[1073 Mao Wenlong is indeed great]
"What you're talking about, that's too far apart. Can the second lady be the same as the third lady? The second lady has the opportunity to replace the eldest lady at any time. And there is one missing, my family Jin Feng has to call Wu Xiang's daughter sister when she sees her. Mao Wenlong said dissatisfied.
Wei Bao smiled, "Mao Shuai, I didn't think about it so much at the time. But I can guarantee that Jin Feng must be the most favored by my side, and if there is any good thing, I will definitely follow Jin Feng. After all, I do owe something to Jin Feng. ”
Mao Wenlong heard Wei Bao say this, and his anger was a little smoother.
"Xiaobao, my father is not a calculating, nor is he an unreasonable person. Dad is such a kinsman as Jinfeng, can you understand Daddy's love for his daughter? Mao Wenlong said emotionally.
Wei Bao smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I can understand." rushed out 100,000 taels of gold and 3 million taels of high-grade silver, and no one in the entire Ming Dynasty could do it except Mao Shuai! ”
When Mao Wenlong heard Wei Bao say this, he became happy, nodded and said: "At my age, I am almost fifty years old, and I already know the destiny of heaven, and the Ming court and the emperor will not be able to promote me anymore, it has come to an end." As for the money and the land, it's useless for me to ask for so much, and my future will not be yours. So dad has thought about it, as long as Jin Feng and you are willing to recognize me, I will give you everything! ”
Wei Bao was a little excited when he heard Mao Wenlong say this, and he was very moved.
Wei Bao secretly thought that Lao Tzu, the old man who has not seen the light, is righteous enough, is this planning to hand over the Dongjiang Army power group to me? He himself only has a name?
If this comes true, it will be a great thing for Wei Bao.
Wei Bao knew that Jiannu was built so quickly, especially during the Huang Taiji period.
This has a lot to do with the fact that Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, and the Dongjiang Army became an establishment and took refuge in Jiannu.
The traitors of the Dongjiang River are close to the water, and the rebellion becomes early.
In later generations, many people made Guanning and Dongjiang seem to be distinct, but in fact, the Ming Dynasty people did not distinguish so clearly at all.
Wu Sangui, Zu Dashou, and King Sanshun, including Huang Degong, are all Liao, and they are not hostile or agree with each other.
The four major rebel generals of the Dongjiang River, there are six pairs of enemies among the four of them.
Shang Kexi once intercepted Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming.
Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming led the way for the Qing army to capture Lushun and killed Shang Kexi's family.
Shen Zhixiang's uncle Shen Shikui is still gratifying.
Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi led the way for the Qing army to attack Phi Island and kill Shen Shikui, and Geng Zhongming also invaded Kong Youde's population.
And Zhang Pengyi, who was also from Dongjiang, joined Wu Sangui's command, and until Wu Sangui rebelled, he also cooperated well with Guan Ningjun.
The concept of Liao people is not clear, for example, Huang Degong, although he is from Liaodong, but he has been fighting in the Guannei most of the time, and few people regard him as a Liao.
Although Liu Liangchen is not from Liaodong, he is from Shanxi, but because he has been serving in Liaodong since joining the army, he is considered to be a Liao.
Zhang Pengyi is a native of Zhejiang, but he has lived in Liaodong since he was a child, and Li Mingzhong, who is also from Dongjiang, is a native of Shandong.
There are many traitors among the Liao people, but there are also many martyrs among the Liao people, such as Zhao Shujiao, Liu Zhaoji, Yu Chengming, Li Ketai, He Kegang, Wu Gongqing, Liu Qu, Qi Bingzhong, Luo Yiyi, and Hei Yunhe, who are also heroes.
Mutinies were a common phenomenon in the Ming army, and there was no need to compare the number of mutinies in which region or which army.
Although Mao Wenlong is the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, there are many generals, deputy generals, guerrillas, and generals under the army.
People of this level may be just a name in the history books, but in reality, who dares to say that they play soy sauce.
Even if it's soy sauce, it still adds up to soy sauce?
If they generally felt that there was no future in surrendering to the Manchus, and Mao Wenlong wanted to surrender to the Manchus, he would definitely be killed by these people every minute.
