An inventory of the sinners who have subjugated the country in the past dynasties, Lao Zhu’s number

【Yuan Chonghuan became famous all over the world. Everyone thought he would become a successful person, but he finally chose to resign. The reason was naturally the eunuch.】

【Yuan Chonghuan's recommender was a member of the Donglin Party, and his master was a member of the Donglin Party. How could Wei Zhongxian watch Yuan Chonghuan become bigger? Under Wei Zhongxian's operation, Yuan Chonghuan still left Ningyuan, and Liaodong once again fell into a leaderless situation.】

【Until Chongzhen executed Wei Zhongxian and cleaned up the eunuchs, facing the threat of Jurchens outside the Pass, Chongzhen once again activated Yuan Chonghuan】

【Yuan Chonghuan was summoned by Chongzhen in the capital. Chongzhen asked Yuan Chonghuan extremely excitedly how many years it would take to ping Liao?】

【Without even thinking about it, Yuan Chonghuan said that within five years, Liao would be able to level up.】

【Chongzhen was overjoyed to see Yuan Chonghuan being so confident. For Chongzhen, the Jurchens in Liaodong were now his biggest concern. As long as he could regain Liaodong, he would be the master of the Ming Dynasty's resurgence.】

【Now Yuan Chonghuan has promised himself that Liao can be pacified in five years, which means that Chongzhen still has only five years to become the master of ZTE.】

【In excitement, Chongzhen immediately appointed Yuan Chonghuan as Minister of the Ministry of War and Supervisor of Ji Liao. This was almost the largest official position in the history of the Ming Dynasty.】

【Needless to say, the most important one is the Minister of War, Ji Liao, which means that the governor of Liaodong, the governor of Denglai, and the Jizhou area are almost all under the jurisdiction of Yuan Chonghuan】

【But is Yuan Chonghuan really capable of pacifying Liao in five years? of course not!】

【Today's Houjin has been managed by Nurhaci and Huang Taiji from a loose tribal alliance to a feudal imperial court. Both its combat effectiveness and dominance have been greatly strengthened.】

【With the current power outside the Ming Dynasty, it is almost an impossible task to pacify Liao within five years.】

【After the platform was summoned, Xu Yuqing once asked Yuan Chonghuan for advice on the matter, asking him how to level Liao in five years?】

【And Yuan Chonghuan’s answer was: Let’s talk about comfort!】

【In other words, Yuan Chonghuan did not have a detailed battle plan at all, he was just talking nonsense.】

【Xu Yuqing was stunned on the spot. He asked Yuan Chonghuan:"How can you waste your time when you are wise?" In the future, I will be punished on schedule, what can I do?】

【Yuan Chonghuan replied: I am ashamed of myself.】

【The awesomeness has been blown out, even if it fails, there is nothing we can do】

【Just like that, Governor Yuan took office. The first thing he did when he took office was to ask for 800,000 taels of silver from Chongzhen.】

【The Ming Dynasty had a population of tens of millions, but the Ming Dynasty's finances were in deficit every year, and the treasury was empty. Chongzhen tried hard to maintain it, but it was just enough, and there was no 800,000 taels for Yuan Chonghuan.】

【But even so, in order to support Yuan Chonghuan's five-year Ping Liao plan, Chongzhen tightened his belt and collected 300,000 taels of silver for Yuan Chonghuan. It can be said that Chongzhen was doing his best to support Yuan Chonghuan.】

【After getting the money, the second thing Yuan Chonghuan did after taking office was to install his confidants and appoint Zhao Lijiao, He Kegang and Zu Dashou as general soldiers respectively to take charge of the military power in Liaodong.】

【The third thing Yuan Chonghuan did was to get rid of Mao Wenlong, and it was precisely because of this that Yuan Chonghuan was killed!】

【Mao Wenlong was a native of Hangzhou, Zhejiang. When he grew up, he joined the army in Liaodong and led troops to aid North Korea as a captain.】

【Later, after Liaodong fell, Mao Wenlong's retreat was cut off and he had no choice but to escape by sea. However, Mao Wenlong, who escaped, did not return to the Ming Dynasty. Instead, he turned around and attacked Hou Jin's rear.】

【At that time, the guards of the Later Jin army were lax, and Mao Wenlong took advantage of the situation and killed hundreds of the Later Jin army. This was the only victory of the Ming Dynasty against the Later Jin army.】

