Chapter 156 - Little Peacemaker
As soon as Xiao Xuanye said the sentence "The life and death of China is the responsibility of the husband", Li Jiqi below really stood stunned on the spot - isn't this the "responsibility of the rise and fall of the world" that he has long been familiar with? !
It turned out that during the two to nine years of Li Jiqi's tenure in Shunzhi, Zhejiang, he had some "intersections" with Gu Yanwu that he had never met-
After the Qing soldiers entered the customs, Gu Yanwu temporarily lived in Zhejiang, and was recommended by Yang Yongyan, the commander of Kunshan County, to join the Southern Ming Dynasty and serve as the secretary of the military department. In May of the second year of Shunzhi (1645), Gu Yanwu took Zhenjiang to Nanjing to take office, but before he arrived, Nanjing was captured by the Qing army, Emperor Hongguang was captured, the Southern Ming army collapsed, and the Qing army's iron cavalry pointed to Suzhou and Hangzhou. At that time, anti-Qing rebels rose up in various parts of the Yangtze River. Gu Yanwu threw his pen from Rong and participated in a righteous army led by Wang Yongqi, the imperial history of the capital. It's a pity that in addition to being broken, it is really invincible to the elite of the Eight Banners, and the righteous army attacked Suzhou City and was ambushed and collapsed, and Songjiang and Jiading also fell one after another. Gu Yanwu sneaked back to Kunshan, and defended the city with Yang Yongyan and others to resist the enemy; Within a few days, Kunshan was lost, with as many as 40,000 victims, Yanwu's biological mother He's right arm was cut off by Qing soldiers, and his two younger brothers were killed. Nine days later, Changshu fell, Yanwu's mother, Wang, heard the change, went on a hunger strike and martyred the country, and told Yanwu on her deathbed, saying: "Although I am a woman, I have received the grace of the country, and I have died with the country, and I am righteous." If you are not a foreign courtier, you have not failed the grace of the world, and you have not forgotten the teachings of your ancestors, then you can look underground. ”
After burying his mother Wang, Gu Yanwu abandoned his home and traveled far away, "east to the sea, north to Wangjiaying (now Huaiyin, Jiangsu), servants and servants come and go." Running between the various anti-Qing Liliang, he was awarded an official position by Emperor Longwu, led the rebel army, and failed repeatedly. It was during this period of time that Gu Yanwu traveled to Hangzhou to preach his "anti-Qing righteousness", and Li Jiqi, who was the "promotion of academic politics" in Zhejiang, although he had never met, he was also able to come into contact with many of Gu Yanwu's thoughts, among them, there is this sentence "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband"!
Obsessively looked at the little Belle who was less than two years old above the royal steps. Li Jiqi couldn't help but secretly think-"Does he know Gu Yanwu?" No way. He is still a little baby, and now that his wisdom is an outlier, how can he get acquainted with Gu Yanwu, who is thousands of miles away and in prison?! Hearsay? Nor should it be! How could Gu's remarks easily reach the imperial court? Xuan Ye, who lives deep in the palace, naturally won't know! This can't and can't, isn't it...... Could it be that this little Xuanye is really an auspicious miracle from the sky? ”
Li Jiqi was puzzled. Everyone also looked sideways. Li Shangshu, who was once again "abnormal", shook his head and said nothing.
"Li Shangshu" couldn't understand how Xuan Ye could say Gu Yanwu's "famous words". had to give up for the time being, but his thoughts returned to Xuan Ye's very abrupt words themselves, and his heart instantly turned over - what is a "little bad pool"? Do you mean the ten days of Yangzhou and the three massacres of Jiading? Or is it "easy to shave"? But no matter what. How can this be considered a "bad pool"? How can the lives of hundreds of thousands of Han people be counted as "some"? When I took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I was confused for a while, and today I think about it, and I regret it too late! The ancestors of the Han people, how can they allow me to be under the Nine Springs...... But after thinking about it, Xuan Ye is a prince, and it is commendable to be able to say such things. At least, this Belle Lord seems to be more pro-Han than his emperor Lao Tzu...... After calming down, Li Jiqi reluctantly spoke:
"Be taught!" At this point, there is no other word.
Hongyi was very disappointed, it seems that Li Jiqi can't get out of that haze. So, a long-standing complaint instantly came to his heart-
In fact, as a Han people crossing into the Manchus, weishenme, you can't give me a little more time, give me a little more chance, I must work hard to correct the historical trend after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and return all ethnic groups in China a future of harmony! The sins committed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty are not insignificant! It's really unforgettable! However, it is now the middle of the seventeenth century, and the process of Shijie civilization has begun to enter the leading area of rapid change, if the Chinese people, regardless of the Manchu, Han, Mongolian, Tibetan, Uyghur, and Hui people who only have in later generations, you are still in the nest of internal friction, and the opportunity for Chinese civilization to "continue" to lead Shijie will be permanently missed! You don't know how hard and long it will be until the 21st century when China wants to return to the top of Shijie...... Otherwise, I will cross into a baby, and weishenme will have to risk being denounced as a demon to do my best here?! Am I easy? Don't you really understand me?

