Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 365
Kong Youde was desperate and committed suicide with the sword, and this big traitor ended his sinful life in this way.

He committed suicide in defeat, and Kong Youde also ended up in the same way in history.

However, that was in Guilin, not Henan; that was 1652, not the current 1645; that was Li Dingguo's destruction of Guilin, not Zhu Yousong's men who took over Henan.

The reason for this difference is, of course, that Zhu Yousong's time travel shortened his lifespan by seven years. This evil-doing scum of the nation got what he deserved in advance.

In history, when Li Dingguo broke Guilin, Kong Youde was desperate, killed his concubine, and set himself on fire.It is said that this scum of the ages repented before he died, and warned his son: "If you have to avoid it, you will become a novice monk. Don't imitate your father's life as a thief, and you will end up like today."

When a person is about to die, his words are also kind.He also knew that he had done a lot of evil in his life and stooped to be a thief, so he warned his descendants when he was dying.It's a pity that Li Dingguo did not let Kong Youde's son go. In history, Kong Youde's son was also captured and killed by Li Dingguo.

Therefore, some people believe that Kong Youde's heart was already toward goodness when he was dying.

But Kong Youde is not the same as Li Chengdong. At most, Kong Youde only had kindness, but he did not have any kindness until his death.Although Li Chengdong is also a heinous traitor, he dyed his top Dai Hualing red by betraying his ancestors and massacring Han compatriots.

But he is a late bloomer of righteousness, no matter whether it is for selfish reasons or jealousy with Tong Yangjia, in the end he opposed the Qing Dynasty and joined the Ming Dynasty. He also killed the traitor Tong Yangjia.

Kong Youde is no match for Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui was so angry that he became a concubine. Some people said that he was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Later, he also rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and regained the Ming Dynasty. .

Compared with them, Kong Youde can only be compared with them. From the day of the rebellion to the Qing Dynasty until his death, he was an outright traitor. In this regard, he is the same as Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi, and may become a ""in the eyes of some experts and scholars"" Complying with the trend of the dynasty and promoting the development of history has great positive and progressive significance for national integration." This may also be the only value of traitors.

Kong Youde committed suicide with a horizontal sword, and the dead body fell off the horse.Zheng Hongkui ordered someone to cut off Kong Youde's head and put it away.

The three generals led the soldiers of the Ming army to fight in the camp of the Qing army until dawn, and nearly [-] Qing troops in the camp were wiped out.

Then, according to Zhu Yousong's will, Huaiqing's Ming army and Luoyang's Ming army advanced eastward together.

In the morning of this day, Lu Jiude, who was the supervisor of the Kaifeng Mansion, received Zhu Yousong's order and immediately ordered Huang Degong's men to attack Wei Hui. He and Yuan Shu crossed the Bian River and rushed towards Zhengzhou.

Wei Hui has [-] Qing troops, and He Jinsheng, the commander-in-chief, is the chief general here. They were ordered by Kong Youde to cover the retreat of the main force of Mandahai here. Unable to stop, He Jinsheng had no choice but to abandon the city and retreat.

On the way, he got the news that Man Dahai and Kong Youde were defeated and the entire army was wiped out. He Jinsheng was shocked and became a bereaved dog. At this time, Huaiqing's Ming army came from the west, and he felt that the end was coming. He will go south to Zhengzhou and join forces with the Qing army in Zhengzhou.

Now guarding Zhengzhou is the general Shi Tingzhu, who is also a traitor, leading 6000 troops and ordered to cut off the heir.The arrival of He Jinsheng allowed him to increase his strength by several thousand, but he also felt that the end was coming, because the Ming armies from all walks of life soon arrived, with Zheng Longfang and Yuan Shu's troops to the east and south, and Huang Chuangzi's army to the north , to the west are the troops of Zheng Hongkui and Liu Zhaoji.

The two generals and the first discussed and felt that Zhengzhou would definitely not be able to hold it, so they suddenly led the crowd to break out of the siege at midnight one night, and opened the south city to break out of the mountainous area in the southwest direction.

