Chapter 303 Eight Banners New Army
The Lu family ran away, Cao Fu also died, and the regiment training he took with him also suffered heavy casualties. It can be said that he suffered a big defeat at the door of his house.

When Yang Zongren got the news, he spit out a big mouthful of blood, and just passed out.The originally tense body state is now like a broken string, in a completely desperate situation.

Li Fu, the governor of Zhejiang, was even more disgusting as if he had eaten a fly. He was annoyed at Sun Wencheng's suggestion of keeping a low profile, and also disgusted at the combat effectiveness of the regiment sent by Yang Zongren. In broad daylight, eighty or ninety people were killed by less than ten The individual was so beaten that he surrendered, and the entire battle didn't last even a quarter of an hour.

Shame, big shame.

But after venting his anger, Li Fu faced another difficult situation, which was how to write an excerpt for Yongzheng.Fortunately, he heard that Yang Zongren vomited blood, and he had already thought of the person who should take the blame.

In the secret book to Yongzheng, he wrote a long article about Yang Zongren's crimes, and finally came to a conclusion that the Lu family's escape was inseparable from Yang Zongren, and it was Yang Zongren who handled the affairs. Ineffective, leading to the successful escape of the Lu family in the end.

Of course, Li Fu knew in his heart that it was not enough for him to do this by himself, and he needed to find someone with weight to do it together, but in Zhejiang right now, he and Sun Wencheng were the only people with weight.

After Sun Wencheng knew what he meant, he didn't take it seriously at the moment. Anyway, he had already joined the Fuhan Army, and he was able to make Yang Zongren fall into trouble, which can be regarded as a credit. After all, he completely put Yang Zongren on the ground. This group practice strategy will die prematurely, and even the governor will have to remember this credit.

The two of them had similar tastes, so they each wrote secret papers overnight, and asked people to take a boat to bypass the area occupied by the Fu Han army, and then headed for the capital.It's just that Yang Zongren was pitiful, but he was kept in the dark, and his whole body was almost exhausted.

Several days later, the troops of the First Division of the Fuhan Army had already arrived at Jiaxing Mansion. Although it was only a thin line away from Hangzhou Mansion, the Fuhan Army stopped again, and had no intention of attacking Hangzhou in one go. Li Fu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the atmosphere in Zhejiang seemed a bit weird, and even outsiders felt a bit of a storm was about to come.

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that the Lu family has harbored evil intentions and has long been secretive. Seeing that they can no longer hide it, they chose to take risks and escape. But the hearts of the Han people and scholars all over the world are on the side of the Emperor!"

Zhang Tingyu knelt on the ground, his whole body was in a bad mood. He really didn't expect that when Yongzheng ruled the court, such a big black pot would appear in the south of the Yangtze River, and it would firmly cover the heads of the Han scholars.

Jiangnan Confucian Zong Lu's family defected, and Jiangsu's inspector Yang Zongren failed to deal with it. These two incidents reached Yongzheng's desk together. It would be fine if there was only one of them. It speaks for itself.

Soon, the excerpts were presented to Yongzheng's table like raindrops, and they were basically the excerpts of Manchu princes, relatives and ministers. The meaning in it was simple: "The Han people are not trustworthy, and the Han people are not trustworthy."

After all, the gap since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, after the turmoil of the Kangxi Dynasty, has finally developed into the biggest hidden danger of the current court, that is, the disharmony between the Manchu and Han, and the separation of people's hearts.

There was no expression on Yongzheng's face. He looked at Zhang Tingyu who was kneeling on the ground, but his heart was full of anger. Apart from causing trouble for him, these gang of slaves had no other role, even this one right now Zhang Tingyu's hard work is so hateful!

"What do you mean that the hearts of all the Han people and scholars in the world are on the emperor's side? The rebellious Chu Ni, the rebellious Zhu Yigui, and the fleeing Lu family are not Han people, are they not Han scholars?"

When Zhang Tingyu said this, he was asking Yongzheng for more understanding. In fact, he was telling Yongzheng a fact, that is, without the Han people, the court would no longer be a court.
So in the face of such facts, Yongzheng could only choose to endure, otherwise he would really throw all the Hanchens into prison, and the Qing Dynasty would be completely gone.

Originally, Ning Yu was forced to send someone to rescue the Lu family, but when something went wrong, it turned into a knife stabbing Yongzheng. He had nothing else to do except to block it with his body. There is a way.

However, this does not mean that Yongzheng will endure forever. He has already figured out a countermeasure, which is the Eight Banners New Army that is in full swing.Using the Eight Banners to counter the Han people is a good move that Yongzheng thought he was proud of.

Didn't you say that the Han people can't be trusted?Well, I will directly turn you all into bannermen, so that you will have no more excuses and no way out.Apart from following the Qing Dynasty to die, there is no other way out.

Who in the world doesn't know now?As long as the Han people enter the banner, there is no turning back for the Fuhan army. In the future, if there is a war, they will have to dig mines unless they die in battle. Therefore, entering the banner has become a means for the Qing government to bind the Han people. , and the Eight Banners New Army became an excellent move.

"I think it doesn't matter whether the Han people are trustworthy or not. The important thing is to let the world see that the Manchu family is not a lie. Based on the Eight Banners New Army, reshape the unity of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han tribes. , is the right way."

