Chapter 621: Eunuchs and Civil Officials
As soon as Liu Tichun's voice fell, a master shouted: "The Duke of Anhui has spoken, everyone will be quiet!" ”
"Others don't give face, Liu Erhu's face can't be given, it's all given to Lao Tzu! Who dares to shout again, Lao Tzu tears his mouth! ”
Wu Dading, the leader of the Thirteen Shaking Yellow Families, also drank, he was the Ming Dynasty warrior He Renlong's subordinates, and he followed He Renlong to do a lot of angry things, although he was old, but he was still a hot man, and after drinking, he glared angrily at the leaders who had not calmed down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The leaders of the gang were glared at by him like this, and they had to give face if they didn't give face, so they hurriedly took their words and sat up.
When Yuan Zongdi saw it, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, speaking of which, the remnants of the Dashun Army and Wu Dading had a mortal enemy, and He Renlong killed many peasant army brothers back then. But at this time and that time, who would have thought that these rogues who made Chongzhen Ye would become the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the future, so it is not strange to sit with the former enemies to discuss matters, and they have long been adapted. Thinking of the brothers who had died in battle in the past 20 years, Yuan Zongdi was a little heroic and short of breath for no reason, and he secretly sighed in his heart.
Wan Guogong and Liu Erhu are both talking about Liu Tichun, his real name is Liu Tiren, his name is Feihu, because he is the second, so outsiders call him Liu Erhu. The Duke of Anhui was the title given to Liu Tichun by Emperor Longwu of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Tichun shook his head with a smile, and raised his voice: "You can just call the second tiger for face, then the Duke of Anhui doesn't need to be called, they are all their own brothers, what are you doing with such a life?" Besides, which of the people present is not the prince of the country, this is really an official title, and everyone may not be able to tell who is who, don't discuss it, everyone patronizes and recognizes people, then this will be opened until the end of the day. ”
These words caused all the leaders in the hall to laugh, and Li Laiheng couldn't help laughing. Most of the leaders present here were knighted by the Ming Dynasty, such as Li Laiheng was the Duke of Linguo of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Zongdi was the Duke of Jingguo, He Zhen was the Marquis of Qi, Wang Xing was the Duke of Jingguo, Hao Shaoqi was the Marquis of Nan'an, and Feng Qifeng was the Bo of Xinhua..... There are a lot of princes and uncles, but whoever you want to remember these titles can't be one. Moreover, whether it is the remnants of the Dashun army in the loyal battalion, or the bandits of the Thirteen Families of the Yellow Dynasty, not many of them really take the title of the Ming Dynasty seriously.
After everyone laughed, Liu Tichun continued: "The news that the Son of Heaven abandoned the country and fled to Myanmar is already known to everyone, and I won't say much about this, what I want to talk about next is the matter of the Tang Dynasty's prison country, this matter has a lot to do with me, I and Little Tiger, Yuan Zongdi, and Hao Shaoqi can't be the master, so I will summon everyone together, and everyone will think together to see if we respond to this Tang Wang's prison or continue to serve Emperor Yongli as Zhengshuo." ”
After speaking, Yuan Zongdi got up and said to everyone: "Summoning everyone to Yingcheng is actually not the meaning of me and Little Tiger, but the meaning of the prison army Pan Gonggong and the Hong Ministry of Finance. Now that the Son of Heaven has abandoned the country, the whereabouts of the imperial court are unknown, and the Taiping Army has proposed such a major event as the Tang Dynasty supervising the country, we are all rough people, and we don't know how powerful it is, so Xiaohu and I want to ask Pan Gonggong and Hong to preside over this conference for us, what do you think? ”
"As it should be!"
Yuan Zongdi intended to let the eunuch Pan Gonggong and the Hong Ministry to preside over the meeting, according to reason, the hall is full of big and coarse people, and the most disdainful are the eunuchs and civil officials, but Yuan Zongdi said the meaning, and everyone did not oppose it, but applauded in unison. The reason why this is the case is that the father-in-law of Napan and the Ministry of Hong are not ordinary eunuchs and civil officials, but two real heroes.
Pan Yinglong was originally the eunuch of the Yongli Inner Court, last year the Qing army entered the southwest in a big way, and the King of Jin intended to send someone to contact the thirteen families in Sichuan, so as to contain the Qing army from behind. Yongli was overjoyed and ordered Pan Yinglong to be the eunuch of the loyal battalion and let him go to Sichuanzhong secretly.
When Pan Yinglong arrived in Sichuan, it was when the first attack on Chongqing organized by the university scholar Wen'an failed, and when Wen'an was discouraged, Pan Yinglong was upbeat and went to various families to contact, and suffered a lot on the way, and finally moved the thirteen families to organize troops and horses to attack Chongqing again with a loyal heart. Although the second attack on Chongqing was lost because of the Ertan rebellion, the leaders of all the families saw Pan Yinglong's performance in the process during this process, and they all admired it, and said to this beardless father-in-law Pan.
