Chapter 625: Have You Forgotten Emperor Longwu!

Wang Guangxing was the Duke of Jing canonized by the Yongli Imperial Court, and there was also a Duke of Jing in the Song Dynasty, but he was a generation of famous ministers Wang Anshi. Wang Guangxing www.biquge.info's real name is Guangtai, and he has three brothers, the eldest brother Wang Guangen and the younger brother Wang Chang. Speaking of which, although Wang Guangxing is one of the thirteen families in Kuidong, he was a mortal enemy with the Dashun army back then, which is very similar to Wu Dading, who was born in the Longbu of He Ren.

The three Wang Guangtai brothers participated in the Liukou rebellion during the Chongzhen period, and the eldest brother Wang Guangen made a name for himself in the peasant army, nicknamed "Guan Suo". In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Wang Guangen led his brothers to accept the Ming Dynasty's appeasement, and the department was reorganized into an official army. During the period of holding Xunyang, the Dashun army attacked Xunyang twice in succession and was defeated. In the first year of Hongguang, when the Qing army pursued the Dashun army to Yunyang, Wang Guangen surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Xu Qiyuan, the Yunyang Fuyuan appointed by the Ming Dynasty, and was appointed by the Qing court as the general army of Xiangyang. Later, Wang Guangen was framed and arrested and sent to Beijing because of friction with Pan Shiliang, the Yunyang Fuyuan appointed by the Qing Dynasty, Wang Guangtai and his third brother Wang Chang raised troops against the Qing Dynasty and accepted the canonization of the Yongli Imperial Court.

Later, Wang Guangtai and Wang Chang were defeated by the Han army led by the Qing court's servant Lang Kaqam, and had to withdraw from Yunyang, and burned down 29 large and small city towers and garrison nests in Yunyang Mansion before leaving. The Wang brothers entered Sichuan from Fang County, and their subordinate Li Shiying, the chief soldier, rushed to Xing'an Mansion in Shaanxi Province in an attempt to join the anti-Qing armed Mi Guozhen and Wu Dading who had been active there, but Mi Guozhen had been captured by the Qing army, and Wu Dading fled to Sichuan. Li Shiying's troops were alone and had nowhere to stay, so they were defeated by the Qing army.

After entering Sichuan, Wang Guangtai and his younger brother Wang Chang have been active in the Kuidong area, and the rest of the Dashun Army Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Shaoqi, He Zhen and other troops jointly fought, becoming one of the "Thirteen Kuidong Families", Yongli Imperial Court canonized him as the Duke of Jingguo, and it was also during this period that Wang Guangtai changed his name to Guangxing, taking the meaning of revival and rejuvenation.

The year before last, Hu Quancai, the governor of Qinghuguang, had ordered someone to recruit Wang Guangxing, but Wang Guangxing replied: "Yunyang was killed that day, and so far tears have dropped from Jiuyuan", "Don't be hungry in Shouyang, and the old place is cloudy", Wang Guangxing said through this letter that in view of the innocent murder of his brother Wang Guangen by the Qing court, he swore not to stand with the Qing court as a brother.

After Hu Quancai received this letter, he smiled and said to his staff: "This Wang Guangxing will surrender in the future, because his people only complain about the Qing Dynasty because of his brother's death, and he is not really hostile to Manchuria, and he has little loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Last year, when the university scholar Wen'an organized the attack on Chongqing, Wang Guangxing's third brother Wang Chang died in the city, and he is now the only one left among the three brothers, so the hatred for the Qing court is becoming more and more intense, but as Hu Quancai, who was released by the Qing court and taken back to Beijing, said, Wang Guangxing's hatred for the Qing court is only a personal hatred, but he is not half loyal to the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty really can't do it, there is no possibility of revenge in this life, and Wang Guangxing is afraid that he will really consider surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.

After receiving a letter from Li Laiheng informing him that Emperor Yongli had abandoned the country and fled, and that Zhou Shixiang, the marshal of the Taiping Army, wanted to support the Tang Dynasty and supervise the country, Wang Guangxing, the Duke of Jing who was personally canonized by Yongli, did not feel any sadness and despair, but immediately sent people to Yuanzhou to express his support to Zhou Shixiang, the marshal of the Taiping Army. In his handwritten letter to Zhou Shixiang, Wang Guangxing did not mention the title of Duke given to him by Yongli, but only said that he was willing to be a pawn of the Taiping Army and drive the lead for the Tang Dynasty, and said that he should try his best to persuade the generals of the loyal battalion to respond to support Tang.

In his letter to Zhou Shixiang, Wang Guangxing almost used his head to guarantee that the loyal battalion would definitely support the support of the Tang Dynasty, but the conference has been held so far, not only have the various families failed to reach an opinion on supporting the Tang Dynasty, but Hao Shaoqi and they have jumped out to "support the Han". Wang Guangxing was a little anxious, in the letter to Zhou Shixiang, he swore an oath, but at that time, he only said that the people in the loyal camp would know the current affairs, and the Taiping army had a great favor to them, so they would definitely respond to support Tang, who would have thought that things had changed like this, God knows if Hao Shaoqi had their brains in the water, and they actually thought about "supporting Han" to get a person from Long Xunchen to do!

