In fact, the troops from Shanxi entered Guanzhong and the troops from Shandong entered Henan.
It probably means tearing down the east wall and mending the west wall.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the country, the nine-sided defense system that the Ming Dynasty had worked so hard to build was abolished.
Because the Mongols are the Manchus' own people, the Manchus have no enemies in the north, so they don't need to guard against anyone!
The Qing government's great enemy on the grassland, the Zhungeer tribe, was in the west.
The nine-sided defense system no longer exists and will naturally be abolished.
Therefore, Shanxi, which was close to the border in the traditional sense, became inland.
The former Shanxi Jiubian elite soldiers recruited by the Manchu Qing Dynasty can naturally be transferred to other places.
Shandong is almost the same!
Shandong currently does not face any threat of war, and there will be no problem in deploying troops from Shandong.
Tearing down the east wall and patching up the west wall doesn’t sound good!
But that’s not important, as long as it works!
Bumbutai nodded again and expressed his approval.
Then, she asked another question.
"Guangdong and Guangxi fell too quickly. The attitude of the local landlords and gentry towards the Ming thieves worries the Ai family!"
As Guangdong and Guangxi fell one after another, Bumubutai suddenly realized that people's aspirations did not seem so useless.
With the Qing Dynasty's absolute superiority in military power, it naturally didn't matter what people wanted.
But when the situation faced by the Qing Dynasty turned into a headwind, the will of the people became the ultimate weapon to accelerate the decline of the Qing Dynasty.
Although she didn't want to admit it, the Qing Dynasty was indeed far behind the Ming Dynasty in terms of winning people's hearts.
Whether it was shaving one's hair to change clothes, or imposing taxes on local areas, these policies of the Qing Dynasty were all pushing people's hearts towards the Ming Dynasty.
Bumbutai asked for advice because he wanted a way to win back people's hearts.
Suk Saha also stood up and said.
"The Qing Dynasty has its own national conditions, and the Eight Banners should be the foundation!"
"Those Han landlords and gentry are all cheap men. The reason why they dare to collude with the Ming thieves is because we, the Qing Dynasty, did not kill enough of them!"
"If you kill too many, they will naturally accept it!"
Suk Saha's old face was full of viciousness and unruliness.
Today's Qing court has not yet figured out that if it wants to rule the world for a long time and firmly, relying on the force of the army will not work.
We must collude with the vested interest classes and share their rights with the vested interest classes!
Well, it’s not just about sharing authority, but also benefits!
Historically, it was after the Rebellion of the Three Feudatories that the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to deeply collude with the Han landlords and gentry.
Prior to this, the main contradiction faced by the Manchu Qing Dynasty had always been acute ethnic contradictions.
To put it more bluntly, it is the conflict between the Eight Banners interest group and the original vested interests!
As for the ordinary civilians below, that actually doesn’t matter!
Neither the Manchus nor the Han landlords and gentry took them seriously.
In this era, Zhu Hongyu is the only one who can clearly understand how terrifying the power of the people at the bottom is.
Sony stood up and retorted.
"Suksaha, how short-sighted are you?!"
"Without the cooperation of those landlords and gentry, how could we, the Qing Dynasty, rule the world? We might not even be able to find the officials to govern the local area!"
Suk Saha's face looked ugly for a while when he was retorted, but he still spoke.
"Why can't I, a son of the Eight Banners, be an official and govern the local area?!"
Sony said unceremoniously.
"Be a shit!"
"I can ride and shoot without any problems, but how many of them can read and write?"
"How many of them can hold a writing brush? How many of them know how to pay taxes and punishments?"
Bumbutai interrupted.
"What Sony said is true, you can conquer the world immediately, but you cannot rule the world immediately!"
"If you want to govern the world, you still need those rotten literati!"
"So, we, the Qing Dynasty, have to find a way to win the hearts and minds of the Ming thieves!"
Ye Bilong, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth and said.
"Perhaps we, the Qing Dynasty, can make concessions to the local landlords and gentry on the matter of shaving their hair and changing clothes..."
The Manchu Qing's policies to offend the Han landlords and gentry were mainly shaving their hair to change clothes and forcing taxes.
In fact, the same applies to literary prisons, land enclosure orders, and house occupation orders.
However, the current literary inquisition is still in its infancy, and only those in Jiangnan have really suffered from it.
As for the land enclosure and house occupation orders, the area near the capital was most severely affected.
Literary inquisition, land enclosure orders, and house occupation orders are all regional in nature at present, so they are not considered serious.
Since then, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty wanted to ease relations with the Han landlords and gentry, they could only start by shaving their hair and changing their clothes and forcing taxes.
And of these two, one is actual benefit, and the other is a face-saving effort.
Especially now that the Qing Dynasty wants to use troops in the south and urgently needs a large amount of money and food for military supplies, it can only be said that all fools know how to choose.
Compared with face and lizi, lizi is more important in the end!
However, as soon as Ye Bilong had finished speaking, Fei Yanggu, who had been standing in the courtroom, stood up and objected clearly.
"Determined!"
"Shaving your hair and changing clothes is our ancestor's rule in the Qing Dynasty. It will never change for eternity. How can we change it so easily?"
Fei Yanggu was a member of the Eight Banners clan, the leader of one banner, a real official of the imperial court, with great prestige.
Even to a certain extent, the four ministers Gu Ming were introduced by Shunzhi to balance the group of people represented by Fei Yanggu.
However, over the years, Feiyanggu has always lived in seclusion, so he seems very low-key.
But when he really stood up and opposed something with a clear attitude.
There is a high probability that this matter will not be possible!
This is the prestige and strength of the leader of one banner under the Eight Banners system.
After Fei Yanggu finished speaking, Aixinjueluo Jieshu, the grandson of Daishan, the leader of Manchuria Zhenghong Banner, also stood up to express his support.
Subsequently, the banner owners also expressed their opinions one after another.
Now, in this situation where the two yellow flags are strong, the owners of other flags are subconsciously uniting.
We have the same attitude on many things and make progress and retreat together!
It's not that they want to rebel.
It was just to keep the rights in their hands and not to completely become a vassal of the imperial power.
Seeing so many people objecting, Bumubutai, who was a little moved at first, couldn't help but frown.
I have the idea of giving up this idea!
However, this idea had just appeared before it was killed by Bumu Butai.
What's going on?!
The more these people objected, the more she had to persist.
Now the young ruler of the Qing Dynasty is approaching the court and cannot take charge of affairs.
This is when the imperial power is at its weakest!
And every move of Bumu Butai, the empress dowager who listened behind the curtain, represented the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty.
She must not back down in the slightest!
Otherwise, it will give the other party a hint that they can push further.
This is partisanship!
Unlike politics, there are no concessions or compromises.
Only the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind!
There are many things that you know are right, but as long as the other person agrees, you have to oppose them.
"What kind of ancestral tradition is shaving your hair and changing clothes?"
"Fei Yanggu, could you please tell the Ai family that this ancestral system of shaving one's hair and changing clothes is a decree issued by our late emperor of the Qing Dynasty?"
Bumbutai gave a well-founded rebuttal.
Who issued the decree to shave your hair and change your clothes?
It's Dorgon!
Who is Dorgon?
Her old lover Bumu Butai, the leader of Zhengbai Banner, and... Shunzhi's royal father and regent!
Many identities!
But he is not the emperor!
If it is not a decree issued by the emperor, can it be called an ancestral system?
