PS: Happy Dragon Boat Festival, everyone!

The Ming Dynasty has not been in harmony since the founding of the country, and there is no reparation! How can such a thing be accepted by the government and the opposition? I really can't get down on face! As for how much damage will be caused by the satoko, only the adults and gentlemen themselves know. The so-called big rivers have water and small rivers are full, but big rivers have no water and small rivers are dry.

But these people are so unrelenting for their own selfish interests, don't you know that what I did was just to imitate the king of Yue, Goujian, to lie down and taste the gall, and the so-called poisonous snake devouring the hand of the strong man broke his wrist?

It must be known that although my Ming Dynasty did not cede land, did not make peace with relatives, and did not pay compensation, since he became an ancestor, he had the habit of rewarding land, property, money and grain to the surrounding vassal states.

That Li Chenggui, who ascended to the throne after the mutiny, was originally unjustifiable. However, in order to prove that his name is justified and the destiny of heaven returns, Emperor Chengzu moved Tielingwei northward, rewarded the land that was originally my Ming Dynasty to North Korea, and ordered Li Chenggui to know the state affairs of North Korea for the right. The Yalu River became the border between the Ming Dynasty and the vassal state of Korea.

The Ming court was so lenient to Li Chenggui, who usurped the throne, and Chengzu was even more blue-eyed to Duoyan Sanwei, who had fought the world with him and contributed a lot to the Jingyan battle to seize the throne from his nephew. not only gave official positions, but also allocated a large area of land to Duoyan Sanwei. The Great Ning Wei was revoked, and the king of Ning, who was originally a feudal country here, was moved to Jiangxi to settle down, and a large area of land outside the border wall was given to this group of Mongols.

Later, after Zhu Di died, a group of emperors who had been educated by literati came up, and they were even more Huaide people from afar, and they demanded from various Mongolian tribes on the border.

Among the emperors of the past dynasties, only Ming Wuzong, who was scolded by all the literati and historical records, had the wind of ancestors, and led troops to Yingxian County, Shanxi Province to fight a big battle with the little prince of Mongolia, although according to historical records, only a few extremely pitiful heads were beheaded. But the emperor himself was able to cut down one! Moreover, after such a battle that was not a loss, the little prince's subordinates did not dare to commit crimes for several years, and they don't know why!

But in the year of Jiajing, it's different!

In March of the second year of Jiajing, he was captured. 20,000 horsemen Datong.

In October of the seventh year of Jiajing, Xin Chou, captured 50,000 horses, and was sent to the Kouxuan Mansion by the Great White Yang.

In the first month of the twentieth year of Jiajing, 30,000 horsemen were captured, and they entered Jingping from Datong Ping and attacked Lianhuayu...... In August, Jiazi, I answered 7 or 80,000 horsemen, and invaded Shilingguan, Taiyuan, Pingding, Shouyang, Mengxian, Zhending, Bauhinia, and Jingcheng in Shanxi.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing, the first month of the leap month was ugly, and tens of thousands of riders were captured. Kou Datong avant-garde, September Bingxu, tens of thousands of cavalry prisoners in the middle of Datong.

On the fourth day of the first month of the 31st year of Jiajing, I first paid tribute to 40 horses and 400 horses, and at night led the crowd to recapture all the horses, invaded Datong, and looted people and livestock and property...... On the ninth day of the second month. Entered Kou Datong again, plundered the Great Use, and threatened the forts.

Jiajing 33rd August Yihai. captured more than 100,000 horsemen, and then diverted into Datong and Pingyuwei...... In September of the first year of Longqing, I answered the north, tens of thousands of horses into Kou Datong Jingping, Shanxi Yaotou Pass, Laoying Fort, donkey skin cellar everywhere.

Until Altan Khan was canonized as the king of Shunyi by the Ming Dynasty and built the city of naturalization. The Ming Dynasty gave the Hetao region to the Mongols, and from then on, the defense line or the actual control line reached the Great Wall.

At the same time, tributary trade and border exchanges were carried out. This form of tong guò gave the Mongols a number of benefits.

My Daming is really a typical example of not ceding land, not paying compensation, not getting along, and the Son of Heaven guarding the country!

At most, my Daming is a reward of 80,000 silver to Altan Khan every year, where can it be compared to the New Year's coins of the Two Song Dynasty?!

"I am just following the example of my ancestors, and I am temporarily forgiving with the Tartars. It's good to free up your hands to deal with the thieves in the Central Plains, and wait for a group of rotten Confucians, what do you know?! Chongzhen looked back from afar, under the light of the bookcase in the hall, the shadows could still see the baskets of inscriptions sent by the celebrant supervisor, regardless of asking, they were all against the peace, threatening to kill the traitorous ministers.

