Ming Dynasty: Where did Zou Yinglong of Ming Dynasty come from?

Zou Yinglong (date of birth and death unknown) was named Yun Qing, a minister in Ming Dynasty. Chang 'an (now Xiwuqiao Village, Chang 'an District, Xi City, Shaanxi Province). Jiajing thirty-five years (1556), Jinshi. He began to teach pedestrians, and later he was promoted to the Ministry of War's suggestion and assistant minister. Zou's integrity and incorruptibility are well known to the whole world, because he participated in the rebellion of Yan Song's father and son and their henchmen.

Zhu Houzong, a traitor of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, reused Yan Song. In the twenty-first year of Jiajing (1542), he promoted Yan Song, a senior official of Nanjing, to a university degree in Wuyingdian, and went straight to Wenyuan Pavilion as the cabinet record. Strict control of state affairs, father and son Yan Shifan, minions Zhao Wenhua and other cronyism, killing famous officials and good generals. They plundered and bribed the people, so that the soldiers were in chaos and the treasury was empty, which led to the Japanese invaders harassing the southeast coast, invading at home and abroad, and the people were in dire straits, making the Ming Dynasty in danger. Some officials who are concerned about the country and the people have repeatedly impeached Yan Song and his son. However, due to Sejong's fatuity, those who impeached Yan Song were often beaten, imprisoned, exiled and even killed. So the officials warned each other and kept their mouths shut. Regardless of personal safety, Zou Yinglong dared to unite with Yan Song and his son to eradicate corrupt officials for the court and endanger the people.

In the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty realized the misdeeds of Yan Party. At that time, Yan Song was old and frail, and his son Yan Shifan was mainly in charge of state affairs. Sejong gradually alienated Yan and his son and became close to Xu Jie, a great scholar, because of his arrogance and extravagance. Zou Yinglong thought the time had come, so he went to the office to help him get involved. He said to the general effect: "Yan Shifan, assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, took advantage of the greed of clan forces to sell officials and titles and paid bribes to the official department: the head of the Ministry of Punishment transferred to the official department with10.3 million gold, and Pan Hongye learned that state and county officials paid tens of millions of bribes with 2000 yuan. Usually, my son Jin Yi is in strict control. In case of Yan Song's birthday, Yan Nian often pays millions of dollars for it.

Yan Song and his son were originally from Yuanzhou (now Yichun County, Jiangxi Province), but in Nanjing, Yangzhou and other places, there are dozens of beautiful houses on fertile land, and in the severe winter, the people's resentment is boiling.

When Fan Shi lost his mother, Sejong took Yan Song as his senior, so he stayed to take care of him and asked Yan Kun to help him go south. Fan Shi gathered guests, hugged Yanji, sang and danced, and destroyed human relations. Hu Yan, on the other hand, regarded her grandmother's funeral as a strange commodity and went to the post office to extort money in every way.

Now there are floods and droughts in various places, strong earthquakes in Ningxia and foreign invasion. Officials at home and abroad put people's fat and people's cream into strict private pockets. How can people not be poor? If I say something untrue, I will be killed. Yan Song dotes on evil children and should be released to the field as soon as possible to clear politics.

Emperor Sejong of the Ming Dynasty was disgusted when he learned that Yan Shifan lived in mourning. At that time, just as the alchemist Lan Daoxing was taken by the emperor to help her. Sejong asked Landaoxing, "Is the assistant minister wise today?" Landaoxing pretended to be a fairy with Fuxi and said, "Yan Song and his son played politics, so that the world died." Sejong alienated Yan Song and trusted Xu Jie, a great scholar. When he received a letter from Zou Yinglong, he ordered Yan Song to be an official, and Yan Shifan was stationed in Leizhou (Guangdong).

However, Yan Shifan did not arrive at the garrison and fled back to Jiangxi. In the forty-fourth year of Jiajing (1565), in March, Lin Run, the suggestion of Nanjing, took charge of Jiang Fang. He found out that Yan Shifan and Luo Longwen were slandering about state affairs day and night, hiding giant thieves in Jiangyang and recruiting 4,000 warriors, namely Tatar, the enemy of Nantong and the enemy of the north, with irregular designs. After Lin Run was exiled, Sejong was furious and arrested Yan Shifan and Luo Longwen. And copied Yan Shifan's property, got 32,000 yuan of gold and 3 million yuan of silver, and other precious jewelry was worth millions, and at the same time ousted Yan Song and his son. In August of the same year, Yan Song's property was confiscated. Two years later, Yan Song died of old age in the tomb.

After defeating Yan Song and his son, Zou Yinglong was promoted to counselor of the General Political Department. In the first year (1567), Zou was appointed as the vice capital of the imperial history, in charge of Yantun in Jiangxi and Jiangnan, and later promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry. Qian Gong, who was guarding Yunnan, was cruel to the people. The imperial court discussed and recommended a highly respected person to be the town governor, so Zou Yinglong was promoted to assistant minister of the Ministry of War and right secretariat of Yunnan. After Zou took office, Mu Chaobi's indictment was published, and Mu was arrested and charged.

1572, Zongshen Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, and the year number was changed to Wanli the following year. He was only ten years old, and the power fell into the hands of Li Si eunuch Feng Bao, who was in charge of the East Factory. Offended, and at the same time was slandered by the suggestion Guo and Pei who sent things. He was banished to his hometown and died at home.

In the 16th year of Wanli (1588), Shaanxi patrolled Wang Xuan to the imperial court, thinking that Zou Yinglong was honest and clean, leaving only a few acres of land and a few houses after his death, and no pension. The ruling and opposition parties complained bitterly about this, restored Zou's official position and gave him a sacrifice.
