Liaoyang City was in danger, and its troops were seriously insufficient. The Southern Army refused to save the city and even collaborated with the enemy.
These are all written by Yuan Yingtai, and the contents about the Southern Army are all based on the prejudices of the superiors and rumors about the enemy's female cadres.
Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and others were furious. This time, regardless of the previous discussion of plans, they were eager to start a fight.
In addition, since Yuan Yingtai had the right to expedite the matter for 800 miles, but Zhang Quan did not have such high authority, Zhang Quan's report arrived a little later.
Zhang Quan's report was sent two days earlier than Yuan Yingtai's, and arrived two days later.
The content is: In the name of "benevolence and righteousness", Yuan Yingtai did not deal with the rumors of internecine affairs in Liaoyang, and ignored and slandered the Southern Army and the border army during the bloody battle in Hunhe River.
At this moment, some military-minded people in the court knew what was going on.
Sun Chengzong had stayed in Datong for many years and knew that strength rather than benevolence was the order of the day on the grasslands, and it was entirely possible for Mongolia to defect when the war situation was unfavorable.
[It has been running stably for many years, it is comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, and is used by old bookworms, huanyuan]
In addition, he is also aware of the destructive power of rumors about his wife's daughter-in-law. During the Liaodong war in recent years, he knows that Nurhachi is very good at this.
Sun Chengzong made a decision and explained his thoughts to his friend Liu Yijing, a cabinet scholar:
It is suggested that the Donglin officials should not be too contemptuous of military generals. The unfavorable situation on the Liaodong front line is a fact, and should not be too protective of Yuan Yingtai. In terms of future personnel, we should also pay attention to the unity of civil and military personnel, so that the original strength of the Ming army can be brought into play.
Liu Yijing felt very professional after hearing this and said that she would give it some thought and try to settle the matter.
But what's the use of him?
When the Donglin Party started shouting, the emperor stepped aside, and the palace rushed in to rob people.
Just a cabinet bachelor, even if he is one of Donglin's own, he will go aside if he dares to block the way.
As soon as Yuan Yingtai's final memorial arrived, Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong could not sit still. They immediately opened fire on the Southern Army without waiting for Ye Xianggao to take office.
Zuodu Yushi Zhao Nanxing, as the top leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, directly accused Zhou Dunji of having secretly attacked the chieftain before, and now that he did not obey orders, he was simply a reckless man who went to war privately and ruined the war.
Gao Panlong hurriedly provided cover for Yuan Yingtai, saying that he dared to go out of the city to fight, that he had the courage to fight decisively even though his troops were insufficient, and that he believed he would defend Liaoyang until the last moment.
Seeing that they did not follow the agreement, Zou Yuanbiao also came forward.
After Zhang Quan's memorial arrived, he calmly analyzed and concluded that Zhang Quan's statement was true and that there was something wrong with Yuan Yingtai's perspective.
Therefore, the memorial said that the bloody battle at Hunhe River was a heroic battle. The enemy was repulsed several times and defeated three times. The enemy was defeated many times. If he received full support, there was no need to worry about defeating Nurhachi.
This is Zhang Quan's side, and he is clearly going against Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong.
Everyone in the court knew that there was a fight between the elders in Donglin.
Those who might have been drawn into the Donglin Party because they had friends in Donglin in the same imperial examination session, kept their distance for fear of being involved in the internal war of the Donglin Party.
Liu Yijing and Han Xu, the two cabinet bachelors, were afraid of getting burned, so they did not dare to speak out and take sides.
They also know the Donglin Party inside and out. Once a few hot-tempered ones start shouting, not even ten cows can hold them back.
….
Even if they stand up together with Sun Chengzong, who will listen?
Sun Chengzong, a new member of Donglin, Liu Yijing, and Han Xu have high official positions, but they have little say in Donglin. Who among Zhao Nanxing, Zou Yuanbiao, Gao Panlong, and Wang Wenyan will listen to them?
