Chapter 361 Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty cannot live without the children of the Eight Banners! (Please order and vote)
A half-worn carriage rolled rumbled through the streets where the red flags were gathered in the west of Sijiu City.
We turned to an inconspicuous alley.
The sky was getting dark. The coachman opened the curtain, and a middle-aged man with a white face and a short beard walked out. He was wearing a melon-skin cap and a green cloth gown. He was none other than Weng Xinchun's eldest son, Weng Tongyu.
My good brother Weng Tongshu.
Weng Xincun's eyes swept around, and finally landed on an ordinary, somewhat dilapidated wall-style small gate building. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, showing a wry smile.
This style of gatehouse is very common in Sijiu City. It is an ordinary gatehouse for the homes of ordinary Eight Banner disciples. Inside, there is usually an ordinary small courtyard, where a family of Eight Banner disciples live just waiting to die and looking like useless snacks. But this
The person living in this small gatehouse was a leader of the Qing Dynasty in the capital and a recognized master of Neo-Confucianism. He entered the study as a candidate for lecturer and went straight to the study to teach Xiaowu, the prince of the county, how to read.
Although Wo Ren is just an alternate minister now, at that time, because he was demoted to three levels because of the impeachment of the prince of Yeerqiang's hometown when he was serving as Assistant Minister of Yeerqiang, he was demoted to three levels.
Before Ye Erqiang became the assistant minister, Wo Ren had been the minister of Dali Temple. In the Qing Dynasty, Dali Temple was responsible for reviewing cases completed by the Ministry of Punishment and the Supervisory Office. This was not a Qingshui Yamen.
How many corrupt officials in the Qing Dynasty had to go to court every year in the Ministry of Punishment and the Inspectorate? How much oil and water had to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment and the Inspectorate? And after the adults in the Ministry of Punishment and the Inspectorate were corrupt and perverted the law, they all had to go through Dali.
Temple Minister, this level!
If Wo Ren is willing to collect money and do things, it wouldn't be called greed to make him thirty to fifty thousand taels a year.
But this man is an upright and incorrigible official!
He thinks he is a great scholar of Neo-Confucianism..\n.:.\n. He must be honest and sincere when doing errands, and he must exercise self-restraint and practice etiquette as an official. It is impossible to accept money, and errands must be done seriously and with heart.
So no one can give him any money. As long as he finds some fault with the cases submitted by the Ministry of Punishment and the Supervisory Office, he will definitely send them back for retrial. In those years, he really didn’t know how many adults were delayed in making a fortune!
Otherwise, why would his good minister of Dali Temple be sent to Yeerqiang?
However, Weng Xinchun, Weng Tongshu and his son knew very well how to deal with this inexperienced Neo-Confucian scholar.
That means not talking about money, but talking about reason!
In the Qing Dynasty, in the city of Beijing, cheering up the Eight Banners was the biggest "reason"!
Even if Wo Ren knew very well in his heart that this was impossible, he would definitely do it knowing that it was impossible to do.
Thinking that Wo Ren would soon be used as a weapon by his own father and son, Weng Tongshu smiled proudly, stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand, and knocked on the door of Wo Ren's house.
Old Summer Palace, Haiyan Hall.
"Your Majesty, this is the silver note that Luo Xueyan asked his slave to bring to Beijing for Concubine Xiao Jingyi...\n.\n:.\n.\nThere are thirty thousand silver dollars in total!"
Ronglu was sending money to Xianfeng at this time!
"Thirty thousand silver dollars? He's quite generous!"
Xianfeng raised his eyebrows slightly and waved to Andehai beside him. The latter immediately stepped forward, took the envelope handed over by Ronglu, and handed it to Emperor Xianfeng.
"This is HSBC...: OK?" Xianfeng took out the banknotes and looked at them, "Why isn't it called a bank?"
Ronglu smiled and said: "I also think this name is quite weird. It is said that Luo Xueyan came up with it to distinguish it from ordinary banks and ticket numbers."
"Difference? What is the difference?" Xianfeng asked.
"This bank is endorsed by the Nanyang Minister's Office, the Shanghai Governor's Office, Jianghai Customs Road, and Shanghai Ocean Bank. It has abundant capital and is the most reliable. It can also dominate the Shanghai Money Industry Guild and preside over inter-bank settlements...
...In short, it is more advanced than banks and bank accounts, and it is more reliable!"
Ronglu actually couldn't explain it clearly, and Xianfeng couldn't understand it either.
They still don't understand that the "HSBC Bank" created by Luo Xueyan is actually playing the role of the "Southeast Central Bank". And a "central bank" that can adjust interest rates, exchange rates, and also has certain rights to issue banknotes plays an important role in the development of capitalist industry and commerce.
The promotion effect cannot be overemphasized.
In today's world, there are probably only a few similar banks such as the Bank of England, the Bank of France, and the Bank of Russia.
