Let's say that Song Youliang and Hong Chengchou jointly went to the Shu, saying that Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming were lost and returned, risked their lives to kill the Jiannu military camp, and came to defect. The court should be magnanimous and give favors, so that more people will surrender later

However, there were different opinions in the DPRK and China, as long as the Donglin Party, who were carried away by the victory, proposed to take the three people who had defected to Jiannu earlier and had the highest official rank to Beijing to be executed in Lingchi. Why? The reason is very simple, they became such big officials, and they all relied on attacking the Ming Dynasty in exchange for meritorious service. If such a big traitor is not eliminated, how can the law be corrected?

Chongzhen's ears were soft, and the Donglin Party's gang of speechmen who had eaten and had nothing to do were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the notebook flew to Chongzhen's desk like snowflakes. In the end, these officials directly impeached Hong Chengchou and Song Youliang, saying that they showed weakness to Jiannu, hid filth, harbored evil intentions, and so on. 7。

Chongzhen also hesitated at this moment, because he really felt that Song Youliang had become more and more independent and emboldened in recent years. As his merits became more and more established, his identity as the son-in-law of King De became more and more dazzling. Chongzhen sometimes even really thinks about whether Song Youliang will become a thorn in the side of the Zhu family in the future

"Wang Chengen~~ What do you think about this matter?" Chongzhen asked

"Has Your Majesty forgotten about Shen Zhixiang?" Wang Chengen asked rhetorically: "At the beginning, Shen Zhixiang wanted to replace Shen Shikui as the chief soldier of Phi Dao, but Your Majesty did not agree. As a result, Shen Zhixiang surrendered to Jiannu. Now Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming are descending as kings, which is caused by His Majesty's Tianwei. 3。 If you kill it, it will seem stingy. ”

"But~" Chongzhen said: "What about these twists and turns?" If I agree to Song Youliang's performance in everything, will I make him spoiled? ”

Wang Chengen said: "The old slave thinks that these three people can be taken in, but the official position given to them is smaller. If they are sincere and obedient, then many think that it is a remark for what they have done before. If they complain, it means that the three of them are seeking wealth and no. In Jiannu, they are already princes, why should they go back to Daming to be a guerrilla? ”

"En~Reasonable~!" Chongzhen said: "If the three of them have any tricks, I will also take this opportunity to knock Song Youliang and let him know that I can hold him to the sky and pull him down to the ground." 4。 ”

Wang Chengen applauded: "My Emperor Shengming~"

Let's say that Chongzhen thought that his imperial power trick was very beautiful, but he didn't know that it would cause endless troubles. The Donglin Party members were very dissatisfied with such a disposition, and they jointly impeached Shangshu. The cabinet even withheld official documents in protest.

At this time, the commander of Jinyiwei made Luo Yangxing report, saying that after Jinyiwei's investigation, Kong Youde had been excluded and suppressed since Song Youliang captured Shenyang, and this time he should be sincere.

This can poke the hornet's nest, the Donglin Party originally had a grudge against Jinyiwei for acting as a thug when the Eunuch Party suppressed the Donglin Party, so they immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed at Luo Yangxing, and finally led to Zhou Yanru's public request to Emperor Chongzhen to abolish the factory guard. 2。

Let's say that when Zhou Yanru was living idlely, there was a young woman with a dead husband in the rich room of Dongting Mountain in Suzhou, who couldn't bear the loneliness and colluded with outsiders to marry herself. Of course, the rich family was unwilling, and when he went to the county, he was afraid of marrying his relatives, so he had to give the young woman's makeup to Zhou Yanru. Zhou "was favored at first sight", at that time, the imperial court showed him to be a heavy auxiliary, he was indulged in beauty, and he delayed and refused to enter Beijing. Zhang Pu took the county's catch order to find Zhou Yanru, and no matter what the gift of teachers and students, he threw the catch order in front of him, Zhou Yanru couldn't help but be angry, Zhang Pu didn't buy his account: "This is just a trivial matter, you don't need such a big fire." If you don't go out now, I'm afraid something worse will happen in the future. ”

When the old slippery head heard this, he immediately changed his face and said to Zhang Pu: "Without your words, I can't see this." 7。 "I even respectfully addressed the students to you. So he took the young woman and took office. This one seems to be a "trivial matter", but the resentment is very deep, which invisibly laid an ambush for Zhang Pu's later fate. Zhou Yanru took other people's women as his own in Jiangnan, and was caught by Zhang Pu. Therefore, Zhang Pu "used several things to (coerce)", and made it clear: I have used manpower and material resources, if you come back, you must change your previous actions, so that you can regain everyone's trust. The opportunity cannot be missed, the old politician Zhou Yanru agreed.

Zhou Yanru became an assistant again, and the government was indeed updated. Zhang Pu was very excited, and he studied many proposals for reforming the status quo of state affairs with his colleagues in the Fushe Society, discussed the government and politics everywhere, and wrote his suggestions into two volumes and presented them to Zhou Yanru, including the article on abolishing the factory guard. 7。 At that time, everyone was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and felt that the time had come to make a difference. Unexpectedly, happiness and sorrow are unbearable, and the bookseller's anger is the viciousness of politicians. When he rushed back to his home in Taicang, he had severe abdominal pain that night, and he died a strange death. Due to the artificial obscuration of history, the truth is obscured and obscured. His friend Huang Daozhou wrote an epitaph for him and wrote a poem with tears, and the poem also vaguely left doubts about the cause of his death. Ji Liuqi's "Ming Ji Beiluo" said more definitely that Wu Changshi used a dose of medicine to send Zhang Pu to Jiuquan. Zhou Yanru's comeback, Zhang and Wu were both people who planned and made contributions, but in the struggle for power and profit, Wu Changshi held the power in his hands, and he didn't want Zhang Pu to taste the top, so he came up with this poisonous plan. 9。 Of course, Wu Changshi can still see the shadow of Zhou Yanru's cruel smile behind him.

