Now, after all, it is different from the original version. The original version of Hong Chengchou was deeply favored by the emperor. He led hundreds of thousands of troops and nine edge elite. He fought a decisive battle with JianNu. As a result, he defeated the battle and was captured by JianNu. Finally, he shamelessly took refuge in JianNu and helped Tartars fight their own people.
This is a traitor and traitor. At any time, it is very humiliating and disgraceful. Even if he becomes a senior official and returns to his hometown, he is despised by the people in his hometown. Even his mother is unwilling to admit that this is his son.
At this time, the division between China and foreigners and national defense is a very important thing. It can be said that it is a matter of principle and a matter of cardinal right and wrong, and most people will not be vague.
Most of the people in this era have regional views. Even if they are poor, they will discriminate against and despise foreigners. This is one reason why most people say that people are separated from their hometown. Even people in the Ming Dynasty, let alone build slaves, is a very humiliating thing.
But now, Hong Chengchou is taking refuge in the Chinese army, which is only an internal rebellion, not an alien invasion. Although Liu Yuanqiao's rebellion, his attempt to usurp the throne, and the success of the rebellion are very disgraceful, it does not involve the national position, the defense of Hua and Yi, and the major right and wrong. After all, Daming has perished.
For many ordinary people, on the land of Middle Earth, the changing King flag at the head of the city, you sing and I come on stage, which is also recognized and accepted by them.
There is an old saying that the emperor takes turns to come to my house this year, which is not good! From Lao Zhu's house to Lao Liu's house.
In the eyes of most people, who is the emperor is not the emperor. People have to pay taxes after all. Only by making people live a good life, this is an important thing.
So Hong Chengchou knew his reputation was bad, but when he returned to his hometown, he would not be rejected by his hometown parents. He still had the face to go back to see his mother and his ancestors.
Moreover, as a person with ideals and aspirations, he does not want to bury what he has learned in his life. If he can lead dozens of troops to re-enter Shaanxi, calm the local area and restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, he will not be able to live up to what he has learned in his life, that is, he will become a second minister in the future. However, with these contributions, he can offset his negative reputation. Therefore, Liu Yuanqiao's requirements, He readily accepted it.
After Liu Yuanqiao appointed Xiao Ning and others, he also began to deploy in all aspects.
For example, send people from all walks of life to Henan to besiege Zhu Xieyuan's headquarters in Henan.
On the one hand, he ordered Yang Sichang, who had surrendered, to be the governor, and ordered him to lead the streamlined headquarters to go south to Huguang and attack Guangdong and Guangdong.
For the troops returned from the Ming Dynasty, they still chose to let them perform their tasks to calm the rebellion in other places, but did not order them to attack Zhu Xieyuan's department.
For Zhu Xieyuan's troops entrenched in Henan, they chose to let Liu Zhongyong, Li Dingguo and others lead the troops to siege. In terms of Huguang, the northern region has basically been under the rule of the Chinese army. Only in the area south of Dongting Lake, the banner of Daming is still hung. Although the Chinese army has sent envoys to contact officials in these places, I hope the other party can recognize current affairs as heroes, lay down their weapons and turn fighting into friendship, but the officials in these places are still waiting-and-see.
Liu Yuanqiao was not used to these people. He sent a large army to the south along the official road. If the other party surrendered, he would be given fame and wealth. If the other party resisted tenaciously, he would send a large army to wipe it out.
In the past, the Chinese army was always limited by the lack of troops, but when the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang surrendered, plus his own new recruits, the Chinese Army's troops had reached millions. At this time, they were really not short of troops.
Therefore, they can blossom in all directions and continue to pursue and kill the remaining enemies. For example, Yang Kang, who calmed down Sichuan, was originally prepared to go to Henan to participate in the siege of Zhu Xieyuan's department. However, Liu Yuanqiao finally decided to appoint Yang Kang as a general of Jingbian, LED his troops from Sichuan to Guizhou and took Yungui and other places.
In this way, the rest of the land in Daming is under the front of the Chinese army. The Chinese army has enough troops to attack these places at the same time. Although this place is very vast, they believe that they can dominate the world in three years at most.
When Liu Yuanqiao became the emperor, on the one hand, he deployed troops and generals to continue to pursue the remaining evils of the previous dynasty and strive for the rule of the world. On the other hand, he also began to build the team of the imperial court.
On that day, Liu Yuanqiao led his troops to the southern suburbs of the capital.
