Chapter 38 Evil Retribution
Yuan Chonghuan led his troops into the customs and chased behind the buttocks of the Jiannu army and circled around, but did not fight. It was not until the Jiannu army reached the capital city that he hurriedly led the troops to the capital city.
This battle was also a famous change in history. As a result, Chongzhen summoned Yuan Chonghuan for the third time on the platform and asked him why he wanted to kill Mao Wenlong and made Daming break his arm. Why did he shoot all the arrows into the army of the friendly army outside the capital in the name of helping the battle, and injured Mangui. Yuan Chonghuan Zhang I can't answer.
Therefore, in Chongzhen's anger, he issued a decree to sentence Yuan Chonghuan, that is, Ling Chiyu City!
In this era, most of the Ming people's views on Yuan Chonghuan, they think that Yuan Chonghuan is a secret thief. Some people think that Yuan Chonghuan is the main battle on the surface, but in fact, he is the main one, leading the construction slaves into the customs, and the soldiers under the city put pressure on the Ming court in order to be able to preside over and negotiate slaves.
However, Yu Xiaotian and his men analyzed that these may not be the truth. In his opinion, Yuan Chonghuan did not necessarily want to betray the country on purpose. This person was still meritorious before. At least during the Apocalypse, he presided over the Ningyuan victory and Ningjin victory. Although the actual results of these two battles were not as those of what Yuan Chonghuan himself said. It was brilliant, but at least it stopped the construction slave army from going south.
However, after being revived by Chongzhen this time, Yuan Chonghuan can say that he has not done many things to do since he took office. Instead, he has made a series of stinky chess. First, he wanted to kill Mao Wenlong for his personal power and relieve the great trouble of Jiannu's confidants. Then, because of negligence, the Jiannu army entered the gate and the army came to plunder. Under the capital city.
The opportunity for the construction slave army to enter the customs this time was really good. It happened that Yuan Chonghuan mobilized the defenders around Jizhou back and forth, causing the Ming garrison in Jizhou to be empty, so that the slave army came, so that the heavy town of Jizhou could not send enough troops to intercept the construction slave army.
No one can explain why Yuan Chonghuan did what he did after learning that the Jiannu army had sneaked into the customs. What he did during this period is really difficult for people to doubt his purpose. He ordered General Zhao to lead an isolated army to help, but he did not send reinforcements, causing Zhao Shujiao to be trapped in the enemy's formation, and finally the whole army He fought to death without exception.
Then knowing that the Jiannu army had entered the customs in time, he did not send heavy troops to strangle the Jizhou area as Sun Chengzong said, preventing the Jiannu army from going outside the capital city, threatening the safety of the Beijing division. Instead, he took a large number of Guanning troops and followed the Jiannu army around everywhere, but he never followed Jiannu. The army fought, even if there was no battle, just chasing the Jiannu army for more than ten days, and drove the Jiannu army outside the capital city.
No one can make it clear. Yuan Chonghuan learned that the Jiannu army had run to the capital city and led the army to the capital city in a hurry, but he did not lead the Guanning army to attack the Jiannu army, but even sat aside as the friendly army Man Gui led the army and the Jiannu army, but did not give assistance.
It's enough not to help, but under the imperial edict, he finally took action and ordered the arrows to be fired, but the Guanning army under his command shot most of the arrows on the head of the Ming army led by Man Gui, so that the general Mangui had several arrows and was almost killed by the Guanning army on the spot.
This series of things is really confusing, and it is difficult to guarantee that others will think about bad things. In addition, Chongzhen's own personality is suspicious and fickle. This time, he was fooled by Yuan Chonghuan to say that he had given high hopes for Yuan Chonghuan for five years, but after Yuan Chonghuan took office , took enough food and salary, but ran to kill Mao Wenlong first.
Less than a year later, Yuan Chonghuan didn't even see the matter of Liao, and half an acre of land was not recovered, but the army of the construction slaves rumbled into the pass and killed the city of his capital in one breath.
I'm afraid that no one can accept such a reality. What's more, Yuan Chonghuan assisted Mangui to fight outside the city under his eyes, but such a guy came behind Mangui's army.
This kind of thing is even more confusing and impossible to figure out, so anyway, it is not too much for Yuan Chonghuan to kill him in this era when he has made such a big mistake.
As for Yuan Chonghuan and some people who say that Mao Wenlong has the intention of self-reliant and self-reliance, in Xiaotian's view, it's even more bullshit!
Mao Wenlong's lonely division hung on the Liaodong Peninsula and repeatedly fought against Jiannu. With a small amount of food and salary, he raised many people and Dongjiang soldiers. In the situation of poverty, he persisted for so many years and made repeated achievements to recover a large number of lost land. After repeatedly conquering the Jiannu city, he carried out against the soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners. Slaughter the city.
It can be said that the hatred between Mao Wenlong and Jiannu has reached an incompleability. Without you, without me, without you! To say that he has a self-falling heart is simply a fart! If he really surrenders to Jiannu, it is estimated that Jiannu can bite him to death.
