A well-known anti-Lindong figure, although wronged, actually has a deep relationship with Lindong's complex society and tends to be a neutral person in Lindong. "Fang is prosperous, the world is clean, and those who are different will be ashamed!" Fortunately, Lin Dong's attacker is close to himself, and the aid is heavy. The neutral class is bound by the villains. "(Biography of Cui Huang Keren in Ming Dynasty (Volume 256).
[Edit this paragraph] official career
In the forty-fourth year of Wanli, he took an entrance examination with Ruan Dacheng of Huaining. After another three years, Shiying was appointed as the director of Nanjing Household Department. At the time of the apocalypse, I moved to Langzhong and learned about Yanzhou, Henan and Datong. Chongzhen moved to Yanghe Road in Shanxi for three years. In the past five years, the Rightists and Rightists have been suggested and the Governor announced the government. In the first month of this official's life, he took thousands of dollars from public funds and handed it over to the court. He was sent to the garrison by Wang Kun, the eunuch guarding the court. But this is the official practice, and the object of tribute to the nobility is also Lindong people who have a high status in North Korea. Therefore, at that time, a considerable number of people in Lindong Fushe wrote that this was called the Yandang trap.
Try to stay in Nanjing. At that time, Dacheng filed a case in his name, neglected his duties for a long time to avoid thieves, and was very happy with Shiying.
At that time, Ruan Dacheng's poems were "sung side by side with Dong Jia, corps commander, Bai and Ma", and he also said that "those who know are important, which means that ... it is really the authentic clique of Ci writers". Ruan's troupe was the best at that time, and it was called Jinling No.1; And its prosperity, "South China and tourism are more, ... sit and die as before; The scholar-bureaucrat is tender and eager to send it. " It can be seen that Ma Shiying is not the only one who is very happy.
However, after a while, Fu and the traitor secretly conspired to raise political funds. Dacheng tried to eliminate hostility with Lin Dong, so he donated 2000 yuan to help him. After worshipping Zhou, he entered the cabinet as a record and wanted to repay his kindness. I gave up because of the opposition of my colleague Lin Dong. Dacheng pushes himself in time. Shiying has gone up again.
Ma Shiying once said, "What if people are angry?" ? Although, what if? To Zhang Aerospace Milk (Zhang Pu), traveling thousands of miles in January, who asked if death is like heaven? "It's quite heroic. He said that you should not talk about one spirit. Who can compare with me? I ran a funeral for Zhang Pu, a thousand miles a month. Who else, like me, would ask a dead Zhang Pu? Although Zhang Pu was a giant of Lindong and the founder of the complex society, most people in Lindong were in a hurry to discuss the distribution of official positions with Zhou Yanru at that time, and the last person separated by a layer arranged affairs for him.
The relationship between Ma Shiying and Zhang Pu: The reason is that Ruan Dacheng made good friends with Zhang Pu. During the Chongzhen period, he used his relationship with Quanfeng to run for Zhou Yanru's recovery together with Zhang Qian. After Zhou Yanru's comeback, Ruan Dacheng asked him to recommend himself, but Zhou Yanru was forced to use the "counter-case" middleman because he had a gentleman's agreement with Lindong-Fushe, so he negotiated with Ruan Dacheng, and finally. When Ma Shiying was put into use, he was still in the garrison, that is to say, he was still an exile with crimes. At that time, he didn't know what the appointment was about, and it was not until later that he realized that Ruan Dacheng had done it, so he was grateful to Ruan. And his relationship with Zhang Pu started from this point, so after Zhang Pu's death, in order to manage his own affairs, he traveled thousands of miles in January. He is a hero, and his temperament is loyal, which can be seen in this matter.
He is still so persistent about Zhang Pu, which is separated by a layer. He recommended Ruan Dacheng's kindness and made him rich today. Of course, he will report it anyway, so he will try his best to get Ruan Dacheng back in the Ming Dynasty.
Some people say: "Shi Shi is a mediocre man, but he is Dacheng's puppet!" It is ridiculous to think that if you are in power, you will be crowned as a monkey.
Ma Shiying traveled around his government and was quite talented in practice. Among those who were in charge of military affairs in the late Ming Dynasty, Ma Shiying's ability was about between Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan. Although he was not a wizard, he was quite excellent in the case of the general incompetence of the late Ming Dynasty.
