0630, Zhu Yujian tragedy
Ruijin County, Changning County and Dingnan County are located in the east, southeast and south of Ganzhou City respectively, which are the barriers between Jiangxi and Fujian and Guangdong.
Peng Wuying suddenly issued an urgent order, asking Chige, Zhou Chang, and Liu Fangliang to urgently dispatch to recapture these three county towns within ten days.
Chige and Liu Fangliang are both the aftermath of a hundred battles, and they both have keen insights into the battlefield situation and have unique strategic vision.
There must be something wrong with Fujian, and it is about to threaten Jiangxi, this is the conclusion that Chige and Liu Fangliang came to at the same time.
Chige asked Chen Zhuo to inform the pro-military battalion to make preparations, and then said to Liu Fangliang: "General Zhongxin, I was originally going to give you three or five days to train the troops, but now it is no longer possible. How many of you can go out right now?"
Liu Fang nodded brightly: "After the Lord returns to Longhua Temple, he will send the rest of the people out." Those people were the elite of the old battalion of the Dashun Army, which originally had 36,000 cavalry. Along the way, there were losses one after another, and now there are only more than 13,000 people, and there are few war horses left. This time, with the addition of 3,000 war horses, there were more than 7,000 cavalry that could be dispatched. ”
Chige didn't talk nonsense: "We need to take three county towns in a row in ten days, and the roundabout route is more than 700 miles, and the infantry army will definitely not work." Then send out 6,000 cavalry, and the rest of the men will defend Nanfeng County. You go down at once and make arrangements, and set off at three o'clock in the afternoon. ”
Chige and Liu Fangliang are in a hurry here, in fact, Peng Wuying's emergency order is also helpless, and the danger of the situation is worse than the actual situation, this is a long story.
Tiger poison does not eat children, this is said to animals.
In many cases, man is inferior to an animal.
For example, when it comes to the power struggle in the officialdom, the son kills the father, the father kills the son, and the brothers kill each other, which is simply endless.
Zhu Yujian, the eldest grandson of Zhu Shuoxi, the Tang King of Nanyang, has had a bad fate since he was a child, and he can't see the slightest benefit of the nobles of the kings and grandsons.
Zhu Shuoxi acted perversely, because he liked the newly married concubine, and was ready to make the concubine's newborn son the son, and he poisoned his own son Zhu Qiqi and didn't stop, and even locked the eight-year-old eldest grandson Zhu Yujian with an iron chain on a grinding plate in the Chengfeng Division. Zhu Yujian can neither lie down nor sit, and can only squat all day long.
In order to rescue the people trapped in Funiu Mountain, when Prince Xiong heard about this when he passed through Nanyang City, he was angry and infiltrated the Chengfeng Division, destroyed the chain that locked Zhu Yujian, and killed the eunuch who abused Zhu Yujian.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide and martyrdom, and Zhu Yousong was proclaimed emperor by Ma Shiying in Nanjing, changed his name to Hongguang, and implemented amnesty. At the invitation of Guangchangbo Liu Liangzuo, Zhu Yujian, who was imprisoned in Fengyang, was also released and named the king of Nanyang.
The Nanjing Ministry of Rites asked Zhu Yujian to restore the former prince of the Tang Dynasty, but Zhu Yousong was worried that Zhu Yujian would threaten his position and did not approve it, and sent Zhu Yujian to Pingle Mansion (now Guilinnan) in Guangxi.
But Zhu Yujian had just come out of prison, not only sick, but also penniless. Zhu Yousong was a great hero, but he did not reward Zhu Yujian with a penny, and even if Zhu Yujian asked for food along the road, there was no way to walk from Nanjing to Guilin Mansion in Guangxi.
In May of the first year of Hongguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty (1645), Zhu Yujian finally scraped together enough money for the journey, but on the way to Pingle, he learned that the Manchu Tartars had broken through Nanjing as soon as he walked to Suzhou, so he went to Jiaxing for refuge. In June, Zhu Yujian came to Hangzhou.
Subsequently, Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, and Zhu Changqing, the king of Huai, surrendered to the Manchu Tartars successively, and Zhu Yujian had no way to hide on the spot, so he could only flee to Fujian, and was accused by Zheng Zhilong, the southern anbo.
Zheng Zhilong, whose name is Feihuang, is nicknamed Yiguan, and later helped the Dutch in maritime business.
