Win the Ding 1617

"The strange injustice through the ages has framed Confucianism. If you regret it, the Buddha knows."

More than ten years later, before the monk Yongxin passed away with his body full of infamy, he wrote these four verses with hatred in a thatched cottage with wind leaking from all sides and a dim light, which can be regarded as a summary of his life .

He has been scolded by scholars all over the world for more than ten years, and bears the title of a famous criminal. If he knew that he would fall into this situation, he would not have given Li Zicheng such an idea when he was killed.

"King Chuang, in order to keep fit and take care of the house, the monks in our temple have to exercise their fists, feet, and weapons. In this way, injuries will inevitably occur. While preparing medicine for healing, the monks found that the The keel bones in Zhangde Mansion are the best for hemostasis, and the monks found that the ones with characters on them are the top grade. The little monk was curious, so he once looked for it."

These so-called keels are actually the plastron of the tortoise and the shoulder blades of the cow. They were excavated in the soil in Changde Prefecture, which is now the farm on the south bank of the Huan River in Xiaotun Village, Anyang County, Henan Province. Fragments of tortoise shells and animal bones, most of which are inscribed with indecipherable words.The farmers who unintentionally let them see the light of day sell these few bones as medicinal materials to drugstores.Then it turned to Monk Yongxin.Soon, these tortoise shells and ox bones with similar characters on them became the objects of appreciation in Abbot Yongxin. Money-making tool?

Therefore, under the ingenious design of Master Yongxin and his team, the tortoise shell and animal bones full of characters and characters were given a very imposing name, Dragon Bone Inscription.It is specially used to fool those good men and women who come to the temple to ask for fortune-telling. Of course, it also depends on the situation of giving and the number written in the fate book.

The world is chaotic.Countless people are precarious.When people are uncertain about their own future and destiny, they pin their hopes on mysterious powers.This keel script just came into being.

For a while, it brought a lot of money to Abbot Yongxin. Almost all the fertile land in Dengfeng County was bought by the faithful who came to donate to his temple.

It is also to better adapt to the development of the situation.Yongxin also submerged himself in carefully working on these keel bones, and compiled a booklet of keel inscription quiz.Distributed to disciples and deacons confidant monks.

According to Abbot Yongxin's idea, those jewels, calligraphy, paintings, rare books and other things are a one-off sale, and if they are sold, they will be gone. "It's better to send people to Zhangde quietly, get some food and silver, buy a large number of keel bones there, and then sell them to Nanman merchants. Just tell them that this is an ancient relic! It was preserved ten thousand years ago. This method, compared to the indiscriminate suggestion of Hao Yaoqi and others, just ransacked all the wealthy households and well-to-do households in the villages of the conquered cities and counties, and took the goods in exchange for the purchase of all the things that the rebels needed. His suggestion seems much more appropriate, at least it won't offend everyone.

Compared with the suggestion of Monk Yongxin, the method of digging up graves and digging graves adopted by Yidougu, Waguanzi and others in the mountainous area of ​​western Henan to raise military pay seems very low-key and detrimental to Yinluan.

Hearing the advice of Monk Yongxin, Li Zicheng couldn't help being very proud of how he began to accept scholars after entering Henan, "Scholars are different. Whether he is a monk or a hooligan, at least he is educated!"

Niu Jinxing, Li Yan and other scholars who were born on the right path were noncommittal about this suggestion of Monk Yongxin, but.Song Xiance, another scholar in the camp, was a little unhappy. From Li Zicheng's expression, he clearly felt the crisis.He even began to suspect that this great monk who was chanting Buddha's name and wearing cassock was a fellow in the rivers and lakes.Otherwise, how could there be such means and routines?

Over there, monk Yongxin was proudly chatting enthusiastically with doctor Shang Jiong, when suddenly, a face like an ape appeared beside Yongxin's table.

But by getting up and persuading him to drink, Song Xiance came to Yongxin's wine table.

"Brother abbot, what is the word?" Song Xiance had a drink with Yongxin.He showed him the bottom of the bright wine glass, and threw out such a sentence suddenly.

This is a slang word in the spring of the rivers and lakes.When people in the rivers and lakes meet people who seem to be traveling with them, they use such words to talk about it.

