When Zhaisangbo was still breeze, Wuzhong City was already in ice and snow.

Unexpectedly, the weather here is not as cold as Siberia, and it is roughly minus ten degrees Celsius in November.

The weather here seems to be not as cold as Liaodong, and even Mobei is much colder than here.

Cao Bianjiao has been fighting outside the frontier in recent years, so he naturally didn't realize how cold it was. He could even run wildly outside.

The soldiers of Beidaying have long been accustomed to this kind of weather. They practice as usual, stand guard as usual, and are completely unaffected.

Cao Bianjiao held up his telescope and then sighed slightly, "It seems that the Tsarist Russians should know the weather here, which is not good for us.

Alas, it would be great if the weather could get colder, and we would be able to rest assured in winter.

Otherwise, you have to be on guard day and night, which is very troublesome."

You don't think it's cold enough!

Zhang Zhiji couldn't help but tremble and said, "Can they still send troops in this kind of weather?"

Cao Bianjiao looked at Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen's cold look and shook his head slightly and said, "Zhiji, Yunzhen, you should exercise well.

This weather is nothing to our Beidaying soldiers. Do you think they can send troops?"

Zhang Zhiji said embarrassedly: "We are civil officials, okay?"

Xu Yunzhen also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, Lord Cao, it's too cold here, we can't stand it anymore. Otherwise, let's go to the house to sit."

OK, don’t freeze these two treasures raised by the emperor.

Cao Bianjiao nodded slightly, then took Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen down the watchtower and came to the warm temporary governor's mansion, and had someone come to the pot of hot tea.

Zhang Zhiji quickly poured a cup for each of them, then picked up the teacup and whispered a few times, then said comfortably: "The emperor is so amazing. He actually thought of using a boiler to burn steam to keep warm. This room is so comfortable."

Cao Bianjiao nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, the emperor's method is really good. The soldiers don't even have to burn the kang at night, just go to bed, it's very warm.

It is really troublesome to burn the kang. Not only does it make you look dark, but you still have to add coal.

It's much better now. Just sending two people to take turns to the boiler room to solve the problem of heating for thousands of people."

Xu Yunzhen said curiously: "Mr. Cao, do you think that Morozou will come today?"

The reason why they ran up the watchtower was actually to see if the Tsarist Russian team had come, because the negotiation date agreed by both sides was today.

Unfortunately, they couldn't stand it after staying for less than two quarters of an hour.

Now they can only sit in the house and wait for news.

Cao Bianjiao said without hesitation: "They will definitely come. They are still afraid that we will call him. Do you dare not come?"

Sure enough, not long after, the general in charge of the provocation rushed in and bowed, saying, "Report, Duke, the Russian team is here, they are less than five miles away from the West Gate."

Cao Bianjiao nodded slightly and then asked, "How many people have they come?"

The general in charge of the provocate said without hesitation: "It's still the same as last time, more than a thousand cavalrymen were protecting several carriages."

Cao Bianjiao waved his hand, then stood up and said, "Zhiji, Yunzhen, let's go, let's go to the first floor conference room."

They waited in the first-floor conference room for a short time, and Morrozov brought people in.

However, this time Morozov not only brought an interpreter, but also a strong man with a bearded face.

This strong man is very burly, but he seems to be afraid of the cold. After coming in, he is still trembling.

But he stopped trembling soon because there was also heating inside, which was very warm.

He looked around in surprise, then sat down with Morrozov.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiji couldn't help but say curiously: "Who is this?"

Morozov quickly introduced: "This is Koprupasha of the Ottoman Empire."

Pasha was a position in the Ottoman Empire, somewhat similar to the governor, but its power was greater than that of the governor. Generally, a Pasha could command a vassal state.

Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen naturally knew about this. After all, they would negotiate with others specifically, and they would definitely need to understand the situation of various countries.

Xu Yunzhen quickly introduced to Cao Bianjiao.

Last time they only negotiated and did not translate it for Cao Bianjiao, which made Cao Bianjiao confused.

This time they have already discussed it. One person negotiates with others and the other person will be responsible for interpreting it for Cao Bianjiao. If Cao Bianjiao has any opinions, you can tell them.

Morrozov briefly introduced the negotiations to Koprupasha.

