What Chongzhen didn't want to see the most happened.

Yang He's defeat, two very serious problems were revealed behind this incident.

1. Corruption of local officials.

Why do you say so?

Yang He was defeated because Shen Yikui and others rebelled again. In late June, Shen Yikui raised his arms and shouted, and more than 100,000 people responded, and they rushed from Shaanxi to Henan.

2. The relaxation of military and political affairs.

Why do you say so?

Yang He was attacked by Shen Yikui and was attacked by Wang Jiayin in the rear, so he was defeated.

In this process, Hong Chengchou can help.

But he didn't.

This is a very common phenomenon in the late Ming Dynasty. The army was in charge of its own affairs and had barriers and contradictions between each other.

As early as before and after the Battle of Hunhe in Liaodong, the Qi family army, Baigan army and the Liaodong army had severe conflicts, which gave Nurhaci the opportunity to defeat each of them.

So much so that the blood stained the Hun River and the Baigang Army was wiped out.

Later, the Qi family army was wiped out, and the Liaodong army was wiped out!

The elites were lost.

Is it really impossible to fight?

It is because there are many conflicts between the army and their ties are unfaithful.

Hong Chengchou is a very capable person, but he is a utilitarian, a typical person who gives money and does things.

Of course, the money given by the emperor must meet his psychological standards, but he knows very well how to preserve his strength, because only in this way can he have the confidence to need more resources.

Of course, Chongzhen didn't like this kind of person, but he could accept this way of doing things.

Don't have too much expectations for human nature.

It is an extremely childish idea to think that everyone should be loyal to themselves.

Everyone is human, and being human is selfish. Morality can restrain people's behavior to a certain extent, but it does not play a decisive role. Using moral standards to measure talents is a very unreliable way of playing.

Therefore, Chongzhen did not have the anger of Hong Chengchou.

Not only because there is no need to be angry, but also because Hong Chengchou is on the front line now, and he cannot have too much influence on him, otherwise he is cheating on his own people.

He just wrote a letter to Hong Chengchou, which means that he hopes that he will act immediately and eliminate the rebellion before September.

However, the defeat of Yang He had a great political impact.

Why do you say so?

First, countless people in the court are now impeaching Yang He.

Some people directly pointed out that Yang He's comforting strategy is not feasible and is the wrong method.

Some people say that Yang He is not capable and cannot be competent for the position of the governor of the three sides.

Of course, more people say that to eliminate the rebellion, they must directly use more force.

Second, the court should no longer use food to negotiate with the mob, as this will only boost their strength.

This directly denied the strategy of appeasement that the emperor had agreed to before.

Not only that, some officials also took the opportunity to cause trouble, magnify this rebellion unprecedentedly, and maliciously create panic in the court.

Just like Wei Zhongyun, the Minister of War, said bluntly: If the riots cannot be suppressed this year, the court's expenditure will increase exponentially. Once the military affairs in Liaodong are in a tight position, the court will be overwhelmed and will become a big deal.

For a moment, the court was full of ups and downs.

Wang Qiao, Minister of War, suggested that Guanning Army be called immediately to quell the rebellion.

This proposal attracted a lot of people's approval for a while.

On July 10th, Chongzhen placed 50 memorials on his desk, suggesting that the emperor draw troops from Liaodong to return.

Liaodong cannot be accepted.

Moreover, the ups and downs in the court are now, and behind these voices, there is another political purpose.

What purpose?
