Chapter 111. Yanzhou Crisis 3
The fingers of the four Baylors slamming the table faster and faster, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, unwilling, he was really unwilling, and the good situation fell short. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But now that the plan has been leaked, the Ming army in Yanzhou must be prepared. It will be difficult to take Yanzhou in one go.
What's even more infuriating is that this group of fools of the White Lotus Sect, the matter has already been exposed, and they don't know how to start an incident immediately, so they directly attack Yanzhou with the victims, since they still sent a messenger to inform him of the time of the incident.
A few hours were wasted, you need to know the impermanence of the army, a few hours, who knows what will happen.
After a long time, Sibeile clenched his fists, looked at Huerhan and said:
"We can attack Yanzhou City in the early morning tomorrow, although it has been delayed for a few hours, but there are not many defenders in Yanzhou, even if we prepare in advance, we may not be able to resist the attack of the White Lotus Sect."
"But Lord Belle, in case of failure, your safety ......" Hu Erhan hurriedly dissuaded.
"As long as Yanzhou City is in place, even if Jinan Mansion takes precautions in advance, it can guide the White Lotus Sect to develop southward and turn Shandong upside down. If so, we must force the soldiers and horses of Liaodong to return to defense. ”
Four Baylor interrupted the worried Huerhan and continued:
"You go and inform our people, keep an eye on that nurse's son, I suspect that the plan has been leaked, and it has a lot to do with this person."
…………………….
Yanzhou City, the prefect's yamen.
Yang Wu and Yang Qi pressed Liu Qiangong, the Yanzhou garrison, in front of Hou Guoxing.
"Lord Hou, why is this happening?" King Lu on the side pulled Hou Guoxing's sleeve and asked anxiously.
He is really in a hurry, if the White Lotus Sect breaks the city, the fate of him, the King of Lu, must be the most desolate. Lord Keqincha actually restrained the only military general in Yanzhou City for no reason.
"My lord, is there any misunderstanding?" Xie Youan was also anxious.
In today's situation, I don't want to work together to tide over the difficulties, but instead take down the only military general, the Yanzhou garrison, not to light the lamp in the pit and look for death.
Hou Guoxing didn't pay attention to the two, but just stared at Liu Qiangong, who was struggling to the death, and said:
"Liu Qiangong! Are you guilty? ”
"What is the crime of the lower officials?" Liu Qiangong lowered his head and asked.
"This official asks you, where did the dozens of sets of cavalry equipment of the White Lotus Sect come from?" Hou Guoxing asked again.
Xia Guan really didn't know that the armor in Yanzhou City was not only the garrison yamen. Liu Qiangong looked at King Lu and said with little confidence.
Before Liu Qiangong finished speaking, King Lu's face changed greatly, and he scolded:
"Liu Qiangong, you dog thief, dare to spew blood?"
Since King Lu is not in a hurry, the entire Yanzhou City, where dozens of mansions can be armoured, in addition to guarding the yamen, there is only King Lu's mansion.
After King Lu finished speaking, he turned to Hou Guoxing and arched his hand, and said hurriedly:
"My lord, although this king is greedy for money, as an imperial prince, he can't do such a thing as colluding with the White Lotus Sect and thieves, I hope your lord will see it."
"DID YOU KNOW? The first target of the rebels was to garrison the yamen? Hou Guoxing looked at Liu Qiangong and sneered:
"Don't tell the officer, you don't know anything?"
"What?" Liu Qiangong's face changed drastically, and his whole body trembled slightly.
"Lord Liu, what do you have to explain to this official?" Hou Guoxing squatted down, stared at Liu Qiangong's eyes and asked.
"Down... Xiaguan, I really don't know why the thieves want to attack the garrison yamen. Liu Qiangong turned his head to the side and said with a weak heart.
"Come on, cut down this spy who colluded with the White Lotus thief!" Hou Guoxing was furious and completely lost patience with this Yanzhou garrison who did not see the coffin and did not shed tears.
"Big... My lord, I am unjust! "Let Yang Wu. Yang Qi dragged Liu Qiangong, who was about to make a move, and begged loudly for mercy.
"This official asked you one last time, where did the armor of the White Lotus Sect come from?" Hou Guoxing stared at Liu Qiangong and asked coldly.
"Big... My lord... Humble duty... The steel knife in Yang Wu's hand was clearly shaking, and Liu Qiangong, who wanted to speak, just spoke, and he couldn't say anything.
"Chop!" After Hou Guoxing finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"It's a lowly insider....." Looking at Hou Guoxing, who was about to leave, Liu Qiangong roared, his eyes turned red, and he recounted.
Seven days ago, after Liu Qiangong returned home from the garrison yamen, he found that a man had come to the house.
I heard my insider's say that he was a distant cousin from Liaodong. This time, I came to Yanzhou to prepare for some grain trading.
Of course, I also gave Lord Liu's daughter-in-law some rouge gouache and silk satin. and 1,000 taels of silver, which is considered a gift for the nephew for the first time.
Although the Ming Dynasty is very defensive for men and women, since he is the elder brother of the insider, then everything is another matter.
There are relatives at home, and Liu Qiangong, the garrison who loves his wife very much, naturally has to entertain him well, and he can't lose the face of his insiders.
After the two of them had a good time, the cousin complimented Lord Liu and praised him for his young and promising careers, and he was a figure in Yanzhou City. My sister-in-law married Liu Qiangong, which was really a blessing from my previous life.
After some compliments from his cousin, Lord Liu naturally felt great satisfaction in his vanity, and patted his chest to assure his cousin that there was nothing he couldn't do in Yanzhou City.
Who would have thought that this cousin immediately proposed that now the famine is serious, and the banditry in Shandong is serious, and he hopes that the brother-in-law, who is the garrison adult, will help get dozens of pairs of armor.
