After the news of the recovery of Hangzhou reached Nanjing, Zhu Hengjia was overjoyed and wrote the words "Walking in the Snow: General Ci Yan":
Who can cross Qiantang, a thousand miles away?
Hengdao immediately sealed Pinglu.
Corpses are everywhere, ghosts and ghosts are everywhere, and the road to the underworld is desolate.
If we get together less and stay apart more, why bother!
I hope you will return to Nandu soon.
Climbing to the Range Rover Yuhuatai, it’s already spring in the south of the Yangtze River.
Along with this poem, there was also an imperial edict ordering Yan Tianfeng to lead 80,000 land troops and 20,000 naval troops north to South Zhili.
Since ancient times, the Huai River must be defended when guarding the river, and the Huai River area is still in the hands of the Tartars. Zhu Hengjia is not at ease if heavy troops are not stationed in southern Zhili.
Yang Huai and Lin Cha were ordered to lead the water and 40,000 land troops to stay in Zhejiang.
He also ordered General Gu Shan'e Zhenjin Li, Jiangxi Governor Cai Shiying, Zhejiang Governor Xiao Qiyuan, and Commander-in-Chief Tong Bingqi to be escorted to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment in Nanjing. They would be kept until the day of the Qingming Festival to offer sacrifices to the Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Made in the Ming Dynasty, Xiaoling Mausoleum makes wine and fruit fragrant every New Year's Day, Mengdong, the birthday of Taizu, and the death anniversary of Taizu and Queen Xiaocigao; during the Qingming Festival, the Zhongyuan Festival, and the Winter Solstice, sacrifices are made to Tailao, which are "five small sacrifices and three major sacrifices." At this time, the Winter Solstice Festival has passed, and we can only wait for the Qingming Festival. Zhu Hengjia specially ordered that these big traitors must be well fed until the Qingming Festival.

At the General Affairs Office of Beijing, a few gatekeepers stood feebly when a middle-aged man suddenly came.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The middle-aged man straightened his clothes and replied loudly: "I am Xiao Zhong, the servant of Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of Zhejiang Province. I have come here to present to the emperor my master's "Sorrow of Bloodshed and Expression of Expression of Expression and Gratitude to God in Facing Difficulties" to the Emperor."
.
Good guy, "To express one's love in the face of adversity", just by hearing these few words, you can tell that this statement is not trivial. The soldiers did not dare to stop it, and soon, this statement was spread layer by layer to the imperial court of Emperor Shunzhi.<
/p>
When Emperor Shunzhi carefully read Xiao Qiyuan's memorial, especially the sentence: "With one blow of my sword, on the day the city falls, I will risk my life to repay the kindness of my country", he was moved to tears and said, "Xiao Aiqing is a true loyal minister! If anyone
Everyone is like Xiao Aiqing, how can the country be in such a decline!"
After a long while, Emperor Shunzhi shouted: "I will personally lead hundreds of officials to pay homage to Xiao Aiqing!"
After suffering consecutive defeats, he urgently needed to set an example of a loyal minister who sacrificed his life for the country, so that other ministers could learn from it and serve the Qing Dynasty.
When she heard that the emperor wanted to personally lead hundreds of officials to pay homage to Xiao Qiyuan, the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng hurriedly dissuaded her: "Your Majesty, Xiao Qiyuan's loyalty is indeed worthy of commendation, but it is inconsistent with etiquette for you to pay homage to him in person. Since ancient times, kings and ministers are like father and son, and you are the king and father.
, he is a minister, how can it be that a king’s father should pay homage to a minister himself? Just send a capable minister to pay homage to you."
Emperor Shunzhi thought for a while and said: "The Queen E Niang (E Ni) is right. I asked Sony to go for me. However, I have to write the memorial text myself."
Empress Dowager Zhaosheng said: "Emperor, please calm down. After all, there is no news out in Hangzhou yet. We don't know whether Xiao Qiyuan is alive or dead. It is too early to write a memorial memorial now."
