Chapter Seventy-One: Relying on the Pass to Attack Gong
This is Kyori. Looking out from Beijing, the world is almost full of Han people.
Fifteen governors, before Xuanjun went to the United States, only the governor of Jiangsu was the banner man - Guan Zhuofan. After Xuanjun went to the United States, the governor of Jiangsu was acted by Zhao Jingxian, and the governor of the world was once all Han Chinese. Zeng Guofan was ordered to supervise the division and suppress the twist, and his Liangjiang governor was handed over to Li Hongzhang to act, and Li Hongzhang's Anhui governor was vacated, and the feudal Tai Yinghan was acted.
Of the ten governors, including the "Governor of the River" and the "Governor of Caoyun", only one of the Governors of Liangguang, Ruilin, was the bannerman.
This Ruilin, who was born in a pen-style style, can't even recognize the words. He sold bribes in Guangdong, did everything, and the only thing he was not interested in was government affairs. Such a good thing was almost overthrown more than once, and it was only because of his special relationship with the Empress Dowager Cixi that he barely stayed in the position of governor of Liangguang.
Ruilin is a fellow of Cixi's clan and also has the surname Yehenara. When the Cixi sisters returned to Beijing, orphans and widows, embarrassed and helpless, the clan often came to take care of them, only this one Ruilin. In order to repay this friendship of helping the hand, after the coup d'Γ©tat of Qixiang, Cixi tried her best to take care of it, and Ruilin's official fortunes became more and more prosperous, and finally climbed to the position of the governor of Liangguang. His curtain is deep, and although it is crumbling, it does not fall.
In other words, if Ruilin did not have this relationship with Cixi, he would only be afraid of ten governors and ten Han people.
In the two hundred years since the Qing Dynasty, the shili of the Han people has never grown to this point.
The reason is naturally that Hong Yang is in turmoil, the Eight Banners are incompetent, and it all depends on a group of Han people mainly from the Hunan family to raise their own troops. Only then was the chaos put down. When the army was booming. The policy of the imperial court was to be administered by whoever laid the place; Postwar. Naturally, local governments fell into the hands of the Han Chinese.
In this situation, more and more flag people are not convinced.
took it out and said things, turning it over and over again, it was Guan Zhuofan.
Who said that the long hair is all tied by the Han people? Shanghai was kept by Guan Zhuofan; Jiangsu was fought by Guan Zhuofan and Li Hongzhang together; Jinling, the cannonballs of the Xuan army entered the city before Zeng Laojiu! If it weren't for Gong Lao Liu's defense of the Zeng brothers, Jinling City would have been taken down by our banner people!
If that's the case, the banner people won't be forced out of breath by the Han people now!
Gong Lao Liu and Su Shun fuck all the way, eating inside and out!
Right now. The Xuan army has put down the rebellion of the United States, which Han can do it?
The majesty of the Eight Banners is really called "Super Ancestor Yuezong"! Emperor Taizong hit as far as North Korea, and the old man as far as Nepal, which is not as far away as the United States across an ocean. How can we say that our flag people are "one crab is not as good as one crab"?
This group of people began to openly demand that the imperial court reuse the banner people and belittle the Han people.
Both Cixi and King Gong were very sober. Guan Zhuofan is an outlier, except for him, his uncles are unbearable. It should never be reused. For example, Ruilin's position, change the flag man to do it. is equally incompetent, greedy for ink, and there must always be a flag man in the governor, it is better to be still, or Ruilin has done a good job, but it is not entirely because he is Cixi's private person.
With one Ruilin, Cixi and King Gong are already pinching their noses, can they stand up to a few more?
Wanting to be full, this group of people hated King Gong more and more, and secretly formed a trend of inverted Gong.
One is between Westernism and conservatism, the old and the new.
It goes without saying that the Westerners rejoiced at the victory of the Xuan army, of course; What is absurd is that many old-fashioned people also think that they have found a basis to support their own position: the Chinese have defeated the foreigners, which shows that the foreigners' set is useless, and the two chaos in the Daoguang Dynasty and the Xianfeng Dynasty before were just a temporary fluke of the foreigners. To govern the country and level the world, you still have to have the ancestral rules and the Confucian and Mencius Avenues.
The Westernists were dumbfounded: Xuan's military is a foreign gun and a foreign cannon!
Conservatives: The foreigners' ships are sharp and cannons, and we will have them all for a little money. What are other tricks and tricks used for?
