Chapter 185 Hong Chengchou: One day with a sword in hand, he will kill all the trolls in the world
It was already March [-]th when Chongzhen set the rewards and punishments for the Battle of Songjin.

Shen Shuren himself did not directly make meritorious service and was promoted, so there would be no decree directly issued to him.

As for Li Zicheng's troubles again at the moment when the [-] troops in Liaodong were wiped out, Shen Shuren was needed to cooperate with the encirclement and suppression. The relevant orders and wishes would only be conveyed euphemistically through Yang Sichang, and the time would be delayed.

This is also the dignity of the court - because Chongzhen did not directly promote Shen Shuren, but made a secret wish first. This kind of thing that cannot be fulfilled immediately and negotiated conditions is obviously not suitable to follow the will, otherwise the court's face will be lost.

As for the release of Sun Chuanting from prison to Shanxi to replace Wang Qiaonian who had just died, the matter should not be rushed either. Chongzhen always had to think and hesitate for ten and a half months.Who made Chongzhen care about face, and he has a psychological burden to pull down his face and re-enable the criminal minister.

In contrast, the land of Liaodong, because it is closer to Beijing, received a series of conclusions about the merits and demerits of the Beijing court on the Songjin War earlier, which actually produced some follow-up butterfly effects. The trend of the situation has had a profound impact.

……

On March 28, [-] days after Chongzhen made a final conclusion on the Songjin War.

Shen Shuren in Wuchang hadn't received the news yet, but in Shengjing in Liaodong, the Manchu Qing court got the news first.

Inside the Chongzheng Hall, a grey-haired, listless old man in his fifth decade had just finished handling some government affairs and was going to take a rest.Crouching in the throne, a young concubine is feeding ginseng soup to keep in good health.

This old man is the puppet Qing emperor Huang Taiji, and the young woman next to him is naturally Bumbutai, who is twenty-eight years old (28, not sixteen)

In many romances, Huang Taiji seems to be energetic and healthy in his later years, and there are even some perverted unofficial stories that he was assassinated to death by Dorgon in a healthy state.

But in fact, during the Songjin battle, Huang Taiji had already tried to help his illness, and when he came back, he was saddened by the death of his concubine Hai Lanzhu, and his condition became more and more serious.

Bumbutai's status was raised very high in later Qing Dynasty historical materials, and it was only because her descendants became emperors. But before Huang Taiji's death, Bumbutai was not the most favored concubine. Elder sister Hai Lanzhu is more favored than her.

Of course, after Hai Lanzhu's death, Huang Taiji was also old and careless about men and women. Coupled with the empathy effect brought about by Hai Lanzhu's death, it is normal to favor his sister more.

It is said that Bumbutai was Huang Taiji's favorite in the last two years of his life, and with such a qualifier, it should be quite close.

At this moment, Bumbutai had just finished serving him to drink ginseng soup, and Huang Taiji was also dripping with ginseng soup, looking similar to Sima Yi who pretended to be sick in front of Li Sheng.

Suddenly, a servant outside the Chongzheng Palace came in with a face full of joy, holding a piece of information spied from the Daming capital in his hand: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is very happy!"

"Mr. Fan, why do you like it?" Huang Taiji's cloudy old eyes regained their vigor, and also regained a few gleams of light, staring at the visitor.

The visitor was in his 40s, and he was Fan Wencheng, a bachelor of the Academy of Internal Secretaries, the oldest civil servant traitor in the Qing Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng kowtowed and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the secret work of the servants, I found out in Beijing that the Chongzhen idiots have been deceived by Chen Xinjia and others, thinking that Hong Chengchou is dead, and they set up a sacrifice for Hong Chengchou to show their ignorance.

