Chapter 377: The Enemy of the Whole People, Guo Xing

Cixi was able to hold the artifact for nearly half a century in China, which was full of talents, and the identity of Xianfeng's widow alone was not enough. If Cixi was just a tiger lady who dared to declare war on the eleven countries, she would have been played to death by the capable ministers of the court. Yi Xin, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and a large number of other heroes in the world were all governed by this woman, precisely because Cixi had extraordinary abilities. She is not inferior to Pi Runmin in terms of insight into people's hearts and analysis of power and strategy.

Su Shun and Guo Xing'a called Yixin and his gang "Gonggui Rebel Party", among which Gui Liang simply made up the number, and the imperial court called Su Shun and Guoxing'a gang "Su Guo Rebel Party" is worthy of its name. In Guoxinga's gang, Su Shun is the political leader, and Guoxinga is the military leader. The two complement each other, without Su Shun's political appeal, Guoxing'a can't play at all, and without Guoxing's military strength, Su Shun would have died a long time ago. And because Su Shun and Guo Xing'a have an excellent personal relationship, most people, including Yi Xin, think that Su Shun and Guo Xing'a are the same thing, and the two are monolithic.

Cixi, however, had a different view, and the political goals of Sushun and Guoxinga were fundamentally inconsistent. Guo Xing'a wants to be a feudal town and use the power of the imperial court to strengthen himself, while Su Shun is the actual operator of the original imperial court, and he will definitely not allow Guo Xing'a to become bigger. In terms of political program, Su Shun is a defender, he adheres to China's political tradition for thousands of years, basically respecting the king and revering the king, and rejects everything from foreigners. Guoxinga is a reformist, to be open and inclusive, to learn the advanced technology of the West, and has a very close relationship with foreigners, even his troops are full of Western-style equipment, and the military uniform is similar to that of foreign devils. To be sure, Guo Xing'a and Yi Xin's political views are much closer, and almost the opposite of Su Shun. And there are also cracks in the personal friendship between the two people, Chengde's assassination of Guo Xing'a was arranged by Su Shun, when the situation is unfavorable, the two can only work together, but Guo Xing'a may not have a mustard in his heart.

It turned out that the two of them were forced to "join forces" by the imperial court, and at that time, Sushun had no place to stand, and Guoxinga was also in a dilemma, and it was a dead end if they did not join forces to fight against the imperial court. According to Nimashan's return, when he went to persuade Guo Xing'a, Guo Xing'a was actually a little tempted, but the conditions of the imperial court at that time were too harsh, so Guo Xing'a was provoked. Goxinga has a strong military strength, but its political energy is limited, and even if he asks him to mention it casually, he will not be able to threaten the central power, at most he will only seal the territory.

Cixi's conjecture was very correct, because when she persuaded Yixin, in the camp of the Gu'an army, Guo Xing'a was quarreling with Su Shun. Because the defenders of Beijing have lost their hearts, and the city of Beijing is just around the corner, the two of them found everyone who rebelled today, and got together for a small meeting, ready to discuss the arrangements after taking the capital. Victory was in sight, and the atmosphere at the venue was very harmonious, and everyone was waiting for the promotion of the official with laughter and laughter. But after it began to involve the post-war government and personnel arrangements, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and Su Shun began to comprehensively suppress Guoxinga, and even touched the bottom line of Guoxinga, and the two tough people inevitably quarreled.

Su Shun has not been worried about Guoxing'a conspiring to usurp the throne recently, and he has already controlled part of Guoxing's lifeline. In the process of Guoxing A's blocking and killing in the west, Sushun has completed the integration of the civil official system, and all the local officials led by Wen Yu have become Sushun's horses. Because of the problem of transshipment, except for the supply of weapons and ammunition, all the grain and grass of the Gu'an Army were provided by the prefectures and counties that had already been annexed. Su Shun grasped the real power of these prefectures and counties, which was equivalent to controlling the logistics and supply of Guoxing'a. Since the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court has used the routine of civil control and military to be nothing more than this, military generals fight outside, and all the grain and grass supplies are in the hands of civilian officials, so that military generals have to obey the arrangements of civilian officials. Now that Su Shun had mastered this, he felt that Guo Xing'a had to listen to him.

