Chapter 202: Eunuchs Are Not All Villains (Part 1)
Mainly because of Zhu Jianshen's childhood experience, he was always worried about danger, so he fell in love with Concubine Wan Guifei, who was seventeen years older than him. He always felt that he was not safe. Then he established the West Factory, led by Wang Zhi, and appointed the captain.
The number of people is twice that of Dongchang.
It was this year that Yang Ye, the great-grandson of the late Shaobao Yang Rong and a fellow commander of the Jianning Guards in Fujian Province, and his father Yang Tai ran rampant in the countryside and killed many people. They were hunted by Feng Jun and went to Beijing to pay bribes. At that time, the case was not accepted by Xichang
Yes, but Yang Ye saw Wang Zhi's rise and wanted to worship one more Bodhisattva, so he bribed Wang Zhi through others.
After Wang Zhi received the news, he was officially involved in the case. Isn't this the case of sleeping on a pillow? When Xichang was just established, the case was used to establish his authority. He immediately ordered the Yangs and his son to be arrested, sent to Xichang Prison, tortured, and confessed.
He found out the truth and implicated many courtiers, whose weight was not light. For a time, Xichang was "powerful and doting on He Yi, and everyone was paying attention".
Wang Zhike didn't care about the Yang family and the Niu family, so he immediately sent Wei Ying to break into the home of the harboring criminal Yang Shiwei and arrest Yang Ye. After torture, Yang Ye confessed. Zhu Jianshen was furious and immediately sent eunuchs Qian Xi and Wei Ying to Fujian to general
The Yang family ransacked their home and escorted Yang Tai and more than a hundred men and women to the capital.
After a long and harsh interrogation, Yang Ye was overwhelmed and died in prison. Yang Tai was executed according to the law. Yang Shiwei was demoted to the general judge of Taizhou Prefecture. Dong Xu was demoted to the general judge of Hejian Prefecture. Yang Tai's cousin Yang Shijian, the official of Zhongshushe
, the experience of downgrading the Huizhou Guards. Gao Chong, a member of the Jinyi Guards family who was convicted of taking bribes, died in prison. Wang Yingkui, the head of the Criminal Department, sent the border guards to the army.
Zhu Jianshen's main purpose of hitting the Yang family hard and fast this time was to increase the imperial power. He had set up the West Factory and was criticized by these civil servants. He issued memorials every day demanding the abolition of the West Factory. His treatment of the Yang family
Not only was the entire civil service group deeply shocked, but it also aroused great anger. The finger was directly pointed at Wang Zhi of Xichang. Yang Rong
He is the leader of the civil service group. Over the years, his disciples and old officials have spread all over the world. Dealing with the Yang family is just a slap in the face of these people. It is unbearable! After a month of series planning, the civil service group began to attack. The chief minister of the cabinet
Shang Ren and others went to court and said that Xichang was "too complicated to inspect, the laws were too urgent, and the criminal network was too tight", and they united with the six ministries and nine ministers to ask Xichang to be dismissed.
Cabinet bachelors Shang Lu, bachelors Wan'an, Liu Jue, and Liu Ji jointly submitted the memorial. In this memorial, the reaction of the civil servants to the matter was as follows: "The important ministers of civil and military affairs at home and abroad, and those who entrust them with the support of others, are all
They are restless in their positions. All the officials in the bureaucracy and the common people, as well as those who support the establishment of government and affairs, are restless.
This is a naked threat to the emperor, indicating that our officials are very dissatisfied with your behavior. Afterwards, after describing the evil deeds of Xichang at length, the civil servants then issued a stern warning: "Otherwise this trend will
The day is getting longer and everyone is wailing. The safety of the country is unknown."
After receiving the memorial, Zhu Jianshen immediately noticed the danger signal in it, and sent Huai'en, the eunuch and eunuch to question the four people: "What bad thing is the imperial court using Wang Zhi to investigate traitors? Who made the first idea when you suddenly said this?"
?" But what I didn't expect was that Wynn and the civil service group were colluding and collaborating. They were a group. They made a unified confession in private and replied to the emperor. They were four people. "The same idea. Who is the first?" Among the four,
Shang Ren was a veteran of the former dynasty, and Wan An, Liu Jue, and Liu Ji were the old friends of Emperor Chenghua when he was the crown prince. Zhu Jianshen was shocked that these three people also opposed him, and he knew that he was not with the civil service group now.