Wei Bao doesn't like to analyze history with a heroic view of history, because it is inevitable that he will think intentionally or unintentionally that except for the number one, everyone else is playing soy sauce.
Therefore, it is believed that the Dongjiang Army listened to Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong listened to Chen Jisheng after his death, Chen Jisheng listened to Liu Xingzhi after his death, Liu Xingzhi listened to Huanglong after he was killed, and listened to Shen Shikui after Huanglong died.
These are all fancies.
In reality, officials crush people to death, but if the decision-making of the official's boss obviously infringes on the interests of the people below, few people will really obey him unconditionally.
If his decision-making is only to infringe on a person's interests, it is estimated that that person will endure no matter how angry that person is.
But if he doesn't know each other, and the infringement is not on the interests of one person, but on many people, this boss will definitely come to an end.
For power to be maintained, it needs the general support of the members of the group.
Position, status, is only superficial.
Mao Wenlong was able to control the Dongjiang army forcefully because every decision he made represented the general interests of the local military and people, and he was more able to win the general support of the Dongjiang army and people.
In fact, Mao Wenlong himself was very sober, and he was cut off his nose and leg every minute when he was not sober.
In the early years of Chongzhen, Wu Zhiwang, who once served as the governor of Denglai, attacked Mao Wenlong for being greedy for money and lustful.
And Mao Wenlong replied like this in the note to Chongzhen: "The ministers read it carefully, and the filthy ministers are greedy for money and lustful for a few money, let me ask where did Wufu come from?" Whew, whew! In the swords, guns, swords, and halberds of the courtier's residence, eight are here! Fruit greed, fruit prostitution, fruit through slaves, this generation of short-haired Liao people, who is good? The minister has long been the morning dew, and he will not wait for Wu Fu to poison today. The filthy ministers have encroached on the gold and rewarded themselves, and the ministers have already cleared the money and grain, so they can be without argument. ”
Just one sentence "Fruit greed, fruit prostitution, fruit through slaves, this generation of short-haired Liao people, who is good?" The ministers have long been the morning dew, and they will not wait for the military to poison today", which shows a problem, Mao Wenlong understands too well in his heart: the cabinet ministers are not afraid, and the small people are never light!
What are the hundreds of thousands of people in Dongjiang Town, Phi Island.
North Korea is called fake Tartar, all of them are people who escaped from Houjin through the ghost gate, North Koreans said at the beginning that fake Tartar is capricious, you Mao Wenlong took them in is not equivalent to looking for their own death?
How did Mao Wenlong answer, he replied, if I Mao Wenlong thinks about my own life, I will not be able to come to this place at all, if I succeed, it is the luck of the people of the world, if I fail, it is the misfortune of the world, as for myself, I don't think about it.
Lack of food and salary, is it a matter of course to manage hundreds of thousands?
Mao Wenlong is roasting himself in the sea of swords, fire, and fire, and putting him in a desperate situation.
Therefore, Wei Bao never thought that Mao Wenlong was blessed in Dongjiang.
In fact, Mao Wenlong has been active in the rear of Houjin for nearly eight years, not to mention the surrender of Houjin, it is not easy to embezzle some military salaries.
In the past eight years, if he embezzled, he embezzled the military salaries that should have been paid to the Liao people, and left the soldiers and refugees in the Dongjiang River unclothed and hungry, struggling on the line of hunger and cold, and the line of life and death.
Let the subordinates force the people to dig ginseng, and they will not be allowed to cross the sea, and starve to death on the island, while he himself uses the military salary obtained from corruption to squander it wantonly, enjoy luxury, and be surrounded by beautiful women.
It's really a miracle that Mao Wenlong wasn't killed by the mutiny!
These shaved Liao people who desperately resisted and fled from the clutches of the Houjin Devil to Dongjiang Phi Island, which one of them is a good stubble that is easy to bully, and a soft persimmon that can be fooled.
People defected to me, and they definitely didn't want to be slaves on the other side of Jiannu anymore.
A group of people in the face of a major crisis, even when life and death are at stake.
