People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 145 The general of Liaodong is so majestic! Killings in the street at the city gate! !

Qi Jiguang smiled on the side and said: "Captain, don't look at Han Jin who is young. He is a member of the Han family, the general of Liaodong."

Chen Han turned back and glanced at him: "Liaodong General?"

"Yes! Liaoyang Han family!" Qi Jiguang replied.

Chen Han still remembered a lot of information about Liaodong generals.

The formation and development of Liaodong generals were formed during the continuous strengthening of Ming Dynasty's rule over Liaodong.

The earliest can even be traced back to the early Hongwu period when Liaodong was established.

For example, Zu Shirong, the distant ancestor of the Ningyuan family, joined the army in Chuyang with Zhu Yuanzhang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

When the city of Ningyuan was built in the fifth year of Xuande's reign, his grandson Zuqing moved there, thus establishing a ancestral family that played an important role in Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty.

Other similar ones include the Tieling Li family, the Liaoyang Han family, the Cui family, the Yizhou Ma family, the Qiantun Yang family, and the Fushun Tong family who is not a general but is also a big family in Liaodong.

Especially the Tong family, which defected to the Manchus in the late Ming Dynasty. It was a prominent family with several queens.

There were many people from the powerful clans of Liaodong who sacrificed their lives for the Ming Dynasty in the past dynasties. However, as their power continued to expand,
They occupied farmland, enslaved the troops, and turned soldiers into servants. Their interests in the survival of the family even outweighed their loyalty to the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Don't talk nonsense about Nurha Chitian being wise and wise. Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, could crush him to death in minutes like he killed his father and grandfather.

The establishment and expansion of the state was purely due to Li Chengliang's self-respect to support the bandits.

He built Kuandian Six Forts to separate Nurhaci from the Ming court, allowing him to integrate the various ministries outside the border wall. He continued to use troops against the Haixi Jurchens and Mongolian ministries, weakening these people and finally being annexed or united by Nurhachi.

When the wings of the wild boar skin had matured, he abandoned the Six Fortresses and moved more than 60,000 Han households inland and killed those who refused to move. He gave away the 800 miles of Liaodong land to his hands, which made Nurhachi the Great Yingming Khan.

During the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Qing Dynasty, the opposition of powerful clans became the key to the victory or defeat of the Liaodong War. The generals of Liaodong relied on their servants to fight, and regarded their servants as the basis for their livelihood.

Li Chengliang had tens of thousands of family members, and when it was passed to Li Rubai, there were more than a thousand people.

Wu Xiang and his son had three thousand servants and came to the throne. They were also married to the ancestors of Ningyuan, and they became the horns of each other.

But when the war came, the Ming army was defeated again and again. One of the important reasons was that the military was unstable and the people were uneasy, and they would be in chaos without fighting.

Before each war, some powerful families with military power competed to move their families south.

If the general has no fighting spirit, the army will have no fighting spirit.

"The infantry camp retreated for a moment, but the soldiers and horses looked for the wind and ran ahead. The general situation was chaotic and the whole army collapsed. They were not defeated by the thieves."

The Liaodong clan had indeed made great contributions to the country, so why did the Ming court fail the Liaodong clan?

Li Chengliang's nine sons were all honored as generals and generals;

Ancestor Dashou’s father and ancestors gave posthumously to the young master for four generations;
Wu Xiang and his son held important official positions;

Guerrilla general Zhu Shichang, his predecessor, was given the command of Liaoyang Dingbian vanguard in the early Ming Dynasty and has been hereditary for more than ten generations.

After the rise of the Jin army, the imperial court raised tens of millions of Liao's salaries to support Liaodong, causing refugees to spread all over the pass. Many bandits rebelled because the silver reward did not arrive.

And how can Liaodong generals serve their country?

Li Yongfang of Fushun and Zhu Shichang of Liaoyang led their troops to surrender to the enemy;

Wu Xiang abandoned his army in Dalinghe and fled;
The generals of Sarhu and Liaodong sat back and watched the Sichuan and Zhejiang guest armies fight bloody battles in Hunhe River, and were slightly defeated;

The ancestor of Daling River, Dashou, killed He Kegang and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Every scene tells the story of the shamelessness of Liaodong generals.

