Linhuai Marquis Li Bangzhen is a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Li Wenzhong.
After Li Wenzhong's dukedom was passed to his son Li Jinglong's generation, he led the army to reduce the feudal vassal and fought with Zhu Di. After the Jingnan, he was abolished by Zhu Di.
Later in the Jiajing Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing found out Li Wenzhong's descendants and gave them the title of Marquis of Linhuai. From then on, the title of Marquis of Linhuai continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty.
There was another generation after Li Bangzhen. When Li Zicheng attacked the capital, Li Hongji "was ordered to guard the gate. The city fell and the emperor died, and he escaped southward." He finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the southern capital.
Dingyuan Marquis Deng Wenming, a descendant of the founding Duke Deng Yu, had just ascended the throne this year, and Dashun entered Beijing and was killed. Many generations of his family were in charge of the Jinyiwei, and they successively served as commanders of the Jinyiwei, commanders of Jinyiwei, and other important positions.
The chair of Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo is empty. He is the sixth and last generation of lords. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Guozuo surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the southern capital.
He is a descendant of Tang He, the founding father of the country. More than 100 years after Tang He's death, during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Shaozong, the fifth generation descendant of Tang He, was awarded the title of Commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei. After Emperor Jiajing succeeded to the throne, Tang Shaozong was named Lingbihou
.Their family has always been in Nanjing.
The seat of Xincheng Hou Wang Guoxing is empty. He is a distinguished relative.
His father Wang was promoted to the brother of Emperor Tianqi's biological mother Xiaohe and the Queen Mother Wang. Therefore, in terms of blood, Wang Guoxing was the cousin of Emperor Tianqi and the cousin of Emperor Chongzhen (more distantly). Dashun entered Beijing and burned himself to death, which was regarded as a heroic death.
.
The seat of Zhang Guoji, Marquis of Taikang, was empty, and the father of Queen Zhang Yan, Dashun, entered Beijing and was killed.
The seat of Xinlehou Liu Xiaozu is empty. He is the younger brother of Chongzhen's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Liu, and Chongzhen's uncle. His son Liu Wenbing and his consort Gong Yonggu were close friends.
Liu Wenbing (April 25, 2011), courtesy name Qijun, was born in Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture, North Zhili Province (now Beijing City). He was a relative of the Ming Dynasty, nephew of Empress Xiaochun Liu, son of Xinlehou Liu Xiaozu, and Zhu Sizong of the Ming Dynasty.
Youjian's cousin.
When Dashun entered Beijing, Liu Xiaozu was dead. The old wife took her daughters-in-law, two daughters, and the third son to hang themselves. They ordered their servants to burn the house afterwards. The rope of the third son Liu Wenzhao was broken, and Liu Wenzhao did not have the courage to continue committing suicide and fled south.
The eldest son, Xinlehou Liu Wenbing, and his brother, the left governor Liu Wenyao, led troops to fight with Li Zicheng. After the failure, they went home and committed suicide. The whole family died, and only Liu Wenbing's third brother fled. He was regarded as a loyal martyr.
Except for the four relatives of the 22 marquises in Beijing, there are 18 other families present. They are all powerful marquises who control military power. Some control the Beijing camp, some control the border troops in various places, and some control the general troops of each province.
There were as many family members, nephews, and slaves as officers in various parts of the Ming Dynasty as crucian carp crossing the river, and their influence was intertwined and intertwined, like water seeping into the ground.
The British Master picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and placed the tureen on the coffee table on the left. There was a sudden silence, and the British Master was about to speak.
Today, the nobles are very angry. Yang Fan and the British Duke Sun were messing around, but His Majesty took the opportunity to take back the military power. The British government must give everyone an explanation for this matter.
Zhang Weixian sighed, this was his grandson. If it had been anyone else, even Duke Cheng Guo's grandson would have been murdered.
"The British government did not know about this matter beforehand. I went to Shize and promised to give him a thousand elite soldiers to take with him to Guihua City. I didn't expect that he and Yang Fan were young and didn't know the importance, so they wanted to take advantage of the situation.
