Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Ye Zhong's judgment was not wrong.The news of Wu Shigong's assassination and the change of the Runing Army quickly spread, and of course the first to reach the various yamen in Henan in Kaifeng City.

As for whether Wu Shigong was arrested or killed, those officials actually didn't care.But the work of the imperial envoy and those Jinyiwei is a bit cleaner, right?The arrest and execution failed, but caused Wu Shigong to go berserk, which caused a commotion in Henan official circles.

But other officials can escape, but Henan governor Li Xianfeng cannot escape.So as soon as he got the news, he immediately reported to the capital, and began to mobilize the officers and soldiers from all walks of life in Henan to make preventive preparations.

But caught off guard, there was no time to mobilize the officers and troops in a short time, and there were even some troops like Li Lu's Nanyang officers and Zhao Ming's Guidewei. Because they had a close relationship with Wu Shigong before, Li Xianfeng herself was not at ease.So in desperation, he first used the strategy of delaying the army, and arranged officials to persuade and delay Wu Shigong.In fact, at this time, Li Xianfeng believed that the imperial envoy Xu Mengqi's actions were ordered by Emperor Chongzhen.

The words are divided into two ends.Let's talk about the mobilization of various officers and troops first:

Four characters: don't believe it.None of the officers and soldiers thought that Wu Shigong would rebel, but the generals from all walks of life felt sad.Kaifeng's Chen Yongfu and other generals also obeyed Li Xianfeng's dispatch, but their actions were also slow, as if they only wanted to protect themselves.

On the bright side, the one who reacted most violently was Li Lu, the general soldier of Nanyang, who publicly declared that Wu Shigong would not rebel.On weekdays, Li Lu boasted too much about his "brother-in-law". If Wu Shigong was convicted, then Li Lu would never escape.Besides, the interests of Li Lu and Wu Shigong are tied too closely.So he will definitely not participate in the siege, at most he will just stand by and watch.

But in the dark, the one who reacted the most was Guidewei Commander Zhao Ming.The sharp drop in the stock this time caused him a lot of losses, Grandma's!He had the intention of killing the imperial envoy Xu Mengqi.

Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng remained silent.Now their coalition forces are relying on the Runing Army for supplies, and these days their coalition forces are cooperating with the Jimin Land Reclamation Firm.I also got a lot of benefits in Ruzhou.But now they are asked to fight back, without mentioning their conscience!Where will their coalition supplies come from in the future? [

Yu Zilian replied: "Nonsense!".Although Yu Zilian had a personal grievance with Wu Shigong, he also knew Wu Shigong quite well, and knew that the current Wu Shigong definitely had no objection.

Besides, up until now, the Runing Army has been doing things quite authentically.There has never been a matter of abandoning allies.In addition, as the strength of his own army increased, Yu Zilian's knowledge increased, and Yu Zilian gradually understood the true combat effectiveness of the Runing Army, so let Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army bear the brunt of fighting the Runing Army?Yu Zilian was definitely not interested.

So after a round of mobilization, Li Xianfeng found that the officers and troops from all walks of life could not be mobilized, and as time went by.Li Xianfeng learned more and more about the situation in the Runing Mansion, and knew that the Runing Army had not carried out military operations for the time being, so at this time, he pinned his hopes on the officials who went to the Runing Mansion to negotiate.

And the unlucky boy sent was of course the current Henan Zuobu Political Envoy, Guan Kesong, the former prefect of Runing.Everyone thought that Guan Kesong was on an unlucky trip this time, and in the worst case, he might even lose his life.But no one expected that Guan Kesong not only returned safely, but also brought the imperial envoy Xu Mengqi back safely.He even brought back Wu Shigong's self-identification memorial and the interrogation of the thieves in the Jinyiwei.Confessions of the assassination of the court general.

Of course, those confessions were made by Jin Yiwei, and now they have all met the King of Hades, so there is no way to judge the authenticity of these confessions.But no matter what, it also proved that Wu Shigong didn't want to rebel now, which made Henan Governor Li Xianfeng also heave a sigh of relief.

