618 Political wargames
"Zeng Guofan never had the same mind as the court, especially the court after the Xinyou coup, because the real power faction in Beijing is his enemies..." Xiao Letian hid in the study, surrounded by core officials, and cards were placed on the table.
This is not a foreign poker. The cards are all about the names and secret information of the great figures in the Qing Dynasty.
Cixi, Ci'an, Prince Gong, Prince Chun, Prince Qing... These Manchu nobles were not counted, but also the Qingliu Hanlins such as Weng Tonghe, Feng Fu, and Zhang Dengying.
Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guoquan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and others also made cards, including Qing Sanye, Mugeji, Ersu, Shishan and Shishui.
This is a weapon deduction for the government affairs. What they judged was the bloody battle of the great court three days later.
"You remember that the wooden board is hung with members of the Qing royal family, and the Qingliu Hanlin people are hung with this piece. This is the local governor and governor, and this is the foreign ambassador attending... By the way, let's set up a sign for the reformists of the Sanye."
"Very good, very good... The Manchu royal family, Qingliu leader, local governor, foreigners, and the Manchu Reformers. There are five forces in total. Let's see how many people can be won."
The political wargame deduction of Xiao Letian simply overturned all the common sense present. They didn't expect Xiao Letian to be so smart, and they actually thought of such an intuitive arrangement.
Xiao Letian would not tell them that this was learned from "House of Cards" in his previous life. American politicians would get the whiteboard fast and then write the names of the congressmen up. In order to win a majority, they had to go through countless such deductions to finally determine the winning rate.
"You all have a good idea. The ones hanging on this board are all local governors. Among them, the ones that are directed at us means that we can fight for us, and we will definitely support us at the court meeting. The ones that are deducted are those who are enemies of us. We should try to fight for it..."
"You see, Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guoquan are positive, because they will be in the same position as us, and Li Hongzhang is absolutely unable to fight for it, because we just killed many of his soldiers... As for Zuo Zongtang, we set it as a swinging faction, that is, we can try it, and at the least we can fight for a neutral attitude..."
"Why do you think that Marshal Zeng will definitely support us? Could he not be a loyal minister of the court?" Luo Huo didn't know much about the court's affairs and asked in confusion.
"Good question, Master San can explain this question to you..." Xiao Letian handed over the right to speak to Master Qing San.
The third master sighed and said, "This is about the Xinyou coup six years ago. The eight ministers of Gu ordered the two empress dowagers and two princes to work together to eliminate them. One of them was an important figure in the Aisin Gioro family, Sushun died tragically in the palace transformation..."
"Sushun was a member of the Inlaid Blue Banner, with a royal family, with a name named Yuting, the seventh generation grandson of Prince Zheng Xian Jierharang, and the son of Prince Zheng Shen Wuergonga. During the Daoguang period, he served as the former minister of the imperial court, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the position of co-organizer of the Grand Secretary. Later, he became a deep credit for Emperor Xianfeng and relied heavily on his brothers, Prince Zheng Duanhua and Prince Yi Zaiyuan, and was once honored."
"In July of the 11th year of Xianfeng, he was appointed as one of the eight ministers of the reign of his life, and in October of the same year he was dragged to Caishikou to behead him and was beheaded for public display. He was only forty-five years old when he died..."
"Sushun is really one of the few practical people in Manchus. In his hands, the 'Wuwu Case', the 'Ministry of Revenue Baochao Case', and the 'Ministry of Revenue', the corruption case of the Ministry of Revenue's Yinku' was tried clearly. Hundreds of corrupt officials were punished by law. At that time, the imperial court was shocked, which suppressed the public corruption and bribery in the officialdom to a certain extent."
"Not only that, Sushun attached great importance to Han ministers and recommended to the court high-ranking officials such as Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Hu Linyi, Guo Songtao, etc. Zuo Zongtang's lives were rescued by Sushun. It can be said that the entire Qing Dynasty's current Han ministers and officials who are now holding heavy troops were promoted by him. This connection is just like thinking about the people in the Forbidden City, they can't sleep at night."
Master Qing San said here and sighed, "It's a pity that his temper is so bad. Especially when he treats Manchus, he even looks down on him. There are countless Manchus who have been scolded by him, and they have also killed Qiying, Bai Wei and other officials of the Ministry of Revenue, and have formed many enemies..."
"During the Xinyou period, the only three officials who died among the eight ministers of Gushikou were killed by Caishikou, and the other two princes just committed suicide... When the execution of Caishikou, countless enemies slander Sushun, and even ignorant people beat him with bricks and garbage to the point of bruising and swollen face..."
"But even receiving such an insult, he knelt on the execution ground, facing death, and kept his head raising his head until his head was cut off by the executioner..."
The Third Master was a little overwhelmed. He was very close to the descendants of the Eight Ministers Gu Ming. The core strength of the Reformationists came from the legacy of the Eight Ministers.
