Chen Xinjia, who expelled the Qing army from the pass, could not return to Beijing immediately. King Qin's army of tens of thousands of people was still with him! These people, as well as Minzhuang who participated in transporting logistics supplies, had to be sent away by him. This mission can
Considered a complete success.
It is not easy to get rid of these people, especially when you have no money. The one million loan loan was almost spent by Comrade Chen during the Chinese New Year. Now he only has one or two hundred thousand left on hand.
Two pieces of silver! This little money is not enough to send the beggar away! There is no way, the reality is like this, we can only make do with it like this.
Use people to face the front, not use people to face the back! With a reward of less than 200,000 silver, Chen Xinjia reluctantly sent all the troops of King Qin's army away.
These people cursed and were very reluctant when they left. But in the end they went back! It's not a problem to stay in the capital if they don't go back.
"Hushan, you and Cui'an's men and horses have to hurry up and rush south! The military situation in Luzhou is very critical. Yaocao has sent several urgent reports, saying that the enemy troops are heading towards Lufeng, Nanjing
The city may be under threat. The situation is critical, and I am eagerly awaiting your return to stabilize the war situation."
"I will lead my troops south with Cui'an right now! It's just a thief. When we get to Nanzhi, we will make sure he looks good."
Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji were the last group of soldiers sent away by Chen Xinjia. Based on the battle situation in Luzhou and Fengyang, they should have been sent back as quickly as possible to stabilize the situation. But Lao Chen also lacked
The people who shook the scene could only let them stay in Xuanhua first, and then arrange for them to go south after most of King Qin's troops had withdrawn from North Zhili. Huang Degong and the others are now the fire-fighting captains, and they will rush to where there is fire. Today's Ming Dynasty seems to be everywhere.
It looks like fire.
On March 23, after Chen Xinjia sent off the last group of Qinwang soldiers in Xuanhua, he was preparing to return to Beijing with the new army and his own garrison.
When I return to Beijing this time, I wonder if His Majesty will greet him at the outskirts of Deshengmen? Chen Xinjia feels that his record this time barely qualifies him.
Jiaoying? Chen Xinjia is thinking too much! What he doesn't know is that at this moment, a political storm has broken out in the capital against him.
The person attacked by this storm was naturally Chen Xinjia, but the initiator surprised Zhu Youjian. It was actually Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei.
Zhu Youjian, who thought he could take a breather for military matters, is busy preparing for post-war recovery. He can't do much on major matters, but he can always make up for it, right? This person in the palace
After a while, he was still able to speak. Last year and a half, he took care of the palace. This year, Zhu Youjian is going to really rectify it and turn the inner palace of the Ming Dynasty into an efficient, clean and orderly palace.
enterprise.
But he wanted to take a breath, but some people were unwilling. Shortly after the Qing army came out of the border, and when Chen Xinjia was still sending off the generals who were on official business in Xuanhua Mansion, Luo Yangxing sent a very detailed letter of impeachment to the palace.
Memorial.
Lao Luo's memorial described all the mistakes made by Chen Xinjia after leaving the capital. First of all, the first major crime was to trap the feudal princes and clan members, which resulted in several feudal princes, including King Lu, being captured by the bandits, and nearly a thousand members of the clan were also kidnapped.
Leaving the pass. This caused the majesty of the Ming Dynasty royal family to disappear. The second major sin was that the troops were heavily supported, but the battle results were small. The captive soldiers entered the pass and the king's soldiers did little to provide logistics. Even the capital was affected by the military disaster. No battle results were achieved.
, Chen Xinjia did not restrain the military discipline of his subordinates, and the Qinwang soldiers with lax military discipline caused a lot of chaos in the capital and Zhili, and the people complained numerously. The third major crime was corruption and bribery. This time Chen Xinjia brought out tens of millions of taels of silver.
Ten thousand intercepted by him were not sent to the hands of King Qin's soldiers, and the reward money he sent to King Qin's soldiers was very little. Chen Xinjia also collaborated with the military generals in corruption, and the goods given to him by the generals alone accumulated several carts.
In addition to these major crimes, Luo Yangxing also impeached Chen Xinjia for several crimes that were worthy of death, such as command errors and failure to advance the troops, which almost caused the emperor's own army, the Yongwei Camp New Army, to be surrounded and annihilated by captured troops! For example, lying about military intelligence! For example
Leading troops to bully local officials! Such crimes! In a word, he deserves to be punished!
Luo Yangxing's memorial contains both accusations and evidence. It can be said that the facts are complete and the accusations are reasonable! Zhu Youjian, who saw the memorial, knew that Chen Xinjia must have made all these mistakes. Luo Yangxing did not exaggerate or exaggerate at all.
After receiving the impeachment memorial from Luo Yangxing, Zhu Youjian was thinking about how to deal with the matter! Then the next day, Liu Keyan officials, some local officials, officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and other officials in the capital were like bombs.
As if the blame had been taken away, various memorials to impeach Chen Xinjia were delivered to the cabinet and the palace.
Facing the swarm of impeachment letters, Zhou Yanru, Chen Yan and others in the cabinet could not stay away. They went directly to the palace to ask the emperor how to deal with the matter!
"Dear ministers, don't panic. I haven't read the memorial to impeach Jian Heng yet, and I guess you don't have time to read it either. So, it's not too late to discuss it after we have a clear grasp of the situation! Submit a letter to impeach.
Let’s talk to the officials and tell them that the imperial court and I are fully aware of the situation and ask them to be calm and calm!”
"Your Majesty is wise! I will go back and appease the officials who wrote the letter! I feel that this impeachment involves important military and national ministers, so we must handle it carefully and not act hastily." Zhou Yanru expressed his attitude tactfully. He definitely didn't want it.
Chen Xinjia fell due to impeachment! Everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. If it is so easy for someone to remove an important minister like the Minister of War from power, is that okay? What if they turn around and come back to trouble him as the chief minister?
what to do?
"Indeed, as the Grand Master said, this matter must be treated with caution and cannot be easily determined. Jian Heng is still working on the front line. If we believe and listen and let Zhongliang be wronged, isn't this the same thing as the relatives who hate the enemy are happy?"
To bring down Chen Xinjia, is it a matter of pleasure for relatives and enemies? Zhu Youjian thinks it is like this in a sense. Lao Chen is a man of average ability, great ambition and limited talent, and has many shortcomings. He is not a good person. The problem is at the moment.
How many good things are there in the Ming Dynasty? The country is in critical danger. At this time, the central officials who are familiar with the situation are to be removed. Who can be replaced? No matter how talented the replacement people are, they will not be able to straighten things out in a short time.
The high table and low benches are all made of wood, and the poplar wood is still a decent wood no matter how rotten it is! In this situation, no matter who you replace it, it won't work! The most realistic solution is to make the center function stably and normally.
It is understandable that the officials impeached Chen Xinjia and Zhu Youjian. It is not surprising that any other official of the Ming Dynasty impeached Chen Xinjia. What is strange is that the initiator of this matter was actually Luo Yangxing! He did not know the situation of the officials of the Ming Dynasty.
?Whoever goes out looks like Chen Xinjia? The one who doesn’t reach out to take advantage of others? Chen Xinjia, the supervisor, is only in name only, but Luo Yangxing doesn’t know it? According to common sense, Luo Yangxing doesn’t seem to be a remonstrator who would rather bend than bend.
