The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 747 Hong Chengchou Captured

Huang Sheng heard that Liang Tingdong and Wu Xiang asked for a meeting, and directly arranged for them to meet in the inner study.

When the two met Huang Sheng, they expressed their opinions. They believed that Ming Dynasty was troubled internally and externally. The "Southern Ming" sent troops this time. ?
What Huang Sheng has in mind is the empire on which the sun never sets, so how can he get entangled in the corners and corners.At this time, it is possible to take advantage of the danger of others to take over Guangdong and Guangxi in the name of lease, but what impression will it leave in the hearts of the Han people?
Huang Shengdao: "This king agrees to send troops without preconditions. Of course, he treats people with sincerity. When the news spreads, what will the people of Ming Dynasty think of it? If this king takes advantage of people's danger to covet Daming's trusted land, how will the people of the world comment?"

It turned out that Nanwang didn't want to ruin his reputation, and the scheming Liang Tingdong thought so. He had to put aside his idea of ​​proposing Nanwang to be emperor for a while.

Wu Xiang, who is good at doing business, doesn't think so. He thinks that "Nanming" is so powerful that there is no need to look forward and backward, and it should never take half a step if it can go further.

Liang Tingdong said: "His Royal Highness is very considerate, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, the king of faith and righteousness, is naturally supported by the people of the world, goodness!"

Wu Xiang said: "Your Highness, don't miss this good opportunity. Once Jian Nu is eliminated, Ming will be less troubled by the Liaodong border. Given time, the national power will surely recover. At that time, it will be impossible to abandon Xindi. Your Highness will have to spend a lot of trouble to replace it."

Huang Shengdao: "It doesn't matter, it is my king's wish that the people of Ming Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment. It is not impossible for 'Nanming' to live in harmony with Daming from now on. 'Nanming' needs to expand the land and still be able to attack overseas."

Liang Tingdong said: "Your Highness is a heroic master of our generation with a kind heart. It's a great honor for the old minister to be the master."

Wu Xiang said anxiously: "Your Highness, you need to think twice. How can you allow others to snore and sleep beside the couch? How can two big countries live in harmony? Besides, there is no reason for a strong country to be a minister and a weak country to be a king? Even a mere 10 people live in Liaodong. Jiannu dares to face the south and proclaim himself emperor, doesn't His Highness want to go one step further?"

"Wu Aiqing don't have to think too much, there will always be what should come, as long as the 'Nanming' country is rich and strong, with a strong army of millions, who is the opponent in the world."

Liang Tingdong said: "Of course, the veteran has gone through three dynasties, and has never seen such a weather as that of 'Nanming'. In 'Nanming', there is His Highness who will only be strong and strong. The Ming Dynasty will never return. Sooner or later, officials, gentry and common people will go to His Highness."

Seeing that Huang Sheng refused to take the opportunity to blackmail Daming, Wu Xiang gave up, and changed the subject: "Since Your Highness is willing to live in harmony with Daming, then of course we are happy to see such a thing as a marriage that benefits the country and the people. I dare to protect the media and invite Your Highness." Agree to marry Daming Princess Kunxing."

Now Huang Sheng blushed, the princess was only a junior high school student, and she was over 30 years old in Daming alone, two or three years older than her father-in-law Chongzhen, and she smelled like an old cow eating tender grass.

Liang Tingdong continued: "Your Highness, the old minister's mission to 'Nanming' this time is to form a good relationship. As long as His Highness gives you permission, the old minister will handle this matter properly."

"This, it's not very good, after all, this king is older than her father." Huang Sheng was still thinking about modern people, and he hesitated.

Wu Xiang smiled, and said: "Your Highness is strong and strong, only in her early thirties, which girl in her prime doesn't like to marry, it is said that Princess Kunxing was very happy when she heard the news that she is about to marry Nan Wang."

Liang Tingdong also persuaded: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. There are still people who are over sixty years old marrying 13-year-old girls. Your Highness is the king of a country, so there will be no complaints."

Huang Sheng was embarrassed to discuss this matter with Chu Er, so he simply ignored it and said, "Well, the queen is in charge of the king's family affairs."

The two men understood at once, and said with a smile: "In this way, I will not disturb Your Majesty, and I will leave."

The two asked to see Chu'er the next day, but of course there was no surprise. Chu'er came forward to arrange for Ruan Dan to go to Daming to propose marriage.

Huang Sheng was very uncomfortable with the welfare of the feudal emperor. Every time he saw his wife, he felt indebted to her. Unexpectedly, Chu'er had no adverse reactions at all, and was more gentle and considerate.

In the end, Huang Sheng learned that Chu'er had only one concern. The princess of the Ming Dynasty should marry the King of the South. It stands to reason that she should become a queen to be justified. She can give up anything, but the status of queen cannot be let go.

Huang Sheng made out his wife's thoughts by making indirect remarks, and vowed on the spot that his beloved wife, Chu Er, is a queen today and will become a queen tomorrow. Even if there are tens of millions of beauties, the husband only favors the queen.

Knowing that men like to lie to women, but women just like to hear men tell lies, Chu'er was really elated again.

There is no need for Huang Sheng to worry about adding a princess, the queen will handle the family affairs properly.

What Huang Sheng has to do is to send troops to Liaodong, and to completely occupy there and completely wipe out Jiannu.

In February of the 15th year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou, who was trapped in the isolated city, heard that there was a fire in the camp of the Qing army outside the city.

Although it is difficult to judge the authenticity, Hong Chengchou still prefers to believe it. He immediately organized troops to go out of the city to attack at night.

After being trapped in the small town of Songshan for several months, Hong Chengchou had had enough, thinking of fighting the Qing army to the death, and dying on the battlefield would be regarded as his relief.

This was of course a tactic of the Qing army to lure the enemy, but the result was very bad. The Qing army who was waiting for work lightly left more than half of the Ming army who left the city. The Hong army retreated to Songshan City surrounded by the main general Hong Chengchou after a deadly battle.

Songshan has been under siege for half a year. The food in the city is exhausted and the morale of the army is floating. Songshan Deputy General Xia Chengde is not willing to be cannon fodder for Ming Dynasty.

This kid was so determined to surrender that he was willing to take his son Xia Shu as a hostage in exchange for Hong Guishi's trust.

In March, the Qing army and Xia Chengde agreed on a time to cooperate with outsiders. The two sides fought in a melee overnight and Songshan City fell, and Hong Chengchou, Qiu Minyang and others were captured.

Next, the two cities of Tashan and Xingshan, which were stationed by the Ming army, also fell into the hands of the Qing army one after another. The Jinning defense line of the Ming army, only Ningyuan and Jinzhou were left facing each other, and all the satellite cities fell.

The war came to an end, Hong Chengchou was captured without a fight, and Hong Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the casualties were greater than expected and the results were less than expected, it was not a waste of effort to wipe out more than half of the Ming's powerful army.

When Hong Chengchou was first captured, he also wanted to die generously. He went on a hunger strike for several days and refused to surrender.

Hong Xie sent all the people he could use to persuade him to surrender, but they were all scolded and returned. Ba Xiao still did not give up. He was not admiring Hong Chengchou's talent, but was asking for money. After all, those who surrendered in the past were insignificant in the Ming Dynasty .

Those who were able to persuade the big Ming border officials like Hong Chengchou to surrender, there will be an endless stream of people who will join them in the future.

Hong Jie is Teming's most trusted number one traitor, official minister Fan Wencheng once again persuaded him to surrender, and asked Fan Wencheng to judge whether Hong Chengchou really had the determination to rather die than surrender.
