"It's just that he gets promoted faster. It's not something ordinary people can do to get so many people to campaign for him."
Governor Yuan played such a wild game. It was not only the boldness of an expert, but also some shady stories that Yang Fan didn't know about.
"He rode out alone, which attracted the attention of the emperor and Donglin boss." Liu Hongxun said.
At that time, Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen were completely defeated, Guangning was captured by the Jin army, and everything outside Shanhaiguan was lost.
So the imperial court discussed that people should be sent to guard Shanhaiguan.
After Yuan Chonghuan learned about it, he immediately went outside the pass to check the terrain. After returning to the court, Yuan Chonghuan said: "As long as I can be given enough soldiers, horses, money and food, I can guard Shanhaiguan alone."
The ministers in the DPRK also praised Yuan Chonghuan's talents, so he made an exception and appointed Yuan Chonghuan as the military preparation officer (the fourth rank, that is, the military preparation road) to supervise the foreign troops in the pass. He was allocated 200,000 yuan in gold and asked to recruit troops.
This was the first time he boasted that Shanhaiguan could be defended by one person.
A careful examination of his official career shows that he has always dared to speak big words. He has a history of bragging. It was not the first time that he and the emperor had boasted about returning to the Liao Dynasty in five years. He was actually a habitual offender.
He was the magistrate of Shaowu County, and was a seventh-grade civil servant. He was promoted to the Ministry of War in the capital as the head of the department, and was a sixth-grade civil servant. Not only was he promoted two levels in a row, but he also jumped from a remote village to a key department in the center of the Ministry of War as chief officer. It was simply
It's just one step to reach the sky.
Before he could sit down at the Ministry of War, he took advantage of the Liaodong defeat that shocked both the government and the public and showed off his ability to ride alone. This highlighted his courage in this special period of panic.
Coupled with the big boast that one person can guard Shanhaiguan, everyone from the emperor to the officials and the common people knew about this lonely hero. At this time, what Ming Dynasty needed most was a hero who could save the crisis. So,
He was once again promoted exceptionally.
This time, he was promoted from the chief officer of the sixth rank to a four-level officer, and was promoted to a fourth-rank Bingbei Qianshi.
The jurisdiction of the Tao falls between the province and the prefecture, and the responsibilities of the Tao are not fixed.
But most of them have the responsibility of supervising the army, stationing soldiers and horses in guard stations, and maintaining regional security. 佥: auxiliary. 佥事: equivalent to the current deputy or assistant positions.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Jian Cha Shi Si (Jian Cha Shi, the chief executive responsible for the supervision and justice of a province) was an official with a fixed number of duties, no fixed number, and inspections in separate lanes. It was equivalent to judicial officials supervising the army. The full name of the Military Bei Dao is the Military Preparation Dao.
During the Ming Dynasty, in the border areas and strategic areas of various provinces, there were separate channels for military preparation and military preparation. The military preparation officials were usually the deputy envoys or ministers of the Ancha Division.
This is a proper local official with real power. The second-grade general must kneel down when he sees the fourth-grade military officer. The military officer combines military and supervisory powers to supervise the local army, manage local troops, money and food.
He works in the fields and maintains local security. His power is terrifying.
Moreover, he supervises the foreign troops in the pass and allocates 200,000 yuan to recruit troops.
This sentence is the key. The imperial court gave him the power and money to recruit troops on his own. This is the Ming Dynasty version of military training at the small station. It's just that the location is in Ningyuan City.
This Guan Ning Army was built by him himself. Naturally, he listened to his words.
This was his real trump card for daring to play both sides between the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party. His power was established at that time. In addition to establishing a personal-controlled army in Ningyuan City, he also won over and subdued the local generals in Liaodong.
.For example, Zu Dashou family, Wu Xiang family, etc.
He doesn't have the Guan Ning cavalry from Ningyuan, so he can't conquer the generals of Liaodong. The generals of Liaodong are mazai supported by the eight major business groups. They are used to carry out trade on the Sable Road, as well as with Jiannu, selling rice.
The poisonous powder price business.
Yuan Chonghuan must have colluded with the eight major business groups, otherwise, he would not be able to conquer the Liaodong generals.
Jiubian's foreign trade had already fallen into the hands of the eight major business groups when Zhang Siwei succeeded Zhang Juzheng as chief assistant.
He began to correspond and secretly communicate with Nurhachi during the Tianqi Dynasty. This was all because he had become the general agent and white glove of the eight major business groups in Liaodong.
His connection with Jiannu is to serve the eight major business groups, manage the hugely profitable trade with Jiannu, and this sable road.
