What did Zeng Guofan's big set of Yongzheng words say? Of course Doohne knew. Yongzheng said, although I am a foreigner, I am now your master here. Since I can treat you as children. Naturally, you should be as grateful to me as you are to your father. If you dare to defy me, or if you have criticism, then you are a bunch of bandits who disregard ethics, and what is the value of living?

Yongzheng also advised everyone to keep in mind the importance of the ethics of Gangchang, and he told the people in the occupied areas, don't ask me where I come from, my hometown is far away, and now that I am your king, you can only be lowly and inferior slaves. If you want to listen to the words of the saints well, you must have a strong sense of monarchy and courtiership, and you must regard me, a monarch, as a father, no, it should be something more important than a father. If you don't keep me as a king in your hearts at all times, you will be a bunch of unhumane and unconscionable beasts. How dare you disobey me, even God will not forgive you! So, don't underestimate us Yidi, we are all wise monarchs, that is, the same noble as the sages. And those fallen monarchs of your Chinese countries are just beasts and the like.

Du Han was different from Li Hongzhang, who also regarded himself as a Confucian but tied himself to the chariot of Cixi, and he felt that he should be a true and honest Confucian defender. It was precisely because of this that he looked down on the Yehenara clan who hid behind the curtain and actually controlled all the state affairs of the Qing Dynasty. In his view, the so-called "curtain and listening to politics" is not only immoral, but also contrary to the way of saints. Women, their duty should be to honestly teach their husbands and children at home, take care of Dali housework, and be optimistic about the stove is enough, there are old men at home, even if you can't eat with you, how can you participate in national politics? I don't know which bastards came up with such a "hanging curtain", hmph, I don't know who you are when you hide behind the curtain? Therefore, this time, as soon as Prince Gong Yixin launched a palace coup, he was scolded by Cixi at the beginning of the year for being useless, and it seemed that Du Han, who would only eat and wait for death, was one hundred and one jumping on his feet, raising his hands in approval, and even excited for several nights of sleep.

According to his intentions, he felt that the method adopted by Yixin and the others to confine the Yehenara clan was redundant, and in order to avoid future troubles, he should be secretly executed immediately. It's a pity that Yixin's side hasn't been persuaded yet, and the Russians don't do it first. As a result, under the protection of the Russians, Yehnara went to the Old Summer Palace safely. Du Han only had a dry stare.

As the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Secretary of the Ministry of War, Du Han is really on the same road as Yixin, Zaiyuan and others? Not really. Bringing down Cixi, this common goal brought them together temporarily, if it weren't for Yixin's cleverness, still carrying the banner of the Tongzhi Emperor who could only babble and shout in the Jinluan Palace, but really accepting Zaiyuan and Duanhua's Jianyi, and sitting on the throne of the emperor who might have belonged to him, then Du Han would definitely have to turn his face with Yixin. If you don't know the Three Principles and the Five Constants, how can you be called a Confucian? Don't say that Tongzhi is too young, that is, Tongzhi is a fool, since he is "ordered by heaven", he is his master. He was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and he was the emperor's Qing Dynasty.

Of course, the Russians he can't afford to mess with. In this regard, he, like Li Hongzhang, is also a fanatical advocate of the "curve salvation theory". Even he himself felt that his attainments in this area were not inferior to Li Hongzhang, who always liked to boast of being the first "curve to save the country" theorists and doers in the Qing Dynasty. To be honest, he didn't believe that Li Hongzhang had really read a few sage books in a down-to-earth manner, but he only knew a little bit about it.

Since they are "theoreticians", what they are best at doing is to reconstruct history indiscriminately, and in order to use it for their own use, they always like to swim in the long river of history, freely taking things out of context and confusing the public.

"I said Master Zeng, don't always hold those Chen ......" Du Han originally wanted to say the four words "Chen Bran Rotten Valley", but the first word came out, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. He straightened his neck, rolled his eyes a few times, and swallowed the last three words with the sweat that flowed down his cheeks into his mouth, "Since I unified the country in the Qing Dynasty, from the holy ancestors of all dynasties to the emperor today, which one is not familiar with Chinese culture, and which one is not respected by Confucius and the saint?" The Manchu family did not just say it, but did it in a real way. But what about you? It seems that only you are the real masters, the descendants of the pure Han people, but what have you done? Despised the sages, smashed Confucian temples, burned classics, and wantonly plundered private property on the grounds of universal harmony. What's more, you claim to be giving the people freedom and the right to be a man, but behind the scenes, you are wantonly slaughtering the Manchu people in Qingzhou City. As far as I know, you are still abusing and killing Russian prisoners of war in Anhui Province. No wonder you are not interested in releasing prisoners of war, I even doubt that how many of the Russian prisoners of war captured by you in Jiaodong can still survive? Speaking of this, Du Han glanced at Zeng Guofan with disdain.

