Listening to Yinxi's words, Baotai and Mububa couldn't help but glance at each other, the old eight was full of nonsense, it seems that he didn't know anything about Xi'an beforehand, needless to say, Xi'an's affairs are Zhenwu Qiankun's dictatorship, I really don't know what the Eight Banners will be tossed into by Zhenwu in the end, if the flag land and flag property are allowed to be pawned, it will be sold out in a few years, and how to solve the livelihood of the flag people?

After the news came out of Xi'an, there were already many banner people who wanted to sell their houses and land and other banner properties, especially those who had children in the Tianjin Military Workshop, who had no worries about the future and made the most trouble, and Mu Buba, who was the owner of the Zhenghong Banner, was very sad about this.

Groaning slightly, Mu Buba said: "Eighth uncle, you also know, the imperial court has banned the pawning of flag property in recent years, but the flag people are still pawning for a long time through various means, pawning in disguise, Xi'an is so openly selling flag property, and all flags have flag people clamoring to pawn the flag property in their hands, explaining and channeling, how can it be as white as the silver?" ”

Prince Yu Baotai also said in a deep voice: "Starling, if all the flags and flags are tossed, we empty bucket princes will be even more difficult to speak, besides, if this continues, there may be another large-scale escape from the flag." ”

Yinxi nodded slightly, what Baotai said was extremely true, without the flag land and the banner property, in the case of difficult livelihoods, not only is it difficult to manage the flag people, but the large-scale flight of the flag is definitely not alarmist. After a little hesitation, he said: "Xi'an sells flag property for the purpose of building a large camp outside the city and building a military workshop.

Isn't this military workshop a flag property? Isn't Tianjin's purple bamboo forest a flag product? It's just a replacement, there is no need to make such a fuss, this matter is explained clearly to the flag people, and those who do not listen to dissuasion and take the opportunity to agitate will be exiled to the northeast. ”

Replacement? Hearing Yinxi's words, Baotai and Mububa couldn't help but be stunned, what else can they say? Yinxi actually didn't have a bottom in his heart, he faintly felt the model of Xi'an. Zhenwu will inevitably be vigorously promoted. But if the old fourteen arrives in Jiangning and immediately promotes this practice in Xi'an, then there will be no room for maneuver, and the chaos of the Jingshi Banner and the people will be in a mess.

After groaning slightly, Mu Buba spoke: "Eighth uncle." Now that the feudal countries of the Americas urgently need to expand their manpower, since Xi'an has formed a new army of 30,000 Praetorian Guards, can Ding Zhuang of the Eight Banners stationed in Xi'an be transferred back to Beijing, otherwise there will be no manpower to go to the Americas next year. ”

Yin Yu glanced at him, and then said with a smile: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." Although Xi'an is forming a new army of 30,000 Janissaries, in fact, the Beijing division transferred 10,000 to the past, and 10,000 from the children of the Eight Banners, Green Battalion and Eight Banners stationed in Xi'an, and the other 10,000 were recruited from abroad. ”

After a slight pause, he said: "All the banners are worried that after the garrison of the eight banners is untied, they will completely integrate into the place. Since then, it has been out of the control of the flags. Right? Old Thirteen once mentioned it to me. As he spoke, he tilted his face slightly and groaned for a moment. Only then did he continue: "When the emperor was in the navy, he once asked, if the European navy attacked the Eight Banners stationed in Guangzhou, would the people provide food and fresh water to supplement the European navy? If it was a war with the Qing Navy, what would happen to the people? ”

Baotai and Mububa have never thought about this kind of problem, nor have they experienced the war in troubled times, listening to this, they couldn't help frowning slightly, Yinxi didn't take their minds, took a sip of tea, and then explained to himself: "The people have nothing to do with the garrison of the Eight Banners in Guangzhou, maybe there are some unpleasant things in ordinary times, the European Navy beats our Eight Banners, and the people either watch the excitement while watching, or sell some food and vegetables at high prices to make a few small bucks, no one will blame them, and they themselves feel at ease."

But when the European navy is at war with the Qing navy, the situation will be very different, why? Because most of the navy are the children of coastal provinces, tens of thousands of people in the navy, coastal provinces and counties, and even various clans have children in the navy, and the people dare not and will not help the European navy, because they have to think about their own children, and no one wants their children to die in battle.

Do you now understand why the emperor wants to lift the shackles on the garrison of the Eight Banners, encourage the localization of the garrison of the Eight Banners, and encourage the marriage of the Manchu and Han Dynasty of the garrison of the Eight Banners? Why did you have to face the surrounding provinces of Shaanxi and recruit the new Praetorian Guard army without distinguishing between the banners? ”

Baotai and Mububa were both stunned when they heard it, if Zhenwu had this idea? Doesn't that mean that it is imperative to lift the shackles on the garrison of the Eight Banners, and all the cities will be dismantled and sold?

"If that's the case, wouldn't the Eight Banners cease to exist? Is that still our Qing Dynasty? Bao Tai groaned.

Yin Xi smiled slightly, and said: "This is my random speculation, the Northwest War is imminent, Xi'an is very likely to be just a special case, and the emperor may only be like this for the important towns in the frontier, now the emperor has no decree, we don't need to worry about the sky, cranky, in short, the Beijing division is different from Xi'an, the flag property of the Beijing division cannot be sold, everything will be decided when the emperor comes back." ”

"The emperor has already returned to Beijing?" Bao Tai hurriedly asked.

