Chapter 311 Liaodong's old historical accounts are about to be turned over!
Because Chen Rongsheng told the story about Huang Long's son, Fang Ruocheng had to act cautiously.
After asking several leaders and the so-called Huanglong's concubine and son about the situation, they were taken to Port Arthur.
According to what these people said, it seems that what they said about Huang Long's son is indeed true. Huang Long's original family members have been massacred by the Manchus and traitors from Dongjiang Town. This concubine was taken by him when he was in Lushun. Gangsheng Shortly after giving birth to his son, Lushun Port was captured by Huanglong and died in battle. Chen Rongsheng and several other Huanglong soldiers took his concubine and son and fled to Sanshan Island.
Because they were afraid that the traitors in Dongjiang and the Qing Dynasty would know that Huang Long still had heirs, they did not publicize the matter and continued to work as pirates here invisibly and anonymously. Even the new members of the team did not know the inside story.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Sons of Huanglong that Chen Rongsheng and the others have never surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The Manchus and the Dongjiang people are their feuds, and there will be no good results if they surrender.
After the bandits killed a Zhongliang, Fang Ruocheng, who returned to Lushun, quickly reported the situation to Ren Shuangyou and asked him to decide how to deal with the matter. How could Ren Shuangyou be in charge? He could only report the situation to the capital. Let the court and the emperor decide.
After Zhu Youjian received the memorial from Ren Shuangyou, he was quite surprised. Huang Long had been dead in battle for many years, but he never thought that he still had a son alive. Judging from the time, this boy was already thirteen or fourteen years old, so he was supposed to be an older child. .
"Go and tell the grand master to come to the palace. Regarding the placement of Huanglong's son, we need to discuss it carefully before making a decision." After thinking for a while, Zhu Youjian thought that he should communicate with Zhou Yanru. This matter seemed to be a small matter. , it really needs to be discussed in detail, but it is very related.
After Zhou Yanru arrived at the palace, Zhu Youjian asked first: "Master, the cabinet should know that Huang Long, the former commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, has an heir? What is the cabinet's opinion on how to arrange this son?" ?”
"After receiving the report, I have already discussed it. If it is true that he is the Queen of Huanglong, because his father is loyal to state affairs, he should be treated favorably! My opinion is to recruit this son to the Imperial Academy and give him a good background."
"Only giving him the status of a sacrificer? I think it's a bit unfair. Huang Long died in the battle with the rank of commander-in-chief, so the government should treat him favorably. I am going to posthumously confer him the title of Wei Haibo, make him the City God of Lushun, and build a temple to be honored by the world. Incense. His son will succeed him in the title, and he will be raised in the capital!"
"Your Majesty, although Huang Long has been loyal to the country! However, when he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang River, he committed a lot of abuses. The Dongjiang River is corrupted. His fault is not small. The preferential treatment given to him for building a temple is too heavy. Please think twice." Zhou Yanru's attitude. It represents the opinions of most courtiers towards Huang Long. They feel that a lot of bad things that happened in Dongjiang Town later are related to Huang Long's improper handling.
Is the corruption in Dongjiang Town the fault of Huang Long? Zhu Youjian doesn’t think so. First of all, the people in Dongjiang Town are all Mao Wenlong’s personal generals, and they are not willing to accept the control of the court at all. After Mao Wenlong’s death, Dongjiang first had internal strife, and then there was a dispute over pay, and What's more, it was in chaos. After Huang Long was transferred, the support from the court was not enough. He couldn't suppress the Dongjiang forces at all. Without support, Huang Long was allowed to fight these warlords! What could he accomplish? The Dongjiang disaster was strange. There are too many people, but Huang Long should not bear the main responsibility.
"Grand Master, the disaster on the Dongjiang River started in his heart and was defeated in the temple. Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong, Yuan Keli, Sun Yuanhua and other officials in the temple at that time were the cause of the disaster. For this disaster, it is against the country to blame the border generals who died in state affairs. The purpose of conferring the title of Huanglong is to let the loyal soldiers who died on the battlefield rest in peace. It is time to sort out the bad things in Liaodong step by step. There is a principle in sorting out the Liao affairs. The soldiers who are loyal to death will only talk about what they have done. Don’t make mistakes after your merits.”
