Chapter 93 Are you suffering too? Don’t worry, "Anti-Jing" will be here soon!
Of course Ronglu could hear the dissatisfaction in Yuanbao's words, but he didn't know how to comfort his brother. In fact, this kind of dissatisfaction was relatively common among the banner men in Sijiu City.
Bannermen men have no worries about food, they have a share of crops, and it is easy to get errands. They don't have to borrow a bunch of "official loans" like Han officials to get into office. But... they also have their own hardships, they It's "The big head is not hungry, but the small head is hungry" - it is not easy for the Eight Banners to get a wife!
They are governed by the ancestral family law that the banner men do not marry. Although it is not impossible for a banner man to marry a Han woman, it is quite troublesome after all. This involves the issue of Han women carrying the flag, and there are many joints that need to be opened. After all, This banner woman also has her share of crops to eat. Bringing in one is a fixed expense!
Can the various government offices of the Eight Banners be opened to the public? Impossible!
Moreover, the Eight Banners group has been expelling people since the reign of Emperor Gaozong and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty... Many of the traitors whose ancestors helped the Qing Dynasty fight against the traitors in the country were cleared of the Eight Banners and set up banners to serve the people! In this In this case, the number of places to transfer people will be very tight.
Women among the bannermen had to participate in the Ministry of Internal Affairs draft between the ages of thirteen and sixteen.
It is not just the emperor who selects a few, there are also a lot of princes, county princes, Baylor, Beizi, and even various hereditary generals of the Aisin Gioro family.
The emperor's family chooses the rest, and then goes through a bunch of palaces, including Baylor's Palace, Beizi's Palace, and the General's Palace to pick and choose. Only the rest can be picked by the ordinary Eight Banners disciples.
In addition, the girls of the slave slaves' families must choose palace maids and maids of the flag master's family. Even if the selected ones are not adopted by the master, they will not be released until they are twenty-five years old. In this way, let alone Ordinary Eight Banners disciples, even Eight Banners disciples at the level of Yuanbao and Ronglu, would have a little difficulty marrying a decent wife.
Moreover, as the Aixinjueluo family "pinches" from generation to generation, they continue to exclude the most likable among the Eight Banner sisters, so the appearance of the Eight Banner children and the Eight Banner sisters has gradually collapsed.
With looks like Lan Guiren and Li Guiren, among Han women, they are considered average at best, but among the Bannermen women in Beijing, they are all heavenly.. These two flowers were planted like this in Xianfeng. There's cow dung on it. Just tell me if you're angry or not!
What’s even more irritating is that the Eight Banners disciples can’t marry the better Eight Banners sisters, or even the ugly ones, but when they fight against the Taiping Army, they have to go and die! Ronglu’s Ama and uncle both gave away , Yuanbao almost gave it away. There are many lower-level Eight Banners disciples who have been given away in the past two years!
Many people didn't even get wives, so they gave them away in vain!
Thinking of this, Rong Lu couldn't hold back his tears, but he still said to Yuan Bao: "Brother Keqin, don't say this, it won't sound good to others. Besides, the world is in chaos and the country is in crisis. It is our Eight Banners." When your children have made great achievements... if they can be granted the title of marquis and worship the prime minister, are they still afraid that they will not have a good relationship?"
"Make meritorious service?" Yuanbao raised his eyelids and glanced at his cousin, "Zhonghua, do you really want to make great contributions?"
"Think so!" Ronglu nodded firmly, "Both my Ama and uncle were... killed by Changmao! How can we not avenge the hatred of our country and our family?" He then sighed again, "Besides, the pillar of my family has already been Zhe, if I can't stand up, this family will be defeated." "Okay!" Yuanbao nodded, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile, "He is indeed a good man from my Guerjia clan... Don’t worry, my brother will take you to make great achievements!”
"Really!" Ronglu looked at Yuanbao gratefully.
"Of course it's true!" Yuanbao slapped the table and said, "Come here, pay the bill... Zhonghua, follow my brother!"
"Where to go?" Ronglu asked.
Yuanbao smiled: "Go to Bada Hutong to visit the brothels!"
"Isn't this bad?" Ronglu was still a little shy. He didn't know that going to Bada Hutong was to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. "I'm still in the period of filial piety. If someone asks someone to repay me, I can go up."
