Li Zicheng failed, how did the Qing army deal with Empress Gao? The ending is amazing.
Li Zicheng, a brave man from a peasant, saw the people struggling on the verge of life and death at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and his heart was full of anger. The imperial court expropriated violently, colluded with the rich man, and made the people's lives unsustainable.
Therefore, he resolutely raised the banner and made an oath of "opening a warehouse to help the people, and free grain in the field", which won the deep trust of the people. His appeal is unmatched, and his army is invincible and invincible.
However, in the end, he failed. So, what is the reason for the failure of this leader who is so loved by the people? What was his fate after the defeat?
And what kind of fate will Queen Gao, the wife who fought side by side with him and was hailed as a match made in heaven? Where does her future hold?
The fact that Li Zicheng only survived for 42 days after establishing the Dashun Dynasty is regrettable. However, we cannot ignore the role of Li Zicheng's subordinates in the success or failure of the uprising.
After he moved into the Forbidden City, the actions of General Liu Zongmin and Prime Minister Niu Jinxing exposed their true nature, and they no longer stuck to their original intentions and indulged in pleasure. Every day, they live a life of singing and dancing, drinking and having fun, no longer caring about the front-line war and the safety of the people, but indulging in concubines and tasting food.
Liu Zongmin even coveted Wu Sangui's beauty and took her for himself. These actions undoubtedly brought huge losses to Li Zicheng, and they were also an important reason for his ultimate failure.
Wu Sangui's anger changed his direction, and he decided to cooperate with the Qing army against the peasant rebel army led by Li Zicheng. In this process, Liu Zongmin did not report the news of the Qing army's entry into the customs to Li Zicheng until Wu Sangui attacked Shanhaiguan.
Li Zicheng had just ascended to the throne at this time, and his self-confidence was inflated, and he was unprepared for a sudden and powerful opponent. In the end, he died in the battle of Jiugong Mountain. Faced with her husband's failure, Li Zicheng's wife, Gao Guiying, faced a difficult choice ......
Gao Guiying, a woman who is both civil and military, has a deep love for the Ming Dynasty. She was unwilling to bow to the Qing Dynasty, let alone obey its arrangement, and she knew that acceptance was more painful than death.
Therefore, she decided to inherit her husband's legacy, restore the Ming Dynasty, and continue to embark on the path of rebellion. She was thoughtful, thinking about the direction of the future......At that time, although the Southern Ming Dynasty was corrupt and incompetent as a whole, Emperor Longwu was a wise and wise monarch with extraordinary majesty.
Gao Guiying believes that since this place cannot keep her, then she should defect to Emperor Longwu and help him realize his ideal of recovering the lost land. So, she reinvigorated, gathered the old troops, boosted the morale of the soldiers, successfully broke through the siege, and went south to join Emperor Longwu.
Emperor Longwu was commanded by Gao Guiying, who was both wise and brave, and undoubtedly injected a powerful force into the war against the Qing Dynasty. Knowing that Li Zicheng's wife led the old ministry to join him, Emperor Longwu was overjoyed and entrusted Gao Guiying with a heavy responsibility.
Gao Guiying lived up to expectations, relying on his military talents, and successfully used Maolu Mountain as a base and launched a fierce contest with the Qing army. Although both sides did not admit defeat, Gao Guiying's command ability greatly reduced the morale of the Qing army, and the morale of his own army was high, and finally won the victory.
Emperor Longwu attached great importance to Gao Guiying's loyalty camp and named her the Lady of Yipin. However, Nanming's fate could not escape the doom of decline after all. The soldiers on the front line are fighting desperately, but the court in the rear is full of intrigue and corruption.
Coupled with the erosion of the Qing Dynasty, Gao Guiying's troops became alone. Despite her outstanding talents, she could not change Nanming's decline. Soon, the Qing army launched a full-scale assault on the Loyal Battalion.
Gao Guiying foresaw the difficulties, but she still stood firm in the battle, she boosted the morale of the soldiers, was invincible, set an example for the soldiers, and also found comfort for herself. However, the end result cannot be reversed.
Seeing the soldiers fall one by one, and their ambitions were unpaid, Gao Guiying was disheartened. But she firmly believes: "I was born in the Ming Dynasty and died as a ghost in the Ming Dynasty." Although my husband Li Zicheng failed, how could I surrender to the Qing army?