That Hong Ministry is talking about the Minister of the Ministry of War, who is the head of the Governor of Sichuan and Chu, and the Minister of the Ministry of Hong Yuao. In that year, Hao Shaoqi entered from Daozhou after being appeased by the Longwu Imperial Court, but as a result, he did not change his habits all the way and plundered the place. Hong Yuaoqi, who was the governor of the prefecture at the time, came to his army with a single horse and said to him: "The difference between soldiers and thieves is that they are afraid of the laws of the imperial court, are controlled by the county, and do not offend the people; If Nan Anhou wants to plunder as before, he is still like a thief, why should he be appeased by my court, wouldn't it be better to be your thief! ”
At that time, Hao Shaoqi's group of officers were furious, and everyone looked at Hong Yuao angrily. Hao Shaoqi was deeply moved by Hong Yuao's words, and immediately issued a military order strictly prohibiting plunder, and then personally sent Hong Yuao out of the camp for ten miles. After the rest of the Shun army was reorganized into the loyal battalion, Emperor Longwu ordered the court to discuss the candidates for the supervising army, but the results were wrestling with all parties, and it was difficult to choose for a while. Emperor Longwu was the emperor of the emperor's heart, and he promoted the imperial history of the right of the capital of Hongyu Ao, and ordered the towns to be stationed in Hunan. Later, He Tengjiao's army was defeated, Yunnan and Guizhou were also broken by Sun Kewang's Western Army, and the loyal battalion had nowhere to stay, so Hong Yuao led them to retreat into the West Mountain, and defended himself in Tuntian in the area of Kuidong, which was ten years.
After Emperor Yongli was received by Sun Kewang to Anlong, Guizhou, Hong Yuao said that the thirteen families were very loyal and had no two hearts. If there is a levy in the imperial court, it can respond to the army. Yongli saw this song and added Hong Yuao as the right attendant of the governor's military department, and ordered him to pacify Chudi, and then was controlled by Wen'an of the governor's cabinet department.
It can be said that since the day the Loyalty Battalion was established, Hong Yuao has formed a deep bond with the leaders of all the families present, no matter how difficult the situation is, Hong Yuao has never thought of abandoning the official and fleeing or surrendering it, but has always insisted on it. When Kuidong was in the most difficult time, Hong Yuao went to the fields as a minister of the ministry and ploughed like an old farmer, in order to be able to grow some food by himself, so that he could save his share of food to the soldiers. Such a civil official who cares about the world, the people, and the ordinary soldiers, who among the leaders in the hall dares not to admire or respect him. Therefore, Yuan Zongyi said that he would invite Gonggong Pan and the Hong Ministry to preside over the brothers, and all the leaders said yes.
Pan Yinglong and Hong Yuao were in the back office, they did not take the initiative to preside over the conference, because they were worried that now the Yongli Emperor abandoned the country and fled, and the leaders who came to the meeting must have lost confidence in the Ming Dynasty, plus most of them were thieves and bandits in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty.
Yuan Zongdi and Li Laiheng came to invite on behalf of the leaders of the families, Pan Yinglong and Hong Yuao were stunned, glanced at each other for a moment, and did not be polite, and walked to the front office one after the other. When they came to the hall and saw the leaders of the hall, the two of them were very emotional, but they were a little confused in their hearts, the Ming Emperor abandoned the country and fled, and the soldiers and civilians of the world had no backbone.
As people in the court and the court of Yongli, Pan Yinglong and Hong Yuao naturally felt sad and desperate for Emperor Yongli's abandonment of the country, but the more than 100 leaders in the hall were all rebels, and they did not have much respect for the Ming Dynasty at all. Even Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi did not have much respect for the Yongli Imperial Court, and the reason why they accepted the Ming Dynasty's appeasement was only to fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was the same nature as Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo's choice to join the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty. If they really want to make them have any loyalty to the Yongli Emperor, it is also difficult for the strongman.
In the past, they were trapped by the Qing army in Sichuan and Hubei in the small place of Kuidong and the Three Gorges to fend for themselves, but now with the help of the Taiping army, they turned Huguang upside down like a shallow dragon entering the sea, and both strength and influence were much stronger than before. Therefore, where do the leaders who have expanded their territory and strength feel that this day is going to fall, they think that this day looks very good.
......
The characters are complex, and the plot needs to have to let these heroes who are already in the official history come forward, but if you don't introduce the origin, most of the readers don't know who they are, it's really difficult to write. If you write too much, you are afraid of being scolded for making up the numbers, and if you don't write, you will be confused and difficult.
In addition, when writing this chapter, the bones sighed that at the end of the Southern Ming Dynasty, how many Han heroes were at the end of their rope and staged a tragic song for the Ming Dynasty. The eunuch Pan Yinglong did not retreat in battle, and Hong Yuao of the ministry was captured and unyielding, and was killed and thrown into the gorge. The Qing army captured Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi and killed him, and Li Laiheng, Liu Tiren and other families set fire to the country.... (To be continued.) )