"You can imagine that Zeng Guofan and his benefactor died so tragically. Could it be that there is no trace of grudge or hatred in their hearts?" Xiao Letian said with a sneer.
"There is one more thing you probably don't know. Sushun is really an alien among the people. In 1859, he negotiated with the Russian envoy Ignachev, denounced his aggression request, threw the text of the unsanctioned exchange of the Treaty of Aihui on the table, declaring that it was a piece of empty text and meaningless..."
"Look at it, Manren is hard, to be honest, I really admire him. If he had been governed by the Qing Dynasty, I think the court would not be what he is now. At least he knew that Chinese talents would not be so repulsive to Western learning. Unfortunately, Manren killed his talents by himself..."
The explanations of Xiao Letian and Qing Sanye finally made the people present understand the cruelty of political struggles. For the sake of rights, these people have no worries about killing people. Even if they are extinguished, it doesn’t matter. They only have the right in their hands, even if the flood is overwhelming after death.
As everyone was talking, there were fewer and fewer cards on the table, and the five wooden boards became messy, but people's grasp of the presidency became clearer.
Whoever is the enemy, who is the ally, and who is the backbone that can be won is hung clearly on the wooden board. Allies should contact each other and share the benefits together. The backbone should be willing to spend money and official positions to win over. As for the enemy, it is easy to deal with. Let the execution hall dig out the secrets behind them. Who hasn’t done a few scandals of bullying men and dominating women?
"The Han Governor has completed statistics. We can use at least 70% of the power, and this force is safe..."
"Foreign power is equally safe. The United States and Prussia have clearly supported us. The United Kingdom has also stated limited support. With their constraints, the French and Russians cannot make up the big waves. It is safe..."
"The Reformers are 100% safe, this is the Prime Minister's hardcore ally..."
"Where is Qingliu, how dangerous is it..." Master Qing San asked loudly.
"The safety of clearing stream is only 20%, which is the data achieved under the budget investment of 500,000 silver coins. It is just to buy them a neutral one."
"Let the execution hall take action... dig out the scandals of their ancestors for eight generations and threaten them. I don't believe they are all clean..."
"Yes, Prime Minister..." A group of people started to work hard again, analyzing their personalities next to each other on the wooden boards, comparing the information of the execution hall. Half an hour later, Xiao Hexin said.
"We can win at most 35% neutrality in the Qingliu force, and the rest are a group of old stubborn people."
Xiao Letian rubbed his temples and sighed, "It's not easy to win 35% of it. Then analyze the last royal family and see how much they can win."
A group of people began to check each name one by one again, but the more they checked, the more incredible the expressions on people's faces became. In the end, even Xiao Letian saw something abnormal.
"How could this happen? I can't believe it..." Wang Huaiyuan counted three times in a row before finally getting the result.
"We actually got a 50% neutral rate in the royal family. Half of these descendants of Aisin Gioro have reconciled with us. This is incredible..."
Everyone has questions, but everyone can't question every data. The Punishment Hall and the Reformers of Master Qing San have been desperately connecting in the past few months, and all the Qing royal family who can speak have come into contact with them.
The late Qing Dynasty royal family was no longer the same as when they were founded. Occasionally, a few outstanding talents such as Sushun were killed, and the rest were all men who were self-protection or extremely greedy.
Xiao Letian's Longxugou renovation plan has vacated hundreds of shops and thousands of houses, and Longxugou has introduced live water long ago, and the river channel is extremely clear.
There are thick willow trees and clean brick and stone pavement on both sides of the straits. The gutters hidden underground took away all the dirty water. The entire Longxue Groove suddenly turned from smelly and dirty to a high-end community in the capital, and even the housing prices increased tenfold.
These real estate properties are controlled by Xiao Letian. Whether you are a prince or a nobleman or a businessman, you have to honestly purchase real estate from Xiao Letian.
How could Xiao Letian give up this good opportunity to win people's hearts? Under his desperate publicity, the shops and courtyard houses became the private property of the nobles, and they were given their neutrality towards the great court meeting.
Money is indeed a powerful tool to defeat politics. When the Qing Dynasty nobles discovered that as long as they remain neutral, they could get a wealth of 100,000 or even millions in the future, they all chose to retreat.
"Isn't Xiao Letian not rebel? Since he promised not to rebel, that's enough. Life must continue to live. As long as the Qing Dynasty's banner does not fall, as long as the family comes in more and more money, who will be full and compete with Prime Minister Xiao of Donghai?"
"Don't forget that the current Beijing city is still under the control of the new army's bayonet."
An incredible scene finally appeared. Although it was clearly the Manchu royal family, under the temptation of Xiao Letian doing business together, he completely abandoned his previous persistence. Half of the royal family chose neutrality.
At this point, Xiao Letian's guide to the Great Dynasty was finally successfully defended the palace. After waiting three days, the Internet was closed, and the plan to transform the Qing Dynasty finally began to be implemented.
