Time back to two months ago, Huang Taiji heard that Gongsun Zhan raided his lair and did not make a noise, on the contrary, not only did not hurry back to see the sheep at home, but attacked Datong more violently, before the distressed casualties were relatively polite, with Hong Chengchou's ability to hold on, but once this is crazy to play with his life, Hong Chengchou is not a god, with the tens of thousands of people in his hands how can he stop Huang Taiji's 200,000 tiger and wolf division!

What's more, the bastard's Huang Taiji actually has a cannon! The imprint of the Ministry of Engineering on the eldest brother is still there, which bastard sold this thing to him with a smoking nose?

Hong Chengchou used the strength to guard and insisted for more than a month, and his first favorite general Cao Wenzhao was killed in battle, and Wu Sangui was exceptionally promoted to the general soldier of Da-Tong, it is said that others did not remove their armor and ate and slept on the head of the city all day long, and they couldn't even rest for two hours a day, and every time they commanded, they had to risk stone arrows and charge in the most dangerous places.

Why would such a person defect to the enemy and commit treason? In the first few days, everyone thought that this was Huang Taiji's trick, what should everyone do, Hong Chengchou's funeral was prepared in an orderly manner, Chongzhen personally buried with a national ceremony, and saw that the mound was about to be built, and as a result, the news that the four towns in the northwest were broken by Hong Chengchou personally led the troops to break through, and slapped the court in the face.

Qin Hao flew back to the capital, and saw such a situation, Hong Chengchou's mourning hall was deserted, this solemn and solemn mourning hall was silently mocking this calamitous regime, the huge portrait of the mourning hall was cut into eighteen sections, it is said that Chongzhen personally cut it, and the entire capital was weird and heavy because of his surrender.

Came directly to the main hall to see Chongzhen, Chongzhen's expression was much haggard, the huge pressure almost crushed him, the good mood of the southeast calm a few days ago was swept away, without any psychological experts, even Qin Hao could see that Chongzhen's current state was obviously abnormal.

"You're here."

"Well, what's going on?"

"How? Huang Taiji is competing with Gongsun Chan for time, now it is less than three hundred miles away from the capital, at the latest tomorrow, he should be in the city, I have already given Gongsun Chan an an order, not allowed to return to help, since he chose to change the son, he must be replaced, I want to see if he Huang Taiji first attacked this Yanjing City, or my general destroyed his lair first! ”

Qin Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, no one knew what Gongsun Zan was like, transferring him back at this time would certainly keep the capital worry-free, but all the previous efforts and the few months of perseverance in the Northwest Sanguan would become meaningless, and when the time came, Huang Taiji plundered and left, and it was himself who suffered.

"How long can the capital last?"

"I don't know, Lu Xiangsheng has already returned to help, Qin Liangyu and Zhao Kuangyin are also rushing here, the reinforcements from all sides are almost the same, but I don't know if it's too late, most of the elite in Beijing was taken away by Lu Xiangsheng, and now there are only more than 30,000 people left, I'm afraid... I may not be able to hold it for a month. ”

Qin Hao's heart was also heavy when he heard this, but he still asked, "Why did Hong Chengchou surrender?" Is it because he is greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

"I don't know, no one can say clearly, it just so happens that Wu Sangui is also in the capital, you can ask him, Gonggong Cao, Xuan Wu Sangui came over to talk about the northwest."

"Yes."

Qin Hao was overjoyed, Wu Sangui is back?

At the beginning of Hong Chengchou's entry into the customs, Wu Sangui followed Hong Chengchou to Datong to garrison, Datong fell, Qin Hao thought that he had sacrificed, and even simply surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country, but he didn't expect to return to the capital first, which may also be a great luck in misfortune.

After a while, Wu Sangui arrived, and it could be seen that the situation in Beijing was already on the line, Wu Sangui was wearing armor and looked ready to go into battle at any time.

"The last general, Wu Sangui, see Your Majesty, the national teacher."

"Get up and tell the immortals about the northwest."

"Yes." As he spoke, he got up and looked up and saw an iron-beaten man behind Qin Hao, how could the tears be uncontrollable, and they fell from his eyes with a click.

