Chapter 16 Chapter 47 Abandoning Yongping and Amin Fleeing to Father and Son
The secret book of Xianyou Palace contains: In May of the fourth year of Tiancong, Ming Sun Chengzong led the army to recover, first conquered Luanzhou, and then attacked Yongping.Because of excessive indulgence, Amin was unable to fight, so he ordered a plunder, slaughtered all the people in the city and all the officials, and abandoned the city and fled back.The superior and all the Baylors were very angry. They decided to convict him, and they were banned by high walls and never used.One of the three Buddhas has gone.
Shuo Tuo rushed to A Min's place, and his soldiers stopped him: "Second Da Baylor has an order, no one will be seen today."
Shuo Tuo was furious: "Bastard, get out of the way! The military situation is urgent, if you miss the fighter plane, see if I don't peel your skin."
But the soldiers said: "Please forgive me, Lord Baylor. If we ask you to go in, the second eldest Baylor will have to skin us." As they spoke, the four of them stood in a row.Shuo Tuo wanted to push them away, but the soldiers were so strong that Shuo Tuo couldn't push them away.He was so angry that he was grinding in the courtyard.After waiting for about a moment, Shuotuo couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted desperately into the room: "Uncle Amin, 20,000 Ming troops have been found in the west of the city, and Sun Chengzong is leading an army of 20,000 to attack Luanzhou City. The Hongyi Cannon was launched, and the offensive was extremely fierce, so Namthai sent people to request immediate reinforcements."
In broad daylight, Amin was sleeping with Hu Ye in his arms. Hu Ye heard someone screaming hoarsely, which seemed to be Shuo Tuo's voice, and gently pushed Amin awake: "Master, someone is calling outside. "
As soon as the soldiers heard that there was a real military situation, they stepped aside, and Shuo Tuo rushed in.Amin opened his eyes slightly: "Who is it? Ben Bayle is sleeping soundly, why are you running here to make a fuss?"
Shuo Tuo shouted again outside the door: "Sun Chengzong led the army to attack Luanzhou City."
This cry is okay, Amin broke out in a cold sweat immediately, he got up, put on his shoes, and walked out the door.Suddenly, he felt dizzy and almost fell.It turned out that he and Hu Ye had been tangled together day and night for the past few days, relying on the old ginseng brought from Shenyang, sleeping after the battle, waking up to fight again, a god-sent beauty, extremely happy, yesterday and now until now, I don’t know the plum blossom After driving a few degrees, Leng Ding stood up and felt top-heavy and in a trance. When he came to the outer room, his body was still shaking, his speech was intermittent, and his tongue was a little uncontrollable.
Shuo Tuo almost didn't cry out: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how did Uncle A Min look like this? No wonder people say that sex is a bone-scraping knife. If you want to go on like this, it doesn't take much. After a month or so, Ah Uncle Min is in the hands of this little aunt."
Amin spoke incoherently: "Shuotuo... no, my nephew, Sun Chengzong attacked the city? Then hurry... hurry up and defend the city."
Shuo Tuo was so angry that he jumped up: a dignified second-ranked Baylor of the Great Jin Kingdom, neglecting government affairs and indulge in women's sex, it's too shameful.But he knew that Amin was eccentric and moody, so he didn't dare to offend him, so he had to tell the situation again.
Amin became more sober: "Nephew, how do you think we should meet the enemy?"
"My nephew leads five thousand troops to break the siege of Luanzhou. My uncle can lead his troops to fight against the Ming army west of the city. They must not be allowed to approach the city."
"Why?"
"Defending the city is our army's weakness, and field warfare is our strength. The closer we are to the enemy, the more we can give full play to our advantages, and their cannons will not be able to exert their power."
A Min nodded in praise and said: "My nephew is right, then according to what my nephew said, you can quickly go to Luanzhou for reinforcements."
When the two were about to split up, people from Qian'an and Zunhua also reported that the Ming army had been found near the two cities.After all, Amin had battled for a long time, he understood that Sun Chengzong adopted the strategy of cutting and containing, and the main battlefield was in Luanzhou.In the past, he would be able to go into battle immediately, and he only needed to bring three thousand cavalry, and he would be able to smash the Ming army to pieces, but now he has no strength at all, and he regrets the absurdity of the past few days, but now What's the use of regretting?