What Yongzheng said was actually just repeating the same old tune. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the first problem encountered was that the Manchus as the ruling nation were sparsely populated. If only a few tens of thousands of Manchurian men ruled the vast territory, Hundreds of millions of Han and other ethnic groups is a very unrealistic thing.

Especially at that time, compared with the Central Plains, Manchuria was relatively backward in terms of economy and culture, so it was easy to be assimilated by the local Han culture.At this time, Dorgon faced two choices. The first one was to imitate Dayuan and refuse to follow the Han culture. The result would naturally be to withdraw from the Central Plains.The second is to choose assimilation, but this is unacceptable to Dorgon.

Under such circumstances, Dorgon also established two basic policies. The first one is "Manchurian Fundamentals", which is based on maintaining the privileges of the Manchurian nobles. Han people are forbidden to participate, and there is also a university degree, Manchuria is the first grade, and Han people are the fifth grade. This is the fundamental manifestation of Manchuria.

Therefore, in order to appease the Han people, Dorgon also proposed the second policy, "Manchu and Han family", that is, to use both Manchu and Han in the official system, and to promote Manchu and Han intermarriage.But in fact, this policy is more on the paper and has not been actually practiced.

Just like during the Kangxi period, among the thirteen central agencies in the cabinet and six ministries at that time, there was a shortage of 82 graded and unranked ones, most of which were occupied by Manchuria and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while the amount of the Han army and Han people There are only 320 fifteen vacancies, and Kangxi also stipulated that Manchus should only hold official positions above the sixth rank, so as to ensure that Manchus can centrally control important positions in the central and local governments.

Zhang Tingyu and other Han officials are very familiar with this set. He knows that Yongzheng's intention to bring up the Manchu and Han families is nothing more than using the Eight Banners New Army to completely tie these Han people to their own chariots, so that they can no longer attack ends.

But thinking of this, Zhang Tingyu frowned a little. The Han army was attacking the city in the south, and the Qing Dynasty launched the Eight Banners new army in the capital. This actually shows one point, that is, the Qing Dynasty did not trust the Han people and was defensive , but what combat effectiveness can the Eight Banners new army built in this way have?
"Your Majesty, the Eight Banners are the foundation of my Qing Dynasty. It would be a perfect strategy to use the Manchurians and Han people as the new army. It's just that the slaves think that the proportion of Han people should be more cautious."

What Zhang Tingyu said naturally has his intentions in it.That is, we must first make it clear that the number of Han people should not be too large, otherwise if there are any problems in the future, such as surrender, don’t blame the Han people for their disloyalty.But actually on the battlefield, the surrender of the Eight Banners is not necessarily slower than that of the green battalion.

Yongzheng smiled, "This is just a trivial matter, but the key lies in the establishment of the Eight Banners New Army. The money and food needed also need the support of the Han people, so as to complete the principles of the Han family."

Zhang Tingyu instantly understood, Yong is waiting here, what is the Man-Han family?To put it bluntly, Han people may not be able to take much of this benefit, as long as they can save face, but here, they need to bleed a lot, otherwise can they be called a family?

"The slave thinks that the matter of money and food is also the foundation, and it can't be trifled with." To put it bluntly, Zhang Tingyu was taking Yongzheng's words and blocked Yongzheng's thoughts.Since the Eight Banners are the foundation, the money cannot be entirely paid by the Han people.

Yongzheng felt that he had touched a soft nail, and he was a little annoyed at the moment, so he lost interest in talking, and went back to Dongnuange to take drugs by himself.It's just that the matter of the Eight Banners New Army started to be done without mentioning it.

At the end of October in the capital city, a strange wind came in the outskirts. The wind was rampant and reckless, but it blew off many dense trees on Jingling, so that the ministers guarding the tomb wrote letters to plead guilty. Kangxi had just moved in not long ago, and now that such a weird thing happened, it would naturally arouse some people's guesses.

Yongzheng was also very angry when he received the news, and with this excuse, he sent a group of people mercilessly, including the [-]th Baylor Yunti. Letting go of the blame, Yongzheng sent people to circle him directly, which can be regarded as completely canceling the original preferential treatment.

In an academy in the capital city, Xu Yuanmeng, a great scholar at the time, was wearing casual clothes, a hat on his head, surrounded by a small copper stove, and holding a booklet in his hand, reading this book while feasting. Zhezi, after looking at it for a long time, he sighed.

"Zhang Hengchen, Zhang Hengchen, you have really caused this old man a lot of trouble!"

Sitting opposite the Wishing Gate was Zhang Tingyu, Minister of the Household Department, with a wry smile on his face, and sighed: "Brother Shan, the current situation in the court is treacherous, and I really dare not stand still, otherwise sooner or later One day, this calamity will come to my little brother. Only Brother Shan has a special status, and maybe he can turn around."

Xu Yuanmeng sounds like a Han Chinese, but in fact he is an out-and-out Manchu Confucian. His original surname is Shu Mulu, and he has an extraordinary relationship with Yongzheng.It's just that Zhang Tingyu is a little desperate right now, so he can only choose to ask Xu Yuanmeng for help.

"You are clear about the current situation. The New Army of the Eight Banners is already in progress. Don't you still know the emperor's intentions? Let alone the emperor's determination is as strong as iron. How can I persuade you?"

Zhang Tingyu was a little silent, and sighed: "At present, the emperor means to run the new army of the Eight Banners, but the rations of the new army of the Eight Banners are to be paid by Han gentry, so that the entire Han family is full. Heroes are nothing!"
