The rogue at the end of the Ming Dynasty originated from famine.

In order to plunder grain, they traveled thousands of miles and poisoned hundreds of states.

Many of their deeds are hated and spurned.

Their hands were indeed stained with the blood of innocents, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of innocent people died because of him.

Many people blame the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the sinking of China, and the loss of their clothes.

Some people even said, "Don't be an An'an starvation, but follow the praying mantis".

Many people have forgotten one thing, whether it is Gao Yingxiang or someone else.

Most of them were just ordinary people or soldiers at the time of the uprising.

Some of them were displaced people who fled due to disasters, others were desperate due to taxes, soldiers who were unable to support their families due to arrears, and poor tenant farmers who lost their land and were oppressed.

At first, they just wanted a bite to eat, a way to live.

All they want is to be able to live.

In the Shaanxi disaster, what they were waiting for was not to provide relief for the famine, but to increase taxes.

The envoy of conquest is in a hurry to spark.

The name of looting is as dense as a cow's hair.

This was the beginning of the popular uprising.

The way of the world has driven them to a dead end, and those adults who sit high on the temple have forced them into rogues and forced them to a dead end.

Is it reasonable to ask a group of people who can't even eat enough to strictly abide by "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith" to strictly abide by morality, and is it possible?

The problems faced by the peasant army at the end of the Ming Dynasty were more difficult than those faced by the peasant armies that launched uprisings in previous dynasties.

Although the famine caused them to gather a large number of men in the early stages of the uprising, it also made many places uninhabitable, and they could not occupy the original places as bases.

Historically, when the peasant rebel army developed to a certain size, it would begin to restrain military discipline and develop in the direction of regularity.

However, the civil rebellion lasted for more than ten years at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it has not developed to a certain scale.

At this time, although the Ming army had repeatedly failed on the battlefield in Liaodong, the Ming army was actually not weak.

In fact, the defeat of the Liaodong battlefield was not due to military strength, but more to political problems.

The Ming troops who quelled the rebellion came from all directions, forcing them to become rogues.

If they didn't continue to coerce those ordinary people as military force, they would be exterminated in a short period of time, so the final consequence was that in the later stage of the civil uprising, the peasant military exercises in various places became rogues.

At first, with the help of knives and guns in their hands, they ate rice again and survived.

But some of them ate not only rice, but also meat, and they also tasted flesh and blood.

So many people began to walk down the muddy path, and they raised their butcher's knives to those who were as poor as they were.

No matter in any group, there will always be some people with ill intentions and bad morals.

But this is not a reason to reject it altogether.

In the torrent of the times, everyone is just being dragged forward.

Even if he struggled desperately, he still seemed extremely powerless.

How can the general trend of the world be easily changed?

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, this popular uprising swept through most of China and lasted throughout the Chongzhen period.

Among them, there are indeed those who are mad, there are indeed cruel and bloodthirsty, and there are indeed those who have lost their conscience.

But among them there are also visionaries, steadfast.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant army was fortunate to have three visionary leaders.

One is Wang Jiayin, who occupied Fugu as the foundation, and did not wander around, but developed on the spot, constantly expanding the territory, and actively fighting against the advancing Ming army.

It's a pity that he died at the hands of traitors and traitors.

The second is Wang Ziyong, after Wang Jiayin's death, he stood up and provoked the beam, he wanted to replace Wang Jiayin and inherit Wang Jiayin's last wish.

It's a pity that his ability is insufficient and he has empty ambitions, but it is difficult to recover the overall situation.

He failed, and eventually died of illness in Jiyuan, and at his hands, the 36th Battalion of Rebels began to transform into a rogue, because only when a rogue, could he live.

The last one is Gao Yingxiang.

When he took over as the leader of the alliance, the world was completely chaotic, the seventy-two battalions were mixed with each other, and the atmosphere in the army was already difficult to reverse.

He was well aware of this situation, so after he was elected as the leader of the alliance, the first thing he wanted to do was to capture Xi'an and capture Guanzhong.

He knew very well that only by occupying a fixed territory and starting to upgrade his armament could he make up for the foot soldiers, have the strength to fight the Ming army, and get rid of the identity of a rogue.

However, he ultimately failed.

……

Although the rain was light, it still made a lot of noise when it fell on everyone's bodies.

The sound of war drums from the mouth of the valley seemed to come from the sky against the backdrop of the rain.

Rainwater accumulates on the high slopes, and after reaching a certain level, it flows slowly down the high slopes.

