Sun Shiyi was stared at by Qianlong, and cold sweat could not help but flow down his back.
What is the old emperor thinking?
In other words, what is he going to do?
Let him go to team training?
Are you still going to train with a regiment in charge of a province?
In the Qing Dynasty, except when they entered the Pass, which Han official could control so many troops?
Is this a test of Sun Shiyi's loyalty, or... Emperor Qianlong really wants to give up the south and leave it to a bunch of large and small regiments to delay Zhu Daohua?
Sun Shiyi was able to achieve the level of Han military aircraft.
Figuring out the meaning is his basic skill.
But this time.
He really couldn't figure it out.
Or....
In case you guess wrong.
That is the fate of death...
"Let's talk about it quickly. If we use local gentry as local officials, and give them the official positions of prefects and county magistrates according to the level of donations, and also appoint regiments and train envoys, use local gentry to train rural warriors, and the court gives them full power, will this inspire the local gentry to rise up? Defend the countryside and defend the Qing Dynasty."
Qianlong's words made cold sweat form on Sun Shiyi's forehead.
Reusing Hanchen to organize group training is already a big deal.
It's not just general reuse yet.
Instead, we must give full power and even allow local Han officials to serve as local officials. This will make it easier for the local officials below to collude with the powerful to establish a separatist regime!
Do it this way.
What is the difference between it and the Jiedushi who directly resurrected the late Tang Dynasty?
"Your Majesty, I think that if you give too much power, you may have troubles throughout your life and may become a disaster..."
Sun Shiyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
"Is the incident my fault or Zhu Daohua's fault?" Qianlong asked.
Sun Shiyi understood now.
Qianlong no longer had the confidence to defend the south of the Yangtze River.
There is even some desire to return to the north and sit in the north to deal with the White Lotus Sect.
But he was unwilling to just give up the southern provinces to him.
"Can Zhu Daohua give me this kind of power?"
Of course I can't give it...
Sun Shiyi thought.
"Your Majesty, this will only take a little time when Ni Ming takes over the southern provinces. After all, regiment training is not as good as Ni Ming's elite." Sun Shiyi said.
"Is there anyone from any government in Zhejiang who wants to be a local official in Zhejiang?"
"This... naturally exists."
Sun Shiyi hesitated for a moment and said.
Be an official.
Who wouldn’t want to?
The local wealthy landlords urge their children to study every day, don't they just want to become famous in the imperial examinations, get promoted and make a fortune.
Traditionally, no Chinese person wants to be an official.
Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is of high quality.
Why?
You can become an official because you study.
In the past, when people were killed to become officials, China was beating up the surrounding barbarians.
Later, the emperor felt that these officials who killed people and rose to the rank were useful, but they were too dangerous.
If you are not careful, you may be attacked and forced to give in.
Therefore, the upward channel of killing people was blocked.
Make a hole.
Driving all the elites to study.
Thus.
Even if you can't read it, you can't read it.
He can only be "a useless scholar".
It is difficult to pose any threat to the imperial power.
But what if all the elites of the Han people practiced killing people?
It cannot be reused by the emperor.
If Baoqi fails, these tough guys will start anew.
Now Qianlong suddenly released official positions in a province.
Those who flock to it are like crucian carp crossing the river...
"That's good. Normally, a county magistrate donates officials for 6,800 taels of silver. This time I sell all the officials in the county and return them to Quan Quan. Each county receives 30,000 taels of silver. The price is fair. ?”
Understood...
Sun Shiyi sighed in his heart.
Emperor Qianlong must have felt that Zhejiang, Hubei, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou could not be saved.
So I plan to sell all the officials in these provinces.
In the Qing Dynasty, buying and selling officials was a normal operation.
Talk about it.
This donation into officialdom was still the ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty.
This head was opened by Emperor Kangxi Kangmazi, the holy ancestor of the Qing Dynasty.
During the time of the San Francisco Rebellion.
The treasury is empty.
Kangxi issued an edict.
Those who meet the conditions can become low-level officials equivalent to county magistrates and prefectures through donations.
Of course, there are certain requirements for qualifying.
The first thing is to have a clean life, otherwise it would be a joke to sell this official position to Wu Sangui.
Secondly, there must be recommendations from serving officials.
That is to say, if one has a clean family background and is recommended by someone, he can honorably donate a sum of money to the Qing court, and then he can become an official of the Qing Dynasty serving the Qing emperor.
During the Kangxi Dynasty, the value of the official donations was not high, and most of them could only be donated to minor officials of the eighth or ninth rank.
During the Yongzheng Dynasty.
Buying and selling official positions has become more restrained.
Emperor Yongzheng was probably one of the most diligent emperors in history - probably second only to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Yongzheng left Qianlong with a very solid family background.
However, Qianlong was a spendthrift character.
He went down to the south of the Yangtze River to build gardens, but was also consumed by wars one after another.
Now.
The Qing Dynasty's treasury was no longer as strong as it was when Qianlong succeeded to the throne.
So in the middle and late Qianlong Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty began to gradually relax the scope of donations.
Civil servants can donate up to a doctor of the fifth rank in the capital and a Taoist priest of the fourth rank in the local government.
Military attachés ranging from the commander-in-chief to guerrillas can donate.
Even to the late Qianlong Dynasty.
This buying and selling of officials has formed a system.
