After such a long war, all the things ordered in Germany have finally arrived―――――― and if it is not Qi, Yan Guang will also be on fire, after all, it is almost the end of April, and it will be August in a while, and it is estimated that the goods of the Germans will not be able to come by August――――――

"As soon as the Germans' goods arrive, they will be able to move on to the next step."

The European war will break out, and it won't take long for this matter to break out, which has always been a secret in Yan Guang's heart. After all, it was impossible for Yan Guang to tell his subordinates that on June 28, 1914, a man named Gavrivo. Princip's Serbian youth, would use a Browning M1900 pistol in a place called Franz? Ferdinand's 2b Austro-Khakes shot two holes, right?

By the way, Ito Hirobumi of the book and Lenin of Russia were both assassinated with M1900 when they were assassinated...

And the only difference is that Ito Hirobumi died at that time, but Lenin lived until 1924...

"There are less than 4 months left, and time really waits for no one..."

Thinking so, Yan Guang looked at the map on the side...

"4 months, it should be enough to take Jiaozhou Bay..."However, thinking of the threat of Tie Liang and Liang Bi just now, Yan Guang sighed again. However, they just said that the flag people are likely to make trouble, and they have to be cautious. ”

Thinking so, Yan Guang looked at Yue Chang on the side.

"When you go to the telecommunications office, you also send a telegram to Liu Huixue by the way, asking him to get a few trains of "those things" over. ”

"Yes."

――――――――――

After Tie Liang and Liang Bi walked out of the presidential palace, they also told everyone what happened in the presidential palace.

When everyone learned that Yan Guang was determined to cut off the treatment of the banner people, they were almost shocked.

You must know that the flag people are not producing has been an old tradition for hundreds of years, and now, even though the situation has changed a lot, this "fine tradition" is still well preserved among the flag people. Therefore, almost all the banner people in Yanjing and other places are living on the little money sent down by the Qing Dynasty, which is the so-called iron rice bowl.

The banner people were the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and when the Qing Dynasty still existed, even in difficult times, as long as there was surplus grain in their hands, the Qing family also had to pay the banner people. By the time of Yuan Shikai, because of the preferential treatment regulations of the Qing family, the salaries of the bannermen never stopped.

This naturally allows the flag-bearers to continue their leisurely life of "running around the streets with birdcages", but now the newly appointed President Yan Da wants to cut off the iron jobs of millions of flag-bearers? You must know that it has been an old tradition for hundreds of years that the flag people are not producing, and when he says this, isn't he going to starve all these millions of flag people to death?

Thinking of this, many of the bannermen surrounding Tie Liang became angry.

To be able to invite Tie Liang and Liang Bi out of the British Concession in Tianjin, the first condition is to have status. Of course, now that the Manchus have perished, we can also replace the word status with generation.

Usually people with status and seniority, rarely the kind without family assets, although they are banner people, but in this point is the same. It's just that the flag people are an unusual group, among the flag people, if you want to climb relatives, even if it is an ordinary flag man who has no food, maybe you can climb to the head of a prince.

Therefore, they came this time, in addition to the content of the original preferential treatment regulations, for those ordinary flag people. After all, these guys who are related to themselves have already begged to come to the door, and they can't help but come forward.

Of course, if they still have some status among the banner people, then these statuses are nothing in the eyes of people like Yan Guang or Yuan Shikai. That's why they invited Tie Liang and Liang Bi out of Tianjin, after all, these two are famous even among the Han people, and when Yuan Shikai was there, he didn't dare to be rude to these two people.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that now that Tie Liang and Liang Bi were invited out, they were both useless...

"If that's the case, then aren't the juniors below having no way to live?"

In the midst of the rage, a shriveled little old man with a cheongsam and a goatee muttered there.

Everyone present knows what the flag men below are not fighting for, of course, in fact, they themselves are no different from those flag men. But anyway, they still have a rich family business, with these family businesses, it doesn't matter if they don't fight anymore, even if they sit and eat empty, they can eat for a few generations, but what about those people below?

If you don't do production, I'm afraid you're going to starve to death―――――― in fact, starving to death is also a good thing, the most worrying thing is that when they are hungry, they come to the door to ask for money, when the time comes, do you say to give or not to give?

Looking at the faces of these Manchu nobles around them, Tie Liang and Liang Bi also sighed.

Now that the forbidden army has been disbanded, the first division of Beiyang, which is mostly composed of banner people, is still in Wuchang, and there are still three divisions of the National Defense Force in Yanjing City, as well as the third division of Beiyang, even if they want to do something, they can't do anything.

