Chapter 317: Li Chengdong Anyway
Gong Wanjing and Li Yueru had just walked for a few days, and news came from Guangzhou that the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who had killed the first emperor and captured the first emperor, had changed Li Chengdong to reform and return to the Ming Dynasty.
Chu and Han fought, and those soldiers who killed Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, had many rewards, and it stands to reason that Li Chengdong, who shot and captured the first emperor, should dominate one side and become an important minister of the imperial court.
Li Chengdong did not shoot the first emperor (Emperor Longwu), captured the first emperor (Emperor Shaowu), led his ministers to drive straight in, attacked along the line of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi, and occupied a large area in the southeast.
Especially in the Liangguang area, almost all of them were beaten down by Li Chengdong alone.
Li Chengdong worked hard for his master, and it stands to reason that the governor of Liangguang is none other than Li Chengdong, but the Manchu court was suspicious of Han Chen, and the policy of reusing the Liao people was very obvious, and appointed Tong Yangjia, a Liao man with mediocre military achievements, as the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong, while Li Chengdong was only appointed as the governor of Liangguang, not only did he have no right to intervene in political and local affairs, but also had to be controlled by Tong Yangjia militarily.
While the military was winning and the Manchu suspicion was growing, the general Li Chengdong's dissatisfaction with the Manchu court was gradually accumulating.
Sitting in Guangzhou, Li Chengdong felt more and more the fragility of the Manchu court, due to the difference in land, the climate of the north and the south is very different, if it is difficult for the Han people to go deep into the north of the desert to fight for a long time, then the Tatars can not stand the hot climate in the south, and it is difficult to fight in the south at all.
In the past two years of warfare, the main force of the Tartars was no more southerner than the line of Nanchang and Fuzhou, and it could cope with it in winter further south, but it could not cope at all in summer.
As he won successive battles, Li Chengdong became more and more contemptuous of the Manchu court, and the contradictions between the two sides gradually evolved, and in the end they were almost irreconcilable.
At the same time, the Ming Dynasty gentry did not forget to rebel against him, especially after the news of Jin Shenghuan came out anyway, the Ming Dynasty scholars He Wuyu and Yuan Pengnian and others did not forget to know that when they noticed that Li Chengdong and Tong Yangjia (actually with the Qing court) had a contradiction, they immediately seized the opportunity to secretly instigate Li Chengdong anyway.
Among them, the most surprising and regrettable thing is that Li Chengdong loves his concubine Zhao, and he actually staged the scene of the corpse alive.
When Li Chengdong's concubine Zhao arrived in Guangzhou, Li Chengdong was plotting against the Qing Dynasty and returning to the Ming Dynasty.
If that is the case, Li Chengdong can become a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, and after his death, he can also see his ancestors under Jiuquan.
Li Chengdong was afraid of leaking the news, and sharply reprimanded Zhao's nonsense.
Zhao then performed this tragic scene of the corpse, the so-called corpse admonition is to persuade the superior through suicide, which is the most heroic kind of Chinese exhortation to the superior.
It is common to induce advice according to the likes and dislikes of the superiors, just like Hai Rui's advice at the risk of death, and the most intense is the corpse advice, that is, leaving a corpse advice after committing suicide.
Ten days later, Li Chengdong specially asked He Wuyu to write a biography for the Zhao family, and ordered Kuang Lu, a disciple, to compose a song.
How insignificant the fate of a woman is in the torrent of history, but Zhao has left a heavy mark in a unique way.
Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, who was packing his bags and preparing to escape, heard that Li Chengdong led his troops to rebel, and he was quite unbelieving at first, probably no one would believe this kind of thing.
Hardcore traitor, the hardcore traitor Li Chengdong, who forced the two emperors to death, actually rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and rebelled against the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Guangdong to support himself.
But historical facts are historical facts, although the bureaucrats of the Yongli court did not believe it, but they still stopped to watch, after a few days of listening, especially the governor of Guangxi, Cao Ye, Gao Lei, who had already descended to the Qing Dynasty, and Hong Tiansheng, the governor of Gao Lei, came to the court in person.
Only then did the Yongli monarch and ministers relieve their doubts, and the entire small court was jubilant, and everyone immediately packed up their fleeing bags and prepared to reorganize the rivers and mountains.
At this time, news came that Yang Lin had led his troops to repel Duoduo and Wu Sangui to completely control Hanzhong, and had returned to Shisi (Sichuan), defeated Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai, Ma Yingjiao, Wang Xiang and others, and completely controlled Sichuan Province, and everyone was silent.
Yan Qiheng, a member of the cabinet, believed that Yang Lin acted arbitrarily and arbitrarily, and that he should send an envoy to reprimand him.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty had already fallen into party strife, and when some people put forward reprimands, some people represented by Wang Fuzhi recognized the reality and thought that they should be encircled.
Ma Jixiang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, believes that Yang Lin has become a big trend, and if the imperial court rewards him as he wishes, he may cause the other party to deviate from morality.
In addition, what is more important is today's troubled times, and the governance of troubled times should be re-enacted.
Zhang Xianzhong occupied four (Sichuan) for three years, coupled with the fierceness of the Tartar invasion, the people in Sichuan were three out of ten, and the people were humiliated.
When Lord Duxian led the people to fight a bloody battle with the Tartars, Li Zhanchun, Wang Xiang and others actually led their troops to attack the volunteers in Sichuan.
