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

This issue……

It has nothing to do with Zhang Fengyi!

It stands to reason that the Qing Dynasty bypassed the Liaodong city fortresses that cost hundreds of millions of silver to build, and still went deep into the Ming Dynasty to rob.

This is a strategic mistake.

The officials who pushed hard to build a city in Liaodong at the beginning should pay for it!

Just like the big companies of later generations, the decision-makers who invested a lot of working capital but failed in the investment should not have to pay for it?

However...

In the late Ming Dynasty, special girls were so rare!

Zhang Fengyi, who opposed the construction of a city in Liaodong, became a scapegoat!

The Tatars bypassed the Liaodong defense line and attacked Shanxi. Chongzhen was furious and ordered all ministers to be blamed for their crimes.

In order to protect themselves, the big bosses - Shanxi Governor Dai Junen (a well-known upright official and a capable minister), Datong Governor Hu Zhanen, Xuanfu Governor Jiao Yuanqing, were dismissed from their posts, and Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng was dismissed.

but……

These people are ministers in charge of Shanxi and Shaanxi, but they are not the real culprits!

Chongzhen was naturally dissatisfied. Knowing what was going on, he asked Zhang Fengyi, the minister of the Ministry of War, to tell the culprit:

"The emperor thought it was too easy, so he blamed Feng Yi for being like this."

When the courtiers saw this step, they all impeached Zhang Fengyi for his inhumane behavior.

Zhang Fengyi was impeached by the officials and had no time to take care of himself...

Chongzhen knew exactly what was going on. To put it bluntly, the root of it was still with Sun Chengzong!

It's a pity that Sun Chengzong is the emperor's master and he can't do anything easily. That's why he wanted Zhang Fengyi to come forward and reveal the matter.

Therefore, in the face of the impeachment of his ministers, Chongzhen directly chose to remain silent and indifferent.

The emperor's meaning is already obvious...

If the situation remains unchanged and continues to develop, it may not be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to come back to life!

It's a pity - the hemp rope was broken at a small point again!

Immediately afterwards, as soon as July arrived, the Tatars approached Shanxi. On the [-]th, they broke through Fangfang Fortress and captured Xuanfu Wanquan's left guard...

There are more tricks to impeach Zhang Fengyi!

At this time, the recruited peasant army also rebelled. (This timing is great!)

Chen Qiyu panicked and made several stupid moves in an attempt to get rid of the blame...

However, how could the courtiers who were determined to find a scapegoat allow him to get away with it!

Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces...step down!

Zhang Fengyi's arms were cut off, and his authority was greatly reduced!

There is no right or wrong in politics.

At this time, there were Dongbu ravaging the Shanxi and Shaanxi areas outside, and the peasant army inside was even more powerful. There was a severe drought in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan for several years.

Chongzhen, eager to maintain stability, had no choice but to transfer Zhang Fengyi out of the capital to serve.

Being transferred away from the court, to a certain extent, is not to protect him...

Not long after, Zhang Fengyi died in the military.

Under the Spring and Autumn writing style of "History of the Ming Dynasty", he actually ended up with a reputation of being ignorant of soldiers!

Ridiculous, pitiful, and deplorable!

Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou, and Lu Xiangsheng were all promoted under his recommendation...

He said he didn't know how to fight. After being transferred out of the court, he even wrote a statement saying:

The bandits will definitely dig up the Fengyang Imperial Tomb to build a reputation and ask the court to send people to defend it...

Zhang Fengyi asked Yang Yipeng, the governor of Jiangbei, to guard Fengyang and protect the imperial mausoleum, but Wen Tiren, the first assistant, refused to listen.

A few months later, in the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong indeed excavated the Fengyang Ancestral Tomb...

(Zhang Fengyi's "Juzhu Shanfang Collection" and "Shu Zheng Lu" are extant, which were listed as banned and must-destroy books by the Qing government. After a little research on these two books, you will know that Ming Dynasty Zhente Niang's story is indescribable...)

