【Chapter 646】Behind the coup
In addition to King Fu's confidants, there was another type of person who could be valued by the Northern Ming court. This type of person was the mortal enemy of the Donglin Party. In the late Wanli period, the party struggles were so fierce and cold that almost every day, officials suffered various abnormal treatments due to party struggles. Speaking of which, in the cruel party struggles, there were indeed many people who fell down by the Donglin Party. However, there were also quite a lot of other officials killed by the Donglin Party.
It seems that the Kun Party, Qi Party, Chu Party, etc. are all mortal enemies of the Donglin Party. When the Donglin Party was at the upper hand, many of them were either removed from their posts and fined their salary for various reasons, or were imprisoned for awaiting crimes, or demoted or exiled. Some were directly listed and sentenced to numerous sentences.[]
This time they finally had the opportunity to come back, so they were naturally grateful to King Fu, crying bitterly and sincerely supported him. It can be said that they were definitely incompatible with the Nanming, which was composed of all Donglin Party members.
As more and more information was sent, the situation became clearer. Xu Xingxia discovered that the ruling structure of the Beiming was composed of several parts such as the harem, the internal supervisor, the military team, and the factory guard. The harem was naturally led by Concubine Zheng. During the lifetime of Emperor Wanli, she was the lord of the harem and enjoyed exclusive favors. Other concubines were no match for her at all. Now that Emperor Wanli has passed away, the emperor who ascended the throne is her son, so naturally he has no opponents.
The internal supervisor was led by Lu Shou, Wang Tiqin, Li Chaoqin, Wang Chaofu and others. Wang Tiqin was originally the eunuch in the palace and held some power. This time he quickly defected to the Fu Wang Party, but was promoted to the eunuch of the Silijian, which was a success. As for Li Chaoqin, Wang Chaofu, they were originally the confidants of King Fu, and this time they became the eunuch of the Silijian and the eunuch of the Liaodong Governor. The power of these two positions is very great.
There is no need to say much about the importance of the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor and the eunuch in charge of the seal. What needs to be mentioned is the eunuch in the Liaodong towns. All the important towns in the Ming Dynasty were equipped with eunuchs in the nine borders. They were directly responsible for the emperor and were responsible for monitoring the movements of the military towns. Even the governors, governors, generals, etc. of each town must accept their surveillance. Therefore, they are often called military supervisors, and have the most terrifying power to take action first and then report.
The original Ningxia Town also had a large prison guard. However, the eunuch in charge was not very responsible and ignored anything except for plundering money. After Xu Xingxia got up, he decisively took his own money away. Xu Xingxia was too lazy to inquire about which corner he was hiding. I guess this eunuch would not appear again.
Among the nine major towns in the Ming Dynasty, the most military forces, the most important status, the most money and grain, the largest territory, the largest population, and the most oily and water-related one was naturally the Liaodong Town. After Nurhaci officially established the Great Jin Kingdom, the military expenditure of the Ming court in Liaodong was calculated based on millions of taels of silver. It is absolutely impossible to say that these taels of silver can be used in the end. Officials at all levels must pluck their hair.
The position of the governor of Liaodong is still above the governor, governor, governor and others. He can ask about everything, but he does not need to bear any responsibility. It is conceivable that such a position will behave like a position. The military expenditure of the Liaodong military town is afraid that more than 30% of the mistress will fall into the private pocket of the governor of this eunuch. Even if looking at the whole country, there is no position that is more abundant than this position.
Lu Shou, the former admiral of the Dongchang, was also valued by King Fu this time. Since the power of the Dongchang itself has been suppressed, the Dongchang was not very satisfied with Emperor Wanli. Whether it was the Dongchang or the Jinyiwei, they all hoped that their power would be fully driven, and did not like to be bound. In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, which secret service agencies want their power to be bound? It is best to be unscrupulous, lawless, and above everything else.
However, Emperor Wanli was not a foolish lord after all. He knew very well that it was okay to use the two lords, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, to guard the house. When you were forced to have no choice, it was okay to release them and bite people. However, if you release them and ignore them, they would likely make the whole country messy and unable to control them, and even bite their masters in turn. This has been profound lessons in history. Wang Zhen is the worst example.
Therefore, during the Wanli period, the power of the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei was always contained within a relatively reasonable range. Looking at the Wanli period, there were almost no scandals between the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei. In the Wanli period, there were almost no one who knew their names, and almost no one knew their names. Since they didn't even know their names, there was no special attack. This was definitely the most rare thing in the Ming Dynasty where factory guards were rampant. Even Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei in the Jiajing period, was criticized. This time, King Fu was criticized.