The Taiping army is now powerful, not only trapped hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in the southwest, but also has two Guangxi territory, Huguang and several mansions are also in their hands, and the Taiping army continues to hit the Manchurian soldiers and horses, if the Tang Dynasty succeeds, it will become the backbone of the world's resistance to the Qing Dynasty, so Wang Guangxing completely bet on the Taiping army for revenge. And if he wants Zhou Shi to believe in himself and have a place in the Taiping Army, Wang Guangxing must do something. He knew that although he lived with Li Laiheng and them in the thirteenth house, like Tan Hong and Tan Yi, who rebelled, the people in the loyal camp did not really believe in them, and if he jumped out and shouted to support Tang, things were likely to get worse, so he had an idea and thought of the respected Mrs. Gao.

Mrs. Gao is talking about Li Zicheng's wife, Gao Yigong's sister and Gao Guiying, the queen of the Dashun Dynasty.

When Mrs. Gao and Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, sang with their wives, worked together, shared weal and woe, and personally led a group of female soldiers with Aunt Mizhi in northern Shaanxi as the backbone to form the women's army, when Li Zicheng led the army and the Ming Dynasty official army to face the enemy, the old camp was managed by Mrs. Gao, so that Li Zicheng and his generals could fight with the Ming army without any worries, which can be called a generation of heroines. After Li Zicheng's defeat and death, Mrs. Gao took Li Guo, Gao Yigong and He Zhen to lead the troops to continue to fight against the Qing soldiers, and later when the Ming Dynasty sent people to contact the Shun army to resist the Qing Dynasty, it was Mrs. Gao who insisted on uniting with the Ming Dynasty despite the differences, so she was named Mrs. Yipin of Jie Xiao Zhenyi by Emperor Longwu, and called her army "Loyal Battalion". After Li Guo's death, it was also Mrs. Gao who helped Li Laiheng, who was only 20 years old at the time, to maintain the situation, so that Li Laiheng could quickly unite all the troops of the Shun army and lead them to settle in Kuidong together. Over the years, Mrs. Gao has stopped asking about the affairs of the camp because of her advanced age, but in the hearts of the generals, Mrs. Gao is still the first person in the Shun army and the backbone of the loyal battalion.

Wang Guangxing mentioned Mrs. Gao, and Yuan Tao also thought of this section, and he then asked Liu Tichun: "Liu Erhu, such a big matter, you haven't asked the old lady what it means?" ”

Liu Tichun nodded slightly, and said, "King Zhengtian, the little tiger has sent his son back to ask his wife what he means, but he hasn't come back yet." "Fighting for the Heavenly King" is Yuan Tao's nickname.

Wu Dading hesitated for a moment, then got up and said: "The old lady is the wife of King Chuang, and she is also the queen of your Shun Dynasty, and now King Chuang and Dashun are gone, but her old man is still the backbone of your loyalty camp, such a big thing, what does the old lady mean, let's shake the Huang Thirteen family also want to hear it." If the old lady says that she supports Tang, then we will support Tang; The old lady said that she still wants to serve Yongli, so let's do the same. She wants to say that she supports Han, hey, I don't care about others, but I, Wu Dading, listen. ”

Wu Dading's words are not a lie, when he followed He Renlong to suppress the peasant army, he had heard of Gao Guiying's name, and admired this heroine a lot, and admired her vision. Therefore, Wu Da must really want to listen to Mrs. Gao's wishes.

"Yes, yes, you should listen to the old lady's opinion, her old man fought the world with King Chuang back then, and she has seen more of the world than us, how can you not listen to her opinion on such a big matter!" Ma Tengyun couldn't help nodding, and at the same time complained about Liu Tichun, why they didn't wait for the old lady's opinion to come over before holding a meeting.

Dang Shousu and other loyal battalion generals also followed, saying that they might as well wait for Mrs. Hou Gao's opinion before making a decision. Hao Shaoqi and He Zhen were both brought out by Mrs. Gao, so it would be difficult to say anything. Li Laiheng discussed with Yuan Zongdi, Pan Yinglong and others, and felt that it was better to wait for Mrs. Hou to come over before holding a meeting, otherwise everyone would have their own opinions, and the loyalty camp would not be unified within the camp, so how could the Thirteen Shake Huang families be convinced and supportive. This was being discussed, but there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then someone shouted, but it was Li Laiheng's son, 16-year-old Li Yi rushed back from Kuidong.

"Yi'er came back just in time, come in!" Hearing his son's voice, Li Laiheng showed joy on his face and couldn't wait to greet him.

"Father!"

Li Yi's immature face was stained with a lot of dust, but as soon as he came back, he was in a hurry to come over, and he didn't even bother to wash his face.

Li Yi's arrival made all the leaders in the hall stand up involuntarily, some were nervous, some were looking forward to it, and some were nervous.

Liu Tichun saw that the leaders of all the families were anxiously waiting to hear the letter, so he stepped forward and said to Li Yi: "Little Yizi, what did the old lady say?" ”

Li Yi glanced at his father, Li Guo smiled and nodded at him, and immediately said loudly: "Grandma said, whether you support the Tang Dynasty, go far away, our loyal battalion is the head of the camp set up by Emperor Longwu, and the name was given by Emperor Longwu back then, so we can't forget Emperor Longwu." Speaking closer, our loyalty camp was able to get out of trouble from Kuidong because of the help of other people's talents, giving money, food and land, which gave us a chance to breathe. In this world, there is no reason to tear down bridges when you cross the river. Now Yongli, the son of heaven did not become a weapon and ran to the vassal, he didn't want the Ming army and people, then let's listen to the talent, and support the Tang Dynasty to supervise the country! ”

Author's note: In the official history, Li Laiheng's father and son were martyred, and his son did not have a name left in the historical materials. Li Zicheng's ancestors and grandchildren resisted the Qing Dynasty for four generations, and they should be praised by the Han family.