However, just when a group of people were standing at the gate of the presidential palace, lamenting and sighing under the cold gaze of dozens of guards at the gate, a Manchu Qing nobleman suddenly looked up and said.

"Baochen, the one surnamed Yan really said that even if the banner people rioted, he would not be afraid?"

"I did say that...."Saying that, Tie Liang also reacted, peeking at the guards in the distance, and found that the distance between them was enough that they couldn't hear the conversation here before he said softly. Could it be that you want to ......... At that time, I also threatened him with words, but this man was not afraid at all, and said that if the persuasion failed, he would send troops to suppress him, in my opinion, I am afraid that what this person said is true..."

Tie Hao has also been an official for many years, and he was also the mainstay of the Manchu Qing Dynasty back then, and he has a reputation for "knowing soldiers", although it is unknown how much water there is, but it is also a rare useful person in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, of course, it can be seen that Yan Guang was absolutely serious when he said this, so after hearing that Zonggui said this, he hurriedly advised.

However, after listening to Tie Liang's words, that Zonggui only laughed coldly.

"I just want him to do that..."

Tie Liang and Liangbi's hearts were cold, and the other Manchu nobles were also stunned.

However, that Zonggui only looked around, and only continued when he found that no one was beside him.

"Now the flag people in Yanjing City, although not much, but there are two or three hundred thousand, the vast majority of these two or three hundred thousand miles are not production, lazy people, when the first emperor (Guangxu) was in, he had left a good field in Hulan to prepare for the relocation of the flag people in the capital, and then transferred to the thirteen households of the flag people in the capital, they had the shape of the capital when they were in the capital, there were post stations on the road for support, there were well stoves in the tundi, there were cattle seeds in the ground, more than half a year of preparation, more than thousands of fees, but the time was less than a century, These selected banner men have already fled with their families, and there is no trace of them at all, leaving only three families still in place, but they are also crying and begging to return to Beijing..."

Speaking of this, the Zonggui also sighed.

And after listening to his words, Tie Liang and Liang Bi and others were also embarrassed, because it was the time when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was troubled by these banner people, and the banner people in Beijing at that time, except for a few powerful people, the rest were almost all beggars who were about to fall. Many banner people, and even their families, rely on salaries. There is no way, in order to allow these banner people to support themselves, Guangxu can only find a way to survive for them.

It's just that these banner people are too angry, and the thirteen carefully selected households, after letting them go to the best fields to farm, and preparing enough for them to have some needs, actually insisted on running away in less than a century, and the only remaining three households were crying and shouting to go back to the capital.

Since then, Guangxu has naturally had no choice. And after this incident spread, it was also a place where people were ridiculed by others.

Of course, the Zonggui who opened his mouth at this time would say this, definitely not to laugh at his ancestors.

So after saying these words, this Zonggui continued.

"Although it's annoying, I believe everyone knows what the flag people below have become like rotten. Now that this surnamed Yan is going to cut off everyone's livelihood, it's better to go down there and encourage them to stand up..."

"But." Tie Liang frowned. "What if the guy surnamed Yan really ordered a crackdown......... That's too many dead, right? ”

"At this time, there is no way to kill people, not to mention that at least the dead people will naturally be able to cause some pressure on this surnamed Yan." Saying this, Zonggui glanced at Tie Liang. "Baochen, don't you have a good relationship with Minister Yuben? At that time, as long as you contact your own side, and then contact other countries, it will definitely be impossible for the great powers not to stand up and say something except for such a big thing, and when the time comes, under the pressure of the great powers, I don't believe that this surnamed Yan will not give in. When the time comes, it will not only be the salary of the banner people, but also the conditions of the emperor..."In the eyes of these old people who have experienced Gengzi, those foreign powers are like heavenly people, not only them, but even the former Yuan Shikai.

So in his opinion, if some people die, it will be worth it in exchange for the intervention of the great powers―――――― don't those foreign devils like to pretend to be angels? Let them really be angels. As for the hairy boy surnamed Yan, as long as the powers stand up and express their stance at that time, I am not afraid that he will not give in.

It's just that although this Zonggui said so, the faces of the others were still very hesitant, after all, this matter...

After all, if something really happens, I'm afraid that if you don't sacrifice dozens or hundreds of people...

These are all flag men...

As for Liangbi, Tie Qing had a blue face, pointing at that Zonggui and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

At that time, Tie Liang's face changed, and after arching his hand to everyone, he walked in the direction of the legation.

――――――――――

Yan Guang, who was still in the presidential palace, of course, did not know what was happening outside, because at this time he was busy with the affairs of the Germans.

