Hong Chengchou was the highest-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty and was called the first hero in the Qing Dynasty. The reasons for Hong Chengchou's surrender are as follows: First, Chongzhen was autocratic, stingy and suspicious, and ungrateful. Loyal ministers are loyal to Daming, and Tu Zhongchen is like a pig and a dog. The fate of Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chuanting made Hong shudder.
Huang taiji's military skills are far above Chongzhen. The Qing Dynasty under his leadership was full of vigor and vitality. Officials in the Qing Dynasty had a bright future, and Hong Chengchou's psychological balance gradually fell to the Qing Dynasty.

Second, Hong Chengchou was captured and held in Sanguan Temple in Shengjing Palace. He doesn't eat or drink every day, greets his ancestors for eight generations, and hopes to die soon. Official personal statement of Huang Taiji, who sent Hong Chengchou to the same dynasty in Ming Dynasty.
One day when Fan Wencheng was trying to persuade him, a piece of swallow mud fell from the beam and landed on Hong's clothes. Hong Chengchou gently brushed away. After reading it, Fan Wencheng reported to Huang Taiji: "Chengchou will not die. At this time, he still cherishes his clothes, let alone his own life? "
Huang taiji agrees with Fan Wencheng's judgment on Hong Chengchou, and is even more magnanimous to Hong Chengchou. One day, when Huang Taiji saw that Hong Chengchou's clothes were thin, he immediately took off his mink and put it on Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou was greatly moved.
Third, Hong Chengchou served as an official in the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years, and also fought with the peasant army and the Qing army in Li Zicheng for many years. Compared with the three political forces of Ming, Qing and Dashun, Hong Chengchou understood that it was the Qing Dynasty that finally unified the country.
There are two kinds of folklore: 1. One day, Hong Chengchou was lying on a bare bed, hungry and thirsty. The delicious Zhuang Fei came to the front and said that she was a beautiful mother and talked about loving her wife and concubine. Hong Chengchou was very upset after hearing this. ZhuangFei took the opportunity to pour ginseng soup into Hong's mouth and put her hands on Hong's shoulders. Hong Chengchou trembled, unconsciously holding ZhuangFei's hand tightly. Zhuang Fei deliberately asked, "Does General Hong have anything to say?" ……
This absurd legend may be true, because in the history of Manchu tribes, if a woman can subdue heroes, people will not despise them. On the contrary, she will get more love and respect from everyone.
2. After Hong Chengchou was captured, he just wanted to die quickly. Seeing that the surrender was invalid, Huang Taiji let him go. On his way home, Hong Chengchou met his servant, who told him that now the whole country recognizes that he died for his country. If he comes back alive, the court will definitely plead guilty and the whole family will be killed. In desperation, Hong Chengchou decided to return to Shengjing and defected to Huang Taiji.