"Military Master Song. That's right, let's write side by side." Monk Yongxin's face remained unchanged, and his facial features were covered by the flickering lights.

I see!Song Xiance's mind was spinning rapidly, and he decided to talk more about this monk's background, and then decide whether to win him over to become his ally, or find a way to get rid of him.

"Receive the boss first, and the stuffing will be done soon. After filling the stuffing, go to my place to drink the leaves. Let's talk about the boss."

("Drink first, and soon after the banquet is over, we will have dinner. After dinner, go to my place for tea. Let's talk about how to get money.)

"A ligature, pointed and round?" (friend, is it real or fake?)

"Brother, of course it's sharp!" (Brother, of course it's true!)

A few years later, when the Nanzhong merchants who purchased a large number of keels revealed the consequences of this incident, the abbot Yongxin and Song Xiance, who once thought they had encountered a stupid sheep with a lot of money, were suddenly dumbfounded.

"The so-called prosperous age of the three generations does not exist! Please see the original appearance of the three generations based on the quiz of the dragon bone script provided by Elder Yongxin!"

"What is the prosperity of the three generations? Tell you a real three generations!"

Headlines with the main purpose of attracting attention appeared in the supplements of daily newspapers, weekly newspapers, and commercial newspapers in Jiangnan, and a large number of beautifully printed books and periodicals were placed in bookstores everywhere.

Although these books were quickly boycotted by scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and after they were bought in large quantities, they were burned and dismissed as fallacies and heresies, but this statement brought a huge psychological shock to the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.

It turns out that the so-called era of Yao, Shun and Yu was not a prosperous age.

Even the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were not as good. At any rate, there were still bamboo slips in that era, but in the era of Yao, Shun and Yu, they could only be engraved on tortoise shells and animal bones.In addition to divination of good and bad luck on a certain day and day, sacrifices (often divination of how many people to kill, how many cattle, sheep, dogs and other livestock), conquest, hunting, and harvest, there are also divination of weather, travel, and fertility. , children, diseases, etc.Most of them are records of divination by the Shang royal family.People in the Shang Dynasty were all superstitious about ghosts and gods, and asked for divination about major and minor matters. Some divination content was about the weather and rain.Some are for harvesting, others are asking about sickness and begging for children, and some are about hunting, fighting, offering sacrifices and other major events.It is even more necessary to kill captives and slaves wantonly as tribute to heaven. It seems that only those uncivilized savages in those wild and wild places do this kind of thing?

Didn't Prime Minister Zhuge replace human heads with steamed buns at the edge of the Lu River when he marched south?How can he be called the virtuous monarch and holy lord of the prosperous age of three generations?How is it still so savage?

The palace in the minds of many scholars has collapsed, and countless people wept in the middle of the night, and Cuo Da, who was so stupid in reading, rushed to privately sell these bookstores listed by Scholasticism in private. The fire burned down the shop.

However, Master Yongxin and Song Xiance didn't know about these things during February and March of the 14th year of Chongzhen. They just saw the keel they sent people to exchange for the keel at the price of one catty of grain for five catties of keel.Being bought by those Nanban merchants at the standard of one catty of keel for five catties of salt, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart. Such huge profits are no worse than looting prefectures and counties.

. . . . . . .

In February, for Chongzhen, he didn't know how to deal with this complicated situation.

First, in the first month of the lunar year, Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang and killed his uncle Fu Wang. There were rumors in the market that the city was destroyed and died because Fu Wang refused to pay money to reward the three armies. Liezong.Then, in February, it was reported that Li Zicheng was chasing after the victory.Go to the city of Kaifeng with victorious soldiers, ready to make persistent efforts and break through a famous city again.Beheaded a Ming prince.

Facing the city wall of Kaifeng, which is five feet thick, the Peasant Army used cave cars to cover the Funiu Mountain miners to carry out soil work on the city wall, preparing to dig holes in the city wall, either to fill them with gunpowder, or to dig out the city wall. The rammed earth inside then hollowed out the city wall, and then pulled down the earth pillars left for support with ropes, causing the city wall to collapse.He didn't want to become the inspector Gao Mingheng who ended up like Wang Yinchang, leading the army and civilians in the city to defend the city.And the king of Zhou in the city, Zhu Gongyan, didn't want to be the second pot of Fulu soup, so he took out a million taels of gold, recruited strong men to kill the enemy, and took out the grain and rice stored in the palace to make rice to pay the army.

