The bones of Songshan have not completely dried up, and then the famous tiger charm has been established. In the end, the wind and sand are easy to get old, and the white-headed south crosses and the south capital.

This is a poem satirizing Hong Chengchou's betrayal of the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Hong Chengchou, a native of Nan'an County, Fujian, started by suppressing peasant uprisings, but in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, he betrayed the motherland and took refuge in the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty's war to unify the whole country, he played a disgraceful role, brutally suppressing the anti-Qing struggle of the people in Jiangnan.

Emperor Chongzhen appointed Hong Chengchou as the governor of Jiliao and led 130,000 troops to resist the Qing army, but he was defeated and captured after being besieged in Songshan for half a year. People thought that he had been loyal to the country, but who expected that he had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became the highest-ranking official at that time.

There are two different versions of Hong Chengchou's surrender.

One theory is that Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty sent Fan Wencheng, a henchman of the Han people, to persuade him to surrender, but Hong Chengchou resolutely refused to surrender, claiming to be loyal to the country, saying that he could not live up to the kindness of the Ming Dynasty emperor, and would rather die of hunger strike. However, during a conversation, the dust on the beams of the house fell on Hong Chengchou's clothes, and he immediately carefully dusted off the dust. Fan Wencheng saw it in his eyes, and said to Huang Taiji: Hong Chengchou definitely doesn't want to die, even his clothes are so cherished, not to mention his own lifeHong Chengchou is not monolithic, and his seemingly unwavering belief may be shaken. Huang Taiji saw the possibility of surrender, and immediately went to visit him in person, earnestly persuaded him to surrender, and took off his mink fur and put it on Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou was greatly moved, so he expressed his willingness to surrender gratefully.

Another theory is that the Zhuang concubine of Yongfu Palace, Borzigut, was the daughter of Beile Zhaisang of the Korqin Division, and she was not only charming, but also intelligent and clever. She went to visit Hong Chengchou in person, and Hong Chengchou was immediately stunned by this beautiful, noble and charming beauty. Under the persuasion of Concubine Zhuang, Hong Chengchou was finally persuaded by her to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

The above two theories have been circulated among the people for a long time, and each has written records. Regarding the statement that Concubine Zhuang lured Hong Chengchou, some people think that it is impossible, but there are also documents that Borzigut persuaded Hong Chengchou to make great contributions, so he was made the queen by Huang Taiji. This queen dared to act and challenge the world, and later the Qing army closed the Dingding Central Plains, and she married her uncle Dorgon. Therefore, it is not surprising that she had the astonishing act of persuading Hong Chengchou to surrender. AI assistant creation season
