Thousands of years ago, a peasant named Chen Sheng stood on a high slope and shouted loudly: "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!" Since then, people who were born humble have also had the courage to call the king emperor, the most representative of which is Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng, who were born in a peasant family, the former successfully became emperor and created the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty; the latter was defeated miserably and was hunted down and killed by the Qing army.
So after Li Zicheng's death, what will happen to his beloved Empress Gao? Don't worry, and listen to the author slowly.
Before speaking of Empress Gao, we must first understand what happened to Li Zicheng before he met her. Born in a poor peasant family in Mizhi County, Yulin, Shaanxi, Li Zicheng lived a life of eating and eating without eating since he was a child, relying on shepherding sheep to make ends meet, but the house leaked in the overnight rain, Li Zicheng's mother died of illness when he was in his 10s, and it was not long before his father died, and the young Li Zicheng became an orphan.
Fortunately, Yinchuan Station took him in and made him a pawn, and as a result, once accidentally, Li Zicheng lost the official documents, and Hao Shengwen, in a fit of rage, sued him to the yamen, and Li Zicheng was imprisoned, fortunately, the jailer was his good friend, so he found an opportunity and secretly released Li Zicheng.
But after all, it was a prisoner, Li Zicheng naturally did not dare to come out casually, but on the way to hide, Li Zicheng wanted to get angrier and angrier, and even ran to Wenju's house to kill him, and Li Zicheng, who was carrying a human life, immediately went home to pack up his things and prepare to run, but unexpectedly found that his wife Han Jin'er actually got involved with other men and put a green hat on him! In a fit of rage, Li Zicheng killed the adulterer and the adulteress.
Li Zicheng, who had 3 lives on his back, did not dare to stay here, so he left here, and did not expect to meet Wang Zuohang on the road, so he joined the peasant army and became one of them, laying a solid foundation for his future uprising.
During this period, Li Zicheng met the second woman in his life, Xing Shi, and the two married, this woman was brave and intelligent, responsible for managing the military materials of the peasant army, and was deeply loved by Li Zicheng, but what Li Zicheng did not expect was that he was also wearing a green hat - Xing Shi and Li Zicheng's subordinate Gao Jie had an affair. The most infuriating thing is that by the time Li Zicheng discovered this, the two men had already fled and defected to the Ming Dynasty.
Li Zicheng's emotional road is definitely worthy of "three twists and turns", perhaps heaven has mercy on him, and the third woman appears, she is Li Zicheng's only empress Gao Guiying.
It is said that this Gao Guiying is a female Haojie, in order to cooperate with Li Zicheng's peasant army, she also cultivated a "lady army", in the anti-Qing struggle, the "girl army" led by Gao Guiying repeatedly made great achievements and won the respect of everyone, Li Zicheng is from the heart of respect and love for her.
At that time, Li Zicheng was proclaimed king in Xi'an, and after establishing the Dashun regime, he immediately named his wife Gao Guiying as empress, known in history as "Empress Gao", and in the days that followed, the husband and wife were also husbands and wives, advancing and retreating together, and their love was enviable.
But unfortunately, such a good day did not last long, Li Zicheng was hunted down by the Qing army to the jiugong mountain area after only 42 days as emperor, and died in Huangquan. Looking at her dead husband, Gao Guiying knew that she was powerless to return to heaven, but she was still unwilling to surrender, leading the remaining brothers to fight the enemy.
However, the Qing army, which was greatly advanced in numbers, was not in a hurry to kill Gao Guiying and others, and teased Gao Guiying like a monkey, intending to humiliate them, Gao Guiying did not want to endure such humiliation, she took up a torch and set herself on fire. Such a woman is really admirable.
