Just when the Zhu family's army was invincible on the prairie, it was not so smooth on the Ming side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Late at night on the first day of the first lunar month, inside the city gate of Fuzhou, countless people ran between the streets and alleys, shouting everywhere: "Pirates are in chaos!" Enter the city! ”

The city of Fuzhou was shocked, and the people fled outside the city in the starry night, trampling on each other and killing countless people. The local scoundrels took advantage of the chaos to rob and set fire to the city, and the chaos in the city became more and more prosperous.

Governor Yamen, Governor Zou was martyred with his family.

The prefect and the officials of the Church abandoned their posts one after another, and after everyone had taken a breath, they reported that "pirates broke the city", and countless urgent documents flew into the north and south of Beijing like snowflakes.

There is a Houjin army besieging the Ming army at the border pass, but the south coast of the Ming River is also full of pirates.

Coupled with the rampant and domineering of various natural disasters, it is true, adding a bit of apocalyptic atmosphere to the Ming Empire, which has already been on fire everywhere......

At this moment, here at Daming Mountain Customs.

Later Jin became the emperor Taiji, and he very cleverly adopted the strategy of besieging the city to help, using Dalinghe City and Zu Dashou in the city and other elites of the Guanning army as bait, and repeatedly defeated the Ming army from Jinzhou to help.

The Ming Dynasty reinforcements that were defeated and annihilated totaled tens of thousands. (Of course, there are more runs, and fewer deaths.) ）

The Ming Dynasty's Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was heavily raised, lost more than one-third of its horses. (In terms of their combat effectiveness, it can be regarded as a contribution.) ）

Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, Zhang Chun, the commander of Yongping, and Yang Yufan, the deputy commander-in-chief of Tongzhou, were captured.

Wu Xiang (Liaodong General Soldier of the Ming Dynasty), ancestral home of Gaoyou, Jiangnan (now Gaoyou, Jiangsu). At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was the general soldier of Liaodong and the father of Wu Sangui. That's right, he is Wu Sangui's father!

So, Wu Sangui, who was just eighteen years old, was temporarily ordered to take over his father's position.

Since then, the officials of the Ming Dynasty have to sit back and watch Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou and others fend for themselves in Dalinghe City, and the situation is simply unbearable.

History is so strikingly similar!

In the original unchanged history, in 1631 (the fourth year of Chongzhen), in the battle of the Daling River, Zu Dashou ran out of food, so he surrendered and fled to Jinzhou City to fight against the Qing army. The Qing court repeatedly refused to surrender.

In 1641 (the fourteenth year of Chongzhen), in the Songjin War that began in the third month of the lunar calendar, due to the defeat of the reinforcement Hong Chengchou, Jinzhou was completely hopeless, so Zu Dashou led his troops to surrender. Later, he entered the customs with the Qing army, and died of illness in Beijing in 1656 (the thirteenth year of Shunzhi).

Unexpectedly, with Zhu Zilong's Ming Dynasty, the ancestral brothers were surrounded again, and they were about to surrender.

Even, this time, Lao Hong, including Lao Hong, complained bitterly.

At this time, Zu Dashou and others, who were trapped in Dalinghe City, ran out of ammunition and food after defending the city for more than half a year, and even used human flesh as food. Soon it was no longer possible to hold on, and it was impossible to break through.

If there is no support, I am afraid that we will have to surrender more than ten years in advance.

That's not all, Huang Taiji also sent a number of Eight Banners and Mongolian soldiers and horses, as well as a variegated Han army. A total of more than 20,000 people, transferred to the prefectures and counties of Beizhili, and broke the official army of the imperial court from all walks of life, and the civil and military forces of the Ming State and Manchu Dynasty were helpless. (It's no fun to count on the Donglin Party and civil officials)!

All the elite troops of Liaozhen and Beizhili have been wiped out, the front-line troops are extremely empty, and the only one who can fight is the border army at Shanhaiguan.

And above the court, the crowd is even more turbulent, and at this time, there is still a party struggle among hundreds of officials.

