    After hearing Yinsu's words, Baotai and Mububa couldn't help but look at each other. The old man was talking nonsense. It seemed that he had no knowledge of the matter in Xi'an beforehand. Needless to say, the matter in Xi'an was also  Zhenwu Qiankun is arbitrary. I really don¡¯t know what the Eight Banners will be like in the end by Zhenwu. If the banner property is allowed to be sold off, it will be sold out in a few years. How will the livelihood of the banner people be solved by then?

    Not to mention the future, after the incident in Xi'an came out, many banner people were already clamoring to sell their houses and land and other flag properties, especially those with children in the Tianjin military workshop, who had no worries and made the most violent noises.  , as the leader of the Zhenghong Banner, Mububa was very sad about this.

    After pondering for a moment, Mububa said: "Eighth Uncle, you also know that the imperial court has banned the sale of flag properties in recent years, but many bannermen still use various means to pawn them for a long time and sell them in disguise. Xi'an sells them openly like this  Flag property, there are bannermen in every banner clamoring to sell the flag property in their hands, explanations and guidance, how can they be worth the free money?"

    Prince Yu Baotai also said in a deep voice: "Bago, if we waste all the land and property, it will be even more difficult for us princes with empty buckets to speak. Besides, if this continues, there may be another big disaster."  Flag flight on a grand scale.¡±

    Yinhu nodded slightly, what Baotai said was extremely true. Without the flag land and flag property, it would not only be difficult to manage the banner people, but also the large-scale flag flight was definitely not alarmist.  After pondering for a while, he said: "Xi'an sells flag properties in order to build a camp and a military workshop outside the city.

    ¡°When this military workshop was built, wasn¡¯t it a flag property?  Isn¡¯t Tianjin¡¯s purple bamboo forest considered a flag product?  It's just a replacement. There is no need to make such a fuss. The matter should be explained clearly to the banner people. Those who do not listen to dissuasion and take the opportunity to make noise will be exiled to the Northeast.  "

    Replacement?  Hearing Yinsu's words, Baotai and Mububa couldn't help but be startled. How could they say that?  Yinsu actually didn't know what to do.  He vaguely felt that Zhenwu would definitely vigorously promote this model in Xi'an, but doing it too hastily would do more harm than good.  If the Fourteenth Brother arrives in Jiangning and immediately promotes this approach in Xi'an, there will be no room for maneuver, and the people of the capital will be in chaos.

    After pondering for a moment, Mububa said: "Uncle Eighth, now that the American feudal countries are in urgent need of expanding their manpower, Xi'an has established a new army of 30,000 imperial guards. Can you transfer Ding Zhuang of the Eight Banners stationed in Xi'an back to the capital? Otherwise, he will not be able to be transferred next year.  Send men to America.¡±

    Yinhu glanced at him and then said with a smile: "You only know one, but not the other. Although Xi'an has established a new army of 30,000 imperial guards, in fact, the capital has transferred 10,000 to garrison the Eight Banners, Green Camp and Eight Banners from Xi'an.  We must collect 10,000 of our disciples, and then recruit another 10,000 from outside. In this case, do you still want to send the elite Eight Banners disciples from Xi'an back to Beijing?"

    After a slight pause, he said: "Every banner is worried that after the garrison Eight Banners are released, they will be completely integrated into the local area and out of the control of each banner, right? Old Thirteen once mentioned to me"  As he spoke, he raised his face slightly and pondered for a moment before continuing: "When the Emperor was in the Navy, he once asked, if the European Navy flies the Eight Banners garrisoned in Guangzhou, will the people provide food, fresh water, etc. to the European Navy to make up for it? If so?  What would happen to the people if they fought with the Qing navy?"

    Baotai and Mububa have never thought about this kind of problem, and they have never experienced war in troubled times.  Hearing this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Yinhu didn't check their thoughts. He took a sip of tea and explained to himself: "The common people have nothing to do with the Eight Banners garrisoning in Guangzhou. Maybe they are a little uncomfortable at ordinary times."  It's a happy thing. The European navy is flying our eight flags, and the people either watch the excitement, or sell some grain and vegetables at high prices to make a few small bucks. No one will blame them, and they themselves feel at ease.

    But when the European navy and the Qing navy fought, the situation would be very different. Why?  Because most of the navy is made up of children from coastal provinces, with tens of thousands of people in the navy. Every coastal province, county, and even every clan has children in the navy. People do not dare and will not help the European navy because they have to think about their own children.  No one wants their children to die in battle.

    Do you understand now why the emperor wants to lift the constraints on the Eight Banners garrison, encourage the localization of the Eight Banners garrison, and encourage the marriage of Manchus and Han people garrisoning the Eight Banners?  Why should we face the surrounding provinces of Shaanxi and recruit new imperial guards regardless of the bannermen?  "

    Baotai and Mububa were stunned when they heard this. What if Zhenwu had this idea?  Doesn't that mean that it is imperative to lift the restrictions on the garrison of the Eight Banners, and all the cities in various places will be demolished and sold?

    "If this is really the case, wouldn't the Eight Banners cease to exist? Then we would still be the Qing Dynasty?" Baotai said thoughtfully.

    Yinsu smiled slightly and said: "This is my random guess. The Northwest War is about to happen. Xi'an is most likely just a special case. The emperor may only do this to important border towns. Now that the emperor has no edict, we don't need to worry or have wild thoughts. In short, the capital and the  Xi'an is different, the capital'sThe property cannot be sold, and everything will be decided after the emperor comes back.  "

    "The emperor has returned to Beijing?" Baotai asked quickly.

