Why did the soldiers of the second department of the party and the tower who had the majority of the old Shun army shave their hair and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty?

It's not that they can't fight, it's not that they don't dare to fight.

If they don't dare to fight, they can't fight, and they won't persist in resisting the Qing Dynasty for 20 years in this Three Gorges area!

The root cause is that it is completely out of despair and loses the confidence to persevere.

To put it more bluntly, I don't know who to fight for.

Dashun is dead, and they can still fight for Daming.

Da Ming is dead, who are they fighting for?

This scene not only happened in Shunying, but also in Xiying.

Yongli chilled the hearts of the soldiers of the Xiying again and again, but as long as Yongli was still alive, the soldiers of the Xiying were still fighting bravely against the Qing army under the command of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, even if they retreated to the wilderness.

But the news of Yongli's death also made those Xiying soldiers who insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the country in the rainforest lose their last fighting spirit and faith.

Even though Li Dingguo's last words before his death would rather die in the wilderness than surrender to the Qing Dynasty, his son Li Sixing and Liu Zhen, the son of Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, and others still embarked on the road of reducing the Qing Dynasty.

Everything is because I don't know who to fight for!

But soldiers are never the ones who decide to fight or not to fight!

The vacillation of the officer ranks is the last link in promoting collective shaving.

Li Sixing, Liu Zhen and others "monopolized" the right to choose whether Xiying would fight or surrender.

The clique of officers headed by Dang Shousu and Ta Tianbao also "monopolized" the choice between whether or not to demote their subordinates.

After the non-surrendering officer was killed, the non-commissioned officers who had no choice could only be forced to shave their hair with the party and the tower.

Since Wang Wu had killed the party and cut off the back road for his subordinates to surrender again, he had to point out a direction for these people.

That's what it's for.

Otherwise, even if these people are willing to fight again, the morale of the army will not be too high.

The previous rescue of Liu Tichun was the goal that Wang Wu pointed out to them, and it was also the hope.

Now that this hope is shattered, in order to prevent Liu Tichun's death from affecting the morale of the army, and then shake the will of the party and the old tower to continue to resist the Qing Dynasty, Wang Wu naturally has to give a new direction.

A feasible direction, a direction that everyone can strive for.

This direction is divided into short-term and long-term.

In the short term, it is to find a new commander-in-chief.

At present, there are no more than three heavyweights in the Ming army who can stand side by side with Liu Tichun.

The first is Li Zicheng's heir - Li Laiheng, the Duke of Linguo.

It took Maolu Mountain as the base area to resist the Qing Dynasty, with more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians, and was the strongest part of the Ming army so far.

The combat effectiveness is also the strongest.

The year before last, Dong Xueli, the governor of Huguang, broke through and killed more than 30,000 Qing troops on the Eastern Front, with Li Laiheng as the main force.

The second is Yuan Zongdi, the "Mianhou" of the Dashun regime and the "Yasukuni Gong" of the Ming Dynasty.

The third is Hao Shaoqi, the "Marquis of Nan'an" who once dared to hold Yongli hostage.

Yuan and Hao used to be the strongest and largest force of the Ming army in Kuidong, but now they were forced to retreat to Huangcaoping due to successive defeats by the Qing army in Shaanxi, and their vitality was greatly damaged, but there should still be two or three thousand remnants.

According to Ma Changyuan, the Yongli imperial court sent the military supervisor Hong Yuao, the eunuch Pan Yinglong, who was in Kuidong, and the eunuch Pan Yinglong were all in Hao Shaoqi's army, and there were two other Zhu Ming princes.

Therefore, the political influence of Yuan and Hao is actually greater than that of Li Laiheng.

No matter which of these three people is, it is enough to replace Liu Tichun as the leader of the Ming army to continue the struggle.

Become a new banner erected in the Kuidong area!

The long-term direction is the sentence that Wang Wu shouted without taboo.

If there is no imperial court, they will build another one!

If there is no emperor, they will have another one!

With the imperial court and the emperor, it is not the hope of the remnants of the Ming army, but the common hope of all the Ming troops who are still resisting.

This is also the reason why Wang Wu immediately attached great importance to the existence of Emperor Dingwu when he heard about it.

