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

The same goes for Nan Ming!

Whether it is Zheng Chenggong or Li Dingguo...

If they had started anew at that time, they might not have been able to succeed!

However, getting mixed up with such a group of people has absolutely no chance of success!

In real life, many times, 1+2 is less than 1!

This is reality, which is far more magical than fiction.

If you look at the literati class of the Ming Dynasty with the same eyes you look at today's tycoons and wealthy plutocrats, you will find...

I looked up to them!

This group of people can do everything except make the country better!

It’s true that no matter what you eat (profit), you won’t be left with anything, and you won’t be able to do anything!

As for the resistance of Fu She and others, except for those few truly loyal people who resisted from the beginning——

The rest are military confrontation measures adopted as a last resort after the Qing army entered Jiangnan and did not give them what they wanted.

……

So, why were Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, and Ruan Dajue unable to obtain money and food from Jiangnan.

But let Yuan Shu go and ask for it?

This depends on Yuan Shu's father.

Yuan Ke established this person, but now his reputation is not obvious.

Even the bad guy Yuan Dudu is well-known to every household, but Yuan Keli's reputation is not well-known.

Yuan Keli was the Ming Dynasty minister who posed the greatest threat to the Jurchens in the late Ming Dynasty.

This person's comprehensive ability can be regarded as one of the three outstanding people in the late Ming Dynasty.

In terms of strategic vision, he was a peerless master in the late Ming Dynasty.

How awesome Yuan Keli is, let me just talk about a trivial matter - Yuan Keli instigated the rebellion of Nurhachi's son-in-law Liu Aita.

From this one incident, you can see Yuan Keli's ability.

After the Qing Dynasty took over China, it began to destroy the words and deeds about Yuan Keli.

The Aixinjueluo family's ban on Yuan Keli lasted throughout the Qing Dynasty.

Almost all the writings left by Yuan Keli, Yuan Shu and his son were destroyed or tampered with.

Even until 17, the 1891th year of Guangxu, 20 years before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the "Yuan Shangshu Dashifang" was demolished again.

……

It was under the name of Yuan Keli that Xu Dingguo became a general with tens of thousands of troops.

Just imagine, a person who served as a personal soldier for Yuan Keri could become the leader of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

This is evident from Yuan Keli's great reputation.

Gao Jie really looked down on Xu Dingguo.

Gao Jie considers himself not a good person.

He is not a gentleman, he calls himself a villain.

He and Li Zicheng were from the same village and joined the army as bandits.

After he became big, Li Zicheng treated him well and became a general in the army.

Gao Jie not only served as the vanguard general, but also served as the garrison general of the Chinese army several times.

After a while, Gao Jie hooked up with Li Zicheng's wife Xing.

Li Zicheng's second hat was put on by Gao Jie, a boy from the same village.

After that, he took the Xing family to surrender to the Ming army and served under He Renlong, the madman.

After He Renlong was killed by Sun Chuanting, Gao Jie became essentially a guerrilla general.

Later, after Sun Chuanting's death, he saw that the situation was not right and began to drift thousands of miles away.

Gao Jie never considered himself a good person.

For the sake of a woman, he would betray his fellow villagers.

For the sake of his wealth and life, he could rebel against the peasant army.

For the sake of territory and raising the army, he could ambush Huang Degong.

……

However, Gao Jie thought that he could not do it like Xu Dingguo, who used other people's banners and occupied other people's property.

This is also the reason why Gao Jie looks down on Xu Dingguo.

This person, once he looks down on someone, he will feel that he can crush the other person in every aspect.

Gao Jie dared to venture into Xu Dingguo's camp alone.

What's more, he also brought three hundred soldiers with him!

Seeing that they could not persuade Yue Qijie and Yang Longyou, they had to hurriedly organize 400 soldiers to follow Gao Jie and rush to the banquet.

This Xu Dingguo was once a soldier of Yuan Keli's Chinese army.

Suizhou is the hometown of Yuan Keli.

Xu Dingguo, under the banner of Yuan Keli, thrived in Suizhou.

After the destruction of the Yellow River in Kaifeng, most of the yamen along the line suffered.

Therefore, officials can only work in private houses.

Xu Dingguo took advantage of his status as Yuan Keli's heir and shamelessly occupied the Yuan family compound.

……

Xu Dingguo entertained Gao Jie, Yue Qijie, Yang Longyou and others in the library of Yuan Keli, Yuan Shu and his son.

(In the original history, there were also officials in Kaifeng in the Chongzhen Dynasty and Chen Qianfu in the Hongguang Dynasty who served as patrol commissioner in Henan.)

As Gao Jie said, Xu Dingguo is indeed a hypocrite.

He hated Gao Jie to death in his heart.

However, Gao Jie came to his hometown with only 300 people.

Even if we include the 700 soldiers of Yue Qijie and Yang Longyou, there are only [-] soldiers.

But he didn't dare to move, and even went out of the city to greet him personally.

And Gao Jie and his party...

When he saw Xu Dingguo coming out of the city to greet him, Gao Jie was even more relieved and left the majority of his troops outside the city.

Suizhou is originally a small scattered state, with only two counties, Kaocheng and Zhecheng, under its jurisdiction. (Half of Kaocheng is currently allocated to Lankao County and half to Minquan County)

Suizhou City is small and naturally cannot accommodate many soldiers.

Gao Jie entered the city with only a few dozen personal guards.

……

Xu Dingguo is indeed a hypocrite. He dare not take advantage of such a God-given opportunity!

This is Xu Dingguo’s hometown!

In Suizhou, Xu Dingguo had an army of [-] to [-] men. If he had any courage and gave an order, Gao Jie would be hacked to death with random swords.

However, Xu Dingguo did not dare.

He prepared a sumptuous banquet for Gao Jie.

Even the dozens of personal guards Gao Jie brought to Yuan Yuan were arranged to sit in the courtyard.

There are even many singers to join in the fun!

however!

I just drank three glasses of wine.

Gao Jie threw the wine glass to the ground!

"Bah!"

The sound of the wine cup breaking shocked everyone.

The whole courtyard was shocked.

Gao Jie's personal guards instantly held down the hilt of their swords.

Xu Dingguo was also frightened to death, thinking that Gao Jie was going to break the cup as a sign.

Gao Jie saw that no ambush troops rushed out after the cup was thrown, so he winked at Yue Qijie, Yang Longyou and others.

The two were relieved.

It turned out that Xu Dingguo was a hypocrite as Gao Jie had guessed. He only dared to make small moves behind his back and did not dare to make the slightest move in front of his face!

Xu Dingguo, whose expression changed, saw that Gao Jie's soldiers did not move, and then realized that Gao Jie was testing him.

He secretly wiped a cold sweat.

Good luck!

He didn't plan to kill Gao Jie at the banquet.

Gao Jie is a fierce man who was killed out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

He only achieved his current status through the name of his benefactor.

How dare he face Gao Jie head-on!

"Come here, please change the wine glass for me!"

Xu Dingguo scolded angrily and hurriedly asked someone to change Gao Jie's wine glass.

The maids hurriedly brought glasses of wine.

Xu Dingguo grabbed the jug with his own hands and poured wine for Gao Jie:

"Uncle, it's all a small mistake. Please don't be angry."

Gao Jie had a sneer on his lips and said in a deep voice:

"General Xu, I would like to ask you, when will we send out troops?"
