Chapter 21 Confirming the news of Hong Chengchou's surrender
Hong Chengchou was surprised by Huang Taiji's diligence in learning Han culture! Because he saw that Huang Taiji was always in hand, and the books he held were all the books he praised as classics by the Han people. He was studying Han culture hard. Not only Huang Taiji was studying himself, he also asked all the princes, Beile, Beizi and others to study Han culture diligently!
It is really rare to work hard and work so hard! And what you are learning is the culture of the enemy country! Relatively speaking, Chongzhen only thought about being the best country in the heavens! But he didn't think about how to learn from the other party's strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and also despise the Qing Dynasty and did not know himself or her enemies at all. However, the Qing Dynasty was completely the opposite. In this way, how could the Ming army be invincible?
When Huang Taiji saw Hong Chengchou looking at him, he couldn't help but smile. He came to Hong Chengchou in person and said, "Mr. Hong! I will learn the culture of your Han people well when I am free! I often let Han Confucian scholars explain continuously! Even my son, I often urge them to study hard!"
Hong Chengchou, who was extremely surprised, couldn't help but bow again and again! He really admired Huang Taiji! Finally, he understood why the Qing Dynasty was prosperous and stronger under the rule of Huang Taiji!
Huang Taiji said again: "Mr. Hong, how can you be ruthless if you are not a plant? I know that you are still concerned about your hometown! Moreover, your parents and relatives are in the Ming Dynasty. If the news of your surrender spreads, they will be in danger! And maybe your old relatives will scold you! This will be detrimental to your family! So I decided that I will strictly block the news of your surrender! Even if I can't wrap it up, there is no airtight wall in the world! But I know that as long as you have time, your relatives can get through the difficulties, and maybe Chongzhen will not harm your family!"
Hong Chengchou said with great confidence: "Your Majesty, one thing I can be sure of is that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty will never harm my family! I am very confident about this!"
"Oh?" Huang Taiji laughed, and he thought to himself: "If Hong Chengchou is true as Hong Chengchou said, and Hong Chengchou knows his emperor's mind so well, then I will help me more when I enter the Central Plains in the future! This move I persuaded him to surrender proves that it is right! Hong Chengchou, I hope what you said is true!"
At this time, Dorgon and Duoduo were talking secretly. Duoduo said, "Brother, have you heard of it? Zhang Biwu made a bet with Cao Bianjiao in Beijing that Hong Chengchou would surrender! The whole country of the Southern Dynasty believed that Hong Chengchou was a first-class loyal minister and would not surrender! But now the facts prove that Zhang Biwu was right!"
Dorgon nodded and said, "I think our emperor will have a plan to deal with Zhang Biwu! Let's wait and see!" Dorgon thought in his heart, but next, he also needs to have a letter to Zhang Biwu so that Zhang Biwu can know.
Dorgon secretly sent someone to do it. He wanted to have more friendships with Zhang Biwu because he had already had a plan to retaliate against Huang Taiji in his heart.
It was Dorgon's move that helped Zhang Biwu a lot, and later led to Zhang Biwu helping Dorgon a big favor, which was considered to be a favor from Dorgon.
At this time, Beijing was busy celebrating Hong Chengchou. A Guandi Temple in Beijing was used to create a temple for Hong Chengchou. Moreover, famous scholars all praised Hong Chengchou, and masterpieces of calligraphy emerged one after another. They all had to pay tribute to this great national hero, and even treated Hong Chengchou as a great hero like Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang.
Because when the news of Zhang Biwu saying that Hong Chengchou surrendered came out, some people came to Zhang Biwu's residence and kept beating him. They were all cursing, saying that Zhang Biwu was really a dog-eyed person! How could he say that the great hero surrendered? This is absolutely impossible!
There are also many rumors that the reason why the great hero Hong Chengchou was trapped in the Eastern Captains and sacrificed his life for his country was that Zhang Biwu was jealous of the talented people and deliberately did not rescue Hong Chengchou.
If Zhang Biwu had not been guarded by all the military soldiers, these so-called "just" might have rushed in and had to make Zhang Biwu look good.
What can Zhang Biwu do when he sees this situation? He can only sigh! As long as the news of Hong Chengchou surrender comes, it can be cleared!
But the news kept coming, and many people came from Chenyang that Hong Chengchou had already died of hunger strike!
Huang Qi ran to Zhang Biwu and said, "Look! Now there are constant news that Hong Chengchou is loyal to the country! Now you are the one who has become the leader of thousands of men! Alas!"
Zhang Biwu didn't say anything, he was just wondering. He was thinking in his heart, has history really changed? Hong Chengchou did not surrender? He died? No! It shouldn't be! But why is this happening? Right! There is deviation, it must be like this! Just like he died later than Yang Sichang in history! Yes! It is very likely that this is!
