Following the announcement of the two imperial edicts and one imperial edict, the entire capital and Zhili region exploded.
It was fine for the commoners. They did not care if they kept their braids or not. It was best if they did not.
However, the Manchu people were going crazy. Cutting their braids would cost them their lives.
Therefore, the region that had just stabilized was in chaos again.
Chen Ling was prepared for such a situation.
Every hairdresser was followed by a team of Bio-Human soldiers.
If you cut your braids, you can go to the granary to get ten catties of rice.
Those who were disobedient, wanted to resist, or had conflicting emotions would be shot without saying anything.
As for those who took the lead to cause trouble and wanted to overthrow Chen Ling's rule and restore the Manchu Dynasty, there were more than five of them. They threw a grenade at them and the world became quiet.
If there were less than five people, they could just shoot with their guns. There was nothing much to say.
"Have the statistics been calculated?"
Ever since the imperial edict to cut the braids was issued, Chen Ling had asked Wu Pingquan to count the people who wanted to cause trouble and those who did not want to cut the braids.
"Your Majesty, the statistics have been calculated.”
Wu Pingquan followed Chen Ling and handed over the statistics.
These two days, he was really convinced. Chen Ling was more knowledgeable than him. There were many things that he did not understand, but Chen Ling had taught him.
"As expected, these Eight Banners and Manchu people are basically landowners.”
Chen Ling sneered after reading the report.
"Your Majesty, do you want to make a move on the landlord and the squires?”
Wu Pingquan said worriedly.
It would be fine if he only attacked the Manchu landowners, but if he attacked all the landowners and squires, then Chen Ling would be completely on the opposite side of the country.
Those who had the right to speak were basically colluding with officials and businessmen. Those who had power in the local areas were also the landlord class.
If Chen Ling made a move against the landlord class in Beijing and Zhili, it would be equivalent to offending the landlord class in the entire country.
At that time, it would be very difficult for Chen Ling to unify the entire country. The resistance he would encounter would also become even more terrifying.
"Of course we have to do it. Are we going to let them oppress the people?”Chen Ling said coldly.
" But Your Majesty, we really can't rush this matter..." Wu Pingquan quickly said.
But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Chen Ling.
"Don't worry, I know what you're worried about. However, I can tell you that the strongest force in the world is not the landowners and the squires, but the countless peasants.”Chen Ling said with a smile.
What a joke. Was there a problem with this strategy?
It didn't exist. Even if he didn't have the system, he could still unify the entire country with this strategy.
Moreover, he had the most advanced equipment now. It was impossible for this strategy to go wrong.
"Then when does Your Majesty plan to make a move?”
Wu Pingquan could tell that Chen Ling had made up his mind, so he could only think of a way to maintain stability while getting rid of the landlord class.
"There's no rush. Send someone to count the grain reserves around the capital and Zhili region first. The most important thing is to see if the people have any grain reserves.”Chen Ling's eyes flickered with a cold light. This time, he was prepared to play big.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll send someone to calculate it now.”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of Yangxin Palace Hall.
"Come in."
A eunuch pushed open the door and entered.
Originally, Chen Ling was not prepared to use these eunuchs, but he could not kill all of them.
If he didn't kill them, would he let them serve Guangxu, who was already living outside the Imperial Palace?
Even if Guangxu wanted to support these eunuchs, he did not have the money.
When Chen Ling chased Guangxu out of Zijin City, he didn't give him much money even though he was given a place to live in a minister's mansion.
Now, Guangxu even had a problem eating. He relied on his concubines to do manual work to subsidize his family.
He couldn't even afford to raise a maid, let alone these eunuchs.
In the end, Chen Ling could only make these eunuchs and palace maids stay.
However, this was also the last batch of eunuchs. He had already revoked the clean room.
"Your Majesty, the envoys of Japan, Russia, Ying, France, and Germany have arrived at the palace gate. They want to see Your Majesty.”The young eunuch reported respectfully.
When Chen Ling heard that the envoys of these countries had come to look for him, the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile.
"Bring them in." Chen Ling said indifferently.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the eunuch left, Wu Pingquan frowned and said,""Your Majesty, these foreigners don't come with good intentions.”
"Isn't it just a war? Zhen is actually more anxious than them.”Chen Ling was a little excited.
Although they had killed hundreds of thousands of Qing soldiers, it was at most an internal struggle. It was meaningless.
Now, fighting against these awesome western countries was a real foreign war.
According to his game settings, fighting foreigners would give him more experience points.
He hadn't settled his internal affairs yet, so he couldn't rush to unify the whole country. Therefore, he didn't have any experience, which made him a little frustrated.
Who would have thought that just as he started worrying about the issue of experience points, these envoys would run over.
In Chen Ling's opinion, these were all experience points.
