Chapter 20 (20) Official Transformation of Bandits

The Hongguang court was wiped out, and now the governor of Huguang, He Tengjiao, has the most soldiers and horses in the world. He Tengjiao's soldiers and horses were all Li Zicheng's rogues. Li Zicheng's subordinates Hao Yaoqi, Liu Tiren and nearly 200,000 people were the first to join He Tengjiao.The food for the 200,000 people has not yet been taken care of. Over there, Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo, a tiger, and Li Zicheng's wife Gao Guiying also came with more than 300,000 people, demanding to surrender. Overjoyed, He Tengjiao changed the name of a tiger, Li Guo, to Li Chixin.Gao Guiying, the former empress of Dashun, was named Mrs. Zhenyi, and the barracks under her jurisdiction were named Zhongzhenying.

Then there were more than 100,000 remnants of Li Zicheng's troops running around, and the rebels who ran out after Zuo Liangyu's death, more than 200,000 people, all gathered at He Tengjiao's place. At this time, the total number of men and horses under He Tengjiao's tent was already full of mountains and valleys, reaching 800,000 people. In fact, the rogues have been making trouble for so many years, and they have long since given up their minds. Now they are thinking about finding a reliable leader as soon as possible, and transforming into a full-time state-owned employee.The former Fanshan Yao Gaojie's men wanted Shi Kefa to lead them, but Shi Kefa refused.But now, a tiger, Li Guo, and Queen Gao Guiying finally found a leader.

The rogues at this time are completely different from the rogues of earlier years.In the early years when Li Zicheng was just a red kid among the rogues, the rogues were all barefoot men with no tiles to cover their bodies and no ground to stand on. They just closed their eyes and ran desperately across the land of China.In the past, the fierce generals were as fierce as tigers. They chased the bandits madly for more than 40 days, and ran for more than 2,600 miles in one breath. The men and horses were exhausted and injured, but they still couldn't catch up. It was because the bandits at that time only knew how to run around.

But now, the rogues have been making trouble for so long, they already have a family, a lot of wives and children, and a group of gold, silver and jewelry piled up in the house. If they are allowed to run away at this time, they will definitely not be able to escape. of. So the general trend of the world at that time was: Whoever can subdue these evil stars of the world will also be able to easily conquer the world. He Tengjiao took a quick step and conquered the remnants of Li Zicheng, which brought hope for the recovery of the Ming Dynasty. But Li Zicheng's subordinates are really unreliable.He Tengjiao once secretly opened a letter written by Li Chixin, a tiger, and found that he called Li Zi the "first emperor" and Gao Guiying the "empress dowager" in the letter; call.

So the Lord is unforgettable. And this tiger, Li Chixin, has followed Li Zicheng's side to kill and set fire all his life. He has not received any orthodox education, and his evil heart is hard to change. How to educate Li Chixin and guide him on the correct path of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism? He Tengjiao was very worried. So one day, He Tengjiao came to Li Chixin's barracks, and after entering the barracks, he went to meet Gao Guiying, the former Empress of Dashun, and saluted her respectfully.Gao Guiying was overjoyed, so she called all the children out and taught them: "You guys, don't forget He Gong's kindness to us in the future."

Li Chi was overjoyed and became loyal to He Tengjiao ever since. So He Tengjiao considered that everything was ready, the only thing he owed was the east wind, and now he was going to send his troops northward to expel the Qing soldiers and restore Daming. Then Zhu Yujian, king of the Tang Dynasty from the clan of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne in Fuzhou and proclaimed himself emperor Longwu Emperor.Immediately afterwards, a recovery movement with a head and no tail was launched.
