The most painful thing about Hong Chengchou was that he was not pleased on both sides of the front line. Although Dorgon was determined to recruit him to return to Beijing to resign, the officials in the capital persuaded Dorgon to keep him on the front line. Because changing generals at the last stage is a taboo in military strategists, it is difficult to see a person's position in this kind of advice.

What made Hong Chengchou even more headache was that his mother would not come early or late, but she arrived in Baoding at this time. If it were a year earlier, this would undoubtedly be great news, allowing him to focus on attacking Can Ming, create a foundation for the Qing Dynasty, and wash away the stigma of surrender and turning against the law.

However, now the Qing Dynasty is suspicious of Han officials, and the arrival of his mother will undoubtedly become a trump card for Dorgon to threaten him. Hong Chengchou knew that he was unfaithful to his former lord, and if he ended up as an unfilial son, how could he be a human being? Compared to the Qing Dynasty, which often killed people, Hong Chengchou believed in the ethics of the Ming Dynasty. It was obvious that the court's measure had not been attacked by the Hong clan for so many years.

Hong's mother got off the carriage and looked at her son coldly. She remembered that her family was poor and her sensible son helped her make tofu at home. She also went to Yingxupu to sell her every morning... Later, her son was so weak that she was Chinese, and Lian Jie had won the imperial examination, but she had never returned to her hometown for decades.

When we met at this time, Hong's mother could only vaguely see the shadow of her son from her eyebrows and eyes. If she had met by chance on the street, she might not have recognized him.

Hong Chengchou himself had passed his destiny. He looked at his mother, who was over 70 years old, and knelt on the ground and cried. He said, "My son is unfilial..."

"You are indeed unfilial!" When Hong's mother heard her son's words, she still kept her local accent. A stream of passionate blood rushed to her forehead, and she swung her crutch and beat Hong Chengchou.

"Your mother is seventy years old. You actually asked me to come from all over the place to be an old mother! Why do you want you to be an unfilial son?" Hong's mother scolded and fought against Hong Chengchou. The wife of the bannerman had to take turns to the palace to serve the empress dowager, so Hong's mother said to be a "old mother".

The guards around him knew that it was his mother's beating, and no one dared to come forward to stop him. Hong Chengchou could only bow his head and resist it, but his mother was really beaten hard by his mother. He knew that his mother also went to the fields to work when she was young, and not being beaten to death showed that her mother showed mercy. If she dodged, she would probably make her mother even more unhappy.

Hong's mother beat her and panted. Finally, she stopped and looked at Hong Chengchou dressed in a flag-man costume. Tears couldn't help but flow down, crying: "My Weng Shan Hong family has been in love with books for generations, how can you be an unfaithful and unfilial thing!"

Hong Chengchou lowered his head and dared not speak, so he could only let his mother scold him. He knew that the Qing court was not arrogant and his mother was strong-willed. He would inevitably cause trouble and could only send people around him, not be allowed to watch and listen. At the same time, he advised his mother to take care of her health and go to the city to rest first. The maids accompanied him also advised the old lady to take care of her. Finally, under the old man's cry, he arrived at the temporary residence arranged by Hong Chengchou.

The old man was over 70 years old. He was so exhausted that he quickly fell asleep.

Hong Chengchou called the old lady's personal maid and asked, "Is the old lady safe all the way?"

The maid said, "When I was in Nanjing, a Master Ruan gave me a four-wheeled carriage. After passing Xuzhou, the road was much smoother. The ancestors were quite safe all the way."

"Master Ruan?" Hong Chengchou frowned.

"It's the Master Ruan who is known to Dacheng. According to him, he is the Master, you are the same year." said the maid.

Hong Chengchou knew that in the same year, the only one with the surname Ruan, Ruan Dacheng, was the only one in his name. He asked again: "Where is the carriage?"

"The road behind Zhending is bumpy. I still asked someone to change the old car. My ancestor said that since the car was not used, I would return it to someone, which was considered to be borrowed."

Hong Chengchou had a slight head. He knew that Ruan Dacheng's family was rich, but he didn't expect that he would have a relationship with him. Haven't the ministers of Nandu listed themselves as a shame for the Shilin? Or is the Eastern Palace trying to surrender me?

Hong Chengchou's heart trembled, as if he had seen another world. If the Eastern Palace had the intention to recruit and pardon his previous sins, he could not escape the comments of "repeated villains", but he could be considered a lost way and would not implicate the clan. Thinking about it this way, he could explain why he was not on the list of traitors.

But is Ruan Dacheng from the East Palace?

Hong Chengchou hesitated and asked, "After passing Xuzhou, local prefectures and counties respect the old lady?"

The maid said angrily: "Master, when you come out of your hometown, you have not yet been polite to the old lady!"

