In the wilderness outside Moscow, the Mongolian army from afar formed camps and camped outside the city, and surrounded Moscow tightly. The long trenches and trenches completely surrounded the city. The central tent of one of the camps was brightly lit all night.

This is the tent of the central army of the Mongolian Khan. Dorgon carefully examined the topographic map in the tent. Several generals led the army stood behind him without saying a word. The tent was surprisingly quiet, showing the tense atmosphere before the war.

Finally, Dorgon raised his head:

"Yuri, I ask you, how many soldiers have you sent in the Minsksmolensk area to the west. This is where our army and the Poles confront each other head-on. If there is any mistake, it will endanger the base camp!"

"Returning to the Great Khan, I understand that in Smolensk, I sent 30,000 elite cavalry. Even if Jan Sobesky led the army, our army would be invincible."

Yuri Khmelnikki, the great Cossack chief, replied loudly.

"Well, no, we bring hundreds of thousands of troops to the scene. How can we only release 30,000 people in the place facing the enemy head-on? As long as Yan Sobesky's reinforcements are eliminated, Alexei will be desperate! Let's do this, and then 30,000 infantry will be transferred from the right-wing army and you will be in command. In short, as long as Yan Sobesky comes, he will not only defeat him, but also have to severely damage him. He must destroy Alexei's hope!"

When he finished speaking, Dorgon felt uncomfortable!

Originally, according to his plan, he should negotiate with Alexei and then withdraw his troops, but who would have thought that the reinforcements from Jan Sobesky, coupled with his own failure to attack, Alexei I saw hope. What upset him even more was another thing Istanbul was occupied by the Ming army, the Ottomans were defeated, and the Sultan was also dead...

As soon as Dorgon thinks of this, he even feels that his ending seems to be similar to the Ottoman Sultan in the future. If the Ottoman country is destroyed, how long will it take for the Great Mongolia to go?

He was anxious. He didn't want to be attacked from both sides, so he had to negotiate with the Rakshasa people before he could focus on guarding against the Ming army. Even now the Ming army has reached the doorstep of his home. In the north, the Ming people who came from Siberia have occupied a large area of ​​land. Whether they are Ming troops or not, it doesn't matter whether they are Ming troops. The most important thing is that they are Ming people!

Even if they only recruited a large number of Rakshasa men as soldiers, if they fought, they would still be the army of the Ming Dynasty!

When Dorgon was deploying one by one, trying to hit the Poles head-on and then forcing Alexey to negotiate, Hong Chengchou hurriedly walked in.

After everyone left, Hong Chengchou hurriedly took out a memorial and said.

"The Great Khan, General Yili urgently reported that Chen Zizhuang, the governor of Guanxi of Ming Dynasty, submitted a letter of state to me, and the Ming Dynasty intends to sign a treaty with our Great Mongolia..."

"What! Get the memorial quickly!"

Dorgon said in surprise.

He was so anxious that he took the memorial and looked through it carefully, and then said in surprise.

"Mingguo actually wants to sign a treaty with me, which is a great thing!"

"Khan, the Ming Dynasty's request was first to immigrate and second to trade. This was nothing. Even the external legal power was reasonable. Besides, in the Western Regions, even if there was no external legal power, the Yili General could not control the Ming Dynasty's immigration. However, this right to build roads was not a light gift. Moreover, the right to build roads that Ming Dynasty wanted was not only to build railways, but also to attach the affiliated areas along the railway. If Khan, if he allowed him to build roads, it would take less than twenty years, he would be afraid that the railway would be built to our hinterland. At that time, as long as the Ming Dynasty was willing, he could transport troops by train at any time. At that time, the Great Mongolia would be in danger!"

After Hong Chengchou said this, Dorgon was silent. How could he not know the threat of the railway? Although he had never seen the railway, the spies and students sent to the Ming Dynasty over the years had already written the train clearly in secret letters. That thing is really a powerful weapon for the country!

However, Dorgon did not refuse immediately. He vaguely felt that this matter might not be a chance for him!

Although it seems that there are many risks, if a treaty is signed with the Ming Kingdom, it may not be impossible to get a glimmer of hope.

But, is the Ming Dynasty reliable?

However, Dorgon thought again, since the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to sign a treaty, maybe it was because they really didn't want to fight in the north and south. After all, they had just captured the Ottoman and needed time to recuperate!

