In November of that year, Wei Zhongxian was forced to hang himself on the post house on the road to Fengyang and died.

Next, Chongzhen ordered Wei Zhongxian to rebel against the eunuch party, arrest the eunuch party officials and send them to prison for questioning.

In the spring of the second year of Chongzhen, the young emperor was dissatisfied with the results of the liquidation of the eunuchs Han Yi, Li Biao, Qian Longxi, etc., and reformulated the "Wei Zhongxian Reverse Case".

The eunuch cadres Cui Chengxiu, Tian Ji, Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun and other "five tigers" and "five biao" were all executed, and the courtiers and eunuchs attached to Wei Zhongxian when he was in power were "five tigers, five biao, ten dogs, ten children, and forty grandchildren." ”

As for whether this is the case or not, no one can say.

Because when the eunuch party was in power, there was also a booklet called "Donglin Point General Record", which was written by Wang Shaohui, who had served as the imperial history of Zuo Du and the secretary of the ministry.

Wang Shaohui ostracized the Donglin Party in the Wanli Dynasty, so Wei Zhongxian put him in a high position to exclude dissidents. He imitated the folk Water Margin, compiled one hundred and eight Donglin party members, recorded them as a point general, and dedicated them to the nine thousand years old and deposed by name.

The world is impermanent, and the Donglin Party, who is good at infighting, will be polite to the eunuch party when they turn the tables, and of course they will concoct the saying of "five tigers, five biao, ten dogs, ten children, and forty grandchildren".

Of course, there are indeed many bad people in the eunuch party, and under the fierce pursuit and beating of the emperor and the wall of civil and military officials, more than 200 Beijing officials have been killed, exiled, and dismissed, and too many important positions in the imperial court have been vacated.

At this time, Chongzhen did not know that the people's hearts were sinister, and he abolished the factory guards and removed the eunuchs from all over the country, resulting in the imperial power being hollowed out and unable to fight against the civil official group.

The young emperor did not understand economics at all and was deceived by the so-called moral gentleman. The Donglin Party, who believed that "the people were in the right direction," did not compete with the people for profit, and the reduction or suspension of industrial and commercial taxes and mining taxes made it even more difficult for the state finances, which were already stretched thin.

The Ming Dynasty began with Emperor Wuzong Zhengde, and for more than 100 years, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty all embarked on the tragic fate of confronting the system, that is, the game between the imperial power and the vassals, in fact, the struggle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party was the game between the emperor and the landlords and bureaucrats.

The endless infighting among the courtiers has developed into white-hot infighting, coupled with the harsh climate of the Xiaoice River period, this Daming who had ruled martial arts and flourished in the Tang Dynasty had long been ill to the bone marrow.

Zhu Youzhen, who has not been cultivated by the emperor's mental art system and belongs to the accidental ascendancy, is just the age of a junior high school student, and Zhu Youzhen was only eighteen years old in the second year of Chongzhen.

The young man was so happy, he won the emperor's eagle dog Wei Zhongxian in one fell swoop, the eunuch party was wiped out, Chongzhen suddenly tasted the pleasure of the imperial power, so he promoted talents in an eclectic manner.

When the platform was called, Chongzhen was overjoyed to find Yuan Chonghuan, who could "level Liao for five years", and the young emperor almost gave his heart to Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan Shang Fang Baojian, appointed him as the secretary of the military department and the right deputy capital of the imperial history, supervised the thistle, Liao, and also supervised the military affairs of Deng, Lai, and Tianjin, the court was difficult, and the emperor still spared no effort to give money and food to the soldiers and horses.

Yuan Chonghuan is about to be equal to the generalissimo of the Great Tomorrow's soldiers and horses, after he took office, he followed the Red Gang is eyebrows and tried to make peace privately, did not fight a battle with the Houjin Army, let alone attack and kill a member of the Houjin Army generals, but used the sword of Shang Fang to kill Mao Wenlong, the chief military officer of Pingliao, the left governor of the Ming Dynasty who repeatedly attacked the rear of Jiannu.

