In the thousands of years of Chinese history, has there ever been a traverser?

I can't draw a definite conclusion on this question, I can only say that there are some suspected people who cross the road.

Among these suspected cross-border people, the most suspicious is Wang Mang, who is the usurper Wang Mang.

The development process of this benevolent brother in the Western Han Dynasty is really more wonderful than that of many time-traveling novels.

Like many routines in novels, the protagonist Wang Mang was a man with his tail between his legs at first, but he secretly developed his own power, courtesy corporal, and recruited talents;

then accumulate a lot, make a splash, directly rebel, and establish a new dynasty of its own;

Then a comprehensive reform will make the ancient kingdom reborn and take off;

In the end, he started a war with the outside world, swept the whole world, and unified the world.

It's a pity that he only succeeded in two steps, and in the third step, when he was in a comprehensive reform, he failed because of too much resistance.

Just look at the content of his reforms, you can see that this thing is too much like a traverser.

Like the abolition of slavery, on the grounds that all men are created equal;

For example, in the establishment of a loan system, businessmen can borrow from the state at an interest rate of 10 percent;

Like encouraging invention, the vernier caliper he invented was almost no different from modern times, and he even developed the prototype of a wooden airplane!

Of course, Wang Mang and Zhang Bin are not related in any other way except that they may be classified as suspected traversers by later generations.

If you want to say that the suspected travelers related to Zhang Bin are Liu Bowen and Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice, because one of them wrote "Song of Baked Cakes", and the other two collaborated on "Tui Bei Tu", in these two prophetic ancient books, the scene of the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty is mentioned.

As Liu Bowen's "Song of Baked Cakes" describes:

The old gold essence is particularly strong, and it is said that Kunyu follows the dragon hall.

Who appoints Bao Sheji, 8,000 female ghosts are chaotic.

And Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang's "Pushing Back Picture" describes it like this:

The loyal ministers and wise men have sunk, and the apocalypse has become even more numerous.

Even if he has a bright mind and confesses, Qiankun does not belong to the old Ming Jun.

The eight poems of "Song of Baked Cakes" and "Tui Bei Tu" must be incomprehensible to people in the early Ming Dynasty, and even more incomprehensible to people in the Tang Dynasty, but after the death of the Ming Dynasty, it is easier to understand.

For example, the sentences of "Baked Cake Song".

Doesn't the old gold selection essence refer to the Later Jin, when the Later Jin becomes stronger, the Ming Dynasty should be finished.

Kunyu is supposed to deal with the golden essence, and it is also a metaphor, a piece of jade is naturally impossible to succeed Longtang, and it should be understood as Kunzhong, that is, the elder brother and the younger brother.

Who appoints Bao Sheji, 8,000 female ghosts are chaotic. These two sentences are combined to understand that is, who do you use to protect Sheji, blind, and use that guy called Eight Thousand Female Ghosts to cause trouble for the dynasty!

Who are these 8,000 female ghosts? Why does he have such a powerful energy to cause chaos in the court?

If you take the literal meaning of the eight thousand female ghosts, it is unimaginable, where did the eight thousand female ghosts come from?

However, if you combine the words of eight thousand female ghosts, isn't it the word "Wei", plus the first sentence in "Tui Bei Tu", the name is pointed out, this person is the famous eunuch Bingbi and the admiral of Dongchang during the Apocalypse - Wei Zhongxian!

To sum up, it simply is: During the period from the Apocalypse Dynasty to the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Houjin Society rose, and there was a person named Wei Zhongxian who would cause chaos in the dynasty, and when the loyal ministers and wise men were all harmed by him, the world would inevitably be in chaos, and the Ming Dynasty would be finished.

Why did Liu Bowen, Li Chunfeng, and Yuan Tiangang all point out Wei Zhongxian? What does the fall of the Ming Dynasty have to do with Wei Zhongxian?

To understand this problem, it is necessary to figure out what kind of person Wei Zhongxian is, and let's analyze it in combination with historical data.

The first is Wei Zhongxian's life experience.

