Chapter Forty-Six: Traitor or Loyalty: This is indeed a question

Huang Taiji believes that Hong Chengchou is only engaged in a psychological struggle at present, and once the desire to survive exceeds the persistence of faith, then Hong Chengchou will have to surrender sooner or later.

The most important thing for the Qing Dynasty at present is not to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but to think about how to completely turn the identity of Huangtaiji Khan into an emperor.

Only by establishing a strict bureaucratic system can the Qing Dynasty truly escape the vicious circle of 'Hu people have no national fortune for a hundred years'.

Therefore, he is full of expectations for Hong Chengchou.

The name Khan may seem like that of the Emperor, but in fact, the difference between the two is too great.

Since ancient times, the Khan has ruled over the region, and he is only the nominal leader of the tribes except for the tribes directly under his control. Therefore, the power of the khan was much inferior to that of the emperor.

In the land of China, the reason why the emperor can be called the emperor is because the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, these two sentences are supported.

At the same time, it also indicates that the emperor is the master of all peoples, and at the same time, he is also the master of the earth.

Huang Taiji used to firmly believe that he would become a real emperor, but now, he is not very sure, and just wants to start running Liaodong and North Korea after taking Shanhaiguan to protect himself.

Once Yun Zhao is stationed in the Central Plains, the offensive and defensive forces between the Ming and the Qing Dynasty will immediately change positions.

Huang Taiji believes that for a long time, the Qing Dynasty was worried about destroying the country, and if the Qing Dynasty could not be sorted out into a monolith before Yunzhao seized the Ming Dynasty's homeland, the Ming Dynasty would be a lesson for the Qing Dynasty.

This is Huang Taiji's idea.

Dolgon didn't think so, his focus was not on politics, but on military affairs.

He also knew that Yun Zhao would be the most vicious enemy of the Great Qing, so when facing this cruel wild boar, he could only be beaten to death with a stick, and he didn't think that there was any room for turning around between the Ming and the Great Qing.

As for the ridiculous thing of turning enemies into friends, Dorgon didn't believe a word.

If Yun Zhao becomes gentle towards Daqing at some point, then there must be a conspiracy in between.

Dolgon believed that artillery, muskets, knives, bows and arrows were far more useful than lips when dealing with Yun Zhao, and that it was only possible to have a meaningful conversation by breaking off all the fangs of the boar spirit with these things.

For this reason, he had sent people from Korea to the Japanese kingdom to negotiate arms deals with the Dutch and Spaniards, and had high hopes for this.

That is, because of different views, he does not have too high expectations for Hong Chengchou, just a general, it is indeed not worth their patience and price.

In just two conversations, Hong Chengchou has keenly discovered the contradiction between Huang Taiji and Dolgon, and this contradiction is almost irreconcilable.

So, he put down the pen in his hand and began to study what he could do here in Jianzhou.

After pondering for a night, he happily discovered that it was far easier to be a traitor than to be a loyal minister......

So, he told Fan Wencheng, who came to visit him: "If Huangtai Jiken releases the sixty-seven soldiers captured in Xingshan, he can choose to serve the Qing Dynasty once." ”

Fan Wencheng was overjoyed when he heard the news and immediately reported to Huang Taiji.

The sixty-seven captured soldiers were worthless in the eyes of Huang Taiji.

When these people were sent to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou sincerely thanked Fan Wencheng and asked Fan Wencheng to send these soldiers to Beacon Mountain.

He left a wounded soldier behind to keep him company......

Fan Wencheng felt that this was not a big deal, after all, the wounded soldier had already been tortured and had only one breath left.

What he didn't know was that among the sixty-seven captured soldiers, there was a big fish named Chen Dong, and this big fish was actually left by him by Hong Chengchou's side.

This person was already seriously wounded, and when he fled, he was hit by another arrow in the leg, and when he chose to commit suicide or surrender, he chose to surrender without hesitation...... And right beside him, there was a wounded Ming army charging at Jiannu in despair.

Hong Chengchou personally took care of Chen Dong, who was seriously injured, and this scene was very relieved in the eyes of Fan Wencheng, who said that he even thought that he was one step closer to success.

"I killed Hong Fu, do you know?"

Hong Chengchou said while washing his hands: "I heard a gunshot. ”

"I was going to kill you, but Hong Fu stood in front of my gun."

Hong Chengchou said lightly: "At that time, I didn't even know if I could survive, and I really couldn't care about Hong Fu's life and death. ”

"Don't you hate me?"

Hong Chengchou was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "In this dog's world, life and death don't matter right or wrong. ”

"You've finally surrendered to Jiannu, haven't you?"

Hong Chengchou brought a bowl of medicine and poured it into Chen Dong's stomach and said, "Didn't you also surrender?" ”

Chen Dong shook his head and said: "I'm different, surrender today, if I can see Huang Taiji tomorrow, maybe I will become a Lantian dead soldier and assassinate Huang Taiji." ”

Hong Chengchou sneered and said, "Do you think I will be inferior to you?" ”

Chen Dong smiled, pointed at Hong Chengchou and said, "I know that you have a deep relationship with Hong Fu's master and servant, and when we leave Liaodong, you can take revenge on me." ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said: "Hong Fu is already very old, and he has been unable to do things in the past few years, the reason why he followed me is to give me his life, you know no, Hong Fu has seven sons, two daughters, fourteen grandsons, and granddaughters." ”

"So what?"

