"Is the old slave's tomb there?" Zhao Ming asked.

A few years ago, Zhao Ming went north to Shandong and Liaodong, and had thought about breaking into Shenyang and digging Nurhaci's tomb.

But at that time, he was not strong enough to go deep into the inland, so he walked around the coast of Shandong and Liaodong, and then turned back to Zhoushan.

At this time, after hearing Tang Tong's words, Zhao Ming immediately picked up Qianlijing and watched it. He carefully looked at Shizui Mountain in the distance. Seeing the triceratops with the Manchu Red Flag on it, he knew that there were Manchu elite soldiers garrisoning on it.

Nurhaci's mausoleum was selected in the third year of Huang Taiji Tiancong. Construction was started at Shizuitou Mountain in the east of Chenyang City. By the eighth year of Shunzhi, it was basically completed. It was moved from Liaoyang to Xiaoci's coffin to be buried with Nurhaci, and Shizuitou Mountain was renamed Tianzhu Mountain and called the Eastern Qing Tomb.

The Qing court never expected that the Ming army would directly kill the tomb just over a year after the Dongling Mausoleum was built.

"It seems that the Tartars knew that they had done too much bad things, and they were afraid that I would dig Lao Nu's tomb." Zhao Ming smiled slightly and said, "By the way, Lao Nu's tomb is here, where is Huang Taiji's tomb?"

After hearing Zhao Ming's words, Tang Tong couldn't help but feel shocked. He didn't think much about it just now. Now, when Zhao Ming's tone was heard, I'm afraid that Marshal Zhao really planned to dig the tomb.

If this came to the ears of the Qing Dynasty, he was afraid that the Qing court would misunderstand, so he would pay attention to Zhao Ming and would definitely chase his relatives, which made him feel a little regretful for a while.

Now, the Qing Dynasty still doesn’t know the specific situation in Liaodong and the detailed works of the Tiandihui have brought their letters to transfer their families.

However, the Qing Dynasty had never trusted Han generals very much and arranged many secret spies to monitor their families.

Therefore, it is impossible to transfer all of them. At most, they can save the closest relatives, and most of the remaining relatives cannot escape.

If the city was surrounded and then surrendered to the Ming army, the Qing Dynasty might not have killed all their relatives. But if he heard that he offered advice to dig the tombs of Nurhaci and Huang Taiji, he would probably have been slaughtered by the Qing Dynasty.

When Tang Tong saw Zhao Ming looking at him, he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. Zhao Ming couldn't help but frown and said, "General Tang, why don't you answer? Are you not clear?"

Tang Tong complained in his heart and could only say: "Report to the Grand Marshal, Huang Taiji's tomb is north of Shenyang, and it is called Zhaoling. It was only built last year!"

Zhao Ming asked: "Are the tombs built on the mountain?"

"No, it's built on the flat ground!" Tang Tong said, and hurriedly said: "Master, the two capitals are still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty. If the Master dug the Eastern Tomb, the Qing Dynasty would probably be right~"

Zhao Ming waved his hand and interrupted him, "General Tang is too worried!"

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "The banner that the Qing Dynasty entered into the pass was to avenge Emperor Chongzhen! In order to win people's hearts, Doergou also sent people to worship the Ming Tomb to demonstrate the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty! This general dug out the old slave's tomb, Doergou must be furious, but he did not dare to touch the Ming Tomb!"

Zhao Ming thought, if the Qing Dynasty really dared to move, it might not be a bad thing.

At this time, Zhao Ming pondered for a while and immediately ordered: "General Tang, you have an old relationship with Hong Chengchou. I have something to do now. Are you willing?"

Tang Tong complained in his heart. Zhao Ming was afraid that he would accept the letter of fame and dig Nurhaci's tomb. He was not willing to do so, but he still politely said: "I will never refuse my humble position!"

Zhao Ming then said: "Go and tell Hong Chengchou that as long as he withdraws from Chenyang, I will guarantee that Nurhaci and Huang Taiji's tombs will not be moved! If he does not withdraw, I will dig two tombs first and then break Chenyang!"

Tang Tong was stunned when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ming wanted to threaten Hong Chengchou by some of the two tombs. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly saluted: "I'll do it now!"

At that moment, Tang Tong grabbed the horse's belly and went straight to the city.

Xie Qian frowned and asked, "Master General, will Hong Zhe agree to such a condition?"

Chenyang was the Shengjing of the Qing Dynasty, and Hong Chengchou could not have responded. As soon as the Ming army threatened, they gave up Chenyang to retreat.

This is because he cannot bear the responsibility of losing Chenyang. The second is that if he really gives up Chenyang, the coalition forces will not let him take his army back to the pass.

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "He will definitely not agree!"

"Since that's the case, why did the Grand Marshal ask Tang Tong to negotiate?" Xie Qian frowned.

Zhao Ming smiled and refused to answer. Gu Yanwu, a staff member on the side, said: "Teacher, look at Chenyang City, it may be difficult to break through in a short period of time. When winter is approaching, we don't have much time, so we can't directly attack the city! Nurhaci and Huang Taiji are Taizu and Taizong of the Qing Dynasty. They have a noble status and the Qing Dynasty will never tolerate them. We dig out their tombs. If Hong Chengchou agrees to the conditions, then we occupy Chenyang. If he refuses, then Hong Chengchou must send heavy troops to protect the tombs, and the battlefield will be transferred from Chenyang to two tombs."

Gu Yanwu's words probably meant by Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming took the condition that he did not dig the tomb. If Hong Chengchou refused, the tomb would be excavated, which would be Hong Chengchou's responsibility, so he had to defend the tomb.

In this way, Zhao Ming would not have to compete with him for the Shenyang City, and could transfer the battlefield to two mausoleums.

Xie Qian understood and couldn't help but exclaim: "The general is wise. In this case, I think the old thief Hong will be dead unless he surrenders!"

The generals of the coalition forces also praised him repeatedly, saying that the general was really sinister.

If Hong Chengchou agreed and he lost his way outside the pass, the Qing Dynasty would definitely kill him and ask for guilt.

If Hong Chengchou disagreed, the coalition forces would attack the two mausoleums.

By then, Hong Chengchou would not send troops to guard the two tombs, and the coalition forces would be captured. Nurhaci and Huang Taiji would be dug to the graves. The Manchu nobles would inevitably be furious, and Hong Chengchou would inevitably be killed to vent his anger.

If he sent troops to guard the tomb, he would give up the advantage of the city. In this way, the Manchu family members and the Baoyun slaves would lose the protection of the city walls and fight with the coalition forces. With their superior forces, the coalition forces would definitely be able to defeat the Qing army.

At that time, the coalition forces will not only dig the tombs, but also take advantage of the situation to capture Shenyang, and Hong Chengchou will also be unable to escape death.

In this way, Hong Chengchou had no choice but to surrender if he wanted to survive.

At the end of Chenyang City, Hong Chengchou was stepping up defenses. During the period when the Ming army went to attack Lushun, he quickly made a lot of equipment.

Among them, a large number of stone throwers were arranged behind the city walls. They emitted no ordinary stones, but fried bags.

Hong Chengchou smiled, "This thing was discovered by Zhao Zamao, and today's Japanese Domain let him taste the bitter fruit!"

At this time, Tang Tong had already rushed to the city and shouted loudly: "Please meet Hong Zhongtang!"

A soldier reported to Hong Chengchou. Soon after, he came to the city tower, looked down at the city, and saw Tang Tong in front of the gate of Zhuma City.

Hong Chengchou exclaimed, "Tang Tong, are you betraying the Qing Dynasty and the native temple again?"