Most importantly.At this time, the Kaifeng officials and generals temporarily put away their desire to make a fortune, and did not dare to embezzle or lose these military salaries and food too much.Only then did Kaifeng barely hold on.

The Henan deputy general Chen Yongfu and his son fought against the city.After killing two thousand rebels, Li Xianfeng rushed to rescue the guerrilla Gao Qian.Another 700 rebels were killed.Chen De, the son of Chen Yongfu, even shot Li Zicheng with a bow and arrow with a bronze tire and iron arm, but unfortunately the range was too far, and he barely hit it.Li Zicheng's army retreated to Mi County.Kaifeng was lifted.

Press the gourd to float the scoop.

The news of Li Zicheng's withdrawal from the siege of Kaifeng just came out, and Chongzhen let out a sigh of relief for the time being, but bad news about Zhang Xianzhong followed one after another.

First, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, that is, the day Li Zicheng captured Luoyang, the officers and soldiers pursued Zhang Xianzhong to Kaixian County.Yang Sichang led his own army to Yunyang, and the rest of the generals went to Huangling City in Kaixian County.The general army is as fierce as a tiger, and the participating general Liu Shijie faces the battle.Liu Shijie led his army deep into the battle, invincible.Zhang Xianzhong ascended the heights and saw that there were no banners of the Qin people, and Zuo Liangyu's army had no fighting spirit.It is to choose a strong man to sneak in the valley and ride down on a tall horse.Zuo Liangyu's troops collapsed first, Liu Shijie, guerrilla Guo Kai, and Meng Xianjie, the son of Mengruhu, all died in battle. Only Mengruhu broke through and escaped.

Immediately afterwards, on the fifth day of February, Zhang Xianzhong conquered Xiangyang City.At that time, Yang Sichang used Xiangyang as his military residence, and hundreds of thousands of salaries and armors were gathered in the city.Each door is set up by a deputy general for defense.After Zhang Xianzhong left Sichuan, he rode three hundred miles a day and night, killed Yang Sichang's envoy on the road, took his military amulet, and entered Xiangyang City with 28 horses.When the fire started in the middle of the night, the residents saw the fire and thought that the city was full of thieves, so they rushed out of the city and the city collapsed.Zhang Xianzhong held Xiang Wang Yiming at the Nancheng Tower and said: "I want to use the king's head to make Yang Sichang fall into the domain and subdue the law." Xiang Wang Zhu Yiming and Guiyang King Zhu Changfa were both killed.

In less than a month, the Ming Dynasty lost two important towns, and two princes were killed by bandits. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Chongzhen and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Facing the anger and roar of Chongzhen in the court, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were watching their noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, and mouths. They were silent like the clay sculptures in the Yasai Temple.

Just kidding, who doesn't know that the emperor in front of him has reached a point of haste in order to wipe out the thieves as soon as possible and wipe out the Liaodong rebellion.Even to the point of desperation, I wish Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other leaders of the giant bandits would be sacrificed tonight, and Shenyang would be recovered tomorrow morning.

In order to be able to achieve this goal.Governors everywhere, it doesn't matter what kind of prime minister or president you are, as long as you are not good at suppressing thieves.Or if they lose a battle, they will all be dismissed from office and sent to prison.It's fine if it's a bit of a joke, but the point is that the emperor in front of him is not only bullying the weak and fearing the hard, but also has a partial eye.

It is also a defeat, the governor, you will be taken to Beijing by the Jinyiqi school as soon as an imperial decree is issued.However, military leaders like Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong feared the enemy like a tiger many times, fled before the battle, and looted counties and counties.

In addition to bullying the civil servants who don't have soldiers and horses in their hands, what dissatisfied the court officials more is the emperor's partiality.

