Chapter 189: Ming Dynasty: Destroying the 'Three Feudatories'
-- The book continues --
In January of the third year of Dashun Yongchang, Yuan Chonghuan joined Wang Weijun, and after thirteen days of fierce fighting, Tongguan was lost. Li Zicheng saw that the Ming army was attacked by six routes, and the fall of Shaanxi was a foregone conclusion, so he was forced to abandon Xi'an, pass through Lantian and Shangzhou, go to Wuguan, and retreat into Xiangyang.
It's a pity that Qin Liangyu waited for the marquis, and thousands of arrows were fired together, defeating the Dashun army and cutting off its eastward way. Li Zicheng saw that it was impossible to go east, so he turned around and marched to the southwest, Li Zicheng led a light horse to climb the mountain to explore the road, was killed by Jiang Dayan, and the body was handed over to Qin Liangyu who was chasing, after Li Zicheng died in battle, the rest of the Dashun army called Li Zicheng the first emperor, and his wife Gao was the queen mother, and Li Jin recommended Li Zicheng's third brother Li Zijing as the leader.
After Li Zijing succeeded to the throne, he was nowhere to be found, and he couldn't find it, and the Ming Rebellion left the 'three feudatories'.
However, because of the sudden death of Zhu and Tan, the army was temporarily stopped, and the funeral was held in Bei-Ping, and at the same time, the descendants of the prince Zhu Chubby were left with two female dolls, according to the meaning of Zhu and Tan, let the Han King Zhu Yihuan and the Zhao King Zhu Heliang, one of whom was the emperor.
In the end, it was Wang Weijun who had Zhu Yihuan young as a reason to let Zhu Heliang temporarily act as emperor.
Zhu Heliang successfully ascended the throne, changed the Yuan Dynasty to Wu, Dai Wu for five years, under Zhu Heliang's five years of efforts, the Ming Dynasty slowly regained its vitality, and Wu Sangui in January of the seventh year of the Dai Wu, actually in Hu-Nan-Heng-Zhou-called the emperor, the country name Zhou, changed the Yuan Zhaowu.
Zhu Heliang was furious, and at the same time, under Zhu Yihuan's praise, Zhu Heliang lived up to Yuan Chonghuan's obstruction and drove the expedition in person.
In the seventh year of Daiwu, in April (April of the first year of Zhaowu of the Great Zhou Dynasty), Zhu Heliang and Wu Sangui fought a decisive battle in Haizhou, and Wu Sangui caused trouble to the south, pretending to be defeated and let Zhu Heliang storm Guangzhou, capture the whole territory of Hu-Nan-Quan, and kill Shang Kexi, one of the 'three feudatories'.
Just when Zhu Heliang, who was confused, didn't know what was going on, Wu Sangui suddenly appeared and seriously injured Zhu Heliang and withdrew to Hengzhou.
After learning that Zhu Heliang was seriously injured and died, Zhu Yihuan immediately ascended the throne as emperor on the grounds of avenging his uncle, and asked Wang Weijun to lead 10,000 people to take Wu Sangui, while Yuan Chonghuan led an army of 100,000 to attack Geng Jingzhong.
After Geng Jingzhong found out, he immediately sent his henchmen to take over the prefectures of Yanping (now Nan-Ping), Shaowu, Funing (now Xia-Pu), Jianning, and Tingzhou (now Chang-Ting), and the army was very strong for a while.
It's a pity that the opponent is Yuan Chonghuan, and in less than 20 days, Geng Jingzhong, one of the 'three feudatories', was arrested and sent to Zhu Yihuan, who was ordered to be executed by Zhu Yihuan.
After eliminating Geng Jingzhong, Yuan Chonghuan immediately led a large army to support Wang Weijun and jointly eliminate Wu Sangui.
In the seventh year of Daiwu, in October, Yuan Chonghuan took Wu Sangui's son and concubine Chen Yuanyuan and handed it to Zhu Yihuan, and when Zhu Yihuan saw Chen Yuanyuan, he didn't care if he was much older than himself, and forcibly took possession of Chen Yuanyuan.
In the seventh year of Daiwu, in December, Zhu Yihuan officially ascended the throne and changed Yuan Tianwei, and at the same time, the sad thing is that Yuan Chonghuan still died in Chen Yuanyuan's mouth.
When Chen Yuanyuan knew that Yuan Chonghuan, a famous general of a generation, was killed because he said the wrong thing because of his ignorance, and hanged himself in the palace, Zhu Yihuan was furious and wanted to destroy Yuan Chonghuan's nine clans, but was stopped by Wang Weijun and his ministers.
However, Zhu Yihuan aimed his anger at Wang Weijun, a veteran of the Five Dynasties, and a plan slowly sprouted in Zhu Yihuan's heart.