In fact, it is precisely because of Ma Shiying's qualified due diligence that Jiangnan has always been a paradise that is not threatened by peasant rebels. However, it is this idyllic atmosphere that encourages the arrogance, stupidity and imbecility of Lindong party member. In the end, because of this arrogance, stupidity and low energy, Nan Ming hardly did any effective mobilization work to resist the Manchu Dynasty and was annihilated by World War I. ..
Seventeen years of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty? ( 1644)? In March, Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and Ming Zongyi hanged himself in Zhu Youjian. Ministers in Nanjing rushed to discuss the establishment of a new monarch. Han He, a eunuch now, and Liu Kongzhao, a famous minister, and Huang Degong, Huang Degong, Huang Hehe, who were outside, established the Axe King and Zhu Yousong in Nanjing, and established the first Nanming regime, namely An Zongting or Hong Guang Dynasty. Generally speaking, it is the national salvation Coalition government and the United front of all parties. But Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others hold real power. Ma Shiying was appointed as a university student of Dongge and the right remonstrator of Douchayuan, and still supervised military affairs in Fengyang and other places.
[Edit this paragraph] On the issue of establishing a new monarch
In the "big gift" in Jiajing period and the "struggle for the country" in Wanli period, Lindong scholars fought for blood and long positions. According to their theory, Wang Axe and Zhu Yousong are the only candidates.
First of all, Zhu Yousong, the father of the axe king, is older than Zhu Changrun and Zhu, and Zhu Yousong is his eldest son. He and Chongzhen are contemporaries, but his cousin. Therefore, regardless of seniority, or in accordance with the "brother" precedent of Jiajing's succession, he is obviously superior to Wang Hui and the Ghost King.
As for the strong king Zhu Changfang, there is not only a layer of blood relationship, but also a generation of Chongzhen, which is unlikely to get him in turn.
However, at this time, quite a few Lindong party member began to stir up their mouths. They kept silent about Jiajing's "great discussion ceremony" and Wanli's "serving the country", but began to talk about "establishing sages".
It can be seen that the tongue on the human body is really the most boneless and soft thing.
Ethical order belongs to the axe king. Ministers are worried about the welfare of the king, or complain about cases such as "demon book", "dismissal from office" and "moving the palace"; Li has no future trouble, and he can take credit for it. Qian, assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, who focuses on Yin, insisted on Lu Daqi, assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhang and Zhan Jiang's opinions were all right. Lei, a former Shandong provincial judge, lobbied with Shang Shuzhou, a minister of rites.
Shi Kefa secretly made an appointment with Ma Shiying and met him privately in Pukou. From this point of view, Shi Kefa has a higher political vision than Qian and others.
Ma Shiying's current attitude is quite pro-Lin Dong, and he is determined to make a significant contribution. So the two men quickly reached an agreement and secretly agreed on a compromise plan that did not offend each other, that is, to give up peace and solid king and support Zhu. Shi Kefa wrote back to Nanking the day after he arrived in Pukou, and put forward a plan, that is, to establish, and at the same time, according to the ancient marshal system of military forces (2), the king of Lu temporarily took command of military forces.
Lin Dong's forces are entrenched in Nanjing. In fact, as long as it is not Axe King and Zhu Yousong who inherit the throne, no matter who they choose, they will not have any opinions. So as soon as they received Shi Kefa's plan, they didn't immediately prepare all kinds of ceremonies, but planned to go to Guangxi to meet Wang Gui and replace Nanjing.
From this, it can be seen that Lindong "Lu Yong" sent party member's so-called "training people" for the country, which is simply for their own interests and regardless of the slogan of the country. If they really want to "establish a saint" for their country, they should persist in "supporting the firm" and fight to the end. How can the candidates for the king and emperor of a country change like this? !
From this point of view, Qian, Lu Daqi and others are far from their predecessors in Wanli period, which is exactly what Dongpo said: a crab is not as good as a crab. For whatever reason, those predecessors are far superior to Qian and others, even if they dare to lose their official positions and heads and fight against the emperor regardless of their lives.
