Finally, after the countries contacted each other, they discussed holding a meeting of the countries in Paris, France, to discuss matters related to the Ming Kingdom.

This news was known to Tsar Alexei, and to be honest, Tsarist Russia was also miserable by the Ming army, and he would not mind attending the Paris Conference if he could.

However, he was not invited at all!

Needless to say, Alexei sent a messenger backhandedly and immediately rushed to report to the Ming officials in Samaraburg.

Of course, he could not have gone in person, but sent messengers.

"Your Excellency the Governor, something is wrong!" As soon as the Russian envoy saw Hong Chengchou, he hurriedly said in an exaggerated tone, "I heard that under the leadership of Britain, Spain and the Netherlands, they are going to meet in Paris, France to discuss how to deal with the Ming Dynasty!" ”

This envoy of Tsarist Russia is not all exaggerated, after all, if the European countries really have to unite, then this strength is definitely very powerful!

Hong Chengchou listened, but he was not surprised at all, after all, Emperor Chongzhen had already explained the future situation to him. Even if the European countries have not united, after the Ming Dynasty defeated the Ottomans, the European countries will definitely unite.

Therefore, after listening to it at this time, he just said lightly: "This matter, the official already knows, what else is there?" ”

"......" The Russian envoy was a little stunned when he heard this, and he was stunned for a while, before he came back to his senses, thinking that Hong Chengchou had not heard clearly, so he said again, "Your Excellency the Governor, it is all the countries in Europe, including Spain, France, Britain, Sweden, etc., and all the countries have gone to Paris to meet and discuss how to deal with the Ming Dynasty. This is a very serious matter! His Royal Highness was worried about the Ming Dynasty, so he hurriedly sent the villain over to report the news. ”

Tsarist Russia is already a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, so it can no longer be called emperor. Therefore, they are still tsars in their country, but when they come to the Ming Dynasty, they can only be called kings.

Hong Chengchou listened to it and knew what this Russian envoy meant, and immediately replied lightly: "They want to be enemies of the Ming Dynasty, so it's good to come!" ”

"Your Excellency, are you all the countries of Europe?"

"This official has no ears, you don't have to emphasize it again!" Hong Chengchou said a little impatiently, "Maybe in your opinion, the whole of Europe is very strong together. But, for my Daming, hehe......"

With a sneer, he waved his hand and said: "You go back and tell your king that sooner or later the Ming Dynasty will have a war with European countries, let him be ready, and if he goes back to war, he will also contribute." ”

When the Russian envoys heard this, they were a little helpless, and Mingguo's reaction was beyond their expectations. There is no choice but to repay Moscow in this way.

As soon as he left, Hong Chengchou thought for a while, and then sent someone to inform Lu Xiangsheng. If European countries really want to use troops against the Ming Dynasty, it should be Lu Xiangsheng's side who bears the brunt.

But he knew on his toes that it would not be easy for the countries of Europe to unite. There are definitely a lot of things that are related to interests. As far as Mingweiburg is concerned, it is best to brake quietly and wait and see what happens.

Opening the railway line with Luntai as soon as possible is the most important thing here at Mingweiburg.

……………………

And when Tsar Alexei received the news of the return of the envoy, he was a little dumbfounded.

It is true that the Ming Kingdom is strong, and according to his estimates, there is no country in Europe that can resist the attack of the Ming army head-on. However, if all the countries of Europe are united, it will definitely be a very strong strength, and the Ming Kingdom is so far away from their Beijing Division, how many chances can the Ming army have in such a war?

Thinking of this, Alexei couldn't help but change his mind: Governor Hong despised the news he passed on so much, could it be that the Ming army had been winning battles, so he became arrogant? I thought that Europe was a weak country and was not an opponent of the Ming army, so it didn't matter?

If this is the case, if there is really a war in the future, then the Ming army will definitely be defeated. And the Ming army must also send troops to help, which means that they have to be dragged down by the Ming army and lose the battle?

Thinking of this, Alexei, of course, was not reconciled.

Thinking left and right, I couldn't help but close the door and scold.

I really don't know what it means to scold European countries, why did he exclude him from the meeting?

After a while, he scolded Mingguo's side, the frog at the bottom of the well, do you think Europe is so easy to bully? If you turn around and fight, it will definitely affect Tsarist Russia!

After scolding for a while, it can't change the fact that Tsarist Russia is now a supporting role. Alexei was a little decadent, and after sitting stupidly for a long time, he had to take one step at a time and see the situation before talking!

Naturally, it is impossible for Tsarist Russia to hear the news about the Paris Conference, including other small countries, tribes, etc., that submitted to the Ming Dynasty. For them, the natives of Eastern Europe or Central Asia, of course, know how powerful the European countries are now.

