Fan Wencheng read to an emotional point, his voice trembled, and he almost shed tears. Huang Taiji's face burst into tears: "Mr. Wencheng, I am in exactly this state of mind."
"Your Majesty, I thought that if Li Longji were an ordinary person and he loved his woman so much, he would be a true man and should set an example for the world. But he is not. He is an emperor, and the emperor will not allow ordinary people.
The feelings. The official cannot help himself, and the emperor cannot help himself, because the emperor has the country and the country on his shoulders. If you only know how to love your own woman and ignore the important affairs of the country, you will be a confused emperor who does not know his responsibilities."
Huang Taiji said: "You might as well be called a foolish king."
"Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was really a coward in the second half of his life."
"You mean to say that I am also a foolish king?"
"I dare not, but I think that a faint person is so obsessed with love and things that he is in a daze. A faint king is different from a tyrant. King Zhou was both a tyrant and a faint king; Qin Shihuang was just a tyrant, and Yang Guang was both a tyrant and a tyrant at the same time.
He is also a coward; Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty is just a coward; Empress Li and Huizong of the Song Dynasty are also cowards. Empress Li is an unprecedented and unprecedented poet who is unique in the world of poetry, and Huizong of the Song Dynasty is a generation leader in the world of calligraphy and painting. If the two are ordinary
Literati will definitely be respected by people in the world. But they are emperors. They indulge in poetry, lyrics, and painting all day long, ignoring national affairs. As a result, they lose their country and become prisoners. Naturally, they are regarded as faint kings by historians.
Another example is the little carpenter from the Ming Dynasty. If he had been born into a common people's family, he would have been a smart, hard-working and capable young man, and he would have even become a great master like Lu Ban. But he was the emperor and indulged in some ingenious and lustful things all day long.
. Entrusting all state affairs to Wei Zhongxian, the government has become increasingly unstable. These emperors are all foolish emperors who cannot clarify their responsibilities, or are obsessed with love or things. Our emperor of the Qing Dynasty is by no means a foolish emperor. The emperor loves Concubine Chen.
For a moment, I was heartbroken and even confused. I thought that these things would soon become a thing of the past. In fact, if the emperor really loved Concubine Chen, it would be even more inappropriate. If the emperor died because of a concubine, he would become ill and ignore the government affairs.
, how will future generations evaluate the emperor, and how will they evaluate Concubine Chen? The emperor is not worried that Concubine Chen will be infamy for eternity? Whenever a monarch misdirects his government, God will warn him, so there was an earthquake this morning. Please think twice, your emperor."
Huang Taiji was silent for a long time. Although Fan Wencheng's words were not pleasant to listen to, they made sense when he thought about it carefully: "Mr. Wencheng, get up. I know I was wrong. I was born in heaven. I originally wanted to comfort the world and calm the people, but now I am too mournful and can't
Self-restraint, I have really misled the government. The ancestors of heaven and earth knew my fault and warned me with the earthquake. From now on, you should behave yourself." He said to the guard, "Tell the officer of praise that the morning court will resume tomorrow."
Fan Wencheng did not expect that the emperor would accept the advice so calmly. When he came out of Qingning Palace, he said to himself: "The emperor follows the good deeds and is worthy of being a wise king."
Daishan and others were waiting outside Xiangfeng Tower. When they saw Fan Wencheng coming over muttering, they stepped forward and asked, "How are you, Mr. Wencheng?"
Fan Wencheng said: "Morning will resume tomorrow."
Dai Shan clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Wen Cheng, you have made another great contribution to the Qing Dynasty."
In the first month of the seventh year of Chongde, the city of Shengjing was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. It was a joyous occasion to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. There was singing and dancing. Envoys from various Mongolian ministries and Korea were sent to pay homage with congratulatory gifts. Zasak Khan of Mobei Mongolia realized that he had lost his way and returned.
Envoys were also sent to pay tribute to Jiubai. Bomu Boguoer of the Sauron tribe was also captured alive by Ba Qilan. The Heilongjiang area was basically pacified. The two cities of Jinzhou and Songshan had already run out of food and would not be destroyed.
Too far. Huang Taiji Jing Fan Wen Chengzhi admonished him and he was freed from depression. He sent Dorgon and Hauge to Songjin in exchange for Dudu, Abatai, Azig and others.
Hong Chengchou's team was trapped in an isolated city and was relying on killing horses to survive. He had never fought such a useless battle. An army of hundreds of thousands collapsed overnight. Now there are only more than 10,000 people left. Five months have passed.
, not even a single sign of reinforcements was seen. The first month had passed, and the city was out of food. What should we do if things continued like this? He and Qiu Minyang discussed countermeasures more than once, but no one had any good ideas. Cao Bianjiao relied on himself.
He was brave and led his troops to charge several times, but there was no result except the loss of troops and generals.
Lieutenant General Xia Chengde said: "Sir Governor, for the sake of more than 10,000 brothers, let's surrender."
Hong Chengchou's eyes widened and he cursed: "Do you want me to be infamy for all eternity? I am a Jinshi scholar and deeply favored by the emperor. If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent person. An Neng will become a thief and become a traitor? You can't do it.
