    The passing geese leave their voices, and the passing people leave their names. I don¡¯t know how many people have been submerged in the long river of Chinese history. Hong Chengchou can leave his own traces on it, which can be regarded as a historical figure. This is also a manifestation of his ability. He was once poor.  , He was once inspiring, he was once proud, he was once favored by the emperor, and he was once reviled by thousands of people, but it is no longer important now.  Because he has become a part of history, Lu Haoshan looked at the head on the table, which was the head of Hong Chengchou. He watched this historical figure with special significance die in front of his eyes, and he was filled with emotions.  It can be said that it is extremely difficult for a child from a poor family to reach the position of Hong Chengchou. It is said that good birds choose trees to roost, and good talents choose masters to serve. The Ming Dynasty has been suffering for a long time. From the perspective of the future, Qingqing, which is at its peak, is indeed more worthy of seeking refuge.  However, the Manchus were foreigners and had a feud with the Ming Dynasty. The ancients said that there is a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety. In heaven and earth, the emperor is a relative and a teacher. Loyalty comes before filial piety, and the emperor also comes before relatives. Loyalty to the emperor is a very important moral standard. Hong Chengchou's betrayal is also  He was labeled a sinner through the ages.  It has to be said that it is an irony that the once all-powerful Superintendent is now beheaded by his subordinates as a gift of surrender.  "Alas, what a pity." Lu Haoshan sighed.  If Hong Chengchou had been born in a peaceful era, although he would not have been promoted so quickly, he would have risen to prominence based on his intelligence and intelligence, and his achievements would not have been worse than those of suppressing bandits. However, he was born in troubled times and in a building.  A dying dynasty.  Tang Qiang looked at Hong Chengchou's head with disdain, and even said with some joy in his tone: "Sir, what a shame for such a traitor. He is a traitorous, shameless bitch. His eyes are dirty just by looking at him."  "That's right, dying so happily will help him," Zhang Rui said coldly: "If he falls into my hands, his life will definitely be worse than death. He will regret coming to this world." "That's right" Li Dingguo also said  He said with disdain: "This kind of ungrateful villain. It would be best if he died. It's not pleasant to see him." Hao Feng on the side took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "Sir, why don't you whip him with a whip and whip his corpse?"  , let him seek refuge with Qing Gou. "Lu Haoshan didn't expect that his sigh would attract so much discussion, and even the whip corpse came out. He smiled and shook his head and said, "If this kind of person doesn't deserve to die, then it's unjust.  Everyone can sympathize, but those who betray their country and seek glory by helping foreigners to harm their own compatriots will never be unworthy of any sympathy." "My lord," Tang Qiang pointed at Hong Chengchou's head and asked, "What should I do with this thing?  Break it into pieces and feed it to the dogs? "The resentment is not light.  There is a custom in China where the dead are the most important. Tang Qiang now said that he should chop them into pieces and feed them to the dogs. However, this is understandable. It turned out that Tang Qiang protected the place with his youth and life, but Hong Chengchou brought the Manchus to conquer it.  Not resentful?  Lu Haoshan thought for a moment and quickly said: "It's nothing to chop him up alive. It's not honorable to disgrace his body after he's dead. See if he still has the courage to commit suicide. Hao Feng, you can dig a hole for him and bury him."  "Yes, sir." Hao Feng quickly responded, but quickly asked in a low voice: "Sir, what should be written on the inscription?" "Let others and future generations evaluate him."  Said lightly.  This is an imitation of Wu Zetian, the first female emperor in Chinese history. Before her death, she ordered a huge wordless monument to be erected in front of her mausoleum.  The domineering and broad-mindedness of the female emperor can also be seen from this wordless tablet: no matter what she says on it, some people will definitely disagree with her, so it is better not to say anything and let future generations make their own evaluations.  Hao Feng took the order and left.  Lu Haoshan then turned his attention to the two big men kneeling below who were closely guarded by soldiers. They were Zhao Zhen and Qin Chuan who presented Hong Chengchou's head.  The greatest achievement in capturing Dingjun Mountain was to prevent people from burning down the granary, thus allowing the Sichuan army to seize a large amount of grain and grass.  And there were about two thousand people kneeling in the open space outside. They all followed Zhao Zhen and Qin Chuan to surrender.  Li Dingguo noticed Lu Haoshan's gaze and asked in a low voice: "Sir, what should I do with these people?" "I am willing to do my best for you, please spare my life." "Sir, please spare my life." Zhao Zhenhe  Qin Chuan knew that the moment to decide his life had come, so he kowtowed and begged for mercy.  Zhang Rui said coldly: "Sir, these people are also betraying their masters and being unfaithful and unjust. They may turn around and bite their masters one day. Why not kill them all and deal with them all at once."  Today they can kill the old master for the sake of activities, but maybe one day they will betray the new master for profit. It would be a disaster to keep him, so they might as well kill him.  In bandit culture, loyalty is very important. You can lose, but you are greedy for life and afraid of death, but??You must not betray. For example, there is a "lighting the sky lantern" in the implementation of the mountain rules, which was created specifically to punish traitors.  Because these two rebelled, no one could get the greatest credit. Li Dingguo also said a little unhappy: "General Zhang is right, these people are a disaster if they are left here. It is better to kill them." "Sir, spare your life."  , The younger one followed him just for the sake of eating. " "Yes, he is our general, we dare not disobey his orders." " Sir, spare your life, the younger one didn't dare."  Rui's words made his face turn green with fright. He was thinking about what kind of reward he could get, but after hearing what the two of them said, he dared to ask for anything. He begged for mercy again and again, for fear that the Sichuan Governor in front of him would not let him go.  "No wonder so many people like to sharpen their heads and try to be a master. This feeling of controlling other people's lives and futures is so wonderful. It's like being in the clouds and looking down at all living beings like gods.  Now he is the "god" who controls the lives of these prisoners of war, and their life and death depend on his own thoughts.  "Stop!" Lu Haoshan shouted loudly to calm everyone down, and then asked calmly: "What is your name?" "The younger one is called Zhao Zhen. He originally held the post of Qianhu, and later he was held the post of Han Xianglan Banner Jia La Ezhen.  "The younger one's name is Qin Chuan. Like Brother Zhao, he used to hold the position of Qianhu, but now he is the Han Xianglan Banner Jia La E Zhen." The two did not dare to hide it, so they quickly confessed their situation. They knew that the Sichuan Army was there.  He is very good at intelligence. There is no point in hiding these things. It is better to confess them honestly.  Lu Haoshan didn't even look at them, and said loudly: "Originally, you were all going to be put to death. Seeing that you were able to deceive the disciples and turn around and have performed meritorious service, I will give you two choices. One is to stay as a soldier, and the salary is only ordinary."  Half of the soldiers, but the words are clear from the front, you must act as a vanguard, and you can become a full-time soldier in two years if you perform well; another option is to join the slaves and serve as slaves in Sichuan for ten years, and if you are still alive after ten years, you will be free.  " After that, he waved his hand and said: "You can discuss with your subordinates. Those who are willing to stay as soldiers will stand on the left side of the open space, and those who are willing to be enslaved will stand on the right side. You only have a quarter of an hour. " "Thank you, sir."  Zhao Zhen and Qin Chuan's eyes flashed with a look of surviving the disaster, and they quickly thanked them, and then went outside to explain Lu Haoshan's words clearly to their subordinates, allowing them to make their own choices.  It¡¯s pretty good to be able to save one life. The two of them didn¡¯t dare to bargain, and they had no right to bargain.  To Lu Haoshan's surprise, most of the more than 2,000 people were willing to stay as soldiers and serve as cannon fodder for the Sichuan army. Later, he found out that many soldiers actually followed their generals to join the Qing Dynasty just for a meal.  It¡¯s easy to disembark from the ship, and you can¡¯t even run away. The food and treatment of the Sichuan army are good, even if they only have half the salary, they are still better than the Qing army. In the Qing army, you are destined to be cannon fodder, and there is nothing unacceptable about being cannon fodder for the Sichuan army. If you behave  Okay, it will be great if you become a regular employee.  At the very least, fighting for your compatriots is worth dying. Zhao Zhen and Qin Chuan both chose to stay. They are desperate gamblers. Let them choose to be slaves. That would be more uncomfortable than killing them. It is better to stay here.  Fight for wealth on the battlefield.  This is exactly what the old saying says: People are not afraid of death, they are just afraid of losing hope and running away.  After learning what these people thought, Lu Haoshan didn't say anything, just smiled. Those who were willing to be converted into slaves happened to have a grain transport team returning to Sichuan, and they were escorted back to build the highway. There were no people who were willing to be cannon fodder.  When they were idle, they were immediately asked to participate in building fortifications. Now that Dingjun Mountain had changed hands, it was difficult for Wujiawan alone to resist the Manchu cavalry. As soon as it was captured, Lu Haoshan immediately started to take over Dingjun Mountain.  Some time ago, it was bombed every day, and many of its defenses had been blown up.  According to the scouts, Dorgon was still advancing slowly with his troops. The large troops included cavalry, shield soldiers, infantry, archers, as well as equipment and food. In order not to be defeated one by one by the Sichuan army, they chose to move together, and they had to  In response to the harassment of the Sichuan Army, not to mention other things, just the traps set by the Sichuan Army gave them a headache. Several large rocks fell from time to time, and they accidentally tripped over the fuses of grenades, etc., so they marched slowly. With their marching speed,  At this speed, it would take at least three days to reach Dingjun Mountain.  Lu Haoshan knew that the more restrained Dorgon was, the firmer his determination would be. Lu Haoshan also used this time to restore and strengthen the fortifications at Dingjun Mountain. In Lu Haoshan's plan, he placed the main force on Dingjun Mountain.  and Wujiawan, so that the two can be each other's horns.  "I didn't expect that a remote village turned into a fortress. It's really amazing." Li Dingguo, who was following Lu Haoshan to inspect the position, stood on the mountainside and sighed while looking at Dingjun Mountain below.  Li Dingguo has just left Sichuan to perform dutiesAt that time, Wujiawan was just a remote and dilapidated small village with only a few dozen homes. Since Lu Haoshan set up the Sichuan Army General Station here, a lot of construction work has been carried out to build fortifications. Now there are protective ditches, barriers, walls, etc., and cement in the village.  There are many sentries and forts, and the view from the mountain is very spectacular.  It¡¯s simply a completely different look.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
