Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

() This magical turning point in the direction of the court actually has something to do with our protagonist Wu Shigong.

At that time, in order to determine the outcome of the Laizhou Battle, the imperial court sent a team of officials to Liu Yulie to inspect the head.As a result of the inspection, there was indeed no problem with the number of heads, but an accident occurred during the inspection.

A commander-in-chief who came out of nowhere suddenly rushed to the inspectors during the inspection, and revealed that some of the heads were not from the rebels, but soldiers under the commander-in-chief.

However, the officials inspected are mainly officials from the Ministry of War, and Liu Yulie is the Minister of the Ministry of War.In addition, Zhou Yanru attaches great importance to this inspection, so most of the officials in this team are from the faction of Zhou Yanru and Liu Yulie.So, in the end, it was suppressed.

But after the team of officials returned to Beijing, one of the officials with a sense of justice immediately disclosed the news to Wen Tiren.As if he had found a treasure, Wen Tiren immediately ordered the censor of his faction to submit this matter to the case of Emperor Chongzhen.

As soon as the news was made public, it immediately caused an uproar.Because if these heads are fake, it proves that the battle of Laizhou was not a loss for both sides, but a complete defeat.Coupled with the previous memorials of Jinyiwei and the local government to verify, everyone, including Emperor Chongzhen, was convinced of the defeat of Laizhou.

In fact, this incident is not bad news for the Zhufu faction, because it proves the strength of the rebel army.But the problem doesn't look like that.

The main reason why Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant, became the leader of the main Fu faction is that he is still the main one governing the country.But in view of the financial constraints of the Ming court, Zhou Yanru had no other choice but to take the most money-saving way of appeasement.

But Wen Tiren is different.He doesn't really care about whether to suppress or appease.Of course, in order to stand on the opposite side of the chief assistant Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren chose the main battle.

But now because of Liu Yulie's deceit, it is enough for Wen Tiren to let Emperor Chongzhen feel that Zhou Yanru has been deceiving Emperor Chongzhen.Of course, because Wen Tiren has become the leader of the main combat faction, of course he can't show the image of turning back on himself in front of Emperor Chongzhen.Therefore, Wen Tiren still insisted on the proposition of the main battle.

But Liu Yulie's hands and feet are indeed clean.When he saw a loophole, as soon as the inspection officials left, he immediately burned all the heads on the grounds of preventing the spread of the epidemic, so that there was no evidence of death.

But Emperor Chongzhen was a person who couldn't get sand in his eyes.He was already preparing to replace Liu Yulie, and he was going to send Jinyiwei Tiqi to arrest those five military officers headed by Wu Shigong who were deceitful and mutilated the bodies of friendly troops.

Seeing this, we discovered a very funny thing.This event, which is beneficial to the main support faction, can help the main combat faction to come to power.

Seeing that the situation is not good, officials like Zhou Yanru will definitely not sit idly by.They are still struggling.But at this time, another magical turning point came, the officials sent by the presiding officer came back to light!The latest battle report came from Liaodong: After eating all the civilians, Zu Dashou surrendered to Houjin with more than 1 Ming troops.Dalinghe City fell.

In fact, this incident is not bad news for the main fighters, because it shows that the Ming army can finally draw troops from the Liaodong battlefield to encircle and suppress Kong Youde's rebels.But the problem doesn't look like that either.

This defeat in Liaodong made the Ming court desperately need a fig leaf.And the "Laizhou Great Victory" was also recognized by the court pinching its nose.

Therefore, Liu Yulie's governorship was temporarily preserved.The imperial decree to arrest Wu Shigong and other five military officials was also urgently stopped.But at this time, Wu Shigong, who was leisurely and leisurely in the former army of the Ming army, didn't know that he had already made a circle on the edge of the imperial prison.However, this time, the name of Wu Shigong was firmly remembered by Emperor Chongzhen again!Of course, it was Jane Zaidixin who was the worst.

More importantly, Emperor Chongzhen's complaints about Zhou Yanru in the palace and the idea of ​​​​replacing the chief assistant have been passed on to Wen Tiren's ears through Cao Huachun's mouth.

So Wen Tiren decided not to create any more complications.So he slowed down his attack on Zhou Yanru.Besides, for the mess of the Denglai Rebellion, Zhou Yanru still has to clean up his own ass.Wen Tiren was not obliged to clean up Zhou Yanru, nor did Wen Tiren necessarily want to wipe out Kong Youde's rebels.

However, Zhou Yanru had the idea of ​​using [-]% efforts to accomplish [-]% of his hopes. He wanted to complete the appeasement of Kong Youde's rebels as beautifully as possible, and he was still fantasizing about keeping his position as chief assistant.

With the combination of these reasons, the Master Fu faction gained the upper hand in the court.

Seeing this, we discovered another very funny thing.This event, which is beneficial to the main combat faction, can help the main support faction to survive.

This really makes us sigh!Politics is really not something we normal people should play!

At this time, Sun Chengzong, who led the battle of Dalinghe City, submitted his resignation to Emperor Chongzhen.Unsafe at the end of the festival, he silently returned to his hometown Gaoyang and never came back.

It should be said that Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, was mainly responsible for the defeat of Dalinghe City this time.The main reason for the defeat, apart from the fact that the Later Jin army greatly enhanced its siege capabilities and methods under the leadership of Huang Taiji, was that Sun Chengzong miscalculated the Ming army's ability to fight in the field.

You know, the essence of fortress tactics is to have a field army with strong mobility and combat effectiveness.And this field army needs to support and take care of each other with the army in the strong fortress.If not, think of the Maginot Line known to modern people.

However, Sun Chengzong still looked at the field combat ability of Guan Ning's cavalry with old eyes. He didn't know that Guan Ning's cavalry had actually suffered a great loss in strength during the self-change, and he no longer had enough field combat ability.

Sun Chengzong left the court several times because of the political turmoil in the court, so that he could not grasp the most timely information.But it is undeniable that Sun Chengzong is still a very good military strategist.In the original history of the Ming Dynasty, the Ning Jin defense line he presided over was not broken until Wu Sangui took the initiative to let the Jin army enter the pass.The tragedy of Sun Chengzong is that his life was not at the right time.

However, the loss of Sun Chengzong was not pessimistic for Emperor Chongzhen.Because the Ming Empire is indeed a gathering of talents.A new generation of military commanders has grown up.They are Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng...
