Chapter 716: Heaven Falls Apart (8)
As the Qing army crossed the river to the south, pressing forward step by step, instead of a tense and busy scene of preparing for war or fleeing, Nanjing City was full of rumors and rumors.
Perhaps because the important strongholds on the periphery had been lost, and the Yangtze River, which relied on the Qing army, no longer existed, the actions of the people in Nanjing were very strange in the eyes of the Qing army and the Nanyue army.
Interested readers can take a look at the map of Nanjing, the geographical environment around Nanjing is very special, all the mountains are gradually reduced in altitude from far to near, that is to say, the mountains around Nanjing, and the city of Nanjing form a basin-like environment. Because of this special terrain, Nanjing has always been guarded, and the defensive line must at least start from Anhui. The Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was the first to develop Jiangdong and set the capital of Jinling, was located in Jingzhou. Not to mention the barber brothers' Hunan army, on the way to pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, almost the primary goal was to besiege Anqing, the city in the upper reaches of Tianjing. So, do you know why after the Battle of Songhu, Nanjing couldn't hold it at all? It was not that the soldiers did not work hard, but that the strategy adopted by the highest military authorities of the Nationalist Government at that time was wrong. In other words, those who advocate defending Nanjing are fools who ignore reality. In the face of the surging Japanese devils, they did not have strong troops in their hands, nor did they have the peripheral points firmly controlled by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but just by virtue of the order to lock the city gate and prevent the troops and residents from retreating, they wanted to withdraw from the Songhu front, and the exhausted troops burst out with the combat effectiveness after the small universe burned? Even if you ask Teacher Gu to defeat the Buddha and invite him down, he may not be able to do it!
However, unlike the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's transformation of Nanjing into a fortress, the city of Nanjing at this time was a different scene.
Tea House Restaurant, Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, as long as there is a crowd, they are all rumor distribution centers of various versions.
"Did you hear that? Someone broke out of the palace with a shocking black curtain! Our Hongguang Emperor is not surnamed Zhu at all! ”
"Brother, do you know, our emperor, but after becoming the emperor, he doesn't even want the concubines who have been with him through hardships anymore, and he is soaked in all kinds of women every day!"
"You're right, it's not a big deal, when you become the emperor, which one is not the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courts? I've heard that our emperor has a different taste!? ”
People exchange expressions with an ambiguous and obscene look that everyone is a man and you know.
"I heard from the people in the palace that our emperor is not a good woman, but a good virgin. Spirits must be drunk every day, and then, every day, more than a dozen virgins. Every morning in the early hours of the morning, several virgin corpses are set up outside the Houzai Gate! ”
This is to accuse Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong's classmates every day, like his ancestor Emperor Jiajing, who likes virgins to seek immortality, but what is outrageous is that every day virgins are ravaged and killed by him because of this.
"No wonder! The flower children in the city of Nanjing, every night they carry lanterns to the Qinhuai River and the river to catch toads, and they also write on the lanterns the four red characters of 'Catch Toads by Order', lest others not know that they are also Qincha and are doing the emperor's errand! It turned out that the toads inside and outside Nanjing were all used by the emperor to make medicines, and then, 'Poor count a little Bodhi water and pour it into the two petals of the red lotus!' 'It's all used by the emperor to use this!' ”
"Whew! You folks! It's really uninformed! I heard some rumors from next door to the latrine, and I spread it here, and I am not afraid of losing the face of our Nanjing City! The emperor still needs to catch toads to dispense medicine? What virgins do you need? Bullshit! You haven't been to Beiqu, have you? The biggest boss in Beiqu, Lin Da, is the person who is ordered to run errands! Every day, the emperor sends women, scenes, sets, and props to the palace. What white, black, brown, tall, short, fat, thin, what tenan, what heavenly, what Europa, what Turkey, Franco, Spanish, Portuguese, wherever you want! Also, have you ever heard of Jiaolong? You have always seen Jiaolong leather armor in Nanjing City, that armor, wearing lighter than cotton armor and iron armor, beautiful, and invulnerable! There are special people in Nanzhong who hunt and kill Jiaolong, and use Jiaolong jerky to use medicine, and when the medicine is used, it is really a day, and a day is a time! ”
All kinds of half-truths, half-truths, truths and falsehoods are consciously promoted and communicated in the densely populated but superficially familiar environment of teahouses and restaurants, but in fact unfamiliar with each other, and then derived new versions to continue to spread. There is only one purpose, to make people feel that Hongguang Tianzi in the palace is a person with poor moral character.