After that, Li Xianfeng reported the latest situation to the court.But Li Xianfeng didn't know that the current government had become a mess.

At the end of March, when Emperor Chongzhen learned that the imperial envoy Xu Mengqi had failed to kill Wu Shigong and that the Runing Army was preparing to rebel.He was also taken aback.Not only was Emperor Chongzhen surprised, but even the court ministers were a little baffled by the unexpected news.

No matter how much Wu Shigong's personal virtues are criticized, no one can deny Wu Shigong's military exploits, and now he is already one of the most famous generals in the imperial court.Even if the birds are exhausted, then the birds must be dead!However, the ministers also believed that the imperial envoy Xu Mengqi's move was at the behest of Emperor Chongzhen.So they kept an unspeakable silence.

But Emperor Chongzhen almost lost his temper.It was inexplicable to carry such a scapegoat, and it was difficult for everyone to argue. This made the Chongzhen Emperor, who wanted to save face, furious.

Don't say anything, let's face reality first!In the end, Wu Shigong's rebellion is still speculation, and there is no actual action, so let's appease him first!

So Emperor Chongzhen held a rare palace feast, inviting honorable officials and ministers together.Of course, the focus of this banquet was the residences of Xue and Wu. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to show that he had no intention of killing Wu Shigong.

The special guest Xue Chenglin also received a generous reward from Emperor Chongzhen, and the banquet ended in a harmonious, lively, hypocritical and nervous atmosphere.Of course, after the banquet, Wu Weizhong returned to the mansion due to illness, and no longer took care of the affairs of the Beijing camp, and the factory guards in the capital also kept a close eye on the two marquis' mansions, doing all preventive affairs.

But this banquet also revealed a message to the outside world: Emperor Chongzhen was also ignorant of this incident.And as Mrs. Hou began to display his energy in the capital, the Donglin party members immediately pointed their finger at the chief assistant, Wen Tiren.

What kind of "traitor" and "national traitor" have big hats on Wen Tiren's head.This time, the evidence was solid, and Wen Tiren could not escape the charge of "corrupting the imperial decree".With the presentation of Wu Shigong's self-defense memorial to the court, the storm of impeachment reached its climax.Although Wen Tiren promptly abandoned the pawn to save the car and put all the blame on the imperial envoy Xu Mengqi, he was still embarrassed.

And Emperor Chongzhen also watched with cold eyes.What Wen Tiren did this time was too much, which made him have an opinion on Wen Tiren.No matter what, the rule of Emperor Chongzhen cannot be shaken. Someone should bear the responsibility of "forcing" an official army! [

No surprise, seeing this great opportunity.Cao Huachun fell into trouble just in time.

When Cao Huachun directly asked Emperor Chongzhen to let him personally lead the Dongchang soldiers to investigate Qian Yiqian's matter, so as to prevent villains from framing ministers and disturbing the unhealthy trend of the government.Emperor Chongzhen agreed.

So Cao Huachun quickly arrested Chen Luqian and Zhang Hanru, and personally tortured them in Waidongchang.As soon as the top ten tortures of Ming Dynasty were put out, Chen Luqian and Zhang Hanru offered their knees.The night before they came in, when Cao Huachun went to interrogate for the first time, he confessed everything like beans in a bamboo tube.In addition to explaining the circumstances of his crimes, he also explained many words and deeds of Wen Tiren, the chief assistant behind the scenes.

And these are not flattery, they are facts.So Cao Huachun also easily found the corresponding evidence, forming a very complete chain of evidence.So when Cao Huachun reported to Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen saw that there was no doubt, he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Benevolence has a party!"

Emperor Chongzhen used Wen Tiren to attack the Donglin Party, but now he discovered that Wen Tiren himself was forming a party for personal gain.So Wen Tiren's political life entered a countdown.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen first decided to exempt Qian Qianyi and Qu Shixu from the investigation, and ordered Chen Luqian and Zhang Hanru to be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for discussion.It just so happened that Zheng Sanjun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, was also a member of Donglin's party, so the retrial must be different, and it was agreed that Chen and Zhang should each be punished with one hundred rods, and the shackles would be called March.The two of them were beaten half to death first, and then they had to carry a wooden shackle weighing dozens of kilograms on the street for days on end.In addition, there was no mercy in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and they died before the three-month period expired.

