The turn of May and June in the tenth year of Wanli was indeed an eventful summer.
When the Chen Hong case broke out, Gao Pragmatic took the lead in name and arrested Chen Hong's accomplices according to the imperial edict. The imperial envoy Huang Mengyu, the eunuch of Dongchang, led Dongchang and Jinyiwei to fully cooperate.
The two temporary Jin Yiwei Qianhu carried out the surveillance and arrest separately, and the process went smoothly. However, afterwards Gao Pingshi was impeached by the boss. Some impeached him for his wanton and arbitrary arrests, and some impeached him for nepotism and unfairness. In short, they were impeached. The academic lineage could not hold back this time, including the always low-key and forbearing Mr. Shen Shixing and Shen Ge. They all instructed the disciples in Beijing to go to court to impeach, so as to prevent Gao Pragmatic from relying on the Holy Family to become lawless.
Gao pragmatically behaved very calmly. After receiving the news that he was impeached, he decisively followed the custom at that time and "suspended himself for self-reflection" and went to see Xinzhai to escape the summer heat. He said to the outside world that he would thank guests behind closed doors.
After the impeachment memorial in the General Affairs Department weighed at least dozens of kilograms, he took his time and presented a self-defense statement, explained a few sentences in a moderate manner, and asked to resign. Judging from the writing and ink of this essay, Gao Liushu was written very carelessly. The basic meaning is that I just put my name on it and don't know anything else.
Naturally, he and Huang Mengyu discussed this matter. Anyway, Admiral Dongchang is basically not afraid of being scolded by civil servants - he is used to it.
As for the emperor, generally he would not attack the factory governor just because the civil servant scolded him. This kind of thing was a good thing for the emperor. Only Chongzhen would completely obey the civil servant's wishes on this point. In the past, Long Qing had so much trust in Gao Gong, and Gao Gong only recommended the Chief Ceremony Supervisor, but did not see him telling Long Qing that he wanted to remove Feng Bao, the factory supervisor.
Huang Mengyu stood firm and motionless, while Zhu Yijun's attitude became even more determined.
He first personally criticized the people who criticized Gao Shu for being pragmatic, and then he found two officials who were not too tough in the background to be demoted and transferred to foreign posts. It turned out that the effect was not good, and there were still people who criticized Shang Shu. Highly pragmatic and domineering.
Zhu Yijun was so angry that he personally wrote over 400 words of one of the memorials that criticized Gao Qing and pragmatism the most. In it, there was even the words "Gao Qing served me for more than ten years. He was loyal to the public and the country, a role model for people and ministers, and his merits are outstanding." Phrases like "brilliant Jingwei, virtue north and south" are not like praising a young minister at all, but like praising a cabinet minister who is about to serve gloriously, which shocked the jaws of a large number of Beijing officials.
But this is not the most cruel thing. The most cruel thing is that Zhu Yijun, who was still feeling resentful after the memorial was issued together with Zhu Pi, suddenly issued another oral order to leave the palace and ordered the Jinyi guards to capture the Yanguan and hold him in front of the palace gate. Twenty big boards!
This time it really shocked the capital.
Since the late Emperor Mu Miao inherited the throne, how long has it been since the imperial court staged a court-staff incident? The little emperor just got the power, and he actually started playing with the imperial staff. This is amazing!
Gao Pragmatic was also shocked when he got the news. His first reaction was "I'm going to be in trouble", and his second reaction was "Zhu Yijun is feeling angry".
"I want to be in trouble" is very simple. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty had a perverted idea. They were not ashamed of the imperial staff, but rather proud of it. They felt that it was a great honor to be given the emperor's imperial staff, because it "must" be The "treatment" you will enjoy only if you make a remonstrance.
In turn, Gao Pragmatic, the root cause of the imperial staff, must be a disaster.
Youdao means that three people can become a tiger, and the public opinion can make gold. Once the public opinion trend is suppressed, Gao Pragmatic's situation will be very difficult. This situation can be seen from the time when Xu Jie had a high arch, "the whole dynasty reversed the arch". No matter how hard the emperor tried to persuade him to stay, Gao Gong insisted on leaving - civil servants were not distinguished, so they had to lose face.
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic did not dare to be negligent anymore and wrote a memorial with great care - he asked himself to resign, saying that he did not expect that things would get so bad and he felt that he had no shame in occupying his position, so he could only return home in gratitude. So much.
As soon as the memorial was handed over, Zhu Yijun immediately dismissed it, and at the same time issued a gentle edict to persuade him to stay, and also praised him a lot.
