92. Defeat also Li Chengliang
If life is only as it first sees, then there will be no ensuing kindness and resentment, love and hate, love and hatred. If Li Chengliang's life has come to the present - the tenth year of Wanli, and the year 1582 will end, then he can definitely be called a national hero and a national hero!
But that's not the case. Strictly speaking, Li Chengliang's life can be divided into the Zhang Juzheng era and the post-Zhang Juzheng era.
Li Chengliang in Zhang Juzheng's era was the Li Chengliang who counterattacked, was invincible, and walked to the pinnacle of life.
However, Li Chengliang in the era of Zhang Juzheng was a Li Chengliang who lied about the military situation, killed good people and risked merits, formed a party for personal gain, guarded and stole himself, raised tigers as a trouble, and left a disaster for 300 years.
And there is only one reason for all these changes - the death of Shoufu Zhang Juzheng.
In the era of Zhang Juzheng, after Li Chengliang was excavated in Tieling, under the care of Zhang Juzheng, coupled with his own resourcefulness and martial arts, he rose all the way, from a troubled middle-aged man who couldn't even go to Beijing to get together, to an imperial general who collected many glories such as the military chief of the northern frontier of the empire, the second-rank officer, and Ning Yuanbo.
However, with the death of Zhang Juzheng, he witnessed the tragic end of the Zhang family, and even watched how Qi Jiguang, a true hero whose reputation was above him, was persecuted to poverty, sickness and starvation!
Although Li Chengliang escaped a catastrophe because he was far away from the imperial court and was indeed a necessary figure in northern Xinjiang, did he feel sad and hurt because of this? And is this the root cause of his later complete blackening?
Some historians say that Li Chengliang did two of the biggest wrongs in his life. The first is to form a party for personal gain, and to steal from the guards.
According to the Ming Dynasty system, the military merits of one party can be rewarded by those involved. Every time Li Chengliang won a battle in Liaodong, even all officials in the capital, such as the military department and the household department, could get benefits.
Either it is an official promotion, or a financial reward, which is always a benefit. The benefits of the long time and the long flow of water, coupled with Li Chengliang's deliberate attachment and friendship, these people who are bound to Li Chengliang's interests have gradually formed a group and an inseparable private party.
Later, Li Chengliang made a mistake in pursuing the enemy, resulting in a great loss of troops. With the help of the Jingshi Private Party, he successfully blinded Zhu Yijun of the Mingshenzong who was also blackened, and praised him greatly. The impeachment of the imperial historians was suppressed, and some even lost their officials and were demoted.
Li Chengliang, who tasted the sweetness, was out of control, and after a period of time, Liaodong was already Li Chengliang's world.
When I talked about the "Nine Tiger Generals of the Li Family" before, everyone was crowned a marquis, and they all said that the fruit on a tree was sour and sweet; A mother gives birth to a child, there are good and bad.
Li Chengliang's nine sons, of course, do not rule out that there are positive examples like Li Rusong, but no matter how big or small the performance is, everyone is above the third grade, which is an unreasonable thing.
However, Li Chengliang did it. In his later years, according to the "History of the Ming Dynasty Li Chengliang Biography", "the interests of the merchants and people of Liao were all gathered into themselves." In order to instill power and accept courtiers, Chinese and foreign dignitaries are all full of their burdens and are influenced by it. ”
At this time, Li Chengliang has changed from a hero of Liaodong who is admired by everyone to a local bully who is intertwined and sucks blood and eats meat.
The second wrong thing Li Chengliang did in his life was to lenien, help, and grow the Qing Taizu Nurhachi.
I was thinking about it, when suddenly a voice came from my ear, but it was Li Chengliang. He held his wine glass, toasted me and asked with a smile, "What does Qilan think?" The old man just called you three times and didn't realize it. ”
I could only raise my glass and smile: "It's just some family matters, not enough to worry about." General Lee Haihan! ”
At this time, Li Chengliang had already set up a brief banquet in the meeting hall of Zhenyi Fort, greeting me, a friendly army who had traveled thousands of miles to help. In the midst of the staggering, I was distracted.
Li Chengliang picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said with a smile: "I heard that Qilan has just made a marriage and is about to get married-I still went to send a congratulatory gift-but at this time I was dragged here to fight." Anyone who changes is also going to be depressed, human nature! It's human nature! ”
I could only pretend to be told something about my heart again, looked down and smiled, sighed, and slowly shook my head.
When Li Chengliang saw my expression, he thought that he was right, so he smiled even more happily, and took another full cup and said, "Come on!" Qilan! I'll toast you again! This cup represents the 50,000 soldiers stationed in Liaodong! Thank you Qilan for traveling thousands of miles and helping me break the enemy! ”
I raised my glass and said very generously: "When the country is in trouble, the husband is responsible!" How dare Qilan care about national affairs for his own selfishness! ”
The two of us drank each other, and the atmosphere was warm. I don't know what Li Chengliang thinks of my righteous and awe-inspiring statement in his heart, at least I am far from recovering from the contemplation just now.
