Before announcing the withdrawal of the capital, the dispute over the suppression and pacification within the court once again entered a fierce quarrel between confrontation and the joint press conference of the officials of Jiangnan and the letter of Ye Xiang's senior officials.
One thing is clear. Whether it is suppression or pacification, the imperial officials expressed opposition to the negotiation conditions for the splitting of the land and becoming the king. In addition, no matter which side, they felt that the Chinese army was difficult to deal with. The side that advocated continuing to "suppression" was not sure to destroy it. The Chinese Army just thought that we could not be reconciled just because we were defeated. This would be a huge damage to the prestige of the court. After all, although the Taiwan Island where the Chinese company is located is like a foreign vassal state, it is nominally a territory under the rule of the court. . Unlike the Jurchens and Mongolian border ethnic minority autonomous regions. The most critical point is that the Chinese army takes the initiative to demand peace talks. It seems that there is no intention to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and replace it.
In the Ming Dynasty, the officials and gentlemen class. The Chinese company was a monster. Yin Feng was an alternative monster. They established their country through business. The land was only in Taiwan and other overseas islands. The population was only one million. They could actually beat the huge Ming Dynasty in a hurry. .The Chinese company believes in Buddhism, Mazu, and God. There are also scholars who read the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. They also advocate Western learning, miscellaneous learning, and military learning. However, they can sweep the coast with uniform military power. In short, in the eyes of bureaucrats and scholars, China United companies are a kind of freak that is separated from the scope of traditional culture. It cannot be explained by the original model of rebellion and rebel groups in traditional history.
In his own "Travels in the East and West", Yin Feng openly advocated that "strength determines everything". He also advocated overseas immigration and expanded territory. These are incompatible with the moral priority of Confucian scholars.
After all, Yin Feng, in his previous life, was engaged in news and knew the power of public opinion. He really looked down on most literati and scholars of this era. However, if you want to do social public opinion work, you still have to rely on these masters. How can literati with the right to speak make these literati write articles that positively promote Chinese companies? It's very simple: coercion and temptation.
Compared with coercion and inducement, anyone who is willing to write articles in the business newspaper and praises the Chinese company can get a large amount of money for money. Among the newly recruited civil servants of Jiangnan, someone has already taken the initiative to write articles. Praise Yin Feng and China Company. Yin Feng opened the Jiangnan version of the Business Daily in Nanjing and released it for free. Therefore, a region was also formed in Nanjing City where news and recruitment advertisements were read out. The location was Shuiximen Wharf.
Today, the biggest influence of the Chinese company on Jiangnan and the entire Ming Dynasty was that they opposed the maritime ban and demanded the opening of the sea to benefit the country, and trade and benefit the people. This slogan is somewhat consistent with the Confucian argument of benevolent politics and loving the people. Anyway, the later Confucian theory of Confucianism has proved that it was later Confucianism Propositions require no logic and just an epiphany. How to explain "propagation of the country and benefit the people" is a word game. Scholars are best at it. Therefore, although Yin Feng and the six major vows of the Chinese company are not acceptable to the Ming literati class. The promotional slogans of China Company can still be used to make a fuss.
Moreover, Taiwan generally opens primary schools, primary schools and various technical schools, allowing children to enroll for free and implements complete compulsory education. This has somewhat won the favor of some scribes. However, what they don’t know is that Taiwan only teaches the "Three Character Classic" in the elementary school literacy stage. 》 and "Thousand Character Classics", primary schools teach some Confucian classics. Most of the time, they teach science courses such as mathematics derived from "The Origin of Geometry". Moreover, the establishment of technical schools, military schools, and political academies is the history of China It has never been traditionally passed.
Although the literati, officials and gentry class only account for about 5% of the population, they have mastered the right to speak because of the support of the regime. The ideology of ordinary people (so-called folk traditions) is still very different from the sages of Confucius and Mencius and Confucianism. However,
In this case, we have to be influenced by the literati class and announced the withdrawal of troops from Beijing. The news was first published in the "Business Daily. Jiangnan Edition" and published in big words on the front page headline. At this time, Jiangnan people had already been
This newspaper is called a "big newspaper". The underground rumors published by the original printing workshops in various places are called "tabble newspapers".
The news of the "big newspaper" shocked all walks of life in Jiangnan. Many scholars who applied for civil servants quickly asked their boss: "Sir, you won't want to withdraw from Taiwan, too."
Regarding the uneasy mentality of the civil servants in Nanjing's garrison offices, a few days later, the "Business Daily. Jiangnan Edition" published an article. The signature was Xu Hongji. The article was titled "Suggestions for Setting up a Jiangnan garrison office". The conditions for peace talks with the court were openly proposed.
It is to cede Jiangnan and split the soil into kings; because Taiwan was actually a country built by Yin Feng and Yin ship owners from scratch. Naturally, it cannot be regarded as the territory of the court. Therefore, if you want to stolen the soil into a king, you must cede Jiangnan.
This article made the people of Jiangnan feel a little relieved. However, the discussions on pacification by the court were messed up.
Because the Chinese army on the northern front used the captured horses and organized five or six thousand horse-riding infantry to conduct mobile combat, the various governors and soldiers who arrived one after another were defeated one by one. They were defeated in Changping, Baoding, Nanhaizi and other places respectively.
The cavalry once arrived at Jizhou and Shanhaiguan.
Although the several important military places surrounding the capital were not occupied by the Chinese army, the capital was not surrounded. However, the Chinese army cut off the grain transportation and had already cut off the capital's food route.
