The prison behind Zhu Jun was obviously dissatisfied with Li Xiong's behavior and shouted: Do you dare to turn your back to the emperor and commit suicide?"

Li Xiong was still not moving, the light in his eyes became darker and darker, and a bloody smell filled the cell of several square meters. A guard wanted to turn him over and over. He just held his shoulder, but suddenly his face changed and he said, "The criminal Qin bit his tongue and committed suicide."

The prison hurriedly went over to check it out. Sure enough, he saw that Li Xiong's mouth was covered with snow and his lips were squirming. The prison was frightened and looked like earth. He took a step back and hurriedly came over to apologize to Zhu Jun: "Your Majesty, I will die."

The prison was also unlucky. Finally, I ran into the emperor to inspect the prison in person. Unexpectedly, if this happened, the criminal's suicide was a factor that made him missed the supervision. Maybe this iron rice bowl would be taken from now on.

Zhu Jun sighed faintly. Li Xiong was obviously not afraid of death. Such a person should have been a well-known man, but why did he be foolish and loyal to the Qing court?

"It has nothing to do with you at this time, so get up." Zhu Jun asked the prison to get up. Seeing that the emperor did not punish him, a big rock fell to the ground in his heart, and hurriedly stood behind Zhu Jun.

"Emperor, there are words here." said a guard.

"Please take a light, see what is written." Zhu Jun was curious. This should be Li Xiong's last words at the end of his life. However, although there were lanterns here, they still seemed dim. At first glance, there were actually a few lines of words on the wall facing Li Xiong, and it seemed that they were written in blood.

Several prisoners added a few more lanterns to come in, and the cell suddenly became clear. Zhu Jun approached the wall and felt very uncomfortable with a bloody smell. A guard next to him said, "Master, let the villain copy it first."

Zhu Jun nodded, turned around with his hands behind his back: "Go back to the palace."

When Zhu Jun returned to the palace, the copied guard also came back. He copied the bloody words on the wall on a piece of white paper. Zhu Jun spread them open. He only saw a few lines of words on the white paper, "Li knew that he was ashamed of the people of the world, and had no face to show him in front of others. What Li did was really helpless. The Eight Banners of the Liaodong Han Army were originally formed in their own system and depended on Manchu and Mongolia. If the emperor wanted the Qing court to cause trouble, if he could get apart, the population of the whole country was only one million. It was not worth worrying about it."

The Han Army Flag? Zhu Jun couldn't help but gain and lose. He had never paid much attention to this area. Therefore, he didn't know much about this system. So he waved to Xiao Guizi to find Hu Yan.

Hu Yan and Chen Yonghua have now become Zhu Jun's encyclopedia. Modern people use Baidu. Zhu Jun uses Hu Yan. If you have any questions, you will be sure. After a moment, Hu Yan hurried to talk.

To put it bluntly, this Han military flag is the descendants of the traitor troops affiliated to the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia. Most of these people, the fathers and grandfathers were formerly officers and soldiers of the Ming army in Liaodong. Later, they surrendered to Manchus and became powerful weapons after Manchus entered the pass.

Before entering the pass, the Manchus founded the Han army flag and established the thirteen yamen to govern. The leaders of the Han army flag were all under the jurisdiction of Fan Chengmo and Ding Sikong, for example. They were mostly under the jurisdiction of the second or even the third generation of Qing Dynasty supporters. They were at the highest level of society. Their father and grandfather had already defected to Nurhaci or Huang Taiji in Liaodong. The second and third generations of descendants of this group of Han official land were very few different from the Manchu nobles. Some children were also allowed to intermarry with Manchus and were even selected as concubines in the harem.

In a slightly lower level, the second and third generation descendants of the Han army flag were also appointed by Chen, the father, the grandfather, and the emperor became a loyal servant. An example of the emperor was worth noting was Maxiongzhen. He was recommended by his father, Ma Ming and served as deputy director of the Ministry of Works.

Ma Ming was born in a well-known family in Liaoyang. The women of this family committed suicide collectively in 16211 because of resentment. Ma Mingpei entered the official career under Huang Taiji and served as the newly established Qixinlang of the Ministry of Works. Since then, he quelled the rebellion and the people in the riots in Shanxi and made great contributions. Ma Ming was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He was specially sent to Jiangnan by the Ministry of Revenue to organize the grain transportation system and was later promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His son Ma Zhenxiong was under the Han army's encirclement Hongqi and served in the Ministry of Works. He was in charge of the royal mint factory and Liulichang in southern Beijing. Then, like his father, he served as Qixinlang of the Zongren Mansion.

Especially during the Shunzhi period, Shunzhi appointed Han Army Banners as governors of various provinces, which particularly clearly reflected his trust in these people. During the Shunzhi period, Han Army Banners began to become new confidants, almost playing the role of the emperor of Beijing in the provinces. This was partly because the Qing court intended to prevent the Manchus and Mongols from ruling the provinces. Before 1658, a Manchu governor was never appointed; it was not until after Oboi's autocracy that exceptions began to be made. Therefore, in the Shunzhi period, Han Army Banners replaced Manchus to govern various provinces, and even replaced Han people's imperial examinations, making it difficult for them to find officials.

