On April 24, Xingshan fell, and the battle between the Manchus and the Ming Dynasty, centered on Jinzhou, ended in a complete victory for the Manchus.

Huang Taiji was overjoyed, although he had always looked down on the Ming army in Liaodong, but he really didn't expect the battle to win so easily, although the battle was fought for two years, but the casualties of the Qing soldiers were really negligible, but the Ming army, except for a small number of prisoners of war, hundreds of thousands of troops were either killed, or trapped in the city and starved to death.

He knew that after this battle, the Ming Dynasty was temporarily unable to counterattack Liaodong, so he left some soldiers to garrison to protect the Han people in Tuntian, and he returned to the dynasty with the victorious army.

Huang Taiji also has a heart disease, and this heart disease is Hong Chengchou, who was captured in Songshan.

Got sweetness from Han officials such as Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanme, and Zhang Cunren, Huang Taiji has a perverted trust in the Han people, obedient, intelligent, has a sense of the overall situation, and understands the Han people...... The Han people have too many advantages that the Manchu people do not have.

Hong Chengchou is the governor of Jiliao of the Ming Dynasty, the highest-ranking official in Liaodong, and has a high prestige in the imperial court.

However, Hong Chengchou said that he would not surrender anything.

In order to intimidate Hong Chengchou, Huang Taiji beheaded Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, and Wang Tingchen, the chief soldier captured in Songshan, in public, but Hong Chengchou was unmoved and had no choice but to bring Hong Chengchou back to Shengjing.

beauty schemes, intimidation, high-ranking officials, generosity, coercion, and inducement......

Huang Taiji used all the means he could think of, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanme, Meng Qiaofang, Zhang Cunren and other Hanchens were also helpless, but Huang Taiji suspected that in the matter of Hong Chengchou, these Hanchens were probably not completely dedicated, and they didn't know what they were worried about.

Hong Chengchou is iron-clad, and there is only one sentence over and over again: Seek death quickly!

The more he refused to surrender, the more Huang Taiji wanted to get him, among the Han ministers of the Qing Dynasty, most of them were civil ministers and strategists, and a superintendent-level figure like Hong Chengchou, once he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, it was a great blow to the Ming court and the Han people.

The decline of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Qing Dynasty ......

As long as Hong Chengchou submits to the Qing Dynasty, even if he doesn't do anything, he can be worth 100,000 soldiers!

But Hong Chengchou just refused to give in......

Huang Taiji was preoccupied, walked out of the Chongzheng Palace, and prepared to go to the Phoenix Tower to drink and relieve his boredom, he walked with his head down, while still thinking about Hong Chengchou's affairs.

"Your Majesty!"

A crisp sound of Qingyue interrupted Huang Taiji's contemplation, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai.

Bumu Butai is the niece of the middle palace queen Zhezhe, the sister of the late Concubine Hai Lanzhu, although the entry is eleven years earlier than Hai Lanzhu, but Huang Taiji's favorite concubine is still Concubine Chen Hai Lanzhu, Hai Lanzhu lives in the East Palace Guan Ju Palace, and her status in the harem is only below her aunt Zhezhe, ranking second, while Bumu Butai can only temporarily live in the second West Palace Yongfu Palace, and his status among the concubines is only medium.

Huang Taiji frowned lightly and said lightly: "Concubine Zhuang? What are you doing here? ”

"The concubine has been a little panicked in her heart these days, so she asked Gege to accompany her, originally wanted to ride a horse, but Gege didn't let ......"

Gege is Bumu Butai's personal maid, Mongolian name is Su Mo'er (Su Malagu), born in a poor herdsman's family, but at the age of ten she became Bumu Butai's maid, so she is the same sister as Bumu Butai, and Bumu Butai has always called her "Gege" in order to show respect for her.

"Oh!" Huang Taiji replied softly, thinking that he hadn't been to Yongfu Palace for more than ten days, so he said lightly: "Since your health is not good, don't hold on, you should take care of it." ”

"The concubine is much better now, Emperor Xie cares," Bumu Butai blessed his hands, and seeing that Huang Taiji had been frowning, he said: "The emperor is still worried about Hong Chengchou's affairs?" ”

"Hmm," Huang Taiji nodded, "this Hong Chengchou...... It seems that I can only ......"