We gathered 10,000 elite soldiers and took them away directly. Unexpectedly, Donglin's people seized the opportunity and teamed up with His Majesty to take away the elite soldiers, and also took the opportunity to find out the reality of the Beijing camp. That's how it happened." Zhang Weixian was so busy.
said.
The people in Donglin are working to dismantle the frontier armies in the nine-border town. These frontier armies are actually controlled by the sons, grandsons and nephews of these distinguished nobles, or their disciples, domestic slaves, relatives and children.
Now Donglin has spent more than 40 years, starting with Sun Chengzong, to gradually get rid of Guan Ning's army. They still don't stop, and they actually want to seize the Beijing camp and the border army again. This is to completely defeat the nobles.
The rhythm.
The nobles must not be able to surrender and must fight them to the end.
The struggle for military power is a life-and-death struggle. All means are used, and as long as you can win, there will be no bottom line.
Dong Lin took away Guan Ningjun, the big cake with the largest military expenditure, which made the nobles' jealous eyes stretch out their claws. Now these bastards have gone even further and want to rob the nobles of their wealth. It's really
It can be tolerated but not mature.
Today I heard the British minister explain this matter with my own ears, and I know the truth. After all, it was all speculation before.
Ordinarily, if Yang Fan and Dong Lin don't deal with each other, it's impossible for him to join Dong Lin in messing with the nobles. No matter how Yang Fan looks at it, it is in his interest to stand on the side of the nobles.
Guo Peimin, the Marquis of Wuding, scolded: "These two little brats haven't even grown their hair yet, so they know how to use a rake to scoop things into their arms. This is a cannon set up in front of the house. It's all about shooting in."
This is in line with the beating nature of the officials in the Ming Dynasty. They are all prodigal sons. If you earn one thousand, your family will pay ten thousand.
Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, laughed and scolded: "When you were young, you should have been less aggressive."
Guo Peimin blushed, nodded and said, "That's true."
None of these honorable men did this kind of bad things when they were young. It's just that Zhang Shize did it more. When they were young, each of them was a bastard than the other.
Lao Guo sighed with a sad face: "Now that the capital camp has been taken back by His Majesty, we only have some soldiers and servants left in our hands. What should we do?"
They all rely on empty wages to support their families and soldiers. Now, His Majesty has reduced the number of elite soldiers in Beijing to 50,000, and the rest have been cancelled. The Ministry of Revenue has no name to continue to allocate funds. The remaining troops in their hands
, there is no money to support it at all.
Of course they themselves have money, but they are not fools. How stupid it is to support the imperial army with their own money.
"This time we came to see everyone, mainly Yang Fan and Zhang Shize, two little bastards. They knew they were in trouble and were scared. They found a business to make some compensation for everyone." Zhang Weixian continued.

, although the payment is often delayed.
Zhang Zhiji lifted a kerosene lamp from the ground and placed it on the table. He said: "They invented a kind of lamp oil called kerosene. It is cheaper than vegetable oil and can burn brighter than candles. Close the curtains."
Zhang Zhiji asked his soldiers to pull up the curtains on all sides, and suddenly the entire second floor was dark. The three layers of curtains blocked the light tightly, and it suddenly became impossible to see anything inside the room.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what Zhang Zhiji was going to do.
At this time, there was only a "ding" sound, and the British Duke Zhang Weixian lit a fire with a zippo. The lighter made a huge flame, and zippo has always been a lighter with a high flame. It immediately illuminated the three dukes.
Zhang Zhiji pushed back the glass cover of the kerosene lamp ninety degrees to expose the wick, and Zhang Weixian lit the wick with a lighter.
Suddenly a bright flame burned. Zhang Zhiji put the glass lampshade back. He used the knob to adjust the length of the wick, and the flame suddenly became larger. The brightness also increased several times.
The room suddenly lit up.
All the nobles held their breath. The second floor was very large, and the aperture of the kerosene lamp could only illuminate the place where the dukes were sitting. However, this brightness far exceeded that of candles and vegetable oil lamps. It illuminated ten square meters.
There is no problem at all in the study room.
Although it is not as bright as the calcium carbide lamp sold in Xinghe Supermarket, it does not smell bad, and Yang Fan's calcium carbide lamp is too expensive. Even they feel it hurts. They burn it every day, but they can't afford it.