After visiting Yishi, except for Shanhaiguan, it was the area under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong General Army. Qi Jiguang could only stop here.

"Captain, my subordinates can only send you here. The Liaodong group is going through many difficulties and dangers. Please take care of yourself!"

Qi Jiguang's words have a profound meaning.

Thousands of difficulties and dangers?

This is how Qi Jiguang described Liaodong.

Also!

This place in Liaodong is said to belong to the imperial court, rather than to the generals of Liaodong.

They regarded this huge Liaodong as their own territory, and treated the people as their slaves, and whipped them wantonly. It is no wonder that in the later period, the people would rather join the Jurchens than be slaves under Jiangmen in Liaodong.

Although I was dissatisfied with the Jurchens led by Nurhaci, I have to mention that the generals in the late Ming Dynasty, especially the generals in Liaodong, were really outrageous.

Corruption and bribery! Fish and meat people!

Kill the good and take credit!
What they do is not as good as some aliens.

The corruption pattern and serious internal strife in the late Ming Dynasty were the reasons for the final defeat of the Ming Dynasty.

If he hadn't controlled Emperor Wanli as his puppet as soon as he arrived, he wouldn't have such a strong sense of responsibility to save such a dynasty.

Now that the entire Ming Dynasty belongs to you, you have to clean up the mess.

The group bid farewell to Qi Jiguang, left Shanhaiguan, passed through Balipu, Yong'an Fort, and Sanshan Yingbao to Suizhong City, an important town in Liaodong.

Suizhong was an important hub for trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Northeast region, with prosperous commerce and developed handicrafts. In particular, the shipbuilding and textile industries were well-known at that time.

Along the way, you can also see the coming and going of trade teams inside and outside the customs.

However, as soon as they arrived at the city gate, they heard a noise.

"Killed!"

"Really killed someone!"

"It's too miserable!"

"Shh... you don't want your life, that's a member of the Zhu family in Liaodong!"

"Then we have to go around a little bit!"

Cao Zhengchun had profound internal skills. Hearing the noise, he quickly reported to Chen Han who was sitting on the horse and still watching the situation: "Captain, someone seems to have been killed in front!"

Ok?
Chen Han frowned.

"Hurry forward!" Chen Han said.

Brother Li Rusong, who was following behind, frowned when he heard this.

It’s so troublesome!

Why did the governor see such a scene as soon as he entered his own territory? It was so embarrassing.

As I got closer, I heard the cries of a woman and a little girl.

"With the head of the family gone, how will we, the orphans and widows, live?"

"Dad...Dad...you don't want to die..."

Then I heard a scolding sound coming: "Hmph! Let you bastards resist. I really don't dare to kill you, right? Let's go... Our old man has taken a liking to you. It's your good fortune."

It’s very popular to drink spicy food in our house! "

Then there was a dragging sound.

"Go...go quickly...if you miss this auspicious day, you will all die!"

After Liu Ting obtained Chen Han's intention, he immediately drove forward.

"stop!"

The crowd dispersed, and they saw a man stabbed in the abdomen and dying beside the city gate. An old man, a young man and two women were being dragged, making whimpering sounds.

A few servant-looking people behaved evilly.

"Who are you? Dare to interfere with our Zhu family's affairs? Get out!" He was extremely arrogant.

"The blue sky and the white sun actually killed people. Is there any way to do this?" Liu Ting was furious.

The servants sneered: "Wang Fa? I'm telling you, our Zhu family is Wang Fa in Suizhong City, so get out of here!"

Chen Han came on horseback at this time and asked in a cold voice: "Did you kill this person?"

Seeing Chen Han dressed in rich clothes and with a majestic demeanor, the servants shrank.

One of the middle-aged men said bravely: "So what? Our old man has already established a rule in Suizhong City. Whenever a woman gets married, she must dedicate her first night to our old man."

This unruly man actually dared to secretly get married at night. Shouldn't he die?
Let me tell you, his husband's family has been exterminated by us. This family of three fled here and were slaughtered by us. What can you do?

Foreigners, get out of here or you will be killed too! ! "
