The Rakshasa Kingdom was actually just a kingdom at this time. In terms of status, there was still a certain gap compared to those countries with emperors in the continent. It was not until Emperor Peter the Great emerged, defeated powerful enemies such as Sweden and the Ottoman Empire, and gave himself the title of Emperor, the supreme ruler of the continental monarchy, that the Rakshasa Kingdom became a real European power.

At this moment, Tsar Alexey Mikhairovich Romanov was the father of Peter the Great. If he followed the historical development trajectory, he should have taken over most of the territory of the entire Siberia and even the Oirat tribe, laying the foundation for his son to become emperor. However, their path of expansion to the east was blocked by Jiannu, and their path of expansion to the southeast was also blocked by the Ming army.

Originally, he thought that he could send 30,000 troops to drive away the Ming army and clean up the road to expand eastward, but unexpectedly, the 30,000 troops were annihilated by the Ming army.

That was the real annihilation. According to the reward of the Cossack cavalry leaders who were lucky enough not to be killed by artillery shells, they were inexplicably surrounded by countless chariots as soon as they arrived near Lake Baikal. Then, tens of thousands of cannons were fired at once. When he got up from the ground, the battle was over. Thirty thousand troops lay all over the ground. No one except him seemed to be able to get up.

It may be a bit exaggerating to fire tens of thousands of cannons at once, but there must be thousands of cannons, otherwise it would be impossible to knock down all 30,000 people in one fell swoop.

Of course, even a few thousand cannons are enough for them to have a headache, because the Rakshasa Kingdom has only more than two thousand cannons in total, and they are basically bulky city defense cannons and siege cannons. This kind of cannon is relatively powerful, but it is not suitable for field battles. It is impossible to travel across thousands of miles to the border of the Siberian Khanate.

There is no way, their cannon casting technology is not very developed. It is okay to cast such giant cannons with heavy barrels. They can't cast lightweight field cannons with thin barrels. Even if they barely cast them, they will be a blow-out and cannot be used at all.

However, the Ming Empire was able to pull thousands of cannons to rush thousands of miles. It was obvious that the Ming Empire's artillery casting technology was stronger than theirs, and it was not a little bit stronger.

what to do?

If you can't win, negotiate!

This is the rule that all countries in the continental region have defaulted. When you think your strength is not as strong as others, then ask them for peace talks. As long as you pay a certain price, they will not fight.

I just don’t know whether the Ming Empire recognizes this rule.

Negotiation, of course.

Zhu Qizhu actually doesn't want to go to war with European countries in full swing, at least he doesn't want to go to war with others in such extreme areas.

However, before the negotiations, he had to deal with Jiannu first, because the climate here is too bad, and most of the year is the ice-cold period. If he doesn't send troops to deal with Jiannu, he won't have to fight this year.

What he unexpectedly expected was that the battle went smoothly. The 120,000 elite troops were divided into several routes. When the navy warships cooperated to attack the Jiannu's settlements, they basically did not encounter any too fierce resistance. In less than two months, Jiannu was completely defeated.

If it weren't for the news from the front line that Dorgon, Ajige, Xiaozhuang, Fulin and other important figures were all caught, he really couldn't believe that things would go so smoothly.

What's going on?

When Dorgon was taken to him, he realized that the core figure of Jiannu was already terminally ill and could not stand up.

This ending is really a bit unexpected.

Once Dorgon fell ill, Jiannu would lose his backbone. After all, Fulin is still a child at this moment, and Ajige is a reckless man. Although Xiaozhuang is smart, she is still in the palace fighting. She can't get on the real battlefield.

In other words, at the end, Jiannu was like the Ming Dynasty, inexplicably defeated in a daze.

This may be retribution.

Zhu Qizhe looked at Dorgon who was struggling to breathe on the stretcher, and he was really amused and crying.

He was stunned for a while, then asked lightly: "What else do you have to say?"

Dorgon gasped for effort and said, "It has come to this point, and the criminals have nothing to say. I only hope that the emperor will think that God has the virtue of living and let those innocent tribes go."

I'm like a tyrant?

Zhu Qizhuo just thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly, "Yes, go and explain the funeral. Remember, tell your tribe members that if anyone dares to be disobedient again, I will not be so kind."

This is already very clear. If Jiannu dares to rebel again, they will be the disaster of extermination.

Of course, he was not afraid that Jiannu would rebel again, because he had already thought that all Jiannu would be disbanded and sent to the mines opened in Liaodong, Monan and Mobei to mine. They were not allowed to slap and shoot. As for Dorgon, Ajige and other Jiannu generals, they were all handed over to Qi Jin, Ma Qiancheng and others, and dragged them to beheaded and displayed for public display!

Jiannu’s problem was solved like this, but Zhu Qizhu was not happy at all because there was a more troublesome Rakshasa Kingdom that had not been solved.

Although people requested peace talks, it does not mean that they really don’t want to fight. If he withdraws all 120,000 elite troops back to Peking and even Jinling, they are likely to take advantage of the situation and take the opportunity to provoke the battle again. At that time, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, these 120,000 elite troops cannot be withdrawn for the time being. At least, the Siberian Khanate cannot be withdrawn before it is completely taken down.

In desperation, he could only order more than 200,000 troops to work together and seize the time to build a military camp. Otherwise, once the cold winter comes, even the elite soldiers will not be able to withstand it.

In this way, Suoye City, which could originally accommodate a population of 100,000, became a large military camp. Except for the state government office and the residence of the guard officers, other places were densely packed with rows of military camps.

Before his barracks were built, the envoys from the Rakshasa Kingdom had arrived.

This time, Tsar Mikhairovic sent his important minister, Earl Stroganov, who was the great lord who was responsible for the eastward expansion. He was a well-known wealthy family in the eastern part of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and the Siberian Khanate was annexed under his leadership.

This guy was originally quite proud. After all, he once led his army to capture a Khanate of millions of square kilometers, which is extremely rare in continental history. However, when he saw the Thunder Ye City, he was instantly unable to become arrogant.

Because the stronghold built by the Ming Empire is so scary.

When they built a stronghold, they would build a castle at most, and then surrounded it with wooden lanceolas. That would be amazing. Ordinary strongholds were even wooden houses.

This Thunder Ye City is actually a huge city with a radius of several kilometers. Moreover, the city wall is extremely high, and the city wall is densely covered with Ming soldiers holding muskets, and the dark muzzles, almost one of them every few arrows.

This Ming Empire is too strong.

When he entered the city, he was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.

Because the city is densely packed with barracks, and the road is neatly lined up with artillery on both sides, I don’t know how many Ming soldiers behind the artillery are. The most terrifying thing is that these Ming soldiers carry muskets on their shoulders.

You know, all the muskets and artillery in the entire Rakshasa Kingdom are not as much as he sees this way!

He was a little desperate. The Ming Empire was too powerful. How could he fight with others?

The Zhuqi Ruo actually made the Rakshasa Kingdom understand how powerful the Ming Dynasty was. If the Rakshasa Kingdom was not tactful and insisted on competing with the Ming Dynasty for the Siberian Khanate, the consequences would not be what they could bear.

There is nothing to say about the next negotiations.

Originally, the Rakshasa Kingdom wanted to retain territory east of the Yenisei River, but Zhuqizi made a tough request that the Rakshasa Kingdom had to retreat to east of the Caucasus Mountains.

Stroganov didn't dare to argue with him at all, so he could only reluctantly agree.
