438 Hung Seungchou's Opportunity

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Hong Chengchou didn't say anything anymore with great interest, but lowered his head and drank slowly, because he knew that this time was not the time to put forward opinions, if Shi Lei misunderstood what other plans he had in his heart because he put forward his opinions at this time, I am afraid that the little favor he got by trying so hard to get back Shi Lei for so long may be completely dispersed.

"Lord Hong, tell me, what do you think about the affairs of Yunnan, or rather, do you have any suitable candidates to provide to this official." Hong Chengchou didn't speak for a long time, Shi Lei quickly understood what he meant, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of the things about Hong Chengchou in his previous life.

In later generations, historians once ranked Hong Chengchou as the first traitor of the Han people at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even if he tried his best to encourage Dolgon to take advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains, Fan Wencheng, who led the army into the customs, was not as high as Hong Chengchou, the reason for this is because in the process of the Manchu Qing Dynasty entering the customs and the Manchu Qing Dynasty dominating the world, Hong Chengchou can be said to have made immortal contributions.

In 1647 A.D., that is, when Shunzhi was four years old, a group of generals who could fight well in the Manchu court gradually died for their own reasons, you know, the snake is not headless, and this group of generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have followed Nurhachi or Huang Taiji, and they have experienced many years of hard fighting outside the pass before they slowly climbed up, and after they left, the combat effectiveness of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also declined greatly, and later, the Manchu Eight Banners Army that had beaten the millions of elite troops of the Ming Dynasty fled in embarrassment, It will be defeated again and again by some rabble.

Just like the remnants of the Great Shun Army such as He Shaoqi, a few years after the Manchu court entered the customs, they were able to defeat the so-called Manchu Eight Banners Army, and it can be seen from here that the combat effectiveness of the Manchu Eight Banners Army has gradually weakened.

In addition, the sparse strength of the Manchu Eight Banners Army caused them to want to exterminate the remnants of the Righteous Army and the Ming Army that were wandering around, which was simply impossible, fortunately, at this time, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou and other Han people took the initiative to stand up and solve problems for their Manchu masters.

In particular, Hong Chengchou, in the ten years of Shunzhi, when the Han army in the south counterattacked, Hong Chengchou was ordered to pass through the vast area of the southwest, and Hong Chengchou was also a very qualified dog-legged, the last anti-Qing upsurge, under his strong suppression, was completely disintegrated, after that, the entire land of China, there was no climate uprising against the Manchu court, until more than a hundred years later, Hong Xiuquan's rebellion of this group of gods completely shook the rule of the Manchu court, and this situation, If you don't count part of the responsibility on Hong Chengchou.

Of course, in this era, because of the existence of Shi Lei, it has led to great changes in the world, but no matter what changes in history, a person's personality will not have major changes, just like Hong Chengchou, the reason why it was like that in the original history, it was because he was a courtier of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he did his best for the Manchu Qing Dynasty and died, which is his duty, and in this era, Hong Chengchou is still the Hong Chengchou, but the change in the general trend of the world has made him not become the loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty again.

Hearing Shi Lei's question, Hong Chengchou didn't have any happy expression, but said with a hesitant face, "The lord is really a mistake, the lower officials are only shallow in learning, and they have just attached themselves to the imperial court, and they don't know much about the personnel of the imperial court, so how dare they make random suggestions, if this leads to the wrong decision-making of the adults, then it is the responsibility of the lower officials." ”

"Hahaha, Lord Hong really deserves to be an old-timer, what he said is not leaky, since the official asked, you can talk about it, anyway, what you say will be seriously considered by the official, even if something goes wrong, I won't blame you." Shi Lei said with a smile.

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Hong Chengchou knew that he must have to say something, otherwise Shi Lei would definitely not be able to pass this level.

