To be fair, Hong Chengchou can be called a genius, first of all, he is very good at fighting.

But he is a civil official, not a military general, he is a Jinshi in the Wanli period, and he participates in the palace examination, which is the highest level of examination, and the difficulty is undoubtedly the greatest. Hong Chengchou got a good result of the fourteenth place in the second class, and was directly given the background of Jinshi, when he was only twenty-four years old.

At first he was out of contact with the army. Because at the beginning he worked in the Criminal Department, starting from a local criminal department chief, this is a small official who is not even as good as the seven-grade sesame official, and later became a member of the Wailang and Langzhong, which has been six years.

Later, he was promoted to study and frugality, which was equivalent to the education and personnel department of later generations, and only a few years later did he go to the local three divisions of the yamen to work in the political envoy department, and when Hong Chengchou led the troops to suppress the thieves for the first time, he was still involved in politics, and he was not an officer at all, which was equivalent to an official of the civil affairs department in later generations.

But he became famous in the first battle, and since then he has been out of control and famous.

However, he is still fundamentally different from Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, he does not understand martial arts, and he is destined not to be able to bring teams like Tianxiong Army and Qin Army without military training.

However, this person is a ruthless character, and in his bones, he can't tolerate a general, but the irony is that he finally became a general, which is really a trick.

When he was the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty to encircle and suppress the thieves, he strongly advocated extermination and opposed appeasement. He is famous for "killing and surrendering", in the process of exterminating the thieves, it is no longer news that thousands of thieves were killed at a time, and it is said that tens of thousands of surrendered thieves were killed by him.

But what he believes in is Confucianism, the Four Books and Five Classics, the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, "Historical Records", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Three Kingdoms", and "Sun Tzu's Art of War", which are his favorite books to read.

It is this contradiction of his that dooms his character to have two sides.

He was an important minister of the Ming Dynasty and had meritorious service in suppressing thieves, but from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, he was a great traitor, because he was defeated and defected in the process of fighting against the Manchu Tartars and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Even those who look at history in later generations, his history in the Ming Dynasty is not glorious, because he suppressed the peasant rebel army, and the means were quite bloody, and the surrenderers had to be killed, and he maintained the decadent rule of the Ming Dynasty, so it was reactionary.

However, from the perspective of historical development, he was another great contributor to promoting the great integration of the Chinese nation, ending the troubled times, promoting the rule of the world, and establishing a unified Manchu dynasty.

His real progress came after the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, because his most significant contribution was to advise the Qing rulers to unify the world, and suggested that the Manchurian rulers use the Ming system, learn Chinese, and know Chinese, which contributed to the "Manchu and Han confluence".

From the perspective of promoting the great integration of the Chinese nation, it has made significant contributions to the development of Chinese history and culture.

Secondly, it shows that he is very good at being an official. He is the first Han prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, which is not comparable to me and Hong Fan Wencheng, although these two people are also scholars, but they did not finally enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, Hong Chengchou's title in the Qing Dynasty is, the crown prince Taibao, the military department of Shangshu, the right deputy capital of the imperial history, the inner courtyard of the auxiliary machine, the southern governor of the military affairs of the university scholar, through the five provinces of the governor of Huguang and other military affairs and management of food and salary, high power, can be seen.

Therefore, it is a highly controversial historical figure.

Now, due to the crossing of the protagonist Lin Yi, the life span of Daming has been extended, and fresh blood has been injected into this historical giant who has been walking for 276 years and is about to die, so that he can complete the phoenix nirvana, be reborn after the catastrophe, and the diseased trees will have new branches, and the dead trees will spring again.

Therefore, it partially changed the trend of history, and also partly changed the fate of Hong Chengchou.

Now the two sides of his personality are exposed.

In his mind, the suppression of thieves and the resistance to the Qing Dynasty are two wars of different natures, the suppression of thieves is exhausted, and the resistance to the Qing Dynasty can be resisted, and if it is really not resisted, it must be admitted defeat.

Therefore, three years ago he was defeated and defected. This is also his choice after his painful struggle, because at the beginning, many high-level Tartars and traitors persuaded him to surrender, and he was scolded away, he wanted to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he died, until the big traitor Fan Wencheng discovered his gas and let the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang break it with a stab.

Grateful to Dade, he planned to make a bold move and show his skills, but he didn't expect to meet Lin Yi's nemesis, and everything would change.

And how similar is the situation of the Qing Dynasty in front of us to the Ming Dynasty three years ago? is the same battle of Ningjin, the same is the supreme commander, and the same is that he was defeated and captured, it is almost the same, as if history repeats itself.

