The emperor's comfort calmed down Zheng Chenggong's nervous mood.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Chenggong knew very well that his father was a treason for Tonglu, but judging from the attitude of today's emperor, it seemed that he was not going to kill the Zheng clan.

If the father is held accountable in the end without involving the entire Zheng family, it is probably the best result.

You must know that whenever there is a rebellion, it will be a heinous crime to kill the nine clans.

"Successful, I have always been optimistic about you. I believe you will never do anything to betray the Ming Dynasty. Don't worry, no matter what outsiders say, I will protect you!"

Zhu Cilang said with great enthusiasm, and Zheng Chenggong was moved to tears when he heard this.

No virtue can he be so trusted by the emperor? If such a thing happened to the Zheng family, the emperor still protects him. Zheng Chenggong wished he could be so confused about the emperor at this moment.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. I want to write a few letters from my family to persuade my uncles to return to the future. I would like to ask Your Majesty to be kind."

Seeing Zheng Chenggong say this, Zhu Cilang nodded: "If this is possible, it will naturally be the best. Tell them that as long as they express their attitude, I will never cause a prison to implicate them."

In the original history, Zheng Chenggong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty could basically be regarded as arbitrary action.

The mainstays of the Zheng family are basically opposed.

This is why Zheng Zhilong was immediately taken away to house arrest after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, because the number of troops he could directly control was too small.

The situation in the Ming Dynasty is much better than in history, and the backbone of the Zheng family will not support Zheng Zhilong.

Zhu Cilang was almost certain that Zheng Zhilong secretly sold grain to the Qing Dynasty and hid it from his brothers.

If this is the case, there is still a lot of room for maneuver for the court.

These Zheng family can fight for.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done by the court. It would be great that Zheng Chenggong was willing to persuade his uncle in the form of family letters.

"I will definitely not let Your Majesty down!"

Zheng Chenggong bowed deeply and said word by word.

"I believe in you."

Zhu Cilang nodded slightly and said

Baoning City is already a dead land.

Under the policy of Hong Chengchou's massacre of the city, not only the surrendered Daxi Army soldiers, but also all men, women, young and old were massacred.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, which made people disgusting.

There are corpses piled up like hills at the archways in each market. Qing soldiers walked past the mountain of corpses talking and laughing, and occasionally poured a sip of wine.

The Baoning Prefecture Office was appointed as the temporary headquarters by Hong Chengchou.

In the inner hall, he and Tong Yanghe, Boluo, Shuozhan and others gathered together to discuss the next battle direction.

Although Liu Jinzhong showed courage in the siege, he was ruled out of this important discussion because his status was too low.

Hong Chengchou took a sip of tea and said, "Although the body of the thief has not been found, this governor is almost certain that the thief has been killed. After this battle, the Western Army was seriously injured, and our army is taking advantage of the victory to pursue and expand its advantage."

Hong Chengchou is the commander-in-chief of the operation to seize Sichuan, and his speech is naturally of great significance.

I just said that I had set a tone and the general direction has been put forward. The next step is to discuss some details.

Tong Yanghe cleared his throat and said, "The officials thought that they should concentrate their troops to march southwest and capture Chengdu."

Chengdu is the heart of all Sichuan, and it has extremely strong political significance to seize Chengdu.

What's more, the Qing army was fighting a blitzkrieg, so the benefits must be maximized in the shortest time possible.

Otherwise, if the remnants of the Western Army were breathless and regrouped and launched a large-scale counterattack, it would be hard to say what the situation would become.

Shuo Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you going to fight Chengdu? Didn't Governor Hong say that the purpose of attacking Sichuan is to seize control of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Now we should march towards Fengjie. After taking Fengjie, we will catch Minggou off guard. As long as Huguang gets it, the food problem that the Regent is worried about will be solved."

After Shuo Zhan finished speaking, he looked at Hong Chengchou in a hurry, hoping to get Hong Chengchou's recognition.

But Hong Chengchou kept stroking his beard and did not express his attitude.

What Tong Yanghe and Shuozhan mentioned just now were completely different ideas.

The purpose of the former is to seek stability. After taking over Chengdu, the Qing army's control over Sichuan will be greatly enhanced.

The latter is to hit someone unexpectedly.

The Ming army in Huguang certainly would not think that the Qing army would suddenly come from Fengjie.

Both ideas make sense, the key is to choose and focus.

Hong Chengchou looked at Boluo and said lightly: "What do you think of Mr. Beile?"

No matter how much Dorgon trusts Hong Chengchou, the nominal coach of this time is Boluo.

Hong Chengchou is very conscious of being a slave, so of course he has to ask the master what he meant before making a decision on this kind of thing.

Even if the master just goes through the motions with a few words, he will be a slave who has fulfilled his obligations.

Boluo is the serious descendant of Aisin Gioro and the grandson of Nurhaci. Although his father Abatai was not very powerful, he had never made any major mistakes and was considered a representative of the steady party.

Boluo took charge at a young age. On the one hand, Dorgon was deliberately trained, and on the other hand, the descendants of the Aisin Gioro family really didn't have many heroes.

A Luke Dehun appeared before, but it was proved to be an absolute fool by actual combat.

In order to reshape the image of the younger generations of Aisin Gioro, Dorgon could only pull the general out of the dwarf and push Boluo out.

Dorgon knew very well that Boluo would never allow failure to take charge of the battle, otherwise it would be a huge blow to the prestige of the Aisin Gioro family.

Therefore, he sent Hong Chengchou, whom he valued the most, as Boluo's deputy, to ensure that everything is foolproof.

Bolo's expedition this time was to make his prestige by gilding, not to ask him to be his own side.

Therefore, Dorgon personally told Boluo that he should listen more and watch more, and that everything should be based on Hong Chengchou's decision.

Boluo naturally remembered Dorgon's teachings in his heart. At this moment, he saw Hong Chengchou ask questions, and he swallowed and then said in a harmonious voice: "I have heard from Mr. Hong."

Even the Regent called Hong Chengchou "Mr. He, a junior, didn't say that this was embarrassing to the Aisin Gioro family.

Boro had already made up his mind.

He will do whatever Hong Chengchou said.

"Master Beile is too humble. You are the head coach. How can you interfere in the affairs of the slave?"

Hong Chengchou said slowly.

"this"

Boro was a little embarrassed for a moment.

The Regent told him that everything was based on Hong Chengchou's decision, and he just wanted to agree.

But now Hong Chengchou threw the problem to him and forced him to make a decision. What should he do?

Boro frowned and began to carefully analyze the pros and cons of the two solutions.
