"Nine Kings heard that China was originally empty, and within a few days, they gathered their troops and horses to move. The males under seventy and over ten years old all joined the army. The judgment of success or failure is here."

After writing the words, Choi Jun-eun put down his pen and rubbed his fingers that were frozen red. He read them and made sure there were no missing words. He folded the letter paper and sealed it up, calling the servant: "Send it back to Hanyang (Seoul) quickly, and don't delay." As an envoy sent by North Korea to Chenyang, he naturally had to send it back to his country as soon as possible when there was something happening in the Qing Dynasty to let the king know.

As a minister of the Li family, Choi Junen, who came from two groups, was full of contempt for the Manchus. This barbarian who shaved his hair and had a rat tail actually conquered North Korea, a small Northeast China that had been buried in Chinese civilization for a long time, and became the sect leader of North Korea! However, the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil now. I heard that it was even captured by thieves. It was really a bleak world!

Thinking that although North Korea changed its sect leader, its country was not cut off, Cui Junen was inevitably lucky. He knew that the Han people in the north would shave their hair and look ugly like they had forgotten their ancestors. I am afraid that if these Manchus occupied the land of the Ming Dynasty, they would continue to implement such evil policies.

On the ninth day of the fourth month of the 17th year of Chongzhen, Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, led Manchuria, two of the Mongolian soldiers, and the three kings of the Han army, and the Shungong troops, and sound and cannons started.

Hong Chengchou was riding on a horse, wearing the Qing Dynasty's official robe, and his mood was particularly complicated. Although the current situation was exactly in line with his conclusion in front of the late Emperor Huang Taiji: the Ming Dynasty could not last long, but this did not make him excited at all.

"Bachelor, the prince is invited." Bai Jia, who was in front of Dorgon, came to invite Hong Chengchou in person.

Hong Chengchou rode out from the accompanying team and followed the white armor to Dorgon's royal flag, and ceremonially performed according to Manchu customs.

Dorgon is 32 years old and is also heroic when riding on a horse. He has a big beard and a lion's nose and thin eyes. He seems stupid, but he is famous for his wisdom. He was named the Melgen Daiqing in his early years, which means "King of Smart" and the origin of "Prince Rui".

"Mr. Hong." Dorgon spoke Chinese with a slightly strange tone and was also a top figure among the Manchu nobles. He called Hong Chengchou to ride with him and said with great courtesy: "Look."

Hong Chengchou took a copy of the Qibing from Dorgon and sat on the horse to read it. It turned out to be a memorial to the regents on Fan Wencheng. As a Han minister, Fan Wencheng was also well-informed and famous for his vision. However, the words of this student were still too vulgar and omitted in the eyes of the Ming Jinshi like Hong Chengchou.

"I only believe that those who achieve great achievements and live forever will be able to live forever will be at this time, and those who fail to have the opportunity and regret the future will also be at this time." There are marks carved by Dorgon with his nails next to this sentence, which is obviously particularly true.

Dorgon smiled and said, "The so-called heroes are similar to each other. Mr. Fan and Mr. Hong are really heroes of the world." As soon as he opened his mouth, a white mist spewed out, and it rose up.

Early spring in the north is still the season when water turns into ice.

"Mr. Fan's vision is beyond his reach." Hong Chengchou responded. He and Fan Wencheng were not as close as the Han people thought, and would not be grateful for Fan Wencheng's surrender. In fact, he was full of disdain and contempt for Fan Wencheng.

"Mr. Hong," Dorgon said again, "The late emperor once said: "Mr. I am really the guide of my Manchuria. This time, I will take the troops of the entire clan and follow my advice and send troops to the Western Kingdom. Can I really establish a foundation that will last forever?"

Hong Chengchou said respectfully: "Prince. Now the bandits occupy Beijing, and their footholds are not stable, and they are tired soldiers. Our army came from Jizhou, and Miyun broke into the border wall to avoid the use of the army under the strong city of Shanhaiguan. Although they are also a guest army, they can be regarded as unexpected and unprepared to attack them.

"In addition, in Zhuming's three hundred years, how can people's hearts be changed once? The people suffer from the Zhu family's additional sects, so why don't they seek robbers? As long as our Qing Dynasty constrains military discipline, do not slaughter people, do not burn houses, and do not plunder money and property, the military and civilians will not violate them. With the banner of "destroying thieves for the Ming Dynasty" as a sign, we can naturally gain the hearts of the people."

Dorgon sprayed a fog and said, "I have ordered that anyone who resists will be killed, and no one else can be killed! If anyone in the army violates my order, he will definitely not forgive him! But Mr. Hong, can we really defend if we capture Beijing?"

"Can't defend it." Hong Chengchou said without hesitation: "So you have to attack."

"attack?"

"Just just as Qin lost his deer, Chu and Han chased him. Our dynasty said that it was to help Ming, but in fact it was to compete with Ming for the world. However, although it was to compete with Ming for the world, it was to compete with bandits." Hong Chengchou's words were ups and downs, and he turned two turns. If he had changed from Manchuria, he might not have understood it. Thanks to Dorgon's name for his intelligence and wisdom, he thought about it for a moment but understood most of it.

"Therefore, our army occupied Beijing and we must spare no effort to eliminate the bandits. This is the first step." Hong Chengchou said in a slight manner: "As soon as the bandits are destroyed, China will no longer have any soldiers who rebel against our dynasty. Our army will welcome Emperor Ming back to the dynasty. This is the second step. As for the third step, I think that Emperor Ming will be ashamed when he sees the Qing Dynasty's atmosphere and the military power is majestic. He will abdicate the throne and raise all the people of the world for his Zhu family."

