(Thank you for your monthly ticket~~)

Hong Chengchou looked unmoved, but the woman squatted down in front of him, held the thermos, handed it to his mouth, and looked at him with a smile.

"No drink!"

As soon as these two words were expressed, Hong Chengchou's eyes touched the woman's beautiful eyes, which were both contempt and ridiculed, as if they were worshipped, and a ray of almost invisible affection.

For some reason, Hong Chengchou's heart trembled.

"Come on, the great nobles of the Southern Dynasty, drink it, why bother to vomit with a little woman? I'll feed you!"

In Hong Chengchou's incredible gaze, the woman held the thermos, and as her body slowly approached, her arm was raised, and a wisp of ginseng soup poured into her mouth.

Hong Chengchou wanted to vomit, but he couldn't bear to push the woman away. He deceived himself to agree with the woman's persuasion, as if he was about to go to justice, and let the ginseng Tanggugu flow into his throat, swallowed it, and then he turned the stern: "If you see Lao Han, I'll just want to die!"

"That's sir, I should leave!"

The woman suddenly bent down and kissed Hong Chengchou gently on the face like a dragonfly, then blushed and turned around.

Hong Chengchou stared at the Miaomeng back in a daze, and his mind was messy. A beautiful figure had already squeezed in silently!

In the next few days, Lao Han Wang did not see him, and Hong Chengchou gradually developed food and his determination to die gradually faded. The woman often appeared in his heart.

‘Forget it, forgot, since your head is shaved, just be a Manchu!’

Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly and shook his head, making up his mind secretly. Suddenly, his whole body relaxed, and the troubles that had been troubled in the past disappeared, so he looked up at himself in the mirror.

The forehead was smooth and shiny, the temples and cheeks were clean, and the beard was neatly trimmed. From the top of the head, a thin braid hung behind the head, about two feet long, as if it was about ten years younger than before. For a moment, he felt extremely complicated and said to himself: "From this life, he will be a person from another world, and die as a ghost from a foreign land!"

...

The next day, a grand surrender ceremony was held in Shenyang City.

I saw the eight gates beating drums, and then the music of the emperor coming to court came from the Qing Gate. Manchu and Han ministers, Mongolian princes and princes in Shenyang, the two Korean princes and brothers of the Korean prince and the prince accompanied the ministers gathered in front of the Dazheng Hall and saluted Huangtaiji.

In front of the Dazheng Hall, there were only the princes of Man, Meng and the prince of Korea. The great king could take his seat, and the rest stood in two rows. Outside the Qing Gate, Song, headed by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao of the Ming Dynasty, and the surrendered ministers of Jin, were kneeling, including generals Zu Dashou, Dong Xie, Zu Dale, and the dismissed generals Zu Dabi, deputy generals Xia Chengde, Gao Xun, Zu Zeyuan, etc., and bowed their heads to wait for the summons.

A Han official from the Ministry of Rites uttered a loud propaganda to the surrendered ministers: "Hong Chengchou and other civil and military officials came to visit him!"

Hong Chengchou kowtowed and said loudly: "I am the commander of the Ming Dynasty. He has come to Songshan and wants to support Jinzhou. He has fought several times and offended the military power. As soon as the sage arrived, all the soldiers were defeated. I am trapped in Songshan City. The food and grass were cut off. Everyone eats each other. The city was destroyed and was captured. He is divided into death. He is merciful to the emperor and does not kill the ministers, but wants to raise them. Now he is ordered to see him. I know that the crime is serious and dare not enter immediately. Therefore, I will report the crime first, and whether to enter or not, and wait for the order to be seized."

Officials from the Ministry of Rites turned the song in Manchu, and Huang Taiji said a few words in Manchu.

Then the official of the Ministry of Rites whistled an edict: "The emperor issued a letter to you, when you were fighting with our army, you were all your commanders. How could I mind? The reason why I have this is because I defeated the 130,000 troops of the Ming Kingdom in one battle, and got the pine and brocade cities, all of which were God's will.

If the way of heaven is good, it will be in line with the way of heaven. Therefore, I act according to the will of heaven and save your life. I only think of my kindness in raising me, repay my offenses with all my heart, and I will leniently resolve all the offending crimes I have committed in the past. I once caught Zhang Chun in front of the formation and had a good care for him. I am sorry that I can neither serve the Ming Dynasty, nor serve me, and I will accomplish nothing, and die in vain. Don’t be like him!”

Hong Chengchou kowtowed on the ground and said, "Abide by the sages!"

Zu Dashou replied loudly: "My guilty minister Zu Dashou is very serious. My crime is different from Hong Chengchou. I have been killed for several crimes. In previous years, I was besieged by the emperor in Daling River. I ate all the military rations and ate people. I was about to starve to death. I had no choice but to beg the emperor for surrender. I was not killed. I was raised by the emperor and ordered my wife, brothers, and clans to surrender and sent them to Jinzhou. After I arrived in Jinzhou, I not only betray Hongen, but also repeatedly fought against the army. Now I am surrounded in Jinzhou. The food is exhausted and I have no choice but to leave the city to surrender. I am guilty of being severe and should die!"

