Chapter One Hundred and Three. Chaos is coming
"Destroy the black dragon and seize the grain!"
"Destroy the black dragon and seize the grain!"
"Destroy the black dragon and seize the grain!"
The victims waved their arms and shouted slogans. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
For the elimination of the black dragon, the victims may not be interested, grabbing food and having something to eat is what they are thinking.
They had been hungry for a long time, and no one rescued them, so they were finally taken in by Chen Dashan, barely had something to eat, and got rid of the threat of death.
But in the blink of an eye, the king of Lu, who had been transformed by the black dragon, took away their food. robbed them of hope for life.
People are like this, without the relief of Chen Dashan people, no one will pick the head, they may slowly starve to death one by one and become dry bones on the side of the road.
But when hope comes, when someone dares to take them away, they will rebel fiercely. What's more, it's still life-saving food.
Now, now that there is Chen Dashan, who is a Buddha, he conforms to the will of heaven and leads everyone to destroy the black dragon, seize food, and live a peaceful life. Then do it.
Don't forget each other. What a beautiful slogan.
Looking at the angry victims, Yang Wu. Yang Liu only felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.
The planner is in action step by step. First of all, they gathered the victims of the disaster, gave food rations, and won the hearts of the people.
Then he pretended to be a military guard, snatched grain and grass, and triggered public resentment.
In the end, he pretended to be a ghost, led the people's grievances, and captured Yanzhou City.
What's even more terrifying is that listening to what Chen Dashan said, there is definitely an internal response in Yanzhou City, otherwise how could this group of disaster victims directly attack the garrison yamen and seize weapons.
From that group of cavalry rushed into Chenjiazhuang, without anyone to point out, directly seized the grain. After the appearance of the White Lotus Sect's White-clothed Venerable, the two of them understood that this Chen Dashan person's kindness to help the people was completely to demagogue.
The two exchanged glances with each other and understood each other's thoughts, and the top priority was to quickly transmit the news back to Yanzhou City.
Otherwise, under the guidance of these 100,000 disaster victims, what awaits Yanzhou City will inevitably be a disaster after the city is broken.
Leaving immediately now, it was obviously a reckless move, and it was easy to be discovered, and the two of them stayed in the crowd honestly for the time being, waiting for the opportunity.
After the victims were quiet, Chen Dashan asked people to bring a few pigs to kill them on the spot, and then took off the pig's head and came to a simple ritual of worshipping the sky.
After the completion of the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, Chen Dashan said that from tonight to tomorrow, all the remaining food will be taken out, and everyone can let go of eating and drinking, with wine and meat.
Looking at the few fat pigs in front of them, the victims who couldn't get the smell of meat a few times a year naturally cheered.
For them, before they die, they can let go of their belly to eat and drink, at least they are full of ghosts in the underworld.
After a long time, the voices of the people calmed down, and Chen Dashan and others explained that the victims should recite the scriptures sincerely. Turn and leave.
The victims returned to their resting places, sitting or lying, and even the devout ones had begun to recite the mantra of death.
After Yang Wu pretended to recite a few words of the mantra, he found that there were no suspicious characters around, turned his head to Yang Liu beside him and said:
"There are sentry posts all around Zhuangzi, and the guards at the tunkou are now significantly strengthened. How can I get the word out? ”
(Note: Send an anti-piracy chapter, change it after two hours, and send you something about the party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty for everyone to see.)
……………………
The party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty was an important historical event in the late Ming Dynasty. As the main party in the history of party struggle, how to understand the Donglin Party is actually the characterization of the Donglin Party, the characterization of the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty, or the characterization of various political events in the late Ming Dynasty, and it also involves the Zang or not of countless characters involved in it, and involves the interests of all aspects, so it has been debated endlessly since the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Since the reform and opening up, the ideology has become more and more active, and the evaluation of the Donglin Party has become more and more diverse. The controversy that has been raging since the end of the Ming Dynasty has once again been rampant. Today, the relevant figures have passed away, and their disciples and grandchildren have also disappeared, and our evaluation of the Donglin Party should be more objective. With the elimination of the background of the political struggle of one or the other, and the fact that the relevant figures have passed away for a long time, people's understanding has become more diverse and complex, although it can be objective.
1. Resume of party struggle
1. Arguments
In the early years of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng began a vigorous reform. He strengthened the centralized system of power in the cabinet. Some Donglin bigwigs, who played a core role in the future party struggle, stood on the opposite side of Zhang Juzheng with a clear banner under the high pressure of the powerful Zhang Juzheng. They are: Gu Xiancheng, Ye Xianggao, Zhao Yongxian.
2. The dispute between the cabinet and the department
The dispute between the cabinet lasted from the 18th year of Wanli to the 22nd year of Wanli, and the cabinet ministers successively had Shen Shixing, Zhao Zhigao, Zhang Wei, and Wang Xijue, and the presiding officers successively had Song Qi, Lu Guangzu, Sun Yan, Zhao Yongxian (the left servant of the ministry), and Chen Younian. In the end, it ended in a complete victory for the ministers.
The Cabinet Dispute at this stage has the following characteristics:
(1) Cabinet disputes
The Cabinet dispute was a power struggle between the Cabinet and the Outer Court Government (mainly the Six Ministries, especially the Ministers). There is a clear distinction between the two sides in terms of political power and structure, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of power struggle can be classified as self-centeredness.
