It can also be seen from this that the Qing history slandered Li Zicheng's corrupt life after entering Beijing, which led to the failure, which is really a bit mean.

In fact, the real reason for Li Zicheng's defeat was that he was defeated by the combined forces of Wu Sangui and Dolgon in front of the pass.

And this defeat comes first, leaving Shuntianfu behind, this is cause and effect.

At least, Li Zicheng became the emperor, and he was surrounded by the empress Gao Guiying and the palace maid Dou Meiyi.

Compared with the hundreds of concubines selected by Zhu Yousong, the emperor of the Hongguang Dynasty, I am afraid it is really a big witch, right?

Therefore, it is a fact that the Dashun army entered Beijing and robbed, but the target was not the people, but those high-ranking officials and nobles.

Gao Guiying is indeed the queen.

After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he was canonized as the queen.

As for Mrs. Zhenyi Yipin, it was sealed by the Longwu Dynasty, and the Longwu Dynasty controlled Hunan at that time, in order to unite the righteous army to resist the Qing Dynasty and attack Hubei, Gao Guiying was canonized as Mrs. Zhenyi Yipin, and the remnants of the Dashun Army left in Hunan were reorganized into the "Loyal Battalion".

Gao Guiying finally kept part of the family business for Li Zicheng after Li Zicheng's death, which can be regarded as a great kindness.

However, in the subsequent battle to attack Hubei, it failed miserably because of the distrust and non-cooperation of He Tengjiao, the then governor of Huguang in the Longwu Dynasty, and more than 300,000 people were lost by more than half, and they survived around Wuchang Mansion.

In this battle, the Longwu Dynasty supervised the army to block Yinxi's horse and fold his arm, and fled to Changde.

Tian Jianxiu, the former Dashun Cihou Tian Jianxiu, Yihou Zhang Nai, Wuyang Bo Li You, and Taiping Bo Wu Ruyi led the remnants of more than 5,000 people to surrender to the Qing army at Yilingkou, and were subsequently killed.

Li Zicheng's brother Li Zi and his subordinates were captured and killed by Dolgon's order.

Since then, the Loyal Battalion has been sluggish, and its number has plummeted to more than 100,000.

The so-called loyalty cannot be blasphemed, and once betrayed, it is difficult to gain the trust of others.

After the death of Li Zicheng, the remnants of the Dashun Army chose to join the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty under the national righteousness, although they were supported by Emperor Longwu and some enlightened ministers, but more ministers did not trust the peasant army, and the reorganized loyalty battalion could not be trusted and supported.

At this time, Gao Guiying was gathering a group of loyal battalion generals to discuss countermeasures.

Of course, it was not just an invitation from the king of Huiji County and the general Wu Zheng of the Yixing Dynasty in the east to discuss it.

On the contrary, the biggest problem they discussed came from the financial embarrassment and the rebellion of the people in Huguang.

From the day of the uprising, the Dashun Army did not have a good plan, so there was no need to talk about establishing base areas and managing internal affairs.

There is only one strategy they have adopted, to feed the war with war, and "the king will not pay for food when he comes".

What did King Chuang's army eat?

Grab it!

Although the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was empty, and even the military salary could not be paid, there were too many rich people in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and their families were thick, and there was so much silver that they could only choose to bury them in the ground.

So, robbed all the way, blackmailed all the way, blackmailed until the hearts of the people were lost, and then intensified in the capital, so they were defeated and died!

Li Zicheng is a generous person, and this evaluation is by no means exaggerated.

But after all, he was unable to integrate the local people's armies, recruit sages, and formulate a proper internal strategy.

When the people's army sings all the way and is invincible, it is good to say, but once it fights a big defeat, it will be like an avalanche, falling for thousands of miles.

A headache for the doctor, a pain for the feet, how can there be a reason for immortality?

The Loyalty Battalion has reached its most difficult time.

The battle to attack Hubei was a disastrous defeat, and the strength of the army was sharply reduced, and the number of troops of 300,000 to 400,000 was now less than 120,000.

The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

Coupled with the rebellion from the people of Huguang one after another, Gao Guiying and others are already anxious.

Kill?

It's already unkillable.

This is not the time when Li Zicheng is alive and "King Chuang comes and doesn't pay for food".

At that time, the soldiers were strong and fierce, and killing one person could deter ten thousand.

Now, killing one person will cause a riot of 100 or 1,000 people.

Besides, if we continue to kill, Huguang, which is already short of population and has a sharp decline in labor, may really become a barren land, who will produce and supply the army with food?

In the past four years, more than 100,000 people in the loyal battalion have been like a swarm of locusts, gnawing away the supplies of the people of Huguang.

What's next?

Thus, there was this meeting that was destined to be fruitless.

Who knows what to do with these five big and three rough men?

The big eyes stared at the small eyes, the small eyes stared at the teary eyes, and the eggplants that were like frost wilted.

Gao Guiying snorted arrogantly, "Give the old lady her head up." ”

This posture and style are very similar to the heroines in the later drama "Red Lantern", a proper female company commander.

It's a pity that Gao Guiying was born reckless after all, missing Ma Xiuying's gentleness and calmness, Ma Xiuying is from a wealthy family, and she is the adopted daughter of Guo Zixing, the king of Chuyang, she is literate and far-sighted, and Gao Guiying's female militia company commander's style, even if she wears a phoenix crown and a mother in the world, she is just a monkey and a crown.

It is said that behind a successful man, there must be a great woman.

Li Shimin has an eldest grandson, and Zhu Yuanzhang has a Ma Xiuying.

It's a pity that Li Zicheng first had two green him, and then one didn't give birth to a boy and half a girl for him in his second marriage.

If you don't even have an heir, how can you build a country?

In this era, people talk about inheritance, the emperor has no queen, how to inherit?

Can Li Zichengyan be undefeated?

Gao Guiying's "arrogance" made the seven-foot men a little more energetic.

Li said: "Do you want to go west to Yongli?" ”

Gao Yigong shook his head and said: "No, Hao Shaoqi, Li Laixiang, and Wang Guangxing have gone west three years ago, and now they are part of the Yongli Dynasty, but they are also discriminated against by the Yongli Dynasty." At this time, I will wait for the west, not to mention whether they will accept it or not, even if they do, I am afraid that they will be sent under the fence and will be looked down upon by others. ”

Li Guo was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, he will be liquidated!" ”

Gao Yigong said angrily: "After four years of fighting, the two sides have become mortal enemies. At this time, people will kill me as fish and meat, won't they kill themselves? Besides, the first emperor will never surrender, as the heir of the first emperor, dare to surrender? ”

Li Guo was depressed, glared at Gao Yigong and said angrily: "This can't be done, that's not possible...... How, you say? ”

Gao Yigong glanced at his sister Gao Guiying, and then said, "Maybe you can ask Yixing Chao for help." ”

Li Guo frowned and said: "Yixing Dynasty? However, the land of thirteen mansions, with an army of 100,000, may not be better than us. Besides, this time Wu Zheng led his army to the west, maybe he wanted to start a war with us, ask them for help, and undoubtedly seek skin with the tiger! ”
