Chapter 299: Yuan Du's Sin

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chongzhen smiled, "What, do you think your father's death is wronged? You want to take revenge?"

Hearing this, Yuan Chengzhi's eyes immediately became fierce, "The hatred of killing my father is not shared!"

"If your brother-in-law Li Yan is here, he will definitely refute you!" Chongzhen Road.

"If my brother-in-law were here, he would definitely help me avenge me!"

"Really?" Chongzhen smiled, "I'm afraid things won't be what you think. After the Battle of Shanhaiguan last year, Li Yan surrendered to me and helped me divide the fields and land in the four northern provinces, and now, he is helping me stabilize the people's livelihood in Liaodong!"

"Tell the truth!"

"Oh? Still not convinced?" Chongzhen took a copy of the book from the dragon case and threw it out, "Take a look!"

Yuan Chengzhi's arms were unloaded, and he couldn't pick up the song at all, but after the song fell to the ground, it was already spread out, "This handwriting ......"

"Yes, you still know Li Yan's handwriting!"

Chongzhen got up, walked up to Yuan Chengzhi, and reached out to support his left arm, "You bear with it."

After a period of severe pain, Yuan Chengzhi's left arm returned to its place, although the pain was still unbearable, but he was shocked and quickly picked up the song.

"Don't you worry?"

Chongzhen put his right arm back in place and sat down on the dragon chair by himself.

"How is this possible?" Yuan Chengzhi looked at Song Shu and muttered to himself, looking incredulous.

"Why is it impossible? It can only be the people you know, and the people who killed your father are demons?"

"What sin is my father?"

"You think your father died unjustly, I will tell you about your father's sins now."

Chongzhen moved, found a comfortable position, looked ahead, and said, "In the second year of the Apocalypse, your father was promoted to a servant to supervise the army outside the Guan, due to the urgency of the war, the imperial court was eager to employ people, and your father recommended himself to Liaodong.

His official position is not high, and his scope of authority is also very small, but your father does not believe in evil, once, he found that someone in the army was deducting military salaries, and he took it upon himself to kill Yang Chengxiu, the deputy general Xu Lian, who had fallen above him.

Do you say that this kind of thing can be tolerated by Li Zicheng if you put it in the camp where you are allegiant?"

Yuan Chengzhi did not speak.

Chongzhen didn't care about him, and continued:

"Your father is addicted to killing officials. In the second year of Chongzhen, your father landed on Phi Island on the grounds of a military parade, and after the banquet, he suddenly listed Mao Wenlong's twelve major sins, showed Shang Fang's sword, and killed Mao Wenlong on the spot.

Mao Wenlong is the chief military officer, the official to the governor of the left, a first-class officer, and the general's seal, even if he does not listen to orders, he riskes his merits to ask for rewards, commits a capital crime, and should be killed.

But isn't it a great crime for your father to slaughter the generals regardless of the consequences, and to plant the root of the curse for the imperial court?"

Yuan Chengzhi looked stubborn, "The generals who deducted military salaries, Mao Wenlong, who took the risk and did not obey orders, are all people who should be killed, my father killed right!"

"Yes! Damn it!" Chongzhen affirmed.

Yuan Chengzhi was puzzled, Chongzhen actually supported it?

"But!" Chongzhen's words changed, "There are still tens of thousands of Ming troops on Phi Island, even if these people are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, they can help the Ming army sneak attack the enemy at a critical moment. Mao Wenlong deducted military salaries or falsely reported the number of people, but Mao Wenlong could point to Jianyu, so that Huang Taiji did not dare to go south, and the imperial court should stabilize Mao Wenlong.

Especially if you don't find someone who can replace him, you can't touch him!"

Do you know that Phi Dao is like a nail in front of Jianyu's eyes that can't be seen and touched, it can't be hit, it can't be attacked, but it can attack Jianyu's back road at any time.

From Nurhachi to Huang Taiji, Mao Wenlong is undoubtedly the object that Hou Jin wants to get rid of, and for Da Ming, this is an extremely important chess piece, as long as Phi Dao is still in Mao Wenlong's hands, Huang Taiji will not dare to act rashly!"

Yuan Chengzhi never considered it in this direction, he only knew that Mao Wenlong had committed a lot of crimes, and his father had eliminated harm for the people.

"Killing Mao Wenlong relieved Huang Taiji's worries, and Jian Yu has since gone south without scruples. Repeatedly attacked to the Beijing Division. Hundreds of thousands of people died in Gyeonggi and Bukzhili, and they were taken into captivity

Hundreds of thousands of people were gone, hundreds of cities, villages and towns were burned, and countless gold, silver, grain, and grass were taken away.

Your father must take a share of this sin."

Yuan Chengzhi was speechless, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Chongzhen didn't say a word, waiting for him to refute.

Half an hour later, "My father has made great achievements in battle, and even if he is guilty, he should not be sentenced to rebellion, and he will be punished with 3,000 swords!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Chengzhi's eyes were red.

"Okay, speaking of exploits." Chongzhen spoke, "First of all, his Liaodong achievements were the Ningyuan Great Victory and the Ningjin Great Victory, and the supreme commander at that time was Sun Chengzong, your father was neither the inventor of the Hongyi cannon nor the one who accidentally injured Nurhachi as a gunner, why do you say that he made military exploits?"

"This ......"

"Subsequently, your father appeared at Nurhachi's funeral and arranged peace without permission, forcing me to acquiesce.

On the pretext of encouraging Jianlu, he sold grain to Mongolia without authorization, which eventually led to the imperial court allocating military rations to deal with Jianlu, which went to Liaodong through the hands of Mongolia, raised the Jianlu army, and sold gold and silver, but the imperial court did not get a penny. In the end, more military salaries must be allocated to deal with the prisoners.

Your father negotiated peace without authorization, and indirectly financed the enemy, did he do the right thing? Is it guilty?"

"My father negotiated peace because of the strong military strength of Jianlu, and for the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty......

"Wrong! It's because your father's ability is mediocre, he can't beat Jianyu, and he promised five years of Pingliao's big words, so he had to do it. If Jianyu's military strength is unmatched, how can he be defeated by me in half a year?"

Yuan Chengzhi was speechless and frowned.

Chongzhen didn't give him a chance to refute this time, "In the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji bypassed the Ningjin defense line and attacked the territory of the Ming Dynasty from Xifengkou, preparing to attack the Jingshi directly.

Your father reconnoitred and found that instead of stopping the attack, he ordered his troops to follow.

Your father's deputy commander-in-chief, Zhou Wenyu, objected and proposed to meet the enemy army and never enter the city of Jingshi.

Your father didn't listen, he had the ability to stop the enemy in Jizhou, but he let the enemy slip away, and then the same was true in Tongzhou, and Huang Taiji was under your father's nose, and unhindered the eastern barrier of the capital, Yutian, Sanhe, Xianghe, Shunyi and other cities, so he led the war to Gyeonggi and attacked the foot of the capital.

By this time, your father had not yet gone into battle to attack the enemy, and actually asked to enter the city to defend!

You say, if you are the general of the Jingshi, do you dare to let a general who has been conniving with the enemy lead his army into the city?"

Yuan Chengzhi's brain was short-circuited, he had never thought that his father was a hero, he had never considered these things, and he had never analyzed the stakes.

His faith collapsed.

Today he saw Li Yan's performance, and knew Chongzhen's policy of benefiting the people and loving the people, and compared with what Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong did, the belief he had established since childhood began to crack.

Just now, Chongzhen proudly connected his arms, which made his belief loosen even more.
