golden scales

History does not allow people to joke, but they always tell bad jokes for themselves.If it is said that there was an author in the late history script, then the screenwriter must be a Manchurian.The appearance of Zhu Cihong can be regarded as a change of crew and a non-Manchu scriptwriter.

Even so, the words "destined" still appear and disappear from time to time.

This is exactly what Li Zicheng said.

In the historical script of Zhu Cihong's previous life, the life and death of Li Zicheng is an unsolved mystery.Some people say that he became a monk and became a "Fengtianyu monk", and some people say that he died in Jiugong Mountain.Judging from the reaction of Li Zicheng's generals after his "disappearance", Mr. Gu Cheng, an expert on the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, believes that he did die in Jiugong Mountain.

However, even if Li Zicheng lost Shaanxi at that time, he still had tens of thousands of troops. Zuo Liangyu was so frightened that he escaped at night. Why did he die in Jiugong Mountain, which was only armed with the landlord's guards?The reason Mr. Gu Cheng analyzed was: he only brought a dozen or so bodyguards to survey the terrain, but he encountered the armed forces of the landowners in the mountains.The opponent didn't know that the man in front of the battle was the famous Li Zicheng, and he relied on the dual advantages of military strength and terrain without fear to end the revolutionary history of this hero.

In the original historical script, the time when Li Zicheng left the stage was in early May of 18 in the Western calendar, which is now the [-]th year of Chongzhen.

On the ninth day of May in the 18th year of Chongzhen, after Li Zicheng waited for the army to rest and reorganize, he led his troops to go south from Guangyuan, and Ma Ke went west from Baoning (now Langzhong), and attacked Mianzhou (now Mianyang) concurrently.Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and retreated from Mianyang to Deyang, and then to Chengdu.The Daxi Army scattered all over Sichuan also went to Chengdu to "King Qin".

After Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself emperor, he canonized his four adopted sons as kings.The 48th Battalion was established.The main force is called "Emperor Soldiers", and the folks draw one out of three.It is "Li Bing".During the war, the emperor's soldiers went out to fight, and the Li soldiers guarded the city.Of the 20 horses piled up from this, there are also [-] people who actually fight in armor.

Li Zicheng has been mourning for a long time, and he wants to earn a living in Sichuan.Thinking about how Zhang Xianzhong sent troops to fight against Hanzhong in August last year, it can be said that there was a grievance in the past, but in the near future, the whole army shouted the slogan "kill the yellow tiger", and the momentum was unstoppable.

May thirteenth.The Horse Department of the Shun Army approached Longquan Station and occupied Longquan Mountain.Liu Zongmin, as Li Zicheng's vanguard, traveled to Hanzhou (now Guanghan), crossed the Qingbai River, and Chengdu was in sight.

Zhang Xianzhong was startled three times a night in the Chengdu Imperial Palace, and broke out into mental illness again.Killing one's own wife, concubine, and son, one can hope for one's righteous offspring—then named Zhang Kewang, said: "I am also a hero for the first time, and I cannot leave my wife and children to be humiliated. From now on, you will be the son of the world."

Knowing that the situation was over, Sun Kewang gathered his troops overnight.Attack Mako eastward.Ma Ke was originally a general of the Ming Dynasty, and he was anxious all day long during Li Zicheng's purge.Sun Kewang was the first of the four famous generals in Xiying, and his reputation was even higher than that of Li Dingguo who later turned the tide and fought against the Qing Dynasty for 20 years.

In just one confrontation, Ma Ke was defeated by Sun Kewang and dared not return to Li Zicheng's camp.He simply fled to the southeast, but ran into Liu Wenxiu (played by Zhang Wenxiu) who came to King Qin.Had to flee to the southwest.

Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu met Zhang Xianzhong, and the three of them quickly decided that Liu Wenxiu would guard Longquan Mountain, and Sun Kewang would protect Zhang Xianzhong and go to Xichong to reorganize the troops and wait for the other two adopted sons: Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi to come to help.

Liu Wenxiu guarded Longquan all night, and met Dou Mingwang, the admiral who broke out from the siege and commanded the imperial capital.After the two joined forces, they left the rear troops behind and chased Zhang Xianzhong eastward.

It was such a big defeat that disgraced the entire Western Army, and Zhang Xianzhong even killed his wife and children... But after entering Chengdu, Li Zicheng was shot dead with a cold arrow by an unknown soldier.

That person was originally Zhang Xianzhong's guard, he was not in the camp when he broke through, and later hid in a tower outside the imperial city.He hadn't thought of assassinating Li Zicheng at first, but just at the right time, he happened to have a crossbow in his hand, and Li Zicheng happened to pass by his hiding place.Driven by loyalty and morality, as well as a resentment that was difficult to vent, the guard pulled the crossbow.

The crossbow arrow shot from Li Zicheng's left rib and reached his heart.

