Chapter 53 A Desperate Situation

The Daxi Army not only protected the personal safety of the landlords and gentry in Yunnan, but also Sun Kewang and others also recruited scholars from Enke in Yunnan on a large scale, recruiting Yunnan literati to work in the body.

This time it hit the vital point of the Yunnan gentry. Where is Yunnan in our Ming Dynasty?The power of the central government has nothing to do with Yunnan scholars.

In order to stabilize his basic situation, Sun Kewang appointed a large number of Yunnan scholars as officials. Wan Niance and others are typical representatives.

Although the Yongli court in Guangdong and Guangxi was the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, its eye-catching performance made the knowledgeable people among the Yunnan gentry believe that such a court could not shoulder its heavy responsibilities and could not protect their interests.

So Sun Guozhu became the wise master in the eyes of Yunnan gentry.

After the Yongli court became ugly in the Qin Dynasty, the Yunnan gentry bet on Sun Kewang one after another.

In addition to Zhang Sheng, Zhang Hu and others driving the former army generals, there are many Yunnan literati who want Sun Kewang to ascend to the throne.

As the saying goes, "It is hopeful that the gentry will be attached to it, and there will be many people who persuade it. Therefore, the censor proposed that he can be expected to be the lord of the country, and set up six departments...to build a palace and appoint hundreds of officials."

In the past, Yunnan scholars, who had almost no say in the court, almost filled Sun Kewang's six administrative departments.

With a bright future ahead, the gentry in Yunnan longed for Sun Kewang to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan and regard Yunnan as the land of Longxing.

In the 300 years of his mother's Ming Dynasty, how many central government officials have been produced by Yunnan talents. If this assists Sun Guozhu to achieve a great cause, I, a Yunnan native, will have the final say in the whole world!

When Sun Guozhu was powerful, the Yunnan gentry fully supported Sun Kewang.

Ren Zun, one of the six administrative departments of Guiyang, even claimed that "the fate of the Ming Dynasty is over, and there is nothing to do", and used the technique of "Dayi and Liuren" to publicize Sun Kewang and Emperor Yongli as "two dragons".

There are countless such acts of 'overreaching'. In addition, according to the rules of the past dynasties, some people have thoughtfully arranged for Sun Guozhu to offer auspiciousness.

Not only the Yunnan gentry bet on Sun Guozhu, but also some people in the Yongli court saw that Sun Kewang was powerful, so they also decided to bet on Sun Kewang.

One of the representatives is Sun Guozhu's licking dog Ma Jixiang.

"Today, King Qin's power is poured inside and out... I will be the confidant of King Qin. The public will be the wings, and then Xu Mouzun will be the Supreme Emperor and give way to the King of Qin. Then our generation will be rich and honored."

It's a pity that our Sun Guozhu is a person who wants to do big things at this time. His Guiyang Six Departments can not only lick, but more importantly, can do things!

Therefore, no matter how Ma Jixiang licked Sun Guozhu, Sun Guozhu never looked at him. All the ministers of the Yongli court were settled in Anlong, and were given 8000 taels of silver and [-] shi rice every year.As for the power in Yunnan, these people can’t even think about it!

When Sun Kewang was gaining momentum, the suppressed Yongli court also began to save itself.

Minister Qian Bangjin once wrote a letter to Sun Kewang, hoping that he would "entrust him with the emperor's promotion and promotion of civil and military affairs, and ask the imperial court to order him to stop his conquests."

That is to say, Sun Kewang's promotion and dismissal of civil and military officials should be reported to the emperor, and the battle and march should be subject to the arrangement of the Nanming court. Such a suggestion, Sun Guozhu, naturally scoffed.

As a result, the officials and gentry of Can Ming, who had been marginalized and suppressed, began to look for people within Xiying who could protect their own interests.

They encouraged Li Dingguo and other Xiying soldiers to "lead the tigers and wipe out the courts... In the future, we will divide the grass and land and pass it on to the world!".

It has to be said that this kind of spring and autumn righteousness has enough influence among the simple generals of the Great Western Army.