"Don't be in a hurry to cry, tell me what's going on, especially Hong Chengchou, why did he suddenly surrender."

"National Teacher, the last general will never believe that Master Hong will surrender. Inspector Hong insisted on the same three months, and he saw everything he did, and he could have stayed for a while longer, but who knows!! Who knew that he Huang Taiji actually had a cannon in his hand! That's more than 200 cannons! Row up in three rows and fight against the big - with the city wall! In order to destroy the artillery array of Huang Taiji, the last general and Cao Wenzhao rushed out to fight more than a dozen times, and most of the general's headquarters were lost, and Cao's general soldiers were defeated and died, and the whole army was annihilated.

Seven days ago, Inspector Hong knew that Datong could not hold it anyway, so he handed over all the cavalry to the commander of the last general, and ordered the end to drive the starry night back to the capital, and he himself led the infantry to continue to hold on. ”

As he spoke, Wu Sangui choked on the ground with his head, and his blood splashed, as if he was very dissatisfied with Chongzhen for not giving Hong Chengchou a complete and decent funeral.

"Got it, you go down first."

"Yes."

When Wu Sangui left, Chongzhen asked Qin Hao, "What do you think?" ”

"Are you sure that Hong Chengchou has really committed treason and not Huang Taiji's tricks?"

"The four towns in the northwest were all attacked by him with his own troops, and there was no falsehood. General Xiao Wu couldn't accept it for a while, which is understandable, even I can't believe that this is true. ”

Qin Hao didn't say a word, lowered his head and pondered, why did Hong Chengchou commit treason?

In history, Hong Chengchou did surrender to Huang Taiji, from this point of view, it should not be strange that he committed treason, but now it can be said that there is a world of difference from the original history! Originally, there was a reason for his surrender in history, so what was the reason for this time?

In the original history, the battle of Songshan between Hong Chengchou and Huang Taiji was the battle of national fortune between the Ming Dynasty and Huang Taiji, he commanded the total army of the eight towns, led 200,000 of the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty to fight to the death with Huang Taiji, and persisted for a year, and finally because of the lack of food and grass, the Ming Dynasty could not afford to take the initiative to attack, the army was defeated and captured, and the last elite of the Ming Dynasty was lost in a war, and the Ming Dynasty no longer had any soldiers to fight.

But the failure of Hong Chengchou's battle of Songshan was not because Hong Chengchou himself had any command problems, the Ming Dynasty was a farming civilization and a defender, but the war of attrition could not consume Huang Taiji, the attacking side from the grassland civilization, which could have been a problem, it was already the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, and the Ming Dynasty was terminally ill, and the gods could not be saved.

In other words, from the day of Hong Chengchou's defeat, the fall of the Ming Dynasty has been just a simple matter of time, I have to say that although Hong Chengchou's surrender has a loss, but he has done a lot of things for the Han people in the rest of his life, because his surrender has accelerated the speed of the demise of the Ming Dynasty, but it has indeed made the Han people die a lot.

But, what is the special mother doing this time! Daming's national strength is still very strong, Gongsun Chan still has countless elite soldiers in his hands, Lu Xiangsheng is not dead yet, brother, can you give a reason to surrender!

Hong Chengchou is afraid of death? No one believes this reason, if Hong Chengchou is a greedy person who is afraid of death, he will not go to this battlefield at all, you must know that a few years ago Hong Chengchou was still an authentic scholar, it is estimated that he has never killed a chicken in his life, and after hearing that the country is in trouble, he sold all his family wealth and led his family servants to form Hong Bing resolutely went to the battlefield, saying that such a person who is afraid of death must be crazy.

Is it the greed for power? Don't be funny, Hong Chengchou has achieved the largest feudal official in the Ming Dynasty except for Gongsun Zhan, and even the jurisdiction is a little larger than Gongsun Zhan, the real one person is above ten thousand people, what kind of power and wealth can make him tempted? Did Huang Taiji give him the throne?

Could it be that Huang Taiji's personality charm is off the charts, and people can't help but bow their heads when they see it, Hong Chengchou was shocked at first sight and thought that this is the lord of the world worth following? Don't make a fuss, it's not the Internet.

What else could it be for?

Three words came to Qin Hao's mind: Li! Help! Shake!