Although he hated Mao Wenlong, who had established his own business and had become a warlord in fact, what he did was actually no different from Mao Wenlong. He also managed Liaodong into an independent interest group.
Only in this way can we explain why so many eunuchs and Donglin bosses came forward to support his comeback after he was resigned. This requires huge financial and human resources.
Obviously, his official career is still very young. He does not have such great ability.
Then there is only one possibility. The real driving force behind the situation is the eight major business groups. The father of the financial backer of the Liaodong Group. Only the eight major business groups that have been operating in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years and have produced Zhang Siwei and other chief ministers have this strength.
For two hundred years, he has secretly supported talented poor scholars, even helped them cheat in the imperial examinations, and helped them obtain real qualifications after becoming scholars. This has created a dense network of relationships, secretly influencing and even manipulating government affairs.
Judging from his character, Yuan Chonghuan is not a master who is willing to be manipulated and manipulated by others.
He made his fortune several times by taking risks and daring. Every time he boasted, he gained huge profits. He started by bragging and became big along the way.
If a person is used to using a hammer, everything will look like a nail.
This is a tycoon who only thinks about his own interests and does crazy things.
He used Donglin to start his own business, then cooperated with the Eunuch Party, and then fell into the arms of the eight major business groups, thereby acquiring the territory of Liaodong.
When Yang Fan reads history books, he is always puzzled by Yuan Chonghuan's cunning maneuvers during the slave invasion this year.
With the invasion of Jiannu, Shenyang was empty. The most correct choice militarily was to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, lead the Guan Ning cavalry, attack Huanglong, and advance into the hinterland of Houjin.
They smashed all the altars and jars of Hou Jin, liberated all the Han slaves, and brought them back to the Ming Dynasty. They killed, robbed, and burned all the slave-building territories. They completely reduced Liaodong to ruins.
What a great opportunity to return to Liaoning in five years.
If Huang Taiji still dares to wander around Beijing, he will definitely return to the army to save himself.
I'm afraid that when he comes back with his army, Liaodong will be completely destroyed.
As long as Yuandudu withdraws from Guan Ning and stands firm, Huang Taiji can only look at the fortified city of Jinzhou and squat there crying.
After that, if Huang Taiji dared to enter the pass once, Guan Ning's army would rush into the hinterland of Liaodong and cause harm.
Let’s see who is afraid of whom. Who can’t bear it first?
But what did Yuan Chonghuan do? He entered the border to rescue the driver.
All kinds of death-seeking operations. First, Zhao led the army to lead thousands of people to kill, and then blocked the Jiannu army at Jimen. Inexplicably, hundreds of thousands of Jiannu and the Mongolian army were allowed to take advantage of the night to sneak out from under their eyes.
It slipped underneath.
After that, the most bizarre pursuit battle in human military history began. There has never been any precedent for this tactics, and I am afraid it will never happen again.
The Eight Banners army marched straight to Tongzhou and the capital. They marched in a straight line. When Governor Yuan discovered that the enemy had bypassed Jizhou's defense line, he pursued the enemy in a V-shape. Didn't he know that a straight line is the shortest between two points?
This kind of pursuit can only have one result, that is, the enemy reaches the capital first.
The emperor is not a fool, are you trying to scare him to death? What on earth are you going to do!
Then, Huang Taiji led the Eight Banners and looted in circles around the capital. Guan Ning's army followed behind. The entire capital was devastated, and all the manors of hundreds of officials were looted. All the gains from the officialdom for many years went to the Eight Banners.
The Eight Banners couldn't spend the stolen goods, so they had to sell the stolen goods to them in the end. This was what they had been doing for more than two hundred years - selling stolen goods to the Mongols and slave-building robbers.
Yuan Chonghuan's cunning operation caused great panic in the capital.
Everyone in the capital was frightened and in confusion. Then he made a request to lead Guan Ning's army into the city to protect the capital and the emperor.
It’s really one link after another.
What on earth does he want to do?
The emperor was probably frightened out of his wits at this time. This was his second life-and-death crisis after facing Wei Zhongxian.
Judging from his usual madness and boldness, it is speculated that his ultimate goal in doing this is to lead Guan Ning's army into the imperial capital, and then repeat the many seizures in the history of the Ming Dynasty, launch a coup, and control the emperor.
After he takes control of the emperor, he will take action against the eight major business groups who control him, and also against Dong Lin, who controls him. The eight major business groups will change from the controllers behind the scenes to fat pigs being slaughtered.