This case has been a turmoil for nearly half a year. Once the truth came to light, the Donglin Party officials once again took advantage of the momentum and relentlessly pursued Wen Tiren's mistakes in drafting the plan, and brought up some past right and wrong.At this time, Wen Tiren really has the taste of overwhelming everyone!But Wen Tiren still didn't expect that misfortunes never come singly.

After the beginning of spring, Qiu Lei, the Shandong general, went to sea to rescue North Korea, but halfway through the boat, he learned that North Korea had fallen, and saw that his mission was impossible to complete.The Ming army who went to aid could only return to Shandong in despair.

In December of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army arrived in Seoul, and the capital of North Korea was crying loudly. Even the mountain city of Namhan, where the king of North Korea Li Ji fled, was surrounded by the Qing army.On the [-]th, the Qing army entered the capital of North Korea.On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the second year, the Qing army crossed the Han River north.Twenty miles away from Wangjing, he camped.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, the Qing army defeated North Korea's Jeolla and Chungcheong reinforcements, but the 66-year-old Erfu Yangguli was shot and killed by a North Korean soldier.By the way, that was the North Korean gunner.However, North Korean Li Zhen called himself a minister and pleaded guilty on the grounds of "poor situation and oppressive situation".

Huang Taiji demanded that the ministers of North Korea who provoked the provocation be severely punished, that is, the ministers of North Korea who wanted to kill the relatives of the Ming Dynasty. On the 28th, Li Zhen offered two culprits.

The same Emperor Taiji proposed that the year name of the Ming Dynasty must be removed, ties with the Ming Dynasty should be severed, and the seal of the imperial order granted by the Ming Dynasty should be presented; Establish his proton as heir; from now on, he will respond to Wenyi, enshrine the Qing Dynasty as Zhengshuo, and perform the ceremony of contribution on all festivals.The exchanges of envoys all follow the old rules of the Ming Dynasty.

One thing to pay special attention to is that Huang Taiji also pointed out: When the Qing army has something to attack the Ming country, the number and date of dispatching troops will be correct.Huang Taiji took a fancy to the North Korean musketeer who killed his father-in-law Yang Guli.

Moreover, Huang Taiji also asked North Korea to immediately prepare [-] shotguns, archers, and warships to assist Phi Island; There are fixed numbers of thousands of taels of silver and leather and paper mats.

On the [-]th, the king of North Korea, Li Ji, prostrated himself on the ground in front of Huang Taiji to plead guilty.After the surrender ceremony was held, his eldest son and second son were left as hostages, and the rest of the captured wife's family of more than [-] people were sent back to Beijing.On the second day of the second month of February, Huang Taiji came from North Korea.Since then, the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty and turned Korea into a vassal.North Korea called the Qing Dynasty from the former brothers, and even served as a vassal.

Soon Azige led troops to capture Pidao, and beheaded Ming general Shen Shikui and others, which completely relieved the Qing Dynasty's worries about attacking the pass.

The loss of the vassal state of Korea caused an uproar in the entire Ming Dynasty. Apart from strategic considerations, the Ming Dynasty once again lost face, and Emperor Chongzhen was a little bit tolerant of Wen Tiren's behavior, especially when he found a position. Yang Sichang, who believed that he was the "talent of Zaifu".

So when Wen Tiren took the blame and begged for rest as usual, Wen himself thought that the emperor would come to comfort him.And Zhang Zhifa, who was on duty in the cabinet, originally drafted a condolence purpose in accordance with the previous rules.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen approved the words "let him go" on it.Unprepared Wen Tiren was eating at home. When he heard the news, he panicked for a moment and even dropped the chopsticks in his hand on the ground. (To be continued.