As for learning about the salary cut, will the flag people below stand up and make trouble?

In Yan Guang's view, this is a sure thing.

Although Yanjing ―――――― later generations Yan Guang came to Yanjing several times, but in Yanjing City in later generations, you can't tell the Han people and the Manchurians at all, if you look closely, they are all Chinese.

However, in this world, although Yan Guang has not yet been to Yanjing, he knows too much about what a flag man is like.

Of course, this understanding is not a book understanding, nor is it hearsay understanding, but a genuine understanding.

Why do you ask that? That's because in Sichuan, there are also full cities...

And this Mancheng is not in other places, just in the city of Chengdu, of course, the so-called Mancheng is naturally a city alone, and does not mix with Han people or other ethnic groups. However, after the Xinhai Revolution, this rule has been clearly broken...

Of course, Yan Guang did not go as far as other places, such as Hangzhou, which broke into the city and burned down the houses of the bannermen, confiscated the property of the bannermen, and imprisoned and executed men over the age of 18. Later, it was stopped by the newly built Zhejiang Provincial Governor's Office.

There is also Jingzhou, Hubei Jingzhou was besieged by the new army for half a month, after the city was broken by Jingzhou deputy capital Yuxiang committed suicide, most of the Manchus in Jingzhou City fled, and the old and weak women and children who could not escape were pulled to the city by the new army and were collectively shot dead by T-shaped street (today's bonsai garden, blue sky supermarket).

Another example is the worst Xi'an, when the city of Xi'an was broken by the new army in the early morning, and the arsenal at the north gate of Xi'an was occupied and burned by the new army. The new army took out explosives and blew open the outer gates of the city to break into the Governor's Office, and the Xi'an general Wen Rui committed suicide. Subsequently, the new army broke into the residential area of the banner family in Dongcheng, and killed and looted property. Of the 20,000 bannermen in Xi'an, only 300 of them who fled to foreign churches survived. After the destruction of Manchu, the new army broke into the Han people's settlement area to loot and extort money due to lack of military salaries, and this behavior continued for several days before it was stopped.

These are all disgraceful histories of the Xinhai Revolution, but they were covered up by later generations in order to publicize his legitimate surname, and naturally it is impossible to make them public.

At that time, these things happened outside Sichuan, and Yan Guang couldn't control it, and he couldn't control it.

But what happened in Sichuan Yan Guang had to take care of it, because in later generations, Yan Guang accepted the concept of the Chinese nation, and he has always agreed with this concept.

Manchu? is too rotten, of course Yan Guang's hatred for him is to grit his teeth, but do you want to say that Yan Guang will also extend this hatred to the Manchurians? That's impossible―――――― by the way, in later generations, Yan Guang also had some Manchu friends, living in the countryside, honest, and all of them were good people.

Because of this, when he first arrived in Sichuan, Yan Guangzhi still had a good impression of these Manchurians.

It's just that after seeing the Manchurians of this era......... Dumbfounded.

Obviously, the family is poor and has nothing, but he is still dressed brightly and carries a birdcage to play around.

Of course, the banner people living in other provinces must not be compared with the flag people in Yanjing City, but to be honest, even if this is the case, it is an unbearable thing in Yan Guang's opinion.

Therefore, after the Xinhai Revolution, when they broke through the city of Chengdu, their property was so strict that it was not touched at all, but their bannermen's salaries were all interrupted, just like now.

At that time, the reaction of these banner people was very intense, after all, although the banner people in other provinces were stronger than the flag people in the capital, but they were also limited, and many flag people families were counting on such a little salary to live, and Yan Guang cut off their salary, which was equivalent to cutting off their way of life.

Yan Guang didn't think about killing them all, after all, there were twenty or thirty thousand bannermen living in Chengdu, and many of them were women and children.

Fortunately, Yan Guang opened a lot of factories in Sichuan at that time, and some jobs did need some manpower to do, so Yan Guang recruited them to the factory―――――― anyway, what Yan Guang needed at that time was only the prime of labor, and such a banner man was only three or five thousand in the city, so much labor was just a drop in the bucket for Yan Guang's needs.

It's just that the reaction of those flag men made him stunned again...

"If you don't go, you won't kill us!!"

After Yan Guang's kind words, maybe Yan Guang's spleen surname was too gentle, and these flag men actually kicked their noses in the face.

In the end, Yan Guang also understood that these banner people just wanted to find an iron rice bowl, and it was the same as the original one, the kind that only received money and did not work. As for what work? How tiring that is! It's better to continue to carry the birdcage around.

