Chapter 445: The Battle for Flags and Salaries

Two days later, Guo Ye also arrived in Beijing.

returned to Beijing City, Guo Ye did not return to his home, and went straight to Prince Gong's mansion.

"Hao Nan, call the door!"

Wang Haonan came to the door, picked up his fist, and smashed a few punches on the door.

There was an angry shout from inside: "What knock, are you dead?" It's bad luck for Lao Tzu......"

Saying this, the corner door of Prince Gong's Mansion opened, revealing a head, which was Zaire, the gatekeeper of Prince Gong's Mansion.

Zaire looked at Wang Haonan, he didn't know him, he was just about to scold angrily, he raised his head, saw Guo Ye at a glance, and was stunned, it was General Guo, General Guo is back!

"General Guo, no, no, grandpa, when did you come back? Oops, damn it! The little one is saying hello to my grandfather! ”

Guo Ye shouted: "Okay, there is so much nonsense there, immediately lead me to see the prince!" ”

"Oops!"

Zaire agreed, ran back with a roll, and opened the main door, this lord is in the mind of King Gong, the status is more important than Prince Alcohol, and now the court is in a mess, and I am looking forward to his return.

Guo Ye entered the palace and said, "Lead the way ahead!" ”

Zaire replied: "Grandpa and the little one are here, the prince just didn't go to court today, and he is still in the study!" ”

Zaire led the way leading Guo Ye in front, and there was still some distance from the study, so he shouted: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, look who is coming, you, General Guo, no, Grandpa Guo is back!" ”

Yixin is sitting in the study, these days are really uncomfortable, Seng Lingqin died, Wang Huanzhang and the bandits were raided in Baoding, Jinan City, the crisis in the south of the Yangtze River has not been significantly alleviated, and Yixin is really a little out of breath.

Just now, just now, Yixin just scolded Zaire and hit the gatehouse on duty, but I didn't expect that in the past half an hour, this kid ran back and yelled all the way, which is really annoying!

Wait a minute! Who's back? General Guo, Grandpa Guo?

Could it be, could it be that Guo Ye's kid is back?

Yixin stood up and pulled the door open, only to see Guo Ye standing in the courtyard.

Yixin's heart was stirring, and finally, this kid finally came back ******!

However, Yixin didn't show it on the surface, snorted coldly, and shouted: "What, you kid still know to come back?" Could it be that Jiangshan Sheji is not as important as your face? Bastard thing! ”

Guo Ye smiled faintly and said, "Lord Wang, why, as soon as I came back, you entertained me with a scolding?" ”

Yixin snorted coldly and said, "Come in, stinky boy!" ”

Guo Ye walked into the study and sat down.

Yixin glared at Guo Ye, and said angrily: "If you kid doesn't come back, your wife and children will be robbed by bandits!" The two queen mothers and I have repeatedly sent you letters, giving you a title and rising again and again, what else do you have to be angry about? You have the ability to never come back for the rest of your life! ”

Guo Ye shook his head and replied: "Lord Wang, I said it when I went to the United States, but those old guys in the court are tougher than one another, ******, who do they think of themselves?" If they have the ability, they will go south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to fight long hair, and if they don't have the ability, then they will be honest with their tails between them! A bunch of rubbish! If you don't give them a long memory, they will never know how many pounds and taels they have! ”

Yi Xin was scorched and tender by Guo Ye's words, and the anger in this kid's heart hasn't come out yet?

"If it weren't for the martyrdom of the monk king, Lao Tzu really didn't want to come back? The president of the United States, that is to take me as a baby, I myself can command tens of thousands of people to fight the rebels in the United States, that is very majestic, return home? Do you want me to continue to look at the faces of those big guys? Dream on! Lao Tzu doesn't ** them! ”

Yixin snorted angrily and replied, "It's not because of you?" If you receive the first telegram, return to China immediately, and with you, will the monk be martyred? Do you also know that the monk king is as kind to you as a mountain? ”

Guo Ye's expression darkened, not to mention anything else, Monk Greenqin has absolutely no discount on his affection, even if it is his own son, he has never been so concerned, as long as Guo Ye is frustrated, the old man is desperate to support him, but unfortunately, he will never have the opportunity to see him again.

Yixin saw that Guo Ye was silent, sighed, and replied: "Okay, since you are back, then put your mind on the country, now the long-haired and twisted bandits are fierce, even if Guanting and Yan Chunyu are pressed, it is still difficult to turn the tide of the battle, it is only possible to maintain the current situation, and it is up to you next." ”

Guo Ye shook his head and replied: "Lord Wang, long hair and twisted bandits are not a problem, as long as I go out, it is just a matter of raising my hands to pacify them, and now the problem is not to exterminate the rebel party, but to cure the troubles of the henchmen!" ”

Troubles with henchmen?

Yixin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What kind of henchman?" ”

"Eight Banners, Banner Pay!"

Guo Ye replied firmly.

Eight Flags? Flags!

Yi Xin was shocked, what does Guo Ye mean by this?

"Guo Ye, what do you mean by that?"

Guo Ye replied lightly: "The first thing I did when I entered Beijing this time was to ask the imperial court to disband the Eight Banners and abolish the flag salary!" The current Eight Banners are simply national moths, costing the imperial court twenty or thirty million taels of silver every year, and nearly half of the annual income has to be consumed on this group of wastes. Do you want to continue to oppress the people? Now that the people are already overwhelmed, if they don't disband the Eight Banners and abolish the banners, even if I suppress the rebellion in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, what's the use? In the present state, even if we can maintain the current situation, how can we resist the aggression of the Western powers in the future? ”

Yixin's face changed greatly when he heard this, and it was not Guo Ye who was the first to propose the dissolution of the Eight Banners and the abolition of the flag salary, but it was the first person with such prestige and status as Guo Ye, Guo Ye's words, it was very important! The current Guo Ye is not a small general soldier, but the governor of Liangjiang, a first-class public, and a minister of military aircraft!

"Guo Ye, everything else is easy to say, but there is no room for turning around in this matter, the Eight Banners are the foundation of Manchuria, and the foundation of Manchuria's life, how can you say that you can withdraw?"

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, the Eight Banners are the foundation?" What else can Eight Flags do now? Fighting? They won't even fire muskets! Farming? They don't know what a plow looks like! Business? Their pig's head is not business material! Relying on such a foundation, I am afraid that this splendid river and mountain will not wait for the Jintian Uprising, and it will already be occupied by that group of bastards in England! If you want not to be bullied, the flag must be abolished! ”