Nonsense, be careful with the sword above me!"
Xia Chengde was disappointed and returned to the camp and cursed: "What the hell are you pretending to be a loyal minister and a filial son? I haven't eaten for a day, so I can't die with you." He decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, so he went to find him privately.
Several brothers who have been through life and death for many years discussed it: "Brothers, we have reached this point. We can't just sit and wait for death. Let me see how we surrender."
Everyone almost unanimously agreed: "Brother, you have the final say. We will follow you and we cannot wait to die."
Xia Chengde said: "The two countries are fighting each other and are on guard against each other. It is hard for the Qing army to believe that we surrendered like this. I have an old friend in the Qing army named Gao Hongzhong. I heard that he is now a senior official in the Qing Dynasty. I am writing a letter.
Which of you dares to deliver it?"
One of the brothers, named Xia Yiming, is Xia Chengde's descendant. He volunteered: "I am willing to go there."
Xia Chengde thought for a while: "It's best if you go. Just say that you are my adopted son, but you can stay in Qingying as a mortgage. If you go, don't come back. As for the time of the incident, it will be decided by others. We will try to contact you then."
."
Hauge met with Xia Yiming and after listening to his story, he concluded that the city had run out of food and it was not a false surrender, not to mention that the other party had left a hostage. To say the least, if it was a false surrender, what could a group of hungry soldiers do?
Gao Hongzhong was in Shengjing and told him to confront him? A round trip would take at least ten days, which was unnecessary. So, after some secret negotiations, the two parties agreed to take action late at night on February 18th.
On the night of February 18th, there were thick clouds and heavy snowfall. Hong Chengchou looked at the heavy snow outside the governor's palace and sighed: "After the snow, there is another severe cold, and the soldiers are afraid they will suffer again." He was worried about a Jurchen sneak attack on a snowy night.
, ordered each battalion to increase the number of patrols of the city. At around 11:00, he even went to the city in person and walked around. When he saw that the snow had fallen more than a foot thick, he felt relieved: it was snowing so heavily that the Jurchens could not attack. After returning home,
He simply took off his clothes and went to sleep. He was so tired that he started snoring as soon as he hit the pillow.
After all, Hong Chengchou was from the south and did not understand the habits of the Jurchens. The Jurchens originally lived in the ice and snow, climbing on the ice and lying on the snow. They were accustomed to it. In the snow, they had their own set of skills. Hauge saw heavy snowfall from the sky and was extremely happy: "
God help me." He selected eight hundred warriors to climb the city. Just in case, he ordered the whole battalion to be on standby. If there was a trick, the sneak attack would be changed to a hard attack, and he would simply take it down.
When they passed by, the snow gradually became lighter, and the torch on the city wall waved three times, which was the signal agreed by both parties. Eight hundred soldiers, wearing white cloaks, quickly came to the city. Xia Changde prepared many long ropes, and eight hundred soldiers
The people "brushed, brushed, brushed". It didn't take long for them to climb up. With the cooperation of more than a thousand people including Xia Chengde, they captured the west gate, and Hauge led his army into the city.
Hong Chengchou was awakened by the shouts of killing, and the soldiers who escaped from the west gate reported: "My lord governor, Xia Chengde colluded with the Qing soldiers and captured the west gate. The Qing soldiers entered the city."
Hong Chengchou glared and cursed Xia Chengde: "Scum, traitor." But in an instant, he calmed down. He sighed in his heart: "This day has finally arrived."
Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen were fully clothed and rushed into the mansion: "My lord, the matter is urgent. Leave the green hills here and don't worry about running out of firewood. The general will charge in front. My lord, follow me closely. Go out of the east gate and find a place."
Let’s hide first and then talk.”
Hong Chengchou was desperate. He put on his clothes and sat on the handsome chair: "Hide? Where are you hiding? There are Qing soldiers everywhere." After saying that, he closed his eyes. Cao Bianjiao became anxious: "Brothers, ride on the flood
Sir, fight your way out."
Cao Bianjiao has a thousand dead soldiers under him, whom he has trained for many years. They are all brave and good at fighting, and are extremely loyal to Cao Bianjiao. Most of Cao Bianjiao's reputation as a victorious general is due to this death squad. As soon as Cao Bianjiao spoke, two people
The primary school came up and drove Hong Chengchou away. Hong Chengchou looked like he was incompetent and allowed himself to be manipulated by the soldiers. After being mounted, he had no choice but to cheer up and head toward the east gate under the protection of Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen and other soldiers.
Kill.
Cao Bianjiao used a golden spear in his hand and took the lead. Wherever the tip of the spear touched, there was blood. A thousand death squads fought desperately. The Qing army could not resist, and they were killed and retreated. Seeing that Cao Bianjiao and others were about to rush out.
At the east gate, Hauge arrived.
Xia Chengde said loudly next to Hauge: "Your Majesty, the person rushing at the front is Cao Bianjiao, the person on his left is Wang Tingchen, and the person lying on the horse behind is Hong Chengchou!"
Hauge shouted: "Brothers, rush forward and capture Hong Chengchou alive."