In the history of the Qing Dynasty, under the pretext of Zhu Ming's descendants, incidents abounded, and every time they could be supported and followed by the people, which shows that Zhu Ming's regime still has a strong appeal among the people.

A fake third prince of Zhu can make the Qing court sleep, not to mention a real Zhu Ming regime!

The slogan of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty even lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Strictly speaking, Mr. Nakayama, who overthrew the Manchus, was also one of them.

In the early days, they were not only members of the Hongmen who aimed to "oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty", but also went to the filial piety tomb for the first time after the success of the revolution.

Then, under the premise that his own qualifications are too shallow and he is unable to coordinate the Ming army to resist the Qing Dynasty together, Wang Wu will inevitably re-erect the banner of Zhu Ming, so that all the departments of the Ming army that have lost the belief in resistance will be reunited and cheered up.

What Ma Changyuan said not only gave Wang Wu enough confidence to call on everyone to follow him to find Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi, but also very likely to persuade Yuan and Hao to establish a new emperor.

Turn Emperor Dingwu, who may not exist, into reality.

That pro-vassal Han King is a ready-made "mascot".

I can't stay in the house anymore.

There is no food at all.

The old Mugang, which has become a ruin, is also unable to operate.

Even if Wang Wu led people to take the former enemy headquarters of the Qing army in Cizhulong.

No matter what the soldiers of the Party and the Second Department of the Tower think, Wang Wu must hurry up.

"Little grandfather, the top priority is to immediately move to Huangcaoping to join forces with Yuan and Hao Ershuai, otherwise once the Sichuan Qing army and Shaanxi Qing army on the western front press up, not only will we not be able to stop it, but we will not even have a chance to transfer!"

Wang Wu expressed his attitude to Liu Heng, and also briefly explained the situation of leading his troops to rescue all the way from Wujiayuanzi.

For Liu Heng, Wang Wu is very respectful.

There is also a hint of relief in my heart.

Although he failed to save Liu Tichun, he saved one of his children.

always temporarily preserved his Liu family's bloodline, instead of being martyred, leaving only loyal ministers without regret to future generations.

Since he was only a general in Jingzhou, Wang Wu handed over the final decision to this little grandfather Liu.

In fact, no matter whether the little grandfather agrees or not, he will lead his troops to the Yellow Lawn.

"Good!"

Liu Heng was also very straightforward and agreed to go to Huangcaoping to meet Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi.

He also said that his father had said before his death that Yuan and Hao wanted to protect King Han and King Anton and retreat to Xingshan to join Hushuai, but now they are difficult to gain a foothold in Laomugang, and they can only break through the encirclement with Yuan and Hao Hebing to Xingshan.

The people on Wang Wu's side had no objections.

At the moment, both sides cleaned up, counted casualties, rescued the wounded and cleaned up all the supplies that could be taken away.

Wang Wu admitted to Liu Heng frankly that he still had people on the way to Lao Mugang.

"Although the last general led his troops to behead Du Min, the deputy capital of Manchuria, there are still a lot of Manchurian soldiers deployed on the line from Lao Mugang to Huachanggou, and the last general needs to bring people to meet them."

This is reasonable, how can Liu Heng not agree.

After that, everyone went to Liu Tichun's martyrdom.

The fire has burned the entire house to rubble.

Mr. and Mrs. Liu Tichun have been reduced to ashes in the raging fire.

"Fifth brother!"

Wang Liu, the younger brother of Wang Wu, led several personal soldiers to carefully put the ashes of Liu Tichun and his wife into the altar in the ruins.

Looking at the jar containing his parents' ashes, Liu Yun's tears couldn't stop flowing again.

Everyone was sad, and the cries were all the same.

Wang Wu didn't say much, but only took his subordinates to kowtow three times to the martyred Liu Tichun and his wife.

After getting up, he thought that Liu Heng would take his parents' ashes with him.

I didn't want Liu Heng to take the jar and silently half a sound, but he actually reached out and grabbed his parents' ashes and raised them in the air.

This move stunned everyone.

"My father said before his death that one day if he was unfortunately martyred, there was no need to build a grave or erect a monument, and the ashes would be scattered in the place for which he had fought."

Liu Heng's nose was very sour, and he wanted to cry loudly.

But he knew he couldn't cry.

Daddy's spirit in the sky doesn't allow him to cry!