Dorgon was excited when he heard this, and he vomited white mist and said excitedly: "Sir, he is indeed my Manchu leader! In the future, when talking about merit, he will definitely be the chief minister!"

Hong Chengchou was the governor of seven provinces in the Ming Dynasty. When Songshan was defeated, the "death" spread to Beijing. Emperor Chongzhen stopped him for three days, and sacrificed sixteen altars according to the rules of kings and princes. He also made the imperial "Mortgage of Hong Jingluo" to the world. Whether it is the trust in front of him or the grief after death, the Ming Dynasty will never let Hong Chengchou down.

After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou was the first Han minister and ranked first among all Han ministers. Even Manchus may not be able to compare with him. Whether it was Huang Taiji or Dorgon, they treated Hong Chengchou very well and treated him like an emperor's teacher. For Hong Chengchou, who was already a very powerful minister, the most important thing was his reputation.

Confucius said: A gentleman is frightened and has lost his reputation.

Hong Chengchou was already famous in this world, and everyone knew it, and even scolded it. If you want to avoid being cast into an iron image by others and be infamous for thousands of years, there is only one way: to help the Qing Dynasty get the world!

Since ancient times, kings and enemies have been defeated. As long as the Qing Dynasty achieved the orthodox world, he would be a minister of the dragon and aspire to the heavens and respond to others. The founder of the Manchu and Han family, calling him a humiliating the country and a rebel! He would only be praised and would never be nailed to the pillar of shame.

"It depends on the prince's cultivation." Hong Chengchou responded gently.

Dorgon's thin eyes were as thin as a crack, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he had seen the great country of Ming Dynasty waving to him. He read the books and had long admired the scenery of Jiangnan, and he wished he could have a pair of wings and flew all the way over.

...

In April of the 17th year of Chongzhen, Shandong Laizhou.

The original government office had been changed to an emperor's palace. Although it did not tell the world clearly, the Jinyiwei guards guarding at the door seemed to have explained something. Because the incident was rushed, they had to restore the country frugally, and a large amount of supplies were sent to the defense line of Helexia in Dengzhou. The government office was not expanded at all, but just bought the surrounding houses, broke the wall and opened the door, and settled the concubines in the palace, etc.

"At that time, my family was poor, and Suzhou was another place to cook cinnamon and jade. Your grandfather took me to the capital to join the family. He didn't get it for a while, so he went to the street to sell the hexagrams. After selling it, he bought the cakes and came back to eat with me. If he couldn't sell it, he would only be the father and daughter who were hungry..." When Queen Zhou said this, she was sobbing and tears fell.

The eldest daughter, Zhu Mai, sat on the edge of the bed, holding a piece of hairy brocade in her hand, wiping tears for her mother. Her nose and eyes were red, and she was obviously crying heavily. Zhu Cixuan was rushed back to Laizhou by her mother, and she thought something big happened, but it turned out that her mother had received news from the capital that Li Zicheng killed Jiading Boss Zhou Kui, who was Zhu Cixuan's grandfather.

As soon as he entered the Tian family, there was a distinction between a monarch and a minister. As the mother of the country, Empress Zhou could not even cry for her father. Who would be ruthless than a tree? Empress Zhou finally felt in her heart and was seriously ill on the bed. Although Empress Zhang and Concubine Yuan often came to see her, the only one who could always be with her to relieve her was her own children.

Ci Jiong and Ci Xun stayed with her for most of the day, but the eunuch called her to class. My mother was fine, so she accompanied her, listening to her mother talking about the embarrassment of her family back then.

Before Zhu Cixuan came in, he knew that Li Zicheng had raised an army of 100,000 and headed to Shanhaiguan. He also knew that the 100,000 were all the troops near Beijing, but he did not expect that Li Zicheng was empty in the capital and was afraid that the noble relatives of Ming would be in chaos behind him and killed many people - Jiading Bo Zhou Kui was one of them.

Zhu Cilang thought that Li Zicheng had changed his habit of killing innocent people, but he did not expect that he would become a revelation. Thinking of the fact that Li Zicheng's defeat in the original historical script was a bit bad. Now it seems that this is indeed a sign that he cannot be the best position and become a bandit again.

"This time, the thief recovered stolen goods from Jiading Bo, and got 530,000 taels of cash in silver." Zhu Cilang said lightly.

Zhou Hou's crying voice suddenly choked and looked at his son: "Who is talking nonsense!"

"It's my son's eyeliner in Beijing, so it won't be fake." Zhu Cilang slowed down and said: "My son also heard that the father advised the noble family to donate that day, and the mother secretly gave him 5,000 taels of money to Jiading Bo..."

"Your grandfather came to the palace to cry to me. I just thought that there was no money in my family, so I asked him to donate it with this silver... But I thought that it would be..." Queen Zhou was surprised and had no words to describe the "five hundred thousand taels" for a moment!

"Uncle Jiading took the five thousand taels of his mother's queen and donated only three thousand taels." Zhu Cilang's voice was calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "There are two thousand taels of silver, which is now in the 530,000 taels."

Queen Zhou couldn't say a word. Although the sorrow in her heart was diluted in an instant, her chest became more stuffy and her whole body seemed to have been exhausted. She was thinking about her father's grace when she was poor, but now she became resentful that her father could not be loyal to her country.

"My mother, if nothing is done, my son will sue me first." Zhu Cilang helped her to relieve her mother and was quite satisfied with her achievements. She stood up and saluted her, and said to Zhu Mei: "Kunxing, let the mother rest quietly for a while, you can follow me."

Zhu Mo looked at his mother, saw that her mother nodded slightly, left the brocade beside the bed, got up and bowed and said she left.
