Chapter 534: After the Yellow Sparrow

Because of the participation of Huang Zongxi, the well-known ancestor master, the fierce and high standard of the newspaper scolding action carried out in Jiangnan and Jingshi is no less than the scolding launched by the Weibo big Vs in later generations.

The spearhead has gradually developed from the beginning of the commercial and trade zones to the Jianghai Cooperative Defense, and to Ning Yuanbo and Li Shouhan, and has gradually developed into a big discussion and debate on whether the Son of Heaven has lost his morality.

In line with the principle that we must support everything that the enemy opposes, and everything that our own people put forward is right, they have come out to write articles to comment on current affairs, from natural disasters for many years, to the wanderers and hungry people everywhere, from the Liaodong anti-thieves who have been unable to calm down for a long time, to the maid at home who has a big belly but the wife does not agree to accept the house, and so on, all of which are summarized into one sentence, "This is determined to be a failure of the government and government, and the Son of Heaven is also immoral!" ”

And Ma Shiying, who started a confrontation with Huang Zongxi, also received fire support from the remnants of the eunuch party. Fang was able to survive in this battle of being outnumbered. However, his reputation is in the mouths of many literati, nearly a hundred years in advance, and he has enjoyed the treatment of Kong Shangren's peach blossom fan.

"Alas! Yaocao, why bother! ”

Zhou Yanru was distressed in Jingshi and handed a copy of the Shuntian Times to Ruan Dacheng, the bearded Ruan Dacheng who had just arrived in the dust.

For the Shuntian Times and Jiangnan Times, the sales volume these days is so good that the printers have almost no time to spare. The daily newspaper ink has not yet dried, and the people who pick up the newspaper everywhere have already blocked the door. The newspaper, which used to be published only once every five or seven days, now has a two-day edition. And it's a constant reprint.

However, the slight difference is that most of the articles in the Shuntian Times are reprinted from the Jiangnan Times, in other words, most of the articles in the Shuntian Times are pirated posts. However, at this time, there is no awareness of copyright, that is, some authors find that they will also be happy in their hearts for their articles to be liked by the masses, and some people are willing to contribute money and efforts to promote themselves, such a thing, they still want it!

But. At this time, Zhou Yanru was bitter and couldn't speak. He originally planned to support Ruan Dacheng, who had contributed a lot to his reinstatement. It's kind of repaying his favor. However, he had a gentleman's covenant with Donglin, and he was not allowed to use the person in the reverse case. And Ruan Dabeard happens to be the person on this blacklist. So, after the two exchanged letters, Ruan Dacheng strongly pushed Ma Shiying to serve as the governor of Fengyang.

But Ma Shiying was fighting with the people of Donglin at this time! How could this allow Zhou Yanru, the grandson, to nominate Ma Shiying as the governor of Fengyang at the cabinet meeting? Ma Shiying seems to have become the spiritual leader of the remnants of the eunuch party at this moment.

If there is scolding, there will be praise. Now Ma Shiying is a piece of eunuch stinking shit who despises human beings in the eyes of the righteous gentlemen of Donglin. For this. Yang Longyou, who was once praised by Donglin as an iron-clad scholar because of the Qinhuai River incident, that is, Ma Shiying's brother-in-law, quietly persuaded Ma Shiying greatly. He also used to mediate back and forth in front of the gentlemen of Donglin, but at this time, the pen and stick battles between the two sides had already been killed, and neither side could retreat.

However, Ma Shiying, the shit in the mouth of the Donglin Party, is a baby pimple in the eyes of the noble eunuchs. It was Ning Yuanbo Li Shouhan, who was far away in Jinan to supervise and suppress thieves, and also wrote to the cabinet and vigorously recommended Ma Shiying to the post of governor of Fengyang.

Moreover, Ning Yuanbo also generously said in the recital that in order to defend Fengyang, the capital of China, and protect Nanjing, the Nanyue Army is willing to allocate a brigade of soldiers and horses to prepare their own food and weapons for Ma Shiying's command. If Ma Shiying has any need after becoming governor, it is incumbent on the Nanyue Army to contribute money and strength to send troops.

However, if the imperial court could not appoint such a talented and virtuous person to an important position, then the Nanyue army intended to ask the imperial court to appoint Ma Shiying as the governor of Liangguang or the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Fujian.

In the sparse play of Shouhan, it is almost impossible to say that it is not to be predicted.

Ning Yuanbo's attitude made the nobles and eunuchs in the capital echo each other from afar. The current nobles of the capital, according to the words of the Donglin gentleman, are basically just a group of lackeys under Ning Yuanbo's door.

However, at this time, in the mansions of the nobles in the capital, there are also headless posts or illegal publications quietly circulating in the study rooms of the princes and uncles.

This headless post, titled From Civil Engineering to Door Grabbing, uses extremely calm strokes to analyze the turbulent waves that almost destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

A hero of the moment, the culprit of eternity.

