It is true that the Han army raised the flag, and it has been going on since Qianlong ascended the throne.
The reason, to put it bluntly, is that with the suppression of the San Francisco rebellion, Manchuria's rule in China was completely stable, so the status of the Eight Banners of the Han army that once conquered the world for Manchuria gradually became lower and lower with the arrival of "peace".
Lost the value of their existence.
This is the cause.
The internal reason was that the Han army's Eight Banners had too many people, which resulted in a huge financial burden on the Qing government.
The information Jia Liu learned from the people around him was that during the Yongzheng period, the population of Han soldiers and Han Banner slaves accounted for 60% of the total population of the Eight Banners.
In other words, there are 600,000 Han army bannermen out of one million bannermen.
This problem is very serious, so during the Yongzheng period, Manchurian officials wrote a letter saying that if the Han military flags were allowed to grow indefinitely, would the Eight Banners in the future be the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, or the Eight Banners of the Han Army?
Therefore, Yongzheng launched the military flag reform, preparing to allow the eight banners of the Han army with a large population to use flags for the common people, firstly to reduce the financial burden, and secondly to ensure that the Eight Banners would not put the cart before the horse.
However, this matter was put on hold due to the sudden death of Yongzheng. It was not until the seventh year of Qianlong's reign that it was officially announced that except for the Liaodong Han Army (called the Old Han Army in the banner) that entered the pass from Conglong, it was not included in the outgoing banners. The other eight banners of the Han army were as incoming.
Those who surrendered after the Pass and those who originally belonged to the Three Feudatories were among those who left the banner.
In the next thirty years, the Eight Banners of the Han Army would raise flags approximately every three to five years. Probably 200,000 people raised flags. However, most of the banners were raised by those who originally belonged to the San Francisco Tribe, and
Those ordinary bannermen with no military achievements in their ancestors.
Although the Jia family was attached after entering the customs (the old man Jia Hanfu was the deputy general of Huai'an in the Ming Dynasty), the old man Jia was a founding official with outstanding military achievements, and he had a hereditary title and would definitely not be included in the banner. Because meritorious officials can be expelled from the banner later.
, that would be too chilling and detrimental to the stability of the Eight Banners.
Therefore, Jia Liu suspected that his father Daquan had heard some rumors that led him to burn the pig's butt, but he was afraid that it was true, so he and his father could only rush to Dutong Yamen to find out.
"Master, Master!"
Yang Zhi also wanted to follow, but the master and the master ran away as if he had taken medicine. He had no choice but to pick up the birdcage on the ground, and by the way, he picked up the walnut that the master had stepped on and peeled it to eat.
"Pooh!"
I spit it out after just one bite. It was so bitter.
.......
As soon as you hear the place name Dongchang Hutong, you will know that it is the location of the Dongchang Yamen of the former dynasty. There are many similar place names that retain the imprint of the previous dynasty. There are many Xixinsi Hutong and Baochaosi Hutong in the inner city.
Although the father and son usually don't deal with each other very much, in the face of common interests, this pair of father and son, who usually dislike each other, are rare to work together.
We arrived at Dongchang Hutong.
Along the way, not a single word was spoken!
As a result, when the two of them arrived at the place, they took a look inside. Good guys, the Dutong Yamen had already been surrounded on three floors inside and three floors outside. They were all bannermen who heard the news and knew that they were going to be kicked out to become Han people. They came to complain.
Seeking justice.
There were quite a few acquaintances, and Jia Liu knew quite a few of them. On weekdays, when he saw them on the street, he had to say hello, and during the holidays, he had to go and say hello.
Where is the Dutong Yamen? It is a first-class unit, a deputy minister in Jia Liu's previous life, and an Yamen with key functions integrating military and political affairs. How can it allow the bannermen to make such a fuss about the general?
Therefore, there was already a group of soldiers blocking the yamen outside. No matter how much the group who wanted to raise the flag clamored to see Lord Du Tong, they were not allowed to enter.
Perhaps it was because the flag soldiers who maintained order were all members of the banner, so even though no one was allowed in due to their duties, they all had smiles on their faces and tried to persuade them, and no idiot did anything wrong.
At this moment, no one can care about anyone.
Jia Liuye and his wife struggled to squeeze through the crowd to the front, and then they discovered that there were several long tables placed next to the yamen entrance. Behind the long tables sat several people from the household registration office, archives, salary room, and rice bureau under the yamen.
, but except for the two seventh-grade Zhengshu Dian section chiefs, everyone else is a yamen copywriter and file manager (similar to clerks, Manchu, Mongolian, and Han military flags).
Jia Liu thought that the flag-raising matter had already entered into the process, and these people were responsible for distributing the "subsidy" for the flag-raising, but he soon learned that he was wrong.
The group of people behind the long table were colleagues with him in his previous life - they were dedicated to explaining the above policies to the masses.