Basically, they took the same actions as on the side of Tsarist Russia. First, they sent someone to report to the Ming side, and then they wanted to see the situation and turn back to the winning side, anyway, they didn't want to bury the loser.

……………………

On the Persian side, Lu Xiangsheng has always carried out the will of Emperor Chongzhen before leaving, in addition to sending troops to garrison the important transportation town of Bitlis, he sent cavalry troops from time to time to scare the Ottomans, but his real energy was to pounce on the Persian province.

Focus on supervising the recovery of people's livelihood in various places, especially the resumption of work and production of fields, to minimize the impact of the previous series of wars.

In addition, he did not relax the spread of Chinese culture, the opening of schools in various places, the difficulties encountered, etc., he will solve them as soon as possible.

There was even the first Xiucai examination in Persian Province, that is, the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination.

However, the province of Persia is newly established, so you can imagine what this first exam will be like! Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng lowered the requirements, not to mention, but also tested the content of new learning and craftsmanship according to the situation of Daming.

Four books and five classics, as long as you can say something, you can pass the test. And the content of new learning and craftsmanship should have something to attract Lu Xiangsheng.

In this first examination, Tong Sheng obtained the qualification to enter the local government office; And in the end, he was able to become a talent, Lu Xiangsheng was personally commended by Zhennan City, and gave them travel expenses, and sent them to study at the Ming Dynasty's local public expense with the Ming Dynasty's fleet back and forth to Persia.

However, there was a condition that they would have to return to Persia after they had learned.

The reason why the reason for this is to collect the hearts of the Persian people, so that they can have a sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty and unite their hearts.

However, what made Lu Xiangsheng a little speechless was that many of the first Xiucai were actually native to the Ming Dynasty and came to settle in Persia with the army, or simply went out to fight and quit the army with injuries and chose to marry multiple daughters-in-law in Persia.

By doing so, they are returning to China at public expense to visit their relatives.

In this regard, although it does not meet the original intention, Lu Xiangsheng does not want to change. No matter what, they are all Ming people, there is no need to favor one over the other! In a few years, among the Persian Ming people, there will naturally be intelligent people rising.

As long as such a road is opened for them, in the end, they can be guided to learn the cultural customs of the Ming Dynasty with their hearts and truly integrate into the Ming Dynasty.

As for the moment, those from the Ming Dynasty are superior, which is also a matter of course.

While Lu Xiangsheng was busy with this, he received news from all sides that the Europeans were going to unite. Among them, there were those who came to report the news from the Ming Dynasty, and there were also people sent by Hong Chengchou to inform them.

Just like Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng was also mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen. So he wasn't worried. When all the European countries are united, if they really want to send troops, they don't know how many years it will take, whatever they want.

In this way, in addition to continuing to pay attention to people's livelihood, Lu Xiangsheng only sent someone to inform Yan Yingyuan.

At this time, Yan Yingyuan's department had already penetrated Iraq and Syria in later generations, and went to the Mediterranean to drink horses.

However, due to the limited number of troops, only a small number of rangers were left on the Syrian side as a vigilance, and the army returned to Baghdad to watch the Ottoman captives clear the plains and farm.

On the western side of the Arabian Peninsula, the terrain is much higher, and the harvest in the fields is not very good. Therefore, Yan Yingyuan didn't care about that side, and mainly operated the plain from the plain where Baghdad is located to the coast of the Persian Gulf.

As far as the current Ming army is concerned, it is basically in a state of recuperation, in order to gain a firm foothold in this land, and also to accumulate food and grass for the subsequent war.

The previous aggressive soldier was temporarily reined in, and the sword was inserted into the scabbard, waiting for the next unsheath to drink blood!

……………………

The situation on the side of the Ming army made the Ottoman Empire breathe a sigh of relief. Here's what they say about this matter.

I saw the Ottoman Prime Minister Ahmet telling the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness has achieved miraculous results, and the Ming army is forced by logistics and is no longer able to advance westward. According to the report of Tanma, most of the Ming army was cultivating land to deal with the grain and grass crisis! ”

I don't know how many complaints were aroused by the previous strong implementation of the policy of clearing the wilderness, and the Ottoman people who were forced to leave their hometowns did not know how many died on the road. All of this is very stressful for Ahmed. Even the Queen Mother is under pressure.

Therefore, now that the Ming army is "powerless" to advance westward, it is certain that the strategy of clearing the wilderness has succeeded, which can reduce their pressure.

The Queen Mother listened, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked a little worriedly: "What will I do after that?" When the Ming army has food and grass, won't it come to attack us Ottomans again? ”

"The Queen Mother rest assured!" When Ahmad heard this, he hurriedly replied, "Wechen will definitely seize the time to train the troops, and he will definitely train an elite." When the time comes, don't say that the army will come to fight our Ottoman Empire, even if you don't come, Wechen will lead the troops to take revenge! ”
