Chapter 204: Jiang Xiang Surrenders, The Incident of Qin Bing's Rebellion against the Ming Dynasty Ignored by History!
In the palace, Zhu Youjian received a report that Ningwu Pass was lost and Li Guofu died for his country. He was a little stunned. Li Guofu had no reason to do this? Why did he insist on leaving the city to fight to the death?
According to memory, Zhou Yuji should have died for the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, after the time and space change, a loyal minister died under this city. The Ming Dynasty's energy in Ningwu Pass was still extremely strong.
"The former general of Taiyuan, Li Guofu, was the Duke of Rongguo, and the Taibao was also the Prince of Prince Taibao, and was buried with the imperial tomb. During the battle of Ningwu Pass, all the children of the soldiers who died in the throne entered the Young Military Camp of Yongwei Camp."
Although Li Guofu's death was surprising, it was not the result that Zhu Youjian expected. Zhu Youjian did not want to be vague at all when he deserved the honor he deserved. In front of the cabinet and the six important officials of the ministry, he raised the title of Duke of the State that had rarely been granted since the Yongle period to Li Guofu!
Zhu Youjian felt that as a soldier, Li Guofu's character was completely matched with the grief behind him. At present, there were not many generals who could be the dying emperor of the country in this way.
Just as the monarchs and ministers in Beijing were busy solving the funeral after Li Guofu died in his country, Li Zicheng, who was leading the army to advance north, was also discussing the matter of a wise general.
After hearing that Ningwu Pass City was broken, Jiang Xiang, the general of Datong, sent secret envoys to Li Zicheng's camp overnight.
That's right, Jiang Xiang made the same choice as in history, and prepared to surrender before Li Zicheng's army arrived in Datong.
"Does General Jiang have specific requirements for the treatment of his followers after he surrendered to me?" After reading Jiang Xiang's personal letter, Li Zicheng asked Jiang Xiang's confidant straight to the point, and see what specific requirements did Jiang Xiang, the old thief, have.
"Report to my emperor, my general said that he and all the generals of Dashun are Qin. If you can do things for the new dynasty, you are helping the old Qin people. My general will continue to help Dashun and guard Datong Xiongguan. I wonder what your Majesty is thinking?"
"Since we have left Qin together, I will not see each other again. I have decided to grant General Jiang the general of Dashun and the commander of Datong. I hope that General Jiang can guard Datong City for our dynasty."
Li Zicheng happily agreed to Jiang Xiang's request. Although Datong is important, it is okay to give it to him Jiang Xiang compared to the whole world. In this way, it will be much easier for the army to go north. As for the future, I will talk about it later. Now, this transaction is cost-effective.
Shortly after the aide returned to Datong City with Li Zicheng's imperial edict, Jiang Xiang asked someone to open the Datong City Gate and magnify the main troops to continue to attack the Ming Dynasty.
"Jiang Xiang won the summit? The news is true?" Zhu Youjian was shocked when he saw the news about Jiang Xiang throwing the summit in the capital.
Before, I was still sighing that there were loyal ministers and good generals in the Ming Dynasty, but as a result, Jiang Xiang, the old thief, gave him this move, and the slap in the face was too fast.
What shocked Zhu Youjian was that the current situation was obviously much better than before, but Jiang Xiang chose the same path as in history. For what reason did he make such a choice? Do the generals in the world feel that the Ming Dynasty is over?
In fact, this time Jiang Xiang's surrender to Li Zicheng was completely different from the starting point in real history. In real history, Jiang Xiang really felt that the Ming Dynasty was in a desperate situation before surrendering. This time he was frightened by the emperor of Beijing and did this to preserve his strength.
The reason why Jiang Xiang was scared was that some time ago, the emperor reorganized the three ministries of Ma Ke, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen. Jiang Xiang found that his current situation was no different from those three. The emperor's new army fought a war in the Miyun area before, and then the three were blocked. Now the new army is coming to Datong again. Whether it is winning or losing, Jiang Xiang feels that he will lose his troops and Datong City. Since this is the case, it is better to surrender to Li Zicheng quickly. As long as Li Zicheng is a sensible person, he should agree to his unstoppable request.
Jiang Xiang, who has soldiers and cities under his command, would never sit idly by and watch him fall into the same fate as Tang Tong and Ma Ke. Even if the emperor of Beijing City could not accept the political treatment given to the general who lost his power, he would not accept it! Military and horses are everything for the generals.
"Summon Ma Ke, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen to the Military Order Hall, and both sent military orders to Liu Yuanbin and Cao Ruohai, asking them to strictly investigate the movements of the Qin soldiers in the camp and investigate whether there are any unstable soldiers. If the situation is discovered, deal with it in time, and kill it," Zhu Youjian, who had recovered a little bit of emotion, quickly made a arrangement to repair the dead.
生花明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明明�
He suddenly woke up. The reason why Li Zicheng quickly advanced into Beijing in history was because the Qin generals around the garrison circle of the capital surrendered collectively. If their kneeling speed was not so fast, Beijing would not have fallen so quickly. Maybe there would be a few more troops to support the king.
In later historical records, there are not many rebellions on the collective rebellion of the Qin soldiers around the garrison circle around the capital. In fact, the rebellion of the Qin soldiers was the last straw that crushed the Ming Dynasty. Many people often say that Wu Sangui and the Guanning Army did not work hard, and were one of the forces that dragged down the Ming Dynasty. Objectively speaking, the Qin soldiers did not do less than the Guanning Army in cheating the Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps for the sake of guarding against the Guanning Army, Zhu Youjian, in history, arranged all the heads of the Qin army, Ma Ke, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Jiang Xiang of Datong, and Gao Di from Shanhaiguan, in the garrison circle around the capital, in the end, none of them were given strength! I have to say that this decision was a big failure. Fortunately, he made a mistake and adapted the troops of Tang Tong and others in advance, otherwise the current situation would be even more difficult to test.
These people have the same feelings as Li Zicheng and others, and the psychological pressure on making the choice to surrender is not great. The Qin soldiers have never been able to go out to Shaanxi to suppress the thieves, and it is probably because of the fact that the local party is in love. In Shaanxi, if they don’t kill their jobs, their jobs will be taken away by these fellow villagers. If you leave Shaanxi, the Qin soldiers will not feel sorry for whom you rob.
"The three of you should have heard of Jiang Xiang's surrender, right? Fortunately, I took away the military power of you and the three of you in advance. Otherwise, I will have no choice if you do anything. Today, I will explain it to you and the three of you are honestly working in the Military Order Hall. I will not make things difficult for you. But if you make trouble, even if the Ming Dynasty wants to destroy the country, I can figure out the three of you and your family before going on the road." Seeing Tang Tong and others, Zhu Youjian scolded him mercilessly. He did not care whether these three goods had the idea of being traitors in his heart. Anyway, they were not good goods.
"Your Majesty, we have no idea of betraying the court!" Tang Tong and the other two were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy, and kept showing their loyalty. Jiang Xiang became a traitor, and the three of them were the ones who cheated the most. They are now flesh on the chopping board, and the emperor could clean them up if they were not good.
"It's better not! I often say that none of the old military leaders in the Ming Dynasty are qualified generals. Judging from Jiang Xiang's performance, this is correct. He would forget that he didn't think about the court, and he couldn't even consider the way he gave himself. Now Li Zicheng needs him, but when Li Zicheng has a stable position, can he still save his life? Since ancient times, which king has to tolerate generals who are not his own?"
