Chapter 1403 A strange man from two dynasties——Hong Chengchou

As Fusu started, summoning cards appeared in front of Fusu again.

Fusu stretched out his hand and took out one very casually.

A strange man from both dynasties - Hong Chengchou.

This name may not be unfamiliar, but Hong Chengchou may not be very familiar with it.

Hong Chengchou, courtesy name Yanyan and nickname Hengjiu, was born in Yingdu, Nan'an, Quanzhou, Fujian.

In the 44th year of Wanli's reign, he became a Jinshi. He served as the Chief Envoy of Shaanxi Province and participated in politics. During the Chongzhen period, he served as Minister of War and Governor of Jiliao. After the defeat in the Battle of Songjin, he was captured by the Qing Dynasty. He later surrendered and became a Han scholar in the Qing Dynasty.

In April of the first year of Shunzhi, he entered the Pass with the Qing army. After arriving in Beijing, he took the title of Prince Taibao, Minister of the Ministry of War and Right Deputy Capital Censor, and was appointed as an assistant in the inner court to manage the affairs.

Hong Chengchou promoted Confucian scholarship and put forward opinions on Emperor Shunzhi's lack of belief in Confucius and Mencius, laying the foundation for the merger of Manchu and Han Dynasty. Hong Chengchou suggested that the Qing court adopt many laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty and made many suggestions, most of which were accepted by the Qing court and implemented to improve the Qing Dynasty's state apparatus. In order to consolidate the rule of the Qing Dynasty, Chengchou suggested that the Manchu ruling group should also "learn Chinese and learn the Chinese language", understand Han people's etiquette and customs, and downplay the differences between Manchu and Chinese.

In the 10th year of Shunzhi's reign, he was ordered to conduct a survey of Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, and was the governor-general of military affairs and in charge of food and wages.

In the 16th year of Shunzhi, he supervised the Qing army to capture Yunnan and then returned to the capital.

In September of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Qing army moved south in two directions, and the capital was under martial law.

The Ming Dynasty, which was surrounded by enemies on both sides, had to transfer its coach Hong Chengchou from the western front to lead the army with Sun Chuanting into the defense.

In the autumn of the next year, Huang Taiji led his troops to capture Yizhou and used it as a base to launch a siege of Jinzhou. Emperor Chongzhen also tried his best to strengthen the defense of Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou.

At the beginning of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou was transferred to the governor of Jiliao and led the Shaanxi troops eastward to join forces with Ma Ke in Shanhaiguan and Wu Sangui in Ningyuan. Jinzhou has three cities, Songshan, Xingshan and Tashan, which form the horns of each other.

In the winter of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army attacked Jinzhou and Ningyuan. Hong Chengchou sent troops to help, but they were defeated at Tashan and Xingshan.

In the spring of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, in order to save the crisis in Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty sent Hong Chengchou to lead the Xuanfu general Yang Guozhu, the Datong general Wang Pu, the Miyun general Tang Tong, the Jizhou general Bai Guangen, the Yutian general Cao Bianjiao, and the Shanhaiguan general Ma Ke. The so-called eight generals, including Wang Tingchen, the former garrison commander, and Wu Sangui, the Ningyuan commander, brought 130,000 elite troops and 40,000 horses to come to the rescue and assembled in Ningyuan to fight the Qing troops.

In March, Huang Taiji sent out troops to adopt the policy of besieging Jinzhou for a long time, which was bound to be defeated.

Hong Chengchou advocated approaching Jinzhou slowly, setting up camp step by step, fighting and defending, and not fighting lightly. However, Chen Xingjia, Minister of the Ministry of War, promoted the war and adopted the policy of quick war and quick decision when Emperor Chongzhen also wanted to be cautious.

In August, Huang Taiji learned that the Ming reinforcements had arrived, so he personally led a large army from Shengjing to come to the rescue. They stationed themselves between Songshan and Xingshan and deployed to the south of the Ming army. The Jilharang army attacked the outer city of Jinzhou and cut off the army. The connection between Song and Xingjian of the Ming army cut off the Ming army's food route and cut off Hong Chengchou's return route.

Hong Chengchou advocated a fight to the death, while the general officers of the various ministries advocated retreating south, and finally gathered to break through the mountains.

In the end, hundreds of thousands of people collapsed.

After Hong Chengchou was arrested, he went on a hunger strike for several days and refused to surrender.

Huang Taiji sent all the people he could use to persuade him to surrender, but they were all scolded and turned back. Huang Taiji still refused to give up and ordered Fan Wencheng, the most favored official minister, to persuade him to surrender to see if he was determined to die rather than surrender.

When Fan Wencheng arrived, Hong Chengchou roared loudly, but Fan Wencheng was patient and did not mention the matter of surrender. He talked with him about the past and the present, and at the same time quietly observed his words. During the conversation, a piece of dust fell from the beam and fell on Hong Chengchou's clothes. As Hong Chengchou spoke, he "brushed it off again and again."

Fan Wencheng calmly said goodbye and replied to Taizong: "Chengchou will not die. Chengchou still cherishes my robe so much, not to mention his body?" Huang Taiji accepted the professional opinions of Fan Wencheng, Zhang Cunren and others, and treated Hong Chengchou Please take good care of me and be kind to me.

The next day, Huang Taiji came to the Ancestral Temple in person, and Hong Chengchou stood up without kneeling. Huang Taiji asked about the cold and warmth. Seeing that Hong Chengchou's clothes were thin, he immediately took off his mink fur and put it on Hong Chengchou's body.

