Chapter 21 Confirmation of Hong Chengchou's surrender

For Huang Taiji's diligent study of Han culture, Hong Chengchou was surprised! Because he saw that Huang Taiji was a book in his hand, and the books in his hand were all books that they Han people praised as classics, he was studying Han culture diligently, not only Huang Taiji himself was learning, he also asked all the princes, Baylor, Beizi and so on to study Han culture diligently!

It's rare to be so hard-working and diligent! And it's still learning the culture of the enemy country! Relatively speaking, Chongzhen only thinks that he is the Heavenly Empire! But they don't think about how to learn each other's strengths so as to promote their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and they also despise the Manchus, and they don't know themselves and their opponents at all, but the Manchus are diametrically opposed. In this way, how can the Ming army not be defeated?

Huang Taiji saw that Hong Chengchou was looking at him, he couldn't help laughing, and he came to Hong Chengchou in person and said, "Mr. Hong! I will study your Han culture well in my spare time! I also often let a Han Confucian scholar constantly explain it! Even my sons, I always urge them to study hard! ”

Hong Chengchou, who was extremely surprised, couldn't help but bow again and again! He really admires Huang Taiji! I finally understood why the Manchu Qing Dynasty was thriving and becoming stronger and stronger under the rule of Huang Taiji!

Huang Taiji said again: "Mr. Hong, how can people be ruthless if they are not grass and trees? I know that you still miss your homeland! And your parents and relatives are in Mingguo, if the news of your surrender spreads, they will be in danger! And maybe your old relatives will scold you! Thus to the detriment of your family! That's why I decided that I would keep the news of your surrender tightly sealed! Even if paper can't hold it, there is no impermeable wall in the world! But I know that as long as it takes a long time, you can let your relatives get through the difficulties, and maybe Chongzhen won't harm your family! ”

Hong Chengchou said with great confidence: "Your Majesty, one thing I can be sure of is that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty will never harm the family of his ministers!" Chen is very confident in this! ”

"Oh?" Huang Taiji smiled, he thought to himself: "If it is really as Hong Chengchou said, Hong Chengchou knows so much about his emperor's mind, then he will help me even more when I enter the Central Plains in the future!" This move I persuaded him to surrender proved to be right! Hong Chengchou, I hope what you say is true! ”

At this time, Dorgon and Dodor were talking in secret. Duoduo said, "Brother, have you heard? Zhang Biwu made a bet with Cao Bianjiao in Beijing that Hong Chengchou would definitely surrender! The whole country of the Southern Dynasties thought that Hong Chengchou was a first-class loyal minister and would not surrender! But now it turns out that Zhang Biwu is right! ”

Dolgon nodded and said, "I think our emperor will have a plan to deal with Zhang Biwu!" Let's wait and see! Dolgon thought so in his heart, but next, he also had to have a letter to Zhang Biwu, so that Zhang Biwu could know the truth.

Dolgon secretly sent someone to do it, and he wanted to have more friendships with Zhang Biwu, because he already had a plan to retaliate against Huang Taiji in his heart.

It was Dolgon's move that helped Zhang Biwu a lot, and in the future, it also contributed to Zhang Biwu helping Dolgon a big favor, which can be regarded as returning Dolgon's favor.

At this time, Beijing was busy paying tribute to Hong Chengchou, and a Guandi temple in Beijing was used to create a temple for Hong Chengchou. Moreover, the masterpieces of poems and characters that are mainly praised by celebrities and scholars are endless, and they all have to pay good attention to this national hero, and even treat Hong Chengchou as a big hero like Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang.

Because as soon as Zhang Biwu said that Hong Chengchou surrendered the news, some people came to Zhang Biwu's residence and kept knocking, they were all scolding, saying that Zhang Biwu was really a dog's eye! How can it be said that the great hero surrendered? It's absolutely impossible!

There are also many rumors that the reason why the great hero Hong Chengchou was trapped in the East and died was all because Zhang Biwu was jealous of his ability and deliberately did not rescue Hong Chengchou.

If it weren't for Zhang Biwu's guards, maybe these so-called "righteous people" would rush in, and they would have to give Zhang Biwu a good look.

What can Zhang Biwu do when he sees this situation? He can only sigh people's hearts! As long as the news of Hong Chengchou's surrender comes, it will be washed away!

But news kept coming, and many of them came from Shenyang, all saying that Hong Chengchou had died of hunger strike!

Huang Qi ran to Zhang Biwu and said, "Look at it! Now there is constant news that Hong Chengchou is loyal to the country! Now you have become the finger of all people! Alas! ”

Zhang Biwu didn't say anything, he was just strange, he was thinking in his heart, could history really change? Hong Chengchou did not surrender? He's dead? No! Probably not! But why is this happening? That's right! There is a deviation, it must be so! It's like dying later than in history with Yang Sichang! Right! Most likely!

At this time, Huang Qi said: "If it weren't for May 19, after Zhang Xianzhong conquered Shucheng, he would have traveled from Lu'an to Luzhou. Luzhou prefect Zheng Luxiang, general sentence Zhao Xingji, experienced Zheng Yuanshou and others guarded the door, and when he learned the imperial history Xu Zhiyuan to Luzhou will try to be a scholar. Zhang Xianzhong sent people to disguise themselves as Confucian scholars and bring Confucian crowns in. Arson in the middle of the night, chaos in the city, the city was broken, Luzhou was broken, the court sent Cao Bianjiao to leave to the south of the Yangtze River, if Cao Bianjiao didn't leave, I don't know what you should do! After all, Cao Bianjiao can't wait to eat you alive! ”

Zhang Biwu smiled, he knew that Chongzhen would not let him die, and Chongzhen would always help him!

