The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

When advancing, he can conquer the world with military force, and when retreating, he can be gentle and compassionate.

Look at this harmonious and warm scene of joy between grandparents and grandchildren...

The music continues.

"Jingzhou, Wuchang, who did you send?"

Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong mentioned the name.

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang frowned slightly.

"Are they all the princes and beile of the Eight Banners of Jianzhou and the Eight Banners of Mengwu?"

"Yes." Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong explained.

"In this critical moment, the Han people are not trustworthy. It is time for the kings and beile to pledge their loyalty to the Great Jing Empire."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang pointed out the omissions in Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong's deployment.

"Their loyalty is, of course, beyond doubt."

"But relying on them alone, I'm afraid they can't stop the offensive of the Yunnan rebels.

"At this critical moment, the people you use must not only be loyal, but also capable!"

"We must not allow ourselves to suffer harm due to a moment of negligence.

"......Please give me your instructions, ancestor." Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong understood what Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang meant. The old grandmother wanted to recommend someone to guard a place for him.

Then, Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong heard a few words coming out of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's mouth.

"Hong Chengchou.

Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong looked up in surprise.

Hong Chengchou was a Jinshi during the Wanli period of the previous dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty, he made his mark and shined in the process of suppressing peasant uprisings, and was later highly valued by Emperor Sizong.

In the end, Hong Chengchou was promoted from a mere political participant to the high position of Governor of Ji and Liao by Emperor Sizong. He was truly favored and treated well.

Then he was defeated and surrendered in the Battle of Songjin.

This is simply unimaginable

You must know that when you eat the emperor's food, you must be loyal to him.

Everyone else can surrender, but you, Hong Chengchou, cannot surrender.

According to Sizong's kindness to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou should abide by his loyalty and repay the emperor's kindness with his death.

As a result, Hong Chengchou not only surrendered, but also tried his best to instigate the court to intensify its offensive against the Meng Dynasty.

When Li Zicheng approached the capital, the then Qing Ting was just planning to go around Jizhou and enter the pass to grab another

It was precisely because of Hong Chengchou's strong advice that the Jingting finally changed its plan to capture Shanhaiguan and successfully embarked on the road to ruling the world.

After the Jing court entered the Central Plains, Hong Chengchou made great contributions to the Jing court's conquest of the Central Plains and the suppression of the Southern Meng Dynasty by relying on his own reputation and ability.

After Li Dingguo was defeated twice and the court was about to retreat, it was Hong Chengchou who turned the tide of the war. He was so devoted and spared no effort.

It is really the case that "the great kindness was not repaid but turned into hatred".

Zu Dashou, the general who surrendered with him, was a runaway general who drank the blood of his soldiers, allowed his soldiers to plunder, killed innocent people and took credit for his deeds, and had too many stains on his body to wash away.

But compared to Hong Chengchou, he can actually be considered a half-loyal minister!

After all, after surrendering, this fleeing general stayed at home and did not turn his butcher knife against his former employer.

Therefore, after Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang recommended Hong Chengchou, Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong were quite hesitant.

"Ancestor

"Although Hong Chengchou is still alive, he has already retired."

"What's more, we didn't treat him very well some time ago. Letting him come back as governor again is a bit..."

No one looks down on traitors.

After Hong Chengchou surrendered to Jing, his relatives and friends strongly despised him. His mother and brother also disowned him. When he went out in daily life, he was often pointed at and scolded.

And Xingting also kept a close eye on this traitor, imposing countless restrictions, surveillance, and precautions on him.

When this all-rounder of civil and military talents, who had once been a Grand Secretary of the Imperial Academy, Minister of War and Right Vice-Censor of the Censorate, Assistant to the Imperial Guards, Grand Tutor and Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, and Governor of Five Provinces, retired,

The Emperor gave him a hereditary title of Third Class Light Cavalry Commandant...

Being one level lower than the baron is simply a humiliation to him.

So when Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang suggested the appointment of Hong Chengchou, Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong were full of doubts.

What if Hong Chengchou, after gaining military power, rebelled like others?

Given Hong Chengchou's ability, it would probably be very difficult to eliminate him.

Even though this man was very old, Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong still did not dare to underestimate this old man in his twilight years.

"Hehehe." But Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang laughed softly at this time.

She had a pretty good grasp of Hong Chengchou's psychology.

Naturally, it was understood that Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong's worries were unnecessary.

"Do not worry."

