Chapter 282 Seeing Death as Returning to Hong Chengchou
It's him!
That’s right!
It was Dorgon who set the fire!
It was him who was framed by Dorgon!
Why did Dorgon do this! Just to get rid of himself. Dorgon must know that he is Donglu’s innermost enemy!
Yeah yeah!
Because of this, Dorgon must have known that once he defeated Prince De, he would definitely send his troops northward, and by then he would definitely be able to pacify Liaodong.
And because he, Dorgon, understood this, he tried every possible means to frame him.
Your Majesty!
I, I am wronged!
I, I have finally found the real culprit. The real culprit who burned the sacred forest is Dorgon!
Dorgon couldn't help but wonder, when Hong Chengchou, who was filled with anger, stared at him so hard, he was a little confused. Why did Hong Chengchou hate him so much?
Even if you become your own prisoner, it won't be like this. After all, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. They are not enemies of life and death.
"Quickly, untie Inspector Hong. Hurry up, you little slave, how can you tie them up so tightly..."
As soon as Dorgon finished speaking, Hong Chengchou shouted sharply.
"Dorgon, why are you so hypocritically showing favor to me? You have achieved your goal today, why don't you kill me quickly!"
"The goal has been achieved? What does the supervisor mean by this?"
Dorgon was really confused. Could it be that the news he had received earlier was false? The reason why the Ming Dynasty emperor asked him to return to the capital was to let him pursue him? He wanted him to march into the Qing Dynasty while the Qing Dynasty's vitality was severely weakened.
?
How likely is this?
Probably not possible.
"Hmph, you, Dorgon, have betrayed your trust. You and I swore by high-fiving not to hurt any of my people when we retreated north. You broke your oath first and killed my people without saying a word. You also sent troops to burn my sacred forest and trapped someone in the flood.
In a land of injustice, Dorgon, you are such a cunning thief. You want to use the burning of the sacred forest to make your majesty punish me. But the holy emperor is here, how can you be deceived by you? You are not willing to fail, and you send people to plunder me.
, I fell into your hands today, I will kill you if you want, no need to say more!"
Everything was imagined by Hong Chengchou. He had always believed that he had the power to save the world. He believed that Dorgon had planned all of this to get rid of him with His Majesty's help. He was so cruel!
I actually swore an oath with him. I really don't know people well. Alas! I regret it.
"Haha, Governor Hong, Governor Hong, why should I kill you!"
Dorgon, who was slapped with these labels, did not defend himself. He stared at the angry Hong Chengchou. He didn't know what was going on at first. Now he understood the reason and suddenly laughed loudly, and then
He cursed at Doron.
"Duolong, you bitch slave, didn't I give you an order? Governor Hong is my distinguished guest, so I asked you to invite him here. You dog slave actually dares to hurt Governor Hong. Come on, I will be severely punished."
50 military sticks!”
"Master, slave, slave..."
Doron, who came back from robbing someone and was beaten with a military stick in the end, was dumbfounded. Something was wrong. His master should give him a heavy reward now.
How did it become a military stick?
Before he could cry out for injustice, he looked at his master and was familiar with the Three Kingdoms. He immediately thought of some painful plot. Seemingly realizing something, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Master, this slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die, please punish me, Master!"
"What are you still doing? Pull him down and torture him!"
This dog slave knows how to count!
Dorgon was thinking this in his heart, but smiled at Hong Chengchou.
"Director Hong, slaves don't care about their importance, so don't hold grudges! It's all because I didn't make it clear!"
The reason why Dorgon was so polite was for no other reason than Hong Chengchou was a talent!
In the past few years, Dorgon often read the Chronicles of Taizong of the Jin Dynasty. This Taizong was the second emperor of the Jin Dynasty. His real name was Wanyan Wu Qingmai, and his Chinese name was changed to Wanyan Ang. He played a significant role in expanding the martial arts and territory of the Jin Dynasty.
Role. During his reign, he destroyed the Liao Kingdom, surrendered to Xixia and Goryeo, occupied the Central Plains, captured Emperors Hui and Qin of the Northern Song Dynasty, and once went to Hangzhou, forcing the emperor to call him son-emperor and pay tribute to the emperor.
Tai Ji once ordered people to translate the "Benji of Taizong" in "History of Jin" into Manchu for him to read.
Dorgon was also a Zhanguang student, and even talked to Huang Taiji. It is not difficult to establish Taizong's career. The key is to be good at using talents. Hong Chengchou is a rare talent among the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. If Hong Chengchou can change his mind,
, if it is used by him, it will definitely help you achieve great things!
Thinking this in his heart, Dorgon even felt that Hong Chengchou was simply a talent given to him by God!
The emperor has Han officials like Fan Wencheng to advise him. Although there are many Han officials around him, there are not many who can compare with Fan Wencheng. No, God sent Hong Chengchou here! This Hong Chengchou
How can he be compared to Fan Wencheng!
I have to take such talents for my use! I can’t let God down!
"Hmph! Dorgon, you don't need to say more!"
Hong Chengchou knew that the opponent was going to surrender him, so he punched in the direction of the capital and said.
