When this idea came out, it is really impossible to verify. Anyway, it's not a day or two, and the motive for killing is only four words: I don't like it.

Of course, some people say that Yuan Chonghuan wanted to kill Mao in order to prepare for defection. In fact, this statement is not new. Yuan Chonghuan said it more than 300 years ago when he was dying.

But in fact, this is a boring statement, because according to the records of the old archives of the Qing Dynasty, Mao once wrote to Huang Taiji, saying that he would defect to the enemy, and even agreed on the attack route. In this way, Yuan Chonghuan is still harmful to the country.

In view of the habit of tampering with historical materials in Qing Dynasty and Mao's consistent performance, its authenticity is debatable.

Yuan Chonghuan decided to kill Mao only because Mao was disobedient.

Pidao, where Mao is located, is located in the rear of Houjin. If you want to pass the order, you can either cross the enemy's position or take a boat. If it weren't for the shocking upheaval, no one would waste it.

Hiding on the island, nobody cares for a long time, traffic basically depends on walking, communication basically depends on shouting, and I can't hear it if I want to hear it, so I'm not obedient.

More importantly, Mao is still very useful in Pidao. He is located behind the post-Jin Dynasty. He often sent guerrillas to harass Huang taiji and came out to arrest him, but he didn't really fight. It's really disgusting. Be regarded as a menace by Huang taiji.

But this man also has problems. Mao stayed in Pidao for eight years, and the most successful thing was not the military, but the economy. Pidao is also an island. In fact, it was turned into an economic development zone by him, attracting investment and attracting countless merchants. Smugglers, large and small, passed by him, collected the money and let it go, and he also got a piece of the action.

It is a fact that war is to be fought. I go there every year, but only a few times-six times Many times I parade on the island, or send someone to Houjin to feel a whistle and make a sap.

But on the whole, Mao is still good. He did so much business by himself, and he also contained Huang Taiji. Although he is not very active in the war, with his strength, as long as he can persist, he will certainly pass.

In view of the above reasons, successive governors and governors have turned a blind eye and let him go.

But Yuan Chonghuan didn't close his eyes, and even a grain of sand was not allowed in his eyes.

A few years ago, when he was just a quarterback, he dared to kill the deputy company commander without asking indiscriminately. Now Yuan is in power, and who is this little Pidao company commander?

To make matters worse, Mao has serious economic problems and his accounts have been unclear for more than eight years. Never inspected, lied about military exploits, and refused to listen to greetings. It is really heinous and must be killed!

In fact, General Manager Mao also has his own difficulties. It's true that I make money. There is nothing I can do about it. This is really a desert island. If you don't get some money, who will do it with you? It is also true to lie about the meritorious military service, but these days, it is normal for people who don't fight to brag, and those who fight to lie and report more achievements. They all follow the procedure. What the hell?

I consulted the materials and related historical materials of the Ming Dynasty. Mao Longwen's men number about 40,000. According to the salary allocated by the Ministry, it is definitely not enough. In other words, much of Mao's money earned in business is attached to his salary, which is very interesting.

Unfortunately, for Comrade Yuan Chonghuan, all this is meaningless. In this case, he is purely concerned with people rather than things.

General manager Mao, who was about to face extinction, remained innocent until he learned the news.

In April of the second year of Chongzhen (1629), Yuan Chonghuan, inspector general of Jilin and Liao Dynasties, ordered that the fleet of materials to be transported to Dongjiang must first sail to Ningyuan Juehua Island and then be transported to Dongjiang.

After receiving orders from Mao, he got confused on the spot and shouted:

"This is to grab my throat and cut me, and I will die!"

Just starting from another place, why die?

Because General Mao's fleet was fishy, it not only loaded contraband, but also took merchant ships to the island by the way. Yuan's diversion broke his financial path and had to be dissolved.

He immediately went to the emperor to complain that he couldn't get through, crying and scared, but all he got was a word from the emperor: take a long-term view.

Take a long view? How to grow up and drink northwest wind?

When he was in the most difficult time, a person who was least likely to help him helped him.

As poor as a church mouse, Mao suddenly received a salary of 100,000 taels, which was specially approved by Yuan Chonghuan.

At that moment, Mao finally understood Yuan Chonghuan's intention: If you take my money, you have to listen to me.

All right, take it first, and then we'll talk slowly.

However, Yuan Chonghuan's real intention is: Take my money and you will die!

Speaking of it, Mao is one of the operatives. After decades of mixing, I am still illiterate. No matter how clever you are, you can't compare with Yuan Chonghuan.

He never dreamed that long ago, Inspector Yuan planned to kill him.

