This chapter mainly introduces the loyal martyr Li Chengdong's righteous son Li Yuanyin, although there is a doubt about making up the number, but this person's bones must be confessed, but not ordered.
The seven people who expressed their willingness to come to Guangzhou to participate in the military conference and discuss the affairs of the king were Li Guangen, Qingfengbo, who was engaged in construction activities in the northwest of Zhaoqing, Guo Dengdi, Marquis of Weiyuan, who was active in the area of Shendianwei in Gaozhou, Deng Yao, a general of Jingxiang who was active in Hailing Island, Wang Xing, a general of Huben who was in the Taishan area, and Zhou Tengfeng, Zhou Jintang, Bo of Zhangping, and Shi Shangyi of Haibei Province.
Before the Eastern Expedition, Zhou Shi asked the Military Intelligence Department to collect the situation of the Ming army in each department, and learned from Hu Deyu, who was familiar with the situation in Guangdong, so that he could roughly understand the distribution of the Ming army in Guangdong and the details of the generals.
Lee Kwang-eun was originally a subordinate of Dongxun Lee Sung-dong's general Baofeng Boluo Chengyao.
After the Battle of Meiling, Cheng Dong's general Yan Keyi died of illness in Nanxiong, and Du Yonghe, the governor of Liangguang who opened his own seal, discussed with Cheng Dong's son Nanyang Bo Li Yuanyin to send Luo Chengyao to replace Yan Keyi to resist the Qing army.
Unexpectedly, Luo Chengyao was reluctant to go, and complained and said: "You are waiting for peace to enjoy it, I am alone and I am evil, and the prince Li Chengdong has repeatedly come out, but he has not succeeded, and now I will go, what can I do?"
Under Du Yonghe's repeated persuasion and heavy bribes, Luo Chengyao reluctantly went to his post, and he was stationed in Shaozhou, only sending the Chinese army Jiang Qilong and Li Guangen and others to guard Nanxiong.
After Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao led the main force of the Qing army to Guangdong, they sent people to spy on the garrison of the Ming army in Guangdong, and spread the news that the Qing army under their headquarters would celebrate the New Year in Nan'an Mansion and recuperate.
As a result, the Ming army believed it to be true and slacked off, and the Qing army became unprepared for the Ming army, crossed Meiling into Guangdong Province and went straight to Nanxiong.
Before the Qing army attacked the city, they first sent dozens of spies to lurk in the city, ordered them to set fire to the drum tower on Chinese New Year's Eve, and then opened the civilized gate while the Ming army was panicking to fight the fire, and the main force of the Qing army immediately rushed into the city.
Yang Jie, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and other generals rushed to the battle and were defeated by the Qing army, more than ten generals such as Yang Jie and deputy general Xiao Qi were killed, and the general soldier Dong Yuanxin was captured alive.
More than 200 cavalry soldiers and more than 6,000 infantry of the defending army were killed in battle, and the residents of the city were slaughtered by the Qing army.
After the capture of Nanxiong, Li Qifeng, the governor of Guangdong sent by the Qing court, entered the city to defend it.
On the third day of the first month of the seventh year of Shunzhi, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao led the Qing army from Nanxiong and arrived at Shaozhou on the sixth day of the first month.
Li Guangen risked his life to break through from Nanxiong and picked up a life.
After breaking through, because he was not ashamed of Luo Chengyao, he went to vote for Governor Li Yuanyin.
From time to time, Yang Dafu was recruited by the Yongli court to live in Wuzhou, often plundering boats, killing military envoys and robbing tribute.
Li Yuanyin went up and asked Emperor Yongli to summon Yang Dafu to take the opportunity to kill.
Between the kings and ministers' drinking, Yongli reprimanded Yang Dafu, and Yang Dafu was so angry that he wanted to take advantage of the situation to kidnap Emperor Yongli and surrender to Qing.
Ma Jixiang and the others, who were drinking on the side, lost their voices and ran away, but Li Guangen kicked Yang Dafu on his back and hanged him overboard.
Because of this, he won the trust of Li Yuanyin and was promoted to the general of the Chinese army.
After Luo Chengyao abandoned Shaozhou and fled, he saw that the Qing army occupied Guangzhou, and knew that the situation had passed, so he secretly made an appointment to surrender the Qing army, wanting to make meritorious contributions to the Qing army's capture of Zhaoqing in exchange for a future on the side of the Qing court.