When there was a head-on conflict, he immediately changed his words and said: "What you said was good. I really don't know what Wang Zhi did wrong. Now I will be dismissed from the West Factory and the official school will be dismissed, so that you can do your work in peace."
The next day, Xiang Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, met with all the ministers to submit a petition to force the palace. Zhu Jianshen left the memorial without reporting it, but was forced to disband the West Factory. Wang Zhi returned to his post, and Wei Ying was transferred to the Border Guard Chaocao.
In the first confrontation between the two sides, although Zhu Jianshen failed, he did not win.
Ganxin. Soon he ordered Wu Shou, deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei, to be interrogated in the Zhenfu Division. Although Xichang was dismissed at that time, Wang Zhi still did not stop inquiring about news from the outside world under the emperor's instruction. Wu Shou because of "poor"
"Common in writing, good at writing and writing", he was selected as Wang Zhi's deputy.
Xiang Zhong was a Jinshi in the seventh year of orthodox examination, was awarded the post of head of the Ministry of Punishment, and was promoted to Yuanwailang. He followed Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty to conquer Oara in the north, but was defeated and captured. The Oara people ordered Xiang Zhong to raise horses, but Xiang Zhong took advantage of the enemy's inadvertent seizure of two horses.
The horse fled south. The horse could no longer run, so Xiang Zhong abandoned the horse and walked barefoot for seven days and nights before reaching Xuanfu.
In the early years of Tianshun's reign, he was appointed as the inspector of Shaanxi Province.
In July of the first year of Chenghua, the Tatar Maoli children harassed Yulin and Yansui in August. Xiang Zhong and Zhangwu Bo Yang Xin joined forces to resist and were defeated. The Maoli children went deep into Liuzhou County and plundered away. The Ministry of War impeached Xiang for this.
Loyal, but was forgiven by Zhu Jianshenyuan.
In the fourth year of Chenghua, Manjun rebelled. Manjun was also known as Mansi. Manjun's ancestor Badain led his subordinates to the imperial court in the early Ming Dynasty and led thousands of nomadic tribes for generations. The past customs were followed, and there were no taxes or corvees.
Located in Kaicheng County
Guyuanli, then the border. Manjun was unruly, always collecting bad guys and thieves, and often went out to the border to plunder. There happened to be a lawsuit involving Manjun, and the relevant departments tracked him to his home and made demands from all sides. Manjun became angry and incited his tribe to cause chaos.
The defender sent Man Jun's nephew to command Man Wang Shou to arrest him. Man Jun killed Man Wang Shou's followers, kidnapped Man Wang Shou and rebelled, and entered Shicheng to defend it.
Shicheng is the Tufan Stone Fort in the Tang Dynasty. The city is very dangerous and cannot be conquered without tens of thousands of people. There are city walls and fences on the mountain, surrounded by cliffs. Five stone wells were dug inside to store water, and there is only one path to go up. Man Jun claimed
Zhaoxian Wang had four thousand soldiers. They all commanded Xing Duan and others to fight with Manchu and were defeated. In less than two months, Manchu's army numbered 20,000, and Guanzhong was shocked.
The imperial court appointed Xiang Zhong as the governor-general of military affairs, and together with Liu Xiang, the eunuch who supervised military affairs, and Liu Yu, the general military officer, led the troops from the Beijing camp and the four towns of Shaanxi to attack Manjun. The army had not yet left, but the governor Chen Qi and others first sent 30,000 troops
They went to crusade, but were severely defeated. The Manjun army became even more arrogant with the help of captured military equipment and armor.
The imperial court was discussing the need to increase troops. Xiang Zhong considered that the army in the capital was fragile and could not be relied on, and that sending more generals would disrupt the unified command of the army. Therefore, he reported to Zhu Jianshen: "I have mobilized more than 33,000 troops, which is enough to destroy the bandits."
"It is cold in the fields in late autumn. If we mobilize other troops, it may take time to go back and forth, and the thieves will be able to escape. Besides, the border troops cannot stay for a long time, and it will be inconvenient to increase the number of troops." Peng Shi and Shang Ren agreed, and the Beijing army was not dispatched.
