Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Fall of Duoduo
"Alright, don't talk about it."
Gao Guiying is Li Zicheng's wife and the founding Empress Yongchang of the previous Dashun.
After the cuckold incident, she was regarded as the "wife" who accompanied Li Zicheng all the way to the upside, sharing joys and sorrows, and she was also a woman who did not let her eyebrows.
She has been squatting in the back, looking coldly at these founding civilians of Dashun.
Looking at them, revealing their true form less than a few days after her husband's death, Gao Guiying just felt a wave of nausea in her heart.
She originally wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking that this was her husband's life's work, as soon as she left, Dashun would be completely finished.
None of these people obey anyone, and they will definitely go to the road of fire and division.
Gao Guiying has always thought that the edict canonized by the Ming Dynasty can be described as sincere, maybe this current Ming Emperor can really abandon his past suspicions and fight against Dashun together?
Soon, though, she realized she was thinking too much.
His husband, Li Zicheng, the Yongchang Emperor of Dashun, spent his life to resist the tyranny of the Ming court, could he not know that this was against his original intention?
Since the husband has chosen the road of Lianming to resist the Qing Dynasty, he should carry this banner and continue to walk firmly on this road!
Thinking of this, Gao Guiying's cold face gradually turned around, facing the civil and military forces of the Dashun army in front of him.
"Returning to the Ming Dynasty is the decision of King Chuang."
"Before King Chuang died in battle, he had already decided to unite with the Ming court to resist the Qing captives, even if he wanted to rebel again, he would have to wait until the Qing captives were beaten out."
This slender woman, but a, is in charge of all the women of the soldiers in the Dashun army.
Even Li Zicheng's advice that he often asked her for still had a certain deterrent effect in the Dashun army.
Besides, Gao Guiying is not herself.
His younger brother, General Quan, was a high meritorious, and his subordinates were the largest except for Li Guo.
Seeing that his sister had decided the final path, Gao Yigong didn't continue to hide it, he stood up, clapped his hands and said:
"I listened to my wife's opinion, this is true, after all, when King Chuang was not killed in battle, he made an agreement with Ming Tingna."
"King Chuang's bones are not cold, so we won't take his words seriously, aren't the brothers afraid that they will have no face to face King Chuang after death?"
Li Guo and Gao Yigong's subordinates were the largest among all of them, and the two of them all stood on the side of the Ming Court, and Li Zijing didn't dare to say anything more.
He snorted coldly: "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other, you go to vote for your Daming, and I will go to surrender my Daqing!" ”
"If you see you on the battlefield in the future, don't leave any mercy!"
Gao Yigong sneered: "Don't wait for the future, I think now, your head is the best gift for us to meet Emperor Daming." ”
When the words landed, the audience suddenly became nervous.
Seeing that the two parties were about to fight, it was Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo who came out to be a peacemaker, and he persuaded:
"Everyone is a brother who follows King Chuang to fight the world, and you can't kill each other when King Chuang's bones are not cold."
Then he looked to the side and said, "Li Zijing, you have to think about it, if you go north and surrender the Qinggou, we will become complete enemies!" ”
Li Zicheng stood up, kicked over the table where they had eaten together not long ago, and laughed loudly: "I have thought about it a long time ago!" ”
"The Ming Dynasty has run out of energy, and the Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains is a certainty, I want to be a minister of the dragon, better than you to be a dog of the Ming Dynasty!"
......
Li Zicheng died on Jiugong Mountain, and the remnants of the Dashun army who followed him all the way south had a dispute.
Fortunately, Li Zicheng's wife Gao Guiying reconciled, which avoided the internal fire of the Dashun army, but the main force of the Dashun army was still divided in Hubei.
One-third of the people, following Li Zijing, the king of the northwest, that is, Li Zicheng's third brother, went to the Qing army to surrender.
The remaining two-thirds of the people, the number is about 40,000, under the leadership of Gao Guiying, Gao Yigong, Li Guo and others, they have changed to the banner of Daming.
