Chapter 728
After waiting for Yinxiang to withdraw, Zhenwu lost his mind to go to Xianfu Palace. He stood up and walked slowly in the hall. Although Lao Shisan did not say it clearly, it can be seen from his words that the Eight Banners Prince was quite dissatisfied with him. Now that this dissatisfaction has been accumulated for a long time, Kangxi's condition improved may become a fuse.
In fact, Lao Thirteen was wrong. The princes and nobles of the Eight Banners are not worth worrying about. Kangxi's attitude is the key. What attitude did Kangxi have towards his innovation over the past year?
The benefit of this series of innovations in the Eight Banners this year is that it undoubtedly strengthens the imperial power and solves the problem of livelihood of the Eight Banners. This is not a temporary solution to the livelihood of the Eight Banners through the expansion of the army, but a complete solution to the livelihood of the Banners by gradually transforming the bannermen into industrial workers. Kangxi must agree with these two points.
As for the reform of the recruit system, the reduction of the treatment of the Eight Banners soldiers, the lifting of the constraints on the local Eight Banners, and the transformation of a large number of the Eight Banners Green Camp soldiers into the new guard army, it is hard to say. After all, this is a subversion of the Eight Banners soldiers system, which Kangxi may be a little unacceptable for a while.
Furthermore, the measures of vigorously promoting the marriage between Manchu and Han, the officials and gentry were responsible for their work, expanding the new naval guard army, increasing the salary and salary increase greatly increased the burden on the court. Kangxi would inevitably have some complaints, but the opposition would not be too great.
The key is the Eight Banners system, which is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. With the increase in the scale of the bannermen's military workshop and the deepening of the military system reform, the Eight Banners system will sooner or later be completely destroyed. Kangxi will not see this. If he holds the Eight Banners system to the end, it will be hard to say.
It seems that it is necessary to travel to Rehe to explore Kangxi's meaning. In addition, we should also communicate well with the Eight Banners princes and nobles. Kangxi and the Eight Banners princes and nobles could not even slap them.
On October 15th, the five major dynasties will be held.
On weekdays, a group of princes and nobles who did not need to be early court also came to attend the morning court early. This situation naturally surprised the civil and military ministers. The princes and nobles were all thinking in their hearts that they didn't know what major things happened to the court. Since the first year of Zhenwu, the court has not been calm for a few days. I wonder what big measures will this master take today?
Because it was cold, Zhenwu had already changed the location of the morning court to the Qianqing Palace. After spending more than an hour to handle daily government affairs, Zhenwu ordered: "Issuing an order to bring all the royal family members, the Eight Banners Princes, the Minister of the Study Room, and the Manchu and Han nobles with the titles of second rank or above."
After hearing this order, all the princes and nobles, civil and military ministers all breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from this attitude, it was for the purpose of overseas franchise. Only the Thirteenth Old Yinxiang knew that because Kangxi's condition improved, Zhenwu wanted to vigorously appease the royal family and the Eight Banners princes.
I just don’t know how he would appease him? Over the past year, Zhenwu’s various measures not only deprived all the military power of the Eight Banners Princes and Princes, but also greatly weakened the control of the banners and princes of each banner, and the princes and princes of each banners over the banner people under his control. Although he absorbed a lot of Han military flags through the marriage between Manchu and Han and the expansion of the new army of the Imperial Guards, the princes and princes did not gain any benefits from it. Could Zhenwu want to divide the new banner people of the Han military flag?
After the crowd came in line, they knelt down neatly and said, "Slaves, please respectfully invite the Emperor to the Holy Lord, long live the Emperor."
"The Lords are calm." Zhenwu said calmly, and when everyone was greeted, he continued: "I have recently visited the capital in a private manner. I have heard some complaints. I have been working in a private place in the capital. I have built large military workshops for the bannermen entering the army, selling the city of Xi'an, reforming the new policies, expanding the army of the imperial guards, raising the Han army flags in large quantities, adjusting the vassal relationship of the Qing Dynasty, issuing silver dollars, etc., and summoning all the ministers today to hear the thoughts and opinions of the ministers.
I often say that everything has pros and cons, and there must be one pros and cons, and reform measures are naturally no exception. As the saying goes, no gold is pure, and no one is perfect. Since ancient times, there has been no perfect thing, and innovation measures naturally cannot be perfect.
I am not paranoid. The reform measures are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty, and the vital interests of the ministers. I have to pick on it and strive to avoid any disadvantages. The Qing Dynasty does not speak out for sinners, and all the ministers can speak freely and gather ideas and discuss them."
As soon as these words were finished, everyone in the hall couldn't help but be surprised. The most incredible thing was Longkodo, the admiral of the Nine Gate. He had never heard of these comments and complaints in the capital. Where did Zhenwu hear this? However, he quickly realized that this was just a reason for Zhenwu.
Zhang Penghong, Xiao Yongzao and other ministers in the study were also confused. Which one did this master sing today? This master has always been arbitrary and decisive, often swearing in public opinion and insisting on his own opinions. Why did he act like a gesture of following advice? This is not his style, and Zhang Penghong couldn't help but frown.
Lao Bayin also secretly felt strange. Some of the royal family members in the capital and the princes of the Eight Banners were dissatisfied, so why didn’t Lao Shishi mention it?
Prince Jian Yaer Jiang A, Prince Xian Jin Yanhuang, Prince Yu Baotai, Prince Zhuang Boguoduo, Prince Kang Chong'an, Prince Xin Dezhao, Prince Shuncheng Leerjin, Prince Keqinping Naersu, Prince Doroshun Bumuba and other princes were also secretly wondering, who would spread dissatisfaction in the Beijing Supervisor?
