Yuan Chonghuan was sent to prison for two reasons.
The first is to give Jian Nu an "opportunity" to take advantage of. After all, Jian Nu's biggest headache is Yuan Chonghuan from Ningyuan.
Now that Yuan Chonghuan is in prison, the detour attack he is worried about will be greatly reduced if Yuan Chonghuan discovers it.
When word spread, it was said that Yuan Chonghuan had angered the emperor in the fifth year of Ping Liao and was therefore convicted. This is a very valid reason.
The second reason is to protect Yuan Chonghuan. If Jiannu enters the border, he is really afraid that Yuan Chonghuan will follow the old path in history.
After the Jisi Incident occurred in history, after Yuan Chonghuan learned the news, he led troops from Ningyuan to serve the king, but his actions were extremely strange.
When Huang Taiji left, he would chase him. When Huang Taiji stopped, he would stop, always hanging around behind Huang Taiji.
After great difficulty, they set up blockades in Zunhua, Jizhou and Tongzhou to intercept Huang Taiji, but all failed.
Huang Taiji directly detoured from Tongzhou to Shunyi and then to Sanhe, and invaded Beijing from the east.
After that, he asked Chongzhen again and again to allow him to lead the army into the city and soldiers from outside the city to enter the capital. This was a taboo. Yuan Chonghuan would not have known it, but he still made such a request.
The key issue is that after Jiannu withdrew his troops, Yuan Chonghuan did not pursue Jiannu and insisted on leading troops into the city. This is simply incomprehensible.
Therefore, among the nine sins he obtained, he allowed the enemy to march forward, stopped fighting without fighting, gathered four reinforcements and dispersed them, left the city with few troops, and secretly brought lamas into the city, insisting on inviting them into the city.
These five charges are all related to the changes in Jisi. If Yuan Chonghuan follows the same old path again, should he be killed or not?
Killing, but Yuan Chonghuan was meritorious in Liaodong, especially the victory at Ningyuan, etc., which equaled to giving Ming a chance.
But without killing, the crime of allowing the enemy to advance without fighting is real.
Since we can't be sure, we might as well lock him up and wait until the troops who enter the prison to build slaves are surrounded and killed!
But outsiders did not know the emperor's plan. They only knew that Governor Ji Liao was imprisoned by the emperor. Although he did not dare to talk openly, private speculations were flying everywhere.
As for the protagonist of the incident, Yuan Chonghuan, he was currently walking in the prison of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. This is a prison affiliated to the Ministry of War, and usually only people in the military are imprisoned.
The sergeant who was locked inside suddenly found that the dungeon door was wide open, and several jailers hurriedly entered carrying brand-new mats, tables, pens, inks, paper, inkstones, etc.
A moment later, a middle-aged man in red official uniform walked among several royal guards and entered the innermost room directly.
Li Ruolian looked at the cleaned cell and nodded: "Master Yuan, I have offended the emperor because of what he did. If you need anything, just call and they will do their best to satisfy you!"
"Commander Li, you're welcome!"
After Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, he entered the cell directly, and then closed the cell door.
Li Ruolian also shook his head when he saw this. As long as he was in this cell, he couldn't care about anything else.
After Li Ruolian left, the prisoners started talking through the cell door.
"Who is this? Such a big deal, they even cleaned it up and replaced it with new items!"
"I don't know who it is, but I just vaguely heard the prisoner calling Commander Li. If I heard correctly, it should be Commander Li Ruolian of the Jinyi Guards."
"Hiss... the commander of the Jin Yiwei personally escorted him. Which big shot can enjoy such treatment?"
"The commander of the Jinyi Guard escorted him, tsk tsk, shouldn't this be going to the imperial prison? How come he was sent to the Ministry of War Prison?"
"Supervisor Yuan, who is it? Yuan Keli? But the age doesn't seem to match up? Is there any other person named Yuan who can be a supervisor?"
"Brother, you came here before July last year, right? Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, judging from his age and height, it should be him!"
"Let me go, why did this big boss come in? What's going on? It doesn't make sense. No wonder the commander of the Jinyiwei is so polite. He is a hero!"
"Bah! If he hadn't won the great victory over Ningyuan and restored Ningyuan, he would have been killed just because of his previous friendship with the Eunuch Party!"
"Everyone be quiet, Commander Li said, keep absolutely quiet!"
The jailer trembled when he heard this, and immediately shouted angrily.
Who knows what secret information these fearless people will come up with in a while.
No one's words were as effective as those of Jinyiwei commander Li Ruolian. Sure enough, the sergeants who were still chattering just now shut up instantly.
In the cell, Yuan Chonghuan apparently heard the discussions of the sergeants in other cells, and his expression began to change.
Although he said something big about five years of Ping Liao, he didn't expect that the emperor would be so angry and put him in prison.
"Could it be that the emperor is using today's incident to make friends with the eunuchs before he liquidates me?"
"Or is it just because I lied?"
"Or find a quiet place for me to write Ping Liao Ce? Do you want to test me?"
"Does the emperor suspect what I did in Liaodong? Otherwise, why did he let the British public sit in Shanhaiguan and lock me up now to investigate me?"
…
Thoughts arose in my mind.
He didn't know how long it took, but he was awakened by the sound of the cell door opening. A jailer entered carrying a large food box and placed some wine and food on the table.
Smelling the aroma of wine and meat, Yuan Chonghuan was in high spirits: "I don't want to think about it anymore. Eat and drink enough, and then finish writing the Ping Liao policy and submit it to His Majesty!"
After muttering to himself, he started to devour it.
Two quarters of an hour later, he picked up his pen and started writing.
For several days, apart from eating and sleeping, he spent the rest of the time writing Ping Liao policy.
He found that deep in the cell, his thoughts were smoother than in Liaodong, and he could now understand things that he couldn't understand before.
Two days later, Yuan Chonghuan told the jailer that the Ping Liao policy had been written. Half an hour later, the brand new Ping Liao policy was delivered to Dongnuan Pavilion by Li Ruolian himself.
Chongzhen looked at the thick stack of Pingliao Ce with a look of thought in his eyes.
Dozens of pages of Ping Liao policy summarize the city in three sentences: Use the Liao people to defend the Liao soil, and use the Liao soil to support the Liao people; defending is the main thing, fighting is the strange thing, and money is the side effect; the law is gradual, not sudden, but real. Virtual.
The new Ping Liao policy shows Yuan Chonghuan's thorough understanding of the situation in Liaodong.
Use the three hands of persistence, battle, and peace at the same time, not seeking temporary gains or losses, but seeking long-term success.
This policy for pacifying Liao advocated a protracted war with Jiannu, which was contrary to the pacification of Liao Dynasty five years ago.
It can also be seen from this that Yuan Chonghuan's troops are good at defense, not offense.
Chongzhen placed a new Pingliao policy on the Long Case. If he had not traveled through time, this new Pingliao case would be suitable.
Unfortunately, before it could be implemented, Huang Taiji led his troops to attack the Ming Dynasty via Mongolia. After Jiannu withdrew his troops, Yuan Chonghuan was killed by Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty, where is Governor Yuan?"
"Let him stay well!"
Chongzhen waved his hand and whispered: "Is there any movement over Jiannu?"
