Now, let's go back and see why Zuo Menggeng, the son of Zuo Liangyu, surrendered to the Manchu Qing so easily without warning. Many readers who do not understand history take the meaning out of context, and very one-sidedly think that Zuo Menggeng is a traitor with no ambition in the soft-footed shrimp, so the following historical record truly restores this incident.
When Zuo Liangyu was gaining power, the disciples under his curtain once said sarcastically: "Inheriting the grand cause of the lord, you can also be crowned a prince in the future, and the prince will certainly have no problem!" When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he immediately turned his face and said angrily, "My son is not a man, after I die, he can have ten cows to raise, two acres of land to plant, and be lucky to beg for life, I will be satisfied." As far as he was concerned, I looked at it, and if I let him become a general, it would definitely corrupt my Left Clan. ”
That being said, in real life, Zuo Liangyu still loves and carefully arranges his son. If nothing else, just look at Zuo Menggeng's marriage.
Zuo Menggeng's wife is Wang Shizhong's daughter. Who is Wang Shizhong? Wang Shizhong was originally a species of Haixi Jurchen. The Jurchens of Haixi ( Haixi ) , the Four Parts of the Jurchen Dynasty , were collectively named by the Ming Dynasty for the Jurchens who lived in the Great Bend of the Songhua River and in the Ashe River Valley east of present-day Harbin. Because the Great Bend of the Songhua River was called Haixi in the Yuan Dynasty, the Jurchens here were named Haixi Jurchens. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the various departments moved south, forming the four parts of Ula, Hada, Huifa and Yehe. There has been relatively rapid socio-economic development. Engaged in agriculture, supplemented by animal husbandry and hunting. There are professional blacksmiths who can process imported iron tools into weapons or production tools.
Wang Shizhong's ancestors' tribes were divided into Southern Chaoguan. Southern Chaoguan was annexed by the later Manchu Qing. At that time, Wang Shizhong was about eight or nine years old, and was carried by his family and entered the interior through the border plug. Unknown to what reason, Emperor Mingshenzong Wanli Zhu Yijun (reigned from 1572 to 1620 AD) sympathized with Wang Shizhong and raised him in Daming's palace. Being promoted by the emperor like this, Wang Shizhong's career path was naturally very smooth, and when he grew up, his official rank soon accumulated to the chief military officer of Fuyi.
Emperor Mingsizong (Zhu Youjian) Chongzhen Dynasty, because of greed for ink, Wang Shizhong was deposed and deposed. Wang Shizhong was tall, seven feet long, with beautiful eyebrows and beard, and poor vision in one eye. He often stayed in Songjiang and lived in mr. Jiang Shenchao's house.
Later, he moved to live in the Ezhou area, and after the rebellion of the peasants at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he went to zuo Liangyu. Of course, Zuo Liangyu was very clear about Wang Shizhong's track record, not only knowing that Wang Shizhong had always been a nobleman, but also knowing that he had the ability to directly reach the current emperor. Therefore, in order to throw the rat taboo, let yourself have a good home in the future.
