C2422 Core Divergence (1/2)

The eight flags that belonged to the first batch of Manchu s in the last year of the Ming Dynasty belonged to the eight flag Military groups. The descendants of these people also became the Beijing and the eight flag playboy groups that filled the city.

These people didn't have much to produce, they only knew how to lie on the bodies of the Chinese and suck their blood. Over 200 years of hard work had eaten them up until their heads were fat and their ears were big. They were the typical type of parasites.

These parasites had to be removed, the bandit leader had to be judged, and those that hadn't done any heinous things could be considered as having been kept under control.

Parasites must be deprived of all their privileges and thrown into the oven of society to fend for themselves. Those who resist will naturally be punished severely by law.

But how many people were there, the chief evildoers and the flunkies? Xiao Letian had secretly conducted an investigation, and he even started to send spies to Great Qing's Guang Lu Temple and the Ministry of Revenue.

It was only then that Xiao Letian realised that only one-third of the Manchu could directly eat these iron-clad crops.

As for the remaining two-thirds, they did not mix much. Although they were all part of the Manchu, due to the trials and hardships of the past two hundred years, the imperial government had abandoned many of their Manchu s.

Among these were the victims of political conflict, their descendants, the branch families that had been left to fend for themselves and the emperor, and the weak clans that had been left to fend for themselves and reproduce after three generations …

Various situations had occurred over the past two hundred years. There were even some special cases, such as the lustful and lustful playboys of the eight flags and the illegitimate children born out of carelessness. Their identities could not be revealed to the public, and they had only become the grey names in the genealogy books of the various clans.

In the past two hundred years, the Eight Banners Corporation had collapsed and then scattered, not at the beginning of the country anymore. A third of them were lucky to be able to eat an iron stalk crop, while the other two-thirds were orphans abandoned by the imperial power.

These people were all Manchu s from the bloodline, but they did not receive any benefits from the Imperial Court. Most of them had become slaves, while some of them had chosen to be independent and live like Han Chinese.

How was the Chinese going to deal with such a huge group? These Manchu who had never tasted the blood of the Chinese were going to be punished?

The answer Xiao Letian gave was no, these Manchu should be treated as innocent in the end. Maybe their ancestors from 200 years ago had paid the debt of blood, but after 200 years, these abandoned children who did not receive any benefits should not be implicated.

This was the last part of the stronghold's plan, to give these abandoned children Manchu a new future. Not clearing up the mess would instead give them a fair treatment, as this was the best way to stabilize the entire situation.

But they never would have thought that Xiao Letian's plan, which he thought was perfect, would result in a huge difference within the Chinese clan, and the Rangers was one of them.

Xiang Ying's group did not oppose Xiao Letian's plan to build a fortress. They also knew that defeating the Qing Dynasty required a process, it was right to temporarily hide in seclusion to accumulate industrial strength.

What they were opposed to was Xiao Letian's preferential policies towards the Manchu. In the hearts of these extremely fanatical youths, they would repay the debt of blood with blood!

How much blood debt did Manchu owe when they first entered the Central Plains? A hundred million or two hundred million? This debt was no longer clear. It was said that the Nine Hells were all conservative, and many prefectures had been wiped out for a thousand miles.

The blood debt of hundreds of millions of Chinese people was put down just like that? Let alone the two hundred years of rule, the Manchu had never treated the Han Chinese as humans before.

You can hoodwink ten million people, and you can hoodwink a province and two provinces worth of people to rebel against you? The people had no complaints, so how could there be a fire beacon for revolution?
