In the history of the Qing Dynasty, the relationship between the young Empress Xiaozhuang and Hong Chengzu seemed to be somewhat extraordinary.
Xiaozhuang and Hong Chengzuo, one is the young Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty, and the other is a famous general of the Ming Dynasty,
Folklore, between the two, there is a story that has to be told.
Especially in the popularity of "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" a few years ago, the story of their "wind and snow and snow" is even more "confusing" and dazzling.
Of course, the main history is not recorded, and even if it is, because it symbolizes the royal face, it will not be recorded.
It mainly appears in wild histories such as "Popular Interpretation of Qing History" and "Secret History of Qing Palace".
There has always been a rumor about Xiaozhuang and Hong Chengzu, and the specific record is as follows:
In the Battle of Jinzhou, the famous Ming Dynasty minister and general Hong Chengzu was defeated and captured, although Manchuria was strong and strong, after all, the number was small, only a few hundred thousand, and more Han "elites" were needed to join, so Huang Taiji planned to recruit Hong Chengzu to facilitate the surrender of more "Imperial Allied Forces".
Unexpectedly, Hong Chengzu resolutely refused to comply, and also went on hunger strike for a few days, so that everyone could see his determination to "swear to die and not surrender", so that he could sell for a good price.
Huang Taiji had investigated Hong Chengzu's black history and heard that this person liked beautiful women, at which time Dayu'er took the initiative to come out and said that he wanted her to try.
Huang Taiji also only favored Da Yu'er's sister Hai Lanzhu, JiangShan and beauty, Huang Taiji did not hesitate to choose the former, jokes, with Jiangshan, He Worried about countless Yu Jiao'e, a big Yu'er is worth it, therefore, acquiesced to her "beauty plan".
Only to see her big Yu'er freshen up and dress up, and then launched her "beauty plan".
Xiao Zhuangmei looked at Hong Chengyu affectionately and said, "The little girl has admired the general's style for a long time, how pity it is to die like this, and is willing to witness the colorful world with the general." “
In this way, Hong Chengzuo felt that he did not expect that a woman of a foreign race valued herself so much, she was still so beautiful, and afterwards, she felt that "it was most difficult to absorb the grace of beauty", so he agreed to Xiaozhuang's request to surrender.
So the question is, Hong Chengzu was defeated and captured, "vowing to die and not surrender": Xiaozhuang agreed as soon as he persuaded, is it true?
This issue explores this issue.
First of all, let's understand the life of the "male protagonist" Hong Chengzuo.
01, Hanmen Takako
Born in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, Hong Chengyu came from a poor family when he was a child, studied in a private school, dropped out of school because he could not afford to pay the tuition fees when he was eleven years old, helped his mother make dried beans at home for a living, and had to walk the streets and alleys every morning to sell them.
At that time, there was a young and talented talent in Quanzhou, Hong Qiyin, who ran a village school in the Shuigou Pavilion, and when Hong Chengyu sold dried beans and had time, he secretly listened to classes outside the school hall and occasionally helped the students pair up.
Hong Qiyin discovered Hong Chengzuo's talent, accepted Hong Chengzuo as a student for free, and taught carefully.
Hong Chengyu really lived up to his expectations, and at the age of 23, he was admitted to the Jinshi.
In short, Hong Chengzu studied hard in the cold window for ten years, and after entering the army, he slowly became an official at the level of the current director of the department, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters were frequent, the imperial court was ineffective in disaster relief, and even plague broke out in Hebei and other places in Shanxi, and many people were hungry and hungry, and they rose up, at this time, the external troubles were still there, and Hong Chengzu became a local official in the three provinces in the process of quelling the peasant uprising.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and he was unfortunately defeated and captured in the battle with the Eight Banner Army.
02, defection to clear
On the issue of Hong Chengzu's surrender, it is recorded in the Qing History Manuscript and the Biography of Hong Chengzu.
Emperor Taiji asked Fan Wencheng to persuade him to surrender. As soon as Hong Chengyu saw Fan Wencheng, he scolded, "You traitor, you will not have a good end!" "Chattered and talked for a while.
When he was tired of scolding, Fan Wencheng said, good birds choose trees to perch, what toss, like me is not good at food?
Hong Chengyu still did not speak, but when he saw the dust on the beams of the house falling on his clothes, he dusted off the dust several times.
Fan Wencheng saw the situation and said to Huang Taiji, "He cherishes his clothes so much, and his life must also be cherished, so it would be better to care more about him." “
Emperor Taiji listened to Fan Wencheng's advice and treated Hong Chengzu with great courtesy, and eventually Hong Chengzu defected and surrendered.
From here, Hong Chengzu surrendered, mainly because his own will was not firm enough, even if there was Wen Tianxiang's idea of committing suicide, in the end he still spared his life, so that he immediately surrendered and felt that he had lost face, so it was mainly to make a show, "when the framer also set up a archway", and finally hit it off with the Emperor Taiji and submitted to the Qing Dynasty.
Emperor Taiji was heartbroken after the death of his favorite concubine Hai Lanzhu, and two years later he also left, after which Hong Chengzu turned to follow Dolgun and encircle and suppress the Southern Ming army, and Hong Chengzu suggested that less killing should be done before victory, and the officials who surrendered should be treated with courtesy, which did reduce a lot of resistance and made a great contribution to the unification of the Qing Dynasty.
Secondly, Dayu'er is a Mongolian, does not speak Chinese, the language between the two is not spoken, plus Dolgun itself has some unclear relationship with Dayu'er, Dolgun and Dayu'er, the relationship between the two of them is more likely. This problem has already been explained in a previous article, Dorgon himself is too late to seduce The Great Jade, how can he create an extra "love enemy" for himself?
The above is that Hong Chengzu was defeated and captured, "vowing to die and not surrender": Xiaozhuang agreed as soon as he persuaded, is it true? It's all there is to it.
