C3592 Eldest Sister-in-Law (1/2)
From the very beginning, the Eight Flag Group of Manchu did not have an inclusive structure that could swallow the entire world. Regarding power, especially military power, they would always have it firmly in their hands.
Before the Eight Flag entered their territory, they were already in a hostile state with the Mongol tribe. Manchu, who had luckily won after a long war, gave up on the old method of exterminating them all and chose to accept them.
They signed a pact with Mongolia to form the Eight Banners to fight against the world together, to share the wealth of the Central Plains … This was not because the Manchu had such a high estimate of population, but it was because it could only indirectly prove that the population of the Manchu was pitifully small.
They did not have that many people to rule the world. There weren't even enough people to beat the world, so they could only allocate a portion of their manpower to pull out allies.
When he first entered the city, he still used a lot of the Chinese troops to subdue his subjects. However, after the world was settled, the Chinese soldiers had already slaughtered many Chinese soldiers and seized power.
In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, all the military power in the world was concentrated in the hands of the Manchu. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, all the military power in the world was concentrated in the hands of the Manchu.
During the middle stage of the Qing Dynasty, the military power was divided between the ministers of both tribes. The Han people could only divide the military power by a small amount!
The emperors of the Qing Dynasty were very clear that the job of civil servant should be done by the Chinese. The minority nationalities engaged in politics, economic construction and cultural education … They really weren't good at these things, so they might as well have them all packed up for the Chinese officials.
As long as the nobles held the knives in their hands, they would be able to hold the military power in their hands for all of eternity!
No matter how prestigious a civil servant is, can they still withstand a single slash from this old man?
However, such a scene was completely shaken by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's movements. The long hair sweeping across Jiang Nan shattered the pretense that the military aristocrats of Man Meng were invincible.
The war had broken the political landscape, and the Chinese warlord, a thing that they had feared for 200 years, had once again appeared in front of them. At this time, other than using the Confucianism's moral articles and the conscience of heaven to kidnap them, they no longer had the courage to fight for power.
The Xiang Army and the Chinese were huge beings that the Qing Dynasty was afraid to the bone. Their powerful military might had made it difficult for them to sleep through the night, but they never thought that before the Chinese warlord was taken care of, Tongzhi would lure the foreign devil into the imperial court.
Gui Liu had gone mad, he stomped his feet and roared in the East Warm Pavilion: ”Ci Xi, Ci Xi! ”The Emperor is young and doesn't understand. You're almost forty years old, and you still aren't sensible?”
What a guy, a woman is afraid of others saying she is old, not to mention that Ci Xi is only 35 years old, in an instant he has turned six out of ten to forty years old.
The furious Ci Xi slammed the tea table and shouted, ”What did you say? I is forty? You, you, you, you … Get lost, I! ”
”Scram! Scram!” But if you scram, I'll have to make my words clear! ” ”Gordon is an Englishman. Back then, when he grew a fur, he had to use these foreign devils because he was forced by the circumstances …”
”It would also be an honor for the court to give him the position of Governor in order to get him to get back to England as soon as possible!”
”The Chinese have already snatched a large chunk of the military power under the heavens, and they can still seduce a group of foreign devils to lead the army? ”Let me put it this way, if there is anyone who dares to let the foreign devils lead my troops, and dares to give them a standing military general position …”
”I'll fight to the end with him!”
”Pa!” The brazen General, General Gui Six, smashed the teacup in front of him and turned to leave. All the eunuchs and maids from Yangxin Palace were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they did not even dare make a sound.
She really wanted to order the city guards to capture this perverse bastard, but when she thought about the tens of thousands of enemies in the Western Mountain, even when Ci Xi was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he didn't say that sentence.
She couldn't help but scream in her heart, ”Ah, late emperor!” Who would have dared to do that while you were alive? What happened to the Great Qing Dynasty? 'Why is it getting worse and worse every year... '
The Qing dynasty's centralized monarch system had reached its highest peak in the history of the dryad, and then gradually, generation after generation, but Jia Qing, Dao Guang, Xian Feng … In these three dynasties, the Emperor was able to subdue the crowd with his previous prestige.
None of the officials, including the relatives of the Inside Eight Flags s dared to act rashly, but after Tongzhi, not only did the Chinese warlord rise to prominence, there were even new military factions that appeared within the Manchu.
