- Yin Cui couldn't help but feel frightened when he heard this. Could it be that Zhen Wu wanted to open a weaving workshop? There are tens of thousands of new navy and imperial guard troops. How big should this weaving workshop be? This impact is not small! However, he has no intention of worrying about this matter at the moment. After all, it will take a long time to build a workshop. The top priority is how to deal with the new policy.
Yinxiang was quite worried when he heard this. Is Zhenwu planning to replace all the new Imperial Guards and the Eight Banners Green Battalion with the navy's new military uniforms? That's just the navy. If the New Guards Army and the Eight Banners Green Battalion all wear new military uniforms, it will have a huge impact and damage to the Manchu flag uniforms.
After thinking for a moment, Yinxiang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that people in Shanghai, Tianjin and other places have begun to imitate the navy's new military uniforms. If the new guards of the capital and the Eight Banners Green Camp also follow suit, I am worried that it will It will cause great impact and damage to the existing flags."
Zhenwu glanced at Yinxiang in surprise. He had never thought that Lao Shisan would be so worried. Lao Shisan had followed him in Shanghai and Nanyang for several years. The pros and cons should be quite clear. It seems that the Eight Banners The prince was very concerned about shaving his hair and changing his uniform. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "You have been in the navy for a long time. What do you think is better between the existing Eight Banners battalion coats and the new navy uniforms?"
"Back to the Emperor, the navy's new military uniforms are simple and crisp in style. Not only do they have neat military appearance, but they also reflect the majesty and prowess of the soldiers. Naturally, they are better than those of the Eight Banners Green Camp." Yinxiang replied cautiously: "I am worried about the people. They imitated it widely and destroyed the decades-long practice of shaving their hair and changing clothes.¡±
Yinju also realized the importance of this issue at this time. He had also seen the new military uniforms of the navy. They looked powerful and straight, and they were simple to wear. It was really refreshing. If the people followed suit, it would be a big problem, and it would be even more disastrous. What I'm worried about is, will Zhenwu take this opportunity to change his costume to completely obliterate the Eight Banners? The navy's new military uniforms did not have any color distinction between yellow and yellow, white and white, but this question was taboo and he really didn't dare to ask.
"The new military uniforms and Eight Flags coats are both military uniforms. Military uniforms not only reflect the unique temperament and prowess of soldiers, but also symbolize national and military prestige. Of course, military uniforms must not only be simple, decent and generous, but also pay attention to practicality. Whether practical is a measure of The primary factor for Apple installation.¡±
Having said this, Zhenwu pondered for a moment. Since Lao Shisan had already mentioned shaving his hair and changing clothes, he was going to pave the way for his brothers. Not only would he change his clothes, but he would also change the braid he was so worried about. Also take advantage of the opportunity to change clothes and cut it off.
After pondering for a moment, he continued: "With the popularization of muskets and artillery, the existing Eight Banners coats of arms have been completely unable to meet the needs of the battlefield. Nowadays, there is no need to carry bows and arrows, long rifles and quivers, but replaced with muskets, gunpowder and lead bullets. Daggers and the like, military uniforms must change at any time according to the needs of the war and cannot remain static.
With the assembly of firearms, it is imperative that the new army of the Imperial Guard and the Green Battalion of the Eight Banners all be replaced with new military uniforms. This is considered from a practical point of view, not only the military uniforms, but also the braids on the head. I am also prepared to allow the navy and imperial guards to The new army has been cut off. Navy officers and soldiers have repeatedly reported that the braids are in the way. Not only are they not conducive to training in the water, but they are also very easy to get dirty. On long sea voyages, there is no extra fresh water for cleaning. The same is true for the new army of the Imperial Guard. Once they train for long distances or are The braids are quite a hindrance when running for an attack, and they are also very much in the way when musketry formations are firing or shelling. "
Yunzhun wants to cut off her braids! The expressions of Yinju, Yinxiang, Yinhui, and Gangdiao all changed. They just changed into new military uniforms and even cut off their braids. Are they still Manchus?
Manchu people attach great importance to braids. This is because Manchus believe in shamanism. According to shamanism, the hair on the top of the head is closest to the sky and is the place where the soul lives. It is very sacred. After decades of being in the customs, they do not realize it. They accepted the Han people's concept of filial piety and believed that hair was given by their parents and should not be destroyed. Only when their parents died would their hair be cut into short braids. If a Manchu died in battle, his bones could be buried elsewhere, but his braids had to be cut off and sent back. Home, the name and place of origin are tied to summon the soul for burial. This shows the importance of braids to the Manchu people.
Now Zhenwu actually proposed to allow the navy and the new imperial guards to cut their braids. This is really shocking. Yinju stood up and knelt down. Yinxiang and others also knelt down. "Your Majesty, when the Qing Dynasty enters the pass, it is necessary to shave their hair The change of clothes aroused strong resistance from the Han people, because the Han people have always emphasized that the body, hair and skin are inherited from the parents and cannot be damaged. Now that the world is peaceful, why bother to cause trouble? Han people account for more than half of the navy. Once the braids are shaved off, trouble will inevitably arise. I sincerely pray that the Emperor will think twice."
The Han people have had their braids for more than seventy years. If they shave their heads again, it will definitely cause great uneasiness. Lao Ba¡¯s worries are not unfounded. Zhenwu glanced at the four of them and then said in a deep voice: "I Will he repeat the same mistakes and cause turmoil in the world? It will cost everyone"
After the four people waiting for him sat down, he mused: "Filial piety is the first thing to do, and the heart does not matter the deeds."??In terms of deeds, there are no filial sons in a poor family, and all kinds of evil and adultery are combined. In terms of deeds, people are judged by their hearts. In terms of their hearts, there is no perfect person in the world. Although the Qing Dynasty governed the world with filial piety, it did not encourage pedantic filial piety.
