Chapter 140: Li Zicheng continued


Li Zicheng absconded to Gansu with Li Guo, and became a small soldier under Yang Zongbing, absconding criminals have used pseudonyms since ancient times, because they dare not show their real names because they are thieves, Li Hongji is no exception, he used the pseudonym Li Zicheng in order to cover people's eyes and ears and escape the blow.Maybe he has guilt in his heart, or maybe he is ashamed, after all, Li Zicheng 1.

Losing his public office and causing losses to the country is a crime of dereliction of duty.2.

Borrowing money and not repaying it, maliciously defrauding others of their property, this is untrustworthy, untrustworthy, for the purpose of possession, and is a crime of fraud.3.

His wife Han Jin'er was virtuous and housekeeper but was brutally hacked to death by Li Zicheng with a knife, Li Zicheng hacked his wife to death on trumped-up charges and just by saying from others, the cruelty of his methods is outrageous, and his heart is not as despicable as pigs and dogs, which is a perverted and deliberate murder.4.

In the case of not returning the money to the creditor, in order to steal the money and kill the creditor, its sinister intentions, can not be written with the word people, its heart is comparable to a snake and scorpion, this is a typical attempt to kill Li Zicheng quickly from a small soldier to the general, in the same year in Yuzhong County, because two months did not get the military sound, Li Zicheng asked his superior leaders for money, the general Wang Kingdom explained to Li Zicheng: "Now the country is in trouble, Shaanxi has suffered a great drought, and the Manchu and Qing Eight Banners are eyeing each other, and the emperor really can't get the money for a while.

Please also ask Li to always think more about the country and the hungry people in Shaanxi, and our army will temporarily help the people affected by the disaster in Shaanxi," Li Zicheng was so angry when he heard this: "Lao Tzu still wants to drink, the hungry people in Shaanxi are only my bird business?"

Whoever dares to touch Lao Tzu's money, Lao Tzu will take his life," Before he finished speaking, his hand raised his sword and fell, and the head of the kingdom rolled to the ground.Li Zicheng felt that he was not satisfied, so he ran to the county office again and cut off the head of the county order, and that's it.Li Zicheng launched a mutiny, under the guise that the hungry people in Shaanxi had no food, and claimed to be a peasant uprising, but in fact, Li Zicheng was an out-and-out murderer, soldier oil, this is not a peasant uprising, this is a reactionary rebellion based on his own selfish desires, before Li Zicheng's rebellion, he was already burdened with four lives, Li Zicheng is actually a murderous demon.But I have to admire that he is indeed very smart, but the facts are the facts, the four unjustly killed people, no one redressed them, and the four poor unjust ghosts have achieved the prestige of a murderous demon.

& In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng was defeated in the ancient plank road of the Hanjiang River Gorge in Shiquan, Shaanxi, and surrendered by fraud, and the Ming Dynasty pacification officer kindly sent Li Zicheng back to his hometown, and Li Zicheng killed the Ming Dynasty pacification officer who sent him halfway.Rebel again.In 1635, in the eighth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng captured Fengyang and excavated Chongzhen's ancestral tomb.The Ming Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum was not touched when it entered the pass, and no matter how ferocious the Japanese army invaded China, it did not blow up the Mausoleum of Sun Yat-sen, the father of the nation.I don't know what Li Zicheng's head thinks, is his brain in water?

Li Zicheng burned down the temple "Huangjue Temple" because more than 200 years ago, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty had become a monk here.A fire left the monks homeless and without rice to cook.Li Zicheng also killed more than 60 eunuchs, and Li Zicheng led his subordinates to kill local tyrants and gentry to open a warehouse and release grain.The popularity exploded, and overnight, Li Zicheng's military horses developed to tens of thousands, and on the 20th, he conquered Luoyang and killed Wanli's third son, King Fu.Li Zicheng failed to attack Kaifeng three times, and ordered the Yellow River dam to flood Kaifeng, and only more than 20,000 of the 370,000 people in Kaifeng City survived, and 350,000 siblings died, which is comparable to a Nanjing Massacre.Another year has passed, history has quietly turned a page, and I have traveled to this tearful end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, Manchu Eight Banners, can you still be rampant?

