There will be no Western Regions to the west!

Every banner person who retreated to the Western Regions knew that the Western Regions might be their last stop, and because of this, they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and even didn't dare to appease too many Kazakhs, who knows if those people will rebel in the future?

At that time, where will the Great Qing Kingdom retreat?

Boris Golitsyn, of course, did not know the meaning of this sentence, and did not know that for the Manchus, the Western Regions might be their last place to stay, in order to be able to sleep more soundly, in order not to be driven out of the Central Plains by the Han people again, once again become a lost dog, they chose to completely erase the original people living in this land.

Along the way, Boris Golitsyn continued to test Wang Mingsong's body, and soon, he got a lot of information that he had not mastered before. For example, the Qing army in the south never stopped clash with the Bois Khanate, Persia, the Burhakha Khanate, and the Kokand Khanate.

"It seems that, at least for a short time, the attention of the Qing State should be in the south. God forbid, let these infidels kill each other, and when they are exhausted, Russia will take their place here......"

In Boris Golitsyn's prayer, the delegation finally arrived in Shengjing, and just as they were about to arrive in Shengjing, with a whistle, a smoke-spitting monster roared in the distance, which only made Boris Golitsyn and all the members of the mission open their eyes in horror and look at the roaring monster.

"Devil! It must be the devil that the Tatars invited from hell......"

The priest of the mission, even taking out the cross in horror, cursed the monster loudly, and in his eyes, this thing that spewed black smoke, made a huge roar, and even breathed flames, must have been the devil that the Tatars had invited from hell.

Especially when it drove by, watching it drag several carriages and rattle in the distance, the priest sat down on the ground in fright, muttering between his lips.

"The Devil, the Devil ......"

Seeing this scene, Wang Mingsong and the others all laughed heartily, and even laughed in their mouths.

"Ya is just a bunch of uninformed hillbillies!"

"Aren't they just a bunch of hillbillies!"

……

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Boris Golitsyn's eyes were fixed on the train in the distance, his eyes were full of fanaticism, and although he was startled by the monster, he recognized it almost immediately—it was the train!

"Your Excellency, this, this is the train!"

Even though the train was gone, Boris Golitsyn still looked excitedly at the direction it was heading, his expression was full of yearning, he did not expect to see the train here.

As a Russian aristocrat, through his exposure to Dutch, French, and English books, he learned that there was a kind of train and ship in the Ming Kingdom that did not need a horse, but only coal, water, and steam. Trains and ships have long caused a sensation in Europe, but Europeans' understanding of trains and ships is extremely limited, and even only the Spaniards have the privilege of seeing ships - now European merchant ships can only reach Nantianmen, and the Spaniards, who only occupy the Philippines, have seen ships up close.

What does a train look like?

No one knows, but European scholars are all fascinated by it, and even many European scholars have left Europe, not only because of the description of how close to "heaven on earth" in the Ming Kingdom, not because compared to the rich and quiet Ming Kingdom, Europe is like a dung pit, but because of the steam engine, because of the train, because of the steamship, and of course, the open academic atmosphere, so that European scholars are willing to abandon their own country and travel thousands of miles to the Ming Kingdom.

"Hey, I finally met an insightful one, this is a steamer car, you know no, the strength of a car can top a hundred cows!"

For Wang Mingsong's show-off, Boris Golitsyn doesn't care at all. He just stared at the train, and in that moment, he made a decision to take a closer look at the train no matter what.

"My God, this is a miracle. So, you have a steam engine too? ”

Boris Golitsyn got an affirmative answer, and even when he saw the walls of Shengjing, Wang Mingsong pointed to a place outside the city where there were several large chimneys, and the smoke was spewing from the chimneys.

"You see, there's a steam engine there, and I'll tell you that your firecracker is made of steam."

"My God, really? Where is there a steam engine? And there are more than a dozen! ”

Looking at Boris Golitsyn's appearance like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, Wang Mingsong and the soldiers around him all felt a sense of pride, and that feeling of being on top really made them feel extremely comfortable. And in the next few days, Boris Golitsyn made the entire Qing Dynasty feel the feeling of what a "heavenly kingdom is", and everyone was fluttering.