At this time, Huang Qi said again: "If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Xianzhong had captured Shucheng on May 19, after Zhang Xianzhong captured Shucheng, he went from Lu'an to Luzhou. Zheng Luxiang, the governor of Luzhou, and Zhao Xingji, and Zheng Yuanshou and others were guarding each other. At that time, he taught the censor Xu Zhiyuan to Luzhou to test the scholars. Zhang Xianzhong sent people to pretend to be Confucian scholars and bring Confucian scholars to the middle of the night. The city was in chaos, and the city was broken, and Luzhou was destroyed. The court sent Cao Bianjiao to leave to Jiangnan. If Cao Bianjiao did not leave, I wonder what you should do! After all, Cao Bianjiao wished he could eat you alive!"
Zhang Biwu smiled. He knew that Chongzhen would not let him die, and Chongzhen would always help him!
At this moment, someone came to report that a letter from the north who claimed to be Zhang Biwu's Youshe arrived, and there was a very important letter. Youshe was the secret code of Zhang Biwu and Dorgon. As long as you say it, both of them could understand everything and accept it without any obstacles.
Zhang Biwu then opened the letter and saw Dorgon said that Huang Taiji strictly blocked the news of Hong Chengchou's surrender, just to make Zhang Biwu look ugly in public. Of course, it is also important to kill Zhang Biwu!
The most sad and heartbreaking thing in the letter was Fei Yangguo, because Zhang Biwu and Songshan rescued Cao Bianjiao and others. Huang Taiji himself knew that it was not all Fei Yangguo's fault, but he wanted to punish Fei Yangguo heavily. On the one hand, someone came to take responsibility, and on the other hand, he wanted to make Fei Yangguo hate Zhang Biwu even more, and fight with Zhang Biwu to death in the future without any brotherhood.
Zhang Biwu sighed one after another, knowing that he and Fei Yangguo really have a battle next!
Huang Qi saw him and asked, "What's wrong?" Zhang Biwu handed the letter to Huang Qi and asked Huang Qi to read the contents of the letter.
After Huang Qi read it, he was surprised. Unexpectedly, Dorgon would send a letter, so he said, "Well, can't we just make this letter public?" Then he thought he was wrong, and this would harm Dorgon! This is not OK! A stupid trick!
Although Huang Qi also wanted Dorgon to die sooner! Let them lose a strong enemy in the Ming Dynasty! But this always hurt Dorgon.
Zhang Biwu did not bother Huang Qi's fault and asked: "Can the spies we sent find out the exact news that Hong Chengchou had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty?"
Huang Qi replied: "Yes! There is no news that Hong Chengchou has surrendered at all. All news that Hong Chengchou is dead!"
Zhang Biwu said: "Didn't Ma Shaoyu secretly want to negotiate peace in Shengjing?" "What? Ma Shaoyu wants to negotiate peace?" Huang Qi couldn't believe that the Ming Dynasty really wanted to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty?
Zhang Biwu said: "Okay! Dorgon's letter has already explained to us where Hong Chengchou lives now, and he has surrendered! As long as our sentry detective secretly sends messages to Ma Shaoyu, let him know that Hong Chengchou is not dead and surrendered. Wu Sangui has tried his best but has not been able to find out. If Ma Shaoyu could find out clearly, Ma Shaoyu would have made great contributions in front of Chongzhen!"
Huang Qi's interface: "Of course, it also helped us! It helped us solve the big trouble!" Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Yes!"
So they followed this and insisted that the news that Hong Chengchou had surrendered could no longer be concealed.
Zhang Biwu was also preparing to wear a suit to Ningyuan and Wu Sangui to guard Ningyuan against further invasions of the Qing army. After all, Zhang Biwu was afraid that he would stay for a long time, so Chongzhen would ask him to lead his troops to untie the siege of Kaifeng. At that time, he would inevitably meet Li Zicheng, which would waste his strength.
To be honest, Wu Sangui's news was really well-versed. He knew it after Ma Shaoyu learned about Hong Chengchou's surrender. This was because he had a spy on Ma Shaoyu and immediately reported it to Wu Sangui. Of course, Zhang Biwu was not stupid either. He told Wu Sangui the news in advance, so that he could establish a strong friendship with Wu Sangui.
Shortly after Ma Shaoyu's memorial about Hong Chengchou's surrender reached Chongzhen's imperial table, Wu Sangui's investigation also arrived immediately.
At this time, Chongzhen was just about to worship Hong Chengchou himself. After hearing the news, he gave up in great anger.
Chongzhen was furious in the palace again, and he was very angry! When he wanted to kill Hong Chengchou's family, he suddenly thought that if Hong Chengchou's whole family was killed, Hong Chengchou would devote himself to serving the Qing Dynasty.
If Hong Chengchou's family was left behind, it would make Hong Chengchou feel ashamed. He was also afraid of being afraid to do his best to serve the Qing Dynasty to attack the Ming Dynasty. After all, Chongzhen also had deep kindness to Hong Chengchou. Although he betrayed and surrendered, Hong Chengchou could not forget this kind of kindness and could not be erased.
