Win the Ding 1617

Since mid-May, it is destined to be a time node full of irony for Chongzhen.

Two days after Zuo Liangyu's inscription on annihilating hundreds of thousands of enemies and beheading Li Zicheng was placed on Zhu Youjian's desk in Dongnuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, the inscription on Zuoping's defeat and capture of [-] people was also placed on the desk. Before the case of Zhu Youjian.However, Zuo Liangyu's own inscription was long overdue, and the text claimed that his troops temporarily withdrew to Xiangyang to rest because of the hot weather and the epidemic.However, anyone can see, Nima, you can retreat from Weishi and Tongxu to Xiangyang, why can't you advance to Kaifeng, which is close at hand, to rest?

Isn't this the same tone as the national army's tone of victory after inflicting a large number of casualties on the enemy! ?

Just now, the ceremonies were solemn and solemn, and the Jiliao governor Hong Chengchou, who died for the country, was held in a solemn atmosphere, hoping to set an example for the civil and military ministers and the people of the world.Unexpectedly, in the city of Shenyang, which is [-] to [-] miles away from Beijing, in front of the Dazheng Hall, which can be called the power center of the Qing Dynasty, an equally solemn and mighty live drama is also staged.

Different from the Surrender Ceremony outside the city of Jinzhou, which was full of performances and was very hasty, this surrender ceremony was the most grand since Huang Taiji ascended the throne in the Qing Dynasty!

Not counting Gebush's virtuous soldiers standing in front of the Dazheng Hall, there are as many as a thousand people in the honorary guards.

Elephants such as guide elephants and treasure elephants were scrubbed clean by elephant slaves, fitted with brand new saddles, and stood obediently outside the hall.In front of the guiding elephant and the precious elephant, people holding static whips in their hands, people holding various musical instruments, golden melons, axes, fingers, palms, fists, horizontal leopard tail guns and other guards of honor, all kinds of drums and music are lined up on both sides.Behind them, various five-color golden dragon flags, wind flags, rain flags, and place flags are arranged in an orderly manner.A little closer to the Dazheng Hall, there are countless round fans and yellow fans.Square fan, peacock fan and so on.

Then there are yellow covers, purple sesame covers, emerald green covers, and nine dragon crank yellow covers, which look like huge mushrooms.What else is the golden chair.Gold vase, gold washbasin, gold spittoon and so on.After these things, there are a large number of ministers with swords and guards with swords.

The grade mountain made of bronze clearly distinguishes the identities of the banner owners, princes and ministers of Baylor who attended the ceremony.Right now, the three Dorgon brothers, who are the most powerful and have the fiercest subordinates, are the most eye-catching in the team.The prince of Mongolia couldn't help but nodded with a smile and the three Dorgon brothers, although according to the etiquette system, they could not go to see the salute, if possible.The banner owners of the Mongolian and Han army banners might rush to greet the three brothers immediately.

Who let others have hundreds of cattle and nearly [-] young men?It is said that several shopkeepers of Longsheng in Liaodong asked Prince Yu to buy local products in various places in Liaodong on their behalf.Isn't this a big fortune falling into the hands of the three brothers again?Why don't you flatter me?

Among the guards of honor in the halogen book, a purple canopy is the most conspicuous and the most gorgeous, with a comprehensive texture of silk and satin, embroidered with various lotus, ganoderma, chrysanthemum, and plum blossoms.This umbrella is quite big.How many meters around, how many meters high.Several strong and strong men propped it up like a purple auspicious cloud.

Under the umbrella is the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji.

Today such a big fight, with all the ceremonial guards and ceremonial books, and the solemn treasure elephant, is for Hong Chengchou who is standing with Fan Wencheng, the head of civil servants.

Great joy.The whip sounded.

He also listened to the officials of the Ministry of Rites leading all the officials to praise, and then dancers from the Jiaofang Division entered one after another.One played the song of longevity, the second played the song of acknowledging the grace of heaven, and the third played the song of feeling the virtue of the earth.Four songs of folk music and life, five songs of gratitude to the emperor.

