Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Miracle

At this time, Gao Yingxiang had already arrived in Shaanxi. The reason why he came to Shaanxi was because Shaanxi was relatively easy to mess with at this time. Although Hong Chengchou has always been in Shaanxi, and his Hong Bing is quite powerful, he is currently dealing with another old enemy Li Zicheng in northern Shaanxi.I don't know whether it was Li Zicheng who asked him to help, or because he heard that the governor of Shaanxi was relatively soft, but Gao Yingxiang came here without hesitation, one way. Since ancient times, from bottom to top, if you want to enter Shaanxi, you must first pass through Hanzhong. Therefore, when Liu Bei occupied Sichuan and wanted to attack Cao Cao's Chang'an, he must occupy Hanzhong. After that, Zhuge Liang's six Northern Expeditions all passed through Hanzhong and left Qishan to fight.

Gao Yingxiang was no exception, but on the way to Hanzhong, a team blocked him. The leader of this team is Sun Chuanting. Gao Yingxiang was not familiar with Sun Chuanting, and he didn't care about it. Moreover, this team only had ten thousand people, so it seemed that it was not difficult to fight. He immediately led the army to attack, fought several times, and lost thousands of people, but he was not moved. The troops had an advantage, but Gao Yingxiang's years of combat experience told Gao Yingxiang that this was a relatively evil army and could no longer fight, so he decided to take a detour.

His intuition was very correct. The army guarding Hanzhong, with only ten thousand troops, had a special name in history-Qin Army. As I said before, in the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Guanning Iron Cavalry had the strongest combat effectiveness, the Tianxiong Army ranked third, and the Qin Army ranked second. Guan Ning's iron cavalry is strong because of its maneuverability, Tianxiong's army is good at fighting because of unity, and the combat effectiveness of Qin's soldiers is because of their personality. I once checked the materials of the Ministry of War in the Ming Dynasty, and was surprised to find that most of the main force of the Qin soldiers came from the same place-Yulin, Shaanxi.

Yulin is a very strange place. It is said that every time there is a war, there is no need to mobilize at all, just shout two voices, no matter men, women, old or young, they can just pick up the guys, and cut them at any time, no nonsense. Because there are only soldiers here, not civilians. Yulin, one of the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, has not been farming much since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the traditional occupation is to be a soldier.Usually the neighbors chat with each other, and what they talk about is not how much land they planted or how much food they harvested this year, but what places were hit and how many heads were beheaded (charged by head).After hundreds of years, a unique personality has been formed. The specific performance is that when attacking, even if there is only one, they dare to charge, and when retreating, even if there is only one left, they will not surrender.

And the people here are quite related to the militia.I heard that the militiamen were coming, even if they were just passing by, they were extremely excited. They rushed out and fought. Men, women, old and young all went into battle. It is estimated that there were many soldiers. Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li died in the hands of the militia last time. Shouting a voice can mobilize a group of relatives. Later, when Li Zicheng attacked Yulin, none of the people in the city, including aunts and uncles, surrendered. This county alone fought against Li Zicheng for eight days, which is really too tough.

Sun Chuanting's soldiers are roughly these people.So it's normal for Gao Yingxiang to have no choice. But Comrade Gao Yingxiang wanted to save face, he came here, and let me go back empty-handed?No matter what, break in. Sometimes people can't be too persistent. The persistent Gao Yingxiang finally thought of a way after deep thinking and searching in many ways. He found a hidden path. From this path, he could bypass Hanzhong and approach Xi'an. As long as the plan was successful, he would be able to conquer Xi'an and occupy Shaanxi in one fell swoop. More than a thousand years ago, two people were in almost the same place, in the same predicament, and they both found the way.One person said that if you attack from this place, you will surely win a big victory; another person said that if you lay an ambush here, your entire army will definitely be wiped out!

That's right, these two people, one is Zhuge Liang and the other is Wei Yan, and the path they discovered is called Ziwu Valley. As for the ending, people on Earth (people on Earth who have read "The Romance Says, Don't Take It Seriously, Just Look at It") know that Wei Yan wanted to fight, but Zhuge Liang refused to let him fight. In the end, Sima Yi jumped out and said, knowing that you dare not fight. Regarding this story, many people said that Zhuge Liang was too cautious, and if he followed Wei Yan's method, he would have already reached Chang'an (Wei Yan himself said the same).

