Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Some people are favored by God, and no matter how rough their life experience is, they always shine like gold. Hong Chengchou is such a person. He was originally a poor man who once worked as a hawker selling dried tofu, but this disciple from a humble family can still rise to the top and become an official.  To the Minister of War and the Governor of Jiliao, the struggle process can be called inspirational, and the smooth official career is like a miracle. It can be said that he is a proud man blessed by God.  If Hong Chengchou had died in the Battle of Songjin, he would have left his mark in history. If Fan Wencheng had not discovered that Hong Chengchou, who was under house arrest, brushed off the dust on his clothes, and then said to Huang Taiji: "Chengchou will not die."  That's right. Chengchou still cherishes my robe so much, how about his body?" Huang Taiji accepted the professional advice of Fan Wencheng, Zhang Cunren and others, took great care of Hong Chengchou, treated him kindly, and finally persuaded him to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.  Hong Chengchou will not be accused of being unjust and betraying his family.  Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in the world. Hong Chengchou could only watch in despair as artillery shells exploded in his position, while his loyal men kept falling in the explosion. He could not understand why the Sichuan army attacked so crazily. The artillery shells  He poured it out as if he didn't want money, as if he didn't understand why he didn't die in the battle or why he didn't persist to the end.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: No honor and no wealth. In the end, I was isolated and helpless in the wilderness, with my life hanging by a thread. I might as well have been braver at the beginning.  After Lu Haoshan gave the order, Li Dingguo, Tang Qiang and others could not be polite. They had no place to vent their anger. Now they just took it out on Hong Chengchou, who was huddled in Dingjun Mountain. He hated the Han soldiers no less than the Qing army, that is, Hong Chengchou.  The surrender of the Ming Dynasty caused the morale of the Ming Dynasty to plummet, which caused an uproar among the people of the Central Plains at that time, because Hong Chengchou was the only high-ranking general in Chongzhen who had not been punished. Even if the bandits failed, his status was steadily rising, but in this way he still betrayed  Daming makes people feel extremely shameful.  Such people should not be killed.  Then there is no justice.  More than thirty general cannons were lined up in a row, and they couldn't help but bombard Dingjun Mountain indiscriminately. This improved version of the general had a long range and great power. It blasted a hole every time. Hong Chengchou only had ordinary cannons in his hands.  The Tiger Crouching Cannon has less than one-third of the range of a general cannon. The original three Hongyi cannons were also blown up by Li Dingguo. In fact, it was useless even with the Hongyi cannons. They were all beaten.  After several rounds of shelling, the position on Dingjun Mountain was in a mess.  As soon as the sound of artillery subsided, several groups of people rushed forward impatiently. The heavy shield soldiers were in front of them to block the arrows and rolling wood, and the fire gun soldiers followed behind, setting off fire guns, throwing grenades, and using firearms to clear the way.  The artillery at the foot of the mountain was not idle, and had been escorting the charging soldiers, firing wherever they appeared.  "Brothers. Kill, capture the big man alive and capture Hong Chengchou." "Capture Hong Chengchou alive!" "Capture Hong Chengchou alive!" "Capture Hong Chengchou alive!" A group of soldiers roared up to the sky and the earth, breaking through the Qing army's defenses like a torrent, like  An unstoppable torrent keeps moving forward.  The weapons of the Qing army on Dingjun Mountain were not as good as those of the Sichuan army, and their morale was also at a disadvantage. They fired a few cannons and knocked down a few sentries from time to time. They lived in fear every day.  The morale of the soldiers had long been low. Seeing the Sichuan army launch a general offensive, many people felt a sense of relief in their hearts.  It is too uncomfortable to live in the shadow of death every day.  It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible.  The morale of the Sichuan army was as high as rainbow, and everyone's face turned red because of the excitement. In contrast to the Sichuan army, Hong Chengchou stood on Dingjun Mountain, his face was as pale as paper. Although he was holding a sword in his hand, if you look carefully, you can see that the tip of the sword is  Trembling slightly.  "General, let's protect you and rush out." "Keep the green hills here, don't worry about running out of firewood. General, we will be fine." "These Manchus are really unreliable. They have set off so many beacons. There are so many troops here.  It¡¯s only a hundred miles away from Hanzhong, and the reinforcements haven¡¯t arrived yet. What are they doing?¡± ¡°Oh my God, are we going to be abandoned?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we surrender?  We will sacrifice our lives for whoever gives us food.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s difficult, but I haven¡¯t heard of the Sichuan army wanting to surrender since we were surrounded¡± Everyone said something to each other, although the content of the words was different.  The difference is that they are both desperate. The firepower of the Sichuan army continues to increase, but the reinforcements that they are looking forward to have not arrived yet, which makes the soldiers present frustrated.  People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team. There is a trace of despair in Hong Chengchou's eyes, and his heart is full of regret. He has been carrying the sin of the past and can't enjoy it. If he had known that, he would have been better off fighting for the reputation of being a loyal man. Now he is losing face again.  It's not enough to be a slave of three families. The Sichuan army shouted loudly to capture the big man alive, but he knew with his buttocks that falling into their hands would not end well. Qin Hui, who colluded with foreigners to frame Yue Fei, was nailed to history.On the pillar of shame in history, casting a bronze statue and being cast aside by the world is a lesson from the past.  