Chapter 708 The chaotic and cup-shaped Ming situation!
Just when the Zhu family army was invincible on the grassland, the Ming Dynasty was not so smooth.
Late at night on the first night of the moon, countless people ran between the streets and alleys in the Fuzhou city gate, shouting everywhere: "Pirates are in chaos! Entering the city!"
The city of Fuzhou was shocked immediately. The people and gentry fled to the outside of the city at night, trampling on each other, and countless people died. Local rogues took advantage of the chaos to rob and set fire to kill them, and the chaos in the city became more and more prosperous.
In the Governor's Office, Governor Zou died in his family.
The prefect and the instructors abandoned their posts one after another. After everyone was breathing, they reported that "pirates broke the city" and countless urgent documents flew into the north and south capitals like snowflakes.
The Later Jin army besieged the Ming army on the border, but pirates were also rising on the coast of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, various natural disasters are rampant, which really adds a bit of apocalyptic atmosphere to the Ming Empire, which has been everywhere in the world.
At this moment, here at Damingshan Haiguan.
Huang Taiji, the head of the Later Jin family, was very clever in adopting the strategy of besieging the city and fighting aid. He used the elite Guanning army such as Dalinghe City and Zu Dashou in the city as bait, and defeated the Ming army who came to Jinzhou to support it many times.
The Ming Dynasty reinforcements that were defeated and annihilated were as high as tens of thousands. Of course, more people ran, few died.
The Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was raised by the Ming Dynasty, lost more than one-third of their troops. In terms of their combat effectiveness, it was also considered to be a contribution.
General Wu Xiang of Liaodong, General Wu Xiang of Yongping, Zhang Chun of the Preparatory Road, and Deputy General Yang Yufan of Tongzhou were captured.
The general of Liaodong of Wu Xiang in the Ming Dynasty, his ancestral home is Gaoyou, Jiangnan, now Gaoyou, Jiangsu. The general of Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty, and the father of Wu Sangui. Yes, he is Wu Sangui's father!
So, Wu Sangui, who was just eighteen years old, was temporarily appointed to take over his father's position.
Since then, the officials of the Ming Dynasty have to sit and watch Zu Dashou, Hong Chengchou and others live in Dalinghe City, and their situation is simply unsightly.
History is so amazingly similar!
In the history that had not changed, in the fourth year of Chongzhen in 1631, in the Battle of Daling River, Zu Dashou's grain was gone, so he pretended to surrender and fled to Jinzhou City to fight against the Qing army. The Qing court repeatedly surrendered and refused to obey.
In the Songjin Battle that began in the third month of the lunar calendar in the 14th year of Chongzhen in 1641, due to the defeat of the reinforcements Hong Chengchou, Jinzhou had no hope of resolving difficulties, so Zu Dashou led his troops to the Qing Dynasty. Later, he followed the Qing army into the pass, and died in Beijing in the 13th year of Shunzhi in 1656.
Unexpectedly, with Zhu Zilong's Ming Dynasty, the ancestors and brothers were surrounded again and were about to surrender.
Even this time, Lao Hong was involved in this time, and everyone complained.
At this time, Zu Dashou and others, who were trapped in Dalinghe City, had run out of ammunition and food after defending the city for more than half a year, and even used human flesh as food. Soon they could no longer hold on and could not break through.
If there is no support, I may have to surrender to the Later Jin Dynasty more than ten years in advance.
It was not over yet. Huang Taiji also sent several Eight Banners, Mongolian soldiers, and various Han troops. A total of more than 20,000 to 30,000 people to fight in various prefectures and counties in Northern Zhili, and defeated all the imperial court officials. The civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty were helpless. There was no chance to rely on the Donglin Party and civil officials!
All the elite troops in Liaozhen and Beizhili have been destroyed, and the front line's troops are extremely empty, and the only ones that can fight are the border troops of Shanhaiguan.
And in the court, there was even more intense emotions. At this time, the officials were still fighting against each other.
However, because most of the people in charge were Donglin Party members, when the emperor was not awake, he managed the country's politics so miserably. He immediately became the target of the target of thousands of people.
Officials from other parties rose up to attack them. The court officials took the opportunity to launch a downward movement!
For a time, the memorials of impeaching Sun Chengzong and Zhou Yanru and other important officials in Donglin were even more incompetent. In front of the queen and the crown prince, the memorials were piled up higher than a dozen people.
In recent years, even if Zhu Zilong's emperor clone suppressed the Donglin Party members.
However, the previous record is that the Donglin Party has always been at the level of the big brother in the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty.
If people were not included in this illegal organization, the Donglin Party had never been legally recognized, they would almost never be able to make a comeback. Therefore, other officials had long hated them.
If you have such a grudge against the world, such a disaster to the country and the people, and command the army to be defeated and returned to such a cabinet, you will be able to see a ghost!
So, not long after.
In the face of public anger, with the queen's secret support, and perhaps worried that the capital was unsafe, the auxiliary Zhou Yanru voluntarily resigned and returned home. The other Donglin officials' positions seemed to be in danger on the surface.
However, although this ending was obviously caused by one's own fault, the Donglin Party members, who are the other people below, did not think so, but felt very aggrieved that the current "evils are growing" in the court!
Is it really unbearable to drive these gentlemen Donglin Party members and officials off the stage?
Therefore, it didn't take long.
The officials of the Donglin Party who remained in the court began to change the topic and started a big quarrel in court again.
However, what these Donglin Party, who were so optimistic that the lawless, did not know is that the problems at this time were obviously not liberated by party struggles and changing the topic. Moreover, new troubles arise!
First, the bad news is.
In Datong, the border troops of Xuanfu suddenly broke out in fierce internal strife in order to compete for the silver mine, with countless casualties and injuries. They are still accusing each other of being rebels. For the time being, it is impossible to obey the court's orders!
Many bandits in northern Shaanxi recommended Gao Yingxiang as their leader, formed an alliance to cross the river and enter Shanxi, easily captured the provincial capital Taiyuan, and killed the King of Jin!
This is the first case of the Ming Dynasty's prince killing a thief since the fall of Zhongdu. It shocked the world for a moment!
Not only that, the Smelling Sect once again caused chaos, but now hundreds of thousands of people have gathered to cut off a lifeline of the canal. It is simply to make the border and capital worse!
The Smelling Sinensis was one of the folk religions of the Ming Dynasty. It is also known as the Eastern Mahayana Buddhism. In the 15731619 of Wanli, it was founded by King Sen of Shifokou, Luanzhou, Hebei. He claimed that he had saved a fox, and the fox cut off its tail and gave it to him. There was a strange fragrance to call on his disciples to follow him, so it was called the Smelling Sinensis Sect and called himself the Smelling Sect Leader.
The believers were spread across Hebei, Shandong, Gan, Jin, Henan, Qin, Sichuan and other places. For a long time, they could reach one million people, which was no less threat than Li Zicheng and others!
Actually, strictly speaking.
The Winter Scent Sect is a family religion. It has been passed down from generation to generation by Wang clan for more than two years. Even in the 21st century later, it has been spread to Fujian, Guangdong, and Taiwan. A branch in Taiwan called the "Jin Zhuang Sect" is still very active.
Therefore, compared with Li Zicheng, they have reached a higher level.
This is almost a great sect that is comparable to the legendary White Lotus Sect.
Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang won the world and founded the Ming Dynasty, and received the help of various sects, so he should not be underestimated.
Even in the early Yuan and Ming dynasties, these sects were recognized by legal status.
For example: After Renzong ascended the throne in 1311, he restored his legal status. However, ten years later, Yingzong ascended the throne and his activities were restricted.
To be continued.