(2) There are no major cases
The disputes between the cabinet and the ministry are all normal struggles over administrative affairs, and the focus of the struggle is basically the business of the ministry. Although it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong on both sides of the struggle, the aims, positions, and means of both sides are very clear and clear, and the final result is very mild, but it is only an active or passive dismissal or demotion.
(3) The appearance of the government side in the outer court has a huge influence
Since the main focus of the struggle was on the business of the ministry, it was basically the officials of the ministry who came forward on the side of the government of the outer court. In other words, as the head of the six ministries and nine secretaries, the officials of the Ministry of Officials, on behalf of the government, took the initiative to carry out the power struggle with the cabinet based on their own business, and their performance was very eye-catching. At this time, many of the characters who appeared in the Ministry will have a huge impact in the future, such as Gu Xiancheng, Zhao Lanxing, and Gao Panlong, all of whom can be regarded as the core figures of the Donglin Party. Because of their huge influence in the future, the relatively simple cabinet dispute has become important.
(4) The emperor's role is pivotal, and his position is more obvious
An examination of the dispute between the cabinet and the cabinet shows that although the cabinet won the final victory, it was very passive in the whole process of the struggle, and it can even be said that it was beaten everywhere. In the course of the struggle, the officials took the initiative and not only took the lead in the struggle for power, but also exerted a huge influence on the government and the opposition, and their prestige was also rising. The final victory of the cabinet was entirely due to the fact that Emperor Shenzong was on their side and frequently intervened. At this stage, Emperor Shenzong also rarely stayed in the middle minister's recitals, and frequently acted as the final inquisitor, and his performance was very active.
3. Party struggle in the early stage
After the cabinet dispute, there was a relative calm for several years.
In the 22nd year of Wanli, Shen has always entered the cabinet. In October of the 26th year of Wanli, Zhao Zhigao, the first assistant, recuperated at home, and Shen has always been in charge of the cabinet alone, which lasted for three years. Shen has always been originally from Ningbo, Zhejiang, and during his tenure, most of the Zhejiang officials were attached to his subordinates, such as Chen Zhilong in the right middle, Yao Wenwei in the household department, Zhong Zhaodou in the engineering department, and He Canran, a member of the ministry.
In the 29th year of Wanli, Shen Li, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Geng entered the cabinet as a scholar of Dongge University. After Shen Li entered the cabinet, he also made a deep self-acceptance with the left capital Yu Shi Wenchun in the same year, and the right attendant of the protégé and rite department, Guo Zhengyu, etc., and the dispute between friends and friends gradually emerged. In the early stage of the party struggle, after the three major battles of the King of Chu case, the demon book case, and the Yisi Jingcha case, it finally ended with the dismissal of the commanders of both sides, Shen Yiyi and Shen Li, on the same day in July of the 34th year of Wanli.
This stage of the struggle gave rise to new features:
(1) Evenly matched, no longer bounded by the cabinet
On one side of the struggle is the Zhejiang Party with Shen Cheng as the core, and on the other side is the Donglin Party with Shen Li as the core. With the expulsion of the officials and the entry of Shen Li into the cabinet, both sides of the struggle had cabinet ministers in the cabinet, and the two sides had cabinet ministers as the core, and all departments of the government in Beijing were involved in party disputes, and the performance of the six ministries was eye-catching. The two sides were evenly matched in the struggle, and the fight was evenly matched.
(2) Major cases have arisen and the struggle has deepened
At this stage, two major cases, the Chu King Case and the Demon Book Case, appeared, which can be regarded as the escalation of the means of struggle and the deepening of the level of struggle. Compared with the struggle for government affairs in the dispute between the cabinet and the minister, the struggle around major cases is more intense and complicated. First of all, there is no room for discussion in such major cases, where right is wrong, right is right. In the case of King Chu, it is right that Zhu Huakui is the son of King Gong of Chu, otherwise it is wrong; In the Demon Book case, the person who concocted the Demon Book was wrong. Secondly, this kind of case involves a major case, and the case of the King of Chu involves whether the King of Chu is authentic, which is very important in the feudal era; The demon book case even involves the royal prince, which can be said to be related to the country. It is precisely because the two cases involve major and clear distinctions between right and wrong, so the results of their handling are also clear and cruel, in the demon book case, the suspected main culprit Hui Shengguang was executed by Ling Chi, and his family was assigned to the frontier to fill the army. In both cases, a number of people were subjected to brutal torture. But no one could figure out the ins and outs of these two major cases, so the two sides flew up and down, intrigued, and launched a fierce struggle around the process of the case. The struggle deepened and brutalized, and the grievances between the two sides became more irreconcilable.
(3) The emperor played a key role, but was hesitant
Due to the seriousness, complexity and cruelty of the case, the Wanli Emperor was more cautious and stayed in the center many times, reflecting his hesitation. But at the last moment, the Wanli Emperor decisively came up with a thunderbolt to stop the continuation of the case and the further development of the struggle.
(4) Normal government affairs have been affected by party disputes
Otomi Kyocha was carried out for 7 months before and after the party dispute; In the course of party disputes, many officials were dismissed from their posts and failed to make up for them in a timely manner, and this cannot but seriously affect the normal operation of the government.
