Chapter 745: Hong Chengchou is captured
Huang Sheng heard that Liang Tingdong and Wu Xiang asked to see each other, and directly arranged for them to meet in the inner study.
The two saw Huang Sheng express their opinions, they thought that the Ming Dynasty was in a difficult situation at home and abroad, and the "Nanming" troops could not be in vain this time, and the Ming Dynasty could not take out money and grain to supply military supplies, and the King of the South could ask for a letter as collateral, why not take the opportunity to take Liangguang and Yunnan?
What Huang Sheng is planning in his chest is the empire on which the sun never sets, where will he be entangled in the corners and corners. At this time, it is possible to take advantage of the danger of others to take Liangguang in the name of Lend-Lease, but what impression will it leave in the hearts of the Han people?
Huang Sheng said: "This king promised to send troops without preconditions, of course, he treats people with sincerity, when the news comes out, how will the doctors of the Ming Dynasty think?" If this king takes advantage of the danger of others to covet the land of great faith, how should the people of the world comment? ”
It turned out that King Nan didn't want to ruin his reputation, and the scheming Liang Tingdong thought so, and originally wanted to propose that King Nan be the emperor, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
Wu Xiang, who is good at doing business, disagrees, he thinks that the strength of "Nanming" is so that he can't look ahead and backwards, and he should never take half a step forward if he can go further.
Liang Tingdong said: "His Royal Highness's concerns are very thorough, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, the king of faith and righteousness, has been supported by the people of the world, and it is a matter of course, good!" ”
Wu Xiang said: "Your Highness should not miss the opportunity, once Jiannu is destroyed, the Ming Dynasty will have less trouble in the eastern part of Liaodong, and if the national strength will be restored in time, it will be impossible to give up the land of faith at that time, and it will take a lot of trouble for His Highness to replace it." ”
Huang Sheng said: "It doesn't matter, it is also the king's wish that the people of the Ming Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment, and it is not impossible for the 'Nanming' to live in harmony with the Ming Dynasty from now on, and the 'Nanming' needs to expand the territory and can still attack overseas." ”
Liang Tingdong said: "Your Royal Highness is kind-hearted and is the master of my generation, and the old minister is so fortunate that he is even lucky." ”
Wu Xiang said anxiously: "Your Highness still needs to think twice, how can you allow others to snore next to the couch, how can the two big countries live in harmony?" Besides, how can there be a reason for a strong country to be a minister, and a weak country to be a king? Even Jiannu, who has a population of hundreds of thousands and lives in Liaodong, dares to face the south and claim the emperor, doesn't His Highness want to go further? ”
"Wu Aiqing don't have to think too much, there will always be those who should come, as long as the 'Nanming' country is rich and the people are strong and have a strong army of millions, who is the opponent in the world."
Liang Tingdong said: "However, the old minister has gone through three dynasties, and he has never seen such a weather as 'Nanming', 'Nanming' has His Royal Highness will only be strong and strong, and it will be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to return, and the officials and gentry will defect to His Highness sooner or later." ”
Wu Xiang saw that Huang Sheng refused to take the opportunity to blackmail Daming, so he gave up, and he changed his words and said: "Since His Royal Highness is willing to live in harmony with Daming, then of course such a marriage is beneficial to the country and the people. ”
Huang Sheng blushed at this moment, the princess is only a junior high school student, and she is already in her thirties in Daming, two or three years older than her father-in-law Chongzhen, and there is a taste of young grass for old cows.
Liang Tingdong continued: "Your Highness, the old minister's envoy to 'Nanming' this time is to get this good relationship, as long as His Royal Highness is gracious, the old minister will handle this matter properly." ”
"Well, it's not good, after all, this king is older than her father." Huang Sheng's modern thoughts are still there, and he is a little hesitant.