The reason why the incident of Gu Hao/s Huanglong's son is said to be of great importance is because it involves the whole historical issue of corruption in Liaodong. There are a lot of bad people here and bad things are involved. As the Ming Dynasty once again entered Liaodong
, these historical rotten things will inevitably be re-examined, and the attitude towards doing so is very important!
To be honest, if we talk about it in detail, no one involved in the matter is completely irresponsible and innocent. In an avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent. This is the truth. Starting from Wanli Chao and Li Chengliang, anyone who goes to Liaodong,
As for the people who made the relevant decisions, who dares to say that they are completely innocent in this catastrophe?
But when you go over the accounts, you can't put everyone in. There have to be some relatively good people who want to be role models, and there have to be some good ones picked out from the bad people and bad things. Huang Long was the first one picked out by Zhu Youjian.
People should use him as an example and set a standard for courtiers to avoid having no rules to follow when the verdict is overturned.
The old historical accounts of Liaodong must be settled. Even if the courtiers don't want to settle the matter, Zhu Youjian himself will step in personally to promote this matter. Otherwise, wouldn't the chaos in the Ming Dynasty in the past few decades be in vain? All sacrifices will be meaningless.
Chasing Huang Long, in addition to extricating him from bad things, also has a direct purpose, which is to give certainty to his opposite, Dongjiang Town! No matter what the situation was in Dongjiang Town during Mao Wenlong's era, they were on the battlefield to contain the Manchus
What role did it play? Since the death of Mao Wenlong, those goods in Dongjiang Town, whether they are dead or surrendered to the Manchus, anyone who stands on the opposite side of Huang Long must be held accountable for his historical responsibility. Lack of pay, unfair treatment by superior officials.
This is not a valid reason for you to cause civil strife and become traitors.
Is there no shortage of pay in that border town of the Ming Dynasty? Will the Shangguan of the Ming Dynasty be absolutely fair when dealing with things? Isn’t it because of the influence of Mao Wenlong’s warlord habits, which made this group of people unruly and a little unhappy and did things that were not in line with their own wishes?
They rely on the soldiers at hand and do whatever they want. Dongjiang and Shandong have been tortured enough by them. It only matters if you have Mao Wenlong's skills. You are all a bunch of people with Mao Wenlong's bad habits and no one else has the ability.
At Lushun Port, Chen Rongsheng and others have been staying here waiting for the imperial court's order. Ever since they were taken here by Fang Ruocheng, these people have never had peace of mind. Although Fang Ruocheng said that he would not treat them harshly, he would take them to Dengzhou Port for training.
Afterwards, they were assigned to the navy and continued to serve the imperial court. But without a formal imperial edict, they have been detained here. Who would be so big-hearted as not to have random thoughts?
After waiting anxiously for more than ten days, they finally got the motivation. A group of guards in royal robes came to the place where they were being held with the imperial edict.
The imperial guard who delivered the order said to Chen Rongsheng and others who were kneeling to receive the order: "Huang Baitao, the son of Huang Long, the former chief military officer of Dongjiang Town in the Ming Dynasty, and his concubine Huang Chen came forward to receive the order."
Huang Baitao and his mother in the crowd quickly stepped forward to shout long live and receive the order!
"I have appointed Huang Long, the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town, who was loyal to the country during his tenure, bravely killed the enemy, and sacrificed his life for the country. He lived up to Long's kindness. I burst into tears when I heard about his sacrifice for the country. In order to prevent the loyal people from being dusted, I promoted him to the Ming Dynasty Weihai.
Uncle, because of his death, his son Huang Baitao was specially allowed to take over the title. He built the City God's Temple in Lushun Port. Huanglong was the God of Lushun and received incense to protect the place forever. His concubine, Huang Chen, raised the orphan son of a loyal minister to adulthood, and raised a loyal and good man for the country.
Later, in order to show her merit in the country, she was specially given the title of Huanglong's wife, and was given a first-grade imperial edict. I appreciate this!"
As soon as the Jinyiwei who announced the decree finished speaking, Huang Chen and Chen Rongsheng, who were kneeling on the ground, began to cry. Chen Rongsheng is the younger brother of Huang Chen, otherwise he would not be able to protect their mother and son until today. After more than ten years of hard work, they finally got through it.
You can imagine how excited they were when they met a count who was granted the title of earl by the imperial court.
