The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 577: The Ming Dynasty Begins to Decline
[After Liu Jin's death, both the Inner Factory and the East and West Factory were abolished. ]

[Things seemed to have returned to the situation during the Hongzhi period, and at this time, something happened that was not sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for Zhu Houzhao.]

[In 1510, in October of the fifth year of the Zhengde reign, Liu Liu and Liu Qi of Bazhou, Hebei Province, started an uprising.]

……

The period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty
Liu Qi counted the people in Zhu Houzhao's hands.

The so-called "Eight Tigers" are not so much eight individuals as they are forces that are inclined towards the emperor.

Liu Jin can no longer be saved.

Once the banner of "clearing the court of corrupt officials" was raised, Liu Jin became Wang Zhen and Zhu Houzhao became Zhu Qizhen.

If Liu Jin doesn't want to follow in Jianwen's footsteps, he must die.

"Death is also valuable..."

Liu Qi felt that the eunuch's death was worth it.

With his death, the division of power in the world became basically clear.

Simply put, the emperor is now alone!
"This situation..."

Liu Qi once again thanked his father for not being a fool.

"What do you think the little emperor will do next?"

Little Liu Che raised his head, puffed up his cheeks and said:

"Should we seize the military power while the situation is at hand?"

Liu Qi nodded.

He twirled his beard and said:
"I just don't know how capable the Ming Dynasty's capital camp is."

As we all know, during the founding period of the country, the combat effectiveness of the Beijing garrison was greater than that of the border troops, but after a few decades of stability, the combat effectiveness of the border troops was greater than that of the Beijing garrison.

It all depends on the strength of the Ming Dynasty's border troops at this time...

"It's a little difficult."

……

On the canopy.

A beacon was set off in Bazhou, Hebei.

A red arrow captured Ansu County and then turned into Shandong.

He also divided his troops to plunder Henan and Shandong and attack Cangzhou.

A red exclamation mark is flashing above the capital!
The rebel army immediately marched south to attack Jining but failed to capture the city.

He then divided his troops into two groups to attack Suqian and Xuzhou respectively, and plunder Huaixi.

They plundered all the way westward, and after Lincheng, they plundered Zhaozhou and other places to the north.

After reaching Jinzhou, they divided their troops again to plunder Shandong and Henan.

……

[This mass uprising started with only a few thousand people, but in less than a year, it grew to tens of thousands! ]

[They swept across Shandong, Hebei, Henan, and Jiangsu provinces.]

[It became the most destructive riot in the north since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.]

[In August of the sixth year of the Zhengde reign in 1511, the government troops were repeatedly defeated, and the chief officer was afraid to fight.]

[Zhu Houzhao decided to appoint the eunuch Gu Dayong, who had been idle at home, as the governor, together with the famous general Fuqiangbo Mao Rui, to lead the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty border to quell the unrest with all their strength.]

[In December, due to the emergency in Henan, Zhu Houzhao, at the suggestion of the Minister of War He Jian and the eunuch Gu Dayong, mobilized the troops from Xuanfu, Datong, Liaodong, and Yansui to go south to quell the rebellion.]

……

{The origins of most uprisings in history can be clearly explained, but the reasons for the uprisings of Liu Liu and Liu Qi are very vague.}
{It is generally believed that the reason for their uprising was the result of Liu Jin's intensified exploitation of the Henan and Hebei regions, especially the Ming Dynasty's implementation of the horse policy in Hebei, which forced the people to raise horses, causing a large number of civilians to go bankrupt and be forced to rely on the powerful. In turn, the powerful were also oppressed and went bankrupt.}
{Some people also believe that this is because the imperial and government farms during the Hongzhi period were most concentrated in Hebei, and land annexation was intense. This is the final result.}
……

Great Sui.

"This stream of troops is marching very fast."

Yang Jian stroked his beard thoughtfully.

"They frequently marched south, north and west, threatening the capital and making the government troops exhausted."

"Ordinary bandits wouldn't have such insight and ability."

"These two should be powerful and poor people."

Dugu Jialuo stroked her temples.

“It’s really an eventful time.”

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Yuan snorted lightly.

He thought of the Hongzhi Restoration.

Whose family's foundation for revival is so weak.

This is to let future generations take over.

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
"We actually need border troops to come south to quell the rebellion."

Li Zhi sat on the chair.

The expression on his face was solemn.

When was the last time border troops were needed to go south to quell a rebellion?
Middle and late Tang Dynasty!
"The situation in the Ming Dynasty is worse than we imagined."...

[In 1512, the first month of the seventh year of the Zhengde reign, Liu Liu and his men attacked Bazhou again, but were stopped in Zhuozhou by the army mobilized by He Jian, and then the rebel army moved south.]

