Yang Lin was proud, not knowing that the situation outside had changed, and he didn't know that the imperial court had once again set off a wave of opposition to him.

Last year, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang fled to Wugang for refuge, where he was placed under house arrest by the local warlord Liu Tieba.

Since Liu Tieba took power, although Gong Wanjing, Zhang Lang and others verbally supported him, the other princes looked down on him at all, and one even bluntly said that Liu Tieba wanted to be Cao Cao's son of heaven to order the princes.

Cao Cao's strength is strong, and he has encountered a lot of opposition to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes, and Liu Tieba's strength is already very weak, and now he is even more eye-catching when he plays the old routine of coercing the Son of Heaven to make the princes.

First of all, Zhang Xianbi, the general of Hunan, saw Liu Tieba playing this hand, waved his troops to attack, and defeated Liu Tieba.

Liu Tieba had no choice but to move out the signboard of Emperor Yongli, claiming that if he attacked the city, he might hurt Emperor Yongli, and Zhang Xianbi had to retreat.

Hunan Governor He Tengjiao came to visit Emperor Yongli, Liu Chengyin saw his old boss coming, and after reprimanding himself, he forcibly asked for the seal of the Hunan Governor.

The two of them competed in front of Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang, Emperor Yongli had already practiced divine skills, no matter how noisy the two of you were, anyway, I sat on it and played with myself.

When He Tengjiao left, he sneered: "You can't even defeat Zhang Xianbi's department, which has the worst record in the Hunan army, how can you supervise other generals." ”

Liu Chengyin had no choice, so he sent someone to assassinate He Tengjiao when he left, but in the end failed.

The governor of Hunan blocked Yinxi and impeached Liu Chengyin, saying that he dared to murder He Tengjiao in his dictatorship.

Liu Tieba was afraid, so he asked Emperor Yongli to add Yinxi as the secretary of the military department, give Shang Fang the sword, and the governor of Jiangxi and Hunan military affairs.

After that, in June 1647, the Qing army captured Changde, and in August, Kong Youde captured Baoqing Mansion, and the troops came to Wugang City.

Liu Tiebang was very panicked and sent an envoy to meet Kong Youde, claiming that he could sacrifice Emperor Yongli.

Kong Youde didn't believe it, the generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty supported Emperor Yongli, and now Liu Tiebang actually wanted to sacrifice him, how could there be such a good thing in the world?

There is no way, Liu Tiebang sent guards to guard Zhu Youlang on the one hand, and came to Kong Youde's camp tent in person to discuss the matter of offering Zhu Youlang, Emperor Yongli.

Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang was indeed a genius for escaping, and when he saw the increase in sentry posts in his residence, he felt that the situation was not good, so he asked Liu Tiezhu's mother and younger brother to be invited, so that the soldiers who were in charge of him escaped from the city by car overnight.

Because of the rush to escape, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang even ignored his two-month-old child, his mother-in-law and his wife and sister, and fled all the way to the city of Guilin.

Not long after he fled back, he first heard that the 50,000 troops of the Fourth (Sichuan) Ming Army had defeated the Liukou, recovered the city of Kunming, Yunnan Prefecture, and forced the Liukou to Guangxi Mansion and other places, and Li Gande asked for the governor of Yunnan.

Yang Lin sent Zhang Hong to Guilin to meet Emperor Yongli, and the original Ming army captured Yunnan, claiming that now Yunnan Liukou is not enough to trouble, and he will also lead tens of thousands of volunteers to the north to attack Hanzhong, and hope that the emperor can appoint Yang Zhan as the governor of Yunnan.

This can cause controversy among the people, the cabinet university scholar Ma Jixiang last time because of the benefits of Zhang Hong's dedication, coupled with the fact that the achievements of the volunteers are really eye-catching, I hope that Emperor Yongli can follow Yang Lin's advice and appoint Yang Zhan as the governor of Yunnan.

But Yan Qiheng, another cabinet scholar who has just entered the cabinet, and Wu Zhenyu, the secretary of the household department, do not think so, although Yang Lin is the guest of honor of the Shu Palace, but he behaves perversely, and it is rumored in the society that he actually bribed Liu Tieba when he visited the emperor last time, and he is obviously a villain.

This time, Zhang Hong also brought dozens of treasures and gave them to the emperor and ministers, how can this be the demeanor of a loyal minister and a good general?

Yang Lin is the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, how can he meddle in the affairs of Yunnan?

Ma Jixiang defended one by one, now the emperor's ministers are adrift, ordinary people know the hardships of the emperor and ministers, and now all the ministers have not paid tribute to the imperial court, Yang Lin traveled thousands of miles to meet the emperor and brought some spoils of war, this is the performance of the loyal monarch, how can he become a traitor in some people?

Yang Lin's meddling in Yunnan affairs is really dictated by the situation, and most of the various armies of the Liukou are the departments of central Sichuan, Yang Lin explained in the song that he summoned the generals in Sichuan, and Yang Zhan was the leader of the army to attack the Liukou in three ways, and Yang Zhan and others took the lead, so as to recapture Kunming.

is so heavy, it is not considered to meddle in the affairs of the court.