"Well, Queen Mother is right, I will wait a little longer."
More than a month later, news came that the Ming army had captured Hangzhou. However, there was no news about Xiao Qiyuan. Xiao Qiyuan and other traitors had been secretly taken to Nanjing, so naturally there was no news.
Emperor Shunzhi had a very paranoid character. Since he believed the letter and there was no news about Xiao Qiyuan, he naturally died for his country.
So he ordered Sony, the minister of internal affairs and minister of political affairs, to pay homage to Xiao Qiyuan on his behalf.
He also personally made the following inscriptions:
In January of the 10th year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1653), the emperor sent officials to pay homage to the soul of Xiao Qiyuan, the late governor of Zhejiang, and wrote:
Woohoo! The country is troubled, and half of it is ruined. To govern the country, it depends on loyal ministers. If Wu Tian doesn't care, my arm will be broken. I am so weak in virtue. I am so weak, my heart is like a knife, and my heart is broken!
In the past, the pseudo-King Lu of Ming Dynasty was wreaking havoc, so he ordered his ministers to patrol Zhejiang, control divisions and brigade, and sweep away Wu and Yue. He drove thousands of miles, and those who were good at fighting had great achievements; after five years of hard work, those who closed the border did not have to worry about losing their territory. The atmosphere of thieves was cleared up in the period.
, the beautiful sun shines all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Unexpectedly, King Jing of the false Ming Dynasty invaded again, and the war started again in the south of the Yangtze River. I relied on Qing as Qiancheng, was ordered to care for Zhejiang, and personally fought in the army. I did not make any achievements, but suddenly became a national disaster. Alas!
The isolated city hangs far away, and it is difficult to hope for a single soldier to come to the rescue; hold on with an empty stomach, but fight for the great cause of the future. Generously swearing to the army, beating drums to supervise the battle, and carrying a sword to show loyalty. Such loyalty and bravery have been rare since ancient times. Respect and righteousness are comparable to those of others.
.However, although the city is strong, it cannot withstand the roar of thousands of cannons, and eventually collapses. However, you still shout to kill the enemy and supervise the soldiers to fight in the streets; the war horses are hit by arrows, and then they fight on foot; the steel swords are curled, and the sleeves of the robe are stained with blood; in the end, they are exhausted.
, stabbed himself with a horizontal knife. At that time, there were gusty winds, the sun and the moon were dim, war drums were singing in unison, the wind in the wilderness was sad, the drizzle was falling, and it was hard to stop, but sincerely, the heaven and the earth wept for it!
After many years of misfortune, I fell into several provinces, lost important ministers, and God punished me. I am responsible for the crime. I built temples and temples, discussed posthumous titles, paid tributes to people, and declared them in the annals of history. Woohoo! Even though you are dead, you are immortal.
.The majestic energy turns into a rainbow; the famous festival is passed down to future generations. The soul returns and is still alive!
??
Emperor Shunzhi did not expect that his memorial poem would save Xiao Qiyuan's life.
The all-pervasive Jin Yiwei quickly reported the contents of the memorial to Zhu Hengjia.
Zhu Hengjia had just founded Guangwu, and was planning to take Xiao Qiyuan and other traitors to the Xiaoling Slaughter Pavilion on the Qingming Day, where they would be chopped into pieces with thousands of knives to demonstrate their martial arts.
After hearing the report, I was stunned. What? The Tatar emperor paid homage to Xiao Qiyuan with a national ceremony and even wrote the memorial text himself?
Emperor Guangwu was a politician who had experienced many hardships and had good skills. He immediately felt that this person could not be killed. Not only could he not be killed, but he had to be persuaded to surrender and "reuse" him.
At that time, Emperor Chongzhen wrote a memorial to commemorate Hong Chengchou, but as a result, Hong Chengchou was demoted to the Qing Dynasty, which dealt a heavy blow to the people of the Ming Dynasty. If a person who had received such a deep favor was demoted, who in the world could not be demoted?