Shicheng had not yet been captured, the weather was very cold, and the soldiers were very tired. Xiang Zhong was worried that the rebels would break out and escape, so he took advantage of the frozen river to cross the river to join the enemy invaders in Hetao. He prepared the equipment for attack day and night, and went through more than three hundred battles. Peng Shi,
Shang Ren is convinced that Xiang Zhong can defeat the rebels
, if Xiang Zhong's more than 30,000 regular troops could not defeat Man Jun's rabble, he would be really speechless, so Xiang Zhong adopted the tactic of encirclement and harassment. After fighting for more than half a year, Xiang Zhong finally eliminated the rebels. Because of his military exploits
, was promoted to censor of Youdu, and was in charge of the affairs of the court in collaboration with Lin Cong.
In March of the first year of Chenghua, the leader of the Jingxiang refugees Liu Tong (named Liu Qianjin), together with Shilong (named Shi Monk), Liu Changzi and others, set up a yellow flag in Damuchang, Fang County, and gathered a crowd to revolt. They were named King of Han, their country was named Han, and their reign was named
Desheng conquered Xiang and Deng, and defeated the army repeatedly.
The imperial court sent Bai Gui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, as the admiral of Huguang's military affairs, and Zhu Yong, Bo of Funing, as the chief military officer. They joined Li Zhen, the commander-in-chief of Huguang, and Wang Shu, governor of Henan, to go into the mountains to attack. In the leap month of the following year, Liu Tong was defeated and captured, and died.
Capital. October, Liu
The eldest son, Shi Long, was captured. After the uprising failed, Bai Gui implemented the policy of compulsory vassalage and restitution among the refugees, which led to Liu Tong's remnant Li Yuan (named Li Huzi), Xiao Wang Hong, and Wang Biao in the sixth year of Chenghua.
The second uprising of refugees.
Li Yuan was proclaimed King of Taiping, and he attacked Nanzhang, Neixiang, and Weinan, and nearly a million refugees returned. In the winter of the sixth year of Chenghua, the imperial court issued an edict to appoint Xiang Zhong as the governor-general of military affairs, and together with Li Zhen, the chief military officer of Huguang, he conquered Li Yuan.
Xiang Zhong sent a memorial asking Yongshun to be transferred to protect Jing's soldiers. He first divided his troops to guard the key points.
Flags and drums were erected everywhere, and people were sent into the mountains to recruit surrender. More than 400,000 refugees returned to their hometowns, and Wang Biao was also captured. At this time, Bai Gui was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, and he sent Jinyi Baihuwu to assist General Wang Xin's army.
, Wu Fu tried to steal the military exploits and did not want the rebels to disintegrate, so he spread rumors. Bai Gui believed them and stopped adding more soldiers.
Xiang Zhong argued with Shu and impeached Wu Fu for his crimes. The emperor therefore summoned Wu Fu back and approved the original troop deployment plan. The total amount was 250,000, and he was divided into eight groups. Tens of thousands more refugees returned. The thieves were lurking in the mountains.
Xiang Zhong ordered Yu Xun, the deputy envoy, to direct Li Zhen to attack. When the two armies met at Zhushan, the stream rose, and the thieves crossed the river halfway and launched an attack.
They intercepted and captured Li Yuan, Xiao Wang Hong and others. Many thieves were drowned. Xiang Zhong moved his army to Zhushan to capture the remnants. He also recruited 500,000 refugees, beheaded 640, captured more than 800 enemies, and had a family of 30,000.
The remaining people. Each household chooses one male to guard the border of Huguang, and the rest return to their original places to divide the fields and cultivate. Xiang Zhongshu stated ten things for the aftermath, and the imperial court approved all of them.
Xiang Zhong stabilized the refugees in Jingxiang by expelling them. They were all forced to expel them. If they refused to leave, they would be killed. Some of the refugees had moved from other places since the Hongwu period and had become local residents with household registration. They were also being deported. Shou
Many of the refugees on the border died of illness during the boat ride. Wang Jing of Liang took advantage of the opportunity for the court to express his opinions due to the change in astrology, and impeached
Xiang Zhong impeached Xiang Zhong for killing people indiscriminately. Bai Gui also said that the refugees who had already established a career should be registered according to their location. He also refuted the contradiction in the order of merit reported by Xiang Zhong. Zhu Jianshen believed that the refugees in Jingxiang were a serious problem for the court, and Xiang Zhong's pacification was a credit.
Xiang Zhong was promoted to the censor of Zuodu, and his son Xiang Shou was promoted to the rank of Qianhui in Jinyi. The merits of the generals were recorded according to their rank.