In Gao Yingxiang's story, there is only Wei Yan, but no Zhuge Liang. So a thousand years later, in the same place, he made a different choice—to send troops to Meridian Valley. In July of the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), Gao Yingxiang led all the main forces and rushed into Ziwu Valley. From here, he will quickly reach Xi'an. But he didn't know that this road also leads to another place - hell. The reason why Ziwu Valley is a small road is because it is very small. To Gao Yingxiang, this sentence is definitely not nonsense. Due to the narrow road and heavy rain, his tens of thousands of troops walked for several days, and only halfway through.

But Gao Yingxiang was not discouraged, because he believed that this unexpected move would surely shock the world in a few days. Many people did not expect it, but Sun Chuanting was not among them. On July 16, after a hard march, Gao Yingxiang finally arrived at Heishuiyu. As long as he passed here, the road ahead would be smooth. Then, Gao Yingxiang, who was full of longing, saw Sun Chuanting, who was full of anger. The anger is understandable because he's been here, waiting for fifteen days. Sun Chuanting's military sense is extremely keen. From the moment Gao Yingxiang stopped attacking, he realized that this brother was going to play tricks.

And his only possible choice is Meridian Valley. So when he was evacuated from Hanzhong, he waited patiently in Heishuiyu in Ziwu Valley, because he knew that Gao Yingxiang who appeared in front of him after a hard journey was very fragile. The general offensive began immediately. In terms of numbers, Gao Yingxiang's men numbered more than 50,000. Sun Chuanting's strength could not be verified, but it was estimated to be around 20,000. Both Gao Yingxiang and Sun Chuanting knew very well that it was time to risk their lives. At the last moment of his life, Gao Yingxiang showed his formidable fighting power. Although he was extremely tired, he still led the army to launch many assaults and broke through Sun Chuanting's encirclement three times.

But he couldn't run away after all, the reason is very simple, this is a small road. Fighting in a small road is like fighting in an alley. Even with the Qinglong Yanyue Dao, there are no bricks to use, and the road is too narrow to run away, so every time he rushed out, he was surrounded again not long after. . Sun Chuanting's troops are also really powerful, with strong resistance to attack. Every time they are overwhelmed, they gather again in a short time. They give full play to Yulin's fine traditions and fight to the end without giving in. Fighting to the death, never retreating, fighting fiercely for four days. Sun Chuanting won the final victory. On July 20th, the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), the wounded Gao Yingxiang was captured in a cave. He was also captured together with his confidants, Liu Zhe and Huang Long. His tens of thousands of troops had completely collapsed before. . Gao Yingxiang, the Chuang Wang who had been in the world for seven years, ended his life. In the past seven years, he had galloped in the Northwest and swept the Central Plains, but failed in the end.Undoubtedly, he was a great character, but that was all. The scientific point of view is bad luck, and the superstitious point of view is fate. When the news of Gao Yingxiang's arrest reached the capital, Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe it, not because he didn't believe it, but because he didn't dare to believe it. The moment Gao Yingxiang was executed, Chongzhen began to believe that he could turn the tide. The killing of Gao Yingxiang is good news for Chongzhen, but it seems to be bad news for some leaders. After Gao Yingxiang's death, many leaders surrendered one after another, such as Xie Zikuai, Chong Potian, etc., who followed Gao Chuang Wang, but Chuang Wang didn't break through, so he stopped. But some people are more happy, such as Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang seem to have some conflicts. They used to fight Fengyang together, but later they split up and did not mix in the same area. It was a competitive relationship. After Gao Yingxiang died, in terms of military strength, he was the boss. There is one more person who, while sad, is very affordable. For a long time, Li Zicheng followed Gao Yingxiang. Gao Yingxiang's nickname was King Chuang, and Li Zicheng was Chuang General.According to some historical materials, Li Zicheng is Gao Yingxiang's nephew. This may not be very reliable, but the relationship is very strong, that's for sure. Gao Yingxiang's death gave Li Zicheng two things. The first is the title. From then on, the name Chuang Wang belongs only to Li Zicheng. The second is military strength. Gao Yingxiang's remnants, led by his generals, defected to Li Zicheng. In this ever-changing and chaotic world, those who leave are abandoned by heaven, and those who remain are favored by