The direct cause of Lindong Party's birth was thanks to Emperor Zhu Yijun in the middle and late Wanli period. Especially after the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty? Fight for the country? After a series of court disputes, a group of frustrated activists, represented by Gu Xiancheng, formed such a political group with a strong voice among the people in the name of giving lectures at Wuxi Donglin Academy.
In fact, since the middle and late Ming Dynasty, with the free and open social atmosphere, it is not uncommon to form gangs in political circles, but Lindong Party is one of them. First of all, when they started their business, they did not have the support of high-level powerful political forces, but grew up entirely with the help of the people. Secondly, compared with other political groups' clear demands for power, Lindong Party has established a very high style since its establishment and made it a loud slogan to help the world. Its representative figures, such as Gu Xiancheng, Zhao Nanxing, Zou Yuanbiao and other flag figures, are all idol-level scholar-officials who enjoy a high reputation among the people all the year round. Looking at the image alone, it is really high.
Moreover, it must be praised that the Lindong Party, including the complex society, which later became a variant of Lindong Party, has an unparalleled powerful ability, which is its overwhelming propaganda and agitation. From the end of Wanli, they even incited and launched a powerful folk wave through various means, and their influence miraculously increased. From a few sporadic students in Donglin College in the early years, it has become a well-known political group in the north and south of the Yangtze River, with a strong voice in an instant. If these people cross today, with this powerful hype ability, they will definitely earn a lot of money in the entertainment circle!
Judging from these family histories, Lindong Party should be a great organization representing light and justice in the tragic history of the late Ming Dynasty? Define it later, because the fate of the country and even the strategic choice of the country is by no means entertainment!
When people wander, the seemingly invincible Lindong Party has been swept away, and the biggest shortcoming is here: don't look at the slogan of helping the world, and don't look at what they have been flaunting. Practical learning? Thought, but for the country's political situation with diplomatic difficulties in the late Ming Dynasty, they not only failed to come up with reliable and practical methods, but were impassioned and full of absurd words. As for several representatives, there is only one main story line: demolishing Taiwan!
How to open it? Look at Li Sancai, the leader of the early Lindong Party, and you will know that this Wanli government official was later listed as a eunuch? King Tota? Lin Dong, a heavyweight in the Party, is also full of folk popularity. In particular, he stood up many times to resist the economic reform of Wanli's tax increase for industry and commerce, so he was also welcomed by the people, just like a master.
We can look at his working mode, but it is surprising that when he was the governor of grain transportation, when it was time to collect taxes and fees for grain transportation every year, he actually issued tax bills to businessmen and filled in as many taxes as he wanted. Water transport income related to the national economy and people's livelihood. This Li Sancai adult achieved the proud official career of Governor Fengyang from the Governor of Grain Transportation, relying on the generosity of the country? Talented? In exchange for it.
And if you want to look at his living standard again, you will know that he is here? Generous? Never white? Kang? This man has been living a luxurious life comparable to that of princes with the meager salary of Ming officials. According to the description in the notes of many people in the Ming Dynasty, how luxurious were his mansions, houses and villas? Proud and extravagant? Our captive, the food on the table is delicious every day, and the banquet is constant every day. Where did such a luxurious life come from? Justice? Under the surface, decades of hard-earned money is gray income.
The situation in Li Sancai epitomizes the essence of Lindong Party. The so-called cherishing private capital is actually an endorsement for the bureaucratic gentry family behind it. And playing with the national finance, at the expense of the poor slag of the Ming Dynasty, in exchange for their own glorious reputation. On the one hand, it resisted the financial reform of the Ming Dynasty, which made capitalism sprout and flourish, but it was unable to increase taxes through industry and commerce for a long time. This strange thing unimaginable in ancient human history was given by Lindong Party.
Seeking truth from facts, the shortage of military spending in the late Ming Dynasty, even the predicament of troubled times, and even the tragic ending of Emperor Chongzhen's patching and hanging himself, all have a great relationship with the perverse behavior of Lindong Party! Why did the prosperous Ming Dynasty end up in financial poverty? Because the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty was drained by interest groups represented by Lindong Party!
In addition to this long-term excavation, Lindong Party keeps digging holes in various state affairs. The biggest difference between them and many party groups in the Ming Dynasty is that no matter whether they were Zhang or Zhang in their early years, no matter how they fought, they were politicians who knew the overall situation. Change to Lindong Party, but always put your reputation and interests first! The most representative of this quality is the war between Ming Dynasty and Jin Dynasty.
It turned out that in the late Wanli period, Emperor Wanli suppressed the late Jin Nurhachi to a very difficult position by enabling the famous Xiong Tingbi. But just as the front line turned around, it was the Lindong Party that caught the Rightists and the red eye, launched public opinion, and pulled down Xiong Tingbi with outstanding achievements and replaced him with Yuan Yingtai with Lindong background. Immediately, the situation reversed and lost again, and Liaoyang and Shenyang returned to Nurhachi. After Xiong Tingbi's comeback, Governor Wang Huazhen, who has a background in Lindong, cleverly dismantled the platform and lost the strategic location of Quang Ninh. The late Jin Dynasty, that is, the rapidly rising Qing Dynasty in the future, is a great gift from Lindong Party!
However, when Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself sadly and the northern mountains and rivers fell, those Lindong party member, who were full of sense of justice, exposed their most shameless side in front of the rumble of the Qing army going south. Many people sold themselves to the enemy without any pressure, either running to Li Zicheng for loyalty or becoming pawns of the Qing army, just like Feng Menglong, a novelist in the late Ming Dynasty, vomited blood and denounced: Why do you steal from heaven and earth?
In the Ming dynasty, the collapse of this once powerful dynasty was largely brought into the ditch by special groups in this special era. Of course, what is more worth reflecting is that the morbid political environment in the late Ming Dynasty and the wrong political tactics of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, including Emperor Chongzhen, gave this group the soil to pit the country. Such a lesson is thought-provoking so far!