If the Ming Dynasty really intends to sign a treaty, it may not be a bad thing for Mongolia. Thinking of this, Dorgon spoke:

"Well, the reason is this, but the Ming Dynasty may really want to negotiate with us. Think about it, they just fought with the Ottomans, and it would be a matter of three or five years to swallow such a large territory. I guess they have been eating for at least ten years, so he wanted to make a move on our side. This is a good thing for us. At least we signed this treaty, no matter what, we can take a breath, right?"

"But Khan, this Ming Dynasty has ulterior motives!"

Hong Chengchou's words made Dorgon sigh.

"Mingguo has ulterior motives, but at present, do we have any other choice?"

After saying this, Dorgon continued.

"Hong Chengchou, if we reject the Ming Kingdom now, I can guarantee that within two years, the Ming army will be invading us. Although we are aggressive here, the victory and defeat of fighting the Ming army is really unpredictable! The Ottoman looks strong, but in just a few months, the country is lost, and even the Sultan has asked others to kill, and the Prime Minister surrenders the Ming people, hey..."

With a long sigh, Dorgon's heart was filled with a miscellaneous array of five flavors. He knew that Mingguo had no good intentions, but he had no choice at all.

Either compromise or start a war.

The former can take more than ten years, but what about the latter?

If the Emperor of Ming was rejected, the Emperor of Ming, who was so angry that he would be in a state of anger, would be attacked.

fight!

Dorgon is not afraid, but what if he can't win?

"It's a day to delay now!"

Listening to the words of Dahan, since Dahan's will has been issued, I can't say anything if I want to say no to let me go. Cough, please admit it, and wherever I go, Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly and said:

"Since the Khan has the order, then that's what we do."

Dorgon nodded and said.

"Let's do this, you go to Yili in person to negotiate with Chen Zizhuang. This road can be repaired, but the road cannot pass through Yili. As for how to repair and how to repair it, you can talk to them..."

The road is not open to Yili. In Dorgon's opinion, such concessions are already great enough and can almost satisfy the Ming people. Moreover, negotiations have always been like this. One party asks for a price everywhere, and the other party bargains. As they are talking, they can naturally become a price that both parties can satisfy.

The reason why Hong Chengchou was asked to negotiate was because he was good at it.

"If they are not happy, make more concessions on the affiliated areas. Anyway, the Western Regions are almost their territory. We will sooner or later throw away that place. No matter how big the concessions are, there is no problem!"

The words of the Khan made Hong Chengchou nodded deeply. In fact, according to their ideas, from Mongolia to the Western Regions, they had to give up in the end. Now they were just using the territory that they had to give up to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. It was no big deal.

Even in Hong Chengchou's opinion, if the Ming Dynasty forced the road construction, General Yili would probably have no choice. He would have less than 8,000 troops and horses in his hand, and he was stationed in Yili. There was no one in the middle of thousands of miles from Yili to Hami. In those places, the Ming Dynasty occupied whatever he wanted and did whatever he wanted.

"What the Khan said is that in this way, at least they can be stabilized in the Western Regions first, and as for the future, they will slowly plan for it!"

Hong Chengchou asked again.

"Where is the Rakshasa people?"

"Rakshasa people..."

After thinking about it, Dorgon said again.

"Ben Khan wants to join Alexei and ask the eldest prince to marry his eldest daughter Sophia Alexeievna. What do you think?"

What!

Looking at Dahan in surprise, Hong Chengchou said in surprise.

"Let the eldest prince marry the eldest daughter of the Tsar!"

"Yes, let the eldest prince marry Sophia Alexeyevna. Although she is younger, it's no big deal. The most important thing is that after the eldest prince marrying Sophia, if there is any change in the future, we can have a way to get it..."

Although the Khan did not say it clearly, Hong Chengchou also heard what the Khan meant. He married the eldest daughter of the Tsar, not to ease the relationship with Rakshasa, but to use Sophia's name to regain Rakshasa in the future.

"Khan, if we take the initiative to withdraw our troops and sign a treaty with the Rakshasa people, the Poles will be vacant and not only do they have a waste of time, but also let the Rakshasa people get a bargain. When we come to Moscow again next time, it will not be certain whether they are willing to send troops again!"

Hong Chengchou thought for a while and then said.

