In the back garden of your mansion in Yongxin County, Yang Degui is basking in the sun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he is afraid of the cold in his old age, when he enters winter and has nothing to do, Yang Degui likes to bask in the sun in the garden, and the winter sun shines warmly on his body, which is very comfortable.

After imprisoning Yang Rui and Shen Yufeng for a while, Yang Degui finally figured out what happened.

Thinking that after a hundred years, the Yang family would have to rely on Yang Rui to support him in the future, Yang Degui found another excuse and beat him hard, beating Yang Rui all over his body, hiding in the house for seven or eight days before he was embarrassed to go out.

On this day, Yang Rui came home from county school, just walked to a crossroads, Liu Wanshi's Liu Ming, Huang Kui's son Huang Zhongming, Chen Bing's son Chen Youfu, three fox friends and dog friends came over with a smile, saw Yang Rui, Liu Ming said with a happy face: "Brother Yang, I was about to go to your house to find you." ”

"Is Brother Liu wanting to drink? But I don't have much money with me today. Yang Ruipi said with a smile.

The four of them drank together, and Yang Rui often paid for it, Yang Rui was already a little dissatisfied in his heart, and he had some talents, so he looked down on these three people and didn't want to soak with them often.

Shaking the jade bone fan proudly, looking around, Liu Ming pretended to be mysterious and said: "To tell you a great news, my father heard from a familiar official in Ji'an Mansion that Zhao Manzi was promoted to the north by Lu Xiang, the prime minister of the five provinces, to fight the Tartars. ”

"Really?" Yang Rui was so excited that he almost jumped three feet high.

This news made him so happy, he heard his father Yang Degui say that the Jurchen Tartars were a hundred times more powerful than the Liukou, if Zhao Manzi's militia was still nine deaths against the Liukou, then it was a hundred deaths to deal with the Tartars.

Seeing his happy look, Huang Zhongming said with a smile: "Of course it's true, here's how it happened......"

After listening to Huang Zhongming's words, Yang Rui walked home excitedly, and Zhang Wu and Liu Qi hurriedly followed.

When he got home, he came to the backyard,

"What are you going to do?" Seeing that he came to the backyard again, Yang Degui asked with a cold face.

Yang Rui said: "Father, I heard a good news, that Zhao Manzi was transferred to Beijing by Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the six provinces, to go to King Qin to fight Tartars......"

"Is it true? ......" Yang Degui stood up in surprise.

Yang Rui said: "It's true! ……”

"Okay, as long as he doesn't come back, let's see who dares to collect the security fee of the old man's grange and the entrance fee of the shop, and then the old man will think of a way to get the soap recipe in his hands, and then ......" Yang Degui said, twisting his beard and laughing.

In the chemical workshop of Mingfeng Village, Sun Yiping commanded the workers to make soap and shampoo, and the sales of soap and shampoo are getting bigger and bigger, and there are not enough people, and a new batch of workers has been recruited, which is barely enough.

Don't look at him calm on the surface, but his heart is up and down, why? Just because he is worried about the safety of Zhao Guohua and the volunteers.

Ever since he knew that Song Zhong of the county magistrate had sent Master Niu to inform the volunteers of the northward march to King Qin, he had become worried.

He knew that the good days in Mingfeng Village were all brought by Zhao Guohua, and the volunteer team was also formed by the relationship between Zhao Guohua and the government.

Once there is no Zhao Guohua, all this will quickly disappear.

"Dad, what's wrong with you, why are you always sad?" Sun Fu asked puzzled.

When Zhao Guohua set out on the expedition, for the safety of the flower workshop, he transferred 1,000 people from Qinglongzhai to form a left-behind team, and promoted Ma Bao as the captain of the team to the captain of the left-behind team, and appointed Sun Fu as the deputy captain in order to divide power.

Ma Bao is in charge of the guards outside, and Sun Fu is in charge of the patrols inside.

During this time, Sun Fu saw that his father had been preoccupied, and today he couldn't help but ask.

Glancing at his son, Sun Yiping sighed and said, "You said, your eldest brother Zhao and the volunteers were sent to fight with the Tartars, and I was worried about them......

"Dad, what are you worried about? As far as Brother Zhao's ability is concerned, it's fine. Sun Fu said with a smile.

For Zhao Guohua's ability, he is convinced, the soap, the shampoo, are all made by others, the silver is made by the uproar, one person, he raised five or six thousand soldiers, that is something that the prefect can't do.

Although the Tartars are said to be very powerful, the hundreds of magic weapons of the volunteers are big killers, even if they can't defeat the Tartars

But self-preservation, no problem at all.

After listening to his son's words, Sun Yiping thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go to the county government and see if there is any new news." ”

"Okay." Sun Fu agreed, and took a few team members to ride away.

After breaking through the sky Liu Guoneng and Zhang Miaoshou broke through from Heishuiyu, they hid in the nearby mountains and forests for a while, and when they saw that the officers and soldiers had withdrawn, they quietly sent people out to find out the news, and when they heard that Gao Yingxiang was caught by the officers and soldiers, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Several people discussed the future path, compared the abilities and measurements of Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, and decided to defect to Li Zicheng.

Walking day and night, he evaded several pursuits by the officers and soldiers, and finally found Li Zicheng near Shangluo Mountain in Shaanxi.

