In the middle of the night, the generals of Dashun followed Gao Guiying's instructions and found a barren mountain and buried Li Zicheng quietly.

This troubled man has completed a vigorous life, and there are many people who praise him, and even more people hate him.

If the grave is exposed, I am afraid that it will not take a few days to be crushed and ashes, so the generals will not even dare to erect a tombstone.

Gao Guiying, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other generals wept bitterly, and then silently returned to the camp.

Tomorrow's road has to go on, and the Dashun Dynasty has completely ended from the moment Li Zicheng was buried!

In the wilderness, lonely graves, this is Li Zicheng's destination.

No matter how heroes you were in life, you dominate the world, and you still can't escape a piece of loess after death.

The only difference is that there are more dumb prime ministers Niu Venus to accompany the funeral.

According to the ideas of Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others, they originally wanted to bury Li Zicheng's concubine Dou Meiyi together, but fortunately, Gao Guiying interceded and was saved from death.

After receiving the news of Li Zicheng's death, Liu Zongmin, the general of Dashunquan and Ruhou, who was close to Tongcheng, did not come to mourn this old friend who once fought the world side by side. Instead, he sent envoys to recruit Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others, and demanded that he be proclaimed the lord of Dashun.

"Righteous, I'm phew!"

Li Guo was furious and cut off the head of the envoy with a sword, "If Niu Jinxing deserves to die, he Liu Zongmin should be cut with a thousand knives, and our reputation of Dashun is ruined by him!" ”

"Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine pulp, open the city gate to meet the king, and the king will not pay for food when he comes!"

Li Yan relied on this nursery rhyme to make the hungry and cold people eat pot pulp to the Dashun army, thinking that they had ushered in a great savior.

Who knew that the Dashun army that had entered the city of Beijing suddenly plundered, whether you were a high-ranking official or a poor person, don't want to escape.

Murder and arson, humiliation of women, after the Dashun army entered Beijing, did not do a few good things, and did a lot of bad things, so that the people of the capital hated it to the bone, and longed for the Qing army to enter the city as soon as possible to suppress bandits and quell the rebellion.

As Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said, "Water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat", the Dashun army that offended the people caused anger and resentment, and everywhere they went, they were like rats crossing the street, and they became the "bandit army" in the eyes of the people, and it was strange to be undefeated!

And Liu Zongmin was just the vanguard of plundering the people, and after entering the capital, he built 5,000 pairs of clamping sticks, tortured hundreds of officials and gentry, extorted money, and had a lot of lives on his hands.

Of course, in Lin Yu's opinion, these gentry who love money like their lives deserve it, and they are all toasters who don't eat and drink.

At the beginning, the treasury was empty, and Zhu Youzhen asked for money and said no, but he was beaten by Liu Zongmin and obediently handed it over, which can only be said to be self-inflicted, and the sky has eyes!

But after Liu Zongmin cleaned up the officials and squires, he turned around and bullied the common people, wantonly abducting women as camp prostitutes, which can be seen that this person is cruel and vicious by nature.

Moreover, Liu Zongmin was proud of his achievements, and he did not take Li Zicheng in his eyes, and when he went to court, others knelt down and stood with him.

Li Zicheng sent him to conquest Wu Sangui, but Liu Zongmin said, "They are also thieves, why do we go to work hard and you enjoy Qingfu at home?" ”

Li Zicheng had no choice but to go to Shanhaiguan in person, and finally was defeated by the Qing army and Wu Sangui in a stone, and fled back to Beijing in embarrassment, which opened the rout mode.

Therefore, although Lin Yu lacked major generals, although Liu Zongmin was brave and good at fighting, and although Liu Zongmin still had forty or fifty thousand horses under him, Lin Yu never wanted to win him over.

This person has the ability to be capable, but he is a white-eyed wolf, and he can't satisfy him with his current strength, and he can't subdue him!

Moreover, this person is short-sighted and selfish, ignoring Li Zicheng's dissuasion, snatching Wu Sangui's concubine Chen Yuanyuan home. caused Wu Sangui to "be angry and red-faced", opened the Shanhai Pass and let the Qing Tartars enter the customs, so that the lives were devastated.