At that time, there were two main places in China that really opened up foreign affairs, one in Beijing and the other in Shanghai. On the Shanghai side, the conservatives should naturally be invisible, and it is Beijing that is concentrated on attacking. As a result, the tide of opposition to foreign affairs, which was once suppressed by Guan Zhuofan's plan of "inviting them to try", raised its head again.
It was King Gong who presided over foreign affairs in Beijing, so the bannermen who hated the Han people and the conservative people who opposed foreign affairs naturally formed an alliance against Gong.
There is another kind of person who specializes in taking refuge in the upstarts who have just emerged, and reserves the place in advance in order to soar in the future. For this reason, they did not hesitate to take the initiative to attack the incumbents, clearing the way for the upstarts to rise. There are all bold and black-hearted people in this group, following the idea of "high risk and high reward", and if they fail, they will be demoted and dismissed, and if they succeed, they will be killed by the army, but if they succeed, the rewards are extremely rich.
In their eyes, the person in charge is naturally King Gong; This upstart is Guan Zhuofan.
In fact, at that time, Guan Zhuofan was still regarded as a member of King Gong's line, but for this group of people, this was not a problem at all. In all dynasties, those who trampled on the benefactor and took advantage of the situation to ascend to the throne do not know how many.
This group of "political snipers" is secretly grinding their fists, and they will launch it as soon as the Xuan army returns to China. In the treacherous political disputes in the future, they will have wonderful performances, but they will not press the table for the time being.
Several people, the common goal, is King Gong; The common "reliance" is Guan Zhuofan.
There is also zuihou all the way, which is the same thing, and it is also "relying on the guan to attack Gong".
Among the several roads, this zuihou road has the most energy. But when it comes to the number of people, there is only one person.
This person is Cixi.
In terms of attitude towards the flag people and foreign affairs, Cixi and King Gong are completely identical.
But the attitude towards power is different.
Cixi's position was very delicate. Nominally, the highest decision-making power is in the hands of Ci'an; And the actual power to do things is all in the hands of King Gong. That is to say, if Cixi wants to accomplish something, first, she must be supported by Ci'an; Second, be obedient to the king. One is indispensable.
Ci'an rarely doesn't support her, and this layer is not a big problem; But King Gong is not completely obedient.
If the uncle and sister-in-law have different opinions and cannot reach a unity in the end, there will be two situations.
One is that Cixi accommodated King Gong, which is not uncommon.
One was Cixi's insistence, and King Gong had no choice but to obey.
But "obedience" does not mean that Cixi's will can be truly implemented. The military planes are all King Gong's people, and the six departments also look at King Gong's face, one thing, if King Gong doesn't want to do it in his heart, even if the court verbally agrees, there are always various ways to eliminate it in the process of implementation.
Unless "the face is furious". But the Queen Mother can't easily lose her temper with the King of Parliament.
Including some seemingly small things, Cixi actually can't do it.
Once, An Dehai took a list and went to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for something. In this list, An Dehai made his own opinion, and added something more than the "usual". However, this "common rule" was set when Ping Hongyang was in place, when the money had to be spent on the army, and the expenses in the palace were very compressed.
An Dehai thought that since the battle was over, "the Queen Mother is raised by the world", it is not too much to ask for a little more. Cixi was said a few kind words by him, and he also felt that it made sense, since he boasted that he must have the ability to come back, he was up to him.
The secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was embarrassed and asked the Minister of Internal Affairs for instructions. Mingshan instructed: As long as there is no need to use the cash, what is in the treasury can be allocated to him.
Unexpectedly, at this time, King Gong, who was also in charge of the "management of the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs", came, and when he asked carefully, he was greatly annoyed: "Take the 'rules'!" β
The so-called "rules" are the written records of the "rules". King Gong took the list, compared them one by one, and crossed out all the extra ones.
After disposing of it, before leaving, he threw a sentence to Mingshan: "Tell Xiao Anzi that he is fishing in troubled waters again, provoking trouble, beware of the eating guy on his neck!" β
Of course, Mingshan will not tell An Dehai this sentence, and there is no need for it: because King Gong's voice is very loud, and An Dehai, who is sitting outside the house, can hear it clearly.
King Gong's approach according to the "rules" is of course the right way, but the words and actions are too faceless, An Dehai is of course afraid and hateful, and he went back and secretly cried all day, and Cixi felt very uncomfortable.
Cixi felt bitterly: she didn't have her own team.