Secretly asked the Ministry of War to file a record, spread the story of Hong Chengchou to all sides, and let the generals take it as a warning.The slave also probed into the self-defense documents of Sima Shaoyu and Zhang Ruoqi, the two officials of the Ministry of War in the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, he viciously criticized Hong Chengchou and blamed all the blame for his defeat on the reasons of his ineffective command and inability to control his subordinates.Even the civil officials who heard the explanations record the real records of Chongzhen would follow this tune to record the causal lessons of the Battle of Songjin. "

Huang Taiji was listless at first, and didn't think it was a big deal.

However, when Fan Wencheng said the last two sentences, Huang Taiji, who was sickly, suddenly felt relieved, and his eyes shot out like a flash of light:
"Huh? Chongzhen can also agree to this kind of thing? Hahaha, Chongzhen children can't tell good from bad, they can be said to be blind! If Hong Chengchou is incompetent, then another southern barbarian supervisor will come to fight me!
Could it be that Yang Sichang would win the battle?Or release Sun Chuanting from prison?Or ask God to bring Lu Xiangsheng back from the dead?Anyone who comes here will lose!If a supervisor is weaker than the above three, he will only die faster than Hong Chengchou when he comes!
How many generals are there in the Southern Dynasty today?Well, the one who played the game a while ago and rescued Cao Bianjiao and Li Fuming from Azig and Jierharang is considered a talent.I heard that the generals in command are Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong?These two are just pawns, but it's nothing.

The Shen Shuren behind them, given time, might threaten my Qing Dynasty. They have to find a way to make the Chongzhen child destroy the Great Wall by himself, and send him to Liaodong to die first while the Shen Shuren is still fledgling!Forget it, let’s not talk about these things. "

Fan Wencheng also didn't care about his master's praise of Shen Shuren and his self-criticism for the defeat of Tashan Xingshan more than 20 days ago.

But when Huang Taiji stopped the topic and brought it back to Hong Chengchou, he added with a grim smile: "Chongzhen has not agreed to write Hong Chengchou's misdeeds and lessons into the record.

However, the slave thinks that since our army has obtained some evidence through careful investigation, we can add more details and send it to Hong Chengchou... Hasn't Your Majesty already persuaded Hong Chengchou to surrender twice?Let the servant go again, as long as this is the case..."

Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that this was a godsend opportunity.

He had persuaded Hong Chengchou twice, and the last time was Fan Wencheng, about seven or eight days ago.

At that time, Fan Wencheng reported that Hong Chengchou seemed to intend to go on a hunger strike. Although it was not complete, he ate very little every day and even drank only water. It seemed that he planned to slowly break down his body and die.

But Fan Wencheng also said that he felt that Hong Chengchou did not seem to be fully prepared to die—because when he saw Hong Chengchou, he observed swallows flying over the beam, dropping dust, mud and bird droppings, and Hong Chengchou quickly shook off his robe. up.

This shows that Hong Chengchou has concerns, at least he is unwilling to associate with filth.Even if this kind of entanglement is just like Zilu's "before death", it is a weakness after all.

After hearing Fan Wencheng's latest conspiracy, Huang Taiji quickly said: "This time I will go in person, Mr. Fan, you can go with me."

……

After a while, the two monarchs and ministers, together with Bumbutai, came to the place where Hong Chengchou was being held.

Hong Chengchou looked tired, and the hunger strike for several days and only drinking water seemed to be effective.

When Huang Taiji saw him, he said kindly: "Mr. Hong is a man who cherishes his name. There is nothing to fear in death, but before he dies, he must look like Zilu Zhengguan, so that he can be worthy of a gentleman."

Hong Chengchou's lips moved a little, but he didn't say anything. He didn't expect Huang Taiji to see through his mind.

He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of dying with humiliation.If he could justify his name and die, he would have died long ago.

Huang Taiji knew something was going on when he saw it, and his eyes made Bumbutai pass another bowl of ginseng soup: "I am also sick recently, and I rely on ginseng soup to refresh myself every day. If I had been so seriously ill half a year ago, It is still unknown who will win the pine brocade battle, but it is a pity for Mr. Hong, the effort fell short."

Hong Chengchou said this time: "What's the point of saying this?"