In the same way, if Xiao Qiyuan, the "great loyal minister" who Emperor Shunzhi personally wrote a memorial to commemorate, surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely have a heavy blow to the hearts of the Tatars.
Zhu Hengjia thought about the matter of persuading surrender and handed it over to Tong Yangjia, the governor of Liaodong.
The role of example in persuading surrender by demoting one’s official position is very obvious.
Tong Yangjia offered advice: "Your Majesty, I think that if I want to persuade Xiao Qiyuan to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, I must first control his family members."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhu Hengjia nodded and asked, "Where are his family members?"
"On the other side of the river is Yangzhou."
"So close?"
Zhu Hengjia laughed loudly, "I sent Guo Lin to handle this matter, it's easy to hear!"
??
Xiao Qiyuan was sleeping soundly. Zhang De, the prison chief of the Ministry of Punishment, woke him up and sneered: "Get up, I've made a good meal for you today."
Several jailers served wine and food, including chicken, duck, fish and meat, as well as a pot of Zhuangyuanhong.
Xiao Qiyuan was surprised, "Is this a decapitation meal?"
Asked Zhang De: "After this meal, are you going to send me on your way?"
Zhang De followed Tong Yangjia's instructions and said: "Yes, I will escort you to Xiaoling and execute you in Lingchi in memory of the Emperor Gao."
When Xiao Qiyuan heard the word "Lingchi", he was so frightened that there were tears in his eyes and he didn't even want to enjoy the food and wine.
Zhang De cursed in his heart, Bah, you are a coward, you are still a dignified governor, but you are so timid!
After returning, report Xiao Qiyuan's reaction to Tong Meijia.
Tong Yangjia laughed, "In this case, this matter is easy to do!"
He went to see Xiao Qiyuan in person and saw that he was stunned silently, without taking a bite of his food.
"Brother Xiao, after all, we both served as officials in the Qing Dynasty before. I'm here to see Brother Xiao off," Tong Yangjia said to Xiao Qiyuan.
Xiao Qiyuan burst into tears and said, "Thank you very much, Tong Duxian."
"Brother Xiao, why don't you surrender to the Ming Dynasty? I can plead with Your Majesty on my behalf."
"Alas!"
Xiao Qiyuan sighed but said nothing.
Tong Yangjia smiled, "Brother Xiao, are you worried about your family in Yangzhou? To be honest, your family has been secretly taken to Nanjing by the Jin Yiwei. We are going to kill them with you in front of Xiaoling Mausoleum!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiyuan's soul flew away, and he knelt down with a thump, "The sinner is willing to surrender, please Tong Duxian to intercede with the Holy One on my behalf!"
??
At first, Emperor Shunzhi didn't believe it when he heard the news that Xiao Qiyuan was not dead. Xiao Qiyuan came to the Ming Dynasty? Are you kidding me?
Slowly, there are more and more rumors, and the evidence becomes more and more conclusive.
"Damn it! Aqina (fish frozen in the ice)! Seth Hei (hateful)! This traitor Xiao Qiyuan actually dares to deceive the emperor! I will punish his nine tribes!"
Emperor Shunzhi was furious.
Internal warden Wu Liangfu reported: "Your Majesty, we just received news from Yangzhou Prefecture that Xiao Qiyuan's family members were taken away."
"Bang bang", Emperor Shunzhi was so angry that he threw the tea bowl.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and have a bowl of sour plum soup." Heshuo Gege Kong Sizhen brought a bowl of sour plum soup over.
In the past, as long as Kong Sizhen drank sour plum soup, most of Emperor Shunzhi's anger disappeared.
This time it was different. He was so angry that his lungs were blocked and needed to be cleared.
Emperor Shunzhi went crazy, ignoring Kong Sizhen's struggles and cries, and carried her to the palace.