As early as the first year of Chongzhen (1628) in July, when Yuan Chonghuan was in Beijing, he once found the university student Qian Longxi and said to him:

"(Mao Longwen) Use it if you can, and kill it if you can't use it."

That's not enough. We all know how to kill them:

"Join the army and be handsome!"

Later, he gave the emperor a letter, which also clearly read:

"Last December (the first year of Chongzhen), the minister arranged that Long Wen died without being born!"

"That's settled", then nothing will be discussed.

But we still have to talk about it, because after all, Mao Zong Bing has tens of thousands of people, and they occupy an important position. If he clicks, the subordinates will get up and talk to themselves, which is very bad.

So Yuan Chonghuan decided to coax him first.

First, he paid back100,000 taels of salary, and then he sent a lot of food and condolences to General Manager Mao at the most difficult time, and sent a congratulatory letter.

Mao was finally taken in. He is very grateful. He finally left Pidao's lair and went to Ningyuan to visit Yuan Chonghuan himself.

Here comes the opportunity.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of soldiers, Mao entered Ningyuan City.

He visited Yuan Chonghuan and was warmly received. The two sides had a drink, and then ...

Then he left unharmed.

Yuan Chonghuan really wants to kill Mao, but not in Ningyuan.

Anyone with a little brain can understand this problem. If he is killed in Ningyuan, his tens of thousands of troops will either be scattered, or simply go out to be bandits, or defect. How will these messy things be collected?

So when he left, Yuan Chonghuan said to Mao, in another month, I will go to your place for a military parade, and then I will talk to you.

Because the best way to solve the problem is to kill him on his own turf.

In the second year of Chongzhen (1629), Yuan Chonghuan's fleet arrived at Shuangdao on May 29th.

Shuangdao is close to Pidao, which is a protected area for hair. On May 30th, Mao arrived in Shuangdao and met with Yuan Chonghuan.

On the first night of June, Yuan Chonghuan came to Mao's barracks and had a talk. Both sides are very polite, encouraging each other, saying that the times are difficult and we should tide over the difficulties together.

This is the first of three conversations between the two.

Since he was on his own turf, Mao naturally wanted to be down a peg or two. He took more than 3,000 soldiers and lined up on the island to prepare for Yuan Chonghuan's inspection.

On the third day of June, after the parade, Yuan Chonghuan went to the island and began to review.

Unexpectedly, Mao looked very nervous. Decades of battlefield experience told him that something might happen this day, so he was surrounded by guards with knives during the whole review process.

However, Yuan Chonghuan seemed relaxed. He didn't have many guards, but he kept laughing, which made Mao quite embarrassed.

Maybe Yuan Chonghuan's sincerity touched Mao. He drove away the guards, and in the middle of the night, he came to Yuan's camp and talked with him.

This is the second of their three conversations.

The next day, the harmonious atmosphere finally reached its peak, and the whole day was spent eating and drinking. In the evening, the fun finally began.

Mao came to the camp in Yuan Chonghuan and began his last conversation in his life.

Generally speaking, the secret talk between two people will not be revealed, just like the plot between Zhao Gao and Reese in the Qin Dynasty. If you want to know, you can only guess.

I wasn't there, and I didn't guess, but I know the content of this conversation, because Yuan Chonghuan told me.

A month later, in a recitation to the emperor, Yuan Chonghuan recorded in detail every word he and Mao said the night before the murder.

Yuan Chonghuan said:

"You stayed in the frontier for so long, really tired. You'd better come from your hometown West Lake in Hangzhou. "

Mao said to Long Wen:

"I think so, too, but the slaves are still there."

Yuan Chonghuan said:

"Someone will take your place."

Mao said to Long Wen:

"Who can take the place here?"

Yuan Chonghuan didn't answer this question, and then said:

"I'm here to work for the army. Every soldier under your command will get a silver or two, a horse and a stone of rice, distributed according to the head."

Mao said to Long Wen:

"I have 3,500 people here, and I will get the reward tomorrow."

After discussing some details, the conversation officially ended.

Mao's fate is over.

He didn't know that this night's conversation was his last chance to save his life, and all the secrets were hidden in this seemingly insignificant record.

Now, let me translate this record:

At the beginning of the conversation, Yuan Chonghuan said that the West Lake in Hangzhou was good, and explained: Mao, go back to your hometown, as long as you give up your power, you don't have to kill you.

Mao told me that I couldn't leave because of the heavy work, and explained: I am very comfortable here and don't want to leave.

Yuan Chonghuan said, you can find someone to replace you, explaining: We can't do without you here, there are many people who can replace you.

Mao said to him, who will take over the position here? Explanation: they are all my people, who can replace me!