As a loyal minister of Xianfeng, Su Shun resolutely supported Xianfeng's political ideas. One of the top political propositions of Xianfeng is to suppress local military leaders, avoid the emergence of feudal towns, and ensure the stability and unity of the central government. Su Shun wanted to implement this set of policies, and Guo Xing'a, the number one warlord of the Qing Dynasty, bore the brunt. According to Su Shun's arrangement, Guo Xing'a needed to fully accept Xianfeng's edict, that is, to be crowned king, join the military aircraft, and at the same time hand over all the Gu'an army and arsenal to the state. Moreover, Su Shun believes that before Guoxing's entry into the military aircraft, there was also the threat of Yixin and others, and in the future, the court will have his own people, so Guoxing'a does not need to be afraid. Therefore, the army and the arsenal must be handed over to the state, and Guo Xing'a will handle all state affairs with peace of mind.

In terms of national politics, the differences between Goxinga and Sushun are even greater. Sushun's ruling strategy was to maintain all the policies of the Xianfeng Dynasty. First the south and then the north swept away all the rebellions in the country, and after the Qing Dynasty unified the country and Antai, it accumulated strength to expel the foreigners and abolish all treaties. There is not a single reform in the social, political, economic, system, and educational aspects, and what happened to the Xianfeng Dynasty will continue to be in the future. The only reform appeared in the military, which was to use the Gu'an Army as a model, comprehensively transform the Qing army, and turn all the Qing army into Shenji battalions, but mainly in terms of weapons. The organizational model, officer training system, weapons research and development projects, and so on of the Gu'an Army are all ignored, and the so-called reform is just a major change of weapons.

The personnel arrangement made Guo Xing'a unbearable. The little emperor can't move, and the queen mother of the two palaces has to go back to the deep palace to retire. As for Prince Gong Yixin and Gui Liang and others, Su Shun sharpened his knife and Huo Huo wanted to avenge his brother Duanhua and Zaiyuan, and he had to be killed if he couldn't do it. If these Guoxinga can still accept it, the treatment of the victor is a matter of obedience to himself, and it is completely a punishment for Guoxinga. Su Shun's first step plan is to get Du Han's brothers back, restore all of them to the status of the Minister of Military Aircraft, and Wen Yu can also join the Military Aircraft. Guo Xing'a calculated, if he did this, he would have to rank last in the case of overstaffing of military aircraft. The arrangement of the regiments of the Gu'an Army made Guoxinga completely angry. The formation below the regiment level was not disrupted, but Tan Shaoguang succeeded Guoxinga as the general of Heilongjiang, Bi Yuntao as the general of Jilin, Bo Ritu and Ji Ying as a general of Hangzhou, and a general of Hankou, and Actun went to Shanghai, and Mu Shun went to Shandong. Changlu, Kong Zhen and Fu Quan stayed, but all the three of them were incorporated into the Shenji Battalion and became the backbone of the Shenji Battalion. Su Shun also thought that his arrangement was fine, and all the strong troops of the Gu'an Army were distributed, which could help all localities quickly quell the chaos. Guo Xing'a always had to grab some soldiers in his hands to rest assured, so he gave him the Shenji Battalion, and the backbone of the Shenji Battalion was still Guoxing's old department, which could be regarded as comforting Guoxing'a.

After Su Shun finished talking about his dream idea, Guo Xing'a was speechless for a while, he especially wanted to go into the city to talk to Yixin. In terms of personal friendship, although Sushun and Guoxinga are better, Yixin and Guoxinga are not bad. From a political point of view, Guo Xing'a and Yixin should be together, and Su Shun is an old-fashioned stubborn as a whole. Although Yixin's Westernization movement is not very good, at least it has improved a little, while Su Shun's set is holding on to the defects and refusing to change at all.

