Chapter 450: Li Dingguo, the first great talent in the late Ming Dynasty
Genius memorizes the website of this site in 3 seconds [Pen Maze Pavilion.] Qin Shuhuai saw this scene and couldn't help laughing, "It's a bit backbone." β
Li Jingting on the side said, "It is said that this person's name is Li Dingguo, he is Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, and he is quite famous among the rogues, and he is nicknamed 'Ten Thousand Enemies'." β
"Li Dingguo?" Qin Shuhuai thought for a while, suddenly patted his thigh, and said, "I'm slot! Jingting, hurry up and bring him over to me!"
Li Jingting is all gone, Zhang Xianzhong is killed, why is Grandpa Guo so interested in one of Zhang Xianzhong's righteous sons all of a sudden?
But he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to call Li Dingguo over.
Qin Shuhuai rubbed his hands, very excited.
Others can kill, but he is reluctant to kill this Li Dingguo.
In Qin Shuhuai's view, among the great talents in the late Ming Dynasty, including Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong and others, Li Dingguo can still rank first.
A well-deserved number one.
Li Dingguo is Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, tall and big, extraordinary appearance, history records that he did things moderately, and was famous for treating people with generosity and kindness, but he took the lead in the battle, and was extremely brave, so he was called "Xiao Wei Chi" or "Ten Thousand Enemies".
In addition, this man is an extreme nationalist. After the Qing army entered the customs and Zhang Xianzhong died in battle, he strongly advocated that the Great Western Army go south to support the young master of the Ming Dynasty and resist the Qing army, and even did not hesitate to harm himself with a knife, forcing Sun Kewang, the leader of the Great Western Army at that time, to agree to go south to "jointly join the King of Qin and restore the Great Tomorrow." β
How awesome is Li Dingguo?
After going south, he first pacified the rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou, and then carefully operated in Yunnan for several years, in these years Yunnan almost every year of harvest, the people were rich, and the people of all ethnic groups were very harmonious, all ethnic minorities joined the army one after another, so that his army reached the scale of more than 100,000, and the grain and grass were sufficient.
This is the wrist of his internal affairs.
In the ninth year of Shunzhi, the Qing court ordered Kong Youde and Wu Sangui to lead the Qing army to attack the Great Western Army in two ways. Li Dingguo led a large army to meet the attack, not only defeated Kong Youde, but also took advantage of the situation to go north, conquered Guilin in one fell swoop, recovered the entire territory of Guangxi, and forced Kong Youde to fall into a desperate situation and commit suicide.
This guy didn't see how well the Qing army was, so he took the army north into Hunan, and even took Quanzhou, Yongzhou and other places, so that the Qing army didn't even know his father and mother, and three months later, the Qing army in Hunan actually ran clean!
In less than half a year, he recovered the entire territory of Guilin and Hunan, known as the "Hunan Guizhou Victory"!
And his performance has just begun.
In November of the same year, the Qing court sent Hong Chengchou to pass through Luohuguang, Yungui, and Liangguang, and sent Prince Jingjin Nikan to serve as the general of Dingyuan, leading a total of 150,000 elite soldiers from Sanbeile and four Gushan to attack Li Dingguo's department stationed in Changsha.
If the previous Qing army was dominated by the Han army, then at least half of the 150,000 elite soldiers this time were pure Eight Banner soldiers.
At that time, the Eight Banners had just entered the Central Plains, and their combat power could be imagined.
To add insult to injury, Sun Kewang, another big man of the Great Western Army at that time, was jealous of the increasingly famous Li Dingguo, and secretly ordered Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong, the generals of the other two armies who were supposed to cooperate with Li Dingguo on the left and right flanks, to retreat quietly, in an attempt to trap Li Dingguo to death.
But the result?
Li Dingguo not only defeated the Qing army, but also slashed Prince Nikan with his own sword!
After defeating the Qing army, he found out, hey, it turned out that the other two armies did not come?
150,000 elite Qing army is a fart! He originally wanted to play big!
Awesome!
