Chapter 219 Battle of Jiaxian
Someone in the clouds sent me a brocade book: Woo hoo hoo, that means this battle is really tragic!
Wan Ning can’t sleep at night (Guan): By the way, Yueyue has already talked about this, why not just talk about the battle of Tumubao?
Community of Contradictions: After all, Tumu Fort was lost by Zhongyuan, which doesn’t sound very honorable!
I didn’t think about using this online name first: Yes, and what happened to the BJ defense battle? This is so powerful, it’s a great comeback.

My charming and short-lived ancestor: Agreed!

Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: Agreed! And I think BJ’s defense battle is really awesome. After all, Yu Qian was a proper civil servant before that!
Pay attention, this woman's name is Xiaomei: Yes, but the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty could scare Zhu Qiyu. Is it normal for the people to be tough?
Su Yue looked at the comment area and said, "Okay, the following battle is not famous, but the protagonist is very famous!"

One of the great battles fought by Li Zicheng's rebel army in the Central Plains.

After the Battle of Zhuxian Town in 1642, the rebel army intensified its siege on Kaifeng.

The Ming army in Henan no longer had the strength to reinforce Kaifeng, so the Ming court had no choice but to order Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, to assist Henan eastward.

Sun Chuanting appointed General Gao Jie as the central army, and also transferred General Zuo Ming, Bai Guang'en, Zheng Jiadong, Niu Huchen and other troops out of Tongguan into Henan to attack the peasant army. Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai led their troops to attack.

Later, the Yellow River burst its banks, and Li Zicheng led his troops to retreat to Gaofu.

In mid-September, heavy rains continued, and the river surged, causing Kaifeng to be flooded. The rebel army entered the city by floating boat and occupied Kaifeng.

Sun Chuanting turned to Nanyang, and Li Zicheng went to meet him.

Sun Chuanting found out that Li Zicheng had moved westward, so he "set up three counterattacks and waited".

The rebels pursued the enemy and fell into ambush. They fought hard and lost more than a thousand people.

Li Zicheng ordered a retreat, deliberately abandoning armor and gold beads along the way to lure the enemy.

The Ming armies fought with each other and the military situation was in chaos.

When Li Zicheng retreated to Zhongtou (30 miles northeast of Jiaxian County), he took advantage of the enemy's chaos and returned to counterattack.

At this time, Luo Rucai's follow-up troops arrived and carried out a pincer attack, defeating the Ming army.

Sun Chuanting fled back to Shaanxi. The rebel army achieved its fourth victory in annihilating the Ming army.

The next year, Sun Chuanting came out of seclusion again and was defeated in the areas of Ruzhou and Jiaxian. This was called the "Battle of Ruzhou".

I didn’t think of using this as my online name first: I’ll kill you! That is to say, I suddenly remembered that the two surnames Li and Zhu cannot intermarry?

My charming and short-lived ancestor: Yes! Because Li Tang’s country was destroyed by Zhu Wen, and Zhu Ming’s country was destroyed by Li Zicheng! These two families are feuding!
Pay attention, this woman’s name is Xiaomei: I totally agree! But seriously, if Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang met underground, they wouldn't be able to fight.
Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: It shouldn't be a problem, right? After all, it was not Zhu Yuanzhang who destroyed Li Tang. There were hundreds of years between them!

Who in the clouds sent a brocade book: Maybe, after all, the emperor has his own arrogance, and there is a feud between these two surnames
I can’t sleep at night (Guan): Agreed! But I think they must get together in the end, because he and Zhu Di have so many topics in common!

I don’t want to go home at night: That’s right! But are they really not good at poking fun at each other?

Kick the lame man's good leg like crazy: Yes, but maybe it's probably not the case, right?
Su Yue saw the comment area and said, "Okay, now let's take a look at Sun Chuanting's profile!"

Sun Chuanting (May 1593, 5 - November 21, 1643), courtesy name Boya and Baigu, was born in Zhenwuwei, Daizhou (now Daixian County, Shanxi), and was a minister in the late Ming Dynasty.

