The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 658: The Jisi Incident: The Dream of Restoration is Destroyed
On the canopy.

The weather in August is hot and humid.

Just after the hour of Si, the West Market Gate in the capital was already crowded with people.

The execution platform was surrounded by two layers of inner and outer walls, and three inspectors wearing flying fish uniforms stood at each corner of the execution pillar.

On the execution stake, the prisoner was disheveled and his face was covered in blood.

Blood dripped down his chin.

On the execution platform, the red-robed official held a document and said loudly:
"According to the Great Ming Law, Yuan Chonghuan shall be crucified!"

"The Emperor has issued an order: After Yuan Chonghuan is executed, his head will be hung for three days and sent to the nine borders!"

After saying that, he looked at the shadow of the flagpole on the ground.

Then:

"The time has come, bring the wine! Execution!"

……

[In the first month of the third year of Chongzhen (1630), the chief minister Han Yu retired. In June, Wang Yongguang, the Minister of Personnel of the "eunuch party", took advantage of the Jisi Incident and instructed the censors to impeach Qian Longxi and others of the Donglin Party.]

【Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and others also added fuel to the fire.】

【Say: Qian Longxi advocated that Yuan Chonghuan kill the general and bring in the troops, and proposed negotiations to prove his claim of success in five years.】

[He betrayed his country and deceived his emperor. His crime is unavoidable.]

[Qian Longxi left the capital and used the tens of thousands of yuan in bribes given by Chonghuan to send to his in-laws, and cunningly made arrangements to prevent the law from being enforced.]

[The judicial department should be ordered to conduct a thorough investigation to find out the crimes of Qian Longxi's collusion with border officials, abuse of power to finance, and concealment of the facts.]

[Yuan Chonghuan was guilty of killing people for personal gain, seeking money to win over the enemy, despising the emperor and his father, and making mistakes in border control.]

……

The period of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty
Inside Weiyang Palace.

Liu Ying was so shocked that the meat in his mouth dropped. He pointed at the sky and said in disbelief:
"That's the reason?"

"He won't really believe it?"

Empress Lü glanced over and said calmly:

"Ying'er, you still don't understand."

Liu Ying looked at Empress Lu.

The old woman closed her eyes and said slowly:
"Those Liaodong governors of all generations, such as Gao Di and Wang Zhichen, were incompetent, but they managed to keep the border intact."

"This time, a capable man named Yuan Chonghuan came to power, but he was beaten at home."

"Where is the emperor's dignity?"

"Someone has to take responsibility for this, right?"

"Who's responsible?"

"There are only two people. One is Yuan Chonghuan, the commander-in-chief of Ji and Liao."

"One is to appoint Yuan Chonghuan as emperor."

Liu Ying picked up the meat that fell on the ground, wiped it, and put it back into his mouth.

He got it.

"The emperor is a wise and enlightened emperor."

"Yuan Chonghuan has made great contributions, so it is not wrong to use him."

"So, the fault lies solely with Yuan Chonghuan."

"Mother... my son feels a little sick..."

Empress Lü did not even open her eyes and said calmly:

"Then you have to endure it."

……

[Among the court officials at that time, some spoke out for Yuan Chonghuan, while others tried to entreat him.]

[Some people firmly believed that Yuan Chonghuan had surrendered to the enemy, and they wrote to him in a righteous manner, demanding that he be severely punished.]

Zu Dashou wrote a letter, expressing his willingness to be demoted to a commoner, to fight for the court to the death, and to redeem Yuan Chonghuan's "crime" with his official rank.

[Yuan Chonghuan's subordinate He Zhibi led his family of more than 40 people to the outside of the palace to apply for the entire family to go to prison in place of Yuan Chonghuan.]

[Officers, officers, soldiers and civilians outside the Great Wall kept coming to the yamen of Governor Sun Chengzong to cry out for justice for Yuan Chonghuan and offer to sacrifice their lives for him.]

On August 1630, the third year of Chongzhen (), Emperor Chongzhen said to his ministers on the terrace of the Forbidden City:
"Yuan Chonghuan failed to carry out his trust and relied on deception and concealment. He supported the bandits when he bought rice and executed the generals when he tried to collect money. He allowed the enemy to advance and stopped the troops without fighting. He also dismissed all the reinforcements that had gathered and when the troops were approaching the city, he secretly brought lamas with him and insisted on entering the city. He committed many crimes."

[“Crucifix him according to the law!”]

