The traitor who defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty was killed by Fang Yuan and bled like a river, and the only remaining person was Hong Chengchou.

Regarding whether to kill Hong Chengchou or not, Fang Yuan was obviously still quite hesitant.

Hong Chengchou Songjin was defeated and captured, but he still scolded and did not surrender, if Huang Taiji killed him at this time, who would dare to say that Hong Chengchou was not loyal and righteous? In other words, if Shi Kefa and Huang Daozhou did not meet the ruthless Dolgon and Duoduo, but met the tolerant Huang Taiji, these two people would still not be images in history, who can say for sure?

What's more, after Hong Chengchou surrendered to Huang Taiji, he was not promoted and reused, which also shows that he just surrendered, and did not actively give advice to Huang Taiji in exchange for glory and wealth.

In Fang Yuan's view, if Hong Chengchou has any faults, it is that he is the only one who has died through the ages, and after he was captured, he did not have the determination to die, and finally became the image of a traitor in history.

Fang Yuan asked Hong Chengchou to bring him in and looked him up and down.

Hong Chengchou faced the bloody butcher's knife pulled out by Fang Yuan, but he still maintained his usual calm, without the slightest fear.

Fang Yuan asked slowly, "It turned out to be Elder Hong Ge, you will betray the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty for a while, and then go to Liaodong to hide, and rebel repeatedly, what are you doing?!" ”

When he opened his mouth to call Hong Ge Lao, he was ridiculing Hong Chengchou, and Hong Chengchou said loudly, "Fang Yuan, aren't you also a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty for a while, and a chaotic minister and thief of the Ming Dynasty for a while, what are you doing?" ”

People are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, Hong Chengchou dared to collide with Fang Yuan face to face, just begging for death.

Jing Jie, Ma Yishan and others saw that Fang Yuan had killed all the traitors, and Hong Chengchou dared to take the initiative to come up to find death, he was sure to die.

I didn't think about Fang Yuan, but I didn't laugh angrily, "Elder Hong Ge, you Songjin was defeated, but instead of martyrdom, you surrendered, do you have the face to call me a rebellious minister and thief?" ”

Hong Chengchou said solemnly, "Zu Dashou is not also a rebel, during the Battle of Songjin, he still dragged the Manchu Tartars in Jinzhou for one or two years. The old minister is just keeping his useful body and waiting for the opportunity to return to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Fang Yuan thought that his explanation was still more than half credible, and it was not completely clever words. Hong Chengchou was really reused, in fact, after the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had already swept the north, and the Southern and Ming regimes in Jiangnan were still fighting in the south, and the general trend of the world had been decided. What's more, during the period when he was in charge of Jiangnan, he did have the merit of preserving Jiangnan, and if he was replaced by Wu Sangui and Li Chengdong's gang, it is estimated that Jiangnan would have been killed like a river of blood.

Fang Yuan continued to ask, "Elder Hong Ge did return to the Ming Dynasty, but the first thing he did was to force His Majesty to return to the harem. Is this too faithful? Scold! ”

Hong Chengchou retorted, "Fang Yuan, is it me who forced His Majesty to return to the harem?" I have so much power? Obviously, His Majesty blindly favored and reused you, a chaotic minister and thief, which caused the public indignation of the courtiers, and the joint resolution of the Cabinet, the Six Ministries, and the Five Military Governors' Offices. This is the desire of the people, and how can I control it alone? Fang Yuan, you are a sin that you want to add! ”

His explanation, Fang Yuan also recognized, there was only one reason why Chongzhen was forced to return to the harem, that is, what Fang Yuan did in Jiangnan had already damaged the interests of hundreds of officials. The hundred officials need to introduce a Zhu Cihong who can really represent the interests of the officials to confront Fang Yuan, Hong Chengchou is at most adding fuel to the fire, to say that he is the first offender, it is indeed a forcible crime.

