The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 791
Of course, the emperor was happy that the Ming Dynasty had opened up thousands of miles of land, and was worried about the unstoppable general who conquered the prisoners.

Year after year, Chongzhen governed the country conscientiously, but this great country went from bad to worse, exhausted and mentally tortured, Chongzhen's temples had a little more gray hair, and his back was a little bent.

The Mid-Autumn Festival of the Ming Dynasty was uneasy. Jiannu suddenly broke through Yansui Town at the end of July and entered the customs. So far, more than [-] castles have been confiscated.

Yang Sichang, Minister of the Ministry of War, is sitting on pins and needles, and the platform is right. The elders Zheng Guochang and Liu Zhilun impeach Hong Chengchou and sit in lost counties.

Except for the unshakable 30 taels of snowflake silver per month in the five years of Pingliao in the Ming Dynasty, it was the food and salaries of Hong Chengchou's men and horses that accounted for the majority.

However, the "Red Banner Army" fought successively and victoriously, while Hong Chengchou's "Hong Army" was retreating steadily, and even lost tens of thousands of horses by the bandits.

The current chief assistant, Zhang Zhifa, was actually supported by Wen Tiren, and in the eyes of the Donglin Party members, he was the Wen Party.

Huang Han, who possesses political wisdom, made a lot of effort to make Wen Tiren the top leader of "Hanjiang Province", which is equivalent to incorporating all the Wen Party.

Reusing Xu Guangqi to give the highest honor to scientists, saving Sun Yuanhua's life and supporting him to be promoted step by step, now he has a rank from the fourth rank, so that the Donglin party members from Songjiang Prefecture have fallen to Liao Guogong.

The reuse of Donglin party members Chen Qiyu and Yang Yipeng has caused many Donglin party members to change course.

Although Zhang Fengyi, Liang Tingdong, Zheng Guochang, etc. did not form a party, it is strange that there is no faction in the court. Naturally, their disciples and old officials belong to a faction. Of course, these people will wave the flag for the "Red Banner Army".

The so-called parties in the Ming Dynasty were all loose organizations, without a strict structure and iron discipline. Too many members of the parties were in a hurry, and few officials were desperate to rescue cronies.

Huang Han did not establish a party, but the "Red Banner Army" system formed a de facto party, which was called the "Red Party" in the Ming Dynasty.

If there are really members of the "Red Party" who are in danger for the benefit of the "Red Banner Army" system, the entire system can really spare no effort to rescue them without fear of sacrifice.

I believe that in the near future, the well-organized "Red Party" will outshine others, and it should be the dominant party. It is the only way for other political parties to conduct political consultations under the leadership of the "Red Party".

There is nothing wrong with this. The demise of the Ming Dynasty was not because of the stifling of freedom of speech, but because of the excessive freedom and the decline of the country's credibility and control, so that too many officials ignored the interests of the court and accommodated the interests of certain parties.

Huang Han will grasp and control the direction of public opinion,
Certain party leaders who have political ambitions but have no strategies for governing the country and the people will be investigated, and those who dare to deceive the public by "flag guards" will be arrested on charges.

The only way for the Huang Han to take the iron fist and the hegemony of power is the only way for the Ming Dynasty, which was forced to subjugate by natural and man-made disasters, internal and external difficulties, to take on a new look, and make the Han Empire break the shackles, rush out of Asia and become the hegemon of the world.

Huang Han had a showdown with Chongzhen two years ago to talk about the five-year peace of the Liao Dynasty, which was equivalent to clarifying that the "Red Banner Army" could no longer be at the mercy of the imperial power, and only through political consultation and mutual compromise could a consensus be reached.

The 10,000+ "Red Banner Army" robbed Shanxi merchants and most of the civil and military generals in Shanxi, and Huang Han bargained with the imperial court on the appointment of officials in "Hanjiang Province".

In the end, the actual official positions of the hundreds of "Hanjiang Province" officials were all re-appointed and dismissed by Wen Tiren according to the intention of the general who conquered the captives.

These behaviors are all challenging the imperial power, and the helpless Chongzhen has chosen to make concessions many times.

Tian Weijia, Minister of the Ministry of Officials who took office as a new official of the imperial court, got the official document of "Hanjiang Province". After seeing the list of officials reappointed and dismissed, he directly sent it to the emperor for imperial examination.

After the irritable Chongzhen saw the memorial in the imperial study, he was so angry that he dropped his glass on the spot.

Obviously, on the territory of "Hanjiang Province", the Ming court only had nominal jurisdiction, and could not even appoint officials. Wouldn't it become an independent kingdom actually controlled by the general Zhenglu?
The "Red Banner Army" system has developed to such a point that it is impossible to take a step back. It is really unnecessary to compromise with Chongzhen.

At this time, the content of the united front has undergone a fundamental change, uniting more people and dismantling factions such as the Donglin Party, Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, Yingshe, Fushe, and Eunuch Party by dredging the bottom line.

In order to prevent Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Yang Yi, Gu Menglin and other Jiangnan literati leaders from harming the country with empty talk.

This time Huang Han nominated the "Han River Province" officials, in addition to scientists Bi Maokang, Li Tiancheng, etc., Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, as well as Ruan Dacheng, a traitor of the Donglin Party, and Ma Shiying, a former eunuch.

Thinking back then, Ruan Dacheng was the Tianzhu star in Donglin Dianjiang's record. This person is actually the best candidate for propaganda backbone. He has no position but has some ability, and he has been eager to climb up all his life.

This person is actually very talented, and he was a famous opera writer in the late Ming Dynasty. He wanted to come to the "Red Banner Army" system to produce drama works that entertained and educated, making the promotion of positive energy suitable for all ages.

Ma Shiying is the villain in the drama "Peach Blossom Fan", and those positive characters are all traitors, but this person resolutely resisted the invasion of the Qing army, and finally died of martyrdom.

"Han River Province" selects officials regardless of their backgrounds, only their ability, not their reputation, but their future political achievements.

The selection of officials this time is completely different from the previous one. Not only did the list be sent to the Ministry of Officials for approval, but it was also written in the name of the general who conquered the captives and sent directly to the selected officials. It is estimated that many people will not be appointed by the court He will also arrive by boat.

For example, Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying, they have been dismissed from office long ago, they are unwilling to be lonely, and they are very addicted to being an official, so they are nominated by the fifth rank and they are not flocking to them?

The platform was correct, and Chongzhen discussed with the cabinet ministers, the six ministers, the left and right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other senior officials about the major affairs assigned by the officials of the "Hanjiang Province", and finally held his breath.

Because being able to release hundreds of officials at one time made the overcrowded court a lot of real shortages, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Tian Weijia was very active, which meant that he would have too many official positions for him to sell.

The rest of the court officials had no objection either. They had to send officials to the "Han River Province" anyway. It didn't seem to matter who they sent or not.

The most important point is that Chongzhen doesn't know people and can't employ people. He feels that the imperial power has become a decoration for Wen Tiren's nomination.
