He used infantry and cavalry to delay the captive army for a day and a night, and all the generals in Guangxi were killed in battle, creating precious time for the people in the capital to evacuate.
In the 11th year of Chongzhen, Biandong Zidi was kidnapped from the east. Sun Chengzong, the former governor of Liaodong who was at home at home, led his family and the people of the city to defend the city to the death.
In the end, they were outnumbered, Gaoyang City was breached, all the men and servants of the Sun family died in battle, all the women threw themselves into the well, and Sun Chengzong, the commander-in-chief, died in battle.
Because Sun Chengzong's commander-in-chief had repeatedly hit Dongyao, the Dongyao bandits vowed to kill the Sun family.
As a result, Sun Dushuai's only baby boy, who was less than a hundred days old, was trampled to a pulp.
December of the same year
Commander-in-chief Lu Xiangsheng led Tianxiong soldiers and Dongyao to fight against Julu. The supervising army feared the enemy like a tiger, and the mercenaries failed to save them.
Tianxiong officers and soldiers fought bloody battles for seven days and seven nights, and then the entire army was wiped out because they ran out of ammunition and food.
Lu Xiangsheng was the commander-in-chief until his death in battle, still wielding a big knife and shouting to kill the enemy.
Chongzhen 16 years
Chuangni led the army to conquer Tongguan, the commander-in-chief Bai Guangen and Chen Yongfu surrendered to the bandits, making the bandits unstoppable.
Knowing that he would die, Commander-in-Chief Sun Chuanting still led the Three New Army out of the customs with less than ten days of training, and fought a decisive battle with the army of rogue bandits south of the Weishui River.
The combat effectiveness of the new army was insufficient, and the number of personnel was very different. As a result, Sun Chuanting was defeated by the rogues with superior forces.
When the war was defeated, the rogues coerced and lured Dushuai Sun Chuanting, trying to get Dushuai Sun to surrender.
But after Sun Chuanting scolded the bandits, he bumped his head against the stone tablet to death..."
……
"My Ming Dynasty has many loyal souls and heroes, so I won't describe them one by one today.
If I forgive Wei Zaode and others today.
Then how can I face those loyal souls who died in battle.
Those soldiers who died in battle, if they heard about this under the Nine Springs, how could they rest in peace.
When all the soldiers died heroically, what were you literati doing?
Either stabbing the heroes in the back, fighting among themselves, or even begging for mercy from the bandits and captives in order to survive.
You all listen to me and remember well, if there is someone for no reason and without any evidence.
Pointing fingers at my loyal martyrs who fought on the front lines in Ming Dynasty, withholding food and wages, and adding so-called obstacles, I will definitely destroy your ten clans.
For the sake of those loyal souls and heroes who died in the Ming Dynasty, these scum and traitors must be killed today.
If someone dares to intercede, I will kill you and destroy the three clans, and I will be guilty of the same crime as Wei Zaode and others.
Now I would like to ask, is there anyone among you who pleads for these traitors, and stand up for me immediately. "
Li Banghua and others were shocked by Zhu Youjian's upright and majestic words, and at the same time, they were speechless, filled with guilt, and knelt down to the ground.
They wanted to say that everyone knew that Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting had died in battle long ago, but who were those two standing in front of them?
Although I have doubts in my heart, who dares to ask at this time, wouldn't that mean courting death?
Although Li Banghua and others dared not speak, Zhu Youjian guessed their thoughts. Since they couldn't explain it, then they didn't explain it. Keeping some secrets would be more deterrent to him.
Thinking of simply killing Wei Zaode and others, it seemed too cheap for them, so he changed his mind again, and today he wanted these officials to see what would happen if they betrayed Daming.
"Come here, send Wei Zaode and the rest to the temple for display, so as to warn those corrupt officials and future generations. I want to see who dares to follow in their footsteps."
"obey"
Jin Yiwei took the order in unison, picked up the soft bones and left, Wei Zaode and others desperately shouted for mercy, and the hall was full of ghosts and wolves.
Li Banghua and other literati had never seen such a tragic scene before, all their faces were trembling, and they dared not even vent their anger, let alone plead for mercy.
In this way, dozens of important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, including Wei Zaode, the chief assistant of the cabinet, were all stripped of skins, ransacked their families and wiped out their families.
The so-called skin-filling is to take out their internal organs and bones, fill them with hay, and send them to the temple for display for future generations to admire.
Seeing the performance of Li Banghua and others, Zhu Youjian smiled coldly, who said that the rumor officials of the Ming and Qing Dynasties would not shoot to death, and waved to Yuhuatian.
Yu Huatian immediately understood what the emperor meant, walked quickly to these loyal souls of the Ming Dynasty, and handed each of them a note.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the emperor was up to, they opened the notes one after another to watch.
When they saw the content on the note, their faces changed drastically.
It turned out that the contents of the note in their hands turned out to be the list of the ministers' property. Although it was not very accurate, it was similar.
How many officials in the Ming Dynasty are not greedy? An upright official like Hai Rui has ten thousand acres of land (this is well-founded)
Chapter 46 Forming a New Cabinet
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die for my crimes, I just ask the Emperor to forgive our family because I did not betray Daming.
" Li Banghua, Ni Yuanlu and others all prostrated themselves in front of Zhu Youjian, repeatedly kowtowed and pleaded guilty, with the example of Wei Zaode in front.
Now these loyal souls of the Ming Dynasty dare not pray for their own lives, they only hope that the emperor will let their family members go.
Compared with those traitors, Li Banghua's approach is much more rational than Wei Zaode and others.
Zhu Youjian looked at the ministers in front of him coldly. He didn't believe that he couldn't conquer the hearts of these people. Today Zhu Youjian will let them know what it means to be kind and powerful.
Waving again and slapping the table fiercely, Zhu Youjian suddenly discovered that the Longshu case had already been broken into pieces, so he had to slap it hard on the dragon chair:
"Hey, it is said that the income of Ming officials is not high, and they are far behind other dynasties. If you are not greedy, you will not have enough to eat. In my opinion, it is farting.
Not only do you have an official reputation, but you also have land. Are you really that poor?If it weren't for the sake of your loyalty to Daming, I would send you all to exile for three thousand miles. "
Zhu Youjian's words made many officials collapse to the ground in an instant, and they almost had no hope for the survival of their family.
They are very clear that the current emperor has completely changed, has become strong, and is no longer perfunctory. For the safety of the family, it is best to plead guilty and fight for the lightest punishment.
"Your Majesty, my humble minister is stupid, and I ask the emperor to punish me, and my humble minister has no complaints."
Seeing that the ministers were frightened by him, Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing secretly:
"Let's get back together, pass on my will, the past is over, from today onwards, if you find out that you have done things that harm my Daming and the people, you will go to accompany Wei Zaode and others.
I don't want to pursue your past, but there are conditions. Within two days, I will give 50% of the silver taels you embezzled and hand over all the land you have occupied.
I have also made some concessions, increasing the number of all officials by 20% on the original basis. I hope that the previous things will not happen again. "