The later result was that Liu Qian's power consumption was not as stubborn as his insiders, and he secretly got fifty pairs of armor from the garrison yamen and bought them for his wife's uncle at a high price of 1,000 taels.
When I heard Yang Wu say just now that dozens of cavalrymen in armor rushed into Chenjiazhuang and grabbed food, Liu Qiangong felt that something was wrong.
"Your brother-in-law is Chen Dashan?" Hou Guoxing asked.
"That day, the lowly wife and uncle had already left after taking away the armor, and the lowly Chen Dashan had never seen it, so I am afraid it is possible."
After Liu Qiangong finished speaking, he kowtowed violently to Hou Guoxing, and shouted:
"My lord was humble but he didn't save face, so he bought fifty pairs of armor for my wife's uncle. As for the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, I don't know anything about it. ”
Hou Guoxing frowned and got up, and after a while, he asked:
"Regardless of whether what you say is true or not, the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy has been achieved, and this officer will take you into custody first, and make a decision after taking everything to find out. Now that the official wants to transfer all the garrison camps outside the city back to the city, are you willing to cooperate? ”
Up to now, Liu Qiangong, as the only military general in Yanzhou City who knows how to soldier, Hou Guoxing is not willing to kill in life, so he can only take care of the overall situation first.
To be able to keep his head on his head, Liu Qiangong is naturally willing in every way, and of course Liu Qiangong can't help but disagree.
Soon, Hou Guoxing entrusted the relevant matters related to the entry of the victims into the city to King Lu and the prefect Xie You'an, and explained that when the victims entered the city, they must resettle the victims separately according to their household registration, and the victims of the same village must know each other to avoid spies from mixing into the city.
After everything was explained, Hou Guoxing took a hundred cavalry from the Lu Wangfu, as well as Yang Wu and Yang Liu. Liu Qiangong and the others got up and went to the garrison yamen.
After all, compared to the disaster victims entering the city, the 1,500 soldiers outside Yanzhou City are now the most important thing. Hou Guoxing, who couldn't tolerate the slightest mistake, could only go out in person.
Before leaving, Hou Guoxing returned to the backyard and found that Zhu Huiyan had left, and a trace of reluctance and relief flashed in his heart. Shaking his head, he turned to leave.
Soon, Hou Guoxing and others came to the garrison camp ten miles outside the city.
As soon as the sentry soldiers saw that their adults had returned to the camp with hundreds of cavalry from the palace, they opened the camp gate from afar, and a group of people rode their horses straight into the camp.
2. What is the Donglin Party?
The controversy about the Donglin Party is rampant, but there is no unified statement on what the Donglin Party is, resulting in each saying its own thing, and the same "Donglin Party" contains different contents.
1. There is no party in Donglin
"Donglin has no party" is the view of Fan Shuzhi, a famous scholar in Ming history. He believes that the Donglin Party is a party of friends, not a political party in the modern sense, and it does not have a clear political program and organizational form, and it does not need to join the party or leave the party, so it is extremely difficult to determine its personnel. Moreover, Gu Xiancheng and others have never formed a party, and when the party struggle was at its most intense, he had already gone into the wilderness, and it was hard to imagine that he was thousands of miles away in Wuxi, remote to control the Donglin Party in the capital. In this sense, it is true that Donglin has no party.
2. Donglin small group
The "Donglin Party" borrowed the name of Donglin Academy, so the Donglin Party must have appeared only after the establishment of Donglin Academy in the 32nd year of Wanli. At this time, the party struggle between the two Shen was in full swing, coupled with the preparation of Donglin Academy and the transportation thousands of miles away, strictly speaking, the early party struggle between the two Shen can be completely ignored in the head of the Donglin Party. It is precisely because the Donglin Party borrows the name of Donglin Academy that the core of Donglin Academy should be the undoubted core of the Donglin Party. The core figures in the construction and maintenance of Donglin Academy, in addition to Gu Xiancheng, Gao Panlong, Gu Yuncheng, There are also An Xifan, Liu Yuanzhen, Shi Menglin, Chen Youxue, Ye Maocai, Zhang Dashou, Wang Yongtu and others, but unfortunately Wang Yongtu and Zhang Dashou are basically not Donglin Party members, and An Xifan is also reluctant. Let's call this group of people the Donglin Small Group.
3. Donglin Party in the narrow sense
The Donglin Party in the narrow sense refers to the Donglin Party members who are recognized by the old and new parties, as well as by the government and the opposition. According to this definition, some members of the Donglin small group do not even belong to the narrow sense of the Donglin Party, and we will include the members of the Donglin small group in the narrow sense of the Donglin Party. According to this definition, in addition to the small group of Donglin in the narrow sense, the Donglin Party also includes Zhao Lanxing, Zou Yuanbiao, Yu Yuli, Wang Yuanhan, Li Sancai, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, and even whether Ye Xianggao and Shen Li are considered Donglin Party members is also between the two.
There are still big problems in defining the Donglin Party in this way. In view of the fact that the Donglin Party is a friend party, there is no party joining ceremony, and there is no clear political program, how to define the Donglin Party in different periods as the same Donglin Party? Can the Donglin Party during Gu Xiancheng's tenure and the Donglin Party during Yu Yuli's tenure be regarded as one party? Why? Yu Kong Jian and Gu Xian became the same year, and Yu Yuli was the son of Yu Kong Jian. Gu Xiancheng's same year may not be the only one in Kong Jian, the same year is an important social relationship, but as the basis for forming a party, it does not seem to be very convincing. As a political symbol that has influenced Chinese history for hundreds of years, it is obviously impossible for the Donglin Party to be based solely on the same year or fellow villagers.
