The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 150 The Embarrassing Chief Soldier of Ming Dynasty
When Hong Chengfan sat down and held his teacup, his pale face eased.

Although he has led troops to fight for many years, he has never been so close to death as before.Although he now understood that the other party didn't want to really kill him, but just gave him a blow, he still felt a deep fear.

He longed for meritorious service, longed for power, and longed for the feeling of strategizing.But at that moment just now, all this almost left him forever.

"Hong Zongbing, I was shocked just now, please drink tea." The man in white on the opposite side smiled heartily at him, and raised his teacup as a signal.

Hong Chengchou looked at the rough white porcelain teacup in his hand and the yellow tea in the cup, which was obviously incomparable with the blue and white porcelain tea set from the official kiln he used to, let alone the West Lake Longjing tea set he was used to drinking. It is the cheapest tea that is sold to the coolies in the tea sheds on the street. It costs two cents for a big bowl, but he has always been able to bear it, and he has no choice but to hold back and take a sip before hastily putting it down.

In fact, when Jiang Chuan heard that Hong Chengchou was sent by Yuan Chonghuan, he had the idea of ​​giving him a blow.

Hong Chengchou was a controversial figure in the original history. He was originally a minister of the Ming Dynasty. After Yuan Chonghuan died, he presided over the Liaodong War and became the governor of Jiliao.

Later, he was captured by the Qing army after the defeat in the Battle of Songjin, and finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after Huang Taiji persuaded him to surrender.

In all honesty, regardless of integrity, this guy is indeed capable.When he was in the customs, he was the governor of the three sides, and he led people to chase Li Zicheng around.Later, I went to Liaodong to fight against the Qing army, and the Qing army almost couldn't stand it.If it hadn't been for the Qing army's sneak attack on the Ming army's grain depot hidden in Bijia Mountain, the situation in Liaodong might really have to be rewritten.

Perhaps there would be no subsequent entry of the Qing Dynasty, and Daming would be able to linger on for a while.

After being captured, at first he kept saying he wanted to be a loyal minister and martyr of Ming Dynasty, but Huang Taiji kept sending people to persuade him to surrender, but he remained indifferent.

But then it was Huang Taiji's Concubine Zhuang, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang who was admired by many Qing fans in later generations. After being sent by Huang Taiji to persuade her to surrender, she came back and said: "This person's integrity is just pretending, and it won't take long. Surrender to my Qing Dynasty."

Sure enough, within a few days, Hong Chengfan surrendered to the Qing Dynasty willingly, and he was not tortured. It was because he "figured it out" himself that he didn't want to be a loyal minister and martyr for the Ming Dynasty.

Where did Concubine Zhuang come from for her words, but it was because when she went in to persuade her to surrender, she happened to see some soil falling from the beams and landed on Hong Chengchou's clothes.But Hong Chengchou hurriedly patted off the soil with his hands.

Concubine Zhuang's analysis is that a person who keeps clamoring to dedicate himself to Daming can still cherish his clothes and image so much. Obviously this is a person who likes to enjoy himself, and this kind of person generally cherishes his life. As a cover for shame.

Later events of course proved that Concubine Zhuang's judgment was correct.Hong Chengchou is indeed a person who knows how to enjoy himself, and since then he has been loyal and dedicated to the master of the Qing Dynasty.

It's a pity that the Qing Dynasty he was loyal to did not regard him as a loyal minister. Later, during Qianlong's reign, someone compiled a book "The Biography of Second Officials", which included all the records that were first served in Ming Dynasty like Hong Chengchou, and then given to Qing Dynasty. Hardworking Hanchen.And because of Hong Chengchou's outstanding contributions to the Qing Dynasty, he also topped the list of second ministers.

I don't know if this guy regretted his choice back then after he found out about it underground.

Therefore, seeing this famous traitor in history sitting across from him in this time and space, Jiang Chuan suddenly felt absurd.

He was thinking, if he hadn't been born to intervene in this world, would history repeat itself, and would Hong Chengchou be a traitor again.

While Jiang Chuan was looking at Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengfan also began to observe the leader of the "horse thief".

He did not expect that this "thief leader" who broke the siege of Datong, attacked Liaoyang by surprise, and let the 20 Tartar army return home was so young, he looked only about [-] years old, and he had handsome features and extraordinary demeanor. It looks more like a handsome scholar, not as rude and fierce as I originally imagined.

But when he thought of the arrow that almost killed him just now, Hong Chengfan felt a little scared.

It's true that people can't be judged by appearances, and the ancients never deceived me.Hong Chengfan sighed in his heart.

Jiang Chuan put down his teacup suddenly, and said with a slight smile, "General Hong is famous, I've heard of it a long time ago."

Hong Chengchou was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that even a leader of the "horse thief" knew his name outside the pass. He couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said modestly: "Chief Jiang is too famous. It's just a false name. It all depends on Yuan Dushi's support and love."

Jiang Chuan chuckled, and when he heard this man calling himself the leader, he knew that the Ming army still regarded him as a horse thief.Even if he repeatedly deflated the Tartars, in the eyes of the Ming army, he was nothing more than a horse thief with stronger fighting power, and he felt a little unhappy.

"Mr. Hong, don't underestimate yourself. I am not the only one who knows your name. It can be said that everyone in the world knows it. Even hundreds of years later, people in later generations often still say your name. You are better than that." The Governor Yuan is very famous." Jiang Chuan chuckled, and seemed to be praising Hong Chengchou in his words, but Hong Chengchou's ears felt a bit awkward, and he felt that there was a sense of sarcasm in his words.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Jiang Chuan was talking about his notoriety in the original history, so he naturally couldn't understand.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Jiang Chuan asked with a faint smile, "I don't know why Hong Zongbing came to see me this time, what's your business?"

Hong Chengfan breathed a sigh of relief when he finally brought up the matter, straightened his body and smiled reservedly: "I am here this time under the order of Yuan Chonghuan, a college student of Hongwenge, who is the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the supervisor Yuan Chonghuan. The leader stopped the Tazi artillery team last time, and he came here after breaking the siege of Datong."

When Hong Chengchou said this, he stopped, looked at Jiang Chuan reservedly, and hoped that this man could respond to him with some exciting miracles, so that he could say the following words.

However, the reaction of the person in front of him was extremely dull, he just let out a faint "oh", then picked up the teacup and took a sip before he said slowly: "It turns out that Governor Yuan also knew that it was my credit? Do you know how many gifts Mr. Hong brought to thank me this time? Is it 100 shi of food, or [-] million taels of military expenses? Our army has consumed countless food and salaries in the past few battles against the Tartars. If Governor Yuan If you can understand me, then I am really grateful.”

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he glanced at Hong Chengfan, but saw Hong Chengchou's face flushed with embarrassment.

He came here with Yuan Chonghuan's autographed letter, which can be regarded as a letter of appointment. Where is there any food and military pay?

The scene suddenly fell into embarrassment.

　The second one arrives.Today I don't know how many chapters I can add, anyway, three chapters must be the most basic.Maybe five chapters, seven chapters are possible.