Su Shun thinks that he is the leading brother, so Guo Xing'a must listen to him, of course Guo Xing'a refuses to agree, and the two naturally quarrel more and more. Wen Yu and others persuaded for a long time, and Su Shun calmed down a little. Thinking about it, the Guoxing'an family is also an important investor of the rebel group, so how should they listen to what Guoxing'a said. The result was that Guo Xing'a didn't say that it was okay, but Guo Xing'a said that the rebel group almost split.

Guo Xing'a has no opinion on joining the military aircraft as a king, but his ranking is a little higher, and the worst has to be the top three. Waste dim sum like Kuang Yuan, Jing Shou, and Mu Yin, just restore the official to comfort them, and the Military Aircraft Department will not enter again. At the same time, their own Gu'an army must not be dispersed, and must be tightly rally around themselves as an important force to deter localities. The arsenal could be subsumed under the Ministry of Industry, but it had to be managed by the people of Goxinga, and the imperial court purchased weapons and ammunition from the arsenal in the form of procurement.

In terms of national politics, what Guo Xing'a and Su Shun said is not the same thing at all. Guo Xinga believed that the Qing Dynasty needed to carry out comprehensive reforms in society, politics, military, economy, system, education, and even the imperial court system and bureaucracy. Not only the Xianfeng Dynasty, but Guoxing's proposition was to abolish almost all the systems of the Qing Dynasty for 200 years.

In terms of quelling the turmoil, Guo Xing Ah and Su Shun agree with each other, but in terms of their attitude towards foreigners, the two are two extremes. Although Goxinga also advocated the abolition of unequal treaties, it was not to expel foreigners and close treaty ports, but to open them to the outside world. Not only is it no longer hostile to foreigners, but it is necessary to strengthen exchanges with foreigners and learn advanced science and technology from the West. Actively set up domestic industrial and commercial enterprises to expand business contacts with foreigners. Change the foundation of the country based on agriculture and tilt towards industry and commerce in an all-round way.

After Guo Xing's long vernacular, Su Shun and the others did not refute him for a long time, it was not that they were convinced by Guo Xing'a, and they basically didn't understand. After understanding for a long time, even Wen Yu joined Su Shun's side and began to strongly refute Guo Xing'a. Shudian forgot his ancestors, changed to Xia with Yi, and so on big hats flew over one after another, and even Zhu Duoyou, Han Bingzhong and several other magistrates were all against Guoxing. In the general direction of the reform, the county magistrates did not understand it too well, but they understood the reform of the official system, and their vital interests were there! If Guo Xing'a changes the official system, how will they mix in the future, and how will the officials in the world mix in the future. The abolition of the Eight Shares is even more of a bastard, and millions of scholars throughout China are reading sage books every day. Therefore, even if it is for the sake of the world's scholars, these civil officials must not agree with Guo Xing'a's point of view.

Under the criticism of everyone, Guo Xing'a also discovered his own problem, and he became too anxious. If you really do this after taking power, let alone mastering the Little Emperor, even if you master the Jade Emperor, it will be in vain. If he continues to do this, it is tantamount to offending all the scholars, officials, landlords and gentry in the world, and these people have no choice but to fight with Guoxinga for their vital interests, so Guoxinga will really become the public enemy of the whole people. After realizing his mistakes, Guo Xing'a also changed his words, these are directional things, everything must be done slowly, not all at once cut off everyone's way of life. Guoxing's attitude of knowing his mistakes and changing them is very good, but everyone still can't accept it, and the last meeting to share the fruits of victory can only be broken up unhappily, and everyone will discuss it another day.

Guo Xing'a, who had just returned to his military tent, met an old acquaintance, and Nima Shan came again, and this time he was very sincere.