Not far from the city with his men and horses, Shuo Tuo saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him, as if a large group of people were coming. He hurriedly stopped the horses: "The Ming army came so fast." He immediately ordered the army to form a column, and there should be distance, move forward slowly.Shuotuo was very shrewd. If he still formed a phalanx as before, when the enemy's red cannons fired, they would bloom in the middle, and there would be many casualties. But if they formed a column, even if there were casualties, they would not form a large formation.
The two sides gradually approached, and Shuo Tuo found that it was not the Ming army, but his own people.It turned out that Turge and Namtai had lost Luanzhou, and came to Yongcheng with their defeated soldiers.
Shuo Tuo saw that Luanzhou had been lost, so how could he save him?Let's talk when we get back to the city.
Amin was still in the city, and the sentry sent by him came back to report that the Ming army from the west had set up camp twenty or thirty miles away from the city.He figured out how to attack, but didn't leave the city right away.Seeing Shuo Tuo return now, Namtai and Turge were shocked when they lost Luanzhou.
Namutai said: "Second Baylor, the Ming army is coming very strongly this time. There are more than 20 Hongyi cannons. After surrounding the city, there was a burst of shelling. The gate tower and the city gate were all blown up. God. Taking advantage of the panic in the city, they began to attack the city. The Ming army had 20,000 to 30,000 people, and we were outnumbered by only 5,000. With some Han people in the city as internal support, we defended desperately for a day, but the Ming army broke through the south gate, so we had to abandon the city And escaped, please punish the second big Baylor."
"Whether the crime will be punished or not, let's talk about it when we go back. You should first count the people and horses."
After counting, more than 600 of the 5,000 troops in Luanzhou were killed, more than 2,000 were injured, and more than half of them were injured or killed.Amin pondered: "If the fight continues like this, the 30,000 soldiers and horses will have to be lost. No, you can't fight recklessly." He discussed with Shuo Tuo, Turge, and Namthai: "Now, the four cities in the pass have been lost. In one city, the Ming army is going to use all of its forces in the capital to deal with us this time, dividing and encircling us, if we hold on, the entire army may be wiped out, what do you think we should do now?"
The three of them realized that Amin wanted to withdraw the army, this matter is no small matter, who can afford to pursue it in the future?So they didn't dare to express their views, and Shuo Tuo didn't want to withdraw at all.He said bluntly: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover. Sun Chengzong is an old man, why should we be afraid? If he comes to attack Yongping, we will go around behind him and attack Luanzhou. We will catch him by surprise. He will definitely When the soldiers return to save Luanzhou, then we, like King Khan, will encircle and fight for reinforcements, and wipe out the old man at the city of Luanzhou."
"How lightly you said it. Sun Chengzong is familiar with the art of war. Xianhan respects him three points. Now that we have few soldiers, how can we deal with him? Maybe it will break if we let him surround the spot for reinforcements instead."
Shuotuo said: "Yongping is hard to come by. The King Khan wants to be the same as the tree here. Now we give up easily. How will we explain to the King Khan when we go back?"
Amin's face was gloomy: "For generals to judge the situation and adapt to the situation, there are nearly 800,000 Ming troops in the capital area. There is a huge gap between the enemy and the enemy. How can the Southern Dynasty tolerate us installing these four nails at the door of its house for a long time? If we Unexpectedly, raids, plunder, and sneak attacks may be able to win a few battles, but if you do something here, I think the time is not yet ripe. If you withdraw your troops now, you can still return with the whole army. If the army is eaten up, it will be even more difficult to explain."
Shuotuo thought to himself: You are nothing more than emptying your body and not daring to face the enemy.Back then, how did you boast in front of King Khan?But how dare he say that, he glanced at Turg, but Turg avoided his gaze, it seemed that Turg was also afraid.
Amin said: "You don't need to look, Turge's courage is not inferior to you, Turge, tell me, what should we do?"
"The last general thinks that the second big Baylor's analysis is reasonable. The Ming army is coming fiercely. We should avoid its edge and not fight recklessly." Turge is the eighth son of Eyidu, the five tiger generals. He is extremely powerful and good at using troops.Namtai also followed suit, and Shuo Tuo was isolated and helpless, so it was difficult to argue further.
A Min said: "If you want to retreat, do so as soon as possible, don't wait for others to surround you before rushing out."