[On the same day, Yuan Chonghuan was executed by slow slicing.]…

{Yuan Chonghuan's imprisonment was really his own fault.}
{First, the Later Jin was the target of Liaodong’s defense, but the Liaodong army arrived in Beijing to rescue after Xuanfu, which inevitably makes people doubt their true motives.}
{Secondly, after the outbreak of the Ming-Qing War, the Ming army was defeated repeatedly, but the amazing thing was that each time the enemy army was completely annihilated while the Liaodong army remained unharmed.}
{Finally, it was also Yuan Chonghuan’s own problem. When Chongzhen ascended the throne, Yuan Chonghuan promised to pacify Liaodong within five years. However, before the five-year period was up, the capital was attacked.}
{With repeated additions, Yuan Chonghuan's behavior can be evaluated using two extreme statements.}
{From a positive perspective, Huang Taiji broke through from Jimen, contrary to common practice. Yuan Chonghuan did make a mistake in judgment, but he also actively made up for it and led the entire army to support him.}
{As for the need to reorganize in the capital, it was because the Liaodong Army was very good at the tactic of defending the city and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, and Beijing, as the capital, had a solid defense, which was very suitable for annihilating the Later Jin at the gates of the city.}
{However, from a negative perspective, even if Yuan Chonghuan did not collude with the Later Jin to plot a coup, simply letting the invaders enter Beijing was a serious crime.}
{Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan did not come to Beijing for reorganization and Zu Dashou withdrew his troops on his own. At the very least, he was using the army to gain respect. In particular, Man Gui was injured and died in battle, which once again confirmed the suspicion that the Liaodong Army was harming friendly forces.}
{Although Chongzhen had shortcomings such as impulsiveness, there was nothing wrong with him imprisoning Yuan Chonghuan. It was reasonable and legal.}
{Some people say that Huang Taiji used a strategy of sowing discord to turn Yuan Chonghuan from a high-ranking official into a prisoner.}
{In fact, as early as when Yuan Chonghuan and the Later Jin army won the battle outside the Great Wall, a large number of rumors about Yuan Chonghuan surrendering to the enemy began to circulate in the Ming Dynasty.}
{From the folk songs in Beijing, such as "Half of the people in the east fled after voting for Yuan Chonghuan" and "The death of Mao Gong was an injustice to the world, but the death of Yuan Gong was not pitied by people", we can see that the public opinion in Beijing has formed a trend of encirclement and suppression against Yuan Chonghuan.}
{Under such circumstances, Yuan Chonghuan would not have had the opportunity to defend himself, because no one would choose to believe him at this time, including the emperor.}
……

Ji Han.

Cao Cao couldn't help but slam the table and said:

"The general trend of the world is that one side will rise while the other side will fall!"

"Today he rises, tomorrow you fall!"

"This time you don't think about the importance of the border, but instead convict people based on criticism!"

"Don't doubt the people you employ, and don't employ those you doubt!"

"It's really hard for this emperor to accomplish anything great!"

Liu Bei thought of what Yuan Chonghuan said when he pacified Liao in the fifth year.

"Those outside the city are enemies, and those inside the city also see him as an enemy. In this way, he has become the public enemy of the world."

"He had predicted what was happening before him. Did he ever expect that the reality would be a hundred times worse than he imagined?"

Zhuge Liang lowered his eyes, his face showing neither sadness nor joy.

Should Yuan Chonghuan be killed?

Ma Su deserved to be killed, and Yuan Chonghuan deserved to be killed.

The nature is the same.

But how to kill and what crime to kill.

It's very different again.

……

[After Yuan Chonghuan died, his remains were left in the ground and no one dared to bury him.]

[He had a servant named Yu, from Majiang, Shunde, who stole his remains in the middle of the night and buried them in Guangdong Yiyuan inside Guangqumen.]

[Across the city wall, on a square outside Guangqu Gate and in the city moat, is where Yuan Chonghuan led his soldiers in a fierce battle eight and a half months ago.]

[He repelled an invading force that was ten times his size and saved the lives of the emperor and the people of Beijing, while the emperor and the people of Beijing cut him into pieces.]

[The loyal servant named Yu guarded the tomb all his life and was buried next to Yuan Chonghuan's tomb after his death.]

[The descendants of this Mr. Yu have been guarding Yuan Chonghuan's tomb for generations.]

[Until the fifth year of the Republic of China, the descendants of Yu Jun were still guarding Yuan's tomb. They said it was to follow the teachings of their ancestors.]

……

Ming Dynasty Wanli Period
Zhang Juzheng looked at the sky.

There is endless sadness in my heart.

Yuan Chonghuan did have character problems, but he was the only general in the Ming Dynasty at that time who inflicted heavy losses on the Later Jin army twice in a row.

The key is……

Your emperor's promise has been written down in black and white...

All the last charges were finally fulfilled by Yuan Chonghuan who had asked for trust that year...

"We are faced with a powerful enemy... We are faced with a powerful enemy..."

……

Ming Dynasty·Chongzhen period
The emperor's fingers turned white as he held the memorial with such force.

Does Tianmu mean that the king is ruthless?
But who can understand how worried and uneasy an emperor must be when his city is besieged by an army of 100,000?
I treated him as my last straw and held on to him tightly. At that time, he patted his chest and promised him that he would recover all of Liao in five years!
Zhu Youjian clenched his teeth tightly.

“The clanging sound is still ringing in my ears!”

and then?
The Later Jin army is approaching the capital!

What a great shame and humiliation since Emperor Yingzong ascended the throne!

Yuan Chonghuan kept saying he wanted to keep the enemy outside the Great Wall! But in the end he put the battlefield right under my nose!
"Deceiving the emperor!"

"Deceiving the emperor!!!"

……

[The Jisi Incident marked the complete collapse of Emperor Chongzhen's dream of reviving the country.]

[The defense system of the capital region of the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong Town, Ji Town, Xuanfu Town, and Datong Town were severely damaged or destroyed, and six generals were killed or captured: Zhao Lujiao, Man Gui, Sun Zushou, Ma Dengyun, Hei Yunlong, and Zhu Guoyan.]

[Minister of War Wang Qia, Minister of Works Zhang Fengxiang, Superintendent of Ji-Liao Yuan Chonghuan, Governor of Zunhua Wang Yuanya, and Prime Minister of Ji-Liao-Bao Military Affairs Liu Ce were either killed or imprisoned.]

【The Ming Dynasty suffered a huge shock.】
