Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

No.13 video:

Faced with Azige's pursuit, Li Zicheng abandoned the six counties of Xiangyang and attacked Nanming with the whole army.

When the army marched to Jiugong Mountain in Hubei,

Li Zicheng ordered the army to create a meal, and he took [-] cavalry for more than ten miles to inspect the terrain on the mountain.

This is Li Zicheng's old habit.

He likes to go to the front line to scout the terrain himself with only a few followers.

The advantage of doing this is that he can intuitively see the frontline situation, but there are also disadvantages, that is, accidents are prone to occur.

Not only Li Zicheng, but later Zhang Xianzhong also went to the front line and was sniped to death by several archers of the Eight Banners Army.

There is a village on Jiugong Mountain, and the mountain people in it suffer from bandits.

Seeing that Li Zicheng had only such a small number of people, they immediately rushed out of the stockade with hoes and dung forks, and began to besiege Li Zicheng and others.

The mountain people have always been aggressive. Although they don't know how to fight, they are quite skilled in killing wolves and tigers on weekdays.

In addition, they have more than a hundred strong men.

It happened to be raining at the right time, and the ground was slippery, so the cavalry couldn't get up at all.

Facing their siege, twelve of Li Zicheng's cavalry were beaten to death.

Of the six surviving cavalrymen, two rushed back to the camp to rescue soldiers, while the other four were beaten by the mountain people and ran away on their own.

Although Li Zicheng also escaped from the siege of the mountain people, he was the only one left.

Li Zicheng led the horse and walked on the muddy mountain road.

At this moment, he met his destined opponent:
Cheng Jiubo, a mountain dweller.

Seeing that Li Zicheng was wearing gold and silver, Cheng Jiubo saw that everything on his body was very valuable. He wanted to keep these things for himself, so he rushed forward with a hoe in his hands.

Although Li Zicheng is a hero at the end of his life, he is also a veteran general after all.

He knocked off Cheng Jiubo's hoe and pushed Cheng Jiubo to the ground.

He pinched Cheng Jiubo's neck with one hand, and stabbed with the knife with the other.

When Cheng Jiubo tilted his head, Li Zicheng's knife plunged into the muddy mountain road.

Because the thorn was too deep, I couldn't pull it out for a while.

Just as Li Zicheng was pulling out his sword vigorously, Cheng Jiubo's nephew Jin Ergou rushed over.

He picked up the hoe that his uncle dropped on the ground, and hit Li Zicheng on the back of his head.

Pitiful!
A hero who had experienced hundreds of battles and disasters, and almost swept the world, died so easily at the hands of two mountain people.

This may be the so-called fate.

During the period when Li Zicheng led his army across several provinces, no less than one million people must have died under the burning, killing and looting of the rogue bandits.

God also arranged for him to die at the hands of two unruly mountain people.

After Li Zicheng's death, the peasant army took bloody revenge on Jiugong Mountain for dozens of miles, but the mountain people were born and raised here and were very good at absconding.

Although thousands of people died, many people still escaped.

Including Cheng Jiubo, a mountain dweller who was motivated by money.

It's just that his nephew, Jin Ergou, couldn't escape and was chopped into meat by the peasant army.

This ultra-long video inventory is here, and finally the prelude has come to an end.

Next is Li Hao's comments.

[In terms of the fighting ability and strategic vision of the major anti-kings, Li Zicheng is not ranked first.Both Li Mi and Dou Jiande are far stronger than Li Zicheng.

But in terms of its great influence on China, no anti-king can compare with Li Zicheng. 】

[Regrettably, his influence on Huaxia was almost devastating. 】

【It is precisely because Li Zicheng invaded Beijing and forced to kill Emperor Chongzhen that the Eight Banners Army outside the pass entered Shanhaiguan which they had not been able to break through for decades.

In the name of avenging Emperor Chongzhen, Dorgon effortlessly won the support of most opportunistic bureaucrats, and established the Manchu Empire that lasted nearly 300 years.

