If you say the same thing, different people say it, and the effect is different.

A group of old nobles were confused, they knew that there were French missionaries in the court, and Bai Mingyuan and other missionaries had also painted Western portraits of them and gave them gifts. Many nobles still have some European-style plate armor, Western swords and other playthings at home.

These countries whose names are known thousands of miles away are tributary states like the Korean Ryukyus, and these old nobles themselves do not believe it.

Missionaries such as Bai Mingyuan have been in the Celestial Empire for a long time, so they naturally can speak, obviously they are just normal interactions, but when they write letters and give gifts, they say that they are tribute. The old nobles still have a clear door in their minds, and they understand that it is just a face, they are happy with each other, and they don't say anything about it.

But if you go back to the pre-Qin era, let go of the pride of the Heavenly Empire, and engage in some kind of cooperation, this is a bit unbelievable.

The story of France and Poland is very easy to understand, isn't it the case of Qin Mugong marrying his daughter and supporting Jin Wengong to return to China. It's nothing more than a father-in-law helping a son-in-law, and a son-in-law helping a father-in-law on the French side, not much different.

Besides, it's not as good as Qin Jin Chao, Qin Mugong is both the brother-in-law and father-in-law of Jin Wengong. Leaning on the old things of the pre-Qin period, it is easy to understand.

If it's really useful, it's not impossible to cheat, but what will the world think of this matter?

Is it insulting to the country?

Is it a joke?

Does it make people feel that they are far less backbone than Zhu Ming, and they want to make friends with barbarians?

When there was a war in the northwest, I knew that there were captured Poles in the Dzungar department, and it seemed that I still believed in the Yellow Sect? It is also known that the Poles helped the Dzungars train a group of cavalry with very different means of charging.

But no one thought that something thousands of miles away could be linked to the upcoming negotiations with the Rakshasas.

If Liu Yu talks about this, the old nobles think it's okay.

Now a little person who is on the edge of the ravine can talk about things thousands of miles away, which makes these veterans feel as if they are about to be eliminated by the times...... Myself, I don't know anything.

The dying Yasukuni Gong couldn't help but think of the old things when he left the town of Fujian when he was young, thinking about those huge Western warships, and thinking to himself Could it be that these people are really old?

Admitting that the rakshasa is not part of the tributary system is already appalling.

Maybe after the word spreads, how many heartbroken people there will be in Jiangnan Shizi, and it is difficult to predict how many sarcastic and incompetent words there will be in the Shilin Association.

The north and the south are emperors but not dynasties, is this not an old Song and Liao thing?

What is the difference between a false belief in God, a request for the Pope, and even a request for the Japanese shogunate to send troops? (Note 1)

Catching up with the storm of banning religion and the frequent occurrence of teaching cases in Fujian, I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to handle.

In the future, the Celestial Empire will really engage in vertical and horizontal art with those Western countries?

Is the Celestial Empire still the Celestial Empire? The whole world is not the king's land, how big is this king's land in the future?

Maybe use France to deceive the Rakshasas, maybe you can really get back some more barren land, and maybe even you can deceive back the Jingqili River.

But in the eyes of Rulin, for the sake of a few feet of barren land, it is really worth it to fall into the sky and put down his body?

Zichuan Hou Xie Wuji on the side also shook his head secretly, looking at Du Feng, who had answered fluently just now, and remembered the matter of Du Feng's ancestor, which can be regarded as having some origins. Although I don't move around, I still receive some mountain gifts during the New Year's holidays.

At this time, seeing that Du Feng was not shaking and his words were not boring, it was obvious that this was a beautiful thing.

Xie Wuji thought to himself, silly boy, silly child, Liu Shouchang is exploring the way with you, are you still here?

Is this something that you can say in your capacity? Don't you have any points in your heart for who you are?

You have said that if Your Majesty asks him in the future, he will be able to answer; If His Majesty doesn't ask in the future, he will treat it as if he hasn't said it.

It's you, and you're really bold.

It's really crazy to think about Jane in the emperor's heart and to show her ability in front of the palace, in case Your Majesty scolds you with a sentence of "white words, it's ridiculous", I don't think you will have time to cry by then. Didn't your father teach you a sentence of companionship like a companion?

After thinking about it, it's true, his father's identity is not qualified to have such feelings......

I sighed in my heart, thinking to myself this stupid boy, I'm afraid that you are still grateful to him in your heart Liu Shouchang gave you the opportunity to speak in front of His Majesty, right?

People's feelings, just a thought.

