Just when the envoys from both sides arrived in Nagasaki, in the secret room of the palace, a man dressed as a scholar was blindfolded and tied to a recliner.
"Master Hong, do you choose to surrender or surrender?" Su Wuxin asked slowly on the seat next to him while drinking Xinyang Maojian, which had come all the way from the Central Plains.
"You bastard, I would rather die than surrender," Hong Chengchou yelled.
"It's good to be punished." Su Wuxin ordered directly.
The guard on the side picked up a piece of paper, wetted the paper in the basin next to it, and covered Hong Chengchou's face directly.
As the papers continued to pile up, Hong Chengchou finally chose to surrender.
Hong Chengchou, one of the great traitors of the Ming Dynasty.
In the 21st year of Wanli (1593), Hong Chengchou was born in Yingdu, Nan'an, Quanzhou, Fujian.
In the forty-third year of Wanli (1615), 23-year-old Hong Chengchou went to the province to take part in the provincial examination and became the 19th candidate for the Chinese examination in Yimao Branch.
In the forty-fourth year of Wanli (1616), Hong Chengchou went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. He was admitted to the imperial examination in Lian Jie and ranked 14th among the top two in the Bingchen imperial examination. He was awarded the title of Jinshi.
Hong Chengchou was first appointed as the head of the Jiangxi Qing Li Department of the Ministry of Punishment. He held the positions of Yuanwailang and Langzhong and served in the Ministry of Punishment for six years.
In the second year of Tianqi (1622), he was promoted to Zhejiang Tixueqianshi. He recognized people with high talents. The selected talents were all outstanding and were highly regarded by the imperial court. Two years later, he was promoted to the political left-hand councilor of Liangzhe Chengxuan.
In the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), Hong Chengchou was promoted to Shaanxi grain supervisor and participated in political affairs.
According to the course of history, along with the peasant uprising, Hong Chengchou's status will rise, but after Zhu Youjianzi traveled through, he has been worried about the Shaanxi Uprising.
After he came to the throne, he reduced taxes and vigorously provided disaster relief. At the same time, many corrupt officials were killed to vent public anger.
This led to the historical peasant uprising breaking out in northern Shaanxi in July of the first year of Chongzhen (1628), and died in the bud.
Without the peasant uprising, Hong Chengchou would naturally have no chance to rise.
Subsequently, the imperial court vigorously reformed and a large number of talented people were appointed. Someone recommended Hong Chengchou to Zhu You.
However, after Zhu Youjian saw Hong Chengchou's name, he directly added him to the blacklist.
In this way, Hong Chengchou held the position of supervising grain and participating in political affairs in Shaanxi for 6 years.
As the imperial court's strategy shifted to Japan, it was considered that Su Wuxin and others would go to America and seize territory from the Western Barbarians. Although Su Wuxin's soldiers were not weak, there were not many outstanding generals under Su Wuxin. Zhu Youjian was a little worried.
It happened that at this time, someone recommended Hong Chengchou to Zhu Youjian.
Without doing anything, Zhu Youjian directly sent secret guards to quietly package Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui and give them to Su Wuxin.
There are 5 words that come with it. Want to save face, fear of death.
As a result, Su Wuxin interrogated Hong Chengchou in the dungeon.
As for Wu Sangui, he had already surrendered and was now devouring his first dinner after surrendering in the palace.
"Very good, these eight are my confidants, and they will be your soldiers from now on."
Su Wuxin pointed at the eight strong men behind her and said.
Traitors have always been looked down upon by everyone.
Since it can be sold once, it is possible to sell it a second time.
Although he is a secret force under the emperor, he actually belongs to the Ming Dynasty.
Strictly speaking, they are not traitors.
But for traitors like Hong Chengchou, who once surrendered, actively made suggestions for establishing slaves and massacred Han people, they must be prepared for surveillance.
If you lose the battle one day, deal with the opponent as soon as possible to prevent the opponent from becoming a real traitor.
"From today on, you will be the commander of the Nagasaki First Guard. As long as you work hard with me, gold, silver, jewelry, beauties, and power will all be yours."
Although I look down on Hong Chengchou in my heart, it is undeniable that Hong Chengchou still has abilities.
Although the soldiers under his command are loyal to him, interests can change people's hearts.
After wearing the banner of rebellion for a long time, no one can guarantee that if they surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the rest of the people will follow.
If a soldier wants to be promoted, the best way is to achieve military exploits.
Only by being rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for demerit can we build an army that dares to win the war.
But this way.
Without the help of the imperial court, there will definitely be more and more foreign officers in the future.
If you want to ensure your status, you must ensure that your direct descendants have sufficient combat power and ensure that they do not suffer too much loss.
In this way, the Japanese servant army, which has been trained for many years, must shoulder certain responsibilities.
The main reason why the Japanese servant army was chosen was Su Wuxin's men. Now there are only two major servant armies, North Korea and Japan.
The North Korean army cannot get through the mud. Pass.
In Japan, whoever beats him is his father.
An army that is not afraid of death and has a fighting spirit is undoubtedly the best servant army.
Evacuation from Japan is imminent. According to the plan, at least four-fifths of the Japanese people would be packed up and sent to the New World together.
Unless the imperial court changes its strategy and directly targets the New World, the Japanese will be the main source of its servant army for a long time to come.
In this way, the loyalty of the servant army becomes particularly important.
The generals of the servant army are particularly important.
If you have the ability, you must be closely monitored by your own guards.
Only people like Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui are more suitable.
Such exquisite egoists and big traitors will be "loyal ministers and good generals" as long as they ensure that their lives are in their own hands at all times.
At the same time, in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian acted and directed himself in front of all the officials of the court.
"It's so powerful. In just three days, several officials in our Ming Dynasty were kidnapped by criminals. What do those city guards do for food?"
"You have to do a complete show." In order to smoothly send out the two big traitors, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui.
Zhu Youjian dispatched the biochemical soldiers he had just signed in to.
In various parts of the Ming Dynasty, they crazily kidnapped officials and gentry powerful people from various parts of the Ming Dynasty under the banner of establishing slaves.
In order to avoid being discovered, officials and powerful country gentry all chose randomly.
There are people from Shaanxi and Shanxi, as well as people from the Central Plains and Jiangnan.
There are dog officials who do evil things, and landowners who are unkind and unscrupulous for the sake of wealth.
There are also honest and upright officials, as well as powerful landlords with good reputations.
Most of the kidnappers were hidden nearby.
In order to make these people believe that it was the slaves who kidnapped them.
Zhu Youjian quietly selected 300 slaves from the labor camp.
divided into arrays. Together with the biochemical soldiers who were dressed in black and had their faces covered, they would come to these gentlemen from time to time to make noises.
Except for those really good officials and powerful people who benefited one party, the rest of them received cordial greetings from the Jiannu.
There are also some guys who did not break the law, but did do evil things, and they were directly killed as a warning to the monkeys.
