Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

——Shi Kefa even wrote his suicide note.

He also gave himself a "historical reputation" - "He should be buried at the foot of the tomb of Taizu, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty!"

Shi Kefa had already decided everything when he clearly had a lot to do!

He just wants to die...

Who knows - several days have passed, and the Qing army has not yet attacked Yangzhou City.

Shi Kefa was stunned.

The cooperation of "I am Shengqing" doesn't work!

It's been several days, why haven't you come to kill me and fulfill my honor?

What is the Qing army trying to do?

So Shi Kefa couldn't sit still and wrote another letter.

(I completely forgot that I just told my adopted son that that letter was his final letter.)

Mr. Shi once again wrote a letter home:

Letter to the whole family - Hello everyone, the Qing army surrounded Yangzhou City on the 21th. I don’t know why today ([-]st), they have not yet attacked.

However, people's hearts are scattered, and I can't deal with it.

(My last thought) I wonder, my wife, if you would like to die with me and be buried for me?

(Let your husband PUA you) This world is too boring, why don’t you make up your mind quickly and die for me!

As for our mother, let’s leave it to the clan to take care of her.

By the way, my singer concubine gave birth to a son. Although he is not a direct bloodline, he is still a descendant. He was entrusted to the family before, so let him follow my mother!

A letter written by Shi Kefa during the Battle of Yangzhou

(Note: In Shi Kefa's book, there is a person named "Zhen'er" mentioned.

"Jin Chapo Collection" written by Jin Yingsheng at the end of the Ming Dynasty states: "Yu'an, Tao Linzi, lived in Shanyang after the Ding Revolution."

According to this record, "Zhen'er" was either named "Yu'an", or Shi Kefa had a son named Yu'an.

Ruan Kuisheng's "Cha Yu Ke Hua" in the Qing Dynasty recorded in detail the affairs of Shi Kefa's descendants:

In the fourth year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign in the Qing Dynasty, during the scholar examination in Shangyuan County, there was a boy named Shi who was in his 40s and was illiterate in arts and sciences. However, in terms of place of birth and interpersonal relationships, he was listed as the grandson of Shi Kefa.

Examiner Deng Zhongyue checked in many ways and found that he was indeed Shi Kefa's grandson.

Therefore, on the grounds that "literary discussion is not allowed", this famous person was selected as a scholar, and he was also allowed to eat "Linsheng" food. )

……

Shi Kefa was busy writing letters to his family and trying not to tarnish his name.

Yangzhou was like an undefended girl who had taken off her clothes, exposing her soft belly to the Qing army.

With coaches like this, how could warlord leaders like Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo risk their lives to resist?

The warlord leader's heart suddenly became alive.

Coincidentally, the two began to hook up with the Qing army.

Especially Liu Liangzuo.

Liu Liangzuo's younger brother Liu Liangchen had followed Zu Dashou and surrendered to the Qing court as early as the fourth year of Chongzhen.

At this time, under Liu Liangchen's guidance, Liu Liangzuo's defense area was no longer fortified by the Qing army.

And Liu Zeqing...

This person is even worse!

Liu Zeqing was originally the commander-in-chief of Shandong and was stationed on the front line of the Shandong Canal.

However, during the Jiashen Incident, Liu Zeqing ran faster than a rabbit and immediately gave up the defense zone and headed straight to Jiangnan.

Finally, he was placed in Huai'an Prefecture at the junction of Shandong and Nanzhili by the Southern Ming Dynasty.

After Gao Jie was killed, Shi Kefa abandoned the rest of Gao Jie's troops, causing the Xing family to turn to Zhu Youjian.

At this point, the Ming Dynasty under Zhu Youjian's control was already in front of Liu Zeqing.

Originally, the new Ming Dynasty only let Huang Degong control the "enclave" of Shandong.

Liu Zeqing can be regarded as "one-sided enemy".

Xing's surrender caused Liu Zeqing to be "attacked from two sides."

There was even a situation of being surrounded!

In order to prevent being liquidated by Zhu Youjian, Liu Zeqing gave up the defense area again and headed straight for the Yangtze River.

Liu Ze cleared his warehouse and fled southward, losing land and territory again.

However, under Shi Kefa's arrangement, Liu Zeqing took over the vacuum areas left behind after Huang Degong switched to Zhu Youjian - Chuzhou, Hezhou, Luzhou and other places.

We are already across the river from Nanjing!

In the four towns of the Southern Ming Dynasty, with the successive surrenders of Huang Degong and Gao Jie to the Ming Dynasty, Shi Kefa only had Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo's troops left in his hands.

At this time, if Shi Kefa appeased the two of them and re-established the defense line, he might not be able to stop the Qing army that suffered successive defeats.

As long as Shi Kefa is willing to fight, the simplest way is-

——In the name of establishing a command headquarters, he elevated Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing to the high position of "deputy commanders" and kept them by his side, controlling them and controlling their armies.

It’s easy to wear a high hat and flatter others, right?

Everyone is carrying the sedan chair. With your status as a criminal, please say a few nice words. These warlord leaders should not do anything for you!

Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters and praise others, but they won't die!

You should learn from Liu Bang!

Then, you, Shi Kefa, sent your own staff, in the name of "Staff Group", to take over the army.

Shi Kefa didn't need to do anything, as long as he unified command and held the line of defense...

The outcome of the Battle of Yangzhou will definitely be rewritten!

At the very least, it can be done to buy time for the people to evacuate!

These two movies add up to 10,000+ people!

Even if there are 10,000+ pigs, as long as the defense line is laid out and the Qing army can catch them, it can be delayed for a while, right?

Don't say that Nan Ming has no chance.

Li Zicheng in history delayed the Qing army in Beizhili, Shanxi, and Shaanxi for more than a year.

Take advantage of this time difference!

After Li Zicheng's death, the remaining troops have been fighting fiercely with the Qing army.

The most elite Qing army has always been on the battlefield with Dashun.

Will you divert misfortune to the east?

As long as this period of time is sustained, Jiang Xiang will drag the main force of the Qing army to the north again!

With so many natural allies, even if you don't form an alliance, you can use your enemy's enemies to achieve your goals - is that possible?

The enemy of the enemy is the friend!

You Shi Kefa don’t understand such a simple truth?

Look at how well Emperor Longwu used the remaining troops of Li Zicheng to "fight the bandits against the captives" with one move!

Li Zicheng's remaining troops screamed and went to fight the Qing army, and they continued to fight for more than 20 years!

Li Laiheng became the last armed force on the mainland to carry the banner of the Ming Dynasty!

How much money does it cost to issue several imperial edicts?

Promise them to go out with a blank check, and ban a bunch of officials from enemy-occupied areas...

You can’t get those territories anyway!

Even if you can kill one more Qing army, it will all be in vain!

Isn't this the best way to do this?

Chang Shenkai knows how to learn from our advanced experience and engage in armed resistance behind enemy lines!

Even micro-management masters understand the truth, but you, Shi Kefa, don’t understand?

Not to mention, Shi Kefa had an aide at that time who came up with a vicious plan——

The terrain of Huai'an is high. Build a dam in Huai'an to intercept the river water. When the Qing army arrives outside Yangzhou City, open the gate and release the water, you can drown all the Qing army in one fell swoop!

Is this a bad strategy?
