Chongzhen convened a meeting in front of the emperor to discuss the matter of peace with the Qing court, and the ministers listened to the Manchu Qing initiative to negotiate peace, and they all felt excited and had no objections.

Hong Chengchou has been disheartened since the last admonition was belittled by Chongzhen, and the facts have proved that he was wrong, the Ming army was not only not divided and eaten, but the Qing court beat the defeat and sued for peace, it seems that he is far worse than Wang Qiang, and he is more and more discouraged.

He saw that the emperor was going to negotiate peace with the Qing court, and there would be no war in the northeast, so he was worried that the emperor would send him to the northwest to lead the troops, so he pretended to be sick and crooked, and went out of the class and said: "Enlighten the emperor, the Ming army has won a complete victory in the northeast this time, and Lord Wang has made great contributions, which is really terrifying." The minister is old, sick and weak, it is difficult to resist the labor of the army, and he is not called the duty of guarding the border passes, so he implores the emperor to remove the minister of the Northeast Economic Strategy of Weichen, and allows the minister to rest and recuperate, and the dog is in his last year. Chongzhen said softly: "Eh, Lord Hong is too humble, you are in your prime and you are the pillar of the country, how can you speak lightly of old age!" Besides, the more than 200,000 elites at the border still have to let a person like you be respectable, loyal and steady. Hong Chengchou's heart moved, the emperor had something to say, obviously saying that Wang Qiang was not suitable to lead the northeast garrison.

He was excited, Yuan Chonghuan's name crossed his mind, and said in his heart: "It's broken, the emperor's vinegar bottle has been overturned again, and Wang Qiang is in danger!" Hong Chengchou also heard that the Qing soldiers were shouting everywhere

The situation of "the Wang family army is coming" is obviously a discordant plan of the Qing army, and it seems that the emperor has also heard about it.

He cherished that Wang Qiang was a talent, thinking about how to protect him, so he bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that Wang Qiang and Wang are more suitable to guard the northeast border pass, and our army swept through the Qing court in the battle of Liaoxi, and the reputation of Lord Wang suppressed the enemy's courage, and the Qing army was afraid of Lord Wang. Chongzhen heard the meaning of Hong Chengchou's words, and said with a smile: "Hehe, now the imperial court wants to negotiate peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is no war at the border pass, and there is no use for Wang Qiang to stay there." Since the Qing court was afraid of him, I planned to appoint him as an envoy to negotiate peace and negotiate the demarcation of the truce. Wang Qiang is still young, and he is a talent that can be created, and I plan to transfer him to his side, make good use of him, and use him for himself. Hearing Chongzhen say this, Hong Chengchou felt a little relieved, since the emperor still let him go back to the northeast, he no longer shirked, so he said: "Weichen obeys the order." "------ said that Wang Qiang, this period of time has been in the excitement, he did not expect that the progress of the official army will be so smooth, at first he was also worried that the Qing army lured the enemy, ordered the army not to advance, but later, where the Ming army went, the Qing army was like a bird with a frightened bow, looking at the wind and fleeing, the Ming army from all walks of life attacked the city and pulled out the village, and won the battle, and the reported record has annihilated nearly 100,000 Qing troops (of course, it is a false number), and there is no trace of the Qing army in the entire Liaoxi, so he was relieved.

However, after the recovery of Liaoxi, the Ming army became more and more scattered, and it was no longer able to continue the offensive to the north, and he also received a report that the Qing army mobilized heavy troops to deploy in Fengtian and Xinmin, so he ordered to stop the march, and then gave Chongzhen a fold, asking for additional troops.

With the continuous victory of the Ming army, Wang Qiang's prestige among the military and civilians in the Northeast is rising, and he is simply praised to the sky, every day there are representatives of the squires from all over the country to come to condolences to the labor army, and the congratulatory tables, pennants, and celebration plaques that sing praises are piled up in a room, and in the praise of everyone, he himself is a little carried away.

On this day, Wang Qiang received a package sent by Li Gang, which contained a letter from Li Gang and a textbook for a military course he had written.

Wang Qiang read the letter first, and Li Gang said two things in the letter in addition to his routine greetings, one was that Wu Sangui trained his troops diligently, his military strength improved quickly, and he was rewarded by the emperor.

Another thing is that a general named Leng Feng was originally under Yuan Chonghuan, who was strong in martial arts, able to attack and defend, after Yuan Chonghuan was killed, he was disheartened, took off his military status, cut his hair and became a monk, and threw himself into the door of the monk Fakong of Enji Temple in Putuo Mountain.

