Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 427

As soon as I left after Ning Wan, Li Zicheng's army set off. The so-called stationing troops at Tongguan was just a bluff for Liu Fangliang's 5 troops.

Li Zicheng sent General Quan Liu Zongmin. This is the second person in the Dashun Group. In terms of power and influence, he is second only to Li Zicheng. For more than ten years, he followed Li Zicheng to fight in the north and south. , was named General Quan, and later named Ruhou, who restrained civil officials.

But it would be wrong to simply think that Li Zicheng is the boss and Liu Zongmin is the second child based on this.Don't look at Li Zicheng as the boss and now the emperor, but Liu Zongmin sometimes doesn't listen to him, and this King Li Chuang stares blankly.

Speaking of this, it is necessary to say that Li Zicheng's army discipline is bad. From the root cause, Li Zicheng in history should have had bad luck with his army discipline. This is the flaw of his peasant military belt.

Li Zicheng had several ups and downs, but he didn't take drastic measures to rectify military discipline, which was doomed to end in failure.

As we all know, Li Zicheng is an outstanding peasant leader. It is not an exaggeration to call him a statesman and military strategist. His subordinates are lenient and benevolent, and they can be said to love the people like sons to the common people, and they are very strict in running the army.

But his Chuangzi banner was not spontaneous, but was taken over from King Gao Chuang (Gao Yingxiang). Another kind!With a wave of arms, the responders gathered, and he was the Chuang Wang who inherited it.

The generals under his command are a mixed bag, and many of them did things like thieves, burning, killing, looting, raping prostitutes, forming cliques, intrigues, and even cuckolding their leaders. Gao Jie, Xing Shi, Li Chengdong, etc. are living examples.

You also have some generals who know that he does not observe military discipline, but because of his bravery and outstanding military exploits, Li Zicheng turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, and did not dare to punish him severely. Had to live with it.

For example, Liu Zongmin and Hao Yaoqi are typical representatives. They did not obey the orders of King Li Chuang, sometimes to an unimaginable degree. The order is in good order, the capital is stable, the people live and work in peace, and the stores are still open, but Liu Zongmin quickly takes the lead in committing crimes, first robbing Wu Sangui's concubine Chen Yuanyuan, and then wantonly robbing and extorting wages, which caused panic and lost the hearts of the people.

If Liu Zongmin took the lead in strictly observing military discipline, and did not occupy Chen Yuanyuan and annoy Wu Sangui, the history of the late Ming Dynasty would definitely have to be rewritten.

Wu Sangui refused to surrender to the Dashun Army. Li Zicheng sent Liu Zongmin to attack him. Liu Zongmin blatantly contradicted him and said, "Everyone is a thief. Why do you let me go to the front line to work for your life in the capital?"Li Zicheng had no choice but to march in person.

In history, Liu Zongmin is probably the only one who can contradict the emperor like this!
There is also Hao Yaoqi, who is also a typical character who is not good at military discipline. He steals chickens and dogs, is addicted to alcohol, and robs people from time to time. What's more, in the middle, he once pulled his team away from Li Zicheng. Another hill.

Even if such an emperor is firmly established in Beijing, with such generals and ministers, it will not last long in the future.

Therefore, it is said that Li Zicheng was unlucky in the end that his military discipline hit the nail on the head.

Speaking of which is a bit far away, the book returns to the main text.

In the Battle of Piece of Stone, Liu Zongmin was wounded by an arrow, and now he has recovered. He led an army of [-] troops, and was ordered by Li Zicheng to come out of Yulin to kill Shuozhou.

Although Liu Zongmin has a fatal weakness, but he was born as a blacksmith, he is powerful, bold and brave, and he is not afraid of death. In the most difficult time, he only led [-] cavalry to break through, and Liu Zongmin was one of them. Li Zicheng made a comeback. He killed two wives to follow him, forged weapons for Li Zicheng, broke Luoyang, attacked Kaifeng, and took the capital. Liu Zongmin undoubtedly contributed the most.

After more than ten years of hard training with Li Zicheng, a pair of sun and moon swords has become superb, and it is easy to take the enemy's head in the army of ten thousand horses. Later generations named him one of the most brave generals of Li Zicheng's group.

Therefore, when the general of the Qing army in Shuozhou heard that Liu Zongmin was coming, he was so frightened that he fled without fighting.

After Liu Zongmin took down Lizhou without bloodshed, he went straight to Datong Mansion to kill him.

The urgent documents flew into the capital of the Qing court, the regent Dorgon, and Ning Wan, who had just returned from the peace talks in Xi'an, was so shocked that I almost fell down.

This is terrible!

Zhu Yousong's [-] soldiers are in the south, and Liu Zongmin's [-] rebels are coming to attack his Datong Mansion from the west. No one in the capital has rescued him. How can he send soldiers to Datong Mansion to support him? This is undoubtedly worse !

Dorgon left in a huff, speaking from the heart, what are you talking about?The ink is still wet, the other party has broken the contract, and if there is no peace talks, maybe the intruders will not dare to send troops. Going to the peace talks will undoubtedly expose his weakness and give the thieves an opportunity!

If it weren't for Fan Wencheng's lessons and the current critical situation in the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon would definitely blame me and punish him.

Ning Wan, I am stupid!
He cursed Li Zicheng and Fan Wencheng, you tore up the agreement before the ink was dry on the peace talks, if you don't agree and don't sign the contract, okay?If you play with me like this, Lao Ning, you might as well kill me!

However, Ning Wanwo is Ning Wanwo after all, and soon he accepted this fact, calmed down, thought carefully, and came to see Dorgon again.

Dorgon's face sank like water, and Ning Wan and I knelt for a long time, and there was no more enthusiasm to stop him from saluting and serve him tea and water.

Ning Wan, I knew that I was a slave after all, so I knelt without complaint, waiting for my master's reprimand.

"Who is kneeling?" For a long time, Dorgon said coldly, asking knowingly, this is called putting on a show.

"The humble job beats me." Ning Wan I knelt down and answered carefully.

"Why did you see this king?"

"Humble post congratulates the prince..."

Before Ning finished my words, Dorgon slapped the table with his palm, and the cups and bowls on the table were bouncing with a slap, "Ning finished me, you are guilty!"

"The crime of humble duty deserves death, but from the humble position's point of view, it may not be a bad thing for Li Zicheng to tear up the agreement and send troops to Datong Mansion..." Ning Wan and I paused for a while, seeing that Dorgon's face softened slightly, and continued to speak boldly, " Now, there was the false emperor Zhu Yousong's men and horses here, and Li Zicheng's men and horses came here again. These two families are eyeing each other.

It seems that the capital can't be defended anymore. In this case, we abandoned it and returned to the pass. Beijing is a bone with meat. Let the two of them fight and fight, and our goal will be achieved. Even if it's a little bigger, it's worth it.We temporarily moved the capital back. This is called being able to bend and stretch, to advance and retreat, and this is called a man.More importantly, we watch the tigers fight from the other side, reap the benefits of the fishermen, consume the strength of their two families, and at the same time recuperate, accumulate strength, and keep the green hills. We are not afraid of no firewood. One day, my Qing Dynasty will return to the Central Plains One day, sooner or later, this world will still belong to our Qing Dynasty, please think twice. "
