Of course, Li Hui has never been a rigid and inflexible person, and if there is someone close or close friend of the old literati who is the object of his courting, such as holding a heavy army, being in charge of an important industrial enterprise, or being an outstanding talent himself. Or if he has made great contributions to the country in history, and knows the current affairs, he is not unable to give special preferential treatment.

It didn't take long for Li Hui to discover that his idea of transforming the old literati could also be used to deal with a larger group of bannermen.

Because the banner people generally have a good cultural foundation, although the average level is not as good as the old literati, but compared with those illiterate, it is still much stronger; And they are even more incompetent than the old literati, but they are also social parasites for unearned work (on the whole, without mentioning individual cases). ）。

However, the banner people also have their particularities and cannot be completely copied, at least the four major principles determined by Li Hui before will not change, that is, "the nobles of the Eight Banners and the banner people who have had great evils must be liquidated, those who have no great evils themselves but have not worked hard for a long time must be reformed through labor, and the poor banner people who mainly rely on labor income to support their families only carry out ideological education and resist the resolute suppression of the new government by force." His new discoveries will only affect the way of labor reform, and the specific implementation is still very different from that of the old literati.

Li Hui wanted to transform the old literati in the hope of turning them into self-supporting laborers, and at the same time cultivating some usable talents by the way; The banner people were the ruling class of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and their ancestors were guilty of heinous crimes when they entered the customs, and later ruled China for more than 200 years, and they continued to suck blood on the people of the whole country (the ruling class is certainly not counting the people), and there was original sin in them, and their labor reform was not only of an educational nature, but also a punishment, so it was much more severe, and it was the worst arrangement for the old literati to become typesetters, but for the banner people, it could be said to be one of the best arrangements.

But even so, after Li Hui announced the various crimes of the Manchu government, unceremoniously ordered the public execution of thousands of Eight Banner nobles, including a large number of Manchu clans, and then suppressed the tens of thousands of bannermen who rebelled because of this rebellion, at least the remaining bannermen in the chassis controlled by the rebel armies in Beijing, Tianjin, and other countries lost the courage to resist, and obediently waited for their defeat one by one, so that the rebels' transformation of the bannermen was even more effective and fruitful than that of the old literati

After the Great Liquidation, there were only tens of thousands of people who could reach the average language level of high school graduates, and among these tens of thousands of people, there were more than 10,000 people who were relatively young and could learn new things.

This group of people, plus their ancestors in the national merit (such as Duolonga) and other reasons to get Li Hui ****, including relatives together with about 100,000 people, their treatment is much better than other banner people, young people work and study, while correcting all kinds of bad habits, while learning scientific knowledge, after learning will arrange technical work, especially good performance and promotion opportunities.

However, it must be noted that although there are no explicit regulations to impose restrictions, there are actually many hidden restrictions on the employment of these people, such as the cultural, educational, and propaganda departments and departments involving state secrets. In addition, Li Hui did not plan to build the capital of Beijing, so this two-pronged approach can basically cut off the opportunity for the old and young to overturn the case for the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future.

But compared with the remaining millions of banner people, their life has been very good, although those banner people who have been reduced to the lower class of the poor have been let go by Li Hui and have not been liquidated, but their original life is hard enough, and most of these people are engaged in individual labor, with the development of China's industrialization, many of these occupations will be eliminated.

As for those who need to be reformed through labor, the work will only be harder, and there is no salary to receive, and only if they perform well can they have a chance to be free. And if they are passive and sabotage, each labor reform engineering team has a dead person index, and it is not one or two

Since most of the flag-bearers are not culpable enough to make their relatives and friends sit together, their labor camp is only for men over the age of 15, but with the breadwinner of the family gone, how can orphans and widows survive? In desperation, the banner women could only remarry one after another, and those unmarried women did not care about the old ban of "no intermarriage between the flag and the Chinese", which greatly promoted national integration

Of course, there are many self-reliant and self-reliant women, because the flag people generally do not wrap their feet, and their physique is generally better because of their living habits, so the flag girls are even more popular with the emerging textile factories than the Han women, but the state-owned factories are difficult to enter, and the private small factories let them deeply understand what is called "all evil capitalism"

Only the children are treated equally, they can't choose their origins, but Li Hui will give them the opportunity to choose their life path.

The new government's liquidation of the bannermen helped to bring justice to the people of all ethnic groups who died in butcher's knives in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and who had been exploited for more than 200 years, but it also inevitably had some adverse effects, which many considered to be unfavorable

First of all, the Western diplomats who showed strong hostility after the rebel army entered the city, they condemned the liquidation and suppression of the banner people by the rebel army as barbaric and inhumane, but with the rapid growth of strength in his hands and the completion of several key intelligence statistics, Li Hui is no longer as worried about the Western powers uniting against the nascent China as he was at the beginning.

Within a few days of the occupation of Beijing, the rebel army seized an astonishing amount of wealth that made Li Hui jaw-dropping, and if the immovable property, art, and luxury goods that were not easily realized were calculated according to the prices before the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, the total amount reached billions of taels of silver, which was more than ten times the indemnity of the Treaty of Shimonoseki and several times the indemnity of Gengzi! The oppression and exploitation of the common people by the nobles and corrupt officials of the Eight Banners over the years can be seen from this

Of course, given the difficulty of realizing the majority of the real estate, art, and luxury goods, and the fact that they were depreciated during the war, the rebels were actually far less profitable. However, even if only gold and silver are counted, the harvest of more than 70 million taels of silver and more than 800,000 taels of gold is enough to make Li Hui happy, and it has brought him unprecedented strong confidence.