A bunch of yamen workers are very polite to the visiting people. No matter who raises any questions, they listen patiently, and then carefully record them in the book. Then they tell people that they attach great importance to the questions they raised, and they will report them to the superiors for study later, and then they are polite.
Please go back and wait for news.
If the other party is anxious and refuses to reply, and still wants to see the manager here, then reply that the adults will be very busy at this time, and it is not your family's business. Even if they report it to you, there still needs to be someone.
It will take three to five days to get accurate news.
In his words, he did not forget to imply that this matter must be treated as a top priority, and it will definitely be effective. Don't be stupid here, just go back and wait for the letter.
You can make a fortune in silence, don’t you understand?
You are really ignorant and you are messing around here. If you are finished, the higher-ups will treat you as a model, and it will not be worth it.
It was a very intimate scene.
Jia Liu had deep respect for these colleagues who worked together hundreds of years ago, because he knew that it was not easy to do mass work, but he also knew that the Dutong Yamen was just fooling people.
Why?
Because none of the Manchu and Mongolian "leaders" who have the power to make decisions have come out, and the fact that they are just helping the low-level Han army who don't mean what they say is here shows the problem.
As early as the Kangxi period, in order to prevent the Han army's banners from growing larger, Kangxi stipulated that those who participated in the eight banners of the Han army and had more than one vacancy would be transferred from Manchuria and Mongolia.
This means that except for the official positions below the rank and file of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, the bannermen of the Han Army will hold them, and the truly powerful official positions above them will all be held by the Manchu and Mongolian bannermen.
The current Commander-in-Chief of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army is still a celebrity. He was Qianlong's favored minister Hai Lancha who participated in the Pingzhun War twice, the Qing-Burma War, and the Jinchuan and Jinchuan Wars.
Unlike Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, where the Commander-in-Chief of the Eight Banners of the Han Army was appointed full-time, the Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Eight Banners of the Han Army were concurrently appointed. Therefore, in addition to serving as the Commander-in-Chief of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, Hailancha was also the Commander-in-Chief of the Mongolian Flag of the Zhenghong Banner.
He is also the counselor and the minister of bodyguards.
With so many officials added together, in Jia Liu's eyes, he was a deputy state-level person.
This kind of existence, let alone a group of ordinary bannermen who were about to be driven out of the city to become Han people, was something that even Jia Daquan, the hereditary Yunqi Lieutenant, did not want to see.
Therefore, Jia Liu was going to ask the people who were dealing with the situation first, whether his Jia family was on the flag list or not, so that his father, Jia Daquan, would not make a mistake for a long time.
Just when he was about to come forward to consult on the Jia family's issues, his father Jia Daquan became very angry.
"Who, surnamed Zhao, put my Jia family on the list of those who will be released from the flag? Don't you know that my Jia family is the queen of meritorious officials! You are driving the queen of meritorious officials out of the flag, be careful to give birth to a son without an asshole!...This matter
If you don’t give me an explanation, I will file a lawsuit and tell you to go to hell!..."
Jia Daquan's hot temper and his son's failure to learn well were famous among the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army.
Zhao Guodong is the chief of the household registration office. This is a seventh-grade official position. It was a newly created official during the restructuring of the Dutong Yamen in the seventh year of Qianlong's reign. He is specifically responsible for the household registration of each banner.
Zhao Guodong knew Jia Daquan because they lived together, and he knew the situation of the Jia family even more. He stood up and said with a smile: "Daquan, don't be anxious, just listen to me..."
But Jia Daquan didn't give them a chance to speak, and shouted: "Listen, listen, listen to your grandma, you guys are not doing this secretly. How come my Jia family is on the list!"
"Daquan, this matter..."
Zhao Guodong hesitated for a moment and was about to go to the side to whisper. When Raja Daquan came to the side to whisper, a penman from the salary room next to him said unhappily: "Jia Daquan, don't bury people here. You are just a second minister."
If you don’t raise the flag, who will raise the flag?”
"What? Erchen!"
Jia Daquan was so angry when he said these words, he slapped the hereditary Yunqiwei sign in his hand on the table and yelled: "How dare you say that my Jia family is the second minister?
I think you are tired of living!"
"Keep your mouth clean, I didn't say these words!"
I don't know which family the boy came from. The young man didn't understand the ways of the world, so he looked at Jia Daquan in a daze.
Jia Daquan pointed at the post angrily: "You are not talking about that bastard!"
"Daquan, I have something to say,"
Zhao Guodong's face twitched, and he reached out to ask for Raja Daquan, and gave the young man a wink to stop talking, but the young man was just watching the excitement and was not afraid of the trouble, and actually shouted back to Jia Daquan: "
That’s what Long Live Lord said.”
As soon as these words came out, before Jia Daquan could react, the good son Jia Liu beside him couldn't help but trembled in his heart: It turned out to be Qianlong, that bastard.
