Chapter seven hundred and ninetieth: Soldiers never tire of deceit
.Is that true?" Zhu Jun in the Golden Palace was only at this time about Mu Tianbo's incident: the second-rank came out, and his originally depressed mood improved slightly. Mu Tianbo had been with him for more than ten years. Although the two of them had a normal relationship not as good as Zhu Jun and Zhou Mubai due to their age differences, they still had feelings. Zhu Jun diluted the sorrow in his heart and said, "Since Tsar Peter has the heart to surrender to the heavenly dynasty, he feels comforted. Since this is the case, according to the rules, Russia must surrender to the Ming Dynasty. There should be no problem with this, right?"
Vishniak breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and surrendered? This is probably a bit embarrassing. Russia is different from those European countries. It is very common for those small kingdoms and priests to let go of their figures. However, Russia has always claimed to have inherited the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Tsar is the emperor of the Third Roman Empire. The First Empire naturally refers to the strongest period of Rome, the Second Empire refers to the Byzantine Empire, while Russia calls itself the Third Empire, making the Emperor of the Third Roman Empire surrender to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? No matter how brave Vishniak has, he dare not agree. Even if Peter forgives him, wouldn't the Russian princes who have always been proud to tear him to pieces?
"Your Majesty, I think this catty," Vishniak felt very embarrassed. Peace talks with the Ming Dynasty were a major event that concerns Russia's life and death, and the issue of surrender was something that he, the envoy, could not touch, let alone agreed without authorization. He paused: "I hope that you can make another proposal, Russia is willing to compensate in another way.
"What method?" Zhu Jun's expression today was very strange.
"Uh. Vishniak was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he really couldn't find any way to compensate. Siberia is very precious thugs. But it has been mastered by the Ming Dynasty. Money is impossible. Russia's finances are already overwhelmed. Where can I still have money to feed this wolf? There are Russia and the Ming Dynasty, and Russia lacks too much.
"Forget it, Zhu Jun waved his hand very tolerantly: "Since we are talking about peace, both sides should be more or less tolerant. The Union knows the history of your country, so the Union is unwilling to pursue any status. Russia is willing to be friendly with the Ming Dynasty for generations. This is Peter's intention, and the Union also agrees deeply. This peace agreement is considered to be the first to run. As for the specific terms, you go to the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, Siberia will belong to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army in Siberia will not cross the Ural Mountains to launch any attack on Russia. From then on, the two countries will have a good relationship. I hope we can continue to get along for generations.
"Thank you, Vishniak, suddenly became excited. What he could not have imagined was that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was so easy to speak and put himself in his shoes. If the Ming Dynasty was Russia, the Russian Tsar would have easily given up the opportunity to blackmail. Thinking of his fulfillment of his mission, he immediately became excited and said hurriedly: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
After being beaten away, Zhu Jun's face turned cold again. He waved to the little Guizi, and then said, "Summon Li Dingguo to meet immediately. Wang Qiu, and this river." He notified the Ministry of Rites and asked them to finalize the terms of the peace agreement as much as possible.
"The thug by the order, Bu Guizi nodded and left in response.
The news of Mu Tianbo's resignation spread quickly. First, the news was published in the di newspaper, and then the discussions on the streets and corners. Later, various messages were spread. After all, Mu Tianbo was the assistant to the cabinet. He suddenly resigned, and the emperor agreed directly. What kind of meaning does this mean makes everyone a little confused. Therefore, some people believe that the emperor is sympathetic to Mu Tianbo's old age and is sure to live a life of his life, while others think that Mu Tianbo may have lost his holy family. After all, everyone in the world knows that Grand Secretary Zhou Mubai has the best relationship with the emperor.
But soon, this and the rumors were broken. Just when Mu Tianbo left Nanjing, almost all officials from all over the court were seeing him off at the post station outside the city. At this time, the royal carriage also hurriedly left the city gate. Clustered by a team of guards, Zhu Jun, wearing casual clothes, held Mu Tianbo's hand, and behind him were the vast imperial guards, who saw the officials accompany him from afar.
"Emperor" Mu Tianbo said in a low voice, but couldn't speak.
The spring breeze blows on your face, but there is a bleak atmosphere. Zhu Jun said silently: "Mu Aiqing, Lian is here to see you off, I wish you a good journey."
"The old minister died, and the emperor was busy with all his life. Mu Tianbo, who should not waste time for the old minister, replied cautiously.
Zhu Jun was speechless. He naturally understood that Mu Tianbo was a vigilant. He said it better, and he was called obeying the minister's way. However, getting along with such a minister also made Zhu Jun a little depressed. After he hesitating for a moment, he said: "Mu Aiqing said this, Lian knew in his heart, and being with the king is like accompanying a tiger. I must have understood this principle, and Lian also knew in his heart, but why should Mu Aiqing be so cautious? Lian may be at fault, but he said that he had not treated his ministers harshly yet? Especially an old minister like you, if Lian did not have you, I am afraid, huh."