To smear a politician from the lower three roads is a very traditional, but absolutely effective trick in ancient and modern China and abroad. Don't say that I have all kinds of jokes about the founding leaders and cores of the Celestial Empire, even the lighthouse, don't you have the same? Didn't the president who was hit by a bolt-action rifle from different angles in a matter of seconds by a retired soldier who had never failed a target in a convertible car on the streets of Dallas, and Marilyn Monroe have all kinds of forks and loops? Moreover, the largest scale is with his younger brother and the hero three horses. Not to mention the story report of Starr, the independent prosecutor who caused global cyber traffic jams in the nineties, about the President of America and the White House interns. In other words, he was still the author of a young man, but he used it as a classic to read, just like what ***, nine-tailed turtle, golden scale, Abin and other classics.
According to the normal routine, after talking about the zipper of your pants, it is time to go through the impeachment process of both houses.
"Now in Nanjing, some people have taken out the original concubine case and the fake prince case to talk about it."
At the beginning of Emperor Hongguang's imprisonment, some people successively created the "Great Compassion Monk Case", "Concubine Tong Case", and "Fake Prince Case" to create public opinion that Emperor Hongguang was not properly seated, and his throne did not have sufficient legitimacy.
The case of the fake prince, as we mentioned in the previous chapter, the fake prince confessed himself to Gaoyang, surnamed Wang, and his name was Ming. Although Wang Zhiming was purely fake, the more the Hongguang court debated the rumors and spread more widely, those who had a heart naturally would not let go of the opportunity, and careerists used the rumors, and finally Zuo Liangyu moved eastward in the name of saving the prince and successfully overthrew the Hongguang regime. Donglin people even used the fake prince case to attack Hongguang, and did not forget to use the fake prince to expel Hongguang when the Qing army was in danger of going south to the Ming Dynasty, further take over Nanjing, and then give Nanjing to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Now let's go back to the case of Concubine Tong.
At the beginning of the first year of Hongguang, a woman surnamed Tong in Henan claimed to be Hongguang's step-concubine, and separated from Hongguang in the chaos. On the first day of March, Tong arrived in Nanjing and was imprisoned by Hongguang and interrogated by Jinyiwei. Tong said: "Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty or six years old. He entered the palace at the age of seventeen and was canonized as Cao Neijian. From time to time, there are the East Palace Huang Clan, and the West Palace Li Clan. Li Shengzi Brother Yu, Kou Chao doesn't know where he is. In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, he gave birth to a son, called Brother Jin, who was remembered by biting his arms, and is now in Ningjiazhuang. Emperor Hongguang retorted: "I died early before and after, and my step-concubine Li was martyred, and I was posthumously reprimanded. And I am the king of the county first, how can there be two palaces in the east and west? "What's more, Hongguang was the king of the county before, and the concubine needed the imperial court to send a commissioner to perform the canonization ceremony, for example, the Huang family was canonized by Wei Dazhong, one of the six gentlemen of Donglin sent by the imperial court in the second year of the Apocalypse. It is impossible for Hongguang to have two palaces in the east and west, and it is absolutely impossible for Cao Neijian to canonize him. Emperor Hongguang has no sons, Brother Yu and Brother Jin are also talking nonsense, and Hongguang's step-concubine Li also committed suicide when Luoyang City was broken, so it can basically be confirmed that Concubine Tong is indeed a fake.
There is also a wild history that although Tong is not the princess of Fu, but he is a palace man in the palace of King Zhou, Luoyang City escaped when it was broken, and the two met in Weishi County and had a son. However, the description of Yeshi is too different from Tong's self-description, and Tong's self-description is the step-concubine of King Fu, not a member of the Zhou Palace. Moreover, the king of Zhou was in Kaifeng, and the king of Fu was in Luoyang, and the city of Luoyang was broken because the people of the Zhou palace escaped. The first time Luoyang broke Hongguang and fled to nearby Meng County, and the second time Luoyang fled to Weihui Mansion in Hebei, Henan, both of which are far from Weishi County, so it can be seen that Tong's statement that he is a member of the Zhou Palace is purely apocryphal. Tong should be false.
