In a stone decisive battle: Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui, and Dolgon fought for the throne, women and the Central Plains
In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains was full of wars. Li Zicheng, a peasant leader who rose from the grassroots, led the peasant army all the way to the top with enthusiasm and perseverance, and finally broke through the city of Beijing, ending the nearly 300-year rule of the Ming Dynasty. However, just when he thought the world was decided, the wheel of fate turned again.
Wu Sangui outside the Guan, the relict general of the Ming Dynasty, faced a major choice when the country was ruined and his family died. His concubine Chen Yuanyuan was taken captive by Li Zicheng's men, and his family also fell into the hands of the enemy. At this critical juncture of life and death, Wu Sangui chose to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty and use the strength of Dolgon's Qing army to regain the lost territory and save his family.
Dolgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, had always coveted the riches of the Central Plains. He saw the opportunity of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty and Li Zicheng's unstable foothold, and decided to lead the Qing army into the customs and take the Central Plains in one fell swoop. He and Wu Sangui hit it off and jointly planned a battle that shocked China and the rest of the world - a decisive battle of stones.
The site of the battle was on a rocky beach outside Shanhaiguan. Li Zicheng led the exhausted Dashun army, facing Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry and Dolgon's elite Qing army, and the situation was precarious. However, Li Zicheng did not give up, he personally put on the battle and led his subordinates to fight bravely to kill the enemy. However, under the attack of the Qing army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the Dashun army gradually fell into a predicament.
The battle went on fiercely. Li Zicheng's subordinates fought bloodily, but after all, they could not resist the fierce offensive of the Qing army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry. In the melee, Li Zicheng witnessed the scene of Chen Yuanyuan being rescued by Wu Sangui, and his heart was filled with endless grief and anger. He knew that he had no power to return to the sky, and could only watch the country he had worked so hard to build fall into the hands of others.
In the chaos, Li Zicheng led the remnants of the defeated army to flee the battlefield. His heart was full of unwillingness and helplessness, but more of a helplessness and acceptance of fate. He knew that he no longer had the ability to compete for the throne and the Central Plains, so he could only leave this land that once belonged to him with regret and remorse.
Wu Sangui was victorious in the battle, but he did not feel joy and satisfaction. He knew that although he had saved Chen Yuanyuan and his family, he had also lost a lot of precious things. He looked at the corpses strewn on the battlefield and the ruined city, and his heart was full of grief and regret. He knew that this war did not bring real victory and peace, but only caused more people to lose their lives and homes.
Dolgon successfully led the Qing army into the Central Plains and established the rule of the Qing Dynasty. However, he also knows that behind this war is the sacrifice and suffering of countless people. He watched this once prosperous and rich land become devastated, and his heart was also full of heaviness and emotion.
In the decisive battle of this stone, Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui and Dolgon all paid a huge price. They fought endlessly for the throne, the woman, and the Central Plains, but in the end, none of them could achieve true happiness and satisfaction. This war not only changed their fate and the trajectory of their lives, but also left a profound warning to future generations: power and desire are endless abysses, and only by cherishing peace and respecting life can we win true happiness and satisfaction.
In the long river of history, this stone decisive battle was only a brief moment. However, its meaning and warnings will always be etched in people's hearts. Let us remember this history, cherish a peaceful and stable life, and create a better future together.
Epilogue:
The decisive battle of a stone is not only a battle for power and territory, but also a human tragedy about desire, betrayal and sacrifice. It allows us to see the cruelty and ruthlessness of history, and also makes us deeply reflect on the impact of power and desire on human nature. On this rocky beach, the fates of the three protagonists are intertwined, and together they perform an embarrassing historical drama. We can't help but ask: if history could repeat itself, would they have made a different choice? And how can we learn from this and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past? These are questions worth pondering.