It is said that he is self-respecting and self-reliant, and it is even more stinky! Mao Wenlong led a lonely army to hang alone in the place where birds do not lay eggs. There are continuous natural disasters. In addition, the influence of the small glacier era, it is cold there. There is no food to eat, and there are no resources. It depends on the limited grain and salary support in Daming. Why can it be self-reliant? Is Mao Wenlong's brain broken?
So Yuan Chonghuan's killing Mao Wenlong is simply a super stinky move that he wants to do for his own power!
But with this, Yuan Chonghuan colluded with Jiannu, and Yu Xiaotian didn't believe it, because Yuan Chonghuan himself has been appointed as governor in the Ming Dynasty, and Daming is the current orthodox. No matter how he looks at it, his strength is much stronger than Jiannu's side. There is no reason for him to secretly surrender to Jiannu, because Jiannu can give him, absolutely than Chongzhen gave him more, and Chongzhen also gave Yuan Chonghuan enough trust.
If Yuan Chonghuan defected to Jiannu, it only means that his brain is broken, but why did he do so many stupid things?
Then it can only show that Yuan Chonghuan is not as heroic and smart as people think! At first, he ran his mouth and tongue and fooled the emperor about bullshit for five years. In fact, when he understood, he also found that he had said too much! In fact, he can't flatten Liao for five years, but he has already said it. It's too full to cover the water.
So he could only find a way to continue to fool and integrate resources. Even if he could not calm Liaoning in five years, he would at least make some achievements, so he mobilized his troops out of the customs and transferred most of the army around Jizhou from the original defense.
It happened that the slave chieftain Taiji was also a very smart guy. As soon as he took office, he killed his confidant Mao Wenlong first. At this time, he was completely relieved, because he knew very well how big the threat Mao Wenlong was to his hinterland. As soon as Mao Wenlong died, the Dongjiang army became A plate of loose sand is no longer enough to worry.
It happened that Huang Taiji may also have found out that the Ming army forces in the area of Jizhou Town in Guannei were vaped by Yuan Chonghuan, so he took such a cruel move to Daming.
Yuan Chonghuan was originally full of ambition and wanted to do something, but suddenly the army of construction slaves rushed into the pass and knocked in under his eyes. This time, he was shocked. As an official of the Ming Dynasty, he knew very well what this kind of thing meant, which can be said to be his serious dereliction of duty.
So for a moment, Yuan Chonghuan was confused and completely confused. Next, he was dizzy and didn't know what to do. As a result, he took the stinky chess step by step. When he ran to the capital city, he saw the strength of the Jiannu army and was afraid to lead the army to the death.
As for the incident of Guanning's army accidentally injuring Mangui with arrows, Yu Xiaotian believed that it was true. At that time, Yuan Chonghuan and Mangui's armies were not under unified command, and the battlefield was in chaos. In the chaos of Guanning's army, it may not have a good opportunity, or some Guanning army generals may have a grudge with Mangui's soldiers in private. As a result, the arrows were released randomly, no matter who you shot, but in the end, you injured Man Gui and accidentally injured the friendly army.
So in the eyes of Xiaotian, Yuan Chonghuan is not the national hero respected by future generations, but he is not a complete traitor like what some people say. It can only be said that Yuan Chonghuan is a great achievement, and his practical ability is not as powerful as he brags about, although he also wants to make a career. However, he did not have that ability. As a result, his self-confidence expanded, and he was placed in a position that should not be placed by Chongzhen, which led to forgetfulness for a while, which eventually led to his tragedy and the tragedy of Mao Wenlong and even many people, including Mangui, who became the victims of his boasting.
Such a person is destined to become a tragic figure, so being killed also has a certain self-inflict factor and can't blame others.
However, because of his various mistakes, this time caused endless disasters to Daming, which also led to the complete collapse of the whole Dongjiang Town. The rebellious people of Mao Wenlong's subordinates were dissatisfied with most people of Yuan Chonghuan's killing Mao Wenlong, which also led to many Mao Wenlong's betrayal to build slaves in the future.
Since then, Jiannu has also completely eliminated a big trouble behind him, and he can cove the customs unscrupulously.
In addition to the deterioration of the war in Liaodong, what makes the court feel more headache is the Shaanxi's changes. Since the end of the Apocalypse, Shaanxi has been suffering from successive years of drought and the people are not living. In addition, the imperial court has increased day by year, but does not want to give relief. In order to complete the faction, officials are even more rampant. Throughout Shaanxi, there have been large Human tragedies such as hungry people, starving everywhere, eating each other, and eating each other are happening every day.
Under the convocation of some strong people, a large number of hungry people rose up and began to plunder everywhere. In the first year of Chongzhen, in order to save some of the funds consumed by the post station, Chongzhen issued an order to abolish the post station, cleared the postmen, and finally forced a cow man to Liangshan, that is, the famous Li Zicheng.