heaven. For Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, their road to the world has just taken the first step. The first step is a pit. As I said, for the leaders of the civilian army, the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636) was a fleeting year. Lu Xiang was promoted, and he fought in a mess. He finally ran into the mountainous area, and everyone was transferred away. Another Sun Chuanting came and killed Gao Yingxiang. . It is said that all the bad things come to an end, but the facts tell us that the so-called fleeting time is first-class to the end, and it will never be half-baked. An opponent more terrifying than Sun Chuanting is about to appear in front of them. Unlike Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, and Lu Xiangsheng before him, he is not a general who can fight the enemy. He is the commander in chief. In the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), when Azig led the army to attack, Chongzhen was very nervous, but the most nervous person was not him, but Zhang Fengyi. Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War at the time, was nervous because according to the usual practice, if the capital (including the suburbs) was attacked, the emperor would be unhappy, and if the emperor was unhappy, he would vent his anger on someone, specifically, him. What's more terrible is that the way the boss of Chongzhen vented his anger was to pursue responsibility, specifically, to kill people. For example, seven years ago, when Huang Taiji attacked the capital, Wang Qia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was killed. According to this tradition, he couldn't run away. dropped. But Minister Zhang was quite sensible. Seeing that the situation could not be dealt with, he made a report, saying that the invasion of the Qing army was my responsibility. Chongzhen immediately agreed and sent him to the front. But after Zhang Shangshu arrived at the front line, he didn't seem to go all out, and only did one thing every day-take medicine. What he ate was poison. This is a rather special kind of poison. If you take it, you will not die immediately. You must take it every day, before and after meals, and persevere in taking it before you die. Regarding Zhang Shangshu's actions, I was very puzzled. If I want to die, I can just untie my belt, but if I really can't use a kitchen knife, why bother? After several years, I realized that high, the level is really high. If you commit suicide, according to the situation at the time, you are afraid of crime, and you may not have a pension if you die, but you don’t seem to have the guts to fight the enemy. Enjoy the treatment, a bit less, old fox. Not only did this brother die slowly, but he also calculated accurately. The Qing army retreated at the beginning of September, and he died at the beginning of September, without even a day's delay. If he dies, he will be pulled down, but Comrade Chongzhen cannot be pulled down, he must continue to recruit workers. But the role model is ahead, and the job risk is too high. After talking for a long time, no one is willing to do it. When he was in a dilemma, Chongzhen thought of someone. This man is very filial, and he has written three times to ask that he be punished instead of his father. That was when he was determined to punish Yang He. He still clearly remembered this person's name——Yang Sichang. Yang Sichang, with weak writing and writing, was born in Wuling, Huguang. He was a Jinshi in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli. When Chongzhen saw Yang Sichang, he was very worried. The situation is really bad, the militiamen are making too much noise, and the Qing army is fighting too hard. It is really difficult to cope with the attack from both sides. If this continues, the country will be destroyed sooner or later. What should we do? Yang Sichang only said one sentence, and one sentence is enough: "If the Great Ming Dynasty perishes, it will perish among the exiled thieves!" If you think about it, you will find that this sentence is ridiculously accurate. According to Yang Sichang, the Qing army may be strong, but in a short period of time, there is not much threat, but if the civilian army is not dealt with as soon as possible, Ming Dynasty will surely collapse. Simply put, it is to resolve internal contradictions first, and then resolve external contradictions. In order to realize this intention, Yang Sichang also put forward a plan. The name of this plan in history is eight characters: four positive and six corners, and a net on ten sides. The four positives include Huguang, Henan, Shaanxi, Fengyang, and Liuyu refers to Shandong, Shanxi, Yingtian, Jiangxi, Sichuan, and Yansui.Simply put, the general content of this excellent plan is the name of a garbage movie-Ambush from Ten Sides. It roughly means that ten war zones are set up nationwide, four major and six minor. As long as the militia is found, all regions will jointly