Whether to allow the situation to escalate, or to quickly suppress it to minimize the harm, as a minister, you still know the stakes.
There were tens of thousands of clan members and idlers from the Eight Banners gathered at the scene. Whether it was the Sixth Army of Japanese Japs going on a killing spree or tens of thousands of people rioting, it would cause the most tragic disaster since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
Maybe it will be the second ominous incident in the city!
The most urgent task is to suppress the situation. No more shots will be fired, no more deaths, and the loss and impact will be minimized.
In the final analysis, it was the Aisin Gioro children who caused the trouble, and these people were the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. Force should never be used unless absolutely necessary.
What is the last resort?
Zhong Yin, Fu Ming'an, and Niulun Bao didn't say anything, but all three of them had an answer in their hearts, which was nothing more than "Heaven is dead, and Huang Tian is here to stand."
Finally, under the persuasion of the Imperial Minister Zhong Yin, the Interior Minister Niulunbao no longer hesitated and quickly ordered the Baoyi Battalion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs under his control to block Deshengmen and its surrounding traffic arteries, and no entry or exit was allowed, but he was strictly ordered not to use force.
At the same time, the military aircraft department was notified of the matter.
On the other side, Ursi Balan, who was in charge of Minister Luan Yiwei and the Presidential Minister of the Zhengbai Banner Guards, immediately ordered the Zhengbai Banner Guards to block Andingmen, Huqiang, and Shanpu Second Battalion after receiving the military order from his cousin.
The soldiers blocked Xizhimen.
His quick and decisive response is very much like his cousin's style.
Prince An, who originally advocated appeasement, heard that his cousin had been injured in an attack and that his second son had led troops to the Anding Gate. He did not say anything, but only asked someone to bring a message to his second son, asking "no bloodshed."
Obviously, Prince An did not want to fight with the clan members who were also descendants of Aisin Gioro.
After all, future attempts to depose Qianlong would require the consent of the majority of the clan.
If he acted excessively against the clan at this time, these people might not be willing to support him in deposing Qianlong in the future.
The news soon reached the military aircraft.
"The General Wang was attacked?"
The old man suspected that the news was not true. He didn't believe that someone like Guiziliu would call a gang to attack successfully. It looked like a trap no matter what.
If he had been so careless, he would have killed this kid long ago, so why would he be controlled by him today?
"This kid is so ruthless that he would even kill himself. Isn't it because he stabbed himself and put the blame on others?"
The old rich man couldn't help but whisper.
But the people who came from all over to report the news were very sure that it had a nose and eyes, which made people wonder whether the troublemaking clan members really did such a bold thing.
Openly attacking the General King is tantamount to rebellion!
Yuan Shoudong, the Minister of Military and Aircraft of the Han Dynasty, suspected that there was someone at the prince level controlling the matter behind the scenes. His purpose was to dissatisfy the Japanese army for becoming the general king of the Qing Dynasty, so he instigated the clan members to cause trouble in order to draw down the newly crowned general king.
Get off your horse.
This possibility is quite high. After all, there are many people in the clan who hate Guiziliu.
During the palace turmoil and ominous events throughout the city, quite a few clan members died directly or indirectly at the hands of Guiziliu.
This is the reason why most clans are willing to get close to Fu Zhongtang but not to Guiziliu.
"If there is really someone behind the scenes, then the court must punish them hard and never let the situation get worse."
Suolin, the Manchu military minister, believed that troops should be mobilized immediately to cooperate with General Wang to ping the chaos. Regardless of whether there is any conspiracy behind this matter, the mess must be cut quickly.
He also resolutely opposed appeasing the clan's children and withdrew the imperial order.
The reason is that the children of the clan can avoid going to war by causing trouble. Can the children of the Eight Banners imitate the same thing? Can the green flags also imitate it?
If everyone is afraid of death and unwilling to serve the country, can the Qing Dynasty be saved?
“In order to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home!”
Suo Lin suggested that a decree should be immediately stamped with the emperor's seal, and that the general Wang should have full authority to deal with this incident.
Yin Letu, the Minister of War who was most opposed to Guiziliu, also went against the norm and said: "The clan's participation in the expedition is a public decision between the court and the central government. Now that the decree has been issued, it must be resolutely implemented. Even if there are opponents, they will be taken as an excuse or submitted to the official envoy."
Si Daichuan, how could they secretly conspire without going through the imperial court, instigate the clan members to attack General Wang Xingyuan, and use their momentum to oppress the imperial court?
If this succeeds, everyone will learn from it in the future, and if they don’t agree with what they want, people will attack the government and the court. How will the country be governed, and how can the court be trusted?”
Changing orders in the morning and at night is the most taboo thing for politicians!
Considering the overall situation and maintaining the face of the court, the Minister of Defense agreed with Sorin's suggestion.
You just can't tolerate those incompetent clan members.
Yong Cang, who is the prince and will be crowned as the new king next year after receiving his father's Zen throne, also believes that the clan children are going too far this time. In the past, the country had nothing to support them and it was not a matter of eating, drinking and having fun. Now that the country is in trouble, these clan children should
He stood up unconditionally to respond to the country's call and actively quelled the chaos. How could he cause riots just because he was greedy for life and afraid of death?
Yong Cang became more and more angry as he spoke: "What happened today is really unheard of and extremely ridiculous. Things that have never happened before in the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties actually happened in this dynasty. Do those people want me to make the Qing Dynasty and let me Aisin Gioro become the mouthpiece of future generations?"
What a joke!"
The Crown Prince and the Crown Prince have said this, and as the godfather, the old rich man cannot object or question it, because this will reduce the Crown Prince's authority.
After much thought, Yuan Shoudong was asked to immediately draw up an edict, reprimanding the clan members in the name of the emperor for not wanting to serve the country, and telling them to disperse immediately. If they did not disperse, their crimes would be increased and they would be handed over to the clan government for punishment.
However, in order to give the clan a step down, the decree finally added a sentence to the effect that the imperial court knows your thoughts, but the country is indeed in danger at the moment. I hope that the Aisin Gioro children can understand the imperial court's difficulties, serve the country with all their heart, and do their best to serve the country.
The country of our ancestors is the most important thing, and the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is the most important thing. We must not sacrifice ourselves to protect our position, and be willing to degenerate.
That is to say, as long as the troublemaking clan members disperse voluntarily and actively respond to the conscription order, the court will not pursue the matter.
As for how to join the army in the future, we can actually talk about it.
It is good to let the clans start from the conquest, but if the clans are not willing to go, then we must consider the actual situation and make further detailed adjustments to the original policy.
The old rich man privately believed that it was okay for the clan members not to join the army, but they could mobilize their domestic slaves to join the army.
During the meeting of the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, when the imperial court was making every effort to quell the San Francisco Rebellion, Mongolia's Chahar King Burni took the opportunity to raise troops. There were no troops to send in the capital. At that time, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang mobilized the Baoyi Su from the princes and ministers' families.
Was it to lead an expedition to quell the Burni Rebellion?
After the decree was drawn up, the elders and the prince read it together, and then asked the emperor Dabao to seal it, and then sent it to Deshengmen to be read out by the imperial minister Zhong Yin.
Not long after the edict was sent, the Interior Minister Niulunbao sent an urgent report. He had led troops to block Desheng Gate and asked the Military Aircraft Department for any instructions. If there was no instruction, he would carry out the military orders of the General. After all, he was now nominally the General.
King of temperance.
The old wealthy envoy Zhang Jing went to Deshengmen to tell Niulunbao that his will should come first in everything.
