Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 174: What does it mean when the Manchus and Qing Dynasties seek peace?

Faced with the good news about the civil affairs of the regent's brother, the supervisor Zhu Cixi was a little proud: "My brother has received good news one after another, and here, brother, I have also received good news frequently. When you were no longer here, Ping Xibo sent good news, and he launched again. The attack on Yuan Zongdi finally defeated Yuan Zongdi. Although he was not completely wiped out, he was driven into Shanxi. The channel to march into the northwest is opened in the spring of next year."

Lu Mou was overjoyed: "This is great. With this, our counterattack against the rogue bandits will begin."

"There is also good news, that is, Marquis Zhongyi and Marquis Dongyang reported that they have established a firm foothold in Mongolia and have gathered no less than three million herders. This time, there are thirty marquises and two county kings who have applied to the court. Bit."

Lu Mou was even more happy: "This may be the reason why Wu Sangui dared to take the initiative. From then on, the threat to the grassland north of Xuanda has been lifted."

"The third joy is that Dorgon, the regent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, sent envoys to Beijing to ask for peace."

Upon hearing the news, the excitement on Lu Mou's face disappeared instantly.

Zhu Cixi felt the change in his brother's face: "Brother, is there something wrong?"

Lu Mou thought for a while and asked: "Brother, what do you mean by negotiating for peace?"

"This is a big matter. Brother, I don't dare to make the decision, so I asked my father for instructions. My father said that we brothers should study and decide on this matter."

Lu Mou nodded: "My father is still unwilling to negotiate peace with the Manchus, and it is impossible for us to negotiate peace with the Manchus. The Manchus and Han are not at odds with each other, so I have to prepare for a fight."

Zhu Cixiang frowned: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty owns Liaodong and Mongolia, with a population of more than 30 million. It is already in a state that cannot be controlled for a while. Last time, brother, you wiped out 60,000 of them, which made them fear us. This time, we just take advantage of this If we have the opportunity, we can negotiate a treaty that is beneficial to us, and then we, brothers and sons, will do our best to deal with the bandits and completely restore the order of the Ming Dynasty. Then we will turn back and slowly try to take advantage of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, wouldn't it be good?"

Lu Mou shook his head: "The last time we fought against the Manchus, although the beating hurt them, it only scratched their skin. It made them slightly afraid of us, but it doesn't mean they are afraid of us."

At this time, the British Duke intervened: "The regent's analysis is right. Now the Manchus, the Manchu, Han and Mongolian tribes and the Eight Banners, plus the Korean army that betrayed the Ming Dynasty and became a vassal of the Manchu Qing, it is not an exaggeration to say that the total number of soldiers is no less than one million. The loss of 60,000 yuan is really not a big deal to them. In addition, the regent Dorgon is just arrogant and arrogant, and they definitely have no sincere intention to negotiate peace."

Liu Zongzhou also thought it was right: "Building slaves peeked at our Ming Dynasty. Since the time of Huang Taiji, it has been a national policy to build slaves. If Dorgon changes the national policy without authorization, his status will not be guaranteed. Therefore, the veteran also believes that Manchuria Qinghe and we suddenly proposed peace talks, which was deceptive."

The rest of the people nodded.

Zhu Cixiang frowned: "Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty has no sincerity to negotiate peace with us, why did they send an envoy? Do they want to use the same method we used to treat them to buy time? What is their purpose of buying time?"

Lu Mou and Li Yan looked at each other, and then said in unison: "It seems that we are going to fight."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

At this time, Zhang Huangyan, who was sitting at the bottom, saw that the atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed, so he boldly leaned forward and said: "Wei Chen believes that the regent and Li Bingbu's judgment is correct, but there is a deviation."

Because he already got along well with Lu Mou and Li Yan and became friends between teachers and students, Zhang Huangyan dared to refute them.

Such a style and such courage to speak out need support.

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "Then what does the champion think?"

Zhang Huangyan stood up, saluted everyone, and then faced Lu Mou: "Please show me the map."

Lu Mou ordered: "Get on the map."