encircle and suppress.In short, it is to delineate the scope of jurisdiction, let whoever has an accident take care of it, the supervisor who has an accident, and the assistant who does not have an accident. After hearing Yang Sichang's plan, Chongzhen only said one sentence: "It's too late for me to use you!" Regarding this sentence, many ministers in the court thought it was outright nonsense. Whether it was Yang Sichang or his ambush from ten sides, it was empty talk and worthless. In their opinion, Comrade Yang Sichang would It was the third Minister of the Ministry of War to be killed. However, they were wrong. If there was one person in the world at that time who could save the crisis, then that person could only be Yang Sichang. Two years later, Li Zicheng, who had only 18 people left, and Zhang Xianzhong, who surrendered, can fully illustrate this point. All the changes started from this moment. Wei Zhongxian, the Qing army invaded, civil uprisings occurred everywhere, court struggles, tension, pain, lifeless, but never gave up. Maybe Chongzhen himself didn't know that after eight years of dark efforts, he was about to usher in the dawn of Ming Dynasty. Before Chongzhen died, he once said such a sentence: All the ministers misled me! For this sentence, most people think that it is shirking responsibility. But after researching the government during the reign of Chongzhen, I think this sentence is more correct.To be precise, most of the ministers working for Chongzhen can be divided into two types, except for some people, one is called bastards and the other is called bastards. In this world, there are two kinds of people who suffer the most. The first type is those who are in high positions, and the second type is those who are at the bottom. There are very few people in the first type, and there are many people in the second type.The first type of people is called Chongzhen, and the second type of people is called common people. And the happiest people are those in the middle. Their main job is called deception. The specific feature is that they do everything except good deeds, and they want everything except face. It was this group of people that Chongzhen dealt with every day. For example, in the third year of Chongzhen (1630) when there was a famine in the Northwest, 100,000 shi of grain was sent for disaster relief. When they set off from the capital, only 50,000 were left. At the bottom, there are only 10,000 left, but the actual received is 5,000. It is estimated that this matter was done too disgustingly, and Chongzhen also knew it, and was extremely angry, so he personally investigated and dealt with it. The facts of the case were found out: it was the officials of the Ministry of Households who made the move first. No matter whether it was good or bad, they took the things down and cut them at the waist first. Its name is Daifa, and when it is done on behalf of it, it will disappear. Combined with this case and the historical data of the Ming Dynasty, the officials in the Chongzhen period are more in line with the following rules: the thickness of the skin is roughly inversely proportional to the rank and position. This is more reasonable, a person with a high position and weight, after decades, has status and also needs face, the specific work is different, the tree does not need bark, it must die, people are shameless, the world is invincible, and those who are easy to bully will die If you don't bully, those who can make money will do it to their death, regardless of fame or face, the most real thing is to get some benefits. As Marx said, the accumulation of capital is bloody. Moreover, this group of people has another characteristic, such as leaving a name in history and the country and society are too far away. It is useless to reason with them or talk heart-to-heart.Education is useless, scolding is useless, and spitting in the face is useless. Relatively speaking, the more appropriate way is to spit in the eyes and say: grandson, I can cure you! For example, in the investigation of the eunuch party back then, there were only a few people who studied and studied. Even Xu Xianchun, who personally killed Yang Lian, was studied as manslaughter and dismissed. It was Chongzhen who personally went into battle to kill this person. Another example is this matter. After the incident, Chongzhen was very angry and ordered a strict investigation. The Ministry of Household Affairs was found. Chongzhen became angry, so he went into battle again, found out a few main culprits, killed them, and sent the rest to the army. In short, the imperial court during the Chongzhen period was a bit of a jerk, and Wen Tiren was the one who took the lead. Wen Tiren was not highly rated in history: a traitor, a traitor through and through. As I said before, Wen Tiren is a very capable person, shrewd and capable, knowledgeable and memorized, and good at handling government affairs. So to sum up, Mr. Wen Tiren's