Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

On June 25th, the ninth year of Chongzhen.

"My lord! You must not go out of the city!" The prefect of Nanyang held Tang Wang Zhu Yujian's horse tightly, almost crying.

"Get out of the way!" Tang Wang Zhu Yujian raised his horsewhip and roared: "My Zhu family is in the world! There are barbarians on the outside and bandits making trouble inside. It is time for me to wait for the sons and daughters of the Zhu family to rise up. What reason do you have to stop the orphans?" Out of town?"

Seeing that the Nanyang magistrate was still holding on to the reins, Zhu Yujian ordered: "Pull the magistrate away." During the desperate struggle of the Nanyang magistrate, several guards of the palace pulled the Nanyang magistrate aside.Zhu Yujian swung his whip and took the lead to rush out of Nanyang Fucheng.On the other hand, General Sun Wei secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hid behind the officials without saying a word.

Knowing that the old Hui returned to Ma Shouying and entered Nanyang again, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, who felt full of wings, immediately led the three thousand soldiers he had recruited to prepare to go out of the city to fight.However, the magistrate of Nanyang and Sun Wei took the civil and military personnel in the prefecture to the gate of the city to stop them, but they were stopped by the guards of the king of Tang. Wang Zhu Yujian violated the court decree and left Nanyang Fucheng.

It wasn't until Tang Wang Zhu Yujian walked away with his soldiers and horses that those civil and military officials helped the prefect of Nanyang who had collapsed on the ground.One of the officials asked, "My lord! What shall we do?"

The magistrate of Nanyang, who was still in a daze, immediately came to his senses. He shouted: "Send someone to write to the court and the governor quickly! Don't delay, let's go now!"

On the 28th, Henan Governor Li Xianfeng learned of this shocking news. On the one hand, he also sent a fast horse to report to the capital. Both the Runing Battalion of Yu Zilian and the Ruzhou Army of Yu Zilian stopped their operations and garrisoned on the spot.Violators will be punished as rebellion.

Henan Supervising Army Xiao Yuegui also quickly dispatched Supervising Army eunuchs and Jin Yiwei to each branch of the Ming Army to prevent those Ming troops from disobeying the governor's order.

Li Xianfeng and Xiao Yuegui were afraid that the Ming army near Nanyang would collude with Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, and they would rebel against Emperor Chongzhen together.So at this time, the battle with the peasant army was also put aside.After all, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian is a prince with royal blood. If the flag of rebellion is erected, the appeal will be too amazing, so we must eliminate this biggest threat first.

On July [-]rd, about [-] miles north of Ye County, in the camp of King Qin's army of Runing Army.

"Did you make a mistake? Did King Tang take the wrong medicine? What nonsense? The officials in Nanyang are all shit eaters? This officer, the Runing Army, has only walked a few steps, so they are going to stay here. When will you be able to move? Eunuch Ye, you should give me a letter?" Wu Shigong was furious.

In the big tent, except for the officers of the Runing Army.There was also a father-in-law sent by Ye Zhong and Xiao Yuegui, the supervisor of the Runing Army.The two eunuchs also looked helpless and looked at Wu Shigong with a sad face.

In this scene, Ye Zhong was the only one who spoke: "General Wu! Put the fire away, as long as the emperor issues an imperial edict, everything will be fine. The miscellaneous family knows that General Wu must be loyal to the emperor, and you also take the trouble to restrain your subordinates and let them stay here rest for few days."

Wu Shigong went on to say: "Our Runing Army must be honored. We will not stir up trouble. But the orders given by the Governor and the Superintendent are too deadly! Even a horse is not allowed to leave the camp. You know, Shaanxi The bandits have already entered Nanyang. We can’t even send out horses, so that our own safety can’t be guaranteed? Isn’t this just nonsense?”

Ye Zhong was very used to Wu Shigong's big mouth, so he was indifferent to the disrespect towards King Tang, Li Xianfeng and Xiao Yuegui in Wu Shigong's words.But Eunuch Ma couldn't listen anymore, he said in a sharp voice: "The miscellaneous family came here to keep an eye on General Wu. Since General Wu has no friendship with King Tang, why not stay for a few days? Your Excellency Governor He and the military supervisor have their own decisions. It is not you and other military officers who can violate the order. This order is not lenient! No offense!"

Seeing Wu Shigong raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry, Ye Zhong, who was familiar with Wu Shigong's temper, hurriedly stopped Wu Shigong.He immediately eased his forehead and said: "General Wu is not to blame for Eunuch Ma's responsibility. But this order is a bit overkill. General Wu should also send some scouts to check the enemy's situation. Just let the fans who came with Eunuch Ma take care of it. What do you think, Mr. Ma?"

Seeing that Eunuch Ma was still hesitating, Ye Zhong introduced to Eunuch Ma again: "General Wu is from the capital. His father is Marquis Wu who is in charge of the capital camp, his father is Marquis Xue, and his wife and son are all in the capital. Eunuch, please rest assured."

With this introduction, Eunuch Ma remembered Wu Shigong's identity, so he finally nodded and agreed with Ye Zhong's suggestion.

Wu Shigong slumped on his chair with no strength, and said weakly: "In this case, it's like a holiday for us! I have already arranged a banquet for the two father-in-laws, and there is also a small gift for the two father-in-laws. Here it is. Regardless of the flood outside, let's have fun first!"

Eunuch Ma's brows immediately relaxed, and he thought to himself: "Why didn't this martial artist say it earlier? Otherwise, why would I make things difficult for you?"

After Tang Wang Zhu Yujian led the army out of the city, he took the initiative to find the peasant army to fight. When he met Ma Shouying's partial division with only more than 4000 people, he was immediately defeated. The Tang King's army was almost wiped out. Wang fled back to Nanyang Fucheng alone.

When Emperor Chongzhen got the news, he was also shocked, and he immediately issued an imperial decree: to arrest Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, the prefect of Nanyang and Sun Wei.And ordered the surrounding Ming army not to take care of other affairs for the time being, and first surrounded Nanyang Fucheng to solve the problem of Tang Wang Zhu Yujian.

When the Runing Army received the imperial edict on July [-], it immediately drove in the opposite direction to Nanyang Fucheng, and surrounded Fucheng at the same time as Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army.Afterwards, the imperial envoys who came from the imperial court in person brought Jin Yiwei and soldiers into the city to announce the decree, and successively arrested the whole family of Tang Wang, the prefect of Nanyang and Sun Wei.Then the whole family of King Tang was sent to Fengyang for confinement, and the prefect of Nanyang and Sun Wei were also sent to the capital for punishment.The farce ended like this.

However, this farce stopped the military operations of the Ming army near Nanyang for more than half a month. Taking advantage of this gap, the peasant army who returned to Ma Shouying also entered Henan smoothly.Although Zhu Yujian, king of the Tang Dynasty, wanted to make a difference, the result of what he did was not enough to succeed and more to fail!

Moreover, what King Tang did also made it too late for the Henan Ming army to go to the capital to serve the king, making it easier for the Manchu army led by Azig to gallop around the capital.

But for Emperor Chongzhen, who was worried about the Manchu army, the first thing he heard was great news. (To be continued..)