Several young eunuchs hurriedly brought up the screen. On the screen was a complete picture of the Ming Dynasty and its surroundings. Seeing Zhang Huangyan looking at him again, Lu Mou understood. He was pleased and praised, and ordered again: "Take out the map of Mongolia drawn by this king."

The little eunuch quickly changed the map.

Then Zhang Huangyan stood in front of the map and said to everyone: "Prince Wang and Li Bingbu predicted the purpose of the Manchu and Qing peace talks. They were delaying our Ming Dynasty and preparing to launch a war. But the students believed that this would be a war that was not In the war against us, their target must be the Mongolian liberated areas of Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, the two marquises."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Mou and Li Yan nodded in agreement. This made Zhang Huangyan even more confident.

Zhu Cixi smiled and asked, "Why?"

Zhang Huangyan saluted Zhu Cihong again.

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "This is not the official court, so there is no need to be formal and polite."

Zhang Huangyan agreed and began to hold the baton and pointed at Mongolia's Wengniute Banner, Mongolia's Chahar Zhengbai Banner, and Mongolia's Chahar Zhenglan Banner: "This time, the two old marquises led the troops to rescue these three The herdsmen in the area now seem to have established a firm foothold and are expanding to the surrounding areas. This is the core area of ​​the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Mongolia. If the two princes are allowed to develop, it will shake the entire Mongolia. In the end, it can still Isolate the western part of Central and Mongolia, as well as Simon as a whole, from the rule of the Qing Dynasty."

Everyone nodded.

"The liberated areas in Lianghou have become a huge hidden danger to the Manchus and Mongols. The traitor Hong Chengchou will not understand the principle that in order to resist foreign aggression, one must first pacify the interior. In addition, they suffered a loss last time, and they will definitely treat the Ming Dynasty. There was a new understanding. They knew that Li Chuang had gone south, and the capital of Zhili was already safe. If the liberated areas of Lihou Hou were added, then the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty would expand. Not only the population, but also the horses were the key. Not only did they have to be afraid The liberation of the herdsmen in the second period has created the potential of starting a prairie fire, and I am even more afraid that our Ming Dynasty will obtain enough war horses.

Because the best way to deal with cavalry is still cavalry. As long as our Ming Dynasty obtains a steady stream of war horses, coupled with our Ming Dynasty's huge economic potential, as long as we are given a period of time, driven by the wise emperor, the calm supervisor, and the extremely capable regent's troika, Ming Dynasty will It will definitely become stronger and faster step by step. They should understand that the Ming Dynasty would never allow the Manchus to establish their country, and their determination to regain Liaodong would never waver.

To this end, they must use a sharp knife to cut through the mess, eliminate the liberated areas, and stabilize Mongolia before the grasslands have truly grown. "

The officials looked at Zhang Huangyan and took pictures of the father and son, but they smiled bitterly in their hearts.

In fact, two carriages with these brothers working together are enough, three? Maybe in the blink of an eye that old car came out and took Daming away in the blink of an eye.

The Great Emperor, a good Emperor is a person who is sick and unable to manage politics. If he wants to be well, what's the point?

However, we have to admire this young man's strategic vision and political sensitivity. Everyone unanimously commented in their hearts that this time Enke really gave Ming Dynasty a talent, and this boy has a bright future.

This has nothing to do with being able to suck up, this has to do with ability.

Lu Mou stood up and said: "Last time, I severely damaged the three banners on the left and right sides of Karaqin, but I only achieved my goal and returned with a shallow attack."

There was a good-natured laugh from below.

"This time the two princes have occupied the two banners of Mongolia, but they will not leave. This poses a great threat to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. So as Mr. Zhang said, the enemy is absolute and he does not dare to let the two princes gain a foothold in Mongolia. Infinitely Strong. They will definitely send a large army to attack. At least, they will drive the two candidates out of the grassland."

Zhang Huang said: "What the prince said is true."

At this time, Lu Mou frowned and said: "According to this logical reasoning, I am sure that the Manchu and Qing envoys who came to the capital to negotiate peace with us this time are sincere."
