Since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchurian emperors have constantly shouted the Manchu and Han families, but it has always been an indisputable fact that the Manchus have privileges, and if the fighting power of the banner people is still maintained, there is nothing to say. Eighty percent of the Han people will still be honest, but this Hongyang Rebellion has exposed the details of the Eight Banners Green Camp.

After Zeng Li Hu Zuo and his ilk took charge of the army, they were all private soldiers of the generals, and now the governors are sitting in the hands of the army and there is no difference between them and the likes of vassal kings. Of course, Xianfeng and the imperial court also knew that this situation was not right, and the Han governors wanted nothing more than territory and power, but those Taiping troops really wanted to cut off all the heads of the Manchurians. Now that the Taiping army is gone, the Hanchen Governor can't take care of the tail, and he can only choose the lesser of two harms.

Now that the southern part of the Qing Dynasty has reached a certain point, if the Han officials sent by the imperial court do not lose their sincerity to the local governors, they will die in a few days.

If the imperial court sent a Manchu official to be a magistrate in the south, he would have died because of bandits and robbery before he took office. Gui Liang's ability to survive actually has a lot to do with his life, and the six cannons were all fired at his sedan car.

Even a high-ranking official at the level of governor was also killed by the Hunan army group to deter Xiaoxiao - Zhang Wenxiang, a murderer who had killed people, turned himself in on the spot and threatened to kill people because of personal vendetta. (What is the difference between this and the boss in the Hong Kong police and gangster film, and the younger brother is guilty of the crime, there is still a pomp and circumstance of dozens of people around a governor, and Zhang Wenxiang is not a little brother)

Originally, in history, this person would not be hacked to death until he sat in the position of the governor of Liangjiang, but now he was hacked to death just because he refused to give up his foolish loyalty to the imperial court. At that time, the Manchu court was so frightened that the Manchu court thought that the Hunan army was going to rebel, and transferred Lao Zeng back to the position of the governor of Liangjiang to reassure the people. The one who died died in vain.

This time and space are almost the same, Zhang Wenxiang is so righteous and slashes people and pleads guilty, how could the Xiang army kill him. The method is also simple, and I found a random one among the condemned prisoners and replaced Zhang Wenxiang's death sentence. As for Zhang Wenxiang himself, he changed his name and surname to live a good life with silver. This kind of thing is not unusual, it has been there since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it is called beheading the white goose, and the rich and powerful people will not really die if they commit a capital crime and are sentenced to death.

In this way, the situation of the Qing Dynasty is already eating jujube pills. It's funny to say, but now the life of the Qing Dynasty is hanging on to it, but the warlords have not yet discussed the distribution of benefits after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty.

People who are not stupid can see that the troubled times are about to rise now, but when the five dynasties and ten kingdoms were in turmoil, those who were elected as emperors were all killed by a thousand knives. Today's warlords are not warlords who don't read in later generations, but warlords who are full of poetry and books and twenty-four histories, so they are more careful in doing things.

On the contrary, such a situation is what Song Haiping is happy to see, and if China jumps out of a strongman at this time to forcibly reunify, it may not be a good thing, of course, for Song Haiping. Before Qin swept the Six Kingdoms, it was an era of great explosion of Chinese culture and thought, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought was also the most glorious era in feudal history.

As for the comparison between Dong Zhongshu, Zhu Xi and the others who followed and the thinkers of the pre-Qin period, in the words of Sijiucheng, they are gods. After the Qin Dynasty, more than 2,000 years later, there was only one Chinese thinker, Wang Yangming, but the essence of Xinxue, the unity of knowledge and action, has long been lost by the successors of Xinxue.

Now that the ten southern provinces are in the hands of five Han governors, they will soon discover that the greatest wealth in this land is actually population. People are needed for farming, people are needed for work, and people are needed to be soldiers. Population is everything.

But if they impose harsh governance in their own territory, the population will naturally leave the land. At that time, there will be a vicious circle of squeezing and getting less. Until the ruler comes to his senses or is unable to maintain his military junta.

Now it is not to be an official for the imperial court, but to be an official for himself and future generations, and to manage the place, not afraid that they will be lazy or looting. This is like the selfless wealth of the Son of Heaven, and the current governor is like a man of the world.

At this time, the negotiations between the imperial court and the British and French invaders were being carried out through the Americans, and since the British and French dared to send troops to resist the invasion of the Qing Dynasty, the navy and the army were all annihilated, and the British and French invaders, who were the big brothers and second brothers of the whole world, demanded that the Qing Dynasty must surrender unconditionally, and also needed to dismantle the forts, hand over the ironclad fleet and other weapons, and pay hundreds of millions of taels of silver in compensation, and the cession of land should also be considered. There are also war criminals, including Xianfeng, who must be punished.