"The emperor may not return to Beijing in the short term." Yinxi said unabashedly: "I think that the flags can be folded to reflect the situation in the flags truthfully, and your worries can also be truthfully said, the emperor is still from the advice." ”

From the advice of the stream? Zhenwu can also be regarded as a follower? Isn't this talking nonsense with his eyes open, Mububa, who has seen the power of Zhenwu, can't help but secretly slander himself in his heart.

Zhenwu Yujia was beyond everyone's expectations, and did not go south to Jiangning, but returned to Beijing from Kaifeng.

At the same time, Jiangning's "Ning Bao" published an article "The death of the former Ming Dynasty and the death of the exiles." ' article. The article discusses in detail that since Zhengde, due to the high concentration of land, the large landlords concealed taxes, and the tax revenue of the Ming court gradually decreased, a large number of peasants who lost their land had to leave their hometowns and become displaced people in order to avoid the pursuit of taxes, forced labor, and land rent.

After the Ming Dynasty, the displaced people are almost all over the country, including Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Shaanxi, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan, Hubei, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places are the most serious, it is estimated that the total number of displaced people in the country at that time is about eight million people, accounting for more than one percent of the registered population, becoming a serious social problem, once encountering natural disasters, the displaced people riots swept the country, and finally buried the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately after this article, Ning Bao also published an article "The death of the former Ming Dynasty is really due to party struggle." The article lists in detail the disputes between the Donglin Party and the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties in the middle of the Wanli period of Mingshenzong, as well as the three major cases of Ting, Hongwan, and Moving the Palace, as well as the disputes between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party in the middle and late Tianqi period of Xizong and the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty.

Just when everyone thought that this was Zhenwu's instructing 'Ning Bao' to deliberately carry out public opinion guidance for the implementation of 'paving the land into acres' in the south of the Yangtze River, and the response was relatively cold, Ning Bao was out of control, and successively published several articles exploring the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and the styles were different, and the style was completely different, some explained that they died in the three major expeditions of Wanli, and some explained that they died in natural disasters, and they died in the dictatorship of eunuchs, and they died in the factory guards, and there was a bold point that the Ming Dynasty died in foreign invasions, and the spearhead was directed at the Manchurian Jurchens.

As soon as this article came out, the entire Jiangning was silent, and all the officials, gentlemen, and businessmen were quietly observing the reaction of the imperial court, although as early as after the "Nanshan Collection" case, the imperial court stated that there would be no literary prison after the "Nanshan Collection" of the Qing Dynasty, but it was so bold and public to criticize Manzhou, and it was written in the "Ning Bao", this is the first time, and everyone is naturally paying special attention.

After waiting for a few days, there was no movement in Jiangning, and there was no movement in Jingshi, but there was movement in the Beijing Daily at this time, and an article refuted this article, vigorously refuting it from the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty's foreign policy, infighting among the upper classes, homeless people, friends, taxes paid by the imperial court, and official corruption.

At the beginning of this period, the Beijing Daily published a series of articles to refute and argue, and it also demonstrated the strong printing and organizational ability of the Beijing Daily, which changed from a three-day issue to a daily magazine, overwhelmingly refuting the articles in the Nanjing Daily, and constantly putting forward new ideas, such as overseas trade, the prosperity of the handicraft industry in Jiangnan, and the shortage of food in Jiangnan.

Seeing that such an attack on Manchuria did not cause trouble, all the officials, gentlemen, and businessmen breathed a sigh of relief, and the Jiangnan scholars immediately perked up and immediately began to counterattack, and the first big debate between the two mouthpieces of Beijing News and Ning Bao began.

Beijing Daily, Ning Bao can be said to be the two easiest to become famous in this year, a good article is enough to make people famous, famous in Beijing or famous in the south of the Yangtze River, the first taste of the sweetness of a person in the south and a north of the literati, whether it is an official or a person or a talent, no matter near or far, they all racked their brains to write articles and actively submit, in order to become famous in one fell swoop.

Yang Fan, a talented man in Jiangning County who published 'Ming died in a foreign race' in the Ning Daily, is a model of becoming famous in one fell swoop, because this article he was known as Yang Bold by Jiangning and even the entire Jiangnan scholars, and having fame can naturally bring real money and silver income, no, Zhang Yuliang, a gentleman from Jiangning County, soon came to the door.

Xiucai is also famous, Yang Fan and Zhang Yuliang are also quite familiar, a little greeting, Zhang Yuliang expressed his intention, "The nephew is a guts, I don't know if I can write another article, and use the needle to enter the mu with the paving that is being implemented now?" ”

Yang Fan is actually the gunman of Ning Bao, the article "Ming died in a foreign race" was also deliberately instructed by someone to write it, and he became famous with an instant, he was also quite complacent, but his mind was not dizzy, listening to this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, but in fact, he was secretly happy in his heart, this is an opportunity to make a fortune, but also a way to make a fortune, and the risk can be ignored at all, because there is also the editor-in-chief of Ning Bao to review.

After groaning slightly, he said in embarrassment: "Shibo, the new policy being implemented by the Acupuncture Imperial Court is not as simple as committing a taboo. ”

Zhang Yuliang was also straightforward, and said directly: "Ten taels of silver, and another hundred taels when you see the newspaper." (To be continued.) )
