“…… Yingzhou was broken, and the gentry in the city were all strong men who fought back...... The thief suffered a huge loss, and the thief sweeper ordered the slaughter of the city......"

"Ah, slaughter the city!" All the scholars exclaimed.

“…… After the destruction of the city, as many as 150 officials and gentlemen were killed, 27 women were martyred, 8 martyrs, and thousands of people were slaughtered...... The living are entrapped in the army of thieves......"

This bloody number pressed on everyone's hearts like Mount Tai, and for a while, the air in the tea house seemed to freeze.

"Thief, thief, what's wrong with my Ming Dynasty?"

"What the hell is going on?" Suddenly, the cries rang out one after another, and in an instant, the scholars in the audience cried together.

In fact, as a traverser, for this world, Sun Yuan sometimes has the mentality of a sightseer, although he also knows that the country is about to break, at most nine years, the Ming Dynasty will be completely destroyed. But for this Ming Dynasty, he has no feelings as a modern person, and the tragic situation and dead and injured soldiers in Yingzhou are just a number for him.

But seeing that everyone was crying, he sat leisurely and drank tea, but he was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly turned his head to the side, so as not to embarrass others to see it.

At this time, that Li Xiucai suddenly laughed: "What are you crying about, in fact, this urgent report is not full of bad news. ”

"What's the good news, but my Ming official army repelled the thieves?"

"No, no, my imperial army is still in Henan now, and I can't keep up for a while." Li Xiucai wiped the tears on his face and said with a smile: "So that you can know that Zhang Yuanping, the remnant of the eunuch party, died in the war this time." ”

"Ah, Thief Zhang is dead, this is really good news!" Everyone roared again: "Brother Li, speak quickly." ”

Sun Yuan turned his head and wondered in his heart: Who is Zhang Yuanping, the remnants of the eunuch party, is it possible that he was still a eunuch before? There doesn't seem to be a big eunuch named Zhang Yuanping in history!

Li Xiucai: "After the pseudo-sweeper captured Yingzhou this time, Zhang Thief saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly took his family to escape. It's a pity that the thieves come and go like the wind, and they have blocked the four gates. In this way, Zhang Thief sighed helplessly, so he had to bring weapons and go to the city with his family to defend the city. is also God's eyes, if he dies on the battlefield, he can fight for a martyr's reputation. But it's a pity that he is too old, and after his strength is exhausted, he falls into the hands of thieves. ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and said that if the thief Zhang died, the court would inevitably have to commend him and show a thief, wouldn't this smear the faces of our Fengyang people?

Seeing the expressions of the scholars, Sun Yuan's heart suddenly became disgusted: even if this eunuch Zhang had done evil things before, but the enemy was now, he also knew that he would go into battle to kill the enemy, and this courage alone was worthy of respect. That's right, Shilin regards eunuchs as natural enemies, but he can't gloat so much!

Someone said in a loud voice: "Say it quickly, say it quickly, what is the situation of that old thief Zhang Yuanping falling into the hands of the thief, is it groveling and begging?" ”

"How is that possible?" Li Sheng said with a smile: "Although Zhang Thief has a poor character, he is also a person who is a secretary of the military department, can he be shameless?" It is said that Zhang Heming's family all died on the city wall, and he, his younger brother Zhang Heteng, and son Zhang Datong were seriously injured and fell into the hands of thieves because of their exhaustion. ”

"It turns out that Zhang Yuanping is Zhang Heming, he is dead?" Sun Yuan remembered such a character at this time, and couldn't help but pat his thigh.

A scholar answered: "It's this old thief!" ”

Li Xiucai continued: "After the thief fell into the hands of the thief, he was hung upside down on a tree and died of humiliation along with his brother and son. The old thief was stubborn, and he scolded endlessly from beginning to end. It is said that because he hung for a whole day, Zhang Thief suffered many more punishments and was beaten to the point of incontinence. After he died, he was put down from the tree, and his body was already smelly. Haha, this is the real stench for 10,000 years! ”

"Death is innocent, happy, happy!" The scholars clapped their hands again and again.

Seeing sentient beings insulting a deceased person like this, and this deceased was still a martyr who died heroically, Sun Yuan's heart suddenly rose with anger.

Suddenly, he remembered who this Zhang Heming was.

Zhang Heming, the character Yuanping, the number Fenggao, Yingzhou people. During the 10,000 years of Mingshenzong, Bingshu Kejinshi, awarded the magistrate of Licheng County, Shandong Province, promoted to the governor of Guizhou, and the right attendant of the military department. He successively served as the secretary of the headquarters, and was crowned the prince Taibo, and the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry. After Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, Zhang Heming was promoted to the secretary of the military department in the first year of the Apocalypse and supervised Liaodong.

At this time, the power of Liaodong Jiannu had grown, and the Ming Dynasty was in a state of anxiety every year. The use of troops against Liaodong has been the first major matter of the imperial court. However, this matter was at odds with Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, which led to a great deal of disharmony in Liaodong.

Emperor Tianqi had no choice, so he had to send Zhang Shangshu to supervise Liaodong and mediate Xiong and Wang.

Although Xiong and Wang are both civil officials, and they are both from the two lists, they belong to different political camps. Xiong Tingbi is a cadre of the Chu Party, while Wang Huazhen is a disciple of Ye Xianggao, the grandmother of Donglin.

The power of the Chu Party is in Jiangxi and Huguang, and strictly speaking, the scholars in Fengyang Yingzhou also belong to the Chu Party. But this Zhang Shangshu is very close to Donglin, and he is a two-faced character.