"He will definitely do his best." A gleam of light flashed in Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's eyes.

"Otherwise, wouldn't he become a traitor and a slave of a conquered nation?"

As a Confucian scholar-official, Hong Chengchou must have known that he would be cursed for eternity in history, and even his master in Jianzhou would despise him.

but……

The more this happened, the more he had to help Dacheng establish a foundation that would last forever.

If the Chinese people, their descendants, are ruled by the Tartars for generations to come, they will all become dog slaves of the Tartar zombies.

So in the end, how much better could those who scolded Hong Chengchou be than him?

"I see!"

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's words awakened Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong.

"It's extreme, it's extreme."

"At a time like this, Hong Chengchou must take action!"

"Grandson will issue the decree right away!"

In this way, Hong Chengchou was reinstated and was in charge of seven provinces: Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Shaanxi.

The Governor-General shall be in charge of military affairs and food and wages. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War shall not interfere, and the Ministry of Revenue shall not delay.

Then, he once again embarked on the road to strangle Nan Meng.

Chapter 742 - Plague Month

Smoke and dust filled the sky

The huge army moved forward along the road like a winding giant snake.

The streets were bustling with people, cars and people, all kinds of shouts and cries were heard one after another, and thousands of flags were shaking in the wind.

This was the army allocated by Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong to Hong Chengchou to march south to quell the rebellion.

The Jianzhou Eight Banners, the Mengwu Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners, and the Green Camps in various places...

It was a huge wave that seemed to be able to drown everything.

When night fell, this huge army quickly transformed the camp into a huge city with bright lights.

The blazing flames seemed to light up the sky.

Big account.

"Teacher."

The curtain of the general's tent was lifted.

—A very pretty young woman dressed as a scholar pushed the door open and walked in, holding a box carefully decorated with brocade.

"The quality of the pills delivered this time is much better than before."

The woman walked quickly forward, opened the box, and revealed a dozen jade-like pills.

"Humph!"

"Those guys are so contemptuous of others."

"As soon as they saw our teacher begging for his remains, they started to withhold our rewards and give us some defective products to fool us."

"As soon as our mentor returned this time, they immediately changed their attitudes."

The woman shook her head and made a clicking sound.

"Not only are the pills the best, but they also gave me a lot of generous gifts."

"There's nothing more sinister than currying favor with the powerful and flattering the weak."

The old man sitting on the seat opened his cloudy eyes after hearing the woman's voice.

This is the current Governor of the Seven Provinces

Hong Chengchou.

"Cough, cough, cough." As soon as he opened his eyes, Hong Chengchou coughed violently, and his whole body curled up like a shrimp.

The small rat-tail braid hanging behind her forehead trembled, and her face turned a little pale.

"My dear mentor." Upon seeing this, the woman hurried forward and gently patted Hong Chengchou on the back.

When he felt a little better, the woman poured him a cup of warm water and helped him take the pill.

Then, a dark blue color appeared on Hong Chengchou's face again.

The Jianzhou Eight Banners Army from the forest likes to let shamans use various spells and witchcraft to transform themselves into half zombies.

After entering the Central Plains, they also brought this hobby to the court.

If I don't use the elixir to turn myself into a zombie that is neither human nor ghost, and emits a foul smell...

Do you still want to hang around in the big city?

Of course, in the eyes of Jianzhou people, this is all a gift from their master.

Just kowtow and express your gratitude.

"Mo Congmei." After feeling better, Hong Chengchou spoke somewhat dejectedly.

"I thought the situation in the southwest was settled and I could enjoy my old age."

"I didn't expect the bandits to rebel and take over half of the country in less than three months."

"First, the Shun bandits, then the Western bandits, and then the plant and tree monsters in the mountains..."

"They all flocked to join the pseudo-meng army and resisted our great heavenly soldiers."

"you say…"

Hong Chengchou paused.

"Could it be that Qian Mengzhen's dragon energy has not yet been exhausted?"

"Could it be that things in this world really do keep coming back?"

When he said this, there was actually a hint of panic in Hong Chengchou's voice.

"If this is true, how should I, as your teacher, deal with myself in the future?"

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel worried.

Because of his surrender, he had already been criticized by the whole world, and even the master of Jianzhou did not like him very much.

With his reputation ruined, Hong Chengchou naturally wanted to make up for it with his achievements.

If he could really help Dacheng gain the world, then Hong Chengchou could still comfort himself by saying that his previous actions were necessary in order to stabilize the world.
