"This court is on guard against me, and is on guard against me life and death!" Yi Xin said sadly, "If they had listened to my instructions and allowed the cannons of the Xishan Camp to be stationed in the city, why would we have been so miserable last night?"
"Isn't it just poisonous fog? Isn't it just gunpowder? Isn't it just some special operations equipment? As long as the cannon fires, everything will be wiped out!"
"Then Xiao Letian dared to be so bold because he had accurate information about the defense of our capital!"
"Don't you know how to defeat ten guilds with one force? No matter how skilled he is, as long as we bombard him with artillery, there will be no battle situation that cannot be broken!"
"Although the French lost to the Germans, their research on military tactics is correct! Artillery is the king of war and can defeat all tricks!"
"But you just don't listen. The entire court is afraid that I, Yi Xin, will bombard the Forbidden City with cannons... What should I do to prove my loyalty to the court? What should I do?"
Guiziliu was really emotional. He hit the soft wall with his fist and tears fell down!
He was right, many things in the Qing Dynasty were ruined by the power struggle in the court! This Manchu entered the country with a small number of people and ruled the large number of Han people. He knew his shortcomings, so he paid special attention to the checks and balances of the imperial court!
For more than two hundred years, the Manchus spent nine percent of their efforts on how to balance the various forces in the court, and the remaining one percent was spent on governing the country!
This is really an unavoidable nightmare for minorities to rule the Central Plains. They always have a very deep and terrifying ghost in their hearts, which is the potential threat of the huge Han population!
There are really too many Han people, and they are also very smart. The huge population base will breed countless extremely smart people. These people are too difficult to fight. The Manchus have spent the past two hundred years trying to deal with this potential nightmare. All the hard work!
Not only did they have to be on guard against the Han people, they also had to guard against themselves. The Eight Banners system and the imperial power were inherently in conflict and competition with each other. The Manchu emperors of all dynasties all made suppressing the military power of the Eight Banners their first priority!
Under this background, how could the imperial court allow your Xishan Battalion to transport cannons to the inner city? Impossible, if you can put 1,800 ordinary soldiers in the army, you are already in power!
This is already the biggest concession the imperial court has made to your expansion of power!
But now, the bitter fruit of this check and balance has finally matured. Since the capital defenders defending the inner city seriously lack heavy firepower, they can only be passively beaten in the face of Chinese special operations!
This tragedy seems to be accidental, but in fact there are many inevitable factors in it!
Yi Xin's heartbreaking rebuke left Fifth Master speechless. He opened his mouth several times but closed it. "What's the use of talking about it now...it's too late to regret it!"
"Too late? Regret? Hahaha..." Yixin stared at Fifth Brother and sneered, "Do you really regret it? Fifth Brother, you are so used to being a hero that you have forgotten how dark people's hearts are, haven't you? "
"Where can outsiders come from without insiders? Without the seduction of insiders, how could Xiao Letian dare to kill people so unscrupulously? He still knows that the court will not go to war with him in the end, it is nothing more than loud thunder and small raindrops!"
Yi Pei's expression froze, "You...what do you mean? Who are you suspecting? Who is the mole..."
"Whoever benefits is the mole!" Yi Xin made it clear today that he wanted to pick out the window paper. He stood up and paced around the house impatiently!
"Fifth brother! Let me make it clear what I have to say today! Brother, I am indeed a bit of a clique for personal gain, and I do have a Sixth Master by my side..."
"Don't the officials below talk about this all the time? I admit it today. I just hooked up with many Eight Banners officials to get together to do a big thing!"
Hiss... Yi Pei took a breath and said as if he didn't know this brother, "You... what do you want to do? Don't be stupid!"
"Fifth Brother! I'm not stupid...I don't want to rebel and become the emperor! I don't have any intention of becoming Cao Cao...I just want us Eight Banners brothers to not starve to death!"
"My Fifth Brother! Our Eight Banners must survive! If our hard-core crops fail, do you know how many people will starve to death? So I want to unite the power of the Eight Banners and stay together to fight against this era of great changes that have not been seen in three thousand years! "
"Fifth brother, I know you are deliberately avoiding me... Are you afraid of getting involved with me, right? I don't want to implicate fifth brother. Brother, I just hope that fifth brother can be a rich prince and live a good life!"
"But it's no longer possible now. The end of our Eight Banners is right in front of us. We must take action!"
"At this moment, brother, I need your support, brother! We are the only three children left by our father! We are brothers! The orthodox Aisin Gioro bloodline!"
Fifth Master Yi Pei quickly waved his hand, "What are you talking about? It's too much, too much... You always think of me as my brother, I am usually generous, but in fact I am very timid..."
"It's not that Fifth Brother is asking you to rebel. What are you afraid of? What are you hiding from?" Yi Xin looked at the King of Heroes of the Capital. He knew that Fifth Brother had a very good reputation within the Eight Banners. This smell of green forest was too much for the idle men of the Eight Banners. Got it!
If the fifth master comes forward, all the bannermen of the capital will be convinced! If you can fight for it, your career will be very likely to be successful!
So today Yi Xin poured out all his ideas about setting up the Eight Banners Noble Council, and the fifth master Yi Pei's face turned pale after hearing this!
It's a different feeling to guess something, or to detect something, than to hear it directly face to face!
You don't have to express your stance if you guessed it or overheard it, but if you directly reveal your trump card face to face, there will be no room for you to dodge, so you have to express your stance in person!
Hearing the plan of the Eight Banners Noble Council, Yi Piao couldn't help but shook his head, "It's difficult... it's difficult! It's really difficult... My brother, can you make this work?"
"From the founding of our Qing Dynasty to the present, the struggle for power between the Eight Banners and the Emperor has never stopped. How many people have died? How many things have happened!"
"If you are going to accomplish this, you will directly divide the emperor's rights... That would be incredible. Isn't this the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China again?"
"Brother, I'm scared and don't dare to get involved. I also advise you not to think about it. This can't be done!"
"Fifth brother!" Yi Xin roared, "It's not a question of whether it can be done, but it must be done for the Eight Banners Centenary Plan! If this country lets Zaichun act like this, the world will be in chaos, and our country will not be saved. !”
"You...you! You still said you have no intention of replacing him? You are openly opposing His Majesty! Are you not going to rebel?"
Yi Pei stood up and turned around to leave. He really didn't dare to listen anymore, but before he could take a step, someone grabbed his sleeve firmly!
Turning around, Yi Pei jumped up in fright. It turned out that his sixth and seventh brothers... were all kneeling on the ground!
