Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 100 Jin Yiwei, the emperor's army
Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army, in charge of the emperor's guard of honor and bodyguards, as well as the power of prison, patrol and arrest, and engage in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities. The power is so great that it is rare in history.

In the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei was favored, Feiyu wore embroidered spring knives, and commanders could even wear Qilin robes worn by princes and marquises.

Although the Emperor Xiandi had abolished the East Factory and had many restrictions on the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei was always a giant and was still favored by the emperor, but as the emperor's own army and imperial forest, why did the former emperor Meishan die with only one eunuch Wang Cheng'en by his side? ?Daming has no loyal ministers?Jin Yiwei all rebelled?
Before the emperor hanged himself, he tried to leave the city through Andingmen, Qihuamen and other gates, but failed. This means that all the city gates in the capital have been captured or will soon be captured by Li Chuang. In fact, the official army has already been defeated. Walk.

With the strength of the late emperor, it is naturally impossible to surrender, so when the late emperor returned to the palace, he actually had the will to die, and the court bell that Wang Chengen rang was really a death knell.

The country has been supporting scholars for 300 years, but how can there be no loyal ministers?

It's just that the Chuangjun has already entered the city, and the loyal ministers can no longer enter the palace!
When the first emperor rang the bell, the minister had already died for the country!Wang Yan's teacher Liu Lishun's family of more than ten members died in the world. The minister Wang Guoxing heard that the city had fallen, and set fire to his bedside, sitting in danger and dying.When the thief reached the embers, he saw that his corpse was still sitting in danger facing the south.

When the first emperor hanged himself, why didn't there be a son of heaven by his side?

In Guan Xiandi's life, his personality can be described as extremely headstrong, and to a certain extent, he was a person with a good face.

Such a person, when he came to a dead end and chose to hang himself, how could he let outsiders be by his side? Although Jin Yiwei is a personal guard, only eunuchs are the emperor's people, so at that time, the first emperor would not let Jin Yiwei follow him by my side.

In the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei spies spread all over the world, and their strength was strong. When Wanli aided the dynasty, they even sent spies into Japan, which shows their great ability.

Then why is it so huge, why after the Jiashen change, it has no merits, as if it disappeared in smoke?

This is because when the northern capital was destroyed, Jin Yiwei also defended and suffered heavy losses.

Jinyiwei is first of all a special military organization. Although it is directly controlled by the emperor and has its own particularity, it still cannot change its military nature.

In the case of the Jiashen Incident, Jin Yiwei first went to the front line to guard the city gate, and most of them died in battle while defending the city.

This point can be tested in history that Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyi Guards, was ordered to guard Chongwenmen, and committed suicide after breaking the city.

The chief officer is dead, and the casualties of his subordinates can be imagined.

Jin Yiwei, Wang Shide, after the city was broken, his wife Wei first threw his daughter down the well, and then jumped to his death with his niece in his arms. Seventeen women in the family died. , and finally crossed the Jianghuai area in the south. At that time, the Hongguang Dynasty made great efforts to implement the Shun case, but it was not available, and lived in seclusion in Baoying County.

After Li Chuang entered Beijing, a large number of Jinyiwei officials were tortured to death, or committed suicide. Those who were tortured to death included Sun Guang, the admiral of the Xisifang, Liu Yingxi, Ma Guoyu, Qi Changguo, and Beizhen Fu Si Li Xing commanded Liang Qinghong and others. Among those who committed suicide, Gao Wencai of a thousand households and his son committed suicide after killing the whole family.

The destruction of the Northern Capital made Jinyiwei look like a person whose brains had been removed. Although there were still spies all over the country, they were like a paralyzed person who had siblings but could not move.

What hit Jin Yiwei even more seriously was that all kinds of secret spy documents and identity certificates were either burned or fell into the hands of Dashun and the Qing court, especially the commander Luo Yangxing who mastered many secrets, the commanders Wang Pengchong, Qiao Ke, etc. The surrender of the leader made Jin Yiwei, who continued to be loyal to Ming Dynasty, no secret at all.

After the Qing court entered the customs, Jinyiwei was incorporated again, and Jinyiwei was renamed Luanyiwei, which almost collapsed the huge Jinyiwei. (Historically, the Qing court abolished its powers of arrest and arrest in July of the third year of Shunzhi.) After the establishment of the Hongguang Dynasty, Ma Shiying's son Ma Luan took over the post of commander of Jinyiwei. He relied on the remaining Jinyiwei forces in Nanjing to rebuild Jinyiwei. No matter how much support there is, there is always nothing to do, and following the Battle of Wuhu, as a commander, Ma Luan's whereabouts in the chaos were unknown, and Jinyiwei, which had just been rebuilt for a year, was hit hard again.

At this time, with the collapse of both capitals, all the materials and documents of Jinyiwei were lost, and almost all contact with secret spies was severed.

Wang Yan didn't expect that the person who helped him get rid of it was actually a member of the Jinyiwei, he couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart, and hurriedly told him to wait.

At this time, he looked at these emperors who were close to the army, where there was still a sliver of demeanor in the past. In the past, flying fish suits, embroidered spring knives, fresh clothes and angry horses, full of ambition and frivolity, but today they lost all glory because of the ruin of their family and country.

Wang Zhilong is the head of these surviving brocade guards, he has a beard on his lips, thick hair and a thick beard, a muscular figure, and there seems to be a trace of righteousness in his eyes, which makes Wang Yan very happy, and now let everyone in the courtyard register themselves, and he is Write down one by one.

It was only then that Wang Yan learned that they were originally Jinyiwei secret agents hiding everywhere, but now that the imperial archives fell into the hands of the Qing court, their identities were exposed and they were hunted down by the Qing court secret agents, so they hid in Nanjing City and kept secrets. Collect information and prepare to contact the Zhejiang court.

Today, they suddenly saw Qing troops mobilizing in Nanjing city, and they didn't know what happened. While they were terrified, they learned the news that Qing soldiers had arrested Wang Yan, and scattered around the city to investigate. The scene of the child, but Wang Yan quickly avoided Zhu Guobi when he saw Zhu Guobi, and immediately attracted Wang Zilong's attention.

Jin Yiwei is good at espionage, and there are countless capable people and strangers among them. Wang Zhilong is one of them. He is good at disguise and make-up. In his opinion, the disguise method of Wang Yan and others is really clumsy and pathetic, so he quickly saw through it. Because of Wang Yan's identity, he was introduced to the courtyard.

Zhu Guobi followed Wang Yan all the way through the streets and alleys, but he still couldn't see Wang Yan in the end. He couldn't help feeling puzzled, but he didn't know who it was.

After he thought hard and failed, Sui could only shake his head, then beat his horse and left the alley, heading out of the city.

The power of the Qing court in Nanjing City is not strong, and it is obviously very disadvantageous for Tulai to arrest Wang Yan in the area of ​​Nanzhili. Outside, to assist the Qing soldiers to arrest.

Zhu Guobi rode his horse and walked slowly, thinking about what happened just now in his mind. Before he knew it, he came to the gate of the city. He was about to leave the city when his gaze fell on the notice of sea arrest posted on the city wall.

Thanks to Mrs. **Si, Long Min, AX, the dream is getting farther and farther away from me, the autumn of the tenth year of Xining, Tang Doudou 123, shyion for the reward, thank you for your support.
