Chapter 159
Speaking of Hong Chengchou, a big traitor, many people know him.

Chongzhen once made a big joke because of his shamelessness.

Hong Chengchou, who was originally regarded as the pillar of the country by Chongzhen, was captured after the defeat of Liaodong. Chongzhen thought he died in battle as heroically as Lu Xiangsheng.

Not only for him, he went to the Hong Mansion to pay homage for three days, which can be said to be extremely honorable.

However, Hong Chengchou changed suddenly and became an important minister of the Eastern Captivity.

Moreover, he forsook his ancestors and used his familiarity with the inside story of the Ming Dynasty Hall to advise Dongyao so that Dongyao could quickly pacify the world.

Kong Youde and Hong Chengchou are different.

He and Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and the three Wuqiao rebelled, completely breaking the military balance between the Eastern captivity and Ming Dynasty.

Not only did they have their own army, but they also had gunsmiths and craftsmen, etc. Their status in the Eastern captives was far higher than that of generals like Hong Chengchou and Dashou.

The army under Kong Youde's command is still the army with the highest proportion of firearms in the Dongyao, and its combat effectiveness is also quite strong. Otherwise, how could it be crowned king by the Dongyao.

In Kong Youde's eyes, Hong Chengchou and the others are nothing at all, so he disdains them very much.

Now that the Eight Banners of the Eastern Captives have suffered a disastrous defeat, Kong Youde originally wanted to use the firearms in his hands to defeat the Ming army and make his position in the Eastern Captives more stable.

But who knows that Hong Chengchou also joined in the fun, which made Kong Youde very upset. Just about to refuse, Dorgon agreed to Hong Chengchou first.

In Dorgon's eyes, no matter how important these Hanchens are, how can they be compared with the Eight Banners captured in the East.

It would be best if they were willing to be cannon fodder, which would not only consume the Ming army, but also reduce the loss of the Eastern Captive Eight Banners.

Therefore, Dorgon ignored Yue Tuo at all, and smiled directly at Kong Youde and Hong Chengchou:
"Okay, you are indeed the pillars of my Qing Dynasty, and you can stand up at such a critical moment, which is enough to prove your loyalty. When you return to the court after victory, the king will hold a banquet in person to celebrate your achievements .”

Hong Chengchou fell to the ground again:
"Slave, Hong Chengchou will definitely devote himself to his master."

"Slave, Kong Youde thanked Lord Long En."

Hong Chengchou was happy, and had another chance to make contributions. He didn't think Kong Youde's firearms battalion would fail.

But Kong Youde felt as disgusted as eating a fly. Although he was extremely upset, he didn't dare to disobey Dorgon's intention.

Don't look at these traitors and lackeys, they were all arrogant and domineering in Ming Dynasty.

But Dongyao was very obedient, like a grandson all day long, he didn't dare to say a word of resistance, he looked like a slave.

As the owner of the small flag inlaid with red flags, and the eldest son of Prince Li Daishan, Yue Tuo was young and energetic, when he saw that Dorgon ignored him, he became anxious at that time, stepped forward and bowed to salute:
"Prince Regent, Yue Tuo is willing to lead the Eight Banners to flatten Liaoyang, please give me your permission."

Dorgon wanted to go up and slap this kid, so he looked up at Prince Li Daishan.

As the owner of the inlaid red flag and Yuetuo's father, Dorgon hopes that Daishan can restrain his stunned young son.

Dai Shanben is not a person who strives for strength and war, he immediately understood what Dorgon meant, although Yue Tuo was also very brave, but compared with Duduo Haoge, both of them died.

"Yue Tuo mustn't be rude, how can we compete with King Gongshun for military exploits with our red flags, step down."

"Father..."

Yue Tuo stomped his feet fiercely, turned around and left Chongwu Hall.

After everyone retreated, Dorgon left Daishan.

"Prince Li, now there are only six banners left in the Eight Banners. You hold the Inlaid Red Banner and the Zhenghong Banner in your hand, and this King also has the Zhenghuang Banner and the Zhengbai Banner in your hands.

