"It's just that he gets promoted faster. It's not something ordinary people can do to have so many people working to build momentum for him."
Governor Yuan played so wildly, not only because he was a master of arts, he was bold. I'm afraid there are some shady things that Yang Fan doesn't know about.
"He rode out alone, attracting 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 guarded by one person.
A careful examination of his official career shows that he always dared to speak big words. He has a history of bragging. He and the emperor boasted about returning to Liao in five years, which was actually not the first time. He is actually a repeat offender.
He is the magistrate of Shaowu County and is a seventh-grade civil servant. He was promoted to the Ministry of War in the capital as the head of the Ministry of War, and was a sixth-grade civil servant. Not only was he promoted two levels in a row, he also jumped from a remote village to a key department in the center of the Ministry of War as chief officer. It’s just one step to reach the sky.
Before he could even sit in 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. Show your courage and courage in this special period of panic.
Coupled with the big boast, one person can guard Shanhaiguan, causing everyone from the emperor to officials and people to know about this lonely hero. At this time, what Ming needs most is a hero who can save the crisis. So, he was promoted again under unusual circumstances.
This time, from being the chief officer of the sixth rank, he was promoted four levels in a row, and he was promoted to the fourth rank of Bingbei Qianshi, which was the Bingbei Dao who served as a Chasi Qianshi.
The jurisdiction of the Tao falls between the province and the prefecture, and the duties of the Tao of military preparation 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. Qianshi: equivalent to the current deputy or assistant position.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Punishment (Jianchashi, the chief executive in charge of supervision and justice in a province) was an official with no fixed number of personnel, and inspections were carried out in separate lanes. It is equivalent to using judicial officials to supervise the army. The full name of bingbeidao is the ordering of troops and preparations. During the Ming Dynasty, in the border areas and key areas of various provinces, separate lines were set up to organize and prepare troops. Military military officers are usually appointed by deputy envoys or ministers from the Ancha Division.
This is a proper local official with real power. The commander-in-chief of the second rank must kneel down when he sees the soldiers of the fourth rank. The Bingbeidao combines military and supervisory powers to supervise local armies, manage local troops, money, grain, and farmland, and maintain local security. The power is frightening.
Moreover, the governor of the foreign army at the pass allocated 200,000 yuan in money and asked him to recruit troops.
This sentence is the key. The imperial court gave him the power and money to recruit his own troops. This is the Ming Dynasty version of military training at small stations. It's just that the location is in Ningyuan City.
This Guan Ning army was built by him himself. Of course you have to listen to him.
This is 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 an army under his personal control in Ningyuan City, he also won over and subdued the local generals in Liaodong. For example, the Zu Dashou family, Wu Xiang family, etc.
Without the Guan Ning cavalry from Ning Yuan, he would not be able to conquer the Liaodong generals. The general of Liaodong is Ma Zai supported by the eight major business groups. It is used to carry out trade on the Sable Road, and to conduct business with Jiannu where rice is sold for the price of poisonous powder.
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 with Nurhaci in the Tianqi Dynasty, communicating secretly. This is all because he has become the general agent and white glove of the eight major business groups in Liaodong.
His connection with Jiannu was to uphold the
The eight major merchant groups serve to manage the hugely profitable trade with Jian slaves and this sable road.
Although he hated Mao Wenlong, who had established his own business and had become a warlord in fact. But 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 tremendous financial and human resources.
Obviously, his official career is still very young. He doesn't have such great ability.
Then there is only one possibility. The eight major business groups are really behind this. The father who is the financial backer of Liaodong Group. Only the eight major business groups that have been operating in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years and have produced Zhang Siwei and other chief assistants have this strength.
For two hundred years, it has secretly supported talented and poor scholars, even helped them cheat in the imperial examinations, and helped them obtain real qualifications after becoming scholars. Thus weaving a dense network of relationships. Secretly influence or even manipulate government affairs.
Judging from his character, Yuan Chonghuan is not a master who is willing to be manipulated and manipulated by others.
His several fortunes came from taking risks. Every time I brag, I get huge benefits. He started by bragging and made it 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, thus obtaining the territory of Liaodong.
When Yang Fan reads history books, he is always puzzled by Yuan Chonghuan's tricks during the slave invasion this year.
When Jian Nu came in, Shenyang was empty. The most correct choice militarily is to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, lead Guan Ning's cavalry, attack Huanglong, and enter 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. Kill, rob, and burn all the slave-established territories. It 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 when he comes back with his army. Liaodong has been completely destroyed.
As long as Yuandudu retreats to Guan Ning and sticks to it, 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 once.
Let’s see who is afraid of whom. Who can't bear it first?
However, what did Yuan Chonghuan do? He entered the border to rescue him.
All kinds of death-defying operations. First let Zhao lead thousands of people to kill, and then block the slave army at Jimen. And inexplicably, hundreds of thousands of Jiannu and the Mongol army were able to sneak past under the cover of night.
After that, the most bizarre pursuit battle in human military history began. There has never been any precedent for this tactic, and I am afraid it will never be used again.
The Eight Banners army went straight to Tongzhou and Beijing. March in a straight line. Governor Yuan discovered that the enemy had bypassed Jizhou's defense line and pursued the enemy in a V-shape. Doesn't he know that a straight line is the shortest between two points?
This kind of pursuit can only have one result, and that is that the enemy reaches the capital first.
The emperor is not a fool, is this a way to scare him to death? What on earth are you going to do!
Then, Huang Taiji led the Eight Banners and circled around the capital to plunder. Guan Ningjun followed behind. As a result, all life in the capital was devastated, and all the manors of the officials were looted. All the gains from officialdom over the years have gone to the Eight Banners.
The Eight Banners couldn't spend the stolen goods, so in the end they had to sell the stolen goods to them from the Eight Major Business Groups. This is what they have been doing for more than 200 years - selling stolen goods from the robberies of Mongolia and the slave establishment.
Yuan Chonghuan's saucy operation caused great panic in the capital.
Everyone in the capital was terrified. It was chaos. Then he made a request to lead Guan Ning's army into the city to protect the capital and the emperor.
It’s really a chain of links.
What does he want to do?
At this time, the emperor was probably frightened out of his wits. This was his second life-and-death crisis after facing Wei Zhongxian.
From his consistent madness and audacity
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 gate grabbing incidents in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Launch a coup and take control of the emperor.
After he controls the emperor, he will take action against the eight major business groups that control him, and he will also take action against Dong Lin who controls him. The eight major business groups turned from the controllers behind the scenes to fat pigs being slaughtered.
