vs 207 The immediate cause of Yuan Chonghuan's fall
Although Zhao Shujiao used muskets to win surprisingly, and the muskets shone brightly and defeated the Houjin army, as Yan Changwu thought, it was difficult to deal with the Houjin cavalry after all, that is, the outcome was difficult to change.
The Houjin cavalry is very elite, good at light cavalry interspersed, hundreds of miles a day and night, scattered and gathered, guerrilla harassment, into the encirclement without being surprised, hitting heavy soldiers without fear, is the use of skillful tactics since the time of the old slave (Nurhachi).
If you have a strong city and a strong musket, then I will not fight you, I will hit your weak spots, run everywhere, and let you burn everywhere!
Previously surprised, the Houjin cavalry suffered a big loss to the musketeers, Huang Taiji fined Azigma 100, sheep 300, Houjin generals took it as a warning.
Later, seeing the musketeers of the Ming army, the Houjin cavalry took a detour, and the musketeers could no longer achieve major results.
The Guanning army led by Yuan Chonghuan rushed to Jizhou, and Chongzhen put Yuan Chonghuan in charge of unifying the command of the Qinwang troops who came from all over the country to fight with the Houjin.
They came very quickly and were prepared.
But where are the main forces of the enemy?
I don't know!
Huang Taiji actively dispatched troops and attacked everywhere, Yuan Chonghuan's army had just arrived in Jizhou, but he heard that the Shanhaiguan Pass on the back road was attacked!
Later, the Jin army pulled out and moved to An, and went down to Luanzhou. began to attack Funing, Zu Dashou's subordinate guerrilla Zu Kefa led four battalions of soldiers and horses to hold Funing, two days did not fall, and then the Jin army turned to Shanhaiguan.
A small number of cavalry were sent to lure the battle many times, and suddenly rushed out from Shanwan, and the infantry rushed to Shanhaiguan after being pressed by the front horsemen. At that time, stationed on the front line of Shanhaiguan was the deputy general Weixian, who led more than 2,500 officers and soldiers to resist, and the artillery fired in unison, from noon to 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening, the Qing soldiers were never able to get close to the city, and the night was dark, and the Qing army had to retreat to Funing County.
Seen in the record of the death of Yang Kaitai here, Shanhaiwei Baihu, Yang Kaitai led the general detective to the west of Yuguan, encountered enemy shooting, and died.
When Zu Kefa, the general of Funing, learned that the Qing soldiers had returned to Funing, he designed to meet the battle with horsemen and set up an ambush for the infantry. In Shuangwang, the Qing army exchanged fire and led the Qing army into an ambush circle, and finally the Qing army successfully broke through with iron cavalry, and Zu Kefa led the troops to chase to the eighteen miles and returned. Since then, Funing and Shanhaiguan have been preserved.
Then, more than 7,000 soldiers and horses of the Houjin army marched into Changli, first burned all the houses outside the city, wantonly plundered the gold and silk of their children, and "captured tens of thousands of people, driving them like cattle and horses."
Due to the rampant Rampant Rangers of the Later Jin Army, they attacked and killed the Ming army scouts, resulting in the Ming army's lack of information, and in desperation, Yuan Chonghuan had to make a faint move.
Ordinary people have to take back their five fingers when they fight, clench them into fists and beat people, only in the martial arts novels of Jin Yong, Gu Long and others and Stephen Chow's nonsensical movies, there are nine yin white white bone claws, eight coats and chain palms, such as the magic palm of the gods. However, it is not only Stephen Chow who is nonsensical, in the change of his own life, Yuan Chonghuan stretched out his fingers and hit a "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flower Palm" comparable to the "Divine Palm".
Yuan Chonghuan should have gathered troops to block the enemy from Jizhou to Tongzhou, and closed the door and beat the dogs to ensure the safety of the capital, but he scattered all kinds of reinforcements to other places for defense, so that the people were in a hurry in the future and went in a hurry.
Yuan Chonghuan's deployment was: Zhao led the teaching to keep Zunhua; General Soldier Zhu Mei and Deputy General Soldier Xu Fu played the Shanhaiguan; Staff General Yang Chun Shou Yongping, Guerrilla Manku Shou Qian'an, Dusi Liu Zhenhua Shou Jianchang, Staff General Zou Zongwu Shou Fengrun, Guerrilla Cai Yu Shou Yutian, Changping General You Shiwei returned to the original place to garrison, Xuanfu Hou Shilu guarded Sanhe, Yuan Chonghuan himself led Baoding General Cao Leiming, Liaodong General Soldier Zu Dashou stationed in Jizhou, intercepted in the center.