However, after the gentlemen of Donglin learned about Concubine Tong, they were like a treasure, and they made a big fuss about the fake prince case before. The great philosopher Huang Zongxi originally slandered Hongguang and the Queen Mother for adultery, and his first son Wan Sitong was even more unscrupulous to say that all the sons of King Fu had already been martyred. He also said that Hongguang and the Queen Mother were like a couple, and Hongguang did not allow Concubine Tong to enter the palace for fear of leaking things, and further proposed that Ma Shiying knew that Hongguang was fake, but as a treacherous nature, he must set up a fake clan as the emperor to disrupt the dynasty. Huang Zongxi's friend Lin Shizhen, Qian Binglu, a person from the Restoration Society, and Jinbao, one of the Five Tigers of the Southern Ming Dynasty, also made a big fuss about Concubine Tong. not only slandered Hongguang as fake, but also slandered Hongguang for fornicating with the Queen Mother. These words are unbearable for ordinary people, and they can't bear to hear them, but as a result, this group of self-proclaimed scholars and doctors blurted out without the slightest psychological burden.
Hongguang's Empress Dowager Zou was the original partner of Lao Fu Wang, who should have been in his fifties at the time, and described his appearance as "a country with many difficulties, and cranes add to worries; Min Shuangxue's sideburns, Feng Yu Fei's jurisdiction. ", just such an old woman, where did Hongguang get his sexual interest to have an affair with him? Who can believe when they say it?
However, the gentlemen of Donglin don't care whether others believe it or not, they believe it anyway. Although Emperor Hongguang has long been certified by the imperial court, the clan and officials who know him that it is impossible to be fake, although Concubine Tong is purely fake, and although Empress Dowager Zou has gray temples and old age, this does not prevent the Donglin gentleman from reversing black and white.
In the original history, when the Duoduo army entered the city of Nanjing and proudly accepted the incense and kneeling to greet the gentlemen of Donglin, the Empress Dowager Zou left Hangzhou. On the one hand, the water is too cold, and on the other hand, the Donglin gentlemen, who have itchy scalps, have not forgotten to slander their emperor and have an affair with a gray-haired old woman. On June 14 of the first year of Hongguang, King Lu of Hangzhou surrendered to the Qing court, and the Empress Dowager Hongguang was also captured. Although there was a guarantee of personal safety and support from the Qing court, Empress Dowager Zou committed suicide by jumping into the river while passing through the Huai River. And just after her death, the gentlemen of Donglin lived under the rule of the Qing court, and while writing articles scolding their mother and son for being mediocre, they also shamelessly imagined the relationship between the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Hongguang, and did all the slanderous things.
(At this point, the unkind author can't help but think about it again.) Could it be that the gentlemen of Donglin, like the unkind authors, also often browse the website of Good Kids? I don't know if it's a VIP of SINS, or a registered user of 91 or the first club? Look at this plot, which makes the current website authors ashamed! )
However, in the final analysis, the purpose of these means is to smear you in various ways, so that the common people feel that you, the Hongguang Emperor, are not properly seated and unworthy, and then question the legitimacy of your throne and regime. Then, the Donglin Party will sacrifice the ancestral magic weapon of "the Ming Qi is exhausted, the way of heaven is in the Qing Dynasty", and "there is no way to cut down the way", and find a fig leaf of suitable size for the shameless betrayal of the Qing army to surrender to the Qing army.
Well, speaking of which, the unkind author thought of something again. In other words, yesterday was August 15, the anniversary of Japan's surrender. As a result, countless people either stood up or drilled out, and laid out various evaluations of the national army, the oil painting of the surrender of Zhijiang, and the article boasting about the Flying Tigers' War of Resistance and regretting the Chinese Air Force officers and soldiers blew up the circle of friends.
As a result, the unkind author broke the glass hearts of countless people. First, on the surface, it was a Japanese plane and bullets that killed the Chinese Air Force pilot, but in fact, the main culprit was Miss Song San's paper airplane. As for talking about the Flying Tigers' War of Resistance, the unkind author has already said it many times, so he won't say it again, so as not to be suspected of cheating the number of words. However, the surrender of Zhijiang was actually taken out and fried, which made people really cold. One signed the He-Mei Agreement, surrendered a large area of the country to the Japanese invaders, worked with the Japanese to suppress the anti-Japanese armed forces, suppressed the patriotic student movement, and bowed to the Japanese at the surrender ceremony, so that the commander-in-chief of the Japanese invasion of China, Gangmura Ningji, was very grateful, and his heart was extremely warm, and he actually became a spokesman for national heroes. The eight lambs of his grandmother!