"Hehe......" Zeng Guofan smiled, then shook his head again, "Mr. Du, you don't know much about our Celestial Empire today, I even doubt that if you are as strange as us, how can your so-called imperial court send you to negotiate." ”

Zeng Guofan put away his smile and glanced at the Manchu delegates opposite, "We don't respect Confucius, but we don't oppose Confucius and Mencius either. What Confucius and Mencius said is right, we are all inheriting, and if we are wrong, we will ignore everything. Not only ignore it, but also warn the people of the whole world to beware of falling into misunderstandings. However, we will not burn books, let alone destroy the culture on which our Chinese nation depends, as your holy grandfather did when he edited the "Siku Quanshu". Our Celestial Empire has always done what it says, and it will never be like your so-called Holy Grandfather, selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. Zun Kong Tui Sheng? You also think too highly of your masters, they are just forced to do so. If we Han people didn't have a huge ethnic group of tens of thousands, and didn't have a splendid cultural history that they will never have, we would still have the opportunity to sit here today? The Manchus wished to ruin our entire nation. God has eyes, history has made us, and he has not hesitated to send us two great leaders, our noble Royal Highnesses An and Ning. If this is not the case, if you are asked to enslave this land for another 50 years, will our Chinese culture still exist? Our Celestial Empire has never advocated Han nationalism, and the officials of the Celestial Empire and the Red Army of the Celestial Empire are full of brothers of various nationalities who hold important powers, and the Celestial Empire does not discriminate equally. But today, as a Han Chinese, I am ashamed to have such a kind of person like you. ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze from Du Han to Seng Lingqin, "As I just said, if it weren't for the various advantages that our Han people have, our nation would be like today's Mongolian brothers, gradually going to extinction, or even worse than them. ”

After entering the customs, no one dared to say that the representatives of the two sides were unaware of the ethnic hierarchy implemented by the Qing Dynasty. They have defined many important posts in the central and local governments as so-called "full vacancies" that can only be filled by full talents, and have specially set up a kind of imperial examination to promote the attainment of full people.

Not only that, in order to prevent the revival of the Han Chinese, the Qing Dynasty had long implemented a strict policy of ethnic segregation. They established a policy of Manchurian banning, not allowing the Han Chinese to move to their dynasty's so-called "land of Longxing". Although the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty was not originally set up specifically to contain and defend against the Han people, after entering the customs, it became the most important force for the Qing Dynasty to rule China and contain the Han people. Because of this, the Eight Banners system has not only not been weakened, but has been continuously strengthened after many targeted transformations.

Of course, there are also the so-called Eight Banners of the Han Army in the Eight Banners, but don't forget that the Eight Banners are not only a political and military organization, but also an organization of production and life, and the Eight Banners organization has formed its own unique social culture, which is naturally similar to the ethnic isolation policy including the prohibition of intermarriage between flag people and non-flag people. Therefore, the Eight Banners system has essentially taken on the nature of a national group, resulting in many banner people only knowing whether their place of origin is in the banner or not, but they do not know whether their nationality is Manchu or Han.

As early as the Kang, Yong, and Qian, the policy of ethnic isolation against the Han nationality was particularly obvious and prominent on the issues of Mongolia, Tibet, and Xinjiang.

Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet entered the territory of the Qing Dynasty one after another, as can be seen from the name "Xinjiang" alone, and the Qing Dynasty believed that this was the new territory brought by it. Therefore, in dealing with these three regions, the Qing Dynasty regarded them as Manchu territory, not Chinese territory in the true sense, so it strictly forbade the Han people to move to them, and regarded the original local people as subjects of their Manchu rulers, and forbade them to come into contact with the Han people, and even explicitly stipulated that the local aborigines were not allowed to learn the Chinese language, and strictly prohibited the spread of Chinese civilization in these areas.

In these areas, the Qing dynasty adopted a very different policy from the areas that ruled the Han Chinese, and they largely retained the traditional social system there, giving considerable autonomy to the local aborigines. The Qing Dynasty also deliberately created the impression that the Manchus were in alliance with the Mongols, Tibetans, and Uyghurs relative to the Han Chinese. Two simple examples illustrate this assertion. In the Qing Dynasty, only Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan, and Uyghur scripts were inscribed on the customs issued to local officials, and absolutely no Chinese were inscribed. And the route taken by the magnates of the above three places when they met the Manchu emperor also had to be carefully considered by the emperor, avoiding the Central Plains as much as possible, and even all the Han areas. The main place where the Manchu emperors received the heads of Mongolia, Tibet, and Uyghurs was not the Forbidden City, but Chengde, which was located outside the Great Wall and within Mongolia. The purpose of this "meeting" is to confirm the political relationship between the two sides, and there seems to be no difference between the "meeting alliance" and the "alliance" on a larger scale.

In terms of the legal system of the Qing Dynasty, it also established its own legal system for these three special regions, which are different from "China". In addition to the six central ministries, they set up a separate so-called "Rifan Yuan" to deal with matters related to the three regions. They designated the highest official in Tibet, the "Minister in Tibet," and the highest official in Xinjiang, "General Ili," and other important posts as "full vacancies," and all the posts in the Imperial Court as "full vacancies" or "vacancies." Obviously, the main purpose of these policies enacted by the Manchu dynasty was definitely not to care for the local aborigines, but to the need to ultimately rule the whole of China as a people with a population of just over a million and an army of 300,000. Because the Chinese Dynasty was repeatedly invaded by the northern nomadic groups in history, this political alliance established by the Qing Dynasty invisibly put tremendous pressure on the Han people psychologically. The Qing Dynasty set up various complicated policies and systems to contain the Han people, which is the result of its rule in China for more than 200 years, and it is also an important reason why it has been able to rule China for more than 200 years. This rule of the Manchus was an out-and-out act of colonialism.
