Xiao Letian took a sip of wine and sighed, "Now you know why Britain, Prussia, Tsarist Russia, Austria...those countries have to fight Napoleon to the death, right?"
"In ancient Europe, most of the wars between countries were done at the last minute. The winner was decided and then a treaty was signed to divide the benefits!"
"Because everyone is actually a group of people, and they are all part of the aristocratic system that has lasted for thousands of years. There is me among you, and you among me. No one can do anything wrong..."
"For example, Britain will curb the power of European countries, but it will not think about completely destroying any country or king!"
"Because do you know when his dynasty will be extinct? At that time, your own child may become the king. What's the point of saying that you have completely ruined his kingdom now?"
"But now Napoleon suddenly appears. He has used a new trick to create something out of nothing! The traditional French aristocrats suddenly discovered that Napoleon can actually create an entire administrative system and military system on his own!"
"The direct descendants of the civilians in his hands can completely replace all the management positions in this empire!"
"Originally, those conservative nobles thought they could act according to the same old rules. No matter who becomes the emperor, there must be officials under him. To manage the people, experienced officials are still needed!"
"Now that Napoleon has become emperor, the important administrative and military positions below must still be given to the children of our traditional aristocrats!"
"This is their beautiful fantasy, but Napoleon shattered it! Get out of here, I have civilians in my hands. I have a large number of people who can completely replace you. In this way, I can rule this empire in one piece!"
"Don't call you an old-fashioned aristocrat...even the Holy See doesn't look down on me. I, Napoleon, ascend the throne as emperor, and I will crown myself!"
"That's right! Sissi, you should know very well that Napoleon's crown was not put on by the Pope, but was held by the Pope in his hands and Napoleon grabbed it and put it on his head!"
"This emperor was elected by the French people with their votes. It has nothing to do with your God!"
"So tyrannical! The traditional European aristocrats were completely dumbfounded. This man didn't play his cards according to the rules. That's why he formed the anti-French alliance that lasted many times!"
"Actually, it's the same in China... No matter how the dynasties change, the bureaucracy will always be Han scholars, the landlord class, Confucian scholars, and they all need to take the imperial examination..."
ah! Sissi exclaimed, "I understand! I understand... No wonder you rise so quickly and are so stable! Now you know the ropes at a glance!"
"Your Chinese race is completely made out of nothing. Just like Napoleon, you have created your own direct team. Even the talent selection mechanism is brand new!"
"You have your own Chinese code, which stipulates the aristocratic system of six nobility and eighteen ranks. These are all created by you. All nobles who enter this system later can only be you and will be the eternal loyalists of your Chinese family! "
"You build universities and a team of civil servants...you have enough intellectuals to use them to become civil servants. You don't have to go to Confucian schools to recruit, and you don't have to rely on imperial examinations. That's why the ancient intellectuals in the Qing Dynasty hate you so much!"
"What's more important is that you have your own military academy, and you have your own history of building an independent army... Your army is purely unincorporated from any other forces!"
"You just create something out of nothing, so this something is your unique monolithic piece... Hahaha, so your reforms will be successful!"
"Oh God! Because among your tens of millions of Chinese people, there are no opponents, because everyone is in the same boat and have the same interests and demands!"
Bang bang bang... Xiao Letian clapped his hands and laughed, "How smart! You are indeed a princess who grew up in a European aristocratic environment. Every little bit is transparent, every little bit is transparent!"
Sissi smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, you don't need to explain to me Emperor Tongzhi's problem anymore, I already know it completely..."
"Emperor Tongzhi learned from you. It is impossible for you not to teach him these principles. Which young emperor is not an iron-blooded reformer? Emperor Tongzhi will never give up an opportunity to become an iron-blooded dictator!"
"So... God... Emperor Tongzhi is going to abandon the entire Eight Banners, and he is going to create a new aristocratic group of his own?"
In the dark night, a cold wind suddenly blew in front of Taihe Gate without warning. The dust and leaves in the squares on both sides of Jinshui Bridge were blown up in the air by the whirlwind.
Zai Chun laughed as if he was possessed by a ghost, "That's right! I want to single-handedly destroy the Eight Banners system established by my ancestors. I want a brand new military group!"
"What ancestral family law? Bah...where was the Eight Banners system before our ancestor Nurhachi? The so-called ancestral family law is just the innovation of the reformers back then!"
"Our ancestor, the Emperor Tianming, established the Eight Banners just because of such a military system, which was the most effective and the most effective in combat at that time!"
"You can only use this system to enter the customs and occupy the Han people's beautiful country!"
"But after entering the customs, the excellent things of the past will eventually decline and decay! But although this system cannot be used anymore, it concerns the interests of countless people and the iron rice bowl of countless people!"
"So in order to protect their hard-core crops, they have to maintain this system. Even if the Qing Dynasty is dragged to death, they will not change it!"
"I! If you want to revive the Qing Dynasty, you must have the courage to break everything! After smashing the military system of the Eight Banners, I want a brand-new military system of my own!"
"I want to be like Napoleon and become a great emperor. I want to hold millions of strong troops in my hands, an army that is only loyal to me!"
"If this Eight Banners is not burned down! New forests will never grow!"
"So! I cannot be defeated! Absolutely cannot be defeated! The new army must win! The new army must win!"
Zai Chun danced and shouted in front of the Taihe Gate as if possessed by a demon. The eunuchs and guards around him were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word!
Princess Sissi drank three glasses of champagne before she could calm down. "Oh God! The Manchu Emperor wants to abolish the Eight Banners system? It's incredible..."
Xiao Letian poured wine for the princess, "No! You got it wrong. In fact, many Chinese people also got it wrong!"
"The Eight Banners are the Eight Banners, and the Manchus are the Manchus. Although they are related, they mostly go their own ways!"
"You have to remember that most of the Eight Banners are Manchus, but not all of them are Manchus. Only a small part of the Manchus are Eight Banners, and most of them are just Manchus!"
"It is not the Manchus that are harming China, but the Eight Banners system!"
"Too many people don't understand. What harms people is the Eight Banners system that does not focus on production and oppresses the people! The Eight Banners is not the name of a nation!"
"My Chinese people will also give Manchus a place in the future. Of course, it is an equal place, not a place that gives them privileges!"
"The Eight Banners system must die, but the Manchu nation should survive!"
