The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 417 Hong Chengchou's Life as a Traitor

The entire capital is still immersed in the shock caused by the death of King Pingnan and the fall of Guangdong Province.

Another news came from Jiangnan, an even more unacceptable news!

First, the Zhoushan naval battle was defeated, the entire Yangtze River Navy was wiped out, the admiral Shi Lang, and the Manchurian general Duolong died in battle.

Then the Ming army entered the Yangtze River, smashing Chongming, Songjiang, Zhenjiang and other places, shaking the south of the Yangtze River!

Jiangning General Tulehun, Liangjiang Governor Lang Tingzuo and others led troops to meet the enemy and fought against the Ming army on the banks of the Yangtze River.

Lost, retreated into Qixia Mountain.

The Ming army set fire to the mountain, Qixia Mountain was engulfed by the fire, the Jiangning Eight Banners on the mountain, the Jiangnan Green Camp, and the entire army were wiped out.

The Ming army rolled up the Longjiang Bao Shipyard and withdrew from the Yangtze River!
After receiving this news, there was only one thought left in the entire capital... The sky is falling!

The sky of the Qing Dynasty in the south has collapsed!

It doesn't matter how many green battalion soldiers die, and it doesn't matter if the Yangtze River Navy is over.

But the complete annihilation of seven thousand Manchurian and Eight Banners was a pain to the Qing court.

It is even more painful than being wiped out by Li Dingguo in Zen State by two thousand Manchurian soldiers.

The moment the news came, the entire capital shook, and every household hung up white banners and covered themselves with sackcloth.

It is not an exaggeration to say that every family wears mourning and every family mourns!

……

South study!
Bumbutai sat behind a bead curtain and listened to the government. Obai and other four ministers of Gu Ming, as well as Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and other Han people were also there.

The courtiers knelt on the ground neatly, all of them were pale and bloodless.

Bumbutai didn't say a word behind the bead curtain, and they didn't dare to speak.

The earth dragon was burning in the south study room, it was very warm, and gradually everyone began to sweat on their foreheads.

I don't know if it's hot or tense.

Finally, Bumbutai, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, which broke the silence in the air.

"My lords, everyone must be aware of the war between Jiangnan and Guangdong!"

"King Pingnan was loyal to his country, but he died on the battlefield. Even his whole family was slaughtered by Ming thieves. It can be said to be a martyr."

"What kind of posthumous title should be given to King Pingnan? The court should have made a decision long ago."

"If you delay any longer, I'm afraid people's hearts will be scattered!"

Bumbutai was afraid that he would not be able to stand up, so he didn't directly mention the Jiangnan incident, but first mentioned the incident in Guangdong.

Aobai kowtowed, and then spoke.

"King Pingnan is loyal to the affairs of state and devoted himself to the Qing Dynasty, so he should give him a beautiful posthumous posthumous title."

"Wu Mu, Wu Zhong, Wu Jing... are all good!"

Bumbutai nodded behind the bead curtain, as if he had made a decision, he spoke.

"Although King Pingnan didn't have the credit of the previous Song Yuewu Mu's efforts to turn the sky, he also made great contributions to the court's pacification of the south and the capture of Guangdong. He even died on the battlefield in the end. The whole family is loyal to the court."

"Let's give him the posthumous title of Wu Mu to honor the court's favor!"

Everyone took orders, and a young eunuch trotted to draw up the imperial edict.

Sighing, Bumbutai changed his tone and said.

"Although King Pingnan is dead, the war in Guangdong must continue. It is determined not to allow the bandits of the Ming Dynasty to revive and seize our country and society in the Qing Dynasty."

"How to fight the war in Guangdong, all the ministers, please make up your mind for the Ai family!"

Obai continued.

"The old minister asks for orders to go out in command, and to put down the Ming Dynasty for the Qing Dynasty!"

Obai was known as the number one Batulu in Manchuria back then, and he used to fight under the tents of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji and others.

He is courageous and resourceful, and has repeatedly made military exploits!
Even when the Qing army marched west to Sichuan and Shu, it was Oboi, not Hauge, who was actually in charge of the army.

To put it bluntly, Obai was left to his son by Shunzhi to suppress the world.