Zheng Chongjian, who served as the right servant of the Ministry of War and governor of Shaanxi's trilateral military affairs, rebelled against Zhang Xianzhong that day.Superintendent Yang Sichang's troops for suppressing thieves in Sichuan were not enough, so he sent his Qin army to Sichuan to fight against them. As a result, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in Manau Mountain.Zheng Chongjian withdrew his troops and returned to Shaanxi, and a grudge was planted between the two.In October, when Li Zicheng fled into Henan, Yang Sichang, in order to shirk his responsibility, went to the court, accusing Zheng Chongjian of not withdrawing his troops back to Shaanxi, or even withdrawing from the siege, and firmly buckling Li Zicheng for letting Li Zicheng out of Shennongjia Mountain. On Zheng Chongjian's head.He was stripped of his official position years ago and awaits disposal.

Is this still the system for treating court officials?Does this throw the dignity of court officials to Java?

The court officials thought of Java.Immediately, he thought of Li Shouhan who was good at Weifu and closely colluded with the eunuch party. The emperor ordered Wang Dehua to go to Nanzhong to announce the decree.He was ordered to lead his troops north to serve in front of the Liaodong Army, but he disappeared as soon as he went.

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all mentally prepared to see how the emperor would deal with Li Shouhan, who had always been a model of loyalty to the country in the emperor's mouth.

There was a dead silence above the court hall.As quiet as a thousand-year-old tomb, Chongzhen sighed, knowing that today's court meeting would have no results, and was about to announce the disbandment of the court. When he continued to fast in the palace to plead guilty to the ancestors and gods, he stood on duty outside the main hall. A young eunuch quietly appeared at the side door and winked at Wang Chengen, the eunuch who was standing next to the emperor holding a fly whisk, and the prince immediately understood.

"You monkey bastard, why did you call our family out? If there is nothing urgent, you should carefully watch out for the bamboo sticks of the Department of Punishment!"

Wang Cheng'en threatened the young eunuch, that the bamboo stick of the Punishment Department was filled with mercury, and as long as a few sticks were dropped, even the iron-hardened man would not be able to eat it.

"Eunuch, if there is no urgent matter, even if you kill your servants, you would not dare to disturb you at this time! The prince is back! Let me tell you, just now someone sent a letter from Tianjin on a flying horse, and the prince has already landed in Nigu. Come to the capital!"

"Accompanied by Wang Gonggong, there is also Uncle Li's eldest lady, who escorted two years of money and food and countless armours! What's more terrible is that Wang Gonggong came back this time and took him from the Burmese Mangying family. Let the king be captured together, and go to Beijing to offer the prisoners!"

"In addition to these, there are also countless rare and exotic beasts from overseas! The most precious of them is said to be a pair of ancient mythical beasts, called white tigers!"

"This slave girl found out about this, and immediately reported a letter to Eunuch without touching the ground, so that you can make preparations."

The little eunuch showed his loyalty to Wang Chengen with his whole face.

Although Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen are both heads of eunuchs and eunuch leaders, they have the same attitude in dealing with those Donglin and Qingliu censors. Even Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen themselves did not believe it.

Just half a month ago, Wang Dehua ordered his confidant, the eunuch, to send a badge of victory to the capital, along with the various seasonal fruits and rare lychee, mangosteen, rambutan, etc. that made people drool. Apart from presenting it to the emperor, they also sold it in the capital in a big way. Five shipments of the latest fruits were sold at the price of eight taels of lychees and one silver dollar.

During the first lunar month, honorable ministers from all over the country were going to visit each other to treat each other to a spring wine, which caused a sensation all over the city.It seems that if you don't write a sentence on the big red clay gold post for the invitation, "there is a good fruit from the southern country, I want to taste it with my husband."

Wang Dehua never mentioned such a huge profit in his letters.If it hadn't been for Zheng Zhilong, the Fujian general who accompanied him to Beijing, to give Wang Cheng'en a portion of the ship out of righteousness, Wang Cheng'en might not be able to deal with the eunuchs under him.

Such an ugly eating appearance naturally made Wang Chengen dissatisfied, and his confidantes were even more furious. They were gearing up to fight against Wang Dehua's troops, but they were suppressed by Wang Chengen.

Now, Wang Dehua has returned with such a huge achievement, just when the imperial court is being overwhelmed by the rogues in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the imperial court needs a victory to boost morale and refresh people's hearts!

"Your Majesty! Wait a minute and retreat! This servant has just received the latest news! Uncle Ningyuan and Uncle Li have a victory report and money and grain, and they are already being transported in Nigu!"