Mao Wenlong opened the Dongjiang River for more than eight years, and repeatedly attacked the Jiannu walled city, and once fought until Hetuala, the so-called dragon land of wild boar skin.

The unyielding Dongjiang Town attacked from time to time, making the red gangsters like a man, and Mao Wenlong was a big problem for the Later Jin regime.

Now that Mao Wenlong has returned to the west, without this strong fierce general to balance the arrogant generals under his command, Dongjiang Town is falling apart and fighting endlessly, and can no longer bring threats to Houjin.

As early as the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Red Gang sent one of the four major Beylers, Erbel Amin, and the little Belle Yuetuo, Zilharang, and Dudu to lead the Houjin Iron Cavalry to beat the army of the Korean Kingdom to the ground.

Amin waved his army to conquer Anju and Pyongyang, and crossed the Taedong River to Pyongsan City. The Korean army was so vulnerable that King Yi Jong fled to Ganghwa Island to sue for peace.

Later Jin demanded that the Joseon state sever ties with the Ming state and pay a large amount of goods and grain to the Dajin state every year.

The disparity in strength, the suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty and self-care, the Joseon Renzu Li Liang had nothing to do, and signed an alliance with the Houjin under the city, opened the market to the Houjin and paid the New Year's coin, and now belongs to the brotherly country of the Houjin.

The deployment of the "cage strategy" of the siege of the Quartet of Liaodong has been broken by the Houjin, and then the unexpected joy of Mao Wenlong's return to heaven has been obtained, and the complacent red gangsters think that it is time to cross the Great Wall and burn the flames of war into the Daming Pass.

In October of the second year of Chongzhen, the Red Gangster was the royal driver of the expedition, leading the Tartar and Jiannu coalition armies, plus the banners and clothed slaves, with tens of thousands of troops, claiming to be 100,000 horses into the pass, burning, killing and looting.

I heard that the master actually personally led everyone to the rich Daming Pass to fight the grass valley, and some of the robbers were worried about their high morale, so they acted quickly and detoured through the Mongolian steppe to appear outside the border wall of Jizhou Town.

Jizhou Town has long lost Qi Jiguang's punctuality, and Yuan Dudu, who can "level Liao for five years", is negligent in taking precautions, and the result can be imagined.

Now Jiannu has been attacking the city in the hinterland of Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty for three months, and the twists and turns of urgency, asking for reinforcements, and asking for food and salary are like snowflakes, but they have not seen a real good news.

The young emperor had too much anger in his heart, he hated the Liao Zhen soldiers for not listening to the dispatch, hated Yuan Chonghuan's deception, hated those scholars who could only talk rhetorically, and hated those generals who feared the enemy like tigers.

Chongzhen was too eager to get a good news, and just when the Ming civil officials and military generals were shrinking turtles one by one, Liu Zhilun, who was promoted by Chongzhen against public opinion, won the great merit of winning Zunhua with a ragtag army that everyone was not optimistic about.

Of course, the Son of Heaven is in a difficult mood at this time, he is a young man after all, he is almost suffocated to death these days, and today he can finally raise his eyebrows.

The eunuchs have already lit several stoves on the platform, and the spring is in full swing, and the young emperor is also like a spring breeze, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

For many days in a row, the face of the Son of Heaven was like water, and today I heard that Liu Zhilun's troops not only captured Zunhua, but also rescued the seventy or eighty thousand people who were coerced by the Houjin army, and I couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Chongzhen was happy, because Liu Zhilun was the one who overcame public opinion, and jumped from a Shu Jishi jumping seven or eight levels in a row to the right attendant of the three-grade military department.

Just some time ago, there was the imperial history of Kedao, and dozens of people impeached Liu Zhilun to deceive the Son of Heaven to sensationalize, and he led the troops to run away more than half of them just out of the command of the Beijing Division, and now the enemy is not advancing.

What is the result now? Liu Zhilun lived up to the expectations of the Son of Heaven, and actually won the first major achievement since the Liao Incident at the critical juncture when many civil and military generals lost their teachers and land, which was not only gratifying and congratulating, but also gave the emperor a lot of face.