Zhang Pu is a young man with great ambition and sharp edge, not only does he look down on some of the teacher's behaviors, but also often asks him to do things according to the meaning of the resumption of the society, so Zhou Yanru hates this student to the core, just to take advantage of his talent and wrongs, where can he really change his mind and change his ways? As soon as Zhang Pu died, the nationwide Restoration Society suddenly lost its leader, and Zhou Yanru had no handle in the hands of others, so he was surrounded by Wu Changshi's generation

This time, Zhou Yanru proposed to abolish the factory guard, which may be a manifestation of his guilt for Zhang Pu's death.

Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Yangxing to be promoted by Zhou Yanru, so he hated Zhou Yanru, and he colluded with Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun and other lieutenants to secretly monitor Zhou Yanru for twelve hours a day. 9。

On weekdays, everyone looks down on Jinyiwei, or sees it as a flood beast. Only Song Youliang had the closest relationship with Jinyiwei, so Luo Yangxing sent someone to secretly send the news of the capital to Wu Mengming, the envoy of Jinyiwei Town, Shandong, and then secretly transmitted it to Jinzhou through Wu Mengming

The official positions given to Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming were only to guerrillas, and Kong Youde and others were strange if they had no ideas in their hearts, and Song Youliang still used "As long as you stay by your side and serve, he is not afraid of not having high-ranking officials in the future" to appease the three of them, while saying that he would go to the table again to fight for the three of them. At this time, even Kong Youde felt that Song Youliang had something to say, so the three of them summed up and came to the conclusion: This Song Youliang has the ambition of being a king, and now he is just waiting for an opportunity. 1。

Soon, the opportunity came.

In May of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting's troops went out of Tongguan and attacked Li Zicheng in Henan. At the same time, as the governor of one and three sides, he issued an order, asking Zuo Liangyu to send troops from Hubei to attack Li Zicheng.

However, Zuo Liangyu refused to send troops on the grounds that he was not paid. Li Zicheng wanted to take advantage of the lack of soldiers, and each of them wore three gourds and prepared to cross the river. Sun Chuanting sent troops to intercept along the coast to prevent Li Zicheng from flowing to Guanzhong. Niu Venus to Li Zichengdao; 'If Sun Chuanting and Zuo Liangyu join forces to attack, our army will be in danger. It is better to send a general to attack the left army first. Zuo Liangyu only wants to protect himself, he will not fight, and our army can go all out to deal with Sun Chuanting. 9。 Li Zicheng sent Li Guo to take 30,000 iron horsemen to Fancheng. The camera moves, as long as Zuo Liangyu's army is dragged and does not come to the war, it will be considered a great achievement.

Zuo Liangyu was hesitating whether to send troops or not, and suddenly saw tens of thousands of iron horsemen killing Fancheng. He Jin shouted loudly to the city; "Sun Chuanting has been defeated by our army, and Prince Xinshun led an army of 400,000 to avenge the bloody blood of the old camp of the left thief."

Zuo Liangyu was shocked and ordered to close the city gate tightly and not to fight. Only use cannons, rockets, and crossbows to return fire to commit thieves. He Jin saw that Fancheng was well guarded, and led his army to go around Baimadu from the small road, captured Jingmen, Yiling, and coerced Jingzhou. Zuo Liangyu hurriedly dispatched troops to the rescue. Who knew that the soldiers and civilians of Jingzhou learned of the arrival of King Chuang's righteous army, and they rushed to open the city gate to welcome King Chuang's army. Governor Chen Ruimo saw that people's hearts had changed, so he escaped from Jingzhou with King Hui and went to Xiangtan. He Jin led the army into Jingzhou, and the soldiers strictly abided by military discipline, and there was no crime in the autumn. The De'an army and civilians also expelled the court officials and welcomed King Chuang's troops to garrison. With He Jin's nail, Zuo Liangyu didn't dare to take a step out of Fancheng, just to protect himself.

Li Zicheng sent Hao Shaoqi to lead 10,000 troops to capture Baokang and kill the corrupt official Shi Weitan. Then he led the army to attack Yuzhou, and the guards Yang Fen and Zhang Lang opened the door to welcome the surrender. Sun Chuanting's army was stationed in Ruxiang, and Li Zicheng also mobilized Jingxiang soldiers and horses to come to Luoyang to help in the war. Sun Chuanting took advantage of the fact that the thief brigade had not arrived, and ordered Niu Chenghu to gallop hundreds of miles with a 5,000-person death squad and attack Li Zicheng's camp.

Niu Chenghu led an army to lure the enemy and set up three ambushes at the mound. Li Zicheng couldn't help laughing when he saw that the banners of the officers and soldiers were not in order; It turned out that Sun Chuanting's training was not enough. With a wave of the flag, Liu Zongmin took the lead in killing. Tens of thousands of horsemen rushed to kill. Niu Chenghu saw that the thief was strong, so he returned to his horse and left. Look at the head of the mound, Niu Chenghu turned into the forest and disappeared.

Li Zicheng's army chased to the mound, only to hear the sound of cannons, the general army led the army on the left side to kill, Zheng Jiadong killed on the right, Gao Jie, Dong Xueli killed from behind, Niu Chenghu also returned to the army to fight, surrounded Li Zicheng's army, and the two armies killed the sky in the dark, the sun and the moon were dark. Sun Chuanting commanded on the mountain, and Li Zicheng's army was in chaos. Li Zicheng sacrificed his life to kill, and there were still tens of thousands trapped in the array.
