The commander is a close minister, and the guard who can't attack the lord can only go around in the five military headquarters. Wude Palace is the right way to enter the upper house, which can be mixed into the officialdom as sand, not only within the five military headquarters. The Fifth Military Department was the Governor's Office of the Five Armies of the previous dynasty, and its name was changed, and its actual responsibilities were also very different from those of the previous dynasty.

Liu Yu can tell this point clearly, and it is better to be admitted to the Wude Palace and take the right path, which is better than being crowned a junior lord now.

Listening to Qi Guogong's praise for himself, Liu Yu could only smile and say: "What Guogong said, how can you say it...... The court did misjudge the combat power of the Rakshasas, but it was fortunate that there was no big basket. It's just that I thought it was simple before, and it kind of means that I think of Guogong as Tang Jian. ”

"Shit! It's no problem for me to be Tang Jian, but I still have a little bit of the righteousness of sacrificing myself for the country. But who is Li Weigong in the court? Who can drive thousands of miles to capture Petersburg and capture the Rakshasa King? I'll just say that, from the beginning, the court and the middle were held up! I thought everything was going well, and I could use the military might to show off my might here......"

Speaking of this, Qi Guogong was angry.

Liu Yu looked at Qi Guogong's appearance of blowing his beard, and said in his heart that you also participated in the formulation of the Northern Expedition strategy. It's just that you've seen the regular Rakshasa army here, but you haven't seen it in the court.

Liu Yu poured another glass of wine for Qi Guogong to suppress his anger.

After drinking this glass of wine, Qi Guogong shook his head and said, "This matter has passed, so I won't mention it." The meaning of the imperial court hasn't changed now, has it? ”

"Yes, the bottom line hasn't changed. Heilongjiang River, Shilka River. The bottom line is okay, but outside the bottom line, how do you talk about it? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu put on a resentful tone, and the yin and yang became angry.

Qi Guogong heard the unhappiness in Liu Yu's words, and asked: "If you don't talk about it, you keep dragging it out, are you sure?" ”

Liu Yu sighed, still yin and yang.

"If the imperial court mobilizes 8,000 elite soldiers, 100 heavy artillery, 20,000 auxiliaries, and 150,000 conscripts in the Beijing camp, allows me to command the Khalkha cavalry, builds another road from the capital to the Selenga River, gives me 4 million taels of military expenses every year, provides another 10,000 immigrants and 1 million taels of immigration expenses every year, and gives me five years, I will be sure to demarcate the boundary to Lake Baikal and the Lena River."

"! Hahahaha, five million? You go back and ask the household government, can you make a surplus of 2 million this year? ”

Qi Guogong only regarded it as a joke, and didn't think that Liu Yu was talking about business at all.

Liu Yu spread his hands and said: "I also told the horses to run, and I told the horses not to eat grass, what should the prince tell me to do?" I can blow Irkutsk, Selenginsk, Yakutsk with my mouth? ”

"You said before that it was recommended to drag out the feud and not sign a contract, and then find a chance to fight back in the future."

"The premise of what I say is that the Celestial Empire cultivates its internal strength diligently, and if it can earn 60 million taels a year, it has a powerful army like the main army of the Westerners today, and there is a million people north of the Songliao watershed; There are 2 million Han Chinese in Mongolia's cultivated areas. ”

Qi Guogong really felt that Liu Yu had a fever, and he couldn't stop laughing, and the laughter even suppressed the sound of boiling water in the copper furnace.

"Sixty million two years old? From ancient times to the present, which dynasty and which generation can reach 60 million two years old? If what you said is done, why care about a rakshasa? When you say that, how is it the same as saying that as long as I have a thousand taels, I will have a hundred taels? ”

Liu Yu picked up the wine glass and saluted, full of resentment.

"From the very beginning, I felt that the imperial court wanted to solve the problem of northern Xinjiang, in the southeast. It's like if the waist and kidneys are not good, and the doctor needs acupuncture to gush the spring. But now that the fight has begun, what else can I say? I can only do my best to go to Yongning Temple and lay down two Rakshasa Forts. No matter how much it is, that's not something I can decide. ”

Qi Guogong heard that Liu Yu didn't seem to be joking, so he could only say: "Don't mention this matter." There are still people in the court who think that it is better to take Hami and Yumen as the boundary. If you don't shrink the edge, you won't necessarily be able to change. Since it may not be possible, it is better to fight now. Don't complain, you can't afford to carry this black cauldron, I'm the right envoy, Guogong. You are a small lieutenant in the light car, and you can't carry it even if you want to. You'll give me an account. How much more can you draw? ”

"I can't paint in the west. The Khalkha Mongols can't even protect the Buryatia department, if they can go north to defeat the Rakshasas before, and don't let the Rakshasas build forts......"

"Nonsense, if the Khalkha Mongols could fight like you said, they would not have chosen to surrender. The west side is not mentioned for the time being, but what about the east side? ”

"The east side should be able to draw more from the mouth of the Heilongjiang River along the latitude line to the west."

He took out a map and skillfully used his fingernails to draw along the latitude line of the estuary, marking out hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of open space north of the Heilongjiang River.

"Han has the humiliation of Baideng, and Tang has the alliance of Weishui......"

Just as he was about to say a few words, Qi Guogong was generous, and said, "Isn't this quite big?" Tell me the truth, what do you think? ”

Liu Yu: Hey, hey, a pleasure.

"Actually, I don't care how much more I can ask for outside the bottom line. That's why I've been humming songs all the way. What I care about is whether the imperial court has the heart of change. If we can change, once the Rakshasa goes to war in Europa, I can send troops north; If you can't change it, if you continue to sink like this, even if you draw the Lena River now, what's the use? Treaty...... If the treaty had worked, the Westerners would not have been fighting all day, and it has been 80 years since the Treaty of Westphalia, and there has been no peace in the treaty. Sign it today, and tear it up tomorrow. ”

When Qi Guogong heard this, he was also happy.