Zhang Zhifa, the first assistant of former Zhu Ming, was the civil and military officials in the court. Ten miles away, he knelt down to meet Liu Yuanqiao, welcomed Liu Yuanqiao into the capital and supported him to the throne all the way.
In the eyes of the ordinary people in the capital, it was these officials who took the initiative to welcome him as emperor, but Liu Yuanqiao knew exactly what these people were.
Although they have already succumbed to the coercion of the Chinese army, these people can only be used on the surface. It is impossible to make real use of them. Liu Yuanqiao can not let these people take charge of the power of the country and continue to make the government a mess.
It's really not the emperor's problem that Daming can have such a situation today. Since the establishment of the cabinet system, Daming has cabinet votes outside and Li supervisor Zhu inside. He can get out of the busy government affairs and enjoy a happy life. He can practice Taoism (Shizong), earn money (muzong), eat, drink and have fun (Wuzong and Shenzong).
This also means that most of the disasters were not caused by them, but by ministers. They tossed them out. In the words of emperor Chongzhen, "I am not the king of the subjugated country, but the ministers of the subjugated country!"
If these people had not fought for power and made the imperial court a mess, the Ming Dynasty would not have been like this.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these literary officials and scholars are still the face of Daming and moral gentlemen. Only Liu Yuanqiao deeply understands that these so-called moral gentlemen are actually cancer attached to Daming. Without them, Daming can still live. With them, he will inevitably die.
More importantly, although these people tired out the Ming Dynasty and gave the Liu family an opportunity to rise strongly, Liu Yuanqiao didn't thank them at all. Although he sneered in his heart and couldn't be an emperor without such help, he still didn't dare to use such people.
So he must build his own team and build a new power structure.
With their efforts, the officials of the Ming Dynasty successfully divided the world of the Zhu family into ruling the world together with the literati, and cultivated their pride.
In those days, when these people were in Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, which did not say to kneel and become kneeling, and said to worship and worship, the authority of the emperor was supreme, and they killed ministers if they wanted to.
But now it's better that these people have no fear of the emperor. When they see the emperor, they can't kneel down and worship. They just make a bow.
Moreover, they also cultivated a very pitiful atmosphere, that is, since the Jiajing period, there has been a popular trend in the imperial court, that is, only those who scold the emperor and do things against the emperor are able ministers and admonishing ministers. If everything follows the emperor's will and obey the emperor, this is flattery and shameless.
Like Yan Hao in those years, why he was scolded as a traitor was not because he was corrupt. While Yan Hao was corrupt, Xu Jie, the righteous man who fought with him, was also more greedy. However, Yan Song's reputation smelled to the extreme. This was because of the propaganda of officials that he was flattering and shameless.
This kind of thought, in Liu Yuanqiao's eyes, is extremely distorted. In Liu Yuanqiao's heart, the king of heaven and earth is the parent teacher. This is a code of ethics and the basis of morality. There is nothing wrong with listening to the emperor.
But in the eyes of these people, listening to the emperor's order is actually flattering, which is a shameless and skinnless behavior. What's wrong?
Therefore, in Liu Yuanqiao's eyes, these officials simply take up the dishes and chopsticks to eat meat and put down the chopsticks to scold their mother. What's more, these so-called scholars, clean gentlemen, can ask others like saints, and ask themselves like bitches, like being both bitches and erecting chastity archways. Where is there such a cheap thing?
Liu Yuanqiao believed that the root cause of the demise of Daming was the distortion of the ideology of the upper officials, which formed their collective corruption. Then all the officials were only responsible for the struggle for power, just looking for money and making the government a mess, which brought Daming to such a point.
What these officials say is that Daming is what it is today, and it is the soldiers who do not give them strength. If they can quickly shovel the slaves, they will suck up the bandits and shovel the Liu family. Daming will not die. Liu Yuanqiao is laughing at me. When is it all over? Even when he is still throwing the pot to others, what else will he do besides throw the pot?
Who TMD says officers and soldiers can't fight? It's not strange that they didn't receive military pay and food at Daming. Naturally, they didn't have the strength to fight and lose every battle.
After they took refuge in the Chinese army, one or two of them were as fierce as little tigers, which could explain the problem. That's why Liu Yuanqiao completely gave up his heart and despair to these people. He knew that if he still used these people and trusted them, the Chinese Empire would be one step away from extinction.
