In order to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Prince Rui, the senior and middle-ranking generals of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion collectively went to war. In form, they were closely connected with the imperial court represented by Prince Rui, which fully demonstrated that the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion was the most trustworthy and powerful army in the Qing Dynasty.

New problems quickly emerged.

If the prince's braid is loyal, then the governor's braid is not loyal?

They have the same braids and the same ones are broken. Which one is more loyal than which one?

Also, the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp collectively pledged allegiance to Prince Rui. Is the next step to secretly drive back to Xi'an to capture Leerjin alive?

The answer comes from the new Shaanxi-Gansu Admiral Baoning.

"Your Majesty is loyal, but Leerjin is fake loyal!"

This sentence answers the first question.

Everyone unanimously approved.

"I obey the orders of Prince Wei Rui of Luying, Shaanxi and Gansu. I won't recognize anyone else even if I'm here!"

This sentence answers the second question.

The venue was filled with endless applause.

After the applause stopped, surprisingly, Prince Rui said that now was not the time to capture Le Erjin alive.

There are two reasons.

First, there is no official decree from the imperial court;

Secondly, for the purpose of curing illness and saving people, the prince wanted to give Lerjin a chance to turn around.

The private saying is: "As long as Lao Le has no intention of competing with me for the leading stick, we can still listen to his words, watch his actions, and give him a chance. After all, they helped us kill Fu Liang. There is no credit but also suffering."

labor."

"The prince tells us to be loyal to the court, so we will be loyal to the court; the prince tells us to be loyal to Leerjin, so we will be loyal to Leerjin! If the prince asks us to collaborate with the enemy, we will collaborate with the enemy; if the prince asks us to be traitors, then we will... eh?"

Cao Dahua received in advance the deputy director's advice on the main content of the meeting and what the prince expected from the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp, so he once again summarized everyone's doubts into one concise sentence.

"That's what it means, whoever is against it is for it!"

Baoning held his head high and looked around at his subordinates.

There is no objection of course.

The meeting ended successfully.

In addition to unifying the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp ideology, this Dangyang meeting also made two major personnel adjustments.

First, Baoning, the commander-in-chief of Shaan'an Town, succeeded Wang Deyong, who died of illness, as the admiral of Shaanxi-Gansu;

Second, Cao Dahua, deputy general of Xinghan Town, succeeded Baoning as the commander-in-chief of Shaan'an Town.

In addition, regarding the issue of rotational training of officers in the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp and specific personnel adjustments, we need to proceed in three steps and there is no need to rush.

After the meeting, Prince Rui arranged for the officials attending the meeting to have a meal.

He and Deputy Director Ji looked through the meeting minutes in detail.

I found something wrong with it.

It’s just that braids are a symbol of the Qing Dynasty, so just go with it?

You must know that in order to force the Han people to grow braids, they were slaughtered city after city.

As the old saying goes, "If you leave your head, don't leave your hair; if you leave your hair, don't leave your head." The braids that everyone in the Qing Dynasty has on the back of their heads are preserved for our descendants with the blood of tens of millions of Han people.

It is also proof of the martial ethics of our ancestors of the Qing Dynasty!

It’s only been a hundred years, why don’t we talk about national policy?

Forget about the martial virtues of our ancestors?

A man without a beard is an incomplete man. Is a Qing Dynasty still a Qing Dynasty without braids?

This is another thought-provoking philosophical question.

It involves politics, military, humanities, economics, ethics, family, reproduction, etc.

Systematic and complex.

If we don’t solve this problem, big problems will arise!

Jia Liu also realized this, so he asked this question to Lao Ji.

The reason is that Lao Jishu has read a lot, has a sharp mind, and has solid theoretical knowledge.

After Mr. Shuanzhu went to Yongping as the prefect and the Goutoufanjun division took charge of Zhili, Deputy Director Ji, who was forced to go to Liangshan, took over the roles of the two and acted as the only policy advisor to the general Wang.

"Actually, with the prince's current status and the unanimous support and support of the military and civilians, it doesn't matter whether he has braids or not, and whether he talks about national policy or not, it doesn't matter."

Deputy Director Ji frankly said that the prince now has control of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp, the ace army of the Qing Dynasty. There are also Huguang, Zhili, Sichuan and other troops. Let alone cut off the pigtails, even if the old four devils are cut off, there will be no one left.

Dare to say no.

Anyway, the emperor is the one who has strong soldiers and horses.

According to tradition, Deputy Director Ji still wants the prince to take the old-fashioned way of seizing power with armed force, rather than the current peaceful way of sneaking into the village and shooting without permission.

Because the former corrects the great light, the latter is a bit unpopular.

This is the limitation of thinking.

As a traditional bureaucrat, Deputy Director Ji does not regard the lives of the people as human lives.

As soon as the guns are fired and the flag of rebellion is raised, no matter how hard we control it, if tens of millions of people don't die for it, how can we call it an armed seizure of power?

Given the current reality that most of the country is still full of people, I am afraid that a civil war that will spread across the country is inevitable.

As for the prince, whether it is the beggar on the street or the girl in the alley, they are all his favorites and guests.

It is true that one less person will die and one person will live more.

The long-term interests of the country and the immediate interests of the people are always what Jia Liu attaches most importance to.

This is the pattern, the pattern that determines status.

"Sure enough, the capitulationists have been the most terrifying ones since ancient times."

As a superior, Jia Liu's eyes were focused on the big game of national chess, unlike Lao Ji who always stared at the Forbidden City.

I always think that getting on the Dragon Throne is victory, and I ignore everything except the Dragon Throne, including the lives of the people.

He believes that national policies still need to be talked about, but braids must also be done openly.

Because he planned to take advantage of the evil trend in Baoning and build the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp into the first braidless army in the country.

I still remember that after the Republic of China, Commander Zhang Xun and his soldiers went to Beijing to protect the restoration of the young emperor.

Then, there must be a braidless army coming to Beijing to help Prince Rui usurp the throne.

This is consistent with history.

Otherwise, it would be too boring.

If you want things to be interesting, you have to create a legitimate reason for getting rid of your braids.

At least, there must be an explanation to the court.

"explain?"

Deputy Director Ji thought you were such a shameless person to say this word.

explain?

Who the hell are you going to answer to?

Give it to yourself?

Photographed by Wangye Huwei, he still racked his brains to find answers to the problem from the history of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, as well as its development situation and current difficulties.

After a while, he patted his head: "Yes!"

Jia Liu was overjoyed and asked Lao Ji what good idea he had thought of.

Deputy Director Ji asked: "Your Majesty, did the Emperor's fourth devil cut off his braids during the national mourning?"

"Um?"

Jia Liu shook off the braid in his hand and said, "There is such a thing. There was a big turmoil because of this incident at that time. In the end, it was me who turned the tide and led the troops to save the situation. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty will not know how bad it will be."

After hearing this, Deputy Director Ji muttered three words in a low voice, raised his head and asked again: "Is the fourth devil a Han?"

"Don't ask questions knowingly."

Jia Liu pulled hard with both hands, and the soft braid immediately turned into a braid that could strangle someone.

Very hard.

"Yes Yes."

Deputy Director Ji quickly apologized and said what he meant.

It was the prince who used "Wuxiang Huguanglang Death Song" to incite the Eight Banners officers and soldiers who went south to fight back to the capital to defeat the evil Fourth Japs. So, in order to cooperate with this massive return home operation, is it necessary for an army to go north to Qinwang?