For this kind of text that is not suitable for the family and does not know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt, Chongzhen doesn't even bother to read it, but it's a pity that those good papers are full of impassioned but empty words, and even the toilet is black.

I'm just a truth-seeking ear, but I look at you like this! Chongzhen cursed in his heart. Liaodong, since the time of the emperor's ancestor, has been out of the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming court continues to lose troops and generals, and a lot of money and grain continue to fill this bottomless pit! I didn't pay tribute, but I simply recognized Huang Taiji's jurisdiction over Liaodong, gave him the title, and then started border trade with him. He was not given a reward in the nature of a coin, and he did not lose anything.

But you are making noise there, what do you say about losing power and humiliating the country, but do you have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea and change the dragon veins of feng shui? He can command thousands of troops! It's not that there is a way to completely exterminate the Tartars without ceding the land and without paying compensation, but if you do, you will have to send me a bunch of letters of complaint.

If you really have this thought, you will go to Li Weiru to take the initiative to pay the food for the gentry, which is worry-free.

(The unkind author is here again.) Some time ago, when the South China Sea was going on a miraculous work of nature, Sister Hua faced the accusations of the high-level officials of the Bald Eagle family about destroying the feng shui of the South China Sea, and the author was very excited to share this matter with someone. Hopefully, he will be saved from the ranks of quasi-public knowledge. As a result, the guy replied that his house was occupied, and then the earthquake shed next to it was enlarged! So, the author decisively removed him from his friends. It turns out that the Donglin Party and today's Gongzhi are both ancestors and have the same bloodline. However, the gap lies in the fact that today's public knowledge still has the genes of Mei Dad. ）

"Emperor, now there is a lot of discussion among the Chinese martial nobles in the court, and some people threaten to destroy their families and relieve difficulties, and they will also fight the Liao thieves to the end!"

I don't know when, Chen Xinjia, who was ordered to come to the king's prelude, appeared behind Chongzhen with a pale face. The verbal attacks in the past few days have made him mentally stressed, physically and mentally exhausted, and the very delicate description of the original maintenance has become withered, and the whole person looks more than ten years old.

"Destroying the family?" Chongzhen sneered, "Chen Aiqing, you don't listen to their nonsense, don't talk about ruining the family, letting them be on an errand and pay for food is the same as digging their ancestral graves." A mere act of peace is nothing more than a bribe that makes them lose some money and property. So they do it, and if they really let them destroy their homes, they will come and destroy them. ”

"The minister heard that there are already people in the DPRK and China, saying that they want the ministers to donate some money to rectify the Beijing camp and train the new army. The minister's news is blocked. But I also heard a little that hundreds of thousands of silver dollars have been raised. Some of them were donated by the fathers-in-law in the palace! ”

"In addition, several nobles who have children who are on errand in the Shenji Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion have already released their words, saying that if the court negotiates peace, they would rather go to Liaodong with their father and son to fight Huang Taiji to the end!"

Threat! This is the threat of the stripes! Ministers, nobles, eunuchs, plus Ning Yuanbo Li Shouhan, who was in Tianjin at this time, this force was unprecedentedly twisted into a rope to protest and make peace!

"At present, the thieves have not been extinguished, and the Central Plains are erosive. North of the Yangtze River. Locusts and droughts are everywhere, hungry people gather everywhere, and thieves and bandits are harassing everywhere. All these are well known to the central responsibility of the Qing Dynasty. At present, the masses are in turmoil, and if peace is negotiated, the DPRK and China will inevitably change, but if they do not negotiate peace with the Easterners. The capture is strong, and Hong Chengchou's tens of thousands of horses may be unsustainable. Internal and external difficulties, such as helpless! ”

Chen Xinjia knew that the emperor came to him today to talk about peace, so he quickly kowtowed and said: "As a soldier, Weichen can't be for His Majesty, and he deserves death." However, the situation has evolved so far, and it can only be temporarily pacified for the east. Seek peace for a while, so that the imperial court can make every effort to deal with the crisis in the Central Plains and exterminate the thieves. There is no better way to do this. Ma Shaoyu has already met with Lao Han to discuss the peace talks, and it is said that the progress is quite smooth, and Lao Han himself wants to return to the imperial court as soon as possible. The minister is willing to guarantee with his life, Ma Shaoyu will be able to break the court this time and live up to his mission. I hope that the emperor can wait with peace of mind, and there is no need to be anxious. ”

"What I am worried about and what I am talking about has not been completed, and the situation is out of control." Chongzhen saw that Chen Xinjia couldn't comprehend his intentions for a while, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little hot, and he raised his voice slightly.