None of the three objected to this.
Amin made up his mind: "Pass my order, prepare to retreat immediately, and withdraw from Yongping City before sunset."
He withdrew as he was unwilling: this time he entered the customs and traveled for more than 20 days, the soldiers could not go back empty-handed.Huang Taiji can return home with full rewards, why can't I.To rob, to rob him completely.He said viciously: "We can't take advantage of old Sun Chengzong, we want to leave him an empty city." The implication is to repeat the scene in North Korea, that is, to plunder.
Shuo Tuo and others had been scolded by Huang Taiji for this matter, and he immediately retorted: "No, no, absolutely not. What King Khan objects most is robbing the people. How can we destroy our own example?"
"What kind of bird eggs are you talking about, what kind of boards are you building? Don't King Khan and the others all return with full rewards? Where did those things come from? To put it bluntly, aren't they all stolen?"
"It is true that it was snatched, but it was snatched from the Southern Dynasty government, and the nature is different."
"What's the difference? Those who rob the officials, and then the officials force the people, will eventually rob the people."
"That's quite different. The people will hate whoever robs the people. This is the wisdom of King Khan."
What Amin hated the most was when others stood in front of him, one Khan on the left and the other on the right. In a fit of anger, he said what was in his heart: "You only think about how to explain to the Khan, but you don't think about how your brothers will explain to their family members. Let's not talk big words, empty words, or beautiful words. The soldiers came out to fight with me, not to drink the northwest wind. The soldiers of the Southern Dynasties have military pay, do we have it? How do you tell our soldiers to live?"
He ordered again, with a very firm tone: "Leave Sun Chengzong an empty city, and those who resist will be killed." The soldiers responded happily: "Please do it!" and walked out.
Shuotuo stretched his arms across: "Uncle Amin, King Khan has repeatedly enjoined to love and submit to the officials and people, and to be a model, so as to shake the hearts and minds of the people in the Southern Dynasty. If you rob, King Khan's efforts will be wasted."
Amin was furious: "Aren't you afraid of shaking the hearts of my soldiers? Get out of the way and grab it for me." He finally burst out the word "robbed".
Shuo Tuo saw that A Min's face was livid and fierce, and he didn't dare to stop him forcefully. He fell to his knees and cried and said, "Uncle A Min, our robbing will cause endless troubles. If we attack the city in the future, we will definitely pay for it." Great price."
Amin smiled and said: "You really thought we could destroy the Southern Dynasty, don't dream, now you see, the Southern Dynasty is very powerful, we just robbed it a few times. My silly nephew, don't It's crazy."
When Shuo Tuo knelt down, the guards had gone around, but Shuo Tuo had no choice but to beat the ground with both hands and burst into tears.
A catastrophe began.
The people in the city were unaware of the golden soldiers, but in an instant, these smiling golden soldiers turned into devils. They held steel knives and searched from house to house.The people were stunned, what happened?Mutiny happened?Or a small group of golden soldiers messing around?No, it's not like, the whole city is full of howling ghosts and howling wolves. Some men resisted and were killed immediately.After some Jin soldiers entered the house, when they saw women, no matter how old or young they were, they would pull them over and rape them.The men couldn't bear it anymore, and they took up kitchen knives and wooden sticks to fight the golden soldiers desperately.Some golden soldiers were already bloodthirsty, but now they are like wolves who smell blood, slashing and killing people when they meet.For more than an hour, Yongping really became an empty city.
Bai Yangcui didn't know where to go, and ran to the door to inquire, Amin angrily scolded: "Bai Yangcui, you are so bold, you dare to prevaricate Ben Bayle with Hu Ye, do you know the crime?"
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Bai Yangcui knelt down and begged for mercy: "It was all my wife's idea, and it was not my business. I only found out later."
"You still don't tell the truth when you are about to die." Amin pulled out his waist knife and cut it in half with one knife.Bai Yangcui has not yet figured out why Jin Bing washed the city, and his decapitated body is already in a different place.
Amin immediately led people to Baiyangcui Mansion and went straight to Miss Yulian.Yulian yelled for help, Amin smiled lewdly and said, "Ben Baylor is here to save your life today." He went up and grabbed Yulian and threw it on the bed.When the petite jade body was exposed in front of Amin's eyes, Amin said: "Sure enough, she is a woman from an official family, and she is different from Hu Ye." Bian said: "Fake jade lotus, which has been sleeping for several days, finally tasted the real thing today."
