Chapter 175 Another fight against the Manchus
Not long ago, everyone judged that the Manchus were not sincere in negotiating peace. How would the regent change his mind and say that they were sincere again?

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Lu Mou sneered: "Because the Manchu Qing wanted to attack the two Hous because they wanted to tie up our hands and feet with a contract with us. So that when they besieged the liberated areas of the two Hous, we couldn't. I want to help.”

Everyone suddenly understood.

The Han people are the ones who attach great importance to the promise of a thousand pieces of gold, especially in the court of the Ming Dynasty, most of them are Donglin gentlemen.

For example, the chief and deputy chief ministers in front of them, two moral role model thinkers, once the contract is signed, even if they clearly see the Mongolian liberated areas being attacked by the Qing army, they will definitely abide by the contract and stand aside and will never send troops to rescue Mongolia. You can only sit back and watch all your previous efforts go to waste.

Everyone suddenly realized it, and Liu Zongzhou couldn't help but whisper: "Despicable."

Lu Mou faced Qian Qianyi, the Minister of Rites, and said: "This time I will ask Mr. Qian to come out and negotiate with the Manchu envoys."

Qian Qianyi replied: "The humble minister will do his duty. But please give the regent a bottom line."

Lu Mou said: "I ask Mr. Qian to use your wrangling skills and show your sincerity. You must stabilize the Manchu envoys. You must not negotiate the outcome before they send troops."

Qian Qianyi was full of confidence: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's just nonsense. We, the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, are the best at this."

"Okay, the purpose is to make the Manchus think that we are really sincere in peace talks and buy time for us to prepare for war."

Zhang Huangyan frowned and said: "Your Majesty will fight the enemy again, but only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you have a chance of winning. So, how many people will the Manchus send and what kind of offensive methods will they use?"

Li Yan stood up and said: "According to my prediction, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will send troops, but the main force came all the way from Liaodong and traveled thousands of miles. They are marching within the Qing area, so they cannot invade our Ming Dynasty. Use looting to solve logistical supplies. They must bring their own logistical supplies, so they will not send the Manchu Eight Banners Brigade into action."

In this way, the original cross talk between Lu Mou and Li Yan became a group talk.

Zhang Huangyan nodded: "Li Bingbu's analysis is right. Judging from the time of the envoys sent by the Manchu Qing this time, they were rushed in preparation. The autumn is high and the horses are fat, which is suitable for war, but the cold winter of the grassland also makes the war more difficult. It cannot last long. Therefore, they can only attack with light cavalry and end the war before the harsh winter arrives."

Li Yan interfaced: "That's right, then it's enough for the Manchus to send a war team to supervise the war, and they will definitely use the Eight Banners of Mongolia to encircle and suppress the liberated areas nearby."

Lu Mou nodded: "The two candidates are still weak. Then, we must share the pressure for them."

Li Yan said: "I will order Wu Sangui's tribe, which has already reached Datong, to go north into the grassland and contain the yellow flag behind Chahar's white flag, so that they cannot attack the second camp."

Zhang Huangyan nodded: "Please, Your Majesty, give an order to the Mongols in the north and let them deal with it themselves."

Lu Mou nodded: "And I will lead the fifth army and the cavalry army. Mr. Zhang will join the battle with me. Let's go into the grassland again, intercept the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and take the opportunity to annihilate them."

When he said this, he was full of confidence.

Then Li Yan said again: "I will ask the British prince to sit in the Ministry of War, and I will go to Shanhaiguan to harass Liaoxi so that the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty does not dare to move."

Then the three of them faced the Prince Supervisor, and Lu Mou bowed and saluted: "Please approve our request."

Faced with such a perfect plan, Zhu Cixiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it will be more trouble for our brothers. But this time when we go to the grassland, we can't take the risk of going deep alone and causing us to disappear. On this point, Zhang Aiqing."

"The minister is here."

"The Lone King grants you the right to monitor the Regent. If necessary, tie the Regent back to me."

Zhang Huangyan was excited and bowed again: "Your Majesty, I will oversee the country's decree."

Lu Mou glared at Zhang Huangyan: "How dare you."

Zhang Huangyan replied calmly: "I dare you."

"Are you older than me?" "The supervisor is older than you, the prince."

Lu Mou covered his face and wailed: "Why did I bring out another stubborn donkey?"

The whole hall burst into laughter.

Now that the Manchus' plans had been predicted, in order to stabilize the Manchus, the Ming Dynasty used the Ministry of Rites to come forward and conduct a set of genuine and fake peace negotiations with the Manchu envoys.

Qian Qianyi, the Minister of Rites, was very familiar with this matter.

In order to show its sincerity, Ming Dynasty made low demands, which made the Manchu envoys full of hope.

But always when the two parties are about to reach an agreement on a certain clause, there always appear to be small differences. So, let’s keep talking.

As a result, the Manchu and Qing missions were painfully tortured between hope and disappointment.

While they were talking here, Lu Mou took Zhang Huangyan and began to prepare the army intensively for war.

Twenty thousand cavalrymen were quietly transferred to Miyun, where they trained intensively.

The Fifth Yellow Belt Army and the Second Division of the Fourth Army secretly gathered in Chengde for pre-war emergency training.

He Fugui was appointed as the logistics manager, mobilizing food and supplies day and night, while Bi Maokang's ordnance factory urgently transferred batches of flintlock steel guns and Franco machine guns.

Because of the stubbornness of the yellow belts of the Fifth Army, they insisted on using the five-eyed machine. There was no other way, so Bi Maokang developed an upgraded version of the Suifa five-eyed machine.

Although it is a little more troublesome to operate than a flintlock gun, that's all it can do.

Li Yan, on the other hand, led the Second Army and rushed to Shanhaiguan to join King Yong and Zhao Youhu, waiting for the opportunity.

Everything is ready, just waiting for Manqing's action.

In October of the 18th year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, the Jin Yiwei Feige who was hiding in Shengjing sent a message, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was really moved.

This time came Prince Zheng Jierharang with a blue flag, and Prince Su Hauge with a white flag. With a combined force of 60,000, they marched into the grassland in a mighty manner. Along the way, he gathered another 60,000 Mongolian followers and collected logistical supplies along the way. In this way, the army reached 120,000 people. In mid-October, it arrived at the front banner of Kalaqin.

Lu Mou did not hesitate to lead the fifth army, the cavalry army, into the Daheishan Mountains of Wengniute Banner on the grassland, and directly blocked Jirhalang and Hauge.

This place is called grassland, but it is actually not a grassland but a mountainous area.

This is the northern foothills of Yanshan Mountain. The mountains are tall and steep. Lu Mou is ready to take advantage of his infantry and use the mountains to defend, hoping to kill the Qing army here.

Facing the pass of Dahei Mountain in front of him, Zhu Changxun suggested: "This is the only valley passage in and out of here. There are many places suitable for ambush. Why doesn't the prince lead us to conduct an ambush?"

Lu Mou glanced at Zhang Huangyan and said, "I'll give you a chance to show off. Go ahead." If you don't use the staff, it will be wasted.

Zhang Huangyan smiled and said: "The two princes of the Qing Dynasty who came this time are both famous generals in hundreds of battles. How could they not be prepared for our ambush and sneak attack?

Once they find out we're ambushing them, they won't come.

As long as we let them come naturally, and then fight them decisively in this only basin, as long as they are defeated and retreat, the mountain pass will be their narrow door, and the army will never be able to rush back together. When the time comes, we will join forces Chase, I want to see how far they can escape in the end if they come well. "