"Fu Xian, Xuan Ye's words, you have to taste it carefully!" What Hongyi didn't expect was that Fu Lin behind him took over the topic at this time and gave a serious advice. In other words, the passage I just did rashly was actually recognized by Fulin?! Hongyi couldn't care about Li Jiqi under the imperial stairs, so he hurriedly turned around and took a deep look.
"What the second elder brother just said, what do you Manchen think?" Fu Lin ignored his youngest son's slightly excited performance, and turned to ask "his own people" who had just caused infighting, and suddenly became very "majestic" and took on the shelf of "master".
"The minions have no objections." The master has said that it is natural to be a slave, and it can only be good! It's not good, it's good! This is the full embodiment of "being talented for slaves". Besides, what the little prince said is right!
"Okay, Zhekune, just record it according to what Xuan Ye said." Fulin made a final decision.
"Huh!" Zhekune knelt down loudly to receive the decree, and by the way, he also bowed a little to the little Xuan Ye on the steps, which was covered.
"Huang Ama, the retainers still have a please." Hongyi knew what Orikune meant, and whispered in his heart: Don't worry, I, a little peacemaker, still have a gift for you, the pioneer of "ethnic equality"! Even if it is a political investment in your bright future, a primitive shareholding!
"Say it." Fulin solved a head-scratching problem, and his emotions rose rapidly.
"Since the integrated 'appointment' of the Manchu and Han dynasties is feasible, then the policy of the integrated 'reuse' of firearms and talents mentioned by Zhekune is feasible for the ministers."
"This appointment and reuse, the deep meaning is naturally different, but you can tell me how it is feasible?" Fu Lin said that the group of Manchu ministers who have become extremely "sensitive" and "sensitive" attach importance to the "difference between the words".
"The Eight Banners Bow Horse is skillful and cannot be wasted. But firearms are not used today. It's inconvenient to use on a horse, but it's not as refreshing as a bow and arrow! Therefore, it is generally better for the Eight Banners to be skilled in archery and horses, and to have both firearms. In this case, if they mainly practice firearms with the Han army and the green battalion, their bow and horse skills are worse than our Manchuria, not one or two! Hongyi has a long-term strategy in mind, and first comes to praise and disparage, leaving foreshadowing.
"Hmm." The emperor also nodded, and some of the Manchurian ministers grinned, and the corners of their mouths were naturally crooked towards a group of Hanchens.
"In the long run, the Manmeng Eight Banners can still bend their bows and horses, and their combat power will not be reduced; The green battalion of the Han army can also use firearms to play its advantage in foot combat and defending the city. The two overlap each other. My Qing Dynasty is powerful enough to be invincible in the world. Hongyi observed Wu Bai and other Manchurian old people attentively, and found that they seemed to have something to say, so he hurriedly continued to talk to stop these people's mouths.
"It's arranged like this. It is not to give up firearms. Instead, let the Han army do the work of firearms trials. After the battle of Humar. There have been new improvements in the use of our firearms, but it will take time if we are invincible. Lord Ming Andari. You say yes, right? ”
"Exactly! It's not just the battle of Humar, it's the Mulan martial arts exercise not long ago, and the method of firearm foot combat of Lord Belle, whether it is hiding soldiers in a trench or a spearman lying in a pit, is like divine help! Didn't even the Ma army of Baturu, the first Baturu of the Qing Dynasty, suffer a big loss? What do you say, Kadahun? When Ming Andali heard that Xuan Ye was praising the battle of Humar led by himself, he hurriedly "repaid him", pointed out the martial arts performance of Mulan, which was highly recognized by the emperor, and pulled the military secretary Kadahun to strengthen his momentum. And Ao Bai didn't come today, so he just used it as a backing!
"What Mingtang said is very true! Baylor's high argument is even more true! In the past few days, the minion's military department has been working hard to imitate the arquebus used by the Rakshasa army, and with the assistance of Lord Tang and the firearms battalion, it has been improved and perfected, but the effectiveness still needs to be investigated! Kadahun was able to comprehend Xuan Ye's intentions better than Ming Andali, and pointed out the key point that the new firearms still needed to be run in and perfected.