What will they do to me? I must not fall into the hands of the Qing army. "At the last minute, she made a resolute and decisive decision-*
The fire could not extinguish her determination, and even in the face of death, she would never surrender to the Qing army. She and General Li Laiheng of the old army gathered the remaining soldiers, lit torches on the mountain, and threw them at the dry branches of the outer trees.
The raging fire instantly engulfed the entire mountain, and Gao Guiying also died in the fire. Why did this loyal and courageous heroine choose Li Zicheng as her destination? What kind of person is Li Zicheng?
Why are they called a match made in heaven? What is unique about their love story?
Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying: Life Pressure and Helpless Struggles Li Zicheng, a pure man from a peasant family, was a national civil servant and lived a comfortable life.
However, the country's layoff policy cost him his job, and he reluctantly became a post man, keeping his horses company every day. Although he did not like such a life, his negligence led to the death of a horse and led him into the trap of Ai Changjin, a wealthy county man.
In just a few months, he went from ten taels of silver to twenty taels, thirty taels, forty taels, and finally even one hundred taels. Under such circumstances, Gao Guiying, who is Li Zicheng's wife, is also facing the same pressure and helplessness.
Their lives are full of hardships, but they persevere and hope to get through it. The core idea of the new copywriting: Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying stick to their beliefs and work hard in the pressure and helpless struggle of life.
Li Zicheng has experienced a lot of blows in life, he is in debt, his wife and children are humiliated, and he can no longer endure such a life. He decided to defect to Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the peasant rebel army, hoping to change his fate.
On the way to defect, he met Gao Yingxiang's younger brother Gao Yigong, and through him, he met Gao Yingxiang's wife Gao Guiying. Gao Guiying is also a person who has experienced hardships, her parents married her to her youngest son Chongxi due to poverty, and her husband died soon after, she has been widowed for many years, no one has shown her martial arts, and no one understands her ambitions.
However, the appearance of Li Zicheng made Gao Guiying see hope for life. They encouraged each other, struggled together, and got through many difficult moments together. Li Zicheng's persistence and courage made Gao Guiying deeply attracted to him, and the two finally came together.
Their stories tell us that even if life is full of difficulties and setbacks, as long as you have the courage to face them and have the determination to change, you will definitely be able to find your own happiness.
After Gao Guiying's parents passed away, she and her younger brother depended on each other, both as an elder sister and as a mother. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, a time of injustice and famine, they struggled to survive, and although life was difficult, life was relatively peaceful.
However, no one can talk about the loneliness in Gao Guiying's heart, let alone understand it. At this moment, she meets Li Zicheng, who is also frustrated and has no one to talk to, and they share the same illness, with endless topics and deep understanding.
In Li Zicheng's confession, Gao Guiying understood his ideals, felt sympathy for his suffering, and even wailed out for his grievances. She supported Li Zicheng's uprising and supported him to defect to Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the rebel army at that time.
Gao Guiying was attracted by Li Zicheng's masculine charm and gradually developed feelings for him, wanting to join him in Gao Yingxiang's rebel army and rebel against the corrupt and incompetent imperial court.
Before defecting to Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng was still at ease about the things at home and decided to go back to have a look. Ai Hu'er, who once insulted Li Zicheng's wife, learned that Li Zicheng was going to revolt, and arranged for the officials to ambush near Li Zicheng's house in advance, and he himself entered the door of Li Zicheng's wife Han Jin'er.
At this time, Han Jin'er lost her husband, and her opinion of Ai Hu'er also changed. She naively thought that she could rely on Ai Hu'er, so she didn't resist when she saw him coming, thinking that he was here to seek her beauty.
Ai Hu'er entered Han Jin'er's house with urgent news and asked her to help arrest Li Zicheng. Although Han Jin'er struggled inwardly, she finally compromised under Ai Hu'er's coercion and temptation.
When Li Zicheng came to the door, Ai Hu'er immediately hid in the back room, and Han Jin'er deliberately pretended to be surprised and eagerly opened the door, although Li Zicheng had a kind of resentment towards her.
The two didn't say much and began to argue, and Li Zicheng announced that he was leaving.
