Ernst's eyes froze, he didn't quite understand what the emperor meant, judging from the emperor's tone, it seemed that this battle was destined to be fought at all, but it seemed that it was not time yet.

"Your Majesty, is it a bit .......hasty to establish diplomatic relations?"

"Not in a hurry, not in a hurry at all."

Ning Yu smiled, stood up and put the long sword back into its scabbard, and handed the long sword to the female official beside him, and then stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.

There are many flowers, birds and trees in Changchun Garden, and the shade is also very dense, so with the gust of breeze, people don't feel the slightest warmth at all, and they just want to be able to enjoy it in such a cool way.

Ning Yu walked in front, he put his hands behind his back, and said softly: "Right now, our vision will gradually turn away, Cheng Ming's big victory in Upper Burma last month basically laid the advantage in Myanmar, I believe that it is not a problem to completely occupy Myanmar, but after completely taking Myanmar, the empire will no longer make a big move in the southwest." ”

Ernst thought for a moment, "Your Majesty wants to see the feudal system and the metropolitan protectorate system....... How effective is it in Myanmar? ”

"That's right, Burma is a testing ground for the Empire's future external development, and if it can't achieve convincing results, then these will have to be pushed all over again-" Ning Yu turned his head slightly, "so as long as I don't get the relevant results, then I can't continue to throw money and food into the water." ”

In fact, there is another sentence that Ning Yu did not say, that is, when the feudal system completely fails, it means that the domestic nobles and chambers of commerce are not worth supporting at all, and he can only choose to establish another foundation at that time, but the only power that can be believed at the moment is the army, and it is natural to see what happens at that time.

Of course, there was no need to say these things to Ernst.

Ernst shook his head, "Your Majesty, in fact, the colonial activities of Western countries are also full of suffering, so far, although Britain and France have only achieved a little bit in India despite decades of efforts, and although the Spaniards and Dutch occupy the Spice Islands, everyone knows that it is not difficult for the empire to occupy there." ”

"Your Majesty's current system of sub-feudal has a higher ability to mobilize resources - so the minister thinks that as long as he persists, he can achieve a lot of gains."

Ning Yu shook his head and said: "I am by no means the kind of person who does not repent for the sake of face, adapting measures to local conditions is the right way, compared to Myanmar, the Northeast is another direction of development, and the practice of immigration and armed farm system can also provide us with an alternative." ”

Speaking of this, Ning Yu admonished again: "No matter what our relationship with Britain and France will be in the future, this will not prevent us from building a good relationship with them at the moment, especially at the moment there are still great interests with Britain, such as trade with Britain, which can be raised to a larger scale, and on the issue of Russia, it seems that we can also find common ground." ”

Ernst laughed, the accuracy of the Emperor's perception of the situation in the West was really surprising, after all, the relationship between the British and the Russians in the West today is very delicate.

In the past 20 years, Russia has fought a Great Northern War with the Kingdom of Sweden in order to seize access to the Baltic Sea, and in this war, Britain has always taken a hostile position towards Russia, giving Sweden diplomatic support and material and military assistance.

Although the war had been over for several years, Sweden had been beaten to its lowest point, and the Russians had been given the coveted access to the sea, the British had not given up on clamping down on the Russians' expansion in Europe, so relations with the Russians had always been very cold.

"Unite Britain and Sweden to bring the eyes of the Russians back to Europe."

Ernst pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe we can try to rebuild the Triple Alliance, and then Sweden will be the top priority......"

Ning Yu nodded, "That's right, but the matter of contacting Sweden against Russia can be eased for a while, they are still licking their wounds now, but I am afraid that they will not have that spirit..... We can do more trade first, as long as the trade volume increases, our influence on Sweden will also increase. ”

For Ning Yu, Sweden can only be used as a pawn in Europe, he does not expect Sweden to defeat the Russians, who are extremely strong, but when the Fu Han army and Russia clash in the Far East, they can also drag the Russians back.

