It's an unusual rhythm.

Zhang Dingguo felt a little strange.

It's often quiet before a big war, but that's too calm, isn't it?

Could it be that all the Qing troops will not be able to fly to the sky and escape from the earth?

And the stepfather didn't contact him for several days.

Even if nothing big happens in Huaiqing, it shouldn't be.

According to their previous agreement, they should contact at least once every two days.

Zhang Dingguo sent someone to ask Zhang Nengqi, who was also stationed in Daba Mountain, and the reply was that he had not received any news from Huaiqing.

Zhang Dingguo couldn't sit still.

There must be a demon when something happens, let alone such a demonic thing.

Zhang Dingguo decided to personally lead 10,000 people to Huaiqing to have a look, and the rest continued to stay.

With Zhang Nengqi, there shouldn't be any big mess.

...

...

Zhang Kewang's breakthrough was successful.

The attention of the Qing army was focused on the northern city, and the defense of the southern city was very thin.

Suddenly, the city gate opened, and thousands of flying horses rushed out, and the Qing army did not react at all.

By the time they realized what was too late, they could only watch Zhang Kewang lead a group of relatives to escape.

Hong Chengchou was furious when he heard the news.

Zhang Kewang is a person with high prestige in the Western Army camp, and letting him escape like this is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain.

But now that the wood is in the boat, there is no point in holding them accountable. It's better to take the opportunity to take down Boryeong City as soon as possible.

Zhang Kewang's escape at this time shows that Zhang Xianzhong is either dead or seriously injured, and now there must be a group of dragons without a leader in Baoning City, and there is chaos.

"Pass on the order of the governor, open the city gate, and leave no soldiers and civilians in the city!"

The Qing army encountered fierce resistance in the process of attacking Huaiqing, and according to the policy of the Qing army, after breaking the city, it was bound to carry out a brutal massacre.

This is to deter those who try to resist, so that the next siege will be minimized.

As for the ordinary people in Huaiqing City, although they are a little pitiful, it is not a pity to die.

Ci is not in charge of the army, if he encounters anything, he has scruples, how can he lead the troops to fight when he shrinks his head and tail.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with these people themselves, and if you have to find out one mistake, it is born in Huaiqing.

The resistance of the Western army led to the Qing army's necessity to kill people and establish their authority, and these people were the victims.

Kill it, after killing a group of people, they will be at ease, and they will all compete to be the obedient people of the Qing Dynasty, and they will never resist again.

This is exactly what Hong Chengchou wants to see.

Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it has encountered varying degrees of resistance in various parts of the north.

Although these turmoil were eventually quelled, they still caused a lot of shock to the Qing court.

Dolgon had asked Ce Hong how to deal with this endless rebellion.

Hong Chengchou's answer is one word, kill!

The one who kills is broken, and the one who kills is on his knees and begs for mercy.

Dolgon adopted Hong Chengchou's suggestion, which led to the later sweeping sweep of the Qing army in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Every time they arrived in a city, someone would rush to open the city gate to welcome the Qing army into the city.

Now that the Qing army wants to seize Sichuan, Hong Chengchou is the commander-in-chief, and this strategy naturally cannot be changed.

In the sound of fighting, the Qing army had already opened the city gate and poured in like a tide.

It won't be long before the city belongs to the Qing Dynasty.

It won't be long before Chengdu will fall into the hands of the Qing Dynasty, followed by Chongqing, and the whole of Sichuan.

After taking Sichuan, the Qing army could directly descend the river and attack Huguang.

This is Hong Chengchou's real purpose.

Capture Huguang and open the granary!

...

...

It's time to Nanjing!

Zheng Chenggong let out a long sigh.

Looking up at the city tower, Zheng Chenggong actually had a feeling of being in a different world.

When he left Nanjing, he was still in high spirits, but now he is disheartened. Such a big change has taken place in just over half a year, of course, thanks to his father Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Chenggong couldn't help laughing at himself, everyone else was a son cheating his father, but he caught up with his father's son.

Now his father has been convicted of fornicating with the East and has stood on the opposite side of the court.

After some difficult struggles and fierce ideological struggles, Zheng Chenggong decided to join forces with Zhang Kentang, the governor of Denglai, to impeach his father.

As soon as this omission came out, it was not only an uproar in the government and the opposition, but also caused an uproar in the Denglai Naval Division.

It was hard for them to imagine that the father of the little marquis who fought side by side with them on weekdays would be a traitor who secretly communicated with the East and betrayed the country.

Of course, they were also very impressed.

The little marquis was able to kill his relatives in righteousness and personally impeach Zheng Zhilong.

He made the right choice between his family and his country, between loyalty and filial piety.

But Zheng Chenggong himself felt that it was difficult to deal with himself in the Denglai Water Division anymore.

He always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him, which made him feel out of breath.

So he decided to leave and personally went to Nanjing to plead guilty to the Son of Heaven.

The father's debt should be paid by the son, and the father's sins should be paid by the son.

Of course, Zheng Chenggong knew that this kind of thing had happened, and it was impossible for his father to be pardoned. But he still wants to save the Zheng family to the greatest extent through his own efforts.

The fault is more the fault of the father alone, not the fault of the Zheng family.

If he had to be punished, he would have punished his father.

The Son of Heaven is Zheng Chenggong's mentor, and Zheng Chenggong believes that with the Son of Heaven's Heavenly Vertical Sage, he will definitely be able to make the most reasonable decision.

After coming to Nanjing City, Zheng Chenggong did not go directly to the Huangming Military Academy.

When this kind of thing happens, it is really difficult for him to face his former classmates and friends.

He went directly to the Imperial City to ask for a face.

After learning Zheng Chenggong's identity, the guards of the imperial city immediately went to report it.

Soon came the news that the Son of Heaven had summoned Zheng Chenggong to the palace for an audience.

Zheng Chenggong took a deep breath to calm himself, and then followed the chamberlain into the palace to meet him.

The distance from the imperial city to the palace city, from the outer palace to the inner palace is very long, but Zheng Chenggong can remember every step clearly.

He lived over and over in his heart what he was going to say when he was facing the saint, and his heart was very heavy.

In a trance, he had lost track of time.

Until the waiter said in an extremely warm voice: "Little Hou Ye, it's here." Your Majesty is not in a very good mood, so be careful. ”

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly thanked: "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me." ”

He shook his robe, took a deep breath, and paced towards the platform of the Qianqing Palace.

He walked up the stairs steadily, and the moment he entered the main hall was very relieved.

After entering the warm pavilion, Zheng Chenggong knelt down at Zhu Cihong, who was dressed in the casual clothes of the four dragons, and saluted like a ritual.

"Zheng Chenggong, the criminal minister, pays a visit to Your Majesty."

He thought that the Son of Heaven would be furious, but who would have thought that the Son of Heaven would come to him and personally help him up.

"What is Aiqing's crime?"

Zhu Cihong said lightly: "I have already seen the piece of music you played. You can rest assured, I will definitely order Jinyiwei to find out the truth of the matter, and I will not wronged a good person or let go of a bad person. ”