Xie Wuji thought of the matter of the ancestral Shandong Righteous Army, afraid that Du Feng was young and didn't know the depths, and he said something out of the ordinary, so he said: "Your Majesty, since the righteous son of the Rakshasa King knows the depth of the Rakshasa King, why don't you bring him here, Your Majesty will ask him personally?" Moreover, since Liu Shouchang had captured a lot of Rakshasas, why not ask him to escort the captives to come, and wait for the Khalkha Mongol tribes to come and watch them sacrifice prisoners to strengthen the army? ”

quietly diverted the topic, Li Gan didn't feel any different, and was also in line with Zichuan Hou's strong words.

I thought that the righteous son of the Rakshasa King was exiled due to the change of the court, and now the Rakshasa Dynasty is ruled by the regent with a foreign surname, and this black righteous son is afraid that he will not be able to exchange anything, but he can make the best use of it - then Li Er has a Turkic Khan dancing, and I Li Gan is not as good as Tang Zong.

was interrupted by Zichuan Hou, and I wanted to ask Du Feng something again, but I forgot.

Once the thought is broken, it is difficult to continue.

Before, Du Feng was also fluent in answers, and he was not flustered, and he was not as incoherent as those who faced the saint for the first time, and he was also a young character. Thinking that he had already encouraged him to call him "Zhi Renyong" before, no amount of encouragement was not good, so Li Gan drew another big pie.

"You have the desire to learn, so prepare well after this war. If you can enter the Wude Palace, you may be selected as the dragon ban in the future, so that you will not be determined in vain to say that you don't care about your heart. Let's go down. ”

How could Du Feng have thought of such an unexpected joy? His Majesty had just encouraged himself before, and now he has encouraged him again, and I really have to thank Lord Liu for giving me such an opportunity, and I dare not forget this kindness.

He bowed his head again and again, got up, bent down and slowly retreated outside the big tent, and he only wanted to mount his horse and run to the high place of the cliff now, and let out all the joy in his heart.

In the distance, another war horse with a victory galloped over, the blue flag hunting, and Du Feng stepped sideways.

I thought it looked like it was going well, Rakshasa, but that's it.

In the tent, Du Feng, who had just left to report the victory, finally came the good news of Mu Li Jiwei.

is also good news, compared with the good news on Liu Yu's side, it is really distressing.

In war, people die.

But the key is what kind of person dies?

In a Muligi fort, more than 80 veteran officers with meritorious titles were killed in battle, and four freers were killed.

The latter is okay, and the courtiers can still be reborn. But the former...... It is basically equivalent to reimbursing two or three thousand grass-roots officers.

These two or three thousand people were no longer able to fight another brutal and bloody battle until they were replenished with veterans and officers.

The emperor understood that he was forced to die by his own military order to break the city on the fifteenth. If the siege is not attacked, so many people will not be able to die at all.

But there are still a few Rakshasa castles that must be captured, thinking that if they all fight like this in the future, how can this work?

Although the Celestial Empire is large and there are many soldiers, there are not so many veteran officers with meritorious titles, and the Northwest Front was defeated by Dzungaria before and killed one or two thousand people, and there were only more than 50 of them with honorable positions, which had already made the front-line generals cry bitterly, and now more than 80 have died at once......

Looking at these two contrasting good news, Li Gan finally made up his mind.

…………

Huli Pingzhai, where the Jingqili River meets the Heilongjiang River.

The stockade was empty.

The soldiers who came with Liu Yu looked at the scorched earth and shouted insults.

These Rakshasas have run away.

Mao didn't leave them behind.

There is no money, no skin, and no one can exchange money to save the head of the military.

The house burned, the skins were taken away, and the people ran upstream.

The arrogant step figure complained at the lame Du Qian.

"Lao Du, didn't I say you, told you to take a boat to intercept people, you still let go. When you report back this time, there is still one who doesn't run? This time it's good, the hundred and ten military exploits in hand, are they gone? ”

Du Qian also looked aggrieved, the arrogant father had served as the commander of the fold in Handuo Liwei, and the two were also acquaintances, so they could only murmur embarrassedly: "Those Cossacks ran faster than rabbits in the woods." If you want to talk about this matter, you have exposed flaws, and Lord Liu said that it is okay, and asked you to make a show outside the city, and deceive the Rakshasa people into 'attacking inside and outside'. You can't control people, a few people ran to the river to touch the big mussels to find pearls, and the Rakshasa people are not stupid, are they so attacking? Seeing that the situation was wrong, he reserved a back hand. ”

The two of them exchanged a few words, Liu Yu wanted to be content, if they hadn't run away, this city might not have been attacked.

Although the city's defense is not as good as the one downstream, the location is very good.