In the second year of Tianwei, in August, Wu Sangui died of illness, and his grandson Wu Shifan succeeded him and retired to Yunnan.
Qin Minping led his troops into Yunnan from Shu, Guizhou, and Gui, and Wu Shifan, the second emperor of Wu Zhou, urgently ordered Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, and Ma Bao to move to block Qin Minping's army, but Qin Minping approached the provincial capital after killing Hu Guozhu and Ma Bao, and Wu Shifan transferred Xia Guoxiang and others to help. Wu Shifan adhered to Wuhua Mountain and resisted desperately.
Qin Minping besieged the main city without attacking, and for four months, the food in the city was not continued, the civil and military surrendered, Guo Zhuangtu and Wu Shifan killed themselves, and Wu Shifan's wife Empress Guo surrendered, so far the 'three feudatories' were completely wiped out.
Time is spent in a long recuperation......
In the ninth year of Tianwei, February Dragon raised his head, Wang Weijun had not been to the court for several years, Zhu Yihuan was very angry, and he came to Wang Weijun's Taifu Mansion with Jinyiwei on this day.
At this time, Wang Weijun was already in his forties, almost fifty!
"Wang Weijun, your old thing will come out quickly!" Zhu Yihuan entered the Taifu Mansion and scolded directly.
"Your Majesty!"
"What about Wang Weijun?"
"Father in the backyard."
"Hmph, lead the way."
"Yes!"
The two of them walked over and saw a person running out of the rolling belt inside, and Zhu Yihuan was stunned for a moment.
"Xu Feng?"
At this time, the fifty-four-year-old Xu Feng's clothes were covered with dust, and his face was full of tears, and he looked as miserable as he was.
Zhu Yihuan asked with a calm face with a trace of doubt, "What's the matter?" β
"The old man's illness is criminal, I can't persuade him, it's the villain's incompetence......"
Hearing this voice, Zhu Yihuan suddenly frowned.
"Eat? Sick? β
Zhu Yihuan walked into the backyard, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was immediately stunned, only to see Wang Weijun holding a scoop in his hand, eating in front of a wooden barrel.
Zhu Yihuan saw that the wooden barrel was filled with yellow things, this kind of appearance was packed in the wooden barrel, and Zhu Yihuan instantly made a conclusion about this thing in his mind, this thing is Xiang!
Seeing that Wang Weijun was eating deliciously there, and he also made his face and clothes full of these things, seeing this scene, the sour water in Zhu Yihuan's stomach surged up for a while, and he wanted to vomit.
At this time, Wang Weijun also raised his head in a timely manner, and then walked towards Zhu Yihuan with a scoop, letting Zhu Yihuan eat too, looking at Wang Weijun's movements, Zhu Yihuan was suddenly shocked and quickly retreated.
Zhu Yihuan couldn't bear it anymore and spit it out, Zhu Yihuan's face suddenly changed, and he immediately drove back to the palace!
Seeing that Zhu Yihuan had run away, how could Jinyiwei dare to stay, and immediately followed Zhu Yihuan out, of course Wang Weijun would not let them go so easily, so the moment they turned around, Wang Weijun immediately chased after him with a bucket.
Seeing him catching up, Zhu Yihuan didn't care about being reserved and began to run.
Wang Weijun glanced at Xu Feng, and Xu Feng immediately closed the door.
"Master, none of them have run away!"
"Haha, I guess this time it's enough for them to digest it for a while!"
After speaking, Wang Weijun laughed and said: "Zhen Mi, Sun Shangxiang, prepare hot water, master, I want to bathe!" β
"Master, this sweet noodle sauce ......," Xu Feng asked.
"I've rewarded you!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Regarding the incident of Wang Weijun falling ill and not going to the court, the final result is that all the ministers are watching this incident and at the same time considering their own side.
Zhu Yihuan did not deal with Wang Weijun, but Zhu Yihuan still announced this matter, that is, Wang Weijun was more 'sick', and it was no longer suitable to continue to hold the positions of Taishi and Taifu.
In the afternoon of the same day, everything in the Taifu Mansion had been cleaned up, the family, servants, and sundries, pulled a full twenty taels of carriages, and the convoy went out of Beiping-Cheng, heading towards Yang-Zhou, and Wang Weijun also started a retirement life.
After returning to Yang-Zhou, Wang Weijun's life was dull again, this afternoon, after Wang Weijun's nap, he heard his daughter's cry, he heard it, and immediately shouted: "Baby girl, who messed with you?" Tell Daddy, see if Daddy doesn't castrate him! β
"Hmph, it's the concubine who provoked her, what are you going to do?" Qin Liangyu glared at Wang Weijun.