The article gives Yu Qianxian, an indispensable figure in this turmoil, such a definition.

The original record in the history books is like this: the great eunuch Wang Zhen did not let him first use the loopholes in the tributary system to deceive Zhu Qizhen's reward, so he was also furious first, and then sent troops to attack. Zhu Qizhen was deceived by Wang Zhen and finally captured by Mr. Ye, and the imperial army was annihilated.

Hooray, hooray, hooray!

However, in the analysis of this article, history presents a different picture.

also sent troops to attack Datong first, and Zhu Qizhen drove his own expedition.

As a result, the division was unfavorable, and the army ran out of food!

Isn't it strange to everyone reading this?

The emperor drove the expedition in person, but he was able to run out of food? The possibilities are none other than the following:

First, Renxuan's rule was a pure lie, and the imperial court had no food at all. This is impossible, the emperor is personally conscripted, and it is impossible that he doesn't know that the treasury has no food.

Second, the grain of Renxuan's rule has long been sold out by the minister. This is possible, and it can be explained in this way, after all, the minister did not dare to tell the emperor that all the grain in the treasury had been resold, so he had to cut off the emperor's military rations.

Third, the minister deliberately did not distribute grain and grass!

In short, the result is that the 200,000 troops of the imperial court have completely run out of food, and if there is no food, then there will be no way to fight.

However, the retreat route is even more criticized. Originally, it was to retreat back to the capital through Wei County. As a result, he was delayed in the middle of the round-trip and was chased by the cavalry of Yexian. So the army was annihilated, and the emperor was captured. The reason for the delay was that Wang Zhen's hometown was Wei County, and he was worried that the brigade would trample on the seedlings and crops in his field when they passed by his hometown.

But wait! Wei County is where the nine sides are located, which is now the Zhangjiakou area, and in September, where are the crops and seedlings in the field?

And from Datong, along the current Zhangjiakou through Ulzhou, you can soon reach Beijing.

This road, first, is a short distance. It's not easy to catch up with first. Second, if you are in the hinterland, you can't beat it first.

However, forty miles were walked. The army left Xuanfu again. Then there was the change of the civil fort.

Could it be that Wang Zhen is a fool? He didn't know that at this time, Xuanfu, Datong, and Xuanda regions were fighting with Yexian? Eager to retreat to Beijing, he went north from Wei County to Xuanfu Huailai on the front line, and hit the knife edge of Yexian?

And this one way. From Huai to Yanqing, and then to Changping, to cross Badaling. Mountains. The army was slow, and this was not at all a good route to escape.

Let's take a look at the records in the history books first!

On August 27, the 14th year of Orthodoxy, the emperor led a large army to Xuanfu, and then continued to run wildly to Beijing, until two days were uneventful, but on the morning of August 30, things changed.

On the morning of August 30, the Xuanfu sent someone to deliver the news that Meng Yuan had sent an army to attack the rear road of the army. Zhu Qizhen immediately reacted, sending Wu Kezhong to lead 30,000 cavalry to break off, and the whole army was annihilated. The next day, Zhu Qizhen arrived at Tumubao, and then found that the water source had been cut off by Yexian's army.

In the end, with no water and no food, only 100,000 of the 200,000 troops (only more than 100,000 remained) escaped, and half of the battle losses were high.

This is the history of the civil fort, so let's take a look at what is greasy in this.

First of all, at the beginning.

As soon as the emperor went out, the ministers of the court cut off the emperor's military rations, which was to force the emperor to death, but the emperor was not panicked, he still had an army, as long as he went back, he could turn the situation back, so retreat was inevitable.

It is inevitable to go south to the Bauhinia Pass, that is, Ulzhou, the first distance is short, the second is in the hinterland, and the third is mountainous, which is not conducive to the cavalry of the first. When Zhu Qizhen retreated, the monoliths under the Xuanfu had already fallen, but the ministers of the Ming Dynasty did not inform Zhu Qizhen of this information, that is to say, Zhu Qizhen went to Xuanfu, although it was not as good as taking the Bauhinia Pass, but it was absolutely safe.

Strange things happen.

When Zhu Qizhen passed by Xuanfu, the Mongolian army was not there, which was wrong, and when Zhu Qizhen crossed Xuanfu, the Mongolian army suddenly attacked the back road, which surrounded Zhu Qizhen.

And the commander who surrounded Zhu Qizhen was actually Ye Xian himself, not his general Ah Ra!

Then a couple more questions come out.

First, he also retreated first, and Zhu Qizhen didn't know it! Second, he also retreated first, and Guo Deng actually did not pursue.

Second, how did the Mongol army cross Xuanfu?

