Luzhou General Soldier Huang Degong, the word Hushan, a native of Liaoning, was born in the army.He joined the army in Liaoyang since he was a child, and was constantly promoted because of his military exploits.During the Chongzhen period, he fought against Zhang Xianzhong, the fifth battalion of Gezuo and other rebels in the south of Zhili, Jiangbei and Henan, and was promoted to the general army of Luzhou.On the eve of the death of the Ming Dynasty, he pacified Liu Chao, a rebel general in Yongcheng, Henan, with Ma Shiying, and was awarded the title of Jingnanbo for meritorious service.Huang Degong is the only loyal minister in the four towns, but he is also arrogant and domineering, Lao Tzu is the first in the world, and he refuses to listen to anyone's words.The last one, Gao Jie, the chief soldier of Yangzhou, is the captain of Li Zicheng's personal guard who stole Li Zicheng's wife and ran to the Ming army He Yilonghe madman.Gao Jie, the word Yingwu, a native of Mizhi, Shaanxi, is a fellow villager of Li Zicheng, and was originally Li Zicheng's right-hand man, nicknamed the Mountain Harrier.Li Zicheng's earliest wife, Han, was originally a prostitute, and Han later had an affair with the county servant Gai Junlu and was killed by Li Zicheng.After Li Zicheng became the leader of the peasant army, he plundered Xing as his stepwife.Xing is not only beautiful, but also "brave and wise, and in charge of military resources".Xing was originally a woman from a good family, but she was snatched into the army by Li Zicheng and forced to be his wife, and she didn't like Li Zicheng, who was blind in one eye.Xing managed the warehouse for Li Zicheng and distributed supplies, and Gao Jie, as the captain of the pro-soldiers, often went to receive supplies.Somehow, after coming and going, the two hooked up together.Soon, the two of them were cooked into rice, and if Li Zicheng knew about it, they wouldn't live.Without doing anything, Gao Jie simply ran away with Xing and a group of relatives, surrendered to He Renlong, and was awarded the position of guerrilla.Gao Jie later participated in the pursuit and suppression of the peasant army many times, and was promoted to the general army.Li Zicheng marched into Beijing, and a large number of Ming Dynasty generals were attached.Gao Jie did not dare to surrender because he had a "hatred of taking his wife" with Li Zicheng, and led his troops to flee south from Shaanxi through Shanxi and Huaiqing in Henan, and later attached himself to Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang.It is not difficult to see that these four commanders are actually the important ministers who lead the commanders, with different backgrounds and resumes, and they are all masters who are not subject to anyone, and they all come together to resist the Qing army.But the one who commanded them was Master Shi Kefa who was polite and couldn't even say a word.In April 1645, Duoduo led an army of 150,000 Manchu and Han people from Shandong, Henan, and Hubei, respectively, south to east, along the canal, the Yangtze River, and from the east, middle, and west, to attack the Nanming regime.Liu Liangzuo, the general soldier of Sizhou, was the first to surrender, and Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Huai'an, was not far behind and surrendered without a fight, so that the number of soldiers of the Qing army increased to an astonishing 400,000 in an instant.On May 13, the Qing army approached the city of Yangzhou.The superintendent scholar who sat in Yangzhou, Shi Kefa's Shi Ge Department, faced the attack of the Qing army and his original subordinates, and the former Nanming army that had now surrendered to the Qing army, he was at a loss, and he only knew that he was desperately urging reinforcements from all over the country, but who was willing to listen to him, and finally he could only die in Yangzhou.This Shi Cabinet is indeed a loyal minister of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and he will not surrender until death.But he was just a loyal servant who was not afraid of death.As the saying goes, current events make people.Shi Kefa was besieged in Yangzhou by hundreds of thousands of Qing troops, with no way to escape, and was captured and died unyieldingly, falling into a heroic reputation.This fate, for him, should be a well-deserved death, quite good.As long as this Shi Pavilion can't die, it is estimated that the reputation he left behind will not be much better than Ma Shiying.When Dolgon entered the customs, Shi Kefa served as the secretary of the military department of the cabinet left in Nanjing.According to the Ming Dynasty and the Beijing system, after Zhu Yousong ascended the throne in Nanjing, Shi Kefa was appointed as the first and auxiliary minister.But it was Ma Shiying and the four general soldiers of Jiangbei who put Zhu Yousong on the throne of the emperor.After Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong came to power, it was reasonable to favor Ma Shiying.In the later party struggle, it is not surprising that Shi Kefa was squeezed out of Jiangbei as the superintendent.The key is whether this Shi Pavilion has the talent to supervise the teacher, even if it is like Yuan Chonghuan's supervisor.The Qing army defeated Li Zicheng and occupied Beijing, and Shi Inspector applauded and high-fived, and since then he has decided that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is the savior of the Ming Dynasty."
Borrowing Pingkou", that is, borrowing Qing soldiers to exterminate Li Zicheng, can be described as "borrowing a knife to kill people".This Scofa Cabinet is the initiator, supporter and executor of this policy.He repeatedly urged Zhu Yousong to send envoys to contact the Manchus, and even asked the envoys to bribe the Manchus with heavy sums of money to discuss the joint elimination of the Liukou.As everyone knows, at that time, someone who understood reminded Shi Kefa that the Northern Song Dynasty united with Dajin to destroy Liao, but the Liao was destroyed, and the Northern Song Dynasty was finished.When he arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty, he still didn't have a long memory, and he united with Mongolia to destroy Jin, and the result is needless to say, the Great Song Dynasty disappeared from then on, and half of the country was gone.This time, we will unite with the Manchu Qing Dynasty to destroy Dashun, will we repeat the mistakes of the Great Song Dynasty At that time, I didn't know what this Shi Daren, who had read poetry and books, thought, and was indifferent to this reminder.It was Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying and their ilk who carried out the stupid policy of "borrowing from the capture of the people" that led to the rapid collapse of the Hongguang regime in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and he could not shirk his responsibility.When the Qing army entered Beijing, even Dolgon himself said: "But if you have an inch, you will have an inch, and if you have a ruler, you will have an ear." ”It can be seen that at that time, Dolgon did not have the idea of occupying all the land in China at all, but he was satisfied with the fact that he could occupy the north of the Yellow River like the Jin State.It was this stupid appeasement policy of Shi Kefa and the Nanming government that made Dolgon see the possibility that he could break the Central Plains forces and seize the whole world.Li Zicheng's Dashun army was not muddy, and the Qing soldiers fought several battles with it, and it was also very tiring.Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other North China regions originally occupied by Dashun were already in the blank area of the leaderless forces, and many of the original Ming Dynasty forces counterattacked and immediately overthrew the Dashun regime.At this time, if Shi Kefa had the heart to restore the country, he would send the Ming army north to subdue the Central Plains.It's a pity that what is waiting in the chaos in North China is not the Ming army, but the well-rested Qing army.In November, the Qing army began to move south, quickly occupying most of Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan.Even at this time, the main force of the Qing army was still concentrated in Tongguan and northern Shanxi, fighting against the Dashun army, North China was still empty, and Shi Kefa still had a good opportunity to take advantage of the weakness.However, this Shi Inspector, as the military governor of Nanming with heavy troops, has been cowering in Yangzhou, waiting to "borrow Pingkou".Sadly:
