Chapter 616 Meeting of Heroes(2/2)
In addition, he also had fierce fights with some of the guard eunuchs, and recognized Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the prison army, as his godfather.
In addition, Wu Sangui also allowed his subordinates and generals to do evil and exploit the common people, killing people and stealing goods, without any fear or scruple.
It's a pity that no matter how talented he is, just because of his bad record in history, he is no better than a rotten cabbage in the heart of Emperor Shenwu Zhu Cixiang.
Zhu Cixiang was not Chongzhen, so he could only rely on Wu Sangui at the last moment. He had too many elite soldiers and generals under his command, and he did not need someone like Wu Sangui at all.
However, this was only the first year of Shenwu. If calculated according to the Chongzhen reign, it was the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and it was not long before Wu Sangui took refuge in Jiannu and became a traitor.
In addition, because of Zhu Cixi's time travel, history has changed. With the current advantage of the Ming Dynasty over the Jiannu, Wu Sangui will never surrender to the Jiannu.
Zhu Cixiang looked at Wu Sangui indifferently, and then turned his eyes to Jin Guofeng and Liu Zhaoji, the two great loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty. These two men were hundreds of miles ahead of Wu Sangui in terms of loyalty.
Liu Zhaoji was born in a family of generals, hereditary commander of Qianshi, served successively as Dusi Qianshu, and was under the command of Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief You Shiwei.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, he followed You Shiwei to resist the Qing army in Xuanfu. He was also ordered to suppress the peasant uprising in the Central Plains and was taught guerrilla.
In the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign, he pursued the Lu family in Yongning and was defeated in the battle. You Shiwei was dismissed from office. Liu Zhaoji and guerrilla Luo Dai divided their troops and became the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong after their achievements.
Liu Zhaoji and Zu Kuan defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Ruzhou and killed 1,600 people, ranking first in merit. They followed Zu Kuan and made many military exploits.
However, his subordinates were all border troops and were homesick, so they parted ways with Zu Kuan. Lu Xiangsheng sent him to Shaanxi to quell the rebellion. Because the capital was invaded by the Qing army, he returned to Shanhaiguan.
Later, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, transferred Liu Zhaoji to Liaodong and served as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. He was responsible for training the soldiers of Ningyuan battalions and was promoted to the governor Qianshi.
In March of the following year, the Qing army besieged Jinzhou. Liu Zhaoji was ordered to go with Ningyuan commander Wu Sangui to support Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui was trapped between pines and apricots. Liu Zhaoji rescued him at the cost of a thousand people.
In July, he, together with Cao Bianjiao and others, defeated the Qing army in Loess Terrace, Songshan and Xingshan.
In September, the battle at Xingshan resumed, and Liu Zhaoji retreated with a small number of troops. Hong Chengchou screened the generals, relieved Liu Zhaoji from his post, and let Wang Tingchen take his place.
In the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, he was promoted to Governor Tongzhi and Admiral of Nanjing University. After the establishment of the Hongguang regime in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Shi Kefa guarded the Huaiyang area.
Liu Zhaoji volunteered to serve in the army, and was awarded the title of Governor of the Left and the title of Taibao of the Crown Prince. Shi Kefa was the governor of Yangzhou and was ordered to lead his troops to guard Gaojiaji and defend the front line of the Huaihe River.
In March of the second year of Shunzhi, the Qing army surrounded Yangzhou, and Shi Kefa ordered nearby garrison reinforcements. Only Liu Zhaoji's lone army arrived and entered the city to guard the north gate.
After the city of Yangzhou was broken, Liu Zhaoji led his 400 troops to fight to the death with the Jiannu. In the end, he killed hundreds of people, but was outnumbered. In the end, the entire army was wiped out and died in the battle. I like the Ming Dynasty. In its heyday, it started from the time when the prince supervised the country.