Bumu Butai suddenly raised a pair of beautiful eyes and said, "Your Majesty, there is really no way?" ”

"No," Huang Taiji shook his head and sighed softly, "Even Fan Wencheng can't convince ......"

"Your Majesty," Bu Mu Butai hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help it, "let the concubine go and try it!" ”

"Concubine Zhuang is sure?" Huang Taiji said strangely: "Even Fan Wencheng and they have all planted their heels, you ...... Why do you think you can persuade you to surrender? ”

Bumu Butai said: "The concubine heard that when Fan Wencheng went to visit Hong Chengchou, a piece of swallow mud happened to fall on the beam and fell on Hong Chengchou's clothes.......

"yes, so what?" Huang Taiji said: "Hong Chengchou is a famous general on the battlefield, so he will naturally cherish his robe!" ”

Bu Mu Butai twisted his body, leaned over and grabbed Huang Taiji's big hand, and said with a smile: "The emperor thinks about it, does a person who is bent on death still care about a battle robe?" ”

"Huh? What does Concubine Zhuang mean? Hong Chengchou didn't really want to die? Huang Taiji seemed to have been fluttering on the vast sea for most of the day, and now he finally grabbed a straw, his eyes suddenly flashed with light, but it disappeared in an instant, he squinted his eyes and shook his head gently, "This Hong Chengchou, who refuses to surrender alive or dead, I know that in his heart, he looks down on Daqing!" ”

Bumu Butai blurted out: "Your Majesty, that's the wrong way to persuade you to surrender......

"Isn't it right?" Huang Taiji was stunned, "What is Concubine Zhuang's method?" If Concubine Zhuang has a way to persuade Hong Chengchou, I will reward you with anything you want. ”

"It is the duty of the concubine to share the emperor's worries," Bumu Butai said: "Maybe the concubine can give it a try......"

"Give it a try?" Huang Taiji said: "How sure is Concubine Zhuang?" ”

Bu Mu Butai thought for a moment, and suddenly gave birth to a jade hand, opened five white and tender fingers like the tips of green onions, and said, "Fifty percent!" ”

"Fifty percent? So much? Huang Taiji was overjoyed, held Bumu Butai's fingertips in his fingers, shook her arm and said, "Concubine Zhuang, tell me, what do you do?" ”

"Give the concubine a night's time," Bumu Butai was shaken so dizzy, she barely stabilized her figure, her teeth gently bit her red lip, thought for a moment, and finally said: "The Han people have a saying, called 'heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass'......"

"You ......" Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, he pushed Bumu Butai away, pointed at her nose with his finger, and was so angry that he couldn't speak, and after half a sound, he finally let out a long breath, turned around and deliberately didn't look at Bumu Butai, "If you use beauty...... I sent ten beauties to Hong Chengchou several times, and even locked them up together, but unfortunately Hong Chengchou was unmoved......"

Bumu Butai's heart was also very nervous, but she still mustered up the courage and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou is not an ordinary military general, he was born as a civil official, and he will only be tempted by the woman who walks into his heart...... Some things must be said in person to move people's hearts, these beauties can't speak Chinese, only a pair of skins......"

Huang Taiji turned his body around, faced Bumu Butai, looked at it for a long time, and said: "Concubine Zhuang said, are you fifty percent sure?" ”

"At least fifty percent," Bu Mu Butai couldn't say for sure, but she had already let go, and she couldn't retreat at the moment, "Besides, if the concubine can't convince Hong Chengchou, the emperor won't have anything to lose......

Huang Taiji sighed secretly, but he wanted to conquer Hong Chengchou too much, so he closed his eyes and muttered, "Okay, I'll give you a night's time......"

"Concubine, thank you for the emperor's trust!" Bumu Butai blessed Huang Taiji, raised his head and glanced at Huang Taiji, "Concubine, go back and prepare......" She turned around, took Su Mo'er's little hand, and walked back to Yongfu Palace quickly.