Zhenwu's actions over the past year have really hit their eight banner princes and nobles. Not only did they confiscate the military power of the lower five banners, but they also gradually weakened their control over the people of the banner, almost completely undermining them. Who has no complaints in their hearts? But now they are like tigers that have broken teeth. Even if they are full of complaints, what can they do?
The arm could not hinder his thighs, so he could only swallow his anger. Who was full and was looking for trouble? He spread dissatisfied remarks in the capital? Could it be that Zhenwu was planning to suppress them and fabricated them out of thin air? Thinking of this, the crowd couldn't help but become very alert.
Prince Bumuba of Doroshuncheng glanced at Orostro, Alsson, Mandu and others, and thought to himself that it was these brainless guys who made it?
The royal family members of the Man Palace, the Eight Banners Princes, and the Manchu and Han nobles all dared not speak easily because they could not understand the meaning of Zhenwu. Seeing this, the Prince of Yi went out and threw bricks and said, "I will report to the emperor, Xi'an and the new guards in the capital to expand their enlistment. A large number of Han people will be carried into the Han army flag. How should they be divided into the names of each flag? I pray for the emperor's holy decision. In addition, Xi'an is a city that is sold publicly. Will it cause the eight banners to follow suit? This will not only cause losses to the banner, but also be unfavorable to control the local area.
Seeing that Yinxiang mentioned the ownership of a large number of Han military flags that were promoted as soon as he opened his mouth, the princes and nobles were very concerned about it. At present, what America wants is population and is divided into the banner people under the names of each banner. Although it is not private property now, it is still okay to absorb them to the Americas, and they have no choice but to care about it.
Seeing that Lao Thirteen spoke first to break the silence, Zhenwu couldn't help but praise him secretly. He knew that Lao Thirteen raised the issue of Han flag in the new army of the Imperial Guards, and reminded him to use this to appease the Eight Banners princes. However, what he had to do today is not only to appease, but to completely win people's hearts.
After pondering slightly, he said, "The Han flag of the Imperial Guard New Army will be issued in all parts of the Han army. They will allocate the five flags according to the principle of balance, and report the number of people and soldiers on each flag." After a slight pause, he continued: "As for the sale of Xi'an City, it is because of the surge in Xi'an's troops. Xi'an City cannot accommodate it. In name, it is sold in the whole city, but in fact it is a replacement. Replacing the whole city with the new city outside the city, there is no loss of the flag property."
After hearing Zhenwu's words, the princes and nobles of the two flags, who were slightly weak, were secretly happy, but Yinxiang was quite surprised. Why didn't Zhenwu share the flags with each flag to appease each flag? Could it be that he had another way to appease him?
Seeing this situation, Lao Ba Yin also reacted and picked the thorns! Lao Zisi needs to pick the thorns. Although it is not clear, it is always right to pick the thorns at the moment. He also said: "The emperor, lifting the thorns on the Eight Banners and promoting the Manchu-Han marriage will help the thorns to dissolve the Eight Banners in the local area. However, this will not be conducive to the mobilization of the Eight Banners, and it will also be suspected that the tail will not be removed."
Song Zhu, the minister of Shangshu, followed closely and said: "The Eight Banners in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi are negligent in riding and shooting. Once they integrate into the local area, they will inevitably abandon riding and shooting. Now, although firearms are far better than bows and arrows, riding skills are not suitable for being absent."
The Eight Banners princes were already very dissatisfied with lifting the constraints of the Eight Banners. As soon as they saw this, someone immediately came forward to agree.
Seeing that Zhenwu was silent, Xiao Yongzao also listed and said: "Innovating industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes is not only a suspicion of competing for profit with the people, but also lacking supervision from local officials. This may make up for the loss of abolishing Huaxian. In this way, local businesses will inevitably be corrupt."
The princes and nobles were also dissatisfied with the reform of industrial and commercial taxes. Whose mansion was not running various shops openly and secretly, and they were operating profitable businesses, such as pawn shops, wooden ware shops, gold and silver ware shops, and raw pharmacies. The reform of industrial and commercial taxes was to increase the tax rates of their profit-making industries. As soon as Xiao Yongzao started, someone immediately followed him to agree.
Zhenwu still didn't say a word, but listened quietly in a calm and peaceful manner. The royal family and the Eight Banners Prince couldn't help but secretly beat the drums. What does this master mean when singing this song today? Gradually, the sound in the hall became smaller and finally there was silence.
Seeing that no one said anything again, Zhenwu couldn't help but feel disappointed. These Eight Banners princes and nobles were too cautious. No one dared to touch on the core military system, the new policy, and the bannermen working. Since this is the case, he did not want to waste time. He immediately coughed lightly and said slowly: "I will write down the disadvantages pointed out by all the ministers and the potential hidden dangers, and they will be good at weighing them. Everything is a combination of pros and cons. Pros are greater than disadvantages, so there is a need to implement them. Disadvantages are greater than advantages, so it must be reformed."
After a slight pause, he emphasized: "Compared with the entire world, the Qing Dynasty is only a corner, and the ministers do not need to always focus on the Qing Dynasty's three-point land. I have decided to increase the intensity of the feudal division and no longer limit it to overseas feudal divisions. In the surrounding areas of the Qing Dynasty, except for the Nanyang vassals, they are all in the ranks of the Qing Dynasty. The title of the Qing Dynasty is no longer in name but not in reality!"
