This is just the tip of the iceberg when Hong Chengchou was persuading the Ming ministers to surrender. In fact, Hong Chengchou became much thicker later.

The young hero Xia Wanchun was captured after failing to resist the Qing Dynasty. Hong Chengchou persuaded surrender: "Young brother, you are too young, how can you rebel? Don't listen to the slander of the thieves and surrender quickly to serve my Qing Dynasty."

Xia Wanchun deliberately pretended not to know that the person being interrogated was Hong Chengchou, and said he wanted to learn from Hong Chengchou, and replied loudly: "I heard that Mr. Hengjiu's dynasty was a hero in the battle of Songshan and Xingshan, and blood was splattered in Zhangqu. The previous emperor was shocked and praised and moved the Chinese and foreigners. I always admired his loyalty and wise men. Even though I was young, I would kill myself to serve the country, so how could I let it go!"

When people around him told Xia Wanchun that Hong Chengchou was opposite him, Xia Wanchun said contemptuously: "Mr. Hengjiu has been dead for a long time, and everyone in the world has heard of it. He once sacrificed to seven altars. The emperor came in person, and his tears filled the dragon's face and the ministers were sobbing. How dare you, you, betray your name, betray your loyalty and soul!"

But Hong Chengchou struggled endlessly on the road to being slapped in the face.

Yin Zhilu, the clan of the Ming Dynasty, was arrested. When Hong Chengchou interrogated him, he asked: "What a great official did you work in the Ming Dynasty to do this kind of treason?"

Yin Zhilu asked back, "What a great official did you work as a treason in the Ming Dynasty to do this kind of rebellion?" Hong Chengchou was slapped in the face.

Jin Sheng's fellow disciple Jiang Tian fought against the Qing Dynasty. He was defeated and captured and was taken to Nanjing. When he saw Hong Chengchou who was interrogating him, he asked loudly: "Do you know me?"

"Why didn't I know you Jin Sheng?" Hong Chengchou asked back: "Do you know me?"

Jin Sheng replied, "I don't know you."

Hong Chengchou said: "I am Hong Chengchou."

Jin Sheng shouted loudly: "Hong Chengchou resisted the death of the enemy, and the emperor cried and paid tribute. He is my loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. Who are you? You dare to pretend to be him!" Hong Chengchou was slapped in the face again.

When Hong Chengchou was poor, Shen Baiwu sponsored him to continue his schooling, and Hong Chengchou called him his uncle. Later, the Qing army went south and Shen Baiwu was captured. When Hong Chengchou found out, he went to visit him and hoped that he would surrender. Shen Baiwu said, "I'm blind, who are you?"

Hong Chengchou replied: "My nephew is Hong Chengchou. Have you forgotten?"

Shen Baiwu was particularly angry and cursed: "Hong Gong has long died of martyrdom for the country. What are you? Are you trying to trap me injustice?" Hong Chengchou, who was extremely shameless, was slapped in the face again.

Such a person should be killed as soon as possible. But Zhu Cilang was so unexpected. Not only did he continue to reuse Hong Chengchou as the governor of Ji Liao. Even Wu Sangui was still the general of Shanhai in the Liaodong Army.

Because Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui and others are very useful, it has to be said that Hong Chengchou's strategic level is very high. And Wu Sangui Zu Dashou and others, these people were really fierce when they fought.

The failure of the Songjin Battle cannot be blamed on these generals. Instead, there was a problem with the internal system of the Ming Dynasty.

The ministers were still good ministers. Even though they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty later, in Zhu Cixuan's opinion, they were still considered useful talents.

In fact, just as Zhu Cixuan thought. Liaodong, which Hong Chengchou and his friends are guarding, can be said to be as solid as a god.

Even last month, a letter from the Liaodong border came from a letter that Hong Chengchou and his friends actually left Jinzhou City and launched an active attack on the Qing Dynasty.

This incident caused extreme horror among the Qing Dynasty. Dorgon, who had just become the regent, convened a meeting overnight to discuss how to deal with the now aggressive Ming army.

But after discussing, there was no final result. Dorgon and the others knew that although these Guanning cavalry were powerful, they were still a little worse than the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty.

If one fight was done with real swords and guns, the three Liaodong cavalry might not be the opponent of a Qing cavalry.

The man with skilled bow and horse skills are superb in riding and shooting skills. These are all trained by them since childhood. What flows in their blood is the blood of the hunting nation.

But the Ming army was not good. Although their Guanning Iron Cavalry had some skills, they really wanted to fight decisively outside the city, the Qing soldiers would not be afraid of them at all.

But why were Dorgon and others so frightened? It was because the Guanning Iron Cavalry had already replaced the cannons at this time. The weapons in their hands were no longer swords, guns, swords and arrows. Instead, the terrifying flintlock rifle.

Artifacts like the Flintlock Spear were simply nightmares for the Qing Dynasty. For example, these Qing soldiers were the opponents of this artifact.

Dorgon also tried a lot to get the spoils of several flintlock rifles. They paid a huge price to seize these flintlock rifles from the Ming army.

There is no other purpose, just to imitate it. Since you, the Ming Dynasty, have such a magical weapon, we, the Qing Dynasty, must not be vague.

Your Ming Dynasty only relies on the sharpness of firearms. When our Qing Dynasty also has firearms, who is afraid of whom?

However, things were far beyond the expectations of the Qing people. Since Huang Taiji was alive, the Qing Dynasty has paid great attention to the development of firearms. Even the cannons made by the Qing Dynasty once exceeded the cast iron cannons of the Ming Dynasty.

However, facing the exquisite weapons of the flintlock rifle, the firearm experts from the Qing Dynasty were all stunned.

These so-called firearm experts are all traitors and traitors who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. The parts of flintlock guns and firearms, and these exquisite small parts, could not be imitated by the Qing Dynasty.

Even if they can be made, their gunpowder formula is far different. The Ming army's gunpowder is finely made, and the gunpowder particles are even and powerful.

The firearm experts in the Qing Dynasty once tried to shoot the captured flintlock rifle, which was as powerful as thunder and lightning. After seeing it, everyone was frightened. This was simply a magic weapon outside the sky. With the technical level of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with it in another hundred years.

The Ming army in Liaodong now has almost everyone with a flintlock rifle. How can we fight such a battle? It is no wonder that Hong Chengchou dared to dare to send Guanning cavalry to counterattack the Qing Dynasty.

You should know that the Ming army had only defended the situation in Huangtaiji. Even though Huangtaiji suffered several great losses in Zhu Cilang, the Ming army was still unable to take the initiative.

It’s different now. The feng shui has been changing for 30 years, Hedong has been in the east and 30 years. The Liaodong Army has dared to take the initiative to fight back.

It was because of the impoverishedness of the Liaodong border that Zhu Cilang dared to take Emperor Chongzhen on a tour in a conspicuous manner to see with his own eyes what kind of life the people of the Ming Dynasty could live.

The gains from this journey shocked Emperor Chongzhen. Especially when he saw those low thatched huts, the people in tattered clothes, and the rough food he ate.

This is far from enough. What Emperor Chongzhen saw was the lives of the people after the food reform. What Zhu Cilang had to do was to take his father, Emperor Chongzhen to Xiongxian and truly see the crux of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were many places that needed reform, including light taxes and levies, canceling generous treatment from all the gentry, and liberalizing the maritime ban and opening up trade. In addition, the top priority is to manage corruption.
