Chapter 336: Nan Ming is infighting

This is also a little different from history, in history, Zierharang and Luck Dehun relied on the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry to first capture He Tengjiao for selfish use, disrupted the command system of the Ming army, and then defeated the Ming army in half a year, and then thought that the threat of the Ming army had been eliminated, coupled with the rebellion of the people in Shanxi, so that the two Manchurian Mongolian banners commanded by the man's Jierharang were withdrawn.

But this time was different, the emergence of the Volunteers made Dolgon feel that the troops were insufficient, and in the first year of Yongli (1647), after the Volunteers killed Haoge, they appointed Wu Sangui to lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry into Guanzhong, so that he could run the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

Changed the title of Kong Youde to the king of Dingnan, and continued to Shun Gong Shen Yongzhong to manage the lake (south, Guangzhou, west region.

Ling Shang Kexi was the king of Pingnan, Geng Zhongming was the king of Jingnan, and he was ordered to run the Jiangxi (west) and Guangdong regions.

After two years of operation, Wu Sangui's headquarters reached 50,000 soldiers and horses, Kong Youde reached 30,000, Shang Kexi reached 18,000, Geng Zhongming reached 12,000, (Kong Youde was originally 20,000 in history), and the strength was far stronger than the historical level.

This time, Jierharang and Luck Dehun marched into Huhu (south, although they defeated He Tengjiao's troops, but the volunteers were out of the army (the state defeated Yuanzhou, Jingzhou, and Wugang Tartars, especially in Yuanzhou (where the governor of Biyuan was stationed, Chang (Sha) was not the provincial capital at that time, and Huguang Province also set up a Biyuan governor) and other places.

In this way, this expedition of Jierharang became a sandwich meal, and Jierharang decided to lead his troops to continue to garrison Chang (Sha), and ordered Shen Yongzhong, the Duke of Xushun, to lead all the troops to defend against the volunteer army in Xiangxi, and ordered Kong Youde to lead his troops to capture Guilin.

Of course, there are many full fans because this war will be invincible in the world, there is no doubt that the Ming army was the first to eat other fronts, and the Ming army was defeated one after another (such as Nanchang was occupied and Jin Shenghuan was killed. Li Chengdong died in a nest), poor intelligence (how Tengjiao was arrested, Hao Yongzhong was defeated), and the losses of each fighting for each other led to the rapid collapse of various departments, but if you claim to be so powerful, it is still an exaggeration. After all, in history, the Ming army was quickly defeated and quickly regained a lot of occupied territory.

Under these conditions, in the direction of Guangdong, after half a year's rest, the hardcore traitors and barbarians of Qingping, the southern king of Qingping, Shang Kexi, and the king of Jingnan, Geng Zhongming, began to set out, and on October 30 of this year, they successfully attacked Nanxiong Mansion, and then within seven days, the Qing army won and captured Shaoguan without a fight. (2 months earlier than in history)

Shaoguan was lost, and the fleeing emperor Zhu Youlang panicked and hurriedly convened the ministers to discuss the matter.

Seeing that Guangzhou was in danger, the Dongxun group headed by Li Yuanyin hoped that Emperor Yongli could temporarily compromise, crown Yang Xuan as the king of Shu, resolve the dispute between the two sides, and the volunteers went out of Yunguichuan to solve the siege of eastern Guangdong.

After Li Chengdong anyway, the officials represented by him formed the Dongxun group, while Emperor Yongli was worried about the suffering of the war and wanted to withdraw from Zhaoqing.

On this day, seeing that Emperor Yongli summoned everyone to discuss matters, Li Yuanyin admonished: "Emperor, now Yang Xuan asks the envoy Liu Lanchang to be on the line, if the emperor appoints Yang Xuan as the king of Shu, with the king of Shu's soldiers strong and strong, he will support the army to march eastward, so that our army will not have to worry about it." ”

Yan Qiheng, a scholar of the cabinet, shook his head and said: "Master Hou, Yang Xuan's wolf ambition, if he is made the king of Shu and let him be the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou, then the world will not die in the barbarian Qing Dynasty, but will die in the hands of Yang Xuan." ”

In the matter, Wang Fuzhi shook his head and said: "Scholar Yan's words are wrong, now that the imperial court is in a critical situation, Yang Zixiu has repeatedly made military exploits, since the imperial court wants to reward him."

In order to fight against the Tartars, Yang Xuan asked to be renamed the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou, which was not inappropriate, but the imperial court was very suspicious of him, and he refused to ask for the title sternly, so it must be cold to the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals.

Besides, in the middle of the way, a Cheng biting gold, Chen Bangchuan actually falsely passed the holy decree to seal him as the Duke of Qianguo, and named him the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou, Yang Xuan copied these two holy decrees, thinking that the two holy decrees were true, and he had already served as the Duke of Qianguo according to the holy decree and the seal ribbon granted by the imperial court, and served as the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhou, and claimed that he was about to go to Guizhou (Zhou, in order to lead the army eastward.

