Chapter 358: Zheng Chenggong Faces Saint
This rhythm is unusual. Novel.
Zhang Dingguo felt a little strange.
Although it is often very peaceful before the war, it is too peaceful, right?
Could it be that all the Qing army can do the trick of flying and escaping the earth?
Moreover, the adoptive father had not contacted him for several consecutive days.
Even if nothing big happened to Huaiqing, this shouldn't be.
According to their previous agreement, contact us must be at least once every two days.
Zhang Dingguo sent someone to ask Zhang Nengqi, who was also stationed in Daba Mountains, and the reply he received was that he had not received any news from Huaiqing.
Now Zhang Dingguo can't sit still.
There must be a monster when things happen, let alone such a monster thing.
Zhang Dingguo decided to lead 10,000 people to Huaiqing in person, while the rest continued to stay.
Zhang Nengqi shouldn't cause any big mess
Zhang Kewang's breakthrough was very successful.
The Qing army focused all their attention on the North City, and the defenses for the South City were very thin.
Suddenly the city gate opened wide, and thousands of flying cavalry rushed out of the Qing army and did not react at all.
When they realized something, it was too late, so they could only watch Zhang Kewang lead his own people to escape from the sky.
Hong Chengchou was furious when he learned the news.
Zhang Kewang is a very prestigious person in the Western Army camp. Letting him escape like this is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain.
But now that the situation is complete, it doesn’t make sense to hold people accountable. It’s better to take the opportunity to take down Baoning City as soon as possible.
Zhang Kewang's escape at this time shows that Zhang Xianzhong is either dead or seriously injured. Now there must be a group of dragons in Baoning City without a head.
"I will pass on the order of the general to open the city gate, and no matter the military and civilians in the city, there will be no one left in the city!"
The Qing army encountered fierce resistance during the attack on Huaiqing. According to the Qing army's policies, it would definitely carry out a cruel massacre after breaking the city.
This is used to shock those who want to resist and minimize resistance during the next siege.
As for the ordinary people in Huaiqing City, although they are a little pitiful, they are not worth jealous of death.
If you don’t control the troops, you will be worried about anything you encounter. How can you lead the troops to fight if you shrink your head and tail?
Of course, these people themselves have no faults. If one thing must be found, it is that they are born in Huaiqing.
The resistance of the Western Army led to the Qing army having to kill people to establish their authority, and these people were victims.
Kill, if you kill a group of people, you will be at ease. They will strive to become the obedient people of the Qing Dynasty and will never resist again.
This is exactly what Hong Chengchou wants to see.
Since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, it has encountered varying degrees of resistance in various parts of the north.
Although these storms were finally put down, they still caused considerable shock to the Qing court.
Dorgon once asked Hong Chengchou how to deal with this endless resistance.
Hong Chengchou's answer is just one word, kill!
The person who killed was brave, and the person who killed knelt down and begged for mercy.
Dorgon adopted Hong Chengchou's suggestion, which led to the unstoppable storm of the Qing army in Shanxi and Shaanxi.
Whenever a city arrives, someone will rush to open the city gate to welcome the Qing army into the city.
Now that the Qing army is going to capture Sichuan, Hong Chengchou becomes the commander, this strategy naturally cannot be changed.
Amid the sound of fighting, the Qing army had opened the city gate and poured in like a tide.
It won't take long to come this city belongs to the Qing Dynasty.
It won’t take long to Chengdu will fall into the hands of the Qing Dynasty, followed by Chongqing and the entire Sichuan.
After taking over Sichuan, the Qing army could directly descend along the river to attack Huguang.
This is Hong Chengchou's real purpose.
Capture Huguang and open the granary!
Arrive in Nanjing!
Zheng Chenggong sighed deeply.
He looked up at the city tower and felt like he was a different life.
When he left Nanjing, he was still full of energy, but now he was disheartened. Such a big change took place in just over half a year, of course, thanks to his father Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but laugh at himself. Others were all their sons cheating on their fathers, but he caught up with his father cheating on his sons.
Now his father has been confirmed to have an affair with the Eastern Captains and has stood opposite to the court.
After a difficult struggle and fierce ideological struggle, Zheng Chenggong decided to jointly submit a memorial with Zhang Kentang, the governor of Denglai, to impeach his father.
As soon as this sutra came out, it not only caused an uproar in the government and the country, but also caused an uproar in the Denglai Naval Army.
It is hard for them to imagine that the father of the little marquis who fought side by side with them on weekdays would be a traitor who secretly communicated with the East and surrendered to the enemy and treason.
Of course they were also moved.
The little marquis was able to destroy his relatives for justice and personally impeached Zheng Zhilong.
He made the right choice between home and country, between loyalty and filial piety.
But Zheng Chenggong himself felt it was difficult to deal with himself in the Denglai Navy again.
He always felt that his eyes were staring at him, making him feel breathless.
So he decided to leave and go to Nanjing in person to apologize to the emperor.
The father shall repay the son’s debts and the son shall repay the crimes committed by the father.
Of course, Zheng Chenggong knew that such a thing happened, his father could not be pardoned. But he still wanted to preserve the Zheng family to the greatest extent through his own efforts.
The mistake is more of the fault of the father alone, not the fault of the Zheng family.
If you have to punish him, punish his father.
The emperor is Zheng Chenggong's mentor, and Zheng Chenggong believes that the emperor's wise and wise nature will definitely make the most reasonable decision.
After arriving in Nanjing, Zheng Chenggong did not go directly to the Imperial Ming Military Academy.
If such a thing happened, it was really difficult for him to face his former classmates and friends.
He went directly to the imperial city to ask for the meeting of the saint.
After learning about Zheng Chenggong's identity, the guards of the Imperial City immediately went to report.
Soon, news came that the emperor summoned Zheng Chenggong to the palace to meet him.
Zheng Chenggong took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then followed the eunuch into the palace to meet him.
The distance from the imperial city to the palace city, from the outer palace to the inner palace is very long, but Zheng Chenggong can remember every step clearly.
He was in a very heavy mood as he passed by what he wanted to say when he met the Saint again and again.
In a trance, he had forgotten the time.
Until the eunuch said in an extremely gentle voice: "Little Marquis, I'm here. Your Majesty is not in a good mood, so be careful."
Zheng Chenggong hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your reminder."
He flapped his robe and took a deep breath, and walked towards the platform of the Qianqing Palace.
He walked up the steps very steadily, and he felt relieved when he entered the hall.
After entering the warm pavilion, Zheng Chenggong knelt down at Zhu Ci, who was wearing four dragon casual clothes, and performed the manners.
"The criminal Zheng Chenggong pays homage to His Majesty."
He thought the emperor would be furious, but who would have thought that the emperor would come to him and help him up in person.
"What's your fault for your dear?"