In itself, all individuals are obliged to make certain sacrifices for the group.
And the group also has the right to force individuals to make certain sacrifices for the group in some way.
In this context, it is certainly in line with abstract morality for the group to force individuals to make sacrifices.
At least, in this context, it is a bit pale to say anything about why the interests of some people have to be sacrificed in order for the group to avoid major crises and losses.
In fact, the end of the Ming Dynasty ended because no one was willing to sacrifice.
When the whole country was facing a huge crisis, and even life and death, the emperor asked everyone to pay, and some people dared to shout that the emperor must not force everyone to donate, and also killed the five princes, which scared Chongzhen so much that he did not dare to continue.
If the country is in difficulty, it has money and life, and since the top level is unwilling to pay, why should the grassroots have to pay their lives.
It's no wonder that the Ming Dynasty doesn't finish playing.
The minister is really favored by the country, and he can't bear to unload the burden, so he kills himself to finish the Liao affair. Looking at the end of March today, the grain will be a grain in the future, the salary will not reach a point, crying disease, white bones are full of ditches, and there are more than those who slander the ministers, and the ministers are also in love with this desperate island, and the slander is also ruined.
This is before Yuan Chonghuan wanted to kill Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong cried with blood, which changed the color of heaven and earth, and the reader was moved.
And the resentment and despair revealed between the lines, sadness and helplessness all jumped on the page.
It seems that people see a Dongjiang army struggling on the line of life and death, but there is no glimmer of hope.
How to save the lives of tens of thousands of Dongjiang soldiers has become Mao Wenlong's top priority.
At that time, Mao Wenlong knew very well that all this was for him!
The ministers alone plan to eliminate the ministers, regardless of the slaves, and give the country a quick personal anger and a fight in the same room!
Yuan Chonghuan cut off food and wages from the Dongjiang River for eight months, and 100,000 people starved to death.
Set up the Dongjiang Salary Division in Ningyuan, and prohibit the entry of merchant ships into the market. There is a great hunger on the island, and the bones are white.
Mao Wenlong felt that his time was running out, so he wrote to his wife Yongjue, there is a strong enemy outside and a minister inside, and he will die soon.
Mao was already dying at this time, and he didn't want to see hundreds of thousands of refugees die because of him again.
"The heart is like ashes, and it is not in love, because the grace of God has not been repaid."
He repeatedly condemned the ministers, knowing that it would be dangerous to offend them, but for the sake of the frontier war, he had to say.
"The job is often neglected, not because I don't know how to offend the courtiers, so I want to speed up my duties, but my dedication is only to seal the territory. How can you give up more than 100,000 living beings and die because of one person? ”
Mao Wenlong even knew that the embargo would only be lifted if he died, which means that Mao knew that Yuan might fake the holy decree, but he was still willing to die.
In fact, it is true, after Mao Wenlong's death, Yuan Chonghuan said in the chapter, "Wenlong is punished, and the island needs rice very urgently, and it will be sent quickly." ”
In this specific environment of facing the great hunger on the island, wild vegetables are fed.
If Mao Wenlong chooses to sacrifice his own interests, as soon as he hears Yuan Chonghuan's claim that he was ordered to kill people, he takes the initiative to accept the guilt and ask for death, then he can clear the suspicion of secession of the Dongjiang Army and eliminate the estrangement between the monarch and the minister, and the Dongjiang Army will have the opportunity to continue to apply for food and salary, and the interests of the group can be guaranteed.
As he wrote in the Tang Daily: The ministers thought of the mutiny and died, and they died without the law, and people still laughed at the uselessness of the ministers. The minister dared to inscribe: The sea must not be banned, and then he died before an army, and he could replace more than 100,000 living beings.
If Mao Wenlong chose to protect his own interests and stepped forward to slaughter Yuan Chonghuan with a knife, Mao Wenlong would naturally live.
It's just that the Dongjiang Army is completely wearing the hat of a rebel, and this group will never receive food and salary again in the future, and both the country and the local military and civilians will suffer heavy losses and even annihilation.
