The three subordinates of the Qing San Ye only wanted to remind these eight silkpants who talked nonsense everyday, but they did not expect that after this explanation, they had already started an extremely large smuggling business!
absinthe being able to create illusions was not easy to get addicted to. Wasn't this the best opium substitute?
Why were there so many people smoking big cigarettes in late Qing? It couldn't just be attributed to the sale of foreigners on the market. The deeper reason was that the society of that time had become completely rigid!
Humans did not have the opportunity or method to change their fates, and all the channels were sealed!
Not to mention the Chinese, the hundreds of millions of Chinese were only competing for hundreds of imperial examinations every year. The ruthlessness of this competition could be imagined!
The Manchu naturally did not trust the Chinese to join the army, and being forced to use the military power by the Chinese in the later stages of the competition was restricted everywhere. Other than Ceng Guofan and a few other people who could achieve great things, the rest were just cannon fodder in the eyes of the imperial court.
The Chinese are miserable, but the Manchu is not that much better!
Xiao Letian had once said that the Manchu was a very big clan, and the eight flags were just one of the Military groups s!
Back in the days, when the Manchu was still in seclusion, although they were known as the soldiers of the people, it was impossible for any government to lack people who do not have logistics and production!
Like the white mountain and the black water, many of the Manchu tribes that did not fight in the past and did not have their hands stained with human life were left behind.
What is the Wild? In fact, they were originally just like the other Nur Haji tribes, ordinary Manchu tribes. Their bloodline was passed down for a thousand years, and none of them were nobler than the other.
It was just that this war had changed both sides' lives. The group that had robbed had entered the stage and become a Military groups known as the Eight Banners!
He did not participate in the battle and stayed in his hometown, becoming a large group of Narcissus. At this moment, under the command of the Far Eastern King, Xiang Shaolong, a large portion of these Narcissus were also fighting!
These Narcissus did not have much of a chance to advance to the next rank. The Eight Flag Corporation would not accept them to eat meat together, or even take a bite of their soup!
And must the Eight Banners be made of iron? Actually, that's not entirely true!
In the first few years after the Manchu entered, the central plains' wasteland had very few people. Furthermore, they had to pacify the three vassals, so the Eight Flag Military groups was still very prosperous!
Because battle could be fought, human life could be lost, and the lowest ranked soldiers had room for advancement. Even the accumulated meritorious service could be conferred the title of wife!
But in the later stages of Kang Xi all the way until the age of the dryad, there were not many wars going on in this world, and the population of the Eight Banners had grown bigger and bigger!
At this time, the attitude of the imperial government towards the Eight Banners changed. At the beginning, the imperial government felt that this was the foundation for governing the country, but now, it felt a little burdensome!
Eating so much, living so much, and then what happens every day! In order to solve the problem of the eight flags, the three dynasties of Kang Yong Gan had evacuated the flags' people from the capital to the enemies!
There were even groups of people who were rewarded with silver and land, and then moved back to other areas to settle down. That might be the age at which they bought and lost jobs in Great Qing Dynasty.
Of course, the majority of the flagmen were not fooled. They insisted on staying in the capital city and all over the country, never leaving no matter how hard they tried to chase them away!
Even if you cut my iron crops, I won't leave, and I won't go back to my hometown!
These flagmen who had lost their working years naturally left their military promotion group, the Eight Banners, and their lives could only be left to fate!
Finally, they took a look at the people who had died in the Eight Banner Corporation and refused to come out. Were their days really good? Of course, it was much better than facing the sky that was covered in dirt and dripping sweat!