And the emperor actually obeyed the will of the second and third ministers of the imperial court to publicly refute Yang Xuan's invitation, which caused everyone to be unconvinced, and everyone supported it again and again, so Yang Xuan reluctantly served as the king of Shu, and said vigorously that he was just following the sages and Yue Wumu. ”

Yan Qiheng shook his head and said: "Having said that, but the ancestors ruled, non-princes are not allowed to be crowned kings, Yang Xuan is good, and asks to follow the example of the Duke of Qianguo to call himself the king of Shu."

Everyone, let's take a look, Yang Xuan privately engraved the official seal, appointed officials, Yang Xuan changed the dynasty, and actually created a council.

There is also this "Popular Magazine" from time to time to publish articles about the slaughter of heroes by Hong Wuye, Grandpa Cheng, and Jiajingye, openly promoting Mencius's proposition, saying that the country is the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light.

You see, here is the huge CD) plain, and the Shu royal clan actually occupied seventy percent of the land.

Yun (Nanqian Guogong Circle occupied thousands of dumps of land, and Yang Xuan was so good that he returned the encircled land to the people.

Everyone knows that "Popular Xunkan" is a publication founded by Yang Xuan, and Yang Xuan openly attacked the royal family, how different are these remarks from rebellion? ”

Wang Fuzhi shook his head and said: "Scholar Yan, I have freedom of association early tomorrow, Donglin Party member, which one of the academies in various places does not publish some publications?" Those who don't evaluate the government and politics, these remarks have been published in the journals in the past, why can't others but not the popular magazines?"

Yan Qiheng shook his head again and again: "Others have no power and no power, and they don't have much influence.

Yang Xuan vigorously supports the popular magazine behind the scenes, and of course this kind of remark is not allowed.

Everyone, I will never make wedding clothes for Yang Xuan, I have rules in my Ming Dynasty, he Yang Xuan wants to be disobedient and make trouble, and he actually calls himself the prince, which is really rebellious."

Hearing Yan Qiheng say this, everyone had no choice, but then when it came to the current military, everyone shook their heads and sighed, while Emperor Yongli was bent on moving the capital.

Li Yuanyin admonished: "Within half a year, there will be three or four broadcasts, and the soldiers and the people are suspicious." If the emperor is in Guangdong, then Guangdong can be preserved, and if the emperor leaves Guangdong, then Guangdong will be in crisis.

Now the situation is one step forward for me, and everyone will follow me and wait for one step forward. If I slack off for one day, everyone will slack off for another day. ”

Emperor Yongli shook his head and said, "Qing doesn't want to kill Sheji's ears." ”

So despite the dissuasion of everyone, he moved to Wuzhou, but Li Yuanyin's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to ask for an order to stay in Zhaoqing.

After seeing Emperor Yongli move to Wuzhou, Wang Fuzi was very sad and angry, and found Yuan Pengnian and others and said: "Brother Jiemei, now the only person who can save the overall situation is Yang Xuan and Yang Zixiu, the king of Shu, I want to go to lobby the king of Shu, if he agrees to the east, Brother Jiemei and others need to beg the emperor to divide him as the king of Shu."

Yuan Pengnian also shook his head and said: "Now it is the autumn of survival, and Brother Nong should do it." Persuade the king of Shu to change his mind, and there are eggs under the nest, if he can't sweep away the tartars, how can the king of Shu be like Liu Bei to dominate the southwest?

If the king of Shu can really restore the world, the people of the world will definitely beg the emperor to seal the territory and divide the southwest half of the country for the rule of the king of Shu."

Wang Fuzhi immediately packed his bags and hurried all the way to Guiyang.

After Emperor Yongli returned to Wuzhou and entered the territory of Chen Bangchuan, he immediately launched a party struggle to purge the Chu Party, that is, Li Chengdong's Dongxun group.

In order to control the situation, in March of this year (1650 AD, the fourth year of Yongli), Wu Zhenyu, the head of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Zhiqi, Cheng Yuan, Wan Ao, and Zhang Xiaoqi of the Ministry of War, jointly exposed Yuan Pengnian, Liu Xiangke, Ding Shikui, Jin Bao, and Meng Zhengfa The crime of "controlling the government and doing private business" was reckless.

Zhu Youlang was already dissatisfied with the arrogant and rebellious behavior of the five tigers in relying on the military power of Li Chengdong and Li Yuanyin's father and son, and now after getting out of his control, he immediately overturned the case and arrested the five people for review.

After Qu Shiyun, a scholar who stayed at Guilin University, learned from the newspaper that the situation had been reversed, he immediately applied to save the five tigers.

Yuan Pengnian was relieved of his official position in the name of Ding Wei, and the other four were sentenced to confiscation after the court staff.
