Chapter 255: History Is Amazing!

Yulin was founded in the early years of Ming orthodoxy, and in the ninth year of Chenghua (1473 AD), the governor Yu Zijun built it again, and moved the town from Suide to Yulin, so Yansui Town is also called "Yulin Town" after that.

After that, Yulin City passed, Chenghua 22 years (that is, 1486 AD), Hongzhi 5 years (1492 AD), Zhengde 10 years (1515 AD) three large-scale expansion, that is, "three to Yuyang" after the city began to take shape.

The topography of Yulin City is high in the east and low in the west, and the northeast corner protrudes outward.

The wall is rammed with loess, the outer side is wrapped with green bricks, the city is three zhang six feet high, the base is five zhang wide, and the top is three zhang wide.

There are five gates in the city, the north is "Guangyu Gate", the east is "Zhenwu Gate", the big west gate is "Xuanwei Gate", the small west gate is "Chop East Gate", and the south gate is "Zhenyuan Gate".

There are two-storey city gate towers built on the top of each city gate, but in modern times, except for the south gate, the other gates and all the city towers are destroyed.

In modern times, the brick arch gates of the south and east and west and the urn city still exist.

The South Gate and the Urn City are now occupied by the Zhenyuan Hotel.

In the east mountain of Yuzhen Bridge in the south of the city, there is a thirteen-storey brick tower built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, named "Lingxiao Tower".

When Chen Jiawu brought the men and horses over, it was still its magnificent time.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the group walked to the gate of Zhenyuan and stopped.

The city gate was guarded by soldiers, and they were curious to see these nearly a thousand men and horses.

Outside the gate of Zhenyuan, a large group of soldiers were standing silently.

When they saw Chen Jiawu and the others, they all looked back, revealing the situation inside!

I saw a man being pressed to the ground, and someone was hitting the board.

The man remained motionless, but he was not heard.

Chen Jiawu's heart was shocked!

Could it be that this person is also the person written in the young master's charter?

"Unfold the guard of honor and let the chief soldier Wang Wei and the general Chen Hongfan come over to see the general!"

After Chen Jiawu gave the order, he said to Liu Erniu: "Erniu, go over and ask, let me stop fighting!" ”

"Yes!"

Erniu walked over with Li Hongji and other soldiers.

The guard of honor was also raised!

Yansui Zhenzhi records: The general soldier Wang Wei served as Yansui, bravely overlooked, and did not dare to commit crimes, and there was an ancient famous general!

Historical records: General Chen Hongfan, who was a minister of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, rebelled in the Qing Dynasty and caused chaos in the Southern Ming Dynasty. Returning to Jiangnan to act as a traitor, spreading the Qing army's strength and persuading people to surrender as soon as possible, he was called "living Qin Hui".

Zhang Xianzhong, 19 years old at the time, the word Bingzhong, the name Jingxuan, the nickname Huanghu, was born in Dingbian County, Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi.

He was born in a poor family and was smart and stubborn since he was a child. He started a small business with his father and sold red dates. At the beginning, he was a fast catcher, and he entered Yansui Town to become a border soldier.

He was strong by nature and loved to fight and hold grievances, so he violated military law, because Chen Hongfan saw his bravery, he pleaded with Wang Wei, the chief soldier, changed to a hundred military sticks, and expelled the border army!

These are also mentioned in Huang Xiao's charter to Chen Jiawu, of course, it will not be written historical records and other words.

There are also no details of the follow-up of the characters and other aspects.

Later, after Zhang Xianzhong's incident, he was extremely grateful to Chen Hongfan, who interceded for himself at that time! Specially carved the statue of Chen Hongfan in the army, called his parents.

Later, Zhang was repeatedly defeated, Chen Hongfan came to appease, Zhang Daxi, and went to contact Chen Hongfan with gold, silver and jewelry, and he matched him to "caressing" in order to make a comeback.

Later, Zhang Xianzhong soon rebelled again, and Chen Hongfan was demoted and transferred to the governor of Zuodu......

The most disgusting thing about Chen Hongfan is that after the death of the Ming Dynasty, he secretly surrendered to Jiannu, and strongly advocated peace, he and Ma Shaoyu were deputy envoys, national heroes in the late Ming Dynasty, known as the late Ming Dynasty Wen Tianxiang's Zuo Maodi endured humiliation and burdened the main envoy, and sent an envoy to Beijing.