The difference is that Da Ming and Da Qing came to a change, but no matter how they were changed, he was a loser after all.

This made him sitting in the prison car have to think deeply: Why is it always me who fails?

After learning from the pain, Hong Chengchou put aside the disputes over the years, because he felt that the situation in front of him was more chaotic than Fan Wei meeting Zhao Benshan.

The Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are like a pair of enemies, so many years, you fight me, I beat you, in general, there are wins and losses, but the curve is obvious, at first the Ming Dynasty defeated the Qing Dynasty, and then the Qing Dynasty defeated the Ming Dynasty, and now the Ming Dynasty defeated the Qing Dynasty, if this is the law, after a period of time it should be the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, so we should comply with this law, hold on, as long as the Qing Dynasty is in, there will always be a day of rise.

And he, Hong Chengchou, as long as he doesn't die, will always come out!

In this life, he has been sorry for the Ming Dynasty, and he must not be sorry for the Qing Dynasty again, and when Lin Yi did not persuade him to surrender, he made up his mind to be a traitor with discipline.

That is to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, save the Qing Dynasty, and sacrifice dignity at any cost!

This is the background and root of his advice.

Seeing Lin Yi coming, Hong Chengchou said, "How do you plan to change generals with the Qing Dynasty?"

Lin Yi didn't answer, but looked at him with Song Xiance, I don't know what he meant by saying this kind of thing at this time, could it be that this big traitor repented and wanted to change his hexagram?

Hong Chengchou continued: "My lord, there is no other meaning in the bottom. The high righteousness of the adults, in the next deeply moved, this matter is too important to the Ming and the Qing Dynasty, on the way to think of a way to hide from the sky and cross the sea, only for the adults to participate, maybe the adults have already planned for this matter, then it should not be said in the next. ”

Lin Yi and Song Xiance glanced at each other, and they were surprised, this big traitor, is this going to give advice for himself?

He did not agree to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, nor did he persuade him to surrender and submit, that is to say, now they are still their own masters, and the enemies of the two countries have reached a compromise for the time being.

This thing was so new, Lin Yi and Mr. Song were a little incredulous, and then nodded.

"I would like to hear Lord Hong's high opinions." Lin Yi nodded at him kindly.

"The emperor, the queen mother, the regent, don't blame you, it's not that the ministers eat inside and out, capricious. Weichen is saving the Qing Dynasty and making up for his mistakes. In the battle of Ning Jin, Weichen had a negative grace. Weichen knows very well that now I am worried about internal and external troubles in the Qing Dynasty, there is no strategy for strengthening the country inside, there is no general to defend against the enemy outside, the Ming Xiongshi is eyeing the tiger, and the troops are about to come to the city in the near future, then the Beijing division is in danger, like the lamp of the tuyere, which is even worse than the Ming Dynasty a few years ago. Fortunately, there is Lin Yi of the Ming Dynasty, willing to strike the war with the Qing Dynasty, in order to promote this, Weichen endured humiliation and stealing his life, this plan is hidden from the sky and the sea, not intended to deceive the king, to help the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, in exchange for their own survival in the world, it is really a last resort, Weichen all the time do not want to miss the kindness of the Queen Mother and the prince, thank Your Majesty for Longen, as the military department of Shangshu, the right inspection of the imperial history, in its position, seek its government, all the time do not want to revitalize the Qing Dynasty, the enemy outside the country, the loyalty of the micro-ministers, can learn from the sun and the moon......"

Hong Chengchou's heart was surging, and he silently muttered a few words in his heart, and then told Lin Yi and Song Xiance his clever plan.

Sure enough, it's a lie!

Lin Yi never dreamed that this big traitor would really want to give him advice in order to successfully complete the plan of exchanging the dead for the living in front of him.

It's really the biggest in the world, and there are no surprises!

Could it be that this big traitor is so flattering to himself because the Qing Dynasty has been defeated again and again, and he wants to betray the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming Dynasty?

No way! Even if he had this kind of thought, Lin would never allow him!

If so, what is the difference between it and those undisciplined ministers who are full and full and break into each other? The grass on the wall fell with the wind, towards Qin and Dusk, and people despised it. He Hong Chengchou is not even qualified to be a traitor!

Lin Yi thought so in his heart, and praised a few words, because Hong Chengchou's plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea was indeed new, and it could be used, and neither he nor Song Xiance thought of this trick.

Leaving the camp where Hong Chengchou was imprisoned, Lin Yi immediately began to prepare......