Yan Qiheng and Wu Zhenyu refuted this statement by Fan Yixuan, Li Gande and others, and the two sides quarreled endlessly in the court, and there was no way, while Emperor Yongli was noncommittal.

I didn't expect to get Li Gande to play half a month later, claiming that Yang Zhan had rebelled and was arrested by himself.

Hearing this news, the courtiers were in an uproar, and some claimed that Li Gande killed Yang Zhan, fearing that it would cause chaos among the generals, and Yang Lin, who was fighting with the Tartars in Hanzhong, would definitely not give up, and would inevitably avenge Yang Zhan and return to attack Li Gande.

Hearing this, the courtiers were in an uproar, and some of them were even more anxious to recruit Zhang Hong, and the envoy reported: "After Senator Zhang heard the news that Li Gande killed Yang Zhan, he was worried that he would be harmed by the villain, and now he has led his troops to leave Guilin. ”

Everyone was shocked, and some even exclaimed how good it was.

But now that the Qing army is chasing all the way, everyone is not as good as he thinks, and everyone can only flee from Guilin to Nanning.

In March of the following year, I first saw that the pursuing Qing army stopped abruptly and stopped pursuing, and soon heard the news that Jin Shenghuan, the governor of Jiangxi in the barbarian Qing Dynasty, was leading his troops anyway.

It turned out that after Jin Shenghuan surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he led the army south, and occupied most of Jiangxi without spending a single soldier in Manchuria.

How did Jin Shenghuan know about the Manchurian Eight Banners system, since he wanted the Chinese people to feed the children of the Manchurian Eight Banners, the children of the Mongolian Eight Banners, and some Han children in captivity, so it was inevitable that there would be more monks and less porridge, how could it be possible to give Jin Shenghuan such a large piece of fat in Jiangxi?

The Manchu Qing Dynasty believed that Jin Shenghuan was Zuo Liangyu's general, and Wang Deren was Li Zicheng's subordinate Wang Tizhong's general.

After the occupation of Jiangxi, the Manchus still appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Jiangxi army, and his deputy general Wang Deren served as the deputy commander-in-chief.

In the third year of Shunzhi (1646), Jin Shenghuan asked the Manchus to issue another edict, granting him the power to "control civil and military affairs" and "act cheaply".

In May of that year, the result of the deliberation of the Qing court's military department was to reject Jin Shenghuan's request, and only changed his official rank from the chief military officer of Jiangxi and other places to the chief military officer of Jiangxi Province, and stipulated that "if the suppression of the opportunity is of great importance, the town should consult with the Fu and the government according to the same heart, and listen to the judgment of the inner court Hong Governor."

What he got turned out to be such a result, which couldn't help but make Jin Shenghuan disappointed, and complained in his heart that Manqing was mean and unkind.

The Manchu governor Zhang Yutian, the governor Dong Xuecheng, saw Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren enter Jiangxi and extort a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry by force, and they were very angry, and often said alarmist words to coerce them to give money.

Once, the governor Zhang Yutian invited everyone, and all the civil officials were invited to sit in the inner hall, and although Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were in high positions as the chief soldiers, they still sat outside the hall, (when I was a child, there was a brother in the author's hometown who was also like this, and when holding a banquet, the gift-giver sat in the hall and sat outside, which caused the anger of the villagers.) After that, the whole township almost broke with this brother).

This made both of them quite angry, but Governor Zhang Yutian didn't care, looked at Wang Deren, and said with a mocking smile on his face: "Mr. Wang, do you still want to rebel?" ”

In this way, the contradictions between the two sides accumulated day by day, and it led to a bloody case.

On January 27, the second year of Yongli, Dong Xuecheng recklessly asked Wang Deren for a courtesan, which is an insult to anyone.

But the other party was used to swaggering, so Wang Deren had to swallow his anger and did not agree immediately.

But in this way, Dong Xuecheng was furious, and scolded in public: "I can let your Wang Deren's wife sleep with me, let alone a courtesan? Why are you Wang Deren so spitting, you don't have the appearance of an official at all?"

How could a martial artist stand such words, and before Dong Xuecheng could finish speaking, Wang Deren pressed his sword and shouted: "My king has been a thief for 20 years, but I also know that men and women are great among others, how can I kneel in front of you and other rats like pigs and dogs, in order to survive?" ”

Wang Deren lifted the three-foot sword and chopped Dong Xuecheng into pieces, and then went to meet Jin Shenghuan and forced Jin Shenghuan to have a showdown.

Seeing his henchmen kill the Manchu patrol, Jin Shenghuan was forced to take preemptive measures on the 27th day of the first month of 1648 (the fifth year of Shunzhi and the second year of Yongli) to capture and kill officials who were unwilling to follow the anti-Qing Dynasty and announce the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

It is ridiculous that when King Deren of Jin Shenghuan got up, he did not know the news of Emperor Yongli's accession to the throne, so he signed Longwu for four years on the issued notice of Anmin.

Soon, Jiang Riguang, a scholar at the Ming Dynasty University in Jiangxi, knew that Emperor Longwu had been killed, and Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui, had been proclaimed emperor, so the document was resigned in the second year of Yongli.

