The current Ming Dynasty has just undergone a strong political earthquake, and the former middle-level palace scholar and cabinet chief assistant Cheng Jiming was impeached by the Yanguan Yushi and deposed by Emperor Chongzhen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first assistant of the cabinet naturally has another famous person to succeed him, and as for the successor candidate, there were originally two candidates valued by Emperor Chongzhen.
One is Wen Tiren, the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is Zhou Yanru, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but both of them were rejected by the ministers on the grounds of their lack of qualifications.
In desperation, Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to issue an edict and order the ministers to jointly nominate the successor.
Of course, Wen Tiren knew that he would not be recognized by the ministers of the old faction, but he had a holiday with Qian Qianyi, and Qian Qianyi's entry into the cabinet would be unfavorable to him.
So Wen Tiren went to the court to impeach him for taking bribes and forming a party.
But this is not a bargaining chip to bring down Qian Qianyi, which cannot make Emperor Chongzhen make up his mind to get rid of Qian Qianyi.
So Wen Tiren went up again and brought up the matter of Qian Qianyi's favoritism when he presided over the Zhejiang examination, which had been set for a long time.
But Wen Tiren lost no time in bringing up the old things at this moment, although Emperor Chongzhen did not show anything on his face, but he actually had a dislike for Qian Qianyi in his heart.
Even so, Emperor Chongzhen still did not directly cancel Qian Qianyi's opportunity to enter the cabinet, but issued an edict the next day.
Ordered the cabinet to confront each other with Qian Qianyi and Wen Tiren in the Wenhua Palace.
On the same day, Qian Qianyi was shocked when he heard that Wen Tiren had impeached him, and then he tried his best to defend himself in pain, and his words were extremely aggrieved, and most of the cabinet officials present also supported Qian Qianyi.
However, Wen Tiren's fierce rhetoric showed no mercy, not only accusing those officials who stood with Qian Qianyi as 'friends', but also accusing Qian Qianyi of endangering society.
told Emperor Chongzhen that he had actually expected to be attacked by the ministers in turn, and pretended to take the blame and resigned.
But this move is a rare 'loyal' person in Chongzhen's eyes, and Chongzhen actually comforted Wen Tiren with generous words in the Wenhua Palace.
Although Wen Tiren was alone, the words that came out of his mouth were what Chongzhen was most afraid of happening, and the power was naturally magnified countless times after hearing Chongzhen's ears.
Immediately, Emperor Chongzhen ordered someone to take the examination papers of the Zhejiang Examination to watch carefully.
When he saw the tail of the volume, he suddenly saw the insinuation of the words 'once he stepped on the green clouds', and Emperor Chongzhen was immediately furious.
immediately ordered Qian Qianyi to be dismissed, and the courtiers were shocked.
Several cabinet ministers such as Zhang Yunru in the matter jointly interceded for Qian Qianyi, but Emperor Chongzhen was angry.
Seeing these ministers crying and pleading so bitterly only felt a deep disgust, which happened to be at this time.
The only official in the Wenhua Hall who supported Wen Tiren came out to impeach Qian Qianyi, Zhang Yunru and others for being 'friends', conniving, favoritism and other crimes.
This person is Emperor Chongzhen's most trusted right attendant of the Ministry of Rites Zhou Yanru recently, so Emperor Chongzhen was furious and dismissed all the ministers such as Zhang Yunru and sent them to prison.
Not only that, Chongzhen threw the list submitted by the cabinet directly under the jade ladder.
It was useless to call Zhou Yanru alone in the Wenhua Hall that night, and the two talked for a long time, and no one knew what they said.
On the second day, Emperor Chongzhen issued a holy decree, and Zhou Yanru, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and concurrently served as a scholar of Dongge University, and entered the cabinet to participate in the military aircraft.
After hearing this, Wen Tiren immediately held a grudge against Zhou Yanru and was jealous, but he had offended most of the Donglin Party in the DPRK because of Qian Qianyi, and since that day he has been constantly impeached by Yanguan Yushi, and the past and even trivial things have been flying to Emperor Chongzhen's desk one by one.
