The abolition of the "Shaving Hair and Costume" order has little impact in the capital. The more than 70 years of shaving Hair and Costume has long been a habit for a group of gentry and people. Moreover, when the implementation of the "Shaving Hair and Costume" order was too barbaric, many elderly people were still scared. Although I believe that the Qing emperors today will not repeat the barbaric behavior of the past, it is now the world of the Qing Dynasty. It retains the habits of the people, which are not only safe, but also have a sense of superiority. No one is willing to find trouble without any trouble.

However, the people of Shunyi soon discovered that a small number of military officials in Shunyi camp had shaved their hair, and they were all bald, which shocked them. It would be fine to raise their hair, but why didn’t they even want their hair? Isn’t this very unfilial? Without braids and long hair, are they still the people of the Qing Dynasty? This world is really becoming more and more confused.

This group of soldiers who shave their hair were naturally all officers and soldiers affiliated with the naval sequence. Zhenwu issued a special order that in order to adapt to the needs of long-distance voyages and wars, all naval officers and soldiers were shaved, and they were not allowed to have braids, long hair, big temples and beards, and their hair should not be longer than half an inch. Those who do not want to shave their hair will be transferred to the Eight Banners Green Camp.

Although they are reluctant to give up their braids, and although they are disgusted with having short hair, no one of the naval officers and soldiers is willing to go to the Eight Banners Green Camp. What a joke. Now the soldiers of the Eight Banners Green Camp have sharpened their heads and want to squeeze into the Navy and the New Guards Army, but no one can't make it with their future and money for braids.

With the arrival of Zhenwu's decree, the navy of Shunyi, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Karoba reluctantly cut off their braids that had been with them for 10 or 20 years.

However, they soon discovered the benefits of short hair. In fact, it is indeed inconvenient for the navy to keep braids, because the navy has a lot of swimming training and often has to work in the rain on warships. Nowadays, braids are getting thicker and thicker, and it is not easy to dry when wet. Moreover, they will get wet uniforms, and they will dry out if they wipe them at will, which is much more convenient. In addition, a long braid has many inconveniences when working on warships and training firearms. Once something happens, they will distract the braids, otherwise it will get in the way.

The new guard army was mainly bannermen. After hearing Zhenwu's imperial edict, all the officers and soldiers were worried. The navy did not cut off their braids and turned to the Eight Banners Green Camp. So wouldn't the new guard army cut off their braids sooner or later? Without their braids, are they still considered bannermen? The emperor is good at everything, but how could he have such a strange idea?

Soon, the smart businessman smelled the business opportunity, and the shop selling fake braids came into being. As soon as the news spread, many naval officers and soldiers and the new guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At worst, they could buy fake braids when they went home.

The people were just surprised by the Navy's behavior of cutting off their braids, and no one dared to discuss it. Who knew that the Navy was the flesh of Zhenwu Master. Without Zhenwu Master's imperial edict, they dared to cut off their braids? Since it was Zhenwu Master's will, it was not something that the common people dared to discuss casually.

The royal family members in the capital were very dissatisfied. But they only dared to close the door and curse, "What kind of discipline is this? Without braids, are they still called bannermen? No one dared to say anything in public, and everyone knew that accusing the Navy was accusing the Emperor. Besides, there were few bannermen in the Navy, but now the Qing Dynasty cannot live without the Navy for a day.

All the royal family members and princes and nobles of the Eight Banners are desperately trying to let their flag-goers learn to swim and take the navy. Whoever dares to publicly accuse the navy of the navy is purely self-willing to embarrass you. Now the navy is a popular commodity, and if you want to keep your braids, no one will stop you.

The gentry who maintained long hair, braids, traditions, filial piety, and paid attention to their parents, no one cared about this little thing at this time. Another big debate in Beijing News Ning News began, and the Chinese and foreigners were distinguished!

All the gentry and officials in the Qing Dynasty and the country were involved in this unprecedented debate. The Beijing News made a long discussion, listing the views of the Chinese and foreigners in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty, and systematically expounding the changes in the measurement standards of the Chinese and foreigners in various stages.

Ning Bao maintained his usual style of free attacks and refutation. Any article with novel ideas and sharp writing styles, regardless of whether the views are correct or negative, is published. The distinction between China and the barbarians is a long-lasting topic. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty was not a Han nationality. The debate was full of strong gunpowder at the beginning, and countless wonderful sentences emerged, and the incisive views of famous scholars and tycoons from all generations were also introduced to the newspaper.

While the Beijing News was discussing, it launched a criticism of Dorgon and Oboi, listing the disasters caused by Dorgon's chaos in politics and Oboi's abusing power to the Qing Dynasty. It was enclosed, fled, fled, shaved his hair and changed his clothes, and literary inquisitions fell on the two of them one by one. It was originally when they were in power. Shunzhi and Kangxi both ascended the throne since childhood. They naturally could not be held responsible for all the evil deeds before taking charge of the rule.

He criticized Dorgon and Oboi, and then the Beijing News began to praise Emperor Shunzhi and Emperor Kangxi for rectifying the chaos, expanding territory, being kind to Mongolia, governing **, punishing corruption, rectifying the administration of officials, promoting profits and eliminating disadvantages, attaching importance to agriculture, promoting literature and education, being kind to the Han people, and developing overseas.

