Chapter 831: Misfortune is not a one-way street

Sure enough, the imperial court's cavalry was dispatched.

They not only went to Tongguan to arrest Xiong Wencan, Ding Qirui, Chen Zubao, Li Chongzhen, Yang Guodong, Wang Tingchen, Liu Zeqing, Luo Dai, Sun Yingyuan, Zu Kuan, and other civilian and military generals who buried hundreds of thousands of troops.

He also went to Yansui Town to arrest the governors Wu Fu and Zhang Qiping, who were sitting and watching the fall of the feudal domain, and the chief military officers He Renlong, Li Guoqi, Wu Zimian, Meng Ruhu, Wu Guojun, Chen Guowei, Wang Zhixin, Zheng Xizhao, Sun Maolin and so on.

The total number of civil and military generals and eunuchs who needed to be arrested by the cavalry exceeded 100.

However, when they arrived at the ground, they realized that it was impossible to successfully complete the mission, and some of the civilian and military generals appeared to have been killed in battle or had become prisoners of the rogues, and some had actually surrendered.

Wu Zimian and Fierce Tiger were separated by thousands of men and horses, and of course they could not be captured by Ti Cai, and after writing a self-defense, they were demoted to three levels in a row and placed on duty for meritorious service.

He Renlong, who fled to Ningxia Town, had more men and horses in his hands, and he was only reprimanded, and he was still the chief military officer.

The generals who have no men and horses in their hands are more miserable, and many of them will accompany the civil officials to be stabbed at the entrance of the vegetable market.

On the second day of the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen in history, the Qing army invaded Shandong from the south of Gyeonggi, bypassing Dezhou, and went straight to Jinan City.

Chongzhen, this kid is actually quite ruthless, and it is no wonder that when the country is destroyed, everyone betrays their relatives and leaves. When he settled accounts in the autumn, he severely punished the crime of losing the feudal domain, and as many as 36 civil and military generals were executed, including five chief military officers and four governors.

How the imperial court dealt with civil officials and military officials will be looked at by the people of the world, and it has become a consensus that if there are soldiers in hand, they will not lose their heads, and since then it has led to the militarization of the army.

Is this completely to blame the generals for not having a country or a court in their hearts? I'm afraid it's even more thanks to Chongzhen, the emperor, who is not only cold, but also bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.

Blessing and misfortune are not a single line, just when the state affairs were in chaos, Chongzhen also received a note from Fu Zonglong, the governor of Sichuan.

learned that the two county kings of the Shu Dynasty, Zhu Zhiyi, the king of Neijiang, and Zhu Zhihui, the king of Huayang, violated the ancestral system and left the fiefdom without permission and went to "Hanjiang Province".

The magistrate had the obligation to supervise the vassal king and the county king in his jurisdiction, and failure to report it to the magistrate would be punished, and it was a serious crime.

There is no impermeable wall, and the two county kings have brought hundreds of people with them, how can such a big movement be unaware.

Fu Zonglong got the news and went to the palace of the King of Shu to verify it in person and immediately went to the court, as for how to deal with it, it has nothing to do with him.

Enraged, Chongzhen sent Ti Qi again, this Biao man and horse consisted of six Dongchang stall chiefs and thirty Jinyi guard captains, and their destination was Seoul, the "Han River Province".

Who knew that when he came to Tianjin Wei to take the boat, he was interrogated by the "Red Banner Army", and he had to explain the purpose of going to Seoul, and the final result was very funny, and the general was responsible for everyone in the "Hanjiang Province", whether it was a prince or a beggar.

As long as they do not violate the laws of "Han Jiang Province", no one has the right to arrest them, including Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

No way, the "Red Banner Army" didn't even let the boat go, how did Tiqi get to Seoul?

The factory guards were able to walk sideways in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, but they did not dare to show off their might in the fourteenth province, and they did not dare to export after being persuaded to return by the "Red Banner Army", so they could only return to Beijing to resume their lives.