A fight was really not bad, the second general really broke out of the siege, and the Ming army who got rid of the pursuit went to the mountain forest to check, and there were 300 people around him who were injured. king.

Fearing that the Ming army would search the mountain, they occupied a small hill and lingered.

At this time, someone came to report, saying that someone had come to vote.

The two generals at the end of the road were startled, who is he who is so short-sighted, the defeated generals are reduced to this point, there are today's but not tomorrow's, and there are still people to vote for?
When the soldiers brought this person, he was a man dressed as an outsider, about fifty years old, full of heaven and round in the ground, saluting the second general, "I have seen the two generals."

The second general was taken aback, and hurriedly got up to return the salute, "Sir, there is no need to be too polite, what advice do you have?"

This person is Hou Xun. It is mentioned that he was also a famous figure in the government and the public in the late Ming Dynasty. He was born in Suiyang (now Shangqiu, Henan). Minister of the Ministry of War, the immediate boss of the great warlord Wuchang Hou Zuo Liangyu, and the biological father of Hou Fangyu, one of the four princes in the late Ming Dynasty.The father and son had several ups and downs in their lives, and their reputation is illustrious. Both of these two generals were once Ming officials, how could they not know?At this time, there was a feeling of grabbing a life-saving straw, so the two generals treated each other with courtesy.

Hou Xun really came to join them. The Donglin Party existed in name only. Hou Fangyu confronted Zhu Yousong and was imprisoned. Hou Xun, who was at home, did not dare to stay at home. You Song would definitely not spare him, so he sold his money and went into exile in the mountains.

When the Tartars were defeated, Shi Tingzhu and He Jinsheng, two bereaved dogs, also hid in this mountain for refuge, so they came to vote.

Seeing that Hou Xun sincerely voted, the second general was happy, and swearing to Hou Xun, patted his chest, that he was a traitor on both of them, but what should we do now, the Ming army came to search the mountains, and they would all be finished, so what's the matter? Future at all?

Hou Xun smiled, of course there is no future to be king of the mountain with these two or 300 people, and there is no need to rush back to Beizhili now, Zhu Yousong, fool the king!It's not just him, these royal families of the Ming Dynasty are all stupid and incompetent people. Don't look at them winning the battle now, the Ming Dynasty is exhausted, and sooner or later the world will belong to the Tartars.

There is a saying that the heroes see the same thing, but the bears see the same thing.Shi Tingzhu and He Jinsheng nodded again and again, as if they had met each other, and asked what to do now, this is the most important thing.

Hou Xun said: "The two generals, after the Ming royal family, although they are unbearable, they are not useless. At least they have some uses, and that is to dig graves for the Ming Dynasty!"

The second general was stunned and didn't understand, Hou Xun continued: "In addition to the false emperor Zhu Yousong, there are Lu King Zhu Yihai, Tang King Zhu Yujian, and King Gui, King Lu, etc. These royal families are all in the south now. , and all of them adopt retainers and raise government soldiers. They have certain strength. We should disguise ourselves as ordinary people and leave the place of right and wrong. After lobbying these royal families, we will rebel against Zhu Yousong, disrupt the Ming Dynasty, and let the Qing emperor take advantage of the fisherman. The end of the emperor is not far away."

The second general Mao Sai was enlightened, but he was still worried. The puppet emperor Zhu Yousong was so powerful that even the 20 million troops of the Qing Tartars were no match.

Hou Xun saw it, "Second General, don't worry, although these kings are unbearable, don't forget that there is still a big man in Fujian, Zheng Zhilong. Now that Chongzhen is gone, Jiaolong's cloud and rain are definitely not things in the pond. It is useless for the faint king to rely on Zheng Hongkui to capture Zheng Zhilong. With the reputation of the kings of the Zhu family's royal family and the strength of the Zheng family's army, the faint king Zhu Yousong is waiting Bad luck!"

"Gao, listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books." Shi Tingzhu and He Jinsheng applauded and decided to serve the country with a curve (Great Qing Dynasty)
A few days later, the Ming army searched the mountain, Shi Tingzhu and He Jinsheng disbanded the cottage, disguised as ordinary people and Hou Xun really slipped through the net.
