In the past, when discussing Li Zicheng, we always liked to discuss his personal deeds and his identity as a king. After all, in Chinese history, like Li Zicheng, there are still relatively few peasants who can go from a commoner to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and his heroic deeds have been sought after by many people.
It is true that Li Zicheng has a strong personal charm, otherwise, he would not be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty, but if you really want to elaborate, Li Zicheng's success does not only come from his own efforts, but also from the help of his xiannei help.
As the saying goes, behind every successful man there must be a good woman. At that time, Li Zicheng was like this, and behind him there was Empress Gao, a beautiful and strong woman with strong martial arts. So the question is, what kind of story does this strong woman and Li Zicheng have?
According to historical records, Li Zicheng's early life was very miserable, although he was barely a civil servant in charge of delivering letters in the post area, but he had no choice but to be diligent and earnest but he could not stop the corruption of the government, and he was tired and tired every day and even saved this job bowl upside down, but he was still directly laid off by the Chongzhen Emperor.
Faced with a tragic life, Li Zicheng simply broke away from the government organization and became a mixed society. However, Li Zicheng is indeed a powerful character, even when he was mixed with society, he also learned a good skill, especially in fighting, but also trained a body of muscle memory. Of course, after possessing martial arts, he naturally had to do chivalry and righteousness, so even though he was poor, he still eliminated harm for the people, killed a hooligan, and as a result, he was arrested by the government and sent to prison.
If it is an ordinary person, then fate must have stopped here, after all, the society was very dark at that time, and the prison that entered was bound to lie down and go out. But Li Zicheng was very lucky, because it was his friend who was guarding the cell at that time, and this person's name was Gao Ligong.
According to the historical records, Gao Ligong originally only took care of Li Zicheng and did not intend to rescue him, and he himself did not have this ability. But one night, Gao Ligong went to see Li Zicheng and found a dragon hovering inside the prison, which scared him enough on the spot. When I looked back carefully, there was no dragon, only Li Zicheng was there.
Because of this incident, Gao Ligong thought that Li Zicheng must have come from an extraordinary background, so he actually risked releasing Li Zicheng and the two fled together. They first fled back to their hometown, when Gao Ligong's hometown also had his sister Gao Guiying, so the injured Li Zicheng met Gao Guiying, and then the two spent a long period of tacit understanding of recuperation and care.
In these days, the two only discussed the world's major events at first, and later exchanged martial arts experience, and the more they talked, the more in tune they were. Even in the end, when Gao Guiying changed the bandage for Li Zicheng, it was just a simple physical contact, and the two looked so sweet like a newlywed couple.
Obviously, the change between these two people attracted Gao Ligong's attention, and at the beginning he should have been more angry, because his relationship with Li Zicheng was because of brotherly feelings, not for him to poach his sister. Moreover, at that time, his sister married the wrong person, but the husband died early, and it was indeed not good to let the widow remarry.
However, angry and angry, thinking carefully as if the two were also more compatible, and then remembering that night to see the dragon circling on Li Zicheng's body, in the end Gao Ligong still chose to help them, and on the same day, he broke the relationship between the two, and Gao Guiying accepted his brother's arrangement when he was ashamed to answer.
In this way, Li Zicheng, who had encountered many unpleasant encounters in his life, suddenly embraced the beauty, and this beauty looked beautiful, high in martial arts, and was very gentle and considerate. It should be said that at that time, Li Zicheng could wake up with a smile in his dreams, and every day was a happy event.
However, the happy days were short-lived, because the world was already very chaotic at that time, and the people could only rebel if they wanted to survive. So Li Zicheng took his wife and chose to join the ranks of the rebel army, and since the Chongzhen Emperor did not let him be a member of the system, he simply overthrew the entire system and started again.
At that time, they were followed by Gao Yingxiang, the king of the Chuang Dynasty, who was a very powerful character who gathered 100,000 troops from all over the world as the leading big brother. After that, they fought against the regular army of the Ming Dynasty together, and during this period, Li Zicheng grew very quickly, not only was he brave and sufficient, but he also slowly became a qualified commander. And one thing worth noting is that Gao Guiying has also become Li Zicheng's most important helper, and when he charged into battle, the husband and wife joined forces, and the strength value doubled. Then, when making suggestions, Gao Guiying was often able to check and fill in the gaps, so Li Zicheng got the help of his wife, which was almost like divine help.
In later history, the Ming Dynasty was dying and struggling, and several fierce characters appeared, such as Xiong Tingbi and Hong Chengyu, who beat the rebel army to pieces and even killed the king.
But at this critical juncture, with the support of his wife, Li Zicheng struggled through the difficulties, and he raised the banner of the king himself, and in an instant, he gathered another 500,000 people to kill the Ming Dynasty.
Later history we all know, Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, and the Chongzhen Emperor committed suicide. Then li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor, and his best wife Gao Guiying also became Empress Gao.
But unfortunately, Li Zicheng gave his wife a big world, but he failed to continue this commitment. In the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng returned from a crushing defeat, after which Li Zicheng was hunted down and killed by Wu Sangui and others, and finally died at Jiugong Mountain.
When she learned of this news, Empress Gao's whole body collapsed, and she desperately organized her troops to rescue Li Zicheng, only to see an incomplete corpse. On that day Empress Gao made a miserable cry on the mountain, but on the second day she dried her tears and continued to advance with her troops, and from then on there was no Empress Gao, only a vengeful Gao Guiying.
According to historical records, Gao Guiying joined the Southern Ming army with the remnants of Li Zicheng's troops, and then frantically retaliated against the Qing army, once beating the Qing army to the point of losing its armor and armor more than once, and even once carrying out a terrible siege of them.
Because Empress Gao was outstanding, the Southern Ming government gave him a very high evaluation, not only calling her army a loyal camp, but also worshipped her as Lady Jiexiao Zhenyi Yipin.
But unfortunately, no matter how fierce Empress Gao was, no matter how wonderfully Li Zicheng's remnants fought, she could not stop the encirclement of those traitors and the Qing army that could not be killed. In the end, all the outer defense lines were breached, and the Southern Ming Dynasty was about to be destroyed, in order not to let herself be humiliated, Empress Gao burned down her stronghold, so that all the materials accompanied her and returned to dust in the fire!
This is the story of the high empress of that year, she and Li Zicheng met at the time of loneliness, and then rose in the bloody war, and even had the honor of the empress. However, in the end, it can only end in tragedy and grandeur.