As soon as Han Jin'er saw this, she immediately dragged Li Zicheng, and Ai Hu'er also rushed out of the house and successfully caught him. At this time, the official outside the door also heard the movement and rushed in, and everyone worked together to make Li Zicheng.
In order to force Li Zicheng to compromise, Ai Hu'er instigated the county magistrate Yan Zibin to impose a heavy penalty on him, so Li Zicheng was tied in front of the stone archway, ready to let the scorching sun burn him to death. Li Zicheng, who was seriously injured in the sun, soon fainted from dehydration because there was no water supply.
Gao Guiying, who learned of this, immediately came to the stone archway, and when she saw the scene of Li Zicheng's death, she was extremely sad. So she discussed with her younger brother Gao Yigong and Li Zicheng's younger brother Li Guo about the plan to rescue Li Zicheng.
Under the cover of darkness, the three of them skillfully rescued Li Zicheng while the officials were asleep. Gao Guiying took him home to recuperate, and her careful care allowed Li Zicheng to gradually recover his health.
During the recuperation period, Li Gao and the two slowly felt each other's care, and they were also honest with each other and shared their feelings with each other. Therefore, in that famine era, Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying came together and embarked on the road of rebellion against the corrupt imperial court.
The combination of Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying can be described as a match made in heaven. After Li Zicheng defected to Gao Yingxiang, he quickly gained Gao Yingxiang's trust and reuse by virtue of his heroism and ingenuity.
Unfortunately, however, Gao Yingxiang died in battle shortly after. Despite this, Li Zicheng won the deep trust of the rebel army with his outstanding leadership and heroic deeds, took over the banner of "Chuang", and continued to lead the peasant rebel army to resist the injustice of the late Ming court.
However, the Ming court had already begun to feel the threat of the rebels and sent a large number of troops to besiege them. In this battle, Li Zicheng's army was at a disadvantage and suffered a serious blow.
Watching his brothers die or be injured one by one, Li Zicheng himself was seriously injured and felt extremely frustrated.
He already felt that the current situation had not changed, that he could not apologize to the deceased Heroic Soul, that he had a clear conscience and could not continue to live in this world. Therefore, Li Zicheng decided to pay tribute to Xuanyuan by killing himself.
It is impossible for Gao Guiying to watch Li Zicheng commit suicide before the great cause is completed. So, she persuaded Li Zicheng with earnest words. She recalled the eight years they fought together, each time they were spent in the shadow of swords and swords, and every time there were casualties, but my comrades and I did not lose confidence in you because of **, on the contrary, we still believe in your talent and believe that you will bring us a good life.
Other soldiers also chimed in.
Gao Guiying continued: "I respect you because you are a true hero, your ambition and foresight make me believe that you have the ability to compete for the world, and I know that you can fulfill your promise to open a warehouse and free grain.
Although this defeat is not meant forever, no one can guarantee victory in every war. If you are devastated because of this defeat, you only think about the comfort of the Heroic Spirit, but have you ever thought about what we would do without you, and who should we avenge our dead brother's revenge? ”
You know that you have won the hearts of the people, and if you commit suicide now, who will you turn to to help the suffering people? "The union of the two of us is a match made in heaven, you respect me, and I support you. ”
Today, you and I are fighting side by side, and the banner of the king is raised by you and me. Life and death together, beat the drum and supervise the battle, eradicate the injustice in the world, and create brilliant achievements together. "All the soldiers responded in unison:"Mrs. Gao is right! "
Hearing his wife's words, Li Zicheng had an epiphany, reinvigorated his morale, and led the soldiers to break through the siege. Since then, Li Zicheng's confidence has doubled, he has become more courageous, and he is more determined to eradicate ** and protect the people.
This determination supported him in establishing the Dashun Dynasty. Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying's relationship is also deeper, they are really a natural pair.
Gao Guiying, a strange woman in the world, with her legendary life, proved to the world that "who says that women are inferior to men". Whether it is the composure in the moment of life and death, or the thoughtfulness when faced with a choice, she has shown endless wisdom and courage.
As a wife, she is loyal to love, and as a woman, her righteousness in the face of difficulties is admirable. She did not choose to be attached to others, but became Li Zicheng's spiritual pillar.
Even after Li Zicheng's defeat, she still preferred to die and was unyielding, which made her a strange woman praised by later generations. Gao Guiying's story is not only impressive, but also worth pondering.