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day of the scheduled change of horses between the two sides.

On this day, the weather is sunny, cloudless, the spring is bright, and the distant mountains and rivers are near, as in the painting.

But at this time, no one has the intention to appreciate the charming scenery of the Sancha estuary.

On both sides of the ditch several hundred meters wide, tens of thousands of troops are displayed on the riverside, in a state of confrontation.

Under the sun, swords and guns are like forests, flags are fluttering, and trumpets are flying. The various flags of the Ming Dynasty and the eight military flags of the Qing Dynasty echo each other from afar, and the hunting sounds.

If you look closely, you can still see that there are hundreds of red-coated cannons on display in the artillery camp positions on both sides, and the muzzles of the black holes are aimed at each other. The Ming and Qing armies on both sides of the strait were all in full array.

But today's content is not to charge, attack and defend, but to make a reservation for a change of generals.

Just after midnight, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon and others appeared on the other side of the Cha River.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming army flashed to the side, and Lin Yi, surrounded by Song Xiance, Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Zhang Hua and others, also came to the front of the two armies.

The weather visibility is very high, the light is good, the air is not polluted, and at a distance of several hundred meters, across the narrow Sancha River, the two sides can see each other very clearly.

The eyes of the two sides have already locked on each other, no one needs to introduce them, whether they know each other or not, those who have met and those who have not met, now they all know each other's surnames and ancestors for eight generations.

Because Dolgon Lin Yi has known each other for a long time, and it can even be said that he has been dealing with him for a long time, and his big face of winter melon is really not good-looking, so Lin Yi's eyes certainly fell on the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

Lin Yi saw Xiaozhuang for the first time, his eyes were immediately attracted, Xiaozhuang is a peerless beauty, although he is more than thirty years old, but the half-old, the wind still exists, Lin Yi is really a chic woman, and more importantly, this woman's reputation is too great, in the history of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, no one can stand out, and the fame even overshadows those men of the Aixin Jueluo family such as Dorgon.

Even the Empress Dowager Cixi, who later became famous all over the world, could only look forward to it, because Cixi's fame was mainly notorious and infamy, and she was a sinner of the Chinese nation. And Xiaozhuang is full of positive energy, which can be called the first queen of the Qing Dynasty, which is of course from the perspective of the Qing Dynasty.

Regarding the legend of Xiaozhuang, Lin Yi was not less exposed to it before the crossing, her things were really or fake, or exaggerated or reduced, or distorted the facts, or pretentious, in short, all kinds of directors and actors at all levels worked behind closed doors, racking their brains, searching for dry intestines, and they had already directed and acted rotten, Lin Yi's ears had long been filled, and in the past few years, he has completely integrated into this troubled world, and he is closer to this woman's dominance and has a deeper perception.

But seeing a real person today, Lin Yi felt that it was a feast for his eyes. Because if it weren't for this crossing, it would be difficult to witness the true appearance of the first queen of the Qing Dynasty, let alone face to face her face to face and guide the country.

Therefore, Lin Yi couldn't help but stare at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang a few more times, and his heart fluctuated a little. Lin Yi was even thinking that if he could travel back one day, wouldn't this add to the capital of boasting!

However, Lin Yi secretly scolded in his heart at the first glance when he saw the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, damn, those bad directors and actors in later generations are simply misleading and misacting, no wonder the ratings of film and television dramas are so low, it is pure nonsense!

When Lin Yi was looking at the other party's Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the eyes of this legendary woman were not idle, and she had already noticed Lin Yi, because Dolgon beside her had already pointed her out.

Seeing Lin Yi, this woman was also a little stunned. The name Lin Yi is now a thunderous name in the Qing Dynasty, and even this name can ward off evil spirits.

Xiaozhuang used to only hear its name, but did not see its people, but today it is really extraordinary. This is the god of war dug up in the last days of the Ming Dynasty? Is it the Lin Yi who made their Eight Banners elite and the gods of war at all levels eat turtles repeatedly? The silver-armored robe and red war horse, with the world-famous green dragon glaive knife, see him Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, these famous generals have all come out, if you take off your military uniform, you will be a jade-faced scholar with fine skin and tender meat, like a young man, she is definitely not as old as her, you can't see that the famous Lin Yi is this person?

If it weren't for Dolgon's testimony, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang really couldn't believe her eyes.

The two leader-level figures looked at each other in public for a moment, and Lin Yi spoke first.

"The Queen Mother, the Regent, Lin Yi in the Ming Dynasty, since the two of us have arrived as promised, let's start the matter of changing horses."