The tributes and supervisors donated 9,600 taels to the doctors, 8,000 taels to the foreign ministers, 4,620 taels to the principals, 360 taels to the prison and military divisions of the Ministry of Punishment, and seven to the Manchus. Eight or nine grades of writing style, four hundred and eighty taels;
The tributes and supervisors donated 16,400 taels to Taoists, 13,200 taels to the magistrate, 12,000 taels to the salt transport department, 4,620 taels to the county magistrate, and the rest from Jiu Quality, not yet in circulation, only one hundred and eighty taels.
Therefore, selling one's official position to raise money was Qianlong's traditional performing arts.
But like now, to sell out the actual officials of one province... no, the actual officials of several provinces at once is really... too exaggerated.
However, if Qianlong can really sell it.
Zhejiang Province alone is estimated to have raised tens of millions of taels of silver.
Some of them were paid by local tycoons in Zhejiang to buy official positions.
"Sun Shiyi, you have a high reputation in Zhejiang. You are a leader of scholars and respond to every call. If you become the governor of Zhejiang, you will be able to summon 100,000 Zhejiang soldiers, mobilize the Zhejiang gentry to contribute money and effort, and use 100,000 Zhejiang soldiers to defend Zhejiang. Even if it cannot be defended, , Ni Ming has to think twice before attacking, right?"
Qianlong's calm words sounded like a thunderbolt from the blue to Sun Shiyi's ears.
He has a high reputation and is a leader of scholars. He responds to every call.
This is not a nice thing to say...
Sun Shiyi hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, how can I have such ability? I will never be able to take on this matter in Zhejiang."
"I said you can bear it if you can bear it." Qianlong waved his hand and said, "I am not afraid to tell you my heartfelt words. The southern provinces are about to fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Before that, I also We must find a way to raise enough military expenditures and expand the coat army. Only in this way can we destroy the religious bandits, repel the Ming Dynasty, and protect our Qing Dynasty!"
The ministers heard this.
They all quietly looked up at Qianlong, who had just woken up from a coma.
Agui almost burst into tears.
This glorious Qing Dynasty.
Now it has actually reached such a point.
If the south is not defended, the bandits will cause chaos.
The emperor had no choice but to implement this strategy, exchanging an official position in a province for tens of millions of silver as military expenses!
This is all for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the wealth of these Eight Banners disciples.
.........
"Your Majesty, do you really want to sell the whole south to Han landlords?"
After Sun Shiyi and others retreated.
The remaining Heshen, Helin, Fukangan and Agui were all important Manchu ministers.
After all, Fukang'an and Qianlong were still blood relatives.
So now that the ministers have left, Fukangan asked impatiently.
"In the Battle of Ganzhou, in just two or three days, a fortified city that had been in operation for more than half a year was defeated. With muskets, artillery, and even hand-to-hand combat, the Eight Banners and the coat army were all at a disadvantage." Qianlong said with a heavy tone. , "How can we continue to fight like this?"
If the bandits are not taught to cause chaos.
Qianlong would not make such a decision.
but now.
Qianlong indeed did not intend to tangle with the Ming army in the south.
"Yes, in this battle... the performance of the Baoyi Army and the Jianrui Battalion can be said to be brave, but Ni Ming's guns and artillery are sharp, and they use grenades in close combat to coordinate with the battle formation. Their morale is also high, and they fight bravely. Even if the army is brave, it will be difficult to face the enemy head-on. If it were not for the large number of cavalry in our army, the Ming army would not dare to pursue..."
Thinking of the battle in Ganzhou City.
Agui shook his head and said.
The Qing Dynasty took advantage of its most elite troops.
Although it is true that it caused the Ming army the largest casualties since the Ming and Qing wars.
But it is still obvious whether it can be beaten.
Artillery has a longer range and is more powerful.
The muskets of the Ming army were also sharper.
In close-range hand-to-hand combat, the Ming army was more brave than the Qing army - even from Agui's point of view, the bravery of the Baoyi Army and Jianrui Battalion, if they were used to deal with an army like the Green Battalion , one can equal ten, but when facing the Ming army, they were still defeated.
Equipment is inferior to people.
When bravery is not as good as human beings.
How else to fight?
"Ni Ming has 100,000 elite soldiers. After another round of military expansion, I am afraid there will be 150,000. And I heard... Ni Ming is building a railway from Nanxiong Prefecture to Nan'an Prefecture. Once the railway is completed, , transported by train, it is said that the logistical baggage of hundreds of thousands of troops can be transported here." Fukang'an said with emotion.
"Railway? Train?" Qianlong frowned.
He had heard of this too.
Although the intelligence system of the Qing Dynasty was poor, it was not even aware of the things being built with great fanfare in Guangdong.
"A train can pull hundreds of carriages of goods. Is this true or false?" Qianlong asked.
Everyone looked at each other, no one had seen this before.
Qianlong sighed.
He is not the kind of emperor who knew nothing about Western technological advances.
At least compared to the old fool Daoguang, his grandson in later generations.
Qianlong was not a fool, but a shrewd one.
But now, he had to admit it.
He strictly guarded his efforts to prevent the Han people from acquiring technologies that could pose a huge threat to the rule of the Qing court.
has failed.
Efforts to hold the South also failed.
Now Qianlong has calmed down his mentality.
Think of yourself as a loser.
Since you are a loser.
Then you have to take stock of the chips you have again and wait for the next time you go to the poker table.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads. The website has not updated the latest chapter content, but the Xingxing Reading APP has updated the latest chapter content.
He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