It was a collapse, and then, it was Yuan Chonghuan's last attempt.

Yuan Chonghuan said that offering a reward per head means: Show your family how many people there are, honestly.

Mao said that 3500 people here will be rewarded tomorrow, and explained: I know you want to check my family, but I won't tell you!

If you can't talk it over, kill it.

June fifth

Yuan Chonghuan set up a big tent on the mountain, ready to summon Mao there.

Then, he walked to the side of the road and waited for Mao's arrival.

Mao lined up and prepared to go up the mountain.

Yuan Chonghuan stopped him and said, don't have so many people, just take your close generals.

Mao agreed and followed Yuan Chonghuan up the hill with his entourage.

On the way up the mountain, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly stopped and said to the assigned students around Mao:

"You are in the frontier for the country, but a welcome monthly salary. It's too difficult. Please accept my worship! "

Yuan was so polite that everyone was flattered and responded in succession. Therefore, in a hurry, many people didn't understand his next sentence:

"As long as you serve the country, you don't have to be afraid of no salary in the future."

This sentence means that even if your general manager Mao dies, as long as you continue to work, you will have food.

Walking and chatting all the way, Yuan Chonghuan was very kind, Mao was very happy, and the atmosphere was very good until the moment he entered the camp.

"Mao Longwen!" I've been telling you for three days, all I know is that it's too late for you to turn around. I just know that your ambition is always deceptive. You don't have your own headquarters. How can national laws tolerate you? "

In the face of Yuan Chonghuan's severe reprimand, Mao is still grinning-he hasn't reacted yet.

It's so sudden. How did it come to this?

Yuan Chonghuan was prepared after all, and General Mao's head was still running, so he threw out a heavyweight weapon-the Twelve Major Crimes.

These twelve major crimes include money and grain being beyond the jurisdiction, taking credit for it, rudeness, smuggling, piracy, lewdness, erecting a monument for Wei Zhongxian, and the failure of land recovery in Liaodong.

The appearance of these twelve major crimes proves that Comrade Yuan Chonghuan's skill of digging people is far from perfect.

It doesn't matter whether a person is a ghost or not. It doesn't matter whether there are facts. It is important to find them accurately and strike them hard. For example, Yang and Wei Zhongxian's "Twenty-four Deaths" is a model of this kind of official documents.

But it was not very clever of Yuan Chonghuan to plant these twelve articles on Mao Longwen. The so-called arrogance, rudeness and lewdness, as long as people have done things, can not be put on the stage. The most interesting thing is to erect a monument to Wei Zhongxian. You know, that's what Governor Yuan did. He wrote to the imperial court, suggesting that Ningyuan's Xiusheng Temple be given to Wei Zhongxian. Unfortunately, due to the early class, it did not come true.

This is all bullshit. Actually, there are only two words to say: fuck you.

Brother still doesn't understand, Yuan has sent someone to take off his official clothes and tie them up.

Mao, tied into zongzi, finally woke up and shouted:

"Long Wen is innocent!"

Dare to shout this sentence, there is a bottom, after all, is their own territory, thousands of people waiting outside, and as a first-class military attache, the total town company commanders, no one dares to kill except the emperor.

But Yuan Chonghuan dared. He dared to kill Mao for two reasons.

The first reason: He is Yuan Chonghuan, and Yuan Chonghuan, a fourth-class civilian, dares to kill the deputy commander-in-chief.

The second reason is one thing, that is, the letter he showed Mao.

When Mao saw this, he finally relented. This thing is no stranger to him, in fact, he is very familiar with it, because he has a sword of his own.

This is the end of my life.

Although the Long Wen brothers also had a bullet in their hands, it was a pity that it was given by the Emperor Apocalypse. The so-called shooting is the symbol of the emperor, not the symbol of the dead emperor. Everyone's dead. Take out the sword that the dead gave you, and it will be ok to scare the ghost. Only when you die by the sword of the current emperor can you find death.

Yuan Chonghuan, holding shots, finally spoke his mind and famous words at the moment:

"You know this school is a scholar, and this school is the head of the imperial court!"

Long Wen understood that it was hard for Mao not to bow his head today and immediately began to pretend to be a grandson:

"Long Wen knew that he had committed a capital crime and only asked the inspector for forgiveness."

The commander-in-chief recognized the cowardice, and his subordinates naturally did not help Mao, and his Ministry did not resist. He immediately knelt down for mercy and refused to let himself in.

In fact, things stop here, and it's nothing to teach Mao a lesson.

However, Yuan Chonghuan is persistent.