You might as well do a test of the party, and go to find a historical documentary about the surrender of Zhijiang, the oil painting is painted by people, and naturally it has to go through the author's secondary creation. However, the footage and images of historical documentaries cannot be faked. On board the Missouri, Mai Tobacco and the others did not treat Chongguang Aoi and others in accordance with diplomatic etiquette at all, and only the Chinese government, represented by Minister He Yingqin, gave Kobayashi, the chief of staff of Gangmura Ningji, a bow in return, to thank them for their aggression against the Chinese land since 1931, to thank them for their aggression and massacre and plundering of the Chinese military and civilians from 1894 to 1927, and to thank them for snatching the Ryukyus and Liaodong Bay from China.
Over the years, there have been countless articles and literary works boasting about the anti-Japanese resistance of the national army, such as the sands of the Ganges River. At the end of the day, most of them have ulterior motives. As mentioned above, the Donglin Party's performance in the three major cases is the same. The goal is to discredit your rabbit's history and then question the legitimacy of your regime. For example, all kinds of articles that say that you swim but do not fight three points of resistance and seven points of development. I just want to ask, it seems that the National Army had far more troops behind enemy lines than the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, why couldn't it hold out behind enemy lines? Oh, it can't be said that it can't hold on, there are also a large number of national troops who have persevered, and under the leadership of the Japanese army, they have fought various battles against the Japanese base areas. Until the surrender of Japan on 15 August, these troops were still receiving money, food, and military salaries from the people in the rear in exchange for their blood and sweat on the strength statistics table of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government.
"You see, the national army fought twenty-two battles, hundreds of battles, and sacrificed millions of soldiers, and you rabbit can't even wipe out a single Okazaki brigade! How many people have been invested in a Guanjiabrain battle?! Are you embarrassed to say that you are the mainstay of the anti-Japanese resistance? (Everyone should have seen and heard something like that.) It should be much worse than mine. Oh and stop! Do you say that you will fight the number of battles? All right! Your national army started from Shenyang in 1931 in 918, from Shenyang to Tengchong, and perfectly drew a geographical Hu Huanyong line. By April 10, 1945, when the Japanese army occupied Chongyangdian on the border of Henan and Shaanxi, in 14 years, Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang had lost a total of 2,753,000 square kilometers of national territory, discarded more than 1,100 cities (1,200 cities in the country at that time), and abandoned 280 million compatriots (the country's population was 450 million at that time). The Battle of Henan-Xianggui began on April 18, 1944 and ended on December 10 of the same year, followed by a series of offensives in the spring of 1945.
In the struggle before the death of the Japanese army, several million Kuomintang troops successively lost the provincial capitals of four provinces, including Henan, Hunan, Guangxi, and Fujian, and more than 200 county seats, and nearly 80 million compatriots fell under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders. Six US air bases and more than 30 airfields were abandoned. The Japanese army basically achieved its operational objectives.
In the case that the world anti-war is about to be won, Italy has surrendered, the Soviet army has approached Germany, and the Chinese anti-Japanese army and civilians behind enemy lines have recovered more than 1 million square kilometers of land and liberated 160 million people, the Kuomintang army is still so vulnerable that the Japanese army can occupy wherever it wants, and can do whatever it wants, and even US President Roosevelt was angered. So, don't laugh at the Italian army, your idols are not as good as the Italian army! It's a shame that people are going to invade others!
All right! Let's take another battle that is also the size of a Japanese brigade as an example! The actual situation of the "great victory at Kunlun Pass" that has now been blown into the sky is as follows: The national army besieged 17,000 people in one division and one brigade of the Japanese army with 250,000 people in 27 elite divisions, and 100,000 people in the main attack force (including the first mechanized unit of the national army, Du Yuming's Fifth Army) attacked Kunlun Pass, which was held by 800 people in a brigade of the Japanese army, and did not capture it for 47 days. The battle ended on February 4, 1940. Eighteen days later, on February 22, Chiang Kai-shek presided over the summary meeting of the Battle of Taikai and Guinan in Liuzhou. At the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek gave Bai Chongxi (commander-in-chief) and Chen Cheng (senior supervisor of the Central Committee) the punishment of salary reduction and retention. General Xu Tingyao, commander-in-chief of the 38th Group Army, and eight other generals were removed from their posts and investigated.
Since it was a great victory, why were so many generals removed and demoted? I deserve a medal!
