Poem of Death (He Tengjiao)
Heaven knows that suffering will remain in the world, and the water of the Xiangjiang River will not flow.
Refining a stone has the intention to complain about a tree, but Ling Yun has no plan to comfort the three continents.
The rivers and mountains are red, the wind is sad, and the country is full of people and the rain is overflowing in autumn.
The exhausted time has passed, and the cuckoo's blood stains the clan every year.
??
He Tengjiao, a bachelor of Wuyingdian and the governor of Huguang, was a loyal minister. Historically, after being captured by the Qing army, he wrote this desperate poem, went on a hunger strike for seven days, and died unyielding.
With his actual actions, he showed a lamentable past story of "loyal ministers harming the country".
He Tengjiao is a ruthless character, and he is more ruthless to his own people than his enemies. He is extremely good at political struggles and playing power, and he has transformed Huguang into his independent kingdom in a few strokes.
After Li Zicheng's death, his men retreated into Huguang in two directions: east and west.
The Dashun Army on the East Route arrived in eastern Hunan first. The main generals were Zehou Tian Jianxiu, Yihou Zhang Nai, Mianhou Yuan Zongdi, Cihou Liu Fangliang, Guangshan Bo Liu Tichun, Taiping Bo Wu Ruyi, generals Hao Yaoqi, Wang Jincai, Niu Wancai, etc.
He Tengjiao felt that the opportunity to perform meritorious service in front of Emperor Longwu had come. At that time, he recruited a group of local Ming Dynasty troops from Hunan, such as Huang Chaoxuan, Zhang Xianbi and others. He thought that he could easily capture these defeated soldiers of Li Chuang.
So He Tengjiao ordered the governor of Changsha, Tuesday Nan, and the deputy commander-in-chief, Huang Chaoxuan, led the troops to attack the peasant army. They were defeated, and Tuesday Nan died in the battle.
The main force was wiped out, and Governor He was ready to die for the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, there is no road ahead, and the Dashun Army surrendered. It turned out that after Li Zicheng's death, the peasant army was leaderless and had long been willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty.<
/p>
There was nothing to say. He couldn't defeat them again and again, so he could only accept their surrender. He reached a "joint venture" agreement with the East Road Dashun Army.
However, when I counted the number of troops on the East Route of the Breaking Army, I was shocked to see that there were 200,000 troops!
He Tengjiao thought, the bandits have 200,000 troops, and he only has tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops. What if these bandits rebel? No, we have to find a way to punish them.
At that time, after the peasant army was defeated by the Qing army, its organization was completely in chaos. High-status generals such as Liu Fangliang only had 10,000 soldiers left; Tian Jianxiu only had 7,000 soldiers left; Yuan Zongdi only had 3,000 soldiers left.
.And low-status generals, such as Yuan Zongdi's old subordinate Liu Tichun, had 30,000 soldiers; Liu Tichun's younger brother Liu Titong had 20,000 soldiers; his general Hao Yaoqi had 40,000 soldiers; Wang Jincai had 76,000 soldiers.
If those with high status have few soldiers and those with low status have many, there will naturally be a contradiction.
He Tengjiao took a look and realized that the opportunity had come.
He divided and excluded the Dashun Army. He attracted those with low status and squeezed out those with high status. Hao Yaoqi and Wang Jincai originally had a lower status in the Dashun Army. He attracted these two people and accepted them as confidants, asking for money and food.
Providing food; Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, Zhang Nai, Liu Tichun, Wu Ruyi and others used to have higher status in the Dashun Army and were discriminated against. They neither resettled the troops nor provided food and wages.
Without food and wages, these people were forced to collect food on the spot. He Tengjiao immediately charged them with plundering and severely reprimanded them.
Two strikes and one strike forced away Tian Jianxiu, Yuan Zongdi, Zhang Nai, Liu Tichun, Wu Ruyi, Dang Shousu, Lin Yangyang, Wang Jincai, Niu Wancai and others. These people defected to Li Jin (Li Guo changed his name), Gao Gao
The Dashun Army's West Route Army led by Yi Qiang.
After the two armies of the Dashun Army joined together, they were said to have three hundred thousand, but they had no money and no pay. At the most difficult time, they briefly thought of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. However, the Qing insisted that Li Jin and Ma Jinzhong (nicknamed "One Hundred Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Thousand Yuan") volunteered
Dashun Army) and others shaved their heads to show their sincerity in surrender.
How can this be done? We are Han Chinese and have shaved our heads. How can we meet our ancestors? We have not reached an agreement.
We have no money and no pay, and neither the Ming nor the Qing will accept it. What should we do?
??
The reputation of Huhai fell into the Jin gentry,
From the river to Hubei Nilinlin.
Fanjun, look up from the Yellow Crane Tower,
How many heroes are there in the world?
On that day two years ago, a man, a horse and a white robe crossed the Lishui River from Wuling, arrived at Caochang, and headed for Li Jin's military camp.
"Who are you?"
"Please inform General Li. Du Yinxi, governor of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty, please have a meeting with the general."
Du Yinxi, courtesy name Zhongjian, was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Chongzhen.
Unlike most scholars, this person has a chivalrous spirit. A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people.
This may be related to his life experience. When he was eleven years old, both his parents died. He took refuge with his father-in-law Chen Damao and studied under Ma Shiqi. Ma Shiqi was a great scholar in the world. He taught his students how to behave with his life. Li Zicheng defeated Beijing and officials surrendered one after another.
Wei Ma Shiqi died for Emperor Chongzhen.
"A loyal minister does not care about the two kings. I should repay my lord with my death. I made the decision a few months ago. The one who cannot be indifferent is my mother's ears! Fortunately, I have received everything and returned to my mother. I have no regrets and no soul.