Since the monolith has fallen, Zhu Qizhen's army should have discovered it when it passed by, but the fact is that Zhu Qizhen didn't know about it from beginning to end. That is to say, when Zhu Qizhen passed through Xuanfu, the Mongolian army had already withdrawn, but Zhu Qizhen had just passed, and the Mongolian army returned. Even if this road is a highway during holidays, you don't need to get a card to pay the fee, at least it will cause temporary traffic congestion, right? But why did the Mongol army come and go so freely?

Third, why is he more familiar with the local terrain than Zhu Qi Town?

According to historical records, when Zhu Qizhen withdrew to Tumubao, he had already occupied the water source, which was wrong. Tumubao is located in Huailai County, a step away from Beijing, this place is not the front line, and it is impossible to be so familiar with the local area in the first place.

Fourth, the Xuanda army disappeared.

also withdrew the troops from Datong first, and united with Arato surround Zhuqi Town, that is to say, the siege of Datong has been lifted, and at the same time, Xuanfu is no longer attacked, and the famous Menglianggu Battle was formed at this time.

also surrounded Zhu Qizhen first, but the back road was cut off by Guo Deng and Yang Hong, as long as Guo Deng and others learned Zhang Lingfu's strategy, it would be completely finished first, but in fact, Guo Deng imitated Li Tianxia, and Guo Deng was more ruthless than Li Tianxia, Li Tianxia sent a regiment, Guo Deng didn't send a single ant at all, and Yang Hong didn't send a single soldier except for sending a messenger.

In other words, the change in Tumubao was a scandal from beginning to end in which the defenders of Xuanda colluded to kill the monarch first!

So, who exactly planned this scandal?

There is a motive or conditions for committing the crime. There is only one person, and that is Yu Qianyu Shaobao, who is known as being crushed and not afraid to leave his innocence in the world!

Don't rush to shoot bricks! We have the evidence to speak.

Where's the evidence? There are three points that prove Yu Qian to be the most suspicious.

First, Xuanda turned out to be Yu Qian's territory.

Yu Qian has been serving as the governor of Xuanda, and only entered Beijing to serve as a squire in the military department in the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, and in the second year, he also committed a border first.

Second, I am also familiar with the topography of Xuanda University.

This article directly refers to Yu Qian, except for Yu Qian, no one else has time to collude with Yu Qian, so that he is familiar with the local terrain first.

Third. The royal car is out of food.

At that time, the grain and grass required by the army was dispatched by the military department. Don't make a mistake, this matter is not under the control of the Ministry of Households. And Yingzong's Northern Expedition took away the military department's Shangshu. At that time, the head of the military department was Yu Qian.

Other words. Yu Qian was promoted from Xuanda to the head of the military department. In the second year, he also invaded the border first, and then Yingzong led his army north, because Qian provided grain and grass. But Yu Qian cut off Yingzong's military rations, and then Yingzong found that he was more familiar with his own territory than himself, and the defenders of Xuanda invariably refused to rescue him.

Except for Yu Qian, who can do it?

In addition to Yu Qian's evidence, the article also cites the chronology and notes of several civil officials who accompanied the expedition as circumstantial evidence. Although these people have different official positions, departments, resumes, and origins, they all invariably ask their colleagues and friends one thing before going on the expedition. Write an epitaph or a memorial to yourself! This is clearly knowing that there is death and no life in this place! You have to settle the rhythm of the aftermath first!

Now that he has the conditions and the motive for committing the crime, what is the purpose of his crime? Obviously, he did not want to change the dynasty, but his goal was to change the power structure of the court.

The power structure of the Daming court, under the tossing and turning of Zhu Di's good grandson Zhu Zhanji's classmates, gradually changed from the dominance of the three Yang when his father was alive to the situation where the emperor encircled the eunuchs and the Xungui group to fight against the Chinese officials of the dynasty. And for a long time, the situation reached a very delicate balance.

And the purpose of Yu Qian's actions is to break this balance.

In this war, the emperor suffered a loss, became a prisoner of the Tartars, and his reputation plummeted, although he was lucky to regain the throne, but his reputation was no longer what it used to be. And the eunuch was even more regarded as a target, and he was saddled with a thousand-year-old black cauldron. And the Xungui Group, Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong, a group of old ministers, have been damaged one after another, and they have become tablets in the Martyrs' Shrine in Tumubao, and the power of the Xungui Group has suddenly been broken. (If you have the opportunity, you can go to the small village of civil engineering, there is still a martyr's shrine in it, which enshrines the tablets of the ministers who died in the civil engineering change, almost all of them are nobles, and even if there are civil officials, they are very low-level figures.) )

The emperor's strength plummeted, the strength of the eunuch group almost fell to a low point, and the Xungui group was not accepted, so what about the civil official group in the court?

Faced with this embarrassing situation, the newly appointed Zhu Qiyu could do nothing but rely on literati. At this point, the general trend was irreversible, and the civil officials completely replaced the nobles and eunuchs to become the rulers of the Ming Empire, and they also learned the lesson of Yu Qian's killing.

