"There are beautiful people in the north, unique and independent." In the long river of history, there have been all kinds of beautiful women, and their beauty has fallen into the country, and even brought misfortune. Since ancient beauty with heroes, beautiful women often have a majestic and heroic big person around them to complement each other, but when this big person changes, then the beautiful woman will be uncertain, even red face and thin life.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the famine struck, there was almost no harvest throughout the country, and the great drought was coming, but the officials in charge of grain and grass in the DPRK did not care about the disaster at all, and ordered their officials to continue to collect taxes. Emperor Chongzhen was determined to put an end to the birth of such corrupt officials, but due to his weak power, he still could not resist the corrupt behavior of Korean and Chinese officials. At this time, the world began to be in chaos, and the peasants in various places who could not afford to pay the grain tax began to revolt. You can only fight with the officials and officials, all of them are dead, and the uprising may have a glimmer of life. It was with this kind of thinking that ordinary people all over the country began to rebel.
In 1629, Li Zicheng, the "King of Chuang", led an uprising and became the most powerful rebel army at that time. Most of the rebels were prodigal sons, skilled, skilled, and cynical. When he was practicing heroic righteousness, he was arrested by the officers and soldiers because he killed Shi Youren, a famous local ravine in the Yan'an area. At that time, an officer and soldier named Gao Ligong, after talking with Li Zicheng, felt that this was a talent and would become a big thing in the future.
So on a dark and windy night in a month, he quietly opened the handcuffs that detained Li Zicheng and fled with Li Zicheng to Hulu Mountain, which is located in a remote area and is rarely populated, it is difficult for anyone to find this place, and Gao Ligong's home is on this Hulu Mountain. They stopped there reassuringly. Gao Ligong has a sister in the family, a beautiful Xianshu named Gao Guiying. Although Gao Guiying is a woman, she has the pride and ambition of a boy, is very courageous, and her martial arts are also good.
In the feudal society at that time, it could be regarded as a strange woman. Since Li Zicheng came to Gao Ligong's home, Li Zicheng has from time to time pointed out Gao Guiying's martial arts, making Gao Guiying even more powerful, and even Li Zicheng became her subordinate defeated general. As the days passed, the two of them developed feelings in a come-and-go. As a younger brother, Gao Ligong saw the relationship between the two, so he tried his best to match them, and eventually the two became connected.
In 1633, Li Zicheng, who had already established a family, under the leadership of Gao Guiying's sister and brother, went to his uncle Gao Yingxiang. Gao Yingxiang set up a rebel army that was wrong, under the banner of anti-Ming. Gao Yingxiang knew that his niece was strong in martial arts, but he did not expect that she had improved so rapidly and her martial arts had reached a higher level. After learning that this was all the credit of Li Zicheng, Gao Yingxiang was overjoyed and hurriedly sealed li Zicheng's title of "Breaking General". In this way, the two of them fought together in Gao Yingxiang's troops to kill the enemy and fight in blood. Although the husband and wife rarely have sweet words, this tacit understanding also makes the two feel very romantic.
The romantic days soon ended after Gao Yingxiang's death. Gao Yingxiang was killed in the encirclement and suppression, and the dragons were leaderless, so Gao Guiying and Gao Ligong's sisters and brothers supported Li Zicheng to re-lead the brothers and establish themselves as the "King of Chuang". Subsequently, the troops led by Li Zicheng laid down more and more places and won the hearts and minds of the troops. In March 1644, Li Zicheng led his troops to occupy the city of Beijing, and the Chongzhen Emperor in the city knew that his life was imminent and hanged himself at Coal Mountain. At the end of 1644, Li Zicheng ascended the throne after cleaning up the rebellion in Beijing, established the state as Dashun, and named his wife Gao Guiying the Empress of the Middle Palace.
Most of the stories end in comedy, but the fate of Li Zicheng and his wife seems to be a joke for them. Wu Sangui in the north opened Shanhaiguan privately, causing a large number of foreigners to be released, threatening the safety of the people in Guannei. Later, Wu Sangui joined forces with the Manchu leader Dolgun to attack Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng was outnumbered and forced by them to the Nine Palace Mountain, and the militia of the Nine Palace Mountain took advantage of the situation to kill Li Zicheng. When Gao Guiying heard this news, he was indignant and hurriedly took his troops to the Nine Palaces Mountain to surround and suppress a group of militiamen.
Then she did an incredible thing, she led the remaining generals to defect to the Southern Ming Longwu Emperor, and began to prepare for revenge on the Qing army that killed her husband. Originally highly skilled in martial arts, she relied on many years of war experience to break through the defenses of the Qing army again and again, but because Wu Sangui had integrated generals from all over the world and expanded her sphere of influence, although Nanming had fighting skills, there was still a huge disparity in strength and the number of troops.
Except for the Maolu Mountain guarded by Gao Guiying, the rest of the Southern Ming territory was almost occupied by the Qing army. Even if Gao Guiying used her troops like gods, she could not withstand the thousands of troops and horses of the Qing army, and when she knew that she would lose, she would not surrender until she died and fought heroically with the Qing army. In the end, in order not to fall into the hands of the enemy, Gao Guiying put a fire on his own initiative and jumped into the sea of fire, and a generation of heroines fell.