Hearing the news of Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren and others anyway, Emperor Yongli was overjoyed and named Jin Shenghuan as the Duke of Changguo and Wang Deren as the new Marquis.

Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, with the assistance of Jiang Riguang, collected everyone on the one hand, and ordered Wang Deren to lead his troops to the north to occupy strategic places such as Jiujiang.

Not half a month later, in late February, Gong Wanjing rushed to Guilin, and on behalf of Yang Lin, the Volunteer Army defeated the 100,000 troops of Duoduo, Wu Sangui, and Nikan, and killed the barbarian Qing Beizi Nikan and others.

Originally, he was preparing for the Northern Expedition to recover his homeland.

But that Zhu Rongfan served as the supervisor of the country in Kuidong, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and when he was fighting with the Tartars, he sent the general Li Zhanchun to attack his own back.

Li Gande, Yuan Tao, Wu Dading and others conspired to kill Yang Zhan and led their troops to attack Jiading Mansion.

Zhu Rongfan, Li Gande, and Li Zhanchun were unforgivable, and they had no choice but to return to Shichuanzhong to recruit the rebel generals.

Hearing this news, everyone was in an uproar, especially Ma Jixiang straightened up and said: "Look, this Yang Lin, this volunteer army has defeated the Tartars many times in a row, and he is really a loyal and brave dead soldier.

Zhu Rongfan, Li Gande, Li Zhanchun and others are unforgivable, and in this case, the emperor should not chill the hearts of loyal people.

Yan Qiheng shook his head again and again and said: "This Yang Lin is obviously a rebellious maniac, where is a loyal person."

Look at what he did, change my Ming ancestral system. The area under its jurisdiction levied merchant taxes on merchants and income tax on the wealthy, which obviously poisoned the squires.

Emperor, ministers, the squire is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, and Yang Lin's behavior is shaking the foundation of my Ming Dynasty.

Yang Lin won the hearts of the people and created a parliamentary system, in which each township elected a representative to form a county council, saying that he should supervise the county. Each prefecture elects two deputies to form a prefectural assembly, which supervises the prefect.

What kind of sharing system did Yang Lin make in the local area, the taxes collected were kept in the county as 2 percent, the government as 2 percent, and he himself intercepted 7 percent, which clearly changed the ancestral system.

In addition, Yang Lin changed the jurisdiction of various prefectures and counties without authorization, and established Guangyuan Mansion, Tongchuan Mansion, and Long'an Mansion.

He set up a newspaper, pinpointed the evils of the times, and sometimes even the emperor dared to publicly ridicule it.

……………..

Emperor, this Yang Lin is extremely loyal on the surface, but he is actually a big traitor. ”

Hearing this, everyone sighed, and Ma Jixiang smiled: "Emperor, the troubled times use heavy classics, a famous saying since ancient times.

For example, today the 10 Tartars have already occupied eight points, as long as they can guarantee victory, it is not impossible.

Emperor, there are countless ministers around you who have been crowned dukes, even Jin Shenghuan can be crowned dukes for battlefield uprisings, Wang Deren and Wang Guangxing can be crowned marquises, Yang Lin has made outstanding achievements, and the emperor can't say nothing. ”

Yushi Li Yueru shook his head and said: "Ma Jixiang, you traitorous minister, how do you want the emperor to express it?" Did he encourage Yang Lin to openly lead his troops to attack Li Zhanchun, Wang Xiang, and Li Gande, or what?

If Yang Lin is encouraged to do this, it will definitely make Yang Lin fearless. ”

Gong Wanjing was disappointed to see that the court was inconclusive, and prepared to leave after offering treasures worth a thousand taels of silver.

Gong Wanjing was about to go back, and Emperor Yongli laughed and said: "I already know that Governor Yang and Li Gande have a dispute, and in order to be impartial, I have decided to send Li Yueru, the imperial historian, into Sichuan with Aiqing to mediate the dispute between the two sides. ”

Gong Wanjing shook his head and said: "Emperor, Penghou was born in a person, and he is a guest of honor in the Shu Palace, and he is also a relative of the emperor."

Penghou and Tatar fought fiercely in Hanzhong, six battles and six victories, and the entire situation in the northwest was reversed, but because of the rebellion of Li Gande, Li Zhanchun and others, they had to return to Shichuanzhong, so the previous achievements were wasted.

Penghou has contributed to the country to His Majesty, and the emperor of the imperial court did not support it twice in a row, the emperor can get close to the villain, and the general is the big seal anyway, but doesn't the emperor's behavior make the world's people of insight chill? ”

Yan Qiheng defended: "No one denies that Yang Lin has made great contributions, but Yang Lin's perverse behavior is also well known."

Senator Zhang, Yang Lin is still like this in Sichuan, if he leads heavy troops outside in the future, it may not be a blessing for the imperial court.

I am not waiting for the impeachment of Hou Ye to be selfish, I am really worried that Hou Ye will do something rebellious in the future. ”

Gong Wanjing had no choice but to return to Sichuan with Yushi Li Yueru to learn the truth.