Hauge took the lead in attacking Cao Bianjiao, and the dozen generals behind Hauge rushed forward. A good tiger cannot control a pack of wolves, but Cao Bianjiao fought against more than ten generals without any fear. He covered his left and right, and fought.
He retreated, only wanting to protect Hong Chengchou and rushing out. Hauge had heard about Cao Bianjiao's reputation for a long time, and when he saw it today, he found that his reputation was well-deserved, so he wanted to conquer him. But at this moment, Cao Bianjiao shot one of Hauge's soldiers to death.
Hauge was jealous: You bastard, how dare you kill my soldiers. Seeing that he couldn't take advantage of Cao Bianjiao in a hard fight, he took advantage of the melee, hid behind a soldier, stretched out his bow and arrow, and shot at Cao Bianjiao.
How could Cao Bianjiao be on guard? When he looked at the arrow, it had already hit his right shoulder. He screamed in pain, lay down on his horse and ran away. How could Hauge let him escape from under his nose? Another arrow followed.
, hit Cao Bianjiao's horse, the horse was so painful that it raised its front hooves high, and suddenly lifted Cao Bianjiao to the ground. The Qing army rushed up and chopped Cao Bianjiao into a pulp. A thousand dead soldiers became
The real dead soldiers, including Wang Tingchen, were all shot to death by the Qing soldiers, and no one survived.
Hong Chengchou had already rushed out of the east gate because he was running ahead. At this moment, his mind was blank, just like the vast white land. He had no idea what was happening behind him, where to run, what to do, and even more so.
Without even thinking about it, he kept driving forward like crazy.
In this battle, Hong Chengchou was defeated again, and countless of his subordinates were also captured by the Qing soldiers...
...
It was still Hong Chengchou's governor's palace; today, it has become Hauge's residence.
The generals gathered at the camp one after another to report on the situation of cleaning up the battlefield. Hauge asked: "Where is Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong?"
Xia Chengde came out and said: "Your Majesty, Qiu Minyang died in the rebellion. His body is now outside the camp. This is the governor's seal found from Qiu Minyang's body."
Hauge took it and checked it, and it turned out to be the governor's seal. He waved his hand and said, "Let's bury it safely."
The generals escorted Zu Dale in. Although Zu Dale was tied up with five flowers, he grinned and kept smiling. He didn't look like a prisoner at all.
Hey! Everyone looked strange: This person was captured and made a prisoner, and he still had fun. There must be something wrong with him.
Haug shouted: "Since the commander-in-chief has been captured, why are you laughing?"
Zu Dalue knelt down and played: "Your Majesty, I don't know. I have long wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but my brother refused. Today, I was captured. I got my wish, so I laughed. In the end, I am willing to submit to the Qing Dynasty to follow the example of the dog and horse."
"
Hauge was so amused by him that he also laughed: "In that case, quickly untie the commander-in-chief, and after dinner, we will rush to Jinzhou with the king."
After Zu Dale went down, Hauge secretly told Obei: "Tonight you take a thousand elite soldiers and escort Hong Chengchou back to the capital. Hong Chengchou is the most senior general captured by our dynasty since the war with the Ming Dynasty. He is an extremely important figure.
The emperor must pay great attention to it. Therefore, we must take strict precautions along the way and serve him well to avoid any accidents."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely hand over a complete Hong Chengchou to the Emperor, and not even a hair will be lost."
In the afternoon, Hauge led his generals and the newly surrendered Zu Dale to Dorgon's camp in Jinzhou. Dorgon greeted him outside the tent: "I heard that Prince Su has broken Songshan?"
Hauge said: "Songshan has been destroyed, Hong Chengchou has been captured, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen and others have been killed, and the commander-in-chief Zu Dalue has voluntarily surrendered."
Zu Dalue came forward and knelt down: "General Zu Dalue pays homage to Prince Dorgon."
Dorgon said: "General Zu is here just in time. He will go to the city to shout in a while, so as to persuade your brother not to resist stubbornly anymore and to surrender as soon as possible to prevent more people from starving to death."
Zu Dalue said: "This is exactly why the general is here."
When the generals and soldiers at the top of Jinzhou City saw Zu Dalue shouting below, they hurriedly ran down the city to report: "Report to Master Zu. Master Zu is now shouting below, calling by name to see Master Zu."
Everyone shouted in unison: "What nonsense? Speak slowly."
"Master Zu, oh, no, Zu Dalue is shouting below the city, urging Master Zu to surrender to the Qing Dynasty."
Zu Dashou understood as soon as he heard it: "It's over, Songshan City has fallen." He put on his cloak and hurriedly landed on the top of the city.
Zu Dalue saw clearly below that the man in the middle surrounded by the generals was his brother Zu Dashou. He shouted:
"Brother, Songshan City has been destroyed, Commander Hong has been captured, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Qiu Minyang and others have all died in the battle. Let's surrender and stop working for Chongzhen. Brother, I'm begging you here."
After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. All the generals in the city focused their attention on Zu Dashou.
After hearing this, Zu Dashou said nothing, then turned around and went back home. (To be continued: Gone with the Sky. This work is recommended by registered literature members.