The soldiers saw that Lord Baylor was trying something new, and each of them was swollen. Mrs. Bai was only in her thirties, and she had the charm of a middle-aged woman. Several soldiers rushed forward and pressed Mrs. Bai on the bed. ...
After a brutal attack, Amin and his soldiers left, leaving behind his naked wife and daughter.Mrs. Bai struggled to get up and put on her clothes. The family members reported that the master had been killed by Jin Bing.Mrs. Bai's eyes were dull, her hair was disheveled, and her spirit had already collapsed. After her family left, she hung a three-foot white silk on the beam and went with Governor Bai.With the help of a young male servant, Xiao Yulian escaped from the city, concealed her identity, followed the male servant, and fled to the countryside.
As soon as Amin started to indulge in Yongping, Shuo Tuo sent a fast horse to report the situation to Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji summoned Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai to discuss: "Amin committed another mistake in North Korea. Brothers, what do you think should be done?"
Daishan was very angry: "If Amin is in this state, how can there be any model of thinking tree, and he should be transferred back quickly to prevent Yongping from making mistakes."
Huang Taiji said: "It seems that I am going to go to the pass in person."
Huang Taiji finished handling some government affairs at hand, left Daishan and Manggu Ertai to supervise the country, and personally led 20,000 elite soldiers to reinforce Yongping.However, before departure, news of Yongping's defeat arrived.In the letter, Shuo Tuo explained the process of Amin's plundering and massacre of the city, killing Bai Yangcui one by one.Huang Taiji was shocked when he saw it. He couldn't believe his eyes. He read it several times and asked the soldier who delivered the letter.The soldier's account is completely consistent with what Shuoto said, and in some places, it is more detailed than the description in Shuoto's letter.Huang Taiji scolded: "Defeated country, prodigal family, scum! Our hard work is in vain. Those who don't surrender will be killed, and those who surrender will still be killed. Who will surrender in the future? If it is clarified again, I am afraid that the people who hoe in the field will do the same." Join forces with the Ming army and fight us to the death."
Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai and all Baylor were also shocked, Yue Tuo said: "Uncle A Min corrupted military discipline and ruined my reputation in the Eight Banners, this is an unforgivable crime."
Jierhalang also felt that his elder brother was really ridiculous. In order to avoid suspicion, he expressed his position: "Second elder brother has no military discipline. Last time in North Korea, King Khan didn't go into it. How can he forgive him this time?"
Daishan was a little puzzled: "Why does this Amin always disagree with us? Always against us?"
Sahalian said: "If we don't punish severely this time, we won't be able to explain to the Mongolian ministries."
Huang Taiji felt very painful: "This time, during the journey to Ming Dynasty, Boon Shide, the people of the Southern Dynasty already knew us, telling Amin to kill and rob like this, all previous efforts have been wasted. The Southern Dynasty will definitely make a big fuss based on this, Amin is more than just The sin cannot be pardoned, but the heinous, the unpardonable."
Huang Taiji sighed and said: "The reason why Amin is always against us is because he has resentment in his heart. Both he and the third uncle are people with no ambitions and narrow minds. It is true that we Jurchen are old and vulgar and have things to share, but That is in terms of things, but not in the country. The third uncle and Xian Khan joined forces. After their careers were successful, they thought that half of the family would be divided equally. Just imagine, if there were two Khan kings in Jianzhou, what would the people of the country do? At that time , if Uncle Ren splits, we will soon be wiped out by Li Chengliang. Therefore, Xianhan made up his mind to solve the hidden danger of Uncle Ren's split. Brother Amin has always been resentful about this. When Xianhan passed away, he gave I wrote a note that if I promised him to go to Heichamu with the inlaid blue flag, I would support me as the new Khan, but I rejected him at that time. Soon after I ascended the throne, he would quietly move troops to Heichamu, and was caught by the second brother After discovering it, stop it in time. When conquering North Korea, he wooed Du Du and wanted to become a Khan on his own. After being persuaded by Yue Tuo, Fuxi Erfu, Jierhalang, etc., he returned to the country. Now he is stationed in Yongping, greedy for women , ignoring government affairs, the Ming army came to invade, and he abandoned the city and fled without even seeing the shadow of the Ming army. What is even more intolerable is that he dared to disregard my repeated instructions, massacre the surrendered people, and regard the country's law and military law as a Children's play. There are only three things, Amin has committed many crimes, and there are countless crimes, you all say, what should Amin do?"
