More and more bannermen are coming out of the alleys. Fifty people are coming out here, eighty people are coming out there, and even more than a hundred people are coming out of some larger alleys.
Soon Qianmen Street was crowded with 1,560 bannermen, and the number continued to increase!
The common people in the capital are already well-informed and highly sensitive to the current situation. One look at today's situation and they know that something is going to happen. As long as these shops are not closed, they might as well go to the door today!
The merchants have worked hard to close for the day, but they can't take the risk. Something is really going to happen. Han businessmen with their small arms and legs can't afford to offend these uncles!
The group of people came to the front door, and the soldiers guarding the city were frightened. "Hey, hey, hey... what... what is this? What are you guys doing?"
"Go away! Are you stopping us from entering the inner city? Does that royal law prohibit us from walking through the front door during the day?"
"Hey... this..." The officers and soldiers guarding the city thought so. During the day, anyone can walk through the front door if it is open, including traders and foot soldiers, not to mention these bannermen.
But you can just leave. Why are there so many people here all at once? He deliberately tried to stop him, but these people in front of him were all well-known and respectable people. They were all nobles with titles in the Eight Banners. No one dared to offend him!
After just a little hesitation, the bannermen's vanguard rushed to the Great Qing Gate!
"Ouch... Ladies and gentlemen, you may not be able to enter here..."
"Fart! Did you see what this is? This is a waist card, and I have an errand in the household department. If you dare to stop me... get out of here!"
The belt card was flashed in front of the guard guarding the gate, followed by a big slap in the face, which made the soldier spin around three times and said, "Hey, hey, hey... Why are you hitting someone like this!"
Today's Knock Luan operation was completely led by the middle-level nobles of the Eight Banners of the Capital. These middle-level nobles were the leaders of each banner, and many of them were also the prince's subordinates.
Most of these people are concentrated in the middle-level titles of Qingqi Captain, Cavalry Captain, Yunqi Lieutenant, Enqi Lieutenant... and the earls, viscounts and even dukes above them are those secretly planned by the court. Batch people!
These people basically formed the backbone of the Eight Banners aristocratic system in the Qing Dynasty. These people belonged to a class that was inherited from top to bottom. They could reach the sky from above and penetrate to the earth at the grassroots level.
Do you think they are all useless people who go to teahouses and drink flower wine on weekdays? But once someone organizes them, these people will burst out with power that makes even the emperor fearful!
The soldiers from the Daqing Sect simply didn't dare to stop them, or they couldn't stop them, because almost all of the vanguards who rushed to the door had errands to do, either from the Sixth Ministry or the Zongren Mansion, the Internal Affairs Mansion, and other yamen.
These people all have the credentials to pass the customs, so it is reasonable and legal for them to go through the Qing Dynasty!
At first, the few hundred people rushed in, and the crowd surged forward. Even if the bannermen behind them didn't have badges, you couldn't stop them.
Passing through the Qing Gate is the Qianbu Corridor, which is a familiar place for this group of people. On both sides of the Qianbu Corridor are offices of the Sixth Department. Countless fourth- and fifth-grade officials were shocked by this momentum. After being stunned, one by one walked out of the room and stared blankly.
With so many bannermen walking in front of the Jinshui Bridge, they didn't dare to rush in anymore. The cavalry of Guaizima patrolled back and forth regularly. When they saw so many people rushing in, they immediately formed a wall of war horses and pressed up from the left and right.
The new Yulin Army also began to gather urgently and formed an array in front of the Jinshui Bridge!
There is a restricted area behind the Jinshui Bridge. You can't get in without a Forbidden City badge!
Plop... Plop... One by one, the bannermen knelt on the long street, with expressions of constipation on their faces. Suddenly they began to howl and cry.
"Long live! Please give our Eight Banners a way to survive..."
"Long live my lord...the general manager of the 10th Route has been wronged...the bannermen have been wrongly accused..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The dark area was full of bannermen who knelt down from Tianjie all the way to the Qingmen Gate. People kept coming in from behind. Once they came in, they found a place to kneel down and kowtow.
Whatever the leader shouted, they followed suit. There was also an office of the Qing Post Office in the Qianbulang office area, and there were also reporters from the Qing Times stationed there. When they saw the news, they quickly took photos and recorded everything.
At this moment, in Meiwu of the Yangxin Palace, Zai Chun's face turned pale, and Prince Dun told the young emperor the news of the forced marriage.
"Your Majesty... I just received the news this morning. These people had hinted before, but I thought they were just joking. How could I have imagined that it was true!"
"I implore your Majesty to calm down. This case of the Tenth Route Commander has caused deep worries among the bannermen in the capital. They are afraid that the emperor will abandon them!"
"In the past few days, the nobles of the Eight Banners who gave me gifts all expressed the same sentiment... They believed that Guang Liang and others were at fault, and that their fault was in killing people, but this crime of corruption does not deserve death!"
"If the people of the banner are not greedy, the money will be stolen by the Han people. Your Majesty has cut off the money of the people of the banner. Do you want the Han people to make money?"
Hey...this is really the true thinking of people in that era. Zai Chun felt his heart drop after hearing these words!
Corruption is not terrible. The most terrible thing is that the culture of corruption is deeply rooted. From top to bottom, all people in the world believe that corruption is appropriate and right. This is the most terrible thing.
This was the case in the late Qing Dynasty. All officials, regardless of nation or country, actually believed that corruption was appropriate!
The Capital Iron Works has collected so much silver, so there must be a lot of silver residue that has been ground down during operation, and these residues should be shared among the officials!
The emperor killed all the bannermen, so why should the Han people make such money?
Why do these people fight so hard to protect Guang Liang and other tenth-route managers? Because this is their bottom line, what they want is to be able to share the dregs of money that you Zaichun spent ruling this empire!
If you don’t give it to me, who do you want to give it to? For the Han people or the Chinese? Or do you want to give it to foreign devils? For the British?
This is a life-and-death benefit, and it is the bottom line that cannot be retreated from. If the emperor's property is not allowed to be corrupted by the Manchus, then your emperor will abandon the family traditions of the Eight Banners ancestors!
Look, this is what the Banner people really thought at that time. From top to bottom, no Banner people changed their thinking mode!
"Can't we avoid corruption? Can't we let the Qing Dynasty's industry run cleanly?" Zai Chun's thoughts are still a little simple.
Fifth Master Yi Pei said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty! This is not the time to sit around and think about people's hearts... there is no time, you have to make a decision early!"
"I... just can't figure it out. Could it be that I punished the corrupt officials of the banner people just to make the Han people corrupt? What is the truth of this? How does this make sense?"
"Ouch... Your Majesty, please stop thinking about this. You should come up with an idea!"
Just when the uncle and nephew were hesitating, Er Mao suddenly ran in in a hurry, "Your Majesty... Something bad has happened... Thousands of bannermen gathered outside the Jinshui Bridge in Qianbu Corridor to kowtow!"
"They shouted slogans, begging Guang Liang and others to be released, and begging His Majesty to spare them!"
"Ah? Do they really dare to knock Luan? Bastards...how many of them are there?"
Er Mao wiped his sweat and said, "You are two thousand young, but they are still gathering here! Your Majesty, you have to make a decision quickly, whether to disperse or suppress?"
"Or...or stabilize them first?"
Zai Chun was shaking with anger. He pointed outside and said to Prince Dun, "Prince Dun, please go out and comfort them first, and try to persuade them to go home..."
"Even if I give them the answer, I can't give it to them today. No one can force me to make a decision!"
Prince Dun nodded, turned around and walked out!
Note: It’s Monday, brothers and sisters, please vote for recommendation! please!