At this time, the officials of the Practical School could not sit still - mainly because Zhang Siwei could not sit still. If Gao Pragmatic left, he would doubt whether the Practical School Party could still unite under his command as usual, so he had no choice but to summon his disciples and former officials to start making arrangements. Fight back.
When the Practical Learning Party began to submit a memorial praising its high pragmatism, the officials of the Popular Learning Party were naturally dissatisfied and were about to continue the scolding battle. Unexpectedly, two bad news came from Ji Liao in succession.
It turned out that Tumen Khan was very unconvinced after returning to the east, and he had to restore the decline to prevent his throne as the Great Khan from becoming precarious. So after careful consideration, he chose to continue to trust Burihatu and entrust him with Important task - to replace Huang Taiji from the Ordos tribe who followed Tumut wholeheartedly and become one of the new five rulers.
Burihatu immediately offered him two strategies, both of which were adopted by Tumen and implemented immediately.
In the first strategy, Tumen Khan spread suspicion and pretended to immediately recapture Chahanhot and returned eastward in large numbers. In fact, he made a right hook and sent a large force from Shanhaiguan to Qi Jiguang's headquarters in Daning to deliver supplies. A large baggage train was beaten.
In this battle, the Ming Dynasty lost a large amount of grain, gunpowder, and projectiles. Fortunately, Qi Jiguang brought enough muskets, and Chang Ang ran away without much loss, so he did not ask for more muskets this time, otherwise The trouble may be bigger.
In addition, the personnel losses were not light. More than 3,000 Ming army infantry were wiped out, and not a single one escaped. After a defeat on the grassland, where could they escape from the Mongolian cavalry?
By the time Qi Jiguang sent out troops to rescue, Tumen Khan had already fled without a trace with his army. Qi Jiguang's current mission was still to stick to Daning and wait for the next instructions. It was impossible to pursue him, so he had to return to Daning City. , and alerted the capital and Liaodong at the same time.
But in this era, you can't call the police. No matter how fast Qi Jiguang's messenger is, he can't reach Tumen Khan who was prepared in advance. By the time Li Chengliang received the news in Guangning, Tumen Khan's army had already wiped out the northern part of Guangning. The side of the Great Wall goes directly to the Liaohe Hetao.
Li Chengliang did not expect that Tumen Khan would leave Chahanhot and run to the east of Liaodong. He was afraid that this guy wanted to kill him, and he was also worried that Tumen Khan would fight him to the death in order to regain his position. Although Li Chengliang was fierce, After all, the core number under his command is only 40,000 riders. If Tumen Khan goes crazy and wants to fight with him, even if he can win with the advantage of firearms, the loss will probably make him cry to death.
So Li Chengliang hesitated for three or four days, and then he gritted his teeth and ordered his troops and horses to chase east. When he swore an oath, he said that "Loulan will never be returned until it is broken" - this was Li Chengliang's own statement.
In fact, when Gao pragmatic learned the news later, he was very suspicious that he did it on purpose, because in terms of time, including Tumen's "jump start" before, Li Chengliang was six or seven days behind Tumen. What if Tumen wanted to do , it’s been done a long time ago.
In fact, Tumen did it, and he did it brilliantly - he met up with the only remaining family of Duoyan Sanwei, the Huahua Department, in the Liaohe Hetao, and then advanced all the way to the northeast, and finally broke in from Zhenxibao Within the Great Wall, the Tieling Guards were beaten to a pulp.
Is Tielingwei any different? Yes, Li Chengliang is from Tieling, and the ancestral graves of recent generations of his family are there.
Tumen did not dig up the ancestral graves of the Li Chengliang family, but what he did was no worse than digging up the ancestral graves - he took a large group of people under Tielingwei's rule to the location of the Li Chengliang family's ancestral graves, and then dug up the ancestral graves in front of tens of thousands of people. With human face, he personally went to the grave of Li Ying, the first ancestor of the Li family in Tieling, Li Chengliang, and then asked his subordinate leaders to urinate on the graves of other ancestors of Li Chengliang to vent their hatred, and finally let all these people go. .
In the battle of Tieling, the Ming army lost more than 2,000 people, and the civilians were killed and wounded. The details cannot be determined at the moment.
When Li Chengliang heard the news, he was so angry that he lost his temper on the spot. If it weren't for the many sons and godsons around him, he would probably have fallen off his horse.
After waking up, he immediately ordered his master to write a memorial and report it on his behalf, and he immediately rushed towards Tieling - in fact, he knew that it was definitely too late.