Hong Chengchou was choked. If the crown prince was willing to surrender, then the prefecture and county officials would definitely receive an order to receive his mother happily.

If the crown prince does not intend to surrender, it will be a plan of separation.

After falling back to the result that he didn't want to see most, Hong Chengchou suddenly turned dark and he had a breath of waste gas.

——Slowly! This is not just a plan of discord! It is also a killing of people with a knife!

Hong Chengchou's heart tightened, and a thunderous lightning flashed through his mind.

The Ming Dynasty let Hong's mother go so easily, which was telling Dorgon that Hong Chengchou was not a real traitor. Otherwise, with the humiliation he brought to the Ming court, how could he allow them to meet with his mother and son? If he protected his mother by his side, it would undoubtedly arouse Dorgon's greater suspicion. If he sent his mother to Beijing... Hong Chengchou instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Isn’t this pushing my mother into the fire pit?

Now so many people know that their mother has come to Baoding, and it is too late to send her back to her hometown.

Hong Chengchou felt a fire in his chest, which made his mouth dry and tongue dry. After a long time, he asked, "Where is the old man and the third master?"

The maid dared not speak out.

Hong Chengchou's father, Hong Qixi, was famous for his scholars and had a wife, married Fu, and had three sons: the eldest son Chengchou, the second son Chengtang died young, and the third son Chengzhen. When he learned that his eldest son had turned against the Qing Dynasty, Hong Qixi was embarrassed and embarrassed and could not afford to get sick.

His younger brother Hong Cheng-chan had no intention of imperial examinations and was obsessed with calligraphy and calligraphy. He was already a calligrapher. When he learned that his elder brother not only turned his back, he also became a senior official of Jiannu and led his troops to fight against the court, he built a "Shuangzhong Temple" in his hometown, which worshipped two loyal heroes during the Anshi Rebellion: Xu Yuan and Zhang Xun.

Xu Yuan's shape is to pinch his sword with his hands and stare at him with anger. Xu Yuan in this Shuangzhong Temple pointed his fingers at the Hong family gate.

Hong Chengcheng also built a ship and lived in the water. It was precisely because he was Hong Chengchou's younger brother, and he was ashamed of heaven and earth and did not dare to wear heaven and earth.

In contrast, Fu's family is boundless for maternal love when he travels all the way to beat him.

Hong Chengchou asked several family members who came from his hometown and finally learned the truth of the matter. He was so sad. Did he really look down on Huang Taiji's Lord of the Life World? Well, although that's true... But the actual situation at that time was that he could no longer return to the Ming Dynasty, and it was not so easy to be a loyal minister...

After this sadness, Hong Chengchou remembered the current situation again. Explosions occurred in Beijing repeatedly, and there was obviously an undercurrent surging in the capital. The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not solve the case. Rather than being incompetent, it was better to say that the bandits were like fish in water among the people. After shaving the hair, the people were mourning and were in the old days. It would definitely be even more difficult to gain a foothold in the pass.

Look at Dorgon, his arrogance and arrogance in his bones. He decided to attack the west and defend the south at the beginning. Even if he found out that he had done something wrong now, he would definitely not want to change his course. If he could not gather more than 200,000 troops, it would be a delusion to open up the canal.

The Han army's muskets and cannons were not as good as the Ming army, and gunpowder could not keep up. The Ming army's muskets could break armor within fifty steps, and it was already very good if their own muskets could reach fifty steps. The Ming army used small cannons, which were only three or five hundred kilograms per cannon, and ten people were enough to take care of them. The red-clothed general cannons were often over thousands of kilograms, and it was difficult to carry them. Not to mention that they fired a shot, and more than ten shells had been fired on the opposite side.

As for the Manchu soldiers, it is even harder to count on. Although they are skillful in bows and horses and are extremely brave, they have to take a detour in front of a square formation like a turtle shell. Once they take a detour, the Ming army's muskets can't stand it, even Bayala wearing triple armor can't stand it. Moreover, Bayala is not only a strong person, but more importantly, they are veterans and have rich experience in the battlefield. Before the younger generation grew up, one less died, and it is definitely not a cannon fodder consumed by rushing into the formation.

Hong Chengchou felt even more helpless when he thought of cannon fodder. The strong men brought in now were more cunning than the other. Even if there was a supervisory team behind him, they should roll in front of the formation. When the whistle sounded from the Ming army, these strong men had already fallen to the ground, and would rather be beheaded than move forward.

If there were fewer Manchu soldiers and these strong men even dared to turn against each other, Suo Hai would almost be cheated by these people.

Hong Chengchou suddenly felt that God was playing a cruel joke with him. When he was the commander of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army was such a mob. He threw himself to the opposite side, and the Qing army also became such a mob. Is this God's will?
