On the second day after the Huaxing army entered the city, they gathered all the head shaving masters in Xi'an City.Hundreds of shops were erected on the training grounds in the city, and they were specially designed to shave the heads of the people in the city.Notices were posted all over the city, informing them that three days later, Huaxingjun would go door to door to inspect them.If anyone is found to have braids on his head, he will be punished as an anti-thief.The two city walls located on the East Street and North Street in the city have also begun to be demolished, leaving only a drum tower in the center of the city.The remaining Xincheng Gate and Xihua Gate of North Street, and the end of East Street and the fence gate were all demolished.The two central axis streets of Xi'an City, east, west, north and south, finally ran through the whole line two hundred years after the Qing Dynasty settled in.Zhang Xian also mobilized the power of the people in the city, and whoever took down the bricks of the city wall belonged to him, and he didn't charge a penny if he took it down.Hundreds of thousands of people in Xi'an suddenly drove donkey carts, or on foot, or single, or with families, and the elderly, weak, women and children went into battle, all wielding hammers and shovels, and digging wall bricks on the city wall.At that time, the Leifeng Pagoda on the West Lake was collapsed by someone turning a brick.The street disappeared in two days, that is, within a month.You must know that there are many families in the city, but they still live in mud houses.These wall tiles are not only smooth and flat, but also strong and durable.But it is a good material for repairing the house, laying the ground, and building a pigsty.Three days later, a tenth of the kilometers of walls had been cut off.The attic on the city wall was also completely stripped away, which greatly surprised Zhang Xian.The reason why he came up with this method is that when he was a child, he always took his friends to pick up the city wall and used it to build the family's pigsty."
No wonder the president always says that he must rely on the strength of the masses, the strength of the masses is really huge" Zhang Xian chuckled and sighed, and after looking at the city wall, he returned to the training ground in the city.The hair braids of the training ground chief have piled up, and the three-day deadline has passed.Hua Xingjun has already assembled in the square, preparing to carry out a carpet inventory of every household in the city.The head shaving master shaved off hundreds of heads every day, and Zhang Xian did not let them work in vain, and each person who shaved his head had to pay five copper coins.At the end of the work, all the shavers couldn't help but shake their hands.However, after three days, each person has at least tens of taels of income."
The soldiers were ordered to search from house to house, and as long as they found a person in the house who did not cut their braids, they would behead all the houses.I understand it," Zhang Xian shouted on the parade platform and gave the order, his face full of ruthlessness."
Understood, understood, understood" all the soldiers of the Huaxing Army responded with shouts.The general in charge of this operation was none other than Wang Baotian, deputy commander of the Lanzhou Military Region stationed in Xi'an.Wang Baotian is a native of Xi'an, and when Shaanxi returned to the rebellion, he pulled up a team to follow the Hui people.Later, after Wang Shijie returned to Shaanxi, he followed Wang Shijie and grew up step by step.After the expansion of the army, he served as a military commander, and now he is a deputy commander.Although Zhang Xian had given the Manchus three days, the Manchus regarded the braids as their ancestors after all.Although some unfilial children took the initiative to cut their braids, the elderly people were still determined to die.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the mood of the Han people in the face of the shaving order was probably the same as that of the current Manchurians.At this moment, braids are no longer simple hair, but a kind of national integrity.It's a pity that the flag people have been assimilated for hundreds of years, and they can't write and write, and they can't get on the horse, so where do they know what integrity is.After Waitab took the lead in shaving his hair with the generals of the Eight Banners Army, no matter how much the older people scolded, more than half of the people in the city always chose to obey.The inspection lasted for more than half a month, and at the beginning, some banner people were lucky, thinking that Huaxingjun did not dare to do it, but just talked about it.If you cut your braids and Xi'an City is taken by the imperial court another day, you really can't face your ancestors and you can't face the emperor.But when the Huaxing army searched for it, the Eight Banners nobles, the largest family in the city, were the first to be killed.It is said that they are also related to Cixi of the current dynasty, and they both belong to the same surname Yehnara.The ancestors of the family also had a prince, and the old man was an extremely proud person, and no matter how persuaded by his children and grandchildren, he refused to cut off his braids.All day long, he chanted Buddha in the ancestral hall, praying that the ancestors would descend to the gods, so that the Eight Banners Army could regain their courage and wipe out these Han people who were in rebellion.Wang Baotian decided that their family would go under the knife, and the whole clan would be up and down, regardless of the old and the young, men and women.A total of thousands of people, all of whom were arrested and shot in the square.No one dared to hold on now, and the queen mother's relatives were all killed on the spot, who has a more noble identity than this.Other Manchu nobles also had their heads shaved compulsorily, regardless of whether the old man in the family wanted to or not.After all, everyone wants to live, and you can't harm the whole clan because of you.The former servants in the city hired people to pull corpses from the square to the mass graves outside the city every day.Half a month later, the inspection was completed.Of the more than 100,000 Manchus, less than 10,000 have adhered to their ethics and kept their hair without losing their heads.After the whole family was shot, they were dragged to a