Chapter 732: Revisiting the Eight Banners
Yixin's face darkened when he heard this, and he wiped it, this kid still remembers this stubble, yes, now half a year has passed, and there is no movement at all, even if it is to take it to the court to discuss it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Can Yixin not be bored with himself after all, take it to the court? That's not a lot of opposition, but a group attack, involving vital interests, no one will give in, even if you are the king of the council, those Eight Banners nobles will also drive you out of power!
Seeing that Prince Gong was suffocated, Wen Xiang hurriedly said: "Ming Shuai, you don't know, the abolition of the Eight Banners is a matter of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe, and it is possible to collapse the society, how can you not be cautious?" This kind of thing, no matter who is in the position of the prince, is very difficult, and you must also be considerate of the prince's difficulties......"
"Hmph, I have understood the difficulties of the prince,"
Guo Ye said angrily: "I don't understand the difficulties of the prince, Lao Tzu withdrew his troops back to Shandong halfway, who has the ability to encircle and suppress the Taiping Army, isn't it the root of the Eight Banners?" Pull them up, the Lu army, the Hunan army, and the Huai army together, there are only more than 100,000 people, but just one Eight Banners, the strength of the army is no less than 300,000, more than two-thirds of the strength of the Taiping army, is it not good to let them exterminate it? The soldiers who train the army don't take the court's money to go to the front to work hard, their eight banners are lying at home counting silver to play, where is there such a beautiful thing in the world? Lord Wang, this matter of removing the white flag must be promoted, otherwise, do you still want to clear the country for thousands of generations? With all due respect, within a few decades, it will be the day of the fall of the Qing Dynasty! ā
"Guo Ye! You, you presumptuous! ā
Yixin didn't expect Guo Ye to even say such a thing, he was shocked and angry, and shouted, "How can this be something that you, a courtier, can say?" How are you different from a traitor? ā
Guo Ye pursed his lips and replied: "Lord Wang, although Guo Ye's words are disrespectful, he is from the bottom of his heart, all dynasties, which dynasty can last for thousands of generations?" The Qing Dynasty's country is already a long life, and now the imperial court is riddled with serious illnesses, and serious diseases need to be treated with fierce medicine. More than ten years ago, a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom tossed us enough, and if we don't work hard, the second Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will not take a few years, and a second one will appear, don't say that I didn't remind you when the time comes......"
"You!"
Yixin's face was pale, he was really angry, today's Guo Ye's words are too sharp, but although he is sharp, but the sentences hit the point, so that he, the king of the government, has no way, as the most talented and capable prince of the late Qing Dynasty, he is clear about the shortcomings of the court, not that he doesn't want to reform the old and the new, but that if he wants to reform the old and the new, he is also powerless, the resistance and pressure are too great, so big that even if he is the king of the government, he can't bear it!
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, Lord Wang, Ming Shuai, you should say a few words first, the matter of the abolition of the Eight Banners is not something that cannot be considered, but it is too sensitive, too complicated, not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences!"
Wen Xiang hurriedly persuaded him, can't you let these two uncles pinch up, one is the king of the council, and the other is the minister of the pillar who is most relied on by the imperial court, and the two of them have a falling out, which is not good for Jiangshan Sheji!
Yi Xin was so angry that his muscles burst out, the blood vessels in his temples were pounding, and under Wen Xiang's persuasion, he finally calmed down a little, picked up the teacup next to him, took a sip, and slammed it on the ground, and said angrily: "Dog, the tea is cold, Guo Ye, are all the people in your house dead?" Hurry up and bring another pot of tea to Lao Tzu! ā
Guo Ye pursed his lips and muttered disdainfully, "You think this is your prince's mansion?" Lao Tzu is full of old men here, and he can't boil a single water, and he will die at once? ā
"What did you say?"
"No, nothing!"
Guo Ye can't get in the way of affection after all, what good is it to let Prince Gong's face be swept away? Anyway, among the important ministers of the court, Yixin is the most supportive of himself, and he has taken good care of himself for many years, Guo Ye hurriedly asked someone to bring tea again.
"Ming Shuai, the matter of the Eight Banners, it is really not good to make a mistake, you don't know, the prince once convened the banner owners in the palace to test, at that time, those banner owners turned their faces, this is equivalent to cutting off the life of the children of the Eight Banners, the children of the Eight Banners have no land, do not know how to farm, are not allowed to do business, the whole family, all live towards the banner salary, without the flag salary, they all have to starve to death? These are not one or two thousand, but hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people who are pointing to the banner and dying......"
Wen Xiang hurriedly continued to explain to Guo Ye.
"Brother Bochuan, if there is no land, we can buy land from the private sector and distribute it to the Eight Banners, which is not a big deal; If you don't know how to farm, we can send someone to be in charge of teaching; There is no capital, our court can give these flag people a one-time compensation at the same time as the flag is removed, the price can be negotiated, and the flag people are not allowed to do business, that is, why not allow people to do business? And now there are many banner people who are doing business in secret, and the imperial court just turns a blind eye, and even if the flag salary is maintained, is it better for the flag people at the top of the eight flags? Isn't it also difficult for one person to feed a family of more than a dozen people? One day, this volcano will erupt, and then it will be a mouse in the knife nest......"
"So, the Eight Banners must be withdrawn?"
Yixin asked slowly.
Guo Ye nodded and replied: "Yes, Lord Wang, the flag salary must be abolished, even if it is at a certain price, the effect will not be seen in three or two years, and after ten years, the effect will be different, reducing unnecessary expenditures for the country by nearly 20 million taels of silver every year, where is this silver not good?" Even if you prepare a fleet, it is enough to raise three fleets! When the country is rich and the army is strong, will we still be afraid of those foreign devils? ā
Yixin nodded slowly and replied: "Dog, you really make Lao Tzu angry, you can do this matter yourself, anyway, I won't help you, I must have my own position, otherwise, I will also be scolded for the blood, you have the ability yourself, then do it yourself, don't expect others!" ā
Guo Ye said proudly: "Okay, since the prince has spoken, then Guo Ye will return to the court tomorrow to abolish the Eight Banners banner, a manly man, dare to be a man, I will sit down in this matter, they are not convinced, so they came to talk to me Guo Ye!" Lao Tzu pinched all their eggs! ā