Sun Chuanting became a Jinshi at the age of twenty-seven, and served successively as the magistrate of Yongcheng County, the magistrate of Shangqiu County, the head of the Ceremony Department of the Ministry of Personnel, and the doctor of the Jixun Department. Because he was dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's autocratic power, he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown. He was idle for nearly ten years. In the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635), he returned to Beijing and served as a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Prime Minister of Shuntian. In the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), he was transferred to the governor of Shaanxi. He worked with Hong Chengchou to suppress the peasant uprising, captured Gao Yingxiang, the "King of Chuang", and eliminated ten people. The five groups of rebels stabilized the situation in Shaanxi.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen (1638), due to the Qing troops entering the fortress, he went to Beijing to serve the king. After Lu Xiangsheng died in battle, his descendants were reinforced by governors in various towns. In the following year, he was promoted to governor of Baoding. Soon after, he asked to resign on the grounds of deafness, but was suspected by Emperor Chongzhen and imprisoned.

He was released in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642) and served as the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi. At the urging of Emperor Chongzhen, he left Tongguan to suppress Li Zicheng, and was defeated in the battle of Jiaxian and retreated from Shaanxi.

In the 1643th year of Chongzhen (), he was promoted to the title of Superintendent of Divisions and Minister of War. He once again went out to suppress Li Zicheng. He was defeated in the Battle of Ruzhou and died in Tongguan shortly afterwards at the age of fifty-one.

Only five months after Sun Chuanting's death, the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by Li Zicheng. Therefore, the "History of the Ming Dynasty" said that "when Chuanting died, Ming Dynasty died."

The Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty gave him the posthumous title "Zhongjing".

There are works such as "Bai Gu Collection", "Jian Lao Lu" and "Provincial Crime Records" handed down to the world, which were compiled by later generations into "The Complete Works of Sun Zhongjing Gong".

My charming and short-lived ancestor: Lu Xiangsheng was also an outstanding figure!

Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: Agreed! But I think the most outstanding person should be Yuan Chonghuan, he is a ruthless man who sent Nurhaci home in one shot!
I didn’t think about using this as my online name first: Are you a serious one-shot guy?

He kicked the lame man's good leg wildly: Get out! I'm talking serious!

I didn’t think about using this online name first: Okay, but Sun Chuanting is really awesome.

Who in the clouds sent me a brocade letter: Agree! Otherwise, how could the phrase "When Chuan Ting dies, Ming Ming dies" come out?

Ripple: Agreed! But to be honest, if Chongzhen hadn’t been suspicious, maybe the Ming Dynasty would not have perished.

My charming and short-lived ancestor: No, at that point the Ming Dynasty would definitely perish!

Su Yue looked at the comment area and said, "Okay, now let's take a look at Sun Chuanting's anecdotes and allusions!"

When Sun Chuanting was appointed county magistrate in his early years, he had an arrogant personality and was not afraid of his superiors.

At that time, there was a filial son in the county who was about to get married when his father died and he lived in a tomb while his mother and fiancée lived in other rooms.

One night, a gangster put on mourning clothes, pretended to be the dutiful son, broke into the dutiful son's fiancée's room and molested her (in ancient times, the couple did not meet before the wedding, so the fiancée did not know her husband's true appearance).

When the mother found out, she asked the fiancée of the dutiful son and mistakenly thought that her son had committed an indecent act during the mourning period, so she went to scold the dutiful son.

The dutiful son was very frightened, so he hid in the room and waited. Sure enough, the gangster came again in the middle of the night. When he took off his clothes and wanted to sleep with his fiancée, the dutiful son appeared and the gangster ran away.

The fiancée hanged herself in shame, and the filial son also hanged himself. The mother, holding the mourning clothes of a gangster, complained to Sun Chuanting, but Sun Chuanting pretended not to pursue the case.

Suddenly one day, Sun Chuanting arrested all the tailors in the county and took them to the county government office. They were locked up in the inner court, showed the mourning clothes, and asked who ordered them. One tailor pointed out that a prince from the county asked him to make them secretly.

Although this Beijing official was an eunuch of Wei Zhongxian, Sun Chuanting was merciless and personally took the officials to his house, arrested the young man, put him in prison and executed him.