An official from the Ministry of Rites also passed on the oral remark of Huang Taiji: "Zu Dashou also understands the truth. If you are against me, one is for your lord, and the other is for your wife, the clan. I have long wanted to not kill you. I often told the ministers in the inner court: Zu Dashou must not be killed. Later, when he is besieged, he will still bow down to surrender. As long as he is willing to surrender, I will always stay alive. Now you are too regretful and I will no longer care about it."

Zu Dashou kowtowed and thanked him.

Deputy General Zu Zeyuan also knelt outside the Qing Dynasty Gate and said, "My sinner Zu Zeyuan surrendered to the Emperor. I was also released by the Emperor from the Daling River. My crime was the same as Zu Dashou, so I deserve to die!"

Officials from the Ministry of Rites issued an edict: "Zu Zeyuan's short-sighted eyes. The reason why I did not come to surrender after I let go was because Zu Dashou's horse was the leader. In the past, when I inspected Xingshan, you not only refused to open the door to welcome the surrender, but also deliberately fired firecrackers at me. Wouldn't it be a great blessing? How many people can you hurt by shooting firecrackers? No matter whether Xingshan City is small and there are not many soldiers, Hong Chengchou brought 130,000 people and repeatedly fired firecrackers. How many people were injured?

I have talked about this because I have been so kind. I have seen people who have made mistakes in my daily life and speak clearly without thinking about their old evils. I will pursue them later. Not only do I treat you alone? It is the status of your ancestor who is respected on your birthday, and I will still be kept. Besides, I am a villain, so why do you need to kill you? You are in your prime. From now on, whenever you encounter a battle, you will work hard for me to atone for your previous sins."

Zu Zeyuan and his uncle Zu Dale burst into tears and said in unison: "What the emperor said is extremely true. I wish you a thank you for not killing you, and you will be brave enough to repay you!"

The newly surrendered officials of various civil and military officials bowed to their heads and thanked them. They entered the Qing Gate and performed a ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows in front of Chongzheng Hall. Huangtai Ji summoned Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Zu Dale, Xia Chengde and Zu Dabi into the hall. After kowtowing, they ordered them to sit on the left to give tea.

Huang Taiji asked Hong Chengchou: "I see that you wise rulers have ignored the captive of the royal family. The general led the soldiers to fight to the death, or were captured in front of the battlefield, or were exhausted. If you surrender to our court, you must kill your wife, but you are in a slave. Why is this?"

Hong Chengchou knelt down and said, "There was no such example in the past. Now, because of the many civil officials and the disputes between the censors, they all reported what they saw and heard from the emperor, so this happened."

Huang Taiji said: "Although there are many civil officials in the Ming Dynasty and talk about it all over the place when encountering problems, are there few civil officials in the past? The root cause is that the king and the ministers are now secretly blocking each other, so many people are killed in vain. People like Qing who were captured in the death battle, and those who had to surrender, can they kill their wives and children? Even if they are in the enemy country, they can also redeem them with silver. This is what the court should do. Why do they commit crimes for their wives and children and kill them to be exiled? The Ming Dynasty court acts like this, and it is difficult to count innocent people who are killed in vain."

Hong Cheng kowtowed with tears in his eyes and said, "This emperor's words are truly the most holy and benevolent!"

Zu Dashou and others contributed many treasures. Huang Taiji ordered Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou and others to sit outside the Qing Dynasty gate and read the things they offered. Hong Chengchou was captured because he broke through the siege in a hurry and had nothing to offer, but he knew in his heart that Huang Taiji's purpose was to see the surrender of Zu Dashou and other surrendered generals, and his intention was not on property.

Sure enough, within a moment, an official issued an edict: "I will not accept any of the things offered by Zu Dashou and others, and I will bring them back to you when I see my loyalty."

Zu Dashou and others knelt down and begged repeatedly: "The emperor will not accept anything, and I am really uneasy. I hope you will give me some advice!"

Huangtai was very concerned about his sincerity and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect one or two of them, and all the rest were returned. Then he said: "Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou have surrendered, and the four cities of Songshan, Jinzhou, Xingshan and Tashan belong to our country. Thanks to God and Buddha for their blessings, and they have won another great victory. The Ming Dynasty's government was corrupt and the people were in chaos everywhere. It was difficult to protect the country. The Qing Dynasty's power is growing stronger and stronger, and it is like the sun rising eastward. It is invincible to defeat all the battles. It is blessed by God and Buddha, and the civil and military officials below to do their jobs in a solid manner. It is not difficult for me to rebuild the great cause of Taizong of the Great Jin Dynasty."

"Long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long

Hong Chengchou and other surrendered officials knelt on the ground and shouted long live!

Huang Taiji looked at the sincere Hong Chengchou and nodded repeatedly in his heart, and a cold smile appeared in the corner of his eyes. With the sound of long live, he beat drums and music in front of the Dazheng Hall. Huang Taiji put his robe and stood up to return to the palace. The surrender ceremony ended.
Chapter completed!