When thinking of Qin Hui, Hong Chengchou's face turned even paler.  Just when Hong Chengchou was feeling regretful, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Zhao Zhen, Qin Chuan, what are you going to do?" When everyone heard this, they saw that at some point a group of people quietly gathered around with weapons, looking at  Quite unkind.  Zhao Zhen is a burly, bald man with scars on his face, giving him a very tough look, especially the fierce light coming out of his triangular eyes, which makes him feel like a man-eating beast.  , seeing that his little plan was seen through, he immediately said with a sneer: "The Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty never paid attention to us, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and regarded us as his dogs. Now we have become abandoned, and the Sichuan Army  The artillery is too powerful. If we wait any longer, we will be dead. Did you hear it? The Sichuan Army is saying to capture the big Han Jian alive. As long as we present the person the Sichuan Army wants, we might not have to die but there will be a reward. General Hong.  , you can¡¯t escape anyway, why not stay with your brothers for a while, don¡¯t worry, we will burn paper money for you during the holidays.¡± ¡°Hey,¡± Qin Chuan stuck out his tongue and licked his mouth and said:  "General Hong, my brothers are following you. There is no credit but hard work. You have a lot of money, please help my brothers." The name of the person who just yelled was Kong Sen. He was the captain of Hong Chengchou's bodyguard. Hearing this, he said angrily: "  You white-eyed wolves, the general doesn¡¯t treat you well. Even if you haven¡¯t fulfilled your duty, you still want to sell out to save Rong?¡± ¡°Hahaha¡± Zhao Zhen looked up to the sky and smiled, and then said with disdain: ¡°  Isn¡¯t this a rude thing to say? Anyone can say this, but let¡¯s spare it General Hong. It¡¯s obvious to all the world how the former emperor treated General Hong, but isn¡¯t it true that he surrendered to foreign enemies?  At least the Sichuan Army is one of our own. Hehe, capture him and offer him to the Sichuan Army. This is called turning the dark side into the light, and maybe he will become a hero. " "Old Zhao, don't talk nonsense to him." Qin Chuan shouted: "Brothers,  "Come on." After that, a group of people with ulterior motives rushed forward with their weapons. Kong Sen roared when he saw it, and while protecting the pale Hong Chengchou, he fought with the rebels. The scene became a mess for a while.  The situation changed drastically, and Hong Chengchou seemed to turn a deaf ear. His face seemed to change color, sometimes white, sometimes red, sometimes green. His face was like his mood, which was extremely complicated. Zhao Zhen's words were like a slap in the face.  Hit himself in the face, at this moment, fragments of his life suddenly appeared in front of Hong Chengchou: Born in a scholarly family, but his family was poor. Although he was young, he felt the coldness of human affection early; When he was 11 years old, his family background  It was so bad that I had no choice but to drop out of school and sell dried tofu. At the age of 11, I used to do homework for students to sell out all my dried tofu quickly. I also used this method to get the attention of my husband, so I accepted him as a disciple without paying tuition.  , cultivated carefully; In the forty-third year of Wanli (1615), he passed the examination and won the second prize in the second year. That year, he was only 23 years old. That year, he was proud and full of ambitions, and the door to wealth  It has been opened to myself; At the turn of spring and summer in the second year of Chongzhen (1629), farmer Wang Zuogui of Qingjian County, Shaanxi Province led the rebel army to attack Hancheng. As a counselor of Shaanxi Province's grain road, he firmly stayed when many officials fled with their belongings and heads in their hands.  After coming down, he organized the local warriors to suppress him, and finally won the bet. This year, his name appeared in front of Emperor Chongzhen's court case. From then on, he rose through the ranks, and finally became the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Governor of Jiliao;  A couplet: "The emperor's kindness is as deep as the sea, and the minister's loyalty is as heavy as a mountain." After surrendering to the Manchus, some scholars added one word to each of his couplets: "The emperor's kindness is as deep as the sea! The minister's loyalty is as heavy as a mountain."  ?" At that moment, I wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl under; "After hearing that he had surrendered, his parents silently smashed the Jinshi monument erected for him at the head of the village with a hammer. The brothers broke up with each other and sent someone back secretly.  Money was also abandoned on the roadside;  With that scene in his mind, Hong Chengchou felt that his life could be written into a book, in which there was laughter, tears, family affection, pain and regret.  There were many ifs in his mind, but unfortunately there were no ifs in the world. At this moment, he had to drink the bitter wine he brewed himself.  Zhao Zhen and Qin Chuan rebelled in times of crisis. For some reason, Hong Chengchou didn't resent them in his heart, or perhaps it was because grief was greater than heartbreak. At this time, the scene was in chaos, and people screamed and fell down from time to time, but Hong Chengchou turned a deaf ear.  He suddenly knelt down in front of Jing, smiled miserably, and then swung his sword to kill himself. The moment he fell to the ground, Hong Chengchou heard the desperate howl of his personal guard captain Kong Sen.  There were more than 20 personal guards of Hong Chengchou, and nearly 200 people who followed Zhao Zhen and Qin Chuan in rebellion.They were all carefully selected warriors. They were extremely elite, but they were outnumbered. In the end, they were all killed. Zhao Zhen didn't hesitate at all. He couldn't capture him alive, but he still cut off Hong Chengchou's head with one knife (To be completed.)  Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ps: Note: Hong Chengchou (October 16, 1593 - April 3, 1665), courtesy name Yanyan, No. Hengjiu.
