Chapter 746: Righteousness and Righteousness
Fan Wencheng was ordered by his master to persuade Hong Chengchou to surrender, and when he arrived at the house where Hong Chengchou was under house arrest, he asked all the entourage and guards to retreat, and he sat unhurriedly to observe the words and expressions.
Hong Chengchou roared loudly to tell the Qing army not to have wishful thinking, he was ready to be loyal to the country, and persuaded Fan Wencheng to bring a message to his master and give himself a good time as soon as possible.
Fan Wencheng patiently listened to Hong Chengchou's venting, and decided not to mention the matter of surrendering, and then talked with Hong Chengchou about the past and the present, and at the same time quietly paid attention to the details.
While the two were talking, a piece of dust fell from the beam and fell on Hong Chengchou's clothes. Hong Chengchou was talking while "wiping it repeatedly".
Fan Wencheng remained silent, said goodbye, and replied to the master Hongzhi is: "Cheng Chou is immortal." Cheng Chou still cherishes the robe, but what about his body? ”
The red gang accepted the advice of Fan Wencheng, Bao Chengxian, Zhang Wenheng and other big traitors, showing enough patience with Hong Chengchou.
The traitors are indeed the backbone of the destruction of the Han civilization, and they are very familiar with dealing with their own people.
The traitor asked His Majesty to take care of Hong Chengchou and be courteous. Hong Chengchou is not a shameless person, and he will slowly get off the donkey downhill.
A few days later, the red guy went to visit Hong Chengchou in person, and when he saw that he stood up and didn't kneel, he didn't mind stepping forward to ask for warmth, and seeing that Hong Chengchou's clothes were thin, he immediately took off his mink fur and draped it on Hong Chengchou's body.
As a result, the slave chieftain got his wish, the first traitor appeared, and Hong Chengchou became one of the members of the think tank.
Hong Chengchou's surrender directly affected too many Ming civil officials and military generals who were captured in the Battle of Songshan, and those who chose to surrender immediately became the mainstream, and only Ning Qian's military preparation Qiu Minyang, the chief military officer Wang Tingchen, and the deputy generals Jiang Zhu, Yao Xun, Zhu Wende, and a dozen other people would rather die than surrender.
Fought the battle into a half-hanging, the Red Gang did not slaughter Songshan City as in history, he assigned the captured Ming army to the Eight Banners as Aha, leaving the lives of more than a dozen civilian and military generals who refused to surrender.
The last time I bargained with the "God of Killing", I exchanged Zhang Chun for three of my generals, and this time I kept more than a dozen Ming civil and military who refused to defect, and it is unknown whether they would be exchanged for some benefits.
"The outline is eternal, and the righteousness is eternal." Confucian ethics and personal integrity are the basic criteria for evaluating a character in history.
Hong Chengchou read the book of sages and sages into the stomach of a dog, not only could not resist the enemy to serve the country, but also failed to live up to the emperor's kindness and the high hopes of the government and the opposition, and even treasoned to the enemy, of course, he would leave a stench for 10,000 years.
The bad news of the fall of Songshan, Tashan, and Xingshan was reported to the Beijing Division, and the government and the opposition were shocked.
The civil and military generals all thought that Hong Chengchou would die in battle and martyrdom, the emperor was extremely sad, dropped out of the dynasty for three days, and sacrificed Hong Chengchou with princely specifications, "to sacrifice sixteen altars", one altar on seven days, and personally sacrificed, promulgated the "Mourning Hong Sutra" to announce the world.
Hong Chengchou received the greatest honor that a minister could get.
Is this Emperor Chongzhen a problem with his IQ? Why don't you report carefully in such a big move, you want to see people alive and dead to see corpses!
And Chongzhen likes to take it for granted, the highest standard of the Ming Dynasty is about to become a farce.
When the sacrifice reached the ninth altar, the worse news came: Hong Chengchou was cleared! The imperial court hurriedly stopped the sacrifice to Hong Chengchou, and the civil and military officials who came to cry and mourn changed to a recital and a penache against the traitor.