The Beijing News's praises are very contrasting. What ordinary gentry sees is the criticism of treacherous ministers and praises the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but many famous scholars and scholars, and gentry officials see the Qing Dynasty's major mistakes openly admitting in the early stage of entering the Central Plains.

The emperors of all dynasties have always been very secretive about the mistakes of this dynasty. Although the Qing Dynasty still held a pipa and half-covered her face, it bravely took the step of open self-reflection and self-correction, which made countless gentry feel deeply moved and greatly promoted the great debate between China and the barbarians toward culturalism and worldism.

In the winter of the fifth year of Zhenwu, with the secret support of Tsarist Russia, Cewang Alabtan sent Celingdundobu to lead 6,000 cavalry from Hotan to Tibet from the west, defeating Lazang Khan in one fell swoop, then conquered Lhasa, killed Lazang Khan, and established rule in Tibet.

In the summer of April of the sixth year of Zhenwu, Zhenwu issued a sage edict, ordering Yue Zhongqi to be the general of the Western Expedition to command the 10,000 new guards in Xi'an to conquer the Junggar, and the Northwest War officially kicked off.

In May, a huge merchant fleet formed by France, Spain and other European Union countries arrived in the Qing Dynasty for the fourth time, which not only brought a large number of European scientific and technological talents and technical talents, but also brought the steam engine that Zhenwu had always dreamed of.

Years of war have completely defeated France and Spain's domestic economy and trade with the Qing Dynasty. They had neither goods nor gold nor silver. They could only exchange a large number of talents for large loans from the Qing Dynasty. Not only were the talents from France, but they also went to European countries to poach and even hired mercenaries to kidnap famous talents from various countries to satisfy the Qing Dynasty's desire for talents. They had a few steam engines that were mainly used to pump water from the mine, which was even a piece of cake.

Not only France, Spain recruited talents all over Europe, and the Qing Dynasty's Nanyang Fleet stationed in Tangier Port was not idle. At the end of the third year of Zhenwu, Yinzhen and Shi Shipiao received Zhenwu's decree, asking them to secretly collect talents of natural science, physics and chemistry, astronomy and geography, navigation and metallurgy in Europe. No matter how to use it, as long as you get people to the Qing Dynasty, it will be done.

Yinzhen and Shi Shipiao naturally understood the importance of talents and collected outstanding talents from Europe. Not to mention whether it would bring great benefits to the Qing Dynasty, it could at least delay the development of Europe. The members of the envoys on missions to Europe immediately regarded lobbying talents from various countries as their main responsibilities.

The European Corps, which Yinzhen had trained for two years, also began to appear on stage, and began to go to European countries to investigate and kidnap various talents, and began to spy on various intelligence.

It turned out that as early as the second year of Zhenwu, Yinzhen and Wu Sidao discovered that there were a large number of mercenaries in Europe who were indifferent to the concept of the country and recognized money. The two of them were naturally very interested in this. They immediately started to take over and train desperate people from various countries, build their own teams, and prepare for the ban on Africa.

Training the European Corps is not something that can be obtained by a small amount of gold and silver. That is no different from burning money. Yinzhen's financial resources in Europe were obviously unable to cope with, so he had to submit a memorandum and trust Qi Zhenwu to submit the income from the Nanyang Fleet to suppress pirates to the training of the European Corps.

Zhenwu agreed without hesitation. After investing so much money, it was not that it was effective. After receiving the decree of Zhenwu asking for various talents, Yinzhen put the European Corps into use.

Under the comprehensive and meticulous collection of the French, Spanish and European Corps, a large number of European talents were continuously sent to the Qing Dynasty.

This is the largest talent sent to the fleet, with more than 500 talents engaged in natural sciences, physics and chemistry, astronomy and geography, navigation and metallurgy.

A small fleet stationed in Tangier Port was also brought back to Prince Yong Yinzhen, Suiyuan General Shi Shipiao, Lin Wei, Fu Anding, Liu Zhisheng, Fu Han, Chen Pengnian, Yinzhi, Yinzhi, Yinreng and other secret comments and memorials from all the officials on this route.

Zhenwu first demolished Yinzhi and Yinreng's secret box. The two of them started to establish commercial ports at two ports at the western and eastern ends of the Persian Gulf in the third year of Zhenwu. One was Hubair and the other was in the Portuguese Port. In order to seize the Portuguese Port, they also fought a small battle with the Portuguese, and drove away the Portuguese and finally gained a foothold.

Now that the Northwest War has broken out, Zhenwu's attention to the Persian Gulf is naturally greatly increased. At least thousands or even tens of thousands of naval and imperial guards must be dispatched in the Port of Abbas. If necessary, they can move northwest and even fight two battles to restrain the forces of the Ottoman Empire and prevent him from pursuing the north.

Zhenwu was not worried about Yue Zhongqi's conquest of Junggar. What he was worried about was the Ottoman Empire, an old empire that could block East-West trade, indirectly promote European voyages, and open up new routes. He really lacked understanding of the background of the old empire. He didn't know whether it was still the heroic spirit now. If he didn't understand the details, Yue Zhongqi would definitely suffer a great loss when he pushed west rashly.
