Hong Shiqin was very cooperative and had only one purpose, which was to save the 30,000 men outside the city from being slaughtered. He and several important generals under his command were captured by the Ming army. The soldiers outside the city were leaderless, which was impossible. After defeating the Ming army, and Emperor Hongguang had already prepared a trap, I believe the final outcome would be the complete annihilation of the entire army.
Another point is that the assembled Qing army is basically the green camp soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army. Everyone is Han. In this case, it is better to be single. Therefore, Huang Degong on Yuquan Mountain outside the city also There was nothing to accomplish, and the entire surrender order was very smooth.
Posted that I solemnly re-received Hong Shiqin and others at Dangyang Mansion Office. The news from outside the city made me very happy. It would be best not to fight this war. To paraphrase a movie line, the Chinese should not fight the Chinese, the Han and the Tatars should Discrimination.
Posted me to look at Hong Shiqin and others, "I have a few words to say in front of all you dear friends and in front of Shiqin. As the saying goes, people pay close attention to the festival, and the fields watch the harvest. No matter what mistakes a person makes, as long as he can It is not easy to make corrections in time. Shiqin, I think about how much praise and admiration your father received in his early years, but what about now? He is no longer safe and is despised by his countrymen. I hope you can correct your mistakes when you realize them. What's more! What's more, you all have some shortcomings. It's okay to make mistakes, but you can't be unrepentant and stick to them. Shiqin's submission has made a contribution and saved the army from the pain of war. I now appoint you as the envoy to Huguang and go to Xiangtan tomorrow. Once you take office, your name will also be deleted from the "Records of Traitors", I wonder what Shiqin thinks?"
It was announced that Hong Shiqin was not afraid of death, but he was not allowed to die in this situation. Hong Shiqin knew that Emperor Hongguang did this. His surrender was indeed meritorious, but Emperor Hongguang mainly used him to deal with his father Hong Chengchou. To put it bluntly, he wanted the Qing Dynasty to surrender. Ting was estranged from his father, and if he surrendered, his father's life would definitely not be easy.
Released but Hong Shiqin had his own ideas. Hong Shiqin was brought up by his grandmother. Mrs. Hong was a very dignified person and had always disapproved of her son Hong Chengchou's surrender to the Qing Dynasty. She beat her son with a rolling pin back then, so in Sun Tzu's education is very different from that of Hong Chengchou. Although he cannot be said to be in the Cao camp and his heart is in the Han Dynasty, he still has nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty. He has always been sad about being expelled from the clan. Now that he has a chance to return, He hoped he could catch it.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for disregarding past grievances. I will definitely remember the Emperor's teachings, atone for my father's sins, work for the benefit of the people, and do my best for the Ming Dynasty." Hong Shiqin weighed the pros and cons and immediately agreed to Emperor Hongguang's appointment.
It was a happy situation for everyone. After the banquet, I called Hong Shiqin alone. No matter what Hong Shiqin said, the necessary procedures had to be completed. "Hong Aiqing, I have always been suspicious of people, and I don't trust people when I employ them. But Hong Aiqing's situation is really special." , I hope Hong Aiqing can completely sever ties with Beijing. As the saying goes, if the father is not upright, then the son will be. My memory is not very good. Anyway, Aiqing should understand the meaning!"
Hong Shiqin made it clear, "What the emperor said is that Wei Chen has written a family letter and separated from the father-son relationship with Hong Chengchou." Since Hong Shiqin has made the current decision, there are some things that should be given up. I believe grandma will understand. His grandma will also be happy with his decision.
"The emperor's plan is very clever. I'm afraid Hong Chengchou's life will be difficult." After Hong Shiqin left, Yin Shixun came out from behind the screen with a smile, "But the 30,000 people who surrendered are not easy to arrange! And Hong Shiqin It can only be used temporarily. After the overall situation is stabilized, such people must be killed."
I nodded, "I have thought about it, and I am going to let Huang Shiren lead 20,000 troops, and take the 30,000 surrendered horses with him, so that he can seize Shaanxi. I will immediately march to Xiangyang. In this way, the entire Huguang will be recovered, and risk If we do some follow-up work in remote areas, the overall situation will be settled, and then we will immediately go north to join forces with King Gui and go straight to Hebei. I wonder what Ai Qing thinks?"
Released Yin Shixun nodded in agreement, "I think it's okay, but after the army arrives in Xiangyang, it will have to rest for ten or eight days. If Hong Shiqin is not afraid of repeating it, it would be a good idea to use him to win Xiangyang."
Posted "Except for the more than 8,000 people left to defend Henan, Xiangyang is basically an empty city. It will not be too difficult to capture Xiangyang." My judgment was somewhat wrong. Although Xiangyang has a small number of troops, its resistance is relatively tenacious. It took four days to use cannons to blow down the city wall of Xiangyang. It was considered a tough battle.
The army rested in Xiangyang for ten days. During this period, Huang Shiren was appointed by Emperor Hongguang as the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition. He led 50,000 troops into Shaanxi, aiming to seize Xi'an and go north to bypass Shanxi and attack Beijing. Emperor Hongguang was preparing to fight with Zhu Youlang. After joining forces, they advanced towards Hebei and completed the three-sided siege of the Manchus.