【Mao Wenlong immediately reported his victory to Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong. Wang Huazhen was overjoyed and appointed Mao Wenlong as the commander-in-chief, stationed in the rear of the Hou Jin Army and constantly harassed the Hou Jin Army.】

【In the subsequent Ming-Jin wars, Mao Wenlong repeatedly attacked Houjin from the sea and always achieved good results. Therefore, Mao Wenlong's officialdom also became bigger and bigger.】

【From the chief military officer, he was gradually promoted to the left governor, hung up the seal of general, bestowed Shang Fang with a sword, and established a military town in Pidao, named Dongjiang Town.】

【Although Mao Wenlong's territory was small, it played an important role in involving Hou Jin's attack. It was precisely because of Mao Wenlong's involvement that the Hou Jin army did not dare to attack the Ming Dynasty in full force.】

【It's just that Mao Wenlong's territory was isolated overseas, and he never listened to the announcement. He repeatedly lied to the Ming court about military information, exaggerated his military exploits, and asked for supplies from the court, which aroused Yuan Chonghuan's strong dissatisfaction.】

【On June 5, the second year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan, holding Shang Fangjian, killed Mao Wenlong on the twin islands near Lushunkou.】

【Mao Wenlong's death shocked the government and the public. Although Mao Wenlong was arrogant, he was the governor of the left and a real first-class official in the court. Even if Yuan Chonghuan was holding Shang Fang's sword, he was not qualified to kill him first and then report him.】

【Although Chongzhen did not blame Yuan Chonghuan for this matter, a thorn had been planted in Chongzhen's heart.】

【After Mao Wenlong's death, the Hou Jin Dynasty completely lost control. The Jurchen leader Huang Taiji was almost crazy with joy. He immediately mobilized a hundred thousand troops and decided to go south to attack the Ming Dynasty.】

【In October of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji came fiercely】

【This time Huang Taiji didn't hit Guan Ning's defense line directly. After all, Guan Ning's defense line was too hard. His father had knocked his life in, but he couldn't knock back even a brick.】

【But the level is dead and the people are alive】

【This time, Huang Taiji passed through the Guanning defense line and attacked the interior of the pass from the Horqin Mongolian tribe. He destroyed the Great Wall and then broke through the wall.】

【This was a raid recorded in the annals of military history. Huang Taiji fully demonstrated his military talent. It took him half a month to run from Liaodong to Liaoxi and then to Mongolia. He arrived at Zunhua, the important town of the Ming Dynasty, at the end of October.】

【Zunhua is located northwest of the capital, only more than 200 kilometers away. Once it falls, the capital will be undefendable.】

【Yuan Chonghuan just woke up from a dream at this time, but a big mistake had already been made. He quickly sent troops to intercept Huang Taiji.】

【But this time Huang Taiji sent out 100,000 troops, and Yuan Chonghuan only sent less than 10,000 people. How could he stop 100,000 people?】

【General Zhao led his teachings to death on the spot. On November 5, Zunhua fell.】

【Afterwards, Huang Taiji bypassed Jizhou and advanced towards the capital.】

【The situation was extremely urgent. Huang Taiji finally led an army of 100,000 troops to the gates of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Chongzhen was furious.】

【Just two years ago, Yuan Chonghuan still swore to himself that he would level the Liao Dynasty in five years. But now two years have passed and countless silver has been spent. Not only has he not recovered an inch of land, but he has also allowed the Jin army to attack the city of Beijing. This is simply It's a great shame】

【As an extremely proud emperor, Emperor Chongzhen placed all the blame on Yuan Chonghuan. If he hadn't killed Mao Wenlong, Huang Taiji would not have dared to attack the Ming Dynasty with such fanfare.】

【But at this time, Chongzhen still held back. He dismissed Wang Qia, Minister of War, and appointed Sun Chengzong to command the defense of Beijing.】

【Under the command of Sun Chengzong, the Ming army finally repelled the Jin army. In the process, Yuan Chonghuan also fought bravely to kill the enemy, but this was the last time he went to the battlefield in his life.】

【After this battle, Yuan Chonghuan was thrown into prison by Chongzhen, and then he was cut into pieces with a thousand swords and executed in Lingchi!】

【After Yuan Chonghuan's death, the Liaodong war situation became hopeless. The Ming Dynasty could only defend the Guanning defense line to resist Hou Jin's entry, and gradually entered a chronic death. 】