In the dense forest, in a long ravine, about 10,000 people in shabby clothes are resting inside, these people are men and women, old and young, everyone is drinking cold water, chewing black and hard mixed noodles steamed buns, this is Li Zicheng's peasant army.

After being defeated by Lu Xiangsheng at Chuzhou last year, Li Zicheng fled to Shaanxi, and in May of this year (the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636 AD). Li Zicheng led his troops to fight with the Ming army on the front line of Yulin and Suide in northern Shaanxi. When taking advantage of the victory to attack Mizhi, he accidentally fell into the ambush of the Ming general He Renlong, coupled with the heavy rain from the sky, Li Zicheng only had more than 100 horsemen left to escape.

Since then, he has been hiding in the dense forests and ravines of Shaanxi, not daring to expose his tracks.

Li Zicheng's original name was Hongji, the small character Huang Laier, the leader of the peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty, and lived in Yulin, Shaanxi. When he was a child, he shepherded sheep for the landlord and was a pawn in Yinchuan. In the uprising in 1629, he was a general under Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, who was brave and insightful. After Gao Yingxiang died, he succeeded to the title of King Chuang.

In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen (1643), he was called the king of Xinshun in Xiangyang, and in the first month of the following year, he established the Dashun regime, and the year name was Yongchang. Soon conquered Beijing and overthrew the Ming Dynasty. In April, Li Zicheng was defeated, withdrew from Beijing, and led his army to fight against the Qing army in Henan and Shaanxi. On May 17, the second year of Shunzhi (1645), he was hunted and killed by the militia in Jiugong Mountain, Tongcheng County, Hubei.

In a dry cave in the ravine, everyone sat around and discussed an important matter

In the middle is a man in his forties, burly, with powerful limbs, a dark and resolute complexion, and a hooked nose, he is the famous Li Zicheng.

He was only thirty-two years old, but after years of fighting and toil, he looked a little old.

"I heard that King Gao Yingxiang was arrested by the official army in Heishuiyu, I don't know if this news is true or not?" A bearded black man in his forties, with a strong body and powerful limbs, said loudly.

This strong man is Li Zicheng's iron buddy Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin (1607-1645), the word Jiexuan, a native of Lantian, Shaanxi, was originally a blacksmith, and gradually became the first general under him after following Li Zicheng's rebellion. Liu Zongmin is stout, strong in martial arts, strong in martial arts, strong in strength but rude in temperament. In the eleventh year of Chongzhen (1638), he broke through Tongguanyuan with Li Zicheng and hid in Shangluo Mountain. In the sixteenth year, he served as a general of Quan, and the following year, he was named Marquis of Ru in Xi'an. He joined the main force of the peasant army in Beijing and added the title of governor of Zuodu. After entering Beijing, he tortured and plundered the Ming officials. Later, he withdrew from Beijing with Li Zicheng and withdrew to Xi'an and entered Huguang.

In September of the second year of Shunzhi (1645), Liu Zongmin was captured and killed by the Qing army in the battle of Jiugongshan in Tongxian County (Hubei Province) during the retreat, at the age of 38

"In my opinion, it is better to send someone to investigate near Heishuiyu." The gentle-looking Tami Hideki said.

Tian saw Xiuzi Yufeng, and Li Zicheng was a general. Benevolence, with the style of a Confucian general, the number lock of the Sky Harrier from Li Zicheng to fight, many great achievements. and Li Zicheng retreated from Beijing, fled to Hubei, accepted the appeasement of He Tengjiao of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and surrendered to the Qing general Tong Yanghe. Li Guo returned to Li Guo when he went south. After the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon ordered that "those who rebelled repeatedly should be beheaded" and were killed.

Li Zicheng is still loyal to Gao Yingxiang, and he is also grateful, without Gao Yingxiang's promotion, there would be no status in the army where he is now, after listening to the words of the two, he nodded: "What the two brothers said is that I will send someone to Heishuiyu." ”

As soon as he said this, Li Guo walked in, bowed down and said, "General Yu, Liu Guoneng and Zhang Miaoshou are here." ”

"Huh? …… Come with me to meet them......" he said, and hurried out of the cave.

Liu Guoneng, Zhang Miaoshou and others saw Li Zicheng, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Brother Li, my brother has nowhere to eat, so I have come to invite Brother Li to eat." ”

In the words, the meaning of defection has been expressed.

When Li Zicheng's strength was weak, he was very happy to see the two of them coming, he took the hands of the two and said with a hearty smile: "The two brothers laughed, from now on, we are a family, I, Li Zicheng, will never let you drink and leave, and go into the cave to talk about King Chuang......"

Then, he instructed Li Guo: "Vacate our tent and let Brother Liu's men live." In addition, if you want to find some food and drinks, I want to have a drink with Brother Liu" After speaking, he took the two of them into the cave.

In the drumbeat of "dong dong dong", more than 3,000 Qing troops with knives and guns lined up in a battle line more than 100 meters long, moving towards the Zhuozhou city wall step by step.

Seeing the attacking Qing army from the telescope, Zhao Guohua put down his glasses and said to Li Xian, "Look at it, it seems that the Ming army that has surrendered to the Tartars." ”

"Really?" Li Xian said, taking the telescope from Zhao Guohua's hand.