In short, what was not obtained on the battlefield, Britain and France wanted to get it back from the negotiating table.

It's a pity that the Qing Dynasty has not yet made people lose their hearts, and the Qing Dynasty will never give it to the negotiating table that cannot be obtained on the battlefield. Especially after hearing the attitude of Britain and France, the Qing Dynasty put forward counter-conditions through the Americans.

First, the Anglo-French forces should surrender unconditionally to our Qing Dynasty.

Second, cede all the colonial interests to me in the Qing Dynasty.

Third, the indemnity of the Qing Dynasty war is 500 million taels of silver or the equivalent of gold, and the exchange ratio of gold and silver is calculated according to 1:10 of the Qing Dynasty.

Fourth, punish war criminals, from opium traders to the British and French kings.

Fifth, all churches, including those in England and France, should be demolished, and no other gods should be worshipped except Lao Tzu, Shakyamuni, and Confucius.

Obviously, Britain and France could not agree to any of these conditions. The attitudes of both sides are more horizontal than the other, but they are temporarily unable to fight the opponent, and they are both poor. Soon the negotiations reached an impasse.

It's okay for me in the Qing Dynasty, there is no Britain and France to trade, and there are four major trading partners of Spain, Portugal, the United States, and Japan - the European market is now cheaper than Portugal and Spain, and these two countries can also make a lot of money by doing some entrepot trade. In particular, these four countries did not use foreign cloth and opium to draw gold from the market, but were all silver importers, at least equal trading countries such as Japan.

Without trade with China, although it was a little uncomfortable for Britain and France, it would not be fatal, after all, the two countries had many colonies, and they could also loot a lot from the colonies to the mainland every year.

However, for the eldest brother and second brother like Britain and France, it is really unbearable to be slapped in the face, especially after being slapped in the face on the battlefield, he was slapped in the face at the negotiation table. Just the first unconditional surrender to the natives of the East is unbearable.

In Paris, King Napoleon of France called on the people in a public speech: "The war of punishment against China must be fought, and as long as there is the last African servant army left in France, I will never consider unconditional surrender to China." ”

In London, at Parliament, the British Prime Minister: "My holy Great Britain will punish the world, and Britain will never consider surrendering unconditionally to China as long as there is the last Indian Asar servant army left." ”

In Xi'an, 150,000 troops were raised into Xianfeng in the northwest, and soon found that the people here were fierce, and they often cut people and fought people. However, it is indeed a very good soldier, especially most of the locals, who are very poor and do not care about the reputation of being a soldier to eat food, after the huge airships of the Japanese continuously sent food, Xianfeng soon established a group of up to one million people in the Hui Eight Banners, and expanded the 150,000 people of the Hanmeng Manchurian Eight Banners to 500,000. And these units were all cavalry, at least also mounted infantry units.

In addition, a recruiting force that went deep into Qinghai and Tibet also brought surprises to Xianfeng, and soon established a Tibetan Eight Banners of more than 200,000 people. Tibetans can endure hardships, lie in the ice and sleep in the snow is a daily routine, and when a battle starts, they can only advance and not retreat -- let alone retreat, and if they fall behind others when they charge, they will be scolded for being cowards for the rest of their lives.

Xianfeng, who is deeply aware of the people's support, now has a little confidence to open a film with the million-strong Russian army. Lao Tzu now has an army of more than two million plus Minfu, I'm afraid you Russian bird.

For Russia, Xianfeng is not blind now. According to the information provided by the Japanese envoys, the Russian troops are different from the units of other countries, and it is said that the combat effectiveness of the well-disciplined troops is always higher, but in Russia, on the contrary, the Russian troops have never been disciplined but their combat effectiveness is acceptable.

The fighting style of Russia is that after arriving on the battlefield, the officers give out strong drinks, everyone gets drunk and charges, and there is no discipline at all, but the combat effectiveness is really not low, especially after drinking too much.

But the Russian army was not invincible, and Sweden at this time was a powerful country in the German Confederation, and it had been competing with Russia for hundreds of years, winning more and losing less. The way to the westward expansion of Russia has been blocked.

In Europe, the Ottoman Turkey that Russia can bully safely is Ottoman Turkey, but Ottoman Turkey is not an all-European country, and most of the land population is in Asia.
