The news of the capture of Fengyang, Zhongdu, was so happy that the Ming Dynasty was excited and encouraged, but the battle of Fengyang also attracted a lot of criticism, especially Zhu Yigui ordered the use of cannons on the battlefield to open fire directly at the ants, which eventually led to the collapse of Fengyang, resulting in countless casualties and injuries to the people.

For this reason, the censors of the Censorate jointly wrote a letter to impeach Zhu Yigui for the position of clerk. Even other officials in the court were extremely dissatisfied with this, especially dozens of officials from all departments, who wrote letters to Zhu Yicheng, impeaching Zhu Yigui to treat the people as cruel and cruel, and demanded to summon Zhu Yigui back to Beijing, seize the post and imprison him, and deal with it severely.

These impeachment memorials were piled up like a hill. It can be said that Zhu Yigui's move was angered by the public. Several officials from Fengyang even ran outside the palace gate to kowtow and cry, begging Zhu Yi to become the people of Fengyang to make the decision.

In response, Zhu Yicheng left all the memorials of impeachment of Zhu Yigui, but at the same time he canceled the reward of Fengyang to Zhu Yigui. In addition, he also sent a reprimand to Fengyang, scolded Zhu Yigui fiercely in the imperial edict, and removed him from the position of general to deputy general. Then he made a muddle and forced the matter down.

Zhu Yicheng is not an emperor who knows nothing. As the lord of the revival, he also led troops to fight wars. Especially afterwards, Zhu Yigui immediately sent a confession. The memorial described the situation in detail and took the initiative to ask for it.

In Zhu Yicheng's view, Zhu Yigui's handling was not improper at that time. If Zhu Yigui did not do this at that time, not only would the Ming army camp be broken by the Qing army, but it would even bring unimaginable losses to the Ming army. If then, let alone taking down Fengyang City, the Ming army might be defeated and retreated to Huai'an, and the Qing army would take advantage of the situation to counterattack. Before Jiangbei was fully stable, the entire battle situation would change towards an unimaginable state.

Furthermore, if Zhu Yigui retreated in the face of the war and took the initiative to retreat, it would be a bad start. You should know that China has not yet fully recovered, and the Qing court still occupies a large area. If the Qing army could force the Ming army to retreat with such a tactic, then there would be no need to fight in the future. At that time, the people of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan were brought to the battlefield. What else would the Ming army fight when they were afraid of being attacked? It would be better to return the entire city to the Qing army with both hands.

But the truth depends on the truth, Zhu Yicheng must not say this. After all, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, all the people in China were the Ziming of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty made the people of the world stand up and no longer be slaves of the Qing Dynasty, but became a real Ming Dynasty person!

It is expressed in one word, that is just "politics". There is nothing wrong with the impeachment of officials in this matter, especially the censor who is already a clerk. In the face of such a shocking thing, if they do not impeach, they will be dereliction of duty.

So in the final analysis, this was almost a confusing account, and it ended in confusion. Speaking of which, it was a loss to Zhu Yigui and his men. It was obvious that he had been promoted with his contribution, but now that the matter has happened, not only has the result of the resignation of the title, but even the general who had just resumed was demoted to the deputy general again. In less than three months, it was a strange talk in the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

"Sir, what is the intention of impeaching Zhu Yigui this time? Do we still need to continue writing a letter?" In the mansion of Jiang Jin, the Minister of Works, several Beijing officials sat in a row, and the head of the head was naturally the master Jiang Jin.

"It seems that Zhu Yigui Shengyou is worried!" Another official sighed: "He almost broke the sky in Fengyang's battle, and the emperor forced him to protect him."

"How can Zhu Yigui compare with others? Brother Fan, don't forget that he is a royal family." Another official sneered from the side.

"It seems that impeachment again may be useless. What do you think of Lord Jiang?" One of the third-rank officials gave a moment of advice and turned their attention to Jiang Jin, who was in the top leader.

Jiang Jin sat upright, his expression did not change much, but just looked at everyone quietly. Some of the people sitting were their own confidants of the Ministry of Works, such as the right assistant minister who spoke at the end, and some were intermediate officials from other departments. There were also two officials who were not high, but were censors. This time, everyone impeached Zhu Yigui and caused a lot of controversy. Even the officials from Fengyang kowtowed and cried at the palace gate, which was also found by them. The purpose was to pull Zhu Yigui off and give the world a "explanation".

But unexpectedly, Zhu Yicheng forced this matter and had no other treatment except to cancel the reward and demote Zhu Yigui to deputy general and make meritorious contributions. This result disappointed everyone, and for this, these people took the initiative to find Jiang Jin to find an idea.

When Jiang Jin heard someone mentioning that Zhu Yigui was a royal family member, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Others didn't know, didn't he know? As an important official of the Ming Dynasty, especially the old man who has followed Zhu Yicheng since Ningbo, Jiang Jin naturally knew that Zhu Yigui's so-called royal family member was quoted.

In fact, Zhu Yicheng did not directly announce the identity of Zhu Yigui's clan, but because Zhu Yicheng did not deny the so-called identity of Zhu Yigui's clan, this gave many people a misunderstanding. To put it bluntly, Zhu Yicheng's main purpose was to love talents and cherish talents, and to consider it from a political perspective. After all, after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's clan had withered, and even Zhu Yicheng's branch was only left. In the case of the revival of the Ming Dynasty, in order to balance the strength of all aspects, especially to better control the army, it is beneficial to acquiesce to Zhu Yigui to lead troops under the reputation of the clan.

What's more, Zhu Yigui's royal family is not worthy of his reputation. Zhu Yicheng can deny his identity anytime and anywhere and use it as a charge. This is equivalent to holding Zhu Yigui's handle tightly, making Zhu Yigui a good weapon in Zhu Yicheng's hands. Moreover, judging from the situation over the years, this weapon is also very easy to use.

As an emperor, the art of power and strategy is naturally not something that others can guess, and only an old man like Jiang Jin can see it clearly. To put it bluntly, this is also the reason why Jiang Jin took the initiative to impeach Zhu Yigui this time. If Jiang Jin was for the purpose of seeking justice for the victims of Fengyang, I am afraid that Jiang Jin himself would not believe it.

Jiang Jin is not a nerd who is a silly student. Would he not know that military affairs are impermanent? In that case, let alone Zhu Yigui, if he leads the army, he would do the same. The reason why he only found someone to impeach him, because he knew that doing so would not only not cause Zhu Yicheng's anger, but on the contrary, he could also use this method to help Zhu Yicheng beat Zhu Yigui.

This is true of the facts. Zhu Yicheng finally pressed this matter and criticized Zhu Yigui. From this point of view, Jiang Jin's judgment was correct at all, and he achieved his goal.