As a result, Qian'an Luanzhou Yongping lost one after another, and even Sun Chengzong, the veteran commander who was the best at dispersing troops, could not stand the deployment of Yuan Chonghuan's scattered troops, and he believed that Yuan Chonghuan's defense line was too contracted, You Shiwei returned to Changping, and Hou Shilu's deployment of garrisoning Tongzhou was improper.
……
In the deep palace, Emperor Zhu Youzhen suddenly woke up from his dream!
He had a nightmare about a tree with a crooked neck!
It was very eerie and terrifying, there was a person hanging on it, dressed in white, Zhu Youzhen felt that the person's body shape was very familiar, the wind blew the person and turned around, revealing a miserable white face, Zhu Youzhen shouted, isn't this himself!
Then he woke up sweating profusely and shouted, "Someone! ”
"The old slave is here!" But it was the eldest companion Wang Chengen, who was on duty this night.
I wiped off the sweat for him, changed my clothes, and just stopped, but I heard a commotion.
Originally, the forbidden palace was so heavy that foreign voices should not be heard at all, but they were heard......
"Ome, go check and see what's going on!" Zhu Youzhen commanded.
Wang Chengen came back soon, it turned out that he happened to receive an urgent report to the palace, and he said in a trembling voice: "The northern captives are outside the city, they are coming!" ”
"What?" Zhu Youzhen held a cup of tea in his hand and fell to the ground without knowing it, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and saying: "Yuan Chonghuan misled the country!" ”
Previously, Emperor Chongzhen had been suspicious of Yuan Chonghuan, he was worried that Yuan Chonghuan would "lure the enemy deeper", and asked Yuan Chonghuan's troops not to cross Jizhou one step, Yuan Chonghuan promised the emperor that "the enemy will not let the enemy go over Jixi", but he broke his promise and fattened himself, and soon, Huang Taiji went directly through the dangerous Jimen Pass without any obstruction, and drove to Jingdong, and even trapped Yutian, Sanhe, Xianghe, Shunyi and other counties, and reached the city of Beiping!
The Ming Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, people have almost forgotten the threat of foreign invaders, this time the Jin siege forced the Beijing division like a drop of water fell into the oil pot, the Ming Dynasty suddenly boiled, everyone felt the crisis in front of them, inside and outside the capital, public opinion was in an uproar, the whole world thought that Yuan Chonghuan intended to set up with the enemy, no one could stand him, and he was determined to have the emperor's grace!
……
Later, the Jin soldiers besieged Beiping, and Yuan Chonghuan also arrived, he traveled long distances with soldiers and horses, and was exhausted, and asked to enter the city to rest, but was refused.
So Yuan Chonghuan garrisoned outside the city and fought fiercely with the Houjin army, winning and losing each other.
Yuan Chonghuan ordered Dai Chengen to line up in Guangqumen, Zu Dashou in the south, Wang Chengyin in the northwest, Yuan Chonghuan in the west to prepare for battle, at noon, the Qing cavalry attacked from the southeast, Zu Dashou led his troops to fight hard, and Wang Chengyin pulled out the formation to the south to avoid the battle. The Later Jin army fought against Zu Dashou, so he retreated, and the Ming generals Liu Yingguo, Luo Jingrong and others led their troops to pursue, killing and wounding more than 1,000 people in the Later Jin army, and the Ming army also suffered many casualties.
After collecting the troops, Zhu Youzhen rewarded the army with wine and food. Yuan Chonghuan sent Ren Shouzhong to lead 500 men to bombard the Jin camp with artillery, and the Jin army retreated, and the danger in Kyoto was resolved.
……
But after the Jin army retreated, Yuan Chonghuan was punished. At the beginning, the pass that the Houjin army entered was under the jurisdiction of Liu Ce, the prime minister of Jiliao, and Yuan Chonghuan learned that the Houjin army entered the pass and approached the capital, so he rushed all the way to the rescue, thinking that he was not guilty, but many people in the court and the central ministers thought that Yuan Chonghuan let the Qing soldiers enter the customs, so they slandered Yuan Chonghuan and the Houjin army for collusion, and Zhu Youzhen was also very suspicious of this. At this time, the Hou Jin Army also designed a discord, saying that Yuan Chonghuan and the Hou Jin Army had a secret agreement.