If the capital is Manchu, and outside the pass is the world of the Mongols, then the other areas are more precisely this group of Han military flags. Almost all the governors and governors of each province are Han military flagsmen, and even with some green camps, they are also controlled by the descendants of these traitors. The reason is that the constant struggle between the banner masters within the Eight Banners of Manchu. Although these banner masters are all Manchu, they are all princes. Such people are definitely the most dangerous to shake the imperial power.

How could the emperor let their slaves control the provinces? They were more obedient, and they had a higher status than ordinary Han people and were also a member of the ruling class. Therefore, they were still loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but their status was much worse than that of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia. This means that if they want to maintain their power, they must rely on the emperor. Moreover, using the Han people to rule the Han people is indeed one of the best means to maintain their rule.

This method of rule is a good intention and the most appropriate method. However, the problem lies here. Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin, Zhao Fu, and hundreds of green camp surrenders not only seriously hit the Qing court, but also brought psychological shadows to Xiaozhuang and Kangxi, that is, the Han people were not trustworthy. If such a result could be used well, it would inevitably lead to a gap between the governor and the governor of the Han army flag in the local area. Once the barrier arises, it would be difficult to eliminate it. Due to the tightening of Liaodong, the main force of the Eight Banners had no time to look south, and the power of the governor of the local area was enhanced, so it would be difficult for the Qing court to control various provinces.

Li Xiong caught a loophole in the Qing Dynasty rule. This loophole may not be of much use when the Southern Ming Dynasty was destroyed, but once a powerful force rises, it will be different.

Zhu Jun was very excited when he heard Hu Yan's report. The Manchu ruling institution was not a solid piece of law. Because of Li Xiong's words before his death, he suddenly understood it.

It is actually very simple to make the Han Junqi Group, the governor of Manchu and the local governor, create a crack. Once the rumors come out, even if Xiaozhuang and Kangxi don’t believe it, what will the governors in various places think? If there is news of their rebellion everywhere in the capital, isn’t it enough to make them frightened? They are thinking that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Emperor may have believed the rumors, but they are just inconvenient to do anything, or they may not dare to sack them. Once this idea has occupied their minds, in order to maintain their power, these people will either continue to express their loyalty to the court or give up.

Zhu Jun began to calm down and said to Hu Yan: "Is there anyone in Beijing City in Beizhen Fushi?"

"Some." Hu Yan didn't know why the emperor asked: "There is a thousand households in Beijing, with more than 500 people. It's just that it's under Manyi's nose. The ministers dare not let them act rashly, but they just lurked secretly and wait for the emperor to settle the Central Plains in the north to make use of it."

Zhu Jun said: "You can't wait anymore. I will send a message to them immediately to spread some rumors. As for how to make these rumors, I will discuss with Zhou Mubai for a while." Zhu Jun remembered Zhou Mubai. This guy was recently supervising the affairs of the development zones of various provinces. Although he was still a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, he was almost unstoppable to inspect the development zones in various provinces. Therefore, he has not even had time to go to the cabinet to pay tribute recently.

What Zhou Mubai is best at doing is such a wrong thing. He is better than those ministers who speak of benevolence and righteousness.

"Also, I want to send an imperial edict to tell Wanli that the Han people in the world will be inherited from each other, and they will be together for prosperity and disgrace. Therefore, as long as they are Han people who are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, they can guarantee their titles and write them off their old accounts." Zhu Jun emphasized the titles of the past, and did not mention official positions. If someone really submits to them, at most they will give them a false title to support their elderly care.

"Your Majesty, don't you ask some people who do evil or offense?" Hu Yan's face was a little unpleasant.

"Of course I have to ask, but it's not that now. Those who do evil will have to wait until later to find a crime to deal with it." Zhu Jun's mood became more and more peaceful, and he said: "There is another extremely dangerous thing. You can discuss with the Nanzhen Fushi and call out a group of brave men who dare to die. Each of them brings a secret letter to all provinces and roads of the Diyi provinces and roads. As long as the chief official is from Han people, they will contact them. They must not only do secrets but also leave a tail to let the Qing court know that these officials have contacted our spies. This is extremely dangerous, so they must declare voluntarily when choosing. If they can come back safely and get promoted immediately, even if they are tied up and executed by those people, they must strongly provide their families."

The last one was thought of by Zhu Jun, who sent someone to persuade the surrender. On the surface, he was hiding, but he had to find out the traces so that the Qing court could not know. In this way, even if these officials who were persuaded to surrender would not be clear, it would make everyone in the Qing court dangerous. It would be better to let the power of Manchu racist like Oboi rise.