Since ancient times, there is no one who won the country like the Qing Dynasty! 】

[Looking at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, if Dorgon hadn't issued the order to shave his hair and make clothes easier, there would have been no resistance in the entire Ming Dynasty that lasted for decades.

What is even more regrettable is that tens of millions of people threw their heads and blood, but still failed to keep the clothes and hair accessories left by their ancestors.

Most bloody people were killed, and those who survived became obedient citizens of the Qing Dynasty. 】

[After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, during the three dynasties of Emperor Kangxi and Yongzheng, there were wave after wave of literary inquisitions, killing people and exterminating families at every turn, until they broke all the bones of the literati in the world and turned them into tame slaves. They never dared to write "Qingfeng is illiterate, why bother Randomly flipping through books" and other verses, I no longer dare to talk about state affairs. 】

[The Manchu Dynasty closed the country for 300 years, and was ignorant of the changes in the outside world.It wasn't until the British and barbarians with strong ships and guns dared to drive straight in with a few thousand soldiers and forced the Manchu emperor to sign an alliance under the city that people realized that China had stagnated for more than 200 years and became the sick man of East Asia in the eyes of the world. 】

[And all of this, if you go back to the source, you will really hit Li Zicheng's ass with the board. 】

【Li Zicheng was right to rebel against Daming.It is also correct for the people all over the world to rise up against Daming.Because they were fed up with the exorbitant taxes of the Ming Dynasty.No one has the right to accuse the common people of not wanting to be "an'an hungry".

But Li Zicheng made several strategic mistakes. 】

[If Li Zicheng hadn't been so arrogant after breaking through the city of Beijing, he wouldn't have regarded Wu Sangui, who had only [-] troops, as a mustard disease, but as the ultimate battle to determine the fate of Dashun.

Instead of just leading an army of [-] peasants, the army of hundreds of thousands of peasants who attacked Henan and Hebei gathered together in the capital, and rushed to Shanhaiguan with the momentum of Mount Tai.

Even if Wu Sangui and the Manchus were united, they might not be able to defeat Li Zicheng, right?

After all, what they were facing was a peasant army with the highest morale that was about to establish a new dynasty.

It's a pity that Li Zicheng is too proud and arrogant.So it led to a fiasco of a stone, and finally fell into a slump, until he died in Jiugong Mountain, laughing for the world, and hating for the world. 】

[After the failure of the Battle of One Stone, the wisest choice for Li Zicheng was not to retreat to Shaanxi.

After more than ten years of severe drought and the repeated tossing of nearly a million bandits, Shaanxi has long been turned into a desolate land. It cannot support Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops, nor can Li Zicheng stick to this place for a long time.

At that time, Li Zicheng had to stick to the city of Beijing and let the peasant army who had conquered various places return to the rescue.

Or the whole division will go south decisively.

You must know that at that time Henan, Hebei, Shandong, and Hubei were all Dashun territories.

If Li Zicheng led his army southward, he could not only rely on the resources of these provinces to deal with the Manchus, but also deter those Ming troops who surrendered at both ends of the head.

No matter how bad it is, they can directly cross the south of the Yangtze River and rely on the financial and people power of the south of the Yangtze River to rule the river with the Qing Dynasty.

But he fled directly to Xi'an.

A few months later, when Azige and Wu Sangui were driven from Shaanxi to the border of Henan, the prefectures in Henan and Shandong had already become the domains of Nanming and Manchu.The generals of the Dashun Army stationed in various places were either killed or betrayed Li Zicheng.

At this time, in fact, Li Zicheng had only one choice left, to lead the East Route Army to defend the six counties of Xiangyang, and let Li Guogao's 10,000+ West Route Army attack Jiangnan.

Li Zicheng, who was afraid of being beaten by the Manchu Qing, did not listen to Bai Wang's words, and rashly abandoned the six counties of Xiangyang, trying to compete with Nanming for Jinling.

In the end, even God abandoned him.A generation of heroes died so ridiculously at the hands of two mountain people. 】
