Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 117 Min Hongxue

Min Hongxue, a native of Wucheng, Zhejiang, became a Jinshi in the 26th year of Wanli. In March of the second year of Tianqi, he served as the right deputy censor and governor of Yunnan to suppress the unrest in Yunnan that was affected by the Guizhou-Shu Rebellion. This lasted for five years and eight years. moon.

In Wen Tiren's memorial, in addition to briefly writing about this experience of Min Hongxue, he also attached a summary of the memorials written by Min Hongxue during this period, namely the twelve volumes of "Fu Yunnan Memorial."

Just the names of these memorials made Hu Guang, a latecomer, shine in his eyes. For example, "Please open a road to Guangdong" and "Please open a Dian road to Guangdong and Shu" are very consistent with the philosophy of later generations. Whether you want to get rich or to suppress a rebellion, you must first build roads.

There are also "Studies on the Establishment of Schools", "Suggestions on the Establishment of Prefectural Schools", "Recommendations on Teaching Staff", etc. Hu Guang can tell from this name that this is a request to promote education in remote areas of Yunnan, and is a request to promote education in remote areas of Yunnan. Necessary measures for the transformation of the country are also worthy of recognition.

In addition, there are "donate salary to help workers", "lead subordinates to help workers", "donate salary to reward border workers", etc. This is the rhythm of taking the lead in donating money and setting an example for subordinates to contribute to Yunnan's public undertakings. This kind of thing will rarely happen even in later generations.

Suddenly, Hu Guang saw an article and immediately understood the real reason why Wen Tiren recommended Min Hongxue. Behind the memorial's "Request for Imperial Orders to Make Money", "Tiao Da Qian Fa Shu", "Jie Jin Yu Qian Shu", etc., Wen Tiren noted in small characters that Min Hongxue promoted money methods in Yunnan, ending the long-term use of "Haibei" in Yunnan. "When the backwardness of the currency became unified with the rest of the country, it was explained.

Hu Guang's eyebrows flew up when he saw it, and he immediately asked the eunuch on duty to find all Min Hongxue's memorials. He had a feeling that he couldn't wait to read all of Min Hongxue's memorials. He had a vague feeling that this Min Hongxue was probably an all-rounder in politics, military, and economics.

Wen Tiren was given the opportunity to sit down. After looking at the emperor's expression, a smile appeared on his face, knowing that his recommendation must be in line with the emperor's wishes.

The memorials were transferred quickly, and Hu Guang read all the memorials in one go, relying on the literary skills of the former Emperor Chongzhen. Then I felt overjoyed, this is really a good talent!

However, there is one thing that Hu Guang is puzzled about. Logically speaking, Min Hongxue can be considered a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and he has such political achievements and abilities. Why is he not famous in later generations?

He actually did not know that the "History of the Ming Dynasty" originally compiled at the end of the Kangxi Dynasty contained a biography of Min Hongxue, but his biography was deleted from the later version of the "History of the Ming Dynasty". The "History of the Ming Dynasty" compiled by the Manchu and Qing dynasties over three dynasties has covered up many real heroes.

Moreover, the twelve volumes of Min Hongxue's "Fu Yunnan Zuocao" have disappeared in later generations in China. It was only later discovered in the Japanese Cabinet Library that it was rediscovered.

This can be supported by the brief introduction in Min Hongxue's Baidu Encyclopedia.

Hu Guang was so happy that he happily said to Wen Tiren: "Wen Qing, you recommended them well! As long as they are talented people, no matter how close they are, you can recommend them to me, haha!"

"By the way, where are the others?" Hu Guang felt the urge to meet Min Hongxue and conduct an interview in person. After just asking, he said to the eunuch on duty: "Pass an edict to summon..."

Seeing this, Wen Tiren had to stand up, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Min Taibao returned to his hometown to recuperate due to illness in the first year of Chongzhen."

Min Hongxue was transferred from Yunnan and served as the censor of Youdu in Nanjing. Soon after, he was given the title of Prince Taibao, hereditary royal robe, and commander of the affairs. Then in the first year of Chongzhen, he retired due to illness.

After hearing this, Hu Guang could not help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, as if this matter was not that simple! Could it be that the original Emperor Chongzhen, who vigorously attacked the eunuchs after he ascended the throne and re-employed all the Donglin Party members, affected Min Hongxue?

He didn't know that in the original history, in the third year of Chongzhen's reign, Wen Tiren recommended Min Hongxue to Emperor Chongzhen, and Min Hongxue eventually served as the censor of Zuodu. However, when he was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Wen Tiren was appointed as the chief assistant, which caused him to be attacked by the Donglin Party. Finally, in the autumn of the sixth year of Chongzhen, he claimed to be ill and returned home, and he never came out of the army again.

Although Hu Guang guessed something, he was no longer the original Chongzhen Emperor who couldn't distinguish between good and evil. As long as he had the ability, he would not be wronged!

After Hu Guang pondered for a moment, he said to Wen Tiren: "Wen Qing, Jianlu is stationed at Deshengmen. Although he is just a patrol patrol in other places, I am afraid it will be inconvenient for me to send an angel to summon him. Do you think this is okay?"

"You will come forward to summon Min Hongxue to the capital. At the same time, he will convey the decree and summon Min Hongxue to the capital. Will he come?"

As soon as Wen Tiren heard the word "Ricong", he knew what the emperor meant, and immediately smiled, knowing that this was the benefit of the chat group. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, that's great!"

"Okay, then I'll drag you in and talk to him." After Hu Guang finished speaking, his consciousness entered the chat group.

The exchange between the two of them made the eunuchs and maids waiting beside them confused. They could only attribute it to their lack of knowledge, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly.

At this time, Sun Chengzong, who was far away in Shanhaiguan, was already restless. He could not see the composure of a weathered old man at all, nor the composure of the old man of Daming Pavilion. He paced back and forth in front of Liu Xingzuo from time to time, and sat down. Get up again.

In comparison, Liu Xingzuo was relatively calm, but later he couldn't stand it any longer. He clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Ge, why don't you send someone to urge you?"

There have been reports from fast horses before, saying that it was a great victory in Changli, but the battle report has not yet come because there is no final conclusion.

Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then realized that he was anxious. However, he had to be anxious! Ever since the Jianlu invaded the capital, the Jianlu had been unstoppable. Defeating the Ming army was like a game. The Ming army was like paper in front of the Jianlu.

Sun Chengzong was appointed at the critical moment. Faced with the devastation of the capital, the pressure he felt was difficult to understand unless he was in his position. For this reason, he had to concentrate on preserving the most elite Guan Ning army, and personally sat here to advise Zu Dashou, just to have a trump card that could deal with Jianlu.

Now there are 7,000 built captives in Changli, but they can be defeated in one battle. Such a great victory is a real victory. With such a victory, when the good news spreads throughout the capital, it will not only provide strong support to the capital, but also greatly boost the morale of King Qin's army, which will further damage the morale of Jianlu, thus changing the war, and even Turn.

He was in a hurry when he suddenly heard noise coming from outside. The cheers were mixed with the shouts of the messenger, "Victory in Changli, kill the captives..." and he came straight to the Yamen lobby.

The long-awaited messenger has finally arrived!

Thanks for the reward from Nature!

PS: Contrary to what I thought, people who have changed the butterfly effect can guess it, but no one can guess it!