At this point, although Yan Guang is also a rare good-tempered person in this era, he is also angry with these flag people.

"Okay, didn't you say you wouldn't kill you? Let's kill you..."

After eliminating more than 100 bannermen who were willing to go to the factory, the remaining bannermen were all hung by Yan Guang in front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, whipped ten times a day, and denied them food, unless they promised to work, Yan Guang would never let them go.

On the way, there were some addicts to smoking, and Yan Guang threw them directly to the drug rehabilitation center, so as not to harm their families.

In the end, in less than a month, all these flag men went to the factory.

Of course, there are also some because they were forced by Yan Guang, so they had to go, and when they arrived at the factory, these people directly escaped over the wall.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as you don't run out of Sichuan, and after being caught this time, Yan Guang didn't beat them or scold, just locked them up in a small black room.

There is not a glimmer of light, and it is absolutely closed and absolutely impossible to transmit outside sounds, and there is only ten days' worth of water and food in the small dark room...

There, everyone has a little dark room of their own.

After these people are caught, they are locked up in a small black room, and there is no need for any punishment, and in two or three days, all the people inside will not be able to stand it. Some people with strong nerves can only be said to have five days.

And when these people came out, they all became nervous, so much so that they frightened those who had not entered, and thought that they had suffered some kind of punishment in them.

ps: In the Sichuan Army at that time and the later Guoshe Army, corporal punishment was naturally also used, but the most common one was the small black house. No matter how iron-blooded and brave the warriors are, after making mistakes, they are locked in, and they dare not enter the second time after they have entered the first time, and everyone is afraid of the little black house like a tiger, and many people would rather be stabbed twice than go to the small black house.

And the existence of the small black house itself is also the most important treasure to maintain the good military discipline of the National Social Army in addition to the generous military salary.

――――――――――

was cleaned up by Yan Guang like this, and those banner people naturally had a lot of resentment, and many people even wanted to eat Yan Guang's meat raw. Especially for those who have been to the little dark room once...

However, at this time, the news of what happened in Xi'an and other places finally came.

Yan Guang also sighed when he saw the above report, he naturally would not do the massacre of the Manchus, but he was not qualified to stop others from doing this, after all, the grievances between the Manchus and the Han Dynasty have been lingering for hundreds of years, and it is definitely not something that he, a descendant from later generations, can instruct.

However, later, Yan Guang sent what happened in the newspaper to the Manchurian camp...

Manchu camp, Manchu labor camp, of course, this kind of camp is different from the concentration camp, the Manchu people are paid to work here, and like the Han people, when these guys are transformed, at least the transformed ones are as industrious as other Han people, Yan Guang will send them to other factories to work with the Han people...

In the Manchurian camps, many of them have been more or less transformed, and have embraced the way of working, getting paid.

But more, it's still the flag man who hates Yan Guang...

It's just that when Yan Guang sent what happened in Xi'an and other places to the camp, no one dared to curse Yan Guang.

There are no other reasons, one is that they are grateful that Yan Guang did not do it like other revolutionary armies, and the other is that they are afraid that after being provoked, Yan Guang will also purge the banner people in Sichuan like other revolutionary armies...

Living in Sichuan for so many years, many banner people can be said to be accustomed to being powerful and blessed, of course, there is always an object to be blessed, and the Han people are the best object. Therefore, these banner people are usually in Chengdu, and it can be said that they have offended a lot of Han people.

When Yan Guang hung them in front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion and whipped them, many people were watching and applauding.

When Yan Guang recruited them to work, many people were deeply disappointed, and many people even hoped that Yan Guang could carry out a purge of these banner men like the new army in other places.

Of course, disappointment is disappointment, after a lot of taxes have been exempted, especially after the exemption of agricultural taxes, the people of Sichuan are still very grateful to Yan Guang, so even if they complain, ordinary people don't think much about it in their hearts.

However, after many years of prestige and fortune, he has offended so many people, and after seeing the fate of the flag people in other regions, those flag men in the full camp dare not complain so much. By now, that is, in 1914, although many banner people are still bad habits, most of them are no different from ordinary Han people...

Therefore, Yan Guang is still very sure about dealing with Yanjing's banner people.

As for the way? Without him, it's just a slap and a sweet date...

――――――――――

The suggestion of scraping the wealth of the Manchurians, the Manchurians have money, by this time, most of them have moved to the concession, and there are very few who remain in Yanjing and other places, even if they are scraped, it is impossible to scrape too much, and doing so will cause a lot of trouble.

As for funding? Even if you have money and equipment, you also need enough technical personnel, and these are what China lacks the most

(To be continued)
