Regarding this matter, there are other historical books that can serve as evidence. The details are explained in more detail.
"The superior ordered the internal inspector to recruit Chonghuan. Chonghuan was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he said: 'The general is in the army, and the emperor's orders are not accepted. Since the superior has appointed me, I will have my own punishment, why call me again? I will not be guilty of listening to the words of others.
I want to come in. I have to pay for the gold. The second prisoner Wang can give me the pledge before I can return.' The second prisoner was ordered to leave the city. Chonghuan ordered the army to guard Weigong Temple. Yi Qingyi came in. The king took off his mink fur and silver armor and gave them to him.
But retreat."

The records in this book are even more shocking.
It means that the emissary came and asked Yuan Chonghuan to enter the city to meet the Holy Spirit. For some unknown reason, Yuan Chonghuan was very resistant and refused to enter the city to meet Chongzhen.
The messenger didn't say anything, but he began to make wild claims, saying that the emperor had listened to the traitor and wanted to arrest him.
How can any minister talk to His Majesty like this? This shows that this person has an extremely irritable nature. I have read through the Twenty-Four Histories and I have never seen him talking to the emperor like this. He is really unique to Scorpion Baba.
He asked the emperor to send Wang Chengen and the eunuch named Jin (not sure who they were, but they were probably the eunuchs in charge of a certain department) out of the city to his military camp as hostages before he would enter the city.
Not even the emperor, not even the Shangguan could stand the way he behaved himself. This was a great distrust of people. What on earth was he afraid of? He just refused to let the army enter the city, and declared him to enter the city alone. His
The response was so huge.
What he did during this period, coupled with his reaction at this time, is no different from treason.
What did he mean when he saw that the emperor did not wear official uniforms, but the attire of a servant like a green robe and a cap?
Yuan Chonghuan probably knew that he was not worthy of the great trust of Emperor Chongzhen. It has been more than two years, but he has not regained an inch of land. The cavalry has not been established. He promised not to let the Jin army cross Jixi, but now the Jin soldiers are under the city.
When he had an audience with the emperor, he did not wear official uniform, but wore a blue cloth coat.
First, I took the initiative to express my guilt and let the emperor calm down first. The previous hostage incident was tantamount to forcing the emperor to go to the palace. So I gave the emperor a way to step down.
Chonghuan was afraid that his affairs would be revealed, and this sentence is shocking. We don’t know what his affairs are, and we are afraid that the emperor will find out. In short, it is definitely something that is not good for the emperor.
Yuan Chonghuan was also aware of Chongzhen's feelings for Wang Cheng'en. After leaving the hostage, he went into the city with confidence. Facts have proved that everything is fine. The emperor did not touch him and even comforted him with kind words.
The reason why Yuan Chonghuan was not arrested when he entered the city for the first time was because he left the eunuch as a hostage. The emperor threw a trap and had no choice but to comfort him with gentle words.
What he didn't know was that Chongzhen was better at acting and successfully made him let down his guard. Because of this, he underestimated the emperor and thought that the emperor was still afraid.
Not long after, he was summoned for the second time. This time there were no hostages, and the emperor captured him directly.
The authenticity of this matter is very great. The key is that the book "Northern Strategy of the Ming Dynasty" has not been changed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so it is even more valuable.
Yuan Chonghuan controlled Gao Qiqian, then entered the big basket, and was taken to the city head by the defenders together with Zu Dashou.
There were already guards waiting for him in the city. As soon as they came up, more than a dozen guards immediately surrounded them. Yuan Chonghuan was frightened. He was afraid that he would be arrested directly.
"Supervisor, please follow me into the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. The carriage has been prepared at the gate of the city." Qianhu, the leading Jin Yiwei, said respectfully with his hands raised.
Yuan Chonghuan felt a little relieved, so he followed him to the city.
When the carriage stopped at Donghua Gate, Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou got off the car and saw Heiyunlong also there. Heiyunlong retreated from outside the pass and has been repairing in Nanyuan. He is currently guarding Nanyuan.
Man Gui also got off his horse and saw Yuan Chonghuan snorted, but ignored him.
They had a falling out in Ningyuan a few years ago. Mangui was sent to the northwest.
The four of them followed the eunuch into the palace without saying anything.
This time when he entered the Forbidden City, Yuan Chonghuan's mood was completely different from the last time. Last time he was proud of his life and in control of power. This time he was full of unknown fear.
It was still the same place. The emperor sat on the throne in front of a screen, with a large table in front of him. Guards in royal robes and Han generals were guarding him on all sides. Wang Chengen and other eunuchs were surrounding him. The civil and military ministers stood in two groups.
This time, without letting him wait, the four of them arrived directly in front of the emperor, and Chongzhen skipped the kneeling ceremony.
Before the emperor could speak, the censor came out.
"I am impeaching Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao. The enemy is present and I have privately dismissed the defenders of Jizhou. I have ulterior motives and are suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Please investigate thoroughly."
A young censor came out and directly impeached Yuan Chonghuan. Suddenly the whole team of ministers roared and started talking.
Mangui gloated while watching the play, thinking to himself, Yuan Manzi, you also have this day. Hehe.
Hei Yunlong was shocked. He didn't know what happened. He thought the Qing army had invaded. Unexpectedly, it was Governor Yuan who actually let him in.
Yuan Chonghuan didn't know how to defend himself for a while. While hesitating, Zu Dashou stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I was also in Jizhou at the time, and I was present at the time. Dismissing the reinforcements was a last resort."
"Although the food supply in Ji Town at that time was still sufficient, there was almost no accumulation of fodder. There were too many soldiers and horses in Ji Town and it could not be supplied, so the ministries were dismissed as a last resort."
As soon as Zu Dashou defended Yuan Chonghuan, he saw Wang Qia, Minister of the Ministry of War, coming out and said angrily: "That's nonsense. The establishment of a slave is imminent. At this time, what is more important is horse materials or defense against the enemy."
Yuan Chonghuan then said: "At that time, Miyun was empty, and I was worried that another enemy army would enter from Miyun and fight directly to the capital. In this way, the natural danger of Jimen was bypassed. Therefore, I sent the reinforcements to various places."
The emperor spoke at this time and asked: "How is the situation outside?"
Obviously, the emperor did not want to pursue the matter at this time. Others were prepared to take the opportunity to cause trouble for Yuan Chonghuan. They exchanged glances with each other and then stopped.
After all, they were all in the city, keeping to themselves, and the emperor was eager to know what was going on outside the city.
"Your Majesty, the current situation is very critical. Zunhua is a fortified city. It is more than three feet and five feet high and has more than 30 heavy artillery. As a result, it was not defended for a day, which shows that Jiannu has the ability to attack the fortified city.
This is something that has not happened in the past few decades." Yuan Chonghuan said.
Suddenly there was a roar below and discussion started.
Zunhua has been built for more than a hundred years and is an important town near the Great Wall pass. Otherwise, Governor Shuntian would not have placed it there. Santun Camp is also nearby, which shows the importance of geographical location. As a result, it was destroyed in less than a day.
Beaten down.
This shows that the capital city is not safe either. The city wall of the capital city is indeed higher than that of Zunhua, but it is very limited. In theory, if Zunhua can be captured in one day, there will not be much problem in attacking the capital city.
The families of these officials were all in the city, and their property was also in the city. At this time, they panicked. If Jiannu could really break the city, they would be doomed.
Seeing the officials in shock, Yuan Chonghuan inadvertently raised the corner of his mouth.