The reason why the Emperor of the Apocalypse sent him to mediate the conflict between the two was probably because of this.

It's a pity that after Zhang Shangshu arrived in Liaodong, he saw that Donglin was powerful, so he should immediately change the court and favor Wang Huazhen exclusively.

When the imperial court was discussing who would go and who would stay, Zhang Shangshu advocated removing Xiong and appointing Wang Huazhen as a full-time governor. Zhang Heming's opinion, Emperor Tianqi agreed.

As soon as this proposal came out, the court was in an uproar, and Lao Zhang came to such a hand, which can be regarded as a complete betrayal of the Chu Party.

But just when Wang Huazhen monopolized the military and political power of Liaodong, the Later Jin army attacked south. This Governor Wang was also simply, without firing a single shot, he took his subordinates to abandon Guangning, fled all the way south, and gave the area north of Shanhaiguan to Jiannu, which greatly gave Zhang Shangshu and Donglin Party Chief's face.

Afterwards, Wang Huazhen was a capital crime. But he was a protégé of the leader of the Donglin Ye Party, and under the planning of his colleagues, he was only in prison for a few years.

The party is the best means of Donglin, but poor Xiong Tingbi was pushed out by Donglin and carried the black cauldron, not to mention the beheading, and the head was also circulated to the nine sides.

Zhang Shangshu naturally wanted to be impeached by the Chu Party. The old gentleman also knew that his crime was too serious, so he resigned and went home to retire.

If that's it, Zhang Shangshu won't be as infamous as he is now.

But Zhang Shangshu is a person who is unwilling to be lonely, he poked out such a basket, so that Xiong Jing lost his head, the Chu Party hated him to the bone, and Donglin's strength and resources were used to protect Wang Huazhen, and he ignored Zhang Shangshu.

Zhang Heming saw that the road of Donglin would not work, so he simply threw himself into Wei Zhongxian's disciples, and was reinstated as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department and the governor of Guizhou.

Zhang Heming's defection to Donglin has been despised by the world, and now he has become a eunuch, isn't this a slave with three surnames?

Most of the scholars in Yingzhou are protégés of the Chu Party, and when Zhang Shangshu is mentioned, they all grit their teeth and hate it, and they are deeply ashamed.

Later, the nine thousand years old was killed, Zhang Shangshu was also implicated and dismissed from his official position, and returned to his hometown in Yingzhou again to retire. Hearing the news, everyone in Fengyang Mansion applauded, and even some scholars set off firecrackers.

This time, I heard Li Xiucai say that Zhang Heming's entire family died at the hands of the peasant army, and the death was extremely miserable, and everyone cheered.

Someone clapped his hands and laughed: "This matter is very happy, it can be seen that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself." This thief died, and my Fengyang morale was invigorated, and he should be a big white. ”

"Yes, yes, wait for the younger brother to be the east, everyone will eat a wine, and then each will write a poem according to this matter. We can't go to Gu Hengbo and Shaoyu's Yaji, so we can do it ourselves. ”

"Okay, Brother Huang is bold, but the younger brother also has to help a little." And they took out a minot, and threw it on the table.

Everyone cheered again, and people kept shouting: "I also have some part." ”

"Haha, haha!"

The atmosphere of compassion just now was gone, but it was peaceful, as if the blood of Yingzhou did not exist.

There were even people who shouted, "Good, good death." According to me, although it is a great tragedy for the thief army to enter Yingzhou and slaughter my gentry, it is not useless. ”

"Yes, yes, that's right!"

The crowd burst into laughter again.

At this time, suddenly, someone slammed the table and laughed: "Scum, a group of scum, thieves slaughtered the city, how many people died under the knife, and it became a good thing in your mouth?" Is it because they killed Zhang Shangshu? ”

It turned out that it was Sun Yuan's unbearable shooting.

Supposedly, he didn't want to ask about such a compulsion. Since he crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, he has been frightened step by step, what happened to the end of this trip, whether he is dead or alive is still unknown, and the life and death of Fengyang people have nothing to do with him.

However, even if Zhang Heming was unbearable before, he was able to hold on to the festival, and this alone is worthy of respect

But this group of scholars, because Zhang Heming defected from the Chu Party, and later threw himself under the eunuch party, actually applauded the massacre of the peasant army.

There is no distinction between right and wrong, black and white are not clear to this point, is this still a human?

The death of the Ming Dynasty, some people say that it was due to financial collapse, and some people say that it was due to Li Chuang, but seeing this group of scholars, Sun Yuan suddenly had an idea: Maybe the king of the Ming Dynasty died in the hands of this group of literati who disregarded the overall situation for the benefit of the small collective, except for the same party and the same party?

Scholars, intellectuals, civil officials, as the basis of the rule of the Ming Dynasty, have completely rotted.

Seeing Sun Yuan shooting the case, someone shouted: "Who are you, what kind of scenery did you come over, shouldn't that old thief Zhang Yuanping die?" ”

Sun Yuan roared angrily: "Zhang Yuanping also personally risked the arrow stone to kill the enemy, no matter what wrong things he did in the past, this death has washed away all the stains on his body." What kind of gentleman is you talking so cheaply? ”

He sneered: "Before, you cried bitterly for the destruction of Yingzhou City, and Xiaosheng Jing'er and others are people with wind and bones, and they have righteous hearts. But then you are gloating over the death of Zhang Shangshu, maybe tomorrow the thief will be killed in Fengyang, and when the time comes, who among the monarchs can go into battle to kill the thief like Zhang Yuanping, and serve the country with a death, who can, who can? ”