If it weren't for the support of the people in central Sichuan, if it weren't for the volunteers who could fight well, the 100,000 volunteers would have been wiped out under the attack of Tatars, Li Zhanchun and others.
After the defeat of the Tartars, Lord Duxian returned to Shisi (Sichuan), and in less than two or three months, Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai died and descended, which shows that Li Zhanchun and others did evil and poisoned the township
Yan Qiheng, a member of the cabinet, shook his head, thinking that Ma Jixiang had a point, Yang Lin was a powerful minister of the imperial court, and it was inevitable to kill one or two unruly generals.
What is really melancholy for the imperial court is that Yang Lin supports the army and respects himself, what is he going to do?
Now even the generals Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren have raised troops to fight against the Tartars, and even Li Chengdong has raised troops to fight against the Tartars.
Ma Jixiang argued with reason, although Yang Lin behaved domineeringly and changed the ancestral system of the imperial court, he is still a Ming minister now, and he has not violated the reason of the ministers.
If the imperial court is only suspicious and restricts everyone now, what is the difference between this and the eighteen gold medals recalling Yue Fei?
If the imperial court deliberately distances itself from them, it may backfire, deepen the estrangement between them, and finally the two sides part ways.
The two ends of the Yongli Emperor's snake and rat are inconsistent.
Yan Qiheng was a cabinet scholar, held the power of governance, and acted arbitrarily when Emperor Yongli's attitude was unclear, and ordered the imperial historian Li Yueru to punish Yang Lin in the name of the imperial court.
Yan Qiheng was full of confidence, believing that although Yang Lin was unruly, there were still Ming clans such as the prince of Fushun and the king of Deyang in Sichuan, Lu Daqi, the governor of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Huguang and Guangzhou, Fan Yixuan, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and many loyal ministers loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Receiving the secret order halfway through, and looking at Gong Wanjing, who was unaware, Li Yueru felt a burst of joy in her heart.
Yushi Li Yueru was full of confidence and sent an envoy to the mansion of King Deyang, hoping to achieve the goal of uniting everyone.
The envoy first arrived at the residence of the governor of the four provinces, Lu Daqi, and saw the people in the house from a distance, and many people wore linen and filial piety, and the messenger was shocked and hurriedly asked the reason, and the passers-by informed the governor of the four provinces, Lu Daqi, who had just died of illness in this month.
The envoy cried loudly: "Yang Lin is tyrannical and domineering, and now he actually killed the governor of the four provinces, Lu Daqi, which is very hateful. β
Passers-by were shocked, glared at the messenger and said: "Why do you, a foreigner, talk like this, Yongning Hou (resealed) is the stars in the sky and descended to earth, saving all the people from fire and water, and now everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, thanks to the work of the Hou Ye."
Now the local government is light and thin, each mu of paddy field is only 1 liter of rice (6 buckets of rice), and the dry land is only 6 buckets of wheat, such a good person, how can you insult Yongning Hou in public and tell him that he is not. β
The envoy was shocked, glared at the passers-by who were gathering more and more, and hugged his fists and said: "Although the Marquis of Yongning is good, but the governor of the four provinces, Lu Daqi, is a famous man in the world, and now he is sick and dead, can't it be said that the other party has no responsibility at all?" β
Everyone was furious, and everyone talked about it, and some said that although Lu Daqi's moral articles were famous all over the world, they didn't know how to change them.
Some people say that LΓΌ Daqi colluded with Li Zhanchun to conspire to kill the Marquis of Yongning and sabotage the Northern Expedition.
Some people say that the Marquis of Yongning is benevolent and righteous, and when Lu Daqi was seriously ill, he not only sent personnel to come to offer condolences and condolences.
Some people even say that when Lu Daqi died of illness, he left a will, hoping that his eldest son Lu Qian could return to Shuzhong to assist Yang Lin and achieve great achievements.
On his deathbed, he wrote a letter to Yang Lin, hoping that he would be righteous in the monarch and the minister, and that he would be able to treat the Ming clan well in the future.
β¦β¦
Seeing that the situation was not good, the messenger was about to escape, but everyone felt that the behavior of his foreign people was suspicious, and they asked him to show his identity credentials, but the messenger did not dare, and finally alarmed the township, was arrested by the township tolerance, and finally went out with the plate.
Compared to this one messenger, the other two messengers were much luckier.
Although the envoy saw Fan Yixuan, the other party had already gone to the field to live in the countryside at that time, and he was only serving with three or five tolerances around him, and there was no governor of Yungui at all.
The other party sighed and sighed, thinking that now that the master of the volunteer army has been completed, it is difficult to eliminate.
Hearing that Yan Qiheng was ready to ask in public, he continued to ask questions, thinking that Yan Qiheng was going to be Qin Hui, or what?
The two sides broke up unhappily, and the messenger was listless and ready to fight Li Yueru halfway.
On this day, he arrived at the front inn and met with the officials sent to the Deyang Wang's mansion, and the other party continued to scold, bluntly saying that the King of Deyang was timid and fearful, and was greedy, not to mention asking for money and food, but when it came to dealing with Yang Lin together, the whole person was submissive.
After receiving the report, Li Yueru was so angry that her beard stood up, and she scolded constantly, bluntly saying that the other party was simply a living Cao Cao, bullying and oppressing the minister.
The situation was like this, Li Yueru became more and more frustrated, and fell into a state of madness for several nights in a row, thinking about asking the other party speechless.