Chen Wang stepped forward, and the surrounding armor soldiers retreated to both sides, making way for a passage.

On the high slope at this time, the guards who originally guarded Gao Yingxiang had already been killed.

As long as Chen Wang gave an order, the soldiers under his command could rush forward and directly capture Gao Yingxiang.

Chen Wang clenched the Yanling knife in his hand, if he and Gao Yingxiang were in a different situation, he would definitely not be as calm as Gao Yingxiang.

In fact, Chen Wang had a lot of things he wanted to ask Gao Yingxiang, but these questions were all blocked in his throat in the end, and there was no way to ask them.

As a battalion general, he can't have too much communication with Gao Yingxiang.

Hundreds of pairs of ears listened to their conversation.

Gao Yingxiang held the Yanling knife in his hand and stood alone in the encirclement.

Even though he was surrounded by enemies, there was still not the slightest fear on his face.

Chen Wang looked at Gao Yingxiang, who was standing not far in front of him, and his heart turned a thousand times.

Although the results were all defeats in Heishuiyu, what happened to Gao Yingxiang had actually changed.

In the original time and space, Gao Yingxiang was also ambushed in Heishuiyu, but he was not trapped in the valley after the defeat.

Cao Bianjiao also did not participate in the battle of Heishuiyu, but surrounded and suppressed the rebellious Guotianxing.

On July 15, Gao Yingxiang went out of Heishuiyu and visited Xianyou Temple.

However, when the valley rose on the 16th, under the situation of being ambushed by the Ming army, Gao Yingxiang commanded the army to counterattack in the face of danger, and even won the first battle.

Sun Chuanting's superintendent battalion was defeated several times, and the general Li Yuchun was wounded and left the battle, and the camp suffered heavy losses.

After Hong Chengchou led the troops to arrive, he finally held the defense line and blocked Gao Yingxiang's follow-up attack.

On July 20, after four days of fierce fighting, Gao Yingxiang still did not give up hope, and he led his subordinates to attack again.

In this attack, Gao Yingxiang led the army to break through Heishuiyu and retreated all the way to the northwest, wanting to withdraw in the direction of Fengxiang Mansion.

He was only one step away from escaping and ascending to heaven.

But on Ma Zhaoyuan, Gao Yingxiang and his soldiers and horses were entangled by the Ming army on the way to evacuate, and happened to meet Zu Kuan, who led the troops all the way from Xi'an.

First heavy rain, then heavy fog, at this time Gao Yingxiang still did not think about surrendering and giving up, he personally came to the front, boosted morale, and led his troops to defeat the Ming army's offensive again and again.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Er, the leader of the battalion under his command, and Huang Long, the leader of the outpost, had already negotiated the conditions with the Ming army in private and chose to surrender.

At the time of the battle of Ma Zhaoyuan, they took advantage of the fog after the rain to secretly pull their soldiers away to the south......

The battle line was completely broken, and Gao Yingxiang was defeated and captured, and then sent to the capital, where he was executed by Ling Chi.

From being captured to the capital, even in the end, even if it was at the torture platform, Gao Yingxiang did not beg for mercy.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant army was fortunate because they had three visionary leaders who led them all the way forward and constantly corrected their mistakes.

But the peasant army at the end of the Ming Dynasty was also unlucky, because they had only three visionary leaders.

After Gao Yingxiang's death, neither Li Zicheng nor Zhang Xianzhong were able to provoke the beams and unswervingly move forward.

After Li Zicheng finally founded the country and became emperor, he was not able to completely get rid of his rogue habits.

After the defeat of Yishi, he directly chose to abandon the city of Beijing, and then when facing the Qing army, he still used the old tactics to deal with the Ming army......

Although Li Zicheng far surpasses Gao Yingxiang in terms of achievements, he does not have Gao Yingxiang's heart after all.

"Woo————"

In the distance, one horn after another sounded, continuously, interrupting Chen Wang's thoughts.

Chen Wang saw clearly, and a large number of Ming cavalry suddenly appeared at the mouth of the valley.

There is no doubt that Hong Chengchou had already led the troops to arrive at this time.

"Winner ...... Determined"

Gao Yingxiang looked back at Yukou, he knew that he was about to die, but his expression was surprisingly calm.

Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky.

It seems that this destiny is not in him......

……

The thunder and lightning are hidden, and the wind and rain are gone.

As the sky began to shine, the rain became lighter and lighter.

Although the light rain was still dripping, the sunlight had already sprinkled through the gaps between the clouds and fell into the Heishui Valley.