Ran Chongzhen has great trust in Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru at this moment, and has always ignored these twists and turns, so Wen Tiren had no choice but to put down the matter of impeaching Zhou Yanru and turn to friendship.
After Zhou Yanru entered the cabinet, the court was not calm, and when discussing how to deal with the Denglai rebellion for several days, it happened that the matter of Houjin's expedition to Chahar came.
Hearing this, no one in the court was alarmed, and they congratulated Chongzhen one after another, saying that God bless the Ming, and Wen Tiren proposed it.
Resisting the eastern captives with the west is a good way to weaken Jiannu, and the rest of the people are in agreement, so they don't care much about this matter.
Compared with the ease in the court, the Yongan Army is a strong soldier in Datong Town, and it looks like a big war is coming, which is very puzzling.
However, this puzzle did not last long, more than a month later, in the middle of May of the fifth year of Chongzhen, a report from Xuanfu Town's 800-mile urgent residence was reported to the court.
It turned out that Lin Dan Khan was originally stationed outside the border wall of Xuanfu Town, and when he heard that the Jurchen 100,000 iron cavalry were attacking, he was already panicked, and some troops kept fleeing before they fought.
At the instigation of many tribal lords, Lin Dan Khan directly led the Chahar tribe to flee westward.
And Huang Taiji laughed when he heard it, but he didn't let Lin Dan Khan think in the slightest, and immediately divided his troops to chase and fight fiercely.
On the way, the Jurchen cavalry and the Mongol cavalry fought continuously, and most of them ended in the complete victory of the Jurchen cavalry.
Lin Dan Khan did not dare to stay after receiving the reports of defeat and death, and kept leading the people to flee, but this also caused the Chahar people to gradually drift away from Germany.
The followers gradually decreased, and there were constantly tribal lords who privately led their troops to return to Houjin, and Lin Dan Khan was already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect himself, so he had to flee to Qinghai before stopping.
Huang Taiji saw that Lin Dan Khan had led his people across the Yellow River and went away like Qinghai, so he ordered to stop the attack, and gathered the scattered people of the Chahar tribes into the Mongolian Eight Banners, so that tens of thousands of soldiers were added.
Dolgon suggested that at this moment, the Southern Dynasty was busy with the Denglai rebellion and there would be no soldiers and Xuanzhen, and suggested that the border wall should enter the land of Gyeonggi from Mongolia.
Huang Taiji agreed with this very much, so the Houjin soldiers surrounded Xuanfu and Datong in three ways, among which Haoge and Turge led two yellow flags into Xuanfu.
Originally, Azig was defeated and lost after the Linghe River, and it was impossible for him to be the main general again.
However, remembering that he fought bravely in the battle against Lin Dan Khan, and often rushed into battle without fear of death and made great achievements, Huang Taiji restored the lords of Azig and Shuobeile under the intercession of the nobles of Zhubeile.
He was ordered to be the general of Heshuo Yangwu, and led two white flags and tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry with Belle Dolgon into Datong, and he led the rest of the men and horses to settle in Guihua City to dispatch back and forth.
After this defeat, the seemingly powerful 'Lord of the 40,000 Mongol Empire' Lin Dan Khan was defeated by Huang Taiji without any suspense, and Chahar was already seriously injured, and it was no longer possible to deter the Mongol tribes.
When Huang Taiji was stationed in the city of Guihua, Taiji, who had already attached to Lin Dan Khan, came to express his submission to Houjin, and Huang Taiji gladly accepted.
In this way, Huang Taiji had actually unified the Mongol tribes in southern Mo and drove Lin Dan Khan to the remote and barren land of Qinghai, and the malaise of the Jurchen banners after the defeat of Linghe also dissipated.
In May, Azig led tens of thousands of iron horsemen from Wanquanwei in Xuanfu Town to Xinpingbao and Yongjia Fort in Datong and won 14 battles.
Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were plundered by the Ming army and civilians, swept away the decline of the Linghe River, and shocked the second town of Xuanda.
And Haoge led the Jurchen Second Road in the territory of Xuanfu is also rampage, as if entering the realm of no one, the Jingshi heard the thunder and moved, and Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to impose martial law in Gyeonggi.