Li Zicheng's followers quickly found the stunned bodyguard, hacked him to death with a flurry of knives, and immediately began to clean Chengdu under Liu Zongmin's command, killing anyone with a staff.

On May [-]th, the Shun army completely occupied Chengdu and nearby counties, subduing the Yaotiandong headquarters that had been loyal to Zhang Xianzhong.The price they paid was the loss of the backbone - Li Zicheng.

After Zhang Xianzhong learned about it, he fled from Xichong laughing wildly all the way to Chongqing, as if he had returned to the situation in the Chaxiang Gorge that day.This kind of "miracle" of escaping the dead, turning the corner, and turning the corner has happened more than once in his life, and every time he made him happy, and even crazily fell in love with this feeling.

After Zhang Xianzhong arrived in Chongqing, he settled down again, but found that his situation still lacked a turning point.

Zunyi (in Sichuan at that time) in the south of Chongqing had the Wang Xiang Department of the Ming Army, and the thriving Yang Zhan Department in the east.On the contrary, chieftains such as Shizhu and Lizhou did not pose much threat to him because they were determined to keep their promises.

Fortunately, because the Shun Army did not have the soul of Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin elected Li Zijing, Li Zicheng's third brother, as the leader, and Li Zicheng's empress Gao was in charge. He waited for Li Jin (Li Guo) and Gao Yigong from northern Shaanxi to go south to Sichuan, and did not pursue him immediately Zhang Xianzhong fled to Chongqing.

At the same time, the Duoduo tribe of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties occupied Shaanxi and approached the gate of Hanzhong, and were repelled by the Hezhen tribe of the Shun army and the Sun Shoufa tribe of the Ming army.

There has never been such a chaotic war in western China for 300 years. The people are really displaced and mourned.

After Zhu Cihong got the battle report, he was speechless for a long time.He knew that Sichuan would be in chaos for a long time, and even after the world was pacified, there would be chaos for a while.But I didn't expect that such a mess would happen, especially Li Zicheng would be shot to death by a crossbow arrow.But thinking about it from another angle, this method of death is much more reasonable than the attack on Jiugong Mountain.God is sure that Li Zicheng will not be able to eat summer food, and no one can stop him.

The key now is not to let the rest of the Shun army be scattered.Otherwise, once they pay off, it will undoubtedly be a huge loss.

"Even if they only follow the imperial court's orders in name, we have to continue." Zhu Cihong said to You Shiwei.

You Shiwei echoed: "If a piece of imperial edict can subdue the remnants of Chuangni, it will naturally be a profitable business."

If Chuangni can surrender, the court will look much better.After all, this gang of thieves rushed into Beijing. It would not only cost a lot to wipe them out, but if they were forced to commit crimes again, the country's economy would suffer even more serious damage.

"It's not just an imperial edict." Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "As long as they are sincerely willing to surrender, I can also place them in the garrison, verify the number of soldiers, and pay them according to their hair."

You Shiwei hesitated for a moment, and reminded: "Your Highness, that's what Er Yang did back then."

Yang He, Yang Sichang and his sons paid equal attention to appeasement and suppression on the issue of the peasant army, but in fact they paid more attention to appeasement.As a result, hundreds of thousands of national funds were spent, and the rebellious army rebelled, which eventually led to the country's corruption.

"Of course there are conditions." Zhu Cilang smiled and took out a copy of the "Strategy of Encouragement" drawn up overnight by the attendants.

The reason why this strategy is not handed over to the General Staff is that these soldiers are too inclined to be physically eliminated.The attendant room is relatively gentle, and there are quite a few people belonging to the scholar class, so what they present can at least be acceptable to the public opinion and the scholars emotionally.

According to the details in "Fang Lue", as long as the generals of the Shunjun who accept the edict are all regarded as uprisings, not only are their previous crimes pardoned, but they can also be rewarded for their merits.However, if you want to claim credit, you must have military exploits after June 18th of Chongzhen, such as the head of the Manchu Zhenyi, or the recovery of prefectures and county roads from the Manchu Qing sphere of influence.

For rebel generals who are unwilling to join the army, they can be allowed to leave the army with their guards. Those above the false count will be given at least [-] acres of land to house no more than [-] followers; They were sent to North Korea to contain the rear of the Qing Dynasty. After Liaodong was liberated, the people were given [-] acres of land, and each noble was given an additional [-] acres of land, and other military merits were calculated separately.

"For Li Zicheng, the imperial court can allow his relatives to be buried." Zhu Cihong said: "Is this enough preferential treatment?"

You Shiwei nodded, and immediately asked: "Who do you think is better to send, Your Highness?"

"Cihou and Mianhou are both good candidates." Zhu Cihong said: "Or simply send one to Sichuan to find Liu Zongmin, and the other to Gansu to find Li Guo and Gao Yigong. As long as the war can be quelled as soon as possible, the vitality of the Ming Dynasty will be improved." You can also save an extra point."