I don’t know what he promised, but Dongchang actually turned against him. Lu Shou estimated that he would actively seek refuge in King Fu before he retired. It is estimated that the whole Dongchang was full of such thoughts. Because they all knew very well that only by seeking King Fu could there be a way out. The officials of the Donglin Party had no favors for the eunuchs of the Dongchang. If His Highness Tai Chi Zi ascended the throne, the life of Dongchang would definitely not be easy. Maybe even the secret agency of Dongchang would be cut off.
Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, did not turn to King Fu. Information from all aspects showed that he should be a member of the Taijiu family. Unfortunately, the Jinyiwei itself was just a steward, arresting, killing, and extorting people, and was very capable. As for war, they were powerless. Therefore, they did not have a great impact on the coup. In front of the regular military team, the Jinyiwei was a scumbag. Even if it was a bad military team, even if it was a head-on battle, they could easily defeat the Jinyiwei.
In fact, there were also internal struggles for power and profits within the Jinyiwei, and there was constant internal strife. Sun Yunhe, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, took the initiative to surrender to King Fu as soon as the coup occurred. His actions caught Luo Sigong off guard and lost control of the entire Jinyiwei, causing people to fluctuate within the Jinyiwei. Basically, after Sun and Yunhe defected to King Fu, the Jinyiwei as a whole no longer existed. Everyone was seeking their own way out.
The final result of the debate was that most of the officials of the Jinyiwei were inclined to surrender to King Fu. Because they were also worried that after the Donglin Party took office, the power of the Jinyiwei would be greatly weakened. Perhaps, they would be liquidated. The officials of the Donglin Party hated the most was the Dongchang, and then the Jinyiwei. If the Donglin Party unified the world, the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei would definitely be revoked. Moreover, the chief evil elements of the factory guards would most likely be sentenced to death.
It is naturally self-evident that such a threat exists. Luo Sigong fell and fled to Nanjing with a small number of confidants to form a new Jinyiwei. Sun Yunhe came to power and became the commander of the new Jinyiwei in Beijing. In this way, Nanming and Beiming each had their own Jinyiwei. In order to compete for power, they were afraid that they would always be entangled. Fortunately, Nanming did not have the Dongchang organization, otherwise the situation would be even more complicated.
The military teams in the Northern Ming Dynasty were Datong Town and Xuanfu Town as the backbone, supplemented by Shanxi Town and Ji Town. The news of the split of the Ming Dynasty made the military teams in these four towns flee more than 30%. Under the oppression of the white-clad army, the number of military teams in the four towns would continue to rise. However, after all, there were still a certain number of military teams that were still stationed in various military towns. No matter how they fled, they could not all escape. It is not yet known how the Fuwang Party would use these military teams.
As for Liaodong Town, because the Donglin Party had been deeply involved, there was no clear trend yet. Liaodong governor Yang Hao didn't know if he was scared or what to do, and he never publicly expressed his attitude.
However, with the existence of the eunuchs in Liaodong, it is very likely that they will turn to King Fu. Moreover, there is the fatal factor of Nurhaci. Xu Xingxia estimated that Liaodong Town will most likely fall into the hands of wild boar skin in the last ten.
If we explain the division of the dynasty, there are actually only two people who can get what benefits from it. One is Xu Xingxia and the other is Nurhaci. Against the background of Beijing and Nanjing's competition for power, it is almost impossible for Nurhaci to conquer Liaodong. Liaodong Town was originally in a turbulent state, and it happened to be so turbulent that the domestic political situation was so turbulent. Who has the intention to fight? A crushing defeat is almost inevitable.
It is estimated that after the Wild Boar Skin conquers Liaodong, he will quickly march into North Korea and continue to expand his territory. With the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely not be able to aid North Korea. Without the assistance of the Ming Dynasty, the demise of North Korea is almost just around the corner. I wonder where Mao Wenlong is currently? What is his identity? I have to think of a way to get him.
In this coup, the biggest problem with the imperial army was the Jing camp. The Taishou did not control the Jing camp, which was definitely a mistake in the mistake, and a stupidity in the fool. During the Wanli period, the Jing camp had not yet established a special Jing camp admiral and eunuch. Each battalion had its own military general commander, which was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Five Army Governor's Office. However, each battalion had a military supervisor. The military supervisor had the greatest power and could directly appoint and remove officials. This means that only the military supervisor was the real master of the Five Military Camp, the Three Thousand Battalions, and the Shenshu Camp (i.e. the Shenji Camp).