Parents do not dare to damage the body, hair, and skin. This is the beginning of filial piety. This is purely absurd. When a woman gets married, her face is opened, her facial hair is trimmed, her eyebrows are trimmed, and a man's nails are cut, his nose hair is trimmed, and the old skin on the soles of his feet is bruised. These are not counted. Does it count as damaging the body, hair and skin?
I do not enforce the shaving of braids in the Navy and the New Guards. It is voluntary. You can cut it or leave it on. However, except for braids, long hair is not allowed in the army, and it must not exceed half an inch. "
After hearing these words, Yinju hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Royal Navy of the Qing Dynasty has won consecutive battles and has an excellent reputation among the people. Many of its soldiers come from the people. If the navy cuts off braids and keeps their hair short, the people will definitely follow suit. , In this way, wouldn¡¯t the decades-long results of shaving one¡¯s hair and changing clothes be ruined? I sincerely pray that the emperor will consider this carefully.¡±
After pondering for a moment, Zhenwucai said slowly: "When entering the customs, the order of shaving hair and making people easy to obey was implemented. In name, it was to differentiate between obedience and rebellion, but in reality it was to eliminate Han culture, eliminate the differences between Huayi and Huayi, and eliminate the antagonism and conflict between Han people. The sentiment of hatred was used to destroy the various senses of superiority of the Han people in order to consolidate the rule of the Qing Dynasty. What is the situation now that it has been more than seventy years since the Han people entered the customs?
We have not wiped out the culture of the Han people, but on the contrary, we have been assimilated by the Han people to a great extent. How many people can even speak and write Mandarin and Mandarin? Mounted archery has also been gradually replaced by firearms. Is this the case with the Manchu mounted archery advocated by the Eight Banners disciples, let alone other things? If things go on like this, we will be completely Chineseized!
How can this situation be reversed? Integration, integrating Western culture to form a brand new culture, can completely eliminate the differences between Manchu and Han. Only in this way can we completely change the danger of our Manchus being completely Sinicized, and eliminate the Manchus' use of less to control more. No matter how bad the situation is, the Qing Dynasty can be forever consolidated. "
Hearing these words, Yinju, Yinxiang, Yinhui, and Yinli couldn't help but look at each other. Zhenwu actually had this idea! This handwriting was too big. After a long silence, Yinju murmured: "Your Majesty, the Chinese culture has a long history, is profound and profound, and has a strong power of integration and assimilation. Even if Western culture is integrated, I am worried that It won¡¯t help, and sooner or later they will be assimilated into Chinese culture.¡±
"Otherwise." Zhenwu said firmly: "Western culture can be passed down for thousands of years, and naturally has a strong ability to survive. It is unlikely that it will be completely assimilated. As long as we guide it well, I am confident that it can be integrated into a brand new culture.
Nowadays, with the development of sea trade, exchanges between Western cultures will become more frequent, and collisions will ensue. Manchuria has risen too fast, its history is too short, and the foundation of Manchu culture is too shallow. None of them can be compared, which leads them to survive in narrow gaps. It is better to boldly integrate them.
I want the navy to conquer Europe, not only to check and balance Europe and have fair trade with Europe, but also to learn more about Europe and introduce Western culture to Europe for detailed study. "
Hearing these words, both Yinju and Yinxiang were shocked and speechless for a while. The fourteenth had already had this idea? Ever since he started leaving Beijing to create the Qing Ocean Fleet, he had been working towards this goal step by step? No wonder he wanted to send such a large envoy to follow the navy to Europe. This game of chess was too big.
Seeing that several people were speechless for a long time, Zhenwu said patiently: "When the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and implemented shaving their hair and changing clothes, they encountered extremely strong resistance. This shows how much the Han people attach great importance to their body, hair, skin and clothing. I allow the navy and imperial guards to change their clothes." The military cut their braids and kept their hair short, and forced them to wear new military uniforms, not only because of the need for long-distance voyages and actual combat, but also because they wanted to use this as a breakthrough point to integrate Manchu culture, Han culture, and Western culture.
To integrate, it is natural to let go of Manchu braids, Han people's long hair, Western short hair, Manchu flag clothes, Han people's Han clothes, and Western suits. I am ready to completely let go and let you go, no more. Restrictions, of course, are that officials must still wear flag uniforms, and official uniforms will not change. "
Yinyao's heart suddenly tightened. He had shaved his head for more than seventy years and suddenly let it go. What would happen? He hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Jiangnan is now implementing the policy of dividing households into acres, Shanxi is trying out the New Deal, and Beijing and Ningbao are quarreling over this. The royal family members of the capital, the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners, the court The civil and military officials in the city, and the officials in the city, big and small, are all discussing the new policy, with mixed opinions and opinions. To cancel the control on shaving and changing clothes at this time will definitely add chaos to chaos. The county and others sincerely pray to the emperor to postpone the introduction. "
Yinxiang also followed: "Your Majesty is wise, sage and enlightened. He aspires to conquer the world. His candle shines thousands of miles away. This is really the blessing of the Qing Dynasty and the blessing of the Eight Banners. However, Emperor Ama often taught that governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food. The abolition of shaving one's hair and making it easier to serve." The whole world is bound to pay attention, the royal family, the Eight Banners princes are noble, and the Eight Banners children are short-sighted, so they will definitely have objections to this, and I also sincerely pray that the emperor will postpone the rumor."
