If the king doubts his ministers, he will punish them. If he doubts his ministers, he will rebel.

If the king doubts his ministers, he will punish them. If he doubts his ministers, he will rebel.

Qian Mo: "My mentor thinks that the "national integration and unification of China" proposed by this time can be accepted by the regent?"

(At this time, Shunzhi had not yet taken charge, and Dorgon was the emperor's uncle and regent, and he kept his word)

Hong Chengchou: "If you don't understand high theory, you should promote it as the national policy of our Qing Dynasty. In this way, the people's support will be better than hundreds of thousands of soldiers."

Qian Mo thought to himself: The traitors in the world naturally want to publicize this way so that you can collectively clean up your name. But your Manchu master may not be happy with it. Although this provides some legal basis for the Manchus to take over the Central Plains, it also means that the Manchus submit to Han culture.

In history, there is a saying about the integration of Manchu and Han Dynasties: "Ten obediences and ten disobediences":

Men follow women but do not: men shave their heads, braid their hair and wear full attire, while women still wear their hair in their original bun and wear hanfu.

Follow the rules in life and not in death: you must wear Manchu clothes when you are alive, but you can wear Hanfu after death.

Yang follows yin but not: Things in the yin world, such as performing Buddhist rituals and salvation, are still handled according to the traditional Buddhist and Taoist customs of the Han people, and do not follow the customs of the banner people.

Officials and subordinates do not obey: Officials must wear flower feathers on their crowns and wear the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, a coat with beads and horse hoof sleeves, but servants are still the costumes of the Ming Dynasty.

The old should obey the young but not the young: when children are young, there is no need for taboos, but once they reach adulthood, they must follow the rules of the Manchus.

Confucianism and Taoism do not follow: that is, lay people will surrender, while monks will not surrender. Lay people must change to the clothes of the bannermen, and shave their hair and leave braids. Monks remain unchanged and can still wear Ming Dynasty Han-style clothes.

Prostitutes therefore disobey actors: prostitutes wore the clothes required by the Qing court, while actors playing the role of ancient people were not restricted by clothing.

Officials do not comply with marriage: official management is based on the Qing Dynasty code, and marriage etiquette maintains the old Han system.

The country title did not follow the official title: the country title was changed from Ming to Qing, but the official titles of the Ming Dynasty continued to be the six ministries and nine ministers, governors and governors, etc.

The taxation of service and taxes is subject to the Manchu system. However, the writing and language do not change, and are still in Chinese.

Although certain Han customs were retained among the people, men and officials mainly followed the Manchu system, which shows that the Manchu rulers were very afraid of being assimilated into Han culture.

Qian Mo said: "With all due respect to the students, I am afraid that the regent will not agree; most of the nobles of the Eight Banners will also object!"

"Manchuria is a country with a small clan and a large empire. It is particularly afraid of being assimilated by our Han culture. The knowledgeable people in the court will not fail to see the harm of the "hair shaving order" to the current situation. However, the regent still insists on implementing it, fearing that the students' "Huaxia"

Even the Prince Regent would not accept it."

Qian Mo laughed secretly: I threw out this "On China" to cause conflict between the Manchu and Han Dynasties and make Dorgon more suspicious of Han officials. It would be better if it could cause conflict between the Manchu and Han Dynasties in the Qing court.

Since ancient times, the ruler and his ministers have not been suspicious, but suspicion will lead to chaos. Therefore, if the ruler is suspicious of the minister, he will be punished, and if the minister is suspicious of the emperor, he will rebel. If the minister is suspicious of the emperor and does not rebel, then the emperor will be suspicious and punish him; if the emperor is suspicious of the minister and does not punish him, then the minister will be punished.

If you doubt the king again, you will rebel.

(The most typical example is that Cao Cao and his son suspected Sima Yi of treason but refused to kill him. In the end, the Sima family rebelled and took over the world.)

Hong Chengchou was mature and cautious, so he would not have fallen into the trap.

But the temptation of "promoting the integration of the nation and the great righteousness of the whole world" is too great. The generals may not care that much. Who among the civil servants wants to be reviled for eternity after death? What can we say about the traitorous literati group headed by Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng?

They will definitely support it, just wait to muddy the water!

Hong Chengchou said at this time: "Unexpectedly, I don't know how to understand the situation in the temple very well. The regent may indeed object, but the emperor and the queen mother will definitely support it!"

Qian Mo said: "Teacher, in this case our 500W must be sent to the capital as soon as possible. In this way, the policy of "national integration and unification of China" will definitely be recognized by all parties."

Hong Chengchou smiled knowingly. With this donation of silver, and the situation in Jiangnan becoming more and more stable, he could handle the turmoil in the court. Qian Mo is a very well-behaved kid. If he really has no objections, he can be promoted and cultivated.

Not a bad idea.

At this time, the Manchu and Qing court in Beijing was also quite complicated. Not only were the Manchu nobles wary of the Han people, but the Liaodong Han people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the early days were also repelled by the Ming Dynasty Han people who later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The Han people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty were also divided according to region.

The "Southern Party" headed by Chen Mingxia and the "Northern Party" headed by Feng Quan restricted each other. Although Hong Chengchou himself had no intention of party struggle, as a Hanchen now holding power in the south, all forces were eyeing him. At this time, the "North and South"

Although the "Party Struggle" has not yet reached its climax, we have already seen some shadows of the "Donglin Party Struggle" in the Chongzhen Dynasty. Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou shook his head.

Originally, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was urgent, and Hong Chengchou planned to use the money to organize the army, pay and stabilize people's hearts, so as to annihilate the remaining forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. However, the imperial court was worried that his power would be too heavy and appointed a new governor to manage the two rivers. This substitution

Hong Chengchou would not be happy if someone else made the wedding dress.

Moreover, political demands were now above all else, and the money had to be transported to the capital. Immediately, people were ordered to prepare ships and escort troops and horses, and ordered the prefects of Yangzhou and Huai'an to arrange for the dredging of the canal and recruit trackers along the way.