This headless post quietly appeared on the desks of the nobles and the big eunuchs in the palace almost overnight, and at first frightened these people into a cold sweat. The headless post in their hands was almost as hot as a red-hot iron pellet, making them want to throw it out in the first place.

However, the existence of zài determines consciousness. As the heirs of the nobles and eunuchs who lost in this game, they still read this article carefully with suspicion, and some even found a map at that time to corroborate, and the more they looked at it, the more creepy they felt!

It turned out that the group of gentle civil officials in the court in the past were so ruthless and vicious in private!

This grave digging sticker is tantamount to uncovering the scars of the nobles, pointing to the bloody rotten flesh on it and telling them that the great enemy who killed their ancestors was not the Warat cavalry, but their colleagues in the court!

And the eunuchs, from Wang Dehua, Wang Chengen to Wu Liangfu, are all worried in their hearts, it turns out that the ancestor Wei Gonggong treated Donglin like that also had his bitterness!

The nobles and eunuch groups, who had gained huge economic benefits from various trades with the Nanyue army, looked at the silver dollars in their hands, and then looked at the actions of the ancestors of the civil officials, the more they looked at Ning Yuanbo and Li Shouhan, who were scolded by the Jiangnan literati in the newspapers, the more they felt that they were natural allies.

"My lord, according to your orders, we have quietly sent the post to the nobles and eunuchs in the capital. The subordinates made their own decisions, and ordered someone to quietly put a copy in Chongzhen's imperial study, so that he could see who he should believe! ”

In Jinan, he had just completed the relationship between the two major groups of Xungui and eunuchs and the civil official group from the Beijing Division, oh, no, it was the intelligence leader who was tasked with debunking the civilian official group and the scholars, and he stood in front of Shouhan with a slight pride and told about the completion of the mission.

"If he can distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and still relies on the lord, we will protect his country, if you can't see clearly, and plan to play some checks and balances there, let's sue him, beware of you ending up with your ancestor!"

Emperor Chongzhen and his cabinet opened the Shuntian Times in the capital, and reprinted a large number of Jiangnan Shilin's words scolding the Nanyue Army.

This is because Chongzhen and the cabinet are worried that their Nanyue army will not be able to fall, and they will use the tools of public opinion to beat it. It's ridiculous! When Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong and others killed the thieves, they took the risk of killing and collapsing, and they didn't listen to the command, escaped from the battle, and plundered the state and county, this kind of thing, this kind of army, why didn't they think of rectifying it? My Nanyue army is such a loyal and brave army, but it is so suspicious of you, it seems that I don't give you a little bit of power, you don't know that Lao Tzu is a traverser!

"Lord, Miss Li from Jiangnan sent someone to ask for instructions, she said that this group of scholars is really making trouble at the moment, and if she continues to scold like this, it will damage the reputation of the lord. She plans to temporarily close the Jiangnan Times for a period of time, and there will be no place to publish articles, so that such poor literati will no longer make trouble. ”

"So why bother?!" Shouhan smiled evilly and replied to the wooden tooth dog's Jianyì. Although Jiangnan Times is under the care of Li Zhenli, it is run by him Li Shouhan's money. Therefore, Li Zhenli's attitude of asking him is also the meaning of the question.

In this way, the group of poor sours has more to say, saying that we can't debate, so they use their power to overwhelm others. but he has given him a handle. You send someone to tell Miss Li that from now on, anyone other than a Jiangnan Times reporter who wants to publish an article in the newspaper will have his expenses tripled. The extra money was the fat powder money that Ben Bo gave her. ”

A sinister smile radiated from Shouhan's eyes.

"Also, you will inform the two gangs of Yancao and Cao and quietly check which people are waving their flags behind their backs to slander our Nanyue Army."

"My men understand! After checking it out, the subordinate ...... "The wooden tooth dog gestured very elegantly with his index finger on his neck."

"Nope. One, you quietly tell Miss Li that all the rats who received the anointing silver in her hands and jumped up and down in this tide stopped his food and rice. Lao Tzu doesn't have so much food to feed his enemies! Second, dirty work, let the people of the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang do it. But remember, scattered, I don't want them to die, I want them to live to suffer. Live to watch us create a Lang Lang Qiankun that makes them miserable! ”

Sent away the wooden tooth dog, Shouhan was a little stunned, thinking about Li Zhenli's mother and daughter in Jiangnan for a while, and thinking about Qimuge's mother and daughter in the back house. In the second place, he was disturbed by Abatai, who had been flowing back and forth between the canal and the Yellow River several times, and the thoughts in his mind were chaotic and noisy, so he simply stood up and looked at the military map of Liaodong on the wooden frame.

"I don't know how it's going on with Erya!" (To be continued......)