Seeing Xianfeng put away the banknotes with a smile, Ronglu took out another box containing memorials and raised his hands: "Your Majesty, this is the memorial that Luo Xueyan asked your slave to bring."
The so-called zhezi is a secret zhezi, which is different from the title book that is published publicly. The zhezi is handed to the emperor directly, and no one else can read it first. Generally, it is sent to Qianqing by the official who submitted the zhezi himself or by someone entrusted by them.
Door,
Give it to the guard guarding the door and pass it inside.
"Bring it here and take a look."
Xianfeng waved to Andehai again, who immediately took the box, tore off the seal, took out the folded paper inside, and handed it to Xianfeng.
Xianfeng took the fold and unfolded it and read it for a while. His pockmarked face became calm, and then he snorted: "What does this Luo Xueyan mean? When did it become his turn for a Han official in the Qing Dynasty to complain about the injustice of the Eight Banners disciples?"
When Ronglu heard this, he didn't dare to talk anymore. He quickly pressed his forehead to the ground and was quiet, not daring to say a word.
And Emperor Xianfeng's face gradually became livid, his little eyes were squinted, and he was just staring at a few sentences on the brochure.\n.\n...\n.The general meaning of these sentences is: Horqin Mongolia didn't have any
Defending the Yuan Dynasty, how could he devote himself to the Qing Dynasty now? No matter how useless the children of the Eight Banners are, they are also the Qing's own people. The new army of the Qing Dynasty cannot do without the children of the Eight Banners!
Luoquan Hutong, Wengfu.
It was already dark, and in Weng Xincun's study, four people were sitting or standing.
Sitting next to Weng Xiancun was a man in his fifties, with a slim build, resolute eyes, and an upright face. He was wearing a cloth robe. He was none other than the leading figure of the Confucian school of thought today, Uzigri Woren.
Weng Xincun's two sons, Weng Tongshu and Weng Tong, stood by their father's side.
"Gen Feng, look at this...\n:
::" Weng Xincun looked at Wo Ren, with a doughy face that said "Hello, hello, hello, everyone", filled with a gentle, courteous and thrifty smile.
Wo Ren twirled his beard and looked at Weng Tong: "Shengfu, what do you think of Luo Xueyan's foreign affairs?"
"Well done!" Weng Tong said. "From my perspective, although Luo Xueyan is not a Confucian scholar, he is a person with great ambitions, who can put the development of the country first, who is upright and unstoppable in the face of difficulties. He can be called
Gentleman. Therefore, he can manage the foreign affairs well, block Changmao's offensive, and take back the concession from the foreigners!"
Wo Ren raised his eyebrows: "Oh, can a citizen who is engaged in foreign affairs also be called a gentleman?"
Weng Tong said sternly: "A citizen can resist Changmao, take back the concession from foreigners, and use Shanghai to raise 20,000 new troops and a Nanyang navy, so that neither Changmao nor the foreigners dare to
The Qing Dynasty even regained the Ryukyu vassal state and forced the Japanese to
Kou bowed his head and signed the contract...:::.Isn't this a gentleman? Although he doesn't know the principles of sincerity, self-restraint and propriety, how can he not act with integrity? Where can he not regain etiquette? There are so many Confucian gentlemen in the Qing Dynasty.
As an official, how many people can compare with you?"
Wo Ren smiled coldly: "But now he is separatist, obeying the instructions but not the announcement, just like a vassal town in the Tang Dynasty...\n
.Is there such a gentleman in the world?"
Weng Tong shook his head: "Lord Wa, Luo Xueyan is not like that. There is no southeast in the early morning! Although he is divided into one side and although he likes Westernization, he is still a minister of the Qing Dynasty, and he has also saved a lot of vitality for the Confucianism in the south of the Yangtze River.
Moreover, he is still loyal to the court and the emperor, otherwise he would not have proposed using the Eight Banners disciples to control Wanping's new army."
Woren asked calmly: "How many of the Eight Banners disciples are still capable of doing things?"
Weng Tong said solemnly: "If the people of Ling Dynasty can become the pillars of the Qing Dynasty in the southeast, why can't the children of the Eight Banners cheer up?
Moreover, nowadays, fighting no longer relies on proficiency with bows and horses, but only on the sharpness of foreign guns and cannons. It is not difficult at all! The same Confucian scholar learned to use foreign guns after living in Shanghai for two or three months, and his marksmanship was quite good.
The children of the Eight Banners in Beijing can't learn it in three months, but what about six months, nine months, or twelve months? How can they not learn it if they have hands and feet, are willing to work hard, and are willing to work hard? It is obvious that the children of the Eight Banners can
If they have learned it, why not let them learn it instead of relying on Horqin Mongolia?
Horqin Mongolia is an outer vassal Mongolia! Luo Xueyan is a vassal town, but Horqin Mongolia is not? Can the emperor hand over Beijing's new army to Luo Xueyan? Is this impossible? Then why can the county king of Horqin single-handedly control Beijing's new army?