"We have been accustomed to the word loyalty and righteousness since we received the letter. As a minister of the imperial court, unfortunately, we fell into the hands of the enemy. We have done our best for the country, which is our rightful duty. Moreover, the emperor has known me well and is very kind, so we should treat him with kindness."
There is no reason to hesitate to die to repay the king. Don’t say any more, Hong will definitely not surrender. If you want to kill him, he will kill you. There is no need to say more!"
After saying these words, Hong Chengchou closed his eyes. He seemed to be righteous and awe-inspiring. However, his mind did not stop moving for a moment, and his mood was like a wave, with various thoughts flashing through him.
He was very emotional and wanted to show his loyalty with blood like Prime Minister Wen, and wanted to sacrifice his life generously. But he also thought about his family, his mother, wife, children and other relatives from time to time. Of course, he also thought about the "behave as a son" that his mother taught him when he was young.
The principles of "filial piety" and "loyalty to ministers".
If his son is unfilial, he can only be loyal to the country. Hong Chengchou thought this silently in his heart.
But what was particularly strange was that on the way to Dorgon's camp, although he had countless thoughts of generous sacrifice, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. Such distracting thoughts and the thought of generous sacrifice were struggling in his heart.
With.
Of course, on the way, he also thought of another possibility.
Even Dorgon may not necessarily kill him, but he has already decided in his heart: after arriving in Shenyang, if he is brought to the fourth prince of the captives, that is, Huang Taiji, he will not bend the knee or surrender, but will also fight against the captives.
The chieftain cursed loudly and just wanted to die quickly.
He even imagined that the captive chief might be angered by his insults, and like An Lushan did to Zhang Xun, knock out his teeth, cut off his tongue, and then kill him. In that case, he would sacrifice his life heroically and live up to the world.
Received the favor of the country, he is deeply recognized by his superiors. By then, his name of loyalty and martyrdom will surely spread throughout the country, and of course, he will also be remembered in history.
However, he also thought that maybe the captor chief would not kill him immediately or force him to surrender immediately, but instead, like the Mongols did to Prime Minister Wen, temporarily detain him and wait for a long time before killing him. If so, he would
You must always have the determination to serve your country with your own life. Every time you look up and salute to the south, it shows that you are a minister of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, after expressing his wish to die, Hong Chengchou closed his eyes and prayed for death, and sighed in his heart:
"It's a pity that I can't tell His Majesty the truth and clear up His Majesty's misunderstanding of me. I just die bearing the blame. I... really can't accept it!"
yes!
I am different from Zhang Xun and the others. They were defeated and captured, but I am really waiting for a crime. Even though I died for the emperor, for the court, and for the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of outsiders, I am still a criminal.
ah.
Your Majesty, I am not afraid of death, I am just unwilling to do so!
Hey, who can understand the difficulties in my heart?
You are as loyal as me, but you ended up like this.
Why!
The sky has no eyes!
Just when Hong Chengchou was in confusion, he only heard Dorgon laughing loudly.
"What a good Governor Hong. He can treat death like this. He has indeed lived up to the imperial court and the country! But why did I kill you! I finally exhausted all my agencies before I invited you Governor Hong here. If I kill you, what will happen to you?"
Why is this necessary?”
Dorgon's words made Hong Chengchou's mind sink, but his mood became calmer. He had only one thought: "I am a minister of the Celestial Dynasty. I am deeply informed by the emperor. I will not humiliate the country or my body despite all kinds of coercion and inducement by the barbarians!"
Since Dorgon refuses to kill him now, he will definitely try to persuade him to surrender and give him good gifts. Of course, he also knows that since ancient times, it is easy to die generously, but it is difficult to die calmly, so the faster the death, the better, the faster,
The less likely he would be shaken. So he had to hurry up and fulfill his duties for the country. He had already thought about it on the way. Faced with this situation, he had to take three countermeasures: one was to curse, the other was to ignore it, and the third was to go on a hunger strike.
"No matter how you use coercion and inducement, don't expect me, Hong, to bend my knees!"
Hong Chengchou was thinking this in his mind, so he opened his eyes, stared at Dorgon and yelled angrily.
"Dorgon, you slave..."
Before Hong Chengchou could curse, Dorgon laughed loudly.
"Hong Chengchou, do you want to provoke me like this and force me to kill you?"
Staring at Hong Chengchou, how could Dorgon not know what he was thinking? He just wanted to anger himself and kill him.
He wanted to die with all his heart.
How could we let him die? He is my future military advisor.
Dorgon's gaze made Hong Chengchou feel a little guilty. He knew what he was thinking.
Just know it if you know it. I can't deceive anyone by doing this, but it's just to anger him and make him kill me.
Anyway, it’s me, Hong Chengchou, who has made up his mind to die for the Ming Dynasty.
Your Majesty, I’m leaving right now! It’s a pity that I’m carrying an unjust name. Your Majesty!
Just as Hong Chengchou was sighing in his heart, he only heard Dorgon laughing from the side.
"Do you think you can be a loyal minister if you don't surrender to me? Do you think you can live up to your death and live up to the imperial court and the country? I tell you, Hong Chengchou, it's not you who can't surrender or you can't surrender, it's me who can't save you.
Chapter completed!