After coming to Shengjing, it seemed that everything in Shengjing City was fresh and amazing in the eyes of Boris Golitsyn and the members of the Russian mission, and every Qing person who came into contact with them could feel the pride of being a Qing Guoren from them.

As for Boris Golitsyn, he exclaimed at every turn, "My God, this is a miracle of God, the powder can be as hard as stone", "My God, steam can actually push steel"......

However, in just a few days, Boris Golitsyn has already won the favor of the monarchs and ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and the exaggeration of Westerners just caters to the spleen and stomach of the Qing people. Let these bereaved people finally feel a trace of the dignity of "Shangguo".

The "lust-eyed people" from Russia became the guests of knowledge and etiquette in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Qing Dynasty. However, these people do not know how, behind the exaggeration, Boris Golitsyn tried his best to steal the secrets of the steam engine.

"So, Boris Golitsyn is interested in trains?"

Xuan Ye, who was in the palace, put down his brush and asked when he learned that Boris Golitsyn had gone to the train station again.

"Yes, my lord, Boris Golitsyn has been watching the train all day long, and the minister thinks that if the train is a woman, it is estimated that he will marry home."

Mingzhu replied with a smile, and then he said again.

"I really don't know, isn't it just a train? How did Boris Golitsyn become so fascinated. ”

"That's what Westerners do."

The thoughtful Xuan Ye said casually.

"It's like a clock or something, Westerners always like this kind of thing, it's completely different from us."

After thinking for a moment, Xuan Ye looked at Mingzhu and asked.

"Mingzhu, what do you say if I give this train to the Emperor of the Rakshasa Kingdom?"

The reason why Xuan Ye came up with this idea was because Boris Golitsyn's fascination with trains made him see another possibility, the possibility of using trains to befriend the Russian Tsar.

"Master? That's a great gift! ”

Mingzhu looked at the emperor and said.

"Although we really don't need the railway, no matter what, the 30-mile railway was built by us for more than 100,000 taels of silver, and it would be a pity to give it to the Rakshasa Kingdom like this?"

It is indeed not easy to build this railway, not to mention the money spent, that is, the steam engine, the railroad track is not made by the Shengjing Arsenal with great effort, and many of the things in it are still smuggled from Daming. It took four years to build, and it was only half a year ago that it was put into use, and in fact, the so-called use is the occasional trip on the railroad tracks to bring coal from the mine to the outside of the city.

"Anyway, haven't the DPRK and China been fighting for a while? This railway is not only a useless waste for my Great Qing Kingdom, but also, if the Ming army fights, this railway will only be used by the Ming army, so this railway cannot be repaired, so as not to ...... the enemy in the future."

In fact, the construction of railways, in the final analysis, is still learned from the Ming Dynasty. But after the completion of the construction, there was a constant debate between the DPRK and China, not because the locomotive was out of order, but because in everyone's opinion, the train was only harmful to the Qing Dynasty, not beneficial.

In this regard, Xuan Ye also deeply believes that the railway is indeed useless for the Qing Dynasty. Even he regretted building these dozens of miles of railways, and now it is not easy for the Qing Kingdom to get some silver, that is, by smuggling some wool to the Ming Kingdom, selling some slaves and maids to Mongolia to get some silver, and spending more than 100,000 taels at once, how can he not be heartbroken. With so much silver, it is better to smuggle thousands of rifled guns from the Ming Kingdom.

However, the appearance of Boris Golitsyn made Xuan Ye, who had intended to order the train to be broken, have a flash of inspiration in front of him.

"Mingzhu, you say, if the monarch of the Rakshasa country is also like that Boris, who likes things like trains, and I am close to the Rakshasa country through this, can you persuade them to join forces with me and become enemies of the Ming Kingdom in the future?"

The master's question made Mingzhu immediately understand why the master wanted to give this big gift, and he hurriedly kowtowed and said.