After drinking, I opened my mouth and asked, "General Li, before Qilan left, Qi Dudu secretly explained to me, asking me to fully cooperate with you, first break the speed, and then expel the Jurchens." Now that the first step has been completed, please tell the general how to act in the second step! ”
After listening to this, Li Chengliang laughed dumbly. smiled very sincerely, smiled brightly, just like what he said later: "Qi Dudu is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, and Cheng Liang is not as good as Chengliang!" As the governor said, now the two beasts in front of the door have gone to a wolf, but the remaining tiger is already lonely and insignificant! Together, we can! ”
This sentence is also very official, and it is also full of heart. Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile and toast Li Chengliang with a glass of wine.
But there was a very strange feeling in my heart, and I couldn't help but make up a picture in my mind - I said to Zhang Ziyi: "Sister Ziyi, Fan Bingbing praises you for your beauty, but you have to pay more attention to your makeup." ”
Zhang Ziyi smiled and said: "The makeup of the rice beauty is beautiful!" I still need to learn more! "But I thought in my heart, Bichi is a Bichi! A slut is hypocrisy! Dare to point fingers at the old lady!
And the reason why I said this taboo sentence is actually to set a set of Li Chengliang's words and see what he plans for the Jurchens.
Because historians evaluate Li Chengliang and think that the second big mistake he made was to be lenient and nourishing Nurhachi!
The history of the Qing Dynasty, if it is put into the 24 histories of the Chinese dynasties, serves as the 25th history, and it is also the one with the largest water and the highest degree of falsehood; However, it is also the most widely accepted one that is filtered and beautified, promoted and diffused by the remnants of the current Beijing Division.
Turn on the TV, what you see is not an anti-Japanese drama, or a Manchu palace fight, it seems that the 5,000-year history of China is left, and there is only a short 300-year Tartar pseudo-history left in front of you, and the screen is singing praises and whitewashing for the Jurchen Tartars. And the real heroes Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, and Huo Qubing have been more and more annihilated in the dust of history for one reason or another.
In the long run, I am afraid that in the near future, Qin Hui, who has been kneeling in front of Yue Fei's tomb for a thousand years, should also stand up! At that time, who will stand and who will kneel, I am afraid that it will still be between the two.
Back in history, Nurhachi was just the second generation of a dilapidated aristocratic puppet official outside Liaodong City. His father and grandfather were manslaughtered by Li Chengliang, but this did not affect his close relationship with Li Chengliang in the slightest.
According to research, Nurhachi once served as Li Chengliang's personal soldier, bodyguard, and chief of guard, but then suddenly left Li Chengliang and defected to Yehebel.
I am afraid that the reason for this is difficult to attribute to politics, and I am more afraid that the young and vigorous Nurhachi and the young wife of Li Chengliang's old husband and young wife had a relationship that transcended friendship, which led to a hasty escape.
The rights and wrongs in this are probably the same as the folk legends such as "Mrs. Ziwei", "Crooked Pear Niangniang", and "Crooked Neck Old Mother" that circulate in the Northeast, but they must not be as bizarre and bluffing as the legends.
In my opinion, this story should be like the plot of a film and television work between a regular movie and an island country movie - a sturdy special forces bodyguard falls in love with the president's sixth wife, who is both wise and beautiful, and is in love with adultery. What is the morning and the Tao, the evening can die, what this song should only be in the sky, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal. After all, it is just a matter of suddenness, and there is no lower limit.
As a result, I accidentally played too much and was discovered by the president! The president was furious, and the special forces bodyguard saw that the situation was not good, so he lifted his pants and ran! In order to cover her lover, the president's wife dragged the angry president to death, and even forced herself to die and resolutely hanged herself on the pear tree with a crooked neck! saved his lover's life with his own death.
The lover went back and relied on thirteen sets of armor to raise troops, from a special forces bodyguard who lost his job to an executive officer who worked with a personal partner. And in this process, he reached a certain degree of understanding and tacit understanding with the special forces bodyguard with the CEO of the unicorn company who was cuckolded by him.
It can only be said that the CEO of course chose to forgive her!
In the following time, the unicorn CEO not only connived at the development of the special forces personal partnership executive, but also gave him time, land, materials, and personnel support, and even directly helped him eliminate his competitors!
Thirty years later, when this special forces individual cooperation executive officer wiped out all the opponents around him, the green hat CEO was already ninety years old, and he was not paying attention and hung up!
As a result, the individual cooperative executive of the special forces no longer had any scruples, and wantonly acquired the assets of the unicorn company, and even extended his hand to the parent company of the unicorn company.
As a result, the parent company was entangled in financial problems, labor contract issues, and labor disputes, and was replaced by the individual cooperative executive officer of the special forces bodyguard! This replacement has been a big company for 300 years!
This is not history, but it is also history. Looking at Li Chengliang, I couldn't combine the high-spirited middle-aged general in front of me with the national traitor who had raised tigers and misled the Central Plains for three hundred years!
At this moment, my heart is also extremely entangled. From Li Chengliang's words, you can hear his contempt and indulgence for the Jurchens. Next, what kind of attitude should I have to face it to promote the war with the Jurchens?
When I lifted my glass, the wine was hot, but my heart was cold.
