Huang Zongxi was able to write "Records of Visits to the Ming Yi", so of course he could understand the thoughts of the Qing emperors.
Including Dorgon, Shunzhi, and Kangxi, they all placed themselves in the position of "one man" and put the interests of the Aisin Gioro family above the interests of the world, even the interests of the Manchus.
What they were worried about was not only the Han people below, but also the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers who helped them conquer the world. Otherwise, why would they trap the heavenly soldiers in Beijing? Why not allocate the enclosed land to them for their own management? When they were outside the customs, the Eight Banners soldiers did not all have their own farms. When they were not serving in the army, they ran farms in their own homes.
Doesn’t this method of integrating soldiers with farmers also produce elite soldiers who are invincible in the world? It’s a good system, why should we reform it?
Why are the Eight Banners soldiers imprisoned in the "Second Ring Road" of Beijing? What do Dorgon and Shunzhi want?
Could it be that the soldiers raised in Beijing's "Second Ring Road" are particularly good at fighting? That's not the case at all. If there were elite soldiers and warriors "within the second ring", the Qing Dynasty would have been gone long ago. Most of Emperor Chongzhen's Jinyi soldiers live "within the second ring road", and they are useless.
But Dorgon and Shunzhi decided to do this!
What for? Aren't you worried?
The Han people are not at ease, and the bannermen are not at ease either... If they keep their troops outside, they will easily be controlled by the princes. If the soldiers are kept in Beijing, they will have no means to support themselves. They will have to rely on the imperial court for food and clothing. Of course, they will feel more at ease.
In fact, Dorgon and Shunzhi regarded the Eight Banners soldiers as their military slaves and wanted them to be slaves for generations to come. Even if they knew that it would be difficult for such slave soldiers to maintain combat effectiveness and even the population to maintain growth, they would still carry out the plan resolutely.
In addition, because Dorgon and Shunzhi placed themselves in the position of the sole husband of the barbarians and Di, they turned the rise and fall of a country into the rise and fall of the world. This aroused fierce resistance from the Han people, so that the war has continued from the early years of Shunzhi to the present day. .
In order to subdue the resistance of the Han people in the southern coastal areas, the Dufu Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty even took the extreme measure of relocating the border along the coast, turning all the originally prosperous southeastern coastal areas into out-of-boundary wasteland. Perhaps the real purpose of this move was to It was to cut off the maritime economy of the southeastern Han people and prevent them from drawing wealth, knowledge and power from the sea.
However, this also greatly reduced the number of Han people from Guangdong and Guangxi who went to Nanyang to make a living. As a result, the population pressure of Guangdong and Guangxi could not be released, so they had to crazily involuntarily involuntarily roll in, and finally the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was rolled out...
"Mr. Lizhou," Emperor Kangxi asked with a pockmarked face, "if I want to be the king of China, is it still too late?"
Huang Zongxi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is a wise king. Don't you know whether it's too late or not? Your Majesty wants to be Wei Xiaowen, but Wu Sangui and Zhu Heji are both powerful enough to swallow thousands of miles!"
When Dorgon established the throne in Beijing, it was enough to become the king of China. If Shunzhi wanted to change his customs after taking charge, it would have been very difficult. However, the external environment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was relatively stable at that time. As long as Shunzhi could persuade the Eight Banners nobles to change with him, he could probably become the king of China.
But Kangxi is in trouble now!
Because now there are signs of clearing up the lost deer, and two Chinese kings who are comparable to Liu Yu have appeared.
When Emperor Wei Xiaowen encountered two Han monarchs like Liu Yu and fought him, his reforms would definitely not succeed, because he would be beaten to death before he could succeed!
In addition, in order to fight Wu Sangui and Zhu Heji, Kangxi was forced to open the slave gate, and the new slaves who joined the group came for the benefit of being slaves. Could Kangxi turn around and stop being a slave?
Emperor Kangxi's face showed a sorrowful expression of concern for the country and the people, "Mr. Lizhou, where do you think the road of the Qing Dynasty is?"
Huang Zongxi smiled and said: "The emperor should already know where the Daqing Road is, right? Otherwise, the emperor would not hold this Nanjing Heroes Association, nor would he turn Jiangning Mansion into Nanjing Yingtian Mansion..."