All Baylor said in unison: "Amin's crime should be punished."
Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai didn't say a word, Huang Taiji could only ask: "What do you two brothers think?"
Daishan looked at Mang Gurtai, and Mang Gurtai said: "King Khan, Amin's crime is indeed to be punished, but Khan has something to say, no matter what crimes committed by the lineage of my clan, they cannot be punished with a knife or a saw." , I think it can be banned by a high wall."
Huang Taiji showed a wry smile: "San Shu was imprisoned first, and Amin was imprisoned by me. The father and son both ended up in the same fate. Cough! According to what Fifth Brother said, the high-walled encirclement will never be used. Leave it to He has eight manors, twenty slaves, five hundred sheep, and twenty cattle. The rest of the property belongs to Jierhalang. Yuetuo, Sahalian, and Azig, take your guards and go out of the city, stop Amin, and go out on the spot. Arrest him, I don't want to see him."
Because Daishan didn't express his position just now, he was afraid that Huang Taiji would be overwhelmed, so he took the initiative to apply: "I'd better go, maybe it will be smoother."
Huang Taiji said: "Then there is Brother Lao."
Although Amin fled back, he also gained a lot. All the soldiers were packed and traveled very slowly.Sun Chengzong was worried that there would be an ambush, and the poor should not pursue him. If he didn't follow up, otherwise Amin would be defeated.
After traveling for nearly a month, he finally saw Shenyang. He never expected that King Khan would punish him. The last time he was in North Korea, didn't he also plunder for three days?Who dares to do anything to me?However, this time he miscalculated.
Less than fifteen miles away from Shenyang, Dai Shan led Yue Tuo, Dorgon and a dozen Baylors to the front.He stroked his sparse mustache: "Why didn't Huang Taiji come to pick me up, is he in the back?"
When Dai Shan and Yue Tuo got close, he found that the atmosphere was not right, he saw that all the Baylors were sullen and angry, and after getting off their horses, more than 80 guards including Aobai and Zheng Huang Xianghuang surrounded A Min Suddenly, Amin was taken aback: "What are you going to do?"
Dai Shan sternly said: "Amin listen to the order." Amin looked around, all the guards of Baylor were holding their knives and glaring at him, he realized that a catastrophe was imminent.
Daishan announced the sixteen crimes against Amin drafted by the university scholar Xifu. The last sentence is to send him to the high wall to be banned and will never be used.A Min knelt on the ground and listened, sweating all over his body, he subconsciously looked back at his beloved generals, all lowered their heads, avoiding his gaze.Seeing that the general situation was over, Amin laughed wildly: "Okay, high walls imprison me, follow Ama's old way, look at us two. Haha, haha, second brother, I am imprisoned today, who will be in charge tomorrow? It's Er Brother, or fifth brother?"
Seeing his nonsense, Dai Shan immediately ordered: "Take him back!"
The Jin soldiers withdrew from the siege, Sun Chengzong recovered the four cities of Yongping, and the capital quickly returned to calm.After learning from the painful experience, people traced back to the source and shifted the responsibility to Yuan Chonghuan.From the common people to the officials, they all believed that Yuan Chonghuan violated the holy will and colluded with the Jurchens in private to allow the enemy to enter Beijing.In the hearts of the people, Yuan Chonghuan became a traitor ten times and a hundred times worse than Qin Hui.However, the one who hated Yuan Chonghuan the most was not the common people, nor officials at all levels, but the Emperor Chongzhen. In front of the officials, whenever Yuan Chonghuan was mentioned, he would grit his teeth with hatred.