With the music, Man and Han officials.The Mongolian prince in Shengjing, as hostages, the son of the Joseon Dynasty, the two brothers of the king and the son's entourages, all went to the Dazheng Hall, saluted the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji sitting in the Dazheng Hall, and then returned to the usual place , only the princes of Manchu and Mongolia, the sons of the Joseon Dynasty, and the maharaja can sit, and the rest stand in two rows.

After a while, Fan Wencheng whispered to Hong Chengchou: "Boss, it's our turn."

Hong Chengchou, who had shaved his hair and made it easy to wear, straightened his robes, flicked his braids in a very chic way, and walked forward in small steps before knelt down in front of the rank mountain.Hong Chengchou usually thought that he grew up in a "state of clothing and cultural relics", and he despised Manchu clothing and called it the clothing of barbarians and Di Di.He often scolded Manchurians for their hats with dolphin tails and their sleeves shaped like horseshoes.Now that he is wearing it himself, he is still extremely beautiful.

"The minister is the commander of the Ming Dynasty. More than [-] soldiers came to Liaodong to help Jinzhou. The large and small battles offended the military prestige. As soon as the saint arrived, all the soldiers were defeated. The minister was trapped in Guangning City. The news was cut off and the food and grass were not available. Desperate, ventured to break through, defeated and captured, and deserved to die. He was sympathetic to the emperor, and he did not kill his ministers, but instead raised him. Now I will meet with the court. The ministers know that the crime is serious and dare not rush in, so they will report their crimes first. Xu Jin and No, wait for the order to decide."

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites played Hong Chengchou's confession loudly in Manchu, all the prominent Manchurians present could hear it clearly.Although Hong Chengchou had repeatedly deliberated with Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and the others, what he said gave Huang Taiji enough face, and he flattered Huang Taiji very hard.However, how many princes and ministers present did not come from the battlefields of Tashan, Jinzhou, Guangning, etc.?

Many generals of the two white flags were surrounded by shells overwhelming the Tashan position, fires ignited from time to time around them, and their noses were filled with the smell of burnt human flesh.

The generals of the two red flags and the two blue flags kept peeking at Wang Pu and others who were kneeling behind Hong Chengchou. Now these guys have surrendered, but at the beginning, outside Jinzhou City, their soldiers and horses were captured. These guys beat that devil Wu Biao hard, and the soldiers and horses were damaged a lot!

Standing next to Huang Taiji, the mighty Aobai still had the same flesh on his face, but only he knew that the leg that was broken when he was fighting with Wu Biao's cavalry was involuntarily trembling slightly.

Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the throne, said a few words in Manchu.Immediately, the official of the Ministry of Rites announced loudly: "The emperor ordered: Hong Chengchou's words are very true. However, at that time, you fought with our army, and each was the master. Do you mind? The reason why I have you is because I In the First World War, I defeated hundreds of thousands of people from the Ming Kingdom, won the cities of Song and Jin, and subdued tens of thousands of horses. It was all God’s will. The way of heaven is good for life, and it is in line with the way of heaven to be able to support people, so I acted according to God’s will and left Your life. But remember my kindness of upbringing, and do my best to repay. All the crimes I committed in the past are forgiven. I caught Zhang Chun before the battle and gave birth to him. It's a pity that he can't serve the Ming Dynasty. Even if you die, you can't serve me well, you can accomplish nothing, and you die for nothing. Don't be like him!"

Hong Chengchou kowtowed to the ground and said, "I would like to obey the holy edict!"

"You have been in charge of the Southern Dynasty for a long time, and you are familiar with military aircraft. I don't know what you think about my Qing Dynasty's invasion of the Southern Dynasty?" Huang Taiji pondered for a while, and then asked a question.This is also a question that has troubled him for a long time!After the military affairs in Songshan, Jinzhou, Guangning and other places ended, the Korean and Chinese military princes quarreled endlessly about what to do next.Many argue that we should strike while the iron is hot.Taking advantage of the panic after the defeat of the Southern Dynasties, they conquered Shanhaiguan and even the city of Beijing in one fell swoop!