Wei Zhongxian, a native of Suning, Hebei, was born in the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, and was elected to the palace in the seventeenth year of Wanli, his father was called Wei Zhimin, and his mother was Liu, both of whom were farmers.

In other words, Wei Zhongxian was born as a poor peasant and only entered the palace at the age of twenty-two.

This is a bit strange, generally eunuchs are called by adults when they are young and enter the palace, why did Wei Zhongxian enter the palace at the age of twenty-two?

History of the Ming Dynasty. It is recorded in the Records of Eunuchs: Wei Zhongxian "fought with the evil of the masses, was invincible, suffered for it, and self-indulged in the palace." ”。

The meaning is very simple, Wei Zhongxian loves to gamble, but he lost the gamble, and he was forced to have no choice but to castrate himself and go to the palace to find an errand as a eunuch.

In other words, Wei Zhongxian is an idle ruffian hooligan, loves to gamble, and is very ruthless, a twenty-two-year-old person who can wield a knife from the palace, I don't know how ruthless!

......

Then talk about Wei Zhongxian's promotion path.

Many people know that Wei Zhongxian relied on the mother of Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao to ascend to the throne, but he ignored two other important figures, one was the person who introduced Wei Zhongxian to the palace, and the other was the person who appreciated and promoted Wei Zhongxian.

It stands to reason that even if an idle ruffian rascal castrates himself, how can he sneak into the palace?

This is all the credit of Wei Zhongxian's first benefactor and the Wei Dynasty.

The Wei Dynasty was a subordinate of Wang An, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, and was also Wei Zhongxian's subordinate brother, who took his brother by the hand, got Wei Zhongxian into the palace, and recommended him to Wang An.

And how did Wei Zhongxian repay the Wei Dynasty?

He robbed the Wei Dynasty's target of the meal, the Ke Clan, and then pretended to be the emperor's order and sent the Wei Dynasty to Fengyang.

The ending of the Wei Dynasty was not bad, but Wei Zhongxian's second benefactor, that is, Wang An, who promoted him from a small eunuch to a eunuch in charge, was called a miserable one.

The reason why Wang An ended miserably was very simple, because he was too upright, always managing Wei Zhongxian and not letting him do evil, Wei Zhongxian was quite jealous of him, so he wanted to get rid of him.

Wei Zhongxian was extremely cruel to Wang An, he first instigated Huo Weihua to criticize Wang An, demoted Wang An to serve as the net army of Nanhaizi, and then promoted his confidant Liu Chao to Nanhaizi as the governor and asked him to kill Wang An.

His order to Liu Chao was to starve Wang An to death, so after Liu Chao took office, he ordered that he was not allowed to send food to Wang An, but he didn't expect Wang An to use his hands to dig the radish under the fence to eat, but he starved for three days and three nights and did not starve to death, Liu Chao had no choice but to kill him directly.

This is still the case for benefactors, and for others, it is conceivable that if the apocalypse dares to reuse such a person, it can only be said that he is really brave enough.

......

Then talk about Wei Zhongxian's way of governing the country

How can an illiterate ruffian rule the country, his way of governing the country is very simple, that is, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die!

What is the prosperity of those who obey me, it can be seen from the promotion path of the backbone of the eunuch party.

Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs are countless, and the more famous ones are the five tigers, five biao, and ten dogs, all of which are his godsons, the absolute core of the eunuch party.

For example, Wei Zhongxian's godson, the head of the Five Tigers, the secretary of the military department and the prince of the left governor Yu Shi Jia Taibao Cui Chengxiu, in the second year of the Apocalypse, he was only the governor of the Guangdong Provincial Inspectorate of the Imperial History, and later because of favoritism and corruption, he was caught by the then left governor Yu Shi Gao Panlong, and was dismissed and investigated.

He had no choice but to defect to Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, kowtow and weep, begging for his adopted son, and as a result, within two years he was promoted from a criminal Zhengqipin Inspector to the military department Shangshu and the left governor of the imperial history and the prince Taibao.