In this context, I believe that no one will say bluntly that for the sake of the rations of the Dongjiang army and civilians, Mao Wenlong, the wise and great general soldier, must sacrifice his life.
I didn't say that everyone had no right to force General Mao to sacrifice himself.
In this case, if Mao Wenlong chooses to protect his interests at this time, what kind of results will he face.
In fact, Mao Wenlong himself knows very well that he knows that his limit has arrived, and when people are about to die, they often fall into memories: it is difficult to do today's facts, the minister's enthusiasm is cold, and his life is in danger. Every time I look at myself by the forest, I fight seven times a day, and now I live for a few more years, and I will die even if I die. I just don't want to be like the story of Fuchen, and there are criticisms in the back of it.
Mao Wenlong can make a final struggle in the face of Yuan Chonghuan's claim that the emperor will give him death. But what is the result of the struggle.
Shuangdao slaughtered Yuan Chonghuan, and then bloodied Denglai, which may be able to overturn the Ming Empire at that time.
In this way, it is possible to escape from death; Even if you can't escape from death, you can drag a large number of enemies and comrades into the water before you die.
Now, hand over your own head.
If the bet continues, it will affect his subordinates.
There will be heads rolling all over the floor.
Looking at Yuan Chonghuan's fate, it is not easy to decide to die and choose to die.
As soon as Yuan Chonghuan arrived in Beijing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War specially recruited a person named Shen Wenxue to enter the Yuan camp to listen to the truth, and Shen said to Yuan: The Son of Heaven is a new practitioner, that is, he will not be promoted to the public, which can be described as a public confidant, and the same knowledge will not bear the imperial court. But outside the city and not into the court, how can the world know the loyalty of the public. And the public killed Mao Wenlong in vain, people have suspected the public, Fang Ji public merit is redeemed, a little incomplete, the world is fighting for the public, but not afraid.
According to the civil and military officials at the time, Yuan Chonghuan claimed to have been in peace with Liao for five years.
However, under Yuan Chonghuan's operation, the enemy was allowed to hit the Jingshi.
Yuan Chonghuan, who had already made a big disaster, chose basically one way at that time: take the initiative to die in battle and save his name.
For the party Yuan Chonghuan, death is really an easy choice.
It is difficult to die through the ages, and it is not easy to make the choice to die.
After all, people are willing to believe what they want to believe.
For Yuan Chonghuan, there is nothing left when he dies, and I, Yuan Chonghuan, spent so much money to become a superintendent just for today's death?
Yuan Chonghuan is dead, doesn't it make many officials put the blame on me, a dead man?
Alive, maybe there is an officialdom to operate, not without opportunities. So he didn't die in the end.
The emperor summoned Yuan Chonghuan and used the rhetoric to discuss military salaries, and Yuan Chonghuan certainly knew that the emperor had a plan to seize his possibility.
Yuan Chonghuan went to discuss the military salary, and he could be arrested, if Yuan Chonghuan didn't go, the emperor would have an excuse to cut off the military salary of the Guanning army, and many people's interests would be damaged.
In this context, a person is in the context of Yuan Chonghuan. What would he choose?
Normal people are in the background of Yuan Chonghuan, and they will only say one sentence, that is, don't go.
At that time, Yuan Chonghuan had two options.
One option is to take all the responsibilities like Mao Wenlong, not to implicate others, not to implicate family members, but to die.
Another option is to arrange the mutiny.
The choice at that time, in case of being caught, then Guan Ningjun would make a big fuss and force the emperor to release himself.
All in all, in order to survive, he is in a monstrous flood.
From the perspective of interests alone, judging from the judgment at the time, it was naturally better to make a mutiny, because there was a possibility of survival.
Yuan Chonghuan thought the same way at the time.
However, Yuan Chonghuan's ending was to cut 3,457 knives, and he would not die well.
Therefore, the longer he stays in history, the more Wei Bao feels that history is difficult to reverse.
It's not just about food.
Even if you get hybrid rice out now, it's useless, and if you don't have a huge industrial base, where can you get a lot of fertilizer?
And Wei Bao wants to save more people, and what he wants to save is the fate of the whole of China.
I want to prevent more Han people from suffering humiliation.