Regarding this issue, Hong Chengchou had thought about it many times when Sanguanmiao decided to surrender, and he was considered confident.

"Your Majesty, because of my stupidity, it is not appropriate to enter the Southern Dynasty at this time!"

"Today, our Qing army is mighty, and we are victorious in all battles. I intend to march into Shanhaiguan, are you willing to be the leader?" Huang Taiji repeated intentionally.On the one hand, it was to give face to the princes and ministers who advocated entering the army, and at the same time it was to test Hong Chengchou's talent.

"Your Majesty!"

Hong Chengchou said anxiously: "Excuse me, to be blunt, the one who can win this battle, the heavens will help you, and your majesty is a great talent. The location is good. In the past, there were three strong armies in the Ming Dynasty. The Chinese army. Although the army of the present minister is destroyed, the Southern Guangdong Army in the Jingying camp still exists. Its strength is still two-thirds."

As soon as Hong Chengchou said these words, Huang Taiji felt as refreshed as if drinking a glass of ice-cold Nanhai elixir in the hot summer, but his face still had the attitude of a man who would like to hear more about it.However, the Manchu relatives and nobles under the throne are already ready to move.In their view, a descendant, the emperor gave you such a big face, you don't want to be grateful and lay down the Central Plains Huahua Jiangshan for the emperor, but here to grow the ambition of the Ming Dynasty and destroy our prestige, you bastard!If it wasn't for the fact that he was in front of Huang Taiji, I'm afraid Governor Hong would have been beaten by these Manchu relatives long ago.

"The so-called help from the heavens is the five feet of snow that night. Without this snow, His Majesty would have been captured long ago. Needless to say, His Majesty is a hero, and the location of Tashan is also the key to victory." He sneered at his actions, but Hong Chengchou looked normal and continued to analyze Huang Taiji's pros and cons.

"Prince Rui, if you hadn't used the advantages of Tashan to the extreme and relied on the soldiers to fight to the death, it would be a miracle that Tashan could be held for a day with Li Huamei's artillery fire!"

Hong Chengchou said that, Huang Taiji, Dorgon, and a group of princes and generals from the Manchurian Eight Banners, Mongolian Eight Banners, and Han Army Banners who had experienced the strengths and weaknesses of the Southern Guangdong Army were all right, and quite a few of them nodded slightly in approval.However, those Eight Banners Manchuria and Eight Banners Mongolia who had never dealt with the Southern Cantonese Army were full of curses, a few grumpy guys who were eager to show off in front of Huang Taiji, even rolled up their arms and sleeves, ready to rush up and beat this bad boy Knowing the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, descending people.

"Before the emperor drives, do you dare to be presumptuous?!"

Dorgon sneered and shouted in a low voice.

"If you are not convinced, just go to the pass and fight the Nanyue Army!"

In the queue, the young Yue Le also mocked those guys with poor acting skills in a low voice.

"To take the initiative to attack Ming, the weather is hard to come back, the geographical advantage does not exist, and the enemy army has at least two-thirds of its strength, the victory or defeat is unpredictable. The ancients said that if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, his majesty is also a hero, how can he underestimate the enemy's crimes?" danger." Hong Chengchou also saw the danger he was facing, but his years of official career made him understand a truth.You don't have to be the world in the article, you only need to be the examiner in the article!Who is the examiner?It is Huang Taiji, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty who is currently on the throne.As long as he agrees with the supervisor, oh, my point of view, then everything doesn't matter!

"If you don't agree, just try it." Seeing that Hong Chengchou's words won Huang Taiji's nod of approval, Dorgon was very happy. He said, "You guys can't even beat Wu Biao, but you dare to fight Li Shouhan?"

"Uncle Fifteen is absolutely right! Man said that Li Shouhan himself is a direct line of military horses, and even Wu Biao, an abandoned disciple of the Southern Guangdong Army, is so powerful. From Ben Baylor's point of view, the headquarters of the Southern Guangdong Army may be even more difficult to deal with."