At this moment, someone came to report that a letter from a person in the north who claimed to be Zhang Biwu's friend had arrived, and there was a very important letter. Friendly tongue is the code of Zhang Biwu and Dolgon, as long as they say it, the two of them can understand everything, they can accept it, and there will be no obstacles.

Zhang Biwu opened the letter and looked at it, and Dolgon said that Huang Taiji tightly sealed the news of Hong Chengchou's surrender, just to make Zhang Biwu make a fool of himself in public, and of course, the important thing is to kill Zhang Biwu!

The letter made Zhang Biwu most sad and worried about Fei Yangguo, because Zhang Biwu Songshan rescued Cao Bianjiao and them, and Huang Taiji himself knew that the Tao was not all Fei Yangguo's fault, but he wanted to punish Fei Yangguo heavily, firstly, someone would take responsibility, and secondly, he also wanted Fei Yangguo to hate Zhang Biwu even more, and he would fight to the death with Zhang Biwu in the future, and there would be no brotherhood.

Zhang Biwu sighed one after another, he knew that he and Fei Yangguo would really have a battle next!

Huang Qi saw it on the sidelines and asked, "What's wrong?" Zhang Biwu handed the letter to Huang Qi and asked Huang Qi to read the contents of the letter.

After Huang Qi read it, he couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect Dolgon to write a letter, so he said, "Yes, can't we just make this letter public?" Then he thought he was wrong, and that he would hurt Dorgon! That's not going to work! Stupid tricks!

Although Huang Qi also wanted Dolgon to die earlier! Let them have one less strong enemy! But this hurt Dolgon, and he always felt that it was not above board.

Zhang Biwu also did not dwell on Huang Qi's fault, and asked: "Can't the spies we sent find out the exact news that Hong Chengchou has surrendered to the Manchus?" ”

Huang Qi replied: "Yes! There is no news that Hong Chengchou has surrendered, all he finds is the news that Hong Chengchou is dead! ”

Zhang Biwu said: "Isn't Ma Shaoyu secretly trying to negotiate peace in Shengjing? "What? Ma Shaoyu wants to negotiate peace? "Huang Qi can't believe it, Da Ming really wants to negotiate peace with the Manchus?

Zhang Biwu said: "Okay! Dolgon's letter has already made it clear to us where Hong Chengchou lives now, and he has surrendered! Just let our sentinels secretly give news to Ma Shaoyu and let him know that Hong Chengchou is not dead and has surrendered. Wu Sangui is one thing that has exhausted all methods and has not been able to find out, if Ma Shaoyu can find out, Ma Shaoyu has made a great contribution in front of Chongzhen! ”

Huang Qi: "Of course, it also helped us!" Let's solve the big problem! Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Yes! ”

So they carried it out according to this, so that the news that Hong Chengchou had been surrendered could no longer be hidden.

At the same time, Zhang Biwu prepared to pack up and go to Ningyuan to guard Ningyuan with Wu Sangui to guard against further attacks by the Qing army. After all, Zhang Biwu was afraid that if he stayed for a long time, Chongzhen would order him to lead his troops to relieve the siege of Feng, and then he would inevitably have to meet Li Zicheng in arms, wasting his strength.

Seriously, Wu Sangui's news is also really well-informed, he just learned the news of Hong Chengchou's surrender after Ma Shaoyu, he knew the truth, this is because he has an eyeliner in Ma Shaoyu, and he immediately reported it to Wu Sangui as soon as he found out. Of course, Zhang Biwu is not stupid, he told Wu Sangui the news in advance, so that he can also establish a strong friendship relationship with Wu Sangui.

Soon after Ma Shaoyu's recital about Hong Chengchou's surrender arrived at Chongzhen's imperial table, Wu Sangui's report also arrived one step later.

At this time, Chongzhen was just about to personally worship Hong Chengchou, and after hearing the news, he was very annoyed and gave up.

Chongzhen lost his temper in the palace again, he was very angry! When he wanted to have Hong Chengchou's family beheaded, he suddenly thought that if he really killed Hong Chengchou's entire family, then Hong Chengchou would be desperate to serve the Manchus.

If Hong Chengchou's family was left behind, it would make Hong Chengchou ashamed, he was also a rat trap, and he did not dare to try his best to serve the Manchu Qing to attack the Ming Dynasty. How to say, Chongzhen also has a deep kindness to Hong Chengchou, although he defected and surrendered, but this kindness, Hong Chengchou can not forget, and it is difficult to erase.

This is the plan to let Xu Shu be in Cao Ying and not be able to work for Cao Cao! Hong Chengchou has been an official in the Ming court for many years, and he knows the inside story of the Ming Dynasty better than anyone else, if he really wants to help the Manchu Qing Dynasty with all his might, it will be a super disaster for the Ming Dynasty! So you can't kill his whole family! It can be said that Chongzhen's decision is wise.