Entering Yongfu Palace and closing the palace door, Su Mo'er patted his chest and complained: "Concubine Zhuang, the maid was scared to death just now...... Why did the mother make such a decision...... The emperor was originally ...... to Niangniang It's good if you can persuade Hong Chengchou, but if you can't, you can't persuade Hong Chengchou...... Wouldn't the emperor want to resent his mother for the rest of his life? ”

Bu Mu Butai also patted Su Mo'er's chest and said with a smile: "Gege, don't worry, if I can persuade Hong Chengchou to surrender, maybe the emperor will be grateful to me......"

"What if persuasion fails?" Su Mo'er suddenly rolled her eyes, she had always treated Bumu Butai as her sister, and she was anxious for her!

"Therefore, we must now make all preparations to improve our certainty of success," Bumu Butai: "Gege, serve me to bathe first, and add more flowers and leaves to the water!" ”

"Concubine Zhuang," Su Mo'er said, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”

"I know, I'm recruiting Hong Chengchou for the emperor," Bumu Butai raised his chin lightly and acted like a little daughter, "Gege, you won't understand how important Hong Chengchou is to the emperor......"

"No matter how important you are, you can't catch yourself, you are Concubine Zhuang's mother......"

"Didn't the emperor agree?"

"The emperor is now for Hong Chengchou," Su Mo'er glanced at Bumu Butai and said, "When the emperor gets Hong Chengchou, what can the mother do?" ”

"Gege, you don't know the emperor, he can give up everything in order to get what he wants," Bumu Butai didn't bother to explain to Su Mo'er, "Okay, okay, don't be verbose, go and prepare hot water, I still have to deliver food to General Hong!" ”

"Mother, have you really thought about it?"

"In front of the emperor, I thought about it," Bu Mu Butai dissolved his hair and hung down like a waterfall, "Gege, you say, I dissolve the green silk and put it on the top of my head, is it more like a maid?" ”

"Maid?" Su Mo'er was puzzled, "Niangniang plans to pretend to be a maid?" ”

"Yes, pretending to be a maid, General Hong will not be wary of me," Bumu Butai said with a smile, "After the bath, I will put on your costume, huh...... Just that pale pink wide-sleeved long dress, with a peach green belt, how about wearing it on me, it has some Han charm, right? ”

Su Mo'er was a little sad, she knew that Concubine Zhuang had made a big bet for the emperor, and if she failed, she was afraid that this life would be ...... He can still laugh!

Now that Concubine Zhuang has made up her mind, she can only choose to support and believe, "Niangniang is so beautiful, if she has just come out of the bath and exudes a faint fragrance, Hong Chengchou is the reincarnation of the gods, and she will be fascinated!" ”

"You are wrong, Gege, Hong Chengchou is the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, with a noble status, will there be fewer Han women he has seen?" Bu Mu Butai shook his head lightly, "He has the heart of death again, so the key is the human heart, except for the heart of a woman, nothing can move him!" ”

"That'...... The servant went to prepare hot water......" Su Mo'er hesitated for a moment, but turned around and retreated.

After soaking in a hot bath for a while, Bumu Butai was all over the body, how to deal with Hong Chengchou, she already had a general strategy, so she asked Su Mo'er to prepare a dinner, a glass of mare's milk wine, and served it in a food niche, "Gege, wait for my message!" ”

Su Mo'er couldn't bear it, and in her heart, the sense of fear became stronger and stronger, "Niangniang is ready?" It's too late to turn back......"

Is there a turning back? There have been ripples in the emperor's heart, and now he is fighting hard to win Hong Chengchou, the emperor will definitely be better to himself in the future, if he gives up now, the thorn in the emperor's heart ......

Bumu Butai looked at the bronze mirror, looked left and right, adjusted his eyes to just right, and felt very satisfied, before he smiled: "Gege, it's getting dark, prepare a lantern for me!" ”

Su Mo'er took the lantern, lit the candle inside, and said, "Niangniang, the maid will send it to you!" ”

"It's okay," Bumu Butai said, "Yongfu Palace is some distance away from the capital city god temple. ”

At this time, the sky was slightly dark, Su Mo'er held a lantern in front, Bumu Butai carried the food niche behind, out of Yongfu Palace, on the Drum Tower South Street, all the way without a word, bypassing the Drum Tower, turning east, stepping on the middle street, not far away is the capital city god temple.