Wu Xiang smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness is strong, only in her early thirties, which cardamom woman does not like to marry, it is said that Princess Kunxing was overjoyed when she learned the news that she was about to marry the king of Nan." ”
Liang Tingdong also persuaded: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, there are still people who are over the age of sixteen to marry a thirteen-year-old girl, where will Your Highness be the king of a country." ”
Huang Sheng was embarrassed to talk to Chu Er about this matter, so he simply didn't care, and said, "This, this Wang's family affairs are the queen's decision." ”
The two of them understood at once, and said with a smile: "In this way, the minister will not disturb His Majesty, and the minister will retire." ”
The two asked to see Chu Er the next day, but of course there was no accident, Chu Er came forward to Zhang Luo and arranged for Ruan Dan to envoy Da Ming to propose marriage.
Huang Sheng was very unsuitable for the welfare of the feudal emperor, and every time he saw his wife, he felt that he owed her, who knew that Chu'er had no adverse reactions at all, and was more gentle and considerate.
In the end, Huang Sheng learned that Chu Er had only one concern, the princess of Daming should marry the king of Nan, and it stands to reason that she should become the queen to be justified, she can let anything go, but the identity of the queen can't be let go.
Huang Sheng knocked on the side to set out his wife's thoughts, and swore on the spot that his beloved wife Chu'er is the queen today and will become the queen tomorrow, even if there are tens of millions of beauties, the husband only favors the queen.
Knowing that men like to deceive women, but women just like to listen to men tell lies, Chu Er really felt happy again.
There is no need for Huang Sheng to worry about adding a princess, and the queen will handle family affairs properly.
What Huang Sheng had to do was to send troops to Liaodong, and to completely occupy it and completely eliminate Jiannu.
In February of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou, who was trapped in the lonely city, heard that the Qing army camp outside the city was on fire and shouted and killed, and it should be that the imperial court reinforcements were coming to fight.
Although it is difficult to judge the authenticity, Hong Chengchou still prefers to believe it, he immediately organized people and horses to go out of the city and attack at night, this is actually no way, dead horses are just used as live horse doctors.
Trapped in the small city of Songshan for several months, Hong Chengchou had already had enough, thinking about fighting to the death with the Qing army, and dying on the battlefield was considered relief.
Of course, this is the Qing army's strategy to lure the enemy, the result is very bad, the Qing army to wait for work lightly left more than half of the Ming army out of the city, the Hong army after a death battle surrounded the main general Hong Chengchou retreated to Songshan City.
Songshan has been besieged, it has been as long as half a year, the food in the city is exhausted, the army's heart is floating, Songshan's deputy general Xia Chengde is unwilling to be cannon fodder for the Ming Dynasty, he sent his henchmen to secretly go out of the city to knock on the surrender of the Qing army.
This kid is determined to surrender, and he is actually willing to take his son Xia Shu as a hostage in exchange for the trust of the red gangster.
In March, the Qing army and Xia Chengde agreed to join forces at the same time, and the two sides fought for a night and Songshan City fell, and Hong Chengchou and Qiu Minyang were captured.
Next, the two cities of Tashan and Xingshan garrisoned by the Ming army also fell into the hands of the Qing army, and the Jinning defense line of the Ming army, only Ningyuan and Jinzhou were left in the distance, and all the satellite cities fell.
As soon as the war came to an end, Hong Chengchou was captured, and the red gangsters finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the casualties were greater than expected, and the results were less than expected, but it was not a waste to be able to eliminate more than half of the Ming army.
When Hong Chengchou was just captured, he also wanted to be generous, and he went on a hunger strike for several days and refused to surrender.
The red gang sent all the people who could be used to persuade him to surrender, but he was scolded and returned, and the eight little ones still did not give up, he did not appreciate Hong Chengchou's talent, but wanted a thousand gold bones, after all, the people who surrendered before were insignificant in the official position of the Ming Dynasty.
can persuade such a Ming feudal official as Hong Chengchou, and there will be an endless stream of people who will be attached later.
Fan Wencheng, the first traitor official of the Ministry of Special Order, was persuaded to surrender again, asking Fan Wencheng to judge whether Hong Chengchou had the determination to die unyieldingly.
