Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, and the mouse's son can dig holes.
Can the descendants of Mang Gurtai, the traitor of the Qing Dynasty, have a good life?
Jia Liu basically believed that Andershan was dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners, and even Aisin Gioro, even if he shed Aisin Gioro's blood.
He must wake up to himself and must not be used by a small group of anti-Qing remnants in the clan to do anything that is unworthy of the Qing Dynasty.
In view of this, Jia Liu re-examined Andershan's qualifications to compete for the hat king.
"Andershan, do you have any complaints against my Eight Banners disciples?"
"Do you have any objection to our Qing ancestral system?"
"Do you want to completely overthrow the great empire that Taizu Taizong established for our banner people?"
"Hmph, what do you mean by selling Flag Field to the Han people? Bastard, you clearly want to subvert the foundation of our Qing Dynasty and achieve your own ulterior motives!"
"Tell me, have you taken in the outsiders? Are you in contact with the rebels and are you trying to protect them?"
A series of questions showed how much Jia Liu liked Andershan.
There are many Manchu and Mongolian members in the Gongjin Association, and those people were basically forced to join the Gongjin Association. That is to say, they fell deeper and deeper under the various improper operations of Mr. Jia, and then embarked on the path of forced progress.
Such as Bo Qing'e, Haikang, Qingyao, etc.
But this Andalshan, a descendant of Aisin Gioro, wanted to take the initiative to poach the Qing Dynasty. This was really the first time I had seen him.
Although this guy's starting point is for the good of the Qing Dynasty, but according to his thinking, the result is, hum.
It is difficult to displease people.
When he heard that his prince-in-law actually said that he wanted to oppose the Qing Dynasty and overthrow the country of Aisin Gioro, Andershan was shocked and quickly complained, saying that what he said was indeed for the good of the Qing Dynasty and came from the bottom of his heart.
I hope that the Qing Dynasty can realize self-reform, cut off the diseased carrion, and achieve a virtuous cycle in the body. How can it become a collusion with the rebels?
"Why did my brother from the Eight Banners offend you to make you say such useless things!"
Jia Liu snorted, Andershan's words scolded him too, after all, he was now an authentic old man.
"Sir, there are many bastards among our bannermen. This is a fact that everyone knows!"
Andershan looked like he hated him for not arguing, "Sir, tell me, what do we banner people know? What can we do? We are all confused and confused. We only know how to eat and drink. We have long been unable to contribute to the country. We only know how to follow."
The imperial court wants money, and if we don’t straighten things out, the Qing Dynasty will be dragged down by these incompetent bannermen!"
The fact is such a fact. How could Jia Liujiu not know that the bannermen are useless in the army? Nowadays, all major and major wars rely on Sauron outside the pass, and the native Eight Banners soldiers are just bluffing.
As for expenditure, millions of bannermen would eat up one-third of the fiscal revenue a year. If this continued, it would drag the Qing Dynasty to death.
To put it bluntly, if the foreigners had not helped the Qing Dynasty build customs and the Qing Dynasty's fiscal funds not only did not decrease, but increased year by year, the Wuchang Uprising would have succeeded decades earlier.
Without foreigners, the Qing Dynasty's own annual income was about 40 million taels of silver. With foreigners, the fiscal revenue in the years before the fall of the Qing Dynasty was nearly 300 million taels of silver. You think this is a big deal.
No wonder Lafayette wanted to please the great powers, and the great powers helped the Qing Dynasty increase its fiscal revenue tenfold.
If it weren't for the unstoppable rise of the Han people, Jia Liu would probably have had braids in his previous life.
In essence, it is still the crushing of agricultural society by industrial society.
Jia Liu is now taking the path of industrial society.
Generally speaking, Jia Liu would reason with others when they reasoned with him. It was impossible for him to talk to others about policies or act like a hooligan.
Therefore, his anger faded slightly and he said in a deep voice: "In your opinion, how can we solve this shortcoming?"
Andershan noticed that the young governor in front of him used the word "disadvantages" and said hurriedly: "In my opinion, the first is to make the flag fields freely trade and cut off the dependence of the banner people; the second is to reduce the salaries of the Eight Banners' disciples.
Ease the pressure on treasury expenditures; third, allow bannermen to engage in all walks of life."
He made five suggestions in a row, all of which were effective suggestions against the current Eight Banners' bad policies.
Prior to this, the Qing government actually had a profound understanding of this issue.
Qianlong himself knew clearly that the Eight Banners could not be used, but the reform plan he chose was to expel hundreds of thousands of Han bannermen from the banner, rather than making major reforms to the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners.
It seems that as long as the bannermen of the Han army are driven away, the bannermen will achieve a virtuous cycle of their own ecology.
Of course, this is also related to the overwhelming opposition from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia. After all, who is used to living a good life, who wants to go back to the past.
In addition to the five suggestions, I don’t want Andershan to have further knowledge.
He actually said that the Han people could not afford to offend.
"To deal with the Han people, we can no longer keep a tight watch on them and launch prisons as before. Instead, we must pacify them, reform some of the harsh policies of the past, and give Han people great use, or even act alone. Only by uniting the Han people can we stay safe.
, Manchus and Han people can no longer be so clearly distinguished, otherwise there will always be cognitive differences between the Manchus and the Han people, which will definitely be taken advantage of by those who are interested."
In the end, Andershan even said that even Manchu City should be gradually abolished and the past policy of segregation between Manchus and Hans should be completely abandoned.
"The reform of the Eight Banners starts with you!"
Jia Liu was already extremely moved when he heard this, because the Andershan in front of him reminded him of a person - Sushun, a powerful minister in the Xianfeng period.
As a descendant of Aisin Gioro, Sushun's policy was to unite with the Han Dynasty to protect the Manchus. To this end, he did not hesitate to offend the Manchus, carried out reforms, and abolished the Iron Crop of the Eight Banners. What he did was roughly the same as what Andershan said.
Unfortunately, it didn't end well in the end.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading! Yes, the shortcomings of our Eight Banners have long been revealed, but the court has repeatedly been unable to give strong medicine to cure them. All the princes in the court and the Eight Banners are in a state of intoxication, unaware of the imminent disaster. In this autumn of national crisis, I am the only one.
Only when people of insight work together can we turn the tide. Having you in the Qing Dynasty is truly a blessing to our ancestors and to hundreds of millions of people."
Jia Liu was very excited, not wanting to find a reformer in the Qianlong Dynasty, a rare talent among Aisin Gioro!
If there was no chance for the Eight Banners to reform themselves before, now, there is.
First of all, Qianlong is finished, and the old guy can no longer speak out.
Secondly, the anti-Qing revolution was in full swing, and this powerful external factor was bound to promote the internal reform of the Eight Banners.
Add to this the fact that I am adding fuel to the flames, a few hat king spokesmen are acting as vanguards, the senior members of the Progressive Association, and the governors of the Mutual Aid Association are all working at the same time. Maybe I can really sweep the Eight Banners into the garbage without spending a single soldier.
Even if it cannot, it can still plunge the Qing court into a dispute between reform and conservatism.
The advantage lies with Jafar.
When I was happy, I decided to praise Andershan, a rare enlightened and pragmatic ideological reformer in the Qing Dynasty, and to promote him to the ranks of hat kings at all costs.
At that moment, he readily approved a quota of 500,000 yuan for Andershan, just to tell him that he had accepted the order because the Qing Dynasty needed a great reform!