After Li Yuanyin learned of this, he decided to get rid of this traitor, because Li Guangen was Luo Chengyao's old department, and he usually had a good relationship with Luo Chengyao, so Li Guangen came forward to meet Luo Chengyao on a cruise ship to drink.
In the middle of the boat, Li Guangen suddenly flipped Luo Chengyao, who was flickering on the rope bed, to the ground, and killed this traitor with a sharp blade.
When Luo Chengyao's subordinates were shocked, Li Yuanyin came forward to hold the edict of the Son of Heaven, which stabilized everyone.
After Zhaoqing was captured by the Qing army, Li Yuanyin couldn't bear to see the whole province of Guangdong, where his father-in-law had returned anyway, fall again, and was unwilling to retreat into Guangxi controlled by Chen Bangfu, the Duke of Qingguo, and was even more unwilling to surrender to the Qing army against his father-in-law's order, so he asked Yongli for orders and volunteered to go to Gaozhou and Leizhou to gather the remnants of his father-in-law and fight with the Qing army again.
As a result, in the eighth year of Shunzhi, Li Yuanyin was captured by the soldier Wang Shengtang when he was contacting the old department in Qinzhou Fangcheng, and then he was escorted to Guangzhou.
Li Guangen was in Yulin to contact other old departments, and when he heard the news, he stomped his feet and cried.
At that time, Geng Jimao, who had not inherited his father Jingnan Wangjue, persuaded Li Yuanyin to surrender, but Li Yuanyin resolutely refused, and Geng Jimao asked Li Yuanyin to write a letter to recruit Du Yonghe who fled to Qiongzhou to surrender to the Ming army, but Li Yuanyin said righteously: "If it can't be done, it has been humiliated by the country, but it is to defeat people."
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Du Yonghe led his troops to surrender, and Li Yuanyin cried bitterly, asking for death day and night.
Because Li Yuanyin is the son of Li Chengdong, and there are still many old Li Chengdong departments in Guangdong, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Geng Jimao ordered Li Yuanyin to be killed, and Li Chengdong's other adopted son Li Jianjie was killed together.
Before the execution, Li Yuanyin only made one request, that is, to let himself wear Ming Dynasty clothes, and Geng Jimao allowed him.
After Yuan Yin finished dressing, he bowed to the southwest, and then cried and sighed: "Your Majesty is a minister, and your Majesty is not up to Your Majesty" After speaking, Geng Jimao waved his hand impatiently, and the executioner's big knife fell.
At the time of Li Yuanyin's death, the Yongli court was close to disintegration, and it was chaos from top to bottom.
The Qing army occupied Guangzhou and Guilin, and the situation was critical, but there were still some troops in the Nanming Dynasty in the Liangguang region who were guarding the remnants of the territory, and the total strength was far beyond that of the Qing army.
When he fled from Wuzhou to Nanning, he did not make any arrangements to stay in the place at all, and like ordinary people, he only knew that it was important to flee for his life.
In the first month of the following year, Kong Youde sent Ma Ji, a left-wing striker, to take over Wuzhou, and in February ordered the general soldier Ma Jiaolin to guard the place.
Only a few bureaucrats such as Yan Qiheng, a cabinet scholar, Ma Jixiang, and Pang Tianshou, a eunuch, fled with Emperor Yongli.
Due to the disorganization of the retreat, the rebels took the opportunity to plunder, and some officials who were interested in following the imperial court also hesitated.
The imperial court and local officials who had originally gathered in Liangguang had a tendency to fall and scatter.
Except for Zhu Minru, the general of Zhenxi, who died in a fight with the Qing army in Zhaoping County, and was committed suicide by throwing himself into the water by the dismissed courtier, some of the other officials who did not accompany him were surrendered, some went into the mountains, and some shaved their hair and became monks.
The emperor and the court were like this, and the son of the old lord was killed, and the old department of "Dongxun" Li Chengdong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty one after another, but Li Guangen did not surrender, but he was really disappointed in the Yongli court, so he led the remnants of more than 1,000 people to flee to the Kaijian area at the junction of Zhaoqing and Guangxi to persist in resisting the Qing Dynasty, and ignored the orders of the governor of Guangdong and the governor of the four prefectures appointed by the Yongli court. oshow7 t1706231537:
