From this we can also see that the failure caused by the Qing Dynasty slandering Li Zicheng's corruption in life after he entered Beijing was really a bit mean.

In fact, the real reason for Li Zicheng's defeat was that he was defeated by Wu Sangui and Dorgon's coalition before the pass.

And this defeat comes first and leaving Shuntian Mansion comes later, this is cause and effect.

At least, when Li Zicheng became the emperor, he was surrounded by Empress Gao Guiying and the palace maid Dou Meiyi.

Compared with the selection of hundreds of concubines by Zhu Yousong, the emperor of the Hongguang Dynasty, I am afraid that this is really a big witch?

Therefore, the Dashun Army entered the capital and robbed was a fact, but the target was not the people, but the nobles. It was precisely because these people surrendered to the Qing Dynasty that the literati of the surrendered Qing Dynasty turned blackmailed Li Zicheng.

Gao Guiying is indeed the queen.

After Li Zicheng entered the capital, he was conferred the title of queen.

As for the first-rank wife of Zhenyi, it was conferred by the Longwu Dynasty. The Longwu Dynasty controlled Hunan at that time. In order to join forces with the rebel army to fight against the Qing Dynasty and attack Hubei, Gao Guiying was conferred as the first-rank wife of Zhenyi, and the remnants of the Dashun Army left in Hunan were adapted into the "Zhongzhen Camp".

Gao Guiying finally managed part of Li Zicheng's family business after Li Zicheng's death, which was a great deal.

However, in the subsequent battle to attack Hubei, He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang at the time of Longwu Dynasty, suffered a tragic failure. More than half of the more than 300,000 people were lost and they survived around Wuchang Prefecture.

In this battle, the Longwu Dynasty military supervisor Du Yinxi fell from his horse and broke his arm and fled to Changde.

However, the former Dashunci Marquis Tian Jianxiu, Yi Hou Zhang Nai, Wuyang Bo Li You, Taiping Bo Wu Ruyi led more than 5,000 remaining troops to surrender to the Qing army at Yilingkou, and was later killed.

Li Zicheng's younger brother Li Zi and his soldiers were captured and were also ordered to kill them all by Dorgon.

Since then, the Zhongzhen Camp has been in a state of decline, and the number of people has dropped sharply to more than 100,000.

The so-called loyalty cannot be blasphemed. Once betrayed, it will be difficult to gain the trust of others.

After Li Zicheng's death, the remnants of the Dashun Army chose to join forces with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty under the national justice. Although they received the support of Emperor Longwu and some enlightened ministers, more ministers did not trust the peasant army. The adapted loyalty camp did not get trust and support. Even if they fought tenaciously, this loyalty would have been disappointed in the end and failed to play the role they should have.

At this time, Gao Guiying was gathering a group of generals from the loyal camp to discuss countermeasures.

Of course, it was not just the discussion that came from the invitation of the Prince of Kuaiji, the Prince of Yixing Dynasty in the east, General Wu Zheng, the secret envoy.

On the contrary, the biggest problem they discussed was the financial difficulties and the rebellion of the people in Huguang.

The Dashun Army had no good plan since the day of its initiation, so there was no need to talk about establishing a base and governing internal affairs.

They only adopted one strategy, using war to support war, "The King of Rebellion will not pay food when he comes."

What does the army of the King of Rebellion eat?

Grab it!

Although the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was empty and could not even pay military salaries, there were too many wealthy people everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, with a strong family and a lot of money that could only be buried in the ground.

So, they robbed and blackmailed all the way, and the blackmailed people lost all their hearts, and then they became more and more powerful in the capital, so they were defeated and died!

Li Zicheng is a generous person, and this evaluation is by no means an exaggeration.

But he was unable to integrate the civilian army from all over the country, recruit wise men, and formulate a proper internal strategy.

When the civilian army sang all the way and was invincible, it was a good idea, but once a big defeat was defeated, it would be like an avalanche and would flow thousands of miles away.

If you have a headache, you will treat your head, and if you have a foot pain, how can you not perish?

The most difficult time for the Loyal Camp is already at its most difficult time.

The battle of attacking Hubei was defeated, and the army's troops were reduced sharply. The army's 300,000 to 400,000 are now less than 120,000. Of the number of reduced personnel, 50% of them were "stopped" and ran away.

People's hearts are dispersed and the team is difficult to lead.

Coupled with the rebellion among the people from Huguang, Gao Guiying and others were already in a state of great anxiety.

Kill?

It's impossible to kill.

This is not the time when Li Zicheng was alive, "the King of Chuang will not pay food when he comes."

At that time, the army was strong and the momentum was strong. Killing one person could shock ten thousand people.

Now, killing one person will cause riots among hundreds and thousands.

Besides, if we continue to kill, Huguang, which has already lost its population and has a sharp decline in labor, will probably become a barren land. Who will produce and supply the army's food?

In four years, there were more than 100,000 people in Zhongzhen Camp, like a group of locusts, gnawing all the supplies from Huguang.

What to do next?

So, this meeting was destined to be fruitless.

Who knows what to do with these big and thick men?

Big eyes stared at me, and small eyes stared at me, and each eggplant was wilted like frost-beaten.

Gao Guiying shouted arrogantly, "I raise my head up."

This posture and style are very similar to the heroine of the later drama "Red Light" and are definitely a female company commander.

Unfortunately, Gao Guiying was born in a rampant family and lacked the gentleness and calmness of Ma Xiuying (Zhu Yuanzhang's wife). Ma Xiuying was born in a wealthy family and was adopted by Guo Zixing, the king of Chuyang. She was polite and far-sighted. Gao Guiying's style of being a female militia company commander, even if she wore a phoenix crown and was in a world of pride, she was just a monkey crown.

It is said that behind a successful man, there must be a great woman.

Li Shimin had a eldest grandson Wugui, and Zhu Yuanzhang had a Ma Xiuying.

Unfortunately, Li Zicheng first had two people who turned his back, and then one of them had a second marriage that didn't give birth to a man and a woman.

If you don’t even have a Chengsi, how can you establish a country?

In this era, people talk about inheritance. How can the emperor pass on it?

How could Li Zicheng be invincible?

Gao Guiying's "pride" made the seven-foot men feel a little more energetic.

Li Guo (Li Jin, the nephew of Li Zicheng, changed his name to Li Guo after adoption) said: "Why don't you go west to join Yongli?"

Gao Yigong shook his head and said, "No, Hao Yaoqi (Hao Yongzhong), Li Laixiang, Wang Guangxing had already gone west three years ago. Now he has joined the Yongli Dynasty, but he has also been discriminated against by the Yongli Dynasty. At this time, I will not say whether they accept it or not. Even if they accept it, they may be under someone's roof and are discriminated against it."

Li Guo was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "How about his x-reduction liquidation!"

Gao Yigong said angrily: "After four years of fighting, both sides have become deadly enemies. At this time, when surrendering, people kill me for fish, wouldn't I beg for death? Besides, the late emperor (Li Zicheng) would never surrender to the Qing Dynasty. As the Chengsi of the late emperor, how dare you surrender?"

Li Guo was depressed and stared at Gao Yigong and said angrily: "This is not true, that is not true... What do you think?"

Gao Yigong glanced at his sister Gao Guiying and said, "Maybe we can ask Yi Xingchao for help."