Huang Taiji smiled and said nothing, but Fan Wencheng next to him said, "Of course it makes sense, sir, don't you want to die on a hunger strike in order to die in a decent and innocent way.

Drinking this ginseng soup will not prevent you from starving to death, but it can refresh you. Maybe you will starve to death faster under excitement, but you will die in a decent state of mind. "

Hong Chengchou smiled disdainfully, took the ginseng soup handed over by Bumbutai, and drank it directly—but the seductive plot of Bumbutai in the barnyard official history did not happen.

For a person of Hong Chengchou's level who has seen the big world, whether he surrenders or not is not influenced by women.The theory of seduction is just for the convenience of ignorant people to understand.

After drinking, Fan Wencheng began to instigate, and handed several copies of memorials and self-defense to Hong Chengchou: "Mr. Hong, let's see, if you die now, you will bear the name of incompetence.

Chen Xinjia's subordinates, Ma Shaoyu and Zhang Ruoqi, wished for the death of their husband, so that their original crimes of talking about war on paper and urging war could be blamed on him.

At that time, Ma Shaoyu and Zhang Ruoqi will be able to avoid Guo Kaizhi's infamy, but you, sir, will become Zhao Kuo!From then on, after a hundred generations, the infamy of glue pillars, playing harps, and talking on paper, etc., must be exemplified by Mr.

Zhao Kuo knows the truth and will be grateful to Mr., after 800 years, finally someone can help him take over the incompetence stigma! "

When Fan Wencheng mentioned this point, Hong Chengchou finally couldn't sit still, he jumped up, his eyes were about to split, and he wanted to pounce on him and strangle him to death: "Despicable thief! How dare you set up such a vicious scheme to slander Hong's name behind him!"

It's a pity that he had been on a hunger strike for a few days, so he didn't have the strength to provoke him. Huang Taiji dared to come to see him, of course he brought his guards, so he was quickly controlled.

At this time, it was Huang Taiji's turn to act as a good guy: "Why do you not let go of Mr. Hong! Mr. Fan and I, are we still afraid of a person who is about to die on hunger strike?"

After the guards let go, Huang Taiji continued to say leisurely: "Sir, I misunderstood, and I don't want to set up a trap to harm you. Is it good for me to put so much effort into this kind of thing?
You have been in the Southern Dynasties for a long time, and you are the most clear about how the officials and civil officials of the Ming Dynasty fought and attacked each other.I just want to do this kind of game, and I don't have this dirty ability! "

After Hong Chengchou calmed down, his head also drooped.

Indeed, paper officials played with their names and often fought among themselves, and the people of the Qing Dynasty could not compare to those treacherous villains of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at his expression, Huang Taiji knew that the other party had completely believed in the dirty water work, and it was the two bastards Ma Shaoyu and Zhang Ruoqi who did it from the bottom of their hearts.

Only then did Huang Taiji set the tone in a deafening manner: "Sir! Let me surrender to the Qing Dynasty! Only by living can we wash away the name of incompetence. Although it will be accused of disloyalty, there is a reason for it.

As long as the Qing Dynasty takes control of the Central Plains in the future, I can lightly pay taxes, implement benevolent governance, and learn from the lessons of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.Abolish the bad government, there are tens of thousands of years of history, who will say you are wrong? "

The corner of Hong Chengchou's mouth twitched, but there was still no response.However, Huang Taiji had already seen the fire clearly, and added the last firewood:

"I can also promise one thing to my husband - I have seen the defeat of the Song and Ming Dynasties, a very important reason, in addition to not practicing martial arts and guarding against military officials, is not to kill scholar-bureaucrats, not to use words as sinners, leading to rampant speech officials, everything Dare to say.

As for a pragmatic person, it is good not to do something, and the more he does, the more wrong he is. The person who only says not to do it will never be charged with crimes.In the end, people are overstaffed, there are too many people talking, and few people doing practical things. How can such a country be undefeated! "

Hong Chengchou was shocked, he didn't expect that this dog tartar and false emperor could talk about the principles of governing the country, and it sounded like it really hit the time.

