How did Manchu's "honey trap" make the Ming Dynasty collapse?

Knowing the reason, I volunteered to play the honey trap myself. Although Huang taiji felt cuckolded, he was generous and knew that state affairs were more important than family affairs, so he resolutely allowed to play.

In A.D. 164 1 year, that is, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming and Qing Dynasties held the last general meeting outside Shanhaiguan, which decided the fate of both sides and ended the Songshan War, which lasted for three years. The Qing army won a total victory, and the Ming army was not only wiped out130,000 people, but also relied on by Emperor Chongzhen as the mainstay of Daming Jiangshan, becoming a hero model that scholars all over the world yearned for, and Hong Chengchou, governor of Hebei and Liao in the Ming Dynasty, was martyred. When Emperor Chongzhen heard the news, he dedicated a memorial service to Hong Chengchou for seven days in Beijing, and made a memorial service. Many famous students wrote poems and essays in tears to commemorate Lord Hong, and Daming was a terrible country. It wasn't until several years later that the Regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dourgen, entered Beijing, that kind people suddenly discovered that the adult Hong, who was loved by the whole people, didn't die, but became a guide to lead the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty to devour the mountains and rivers of Daming Wan Li!

Hong Chengchou, Yan Yan,No. Hengjiu, was born in A.D. 1593, that is, in the 21st year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, and was born in Nan 'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. Although Hong Chengchou was born in a scholarly family, he was studious and well-read as a teenager, showing his great ambition to rule the country and conquer the world. His uncle and first teacher Hong recognized the comment that "the home is thousands of miles away and the country is a stone"

In the forty-fourth year of Wanli, Hong Chengchou, who had been studying hard for ten years, went to Beijing to take the exam. He is a scholar in a high school. First, he was awarded the director of Jiangxi Qing official department of the Ministry of Punishment, and successively served as foreign minister, doctor, minister of punishments, Zhejiang scholar, and Shaanxi senator. After breaking the rule, he was promoted to the governor of Yansui and began to send troops to suppress the peasant rebels.

Although Hong Chengchou was a scholar, he managed the army well, suppressed the peasant uprising army and won many battles. He not only captured and killed Gao Yingxiang alive, but also defeated Li Zicheng many times. At that time, he praised Hong Chengchou's army and called it "Jun Hong". In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou was promoted to the governor of Trilateral Shaanxi. In the seventh year, he served as the minister of war and was in charge of Trilateral military affairs. In the 11th year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou ambushed Nanyuan in Tongguan and defeated the peasant rebels in Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng's fiasco only led more than 100 people to flee into Shangluo mountain area, which made the surging peasant uprising at that time enter a low tide. The battle of Nanyuan was the only and last victory of the Ming army against the peasant rebels.

In September of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Qing army outside Shanhaiguan broke through the Great Wall line guarded by Wu Aheng, assistant minister of the Ming Ministry of War, and invaded North China. The whole family of Trilateral Governor Sun Chengzong, the anti-Qing minister, died heroically, and Xuanda Governor Lu Xiangsheng was martyred in Julu. Ming troops all over the country dare not fight. The Qing army captured more than 40 cities in North China, even invaded Jinan, and captured Emperor Chongzhen's cousin, King De. It was not until March of the following year that he returned to Liaodong with a large number of beautiful women and property. Emperor Chongzhen, like a frightened bird, had to recruit Hong Chengchou from the front line of the civil war to lead his "Jun Hong" diligent king. After Hong Chengchou entered Beijing, he was appointed Governor of Hebei and Liao, and presided over the front-line operations against the Qing army. It took three years to launch the Songshan War against the Qing army. The battle of Songshan ended with the defeat of the Ming army and the victory of the Qing army.

The battle of Songshan changed the contrast of military power between Ming and Qing dynasties, and became a turning point in the decline of Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of Manchu Dynasty. The arrest of Hong Chengchou put the Ming Dynasty at a disadvantage of losing its effective military commander. At this time, the peasant rebels of Li Zicheng and Zhang in the Central Plains also developed rapidly in the Songshan War in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the Ming army, which was originally on the offensive in the Central Plains, lost the initiative. Under the attack of the Qing army and the peasant uprising army, the Ming Dynasty was on the eve of the stormy collapse. Therefore, the failure of the Battle of Songshan was a serious and fatal military failure for the Ming Dynasty, and Hong Chengchou, as the governor of this war, was undoubtedly to blame.

After Hong Chengchou was captured, Huang Taiji, the Qing emperor with long-term ambition to March into the Central Plains, knew that he knew all about the geography, material, folk customs and social conditions of the Central Plains, and even more about military protection. He took him for his own use, took good care of him, bite the hand that feeds him, and sent people to persuade him to surrender. However, although lobbyists were constantly sent to persuade Hong Chengchou to shave his head and change clothes, Hong Chengchou refused one by one and went on a hunger strike.