Published Today is the day when Huang Shiren goes to war. I have summoned many generals to hold a farewell ceremony for Huang Shiren.After having the five-flavored wine and three rounds of food, I saw Li Jian and suddenly remembered the joke. I thought it was time to solve Li Qian¡¯s problem. ¡°My dear friends, I remembered a joke and will tell it to you now.¡± Dear friends, please listen."
Posted "In ancient times, Mulan joined the army in place of her father. This joke is not intended to blaspheme Mulan. It is said that a hundred years after the founding of this dynasty, there was a forced conscription, and a woman joined the army in place of her father. This woman dressed up as a man and went to the army every day. We practiced swords and guns there, but everything was fine. But as luck would have it, the Mongolian Tatars suddenly invaded our frontier, so this team was transferred to Datong, Shanxi Province to resist the Mongolian Tatars. One day, this woman¡¯s army and the Mongolian Tatars When the two met outside the customs, there was naturally a fierce battle. Unfortunately, during the fierce battle, Yue Xin suddenly came to the woman. Her body was covered with blood. The officer leading the troops immediately asked her where she was injured? The woman¡¯s family knew His own family affairs were all right, but this officer was a soldier. When he saw the blood under the woman's body, he could not rest assured, so he forcibly took off the woman's clothes. This officer was from Shanxi, and he was shocked at first sight. : You bastard, your dick was blown away, and you still say it¡¯s okay!¡±
The generals present were all generals. When they heard Emperor Hongguang's joke, they couldn't help laughing. Some people burst into tears. Li Jian laughed a few times, but found that Emperor Hongguang smiled at him, with a look in his eyes. There was a profound meaning, and Li Jian's heart tightened, secretly thinking that was bad.
After Huang Shiren raised his troops and left, that night I was chatting with Yin Shixun about the reconstruction of Jingxiang. I heard from the soldiers that Li Jian came to visit. I smiled in my heart. It seemed that the joke made him realize that his identity was exposed. , I looked at Yin Shixun with a smile, "I want to meet this strange man, please arrange it with me, but don't let the geese peck you in the eye!"
Published Li Jian came to the inner room and found that Emperor Hongguang was alone. He smiled bitterly, "The emperor already knew that women of the people were dressing up as men, why didn't he tell the truth? I am afraid that the joke today was liked by the women of the people!"
I looked at Li Jian with a smile, "Not only do I know that you are disguised as a man, but I also know your identity, Li Jian, the wife of the Li family, whose name is Shishan, and the mountain stone is the rock. I prefer to associate myself with the wife of the Li family, Adding the word "rock", wouldn't it be Li Yan's wife Hong Niangzi? I wonder if my guess is correct?"
Posting the red lady, she did not expect that Emperor Hongguang had already guessed her identity from her literal meaning, "The emperor is right, I am indeed Li Yan's concubine, and she is also the leader of the White Lotus Sect that the emperor ordered to arrest. I have never been It¡¯s very interesting to think of meeting the emperor like this.¡±
Posted I smiled and stood up to pour a cup of tea for the Red Lady, "I heard that the Red Lady is a strange woman in the world. I wonder if I can see the true face of the Red Lady?"
Published The red lady nodded and turned her back. When she turned around again, Li Jian's face had disappeared, replaced by a charming and slightly sinister face, which was a hundred times more magical than the face-changing in Sichuan Opera.
Posted I heard Su Xing and Su Wenmao's uncle and nephew said that the red lady is very beautiful. Now it seems that what they said is true. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very beautiful. She looks like she is less than forty years old. She is a mature and beautiful woman. He said, "The lady is indeed beautiful, but I admire her even more for her courage. Now that she has come to see me, is she planning to assassinate me?" I looked at the red lady's jade face and couldn't help but take advantage of her.
The evil look on the red lady's face disappeared immediately, "I came to see the emperor for two things. Only today did I know that I had fallen into the emperor's control. Even Su Wenmao, who was following me, had just noticed it just now, so I still paid my respects. It¡¯s a gift from the emperor¡¯s joke!¡±
Published The red lady is really brave. She is still negotiating terms with me at this time. I have nothing to do tonight, so let¡¯s see what she has to say, ¡°Come and listen to what my lady has to say. Sit down!¡±
The red lady sat down and took a sip of tea, "Since I took charge of the White Lotus Sect, I have been attacked by the imperial court at every turn. Until the imperial court destroyed the main altar in Yueyang a few days ago, the White Lotus Sect was severely damaged. Only I The body and the protector survived, but when the protector was fleeing, he actually wanted to capture me and ask for reward from the court. Fortunately, I was rescued by the emperor, and I thanked you first."
Posted "The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. This is normal. The White Lotus Sect is gone, and everyone naturally has to think about themselves. In fact, I found out that the lady was a girl when I was dressing her wound, and then I found out the name of the lady's family name. The identity of the lady that comes to mind." I said and noticed that the red lady's face turned slightly red.
The red lady coughed and said, "I'd better get down to business! I'll tell you the truth. I did think about assassinating the emperor. There were a few times when I really wanted to do it, but in the end I didn't. It's not that I don't have the ability. Even if Now, I am confident that I will kill the emperor in one fell swoop before the guards around this room react."
Posted I was shocked when I heard this. I saw the Red Lady under Xita Gorge that day.Compared with martial arts masters, does she still intend to hide her kung fu? Could it be that I really met a genuine master of martial arts?