What should come will come, but sooner or later!

Since Zhu Zhiyi, the king of Neijiang, and Zhu Zhihui, the king of Huayang, have come to invest in "Hanjiang Province", then it will be revealed to the world!

At the instigation of Huang Han, the "Red Flag Daily" published a commentator's article entitled "Self-Confidence."

The article directly cuts to the ridiculous ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, and clarifies that the main purpose of restricting the freedom of vassal kings and county kings is to fear their rebellion.

The rhetoric is scorching, and more than ten generations of Ming emperors have implemented such an ancestral system to the letter, but they actually have no self-confidence, and they are always worried about being replaced by vassal kings and county kings.

The article pointed out that as long as the Son of Heaven can govern the country and the people, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, which vassal king and county king will take advantage of the situation when the country is rich and the people are strong?

However, the improper use of people by the Son of Heaven led to the misery of the people, which led to the fall of the vassal kings and the county kings, and they were still required to sit in the fiefdom and wait for death?

In the next few days, articles with such content emerged one after another, as sharp as verbal criticism, pointing directly at Chongzhen's mistakes, so that everyone in the world knew that under the rule of this emperor, not only the people were not happy, but also developed from the official to the king.

All in all, Chongzhen, the emperor, is too bad, and the vast majority of people under his rule are victims.

One stone set off a thousand waves, and the lessons of King Xiang, King Tang, King Qin, and King Rui, the princes of the Zhu family couldn't sit still, and they all went to the court to give freedom to the vassal kings and county kings, and gave them the right to choose their place of residence.

Many princes used a begging tone to explain that in case they encountered the scourge of Jiannu and Liukou, they asked for permission to leave the fiefdom and take refuge.

Some princes had impure intentions, and they demanded military power to defend their fiefdoms.

Chongzhen, who was already anxious about state affairs, was exhausted by the Zhu family's family affairs, and the royal family was angry, Chongzhen could only choose to compromise and send Tiqi to arrest Zhu Zhiyi, the king of Neijiang, and Zhu Zhihui, the king of Huayang, were shelved.

The imperial power was repeatedly challenged, and the emperor had to back down repeatedly, and the authority of the imperial court was greatly reduced.

After the royal families such as the feudal kings and county kings in various places learned that the two county kings of the Shu Dynasty were not questioned, they all had ideas, and there were not a few who were ready to move.

Even the literary and artistic young King of Lu, Zhu Changshu, wrote a letter to send eunuchs to contact the kings, and he also specially asked his brother Zhu Changshu, the king of Changyuan, to secretly rush to Tianjin Wei to take a boat to "Hanjiang Province" to have a look.

At the end of April, the civil and military officials were gloomy, and at this time Liang Tingdong, Zhang Fengyi, and Wu Xiang had already left Beijing.

They did not go back to "Hanjiang Province" at all, nor did they go to Shanhaiguan, but lobbied everywhere to contribute to attracting investment.

The Ming Dynasty faced the dilemma of having no soldiers to adjust, and the latest news came that the Liukou people doubled in a month, and the people and horses united with the Qing army to capture the town of Guyuan and then pointed to Lintao Mansion.

After seizing Yan'an Mansion, they were busy building siege equipment and preparing to storm Yulin Town.

Chongzhen, who had nothing to do, asked Ji Qunchen, but no one spoke for a long time.

The current first assistant is a literati Kong Zhenyun who is good at dancing and writing ink, he doesn't understand military dependents, doesn't understand civil affairs, and can't do the first assistant work in the peaceful year, where can he get mixed up in the eleven years of Chongzhen, which is close to the end of the mountain?

The emperor asked if there was no minister to play the right thing, if Wen Tiren was still the first assistant, what would happen if he would not be cold and make the emperor ugly, but Kong Zhenyun chose to shrink his neck like an old monk and not look at the emperor.
