Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

In the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, Yan Yingyuan's term of office had expired, and the imperial court was preparing to transfer him to Yingde County, Shaozhou, Guangdong to serve as the chief registrar.

This is elevated.

Although he is only the ninth rank - he has already entered the officialdom and become a member of the rank.

Some people always say that officials in the Ming Dynasty can only work as officials for the rest of their lives...

Actually——

Prejudice - when did it disappear?

They also said before that the creation of Tiangong was fake and the massacre in the early Qing Dynasty was also fake!

Aren't these things the so-called "conspiracy theorists" that have become a consensus because of their persistent shouting?

Brothers, being a little ahead is called advancement.

If you are too far ahead, you are called a monster!

Going to be burned at the stake...

For example, if I take this book out ten years later, it may be the consensus.

Take it out at this time - it can only be labeled a "conspiracy theory"!

However, without the perseverance and perseverance of my ancestors who were willing to dig into their faces, I would not have been able to understand these truths!

(This is not something I dug out, but I combined the piecemeal digging done by my predecessors, combined with historical data, to integrate these truths into a whole!

One person really doesn't have that much ability.

Some people call us "pseudo-historicalists", but I prefer to call us - truth restorers.

In this circle, there are doctors charging forward, burying their heads in documents, and restoring the truth word for word.

Those of us are just playing drums from behind.

Including the current great masters on Douyin, they are all advocates of integrating the previous materials.

It's just that some people have idol baggage, but I just have a straight temper. )

If I want to avoid being scolded, if I want to follow the crowd...

When will these truths become a consensus?

Someone has to be the forerunner!

At the very least, the brothers who have been influenced by me will choose to believe it when they see similar remarks in the future!

The general trend is accumulated bit by bit.

……

They said that the household registration policy of the Ming Dynasty imprisoned the people and was a bad policy that harmed the people!

——Zhang Juzheng, a soldier, became the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty!

(⊙o⊙)...

It's very sad!

On a whim, I did some statistics and found that there were more than 500 people registered as Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty Army, about 600 people.

You know, the total number of Jinshi in the entire Ming Dynasty was less than 5000.

(One talks about people, one talks about people, the other talks about people.

The reason for the difference is that there are also Jinshi who passed the examinations of Joseon, Annan and other vassals.

Note: The above statistics do not include the Nanming period. )

Jinshi from military households accounted for almost one-fifth!

I had never studied this direction before, and I was instantly stunned.

I am Nima!

It turns out that I am also biased against Daming!

I have always thought that the number of military households in the Ming Dynasty who passed the imperial examination should not be too many...

Who knew, the proportion was as high as nearly one-fifth!

Live and learn, the ancients will not deceive me!

……

Yan Yingyuan was promoted to a high position and entered the officialdom. He was originally going to take up the post happily——

However, Yan Yingyuan's mother fell ill at this time.

So, he stayed in Jiangyin.

This delay led to the dramatic changes in Jiashen!

A small ninth-grade official who has not yet taken office is worse than sesame seeds!

In Jiangnan, where everyone is busy, who cares?

What's more, you, Yan Yingyuan, are from the north!

The northerners, who had been suppressed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, still wanted to enter the officialdom of Jiangnan after they established the new dynasty?

Without the protection of father and brother - just stay cold!

Jiangnan officialdom:

Hey!

A humble official, but a northerner who excels in martial arts...

Can you get into the eyes of our great master?

In this way, Yan Yingyuan has lived in Jiangyin to this day.

In this way, Yan Yingyuan has been living at the foot of Shashan Mountain in Jiangyin for more than a year...

Zhu Youjian wanted to use Yan Yingyuan to protect Jiangyin, but also deliberately ignored this person.

Until Zhang Guoyuan arrived.

Just brought Zhu Youjian's new appointment!

……

For Lin Zhiji, he and Yan Yingyuan are the same kind of people.