However, because most of the people in charge of the government were Donglin Party members, when the emperor was not awake, he managed the national politics so miserably. Immediately, it became the object of Qianfu's referent.

Officials from other parties attacked him en masse. The courtiers took the opportunity to launch a campaign to overthrow the cabinet!

For a time, the impeachment of Sun Chengzong's incompetence, Zhou Yanru and other Donglin ministers who were even more incompetent were piled up in front of the queen and the crown prince, and they were taller than a dozen people......

In the past few years, even if there is Zhu Zilong's emperor clone, he has suppressed the Donglin party.

However, the previous conviction is in. Therefore, the Donglin Party has always been at the level of big brother in the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty.

If the scholars do not join this illegal organization (the Donglin Party has never been legally recognized), it is almost impossible to get ahead. Therefore, the other official factions have long hated them to death.

so resentful of the world, so calamitous to the country and the people, and then commanded the army to return to defeat...... If such a cabinet can be as stable as Mount Tai, it will be a hell of a sight!

So, not long after.

Under the anger of the public, coupled with the queen's secret support, plus the possibility of worrying that the capital division is not safe. Shoufu Zhou Yanru took the initiative to resign and return to his hometown, and the official positions of the rest of the Donglin dignitaries seemed to be precarious on the surface.

It's just that although such a fate is obviously self-inflicted, the Donglin Party people. It's like the other people below, but they don't think so, but they are very aggrieved that the current DPRK and China are "evil and evil"!

It is really unbearable to dare to drive these upright and gentlemanly Donglin party members and officials to the stage......

So, it didn't take long.

The remaining Donglin Party officials began to change the subject, and once again went to the DPRK to quarrel.

However, what these optimistic and lawless Donglin Party members do not know is that the problem at this time is obviously not something that can be liberated by party strife and changing the topic. Moreover, there is a new trouble!

First of all, the bad news is.

The border armies of Datong and Xuanfu fought for the silver mine that was suddenly discovered, and fierce infighting broke out, with countless casualties, and now they are still accusing each other of being rebels. For the time being, it is impossible to obey the dispatch of the court!

Many gangsters in northern Shaanxi elected Gao Yingxiang as their leader, formed an alliance to cross the river into Shanxi, took the provincial capital Taiyuan, and killed the king of Jin!

This is the first case of the Ming Dynasty killing the thieves since the fall of the Central Capital. For a time, it shocked the world!

Not only that, but the Smelling Fragrance Sect has once again made trouble, and has now gathered hundreds of thousands of people to cut off a canal lifeline. Making it impossible for grain and grass from all over the world to be quickly transported into the capital is simply making the border and the capital worse!

(Wenxiangjiao was one of the folk religions of the Ming Dynasty.) It is also known as the Eastern Mahayana religion. During the Wanli (1573~1619) period, it was founded by Wang Sen, Shifokou, Luanzhou, Hebei. claimed to have saved a fox, and the fox cut off its tail and gave it away, with a strange fragrance; In order to call on the disciples, many people are attached, so it is called the Wenxiang Sect, and the self-proclaimed Wenxiang Sect Master. ）

The followers spread throughout Hebei, Shandong, Jiangxi, Jin, Henan, Qin, Sichuan and other places. In a long time, it can reach millions of people, no less than Li Zicheng's threat!

Actually, strictly speaking.

Wenxiang Sect is a family religion, which has been passed down from generation to generation by the Wang clan for more than 200 years. Even in the 21st century, it developed to Fujian, Guangdong, and Taiwan, and a branch called "Jinzhujiao" in Taiwan is still very active today.

Therefore, compared with Li Zicheng, they are still on a higher level.

This is almost a great sect on par with the legendary White Lotus Sect.

Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang won the world and established the Ming Dynasty, and he also received the help of various sects, so he should not be underestimated.

Even, once in the early Yuan and Ming dynasties, these sects were recognized by their legal status.

For example, after Renzong's accession to the throne (1311), he was restored to legal status. Ten years later, however, Yingzong ascended the throne and his activities were restricted.
