    Fan Wencheng read to an emotional point, his voice trembled and he almost cried.  Huang Taiji burst into tears: "Mr. Wen Cheng, 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 emperor cannot help himself, because the emperor has the country and the country on his shoulders. If he only loves his own woman and ignores the affairs of the country, he will be a confused emperor who does not understand his responsibilities. "

    Huang Taiji said: "You might as well be called a foolish king."

    "The second half of Tang Xuanzong's life was really a coward."

    "You mean to say that I am also a fool?"

    "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 faint king; Tang Xuanzong is just a faint king; Li Houzhu and Song Huizong are also faint kings. Li Houzhu is an unprecedented and unparalleled poet, and Song Huizong is a generation leader in the world of calligraphy and painting.  Literati will definitely be respected by the people of the world, but they are emperors who indulge in poetry, poetry, and painting all day long, ignoring national affairs. As a result, they lose their country and become prisoners. They are naturally regarded as faint kings by historians.  Another example is the little carpenter from the Ming Dynasty. If he had been born into a commoner 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 ignorant emperors who are either obsessed with love or obsessed with things. The emperor loves Concubine Chen.  I was heartbroken for a while, and even thought that this would soon be a thing of the past. In fact, if the emperor really loved Concubine Chen, he should not be like this.  , 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 throughout the ages?

    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: "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 know my fault, and I will use the earthquake as a warning. I will take care of myself from now on." He said to the guard, "Tell the ceremonial officer to resume the morning session."

    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 is good at what he does, and he is worthy of being a wise king."

    Daishan and others are waiting outside Xiangfeng Tower.  Seeing Fan Wencheng coming over muttering, he 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 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, rejoicing to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, with singing and dancing.  All Mongolian ministries and the Korean state sent envoys to pay homage with congratulatory gifts.  Zhasak Khan of Mobei Mongolia realized he had lost his way and sent envoys to pay tribute to Jiubai.  Bomu Boguoer of Sauron's 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 the day when the cities were destroyed would not be too far away.  Huang Taiji Sutra model article Cheng Zhijian has been freed from depression.  He sent Dorgon and Haoge 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 shadow of reinforcements was seen.  The first month has passed, and the city has run out of food again. What should we do if this continues?  He and Qiu Minyang discussed countermeasures more than once, but no one had any good ideas.  Cao Bianjiao relied on his bravery and led his troops to charge several times, but there was no result except the loss of troops and generals.

    Deputy General Xia Chengde said: "Your Majesty the 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 that.  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. 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. I'll see to it."

    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 surrender like this. I have an old friend in the Qing army named Gao Hongzhong. I heard that he is now a high official in the Qing Dynasty. I will write a seal  Letter, who of you dares to deliver it?¡±

    One of the brothers named Xia Yiming, who is from Xia Chengde's family, volunteered: "I am willing to go."

    Xia Chengde thought for a while: "It's best for you to 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 at that time."  ¡±

    Hauge met with Xia Yiming and after listening to his story, he concluded that the city had run out of food and it would not be a false surrender, not to mention that the other party still kept a hostage.  To take a step back, if it is a fake surrender, what can a group of extremely hungry soldiers do?  Gao Hongzhong is in Shengjing, tell him to confront him?  A round trip takes at least ten days, which is not necessary.  Therefore, 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 door of the Governor's Palace and sighed: "After the snow, there is another severe cold, and the soldiers are afraid that they will suffer again." He was worried about a Jurchen sneak attack on a snowy night.  , sent an order to each battalion to increase the number of patrols of the city. At around 11:00, he 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.  It is impossible for the Jurchens to attack.  After returning home, he simply took off his clothes and slept. He was so tired that he started snoring as soon as he hit the pillow.

