This is a rare sunny day in winter. In a wilderness in the north of Haizhou, several barks of wild dogs can be heard from a very dilapidated village. At the north and south ends of the wilderness, you can see groups of mighty dogs.

His army numbered tens of thousands.

Hong Chengchou, who was riding on his horse, walked towards the middle of the two armies. His eyes turned to the opposite side, where a Donglu general wearing a white helmet walked towards the center.

At this time, Hong Chengchou's mood seemed very heavy. From the moment he received the letter, his mood seemed extremely heavy. Just a few hundred words pointed directly at what he was most worried about in his heart. This is why he came as promised.

, the reason for meeting Dorgon.

Finally, the two men stopped their horses at the same time about a few feet apart.

"Xiao Wang has met Governor Hong!"

Facing Dorgon's salute, Hong Chengchou just saluted casually and did not refute his claim.

"Dorgon, why did you ask Hong to meet here?"

Hong Chengchou asked pretending to be calm.

"Supervisor Hong, Xiao Wang has taken the liberty to invite you here because he has a few questions for Supervisor!"

"you say!"

"Does the Governor know that Zhu Ciying established herself as the Grand Governor in Nanjing?"

"Does the Superintendent know that Yangzhou was also captured by him?"

"Does the Superintendent know that all the tens of thousands of troops under Supervisor Shi's command have defected to Zhu Ciying?"

"Does the Superintendent know that Zhu Ciying went north to fight against the captives, but actually she had other intentions..."

After asking these questions like a barrage of questions, Dorgon looked at Hong Chengchou and smiled without saying a word.

Even if Dorgon didn't need to remind him, Hong Chengchou also knew what Zhu Ciying had done. He killed his ministers and seized Nanjing, and threatened the commander-in-chief to seize military power. He claimed to be serving the country, but in fact he was not a minister. The so-called "going north to fight against the captives" was actually just a

It's just a name. There is no difference at all from "Qing Jun's side, Jingguo is in trouble", it's just that the name is different. Everything is just to deceive others.

"When we go north, it will be the day Zhu Ciying conspires to rebel!"

Once again, the conclusion of yesterday's secret discussion with his cronies about the Nanjing incident came to Hong Chengchou's mind. The Ming Dynasty was really in trouble right now!

"Supervisor Hong, now you and I can fight here. I will use an army of 30,000 to attack Supervisor's 100,000 elite troops. Although the outcome is 50-50, Xiao Wang dare not say that he will win, but at least he can fight his way out."

It’s a bloody road to lead the troops back to the Qing Dynasty, but by then, how many casualties will there be among the elite commanders under the command of the commander? Moreover, while you and I are fighting, if someone sends an army north to take the capital directly, then the commander will really be mistaken.

A minister of the country!"

He can point directly at Liaodong, why can't he point directly at the capital!

What if the entire army is invited to hunt the Eastern captives in Haizhou, but it is just a cover-up?

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou felt chills from head to toe. Faced with Dorgon's "alarmism", Hong Chengchou's heart was cast by a thick shadow.

If Prince De plots to rebel and seize the capital, Hong Chengchou will use all his 100,000 elite troops to attack the Eastern captives. Wouldn’t it be true that Prince De’s plot is falling into the trap!

Prince De, what a good plan!

Such a vicious heart is rare in the world!

Hong Chengchou, who was extremely scheming, ignored Dorgon's question and shouted at him.

"Dorgon, what's the purpose of being so alarmist!"

"I won't hide the truth from the Superintendent. I invited the Superintendent here today for no other reason than to seek a way out from the Superintendent!"

Dorgon said directly.

"Please find a way?"

"Yes, the way back to Qing Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Chengchou immediately understood the other party's intention, so he sneered several times in succession, and then said.

"Why should I let your entire army return?"

It turns out that this is Dorgon’s purpose!

He didn't want to fight with himself. If he was willing to withdraw from the customs, it would be a good idea. At least he could have free hands to deal with Prince De!

"The Superintendent misunderstood and not only allowed me to return with my whole division, but also asked me to take the proceeds from this entry back to the Qing Dynasty!"