"Since the adults want to hear it, then the lower officials will talk about some of their own thin opinions, if you want to choose the right candidate, then the first choice must meet a condition, that is, it can not be a pure general, the adult is clear in his heart, the matter of Yunnan, it seems to be a war, but in fact it is because the interests of all parties are not satisfied with the current situation, so as to make an extreme reaction, all, want to solve the affairs of Yunnan, the first choice is to solve the disharmony between the forces of the parties, as long as the forces of all parties are coordinated, in the use of strong forces to press, In this way, even if some people are not satisfied, they dare not say anything.

Therefore, the first choice of the lower officials is General Li Yan, not to mention that General Li Yan has few good names, let's just say that General Li Yan is not only able to lead troops to fight and deal with their respective government affairs, but also quite capable, just a few clever plans that General Li Yan offered for Li Zicheng back then, so that King Li Chuang, who was about to be cornered, had a million mercenaries in an instant, and finally was able to attack Beijing City, so it can be seen that General Li Yan's ability. Hong Chengchou said.

Hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Shi Lei nodded and said, "Yes, Li Yan is indeed the best choice, but no, the official has already thought about it, and is ready to send him as the forward coach when he attacks Beijing City in the future. ”

As soon as Shi Lei's words were said, Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, but soon he came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Lord Hui, since General Li Yan has other important uses, then there is only General Dong Qi, although General Dong Qi is young and vigorous, but after all, he is from a general, the art of war, and his knowledge are good, although the experience and means are not as skilled as General Li Yan, but General Dong Qi has been following the adult for so long, and some of the skills of the adult have always learned a few points, and the most important thing is that the Dong Qi soldiers are loyal to the adult. As long as he arrives in Yunnan, no matter what opinions all parties have, for the sake of the adult's face, they will give General Dong Qi a face, which will also be of great help in dealing with the affairs of Yunnan. ”

Originally, Hong Chengchou thought that Shi Lei should be satisfied at this time, but to Hong Chengchou's surprise, Shi Lei shook his head and said, "No, Dong Qi is reckless, young and vigorous, let him be okay under the command of this official, but let him be the prime minister alone, then it will be a little difficult for him." ”

"That'...... Then, since this is the case, Weichen doesn't know how to choose. Hong Chengchou said a little dumbfounded.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the resourceful Lord Hong would have a day when he was at a loss, it was really an eye-opener for the official, in fact, Lord Hong also missed a person, according to the official, that person is resourceful, sleek, and proficient in the way of battle formation, as long as he can go south to Yunnan, I am afraid that the affairs of Yunnan will be completely calmed down in an instant." Shi Lei said with a smile.

Shi Lei's words immediately aroused Hong Chengchou's curiosity, and he asked in surprise, "Oh, I don't know who this person is that Lord Shi is talking about, the person who can be so respected by the adults is definitely the person in question, but the lower officials can't think of such a person in the world after thinking about it, and ask the adults to explain their doubts to the lower officials." ”

Hong Chengchou looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, but Shi Lei's heart was extremely satisfied, first squinted his eyes, drank a glass of wine with a smile, and then stretched out a finger, pointed at Hong Chengchou and said, "Lord Hong, the person the official said is you." ”

"I ...... Hehe, my lord, are you joking, how dare a person who surrenders to the lower official be worthy of such praise from an adult, is it deserved, deserved! Hearing Shi Lei's words, Hong Chengchou was stunned at first, and then pointed at himself with a face full of disbelief and said.

"Hahaha, yes, it's Lord Hong, you, Lord Hong said, Lord Hong first did the Ming Army Department Shangshu led hundreds of thousands of soldiers out of the customs to fight the Manchu Tartars, although the army was later defeated and captured, but what was the reason for the defeat of that battle, everyone knows it, and then, Lord Hong assisted the Tartar regent Dolgon to enter the customs smoothly, and at the same time, in a short period of time, he quickly took a large area of land, although this matter, Lord Hong did a little unbearable, but from the other side, Lord Hong's ability and means, It can be said that there are a number of talents in the world!

Therefore, the official said that Lord Hong was the most suitable person to serve as the commander of the southbound army, which also meant seeking truth from facts. Shi Lei said with a laugh.