final evaluation should be that he is a very capable, shrewd and capable, well-known and memorized, and an out-and-out treacherous minister who is good at handling government affairs. Wen Tiren is a very complicated bad guy. No matter how you look at it, you will find that he is a really good guy. At work, Wen Tiren is a very hardworking person.According to historical records, he is conscientious and conscientious, working from morning to night every day, he is very capable of work, and he can do things that others can't do in a few years, he can do it in a few days. In life, he is a model of integrity.It is said that when he was the chief assistant, those who gave him gifts lined up on the street from the door. After a few days, he didn't see any of them. All the gifts were returned, and those who couldn't be returned were thrown away. In dealing with the relationship with his colleagues, he is very humble, never speaks ill of others, and is very good at listening to others' opinions.For example, there is a man named Wen Zhenmeng, who is his junior. He just joined the cabinet, but he respects him very much, and he always consults with him when he encounters any problems. He has no airs at all. To sum up, in the past few years, Comrade Wen Tiren has strictly demanded himself in work and life, united with colleagues, and should be rated as excellent. Next, let's make an appraisal on Comrade Wen Tiren's evaluation: At work, he is quick and capable, but history tells us that it is impossible to become a bad guy with a long history without ability. In life, he strictly requires himself not to be bribed, because he has too many enemies, and it is very troublesome to be caught. When getting along with his colleagues, he was really kind, for example, he was quite polite to Wen Zhenmeng, but the reason was that Wen Zhenmeng was Chongzhen's teacher, and the background was very hard, and he was digging a hole at that time, waiting for Wen Zhenmeng to jump down . If we look at Wen Tiren's experience, we can find that he has a long-standing habit - to punish people. In the second year of Chongzhen (1629), he conspired with Zhou Yanru to overthrow Qian Longxi and entered the cabinet. After a few years, he overthrew Zhou Yanru and became the chief assistant. The promising Wen Zhenmeng was defeated and his position was maintained. And the way he treats people is quite clever.For example, Wen Zhenmeng has a close friend who has to be punished for committing a crime.By the way, this person's affairs are relatively serious, and according to the circumstances, at least he should be dismissed. Wen Zhenmeng has a good relationship with the emperor, has a good reputation, is very powerful, and has just joined the cabinet. To Wen Tiren, he is the number one thorn in the side, but faced with such a rare opportunity to punish people, he resolutely gave up. Helped to find someone, only gave a demotion, very interesting, Wen Zhenmeng is very grateful. This is how the pit was dug. Wen Tiren is very clear that Chongzhen is a person who doesn't rub his eyes with sand. Punishment of officials is only more serious, not the most serious. If the punishment is light, the emperor will not agree, and it will definitely be aggravated. Comrade Wen Zhenmeng is more upright. He also has a big temper, and he will definitely fight the emperor to death, and the end is more obvious. Things happened as he expected. When the emperor heard about it, he was very furious, dismissed the man directly, and drove him home to farm. As expected of a tough guy, Wen Zhenmeng quarreled with the emperor for several days, and Wen Tiren fanned the flames. no. In fact, it doesn't matter, it's nothing to be a fool in the Tao, to trick people into conspiracy, Zhang Juzheng did not do much about this kind of thing back then, the reason why he was a traitor was because he didn't do anything. Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has done many things, such as quelling chaos, resisting gold, and rectifying. After he finished his work, he was busy with another. Since Wen Tiren came to power, he has only done one thing-personal progress. For the sake of personal improvement, he was very shrewd, cheated Qian Longxi, cheated Zhou Yanru, cheated Wen Zhenmeng, and cheated everyone who stood in the way or who might stand in the way. In order to improve himself, in addition to being shrewd, he is sometimes stupid-playing stupid. Once, Chongzhen came to him and wanted to ask his opinion on something, Wen Tiren immediately replied: I don't know. Chongzhen immediately asked why he didn't know. Wen Tiren replied: I am stupid (original words), I only hope for the emperor's order. For personal improvement, he is very united with his comrades and is very gregarious. In order to bring down Qian Longxi, he wins over Zhou Yanru, and the two work together to send Comrade Qian Qianyi back home. Of course, for the sake of personal improvement, he sometimes doesn't fit in