The moment Dorgon spoke, Hong Chengchou shouted loudly.

"Dorgon, if I let you take the plundering people out of the customs, how can I live up to your majesty's trust?"

Although Hong Chengchou did not have much resistance to letting Dorgon leave, after all, the more important thing now was to prevent Zhu Ciying from plotting rebellion, but he did not expect that Dorgon not only wanted the entire army to return, but also wanted to take away the looters

People!

Is there such a good thing in the world?

Hong Chengchou's objection had long been expected by Dorgon. Faced with his objection, Dorgon smiled and said.

"Does the Superintendent know that Zhu Ciying marched straight in from the sea and captured Shengjing? Not only did she kill the entire city, but she also robbed tens of thousands of female relatives in the city. We Manchus are different from the Han, Manchu and Mongolians. The most important hero is a

A person who cannot even save his family is definitely not a hero. The reason why Xiao Wang wants the whole army to return to the Qing Dynasty this time is to be honest..."

Staring at Hong Chengchou, Dorgon expressed his truest thoughts without any concealment.

"Just to compete with my brother for the throne! Back then, when he was outnumbered, the little king lost the throne. As for now, how can the little king miss such a good opportunity!"

If it were anyone else, Dorgon would never have said these words, but Hong Chengchou was different. He was the governor of Jiliao, and he must have a certain understanding of the internal situation of the Qing Dynasty, and even knew the relationship between their brothers.

contradiction,

"oh?"

Staring at Dorgon, Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment and then said.

"If you want to return to the army and seize the throne, Hong will let you go. But the people you robbed are all my subjects of the Ming Dynasty. How can I allow you to leave calmly!"

"If I didn't have the people and money stolen from the Ming Dynasty, how could I bribe Baylor, the banner lord, and get them to support me in seizing the throne!"

Dorgon's unabashed answer made Hong Chengchou fall into deep thought.

Now that Huang Taiji has lost his prestige and vitality, if Dorgon's entire army returns, it is not impossible to win the support of the flag owners and win the throne. And what is certain is that with Huang Taiji's character, he will never sit back and die.

, he will definitely lead the troops to quell the chaos. By then, Jiannu will be plunged into war. From then on, he will no longer be able to invade Ningjin. There is even a possibility that Huang Taiji and Dorgon will fight and lose both sides.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty could naturally reap the benefits. In other words, Hong Chengchou could reap the benefits and regain Liaodong! This is to comfort your majesty and the late emperor!

This is really a huge achievement!

What's more important later is that it can prevent rebellious officials and traitors from usurping the throne here, and contribute to the Ming Dynasty.

But those people, if Dorgon is allowed to leave with the hundreds of thousands of people who were robbed, how will he explain it to the world at that time?

In fact, what kind of explanation is needed?

How many people in this world really care about the common people? Are the common people more important, or is the country and the country more important?

The answer is obvious.

Seeing Hong Chengchou fell into silence, Dorgon knew that he had convinced him.

In fact, it is very easy to convince these people, as long as you understand the pros and cons with them. They will naturally make the choice that is most beneficial to themselves or the country in their hearts.

For Hong Chengchou and others, they consider themselves loyal ministers and have the so-called country and the country in their hearts. To them, Zhu Ciying is simply a rebellious minister and traitor. In comparison, the so-called barbarians and Tartars are not worth mentioning.

In fact, this is the case for the Han people. For the Han people, they have always believed that the biggest threat is themselves, not the barbarians who they look down on at all.

It was precisely because of this that Hong Chengchou allowed himself to leave safely. Because for him, the real threat was Prince De, not the Qing Dynasty. In comparison, the Qing Dynasty was just an itch.

"I can't just let you go, I have to give the world some explanation."

Having already made a decision in his heart, Hong Chengchou looked at Dorgon and said.

"At least I can't let you take everyone away."

They were just some common people. There were more than millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. They took some away and had no impact on the Ming Dynasty.

But after all, I still have to give an explanation to the world, otherwise I don’t know what those censors will say.

Hearing this, Dorgon, who had achieved his goal, laughed and said.
Chapter completed!
