Chapter 164: Palace Relocation Case ([-])
"It is said that on the day Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo passed away, Yang Lian, Liu Yixiu and other courtiers went straight to the Qianqing Palace and asked to cry to Taichang Emperor. By the way, please see the emperor's eldest son Zhu Youxiao."

"However, Zhu Youxiao was a sweet potato at that time, because the courtiers wanted to find him to discuss the matter of ascension, but they were blocked by Li Xuanshi, but under the hard work of the ministers, the ministers still saw Zhu Youxiao. .”

"It is said that after Yang Lian, Liu Yixiu and others saw Zhu Youxiao, they directly shouted long live, and escorted Zhu You to leave Qianqing Palace and come to Wenhua Palace to accept the worship of the officials."

"And decided to hold the enthronement ceremony on the sixth day of the month, that is, September 1620, 9 AD."

"For Zhu Youxiao's safety, the ministers placed Zhu Youxiao in the Crown Prince's womb, that is, the East Palace, and the eunuch Wang An is responsible for protecting Zhu Youxiao's safety."

"At this time, Li Xuan saw that his plan to coerce Zhu Youxiao and canonize himself as the empress dowager failed, so he proposed that all memorials submitted by ministers should be given to her for review first, and then to Zhu Youxiao."

"However, this move was once again strongly opposed by the ministers. When the emperor is in power, why is there any reason to send the document to you first?"

"Of course the ministers didn't buy it, and they also asked Li Xuan's attendant to move out of Qianqing Palace and move to Xiaoluan Palace, but at this time Li Xuan's attendant also disagreed, saying that if you don't let me do what you want, I won't let you do what you want."

"Then Li Xuanshi said again that he requested to be canonized as the empress dowager first, and then Zhu Youxiao could ascend the throne."

"Look, Zhu Youxiao is the emperor. How can you, a small servant, be ranked in front of the emperor? Therefore, the courtiers naturally refused to agree, and the conflicts between them gradually intensified."

"Seeing that the day when Zhu Youxiao will ascend the throne in Qianqing Palace is getting closer, on the fifth day of September, Li Xuanshi has no intention of moving out of Qianqing Palace, and even has the intention of postponing his move."

"No way, the courtiers had no choice but to come outside the palace gate of Qianqing Palace together, urging Li Xuanshi to leave Qianqing Palace as soon as possible."

"At this time, the eunuch Wang An also came to help. Wang An followed Zhu Youxiao's order to lead people into the Qianqing Palace. Without saying a word, he directly smashed the jar and scolded Li Xuanshi to leave quickly."

"So in desperation, Li Xuanshi had no choice but to leave Qianqing Palace in a hasty embrace of the eighth princess he gave birth to, and moved to the Luan Palace in Renshou Palace."

"On the sixth day of September, Zhu Youxiao came to Fengtianmen, that is, the throne of the emperor, and changed his year name to Tianqi. With 1621 as the first year of Tianqi, he was known as Emperor Tianqi in history."

"So far, Li Xuanshi's plan to become the empress dowager before Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne has completely failed, and his attempt to control the government has finally come to nothing."

"Although Li Xuanshi has left from Qianqing Palace, the factional struggle is not over. It is said that not long after Li Xuanshi moved to Xiaoluan Palace, hey, the Xiaoluan Palace caught fire."

"After the hard work of the palace people, Li Xuan's mother and daughter were rescued."

"However, at this moment, someone took the opportunity to attack Zhu Youxiao, saying that Li Xuanshi was going to hang himself and his daughter was going to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well."

"And I also said that no one pitied the Eighth Princess who committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, but those who are still alive do not know how to fulfill their filial piety. The implication is that Zhu Youxiao was accused of violating the principle of filial piety and brotherhood."

"Subsequently, with the support of Yang Lian and others, Zhu Youxiao decreed to refute these rumors, saying that I ordered to stop the title of servant selection, so as to comfort the mother's spirit in heaven."

"At the same time, I will take good care of Li Xuanshi and Huang Bamei to abide by the royal ancestral system. All ministers can rest assured. I hope you can appreciate my concern for them."

"At this point, the turmoil of the palace transfer case is temporarily over. Why do we say it is temporary? This palace transfer case has a follow-up, but let's not talk about it."

"Actually, there are not many doubts about the case of moving the palace. The only thing that can be remembered is that what the case of moving the palace embodies is the overt and covert fighting between various parties within the imperial court."

"You can also understand that the palace transfer case is synonymous with the disputes among the various factions within the imperial court."

"Okay, I've finished talking about the case of moving the palace and the story of Zhu Yijun and Zhu Changluo, now we can get to the point and talk about the Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youxiao mentioned at the beginning."

"Zhu Youxiao, you should know him better, Zhu Youxiao is a master carpenter, so let's not talk about him, but a few interesting things that happened during his reign."

"Let's talk about the first one, the Battle of Hunhe River. Have you heard of this battle?"

Jiang Xiaoli shook his head, saying he hadn't heard of it.

But Teacher Miao immediately shook his head and said, "I didn't know about this battle before. If the old man hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't even know that there is such an interesting thing in history."

"Old rules, first come to understand the background at that time."

"The Battle of Hunhe occurred shortly after Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, a serious internal military intensification incident in Liaodong."

"To be more specific, the battle of Hunhe was not at all fought by the Ming army against the enemy, but by their own people against their own people, and the losses were very serious."

"The main participants in the Battle of Hunhe River were the Southern Army, the Baigan Army, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry."

"The southern army refers to the central regular army of the imperial court, including the Zhejiang soldiers of the Qi family army. In Liaodong, the central army is also dominated by the Qi family army, that is, the Zhejiang soldiers."

"You can understand that the Southern Army stationed in Liaodong at that time was actually the Zhejiang Army, so I will refer to the Southern Army as the Zhejiang Army later, which you should easily understand."

"At that time, the tactics used by the Zhe soldiers were not mandarin duck formations, but the chariot and chariot battalion formations created by Qi Jiguang when he was the commander-in-chief of Jizhen at that time, that is, using chariots, firearms and other firearms with rattan armor long swords. Waiting for weapons to fight."

"It sounds complicated, but it's actually very simple. Let the musketeers stand on the chariot and shoot, while the infantry follow the chariot with rattan armor and long knives, and advance in a circular manner."

"This is the Zhejiang army's tactics, while Nurhachi's side used the large open-pit mineral resources in the Northeast to build a large number of thick armors, which were worn by the soldiers in the front row during the battle."

"Hey, so Nurhachi regards this kind of soldiers as dead soldiers, and the Manchus are very good at riding and archery. If they are equipped with dead soldiers, they are not only flexible in fighting, but also full of combat effectiveness."

"Therefore, after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court did not prohibit southerners from possessing firecrackers. This is because the dead soldiers of the Manchurians were specially used to restrain firecrackers."

"You may have understood it when you heard this. That's right, the dead soldiers created by Nurhachi were born to restrain the firecrackers of Zhejiang soldiers."

"So in Liaodong, you can often see Jurchens destroying the Ming Army's firearms positions, because they are not afraid of the Ming Army's firearms at all."
