Volume 8 Chapter 72 The Shameless Destroy the Great Wall
A red pill killed two emperors, although there were all kinds of distorted facts and various cover-ups behind the eunuchs, they couldn't change the fact that Ming Guangzong and Ming Xizong were in the prime of life when they died, and they didn't have any serious illnesses, and they both died suddenly after eating the so-called immortal medicine!
No matter how underdeveloped the medical level of the Ming Dynasty is, it is impossible to cure minor diseases such as wind cold, cold, diarrhea, etc., the imperial doctors of the palace do not say that they can live the dead, flesh and bones, and they will definitely be able to cure ordinary diseases, but unfortunately, Guangzong and Xizong have no power to let the imperial doctors heal, they can only be pinched by those eunuchs in their hands to pour immortal medicine!
Zhu Cihong was frightened at this moment, his imperial grandfather and imperial uncle died unexplained, and what was even more terrifying was that the two did not make any waves after they died, as if they were normal deaths!
He didn't want to die so "normal", he was twenty or thirty years old, in the prime of life, and he had a minor illness, and then someone fed the immortal medicine, and then he hung up!
His face was full of horror and said, "Master, what should I do then?" I don't want to die so inexplicably! ”
Zhang Bin didn't want to scare Zhu Cihong, but he just happened to talk about the three major cases in the court at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so he simply analyzed the truth behind the three major cases to Zhu Cihong, so that Zhu Cihong could be vigilant and not trust people he was not familiar with, but he didn't expect this time to frighten the little prince.
This is not his original intention, if Zhu Cihong is scared like Chongzhen, he is suspicious, and he doubts this and that all day long, it will be troublesome.
He hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid, you don't have no people around you like the first emperor who can be trusted, you have the queen's mother, the emperor's aunt, and the master, we won't let others bully you, let alone allow others to harm you." ”
When Zhu Cihong heard this, he subconsciously shrank into Zhang Yan's arms, and under Zhang Yan's comfort, the frightened look on his face finally slowly receded.
Seeing this, Zhang Bin hurriedly diverted the topic again and said: "Okay, let's not talk about the things in the palace, let's continue to talk about Jiannu." ”
Immediately afterwards, he introduced the situation in Liaodong after the Battle of Salhu in a heavy tone.
In fact, the impact of the Battle of Sarhu on the Ming Dynasty was not fatal enough, after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and even if the Ming Dynasty lost 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers, even if it lost Tieling and Kaiyuan, it would not collapse.
And then Jin, at that time, they were not even horses, even if they won the victory of the Battle of Sarhu, even if they occupied Tieling and Kaiyuan, even if they unified the Jurchen tribes, the population was still less than one million, and the army was still less than 100,000, in front of the giant Ming Dynasty, they were still so small, as long as the Ming did not cut off their hands and feet and destroy the Great Wall, it would be difficult for them to defeat the Ming again.
Yang Hao's personal vendetta led to the fiasco of Salhu, and the Zhejiang Party was still trying its best to defend him, but after the Tieling and Kaiyuan were lost one after another, the Beijing Division was shaken, and the imperial historians ignored the suppression of the Zhejiang Party, and played the impeachment of Yang Hao, and the Zhejiang Party finally couldn't hold it down, and Yang Hao was thrown into prison and sentenced to death.
In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Tieling and Kaiyuan were lost one after another, Mingshenzong hurriedly organized a court meeting, and the court officials elected the original Liaodong Patrol Xiong Tingbi to replace Yang Hao through Liaodong, Mingshenzong was wise before his death, and adopted the advice of the courtiers, and promoted Xiong Tingbi to the right attendant of the military department and the right to the imperial history, and Yang Hao was the Liaodong Jingluo.
Although Xiong Tingbi is the Chu Party, but it is a rare cadre, after he arrived in Liaodong, recruited displaced people, expanded the army, cleaned up military discipline, built chariots, refined firearms, and dredging trenches to repair the city, so that the defense of the cities in Liaodong increased greatly, Nurhachi had no way to face the strong defense line built by Xiong Tingbi, and could only look at the city and sigh.
In this way, the situation in Liaodong was stabilized by him, and within a year, he expanded the Liaodong army to more than 100,000, and his combat strength even exceeded that before the Battle of Sarhu.
Immediately afterwards, he began to send troops to attack, constantly harassing Jiannu's stronghold in the upper reaches of the Hunhe River, causing Nurha to be so anxious that he almost wanted to spurt blood.
If the situation continues to develop like this, Jiannu will definitely end up hating, because whether it is national strength or population, Jiannu at that time cannot be compared with the Ming Dynasty, even if it is purely harassing tactics, it will kill them.