Of course, judging from the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was only a matter of time before the Manchus entered the Central Plains, but Liu Zongmin's forced capture of Chen Yuanyuan was undoubtedly a catalyst that accelerated the entry of the Qing army.

killed Liu Zongmin's envoy, Gao Yigong, Hao Shaoqi, Liu Tichun and others were still angry, and even planned to send troops to attack Liu Zongmin.

"This thief is ruthless, unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial, so he stationed his troops in Tongcheng, fifty miles away, and did not come to the funeral when the king died, which is really hateful! It's better to raise soldiers and horses to kill Bentong City, and destroy the spirit of the king in the sky! ”

Lin Yu hurriedly stopped: "This governor knows that the generals hate Liu Zongmin, but the Qing army is pressing forward step by step, and the enemy is now, so it is not appropriate to kill each other again." You should bear this breath first, and wait until you have repelled the Qing army before settling accounts with Liu Zongmin. ”

Gao Guiying echoed: "Governor Lin Du is reasonable, Liu Zongmin is brave and good at fighting, and he is the number one general in my army. The soldiers and horses under his command are also elite divisions, and it is not easy to defeat him, so let's wait for the Qing army to retreat and then make plans! ”

Lin Yu comforted the generals: "Liu Zongmin's refusal to merge is not a good thing for the generals, and the governor can put all the crimes on him and let him be the scapegoat." ”

"That's a brilliant plan!"

Tian Jianxiu clapped his hands and praised, "Many bad things are that Liu Zongmin instigated King Chuang's orders, and even he made his own decisions." He relied on himself and King Chuang to be fellow villagers, arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and no one in his eyes, so it was not wrong for him to carry this pot at all! ”

"The Qing army is menacing, and the strength of Zuo Mengeng is stronger after the surrender, so our army still needs to unite with Liu Zongmin to resist the Qing."

Lin Yu stood in front of the map and analyzed the situation for the generals, "Azig, Shang Kexi, and Zuo Mengeng are afraid that they have more than 400,000 troops, and our army alone will definitely not be able to contend with them." Therefore, even if you hate Liu Zongmin again, you must not tear your face. ”

Gao Yigong agreed with Lin Yu's point of view: "What the governor said is extremely true, although Liu Zongmin is hateful, he still has bones. He hated the Tartars, and the Tartars hated him, but they didn't have to worry about him taking refuge in Jiannu. ”

"The Qing army has occupied Wuchang for more than half a month, and it may cross the river at any time, where should our army go next?" Li Guo stared at the map and asked Lin Yu.

Yuan Zongdi suggested: "Tongcheng, Pingjiang, and Xiangyin are all small county towns, and they will definitely not be able to stop the Qing army's attack. Now that we have submitted to the imperial court, why don't you take us to Changsha? The walls of Changsha were thick enough to withstand the Qing army's attack. ”

"Changsha is under the rule of the governor of Huguang, I don't know if we will be allowed to enter the city?" Li Guo looked worried.

Hao Shaoqi looked at Lin Yu and shouted loudly: "Since we have defected to Lin Dudu, we will be the army of the imperial court from now on." Why didn't the defenders of Changsha let us into the city? Unless the court does not accept our submission and treats us as a thief army! ”

Lin Yu smiled and comforted: "General Hao, don't be impatient, I saved Yuan Jixian, the governor of Huguang, on the way to Tongcheng, and he is raising troops and horses in Changsha at this moment." If you want to enter Changsha City, you only need to say a word from the governor ......"

After a while, he analyzed: "According to what Yuan Butang said, he was able to gather fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses to defend Changsha, plus our team of about 100,000 people, it was a waste to defend the city. There is not much chance of winning in the field battle out of the city, so it is better to stay on Jiugong Mountain and take guerrilla warfare......"

"Guerrilla warfare?"

The generals asked one after another, with question marks floating on their heads, "What is a guerrilla warfare tactic?" ”

Lin Yu slowly paced in the tent with his hands behind his back, and said in a loud voice: "In short, it is to attack the rear of the Qing army on the mountain, so that they cannot concentrate on attacking Changsha with all their strength."

To sum it up in 24 words, that is: the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance. Before the enemy attacks us, I attack behind the enemy. The enemy is stationed in me to disturb, and the enemy is tired and I fight! ”
