117 Min Hongxue
Min Hongxue, a native of Wucheng, Zhejiang, became a jinshi in the 26th year of Wanli, in March of the second year of the Apocalypse, with the right deputy capital Yushi and Yunnan governor, suppressed the Yunnan turmoil affected by the Qianshu Rebellion, which lasted five years and eight months.
In Wen Tiren's recital, in addition to briefly writing about Min Hongxue's experience, a summary of the recital written by Min Hongxue during this period is also attached, that is, the twelve volumes of "Fudian Songcao".
The names of these songs alone made Hu Guang, a latecomer, shine. For example, "Please open the Yue Road" and "Please open the Yunnan Road and Shu together", which are very in line with the concept of later generations, whether you want to get rich or go to quell the rebellion, you must first build the road.
Hu Guang can see from the name that this is a request to promote education in these remote areas of Yunnan, and it is a necessary measure to promote the Wanghua, and it is also worthy of recognition.
In addition, there are "donating money to help workers", "leading to help workers", "donating money to the side" and so on, which is the rhythm of donating money and setting an example for the public undertakings in Yunnan. This kind of thing is rare in later generations.
Suddenly, Hu Guang saw one, and immediately understood the real reason why Wen Tiren recommended Min Hongxue. At the end of the "Please Write Money for Minting", "Answer Money Law", and "Solve the Surplus Money Shu" listed in the chapter, Wen Tiren noted in small print that Min Hongxue promoted the money law in Yunnan, ended the backward situation of Yunnan's long-term use of "sea shells" as currency, and unified it with the rest of the country.
Hu Guang saw that his eyebrows were flying, and immediately asked the eunuch on duty to find out all the pieces of Min Hongxue. He had a feeling that he couldn't wait to read all of Min Hongxue's recitals. He had a vague feeling that this Min Hongxue was likely to be an all-rounder in politics, military, and economics.
Wen Tiren was given to sit down, and after looking at the emperor's demeanor, a smile appeared on his face, knowing that his recommendation should be in line with the emperor's intentions.
The canons were quickly transferred, and Hu Guang took advantage of the literary level of Emperor Yuan Chongzhen to read all the recitals in one go. And then Fujuan was pleased, this is really a good talent!
However, there is one point, Hu Guang is more puzzled, logically speaking, Min Hongxue is also a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and he has such political achievements and skills, why is he not famous in later generations?
He actually didn't know that there was a biography of Min Hongxue in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" that was originally completed at the end of the Kangxi Dynasty, but his biography was deleted in the later palace book "History of the Ming Dynasty". The "History of the Ming Dynasty" compiled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty through three dynasties does not know how many real heroes and heroes have been covered.
Moreover, the twelve volumes of Min Hongxue's "Fudian Songcao" have disappeared in later generations, and it was later discovered in the Japanese cabinet library that it reappeared.
These can be corroborated from the introduction of only a few sentences of Min Hongxue's Baidu Encyclopedia.
Hu Guang can be described as a dragon-faced Dayue, and happily said to Wen Tiren: "Wen Qing, you recommend it well!" As long as it is a talent, no matter how close or close you are, you will recommend it to me, haha! ”
"By the way, what about others?" Hu Guang had the urge to meet this Min Hongxue and interview in person, and after just asking, he said to the eunuch on duty: "Spread the decree, summon ......"
Seeing this, Wen Tiren had to stand up, bow down and say, "Your Majesty, Min Taibao returned home to recuperate due to illness in the first year of Chongzhen. ”
After Min Hongxue was transferred from Yunnan, he served as the imperial historian of the right capital of Nanjing, and soon added the title of the crown prince Taibao hereditary brocade clothes to command the affairs. Then it came to the first year of Chongzhen and retired due to illness.
When Hu Guang heard this, he couldn't help but slightly upturn the corners of his mouth, as if this matter was not so simple! Could it be that the original Emperor Chongzhen vigorously cracked down on the eunuchs after he ascended the throne and reused all the Donglin party members, which affected this Min Hongxue?
He didn't know that in the original history, in the third year of Chongzhen, Wen Tiren recommended Min Hongxue to Emperor Chongzhen, and finally Min Hongxue served as the imperial history of the left capital. But when Chongzhen was the secretary of the ministry in the fourth year, Wen Tiren served as the first assistant, and he was attacked by the Donglin party, and finally returned home in the autumn of Chongzhen's sixth year, and then there was no day to go out of the mountain.
Although Hu Guang guessed something, he was no longer the original Chongzhen Emperor who couldn't distinguish between good and evil, as long as he had the ability, he would not let him be wronged!
After Hu Guang pondered for a while, he said to Wen Tiren: "Wen Qing, Jianyu is stationed in Deshengmen, and although other places are only ranger patrols, I am afraid it is inconvenient for me to send angels to summon him. Do you think that's okay? ”
"You Qing came forward and summoned him to come to Beijing, and at the same time he conveyed his will and summoned Min Hongxue to Beijing, will he come?"
As soon as he heard the two words, Wen Tiren knew what the emperor meant, and immediately smiled slightly, knowing that this was the benefit of the chat group. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, so it's okay!" ”
"Okay, then I'll pull you in and talk to him." After Hu Guang finished speaking, his consciousness entered the chat group.
The answer between the two of them made the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting on the side inexplicable, and they could only attribute it to their lack of knowledge, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly.
At this time, Sun Chengzong, who was far away in Shanhaiguan, was already restless, and he couldn't see the calmness of an old man who had been weathered for a long time, nor did he have the composure of an old man in Daming Pavilion, pacing back and forth in front of Liu Xingzuo from time to time, sitting and getting up.
In comparison, Liu Xingzuo was more calm, but then he couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a fist: "Ge Lao, do you want to send someone to urge?" ”
There have been reports from Kuaima before, saying that it was a great victory in Changli, but the war report has not yet arrived, because there is no final conclusion.
Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized that he was in a hurry. However, he had to be in a hurry! Since Jianyu invaded the land of Gyeonggi, Jianyu has been like a bamboo, defeating and defeating the Ming army is like playing, and the Ming army is like paper paste in front of Jianyu.
Sun Chengzong was ordered to be in danger, and in the face of the devastation in the land of Gyeonggi, the pressure he felt was not in his position, and it was really difficult to understand. For this reason, he had to keep the most elite Guan Ning army, personally sit here, and ask Zu Dashou to ask his face, just to have a trump card that can deal with Jianyu.
Now Changli has 7,000 prisoners, but he can win in one battle, and this kind of big victory is a real big victory. With such a victory, when the good news spread throughout Gyeonggi, it was not only a strong support for the Gyeonggi Division, but also a great boost to the morale of King Qin's army, which in turn hit the morale of the Jianyu, so that the war would change, or even turn a corner.
He was in a hurry, when he suddenly heard movement outside, and the cheers were mixed with the shouts of the messenger of "Changli great victory, kill the ......", and went straight to the yamen lobby.
The long-awaited messenger has finally arrived!