Huang taiji was unwilling after several setbacks, and wrote a letter saying that someone could ask for Hong Chengchou's reward. Under the four questions, there will be brave people. Hong Chengchou's old servant, Jin Sheng, reported to Huang Taiji that his master was strong-willed, both rigid and flexible, but he loved beauty all his life, so he might as well start from here. Huang Taiji immediately ordered the collection of beautiful women to be sent to Hong Chengchou, but Hong Chengchou didn't care about these beautiful women at all, and still went on a hunger strike to death. Huang taiji returned to his bedroom to rest, and there was nothing he could do. He kept sighing, and the cautious imperial concubine Da Yuer came forward to ask about this situation. After learning the reason, she volunteered to play the honey trap herself. Although Huang taiji felt cuckolded, he was generous and knew that state affairs were more important than family affairs, so he resolutely allowed to play.

This big girl is the beautiful teenager Borzigit, who was famous in the Qing Dynasty, and later became a household name, Zhuangfei and sourdrang queen. That evening, Da Yuer dressed up, took a pot of ginseng chicken soup and sneaked out of the palace to the cell where Hong Chengchou was held. Seeing Hong Chengchou sitting in danger with his eyes closed, he said softly and sweetly, General Hong, it is admirable that you are so loyal to Daming Mountain. Even if the general goes on a hunger strike, isn't it just a sip of water and he dies? General, you'd better have a drink Hong Chengchou looked at this charming beauty, listened to this charming and gentle words, and smelled this warm and attractive fragrance, and his mind suddenly moved. The beautiful woman kept persuading her to drink, and at the same time supported her lips with a pot. Hong Chengchou didn't know that this "water" was ginseng chicken soup, so he took a sip. Beauty and gently encouraged one after another, Hong Chengchou even drank a few mouthfuls. In this way, after seeing the beauty in front of her, Hong Chengchou immediately gave up the original reserve and gradually fell into the peach trap. After a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup, a poor and unyielding hero, without a horse, was buried in the battlefield, sacrificed under the ropes of knives and axes, and fell under the pomegranate skirt of a beautiful concubine in the Qing Dynasty.

The next day, Huang Taiji went to the ancestral temple, and Hong Chengchou stood without kneeling. Huang taiji asked about changes in temperature. Seeing Hong Chengchou's thin clothes, he immediately took off his mink and put it on Hong Chengchou and said, "Is your husband cold?" Hong Chengchou stared for a long time and could not help but sigh: "The Lord of the world is really destined!" So kneel down and kowtow. Then I shaved my hair, changed my clothes and joined the Qing Dynasty. Huang taiji was overjoyed and said, "I am very happy to be a teacher today!" " So Hong Chengchou was entrusted with an important task. Later, it was learned that the beauty who advised the kettle to drink that night was the favorite of the Qing emperor, Zhuang Fei Da Yuer, and Hong Chengchou was greatly frightened. However, Huang Taiji and Zhuang Fei treated him as always, as if it had never happened. Hong Chengchou became more and more grateful. Since then, he has been unswervingly helping the Qing Dynasty.

Hong Chengchou was an able minister in the Ming Dynasty, with a high position and a good reputation. He relied on the emperor and was respected and loved by his colleagues and subordinates. The defeat of Songshan shocked the whole country. Everyone thought Hong Chengchou would die. Emperor Chongzhen was heartbroken, suspended from school for three days, and offered sixteen altars to princes for seven days. On May 10, he paid a memorial service in person, and made it clear to the world that he made an essay on mourning for the flood. This shows the dependence and expectation of the Ming Dynasty on Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing court under the temptation of the Qing Dynasty's honey trap, which not only dealt a serious blow to the morale of the Ming Dynasty against the Qing army, but also gave the Qing army a leading general who could quickly annex the Ming Dynasty. Since then, when the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, Hong Chengchou played an important role in the confrontation with the Ming army and the surrender of the Ming generals.

No wonder later generations said that Hong Chengchou's contribution to the founding of the Qing Dynasty was the first among Han officials, and even Wu Sangui, who was "as proud as a beauty", was hard to reach! Hong Chengchou was deeply loved before the Ming Dynasty, and rose from a scholar to the position of commander in chief of the three armed forces. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty was sorry for the people all over the world, but it was never sorry for Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou succumbed to the temptation of the honey trap, fell at the feet of foreign beauties, surrendered and rebelled, attacked the old country, and spared no effort to help the Qing Dynasty exterminate the anti-Qing people. Hong Chengchou's cruel treatment of his compatriots in his old country naturally attracted people's attention. Someone quietly posted a couplet on Hongfu Gate. The first couplet was "1234567". The second couplet is "filial piety, faithfulness, courtesy and sincerity", which is a metaphor for "forgetting eight * * *", which is extremely ironic. Even now it seems that the demise of the Ming Dynasty is the general trend, but Hong Chengchou's selling herself to the Manchu Dynasty is undoubtedly a traitor. So it is not difficult to understand why China * * gnashed her teeth and hated Hong Chengchou in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