Jierhalang led the Xianglan Banner to Guangning, while Azig Xiangbai Banner was far away in Mengyuan. The two of us must be closely united and do our best for the survival of the Qing Dynasty.

This king is going to take advantage of the heavy snow to dispatch the whole army to destroy Minggou after winter, and must preserve the strength of the Eight Banners for the time being.

Therefore, this king intends to let the Han army deal with the Han army first, and let them consume each other dog-eat-dog. I hope Prince Li can understand. "

The Xianghuang Banner originally belonged to Dorgon. In preparation for entering the customs, he exchanged it with Duoduo Xiangbai Banner. He did not expect that the Xianghuang Banner was wiped out in Shanhaiguan.

When Dorgon and Hauge were fighting for the throne, Prince Li Daishan still preferred Hauge more. The reason why Dorgon stayed on Daishan was also to repair the relationship with him.

Dai Shan clasped his fist at Dorgon:

"The regent is worrying too much. This king will give everything for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. He will never disregard the safety of the Qing Dynasty for some personal grievances."

"Then thank you, Prince Li, go back and rest."

After Daishan left, Dorgon went directly to the harem.

He wants to discuss the future of Dongyao with the number one beauty of Dongyao Tartars on Dayuer's phoenix house.

Kong Youde had [-] soldiers and horses under his command. If the combat effectiveness was indeed relatively strong, not only did they have artillery and firearms, but even their warships were taken into captivity.

Although Hong Chengchou had great talent, he recommended himself to fight with Kong Youde.

In view of Dorgon's face, Kong Youde could only give him an honorary military adviser, but in fact he didn't care about anything at all, he was just a mess.

After the army set off, seeing that Kong Youde ignored him, Hong Chengchou still followed Kong Youde with a smile on his face.

"My lord, our [-] troops are going directly to attack Liaoyang City. I personally don't feel very good. The casualties in the siege are too high. Why don't I set up an ambush, lure the enemy into the ambush circle, and wipe them out."

Seeing that Hong Chengchou wanted to direct him, Kong Youde was even more upset:
"Lord Hong, you said it lightly, where to ambush, will the Ming army leave the city? It's too simple to think, this king feels that you are talking about armies on paper."

I was already annoyed by Hong Chengchou in my heart, of course Kong Youde would not do what Hong Chengchou asked, and slammed him a few words.

In fact, he had to discuss it with Hong Chengchou. With Hong Chengchou's talents, Qi Jiguang and the others might really have a headache. After all, Kong Youde has firearms under his command.

But not only did Kong Youde not listen to Hong Chengchou's words, but he became more and more annoyed by his long-winded words.

In Kong Youde's mind, the entire army belonged to Kong Youde, and Hong Chengchou came here to grab military merit.

Liaoyang City

"Report to the governor that Kong Youde and Hong Chengchou have led an army of [-] troops out of Shengjing and are heading straight for Liaoyang."

Qi Jiguang's eyes lit up at that time:
"How many horses"

Scout:
"Report to the governor, about 3 horses."

Qi Jiguang:
"Explore and report again."

"Yes"

After scouting down, Qi Jiguang looked at Li Cunxiao and said with a smile:
"Well done, the purpose of the emperor is to let them cast themselves into the net. These dog slaves have come so fast."

Li Cunxiao laughed loudly:
"Captain, if the 3 horses are all cavalry, my Xuanjia iron cavalry will be useful, why don't I charge and kill for a while, haha..."

"Qi Jiguang shook his head and spread out the map:

"General Li, don't worry. This army is equipped with the highest proportion of firearms in the Dongren army. Don't be impulsive."

After Qi Jiguang finished speaking, he stopped his finger at a place on the map and shouted:
"Huang Ming."

Huang Ming immediately stood up and saluted:

"Huang Mingzai."

"Immediately take 2000 people and fifty tiger squatting cannons, set up an ambush at this place, and wait for the artillerymen of the dog traitors to pass by, and destroy their artillery for the governor."

"Yes"