Under the instigation of his staff Jin Weixin and others, Li Dingguo determined to follow the example of "Guan, Zhang, and Jiang Boyue", tied himself to the chariot of Emperor Yongli and the Nanming regime, and prepared to do it with Sun Kewang.

Later, Li Dingguo succeeded Yongli and took control of Yunnan. He "respected the emperor" politically, "corrected the expected failure" and "cleared the fields" economically, and fully restored the old system of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Li Dingguo's move to abolish the camp was almost catastrophic in terms of the overall situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty, it has to be said that it was precisely because of his restoration of the old system that he was able to gain the support of a large number of Yunnan gentry and quickly established a foothold in Yunnan.

From the perspective of Sun Lizhidou alone, this economic card is indeed very good. The Yunnan gentry who originally supported Sun Kewang quickly split under the huge economic benefits, and many people turned to support Li Dingguo.

However, not to mention Wanniance and other literati who were no longer able to get off the boat, the struggle for power in the central government alone was enough to cause extremely severe opposition among the Yunnan gentry.

After Li Dingguo entered Yunnan, "everything is said to be ordered by the emperor, and he cannot be free."

He also claimed to be a "loyal minister" in the Southern Ming Dynasty, "When the army marches and stops, it is engaged in by imperial edict."

Not only that, Li Dingguo also changed the Daxi Army's tradition of "no longer appointing officials based on official duties" of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and appointed officials from the Yongli court on a large scale.

In addition, he also handed over the extremely important "Forbidden Army" of the capital's garrison to Mu Tianbo to suppress the "internal thieves". Those old Yunnan officials who transported grain and grass for him in Yunnan and Guizhou after he became famous queen.

As a result, "Jixiang and Jin Weixin competed to steal the government, Dingguo listened to his bewitching, and the treacherous party spread out", while the old people in the Daxi Peasant Army, the old people in Yunnan promoted by Sun Kewang, their status was declining day by day, and they "dereliction of duty" one after another.

Li Dingguo's actions not only harmed the interests of Sun Kewang alone, but also made the entire Yunnan gentry greatly dissatisfied with the loss of power.

Things have developed to such a point that there is no hope for Kangqing.

The original Yunnan-Guizhou anti-Qing base from the court to the local area, the generally stable situation has disappeared.

With Li Dingguo's entry into Yunnan and Guizhou, Yunnan has become a powder keg.

Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang.

Yongli imperial court and administrative department six.

The Jin vassal civil and military officials were in the same line as the rulers of the country.

Remnant officials and Yunnan gentry.

Even among the gentry in Yunnan, there were extremely serious divisions in front of Li Dingguo's economic interests and Sun Kewang's political interests.

"Li Dingguo entered Yunnan, the government has been renewed, and the clothes have been revived!
"Ji Xiang and Jin Wei's new friends competed to steal the government, Dingguo listened to his bewitching, and the treacherous party spread."

It represents two different mentalities of the Yunnan gentry. On the one hand, with the abolition of the Zhuangzhuang system, the Yunnan gentry has gained a lot of economic benefits. On the other hand, the appointment of a large number of officials in the Yongli Dynasty has caused the loss of political power. The Yunnan gentry were quite dissatisfied.

All in all, the political situation in Yunnan has turned into a mess, a veritable powder keg.

In this case, it's not bad that the gunpowder keg didn't blow itself up, anti-clearing?What kind of Qing can it resist?

And Li Dingguo's attack on Liu Wenxiu will trigger a new round of storms, causing the powder keg to explode completely. With this final madness, the Southwest Anti-Qing Base will come to an end.

(The introduction of the situation in Yunnan is over, let them fight first. I really want to vomit blood when I summarize the historical materials, but I want to write these things again. Many things need to be looked at in all aspects to find out the reason. King Jin has a lot of blood In fact, looking at the operation from another angle, it seems understandable, after all, he wants to quickly gain a foothold in Yunnan, and the abolition of the camp is the best way to unite the gentry.)
(After all, it was not because our Qing Dynasty protected the interests of the gentry that it was able to quickly gain a foothold in North China and defeated the "perverse" King Li Chuang. When King Jin was on the weak side, he used this ultimate move to deal with the king. Unreasonable, expected.)