The capital was trapped for several months. The food, gunpowder and even salt that the government could supply was decreasing. It had to be requisitioned from the homes of nobles and wealthy people. In the end, it had to be requisitioned from the common people to maintain the daily expenses of the royal family, bureaucrats, and the army guarding the city.
.
The main suppression faction was a group of people led by Huang Jiashan, Minister of War. Their life-saving straw was the Cheying troops sent by Wenqiu, the new Ji Liao Governor, and the Sichuan Kings Rescue who had just arrived in Baoding.
Wen Qiu, the governor of Ji Liao. He is a native of Gushi, Henan. He was the 23rd year of Wanli. He was the 243rd Jinshi in the Yiwei Clause. He was the right assistant minister and the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Because his former governor of Ji Liao, Wang Keshou, lost his guard in Changping.
At that time, he committed suicide. The Ming court urgently appointed him as the governor of Ji Liao. Because the Chinese army was famous for its good at fighting firearms, he mobilized all the Cheying troops under the jurisdiction of the governor of Ji Liao to come to the capital. He also tried to fight with firearms troops.
The Chinese Army, Shanhaiguan General Du Song's army, basically suffered no losses in the war in the eastern suburbs of the capital. This time, in order to support the attack of the chariot camp, Du Song had to lead 10,000 troops to attack again. The guerrilla warrior Gong Niansui and Li Xibi led the chariot camp.
The cavalry has now set up camp and digging trenches north of Changping. They are ready to rectify their troops.
Sichuan Kingsmen were the famous Shifu Tusi soldiers who were exterminated by the barbarian rebellion on the banks of Sichuan. They were also the famous "White Bar Soldiers". At this time, Shifu Xuanfu was the female general Qin Liangyu.
Although Qin Liangyu is a chieftain, he is a Han Chinese. He is a typical Confucian poisoner of loyalty to the emperor. Her husband was killed by taxes and eunuchs. In August of the 41st year of Wanli, Qin Liangyu's husband Ma Qiancheng started a mine.
The matter offended the eunuch Qiu Chengyun and died of illness in Yunyang prison. According to the system of the chieftain's husband's death, his wife attacked him when his son was young. Qin Liangyu attacked him as the envoy of Shiquan Xuanfu.
In June of the 45th year of Wanli, the Chinese army pirates attacked important places in Jingqu. The court ordered recruitment and assistance to the capital. Qin Liangyu sent his brother Bangping without hesitation, and his brother Minping led 5,000 white-rod soldiers to go first. Then he ruled himself
Three thousand elite soldiers. With his son Ma Xianglin and deputy general Zhou Guozhu rushed to the battlefield of the capital. Qin Bangping and Qin Minping led their troops to Baoding. They were ordered to be commanded by Wenqian, the governor of Ji Liao, to guard the area near Baoding.
The soldiers of the stone pillar all hold a special spear. The spear ends are hooked and the spear ends are rings. When climbing the steep terrain of the mountains, the front and back contacts are overlapping. They are as agile as apes. Because their spears are all made of paintless white poles.
.People at that time called it "White Rod Soldier".
In the 26th year of Wanli, Yang Yinglong, the Xuanfu envoy of Bozhou, joined forces with nine local Shengmiao tribes to raise flags to rebel and besiege Chengdu City. They attacked everywhere, burned, killed, looted. Bozhou is the Zunyi area in later generations. The terrain is steep, the mountains are high, the waters are dangerous, and the rebels are
Relying on the natural barrier, it was rampant for a while. The court sent Li Hualong to governor Sichuan, Guizhou and Huguang to work together to suppress the rebels. Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu led three thousand white-sling soldiers to be among them. Due to the special equipment of the white-sling soldiers
With long-term and strict mountain training, he was very skilled in the war in Bozhou. He often gave unexpected blows to the rebels. No matter how high the mountains and high the Baigang Army could arrive surprisingly, just like a magic weapon descending from the sky, which made the rebels frightened.
From then on, the White Rod Soldier has become famous nationwide.
Now the imperial court has placed its hope of turning around the unfavorable situation on the battlefield. It has completely placed its hope on the Liaodong Cheying and Baigang.
The Chinese army was evacuating the camp in the eastern suburbs of the capital. On the fifteenth day of the 12th lunar month of the 46th year of Wanli, they received an order issued by Yin Feng. Although they were reluctant, they had to retreat. In fact, they had to seize a large number of official troops.
Materials. The Chinese army lived a comfortable life in this cold winter. They had sufficient food, enough coal and wood to keep warm. Strong camps and barracks that blocked the wind and cold. A large number of sheepskins traded by the Jurchen tribes in the Northeast.
Fur coats and cotton coats and trousers that had been prepared in Taiwan long ago. Although most of the Chinese soldiers were southerners, they were still able to attack and fight in this winter.
However, Chen Zhongji and others were still reluctant to retreat in this cold season, because they were staying in the warm barracks and attacking occasionally. After all, it was much better than marching in the ice and snow in the north. In just one or two months, the weather would
It will warm up. However, in order to strive for peace talks with the court, the Chinese army must make a stance to ease the situation. In order to obey the overall situation, Chen Zhongji ordered the evacuation of the camp in the eastern suburbs of the capital on the 20th day of the 12th lunar month.
Three days later, the Chinese army was about to give up Tongzhou. The main force of the army began to slowly march by the snowy Baihe River and headed towards the Tianjin Guard. However, the Ming Dynasty wanted to take the opportunity to catch up and regain some face when the Chinese army evacuated.
. Huang Jiashan, Minister of War, ordered Wenqiu, the governor of Ji and Liao, to quickly attack Tongzhou.