That is to say, Lao Hongfu has not regarded himself as a living person for a long time, he just wants to earn a family business for his sons and grandchildren while he is still dead, and now, his goal has been achieved, I owe him a life, and you also owe him a life.

The two of us will have to pay back his life.

You just have to help him fulfill his wish, kill him, and you can forget. ”

"Huh?"

"What's the call, everyone in this world actually has the value of their own life engraved on their heads, my life may be worth a little, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to sell it for tens of thousands of taels, how much is your life worth in the eyes of your county honor?"

"Priceless."

"Hehe, you think highly of yourself."

"At least that's what the county said."

Hong Chengchou stuffed the urine jar into Chen Dong's quilt, then washed his hands again and said, "Huang Taiji and Dolgon are not compatible. ”

Chen Dong groaned, "So what? ”

Hong Chengchou smiled again: "When I saw Huang Taiji, he spoke more intensely, and he had a nosebleed." ”

"So what? It's not bloodshed. ”

The surrounding guards and Fan Wencheng were not panicked, and the maids were also familiar with handling this matter, and it seemed that Huang Taiji always had nosebleeds.

This is no longer a minor problem.

You see, Huang Taiji's complexion is far more ruddy than ordinary people, and his body is obese, and when he is excited, he will have nosebleeds, which is already an extremely serious disease of wind.

In such a person must abstain from anger and mourning, otherwise he will die suddenly.

Chen Dong, you said that if you give him an extreme stimulus, what results do you think will be? ”

Chen Dong was stunned for a moment and said, "Huang Taiji will die?" ”

Hong Chengchou put his mouth on the root of Chen Dong's ear and said softly: "We don't know if it will die, but now, since the two of us have been reduced to Fanbang, we can't sit still, right?" ”

"However, the current situation of the two of us, I'm afraid we don't have the ability to make Huang Taiji angry, or compassionate, right?"

Hong Chengchou smiled, first pointing to the urine jar that Chen Dong took out, and Chen Dong immediately put it under the bed.

Only then did Hong Chengchou say: "I remember telling you just now that Huang Taiji and Dolgon are not in agreement? ”

Chen Dong nodded honestly.

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "In this case, we might as well take refuge in Dolgon and instigate Dolgon to plot to usurp the throne!" ”

Chen Dong gasped and said with a toothache: "You said earlier that you are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and I believe it." ”

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "I shouldn't have told you this, I just did it alone, the reason why I want to tell you is that I am afraid that you will suddenly burst out and kill me, in addition, with you as a witness, my innocence can be guaranteed." ”

Chen Dong's cheeks twitched a few times and he said with emotion: "I finally understand why the county lord values you so much.

At the beginning, I thought that it was completely unworthy and unfair for the county to ignore the lives of my two hundred black-clothed people in Lantian to keep you safe, but now it seems that it is indeed worth exchanging the lives of our people for your lives. ”

Hong Chengchou snorted at the sky, and then stopped talking.

The weather in Liaodong is not very good, after a wind, the weather gradually becomes cooler, especially after entering September, every day is as cool as a day.

In the past half a month, no matter how Dolgon and others attacked Beacon Ridge, they did not make any good progress.

With the defeat and capture of Hong Chengchou, the differences in the Ming army seemed to disappear all at once, whether it was Wu Sangui, or Cao Bianjiao, Wang Pu, Zhang Ruolin, these people became very united.

After all, Hong Chengchou alone has memorized all the charges of losing his teacher and humiliating the country, and as long as they can defend Beacon Mountain, it will be a great credit.

And the fact that Hong Chengchou was defeated and captured also spread all over the world, which is very ridiculous, and people all over the world began to criticize Hong Chengchou, and everyone said that the defeat of Liaodong was defeated by Hong Chengchou.

Just when everyone reprimanded Hong Chengchou, Emperor Chongzhen set up an altar in Beijing to worship Hong Chengchou.

This is the common disease of Emperor Chongzhen, he never treated Lu Xiangsheng well when he was alive, and even personally ordered to kill Lu Xiangsheng, and later, he regretted it, and regretted it very much......

When Sun Chuanting struggled to die for him in pain, he regarded Sun Chuanting as nothing, and it was not until Sun Chuanting died in battle that he almost fainted with grief.

Now, it's Hong Chengchou's turn.

The emperor set up an altar in Beijing to pay tribute to Hong Chengchou, and the reason why everyone in the world knows it is not to commemorate Hong Chengchou, but to force Hong Chengchou to commit suicide immediately for his eternal name!

When Dolgon sneered and told Hong Chengchou the news, he looked at his pale face with indescribable pride.

"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" Hong Chengchou was devastated.

Dolgon looked at Hong Chengchou's face mockingly and said, "Are you really going to die?" ”

Hong Chengchou roared: "Why don't you die? ”