mass grave outside the city and poured fire oil, and the fire was burned clean.The cooperation of these banner men was also expected by Zhang Xian, but after the implementation of the braiding order for the Han people outside the city, it was beyond Zhang Xian's expectations.Because Qiao Zhiqing made it clear that the Han people can only persuade, not be punished.If persuasion fails, they will go, but all the welfare policies that will be implemented in the future will no longer be relevant to them.A large part of the rotten Confucians in Xi'an City took pride in not cutting their braids after seeing that the Huaxing army did not dare to attack the Han Chinese.Words must be called the skin of the body, and the parents who receive it, they must follow the example of the ancients and maintain their noble integrity.Everyone is also proud of not cutting their braids, and they spend their whole day throwing a braid and sneaking around the city to show themselves.Zhang Xian was completely speechless for these Han people who recognized thieves as fathers and enslaved them for hundreds of years, so he could only let them go.Wait until the day when they can't open the pot, and see if they can still maintain their integrity.The Manchurians living in Xi'an no longer enjoy the privileges of the past, and completely cut off their monthly money.Not to mention ordinary banner people, even famous nobles, they all live a tight life, relying on their former savings.The banner people were looking forward to the imperial court recovering Xi'an as soon as possible, but they were also afraid that the imperial court would really come.Without braids on his head, even if he escaped under the guns of Huaxingjun, he would be cut off by the imperial court.After shaving their braids, Hua Xingjun no longer interfered with their freedom.If you want to continue living in Xi'an, you should register with the newly established Ministry of Civil Affairs and change your nationality to Han nationality.If you want to leave, Hua Xingjun will not stop you, as long as you confiscate your family property and leave the house, you can go anywhere.In a blink of an eye, it was golden autumn and October again.Whether it is Jiangbei or Jiangnan, it is a busy scene of a bumper harvest.After many days of travel, the peace delegation led by Qi Junzao once again set foot on the ground in Nanjing.After a year, everyone in the delegation was stunned by the changes in Nanjing.Including Qi Junzao, he is used to seeing big scenes, and he is full of admiration for Qiao Zhiqing.The magnificent and majestic city wall of Nanjing has now lost its defensive role.It has been completely transformed into a park, and anyone can visit it.The word "tourism" also appeared for the first time in Chinese history.Qiao Zhiqing also specially asked the Ministry of Finance to allocate special funds to set up municipal bureaus in various cities.It is specially responsible for repairing the famous mountains and rivers of each city, transforming them into parks and scenic spots, and providing them for the people to play in their leisure time.Park attractions are the common property of the common people, Qiao Zhiqing does not want to follow the example of future generations and enclose all the tourist attractions to collect tickets.Although this will waste a large part of financial resources, the happiness of the people will increase a lot, and it will be regarded as a welfare for the people."
Father, it's windy on the walls.It's getting late, and it's time for us to go back to the hotel. ”On the city wall in the north of Nanjing, an old man is standing on the edge of the battlement, looking at the Yangtze River in front of him.Cargo ships are swaying up, coming and going, a bustling and busy scene."
Shen'er, you said that Jiangnan and Jiangbei are only separated by a river, why are the two sides like heaven and hell" The old man sighed with a melancholy face, his eyes still looking around.He is Qi Junzao, who is in charge of the peace talks, and the young man behind him is his son, Qi Youshen.Now the clothing style in Jiangnan is changing quickly with the new generation, and the men have basically all taken off their robes and changed into simple and convenient Chinese clothes.Both of them were still wearing old-fashioned green robes and horse coats, and among the tourists who came and went, they were like foreign visitors, and they were unusually dazzling."
Father, although Qiao Zhiqing betrayed the Qing Dynasty, he is a hero of the Han people.We met a lot of people along the way, as long as we talked about Qiao Zhiqing, no one was not shouting long live.And his thinking is beyond this era, you may not know that a train has been opened from Nanjing to Zhenjiang.Compared with Jiangbei and Jiangnan, it is thousands of miles behind. ”The peace talks began two days later, and the delegation went to different places.When Qi Youshen was in the capital, he heard about the construction of a railway in the south of the Yangtze River.As soon as I arrived in Nanjing, after staying in the hotel, I recruited a rental carriage with several noble children in the delegation and visited Nanjing Railway Station.If he was still a little prejudiced against Qiao Zhiqing last year, when he came here this year, he was completely convinced and admired Qiao Zhiqing."
According to what you mean, is it true that the Great Qing Kingdom should die, no matter how powerful Qiao Zhiqing is, he can't change his identity as a chaotic minister and thief.He could have chosen another path and could have achieved that ambition as well.Britain is not only a constitutional monarchy, but also stands at the end of the world.Why did he have to overthrow the imperial court, why did he have to solve the problem through violence" Qi Junzao thought of a lot of troublesome things, and couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart.He is also over the age of sixteen this year, and his body bones are not as tough as before, so he couldn't help but take out a silk silk and cough for a while."
Father, let's go back first.Tonight, Qiao Zhiyuan specially set up a banquet to entertain you, and it is said that Qiao Zhiqing also came to accompany you.When you see him, don't block the gas anymore, what should have happened has happened, you just regenerate your anger, and you can't solve any problems. ”Qi Youshen hurriedly patted his father's back, relieved him, and helped him slowly descend the city wall
