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

The trumpet shook the sky, and the flags were like a forest.

The Ming army left Ye County and embarked on the road to the west.

Huang Nilu, Shen Zhanran, Yao Cheng and other civil and military officials who were ordered to stay behind to run Ye County bent over and presented them with gifts.

The dragon finally found the abyss!

……

And another hero created by the times - Li Zicheng.

But standing at the crossroads of life.

Just when Zhu Youjian stepped into the pass and headed towards the Nanyang Basin.

A far-reaching change is also taking place in the northern land.

The Liaodong Military Group has already formed a selfish warlord group.

Li family, Zu family, Wu family...

And the gentry boss behind it-Donglin, or the Wenchen Group!

With the efforts of generations of Liaodong generals, they succeeded in controlling half of the Ming Dynasty's military strength, or more than half of its finances, but they were all devoured by the gluttonous mouths of the gentry along the upper and lower lines of Liaodong.

And the generals naturally know that population and soldiers are the foundation of the generals.

This is the political correctness that cost a lot of manpower and time to win for "Liao people to defend Liao soil".

This is also the reason why the three giants of Liaodong, despite Chongzhen's successive imperial edicts and imperial orders, took the "common people" of Liaodong and moved to Shanhaiguan.

however……

Daming is gone...

Wu Sangui, who had preserved his foundation as a general, was dumbfounded!

Raising troops has always been a bottomless pit.

Especially when there are so many gluttons lying on their stomachs up and down Liaodong - gluttons with their bloody mouths open!

Simply relying on the output of the people of Liaodong...

Do not make jokes!

The cost for Wu Sangui to raise a Chen Yuan (Chen Yuanyuan) is more than just three melons and two dates!

As a soldier, he was also the person involved in the major incident that broke the Liaodong generals and was slashed on the nose by Donglu, leaving a lifelong mark. Wu Sangui knew the consequences——

Once the people on this line can't get the benefits they should have, don't look at him. Wu Sangui is now the head of the Liaodong General Sect. He has all the majesty and benefits, fame, fortune, status and beautiful women.

You can even take the emperor's words as farts!

However, once the gluttons are not satisfied...

The next moment, his bones will be thrown into the stinky ditch, and will be stepped on, leaving a stink for eternity!

Wu Sangui panicked.

Li Zicheng actually came to Beijing?

Daming is gone?

God!

That money, like mountains pouring into the sea, is gone?

finished calf...

I'm very panicked...

What to do?

The soldiers and ruffians below can say that the worst thing they can do is give up and join the Qing Dynasty.

Anyway, my eldest brother Wu Sanfeng, my younger brother Wu Sanfu, uncle Zu Dashou and the whole family are all enjoying themselves in Daqing!

Although Wu Sangui knew that the superiority of his relatives' life in the Qing Dynasty depended on how much he "sent" them.

But no matter what happens, people with two braids will always miss the past, right?

A real money rat tail looks like this, with seven or eight beards on one side of the upper lip, a completely shaved chin, money on the top of the head, and a rat tail on the back of the head. The time is about 1720

I have given away so many things, including fields, people, treasures, food, ministers...

We have contributed to the Qing Dynasty!

You shouldn’t burn bridges by crossing the river!

Otherwise, who will work for you in the future?

……

Wu Sangui was unsure, and the governors of Liaodong, Wang Yongji and Li Yutian, were even more unsure!

At least Wu Sangui still has troops, so he won't suffer any loss.

Whether it is Li Zicheng or the Qing Dynasty, they must look at others with a high regard.

They are different!

Although the position of governor does earn a lot of money...

This is a job where you trade your brain for money.

You should make money.

They don't want to lose their lives!

As a result, the two men led their troops to approach Wu Sangui in unison.

On the 27th, the three groups merged into one, strengthening each other's momentum.

Even if you surrender, you can still sell it for a good price!

