The Russian mission was much smaller than the Dutch. The order of the Netherlands to send Beijing to Beijing was also enthusiastic to send its own mission. What they wanted was the opposite of the Dutch. The Russian princes, who had been pursuing expansion policies for centuries, urgently needed to open up a new territory. In the West, they weakened Ukraine and Poland, and Russia annexed all Polish territories east of the Diber, but soon, Russia received warnings from powerful countries including Austria, Spain, Sardinia, France, Sweden, etc. If Russian soldiers crossed the Diber, Russia would pay the price for it.

Tsar Diodor III chose to retreat. With the intervention of many kingdoms, Russia was bound in the space east of Dibe and east for a long time without advancing eastward. However, the princes needed territory and serfs, and His Majesty of the Tsar also needed a large amount of land to expand his territory and influence. Since breaking away from the rule of the Mongols, the Principality of Moscow was like an old war machine, constantly adhering to the most crazy expansion strategy. Any Tsar, if you cannot add a piece of land to this empire, will be regarded as humiliation and will accompany you for your life.

The Russian princes who had been freed from the Western Front were unwilling to waste their time. They found a new goal. In their south, an empire had just risen. In the battle between the Manchus and the people of the world, the Russians quickly occupied a piece of land near the estuary of the Nebchu River, a tributary of the Shileka River, east of Lake Baikal. According to their tradition, they quickly formed two strongholds in Nebchu and Yaksa. In the next decade, Russia seemed to have calmed a lot until the arrival of the Dutch mission.

Tsar Diodor III learned from the Dutch mission that the Qing Empire faced, and immediately became excited. This was another good opportunity to show its power. Diodor III immediately sent a delegation to Beijing with the Dutch mission. They needed intelligence and information they needed to prepare. Once there was a slight opportunity, Tsar Diodor planned to launch a war to expand territory without hesitation.

The members of the Tsar's mission were very low-key. They just followed the Dutch carefully and kept observing all the information of the empire to judge whether Russia was capable of launching a war.

A month later, the Dutch and Russians crossed the Yangtze River and arrived in Nanchang. Here, they saw soldiers inside and outside the city, and countless camps were scattered around them. There were bursts of shouts and killing sounds inside the camp, which was extremely spectacular.

When he arrived at the Nanchang city gate, several sects reported, an official immediately came out to greet him. A group of Qing soldiers surrounded them to the Nanchang Prefecture. Oboi sat on the chair of the Limu Grand Master in the head with a golden sword. He asked a few blue-eyed envoys to sit down one by one. Goshha presented them with tea cups. A few days ago, Oboi had received a secret decree, admitting that the Dutch had benefited the Qing Dynasty and let him do the best of the guests and hosts. Since his retreat, Oboi has restrained a lot. If it were in the past, he would not have cared about the emperor's son.

"His Excellency General, your army is truly majestic.

"The Dutch envoy Kotler unexpectedly spoke a skilled Chinese and nodded to Oboi.

Oboi's face twitched twice. He really didn't know how to deal with the reception of guests. Finally, he nodded and raised his most concerned question with one shot: "I heard that the Netherlands had fought with Nanming in Nanyang?"

Kotler nodded awkwardly. This general was too rude. This matter was like a tumor in the hearts of all the Dutch people. However, Oboi wanted to go over and stab: "Yes, General, the strength of the Ming Navy is very strong, and this is not the point. According to our experience, the real fear of the Ming Dynasty is its expansion speed. Five years ago, except for the Spanish, there was no warship in Nanyang that could be comparable to Dutch warships. We had never even heard of the existence of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, but five years later...|Shake your head with a smile: "General, you may have been threatened by the Ming Dynasty. This is their real terrible place."

Obai nodded with conscientiousness. Regarding this, he felt stronger than that of the Dutch. Five years ago, even two years ago, the city of Beijing still sang and danced peacefully, and looked like a peaceful and prosperous place. But later, the threats in southern Xinjiang were getting worse. It was not until half a year ago that Obai felt the power of the Ming Dynasty.

"God General. I have already negotiated with His Majesty the Emperor of your country. The Dutch will help the Qing Dynasty build muskets and warships. And assist you in training a new Earth God Machinery Camp to deal with the threat of the Ming Dynasty. We are inseparable allies. This time we are here to learn about the latest Ming army's ground muskets. General. Do you have the seized Earth Mine Muskets here?"