Huang Taiji became more and more excited as he spoke. With a wave of his hand, he pretended to be a murderer, and said decisively: "If the Qing Dynasty wins the world, I will never have the pedantic burden of the Song and Ming Dynasties! It is all bullshit if I don't kill scholars and bureaucrats, and I don't blame criminals." !
At that time, I will kill all those empty talkers who don't know how to do practical things and want to point fingers at others when they do things!If Mr. Hong is willing to help, when the time comes, there will be grievances and grievances, revenge, and the world's speech officials, cursing, wouldn't it be a pleasure!After all these people are killed, who will accuse Mr. of disloyalty!

If the husband doesn't surrender today, we don't need to do anything, as long as we let Ma Shaoyu and Zhang Ruoqi do what he does, let nature take its course and add fuel to the flames, we can make the husband infamy for future generations!The master has surrendered, but he can kill anyone who wants to scold him!Do you even need to think about it? "

Hong Chengchou's inner psychological defense was completely defeated, because he knew that what Huang Taiji said was really not bragging.Looking at what the Manchus had done for decades, they really did this kind of thing.

Among other things, if anyone looks at it from the perspective of a traveler, the literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty is not much more powerful than the Song and Ming Dynasties?

To say that someone killed someone, or even killed his whole family, because he was talking like a troll and a keyboard warrior.

But now Hong Chengchou hates those gesticulating keyboard warriors at the rear. If he were a time traveler, he would have wanted to shout the phrase "You can do it! If you can't, don't beep!"

In order to one day have a sword in his hand and kill all the trolls in the world, he doesn't care about the righteousness of the nation, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

However, history also has a slight bifurcation here.

Perhaps it was because of Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng's rhetoric to persuade them to surrender, and because the butterfly effect changed slightly and became more provocative, so Hong Chengchou talked about a condition before surrendering:
"Your Majesty, if I surrender and invade Beijing one day, can I not allow Ma Shaoyu, Zhang Ruoqi and other officials to surrender? Based on my understanding of these tongue-in-cheeks, one day, they must be the first to surrender! Your Majesty If you can promise not to allow this thief to surrender, and let the minister wipe out his entire clan at that time, then the minister is willing to surrender!"

Huang Taiji was overjoyed: "What's so difficult about this! If someone comes to surrender, I regret killing him, which is naturally wrong. But I can announce in advance that I will not pardon some people and will not accept surrender. When the time comes, I will hand it over to Mr. !"

Historically, trolls like Ma Shaoyu and Zhang Ruoqi, after becoming house slaves of the three surnames, at least served as chief envoys in the Qing Dynasty.

It's a pity that because Hong Chengchou raised the conditions in advance, in the future they may only be slaves of the two surnames, and they will hang out with Li Zicheng to death, which is a small butterfly effect.

After listening to Huang Taiji's promise, Hong Chengchou finally knelt down and said, "The guilty minister thanked His Majesty for his grace."

Huang Taiji was overjoyed, and took the opportunity to say: "When I enter Beijing in the future, not only will these two people not be allowed to surrender, but I can even release a message in advance to not allow all the officials of the Southern Dynasty to surrender!
You think, even if Beijing is captured, the centipedes of the Ming Dynasty will definitely flee to Nanjing and continue to resist.Only if the officials are not allowed to surrender, the officials will be forced to go to Nanjing.Instead of staying in Beijing to eat idle food, these wastes who only talk but don't do it, why not force them to Nanjing to continue to harm the disabled! "

Huang Taiji's words made Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou dumbfounded.

If Shen Shuren was here, he would definitely be surprised that Huang Taiji could understand the truth of "kill the Virgin first in troubled times and protect the enemy Virgin".

A speech official who stands on the moral high ground and criticizes others but can't do anything is equivalent to "Our Lady of Troubled Times".It is simply too cost-effective to force the enemy.