However, Yan Yingyuan won the hearts of the people of Jiangyin because he eliminated several groups of desperate pirates when he was in office.

Because he helped a powerful man, he was able to board the ship of the local powerful man.

Especially the wealthy families in Zhutang Township are very good friends with them.

(Note: Nothing is achieved overnight.

Isn't this what the ancients said about "the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people"!

The Jiangyin defense battle presided over by Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun was able to persist for 81 days because of the support of the local maritime trade clan.

Historically, when Yan Yingyuan presided over Jiangyin affairs, he had to be supported by 600 men from Zhutang.

These are 600 strong men armed with weapons and ready to fight.

To put it bluntly, they are private soldiers and horses in maritime trade.

The people in the sea trade who licked the blood on the tip of the knife were already fierce. With the leader, they naturally burst out with strong fighting power.

Of course, the biggest achievement is to replace him with a qualified leader!

A flock of sheep led by a tiger can defeat a pack of wolves led by a sheep! )

Although Yan Yingyuan cannot get involved in major Jiangyin affairs, he can make decisions on some matters within his responsibilities.

Even after he left office, the local aristocratic families still had good relations with him.

In this way, although Yan Yingyuan lives in Jiangyin, his family is considered wealthy.

There are hundreds of Hakkas in each family alone.

(Note: Yan Yingyuan fought fiercely for a long time until Jiangyin city was defeated and Yan Yingyuan committed suicide by throwing himself into the pond.

There are more than a dozen servants following him. )

[Before he died, he was later tortured by Aixinjueluo Boluo, the three kings in charge of politics, all night long, and tortured to death...]

Yan Yingyuan's situation is much better than Lin Zhiji's "Lin Papaya"!

At the foot of Sand Mountain, Yan Yingyuan rented a garden and lived here.

After the news of Lin Zhiji's arrival was spread among the disciples, Yan Yingyuan immediately went out to greet him.

Yan Yingyuan, who was tall, with a tiger's back and a monkey's waist, smiled brightly, cupped his hands and said:

"Unknown county magistrate is here. Yan didn't come far to welcome him. He also asked the county parents to forgive him."

(Note: Yan Yingyuan is tall and burly, known as Guan Gong. During the Jiangyin defense battle, he was followed by pro-army soldiers carrying swords.

The Qing army was timid because of this, and there is a record that "it was like meeting Guan Gong, two groups fighting". )

"Haha, this guy knows how to tell jokes. Mo Ze is just a Lin Papaya. How can he be regarded as Menze's parent official!"

Hu Jianren, Lin Zhiji, has a strong accent that would have been hard to understand if Yan Yingyuan, a Tongzhou native, had not heard it so many times.

"Old parents are joking. At least in Yan Yingyuan's place, the county magistrate is the parent official of Jiangyin."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Lin Zhiji raised the wine bottle in his hand:

"Jian (bi) Heng (character name of Yan Yingyuan), maybe he gave up a meal of food and wine and left me to die?" (eating is called death in Fujian)

The two were old acquaintances, and Lin Zhiji spoke much more casually.

"Diabeng, Diabeng."

With a smile on his face, Yan Yingyuan stretched out his hand to invite Lin Zhiji inward.

Food and wine are all ready-made.

Not long after, the cook brought wine and food, and the two sat opposite each other.

The waiter had just poured wine for the two of them, but had not yet served the glasses.

Yan Yingyuan's expression suddenly changed!

He reached out to pick up the hard bow on the wall.

Yan Yingyuan had excellent archery skills. At first, the sea pirate Gu Sanmazi led hundreds of warships to harass Huangtian Port, a good port in Jiangyin.

It was Yan Yingyuan who stepped forward and led the crowd in formation. He personally held a strong bow and fired three arrows in succession.

In the rough and undulating ship, there were three veteran bandits in heavy armor who fell down at the sound.

With only three arrows, Gu San was so pockmarked that he no longer dared to take advantage of Jiang Yin.