Zhu Jun added the word You in desperation to show his respect for Mu Tianbo.
Mu Tianbo stopped tremblingly and said solemnly: "The emperor is a wise monarch. Everyone in the world understands that the old minister is just guarding his family. Please don't blame him. "A small hill is windy here. You might as well put the boat back to the palace. Zhu Jun shook his head: "No hurry, the couplet is coming to see you off.
In fact, although he has been together for more than ten years, Zhu Jun has always respected and increased the old ministers, and Mu Tianbo is loyal and responsible for changing Zhu Jun to the emperor. Even so, it is difficult for the two to get close to each other.
Mu Aiqing, Lenovo asked, who do you think should Lian promote to take over as Cabinet assistant?"
Mu Yaobo said: "By the position, the only ones who can be competent for assistance are Yang Side and Zhou Mubai. The candidate in the emperor's mind must be Zhou Mubai, right?
Zhu Jun nodded secretly. To be honest, Zhou Mubai is indeed an excellent candidate in his mind. After all, this person is smart and flexible, and knows everything about the economy. He is far better than the dull Yang Side, but he still wants to hear Mu Tianbo's opinion.
"The emperor, the assistant minister is the most important position in the Ming Dynasty. Once a suitable candidate cannot be found, it is often unfavorable to the country. Therefore, the weak ministers dare not deceive the emperor. Speaking of which, the emperor already has a candidate, but the old minister does not agree." Mu Tianbo paused: "Although Zhou Mubai is talented and has made achievements in people's livelihood, it seems too narrow-minded compared to Yang Side. The old minister's narrow-mindedness is not about his mind, but about his old age."
"The emperor loves to start smart ministers, not those officials in the court who follow the old ways. The old minister knows this. But have the emperor ever thought that a strong country needs reform and reform? You often say this, but if you only seek innovation, it may not be possible. New things must be reformed, and old rules must be adhered to. Otherwise, wouldn't this be a mess? Although Yang Side was conservative and not very smart, there was only one thing that Zhou Mubai could not compare with. Zhou Mubai specialized in a little bit, but Yang Side had the vision of taking overall charge. If you talk about people's livelihood, Yang Side could not compare with Zhou Mubai. In terms of familiarity with the law, he
Not as good as the officials of the Ministry of Justice, in terms of etiquette and law, he can distinguish which is more important and know that things are urgent. What should be done first, what needs to be waited for, some things can be aggressive, and some things need to be carefully considered. This seems to be of little use, but it contains great truth. Recovering the Grand Secretary was originally a position that took overall charge. Therefore, the old minister thought that Yang Side was the best thing to replace the old minister. The emperor thought that he was conservative, but the old minister thought that what the court lacked now was not innovation, but stability.
Zhu Jun silently pointed Lu You: "Lian think about it again. Mu Aiqing, after returning to Yunnan, Lian will often write letters to report to your residence. At that time, you must remember to reply. Otherwise, Lian will go to Yunnan in person to visit you."
Zhu Jun deliberately said no joke. However, no one could laugh at this scene, so he had to give up. The two of them had already arrived at the railway station in Xicheng, Nanjing. There were many people here. If Zhu Jun appeared, it might cause some chaos. Therefore, Zhu Jun gave a few more instructions and then returned to the palace.
The wheels were rumbling, and Zhu Jun was sitting in the carriage, but there was a lot of reason. Just now, Mu Tianbo's words did make a lot of sense, so Zhu Jun was asking himself: "Is the pace of innovation of the Union too fast? The changes in things have been a gradual process. Perhaps Mu Tianbo's words are not unreasonable. Zhou Mubai has made great achievements in economics, but this cabinet is not just economics. Alas, this matter needs to be carefully considered.
The signing of the peace treaty was very smooth. In order to get the good news back to the country, Vishniak deliberately asked one of his servants to go back to report the message first. It is said that the Ming Dynasty also sent a specialist to Siberia to order the several legions stationed there to not cause trouble. Three days later, Vishniak began to prepare to return to the country. He also went with him an envoy of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty meant that since the peace treaty was signed, it would be natural to visit each other, by the way. He could also visit the Ming army in Rostov. Return to the country with the Ming army in Rostov.
Vishniak was naturally willing to accept this suggestion. His mission went smoothly, and sometimes he even doubted whether it was a dream. However, he felt relieved when he saw the terms of the agreement in black and white words.
Along the way, the group first boarded the train heading north and arrived in Peiping. Then, in order to improve the degree, the group all rode out of the pass.
Along the way, Visniak saw that the Ming army stationed in Siberia showed no sign of military action, and they even began to guide the immigrants to open up land. As well as protecting resource workshops for mining in some places, Visniak felt relieved. The Ming Dynasty really kept its promise. However, thinking that the huge Siberia became the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's land reclamation policy was obviously planning to occupy the place for a long time. This made Visniak feel very depressed. Russia has been swallowing up the surrounding territory for centuries, but unexpectedly, it has been spitting out of seven or eight.