The public opinion in the capital and the attitude of the Holy Majesty spread to Ningyuan. Zu Dashou and He Kegang felt that something was wrong, and they set off with She Mingde to Shanhaiguan to ask Sun Chengzong.Seeing such three important figures visiting together, Sun Chengzong knew that it was for Yuan Chonghuan's business, so he immediately put down his military affairs and met with the three.When the three of them saw the old man, they knelt down and worshiped, and wept loudly at the same time.She Mingde cried even more sadly, and he said while crying: "Yuan Dutang has always regarded the boss as a teacher, and always regards the boss as a model. Since he was ordered, first the Ningyuan victory, Nurhachi was injured, and Nurhachi died of a carbuncle." Then came the great victory of Jinning, which killed Jueluo Baisan, the general of the slave chieftain. Huang Taiji hated Yuan Dutang deeply, and tried every means to get rid of Yuan Dutang. They are using countermeasures now, and we cannot be fooled. The three of them are willing to guarantee the lives of Xiangshang and the whole family. Yuan Dutang will never collude with the Jurchens. Now the only one who can save Dutang is Mr. Ge. Please stand up for the country and the people of Liaodong. , In this way, the country is very fortunate, and the Liaodong army and people are very fortunate." After She Mingde finished speaking, he kowtowed more than ten times, and his blood soaked the blue bricks on the ground.
Sun Chengzong repeatedly helped the three of them to stand up. Sun Chengzong said: "I feel the same as you. I have begged the Holy One on this matter, but the Holy Majesty hates Yuan Chonghuan to the bone. Even if the old man speaks again, it may not help."
Zu Dashou and He Kegang said in unison: "If Master Ge doesn't show up again, Yuan Dutang will really die."
Seeing this, Sun Chengzong sighed: "The old man has been troubled by this matter for the past few days. The old man is already dying, how much can he support? If Chonghuan is in trouble, the Liao matter will be even more unbearable. Anyway, the old man will show his old face , go to the capital in person, and face the Holy Spirit directly.”
The three of them were overjoyed, thinking that as long as Mr. Sun Ge came forward, Yuan Dutang would be safe.They kowtowed and thanked again and again and left.
On the seventh day of July in the second year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen and his teacher Sun Chengzong met on the platform of Zhongji Hall. Chongzhen was very satisfied with the extraordinary performance of the teacher's appointment in danger. He personally served tea for the teacher: "Mr. , sir please."
Sun Chengzong was so moved that he burst into tears: "The old minister returned to Beijing from Shanhaiguan, and there is something important to do."
"Mr. is the master of everything. I will do everything according to Mr.'s wishes."
"The old minister came here for the matter of Yuan Chonghuan, please let the old minister have a word."
Chongzhen's face immediately changed: "It's such a good night, why mention him?"
Sun Chengzong knelt down: "The veteran and Yuan Chonghuan have known each other for many years. He is loyal to the court, courageous and insightful, and has extraordinary talents. The only general in the court, he has defeated the slaves several times, and his achievements are enough to cover up. He is very old, and has been exhausted for the past few days. Such a heavy military task is beyond the ability of an old minister. Only Yuan Chonghuaner, who is competent for Liao affairs, please forgive me and allow him to make meritorious service and atone for his sins."
Chongzhen sneered and said: "Loyalty? We were all deceived by him."
Sun Chengzong was puzzled: "Cheated by him?"
Chongzhen said: "Tell Eunuch Yang."
At this time, Eunuch Yang has been promoted from Yumajian to Silijian, and now he is standing beside the platform.Hearing the sage's message, he immediately came before him.
"Sir, I have never told anyone about this matter. Let me let you understand what Yuan Chonghuan is today."
He said to Eunuch Yang: "Tell Master Sun about what you saw and heard that day."
Sun Chengzong listened to Eunuch Yang's narration, and thought for a long time: "This is an obvious countermeasure, and Eunuch Yang is Jiang Gan. With the talent of the Holy One, it is impossible not to see the fraud, but why does the Holy One believe so deeply?"
Chongzhen saw that Sun Chengzong was silent, so he said: "Do you think that I have fallen into Huang Taiji's trick?"
Sun Chengzong's heart was shocked: "The old minister dare not, the old minister is just thinking that there must be a reason why the Holy Majesty believes in Eunuch Yang's words, and please ask the Holy Majesty to express it clearly, so as to solve the doubts in the old minister's mind."
"Sir, do you know about Shang Fang's sword punishment and what kind of officials?"
"In the army, you can be punished and at the rank of general soldier."
"Then what level is Mao Wenlong?"
"The official salutes Zuo Dudu, Wu Yipin."
