At this time, Hong Chengchou's mood was extremely complicated.

Although he had already shown that he belonged to Lantian, the pride of the scholar-officials made him unwilling to do so in his heart.

For scholars like him, attending the Ming Dynasty was the initial choice. If they deviated from their original choice, they would become a traitor who everyone scolded!

If he and Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were framed by the emperor and even ministers everywhere, it would be fine if he defected to Yun Zhao, a giant bandit.

However, since he was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty did not owe him the most literary and military strategy at that time. The three-sided governor, the governor of Ji and Liao, ruled half of the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not important to say that he was given the importance of this.

He repeatedly rejected the emperor's decree and insisted on his own opinion. The forced Emperor Ming Dynasty cried in the harem, but his position was as stable as Mount Tai, which was lenient.

These things happened clearly, and every time they happened, it aggravated Hong Chengchou's guilt.

What kind of person is Yun Zhao? No one understands the ambitions better than Hong Chengchou, a person who has known Yun Zhao for many years.

From the very beginning, he never thought of becoming a loyal minister and filial son of the Ming Dynasty. From the very beginning, he saw that the Ming Dynasty would inevitably collapse...

When he was in Xi'an, Hong Chengchou hoped that Yun Zhao could become a pillar supporting the Ming Dynasty with him, but the Ming Dynasty did not give Yun Zhao any chance from beginning to end.

When Yun Zhao was still weak, the Ming Dynasty court only knew to exploit people from this thief family without any kindness. Hong Chengchou even thought that if the emperor could use Yun Zhao unconventionally at that time, Yun Zhao might not have embarked on the road of rebellion.

Even when Yun Zhao was in full bloom, if the emperor could decisively marry Zhu Ma to Yun Zhao, Yun Zhao might still become a powerful arm helper for the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, at this time, all the civil and military officials and even the emperors of the court had already begun to guard against Yun Zhao. The Lantian County Magistrate, who had outstanding achievements, had been in office for ten years... It was simply a strange story in the world.

By the time Yun Zhao was in great strength, no one in the world could make this proud wild boar bow his head.

At this time, sending the princess over will be nothing but aggravated the humiliation of the dynasty.

Others don’t know, how could Hong Chengchou not understand that the reason why Yun Zhao has been entrenched in Guanzhong over the years is to restore the last bit of kindness imposed on him by the Ming Dynasty.

Now, the kindness is over.

Even if Yun Zhao still had some affection for the Ming Dynasty, his subordinates would not tolerate Yun Zhao continuing to let go of the great country and still entrenched in Guanzhong, which was forced by the general trend.

Hong Chengchou finished his last bite of rice in pain, looked up and said to Chen Dong: "If I don't die in this battle, I will be named Qinglong and return to Lantian to take up his post."

Chen Dong finally waited for this sentence and said with a smile: "Superior General, the Lei Heng army has arrived in Changsha. Once Zhang Bingzhong's troops conquer Jiangxi, the Lantian army will enter the hometown of the Supervisor General, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty will be cut off by our Lantian army.

The southwest land must also rely on the power of the commander.”

Hong Chengchou sighed helplessly: "It's so fast..."

Chen Dong smiled and said, "This is the result of the county magistrate ordered General Lei Heng not to make a rash move."

Hong Chengchou looked at Chen Dong and said, "The county master said in the past that if the emperor does not die, he will not leave the prison."

Chen Dongdao: "Now, we still keep this promise. The land under Lantian is taken from the hands of the bandits, and it is just in charge of the jurisdiction. As long as the court can send people and soldiers and horses over, we can hand over immediately."

Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly and said, "Is it possible?"

Chen Dongdao: "The county magistrate has always spoken like a mountain, but there is no one in the court who dares to come to the court's hometown to serve."

Hong Chengchou hit the table with a punch, causing the cups, plates, bowls and cups to jump up one after another. After a burst of noise, Hong Chengchou gritted his teeth and said, "There are too many disasters in the Ming Dynasty and too many accidents. There are very few people who dare to speak and fight."

Chen Dong continued: "As far as my secret spy department knows, Fan Wencheng has become a guest of Datong General Wang Pu."

"What?" Hong Chengchou was shocked, stood up quickly, and came outside the door, only to find that it was already raining heavily outside the door.

Thunders exploded above Hong Chengchou's head, and the torrential rain immediately poured Hong Chengchou's heart out of his heart.

It was pitch dark on rainy nights. Under such heavy rain, there must be floods in the mountain stream. It is impossible to send troops to take over Wang Pu's defense at this time.

"Why didn't you tell me early?"

Hong Chengchou stood in the heavy rain and roared at Chen Dong.

"Are you satisfied to see these good men of the Ming Dynasty buried in Songshan?"

Chen Dong shook his head and said, "After I received the news that Wang Pu might have changed again, I came to inform you as soon as possible."

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "If you have any bad news, tell me together."

Chen Dongdao: "The reinforcements prepared for the general cannot come, and His Majesty the Emperor has rejected the peace talks of the people of Jianzhou, and before the twelve days, the envoy of Jianzhou will be skinned and solidified."