Strictly speaking, this matter should be handled by the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after all, but the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ningchu is not clear enough about some small routines of Europeans, so it is better to let Ernst negotiate, anyway, when the time comes, he will have to personally check it, and there is no need to worry about problems.

And the reason why Ning Yu is dealing with this matter at the moment is not only because Burma is on the one hand, but also because of the Russians in the Far East.

He had become more and more aware that the war with the Russians was getting closer and closer.

.......

August, Mirror City, Hamgyong Province.

Bands of Eight Banners soldiers occupied the city in the northeastern part of the Korean Peninsula, and they searched for supplies from all over Hamgyong Province, even to the point of frenzied looting, but the city became almost like hell, full of burning flames and crying people.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners were obviously organized to loot this time, and under the leadership of various leaders, they carried out a concentrated search for the people in various places, and all goods or food and other items were directly snatched away by them, and even those who were blocked by the people were almost slaughtered.

Under the raging flames, there was no longer the tranquility of the past in Mirror City, the black smoke that rushed into the sky almost blackened half of the sky, and the crying people in Mirror City almost made the Eight Banners soldiers more and more excited.

"Lord Zhang, Eight Banners..... Is it necessary for the Qing Dynasty to do this? ”

Emperor Qianlong wore a bright yellow satin embroidered multicolored cloud gold dragon pattern armor, the middle of the clothes hung steel heart guards, the mirror around the decorated gold cloud dragon pattern, the two sleeves with gold wire strips, the cuffs of the moon white satin embroidered gold dragon, the following around the robe, the head is also decorated with a sable hair helmet, the top inlaid with an east pearl, although his age is still young, but in this set of armor, it is very powerful.

Zhang Tingyu said in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor, it is impossible for my Qing Dynasty to continue to rule North Korea at the moment, and the defenders of Seoul are estimated to not be able to hold out for too long. ”

Emperor Qianlong nodded hesitantly, but he was about to say something, but Xu Yuanmeng next to him also spoke, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is right, after Yunchun, I am afraid that we will not be able to do anything by relying on a few thousand of us, and if you have a fortune in your hand at that time, you can also ask the Russians to send more soldiers." ”

Emperor Qianlong was a little disdainful in his heart, but he knew how far the Russians were from here, not to mention sending troops, just looking at such a few people in front of him, it took a lot of effort, and he didn't know if when they passed, this food or something would be enough to eat......

Just when Emperor Qianlong was a little worried, a cavalryman of the Eight Banners came from afar, but he quickly stopped, and then trotted to the Qianlong Emperor and knelt down, but this time the emperor saw clearly, it turned out to be Shen Mude, the current young talent of the Eight Banners, but there was a little smile on his face at the moment.

"Emperor Qiqi, the servant Shen Mude has just received the news that Chu Shun has captured Seoul......." Shen Mude's face showed a bit of indignation.

"What, Seoul was lost so quickly?"

Before Emperor Qianlong was in a hurry, Xu Yuanmeng and Zhang Tingyu began to get anxious, not only did they say that there were more than 30,000 horses in Hancheng, plus they held on to Hancheng, it was impossible to fall so quickly anyway!

Shen Mude sighed slightly: "That's right, the emperor, and the two adults, Seoul was lost too quickly, first the Koreans betrayed us, and then took advantage of the night to let Chu Shundu in, caught off guard, and let them occupy Seoul at once, as for my 30,000 Eight Banner Army, although it was gathered at that time, it was driven out of the city, but I am afraid that it is now more than auspicious." ”

"This ...... How good is that? Qianlong's face turned white in an instant, and even his words became a little trembling.

Zhang Tingyu sighed deeply, of course he understood the reason, in the final analysis, it was because the Eight Banners had gone too far in North Korea, and the time was too short, so that after the Fu Han army came, almost everyone in North Korea led the way for the Fu Han army, and even provided a lot of information to the Fu Han army, so that the Qing army had no way to resist. ”

Fortunately, the Qing monarchs and ministers knew early on that they couldn't do anything, so they chose to set off from Seoul in advance and arrived at the current Hamgyong Road, otherwise they would really be blocked in Seoul by the Han army, and they were afraid that they would be completely served in one pot.