Perhaps because of my arrival, history also changed, and when I was jubilating the whole army for the capture of Annam, Li Zicheng suddenly attacked Beijing.On April 7, Li Zicheng conquered Wuning Pass and ordered the slaughter of the city, with 100,000 dead, and the poor Wuning General Soldier's family of more than 100 people were not spared, and all were killed.On March 15 and April 21, the peasant army arrived at Juyong Pass, and the eunuch Du Zhizhi and the general soldier Tang Tong surrendered without a fight.On 16 March, Li Zicheng's troops crossed Changping and arrived at the Shahe River.On the 17th, he entered Gaobeidian and Xizhimen, bombarded the city with cannons, and attacked Pingzemen, Changyi Gate, and Xizhimen at noon.In the middle of the night on 17 March, Cao Huachun, the eunuch guarding the city, took the lead in opening the Guangning Gate on the west side of the outer city, and the peasant army entered the southern suburbs of the present-day Fuxing Gate.On March 18, Li Zicheng sent Du Xun, a eunuch who had surrendered in Changping, into the city to negotiate secretly with Emperor Chongzhen.Li Zicheng's conditions were: "Break into the people and horses, negotiate to divide the king in the northwest and reward the army with one million, retreat to Henan and be feuded, and are willing to curb the crowd in the imperial court, especially to help suppress the Liao domain with strong soldiers."

But they do not give edicts or pilgrimages. ”Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself, "You are a capricious and untrustworthy thief, why should you negotiate with me?"

”Chongzhen looked down on Li Zicheng in his heart, and since then the negotiations between the two sides have broken down.In the early morning of March 19, Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the military department, took the initiative to open the Zhengyang Gate to welcome Liu Zongmin's troops, and at noon, Li Zicheng was guided by the eunuch Wang Dehua to enter from the Desheng Gate and enter the inner hall through the Chengtian Gate.At this time, Chongzhen took the eunuch Wang Chengen to the coal mountain to lookout, and returned to the Qianqing Palace, the ministers had all fled, and finally Chongzhen went to Jingshan to hang himself.The thieves broke through the capital, the soldiers were less than 20,000, and the children were half of them, and the Beijing division was not solid, and the thieves could attack it.Li Zicheng stayed in the Forbidden City and made the palace maid Dou Meiyi his concubine.At the beginning of the Dashun army's entry into Beijing, there were less than 20,000 soldiers & People say that Li Zicheng dug up 20 million taels of silver in the imperial palace, which is simply nonsense, and from 1390 to 1486, the total silver production in Chinese mainland was only about 30 million taels.After Li Zicheng entered the palace, he searched out 20 million taels of silver from the palace and was defeated.From the 27th, the peasant army began to torture and plunder Ming officials, raid homes everywhere, and stipulate the amount of salary; 100,000 in the middle hall, 70,000 or 530,000 brocade clothes in the Jingtang of the ministry, 530,000 in the Taoist department, 321,000 in Hanlin, and thousands of subordinates, Liu Zongmin made 5,000 clamping sticks, the wood is all edged, connected with nails, and all the bones are broken in order to clamp people. ”The terrifying atmosphere in the city gradually became solemn, the people were panicked, all those who tortured hundreds of officials, about 10,000 people with family assets, forced 20,000 or 30,000, the number was slightly dissatisfied, and then strictly compared, sandwiched and burned, prepared for extremely tragic poison, and never stopped, pulling Wei Zaode, Fang Yuegong, Qiu Yu, Chen Yan, Li Yuzhi, etc., Xun Qi Ran Xingrang, Zhang Guoji, Xu Yunzhen, Zhang Shize and other 800 people to recover stolen goods and help salaries, and there were more than 1,600 dead.Li Zicheng's subordinates looted, the generals were arrogant, and the killings were in vain, and most of the soldiers plundered the people's property.The Dashun army set up officials in the occupied areas, the first was to pursue salaries, and in Chenggu County, thieves demanded wages and burned them; In Fenyang, the search includes rich rooms, truss clamp rates & In Jiangzhou, the scholars and doctors were brutally tortured to death; In Xuanhua, General Quan levied the surname of the gentry Ben, ran through the five woods, prepared extremely miserable and vicious, and asked for money.On April 14, a notice appeared on West Chang'an Street: "The days of the Ming Dynasty are not over, people think of loyalty, on the 13th, Li Zicheng led more than 100,000 elite troops of Dashun to Shanhaiguan to conquer Wu Sangui, and those who stayed in Beijing were Liu Liang and Li Yu.To be continued.