Zuo Maodi was deeply aware of the danger of making peace in the north.

In a letter, he said: "Maodi's trip is the day of Maodi's death."

Determined to "follow the example of Song Zhiwen and leave righteousness through the ages".

After being arrested, Dolgon, Hong Chengchou, and cousin Zuo Maotai took turns to persuade him to surrender, and Zuo Maodi severely reprimanded him, and then he was tortured and thrown into a water prison for seven days, rotting to the bone, and still refusing to surrender! After being brutally murdered!

Zuo Maodi's unyielding majesty, wealth and nobility, unyielding loyalty, and unyielding national integrity, as well as his unyielding loyalty to the country and the people, have been praised by future generations.

And Chen Hongfan is lurking back to Nanming again and continues to be the biggest traitor in Daming!

Chen Hongfan returned to Nanjing, spreading a "peaceful" atmosphere and paralyzing Hongguang monarchs and ministers;

On the one hand, he secretly played "Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo are both Yin and Tartar", which was intended to provoke the suspicion of Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo in the imperial court, so that he could take the opportunity to act and win over Huang and Liu to defect to the Qing Dynasty.

After he returned to Jiangnan, he wrote an article called "Northern Envoy Ji Luo", Tian shamelessly proclaimed his loyalty to the Ming court, but behind his back, he spread everywhere that the Qing army was in danger of the enemy, and persuaded people to surrender as soon as possible, and was called "living Qin Hui".

In the first year of Hongguang (1645), the Qing army went south, Nanjing fell, Huang Degong committed suicide in defeat, and Emperor Hongguang was captured.

On the eighth day of the first month of June, Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, was supported in Hangzhou and put on the throne.

After Zhu Changshu took office as a prisoner, he sent Chen Hongfan, a "peace messenger," to make peace with the Qing army.

Chen Hongfan, the "living Qin juniper," took a ship flying the banner of "envoy to the Qing Dynasty" this time to secretly discuss with the Qing side about betraying the country.

He colluded with Bo Luo, the commander of the Qing army, and returned to Hangzhou to persuade Zhu Changshu to surrender with Zhang Bingzhen, the secretary of the military department.

Zhu Changshu was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he decided to surrender to the table. The Qing army occupied Hangzhou without much effort, and the number one traitor, Chen Hongfan, completed his task and officially surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, Huang Xiao will not write these into the charter, but make it clear that Chen Hongfan is a person who must be killed!

Soon, Liu Erniu asked about the situation.

Return to Chen Jiawu's ears!

The person who was tortured was indeed Zhang Xianzhong, who was named by Huang Xiao!

Because he refused to accept the official deduction of military salary, he took the lead in making trouble, and he should be beheaded according to the law!

was saved by Chen Hongfan!

History is really wonderful, the biggest traitor of the Ming Dynasty saved one of the best thieves in the Ming Dynasty!

If Chen Hongfan did not save Zhang Xianzhong at this moment, would the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty change?

Now that Chen Jiawu has come over with Huang Xiao's instructions, what will happen?

There are really countless possibilities for things in the future, and Huang Xiao was also emotionally moved when he wrote these at that time.

General soldier Wang Wei, staff general Chen Hongfan, and other generals heard the news and came to pay a visit.

The entourage read the decree.

Chen Jiawu said loudly: "This general, Chen Jiawu, by the order of Niangniangyi, came to take over Yansui Town, took over Yansui Town, and became the governor of Yansui Town, in charge of all military and civilian affairs!" Wang Wei, the former chief soldier of Yansui Town, was demoted to deputy chief soldier and worked with the general! Yu will temporarily remove his armor, and after Ben will find out the affairs of Yansui Town, he will make a decision! ”

The officers and soldiers of Yansui Town were stunned!

This Governor Chen is so young!

This decree is so powerful!

There was only one left, Wang Wei, the chief soldier!

Liu Erniu and the others listened to the order and quickly surrounded Chen Hongfan and other generals! Imprisoned on the spot!

"Deputy Chief Wang! Gather troops immediately, and the governor will give a lecture! ”

Wang Wei obeyed the order.

The total strength of Yansui Town was more than 25,000 in the Yongle year, about 50,000 in the year of the Apocalypse, and about 45,000 in the Chongzhen period at the end of the Ming Dynasty!

In addition to the soldiers and horses of the forts in the town, there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Yulin City.

Half an hour later, the 20,000 soldiers and horses were barely assembled.