It is said that Yue Le made a great contribution this time, if he hadn't acted decisively.If the command is good, I am afraid that the two blue flags Manchuria and the two red flags Manchuria will be defeated by Wu Biao, Wang Pu, Li Fuming and other troops.Although he is Abatai's son and belongs to the two white flags, but in order to promote the juniors, he also mixed sand inside the two white flags.Huang Taiji specially promoted him to Baylor this time, the same level as his father Abatai.He is also qualified to participate in the court meeting with military exploits, and has spoken at the court meeting.

Yue Le's words aroused the unanimous nod of approval from the two blue-flag Manchurians and two red-flag Manchurians who fought side by side with him that day.Originally!It is normal to say that the more you can fight the enemy, you will be defeated by the enemy. Isn't it more difficult to defeat the enemy?

Although Yue Le had never been in charge of one banner directly, the support of the two blue flags and two red flags, such as Prince Baylor, was obvious.

"In addition, Changbo Wu is powerful in this battle, not only with a large number of troops, but also sufficient food and ammunition. I heard that Changbo Wu attacked Tashan that day, and Lord Dorgon could hardly resist it. And if you raise troops to attack Ming, Changbo Wu will defend, and we will attack, attack and defend." Changing the situation, although it cannot be said that our army will be defeated, the losses will inevitably be doubled."

"So forgive me for speaking bluntly. Although His Majesty has won a great victory today, his advantage is still in the Southern Dynasty."

"You mean we wash our necks and wait for Li Shouhan's steel knife, right?" Regarding Hong Chengchou's words.Someone in the crowd complained.

"No, although the overall strength of the Southern Dynasty is superior, they will lose if they confront each other for a long time."

"What you said is easy. As time goes by, Uncle Ningyuan's army is still deploying defenses in Shandong and Tianjin, and the sea ban is getting tighter. If the confrontation lasts for 20 years, I am afraid that our country will be in chaos first."

Seeing that a ceremonial ceremony was turning into a court meeting, Huang Taiji glanced at Fan Wencheng, and Master Fan immediately nodded his head in understanding and praised him endlessly.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites praised loudly.The ceremony proceeded to the next item.

"Hong Chengchou, today I will play all kinds of operas for you, the monarch and his ministers share the joy, and release your feelings of restraint. You see, you are an official in this dynasty and you are an official in the southern dynasty. How is the joy?"

Hong Chengchou kowtowed to thank him, and replied with a groin: "I am a prisoner on death row, and I am fortunate to be reborn. In the Southern Dynasty, the upper and lower sides were congested, and the emperor suspected the ministers; the superiors treated the subordinates with severe punishments, and the ministers deceived the emperor with perfunctory. The ministers went to court. , Frightened and fearful, lest misfortune will happen, so the gentleman keeps his mouth shut and the villain commits treachery, making the government increasingly corrupt and uncontrollable. The sinful minister is fortunate to meet the Ming Lord, sideways in the holy dynasty, like dry grass in spring, moistened by rain and dew, The sun is shining, and the wind is blowing. Now that the emperor has given you the blessing of the "Hundred Operas", I am not a tree or a stone, so how can I not be grateful. The minister is obtuse, and vows to serve His Majesty for the rest of his life. Even if you smash your body to pieces, you will do whatever you want!"

No one knew whether Hong Chengchou's words were true or not, but seeing that he was sobbing and unable to make a sound, he kowtowed again and again.Huang Taiji nodded with a smile, said a few words of comfort to him, then waved his hands and ordered people to present the so-called Baixi.