This maritime business was that the Dutch equipped Zheng Zhilong with 30 Chinese-style sailing ships to intercept various merchant ships bound for Manila to trade with the Spaniards in the Taiwan Strait, and opened up the business of "interception and capture". In a word, the Dutch made Zheng Zhilong a pirate.
In the first year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong used Taiwan as a base and had 700 sailing ships, and finally formed his own power, and the Dutch fleet also became the object of his robbery. After that, it was a disaster, which spread to Fujian and Guangdong, making the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty exhausted.
At the end of the first year of Chongzhen, Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan recruited Zheng Zhilong again and gave preferential conditions, Zheng Zhilong led his pirate team to become a "Fujian coastal defense guerrilla general".
With the identity of an official army, Zheng Zhilong has become a genuine "official and bandit family".
Collecting taxes on land, Zheng Zhilong was the emperor of Fujian. Continuing to expand his piracy career in the sea, Zheng Zhilong's power has grown to Kyushu, Nagasaki, and Chiba Island.
After Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne, he canonized Zheng Zhilong as Nan'anbo, the general town of Fujian, and was responsible for the anti-Qing military affairs of Fujian Province.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the situation suddenly changed, and Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor, was captured by the Manchu Tartars.
Zhu Yujian, the king of Nanyang, suddenly came to Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed when he heard the news: "What kind of mess in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, in the final analysis, are all the same ball, isn't it just a matter of changing the master? Now that Zhu Yujian has run to Lao Tzu's territory, God really helps me! Cao Cao can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, why can't Lao Tzu?"
If you want to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, you must first make a Son of Heaven.
In the first year of Hongguang, in the leap month of June, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui, two brothers, supported Zhu Yujian in Fuzhou to proclaim himself emperor in Fuzhou, and announced that the name of Hongguang would be changed to the first year of Longwu from the beginning of July. Changed the Fujian political secretary to Fujing, changed the Fuzhou line to Tianxing Mansion, changed the political secretary to the palace, and built the bank in Taimiao, Sheji and Tang Guozong Temple.
Zhu Yujian knew that he didn't have half a penny on him, and he didn't have a single soldier under him. Now that he has become an emperor with a duck on the shelf, he naturally wants to be a meritorious hero, and I hope that the official will be able to establish his own team.
The great hero is naturally the Zheng family in Fujian.
So Zhu Yujian waved his pen and promoted Zheng Zhilong to the Marquis of Pingyu, Zheng Hongkui to the Marquis of Dinglu, and named Zheng Zhibao as Cheng Jibo and Zheng Cai as Yongshengbo. Among them, Zheng Zhilong was responsible for all military affairs of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
The Zheng family in Fujian has two marquis and two uncles, and notoriously holds the command of all the soldiers and horses in the Longwu court. The Zheng family was in power for a while, and Zheng Zhilong's political career reached its peak.
Although Zhu Yujian wanted to return to his hometown of Beijing, the Zheng family was a pirate leader, and the purpose was to make himself able to do business justifiably, so how could he let his pirate brothers go on a northern expedition?
At the same time, there was also a small court established by Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, in Shaoxing, which called itself "the prison state" and did not recognize the Longwu court of Zhu Yujian in Fujian at all.
When the family was ruined and the mountains and rivers were declining, the descendants of Zhu Di, who started the rebellion, inherited the rebellious factor. They did not think of uniting to expel the Tartars at all, but seized the opportunity to expand their strength, hoping that they would be able to ascend to the sky in one step.
After Emperor Zhu Yujian ascended the throne, he also hoped to make a difference and become a generation of "masters of Zhongxing". He put forward the idea of "eliminating party strife and sacrificing public knowledge" and stipulating that "small greed must be roded, and big greed must be killed".
At the same time, he also sent Liu Zhongzao as an envoy to Shaoxing to issue an edict to Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, announcing that the two families were indistinguishable from each other, and the courtiers appointed by the Lu Jianguo could hold the same official position in the Longwu court.
As for whether or not to recognize the legitimacy of the Longwu court, there was an uproar among the ministers of the Lu Jian State, with half in favor of reading the edict and half against it.
The stalemate between the two sides has developed into a war with each other, mobilizing troops to fight. So Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu, announced the Northern Expedition, and Zhu Yihai, the state of Lu Jianguo, sent troops to the east.
When the Manchu Tartar soldiers pressed the border, Zhu Yujian and Zhu Yihai began a four-month crusade against each other, which became incompatible enemies.