"You're thinking through that. Actually, I'm still a little dizzy about this. What people are most afraid of is things they have never seen. I've looked through the history books, but I haven't seen such a survey and demarcation now. The mountains and rivers are not easy, so they are drawn on the map as the boundary, and I don't know the bottom of my heart. I used to think that the world was big and endless. Now Westerners swing a globe to this point and tell me that the world is so big, if you take a little more, I will have one less point. I'm not feeling easy. ”

"What do you mean by Guogong?"

"Didn't you mention Shi Jingjiao? If Zhu Hongwu hadn't raised troops to recapture the land of Yanyun back then, it would be difficult to say. Besides, even if he recaptures it, Shi Jingjiao's infamy is still on his back. The key is whether I can get back all the old Khalkha Mongolian lands before I die? Get it back before you die, that is, Bai Dengweishui, endure humiliation. If you can't get it back, wait until someone else gets it back in the future, so won't I still be Shi Jingjiao? In the Song Dynasty, the edge of the sky was in Liaodi; At this time, the horizon is in the Arctic Ocean you are talking about. ”

After that, he looked at Liu Yu and asked, "What is the key to understanding this matter?" ”

"Guogong, people are different. What you think is the key is not necessarily what I think is the key. ”

Qi Guogong tapped the palm of his left hand with the back of his right hand and said, "The key to this matter is that the Khalkha Ministry surrendered. It's not a tribute, it's not a bond, it's a prince, it's a prince of Zhuxia. This is different from the past, and now Mongolia is not the Murwei Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate, but has a temperate envoy and is to garrison troops. Therefore, the old land pastures of the Khalkha Ministry are the land of the national dynasty, and if you don't come back, you will be betraying the country. ”

"In order for there to be few disputes on the frontier in the future, and for the sake of the Dzungar ministry, it is necessary to make concessions to the title of Rakshasa. and set up as the emperor, this kind of thing is a humiliation to the country. This is the pot that we really have to carry. Emperor Taizong's posthumous training that year must not be convicted for words; It also encourages white people to discuss politics, and encourages wine shops and teahouses to talk about state affairs......"

Liu Yuxin said that you still need to say this? I had already cleared up this matter, but the raw rice was almost ripe, and it was useless to be crooked, and said with a smile: "How big of a deal should I be." Let them talk. Whether it's a traitor or a humiliation, it's all like this, what else can you do? If you want me to say, I don't think I've sold enough. ”

Qi Guogong was stunned.

With his eyes wide open, through the fluttering water vapor, perhaps because of the rising strength of the wine, he felt that Liu Yu was a little distorted. "Not enough to sell? How else do you want to sell? ”

"Add an article to the treaty. The Rakshasa delegation was allowed to enter Beijing and meet the Son of Heaven. And our dynasty also sent people to Petersburg to congratulate the Rakshasa Tsar on his accession to the throne. Laws were formed, each was the emperor, and the new emperor ascended the throne and congratulated each other. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to send some people around Europa. I estimate that in the Rakshasa country, the current tradition of the coup d'état of the Rakshasa and the forbidden army, you can go there once in three or five years, but you can use this to learn more about Western affairs, so as to open your eyes to the world. ”

"It's best to send some noble children with excellent character and learning, to study in the Academy of Rakshasa Academy, if you can evaluate an academician or something, you will return to ......China in the future."

Qi Guogong held his forehead and said bitterly: "Do you know when the last Emperor He was about it?" ”

"I don't know."

"Eighty years ago. Zuo Maodi was forced to the Southern Emperor He Beidi, and the two emperors of the North and the South were about uncles and nephews, so that Wu Sangui followed Su Qin and hung the seal of the Six Kingdoms to be the king of Pingxi of the Qing Dynasty and the Duke of Jiguo of the Ming Dynasty. Do you also ask to send the sons of the nobles to study in Rakshasa and evaluate them as academicians? Why, do you really want to follow the example of Wu thief, the guard of Dashun, and the academician of Rakshasa? You really don't think this black cauldron is big enough, and you have to carry another one on your body. ”

Liu Yu laughed, his stomach hurt a little when he laughed, and his heart said what is this?

This kind of Dashun is really interesting, and it is not good.

The good thing is that when it comes to the moment of humiliation, if there are also crows and two crows, they will definitely burst out with amazing strength, and they will not surrender to the death, and fight to the end. But it's better not to have that chance.

The mood of tragedy is beautiful, but painful.

Speaking of backstabbing, Liu Yu couldn't help but think of what the emperor said.

"If you have more debts, you won't worry, and if you have more lice, you won't itch. Guogong, we have already taken the blame, so this one is not missing. Didn't you think about recovering the old land of the Khalkha Ministry before you died, and mixing up the posthumous name of 'enduring humiliation'? With the addition of this article, it is more likely. One is to investigate the situation of the rakshasas, and the other is to learn the techniques of rakshasas. When you have the ability to tear up the treaty, you naturally don't have to go. ”

Qi Guogong listened to the familiarity of "no worries about debts, no itching with lice", and also smiled and leaned back, wiped the two drops of salty water from the corners of his eyes, and didn't know whether he was laughing or being smoked by the heat of the copper furnace, and said for a while: "Okay, I did this thing." According to you, send envoys to congratulate each other, so as to make a rule. What else is weird? ”

"No, it's all normal. After a while, I slept well. Ming'er wrote out the charter of the sky-high price, and officially talked about it the day after tomorrow. ”