Hongyi was overjoyed in his heart, and looked at this Meng Yiman with satisfaction and two people who knew how to soldier. Indeed, it is only "satisfied", not "moved". At this time, Hongyi is most "moved", I am afraid that if he is far away in the north, the next step will be to use Shaer Huda and Bahai two father and son Zhang Jing! It was the original 17th-century version of the foxhole and trenches! Of course, Hongyi is more satisfied with the Ming'an Dali and Kadahun, who he personally selected and co-opted, and now has a deep understanding of the benefits of firearms.
"Okay, what Xuan Ye said can be tried out." Fu Lin recalled what he had seen in the Mulan paddock in those two days, and couldn't help but have an inexplicable trust in his son, and he didn't need to ask for the opinions of others, so he made a conclusion directly.
"Xie Huang Ama! If we talk about the current Qing firearms, we really have to make good use of the advantages of firearms from the Ming Dynasty and the West, not only in the red-coated cannons and muskets, but also in the sharpness of the medicines, guns, and cannons. These were also comprehended by Erchen after Mulan's martial arts. In that case, why not combine the expertise of each industry at the same time? The firearms battalion and the firearms manufacturing place under the jurisdiction of the Second Ministry of Soldiers and Engineering were slightly promoted to the Hanchen Westerners, and the Han Army's green camp was more important to the brave Manchurians at the same time, and the Hanchen Westerners who were able to use them were entrusted with important tasks, but they were under the control of the Manchurians. In this way, with each other's draws, over time, the cavalry and firearms of the Eight Banners Green Battalion will not be to be underestimated! ”
"Hmm......" Fu Lin pondered: things can be done, but who is used to do things is sometimes more important than the things themselves!
"Besides, although military affairs are dominated by the Eight Banners, it can be regarded as a royal tolerance. Each party fulfills its own wishes and uses the same policy, and we can first examine and see how effective it is in military affairs. "Hongyi is determined to win, and he has made up his mind to implement his decision.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? Tang Lao Marfa? "Fulin looks a little uncertain, so brainstorm first.
"The minister thinks that what the second son of the emperor said is very true, so those priests from the west must rejoice and praise the sainthood of my Qing emperor! will also devote everything he has to the emperor to the same as what he has learned! John Tang was elated, stood up and immediately expressed his position.
"Well, I see. Tomafa, please be seated. Fu Lin had a little confidence in his heart.
Taking advantage of the emperor's inattention, Tang Ruowang did not forget to cast a grateful glance at Xiao Xuanye opposite—this messenger of God, a great saint, you have really made outstanding contributions to the eastward spread of the Holy Sect!
Hongyi nodded slightly to Tang Ruowang in response, and then turned around in time and "looked" at the crowd below one by one-
Kadahun, Tuhai, Kyaw Lo Pahana, Ming Andali......
These people have all had close contact with little Belle recently, and they all know the power and magic of this little guy. After squeezing his eyebrows, Tu Hai took the lead in class:
"The minions have no objections!"
"Kyaw Lo Bahana, what do you think?" Fulin took the initiative to ask.
"Back to the emperor's words, what the second son of the emperor said, the slave thought it was ...... Reasonable. However, the promotion of Han people must be cautious and not rushed. When Jueluo Bahana interrogated Sun Gouzi that day, he had learned Xiao Xuanye's strength and decisiveness, and the emperor had to reluctantly agree when he inquired about it, but he still stubbornly insisted on his original intention.
"Lord Bahana is very worried, and his sons also think that no matter who is promoted, they should be applied according to their talents and make the best use of their talents!" Hongyi hurriedly rounded the field and made a small adjustment.
"Well, good! Be cautious in selecting and employing people! What else do you guys have to say? "Fu Lin's heart is basically decided, and the form needs to go through the procedure again.
"The minions have no objections!" The remaining Manchu ministers saw that the old stubborn felt that Lobahana had all been "agreed", and they had to reluctantly agree.
"Okay, do as you like! The firearms battalion and the second engineering department can be enriched with Hanchen and Western priests who have this expertise. The relevant ministries and institutes should all be assisted by the side. Fulin used the "priority" of the host's votes in a timely manner to decisively announce the passage of this issue!
"Ministers (minions) obey!" And the people bowed down to the commandment.
The controversial issue of "one-piece appointment" raised by a "remarkable" young scholar who was full of the spirit of national equality "regardless of Manchu and Han" was reluctantly passed through the discussion with the mediation of Xuan Ye, a "little peacemaker" who was even more "incredible," and with the superb "presiding over the meeting" of Emperor Fulin, who was devoted to Han.
[1] Yulian Path, should be the name of the place near Kunshan County in the early Qing Dynasty, Hongyi failed to pass the test, you can give a hint to one or two, xiexie! (To be continued......)