with others and is very lonely. For example, when he attacked his old friend Zhou Yanru, he was very straightforward without the slightest hesitation. I don't have a party, so I'm lonely. Obviously very sinister, very cunning, very disgusting, and always say that I am honest, I am stupid, and it can stimulate my appetite. Capable people, part-time traitors, the most treacherous capable people are traitors, the most capable traitors are still traitors. Identification is completed. In the imperial court at that time, anyone who had been around for a few years generally knew Comrade Wen Tiren's nature, in other words, they all knew that he was a traitor. But it is useless to know, because Mr. Wen Tiren is a capable traitor, and he has won the emperor's trust.Moreover, he himself is ruthless and thick-skinned. After working in the imperial court for many years, he is about to cultivate into a demon, which is truly incomparable. As the saying goes, occupy the latrine and don't shit.Objectively speaking, in the position of cabinet minister, Wen Tiren's behavior does not conform to this sentence. To be precise, he occupies the latrine and only shits. Foreign enemies invaded and internal strife continued. Sincerely, in this critical time of life and death, Comrade Wen Tiren was tirelessly fighting for himself, punishing people and digging pits. But I don't know if it's because of the exhaustion of energy, or Zhu Zhongba in the grave showing his power, and the invincible Wen Tiren, finally he waited for an enemy - an enemy he had defeated before. Qian Qianyi has been at home for eight years since he fell into Wen Tiren's trap at the debate and was driven home.During the eight years, apart from watching people farming (he is a landlord), the main entertainment was writing poetry. Most of these poems are included in his anthology, which can be found and read. The psychological effect is obvious. When you are in a good mood, you can be depressed. When you are in a bad mood, you can commit suicide. The main meaning of the poem is basically the same, I regret something, I want to retire, I have lived in vain, I am boring, anyway, in a word, my whole life, I have gone to the underworld. After all, he has been squatting at home for seven or eight years, and it is normal to feel a little resentful, but Comrade Qian Qianyi is still wrong. He has not gone to the end of the underworld. In the tenth year of Chongzhen (1637), Qian Qianyi, who was watching people farming at home, suddenly heard that a local master named Zhang Hanru wrote a complaint against him. One must know that although Mr. Qian is not doing very well at the top, he is still relatively bully when he is in the local area. The little master makes troubles and is easy to settle. However, within a few days, he welcomed several guests from the capital—some guests who came to arrest him. On the way to be escorted, Qian Qianyi finally figured out that the master's complaint was an imperial complaint. In this world, wherever there are people, there will be struggles, and wherever there are struggles, there will be spectrum, including political struggles.Generally speaking, it is enough to send the opponent to a remote mountainous area and go home for the elderly. There is no need to kill them all, but this matter also varies from person to person. Either he was too complacent, or he hated Qian Qianyi too much. In short, he didn't plan to follow the schedule. One day, he suddenly had a whim and remembered that in the far south of the Yangtze River, there was a Qian Qianyi who hadn't been tortured to death. If you don't go to death, you go to death. But after all, he has a high position and authority. If he wanted to do it himself, it would be too embarrassing to spread the word, and it would be easy to leave a clue, so he decided to kill someone with a knife. The knife he borrowed was Zhang Hanru. The reason why I found Zhang Hanru was because this person is a yamen master, a small person, no matter what, he has nothing to do with the chief minister of the cabinet, and Zhang master has been working in the legal field for a long time, and he is very familiar with the work of shooting black bricks. And never tire of it. Sure enough, after receiving the work instructions, Mr. Zhang worked overnight and wrote a complaint. The so-called little people are inappropriate in writing petitions.At that time, the big man Yang Lian sued Wei Zhongxian for a total of 24 major crimes, while Master Zhang sued Qian Qianyi for 58 crimes. These fifty-eight crimes can be called classics, including embezzlement, bribery, smuggling, collaborating with enemies, playing power, and forming a party. In short, as long as you can think of crimes, he has written them all. But Qian Qianyi didn't panic, because this petition was written so nonsense that he rushed back home and became a commoner, what about corruption?Playing with power and controlling the government is basically nonsense. A