"On the Henan side, Weichen has complied with the order to urge Zuo Liangyu and other military units to rush to aid and suppress. Be sure to encircle and annihilate Cao Yu under Kaifeng City! It is reported that the two thieves are busy cleaning up the wealth in Kaifeng City, and they have no heart to open for a long time. After the armies learned that the thieves had returned to western Henan, they were all overjoyed and eager to fight. As for the eastern captives, the original minister was worried that the reward that Lao Han hoped for would be too extravagant, and before leaving, he had secretly instructed Ma Shaoyu that in front of the chieftain, he should not only promote the emperor's virtue and enlightenment, but also consider the current overall situation of our country, and might as well compromise a little. The minister also told him that the emperor meant that as long as the land and people did not lose too much, he could act cheaply in Liaodong; At present, it seems that Mrs. Hong is bent on obedience, and he thinks that there will be good news from the peace talks in the near future. ”

Chen Xinjia has probably been scolded and confused in the past few days, and he has not noticed that Chongzhen's attitude has changed. I'm not going to negotiate a peace!

Others are easy to say, I just ignore it, at most, let them go to the court every day to scold me for being a faint king. But there is one person you want to ignore and can't ignore, and that is Ning Yuanbo and Li Shouhan. He has soldiers and money, he can fight if he wants, and he can make peace if he wants, and the foundation is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the court itself has to rely on him to continue his life. Now he is the most active one in shouting, this is my henchman!

"Chen Qing, at the beginning of your proposal to negotiate peace with the slave chieftain, I made it clear to you that I want to be the lord of the Ming Dynasty, not the cowardly king of the Song Dynasty. If the captives demand too much, I will never agree. As long as the loss of the people of the land is not much, it is advisable to make a decision quickly, submit it to me, and then carry the oath to abide by it together, so that our subjects outside the border can temporarily relieve the suffering of the army. Ling Qing and Ma Shaoyu deeply understand the hardships of me, and will do the work well, and must not cause extraneous branches. Do you remember? ”

Hearing Chongzhen's words, the tone was wrong, and Chen Xinjia couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, it's over! I'm afraid that this emperor is going to find a scapegoat to carry this huge black cauldron!

Chen Xinjia couldn't stop kowtowing and said, "Yes, yes." The Emperor Shengming! ”

"I have told you that such matters are kept confidential. If there is a secret report to Beijing, do not leak a word. Chongzhen's tone became colder and colder, so cold that Chen Xinjia was also in the cold winter in this early spring season.

"I have repeatedly instructed that every time I give it to Qing Shouyu, I will pay it immediately after reading it. Don't be negligent! However, now among the Beijing teachers, rumors are swarming, Qing, how to deal with yourself? How should I deal with myself? How can I face the mouths of the subjects of the world? ”

The words have already been said for this part, Chen Xinjia can't understand it anymore, so isn't his experience of being born on the right path in the branch and climbing to the status of the secretary of the military department and the cabinet boss for a long time? "The minister is blunt, and the grace of Hemeng knows the encounter, but I hope that Emperor Zuo will become the lord of Zhongxing. Therefore, all such secret decrees of the emperor will be burned at any time. Not even a word will remain in the world. However, how the news leaked within the Jingshi is beyond the reach of the ministers. When the Liao thief left the news? ”

Chongzhen's original intention, Chen Xinjia stood up and took this matter on his shoulders, he, the emperor, could just step down with dignity, so he had to put Chen Xinjia in the prison and remove him from his official position. Avoid this limelight for the time being, and then find an opportunity to use it again like Sun Chuanting. (This trick is the same as what the principal said at the beginning, two people are in the same boat, and if there is a storm and waves, they will be drowned, so it is better to go down one person first, and save one, and then save the other.) It's just that. Chen Xinjia is not Zhang Hanqing. ）

But this guy is so ignorant!

"Sir, get out. If there is any news about the military situation in various places, I will know it immediately! ”

The next day, Chongzhen announced in the court that Chen Xinjia pretended to be holy and ordered his subordinates to go out of the customs to negotiate peace with the slave chief Hong Tai, but I didn't know anything about it. Ling Jinyiwei took down Chen Xinjia on the spot and put him in prison.

"The emperor is wise!"

"Your Majesty's move is just like cutting off Wei Gelding back then!"

Chen Xinjia, who advocated and presided over the peace talks, was imprisoned. The matter of negotiating peace with the Liao thief must have been stillborn, above the court. Civil officials and nobles praised the emperor's wisdom, wisdom, decisiveness and resoluteness.

