Text: Chapter 7 is loud and far away, and the cicadas are singing to themselves
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen (1639), although the emperor tried his best to serve the country, whenever people were shouting "long live, long live", he knew that his "dragon body" was also a physical body, and every change in the world would make his tense and keen nerves tremble, because he cared too much about his country, he was too concerned about whether his efforts in the past ten years had progressed, and he really wanted to save the already precarious Daming country from the dire situation. He really didn't want his ancestors' hundreds of years of inheritance to really be buried in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen. However, Li Zicheng's peasant army was like a surging tide, which had hit the Central Plains, and this peasant army, which had been despised by the imperial court, did not expect to surge into a torrent! And the iron hooves of the Qing army also took the opportunity to enter, making him suffer from the enemy on his back, but no matter how brave the generals he sent were, it was difficult to report the victory into the court!
One day in March, when the emperor heard the news that the Qing army had broken through Jinan, the German king Zhu Youshu had been captured, and more than 60 towns had fallen, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground in a fit of rage. After waking up, he ordered Yang Sichang to discuss the crime of the wreckage of the civil and military ministers! On the first day of the fifth month, Yang Sichang learned about the five sins of wrecking! One said that the border was lost, the second was a ruined city, the third was the lost commander, and the fourth was a wait-and-see army, and when he saw this, he threw the song to the ground! So all those who fail in their duties are condemned. Zheng Xizhao, the director of Jizhen Town, Sun Maolin, the lieutenant of the sub-prison, Zu Bao, the governor of Shuntian, Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, Wu Guofu, Chen Guowei, the governor of Jizhen, Ni Chong, the governor of Shandong, Zu Kuan, the chief soldier of the reinforcement, Li Chongzhen and his deputy general, there are 36 people in Si Fan who are on the same death penalty, and the number of those who have been assassinated and degraded is more!
Emperor Chongzhen cried: "Why do they support the army and wait and see, and let the Qing army invade my country in vain, I am not thin on you!" ......" The ministers of the court knelt on the ground one after another, silent. The voice of the emperor's sorrow echoed in the air! Emperor Chongzhen's sincerity can be learned, and the people are moved! In 1635, his guilty edict was issued to the world, which shows that he was tolerated by the people, but often blindly confiding sincerity has become the "weakness" of the evildoer. I'm afraid it's only Chongzhen? A generation of kings, who has let go of their domineering and admitted that their country is wrong? In the hegemonic system where right is wrong and wrong is right, I'm afraid there is only Emperor Chongzhen? Empty to the people's touch, and lose a bit of inherent authority! And in this place, the people are panicked and turbulent, and there have long been desperate peasants who have risen up, but Emperor Chongzhen has made the "heart words" that should not be revealed public! In this way, no matter how hard he tried, he also cultivated the arrogance of the wicked! He blindly gave priority to allocating supplies to the army, thinking that only strong soldiers could defend the country, but instead of cultivating their ambition, they pampered them: their servile greed and arrogance, the so-called "arrogant soldiers will be defeated", no wonder they "wait and see" when the enemy army comes!
On June 23, Emperor Chongzhen made up his mind to train the "elite soldiers" to strengthen the country, and naturally he wanted to levy "Lian Xuan", and the people were in suffering again, and some corrupt officials and corrupt officials made a fortune on this enlistment. People's feelings, world conditions, and national conditions all show a desolate atmosphere here.
In October 1639, the Qing army attacked Ningyuan again, the governor of Ningyuan and the Jin Guofeng unified the army of 10,000 people to fight against the Qing army, the Qing army captured Ningyun, the Ming army fled in a cowardly battle, Jin Guofeng was angry and only led dozens of people to fight hard with the Qing army in Beishangang, and finally exhausted his strength, Jin Guofeng and other dozens of people were all killed!
Immediately after the bad news of Zuo Liangyu's defeat was spread frequently, in his grief, he repeatedly ordered Ren Jun to supervise the imperial history of Henan Province, and in the thirteen supervision of the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty, Henan Province held the heaviest position, and was "the imperial history of the imperial history" with a higher status than his colleagues. Under the chaos of the current situation, Ren Jun understands the emperor's hard work, and he also understands the reasons for the deep suffering of this dynasty! He felt the great responsibility of the emperor, and he was not only grateful to the emperor but should not fail in his mission.
Since ancient times, all righteous people have concentricity, and their hearts have induction. In the face of the chaotic situation, we can only face it calmly, and the fallen provinces can no longer be recaptured, and the Central Plains heavyweight "Henan", which temporarily seems to be peaceful, is facing the heavy pressure of "mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings", and it is a matter of time before a powerful storm hits! The sun and the moon are still reincarnated, it doesn't care about the vicissitudes and changes of the world, it dedicates the light to the world, it is to create light for human beings, not to create darkness! It shows the Great Way to humanity, and it is used to create hope, not to destroy the future!
What Ren Jun is facing is no longer the shortcomings of the parents, the hatred of love and murder and the rampant banditry in the small county, but it is directly related to the rise and destruction of this Ming Dynasty! He understood that the rise and desperation of the peasant army was carried with hatred for the Ming Dynasty, and no one gave them justice when they needed it, 'when they needed help, it made matters worse, and when they were suffocated for too long, when they responded, they were naturally willing to follow at the cost of their lives, they had no great purpose, they just wanted to vent the emotions in their hearts, but they had a common goal, when all the little hope they had left turned into hopelessness or despair, they only relied on the struggle, even if they died, they had no regrets! It is a great shame that a well-trained regular army of the imperial court is inferior to a peasant organization! An army has actually fallen to the point of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and being servile, it will be a force that exists in name only, how can the safety of the people and the survival of the court be guaranteed? Ren Jun decided to temper a heroic army in order to compete with the fierce peasant army and the Qing army!
Henan is in the belly of Kyushu, standing in the sky, there is "the center of China and the world", four of China's eight ancient capitals are "Zhengzhou, Anyang, Luoyang, Kaifeng" are in Henan, it can be said that it accounts for half of China's rivers and mountains, and it is the place of contention between the soldiers of the past dynasties. And Li Zicheng's peasant army is only a few hundred miles away from here, and he is looking at the Central Plains with fierce eyes, once China misses, it is equivalent to losing most of China! Then he easily drove straight into Beijing for a long time! When Ren Jun thought of this, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he knew the power of "people's heart", once a dynasty loses the people's heart, it is equivalent to losing its soul. The establishment of a dynasty is the cohesion of the people's hearts, prosperity is the boiling of the people's hearts, and destruction is the desire of the people, a dynasty is not only for its own regime, when the power shows its domineering and unreasonable, and recklessly, the people's hearts begin to drain little by little, after many years of angry suppression, it has formed this irreconcilable contradiction between the people and the court. If the peasant army can be condensed into an enduring morale, how can it cultivate a tenacious morale of the imperial army? In these original ranks, there are a lot of "soldiers", they use the old to sell the old empty military sound, and his commanders in the battle to do evasive wait and see or run away, Ren Jun took office to take down the "scum" in this group of teams, and re-formed new recruits, in a difficult environment to exercise, let them know that their hard training is for the lives of their relatives, the morale in the team is high, they would rather die to protect their homeland, but a few months, Ren Jun trained a strong team.