He also looked through the textbook compiled by Li Gang, the content of which was detailed and comprehensive, and it was divided into many chapters, including: conscription, training, formations, stratagems, firearms, espionage, terrain, offensive battles, defensive battles, military quartermasters, etc., each chapter has a detailed introduction and explanation, and also cites a large number of ancient and modern war examples, and even the battle of the militia to kill and retreat the Qing army is also written into the book as a case.

This textbook is a thick three-volume textbook, and at first glance, it is Li Gang who has devoted a lot of effort and consulted a lot of materials to compile.

Wang Qiang sighed in his heart, this person is really a righteous man! Thinking that Leng Feng, the general recommended by Li Gang, was a suitable candidate to teach military classes, but now that he is busy with military affairs, he can't leave his post without permission to invite him, so it seems that he can only find an opportunity to talk about it.

Since Jinzhou broke the enemy, in Lan Ting's eyes, Wang Qiang has become a big hero, she is proud of having such an uncle, excited, Zhang Xiaoping began to prepare for his business house, Lan Ting has nothing to do, simply changed the outfit of his own soldiers, and surrounded Wang Qiang like a fart all day long, diligent and meticulous as a bookkeeper, Wang Qiang likes her clever and well-behaved, and it is up to her.

On this day, after Wang Qiang finished discussing with several generals, he shook his arms in the room, turned his head to relax, Lan Ting came in with a bowl of lotus seed white fungus soup, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this is what I just boiled, drink it quickly, you are tired and thin these days." Wang Qiang said with a smile: "As long as you can win the battle, no matter how tired you are, you will be happy." Lan Ting said: "No, don't talk about you, I, my uncle, and the people of Jinzhou City are all so happy as if they were celebrating the New Year." If you want to say that you are not happy, I am afraid that the only ones are those Tatar soldiers. After a pause, Lan Ting continued: "Just now in the lobby, I heard a rich businessman from Liaoyang say that now the Tatar soldiers are most afraid of you, when the Ming army attacked Liaoyang, the Qing soldiers saw your banner at the head of the city, and shouted in fright: 'Run, the Wang army is coming!'" They fled as if they were all dead, and as a result, before the Ming army reached the edge of the city, all the Tatar soldiers in the city ran away. I think, you might as well personally lead the troops into battle, fight all the way to Shengjing, and directly take the Manchu Dynasty's lair------" Wang Qiang was drinking white fungus soup beautifully, and when he heard Lan Ting's words, he suddenly remembered something, his face changed, and he interrupted Lan Ting and said: "Wait a while, what do you say the Qing army shouted?!" He said in a hurry, was choked, coughed hard, Lan Ting hurriedly stepped forward, gently patted Wang Qiang's back, and said: "Look at you, drink slowly, Qing Jun shouted: Run, Wang Jiajun is here!" What's wrong? Wang Qiang sat there in a daze, his eyes straight, cold sweat trickling down his forehead, and after a while, he said angrily: "Huang Taiji, you are ruthless enough!" Lan Ting was frightened, thinking that Wang Qiang had been hit by the magic barrier, so he shook his shoulder vigorously and said, "Uncle, uncle!" What's wrong with you? Wang Qiang came back to his senses and said with a miserable smile: "Hehe, it's nothing, the emperor's vinegar gourd should be knocked over again, maybe this time it will choke me to death." Lan Ting didn't know why, looked at Wang Qiang worriedly, and wondered in his heart: "What's wrong with the vinegar gourd?" Wang Qiang knew about the Manchu Qing's discordant plan, and it was estimated that Chongzhen would definitely be suspicious, and maybe he would find a way to rectify himself, he hid in the mansion for several days in a row, thinking hard about countermeasures, and he didn't even bother to take care of military affairs.

On this day, Hong Chengchou returned to Jinzhou by order, and Zhou Ting, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, also came, Hong Chengchou announced Chongzhen's will to commend and reward the generals of the Northeast and appoint Wang Qiang as the plenipotentiary envoy of the imperial court, and the decision to negotiate peace with the Qing court.

Wang Qiang saw that Chongzhen did not transfer himself back to Beijing, and his heart was slightly solid, and all the generals were rewarded, and they were all happy.

Hong Chengchou regained command of the Northeast Frontier Army and immediately readjusted the deployment of troops, but because the defense area was too large, the military headquarters successively transferred nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses from the northeast to support the northwest front, and the defense of the northeast border was already full of loopholes and was in vain.

At this point, Huang Taiji's strategic plot to show weakness and sue for peace, allowing the Han people to kill each other and consume their strength has been fully realized.