Shi Kefa was very clear at that time. When he privately discussed with Jiang about the candidates for supporting soldiers, he first said to the matter of "supporting soldiers firmly": "This soldier is also!" In this way, Zhu Changfang, the king of Lu, was denied, and then he said, "Take your uncle with you and listen to Guan Zhong's words to govern;" According to Yi Ya, the prescription is chaotic. What we advocate today is not just listening, but listening. What's wrong? (9) "This statement clearly expresses his tendency, and at the same time shows that his heart is actually very clear, even if it is to establish the inheritance right of the axe king, this is not enough.
Unfortunately, on such a major political issue related to national security, Shi, the first minister in charge of the founding power, was extremely disappointing.
After his above remarks were leaked, all those who were "firm" were in a fierce mood, and public opinion exploded. Shi Kefa shrank back at once. He didn't dare to show his political attitude. He argued that Wang Lun Axe was in the position of taking a stand in order and "holding his ground" or would start recruiting. He didn't dare to stick to his own point of view and stand up and explain his understanding of this issue to dispel people's doubts about "holding his ground", but he was timid and "shunned" (10), and finally came up with one.
This scheme of "supporting Guangxi" is inappropriate. The cousin of Emperor Chongzhen was not established, but the uncle of Emperor Chongzhen was established. Although everyone was created by Emperor Wanli, what about the apocalypse and Emperor Chongzhen? Where do you put the axe king? Drive it or kill it? Therefore, its essence is not much different from that of "holding firm".
Second, it is extremely lack of operability, and it is better to "hold the group." Zhu Changfang, the king of Lu, is as close to Huai 'an and the axe king, and can reach Nanjing in a few days. While Guiwang is thousands of miles away in Guangxi, it is not clear what the current situation is. In addition, it will take several months to go back and forth to meet the coachman. Then maybe Wang Gui has not arrived in Nanjing, and Dashun Army or Qing Army will have already arrived in Enemy at the Gates.
Based on the policy of "supporting Guangxi", the biggest advantage is that Lindong party member has no opinion, and it also gives some reasons to ministers who care about ethics, but does not consider the meaning of the country and the old Emperor Chongzhen. This is purely a big trick that Shi Kefa came up with to appease Lin Dong's forces.
In this case, from the perspective of knowledge and political means, Shi Kefa knew something, but he was indecisive and worried. He didn't have the determination and courage of any politician, and he didn't dare to cut the gordian knot to stabilize the situation, so that he had to avoid disasters and lost the opportunity to reorganize the court. Judging from his integrity and character, he neither dedicated himself to his country nor to the death of Emperor Chongzhen. When encountering resistance and opposition, he didn't even have the courage to speak out. He just hoped not to offend all forces. Compared with his teacher Zuo Guangdou, it is as different as Chen Yuanlong and Xu Li getting up (1 1).
After Fengyang's "sticking to the official position" was a foregone conclusion, Ma Shiying led fifty thousand troops to defend the axe king and Zhu Yousong and went straight to Yizhen. The Axe King took Shi Kefa to Nanjing and then went to Nanjing, while Ma Shiying led an army to stay in Nanjing (12).
He used Ruan Dacheng, and had many disputes with Party members and their former Qi Party butchers. Some Lindong party member made friends with warlord Zuo Liangyu and planned a coup. After being discovered, he flagrantly launched a civil war. Ma Shiying and others are also dominated by civil war. When did the two sides fight in the first year of Hong Guang? (1645) In the spring, Prince Yu of Jianzhou led many troops south. At the beginning of May, Nanjing fell and the Hong Guang court perished. Ma Shiying went south to Zhejiang, Hangzhou, Shaoxing and other places, and took Empress Dowager Cixi to attack Jianzhou. Finally, he joined the Rising Army of Changxing Wu Bo and continued to fight thieves in Taihu Lake. After the failure of the struggle, he was captured and killed by Jianzhou Army in Taihu Lake. After Ma Shiying fled Taizhou, he went to Siming Mountain for a haircut and became a monk. Jianzhou Baylor ordered him to peel and die heroically. However, it was falsely accused by scum that "the grass grows with Yao and dies with the grass."
Note: The picture shows a rare Ming Dynasty painting by Ma Shiying?
As the saying goes, a scholar can know the righteousness and die far above Lin Dong.