The situation is under control and victory is just around the corner. All this went to his head and made him say the following words:

"Mao was killed today. If our inspector can't restore everything in Liao country, he is willing to pay for it with the sword of trial!"

This is very accurate.

Then, he bowed to the capital, pulled Mao Longwen out of the camp and beheaded him.

Mao, a heavyweight in Liaodong, ended his legendary life.

Unfortunately, Mao didn't know that he could not die, because Yuan Chonghuan couldn't kill him at all, as long as he asked Yuan Chonghuan for something.

This thing is the will of the emperor.

Throughout the ages, in the stage and TV series, the sword on the side is a very awesome thing. You can carry it with you and kill whoever you want.

This view is basically the level of Beijing opera fans, not to mention other dynasties. In the Ming dynasty, the so-called shooting was used to execute the law on behalf of the emperor, but it was often just a gesture to show that the emperor trusted me and gave me something like this, which was a special reward.

Under normal circumstances, few people chop people with this thing. At most, Tom, dick and Harry were cut down, and only Yuan Chonghuan dared to kill a senior official in court.

In other words, if Yuan Chonghuan wants to kill Mao, he must have the will of the emperor. The problem is that Comrade Mao has been an official for many years and must know this. Why didn't he mention it?

I am puzzled by this question. After careful analysis of the materials, I found that Comrade Mao's approval was only due to an accidental misunderstanding:

Because when Yuan Chonghuan took out his shots and threatened to kill Mao, he once said this, which ruined all Mao's expectations.

He said, "I have been fighting Liao for five years, and I won't kill you today. How can I punish future generations? " ? That's why the emperor gave us a sword!

This is a very confusing sentence, especially the last sentence. For this reason, the emperor gave us a sword.

To this end-why on earth?

So-called for this, is to maintain discipline, that is, polite words, not specifically, because the emperor did not order, with this sword to kill Mao.

But it sounds to me like the emperor said that he would let Comrade Yuan take the guy to the island to cut himself today, so he didn't resist.

In other words, Comrade Mao Longwen accomplished nothing because he didn't learn his grammar well, didn't understand the referential relationship between subject, predicate and object, and made a mistake in the market.

Since childhood, Mao, who has rich experience in Jianghu, was killed in the mud. This is the result of not studying hard when I was a child.

People are killed, and the next step is the ass-wiping procedure.

First of all, to comfort everyone, I only kill Mao Longwen, and I will do the first crime, and I will never intimidate or induce, and then I will send money. Yuan Chonghuan took102,000 yuan (about 60 million yuan) with him and sent it all, but this way of killing people first and then dividing the money is really like robbery.

And the last and most important step is to appease.

Tens of thousands of people under Mao are basically his cronies. Yuan Chonghuan spent a lot of time to make sure that these people didn't run away. First, he replaced a group of generals and placed his cronies, and then appointed Mao's son Mao as minister. This means that although I killed your father, it's business, not yours. Please make use of you and don't make any more trouble.

Adding carrots to some sticks has a good effect. No one made a fuss, and no one objected. Yuan Chonghuan is happy to do what he has to do.

Mao just died, as if nothing had changed.

But the consequences are there, and they are very, very serious.

The happiest thing is Huang taiji. He can rest assured, because the areas controlled by Mao include Jinzhou and Lushun, except Pidao, and Mao's personality is not so good, but he is excellent. This man is dead, and even if these sites are neglected, he can attack the capital boldly.

Yuan, who was confident, decided that his aftermath was excellent, but what he didn't know was that three people in Mao's subordinate group were appeased by him. Their names are Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde.

Needless to say, these three guys are old acquaintances in various "braid plays". The first two guys rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, and later rebelled against Wu Sangui, which was called "San Francisco" in history.

And in the end, this Kong Youde is the best. He was one of the only two Han kings in the Qing Dynasty (the other was Wu Sangui). A traitor can make such a great achievement really because his traitor is thorough.

Many years later, when he was guarding Guilin, he met Li Dingguo, the first famous soldier in the late Ming Dynasty. He was beaten to death, but he was so angry that he set himself on fire. The Qing Dynasty found this brother very interesting and ratified a king.

These three guys used to be miners in Shandong, so they thought they didn't earn enough money, so they turned to pirates, and later they became full members of Mao. It turns out that only Mao can curb these three guys, because after two years, they all turned against each other.

Facts have also proved that they are quite capable. Later, when he became a traitor, he was good at fighting and made outstanding contributions to the reunification of the Qing Dynasty.

By the way, Mao's son Mao was later promoted by Yuan and later overthrown, but he was almost lucky. He didn't become a traitor and was cut.

The so-called Long Wen damn it, the result is roughly the same.