shrewd person like Chongzhen would not believe it. But when he arrived in Beijing, he really panicked, because his friend in the court told him that the emperor had approved his crime and was about to be convicted. In fact, Comrade Qian Qianyi should be mentally prepared. You must understand that Wen Tiren is the chief assistant. All the official documents are drafted by him. When they are sent up and signed by him, the emperor may not even read them. Qian Qianyi is worthy of being the leader of the Donglin Party. Although he went home for a few years, he still has great prestige. When he was arrested, many people came forward. He was helped by Shizhong, Langzhong, and Shangshu, including the bachelor. Talk, say that he is wronged, the plot is very tortuous. It didn't work at all, the emperor knew it, and he didn't care. Because what Wen Tiren wanted was this effect. Eight years ago, Qian Qianyi, who was strong and strong, could not compete with Wen Tiren, who was alone and alone, because Comrade Wen Tiren was proficient in psychology. He knew very well that no matter how many people talk to him, it is useless, only Chongzhen can count, and the thing Chongzhen hates the most is forming cliques, the more people help, the worse things will be.It's been eight years, Mr. Qian still hasn't understood this truth, and he really hasn't made any progress. So the more boisterous outside, the more the emperor will not buy it, Comrade Qian Qianyi's head is getting closer and closer to the ghost knife. Wen Tiren was ready to celebrate, waiting for the day when Qian Qianyi was killed. In this regard, Qian Qianyi agreed quite a lot. Although he was in prison, he was very well-informed. He felt that something was wrong, so he personally wrote several letters and entrusted someone to hand them directly to the emperor to defend himself. Unfortunately, the emperor didn't watch it at all. It was obvious that he hated Comrade Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi finally came to a dead end, it was useless to help, it was useless to argue, it was useless to find the emperor, it seemed useless to find anyone. All that was waiting for him was a click. There is a saying: everything stays on the line, so we can meet in the future.This common saying, in more popular terms, means that there is no need to force people too much. Qian Qianyi, who was pushed too far, finally used his trump card in the dark cell. Regarding Comrade Qian Qianyi, in the previous introduction, I missed one point. Apart from being the leader of the Donglin Party, this man also has a relationship-when he was a Jinshi, the teacher who admitted him was called Sun Chengzong. Comrade Sun Chengzong, everyone is very familiar with him, he is very capable, in addition to being able to fight wars, he can also make connections. When Wei Zhongxian was around, there was nothing he could do about him. But the problem is that Sun Chengzong has been retired for several years, and he is not good at speaking. It may be very troublesome to ask him to come forward. Qian Qianyi had no illusions, the reason he found Sun Chengzong, he just hoped that Teacher Sun would help him find another person, this person's name is Cao Huachun. Cao Huachun is a well-known person. I vaguely remember that in Jin Yong's novels, he was a dead-beater, and he ran away several times. But in the tenth year of Chongzhen, he was the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and a confidant of Chongzhen. At that time, he was the only one who could compete with Wen Tiren. But the problem is that this eunuch comrade has no enmity with Wen Tiren, and Qian Qianyi is not his relative, so there is no reason to compare them. But Qian Qianyi believed that this person could help him and save his life. Why? Just ten years ago, he once wrote an article. In fact, this article has nothing to do with Cao Huachun, but Qian Qianyi believes that, for the sake of reading this article, Cao Huachun will help. Because this article is Wang An's epitaph. I said that a long time ago, Wei Zhongxian was Wang An's confidant, but I didn't say that at that time, Wang An's confidant also had Cao Huachun. This seems to be a more complicated relationship.Roughly so. Qian Qianyi went to Cao Huachun for help, because he had helped write the epitaph for Wang An, and Cao Huachun was Wang An's confidant, so for the sake of the dead, he needed some help.In addition, his teacher, Sun Chengzong, has a lot of face. If he is asked to come forward, he still has a little face of a living person. If the dead and the living work together, success must be achieved. It worked. Cao Huachun was very surprised when he heard the news. In addition, this person followed Wang An and had a conscience. He felt that Wen Tiren was going too far, so he agreed to help. Of course, after looking for someone, you still have to listen to the news. Qian Qianyi found someone, and went to the court every day to find someone to inquire about