Zhang Zhiji said first: "What do you say about His Majesty the Tsar and your Sultan? How do you give the Astrakhan Khan to us?"

Well, this is naturally impossible.

Although the Astrakhan Khanate is not as big as the Siberian Khanate, its area is more than that of many continental countries.

More importantly, the Astrakhan Khanate happened to be on the coast of the Caspian Sea, with a lot of rivers and a relatively fertile land.

Such a good place, the Tsarist Russia and the Ottomans have been competing for several years, how could they give it to the Ming Empire?

Morrozov said carefully: "This, our Tsar Majesty said that neither side had started a war, so why did you need to cede land and pay compensation?"

Hehe, you finally reacted.

Question, is it useful?

Zhang Zhiji immediately looked stern and said tactfully: "Do you mean we should send troops to fight with you before we can cede the land?

We also want to fight. After the fight, we don’t have to talk to you about cenit land.

We can all take back the Astrakhan Khanate, the Kazan Khanate and the Crimean Khanate!"

Don't bully people like this, okay?

Morrozov said weakly: "We have signed an armistice agreement. You can't just fight like that, right?"

Zhang Zhiji snorted coldly: "If we weren't as far as the armistice agreement were concerned, would we be so polite?

We just want an Astrakhan Khanate, but you have been in vain for Kazan Khanate and Crimean Khanate. You are not satisfied yet. Are you forcing us to do it?”

What do we mean to be useless?

That was what we worked hard to build, right?

It seems that it will not work without cutting some meat.

There is no way, this guy is unreasonable!

Morozov said helplessly: "The Astrakhan Khanate is not an ordinary big country. Our tribe members have lived there for many years and are all ceded to you. Then hundreds of thousands of tribes of our tribes cannot survive."

Alas, I started to pretend to be pitiful again.

We care about how your tribe members survive, you colonial robbers!

Have you ever cared about how others survive?

Zhang Zhiji simply snorted coldly and stopped talking.

This means that he wants to be a red-faced person. If he is a white-faced person, he naturally cannot make concessions to others.

Seeing this, Xu Yunzhen smiled and said with a smile, "How about this, we will take the Volga River as the boundary, and the Volga River will return to you west, and the Volga River will return to us east."

Then we have nothing left!

The Crimean Khanate is less than a hundred miles west of the Volga River, the Kazan Khanate is one point north of the Volga River, and the south of the area we used to compete with the Ottoman Empire, and the ownership has not been decided yet.

Morrozov shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, there are not many places left on the west side of the Volga River, and it is not enough to support hundreds of thousands of people."

It seems that you prefer to drink alcohol.

Xu Yunzhen pretended to be helpless and shook her head and said nothing.

Zhang Zhiji immediately said viciously: "This is not possible, that is not possible. Do you want to try the million-dollar iron cavalry of our Ming Empire?"

Can you stop going to war at any time?

Morozov didn't know what to say, so he could only look helplessly at Koprupasha on the side.

He means, don’t sit still and say nothing. We are allies, okay? Let’s fight against the Ming Empire together!

Yawenku

Koprupasha is suffering because the Ottoman Empire is declining rapidly at this moment.

Originally, their strength was very strong, and in the continental Europe, the Habsburg dynasty was comparable to them.

Unfortunately, their navy was defeated by the Spanish Invincible Armada at that time, and their army lost repeatedly in wars with the Holy Roman Empire, Tsarist Russia, and Poland.

What's even more fatal is that Murad IV, who led them to revival, died young at the age of 27. Not only did he not leave any descendants, but he also left a younger brother with a problem.

This brain problem is not a swear word. Their current monarch Ibrahim I really have a brain problem.

Their current monarch Ibrahim was like a child. He knew to play in the harem all day long and didn't care about the government.

After Ibrahim I ascended the throne, a court official once described it as follows: "The Sultan fell into the hands of his confidants and companions, Baoru, mute, eunuch and women in the harem, and they made everything mess up!"

They are struggling to make trouble now, so how dare they provoke a powerful enemy like the Ming Empire?

Koprupasha frowned and pondered for a while, then said carefully: "Why do we discuss it again?"

You've been holding it in for a long time and you've got such a big deal?