Although there are less than 3,000 people left in Hamgyong Province at the moment, these 3,000 people are the most elite in the Eight Banners......... The so-called method of gecko tail breaking is naturally smaller and smaller.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tingyu immediately said decisively: "Your Majesty, we have to run away quickly...... After Yunchun, big things can still be done! ”

It's going to run away again......

Emperor Qianlong was a little dissatisfied, he ran from inside the pass to outside the pass, from Shengjing to Hancheng, and now he is going to Yunchun, maybe where else to run when the time comes.......

However, for the sake of his life, Emperor Qianlong nodded wisely, and then said, "Shen Mude, hurry up and gather the army..... Let them stop killing and prepare for Yun Chun to leave......."

"Hey, Your Majesty."

Shen Mud hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and then trotted all the way over, riding a horse with a team of personal soldiers, and began to gather the soldiers who were wantonly in the city, but at sunset, all the soldiers basically began to slowly return to the camp with large and small packages, and as for Mirror City itself, it was almost scorched.

Three days later, thousands of Qing troops surrounded Emperor Qianlong and other monarchs and ministers, but they arrived in front of the Yunchun border, everyone looked up, only to see that on the distant horizon, a military fortress that was beginning to take shape was rising from the ground, it was not the kind of square city, surrounded by curved city walls, but it looked very strange.

Five miles in front of the military fort, there is also an extremely tall lookout, on which there seem to be some Russian soldiers standing guard, they saw a large group of Qing soldiers is gradually approaching, but it is the alarm bell, just a moment of effort, only a moment of effort, only to see nearly a thousand Russian soldiers have gathered in formation, and set up the position, as if waiting for the order to be issued.

When Zhang Tingyu saw this scene, the cold sweat on his forehead suddenly flowed out, although he had corresponded with Count Savaola, asking to take refuge in Yunchun, but he did not say that it was today, and now if the two sides really want to accidentally misfire, not to mention the relationship with the Russians in the future, they will not be able to get through this hurdle in front of them.

As for taking the opportunity to occupy Yunchun? This is simply an impossible conjecture.

Through the current scene, Zhang Tingyu can basically conclude that although the 2,000 Russians in Yunchun do not seem to be many, their elite level far exceeds that of the Qing army.

Not only Zhang Tingyu thought of this, but even other people thought of this, they all showed a look of embarrassment towards Zhang Tingyu, the Russians in front of them are not easy to deal with!

Just when Zhang Tingyu was planning to ask to meet Sara Gulla, he saw a sudden opening in the Russian phalanx, and saw Count Savavaula come out of the mouth, with a little smile on his face, and said loudly in the direction of the Qing army: "My friend, I am really very happy that you can come here...... But there is one thing, there are so many of you that I really won't be relieved if I let you in like this. ”

Since Count Savaulla had been speaking Russian at a very fast pace, he was so embarrassed by the translation of the Qing court that he tried hard to listen to Savaura's Russian, and then translated two sentences with great difficulty.

"Your Majesty, the meaning of the Rakshasa people is to let most of us leave here, and only a few people can enter......" The translator trembled and looked at the Qing monarchs and ministers whose faces gradually darkened, and translated a sentence stubbornly.

"A few? Am I one of the few? ”

"The emperor is naturally counted."

"Do the courtiers who died for me count?"

"This ........"

Seeing that Emperor Qianlong was getting more and more angry, Zhang Tingyu had no choice but to stand up, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is better to let the servants go and see Savavaula first..... The slave can tell him the reason for this, and then return to the emperor when the time comes. ”

Emperor Qianlong took a deep breath, he looked at the Russians who were showing off their might in the distance, but he suddenly felt a kind of shame from the bottom of his heart.

Here, it was supposed to be the land of the Qing Dynasty.