Another example is another godson, one of the Five Tigers, the right deputy of the Imperial Inspectorate, the Imperial Historian, the Taifu Siqing, the Prince and the Taifu, the Ministry of Works, Shangshu Wu Dunfu, in the second year of the Apocalypse, was only a military officer in Xi'an, Shaanxi, who was only a five-grade soldier, and then Jingcha was unqualified, was dismissed, and was idle at home.

He also had no choice but to take refuge in Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, and begged to be his adopted son, and as a result, within a year, he was promoted from a deposed military officer to the right deputy of the Imperial Inspectorate.

For another example, Wei Zhongxian's godson, Tian Ergeng, the head of the Five Biaos, relied on his ancestral Yin to get the idle position of the governor of the left capital, and he was cunning and vicious, and he fell in love with Wei Zhongxian by virtue of his relationship with Wei Zhongxian's nephew Wei Liangqing, and was directly promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

For another example, the head of the Ten Dogs, Zhou Yingqiu, the head of the Left Governor Yu Shijia, the prince and the prince of the Ministry of Officials, before defecting to Wei Zhongxian, was the official to the Ministry of Works, and Jing Chade commented that "there is no integrity in life!" He had to thank him for his illness.

After attaching to Wei Zhongxian, within two years he was promoted to the left governor of the imperial history of the prince and the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, he attached to Wei Zhongxian to take the road of Wei Liangqing, because he was good at cooking, every time he invited Wei Liangqing, into the porpoise hooves to drink, Liangqing was happy, and the time name was "simmering hooves general constitution".

After taking office, he immediately revealed his true character of "no ethics in life", and shared bribes with Wen Xuanlang Li Kui and Long Mang, and expelled the DPRK and China.

In short, Wei Zhongxian promotes people, regardless of ability or conduct, there is only one standard, that is, whether you join the eunuch party, whether you recognize me as a godfather or godfather, if you join the eunuch party, you will immediately be added to the official rank, if you recognize me as a godfather or godfather, you will immediately be promoted!

This is Wei Zhongxian's way of appointing people, those who follow me are prosperous, so that in the last years of the Apocalypse, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were basically eunuchs, and most of them were his godsons or godsons!

What is the death of those who oppose me, it can be seen from the experience of his opponent Donglin Party.

For example, Yang Lian, one of the six gentlemen of the Donglin Party, was a jinshi in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, the first time he was familiar with the county, the first honest official in the country, and he was appointed to the middle of the court, and then he was promoted to the military department to give the middle of the matter, and the left deputy capital Yushi, because of the 24 major crimes of playing Wei Zhongxian, was framed and died tragically in prison.

Another example is Gao Panlong, one of the seven gentlemen of the Donglin Party, who was the left governor of Yushi at the time, was upright, and was dismissed and returned to his hometown for exposing Cui Chengxiu's bribery.

For another example, one of the seven gentlemen of the Donglin Party, Huang Zunsu, the father of the great writer Huang Zongxi, was a jinshi in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, and was promoted to the imperial history at the beginning of the Apocalypse. Later, he disobeyed Wei Zhongxian's intentions again, was cut off, and was soon arrested and imprisoned, tortured to death.

In short, Wei Zhongxian does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, does not care about good and evil, whoever goes against my will will all die, even if you are dismissed and return to your hometown, I will arrest you back and torture you to death.

If you want to just bring down or kill political enemies, this method is just a little ruthless, not too much of a crime, the problem Wei Zhongxian is not only to bring down, not just to kill, he is extremely cruel to political opponents.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Donglin Party is a political enemy, he was impeached, and he should be dismissed and investigated, or killed, it is not an exaggeration, the problem is that he is not simply killed, but the tortured people are broken bones and tendons, and the flesh and blood are all off, and then the rusty iron nails are nailed into the ears and nailed people to death!

Even, after he died, he had their throat bones cut out and burned to ashes, and ...... later plot had come out of the realm of humanity and could not be described in detail.