Kangxi nodded and looked at Huang Zongxi, "I want to be the king of China, but I must first defeat the third prince and third grandson of Zhu Ni who are about to invade Jiangnan! And to defeat these two rebels, I have to organize a new army, Purchase firearms and use sugar to refine new gunpowder.”
"Can sugar be used to refine gunpowder?" Huang Zongxi was stunned for a moment.
"Yes!" Kangxi became furious when he thought of this, "Wu and Zhu Erni relied on this to defeat the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers!"
When it comes to this matter, it is not entirely because of Wu Sangui and Zhu Heji's powerful sugar medicines, but also because of Kangxi's habit of guarding against Han Dynasties. Because he has always kept the secret of refining sugar medicine in the firearms camp of the coated servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to prevent the Han people from learning it and using it to deal with the Eight Banners soldiers...
But the problem is that the Han people who are preparing to fight the Eight Banners soldiers know how to make sugar medicine, and they are the ones who made this sugar medicine! valley
However, the Han army, Green Camp, and Baoyi who wanted to be the slaves of the Qing Dynasty did not know how to make sugar pills because of Kangxi's secrecy. As a result, their firepower was seriously insufficient... Who was Kangxi keeping secrets for?
Now that I think about it, it’s really stupid!
Kangxi sighed and said: "Mr. Lizhou, I told you clearly...I came to Jiangnan just for money and sugar. With these two things, I can train a new army." come out."
His tone suddenly became stern, "If I can't get what I want, don't blame me for being rude!"
"You're welcome?" Huang Zongxi snorted, "Want to rob again? Want to massacre again?" He shook his head, "Sure enough, it is better for the Yi and Di to have a king than to destroy the Chinese!"
You slapped me in the face again!
Kangxi's pockmarked face was really "beaten", but he still had to endure it!
As a last resort, he didn't want to tear off his disguise and unleash his troops to rob. And money is easy to grab, but sugar is not so easy to grab. People in Jiangnan didn't have much white sugar in their kitchens, so they had to go to rural areas where sugar was produced to find it. And in the process of robbery, it can easily cause a devastating blow to Zhejiang's sugar industry.
If Zhejiang's sugar industry was robbed by Kangxi himself, then if he wanted to develop sugar in the future, he would have to buy high-priced sugar from Guangdong and Fujian.
And because the military value of sugar has been discovered, this already expensive food has grown tremendously recently!
The wholesale price of a pound of "special white" in Nanjing market is more than 200 yuan!
Ordinary people can’t afford it!
If the sugar industry in Zhejiang is destroyed again, sugar will still rise... Will Zhu Heji and Zheng Jing be able to make a lot of money by then?
"Mr. Lizhou," Emperor Kangxi said with a pockmarked face, "I don't want to do that either! If you have any suggestions, just tell me."
Huang Zongxi suddenly sighed and asked Kangxi: "Has the emperor read "The Record of Visits to Ming Yi"?"
"Look!"
"What do you think?"
Kangxi said: "It's not even interesting!"
Huang Zongxi nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming, Yuan Jun, Yuan Chen, Yuan Fa... we still need a Yuan Confucian!
The king is a single husband, the ministers are slaves, and the law is an evil law to protect the single husband and slaves. But what did the Confucian scholars in the world do? Therefore, there must be an original Confucian to be considered complete. "
Huang Zongxi sighed: "It's a pity that I am not an original Confucian, and the gentry in Zhejiang and Jiangsu are not original Confucians. Even if there were some who were close to original Confucianism, they are gone now. I asked you to kill them all! I'm afraid of killing them!"
The gentry who are still lingering now are all shameless and cowardly people who lack martial virtue...including me! Therefore, money and sugar can still be negotiated, as long as the emperor is willing to hand over some power to the gentry below, so that they can continue to live shamelessly in this troubled world. "
"Mr. Lizhou, what exactly do you want to say?" Kangxi finally became interested.
Huang Zongxi smiled and said: "You can use the power to set up group training to exchange silver and sugar from the gentry who are far away from the must-defend areas... How about we discuss this matter at this Jiangnan Heroes Meeting?"
Emperor Kangxi sneered: "Okay, okay, what a way to quench thirst by drinking poison!"
Huang Zongxi said: "Put more sugar and the poisonous wine may not be bitter."
