0629, Mrs. Gao's plan
The three-person game will inevitably be divided into champions, runners-up and third runners-up in the end.
The Dashun army defeated the Da Ming official army, and the Manchu Tatars defeated the Da Shun army.
If this is a competition, the champion is the Manchu Tartars, the runner-up is the Dashun Army, and the Ming official army is actually nothing.
It is a fact that the Ming court was indeed overthrown by Li Zicheng.
However, the Ming official army couldn't even defeat Li Zicheng's Dashun army, so how could they stop the Manchu Tartars who were like wolves and tigers?
There is no doubt that the fall of the Ming Dynasty is a matter of time.
Either he died from Li Zicheng, or he died from the Manchu Tartars, and in fact he died from the Manchu Tartars.
After the Manchu Tatars entered the customs, they never took the official army of the Southern Ming Dynasty as their opponents, but concentrated their forces on dealing with Li Zicheng's Dashun army.
Everyone knew about it, but the Donglin Party who controlled the Southern Ming Dynasty was suspicious and unwilling to admit this fact. Instead, he secretly colluded with the Manchu Tartars and joined forces to deal with Li Zicheng's Dashun army.
Shi Kefa did so, and he and Duoduo called him brother and brother, and exchanged courtesies. While burying the Bozhou Dashun Army, he also sent himself to the guillotine, and also dragged nearly one million people in Yangzhou City to accompany the funeral.
As a result, the moment Li Zicheng's Dashun army was defeated, the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty became a lamb to be slaughtered, and millions of people suffered miserably.
There is one person who sees this situation very clearly, she is Mrs. Gao, the niece of Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang.
Mrs. Gao grew up in the army since she was a child, and her mental toughness is different from ordinary people.
For Li Zicheng's slump, Mrs. Gao finally stood up and spoke: "Failure is temporary, there is no need to be discouraged. Now the nature has changed, and our enemies are the Manchu Tartars, not the officers and troops of the Southern Ming court. ”
"Dashun and Daming are both descendants of the subjects under the rule of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and the dispute between Dashun and Daming belongs to the contradiction between brothers. But there can be no doubt that the Manchu Tartars were foreigners and our common enemy. ”
"I lost faith in them and I lost faith in myself. Li Zicheng said: "Look at those faces of Nanming, the Manchu Tartars are chasing and killing behind, and they are intercepting in front, when can you see the friendship between brothers?"
If a person's heart dies, there is no medicine in the world to save it, but Mrs. Gao needs to fight with reason.
Because the 36th battalion is the brainchild of his uncle Gao Yingxiang, he can't just sacrifice it so inexplicably. That will become a sinner, and there will be no face to see the ancestors under the nine springs.
Mrs. Gao looked very patient: "Emperor, the situation has deteriorated to the current level, there are some things that you need to do, and others cannot replace them." Even if you don't have the heart to dominate the world again, you have to think about your brothers. Even ordinary people have to do things from the beginning to the end. ”
"Look at Li Guo, Hao Shaoqi, and Gao Yigong, these are all the second generation who grew up in the army. and the Praetorian Guard Liu Fangliang next to you, who are all brothers of the old battalion. Their forces have not suffered great losses, shouldn't you, the elder, show them a clear way?"
These words are reasonable, and Li Zicheng also thinks it makes sense. But he didn't have the slightest idea how to find a clear way.
One guest is not bothered by the two masters, Li Zicheng spread his hands and asked Mrs. Gao to come up with a way.
Mrs. Gao really knew it: "I led the Jiannu Camp to hide here, and in the future, I will find a way to gradually develop and grow in the Huoying Mountains and attract the attention of the Manchu Tartars." The emperor led Liu Fangliang's troops to immediately retreat eastward along the Huoying Mountain Range, leaving the current dangerous place as much as possible. ”
"Before the vanguard troops of the Manchu Tatars arrived, the emperor had to find a way to enter the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to get in touch with the Southern Ming Dynasty and show his sincerity in joining forces to fight against foreigners. Of course, the emperor can't just go to see the disciples of the Zhu family, otherwise it will cause suspicion. ”
Li Zicheng was a little dazed: "I'm already like this, what's the suspicion?"
