C1623 Imperial rule (2/2)
The most obvious criterion was that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea possessed military power! This was very scary. When an official was able to control an army, the emperor could only watch from the side. Then, there were only two options left for the emperor.
One was to be a puppet out of peace of mind, while the other was to personally go and fight to the death between the two sides.
Since ancient times, the struggle for military power had always been bloody. Although the Qing Dynasty was the peak era of feudal power, military power was still the lifeline.
For example, Xiang Army, from the birth to the death of this army, Qing Dynasty never had the thought of eating him up, because they knew that they couldn't eat him up, even if they had to eat him in name.
Also, there was Li Hongzhang's Beiyang. In fact, Ci Xi and the others knew very well that when Old Li was alive, Beiyang would not listen to the imperial government. The army would only follow their founder.
Previously, when Zai Chun didn't understand this logic, when he sat in front of the Supreme Harmony Hall, he really thought that the whole world belonged to him. However, when Xiao Letian brought him out, he realized that he wasn't omnipotent.
This gave him an intuitive understanding of the military system. The army had a soul, and whoever injected their soul, they would become the father of this army, and these children would follow them for the rest of their lives.
He was hoping that with a few words of righteousness, he would be able to snatch the commanding authority? That was a dream!
After figuring all of this out, Zai Chun went from being an idealist to a utilitarian. He gave up all of his fantasies and started cultivating his own strength, practicing the new army of the Imperial Guard, meeting with the Xiang Army in secret, and taking back the unambitious officials of the Hun Chun.
All Zai Chun had done was to create his own Imperial Party, and use a group of direct descendants that were completely loyal to him to fight against the other factions.
Didn't you all say that I was alone? Then I will change my style. The Emperor will personally form a alliance and fight against all of you. Let's see who will be the final victor!
When the Hun Chun shouted the two words ”Imperial Party” today, the atmosphere immediately became strange. The Black Dragon River generals who were struggling to resist with all their might suddenly had a variety of expressions on their faces.
T?pchin's heart quivered, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, ”Oh no, these bastards have little ideas! Some gamblers want to bet everything on this! ”
”You bastards! Think it through! You all should know how the imperial government dealt with traitors! ”Throw all your evil thoughts to the side!”
”Don't believe Hun Chun's bullshit! It was impossible for the Qiqihar to fall! Don't forget where we have more than 30,000 soldiers! It is impossible for Qiqihar to fall … ”
Sister Wu and Hun Chun looked at each other but did not say anything. They only nodded, as they had realized that it was impossible for T?pchin to turn back now.
Zhu Shanchou understood tacitly and took out a thick hemp rope and stuffed it into T?pchin's mouth.
”Eight!” Shut up! You pig that's waiting to be slaughtered! ”
