In June of the second year of Chongzhen (A.D. 1629), Yuan Chonghuan, who had been carefully considered as the secretary of the Ming military department and the governor of Jiliao, carried the sword of Shangfang given by the emperor, and only led a few followers to land on Phi Island in the name of labor. Mao Wenlong, the governor of Ming Zuo and the general soldier of Pingliao, led his sons Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others to the dock to welcome the supervisor to come and guide.
What Mao Wenlong never expected was that when he relaxed his vigilance, Inspector Yuan suddenly turned his face, and after counting his twelve major sins, he took his life with Shang Fang's sword in front of the army without asking for an order.
Mao Wenlong has been operating Phi Dao for many years. In May of the first year of the Apocalypse (1621 AD), Mao Wenlong was sent by Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong stationed in Guangning City (now Beizhen, Liaoning), to lead troops into Mao Island with the rank of training guerrillas. After Mao Wenlong's painstaking management, the Ming Dynasty took Mao Island as the center and set up a defense line of outer islands for more than 1,000 miles along Sanshan Island, Guanglu Island, Changshan Island, Shicheng Island, Komatsu Island, and Deer Island. The setting of this line of defense seriously interfered with the rear of the Houjin regime, Mao Wenlong had repeatedly sent troops to harass the Houjin, and his troops had pointed directly at the Anshan Post Fort near Shenyang, because of Mao Wenlong's existence, the Houjin had some scruples every time they invaded the pass. All this is due to the contribution of Mao Wenlong and his subordinates. He himself also accumulated merit to the Pingliao General Army. Since then, the Jin regime has regarded Mao Wenlong's Phi Island as a thorn in the flesh, and is eager to pull out this thorn in a moment.
The existence of Mao Island gave Emperor Taiji a headache to the Great Khan of the Great Golden Khan, and this outstanding Manchu politician and military strategist began to plan how to pull out this thorn of flesh.
It happened that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, who took Wei Zhongxian at this time, reactivated Yuan Chongzhen, a member of the Donglin Party, and ordered him to specialize in Liao affairs as the governor of Jiliao. In the face of the emperor's trust, the bookish Yuan Chonghuan promised to level Liao in five years.
After exiting the customs, Yuan Chonghuan calmed down and realized that he had made a mistake, and in order to make up for his mistake, Yuan Chonghuan tried to ease their attack on the Ming Dynasty by negotiating peace with the Later Jin. It was Yuan Chonghuan's thinking that created a great opportunity for Huang Taiji to pull out the thorn of Mao Dao.
Mao Wenlong has been running Mao Island for so many years, he has become like the "son of heaven on the island", naturally it is inevitable that there will be reckless things such as taking merit and greedy for ink, and the large number of righteous sons he has raised are even more reckless, all of which is naturally not tolerated by Yuan Chonghuan, who promises to be honest.
And Huang Taiji took advantage of Yuan Chonghuan's point, and in his many seemingly sincere peace talks with Yuan, he repeatedly hinted that as long as Yuan Chonghuan could get rid of Mao Wenlong, all conditions between them would be easy to discuss.
The cunning politician easily played with the naïve and bookish Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan, who consciously did the right thing after thinking about it several times, beheaded Mao Wenlong in the name of the emperor in the name of Mao Wenlong after counting the so-called major crimes of Mao Wenlong.
As soon as Mao Wenlong died, the thousand-mile outer defense line set up by the Ming Dynasty along the Liaodong Peninsula collapsed, which was really a painful thing for relatives and enemies.
What's more serious is that several of Mao Wenlong's righteous sons, such as Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others, are all generals who have survived a hundred battles and have both civil and military skills. Yuan Chonghuan's good killing of Mao Wenlong directly pushed them to the opposite side of himself, and these people will be the vanguard of the Qing Dynasty in the future. It can be seen from this that Yuan Chonghuan's killing of "Island Shuai" is really worth the loss, and if it is more serious, he is an enemy!