【Fuqiangbo Mao Rui was defeated in Zhending, and Gu Dayong waited and watched with his troops, not daring to advance.】

[The government troops repeatedly feared the enemy and did not advance, but frequently sought credit and reward, offering the heads of the civilians taken hostage by the rebels.]

[Since the start of the expedition, the various rewards spent amounted to more than 2 million taels of silver. ]

[In April, Liu Liu, Liu Qi and others led their troops eastward into Dengzhou and Laizhou, and plundered the Jiaodong Peninsula.]

[In the intercalary fifth month, the rebel army attacked Lijin but was repelled, and then besieged Pizhou. They moved southward, passed through Guangshan, Henan, entered Huguang, plundered along the river, stationed in Wuchang, and killed the governor of Huguang on his way to take office.]

[Immediately afterwards, Liu Liu was killed by the Huguang government troops, and Liu Qi and others entered Jiujiang from Huangzhou.]

[In June, Lu Wan led the army from various towns and rushed to Yangzhou.]

[At the same time, Liu Qi and others passed through Wuhu and Guazhou, and stopped at Langshan in Tongzhou and Fushan in Changshu.]

[In July, Liu Qi and his men once again went up the river from Tongzhou and attacked Jiujiang, but were intercepted by government troops and forced to stop at Langshan, where their troops fled in panic.]

[The rebels were forced to attack Tongzhou, but were defeated by the government troops who used fire to attack them. Liu Qi drowned himself.]

【The rebellion was quelled.】

……

Song Zhenzong period
Zhao Heng saw the opportunity at a glance.

"If the young emperor has the courage, he should switch the defenses of the Beijing camp with the border troops!"

Liu E shook her head subconsciously.

"It's not that easy. It's not easy for that group of people to control the Beijing camp. How can we let the emperor change them at will?"

"Then how can they control the emperor?"

Zhao Heng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky with deep eyes.

"That's why I said it."

"It depends on whether the little emperor has the courage."

"Because if the little emperor really does that."

"This also means that the relationship between the emperor and his civil officials has been completely torn apart."

……

Liao Dynasty - Emperor Shengzong
Yelu Longxu took a deep breath!

"Ah! This familiar smell!"

"Is that you? Da Song!"

The civil officials are powerful, while the Beijing military is weak.

Isn’t this the standard configuration of the Song Dynasty!
……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di sat on the stone pier without saying a word.

"The Beijing camp is ruined."

This incident clearly exposed a fact.

The fact is that the Ming Dynasty’s Beijing Army had declined to the point where it was even weaker than the rebels.

As an exception, the four border troops from Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong and Yansui were mobilized to enter the pass to quell the rebellion.

This is unprecedented!
"Training new soldiers..."

Zhu Di seemed to see a stagnant future.

Just like the stagnant water of the Song Dynasty.

"We must train new soldiers."

But the question is, where’s the money to train new recruits?
“Maritime transport cannot be abolished.”

……

【The uprising of Liu Liu and Liu Qi was like a trigger that triggered a series of reactions.】

[Uprisings during the Zhengde period began to emerge in droves. ]

【And the various counterinsurgency campaigns also revealed an ironclad fact. 】

[Not only the Beijing Army, but also the local military strength of the Ming Dynasty has declined. When dealing with the rebel army, they need to rely on the power of the nearby chieftains to suppress the rebellion. ]

[Another historical figure appears on the scene in response to the call of the times. 】

[In October of the seventh year of the Zhengde reign in 1512, Zhu Houzhao issued an imperial decree to mobilize border troops to defend the capital. Grand Secretary Li Dongyang and others led the Governor's Office, the six ministries, and the Ministry of Science and Technology to strongly advise against it, but to no avail.]

[Afterwards, Datong guerrilla Jiang Bin and others were summoned to the capital.]

【Jiang Bin proposed that the Beijing troops were not used to fighting, and that the Xuanfu official troops should be transferred to defend the capital, and the Beijing troops should be sent to replace them in number to guard the border, with rotation every spring and autumn.】

【Zhu Houzhao sent Gu Dayong to the cabinet to discuss the matter. The chief minister Li Dongyang and others firmly opposed it and submitted a memorial to the emperor, pointing out ten inconveniences. 】

【Zhu Houzhao directly issued an imperial decree to issue it. 】

[Afterwards, the troops from Xuanfu and Datong were transferred to Beijing for rotation.]

[Jiang Bin was able to enter the Leopard Room and was ordered to train troops in the West Palace.]

[In December, Prime Minister Li Dongyang retired and Yang Tinghe became Prime Minister.]

[In February of the ninth year of the Zhengde reign in 1514, Zhu Houzhao began to travel incognito at the suggestion of Qian Ning, Zhang Rui and others.]
