"First talk about your short-sightedness. Grenades and mines, especially after the invention of steel guns, personal bravery is meaningless. The advantages you have lost in the riding and shooting skills that you are proud of have even become your burden. Unfortunately, you still hold on to the superiority of the past. Facing you were afraid of the Ming army by you, your victorious mentality has not changed. Even when facing me, you look down on me and speak filthy. Isn't it stupid to just think about your own strengths and ignore other strengths intentionally or unintentionally?"

"...Yes, the emperor taught a lesson. Not only is the general of the crime, but the court has never seen this. It is indeed stupid to blindly believe in personal bravery and cavalry skills. Emperor, what is that kind of firearm called? Steel gun?" Obai said.

"The full name is Yongli Weilong Spear. It was developed several months ago, and the production capacity is insufficient. Currently, there are only 800. In another year, I will have thousands of these spears. By then, Oboi, my Ming army flattened Beijing City, is it still a dream?"

"Yes, yes, your majesty, this gun is indeed powerful, and the crime will not be able to fight back at all."

"Besides, your narrow-mindedness is for the life of the soldiers. I highly appreciate this. I did not take the soldiers' lives to gain fame. However, after you went to the palace, you tried to anger me for fame. If I was successfully angered by you and killed you, Jirgalang, Mandahai, Lukedehun, Tan Tai would definitely not ask for surrender again and fight me to the end. Under the siege of our army, there is also the advantage of firearms. Oboi, have you ever thought about this result?" Zhu Youlang asked.

When Oboi heard this, he sweated coldly on his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "Master, the crime will almost be a big mistake. Thanks to the Emperor who ignores the fault of the general, the crime will be recognized..."

"I hope you can really know your mistakes. Since you surrender, even if I am a member of the Ming Dynasty, I hope you will think carefully, unify the world, and make some contributions to you, Manchus."

"Yes, yes, sin will be certain, sin will be certain..." Oboi lowered his head and said.

Zhu Youlang made a big statement and felt thirsty. Just as he was about to ask for tea, Yang Ai handed over the tea cup and brought it to his mouth for a drink. It happened to be the first time.

"Well, he is a kind-hearted person." Zhu Youlang thought to himself.

"General!" Zhu Youlang put down the teacup and called out.

Hazhan quickly responded and bowed and replied, "The sin is going to be."

"General Ha, I believe Jirgalang has the conditions to raise the situation, right?"

"Yes, the emperor, Prince Zheng does have three conditions to raise."

"Speak and listen."

"Yes, the emperor. The first is to ask the emperor to ensure the safety of the surrendered soldiers and not be abused; the second is to ask Hong Chengchou and others to be punished for surrendering to the Qing Han officials; the third is to ask the emperor to reward Prince Zheng with a face."

When Zhu Youlang heard these three conditions, he felt that it was not too much.

The first and third articles have been thought of in advance, but the second article has not been thought of.

Unexpectedly, Jirgalang specifically asked Hong Chengchou for mercy to avoid death. What does it mean? It shows that Jirgalang attaches great importance to Hong Chengchou.

Zhu Youlang did not hate Hong Chengchou very much. Although he was a person who sold his country and sought honor, he was different from King Sanshun and Wu Sangui. He had no blood on his hands. After surrendering to the Manchus, he had never been valued or led troops. He mainly focused on making suggestions.

Moreover, after the Qing army occupied Beijing, he urged Dorgon to implement a pacification policy on the Han people and advocate Confucianism. Although his real purpose was to consolidate the Qing Dynasty's rule, he objectively avoided the mass murder of the Han people.

Of course, the emergence of "Ten Days in Yangzhou", "Three Massacres of Jiading" and "Shaving Hair and Changing Clothes" has objective reasons, and it is not something that Hong Chengchou can stop.

If you want to say that what really made Zhu Youlang hate was of course the matter of sending Qian Qianyi to the scene.

This thing was done very violently, making full use of Qian Qianyi's fame and the nature of both the first and the rat.

If Liu Rushi had not decided to break up with Qian Qianyi in the face of Dayi, it would have probably caused the damage to the newly established Southern Ming court that would not have been as small as Xiangyang, Jingmen, and Jiujiang.

Of course, judging from the development of the incident, Qian Qianyi was helping Zhu Youlang in his heart, allowing him to successfully mobilize the Qing soldiers to follow his plan.

Although Hong Chengchou's original intention was not like this, it objectively led to an ending that was favorable to Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youlang did think about executing this traitor, but he really cherished his talent.

If we talk about the talents of the commander in the world, except for Li Dingguo, Shi Lang and Zheng Chenggong, Hong Chengchou was the only one.

Compared with them, Li Chengdong, Zhang Jiayu, Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu and others are not considered handsome talents with great strategic vision.

"Since Jirgalang has proposed it, I will take the opportunity to save him from his death penalty." Zhu Youlang thought to himself.

As for keeping face to Jirgalang, it’s just that I want a title.

This problem is not necessary for Jirgalangti, he will do this himself.

Because Zhu Youlang's vision was very long-term, he was thinking about Haoge and the young emperor Shunzhi in Beijing.

If you can avoid bleeding, try not to bleed. It is Zhu Youlang's greatest wish to liberation in peace.

Treating Jirgalang well must have positive significance for the peaceful liberation of the region north of the Yangtze River.

Besides, the title is more symbolic in Zhu Youlang's new policy. There is no fiefdom, no military power, or no power. It is just that the status is more respectable and the salary is higher.

However, Zhu Youlang did not intend to be appointed as a king of another surname. In addition to his descendants, no matter how high his achievements were, he could only be named Duke. There is no need to think about the throne.

...

After thinking about the matter thoroughly, Zhu Youlang said to Hazhan: "I have agreed to these three conditions."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will go back to report to Prince Zheng. But, I dare to ask, what title does the emperor have to grant Prince Zheng?" Hazhan did not expect it to be so smooth, so he knelt down and thanked him, and at the same time he did not forget to ask about Jiergalang's title.

He touched Zhu Youlang's bottom to avoid Jiergalang being dissatisfied at that time, so that he would fall in love with both sides.

"Bold! From the way of grace, how can the minister ask for it?!" Qu Shixiu heard Hazhan say this and shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes, this adult taught me a lesson, but I'm afraid that the sin will not be able to be explained when I go back." Ha Zhan had a good temper and was scolded by Qu Shisi without annoyance. He nodded and admitted his mistake, but still refused to give up.

"General Ha, I am very clear about your little thoughts. I am just afraid that Jirhalang will blame you in the future. Go, since I have agreed to these three conditions, there is no reason to break my promise. As for his title, it depends on Jirhalang's performance and my mood. If you annoy me, you will be granted the lowest title." Zhu Youlang naturally refused to be led by Hazhan's hob and said coldly.
