Hong Chengchou can't give him a definitive conclusion and evaluation in history, in the eyes of most people, he is a traitor, in fact, the result of what he did is indeed a traitor for the Ming Dynasty, for the Southern Ming, and even for the entire Chinese Han nation.

He, like most of the traitors who were loyal to the Manchus, and the traitors who were not very willing to be loyal to the Manchus, and the traitors who were loyal to the Manchus at both ends, all of them led to the redomination of the Han Chinese by the aliens.

In history, he and Fan Wencheng and Feng Quan gave the Manchus the policy of ruling the Han people, and Kong Youde, Geng Jingzhong, and Shang Kexi became the pioneers of their implementation of the policy of determining the country, and they were the opposite of the two sides of the policy of fixing the country.

In terms of merit, he is irreplaceable, even more than Fan Wencheng, who gave advice to Dorgon and helped the Manchus decades ago, but do you want to say that he really defected to the Manchus?

Some later generations believe that he is not really committed to anyone, he only helps himself, in order to realize the theory of a guy named Maslow in later generations, the need for survival, selling dried tofu at the age of 8, exploring officialdom at the age of 11, in order to change his poor fate .......

In the past few decades, the reason why he hid down, quietly waiting for the opportunity, and then encountered the peasant army uprising, suddenly seized the opportunity, made miraculous achievements, showed his talent, and then was favored by Chongzhen, entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and then was provoked by Chongzhen's suspicious method of employing people, and acted for Dolgon, so as to obtain Zhuge Liang's commitment, condescend to seek advice, Corporal Lixian, and finally come up with a national strategy, and roll up his sleeves, personally realize his own suppression and pacification, in order to eliminate the policy of ending the Han people.

After meeting Shunzhi, he repeated the road of cooperation with Chongzhen again, but he stumbled, was forced to retire, lost his favor, and completed his life.

He has come all the way, with only one purpose to realize himself, whether you are the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, change the dynasty, I will resolutely follow the path that I have identified in my heart, what benevolence, righteousness and morality, I only deal with hypocrisy, what fame and fortune, when I need it, I will pursue it, and when I don't need it, I will retreat to protect myself, and the whole person is calm and terrible.

Superficial people think that he is cunning, and only he clearly understands what he needs at every stage of life, he will work hard to get something, if he can't get it, he will think of self-preservation and withdrawal, waiting for the opportunity to come back again, life is not extinguished, and the road of self does not stop.

At this time, Zhang Qiang encountered Hong Chengchou, who was making every effort to realize his policy of determining the country for the Qing court, unscrupulous means, focusing on extermination, hollowing out all the rebel forces of the Ming Dynasty, and finally achieving the goal of pacifying the anti-Qing forces, so as to gain the appreciation of Dolgon of the Qing Dynasty.

But his ability is not unlimited, to deal with the peasant army, to deal with the Ming generals who only want to change the dynasty, I will be a big official, and make a fortune, he is at ease, but when he meets this traverser Zhang Qiang, who wants to dominate the world and has the help of the system, he is at a loss.

Hong Chengchou, who was in Jinling's remote control command of various places, was anxious, and he found that the Huaxia Army was like a slippery mountain rock, no matter how he climbed, he would be thrown down every time, and it was like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and he couldn't beat it or catch it.

No matter how he used counter-tactics or sent troops to attack, he couldn't break a little flesh and skin of the Huaxia army.

He didn't know that Zhang Qiang had put a soft skin on the outside of himself, and the Lu Jian Guoming Army and the Longwu Ming Army, although they were not very strong, they were very elastic.

At the same time, the Yongli Ming army was also indirectly covering and containing Zhang Qiang, so he couldn't touch Zhang Qiang's reality, and provoked the Portuguese and Dutch to harass Zhang Qiang, and it was also the only two opportunities to give Zhang Qiang a stumbling block, but Zhang Qiang broke the void with his strength and smashed it directly, Hong Chengchou lost a lot of fine work and Qing soldiers sent to participate in the two attacks.

This time, taking advantage of the rift in the relationship between the Huaxia Army and Longwu Nanming, Hong Chengchou provoked Su Guansheng to provoke Su Guansheng's relationship with Zhang Qiang and the Longwu Imperial Court, and finally pried open a crack, ready to tear off the coat of Longwu Nanming, the coat of the Huaxia Army, but he didn't want to, Zhang Qiang directly sent troops to attack the Qing army.

The Qing army was defeated so badly, maybe this was not Zhang Qiang's intention, Zhang Qiang just wanted to deal with the Qing army's attack, an instinctive counterattack, but in Hong Chengchou's eyes, it was a sharp strategic attack, an attack that ruined his plan.

Therefore, after Hong Chengchou received a letter of help from the messenger sent by Azig, and after knowing the battlefield situation described by the defeat of the Qing army sent to Jinling, Hong Chengchou pondered and meditated, and had no way to deal with it.

And Feng Quan, who was beside him, didn't have so many scruples and wild ideas, but spoke directly: "Lord Governor, since the siege of Ganzhou has been lifted, why don't you send Kong Youde to save Prince Heshuo?" ”

This is Feng Quan's suggestion to him before, but he didn't want Kong Youde to fight Zhang Qiang, he stared at the map carefully, and slid his hand on the map, "Let Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, go to attack Jianning Mansion, and transfer Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan in Ganzhou Mansion, to lead 30,000 troops to attract the attention of Zhang Qiang of the Huaxia army, let Tan Taibu collect the rout, incorporate the Ming army of Longwu and Nanming, and then go to pursue Longwu and besiege Tingzhou Mansion." ”

After a while, he said: "Jinling sent an army of 50,000 to attack the Ming army of Lujian State, so that they could not take care of each other, and when Bolobel came with a large army, collect the soldiers we recruited, flank the Huaxia army in Shangrao Mansion, and send a part of the army to feint Jinhua Mansion, well, also, Ma Degong's army attacked the Ming army of Zhangzhou Mansion, and several large armies were concurrent, which disturbed the situation. ”

Feng Quan looked at him with admiration, "My lord is wise, in this case, such a rising force as the Huaxia Army will soon be strangled in the cradle by adults, just like the adults exterminated Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues back then." ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said: "The Huaxia army has taken a solid foundation in recent years, this time it may not be able to destroy them, but it will definitely make them break their bones, although the loss of a lot of surrendered Ming troops, may also lose some elite warriors of the Qing Dynasty, but if this war can be won, the southeast can be determined, the following is to find a way to clean up those remnants of Dashun, clean up those remnants, Yongli Imperial Court will naturally die, when the Qing Dynasty complies with the mandate of heaven, maybe it can recreate a prosperous dynasty like Mengyuan." ”

Feng Quan was very excited by what he said, "My lord, this is really eloquent, I'm afraid that Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms will have to bow down." ”

Hong Chengchou laughed cooperatively, and then walked out of the signing room, walking alone in the courtyard, and if you look closely at his face, you will find that he has no excitement at all, just like the Qing Dynasty's recreation of the Mengyuan Shengshi has nothing to do with him.

Hong Chengchou looked up at the starry sky, "Zhang Qiang, what kind of person are you, I may not be able to defeat you this time, but you make me understand, why would you take the initiative to peel off the skin of Longwu?" ”

"What's next for you?"

"Hong Chengchou, how do you choose to be on the right side?"

"Jinhua Righteous Army, now Huaxia Army, do you want to get rid of the Ming Dynasty and establish a dynasty alone?"

"If you don't accept the clear heart, how can you make the Ming people become Chinese people?"

"You can't see through me."
