Sixth Update

"What do you say? Zeng Guofan just called his son-in-law to the Hunan Hall and then scolded him, so he didn't think it was there? Qingyu listened to the report of the waiter in the palace, and was about to jump again. She received a letter saying that the son-in-law of Yuan had been in the Bada Hutong for the past two days, and he hadn't even returned home, "By the way, didn't you say that it was a loser?" Where did he get the money to be so squandered? ”

"Hang the account, hang the account of Lord Zeng." When the waiter said, he also raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that there could be a hanging account?

"Who's back?" Qingyu opened her mouth wide, can this still be on the account?

"That ......" The waiter outside paused for a moment, and then stopped making a sound.

Qingyu opened her mouth, she always felt that Zeng Guofan was a Qing official, but think about it again, can a Qing official be hit by the Jinshi and return to his hometown for a year to fight the autumn breeze? Qing officials were able to live in Beijing for ten years, and they lived in debt, and only paid off their debts after becoming the governor of Jiangnan.

By the way, she heard a joke. Legend has it that when Zeng Guofan's mother died, he happened to be out of school. At that time, he hadn't arrived at the place where he was on the school tour, but he received news on the way, but he still insisted on going to the place and invited Ding Wei there.

She didn't understand why at the time, but Xianfeng laughed and said that the rules of officialdom, when he arrived at the place, he was a colleague, so his colleagues in Beijing wanted to send a copy of the ceremony, and those people in the place also had to send a copy. Legend has it that he relied on this money to bury his mother.

At that time, she only thought that this old man was quite slippery, but think about it again, after ten years in Beijing, she had borrowed thousands of taels, but why didn't anyone urge him to pay back? And can you borrow again and again? Whose money is not for nothing, why can he borrow it so that he can live comfortably?

At that time, she was also shocked, because the Ministry of Internal Affairs also has many stores, and now they are supporting themselves, so their stores will not be so hung up! I also sent someone to check it out.

Fortunately, her stores are all high-end places, and those in her store are all spent a lot of money, who would be so embarrassed on credit. Qingyu was quite angry, and she was busy asking people to check who dared to spend a lot of money in her store?

Now that she heard that his son-in-law was like this, she was speechless. She is a businessman, and she knows very well that a certain official has spent money in a certain place, signed a bill, and then a certain businessman knows about it, and he wants to help him redeem the IOU and return it to a certain official.

There may really be no interest in the middle, but even if there is only one interest, it can't work, right? Now it's still his son-in-law who signs the order, so why did those people let him sign it, it means that someone must help him pay it back, so he will be so fearless, and the merchant will be so casual, right?

Qingyu let out a long breath, "Go and check, who is returning Yuan's list before, and the palace must have solid evidence." ”

The waiter didn't say much, knelt down, and withdrew.

"Niangniang, this thing seems to be getting bigger and bigger!" Mama Lin frowned, "Originally, the Han officials now feel that it is quite a shame to only let the children of the Eight Banners serve in the military. ”

In the first ten years, they have been suppressing all the Manchu ministers, of course, if there are really a few really good, they have also been reused, but the number is too small.

But now in ten years of operation, there are far more flag military attachés than Hanchen. This actually made the Han officials a little uneasy, and they felt that not allowing the Han people to serve was ironclad evidence that the Eight Banners wanted to grasp the regime. Therefore, Mama Lin has never thought that Qingyu will be angry with Zeng Guofan this time, will it attract the backlash of the Han officials.

This is related to the so-called implementation of the military service system in the banner books in recent years, which is interpreted by Han officials. Because they felt that as long as they were bannermen, no matter which Eight Banners of Manchuria, Meng, and Han, they had to be forced to return to the army. However, they have not yet figured out what the Eight Banners are.

The Eight Banners are actually military establishments. The flag registration is the military status, and they can enjoy military pay when they are born. It was in this way that Xianfeng said that you received the money, so go back and do what you should do, right?

So except for the real problem, they were all thrown into the barracks. Because the flag is for life, these people do not have the problem of serving only a few years in the military in later generations. If you go in, don't think of coming out and harming the people.

And those who are really weak will go to civilian jobs, and those who have no ability in various civilian jobs will not be promoted. The next one, go to the sappers. Being a sapper is hard work, and of course there is a danger to life, but every branch of the army has a way to be promoted, as long as you work hard, you can.

The children of Eight Banners are actually lazy, but without the doting of their parents, these children are actually human spirits, and they are all literate and hyphenated, and it is not difficult to get promoted.

One by one, there is no one in the barracks who is the master or who is the slave, and on the first day of entering the barracks, it was emphasized that "the strong are respected"! So over the years, these people have been beaten out alive.

"The Eight Banners have become a scourge at the beginning, will it not be done again? At that time, how many people broke their son's leg at home, what do you say now, don't let the Han people be soldiers? Qingyu smiled bitterly.

Qingyu swore that she really didn't think about putting military power in the hands of the Manchurians. In that case, what should I do with these bad embryos? Since the Kangxi period, he has had a headache with the rot of the Eight Banners, and in the Xianfeng year, he has reached the dilemma of not being able to get rid of the tail.

At the beginning, the Eight Banners were actually no longer combat-powered, and if the Taiping Army hadn't played a little conspiracy and really continued to fight, it would have to really re-form a new army and put the Eight Banners aside.

Starting from the magnates in the capital, it will be slowly promoted to the whole country, as long as the flag is registered, in fact, it is also the military registration, and now the country needs you to return to the army. This is not a full-fledged promotion of military service, but a way to put aside those who are idle at home and go and feed themselves!

After ten years of big waves and sands, the generals in the army are slowly becoming full. Who let now only let the children of the Eight Banners enter the camp, and the proportion of officers in each battalion has slowly become unbalanced.

The so-called imbalance is also what the Han officials think. The Eight Banners Army was rotten before, so they could only point to the Green Battalion. And the officers of the Green Battalion have always been flag-based, no different from before. But now that the Eight Banners are slowly rising, the Han officials feel that they have no military power, so they are uneasy. I don't want to think about it, the two biggest pieces in charge of the army now, one is Zuo Zongtang, and the other is Monk Lingqin. They are a Han Chinese and a Mongolian prince.

"The emperor has repeatedly said that the Manchu and Han families are now not against the Han officials, but the Han officials are against the Manchu officials." Qingyu chuckled and let out a long sigh, "You also think too much, I just don't think that the girls of that family can live in the shadow of that father for the rest of their lives." ”

"In fact, according to the old slave, people's lives are lived by themselves. To put it mildly, when the five people came in, except for you and Concubine Li, who came down again. Therefore, what Master Zeng said is right, it is all fate, and if you are strong, you may not have a bad time. Mama Lin looked outside and said softly.