"Master Shengming, the slave thinks, now the Rakshasa country and the Ming Dynasty must not deal with each other, the slave previously knew from Boris that in recent years, the Rakshasa country has forced the Ming Dynasty to retreat thousands of miles to the west, this Rakshasa country sent a delegation over, the Rakshasa country sent Boris over at this time, it must be that they made the Ming country run on the Siberian side and couldn't hold on, so they sent people to ask for help from the Qing Dynasty..."

"Well, it does,"

Nodding, Xuan Ye continued.

"So, I thought about it and sent the train to the Rakshasa country, thinking that they had never seen such a rare thing, otherwise, Boris would not have worn it to the station every day."

"Master Shengming, the slave heard that the monarch of the Rakshasa country is just a yellow-mouthed child, I think it is fun, this train is sent over, it is bound to make it addicted to it, and in the future, I will re-enter the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty, and the master will use the Rakshasa again, so that the world can belong to my Qing Dynasty!"

As a minion, he can always find a reason to pat his master's ass, Mingzhu's words made Xuan Ye very comfortable to listen to, but he shook his head and said.

"The world belongs to my Qing Dynasty, so big is not necessary, where in this world can compare to the Central Plains? Just like this Western Regions, desolate and desolate, it is really not the Central Plains, if the Rakshasa Kingdom can send troops to join forces with me to fight against the Ming Kingdom, it is not a train, so it is difficult to give up the Western Regions to the Rakshasa Kingdom, so what's the matter! ”

Even though he has been away from the Central Plains for ten years, Xuan Ye still can't forget the Central Plains, can't forget the Jingshi, and forget every grass and tree there.

As for this Western Regions, in his eyes, it is not worth mentioning at all, as long as he can return to the Central Plains, this Western Regions can be given up at any time.

"What the master said is very true, this Western Regions is indeed difficult to reach the Central Plains, that is, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu, will treat the foreign land as a treasure, in the early years, he was forcibly relocated more than a million Shaanxi people to Manchuria, to the Heilongjiang side, the slave felt, that is, at that time, the people of Shaanxi knew that the Ming Emperor Zhu must not be as good as the master, and he must be eager to withdraw to the Western Regions with the master......"

Mingzhu's comparison made Xuan Ye's heart happy, and then he shook his head and said.

"Mingzhu, this is what you don't understand, the reason why the Ming Dynasty immigrated was for the sake of Shibian, how many Jurchens were born in Manchuria back then? But how many are there now? He was afraid that he would give birth to Jurchen in the future and become a stomach problem again, so he had to emigrate, the more Han people in Manchuria, the more difficult life would be for giving birth to Jurchen, and there would be fewer and fewer people, and in a few decades, a hundred years later, it would be the same as the mainland. ”

As he spoke, Xuan Ye stood up again, and he walked to the map shelf on the side, which had a pair of maps pasted on it, from which you could see Nanyang, Tianzhu, this is a map drawn by Da Ming.

"Mingzhu, you see that now, in Nanyang alone, there are no less than 30 feudal states of the Ming Dynasty, even in the future, if we enter the Central Plains again, if we want to completely solve the Ming Dynasty, we have to fight one country after another, how young this is......"

Staring at the map, Xuan Ye's tone seemed a little heavy, although the minion's words sounded pleasant, but the gap in strength between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, how could he not be self-aware, not to mention that even if the Ming Dynasty was defeated, there were dozens of "Little Ming Kingdoms" to the south.

"Master, those Ming feudal domains are just the itch of ringworm, as long as I re-enter the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty, if I want to solve them, it's just a matter of easy ......"

Regarding Mingzhu's words, Xuan Ye did not refute it, but nodded slightly, there is no problem in solving the Nanyang countries, but the premise is that the Ming Dynasty must be solved first, but the question is, does the Great Qing Kingdom have this ability now?

As for his own situation, how could Xuan Ye not know that the current Great Qing Kingdom is just surviving in the Western Regions. But Xuan Ye is not reconciled, unwilling to live like he is now.

"Mingzhu, you see, this is Rakshasa, this is my Daqing, and here ......"

Holding a location on the southern side of the map, Xuan Ye looked there and said.

"If you add Wu Sangui, the Great Qing Kingdom, Rakshasa, Wu Sangui...... I am expected to be ZTE in the Qing Dynasty! ”