    "The Emperor may not return to Beijing in the short term." Yinhu said without concealment: "I think that each flag can truthfully reflect the situation in the flag, and your concerns can also be truthfully stated.  The emperor still obeys his advice."

    Follow the advice?  Can Zhenwu be considered a follower of advice?  Isn't this lying with open eyes? Mubba, who had seen Zhenwu's power, couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart.

    Zhenwu Yujia went against everyone's expectations and did not go south to Jiangning. Instead, he went straight back to the capital from Kaifeng.

    At the same time, Jiangning¡¯s ¡®Ning Bao¡¯ published an article: ¡®The Qian Ming Dynasty was destroyed by refugees.  ¡¯ article.  The article discusses in detail that since Zhengde, due to the high concentration of land and the concealment of taxes by large landowners, the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty gradually decreased. A large number of farmers who lost their land had no choice but to leave their hometowns and become refugees in order to avoid the pursuit of taxes, corvee, and land rent.

    After Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, refugees spread almost all over the country, with Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Shaanxi, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan, Hubei, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places the most serious. It was estimated that the total number of refugees nationwide at that time was about 8 million.  Accounting for more than 10% of the registered population, it has become a serious social problem. Once a natural disaster occurs, refugee riots sweep across the country, eventually ruining the Ming Dynasty.

    ¡°Following this article, the Ning Newspaper also published an article: ¡®The demise of the Qianming Dynasty was actually due to party struggle.  'This article lists in detail the disputes between the Donglin Party and the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang and other parties in the middle period of Wanli Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, and the three major cases of Tieqi, Hongwan, and Palace Relocation caused by it, as well as the middle and late periods of Emperor Xizong's Apocalypse and the Donglin Party in the Chongzhen Period of the Ming Dynasty.  The dispute between the Lin Party and the Eunuch Party.

    Just when everyone thought that this was Zhenwu's instruction from Ning Bao to deliberately guide public opinion in order to promote the idea of ??"divide a small portion of a living to a farmer's land" in Jiangnan, and the response was relatively lukewarm, Ning Bao got out of hand and published several articles one after another.  Articles that explore the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty have different styles and completely different writing styles. Some explain that the Ming Dynasty died due to the three major campaigns of Wanli, some explain that it died from natural disasters, the Ming Dynasty died from the power of eunuchs, and that it died from factory guards. There is even one article that explores the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.  Boldly pointed out that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by foreign invasion, and the target was the Manchu Jurchens.

    As soon as this article came out, the whole of Jiangning fell silent. All the officials, gentlemen and businessmen were quietly observing the court's reaction. Although the court had stated its stance as early as after the "Nanshan Collection" case in the Qing Dynasty, it would not be released after the "Nanshan Collection" case in the Qing Dynasty.  There is no literary prison, but it is the first time that he has so boldly criticized Manchuria publicly and written an article in 'Ning Bao', so everyone is naturally paying special attention to it.

    After waiting for a few days, there was no movement in Jiangning, and there was no movement in the capital. However, there was movement in the Beijing News at this time, and an article was published to refute the article.  We vigorously refuted taxation, official corruption and other aspects.

    From the beginning, the Beijing News published articles one after another to refute and demonstrate, and demonstrated the Beijing News's strong printing and organizational capabilities. It changed from a three-day issue to a daily publication, overwhelmingly criticizing the articles in the Ning News, and constantly  Propose new insights, such as overseas trade, the prosperity of Jiangnan's handicraft industry, causing food shortages in Jiangnan, etc.

    Seeing that such an attack on Manchuria did not cause any trouble, all the officials, gentry, and businessmen breathed a sigh of relief. The Jiangnan scholars immediately cheered up and began to fight back. The two major mouthpieces of the Beijing News and the Ning News reported for the first time.  This kicked off the great debate.

    Beijing News and Ning News are the two easiest tools to become famous these days. One good article is enough to make a person famous. He is famous in Beijing or Jiangnan. It is the first time for literati from the south and the north to taste the sweetness.  No matter they are officials, officials or scholars, no matter far or near, they all rack their brains to write articles and actively submit articles, hoping to become famous in one fell swoop.

    Yang Fan, a scholar from Jiangning County, who published "Ming Dynasty perished by foreigners" in the Ning Newspaper, is an example of becoming famous in one fell swoop. Because of this article, he was praised by Jiangning and even the entire Jiangnan scholars as "Yang Bold". Fame will naturally bring  Real money and silver income, no, Zhang Yuliang, a gentleman from Jiangning County, came to the door soon.

    Scholars were also well-known, and Yang Fan and Zhang Yuliang were quite familiar with each other. After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhang Yuliang made clear his intention, "My nephew is very courageous. I wonder if I can write another article to criticize the current practice of "tending into the mu".  ?¡±

    Yang Fan is actually the gunman of Ning Bao. Someone also deliberately asked him to write the article "Ming Dynasty was destroyed by foreigners". He was very proud of his instant fame, but his mind was not dizzy. He couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing these words.  He frowned, but in fact he was secretly happy. This was an opportunity to make a fortune, and it was a way to make a fortune. The risk could not be considered at all, because it was reviewed by the editor-in-chief of Ning Bao.

    After pondering for a moment, he said awkwardly: "Shibo, criticizing the new policy being implemented by the imperial court is not as simple as breaking a taboo."

      Zhang Yuliang simply said directly: "Ten taels of silver, and an additional one hundred taels will be added when the reward is received."