This Dashun army decided to cross the Yangtze River to Nanjing, where it met with the Shaowu Emperor Zhu Cihong.
......
A few days later in the night.
Hubei.
In the middle of the narrow mountains, the brook reflects the full moon, and the sand beats under the calm surface.
Soon after, several colors of dragon pattern banners appeared.
The first member of the Qing army was a general, surrounded by white heavy armor, with a high lightning rod helmet on his head, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.
He squinted at the sides of the mountain, hesitant.
"I heard that the thief died in Jiugong Mountain, and I don't know if it's true or not, if he is ambushed by the Shun army again, the regent is afraid that a few more Nikans will suffer."
Heshuo Beleni on his side said with a smile: "Prince Yu, rest assured, the Shun army has already been beaten to pieces by my Qing Dynasty, and after the last battle, I am afraid that I will no longer have the strength to fight back." ”
Duoduo laughed, "That's good." ”
The two were discussing whether to march at full speed, after all, they had already arrived in Hubei, and the rest of Li Zicheng's main force was in Hubei, and they were all afraid of these Dashun troops.
In Wuchang that time, Duoduo was seized by Li Zicheng to fight back because of the light enemy's rash advance, if it wasn't for Zuo Menggeng's sudden surrender to save him desperately, Duoduo's life may be confessed in Wuchang.
Now in the entire Central Plains, only Li Zicheng's Dashun army has the ability to organize large-scale battles, and it still has to be defended.
If he dies at this good time to make contributions to the Qing Dynasty, it will be too unjust.
At this time, Azig and the other three roads have already arrived in Huguang, and the heavy troops are gathered, and the Li thief is unable to escape this time.
At this time, a white flag sentry rode back, and Yu immediately said: "Prince Qiyu, Li Zicheng died in Jiugong Mountain, and Shunkou Yu cleared Jiugong Mountain, and now it is divided into two parts. ”
"Some of them came to our army, claiming that they wanted to surrender to our Qing Dynasty, and some of them went south, for fear that they would surrender the Ming army."
Duoduo has never taken the scattered Nanming in his eyes, but he heard that some people came to surrender after the division of the Dashun army, and he felt novel.
Nikan frowned and said: "Could this be the suspicious plan of the Li thief, who wants to take the opportunity to escape to Henan, Prince Yu, this has to be guarded against!" ”
Duoduo smiled and said, "I know this, let the army set up an ambush on both sides, and call the leader led by them to come alone." ”
"They came to their deaths themselves, it's not fun, so what's the point?"
After a short time, Li Zijing turned his horse over, saw Duoduo, as if he had seen his master's pug, immediately turned over and dismounted, kowtowed, and shouted:
"The criminal minister Li Zijing led 20,000 Shun troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty!"
Seeing that the other party really came alone, Duoduo believed a little, took the reins of the horse in one hand, looked into the distance, and asked with a smile:
"The new emperor of the Ming Kingdom treats you well, and makes you the king of the Northwest, why do you let the king of the Ming Kingdom not do it, and want to bring me down to the Qing Dynasty?"
Li Zijing didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice: "The number of violent qi has been exhausted, the Great Qing Tenglong has ascended to heaven, and the criminal minister is acting in accordance with the will of heaven!" ”
"What a providential one." Duoduo sneered, and suddenly pulled out the tiger-headed steel broadsword he wore at his waist:
"If you can betray the Ming Kingdom today, you will betray my Qing Dynasty tomorrow!"
"What's more, you are the third brother of Li Thief, Yu Dashun has the power to appeal, this king can't allow you, it's better to borrow your head to please the regent!"
When Li Zijing heard this, he suddenly raised his head, but saw that the tiger head knife had already slashed over with the sound of the wind, and he couldn't hide in time, and his head was cut off with a knife.
Duoduo put away his sword, turned around, and said, "Go and tell these remnants of the army that this king has accepted their surrender." ”
"Trick them in, kill them all, and leave not a single one!"
"These heads are all counted as the future of my Eight Banners disciples!"