The Qing army suffered a lot when firing fired fire guns in the Ming Dynasty. Oboi was always trying to get fire guns in the captured area for craftsmen to study. However, the fire guns were very fine. The craftsmen tried several samples.

It's right. However, when the actual test shot is tested, the effect is not satisfactory. How many times have you experienced the T-channel? I encountered the unexploded floor. It also caused the range and calibration due to the rifling problem.

"With the land, can your country come out in a copy?" Oboi's face was full of hope. In his opinion, the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to win again and again. The land was a sharp firearm. If the Qing Dynasty's Earth Shenji Camp could also master it, then it was only a matter of time to pacify the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Kotler replied proudly: "As long as there are samples, Dutch land craftsmen can definitely imitate them. The Netherlands has the most exquisite craftsmen."

Obai nodded and ordered Goshha who was standing beside him to get the fire guns. Goshha shot a thousand times and walked away quickly. Obai said, "Everyone, let's take it quickly later. This central hall has sent people to get it."

Kotler nodded, and the Russian envoy who had not spoken beside him muttered in his heart. His Chinese language was not good, but he still understood the conversation between Oboi and Kotler. When the two talked about fired guns, the green eyes of the Russian envoy lit up. After the past few days of investigation, he was still quite afraid of the strength of the Qing Dynasty. He knew that there was no hope of the Qing Dynasty in a few years, but he was really unwilling to go back empty-handedly, so he accompanied the Dutch envoy to Nanchang. Now that he heard that there were fired guns in a row, he immediately became interested and wanted to bring a copy back to imitate it immediately.

After a moment, Goshha, who had been fired in a fire gun, came in with a long box and carefully placed it on the long table in front of Oboi. Oboi made a call, opened the long box, and pulled out a fire flask. Kotler immediately left his seat and walked to the desk to watch it, praising: "There is very exquisite craftsmanship and the steel used is also very good."

Oboi asked: "Can the craftsmen in your country imitate it?"

"Genius General, please believe your allies." Kotler nodded confidently, rubbed the handle of the gun with his hands and praised him. At this time, the body of the Russian envoy appeared quietly behind him. He looked at the musket with green eyes greedily in a daze. Kotler quickly put the musket back to the long box and gave the long box to his entourage behind him. In Europe, this technology can definitely allow the Dutch to maintain a leading position for a period of time. He would rather spread this technology in the East than to get a share of the Europeans, let alone the ambitious Russians.

Russia spoke a bit of Russian awkwardly, and took a few steps back with unwillingness.

After a few conversations, Kotler stood up and said goodbye. The Russian envoys hurriedly followed him out. They were arranged to rest in an inn, which had been requisitioned by the Qing army.

After returning to the inn, Kotler's first thing was to arrange guards at his residence. Several loyal Dutch soldiers patrolled at the door day and night with muskets. Kotler felt the danger. The Russian envoy's expression was very strange, which made him feel uneasy. Although this was the territory of the Qing general and there were dozens of Qing soldiers patrolling back and forth outside the inn, Kotler was still worried. This technique of firing muskets was too important and must not fall into the hands of the Russians.

On the first floor of the inn, the Russian envoy conspired with an officer in his bedroom. His eyes were full of greed. The name of the weapon of continuous fire was enough to make the Russian envoy excited. The biggest reason why muskets could not restrain the cavalry was that the range was too low and the firing speed was too slow. When the cavalry's sword was swung over, the musket soldiers would probably have to fire one shot at most and lose their effect. If Russia obtained the technology of continuous fire, then the Polish cavalry would become history, and the Swedish musket array would also be ruthlessly suppressed by Russia. Apart from these two great enemies, His Majesty the Tsar could unscrupulously wield the horse whip across the west bank of the Dnieper River and seize the estuary of the Black Sea.

"Captain, this is a glorious and sacred mission. I promise that as long as you can complete it, after returning to China, you will become an earl with dozens of fertile land. Well, start preparing now." The Russian envoy Hongguang knocked on the table with his knuckles. His plan was to take the opportunity to seize samples of the fire guns, then quickly flee from Nanchang, and then flee back to China by boat.

This action is very risky because their appearance is very different from that of the Orientals. When the Qing army realized that the samples of the Dutch delegation were taken, they would react quickly, but the envoy thought it was worth it. If successful, his reward would be very generous.

"Yes, sir." The captain's eyes turned red and he turned and left.