Hong Chengchou laughed and walked back from the heavy rain. After walking down the eaves twice like a irritable lion, he said to Hong Fu: "Fate, Songshan Deputy General Xia Chengde will come to see me immediately."

When Chen Dong saw Hong Chengchou sitting on the chair wet, he didn't see any frustration or worry, but instead opened his eyes wide and majestic.

After a while, Chen Dong heard the sound of armor colliding, and under the guidance of Hong Fu, he left Hong Chengchou's festival hall.

After arriving at the back hall, Hong Fu's face was filled with worry and he smiled and said to Chen Dong: "Is my son good?"

Chen Dong smiled and said, "It is naturally great for Mr. Hong, but it may not be a good thing for Mr. Hong."

Hong Fu smiled and said, "Why is this?"

Chen Dong laughed and said, "Student Hong Shiming is now gnawing sand in the lower courtyard of Yushan Academy in Ningxia Town."

When Hong Fu heard this, he smiled happier and pointed to the front hall and said, "The old man in my family suffered no less than the young man. He always said that only those who endure hardships will be the best. This is clearly shown to my master."

Chen Dongdao: "Old butler, take good care of Mr. Hong, and you must not lose money in this war that is meaningless."

Hong Fu nodded repeatedly and said, "I know, I know, the master is planning to win the last face for the Ming Dynasty. However, Mr. Chen, don't worry, there are still less than 50,000 infantry and cavalry in Songshan City. Even if there is a change, my master will definitely be safe and sound."

Chen Dong nodded with a smile and said, "In this way, I will feel relieved, and my county magistrate will feel relieved."

Hong Fu invited Chen Dong to sit down and continued to ask: "I just heard from the young master that the Lantian army had arrived at the city of Changsha?"

Chen Dong nodded and said, "I have stopped my county magistrate, otherwise, Changsha City will go down in one go."

"This is nature, this is nature. I also heard that Fujian Chaozhou is already under Lantian?"

Chen Dong smiled and said, "In less than three months, Mr. Hong's hometown of Quanzhou will also be under Lantian."

"Oh, oh, this is really great. I also heard that people who own thousands of acres of land must not appear under Lantian?"

Chen Dong glanced at Hong Fu and said, "The excess land of the county Zun family has been forcibly split, so there shouldn't be a home with more than 1,000 acres of land in the world."

"But, over the years, Hong Fu has been stupid. After getting some money, he bought two thousand acres of fertile land in Quanzhou for my master. What should I do?"

Chen Dong smiled and said, "The old butler must have been calculating for a long time, why bother with me, the younger generation, haha?"

Hong Fu laughed and said, "Since it is Lantian's national policy, the Hong family is naturally not easy to disobey. To be honest, the land I bought for the master back then was still very good. As long as it was sold, many people would definitely buy it."

Chen Dong laughed and said, "It seems that the old butler is going to prepare for the future?"

"This is naturally. My master is obsessed with military and national affairs. These small things naturally have to be managed by an old slave like me. I can't let my master work hard for a lifetime and return home but his family is barely left behind, right?

I heard that Lantian is preparing to promote marine business?”

Chen Dong looked at Hong Fu and thought for a while, "This is inevitable, and the battle between Lantian and the foreigners on the sea has begun."

"Can Hong buy a boat and go into the sea?"

"Of course this can."

In just one cup of tea, Hong Fu got all the news he wanted, and Chen Dong also understood from Hong Fu's words that Hong Chengchou would eventually choose Lantian and did not suffer any loss.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was not as leisurely as the two of them.

The Ming army is now divided into three groups, including Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, and Yang Guozhu stationed at the forefront Songshan and Dorgon, fighting head-on. Cao Bianjiao, the general general of the town, led his troops to guard Xingshan, and Hong Chengchou's descendants, and Wang Tingchen, the governor of Liaodong, led the Liaodong border troops to guard Tashan as a supporter.

Even so, in order to ensure the supply of grain and grass, Hong Chengchou specially set up a grain and grass camp on the pen holder between Ningyuan and Tashan. The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is defended by Wang Pu, the general general of the town.

Even though Songshan Fort, Xingshan Fort and Tashan Fort were besieged by Jianzhou troops, Hong Chengchou was not worried. With the support of powerful firearms, the Jianzhou people needed to completely capture these three forts with massive corpses.

Even if Huang Taiji can capture these three fortresses, Jiannu's strength will be greatly lost. Not to mention the intention of invading, it will be difficult for him to protect himself at that time.

Those who were as powerful as Dorgon were unable to make progress under Songshan Fort, and his brother Huang Taiji revoked his military power.

Everything was as beautiful as Hong Chengchou expected. As long as these three fortresses were still there, Jiannu would continue to bleed.

Now, there may be something wrong with Wang Pu...

Hong Chengchou knew that Yun Zhao would never give up and use such military and national affairs as a bargaining chip to make him bargain. If this is true, Hong Chengchou would meet Yun Zhao with swords and guns instead of surrendering to him.

I sat down until dawn, and the sky was still gray and the rain did not weaken at all. There was no news about the deputy general of Songshan, Xia Chengde, who was sent last night.

It was not until noon that the rain stopped in the sky.
