The ancients said, "A king loses a king." It is true that rulers have always been born reckless, forced by the times, to rise up, and after arduous struggle, they can reach the peak of power. In the past years and the end of the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters were continuous, and the people were not happy, so the government not only did not reduce taxes and servitude, but increased the collection of harsh and miscellaneous taxes, causing the people to suffer unspeakably. Under the pressure there must be strong, and at this time there were many peasant rebels in the people, who organized their compatriots who were also suffering and rebelled against tyranny.
Among these militias, the most prominent and largest army is the army led by Li Zicheng. In the early days, Li Zicheng's troops could not yet clash head-on with the official army, but with the continuous expansion of scale, his strength also began to metamorphose, and the Ming army that fought thereafter was defeated and retreated, and eventually entered the guanguan and became emperor. Unfortunately, Li Zicheng's emperor was killed at Nine Palace Mountain for only 42 days. After Li Zicheng's death, what happened to empress Gao who followed him?
As an authentic Shaanxi native, Li Zicheng's family has lived for generations in a village called Li Jiqian, 200 miles west of the Mizhi River. In addition, the early Love Road of Li Zicheng was not smooth. Before the uprising, he married a woman named Han Jin. Unfortunately, shortly after marriage, his wife put a green hat on him. When Li Zicheng went out to run an errand, the Gaihu dry firewood in the same village was mixed together. When Li Zicheng learned of this, he became angry and killed the adulterers and adulteresses.
But no, the tragic fate happened to him again. After Li Zicheng remarried a woman of the Criminal Clan, he thought that he could accompany the other party to the end of his life, but he did not want to get his wife together with his subordinate Gao Jie during the uprising. Without waiting for Li Zicheng to find out, the two held hands like a pair of Mandarin ducks and defected to the Ming Dynasty. And after this, he and Li Zicheng resolutely stood on the opposite side and fought against each other.
Li Zicheng's head was almost green and shiny, and just when he was almost desperate for his feelings, at this time he finally met his true destiny. He has helped Li Zicheng in his career several times. After Li Zicheng ascended the throne, she was made empress, and she was Gao Guiying. The reason why she can meet Gao Guiying is that she is inextricably linked to her younger brother Gao Yigong. In the early years, Li Zicheng was arrested and imprisoned for killing hooligans, and it was none other than Gao Yigong who was responsible for guarding Li Zicheng at that time.
He and Li Zicheng saw each other as before and successfully married as brothers in life and death. And Gao Yigong also realized that the man in front of him was far from being a thing in the pool, and in the next day, he was a dragon and phoenix among those who were going to soar into the sky. After some thought, Gao Yigong opened Li Zicheng's shackles and fled with him to Hulu Mountain.
The reason why I chose to flee to Hulu Mountain is precisely because it is very remote and the mountain is rich in grass and trees, which is suitable for hiding. After suffering together, Gao Yigong entrusted Li Zicheng to his sister in his family to take care of it on his behalf. This was Li Zicheng's first encounter with Gao Guiying. For the heroic man in front of him, Gao Guiying was in love with him, and at that time he secretly vowed in his heart that he must marry him. After her careful care, Li Zicheng quickly recovered his health.
During these days, the two had a good feeling for each other, but there was always a horizontal bar inserted between the two. That is Gao Guiying's identity. Gao Guiying was already married to a human wife, but later her husband had an accident and died in a foreign country. Since then, she has become a widow. However, Li Zicheng himself has also experienced several failed feelings, considering Gao Guiying's heart for himself, Li Zicheng does not care about these false names, so he exchanged heartfelt complaints with Gao Guiying and married him.
Soon after, Li Zicheng's escape from Hulushan was discovered by the government. And mobilized a large number of people and horses to arrest. In order to help her husband escape smoothly, Gao Guiying took him to his uncle Gao Yingxiang in Yan'an. After that, he officially introduced Li Zicheng and his uncle. At this time, Li Zicheng also began to plan and organize rebel armies to rebel against the brutal rule of the Ming Dynasty. After the couple conspired, they unified their goals and began to actively prepare. After Gao Yingxiang's death, Li Zicheng successfully took over his army. In order to better assist her husband, Gao Guiying also began to form a army of women and daughters, repeatedly charging into the front and never backing down. In 1644, Li Zicheng entered the customs and declared himself emperor in Xi'an. The name of the country is: Da Shun, the number Yongchang.
Soon after Li Zicheng became emperor, he personally crowned Gao Guiying, who had fought with him on the battlefield, as empress. Although he was successfully proclaimed emperor, Li Zicheng's good luck seemed to have run out. Shortly after entering Beijing, he encountered the Qing army, and after the defeat of the army, led the remnants to flee south. During this time, Gao Guiying also followed Li Zicheng closely, and believed that Li Zicheng still had the strength to fight a battle, but unexpectedly in the Nine Palace Mountains, Li Zicheng was killed by the Qing soldiers who were ambushed here. Since Li Zicheng is dead, what is the fate that awaits Gao Guiying?
After her husband's death, Gao Guiying continued to lead the remnants of the Li family in fierce battles with the Qing soldiers, and achieved considerable results in some battles. Later, she was given the title of Lady Jiexiao Zhenyi Yipin, and the army she commanded was also known as the Zhongzhen Army. It is a pity that the Qing Dynasty's victory over the Central Plains is already the trend of the times, and the remnants led by Gao Guiying alone do not have the strength to fight against him. At the time when Guangsha was about to fall, in order to avoid the Qing army's insult to herself and keep her own honor, Gao Guiying lit a fire and set herself on fire and died, which can also be regarded as fulfilling her relationship with Li Zicheng