In December, Zhu Youzhen sent Yuan Chonghuan to prison.
Wei Zhongxian's widows, Wang Yongguang, Gao Jie, Yuan Hongxun, Shi Yu and others wanted to take the opportunity to avenge Wei Zhongxian, and convicted Yuan Chonghuan of death on two charges of negotiating peace with the Houjin army and killing Mao Wenlong without authorization (this kind of thing violated the emperor's taboo).
Yu Shi Gaojie wrote a letter to impeach Qian Longxi and Yuan Chonghuan for colluding with each other, and after some arguments, Qian Longxi was forced to resign.
It's not that the remnants of the eunuch party are powerful, they have long been outdated. But the ministers Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru both wanted to solve Qian Longxi, but Qian Longxi was cautious and powerful, it was very difficult to eradicate him, and it was a coincidence that he had a good relationship with Yuan Chonghuan, and this time it happened that Yuan Chonghuan had an accident again, so as long as Yuan Chonghuan and Qian Longxi were put together, Qian Longxi was dragged into the water with Yuan Chonghuan's crime. There are only two words for everything: "power". (Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru actually don't want to get rid of Yuan Chonghuan, after all, it's really that Beiyu didn't retreat and get rid of their own general)
Dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair! This is a partisan dispute!
There is no right or wrong, as long as it is my people, it is right, and those who are not mine will all step down.
Who is Qian Longxi?
Cabinet Scholar, Vice-Auxiliary (Executive Vice Prime Minister level), Powerful Faction!
During the time of Emperor Zhuang Lie (that is, Chongzhen), he was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, a prince and a scholar, and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. Li Biao is the first assistant, Long Xi and Liu Hongxun are assistants, and the government is slightly clearer. Most of the trials of Wei Zhongxian's rebellion were presided over by him, and the traitors hated him to the core. (Yuan Chonghuan didn't offend Gonggong Wei, he was at a low level at the time and had no qualifications)
Qian Longxi strongly recommended Yuan Chonghuan as the commander of the Northeast Guanning (now Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan) army to consolidate the border defense. When Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, he was impeached for conspiring with Yuan Chonghuan to overstep his authority and kill ministers without permission.
Because Yuan Chonghuan is a border marshal, and Qian Longxi is a cabinet minister, according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, if the border marshal colludes with close ministers, he will definitely die!
The fall of Qian Longxi shows that Yuan Chonghuan has no one in the court, how can he not be unlucky!
Before, he beheaded Mao Wenlong, saying that he had someone in the court, and he was not afraid!
When Qian Longxi goes to work, Yuan Chonghuan's fate is doomed, he has no one in the court, and everyone pushes the wall!
Party strife, the scourge of pond fish!
In August of the third year of Chongzhen (1630), Yuan Chonghuan was executed by Ling Chi, and his family was exiled for 3,000 miles, and his property was confiscated.
Qian Longxi was implicated in the Yuan case and was sentenced to death, and some ministers tried their best to intercede with Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Sizong to exempt him from the death penalty, but he was also imprisoned. As a result, Qian Longxi was imprisoned for a long time. Later, he was assigned to guard the sea guard.
……
The giant wheel of history is turning, what kind of person is Yuan Chonghuan? What role did he play in the change of his own life? Did Emperor Chongzhen wronged him? Is he a national hero or a problem figure? There are many opinions, but there is no end in the end.
Even Yan Changwu, who was in the local area, was confused about this matter, and after he won the country, he sent Qi Bansun (the son of the famous anti-Qing general Qi Biaojia) to investigate the matter thoroughly, spending a lot of manpower and financial resources, and came to the conclusion that "it is suspected that Chonghuan will be captured in the north, and the matter is unwarranted!" ”
Huang Huang said, what a "unnecessary!" ”
This is the second unwarranted occurrence in history, the last one appeared in the Song Dynasty.
You are not afraid of leaving a name in history, I am still afraid, Yan Changwu said angrily: "I am not Song Gaozong, you are not Qin Hui, and Yuan Chonghuan is not Yue Fei!" ”
Qi Bansun said hesitantly: "You have no jokes! (Yuan Chonghuan is not Yue Fei either!) But Yan Changwu admitted it himself)
Yan Changwu: "......", he said stupidly: "Ah, ah, I've been recruited!" ”
So the civil officials have two mouths, cunning enough! Even if you really have to be careful!