At this moment, on the 29th, Li Zicheng sent a letter.

This letter was written by Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang.

The letter was written by Wu Xiang, but the content was Li Zicheng’s original words——

Li Zicheng said: "...The opportunity has been lost, and destiny is hard to come back...You are dead, and your father is only a moment away. Those who understand current affairs should know what to do."

"If you surrender this morning, you will not lose the reward of Tonghou, but you will still have the name of a filial son."

‘I have heard for a long time that Liaodong is short of pay, so I will first send four months of military rations and 4 taels of silver.

He also stated that as long as the general comes to surrender, "he will be rewarded as soon as he performs meritorious service." ’

Li Zicheng was full of sincerity, which impressed Wu Sangui.

For Wu Sangui, who has been without pay for more than a year, it is indeed——

Let him see the future!

Wu Sangui breathed a sigh of relief: Finally found the hotel!

Although this amount of money is very small, compared to the millions of taels that Emperor Ming often spent, it is not worth mentioning at all!

However, before he surrendered to Li Zicheng, he was sent a big gift.

If he surrenders to Li Zicheng, will his "Liao salary" be less in the future?

Wu Sangui immediately decided to surrender to Li Zicheng!

After Wu Xiang negotiated an agreement, Wu Sangui decided to defect to Dashun, and even sent his cronies to Beijing first, bringing a roster of soldiers and dedicating them to Li Zicheng.

In order to express his sincerity, he first wrote a letter to his father: "Obey my father's orders, comply with the people's wishes, abandon your armor and switch sides, with a clear conscience."

Then he sent another letter to Li Zicheng, praising Li Zicheng as the master of human beings, and how he is so virtuous...

There is a saying: Does a sedan chair carry people?

Besides, Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng had no hatred, and they didn't even fight each other.

Li Zicheng is willing to give money, so what pressure does Li Zicheng have to surrender?

In order to show his sincerity, Wu Sangui led his troops away from Shanhaiguan and headed towards the capital, preparing to accept Li Zicheng's army reorganization.

Wu Sangui and others had left Shanhaiguan earlier, and Li Zicheng sent Tang Tong to take over Shanhaiguan's defense.

The time when Wu Sangui expressed his stance was on the first day of April (the first day of the third month of the lunar calendar).

……

a few days later.

Li Zicheng's envoy arrived at the Liaodong Military Camp, which was temporarily staying in Luanzhou.

This time, it is no longer an insignificant person, but Zuo Maotai, the left minister of the military government of Tang Tong and Dashun regime!

During this trip, Dashun not only brought 4 taels of military pay, but also Li Zicheng's letter of appointment.

Li Zicheng asked Wu Sangui to stay where he was and not go to the capital again.

(This original location is not Shanhaiguan, but Ningyuan and other areas outside the Shanhaiguan Pass where Wu Sangui was previously guarding.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan was Gao Di, and Li Zicheng's appointment was to let Gao Di stay at Shanhaiguan. Li Zicheng's order to Tang Tong was for Tang Tong to go to Shanhaiguan and take over Shanhaiguan's defense.

According to Li Zicheng's plan, there was Wu Sangui outside the pass, Tang Tong was the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, and Gao Di was the general.

Zuo Maotai is in charge of all areas, similar to the role of supervising the army. )

Li Zicheng's treatment is very high!

Not only did Wu Sangui continue to guard the outside of the pass, but also——

He directly granted the high position of Marquis Wu Sangui.

You know, there are only nine marquises in the entire Dashun!

There is not even one Wang Jue!

At this moment, Wu Sangui was really ranked lower than ten people and higher than ten thousand people in Dashun!

Li Zicheng's sincerity cannot be said to be low!

However, times have changed!

At this moment, someone entered Wu Sangui's army.

The person who came was none other than a close confidant of the Liaodong general in the Qing Dynasty.

The messenger brought a piece of news, news that completely made Wu Sangui change his mind——