It is like the sun and stars in the sky, and it is like the rivers and mountains on the ground. It always circles the mother's side. I am afraid that there will be no clean soil in the south of the Yangtze River at this time, and I am extremely angry about it!"
Whenever I think of the teacher’s suicide note, Du Yinxi’s heart always surges.
He was determined to follow his teacher's example and risk his life to recruit and surrender the 300,000 old rebel troops for the Ming Dynasty. Before leaving, he was prepared to die: "The new country cannot be suppressed, so we must recruit it. It will be done."
It is a blessing to my country. If it fails, I will die."
Du Yinxi was very eloquent. He gave sincere condolences, explained loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, and was so impassioned that everyone was moved to tears and expressed their willingness to obey orders. In the name of Emperor Longwu, he also gave Li Zicheng's wife Gao's order, and also granted
Li Jin, Gao Yigong and others presented python jade, gold and silverware, and rewarded the troops. The soldiers cheered enthusiastically. Gao went out to worship and said to Li Jin: "Duke Du is really loyal. You must not let him down."
At that time, he was left to have a banquet and play music before the banquet. Du Yinxi politely declined, crying and said: "The two capitals have not recovered yet, and the people are in great poverty. Is this the time for ministers to enjoy and listen to music?" Li Jin and others
I sighed and canceled the banquet.
Emperor Longwu listened to Du Yinxi's opinion and appointed Li Jin as the left army in the front of the imperial camp, and Gao Yigong as the right army. They were awarded the seal of General Longhu and made a marquis. Li Jin was given the name of "True Heart", and Gao Yigong was sure to have a good reputation.
, named his camp the Zhongzhen Camp, and granted Gao the title of Mrs. Zhenyi. From then on, Li Jin and others took care of 300,000 people and obeyed Du Yinxi's control.
??
Emperor Longwu suddenly gained hundreds of thousands of troops, and believed that the time had come for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.
He ordered Du Yinxi to lead the newly surrendered Zhongzhen Battalion to attack Jingzhou; he ordered He Tengjiao to lead the regular army of the Ming Dynasty to attack Wuchang.
Emperor Longwu chose the timing of his Northern Expedition very well. At that time, the main force of the Qing army had already returned north, and there was only a small force in the south of the Yangtze River led by Pingnan General Leke Dehun.
Unfortunately, this Northern Expedition was sabotaged by the army led by the loyal minister He Tengjiao.
The loyal battalion led by Du Yinxi fought well and was about to break through Jingzhou. However, He Tengjiao's men were afraid of the Qing army. First, Zhang Xianbi used the excuse that the horses he purchased had not arrived and stayed away, and then the towns also waited and watched. He Tengjiao took these
The military leader has no choice.
After receiving the request for help from Huguang, Luck Dehun sent the escort commander Bo Hui to lead a force south to Yuezhou to attack He Tengjiao's tribe, which was led by Ma Jinzhong. Wang Yun became the vanguard; he led the main force directly to Jingzhou for a decisive battle with the Zhongzhen camp.<
/p>
A few days later, General He Tengjiao, who was stationed in the four towns of Yuezhou, Ma Jinzhong, Wang Yuncai, Lu Ding, and Wang Jincai, heard that the Eight Banners soldiers were attacking Yuezhou. They ignored the flooded areas and fled south by boat. Yuezhou deputy general Ma Jiaolin simply asked
The Qing army surrendered. He Tengjiao met the soldiers from the four towns fleeing south and asked why. The four generals said that Luck Dehun's army was in danger. In fact, Borhui led only a small force. He Tengjiao was frightened and retreated in panic.
Changsha.
Just run, you didn’t notify Du Yinxi next to you!
Du Yinxi thought that there was Tengjiao's army covering the flanks, so he took no precautions and continued to attack Jingzhou City. Luckede's Hun tribe suddenly appeared and rushed straight to the Zhongzhen camp in two directions. Li Jin and others were caught off guard and were defeated, heading west
Withdrew into Kuidong area; Du Yinxi fell off his horse and broke his arm and withdrew to Changde; Liu Fangliang and Chen died; Tian Jianxiu, Zhang Nai, Li You, and Wu Ruyi were killed after surrendering.
He Tengjiao made Duyinxikeng miserable.
After the failure of the Northern Expedition, He Tengjiao saw that his military leaders were separatist one by one and could not command themselves, so he determined to form an army loyal to himself. He sent people to recruit soldiers from Guangxi, Guizhou and other places, and soon put it together
He formed a pro-army of more than 30,000 people named "Dubiao" and "Fubiao". Its generals include Wu Chengzong, Yao Youxing, Long Jianming, Qin Yuchun, Man Dazhuang, Hu Yuelong, Xiang Dengshi, etc.
With this army, He Tengjiao became more confident and made another northern expedition.
As a result, tens of thousands of pro-insurgents were defeated by hundreds of Qing cavalry.
He Tengjiao desperately expanded his troops, which not only did not enhance Hunan's resistance to the Qing Dynasty, but seriously increased the burden on the people, leaving Hunan people destitute and full of factions.
??
The Governor and Governor of Huguang, Zhu Hengjia was very relieved about Du Yinxi; Zhu Hengjia was really worried about He Tengjiao.
He ordered Du Yinxi to go to Kuidong to reward the Zhongzhen Camp, and transferred the Zhongzhen Camp to Changde to guard against the army of King Sanshun of the Qing Dynasty; he also ordered Yang Guowei's troops to rush to Xinqiang, and guard the Xinqiang and Tongxi lines together with He Tengjiao's men;
The order was strictly followed and the general Chen Youlong was sent to garrison in Wugang.