Built on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River, the Jingqili River and the Heilongjiang River are gulggars, if there are not enough sailors, it is still difficult to capture.

However, once the sailor is enough, the city will also be sent. He tricked more than 300 people into going down to support and send heads, and there were not many people left in the city.

Liu Yu had long known that he couldn't attack it by himself, but it was not good to say it early, so as not to wear out the interest of a group of people who were thinking about breaking the city and dividing the money. "Ode to Friedrich the Emperor" sings clearly: If you let us rob, we will turn the world up with you. The spoils of war are a good means to calm the morale of the army and boost morale, if you can only get a piece of scorched earth, many people must be reluctant to follow him so far.

Slowly marching here, the people of the city have already run away. But the credit of winning another city can't run, but it doesn't have the military merits of the big soldiers.

This broken place is useless now, but in the future, the Jingqili River Plain can be planted with good land. It is much more difficult to plant the land now, except for a little Russian rye, and nothing else should be planted for the autumn harvest.

Before the Russians ran, the rye in the fields were also burned, and it was already too far from Handolivi to keep up with the logistics.

Seeing that Liu Yu didn't know what he was thinking about, he asked carefully, "Lord Liu, why don't we go back?" ”

"Where? The battle is all over this, go back? In case the Rakshasa reinforcements come and take the place back, you will take the blame? ”

Arrogant Butu thought to himself, you are tall, of course you are the top. I wanted to, but it wasn't my turn.

"But my lord, this man eats horses...... Our food will be eaten for another half a month. It is not easy to transport grain later. ”

"Don't worry about that. In the past few years, so many boats have been built on the Songhua River, it can't just be built for fun, right? I have already played Your Majesty, and I think it won't be long before the sailors of the Songhua River will come. If the Songhua River sailor doesn't come, it is estimated that His Majesty does not care about the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, so of course there is no need for us to stay here. ”

Judging the time, Liu Yu felt that there were only two possibilities.

One is that the emperor sent sailors to support, and the water and land advanced to threaten the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River; Another possibility is that the imperial court thinks that this is a barren land with no value, and sends someone to tell them to go back to the downstream to guard.

Either way, there will always be news in ten days. But as long as the emperor sends the sailor to support, food will not be a problem, and the logistics supply of the sailor can still keep up.

Looking at the galloping Jingqili River, Liu Yu gave an order.

Everyone stationed on the ruins left behind by the Rakshasas, cutting down trees to build houses, digging trenches, and preparing for Rakshasa reinforcements from Yakutsk.

There were two parts of his troops.

Some of them followed him from the capital to Yongning Temple and back, the absolute authority he had established; The other part is the hooligan and bandit general government soldiers of the Handuoli Zhichong Mansion, who sold a favor and asked Du Feng to report the victory, Du Qian also owed him a lot of affection, and he was the only one.

At the sound of an order, the soldiers did not complain about the trees and the pits of the pits and the pits were dug and the soldiers did not complain, but they hated that they were late for a while, and let the hundred and ten heads run away. They fought a few battles with Liu Yu, and they all felt that the war was so simple, and they didn't have the slightest consciousness of attacking the city and killing many people.

Soon after, Du Feng returned from there and brought back the emperor's will.

Let Liu Yu arrange the defense here and build the house, the house must be strong, don't be fooled, and be prepared for a long-term station. The sailor will soon be coming up from the downstream.

After arranging the things here, ask Liu Yu to take people to Muli Jiwei. At the same time, Liu Yu arranged for those captives who followed Liu Yu from Yongning Temple to come here to pay tribute, and arranged for them to go to the Muliji Acropolis by water.

At the behalf, the camp suddenly exploded.

When many government officers heard the words "preparation for long-term stationing", their faces turned green at that time...... After the fucking battle, are you going to let the people of Handoliwei move north? Why don't you learn to learn Mingxuan, when the health center moved inward?

Only Du Qian looked at his son's high-spirited and horseback riding like a boil on his buttocks, and thought to himself that Lao Tzu would follow his son in the future and go to the south, so you can continue to suffer here. Lao Tzu's family has survived in the frontier for 80 years, and finally survived.

PS: Note 1, that can be understood as the historical burden of Dashun. It is estimated that Li Guo was blackened by this problem for the sake of legitimacy back then, and he may even deliberately force the remnants to a dead end to force him to do so, in order to promote orthodoxy in Shun. After all, since the Battle of Jingzhou, the legitimacy of Dashun is not to free grain from the fields, but to expel the barbarians and protect the world but not the country of one family. This historical baggage was heavy, but it was extremely effective at the time.
