The Oriental Party is not a political party. They were a group of bureaucrats in the late Ming Dynasty, and their main members came from the families of big landlords and businessmen. The name of Lindong Party comes from Donglin Academy in Wuxi, Jiangsu. Donglin Academy was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty. From Southern Song Dynasty to16th century, Donglin Academy was unknown. It was not until the thirty-second year of Wanli that two retired officials, Gu Xiancheng and Gao Panlong, gave lectures here that Donglin Academy developed. They advocate two views: the first orthodoxy is higher than legal orthodoxy, and the second government should pay less taxes and mind its own business.
Because these two views catered to the interests of big landlords and businessmen, Donglin Academy received their strong support, and all the officials who came here to give lectures received their generous rewards, including money and official positions. Therefore, more and more officials come to Lindong College to give lectures, and Lindong College has a growing influence in the United States. We call the officials who agree with these two political views the Lindong Party. They are not a political party. In fact, the Lindong Party is the spokesman of big businessmen and big landlords.
Due to the large number of people, the Lindong Party rose rapidly. After the death of Emperor Wanli, they came to power for the first time.
After the defeat of the Ming army in Salhu, Emperor Wanli appointed Xiong Tingbi as an official in Liaodong. Although Xiong Tingbi is a scholar, he likes to make friends with military generals, and his hand can pull a hard bow. This strange way is naturally rejected by the civilian population. Thanks to the support of Emperor Wanli, he was able to hold Liaodong, and he did not live up to the trust of Emperor Wanli. As soon as he took office, he found Liaodong jittery and unstable, and officers and men in several cities east of Quang Ninh fled. He braved the heavy snow and personally visited Fushun. Fushun is already at the front, and few soldiers guard it. He asked people to bring the running national flag into Fushun to calm people's hearts.
Then began to rectify the army, beheading the generals who fled without fighting, offering sacrifices to the fallen soldiers, recalling deserters, replacing the company commander who embezzled military expenses with honest and capable people, and finally stabilized the situation. Then rest the moat and strengthen the city wall, and develop the empty city of Shenyang into an important town in just one year.
He wrote a letter to Emperor Wanli, suggesting that defense should be given priority, and the strength of the Ming army was not enough to recover lost ground. Wanli agreed with his strategy. Six months later, Nur Tengfei cartoon jumpmhHachi digested the occupied area and sent troops to attack Shenyang on a large scale. As a result, hundreds of people were beheaded by the Ming army at the gates of Shenyang, and the defeat was like a mountain. That is to say, after the defeat of Salhu, only one and a half years later, with the efforts of Emperor Wanli and Xiong Tingbi, the Ming army launched a massive battle with the nomads from the army.
However, Emperor Wanli was already ill in bed. On July 21st, forty-eight years of Wanli, he passed away forever. Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne under the hostage of Lin Dong Party and named it the Apocalypse. At first, Emperor Apocalypse trusted the Forestry Movement Party, and the Forestry Movement Party took the opportunity to install its own people in key departments and exclude those they didn't trust. They kept looking for reasons to attack Fang Congzhe's record, and big and small problems became their ammunition. Fang Congzhe had no choice. I couldn't stand the pressure and was forced to leave.
After taking power, the members of the Lindong Party became more noisy. Anyone who disagrees with them is a villain in their eyes and must be driven away. As long as their politics
Three months later, the Nomads attacked Shenyang and were able to defeat the Nomads. He Shixian, the company commander, was ordered to leave the city to attack nomadic people. The result was ambushed and defeated. The newly surrendered army is swinging grass. In disloyalty, he saw the defeat of the Ming army and immediately surrendered to the latter. He Shixian retreated to Shenyang, and in the late Ming army, gold spies took advantage of the chaos to open the city gate. Shenyang fell and the company commanders died. Liaoyang, where Yuan Yingtai is hiding, repeats the fate of Shenyang.
After the Eastern Party came to power for half a year, Liaodong lost two important cities in succession, and Guangning was exposed to the latter. Once Guangning was breached, Jinzhou became an isolated city outside the customs, and Houjin could be locked in it. After discussion, they agreed to re-appoint Xiong Tingbi as manager of Liaodong and sent him to rectify Liaodong. What a mess. But after waiting for a period of time, Hou Jin did not stop attacking Guangning across Liaohe River. After all, he just swallowed more than 65,438+10,000 square kilometers of land, which needs time to digest.
So the Lindong Party repented again. If Xiong Tingbi takes office, Liaodong will be calm.
Doesn't this make them incompetent? While they haven't arrived in Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi immediately appointed party member Wang Huazhen, who has been in Guangning, as the governor of Liaodong, and ordered him to control the military forces in Guangning and its surrounding areas. In 500, the wanted order was urgently sent to Guangning. When Xiong Tingbi arrived in Quang Ninh, Wang Huazhen had been waiting for a long time. Wang Huazhen has tens of thousands of troops, and Xiong Tingbi can't mobilize a single soldier, so he has to return to Shanhaiguan, where there are thousands of military forces at his disposal.
Wang Huazhen is a scholar, knowing little about military affairs, trusting people easily and being very tolerant of subordinates. Li Dan Khan in western Liaoning coaxed him a few words, fully believing that the Mongols would help him recover Liaoyang. In addition, the people of Liaodong have an illusion that as soon as Julian Waghann arrives, the people east of Liaohe will immediately submit to the court anyway. He didn't disobey Xiong Tingbi. His strategic focus is on Guangning, his rebel generals and the advice of Liao people. They must be trusted.
Wang Huazhen only trusts one person, and that person is Sun Degong, and this trust has reached the point of arrogance.
He divided his troops to defend Xiping and Liaohe, and sent General Sun Degong to see rebel general Li Yongfang. Li Yongfang is Nurhachi's confidant. Instead of turning against him, he turned against him. Sun Degong lived in Liaodong for generations, and his roots are all in the east of Liaohe. He was frightened by Li Yongfang and then surrendered to the late king.
In order to help the new master get more credit, Sun Degong and Li Yongfang conspired to let Nurhachi send troops to attack Xiping in Liaohe. Sun Degong suggested to Wang Huazhen that Xiping was the best place to eliminate nomadic people. When the troops sent by Wang Huazhen arrived in Xiping, they were attacked by nomads and the rebellious Ming army, and many generals of the Ming army died.
In Quang Ninh City, Wang Huazhen, after hearing the news that nomads were coming, they thought that Quang Ninh City had been breached, so they fled to Jinzhou with several cronies. Jin then occupied Quang Ninh and threatened Shanhaiguan. When the news came back to Beijing, the court was in an uproar.
One year after the Eastern Party came to power, it lost hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land outside the customs, and the loss of population, troops and resources was several times that of the Battle of Salhu, and the situation was in ruins. The apocalypse emperor finally got angry and ordered him to accuse you of quarreling over a trivial matter when the country was in danger. Emperor Apocalypse saw that civil servants were useless, supported Wei Zhongxian, and gradually entrusted him with an important task.
