When Hong Chengji sat down with a teacup, his pale face eased. Fastest updates

Although he has led his troops to fight for many years, he has never been so close to death as he was just now. Although he now understood that the other party did not really want to kill him, but just gave him a dismount, he still felt a deep fear.

He longs for success, for power, for that feeling of being in a strategic position. But in that moment, it was almost gone from him forever.

"Mr. Hong, I was frightened just now, please drink tea." The man in white on the opposite side smiled heartily at him and raised his teacup to signal.

Hong Chengchou looked at the crude white porcelain teacup in his hand, and the yellow tea in the cup, obviously incomparable with the blue and white porcelain tea set of the official kiln on his weekdays, and it was not the West Lake Longjing that he was used to drinking every day.

Jiang Chuan actually had the idea of giving this person a dismount when he heard that Yuan Chonghuan sent Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou was a controversial figure in the original history, originally the minister of the Ming Dynasty, after the death of Yuan Chonghuan, he presided over the war in Liaodong, and the official was the governor of Jiliao.

Later, after the defeat in the Battle of Songjin, he was captured by the Qing army, and finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after the persuasion of Huang Taiji, and became the vanguard of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to enter the customs and Dingding Central Plains, and it can be said that he made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to unify the world.

Speaking from the heart, regardless of temperament, this person is indeed capable. When he was in Guannai, he served as the governor of the three sides, and led people to chase Li Zicheng everywhere. Later, he went to Liaodong and fought with the Qing army, and the Qing army was almost unable to parry. If it weren't for the Qing army's sneak attack on the Ming army's grain depot hidden in Bijia Mountain, the situation in Liaodong would have really been rewritten.

Maybe there will be no later Manchu Qing entry, and the Ming Dynasty will be able to survive for a while.

After this was captured, at the beginning, he also kept saying that he wanted to be a loyal martyr of the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Taiji kept sending people to persuade him to surrender, but he was indifferent.

But later, it was Huang Taiji's Concubine Zhuang, that is, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who was respected by many Qing fans in later generations, and was sent by Huang Taiji to persuade her to surrender and came back and said: "This person's integrity is pretended, and it won't be long before he surrenders to my Qing Dynasty." ”

Sure enough, within a few days, Hong Chengyi willingly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and no one tortured him, it was he who "figured it out" and didn't want to be a loyal martyr to the Ming Dynasty.

Where did Concubine Zhuang's words come from, but when she went in to persuade her to surrender, she happened to see some soil falling from the beams of the house and falling on Hong Chengchou's clothes. And Hong Chengchou hurriedly slapped off the soil with his hands.

Concubine Zhuang's analysis is that a person who keeps shouting to dedicate himself to Daming can still cherish his clothes and image so much, obviously this is a person who likes to enjoy, this kind of person is generally more life-saving, and the so-called integrity is a cover for shame.

Of course, later events also proved that Concubine Zhuang's judgment was correct. Hong Chengchou is indeed a person who can enjoy it very much, and since then he has been loyal to the master of the Qing Dynasty and has done his best.

It's a pity that the Qing Dynasty to whom he was loyal did not regard him as a loyal minister, and later Qianlong had someone compile a "Biography of the Second Minister", which included all the Hanchens who were first ministers in the Ming Dynasty like Hong Chengchou, and later worked hard for the Qing Dynasty. And Hong Chengchou is also at the top of the list of ministers because of his outstanding contributions to the Qing Dynasty.

I don't know if this person regretted his choice after knowing it underground.

Therefore, seeing this famous traitor in history sitting opposite him in this time and space at this moment, Jiang Chuan suddenly had a ridiculous feeling in his heart.

He was thinking that if the world hadn't been born out of nowhere and intervened, would history repeat itself, and would Hong Chengchou be a traitor again.

When Jiang Chuan was looking at Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengqian also began to observe the leader of the "horse thief".

He didn't expect that this "thief leader" who relieved the siege of Datong, attacked Liaoyang, and made the 30,000 Tartar army return with a feather in the feathers would be so young, he looked only about twenty years old, and his eyebrows were handsome, and his demeanor was extraordinary, he looked more like a handsome man, not at all as rude and fierce as he originally imagined.

But when he thought of the arrow that almost killed him just now, Hong Chengyi was a little afraid.

It's really a person who can't be disguised, and the ancients didn't deceive me. Hong Chengyi sighed in his heart.

Jiang Chuan suddenly put down the teacup and said with a slight smile: "General Hong is famous, I have heard of it a long time ago." ”

Hong Chengchou was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that his name was known to even a "horse thief" leader outside the gate, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and said modestly: "Leader Jiang has a good reputation, it's just some false names, and it all depends on the love of Inspector Yuan." ”

Jiang Chuan smiled, hearing this guy call himself the leader, he knew that in the heart of the Ming army, he still regarded himself as a horse thief. Even if he made the Tartars deflated again and again, in the eyes of the Ming army, he was just a horse thief with stronger combat effectiveness, and he was quite unhappy in his heart.

"Mr. Hong, don't be presumptuous, I don't only know your name, the people of the world can be said to be known to everyone, no one knows, and even hundreds of years later, future generations often still talk about your name. You're much more famous than that Inspector Yuan. Jiang Chuan smiled, his words seemed to be praising Hong Chengchou, but it was quite awkward in Hong Chengchou's ears, and he felt that this person seemed to be quite sarcastic in his words.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, it was inconvenient to ask more, so he had to smile awkwardly.

Jiang Chuan was talking about his notoriety in the original history, and he naturally couldn't understand it.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Jiang Chuan smiled faintly and asked, "I don't know if Mr. Hong came to me this time, why did you do it?" ”

Hong Chengyi was also relieved when he heard that he had finally mentioned the matter, straightened up and said with a reserved smile: "This official came this time to thank Chief Jiang for blocking the Tartar artillery team last time and relieving the siege of Datong. ”

When Hong Chengchou said this, he stopped and looked at Jiang Chuan reservedly, hoping that this person could make some exciting and exciting magic to respond to him, so that the following words could be said.

However, the reaction of the person in front of him was extremely bland, just a faint "oh", and then he picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying slowly: "It turns out that Inspector Yuan also knows that it is my credit?" I don't know how many gifts Mr. Hong brought to thank me this time? Is it 100,000 stone of grain, or 1 million taels of military expenses? In the past few battles against the Tartars, our army has consumed countless amounts of food and wages. If Inspector Yuan can understand me, then I will be truly grateful. ”

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he glanced at Hong Chengchou, but saw Hong Chengchou's face flushed, and his face was full of embarrassment.

When he came here, he brought a handwritten letter from Yuan Chonghuan, which can be regarded as a letter of appointment, where is there any food and military salary.

The scene suddenly fell into embarrassment.
