C662 A strategy to throw stones (1/2)

Why did Jiang Lie instigate the Son of Heaven's personal army to besiege the Head Office? In fact, even he himself couldn't figure it out, but a few Western Historian had interviewed him before. However, Jiang Lie could not explain it no matter how much he stammered.

In truth, those who understood this fellow had already made it clear that this fellow had a fiery temper. He had been falsified because he didn't like the Prime Minister's decree, so in his eyes, every word from the Prime Minister was an imperial edict.

”Isn't the prime minister doing the capital's hygiene regulations for your own good? A smelly ditch has actually become a bustling business street. Isn't this a good thing? ”

”All of you earn a lot, and the Prime Minister has even arranged for the red cuff to supervise the city's cleanliness. It only takes a few hundred taels of silver a year in exchange for a clean and tidy capital master. Isn't this a good deal?”

”Are they all a bunch of dirty pigs? Then he would have to be dirty every day? ”It's weird, since we've become a new army, how can we gradually love to be clean? The prime minister forced us to brush our teeth and wash our faces every day and every morning, so we have to take a bath every three days. Right now, we feel completely different from when we were growing land …”

”Isn't it fine for the Prime Minister to let you clean up? Even with several hundred taels of silver, he was still greedy? In the future … Yes, I heard that the women of Beijing do not like to take baths. Some of them would take baths once or twice during the winter, how dirty would that be … ”

By the side of the horses was a carriage that stretched as far as the eye could see. Under the cover of the night, the Emperor's three hundred personal guards left the Guandong Gate and advanced towards the Tanggu.

Jiang Lie and his three hundred personal guards had done many things in one try, but they didn't think that a restless seed would be planted inside the Manchu. The Manchu was a group. He was different from the other imperial courts formed by the Han people. The shadow of the tribal council system from the ancient times had not completely disappeared.

To put it simply, the Xiluo's family had learnt the Chinese way of thinking about the divine edict of monarchy, and had used it to consolidate the supreme authority of the Emperor. However, in the Inside Eight Flags, there would always be a group of people who would not take advantage of this rule.

All those years ago, when the mountains and seas were in an uproar, everyone was drinking and roasting by a bonfire and discussing military matters. Why did Xiluo's family not listen to everyone's advice when you were in charge? There were still some people in Inside Eight Flags who were unconvinced.

If the Emperor wanted to centralize power and the Inside Eight Flags wanted to divide power, then that would be a contradiction between them. The three generations of the emperor were too domineering, all the opposition within the Manchu was suppressed.

But being able to suppress them for a short period of time was not the same as being unable to suppress the Emperor. Manchu was not like the Han Chinese who had accepted thousands of years to brainwash.

After Kang Yong Gan, although the Baji were still loyal to the emperor, they had more and more plans of their own. The Gu family had forgotten more and more about everyone's self-serving actions, until in the later years of Guang Xu's life, the entire Manchu had become loyal to Ci Xi, and had forgotten who the emperor was.

It was not hard to see the black water genes flowing in the bloodlines of the Manchu. In the end, the Manchu was just a group of small tribes, and all the central powers were learned from the Chinese people. In their bone marrow, they still liked to live a free and unfettered life of a tribe.

Of course, it would be great if tribal life could still enjoy the civilized services offered by the Chinese.

Jiang Lie once again unconsciously stirred. The collective actions of three hundred Son of Heaven's personal army s with grievances, had caused the noble clans of the Manchu to smell a dense sense of danger.

They definitely would not believe that this conflict was the work of a bunch of hot-headed kids. In their eyes, Company Commander Jiang's actions must have been ordered, and if it wasn't the emperor or the prime minister, it was more likely to be the result of their discussions.

”The little emperor's move is asking for directions, Xiao Letian took him out of the Forbidden City, so naturally, his heart became wild. He discovered that the entire imperial court could not stop him from travelling, so his appetite became even bigger …”

”To shoot a stone and ask for directions. This is to throw a stone and ask for directions. Maybe he wants to use such a simple method to find out where our bottom line is …” ”Perhaps he also wants to know who is truly loyal to him …”

”Brilliant, truly brilliant. Now I finally understand, 300 guards are the 300 families, those who are content to follow the imperial decree without discounts are naturally the loyal officials in the eyes of the emperor, and those families that stole the pillars have very obvious intentions. They are only loyal to their own interests and not the emperor …”

”Damn it, the Manchu Clan doesn't say much, not much at all. These three hundred people are the touchstones …”

Just when the two princes were worried, a deep voice suddenly came from outside the window, ”The problem is not as simple as you think!” The one who followed the voice in was Weng Tonghe.

It took Weng Tonghe, who had experienced this crisis for over a month, to recover and get better. Furthermore, this crisis had allowed him and the Eight Flag's upper echelons to get along very closely, and the estrangement between them had turned into an alliance.

From the fact that Weng Tonghe could freely enter the rear hall of the Head Office without even reporting about it, it could be seen that the old man and the two princes already had a very close relationship.

”My lords, I have been resting at home these past few days and have not been idling. Instead, I have read and reread the Journey to the West that was written by Xiao Letian several times.

”We don't know when to look, but once to be shocked, we underestimated Xiao Letian too much, which was why we suffered so much! Of these three hundred families, Xiao Letian had used the probability method commonly used in the West, which is one of the categories in mathematics … ”