Fang Yuan said slowly, "So Elder Hong Ge has always regarded our Yuan as a thorn in his side, poisoning me for a while, inciting internal strife in Jiangnan for a while, and doing everything to kill me?!" ”

Hong Chengchou retorted, "I'm just doing my best for the Ming Dynasty!" If it doesn't work, it's just death. Fang Yuan, you want to kill quickly! ”

Fang Yuan asked rhetorically, "Until this moment, Elder Hong Ge still insists that I was originally a rebellious minister and thief of the Ming Dynasty, and killing me is to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty?!" ”

Hong Chengchou looked at Emperor Chongzhen beside him, and said lightly, "Fang Yuan, are you a chaotic minister and thief, I don't count if I say it, Your Majesty has a clear judgment." ”

Fang Yuan said secretly, this old fox did not answer positively, but even kicked the ball to Chongzhen.

Hong Chengchou continued, "Fang Yuan, I asked myself if I could not escape death, but I have never betrayed the Ming Dynasty, let alone my family, if you want to kill me!" ”

Fang Yuan stared straight at him, his murderous aura swept by, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Elder Hong Ge, do you think my strategy to pacify Liaodong is still feasible?!" ”

Hong Chengchou was slightly stunned, met his gaze, and said truthfully, "Killing Han officials is too much, one death is enough, why bother to kill Ling, let alone harm your family, and cut off your children and grandchildren?" ”

He didn't know at all that Fang Yuan's brutal killing was just a hatred of blood history, and he didn't bother with him, "Elder Hong Ge, I'm asking you, is the strategy I have implemented to stabilize Liaodong feasible?" ”

Fang Yuan suddenly asked about the strategy to stabilize Liaodong, and he didn't seem to have the idea of executing himself, Hong Chengchou's eyes flickered, and he muttered, "Fang Yuan, the assimilation policy you practiced is a superior policy, and it coincides with what I think. However, this is also only on paper after all, and the key to success lies in whether a suitable supervisor can be appointed. Because none of these Jurchens and Mongols were fuel-efficient lamps, if the assimilation work was not done well, it would provoke greater resistance. ”

Fang Yuan nodded again and again when he heard this, what Hong Chengchou said was exactly what Fang Yuan was worried about. The supervision of these alien races is obviously not as good as the conquest of the Central Plains. If there is no suitable candidate to sit in Liaodong, it is indeed a thorny problem.

In Fang Yuan's mind, in terms of talent, there was no one on the right side of Hong Chengchou among the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Hong Chengchou is the best candidate for the governor of Liaodong, he has been in Liaodong for many years, and is familiar with Fan Wencheng and others, such as those generals under Fang Yuan's command, and the officials of the court know more about the customs and customs of Liaodong. Moreover, Hong Chengchou is a capable minister, he can help the Manchu governor of Jiangnan, and naturally he can also help the Ming governor of Liaodong.

However, Fang Yuan still had a slight concern about promoting Hong Chengchou. First, although this person is capable, he has a bad reputation, and using him will affect Fang Yuan's reputation; The second is that Zhang Ying and Zhao Quanzhong under Fang Yuan's command are all staring at the post of governor of Liaodong, which is also Fang Yuan's promise in advance. Now that he wants to promote a subordinate who has repeatedly rebelled, how can he serve the public?

Fang Yuan couldn't make a decision for a while, so he asked Hong Chengchou to be taken down first, raised with the courtesy of an official, and waited to be summoned again.

After the banquet in the palace that night, Fang Yuan ordered Duoduo, Azig, and Jidu to burn down the Shengjing Palace, which represented the Manchu regime.

The burning of the imperial palace represented the official fall of the Manchu regime and cut off the last thoughts of the Jurchens, lest anyone else be ready to move.

To make Dordor attack them, that is to ask them to carry the black cauldron and make their reputation screwed.

Duoduo and Azig were very reluctant to this arrangement, but the surrender was nearing completion, and they could immediately go to Hetuara as emperors. At this juncture, it is very unwise to offend Fang Yuan again because of this trivial matter, and it is very unwise to live a trivial matter.

In desperation, Duoduo and Azig had no choice but to order the two white flag sergeants to start setting fire to the palace.

The raging flames of the Shengjing Imperial Palace burned for three days and three nights, and the Shengjing Imperial Palace, which represented the Manchu imperial power, was finally burned down in the fire!