If Kangxi hadn't killed Oboi in history, Wu Sangui might not have dared to raise the flag to rebel.

Seeing Oboi asking for a fight, Bumbutai shook his head and said.

"It's not time for you, Oboi, to fight!"

Shunzhi left Aoboi to them as an orphan and widowed mother to sit in the capital and ensure that the capital is safe.

Unless the traitor hits the capital, Oboi must not move lightly!

Sukesaha asked Oboi to fight but was rejected, so he proposed.

"Why don't you let Bachelor Hong take the lead and go to Guangdong for a trip!"

"King Pingxi, King Jingnan, and the generals of the Southern Kingdom, most of them have served under the tent of Grand Master Hong."

"If Grand Master Hong takes command of the southern expedition, he will be able to calmly dispatch the troops of the southern kingdom, gather troops and horses, and wipe out the Ming thieves in one fell swoop!"

The Hong University scholar Suke Saha said refers to Hong Chengchou.

The reason why he recommended Hong Chengchou was because he valued Hong Chengchou's influence among the Han officials in the world.

How big is this influence?
It is estimated that as soon as Hong Chengchou arrived in the south, Wu Sangui would not dare to think carefully, and even Geng Jingzhong's ambition would be restrained, and he would obey Hong Chengchou's tent obediently.

In Suksaha's view, the Han people still have to be attacked by the Han people!

He has a limited population in Manchuria, so he can't go to the battlefield to exchange lives with the Han people.

Although Hong Chengchou has resigned from office and retired to seclusion, due to his personal ability and partnering with Wu Sangui, he has contributed to the Qing court's achievements in most of the southern countries.

Every major event in the Qing court required his participation.

It's just that Hong Chengchou settled most of the southern countries for the Qing Dynasty, and once served as governor and governor in Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places.

The great traitors who have made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty did not end well in the end.

After working hard for most of his life, he was notorious as a traitor, but in the end he only got a third-class Hanihafan's official position, and he inherited it for four generations before he was gone.

Moreover, what is even more heart-wrenching is that Hong Chengchou, an old traitor, was compiled into the biography of the second official by Kang Mazi's great grandson Qianlong, and he was the one who started it.

It can be described as a stink for thousands of years!
He deserves to be a traitor, and he is also tasteless!
The pure big wronged species!

But now that the war situation in the South is tense, the first thing that comes to mind in the Qing court is Hong Chengchou.

A trace of shock flashed in Hong Chengchou's cloudy old eyes, but he still opened his mouth to evade.

"Empress Dowager, the old minister is old and frail, and is seriously ill. If the court asks the old minister to take command of the war, the old minister will not dare to shirk, but he is afraid that the old minister's health will not live up to expectations, and the important affairs of the court will be ruined!"

According to historical records, Hong Chengchou died of illness in the fourth year of Kangxi, almost next year!
Today's Hong Chengchou is old and frail, and he was born in Fujian and cannot adapt to the environment in the north, so his health is not very good.

If he recuperates with peace of mind, he may be able to grit his teeth and survive until his lifespan in history!

If he goes out in command, he will travel tens of thousands of miles north and south from the capital to Guangdong, and he will probably disappear halfway!

Hong Chengchou knew his physical condition well, so he would not take orders to go south at this time to find excitement for himself.

If he wins, that is the master of high meritorious deeds!
If he loses, he will be punished, and this little, third-class Hanihafan may not be able to keep it.

If so, then what is he fussing about?
Isn't he fragrant to rest in peace of mind? !
Seeing Hong Chengchou's evasion, Sukesaha felt displeased.

When did the master need the slave to work hard, and the slave dared to shirk?

But he remained calm, just quietly waiting for Bumbutai's reaction.

Bumbutai sat behind the bead curtain, and after a moment of silence, she continued to speak.

"The current situation in the imperial court is difficult, the southeast is making a pot of porridge, and the place is not very respectful. The court lacks ministers who can carry the world. Ai Jia and Xuan Ye, orphans and widows, are miserable!"

"Emperors of all dynasties have praised Hong Qing's family, and praised the loyalty and character of the Qing family in front of the Ai family."

"Now that the imperial court is employing people, Hong Qing's family must not give up their picks!"