Shortly thereafter, the Manchu Tartars attacked Shaoxing, and Zhu Yihai found that his life was in danger, so he sent an envoy to Fuzhou to ask Zhu Yujian for reinforcements, which was the only time that King Lu and King Tang were able to abandon their previous suspicions and join forces against the enemy.
Although Zhu Yujian, a lonely man, has nothing at hand, the emperor's shelf is still full.
Because Zhu Yihai called Zhu Yujian "Uncle Huang" instead of "His Majesty", Zhu Yujian was furious and ordered to kill the messenger of King Lu.
The foreign enemy is in front of you, and your own flesh and blood are still killing each other, which is not a normal way of thinking.
The Manchu Tartars issued a more severe shaving order here, and the people of Jiading, Changzhou, and Hangzhou rose up to resist at the same time, and sent people to ask for help from Zhu Yujian, the emperor of Longwu.
At this point, Zhu Yujian still had some strategic vision, and almost without the slightest hesitation, he issued an edict to send troops to the Northern Expedition.
It's a pity that Zhu Yujian doesn't measure his strength, and he doesn't have the wisdom to know people.
All the military power is in the hands of the Zheng Zhilong brothers, and the purpose of their Zheng family is to raise troops and respect themselves, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and strive for greater interests for themselves, not to fight the world for the Zhu family.
Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian ordered Zheng Hongkui to go to Zhejiang to attack the Manchu Tartars, and respond to the rebel army on the front line of Jiading and Hangzhou. However, Zheng Hongkui did not leave Xianxia Pass not far away, so he did not continue to march on the grounds of waiting for supplies.
During the three-month anti-Qing uprising in Jiangnan, Zheng Zhilong did not send a single soldier.
At this critical juncture, Huang Daozhou, an old painter in his sixties and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites of the Longwu Imperial Court, stepped forward and returned to his hometown to raise troops and food after reprimanding the Zheng family father and son.
On September 19, the first year of Longwu (1645), the Zodiac Zhou recruited thousands of people, because there were no weapons, so they called themselves "Biandan Army". But they only had a dozen horses and a month's worth of food.
However, Huang Daozhou was determined to die, so he resolutely led his troops to set off, crossed the Xianxia Pass guarded by Zheng Chenggong, and entered the border of Fujian and Zhejiang to fight against the Manchu Tartars.
At the beginning of October, Huang Daozhou's troops arrived in Guangxin (now Shangrao), raised three months' rations by virtue of his status as "Fujian's first Confucian student", and then divided his troops into three routes to attack the Manchu Tartars. All the way to the west to attack Fuzhou (now Linchuan), all the way north to attack Wuyuan, all the way to Xiuning.
How could thousands of peasants wielding their poles be the opponents of the Manchu Tartars and Li Chengdong's traitors? In less than half a month, the Zodiac was defeated on Wednesday, and more than 6,000 people lost half of them.
On December 6, Huang Daozhou did not give up, but reorganized the remnants of the army and set off for Wuyuan. When I arrived at Tongjiafang, I learned that Leping had fallen.
On December 24, when they arrived in the territory of Mingtangli, the department of Huang Daozhou was ambushed by Li Chengdong's traitors. The only military general under Huang Daozhou, that is, the general Gao Wanrong, took the lead in escaping, so the whole army collapsed.
Zodiac Zhou was captured in a fiasco and finally died unyieldingly. made Zheng Zhilong realize that his pirate army was likely to be unable to resist Li Chengdong, let alone Aixin Jueluo Bolo.
It seems that the road of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is not easy to take, and if it is not done well, he will worry about his life, so after Zheng Zhilong planned it, he thought that Zhu Yujian, the Emperor of Longwu, could no longer be of great use, and at most he could let himself do the last business.
"If you sell Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian to Boluo, you should be able to sell it for a good price, right?" Zheng Zhilong said to his fifth brother Zheng Zhibao.
Zheng Zhibao pinched his fingers and quickly concluded: "Of course, after all, Zhu Yujian is also an emperor." The Manchu Tartars are determined to be in the world, and the price should be negotiable. ”
Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao decided to lead their henchmen from the north to the Qing Dynasty, but Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong resolutely opposed them.
Such a serious change happened around him, and Emperor Zhu Yujian of Longwu was still dreaming in the dark, wouldn't it hurt?
Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao secretly left the country to surrender to the Manchu Tartars, which led to a historical sinner and completely ruined the life of Zhu Yujian, the Emperor of Longwu.