No wonder Huang Zongxi praised: "The battles of Guilin and Hengyang of Li Dingguo, two famous kings, the world shook." This is the heyday of the Wuwu since the end of the world, and there is nothing in the world. β
Li Dingguo's victories against the Qing army did not stop there, and for a certain period of time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Qing army heard that he had changed color.
If you have to say how capable he is, it can only be said that even his subordinates beat the Qing army to the point of pride and underestimation of the enemy, such as Liu Wenxiu and others, it was because they were too light on the enemy that led to defeat.
How terrible is the army that doesn't pay attention to the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry?
And how good are the people who built this army?
At that time, Emperor Shunzhi, who had no political intentions, even had the intention of abandoning the southwestern provinces and sharing the world with the Southern Ming Dynasty to make peace.
It's a pity that at the critical moment, Nanming produced Sun Kewang, a person who was more insidious and more famous, than the Donglin Party, so that Li Dingguo's achievements fell short.
In Qin Shuhuai's view, if Sun Kewang and others can be a little bit patriotic, even if they play a conspiracy to smear Li Dingguo, or even deduct military salaries and block and sabotage Li Dingguo's counteroffensive plan, these are not enough to stop Li Dingguo's recovery.
However, this group of villains took their salaries, regardless of Li Dingguo's repeated forbearance, and directly led his subordinates to help the Qing army to fight Li Dingguo, and if Li Dingguo could not be defeated, he surrendered to the Qing army and presented the defense map of the southwest region, and would rather be a dog than cooperate with Li Dingguo's counterattack to restore the country, which led to the bankruptcy of Li Dingguo's final restoration plan.
However, Li Dingguo is awesome, although he can't return to the country, and he is chased and killed by the Qing army everywhere, but he can still bear it. He always had a large Western army that could not be broken or defeated, during which he fought Burma and Guangxi, and had the dream of recovering the country, and persisted until he died in the first year of Kangxi.
After his death, there were still a lot of the Great Western Army left!
He told his descendants and his subordinates that they would rather throw their bodies into the wilderness than surrender to the Qing army.
He followed Yue Fei's example, and he also engraved four words on his back.
Serve oneβs country with true allegiance.
Such a person, how can Qin Shuhuai not admire?
With such a talent, how could Qin Shuhuai not have the idea of surrendering?
It didn't take long for Li Jingting to bring people in.
Qin Shuhuai stepped down from the boulder, carefully looked at Li Dingguo, who was tied up by five flowers, and then said, "You are Li Dingguo?"
Li Dingguo asked rhetorically, "You are Qin Shuhuai?"
A soldier next to him immediately kicked him and scolded, "Don't you kneel when you see Grandpa Guo?"
Li Dingguo said angrily, "If you want to kill, you will kill, do you want me to kneel down to the enemy who killed my father? β
Qin Shuhuai nodded and said, "Have backbone! Well said, in the future, General Li will not have to kneel when he sees his father." β
A hint of discoloration flashed in Li Dingguo's eyes.
If there is still a "later", it means that he will not die. He naturally heard the meaning of Qin Shuhuai's words.
But he only sneered, because he really couldn't think of a reason why Qin Shuhuai wanted to let him go, he just thought that this demon had some bad idea.
Qin Shuhuai said unhurriedly, "General Li, you know better than me what your father killed your father for." Not to mention that the two armies are fighting and each is its own master, just say that your father has been killing indiscriminately over the years and owes a lot of blood debts, so my father has to kill him, are you right?"
Li Dingguo did not deny this, and he also persuaded Zhang Xianzhong, but to no avail. In history, after Zhang Xianzhong's death, Li Dingguo immediately killed Wang Zhaolin and others, who had long encouraged Zhang Xianzhong to kill people and establish his authority, which shows how much he hated this matter.
But he still sneered at each other, "Little Emperor Chongzhen levied violently and forced so many innocent people to death, why didn't you kill him?"
When Qin Shuhuai heard this, he didn't laugh angrily, and said, "Hehe, that's a good point, then I'll discuss this theory with you." β
