After getting Zhu Cixi's order, Hauge sent his Baya Lazhang Jing Aobai to Pegasus to Dorgon's camp with the order.
Hauge's idea is very simple, doesn't he just want Hong Chengchou? Isn’t there just one here in Qing Dynasty? Just call Hong Chengchou, let Hong Chengchou take over the city defense of Beijing, then transfer it to the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't it be enough? There is no need to attack the city, and there is no need to bring in many Eight Banners warriors.
So Obai took the decree with him and spent a day and night rushing to Yongping City where Dorgon was stationed, and personally handed the decree to Dorgon, who looked extremely ugly.
Dorgon took the order and read it once, then handed it to Fan Wencheng beside him and asked him to read it too. After Fan Wencheng finished reading it, Dorgon asked: "How is it? Is it Zhu Cihong's own handwriting?"
"It should be," Fan Wencheng said. "The handwriting is the same as that in Zhu Cihong's letter to Hong Chengchou."
Dorgon nodded and asked Obai, "What does Haoge mean?"
Oboi replied: "Banner Master Baylor wants to ask Hong Shangshu to leave, so that the warriors will not suffer heavy casualties under the strong city of Beijing."
Dorgon nodded and waved his hand to send Obai down to wait for the news.
As soon as Obai stepped forward, Dorgon gave a heavy grunt.
Fan Wencheng on the side was trembling and said to Dorgon quickly: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Hong Chengchou go to Beijing and make him meritorious?"
Dorgon glanced at Fan Wencheng and said, "Do you dare to vouch for him? What if he enters Beijing to take charge of the defense? He can fight, and now there is no Emperor Chongzhen to give random orders, we can capture him The city of Beijing that holds fast?”
"Slave," Fan Wencheng knelt down in front of Dorgon, "Slave is just a wrapper, and I am not qualified to vouch for him..."
"You don't want to protect him, what about others?" Dorgon glanced coldly at the tent, "Is anyone willing to protect him?"
Duduo said: "What else are you guaranteeing? The evidence is conclusive...Beijing recognized him as Hong Chengchou, and Shen Zhixiang (Xu Shungong) sent an envoy from the Xuanfu to report that Jiang Yu from Datong had been killed. He took the banner of the Ming Dynasty, refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and even allowed Zhu Cijiong and Wang Yongji's troops to enter the country. This Hong Chengchou was clearly in the Qing camp and had a bright mind!
If we are allowed to enter Beijing, I am afraid that our entry into the customs will be in vain! "
Dorgon's confidant, Guarjia Ganglin, a bachelor of the Academy of Chinese History, said: "Although the evidence is conclusive, we must give him a chance to defend himself... He must be convinced before he dies."
This Gang Lin had a good relationship with Hong Chengchou and wanted to give him a hand. However, it is impossible to vouch for Lao Hong, and he is not strong enough yet.
"Okay, that's it." Dorgon nodded, "I will give him one last chance and listen to what he has to say."
Hong Chengchou was quickly brought in. He was not tied up, but was watched by two bagaras with white flags. Dorgon asked someone to show him Zhu Cihong's edict. After reading it, Hong Chengchou collapsed.
This Zhu Cixiang is so treacherous! All kinds of evidence can be strung together into a chain, why should he deny it like this?
And...why did Zhu Cixi harm him like this? Hong Chengchou really couldn't understand that he had become a traitor. But there are so many traitors these days, even Wu Sanfeng, the brother of Zhu Cihong's beloved concubine Wu Sanmei, and uncle Zu Dashou are traitors.
Zhu Cixiang didn’t have trouble with other traitors either! He didn't set up the Three-Shun King and One-Shun Gong, nor did he harm Fan Wencheng. Why did he deliberately set up so many traps to harm him, Hong Chengchou? What hatred does he have with Prince Zhu? No!
How to explain this? Even if Hong Chengchou is so smart, he doesn't know what's going on - it's impossible for him to know now how much contribution he made to the Qing Dynasty to pacify the world in history!
So he had no way to defend himself and could only wait to die!
But he is a coward who is afraid of death - if he were not afraid of death, he would have become a loyal martyr long ago. He became a traitor because he was afraid of death, but now he, a traitor, has been framed as a loyal martyr... When something like this happens , can it not make people collapse?
Hong Chengchou used to look quite vulgar, but now he looks more like a cunning villain. Kneeling there listlessly, shivering, looking like he was dying.
"This, this..." Dorgon looked at him looking hopeless and shook his head repeatedly, "This Hong Chengchou doesn't seem to be in the Cao camp and in the Hanguan Second Master!"