Chongzhen has done too many things to slap himself in the face, from Wei Zhongxian, Yuan Chonghuan to Hong Chengchou, the key is that his talent is limited, he can become a diligent emperor in the peaceful and prosperous times, and he can only become the king of the dead country in the last days, this is fate, and character determines fate.
Just when the Ming thought that the Qing army was bound to enter the customs again and loot, the mission to the 'Nanming' came back, accompanied by the 'Nanming' return visit mission, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were elated to learn that the king of the South was ready to personally lead the troops north to eliminate the Jiannu.
At the court meeting, Chongzhen's pale face was a little bloody, and he asked Liang Tingdong: "Aiqing, did the king of the south really say it himself, this time he sent troops to Liaodong to definitely let Jiannu destroy the country and exterminate the species?" ”
Liang Tingdong said loudly: "Yes, the king of the south is about to launch no less than 300,000 navy and army to attack the city in Liaodong, he shoulders the hatred of the country and the family, and this time he will not fight the snake and not die." ”
Hearing this, the civil and military officials and the emperor all smiled, and Chongzhen said: "Aiqing has worked hard and made great achievements, I don't know what the king of Nan wants?" ”
"Your Majesty, the King of Nan keeps his promise, Da Ming and 'Nan Ming' are connected by blood for the country of brothers, and there is no precondition for him to send troops."
There was an uproar in the court, and many ministers were full of praise for Nanwang's righteous act, and even Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side, was excited.
Chongzhen's heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and it was not in vain that King Nan treated Daming like this, and he married his daughter to him as a concubine.
Chongzhen was not worried about the situation in Liaodong, and asked: "Aiqing, the king of the south is thousands of miles away, when will the soldiers and horses be able to go to Liaodong?" ”
"Your Majesty, the king of the south has issued an order, the garrison of 'Huaxia Island' rushed to the south of Jinzhou as soon as possible to participate in the battle, Liaodong is currently on the defensive, waiting for the army to gather to fight a battle of encirclement and annihilation with superior forces, and leave the Jiannu cavalry as much as possible, so as not to run all over the grassland will increase the difficulty of encirclement and suppression in the future."
Hiss! Both civil and military officials and the emperor made such a voice. Nanwang Tainiu broke down, not only to conquer the city, but also to consider long-term peace and stability, and did not put the thousands of troops and horses of Jiannu in his eyes at all!
In fact, the Ming Dynasty was purely frightened by the Qing army, but they didn't know that this time in the Battle of Songshan, Jiannu was actually broken, and he had no ability to start a big war again in a short time.
Moreover, Jinzhou has not been lost, Ningyuan is still there, and there is a rock-solid beachhead on the seaside sixty miles south of Jinzhou, and there are more than 40,000 soldiers who dare to fight.
Even if "Nanming" doesn't make a move, how the red gangster ends up must have great wisdom.
The Qing army nominally won a great victory, which was equivalent to eating 100,000 Ming troops, but it is an indisputable fact that they lost several large soldiers of the Thousand Eight Banners and 10,000 or 20,000 slave soldiers.
Although tens of thousands of captives were obtained and slave soldiers could continue to be selected, it was impossible for these Ming troops who were forced to surrender to the Qing army to work hard for the Qing army, so the Red Gangsters were deeply aware of the damage to their combat strength, and it was difficult to convince them to launch a large-scale sabotage war again in a short time.
And it is obvious that the slave chief is starting to be afraid, he didn't even dare to do the historical Songshan Massacre, maybe he just wanted to keep a line to facilitate political negotiations later.
The loyal and brave He Kegang still chose to sacrifice his life when he was on the verge of starvation and his comrades-in-arms chose to surrender, which has been verified by history.
Now He Kegang is the chief general of Jinzhou, and he will definitely be able to "the corpse mountain is full of white bones, and the lonely city of ten thousand deaths is not willing to surrender." Message to passers-by to cover their noses, the living are not as fragrant as the dead. ”
How many Eight Banner armor soldiers will die in the Jinzhou offensive and defensive battle? No one can predict whether 30,000 or 50,000 will be able to afford it, the key is whether the Qing army can afford it?