Regarding this, Vishniak began to get angry about the business. Princess Sofia, who was once in power, had it not been for the fact that Sofia was not aware of the current affairs and stood with the Qing Dynasty, perhaps the wise His Majesty Peter would have led Russia to stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty.
Hand. Mr. Li, Siberia, will never be occupied by others.
Fortunately, His Majesty Peter made a wise decision, which allowed Russia to stand on the side that would win again. He was filled with regret and comfort, and he was mixed with grains.
Half a month later, the group finally arrived in Moscow. In this Eastern European city, except for the only few months, most of the time was covered with snow. The church bells were melodious, and there were not many people on the road. You can often see some disabled veterans walking by with their arms around their backs and drinking drunkenly, staring at every catty with malicious intentions. Passersby, some people were drunk in the snow, and never got up again. They just waited for the team to collect the corpse to pass by and move them away.
There are many beggars with disheveled heads. Due to years of war, the entire Russian serf economy has suffered great damage, and even the city of Moscow is full of miserable conditions, not to mention how serfs in the countryside are miserable.
Vishniak had long been accustomed to this and did not show too much sympathy. He led the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to enter the Kremlin directly and met Tsar Peter. The Tsar was very friendly to the arrival of the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. All the hospitality etiquette was the best. When he learned that Vishniak had signed a peace treaty due to his mission and it was much less than he expected, he became much more enthusiastic. However, the princes and princes were not so friendly to Mingtian. However, Peter strictly ordered no one to be disrespectful to Mingtian. No mistake was made.
After visiting the Tsar, the envoy was naturally ready to return home, which was different from when he came. His route to return home was to first arrive at Rostov and then take a boat to return home through the Mediterranean. For this reason, Peter specially sent a team of palace guards to escort the Ming envoy who came from afar to Rostov.
In Rostov, the Dragoon regiment had begun to evacuate, and the Western Navy had arrived at the Port of Rostov. In the absence of enemies, the Dragoons' evacuation work was slow. Although it had been a month since they had passed. However, the Russian side did not protest, everything was in order, and boxes were loaded on the ship. In a few days, the Dragoons were ready to board the ship. The arrival of the Ming envoy did not delay their progress. Two days later, the fleet officially raised sails and anchored, and slowly left the port at the port by Russian officials. He drove westward
On the main ship of the Western Fire Division, Bai Cheng and Shi Lang were chatting in the command cabin. Now that the mission has been completed, both of them have been relieved and relaxed.
At this moment, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty led two soldiers into the door with a solemn look on his face. The Governor was stunned at first, but when he saw the envoy wearing a winged crown dress and a sacred look, he immediately understood a little.
Bai Cheng, the governor of the Royal Dragoon Regiment, and Shi Langke, the governor of the Western Navy?" The envoy carried out the etiquette without hesitation.
"Weichen stood up together.
"The emperor's secret order, and the two men Zhi heard from the envoy Xuan take out a piece of yellow silk and arched their hands high.
The minister, the two of them knelt down together according to the order.
Emperor Fengtian Chengyun ordered Bai Chengxiao to leave the Russian harbor and return immediately within one day, attack Rostov Port, and landed in the place. The Dragon Cavalry and the Navy and Marine Corps were combined into one, and the attack on the Russian state in one fell swoop will not be wrong.
"My servant, obey the order,
In Siberia, legions began to assemble, and the major governors arrived at the city of Dhara on the east side of the Ural Mountains. Here, the officers photographed by the General Staff Headquarters also issued orders. The legions, who originally thought that the war was over, gathered together quickly and prepared for the war.
At the Nanjing General Staff, Zhu Jun personally arrived here, observed the General Staff's deduction of the war, and then looked at Li Dingguo Road with a bad expression: "Li Aiqing, the United suddenly tore up the peace agreement while signing the peace agreement, and what they did was to defeat Russia once and for all. If this battle could be successful, the entire army would be rewarded. You send the orders to the legions so that they don't have to be too cautious and take down Moscow to eliminate our great troubles in the Ming Dynasty.
The empress's minister followed the order, Li Dingguo was also excited. Although Zhu Jun tore up the peace agreement and made some officials in the court very dissatisfied. They believed that the Celestial Empire should be based on faith, but for Li Dingguo, as long as he could destroy his opponents at the lowest cost, the so-called faith was empty talk. He would never get tired of deceitful war, that was the case.
Zhu Jun sneered: "What the Ming Dynasty needs to do now is to eliminate any future troubles. Let the so-called trustworthiness be done in the future. Lian will take the blame. If people in later generations want to scold, they must scold Lian."
"Emperor, even if you want to scold, the barbarians will scold you. However, the people of the Celestial Empire will definitely be grateful to you. Who is the so-called achievement that will never be achieved in the world? Li Dingguo was deeply infected. He looked at this issue from the perspective of a soldier and did not think that the emperor was wrong.
