was to play the fold, if the minister dared to openly bully the emperor in the fold, then the emperor would be in danger.

"Back to the master, this matter is a bit complicated, the slave sent someone to investigate, and the slave will tell the master carefully!" Su Shun had a posture of wanting to participate in a big party, and Du Han on the side was full of disapproval.

"What's the truth?" Xianfeng was very worried about the defeat of the frontline decoration.

"The so-called Hechun commanding Yunyun is just an officialdom cliché that cannot be taken seriously, the actual situation is that this Guoxinga automatically sent troops without an order, and the reason why Guoxinga sent troops was his great crime, and he should be taken from his post and imprisoned according to the law." Su Shun still had a resentful expression on his face.

"Why did Goxinga send troops?" Xianfeng was inexplicably brought into the story of this little leader.

"Back to the master, the slave sent someone to check, Guoxing'a currently has one of his own world management leaders, one of the eight banners of the garrison outside the customs, one of the eight Mongolian banners, and one hundred and fifty green battalion soldiers assigned to him by Hechun, a total of six hundred soldiers. Even if you add the Yu Ding family slaves under each leader, the total number is no more than seven or eight hundred. However, the actual number of Guoxinga's subordinate soldiers is close to 1,600, which is still the number before he sent his troops, and if his harvest this time is counted, it is estimated that the number will increase. Su Shun really pulled out a document from his sleeve and read it.

"How can there be so many more people in Goxinga?" What the emperor cares about most is the military, even if it is a small leader, he must guard against the slightest.

"Back to his master, since he inherited his father's position, he has gained a lot from several battles, except for the bribes given to Hechun and the important members of the Jiangnan camp, he has all collected them into his own private accounts. He did not be greedy for this money and grain, but used it to recruit soldiers and horses among the captives and hungry people, and claimed to be the house slaves he recruited, and at the most time he actually accepted 300 house slaves at one time. "Sushun's intelligence network is really not covered, and he knows all about the bad things in Guoxing'an.

"Private Placement Soldiers!" Xianfeng has already confirmed the first charge of Guo Xing'a.

"If you just get some bandits, you can still fool some hungry people, after the attack on the "Little Nanjing" battle, it collected more than 200 long-haired elites at one time. And after this war, he actually wanted to take Tan Shaoguang, the long-haired general he forced down, into his account. "Su Shun's words are reasonable.

"Surrender and rebel!" Xianfeng thought about the second charge again.

"The monthly food and salary issued by the imperial court is only the share of the regular soldiers, and the green camp is still a little in arrears. The so-called more than 200 miles behind the enemy is nothing more than looting, and the siege of the city and the uprooting of the fortress are only because of the food of the enemy. Su Shun lifted out the old bottom of Guoxing'a.

"He Chun doesn't know, Jiangnan Daying doesn't know?" Guoxing'a is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, and Xianfeng is more concerned about Jiangnan Daying.

"Back to the master, the minions can be found out clearly from afar in Beijing, how can the Jiangnan camp be close at hand, and they are blindfolded and gagged by the silver. The slave heard that after Guo Xing'a broke through Dangtu, he gave He Chun ten gold bars weighing a pound at one time. Guo Xing'a didn't ask for money from Hechun, he only sent money to Hechun, and he could also give the first level of credit, of course Hechun turned a blind eye. And not only Hechun, almost all the important members of the Jiangnan camp got the benefits of Guoxing'a, so naturally they all pretended to be deaf and dumb, and turned a blind eye to what Guoxing's actions were. "Su Shun has lifted the old bottom of the Jiangnan camp.

"What is the intention of Guoxing's private collection of troops and horses, recruiting and surrendering rebellion?" Xianfeng gritted his teeth and asked, "The flag people are all bastards, and the flag people are all bastards......

"I heard that he seems to have been looking for a long-haired general named Huang Daping desperately." Su Shun seemed to be thirsty suddenly, and stopped talking, Du Han could only come out to answer, and secretly scolded Su Shun in his heart.

"He Chun collected ten catties of gold from Guoxing, and your kid collected one hundred catties of gold from Guoxinga! You've put in a lot of effort! Du Han muttered secretly in his heart, he had already seen that Su Shun was helping Guo Xing'a.

"Huang Daping? It seems to be ......" Xianfeng had a little impression of the name Huang Daping in his mind.

"Back to the master, this traitor has been mentioned several times in the report of the Jiangnan camp, and he has fought with Guoxinga a few times. However, Guo Xing'a seemed to have a hard time beating him, although he won both, but he never succeeded in capturing this traitor! Du Han secretly glared at Su Shun, and Su Shun made it clear that he was asking Du Han to praise him.

"Guoxing's private accumulation of soldiers and horses is just to find this person for a decisive battle?" Xianfeng felt that this reason was too far-fetched.

"Ama of Guoxing, Hui Yang was killed in battle when Huang Daping attacked the camp." Su Shun jumped out again.

"Avenge your father!" Xianfeng found the right reason.

"Master, there are extenuating circumstances, and the law is difficult to forgive. Goxinga has violated the laws of the country! Su Shun seems to have forgotten that he has a friend named Hui Yang.

"What do you have to say?" Xianfeng was a little hesitant.

"The slave thought that Guo Xing'a should be immediately dismissed from his post and questioned, his subordinates should be resettled, and the recruited private soldiers should be dismissed on the spot." Su Shun seemed to be very resolute.

Xianfeng didn't speak, he was a little hesitant, Su Shun said the words "extenuating circumstances, the law is difficult to forgive" reminded him of a person. Pioneer eight-year scientific research fraud case, it is precisely because of these eight words that Xianfeng executed the important minister Bai Ye with tears, and Xianfeng regretted it many times afterwards. Bai Ye's sin was only sixteen taels of silver. This time Su Shun mentioned these eight words again, how could Xianfeng not be heartbroken. "Guoxing Ah is only thirteen years old, shouldn't he be given a chance?" , Xianfeng asked himself silently in his heart.

"Long live Lord, Guo Xing'a is still young after all, and in order to avenge his father, he is still loyal to the court. Besides, the Eight Banners Army is the foundation of the imperial court, and now that the situation of thousands of horses is dark, it is rare for him to be able to make repeated military exploits, if he rashly asks for the crime, I am afraid that it will dampen the morale of the army! Hearing Su Shun mention those eight words, Du Han knew that Xianfeng must have won the plan, so he could only come out to play a round and build a step for Xianfeng.

"Alright! Just give him a chance, after all, filial piety is commendable! "The pioneer went down the slope and got off the donkey.

"Knock him too! Although this victory greatly boosted the morale of our army, Guo Xing'a will not be rewarded. Reward all the generals under his command, that is. Su Shun didn't speak, Du Han could only do it with good and evil. It is also a habitual skill of the imperial court that the commander does not move to reward the generals, so that his subordinates have the possibility of breaking away from the commander, so as not to dominate the family, and this method is not used less to deal with the Hunan army. Du Han proposed this plan to appease Xianfeng, after all, Guoxing'a was still too small compared to the Hunan army.

"It's okay, Guo Xing's official position will not be rewarded, and he is too young. But don't chill the heart of the loyal minister and filial son, I will reward him with a word, and then give him the right to recruit soldiers and horses according to the regiment, that is. Xianfeng was very satisfied with Du Han's opinion, but he was also sure that Guo Xing'a, who was the banner man, had no possibility of rebellion, so he still appeased him.

After a few more discussions about the money and food of the people stationed in Beijing, Su Shun and Du Han knelt down and retired, but as soon as the two walked out of the door, Xianfeng's bitter voice came from behind them.

"Su Liu, you are really worthy of a friend!"