the situation. He searched for three days in a row, but no one paid attention to him. There was no news. On the fourth day, he got an accurate message: You can rest assured. But the meaning of peace of mind is that this matter has been settled, pack your bags, and prepare to be released from prison. Qian Qianyi also understood this way, he believed that Cao Huachun had already solved everything. Cao Huachun originally thought so, he moved up and down, and estimated that in a few days, the matter would be over. But there is no end. Because Wen Tiren is here again. Wen Shoufu thought that Qian Qianyi was going to die, but he didn't expect that after a few days, even Cao Huachun would get involved. If things continued like this, the matter would get worse. Now that he did it, he would do it to the end, so he decided to deal with Cao Huachun together. He first spread the news that Qian Qianyi was in partnership with Cao Huachun, and then found a witness to testify that Qian Qianyi had bribed Cao Huachun. Finally, he asked for leave to be sure. Every time I want to punish someone, Wen Tiren will ask for leave and go home to stay. This means that during my leave, I don't know about anything that happens, and I'm not there. When it's over, I pat my ass and go to work. In fact, to Wen Tiren, it didn't matter whether Qian Qianyi died or not. Anyway, in terms of political status, Qian Landlord was already a dead setter. It is best to do the good things you can do or not to do, and it is best not to do the bad things you can do or not to do.Unfortunately, Comrade Wen Tiren did not have this awareness. In his opinion, Qian Qianyi was already a commoner, and Cao Huachun, who was protecting Qian Qianyi, was just a eunuch serving ceremonies. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, it was very easy to deal with these two people. It's a pity that he didn't know that the complexity of Cao Huachun was far beyond his imagination. Because Cao Huachun is not only a eunuch, but also has a spy background. He used to work in the East Factory. Now that Mr. Wen actually took him for surgery, he really made a mistake at the dock.Eunuch Cao was furious, and immediately ran to Dongchang, found Wang Zhixin, and discussed countermeasures. After all, Wen Tiren was cunning, cunning and invulnerable. To completely bring him down, he had to find a way. After discussing for a long time, there is a solution. Go to the emperor first, take the initiative to report the matter, saying that the matter is very complicated and the consequences are very serious, so the emperor was also shocked, and ordered a strict investigation, and the matter became serious. The next step is to arrest people. Wen Tiren can't be arrested, but Zhang Hanru is a group of people, he can be arrested casually, and when he is caught, he will be thrown directly into the East Factory. It is said that there are a total of hundreds of punishments in Dongchang, with various patterns, which can make people hate themselves for being born, which is much easier to use than any lie detector, so everyone who is thrown here is very honest. Zhang Hanru and his like don't seem to be steel warriors either.According to historical data, the night before he came in, Cao Huachun went for an interrogation, and he was interrogated. In addition to explaining his crimes, he also explained many words and deeds of Mr. Wen Tiren, the mastermind behind the scenes. After Cao Huachun got the confession, he rushed to Chongzhen immediately. After Chongzhen read it, he was silent for a long time, and then he said four words: "Benevolence and Party!" The meaning of these four words can be explained in terms of Jianghu: Wen Tiren has a school. Chongzhen didn't like sects. As the leader of martial arts, he didn't like any sects. Although people like Wen Tiren disliked people, he didn't like it, but don't worry. However, this incident clearly told him that Comrade Wen Tiren also has a sect, although the sect is relatively small, but no matter how small it is, it is still a sect. Then, he brought a memorial. This memorial is Wen Tiren's resignation letter. According to his tradition, in order to fully express his innocence, he wrote this document, saying that he is not in good health, and he probably can't help the emperor anymore. He hopes to let himself go home to retire. In such polite letters, Chongzhen would also be polite, write a few words to persuade him to stay, and then do whatever he wants. However, this time, on the memorial, he only wrote three words. When the memorial was delivered to Wen Tiren's house, he was eating, and he stopped, waiting for the polite words he had heard many times in the past. However, this time, he only heard three words - let him go. The meaning of letting him go can be roughly as follows: get out, get out quickly, where did he come from, where did he go. He is said to have passed out. 温体仁终于倒了,这位聪明绝顶的仁兄,从顶上摔了下来,他落寞地回了家,第二年,死在家乡。 明代最后的一位权奸,就此落幕,确实,最后一个。