The light finally returned to the earth, and the world became bright again.

It's just that in the current Heishui Valley, it is not as green as in the past, but a strange dark red color.

At the foot of the North Mountain, there is also the direction of the valley, and a large number of corpses are piled up on top of each other, like a city wall made of flesh and blood.

The black water flowing through the valley can no longer be called black water at this time, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the blood river.

In the valley of Heishuiyu, the elite cavalry of the Ming army of the brigade was pursuing the remnants of the fleeing army.

And many more of them were tied behind their backs, kneeling on the ground, and became prisoners.

The light soldiers of the Ming army with sharp axes and blades walked on the battlefield, waving the blades in their hands to cut the heads.

Behind them were men with bags and baskets, who followed them in search of anything that could be used again.

Armor, blades, stones, jewels, utensils, and even clothing, shoes, and socks......

A large number of horses were gathered in the management, and the cavalry with their whips pointed at them drove the horses towards the makeshift stalls.

The battle of Heishuiyu has actually come to an end, the dust has settled, and everything is over.

Beishan camp, inside the tent of the Chinese army.

Hong Chengchou was wearing a python robe and a black veil on his head, sitting upright in the middle left position.

Sun Chuanting also wore a black veil on his head and a scarlet official uniform, sitting next to Hong Chengchou and sitting on the right side of the center.

The brocade chicken embroidered with the complement on his chest shows his status as a governor.

In the tent, all the Ming army generals and colonels sat on both sides.

The one who sat first on the left was undoubtedly Zu Kuan.

Zu Kuan was promoted to the governor of Shandong because of his exploits in relieving the siege of Shandong and attacking the rebels.

Later, because of the evaluation of military exploits, he was awarded the title of Deputy Thousand Households of the Foreign Guard by the Generations and was promoted to the Deputy Chief Soldier.

was transferred to the Guannai to quell the rebellion, and was named the deputy commander-in-chief of the aid and suppression, and his status was the highest among the generals.

Cao Wenzhao was leading the army in Yan'an Mansion at this time to confront Li Zicheng, and Hong Chengchou brought only He Renlong, Cao Bianjiao, Gao Jie, Sun Shoufa and other generals.

He Renlong is still only the deputy chief soldier, and his status is naturally not as high as Zu Kuan, but he only sits in the position of the head of the right.

After that, Li Chongzhen, Cao Bianjiao, Gao Gui, Gao Jie, Sun Shoufa and others sat in separate ranks according to their grades.

Everyone was still wearing battle armor and had not changed out, and the armor on their bodies was covered with the smell of blood, and the smell in the tent was also quite unpleasant.

But no one frowned on this, and these things are all too common on the battlefield.

Both Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting looked calm and peaceful.

All the generals in the tent were seated, but in the end, a seat was vacated.

This position sat opposite Li Chongzhen, and Cao Bianjiao did not sit there, but sat next to Li Chongzhen.

Li Chongzhen is the deputy commander-in-chief, and together with Zu Kuan, he led the cavalry into the pass to suppress, except for Zu Kuan and He Renlong, his status is the highest.

According to the order of the seats, the person sitting opposite him is only lower than his status, but higher than Cao Bianjiao.

The eyes of all the generals in the tent naturally converged on it.

No one was speaking at this time, and they already knew the general situation of what had happened in the battle of Heishuiyu.

Everyone knows who this position is left to.

All the generals are looking at the nose and waiting patiently.

Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou were talking in a low voice about government and military affairs.

Nothing in the tent could affect their minds.

After a long silence, a hurried sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from outside the tent, and the noise outside the tent also rose, all of which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Including Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, everyone in the tent raised their eyes to look at the position of the tent curtain.

The curtain was lifted, revealing a suit of armor almost soaked in blood, followed by a blood-stained face.

Chen Wang stepped into the tent, rain mixed with blood rolling down his armor.

Chen Wang raised his head and looked at Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting who were sitting at the top, bowed down, and said in a deep voice.

"The humble position was lucky to win, and the thief chief was high and welcomed, fortunately not dishonored!"

I tried the anti-theft chapter.,I don't know if it's useful.,If there is a repetition of paragraphs,You can refresh the app.,It should be a normal chapter.。

After this chapter, we will begin to enter the stage of farming development

This chapter is not a whitewash of what the Liukou did in the late Ming Dynasty.

But the main culprits for the deterioration of the situation and the demise of the Ming Dynasty were actually the ever-expanding and controlled civil bureaucracy, as well as the insatiable greedy gentry landlords.