……

The invading army took all the land in Shanxi and Shaanxi, but Chen Qiyu did not join in the rebellion.

So he carved a mountain into a house by the Yellow River, named it Diaoyutai, and lived in seclusion.

Sun Zhenglan found Chen Qiyu at the construction site of Chen Qiyu's stone house by the Yellow River.

At this time, Chen Qiyu was already 50 years old. He was among the people but worried about state affairs. The hair on his head had long since fallen out, leaving only the long hair above his ears and on the back of his head.

"Brother Sun, why are you here in Guide?"

Chen Qiyu's expression changed drastically.

Sun Zhenglan laughed and pointed at the narrow cliff on one side, gesturing for the two of them to go over and talk.

Chen Qiyu pursed his lips at the servant on the side.

Two servants immediately stood guard at the entrance.

"Brother Chen, Your Majesty summons you!"

Sun Zhenglan cupped his hands toward the south.

Chen Qiyu's expression changed: "Brother Sun, what do you mean?"

Why did Sun Zhenglan salute to the south?

Sun Zhenglan was also stunned: "Brother Chen, you don't know?"

Chen Qiyu's two-year-old monk was confused. Li Zicheng's army had all taken Shanshan and headed towards the capital.

News from Beijing has been cut off for a long time. How could he know anything?

Sun Zhenglan saw that Chen Qiyu did not seem to be faking it, so he told a series of things about Li Zicheng's siege of the capital and the emperor's escape from the capital.

……

Chen Qiyu rubbed his temples and tried his best to digest this earth-shattering news.

He thought about it:

"When your Majesty goes to Nanyang, he must first capture Yuzhou, Wuguan, and Xiangsui. Only by blocking the gate to the Nanyang Plain can we develop with peace of mind and then pursue other plans..."

Sun Zhenglan smiled:

"As expected of Brother Chen, he thought it through in an instant!

Your Majesty told me the same thing when I came here! "

"His Majesty is so intelligent that he can naturally see this."

Chen Qiyu nodded and praised the emperor, and then said:

"When Li Zicheng occupied Xi'an last year, the general who stayed behind in the Jingxiang area was Bai Wang, and the three towns in Wuchang were occupied by Zuo Liangyu. Has the situation changed now?"

Since His Majesty has summoned him, he will naturally come out.

However, it was not Chen Qiyu's style to go back in disgrace.

He wanted to try to see if he could pull something out of the fire and return to the court with his achievements!

Sun Zhenglan said:

"At this time, Your Majesty thinks that Nanyang has been completely taken, but Yuzhou is empty. It will not be troublesome to take it back.

If His Majesty had planned well, he would have recaptured the Shang Yu Division by now, and at least blocked the exit of the Shang Yu Ancient Road. "

Both of them are knowledgeable soldiers who have done military preparation. They can clearly see what the current situation is like by making some calculations.

Therefore, although Sun Zhenglan went north, Zhu Youjian had not yet crossed the Yellow River.

However, Sun Zhenglan's calculation of Zhu Youjian's power turned out to be terrifyingly accurate.

Chen Qiyu understood.

In this case, if he wants to go back with his achievements, he can only go to the south...

He chuckled: "In the past ten years, I have been studying the story of the Three Kingdoms a lot."

Chen Qiyu looked at Sun Zhenglan and continued:

"Do you know if I have ever made up my mind to learn from someone once I am called back to the DPRK again?"

Sun Zhenglan frowned: "But Kong Ming and Pang Tong?"

"Ha ha!"

Chen Qiyu shook his head and chuckled: "If I do it, I will do that poisonous scholar Jia Xu!"

Chen Qiyu said this sentence word for word.

He has seen through this world!

He has been thinking about this issue since he was demoted.

Over the years, he has seen clearly that if he can come back again, then he will be that poisonous person!