"What are you afraid of!" Yuanbao waved his hand and said with a smile, "You are going to the battlefield to subjugate demons and demons, who can sue you? Is it possible that someone can stop you from going to the battlefield? Go with me... Tonight, be a man! Don't be a damn baby even if you die!"
..
"Kezhai, today I told the emperor that you should take Yuanbao, Bai Siwen, Tu Lama and a thousand Beijing banners to go south to slay demons and eliminate demons! You have to work hard and give us a reputation with the white flag! "My lord, this is a rare opportunity!"
"Well, it is indeed a rare opportunity... I still have a few capable guards in the palace, so come with me! Old Taishan, do you have anyone you can recommend?" "My lord, one of my distant nephews, Wen Xiang, is a talented person."
"Okay, let him follow you to practice! It's best to find an opportunity to bring some troops... Don't panic if you have troops in hand!" "Your Majesty, what are you...
"The world is in turmoil today. The Emperor is weak and has no heirs. If anything happens...
In Prince Gong's palace, Prince Gong, who has just returned from the Old Summer Palace, is assigning tasks to his confidant Shengbao and his father-in-law Guiliang to slay demons! Of course, while slaying demons, Prince Gong still wants to gain some military power!
Although he himself was not the "man of destiny of the Qing Dynasty", Xianfeng did not seem to be either... In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there had been a regent who was an uncle of the emperor! And when he thought of the fate of the uncle of the emperor and the regent, Prince Gong became anxious. Clenched fists!
On the same night, the Qing Emperor Aixinjueluo Yi's hearty laughter came from the Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall in the Old Summer Palace: "Hahaha...the moon cakes of the Bull Demon King are indeed magical! I have not had them for many days. It’s so refreshing!” “This is not the magic of the Bull Demon King’s mooncakes, this is the power of you, Long Live Lord!”
Lan Guiren tied up her hair, with a few drops of sweat rolling down her white neck. Her long, beautiful face and a pair of almond-shaped eyes stared straight at Xianfeng's pockmarked face. However, she heard Xianfeng say: "Lan'er, I'm going to check out your brand tomorrow." , you must give birth to a son for me... You must give me a successor!"
Xianfeng's biggest worry now is actually not the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the south, nor the foreigners thousands of miles away, but his good brother Gong, Prince Yi. To put it bluntly, if Xianfeng dies inexplicably tonight, Yi Ming My son is the highly anticipated figure in the Nine-Fifth Period of the Qing Dynasty!
When Xianfeng thought of this, he really couldn't sleep at ease!
"Well, I will definitely work hard," Guiren Lan pursed her lips, then knelt on the kang and kowtowed to Xianfeng, "Slave, long live your grace, I want to serve you one more time..." Xianfeng laughed: "Okay! I'm not done yet!"
"My lords, my lords, something big has happened!"
Also on this night, in the duty office of the Military Aircraft Minister in the Old Summer Palace, the drowsy Military Aircraft Minister Peng Yunzhang and Mu Yin were suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door. The two Military Aircraft Ministers looked at each other. Mu Yin opened his mouth and asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Zhangjing's urgent and fast voice immediately sounded outside: "Two sirs, the Imperial Envoy of Quanzhou and the Yamen of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi have sent six hundred liga... The bandits have suddenly invaded Guangdong and Guangxi. They captured Guanyang County and surrounded Lianzhou City!"
"We conquered Guanyang and surrounded Lianzhou?" Military Minister Peng Yunzhang was shocked. "Didn't we just kill Yu Wanqing and break Daozhou City a few days ago?" Mu Yinze asked: "Could it be that the target of the Guangdong bandits is actually Guangdong and Guangxi? The Cantonese bandits believe in Western demonic religions, and the reason for attacking Guangdong and Guangxi is to connect with foreign countries and collude with Western devils, right?"
Zhang Jing, the military machine outside, said again: "My lords, what's more! The Guangdong Qiang rebelled against the powerful in Yongzhou Prefecture and Guiyang Prefecture, and spread the word "rebellion" everywhere... If the Qing officials and Kun, the best scholar in the world..." "Is this happening? What on earth do these rebels want to do?"