It's a pity that at this time, a shameless person jumped out again.
This shameless man is Yao Zongwen, the soon-to-be-born leader of the Zhejiang Party!
Of course, at this time, Yao Zongwen was not the leader of the Zhejiang Party, this Yao Zongwen was originally in the household department, because Ding Wei resigned and returned to his hometown, and after returning to the dynasty, he wanted to become an official, but no one was willing to recommend him, so he wrote to Xiong Tingbi and asked Xiong Tingbi to recommend him.
Xiong Tingbi knows this person quite well, knowing that this guy is selfish and greedy, and sooner or later something will happen, in order to avoid being implicated in him in the future, Xiong Tingbi didn't pay attention to him at all, and Yao Zongwen has held a grudge since then.
Later, Shenzong and Guangzong passed away one after another, Xizong succeeded to the throne, and Wei Zhongxian gradually ascended to the throne by virtue of his relationship with his nursing mother, the Ke family, and his ambition was gradually revealed.
In order to control the court, Wei Zhongxian weaved party henchmen everywhere, Yao Zongwen seized the opportunity and posted it, and soon the official was reinstated, and made up for the fat shortage in the matter of the official department, and the first thing he did after taking office was to apply to go to Liaodong for a review!
Don't ask, this guy just wants to announce his personal vendetta, he went to Liaodong to make things difficult for Xiong Tingbi, and asked Xiong Tingbi for a bribe, Xiong Tingbi still didn't pay attention to him, and now he was even more annoyed, and vowed to pull Xiong Tingbi off the horse!
After he returned to the court, he instigated his fellow eunuchs to slander Xiong Tingbi, saying that he not only did nothing in Liaodong, but also deceived the monarch and concealed the military situation and did not report it.
At this time, Donglin was still in power above the court, although Xiong Tingbi was the Chu Party, he had a good relationship with Donglin, and Donglin also knew his exploits in Liaodong, so he tried his best to maintain it, but he didn't expect that this matter attracted the hostility of Wei Zhongxian.
Because Wei Zhongxian almost pinched Ming Xizong in his hands with his master Li Xuanzhi to control the government, it was Donglin's group of ministers who ruined their good deeds, and he had always held a grudge against this matter.
The Sprinkle family you support will be opposed, and the Sprinkle family is to pull Xiong Tingbi off the horse, so that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military can see the methods of the Sprinkle family!
At this time, the eunuch party was gradually strengthened, and under the pressure of the eunuch party, Xiong Tingbi was finally deposed, and Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, temporarily took over his post of manager.
Because of the eunuchs, Daming once again self-destroyed the Great Wall, Xiong Tingbi left, and his general soldiers suddenly blew up, they believed that this was caused by the conspiracy of the Chinese courtiers against Xiong Tingbi, so they were also a civilian Yuan Yingtai quite resistant, and the situation in Liaodong gradually began to erode.
As soon as Nurhachi heard the news of Xiong Tingbi's deposition, he organized a large army to attack Shenyang, at that time, Shenyang City was garrisoned by more than 20,000 soldiers of the general soldier He Shixian and the general soldier You Shiquan, if they held the city to the death, Nurhachi was helpless.
It's a pity that the chief soldier He Shixian was drunk and misunderstood, led the army out of the city to pursue the Jiannu reconnaissance cavalry, fell into Nurhachi's plan to lure the enemy, was ambushed by Jiannu, was hit by several arrows, fled in panic, the general soldier You Shigong saw that He Shixian was chased and killed by Jiannu outside the city and hurriedly led the troops to the rescue, as a result, Nurhachi ambushed the soldiers, the two general soldiers were both killed, the Shenyang city group was leaderless, and suddenly there was chaos, Nurhachi took the opportunity to raid and won Shenyang City in one fell swoop!
Speaking of this, Zhang Bin couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "It's a pity, if Xiong Tingbi is here, how can He Shixian dare to drink in the barracks, how can he get drunk and make mistakes, and how can Xiongcheng Shenyang be easily taken by Jiannu!" ”
Zhu Cihong couldn't help but sigh and said: "Why is this He Shixian so stupid, it's okay to guard the city well, why do you take the liberty of attacking?" ”
Zhang Bin shook his head and sighed: "Actually, it's not that He Shixian is too stupid, but that Nurhachi is too cunning, he used scout horses to lure outside the city not once or twice, but many times, and each time he sent old and weak soldiers, so that the defenders in the city killed several waves, He Shixian therefore had the heart to despise the enemy, coupled with drunkenness and misdeeds, it is not surprising that he fell into his evil deeds." Therefore, we must pay attention to keep a clear head, not to be confused, and not to get carried away. ”