Before the court was dispersed, the impeachment letters in the various sections flew to the court.

Fang Shiliang in the matter, Ma Jiazhi and others in the matter, led by the seal, impeached him. "Since Xinjia took office, although he has a small talent, he also knows about side affairs, but he can't be honest. Use a lot of debt. Deeply knotted in the noble for help. Externally, it was impossible to resist the humiliation in Liaodong, and internally, the thieves connected Luoyang, Xiangyang, and Kaifeng, and the relatives were trapped, and King Fu died. King Xiang was martyred, and King Zhou lost his country. This is all the fault of the new armor! However, it is not as good as fornicating with thieves and slaves, and it is better to make peace without permission. ”

With such intensive artillery fire, it was difficult for the emperor to let him go. However, what the officials said about befriending the middle officials is not false. Chen Xinjia has a deep friendship with the eunuch Wang Dehua, the eunuch who clapped the palm seal, and there are also many generals in the military town who have private dealings with him outside. Therefore, when Chen Xinjia received a clear decree from Emperor Chongzhen in prison, so that he could clearly respond to the impeachment text given to the people in the matter, he was also fearless.

"The Lord is peaceful, and you are fortunate not to say much."

Although the words are tough, but in private, I still do a lot of survival work.

ordered his cronies and henchmen to run under the cabinet with heavy money, and at the same time ordered people to beg Wang Dehua and other eunuchs. In the matter, Liao Guoxuan, Yang Zhiqi and others cleared the way for him in front of Xu Shiqi, the servant of the Criminal Department, and the scholars Zhou Yanru and Chen Yan also tried to rescue him in front of Emperor Chongzhen, saying: "The law of the country, the enemy soldiers are not thin and the city is not killed." The emperor said: "Don't talk about him, he insulted my relatives and ruined, no more than Bo Chengye?" (What do you mean?) Let's not talk about other Lao Tzu, the seven princes of my family, uncles and uncles, are all dead because of him, and this crime is not heavier than the enemy soldiers coming down to the city?! Then he abandoned the new armor in the city.

One of Chen Xinjia's heads fell at the entrance of the vegetable market, and a political turmoil caused by the discussion seemed to have calmed down. The officials each collected their troops and went home, listening to the music when they should listen to the music, and hugging the little minister and hugging the little minister. I completely forgot the impassioned speech I had made a few days ago in front of everyone and on the table for the emperor.

Others forgot that it was okay, but Chongzhen couldn't help but think about the tens of thousands of horses in Liaodong.

"Companion, how is the military situation in Liaodong?" He asked Wang Dehua, the chief eunuch on duty, helplessly.

Although Wang Dehua is Chongzhen's henchman, handling government affairs is not his forte, and it took a while to get the latest news from a few little eunuchs and report to Chongzhen.

This scene couldn't help but make Chongzhen feel melancholy in his heart again. Chen Xinjia, who had just been beheaded, was recommended by Yang Sichang. These two people have similar talents, ideas, and ways of doing things. During his time in the military department, there were frequent exchanges of military letters, and Xinjia could immediately answer them, and when the prelude was right, he could describe his mastery of military information everywhere with no questions.

"Alas! It's a pity that he doesn't know the truth that if the minister is not secret, he will lose his life. "I don't know how to keep secrets, and I don't know that the emperor's black cauldron must have courtiers to carry it for him without hesitation, this is the reason why Chongzhen must kill him.

However, the military situation everywhere made Chongzhen even more irritable.

"The emperor, the eunuchs who stayed in the capital, the weaving eunuchs of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the two towns of the Nanyue Army under the command of Ning Yuanbo, about fifty or sixty thousand elite soldiers, have been divided into several roads, from Fujian and Guangdong into Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Hunan, and are now moving north. There seems to be a large group of people following behind. All the prefectures and counties were terrified, lest the army disturb the people. ”

"What about Ning Yuan? Isn't Wu Sangui going to recover Jinzhou? Didn't Ning Yuanbo send two brigades of men and horses as reinforcements? ”

"Emperor, Ningyuan's general army has reported to the army, saying that the slave chief Mergen is on behalf of Qing Dolgon, and the superintendent leads the slaves of the department to block the attack frantically, and his army and horses and Dolgon's troops have repeatedly fought for the road from Songshan Fort to Jinzhou, and the losses are heavy, and now they are meeting with the reinforcements of the Nanyue army, hoping to break the enemy in front of them in one fell swoop!"

"Humph! It's all a bunch of damn things! The goal has been achieved, and there we will deal with me! I dare to assert that Wu Sangui's department is sleeping in Songshan Fort! (To be continued......)