The first program is the dragon dance.This program was supposed to be played at night, and it was called "Playing with Dragon Lanterns".Now it's changed to play during the day, so the lights in the dragon's belly are no longer needed.Hong Chengchou was familiar with this game since he was a child. He would watch soldiers come to Yuanmen to play with lions and dragon lanterns during New Year's Day in the army.Now it is the first time for him to watch this program in a foreign country, and he is still interested, and his depression is relieved.The gongs and drums are deafening, and a long dragon with claws is flying, jumping, stretching or bending, circling in the middle of the courtyard, very lively and vigorous.But he accidentally noticed that the dragons in the motherland, whether they are painted, carved, clay sculptures, paper-tied, woven, embroidered, or played with dragon lanterns, the shape and look of the dragon head are all honest and full of charm. Majestic, not as ferocious as the image of the dragon head seen today.He couldn't help but think of a comment: "The wind of barbarians!" However, this thought surprised him.Ever since he decided to surrender, he has been admonishing himself in his heart: he must try his best to destroy his love for the motherland, otherwise he will inadvertently cause a catastrophe.He looked at the dragon dance with his eyes again, especially the dragon head that kept turning low and low, forced a very satisfied smile, and at the same time warned himself seriously in his heart: "This is not 'Hu Feng', but 'Guo Feng "Vulgar"! Remember clearly, and praise "national customs" everywhere! Manchurian dialect is "national language", and Manchurian characters are "national script". Remember! Remember!"

Afterwards, he played a lot of shows, including various juggling, wrestling, and dancing.Hong Chengchou saw Mongolian men's dances for the first time, and felt vigorous and fierce, but he didn't like them; some Manchu dances resembled dancing gods, and some imitated hunting. He thought they were nomadic, and he didn't like them even more.Later, he saw a group of North Korean women entering the arena, wearing long skirts, with light steps and graceful postures, which made him unconsciously fascinated.He also saw a slender and beautiful dancer who sneaked glances twice at the Prince of Korea who was sitting on the west side while she was doing her back and twirling movements. There seemed to be tears in her eyes.He was startled, and thought: "She also has the sorrow of her homeland!" After this program was over, the Qing emperor and his ministers had never noticed the North Korean woman's thoughts, and Hong Chengchou stopped worrying about her.

The North Korean dance obviously satisfied Huang Taiji and ordered to do it all over again.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hong Chengchou boldly looked under the eaves of the Dazheng Hall, and unexpectedly met the eyes of the Concubine Yongfu, the official Zhuang, among the female family members and palace family members.Concubine Zhuang immediately turned her eyes to the Korean woman who was dancing again, she didn't seem to see him, her expression was very noble.

There was a buzzing sound in Hong Chengchou's mind, although the Concubine Zhuang in front of him was far away and could not be seen very clearly, but she felt familiar with her demeanor, and couldn't help but feel very surprised.

After a while, he took the opportunity to take a peek again, and the scenes of him and the woman in front of him fighting physically in the Sanguan Temple could not stop appearing in his mind!

"My lord, since you want to be a loyal minister and a martyr, why not drink some soup, so that you can accuse or even insult the King Khan when you see the King Khan. In the future, you will be left behind in the history of the Han people who angrily denounced the King Khan and were killed. a sum."

That woman's clear and slightly blunt words are still in my ears.

Hong Chengchou thought about everything that happened in the Sanguan Temple together, and suddenly understood: it was she who once went to the Sanguan Temple to provoke the general with words and made him drink ginseng soup!After building up his courage, he went to visit several times, allowing him to taste the taste of the beauties of the Northland when he was desperate for death, and to experience the joy of life from being full of death ambitions.Then it took a turn for the worse, surrendering the old man to accept the money to lose sincerity, shaving his hair and changing clothes easily, from the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty to the new official of the Qing Dynasty!

He suddenly felt puzzled, thinking that it was impossible for the Lord Qing to order his favorite concubine to do this, but then he thought again, this place is different from the Central Plains, there is absolutely no doubt about this matter.He peeked at Concubine Zhuang again, and saw that although the attire was different, her face and demeanor were indeed her, but the eyes were more arrogant than charming, solemn rather than gentle, only the bright, handsome and intelligent eyes remained the same.

But Hong Chengchou knew that there was another face under this noble and solemn face. (To be continued..)

ps: Originally, I wanted to write a scene where Governor Hong fought against Bumbutai in the Sanguan Temple.But due to the situation, I have to apologize to everyone.However, you can imagine for yourself.Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!