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Hong Chengchou felt very guilty in his heart at first, and thought that Shi Lei was deliberately playing tricks on him, but when he heard Shi Lei's last few words, the guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by a heart full of joy and encouragement, and he got some additional meaning from Shi Lei's words.

"Your Excellency....... What does Adult mean....... Is that to say, the lower officials....... Prepare to let the lower officials ........., "Sure enough, the concern is chaotic, no matter who it is, even if it is an immortal, when something related to his own vital interests appears, he will be furious, otherwise, there will be no such thing as "Fengshen List".

Seeing Hong Chengchou so excited, Shi Lei said with a smile, "Yes, Lord Hong's guess is indeed good, what this official means is that he wants Lord Hong to lead a large army south instead of this official, stabilize the situation in the south, and deal with various remaining problems at the same time." ”

"But...... However, Lord Shi, whether Xia Guan is a demoted general, or a minister who has been disloyal to the Lord several times, does the Lord really believe in Xia Guan and dare to let Xia Guan lead the army south, so he is not afraid that Xia Guan will have any objections? Hong Chengchou's eyes were red with excitement and said.

"Don't use suspicious people, don't be suspicious when employing people, since the official dares to use you, he is not afraid that you will make trouble, since the official can catch you once, he can catch you ten times, a hundred times, but the official believes that you are a smart person, and you will not do that kind of stupid thing, after all, the official can also arrest you ten times, but you only have one head, thinking that people like you will not do that kind of impossible thing." Shi Lei said.

At the same time, when he said these words, Shi Lei couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Rebellion, not to mention Xiucai rebellion, ten years will not be successful, although Hong Chengchou can lead the army to fight, but he is not the kind of person who can stand up as a king on his own, such as Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, who have a strong sense of autonomy, after all, the Confucian education from childhood to adulthood has made their understanding of imperial power and the imperial court not change overnight, besides, although Hong Chengchou led the army south this time, but the army under his command, But they are all Ming troops trained by Shi Lei, Hong Chengchou didn't make a small move, it's okay, if he wants to pull the flag and rebel, I'm afraid he hasn't left the barracks yet, and he will be directly tied up by the soldiers below and escorted back.

One of the most important reasons is that now Hong Chengchou's mother and all his relatives are in Xi'an City, and Hong Chengchou is in his fifties this year. “

All, in general, Shi Lei is not afraid of any changes in Hong Chengchou from his heart, and at the same time, he can also use Hong Chengchou's ability to quickly pacify the south, so as to expel the Manchu Tartars in the future, stabilize the form of the rear, and win a good reputation for himself with a big heart, and kill three birds with one stone, Shi Lei is the most willing to do.

"Xiaguan........ Xiaguan thanks the grace of the Lord, the grace of the Lord, the Descendant will never forget, this time to the south, the Descendant will definitely clear all the obstacles for the Lord, in order to repay the Adult's kindness. Hong Chengchou couldn't help but kneel down in front of Shi Lei, kowtowed a few times heartily and said.

Seeing Hong Chengchou, who was grateful to himself, Shi Lei's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he quickly got up from the chair, and after helping Hong Chengchou up, he said, "Okay, okay, Lord Hong don't do this, this is also Lord Hong's own efforts, if he is generally talentless, even if the official wants to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, I'm afraid he is not that material at all, but the official has a request this time, I hope Lord Hong can agree." “

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Hong Chengchou immediately woke up, Shi Lei must have something for him to do, and this kind of thing must still be more troublesome, but now, let alone let Hong Chengchou do something, even if he asks him to sacrifice his wife, I'm afraid he will also be the reason, after all, as long as the official, as long as he tastes the feeling of power, he will never want to lose him, which is why many officials have been seventy or eighty, and they can't even walk, but they still have to rely on the position. And Hong Chengchou is also this kind of person, although he is in his fifties, as long as he does not lie down, he will never want to lose the feeling that the right brings him.