When Hong Chengchou heard this, he seemed to be grasping at straws and immediately responded: "Your Majesty Mingjian, I am not a person like Mr. Guan... I am just a villain, how can I be in the Ming camp?" ?”
Dorgon shook his head and sighed: "Hong Hengjiu, stop pretending... what you did is more beautiful than Mr. Guan! The Ming Dynasty was already destroyed, but you saved everyone! So Zhu The prince wants you to be a bachelor and make you a marquis!
You want to be remembered in history! You are going to be in "The Biography of Loyal Ministers", but I, the Qing Dynasty, can't keep you! Alas, I can only tell you that it is too late to meet you! "
Hong Chengchou really didn't have time to cry. What's the matter? He was obviously a hardcore traitor, but he suddenly became an anti-Qing hero! I will be generous and sacrifice soon...
"Prince Regent, I was wronged," Hong Chengchou knew that something was wrong and burst into tears. "I am really not a loyal minister who will go down in history. I am just a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Dorgon shook his head: "Oh, don't taint yourself...you are a loyal martyr, a loyal martyr of the Ming Dynasty!
Everyone, do you think he is loyal? "
Duduo nodded and said: "He is Zhonglie!"
Prince Zheng Jierhalang gave Brother Zheng a thumbs up: "It doesn't look like it, but what you do is undoubtedly loyal!"
Fan Wencheng bowed and said, "Hong Hengjiu, please bow to Fan Wencheng!"
Grand Scholar Gang Lin also paid his respects: "Hong Hengjiu, Gang Lin admires him!"
Okay, thank you all...
Dorgon sighed: "Since everyone thinks that Heng Jiu is a loyal man, let's not keep him alive... drag him out and behead him! Fan Wencheng, go and supervise the beheading!"
Hong Chengchou was really anxious and shouted loudly: "I am wronged! I, Hong Chengchou, am really not Zhu Cixiang's internal agent. I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty!"
But no one in the tent hall believed that he was a traitor, so no matter what he shouted, the two Bagala warriors who followed him still carried him outside the camp gate. Fan Wencheng, who was supervising the execution, also followed and asked for a jug of wine from nowhere. When he saw Hong Chengchou, who was crying like a man in tears, he was tied up and held there, so he went up to him with wine in hand.
"Brother Hengjiu, drink before you leave!"
Hong Chengchou couldn't drink it, he just cried: "I am wronged! I, Hong Chengchou, am really not Zhu Cixiang's internal agent. I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty!"
Fan Wencheng shook his head, his acting skills were really top-notch, I can't help but admire him... He waved his hand and said to the two Bagala warriors: "Give him a good time!"
Then he raised and lowered the knife. The knife was very fast and Hong Chengchou was in great pain...
...
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign in the Qing Dynasty, outside Desheng Gate in Beijing.
The people of Beijing have been waiting for the Ming Dynasty to stay in Beijing, and the governor of the Northern Zhili Military Affairs, the great scholar Hong Chengchou, has finally arrived! Wearing a black gauze python robe, he was dressed like a Ming Dynasty governor, and he came sitting on a coffin - they were all decapitated, so why not sit on a coffin? It's not a thin-skinned coffin, but a fine ash coffin, painted with a layer of red paint, which makes it look dignified. There was also Obai, who had just been promoted to become the first warrior in Manchuria, who personally led the white-armored soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner to deliver the goods, not to mention how majestic he was.
"This, this, this...why is it a coffin?"
"Director Hong, could it be that..."
Luo Yangxing and Guang Shiheng, who led a group of ministers and bankrupt Beijing gentry to greet Hong Chengchou outside the Deshengmen Urn, saw the coffin and were so shocked that they could not even speak.
Obai had already ridden his horse, and when he arrived in front of Luo Yangxing and Guang Shiheng, he cupped his hands on the horse and said: "You two, the Hong Chengchou you want has been delivered, and it's in the coffin... Please sign for it. "
"Then, then, why was it put in the coffin?" Luo Yangxing asked, "Is it dead or alive?"
"Of course they are dead," Obai smiled bitterly, "A living person should ride in a sedan or a car, where can I sit in a coffin?"
"How did you die?"
Obai spread his hands and said, "Commander Luo, this is going to take a long time... You'd better check the receipt first, and then talk about it slowly after you're done."
Ao Bai is just a deliveryman. Whether Hong Chengchou is dead or alive has nothing to do with him, he just takes care of the delivery.