Moreover, those with the right to speak have no time to spare for their suggestions.
They are all mobilizing students and friends to join the battle.
Ai Youzhi, the head of the household department on Zou Yuanbiao's side, reported that Yuan Yingtai had used 8 million taels of silver from the imperial court. It was absolutely inappropriate to shift the responsibility to the bloody generals at this time.
Moreover, a group of military generals previously reported that large-scale recruitment of Mongolian refugees and recruitment into the army would have huge hidden dangers. Now Zhang Quan pointed out that they were... co
..
There were similar reasons for the rebellion in the city and the fall of Shenyang.
Nurhachi did not have the ability to attack big cities like Liaoyang and Shenyang. The current crisis situation was actually created by himself.
The quality of this memorial is not low. In fact, Wang Hongyu wrote a letter to him before the war, stating that Nurhaci did not have the ability to storm the city, but Mongolian refugees were a hidden danger.
Ai Youzhi directly copied the words in Wang Hongyu's letter and wrote such a high-level memorial.
But it can't stop the crowd tactics.
When Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong spoke up, they had more fellow students and students than Zou Yuanbiao.
Immediately there was an uproar, dozens of people came forward one after another, and various impeachments occurred.
Various generals of the Liaodongnan Army were impeached in batches, saying that they did not obey orders and were arrogant.
Another batch of impeachments, direct criticism
There was also an impeachment letter against Han Jun, the governor of Baoding, saying that he was unfavorable in recruiting soldiers in Baoding. It also impeached Wang Hongyu, who was in prison at the time, for allowing these warriors to have no discipline.
The last one was conceived by Zhao Nanxing himself in order to drag Yang Lian in, who was involved in the matter.
Although Yang Lian's position is not high, his reputation is great. If he joins the battle, Zou Yuanbiao will be even more isolated. It can also tell other Donglin members that it is time to take sides.
The reason why Zhao Nanxing did not instigate direct attacks on Zou Yuanbiao's family was because he was still thinking about the friendship with the same elder Donglin. If he didn't learn a lesson this time, he would not be blamed for being unkind in the future.
Seeing this result, some newly recruited members within Donglin were very disappointed.
Sun Chengzong immediately wrote to his friend Yuan Keli, stating that the Donglin Party had started but faltered. It had only been like this for half a year after taking power. It started making trouble in order to protect its colleagues. Although there were some pragmatists, the reputation-seeking trend was so serious that it even bit one's own people when it went crazy.
There are also members such as Xie Xuelong and Huang Gongfu who are not Donglin, but because they are relatively upright, capable and promising, and are deliberately befriended by Donglin, they are also very smart at this time, and they gradually see the situation clearly and keep a certain distance from Donglin.
The Donglin Party is so at odds with each other, which not only makes the newly recruited people with lofty ideals see clearly, but also makes many responsible people in the world feel disappointed.
For example, Lu Xiangsheng, Huang Daozhou and others who rushed to the capital to prepare for the imperial examination next year originally admired Dong Lin's righteousness.
But I heard that Donglin was at odds with each other, especially after the dispute in the court spread to the streets of Shilin and the capital, it became much more exaggerated.
Lu Xiangsheng had long been fond of military affairs and felt that what Zou Yuanbiao and Ai Youzhi said was reasonable. He was greatly disappointed with the comments of most people in the Donglin Party. From then on, he specifically kept a distance from the high-minded talkers in the Donglin Party.
Huang Daozhou admired Zou Yuanbiao's courage to contradict Zhang Juzheng when he was young, and now also admires his persistence in insisting on his opinions and confronting others in Donglin. Therefore, he vaguely regards most of the Donglin Party members who criticized Zou Yuanbiao as their opponents.
The direction of public opinion in the streets and alleys of the capital is of course the result of Wang Hongyu's advance planning.
Meng Biao, Wei Liangqing and others also contributed greatly.