In short, the loyal people who were brutally murdered by him, when the corpses were brought out of the prison, they were basically all festered, and they were miserable, and some even had to break a few pieces of bloody clothes and a few bones, and the cruelty of the means was beyond the ages and the present!

In doing so, he not only led to the eunuchs of the Manchu Dynasty, and all officials took the promotion of every horse as a promotion, but also killed almost all the upright hard bones of the Ming Dynasty, and the rest were basically soft bones, greedy for life and afraid of death.

In the Chongzhen Dynasty, in the face of Houjin, kneeling and surrendering, traitors to seek glory abounded, why, because the backbone of the Ming Dynasty was almost emptied by Wei Zhongxian!

Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Chaorui and other upright people, in the face of the eunuchs, no matter if you peel your skin and cramps, no matter if you cut your flesh and remove your bones, no matter if you have iron nails in your ears, you are still iron-clad, in the face of Houjin, will they give in? Will they surrender? If they are still there, does Qian Qianyi have the face to say that the water is too cold?

......

Let's talk about some rumors about Wei Zhongxian.

Rumor 1, Father-in-law Wei is still relatively active in fighting against foreign enemies, so how does Father-in-law Wei fight against foreign enemies?

In the second year of the Apocalypse, when the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin Dynasty suffered successive defeats and the border situation was critical, Sun Chengzong replaced Wang Zaijin as the Jiliao Governor, built the Guanningjin defense line, led the army of 110,000, recovered more than 400 miles of lost land, selected and trained a group of civil and military generals such as Ma Shilong, Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Zu Dashou, etc., built nine large cities, more than 40 small castles, more than 5,000 hectares of tuntian, resettled nearly one million war refugees, and forced Nurhachi to retreat 700 miles, with outstanding achievements.

However, because he was a member of the Donglin Party, Wei Zhongxian did not care about the merits of the party, regardless of the major border defense affairs, so that the party henchmen Li Fan, Cui Chengxiu, and Xu Dahua repeatedly slandered Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong was forced to resign and return to his hometown, so Wei Zhongxian replaced himself with his close confidant Gao Di.

Nurhachi learned that Sun Chengzong was deposed, and then led a large army to cross the Liao River to the west and attack Ningyuan. After Yuan Chonghuan learned about it, he immediately wrote a blood letter, and swore an oath with the generals Man Gui, the deputy generals Zuo Fu and Zhu Mei, the general Zu Dashou, and the garrison He Kegang to defend the city to the death, and successively won the great victory of Ningyuan and Ningjin.

What is the result? Wei Zhongxian ordered his henchmen to impeach Yuan Chonghuan for not rescuing Jinzhou, and when he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, he only increased Yuan Chonghuan's official rank, so angry that Yuan Chonghuan resigned and returned to his hometown, but Wei Zhongxian's nephews and nephews were added to the rank of knight because of Ning Yuan's great victory and Ning Jin's great victory, and he was a very popular minister, poor Yuan Chonghuan, on the merits of the two wars, there was no Wei Zhongxian's nephew, who was only one year old and couldn't walk!

After talking about Liaodong and talking about the southeast, the right deputy imperial envoy of Fujian, Nan Juyi, personally led the army, fought hard for seven months, drove away the Dutch colonists, and recovered Penghu, such great achievements are enough to go down in history, the result? After he returned to the court, he was squeezed out by Wei Zhongxian and returned to his hometown directly!

This is Wei Zhongxian's way of external affairs, he doesn't care about foreign enemies, he just fights for power and profit, and the credit for winning the battle is all his.

Rumor 2 is that the Wei Gong Guild collects taxes, and the Ming Dynasty is supported by the taxes he collects.

This rumor has never been a few sentences, and there is no specific data, so what is the real situation?

In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, the Liao salary was levied, and the annual tax revenue totaled 10,000 and 62 taels;

During the Apocalypse, the highest tax year was the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and with the Liaoyu, the total annual tax revenue was 587,420 taels;

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the salary was increased to one and a half cents, and the annual tax totaled 7,488,298 taels;

Chongzhen ten years, plus the salary, the annual tax total 10,811,360 taels;

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, with the addition of training, the annual tax totaled more than 17 million taels.