Mrs. Gao shook her head: "Emperor, you are the Emperor of Dashun after all. As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters for the people. Of course, there will be suspicions when an emperor meets another emperor, even if one emperor kowtows to another emperor and is a vassal. ”
"If you want to join forces with Nanming, you must first eliminate the grievances between each other. Since the emperor no longer wants to continue to fight for hegemony in the world, he will simply abandon the identity of Emperor Dashun, forget what happened in the past, and deal with this matter as an outsider. ”
"The emperor's abandonment of the identity of Emperor Dashun has two advantages: first, it can let the Southern Ming court see the sincerity of the emperor to join forces against the enemy. Second, it can eliminate the encirclement and suppression of the Dashun army by the Manchu Tartars, and give them a chance to breathe, so that they can gather together to form a joint force. ”
Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "In this case, the best way is to declare that I am dead. The safest thing in the world should be the dead, and just changing an identity still can't eliminate the suspicion in people's hearts. Death is like a lamp going out, and as long as I am dead, it is impossible to pose a threat to anyone. ”
Mrs. Gao smiled: "If this is the case, of course it is the best." The concubine was worried about whether the emperor could really be so decisive. ”
After all, it is a generation of heroes, Li Zicheng shook his head after a little contemplation: "You can't just die here so inexplicably, you must find a better place and create a more convincing excuse to die in public." Since Madame wants to create a situation in which the north and the south are in harmony, then I will go to Jiangnan to announce the death again, so as to attract the attention of the enemy to Jiangnan. ”
At this point in Mrs. Gao's story, the one-eyed monk stared at Chige and said, "Originally, today was a good day to announce his death, but he was stabbed by General Chige, and now he can't die if he wants to." ”
"Mrs. Gao is a heroine, and when she first saw her in Jiangbei, she admired her five bodies. Chige shook his head: "There is something unclear below, and I ask the great monk to teach me." Why did you choose this place if you want to announce your death?"
The one-eyed monk smiled bitterly: "I took more than 30,000 people from Liu Fangliang's department to smuggle across the Yangtze River from Babaozhou, and then hid in Longhua Mountain. The main purpose was to think of Hangzhou to find Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, and after making clear the meaning of joining forces to resist the Qing Dynasty, he announced his death. ”
"I didn't expect the situation to develop too quickly, Nanjing fell, Hangzhou was broken without a fight, and the three massacres in Jiading also happened. Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, fled, and Zhu Changqing, the king of Huai, surrendered, and the entire Southern Ming court was not a person who could be entrusted at all. Li Guo is my nephew, Gao Yigong is my brother-in-law, I must not let them die in vain. ”
"Fortunately, the spies found that Bo Erhui's attack on Madaoji was blocked, and a big battle around Taihu Lake fully reflected the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. Gui Ying has already taken practical action, plus after the battle with Bo Erhui, so it is best to announce the death in this place. ”
Although Chige is not very proficient in the officialdom, as a general who can take charge of himself, he naturally has enough wisdom.
Li Zicheng wants to announce his death at this critical period, because he wants to eliminate the suspicion of Prince Xiong and the people around him.
After all, his wife has a heavy army and has become the sole role of someone else's family.
According to the general imperial idea, Gao Guiying, Li Guo, Gao Yigong, and Hao Shaoqi are all playing with fire.
If Prince Xiong, the emperor, is suspicious and suspects that Gao Guiying supports the army and respects himself, and waits for Li Zicheng to pull the flag and rebel again, not only Gao Guiying's life will be difficult to protect, but Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Hao Shaoqi and others will also be unable to survive.
In a word, Li Zicheng announced his death here, just to strongly express his attitude: I have withdrawn from the competition, and you can do whatever you want.
Li Zicheng decided to announce his death after the battle with Bo Erhui, and he had another intention, that is, to tell the rest of the Dashun army: Your emperor was killed by the Manchu Tartars, and if you want to take revenge, you will find the Manchu Tartars.