    After all, Hong Chengchou is from the south and does not understand the habits of the Jurchens. The Jurchens originally lived in the ice and snow, climbing on the ice and lying in the snow.  They are accustomed to it, and they have their own skills in the snow.  Hauge saw heavy snow falling from the sky.  Extremely overjoyed: "God help me." He selected eight hundred warriors to climb the city. Just in case, he ordered the whole battalion to be ready.  If there is a scam, change the sneak attack to a hard attack and simply take it down.

    By the time we passed, the snow was gradually getting lighter, and the torch on the city head flashed three times, which was the signal agreed upon by both parties.  Eight hundred soldiers, wearing white cloaks, quickly came to the city.  Xia Changde prepared a lot of long ropes, and eight hundred people "brushed, brushed, brushed".  It didn't take long to climb up. With the cooperation of more than a thousand people including Xia Chengde, they captured the west gate. Hauge led his army into the city.

    Hong Chengchou was awakened by the shouts of killing. 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.  I sighed in my 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.¡±

    Hong Chengchou was desperate. He put on his clothes and sat on the handsome chair: "Hide? Where to hide? There are Qing soldiers everywhere." After saying that, he closed his eyes.  Cao Bianjiao became anxious: "Brothers, take Master Hong and fight your way out."

    Cao Bianjiao has a thousand dead soldiers under his command, whom he has trained for many years. They are all brave and good at fighting and extremely loyal to Cao Bianjiao.  Cao Bianjiao's reputation as a victorious general was largely due to this death squad.  As soon as Cao Bianjiao spoke, two small schools came up and drove Hong Chengchou away.  Hong Chengchou looked incompetent and allowed himself to be manipulated by the soldiers. After being mounted on his horse, he had no choice but to cheer up and kill towards the east gate under the protection of Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen and other soldiers.

    Cao Bianjiao used a golden spear in his hand and took the lead. Wherever the tip of the spear touched, there was a bloody mess.  A thousand death squads fought desperately. The Qing troops could not resist and were defeated steadily. When Cao Bianjiao and others were about to rush out of 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 a 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 fear. He covered his left and right, fought and retreated, and only wanted to protect Hong Chengchou and rush 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, and he wanted to conquer him.  But at this moment, Cao Bianjiao shot one of Hauge's soldiers. Hauge was jealous: You bastard, how dare you kill my soldiers.  Seeing that he couldn't take advantage of Cao Bianjiao by fighting hard, 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. The pain was so painful that he screamed, lay down on his horse and ran away.  How could Hauge let him slip away from his eyes, and then another arrow hit Cao Bianjiao's mount. The horse raised its front hooves in pain, and suddenly lifted Cao Bianjiao to the ground. The Qing soldiers rushed up and  Suddenly, he chopped randomly and turned Cao into minced meat.  A thousand dead soldiers became veritable dead soldiers, and all of them, including Wang Tingchen, were killed by the Qing soldiers.Shoot and kill, no one survives.

    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 he was running, 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 of the squad 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 over to check, and it turned out to be the governor's seal. He waved his hand and said, "Let's bury it safely."

    The general 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 man was captured and made a prisoner, and he was still happy. 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 serve as a 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 Obai: "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, so 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 fall off."

    In the afternoon, Hauge led his generals and the newly surrendered Zu Dale to the Dorgon camp in Jinzhou.  Dorgon welcomed him out of the tent: "I heard that Prince Su has destroyed 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 moment. He can persuade your brother not to resist stubbornly anymore and surrender as soon as possible to prevent more people from starving to death."

    Zu Dalue said: "This is exactly why the general is here."

    The generals and soldiers at the top of Jinzhou City saw Zu Dalue shouting below, and hurriedly ran down the city to report: "Report to Master Zu, Master Zu is now shouting below, and wants to see Master Zu by name."

    Everyone shouted in unison: "What nonsense? Speak slowly."

    "Master Zu, oh, no, Zu Dale 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 could see it clearly from below. The person 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 returned home.  (To be continued: Gone with the Sky. Registered members of literature recommend this work.