The increase in salaries and training salaries has caused the people of the world to be poor, and the construction of slaves and anti-thieves is not exhausted, this is the reason why Chongzhen has no money to fight, I don't know how it is rumored that there is no Wei Zhongxian, and the court can't collect taxes!

Of course, this tax is not the credit of Wei Zhongxian, nor the credit of the Donglin Party, but the credit of the household department.

If Wei Zhongxian is so omnipotent, why don't you see him fighting Houjin, fighting the Japanese invaders, hiding in the capital every day, and relying on the favor of the apocalypse to claim the king and dominate, which is considered capable?

There are some even more ridiculous rumors

For example, Cao Huachun said good things about Wei Zhongxian when Chongzhen couldn't borrow money, saying that "if Father-in-law Wei is here, it won't be like this." ”

This is really a strange injustice through the ages, Cao Huachun Chongzhen returned to his hometown in February of the twelfth year, how did he run back to the palace to say this to Emperor Chongzhen in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen?

For another example, when Li Zicheng was about to come in, Chongzhen regretted it and rebuilt Wei Zhongxian's tomb, which I don't know was written in that novel, anyway, it is not recorded in any history books.

At that time, Li Zi CD was about to break through the capital, Chongzhen couldn't even pay his military salary, he would be idle and pay for Wei Zhongxian's tomb?

It can only be said that the person who fabricated this has a big brain.

There is a rumor, that is, the apocalypse has an evaluation of Wei Zhongxian, which may be true.

Because he has always trusted Wei Zhongxian, regarded Wei Zhongxian as a cronie, and handed over all national affairs to him to deal with, saying that Wei Zhongxian "is faithful and loyal, and can count big things." "It's not surprising at all.

Even if Tianqi was about to die, he woke up and didn't trust Wei Zhongxian, did he dare to say anything else?

At that time, the entire palace was full of Wei Zhongxian's minions, and he dared to say to Chongzhen: "Brother, my brother killed Wei Zhongxian, you must avenge me." ”

He dared to say that, wouldn't that harm Chongzhen.

If he said so, it is estimated that the history books will record it like this: The apocalypse collapsed, and his younger brother Zhu Youzhen, the king of Xin, was so sad that he cried and fainted before the bed, and died!

In general, God enabled Wei Zhongxian to clean up the Donglin Party, this, that's right, anyway, Wei Zhongxian is a ruffian, unreasonable, shameless, Xiucai meets soldiers, and he can't explain reasonably, Jinshi meets a ruffian, so there is no way to be reasonable, Wei Zhongxian cleans up the Donglin Party, that's appropriate.

However, to govern the country with a ruffian who can't read words, then, you can only, hehe.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty died in whose hands, this cannot be predetermined.

There are causes of natural disasters and there are causes of man-made disasters;

There are reasons for partisanship, and there are reasons for corruption;

There are reasons for land annexation, there are reasons for the incompetence of the ministers, and so on and so forth.

If it is insisted on attributing it to a certain person or certain people, it will be biased.

This pot, Chongzhen said that he would not carry it, he was at least a rare diligent emperor through the ages, never indulged in women, nor greedy for pleasure.

The Donglin Party said that they could not afford to carry this pot, because they did not cause trouble to the government, and the party struggle was not provoked by their party.

Wei Zhongxian actually can't afford this pot, he just caused chaos in the dynasty, at least when he died, the Ming Dynasty had not yet died.

It should be said that Wei Zhongxian just played the overture to the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, because after he messed around, the party struggle completely deteriorated.

At the beginning, when the Donglin Party was fighting with the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and the Qi Party, at least on the surface, everyone was still more upright, more capable, and more national and people-oriented.

When it comes to Wei Zhongxian, the party struggle has become more unscrupulous and shameless than anyone!

When the ministers of the court began to be more unscrupulous and shameless than anyone, it would be strange if the world was not chaotic.