"From my opinion, you might as well take the place we captured in Western Ukraine as a gala. That place used to belong to Poland. Now if it belongs to Rakshasa, it will inevitably create a gap between the two countries. Once we retreat, the Poles will definitely be dissatisfied with the Rakshasa people. When we fight Rakshasa next time, they will not only not send troops, but they will even be happy to see Rakshasa destroy the country!"

As smart as Hong Chengchou, how could he not guess Dorgon's thoughts? He was so proficient in conspiracy and tricks. This is the survival rule that must be mastered in the ups and downs of the officialdom.

In order to support Khmernitsky, Dorgon sent troops to attack Poland. The result of the war was that Eastern Ukraine, on the east bank of the Dnieper River, was officially incorporated into the territory of "Mongolia", and the Cossack Emirates became Dorgon's vassal.

However, in addition to Eastern Ukraine, they also seized a large area of ​​land in Western Ukraine. Now Hong Chengchou wants to make that land a tribute, to put it bluntly, it is to provoke the conflict between Poland and Rakshasa.

"Then let's cut the land to him!"

Dorgon sneered.

"These Christians are saying that we are pagans, but they fight themselves even more powerfully. Since they have hugged each other this time, we will take a step back. I don't believe it anymore. They can hug each other every day, and when their dog bites, we will do it."

Everything is just a conspiracy. When it comes to playing with conspiracies, Westerners have never been the opponent of the East. However, for Dorgon, compared to Rakshasa, he was more concerned about the East and was worried about the Ming Dynasty.

Hong Chengchou had little pomp. Even when he was a Cabinet Grand Secretary, he did not create a complete set of ceremonial guards and gongs in front of him, and held signs such as "avoidance". It was not that he was close to the people, but because the negotiation time was tight.

Along the way, he rode a four-wheeled spring carriage, and Hong Chengchou walked east under the guards of hundreds of guards. There was a large group of carriages, with a total of as many as five or six hundred people.

This kind of pomp is not small.

For Hong Chengchou, who was over 70 years old, he had been running around all the way. When he arrived in Yili, he was almost exhausted. Before he could understand the situation, the general of Yili reported that Anxi Governor Chen Zizhuang had already had Yili.

After resting for a night, Hong Chengtao went to pay homage to Chen Zizhuang the next day. He walked out of the official sedan chair, recognized Chen Zizhuang at a glance, bowed and smiled:

"Qiutao, after many years of separation, I didn't expect to meet again here."

"It's really fate."

Chen Zizhuang didn't say much nonsense, he refused to have any friendship with Hong Chengchou.

In fact, they knew each other. After all, Hong Chengchou was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli, while Chen Zizhuang was a Tanhua in the 47th year of Wanli, a Guangdong native and a Fujian native. They were familiar with each other, and they could even be friends, but Hong Chengchou's reputation was really bad. Even his brothers and relatives in his hometown in Fujian were implicated by him and exiled to Nanyang.

If it weren't for the Holy Order, Chen Zizhuang wouldn't have met him here at all.

Seeing that Chen Zizhuang was unwilling to reminisce about the past with him, Hong Chengchou said:

"Oh, I am ordered by the Khan to come to negotiate the matter of the covenant with Qiutao. The Khan sincerely and sincerely wants to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty. Any acceptable conditions are acceptable!"

"That's great. I, the Ming Dynasty, never force others to do anything, haha, sir, please."

Chen Zizhuang said with a smile.

Soon, the two sides negotiated directly in the lobby of the hotel where Chen Zizhuang lived. Chen Zizhuang was not polite and went straight to the road as soon as he came up.

"Negotiation is your Majesty's intention, so let's not go around the corner. In just one sentence, it's okay to sign a treaty, but it's not realistic to not blame the past, but your Majesty can promise not to send troops westward within twenty years..."

Because the treaty had been signed before, Chen Zizhuang did not give Hong Chengchou a chance to refuse, but instead told him directly that you were here to sign.

"Immigration, business, and Da Khan had no objection, but this Da Khan thought that he should have made some changes..."

Before Hong Chengchou could finish speaking, Chen Zizhuang said.

"Modify one or two? How to modify it? We say we are here to negotiate, but in fact, the conditions are there, you only have two choices, either sign or not!"

Then Chen Zizhuang said with a gloomy expression,
Chapter completed!