"For such a high-ranking official, Yuan Chonghuan will kill as soon as he says he wants to kill. Why is this? Yuan Chonghuan has always been very cautious, but why is he so reckless and abnormal in this matter? I think there is a ghost in it. He is afraid that Mao Wenlong will expose his secret relationship with the slave chief. The shameful act of collusion is the only way to dare to risk the disgrace of the world."
Yuan Chonghuan's actions in this matter were indeed inappropriate, and he couldn't bear to be questioned. Sun Chengzong said: "The Holy Majesty's doubts are justified. Yuan Chonghuan's abnormality is really puzzling."
Chongzhen went on to say: "As the governor of Jiliao, he was stationed in Ningyuan, and the slave chieftain led an army of 60,000 to leave the country. He didn't know anything. Can you believe it? Where did his spy work go? What should be the explanation for this? "
That's right, the 60,000 Tartars raided the capital, and Yuan Chonghuan didn't notice it after more than a month's journey. This is also a question that has been troubling Sun Chengzong for the past few days. The last time he was in the prison, Yuan Chonghuan's answer was unconvincing.To the Holy Majesty's question, Sun Chengzong nodded and did not express his opinion.
"Sir, Yuan Chonghuan is in charge of the military affairs of Jiliao. The Great Wall around Jizhou is so weakly defended that the Tartars broke through without any effort. What responsibility should he bear?"
The more Chongzhen talked, the more angry he became, and he simply stood up: "Since I came to the throne, I have been sleepy all day long, and I have worked hard to govern and aim at Zhongxing. People all over the world have high hopes for this dynasty. Yuan Chonghuan let the enemy enter Beijing, so that the capital almost fell, and I almost fell into my country. The land of eternal doom is forgivable, which one is forgivable? Yang Gao just lost a battle, and Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi just lost Guangning. Yuan Chonghuan lost more than 30 cities this time, which made the Tartars ravage In Gyeonggi, if such a serious crime is not severely punished, how can the country be ruled by the law and the army be powerful? And if Yang, Xiong, and Wang know about it, what will they think? How can their family members let it go?"
Sun Chengzong was forced to retreat step by step by the Holy Majesty's question, speechless, but no matter what Chongzhen said, he did not believe that Yuan Chonghuan would cooperate with the enemy.Chong Huan and the Tartars had the hatred of killing their fathers, and it was impossible to collude with them. Even if there were secret contacts, it was a strategy of the military strategists.It is the implementation of the strategy of "keep it upright and be strange" approved by the Holy Spirit.He could see that Yuan Chonghuan's greatest crime was to make the Holy Majesty lose face in front of the world, shatter his dream of rejuvenation, and ruin the image of the king of Yao and Shun.In terms of crime, Yuan Chonghuan is indeed more guilty than Yang, Xiong, and Wang, but at present the only Ming general who can compete with the Tartars is Chong Huan. If Chong Huan dies, what will Liaodong do?Count on the old man?I am dying.He wanted to protect Chonghuan, but he couldn't find a sufficient reason. He looked at the young and haggard face of the Holy Majesty, which was so pale that it seemed a bit hideous. Execution, he sighed in his heart: "The sage is young and full of vigor. He is completely impulsive. He is not the one who accepts advice. Chong Huan will give up. My words are useless, and if I do not do it, something will happen. It doesn't matter if the old man dies, let alone a foreign matter." Cleaned up."
So, after talking with Chongzhen about Ningjin's military affairs, he returned to Shanhaiguan the next day.
Zu, He, and She hoped to see through their eyes. When they heard that Sun Ge was coming back, they rushed to see him all night excitedly, but when they saw Sun Chengzong's sad face, they knew that their hopes were shattered.Sun Chengzong repeated the words of the Holy Majesty, and all three of them lowered their heads.Sun Chengzong sighed: "I'm getting old, and I'll rely on you for foreign affairs." At this time, he had made up his mind: he would retire and return to his hometown in a few days, otherwise, the old man might be the fifth Liaodong commander to be punished .
After bidding farewell to Sun Chengzong and coming out, Zu Dashou said: "Mr. Mingde, General He and I are busy with military affairs and cannot get away. Mr. Lao takes Chang Si'en and goes to Beijing quickly. We must prepare more silver and try our best to manage it. Don't let Dutang be around." Suffering in the sky prison. But there must be a glimmer of hope, and we must not give up. Up to now, we can only do this."