Hong Chengchou was an important historical figure during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and also a historical figure with major controversy.

Hong Chengchou was originally an important minister of the Ming Dynasty. Because of his meritorious service in suppressing the peasant uprising, he was promoted to the governor of the Three Borders and the governor of Jiliao.

However, in the Battle of Songjin, Hong Chengchou was constrained by Chen Xingjia, Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, and could not realize his strategic ideas. In addition, the Ming Dynasty was already very corrupt at that time, and Emperor Chongzhen could not provide support to Hong Chengchou, which led to the failure of the Battle of Songjin and his own failure. Captured by the Qing army.

After the Qing Emperor Taiji persuaded him to surrender, Hong Chengchou sized up the situation and finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

He made suggestions for the Qing Dynasty to unify Kyushu, participated in the Qing Dynasty's central government affairs, and played an important role in appeasing Jiangnan and preventing the people of Jiangnan from suffering. When he persuaded Zheng Zhilong to surrender and successfully marched into Fujian, he was praised as "the first achievement in opening up the Qing Dynasty".

From a historicist point of view, the reason why Hong Chengchou became an important minister in the Ming Dynasty was that he made his fortune by suppressing peasant uprisings and is not worthy of praise; but after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he became a founding official in the early Qing Dynasty, promoting the unification of the Qing Dynasty and easing ethnic conflicts. In other aspects, they are all beneficial to the country and the nation and should be affirmed. ..

Chapter 1404 Dougan Couplet Xishan is very violent

Hong Chengchou was born extraordinary. According to rumors, when he was eight years old, Hong Chengchou's grandfather Fu Yuanwai passed away, and his mother took him to the funeral. The person presiding over the funeral asked them if they had any funeral rites. My mother shook her head, but he opened his mouth and said yes.

Entering the mourning hall, he knelt down respectfully and saluted his grandfather's shrine, and then recited plausibly: The divine wind calls to invite you, your descendants will kneel down to worship Kong Yiji, gold and silver paper money will be converted into three thousand, and the pig's head gift will be given to Xiaosheng.

This sacrificial poem is an adapted sentence from the Three-Character Sutra, and there is nothing surprising about it. However, as an eight-year-old child, he can speak it smoothly, which shows his quick thinking. Hong Chengchou's move was immediately praised by relatives and friends present.

The most famous story about Hong Chengchou should be - Dougan Couplet!

Hong Chengchou's family background was not good during his childhood. It is said that when he was eleven years old, he dropped out of school and went home to help his mother make dried tofu.

Every morning, he would go from village to village selling dried tofu.

One day, Hong Chengchou went there to sell dried tofu. Several students gathered around and each bought one piece. Hong Chengchou asked them to buy another piece. The students said with a sad face that they had not found out the pair yet and did not dare to delay any longer.

Hong Chengchou agreed to help them match the pairs, but each person had to buy an extra piece of dried tofu.

One day, Mr. Hong took a student and asked him to make a correct answer on the spot. The student could not tell the correct answer.

He had to admit that a kid selling dried tofu helped him.

Hong Qiyin immediately asked his students to call Hong Chengchou. Seeing that the child looked very smart, he learned that he could not continue studying because of his poor family background, so he wanted to try his talent, so he wrote a pair of first couplets for Hong Chengchou to read.

Hong Qiyin pointed to the inkstone on the table and said: The inkstone is long and can compose hundreds of poems. Hong Chengchou looked at the leftover dried tofu and quickly replied: The tofu is square, just like a jade seal.

Hong Qiyin was very happy after hearing this, and wrote another couplet: White tofu, white tofu, be honest, erudite and learn from Li Bai.

Hong Chengchou understood that since the gentleman turned to tofu as the question, he should also answer with an inkstone, so he casually read out: Black inkstone, inkstone is black, the iron bones of an official are clanking black.

After hearing this, the husband felt that the child was not only talented but also had extraordinary ambitions, so he went to Hong Chengchou's mother and persuaded her to send the child to school and promised not to charge tuition. Fu was naturally happy, and Hong Chengchou entered the academy again. He was highly regarded by Hong Qiyin and became his favorite disciple.

Later, after Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he not only performed many military exploits, but also gave Huang Taiji many ideas, thus accelerating the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

After Shunzhi entered the customs, he ascended the Golden Palace in the capital and rewarded hundreds of civil and military officials. Among the Han officials, Hong Chengchou was the one who made the greatest contribution, so he was named the first rank of the dynasty.

On the first Spring Festival after the Qing army entered the customs, firecrackers were set off all night in the capital city. Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hong Chengchou and his wife and concubines were sleeping soundly. Suddenly, the guards guarding the door broke into the bedroom, holding a pair of couplets with wet ink in their hands and handed them to him. When Hong Chengchou took the couplet and looked at it, his face turned as red as a purple eggplant. He asked, "Where did this couplet come from?"

The guard said: "It was just after the fifth watch this morning. I went to inspect the door and saw another person posting couplets on the couplets at the door of the house. I yelled and chased after me. When the person saw me, he didn't bother to put up the couplets. Ran away."

Why is Hong Chengchou so angry? It turns out that the couplet read: "Loyalty, justice, filial piety, etiquette and integrity; one, two, three, four, five, six, seven." The first couplet lacks "shame" and the second couplet forgets "eight". This is clearly calling Hong Chengchou a shameless bastard. Can he not be angry?

This was also the price Hong Chengchou paid for surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.

Because at that time the Han people were preparing to "reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty".