"The great monk is really a master, and he admires his thoughtfulness, which is indeed a good idea. ”
Chige is a diehard loyalist of Xiong Chu, and everything he thinks is from the perspective of safeguarding Xiong Chu's interests.
In fact, after Li Zicheng's identity was determined this afternoon, Chige's first reaction was not to prepare for him to continue to live, which in turn threatened the Xiong Prince.
Now that people are putting their hearts into their hearts and revealing their entire plans and plans, Chige is naturally not the one who rushes out all the killings: "Since the Great Monk is dead, where will he go in the future? Also, how should the news of the death of Emperor Li Zicheng of the Great Shun be announced, so as not to cause chaos to the brothers of the Great Shun Army?"
The one-eyed monk finally laughed: "This point has been arranged a long time ago, General Chige don't worry." First of all, once the news of death is announced, Gui Ying will issue a warrant to inform Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other core figures to explain the whole thing. ”
"Secondly, Liu Fangliang personally led the old battalion to fight against the Manchu Tatars, which lasted for two hours, and I believe that many people in the vicinity knew about it, so this news was naturally sent by Liu Fangliang to pass the news on. ”
"There are mountains of corpses on the battlefield, so find a random person who looks similar to me and bury it, and make a stone tablet to stand there, this is a seamless way to die. Then it was announced to the public that the thief Li Zicheng was hit by mistake and died in time. Even if someone investigates it in the future, it will not be possible to find out why. ”
Chige was also laughed at by the one-eyed monk: "The great monk really has a far-reaching plan, and he is bowing down!"
"Don't worry, I still have one more thing to ask for, I hope General Chige will be fulfilled. The one-eyed monk pointed at Liu Fangliang: "His vulgar fate is not over, and the murderous aura is too heavy, so he needs to have more experience in the red dust." Can General Chige take him under his tent and serve the enemy in the front?"
Chige nodded and shook his head: "General Liu is willing to join my Xiong family's army, of course it is unwanted. But the theory of collecting the account is not good, and you can immediately report to the emperor with Pegasus, and naturally there will be a new appointment. General Liu bravely crowned the three armies, and the world knew that the emperor would live up to the general's ambition. ”
By the time the guests and hosts had parted happily that night, the east had turned white.
Chige didn't sleep, but immediately drafted a notebook and ordered Chen Jie to send 800 li to the Jiujiang camp to report Mrs. Gao's plan and why Li Zicheng announced his death.
Emperor Li Zicheng of Dashun died, and was killed by mistake in the decisive battle with the cavalry of Boerhui's department.
The news spread early the next morning, and for a while there were various speculations and theories.
The news spread so quickly, and there was also the twist and turn of one of the parties, Bolhui. This can't be sloppy, killing the thief Li Zicheng is a great credit.
Chige didn't care about it because he was busy. The reason why he is very busy is that Prince Xiong, the emperor, sent a holy decree.
The holy decree was given to Liu Fangliang, to the effect that Liu Fangliang, a brave general, was given the title of a loyal general, with a provisional number of 12,000 people, and was subordinate to the Hengyang camp. The more than 2,700 war horses captured in the Battle of Nanfeng City were all left to Liu Fangliang's department. At the same time, the Hengyang camp was instructed to immediately replenish equipment in accordance with the standards of the Xiong Jiajun.
Chige explained all the matters clearly, especially the various military regulations and military discipline that were unique to the Xiong Jiajun, and then hurriedly left:
"General Liu, gather the old headquarters of the Dashun Army and expand it to 18,000 people, that is your task. Nanfeng County will be handed over to you to train the troops, and I will go to Ganzhou to command the operation. ”
Liu Fangliang was about to object, but before he could speak, Chen Jie rushed in from outside the yamen and said to Chige: "General, the big thing is not good! Tie Lihan sent someone to send urgent news, Lord Peng Wuying, the chief of the Hengyang Xing Camp, ordered the Shooting Battalion, the Praetorian Guard Battalion, and General Liu Fangliang's headquarters to set off immediately, and must recapture Ruijin County, Changning County (now Xunwu), and Dingnan County within ten days, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!"
