By this time, Mengus had fled back to the northern shore of the Perekop Isthmus. He simply led his close tribes north, crossed the isthmus less than eight kilometers away, and left the great rivers and mountains behind.

We didn't say anything, but he and his men had long been afraid of the terrible artillery. What he didn't know, of course, was that three of the twenty guns had exploded due to overuse. And dozens of artillerymen were wounded as a result, seven people died.

The remaining two-pounder guns were quickly pulled back to Chizhou by Chen Hanlin and rearranged near the city walls in the three directions of Beishan and Xishan and the mine. The army of more than 4,000 troops, excluding the 1,000 Tatar cavalry who attacked the territory of Mingus, the rest of the infantry was temporarily stationed in the victorious guard.

On the other hand, Lemar, who was very curious about the remaining swamp fortifications, also divided his troops into the swamp fortifications after applying for Conrado's consent. Of course, soon they retreated. There were so many dead people there that no one could stop the plague once it arose.

Before leaving, Chen Hanlin, who was still quite conscientious, hastily buried most of the corpses, and his own corpses were cremated and the ashes were taken home.

Glancing back at the battlefield, Chen Hanlin shook his head calmly.

"If there is such an array of enemies in the land of China, then why worry about the immortality?"

But after thinking about it, Chen Hanlin still found that such a war could not be replicated in China. Because Huaxia and the grassland are too close, the bordering area is too large. Not to mention anything else, just putting up barbed wire and chest walls that cut thousands of miles requires a price that Chen Hanlin could never have imagined in his life.

The Chinese fathers and elders can't afford it.

.......

When Chen returned to Chizhou, the commotion on the government's side attracted his attention.

Countless civilians of good deeds gathered around the government to watch the play. Chen Hanlin also squeezed over.

"Prime Minister Meng, you read to me, what is the first hadith engraved on this stone!" Annoyed, Bao Yin stood in the yamen compound wearing a woolen coat made of precious purple dye sent by Kanglado, and pointed at Meng Zhuoyan is a curse.

That stone was still Meng Zhuoyan sent someone to plant it in the compound in order to establish the authority of the king. It happened to be engraved with the words "Do not be kind, do not pay tribute, and do not be a minister." ”

Meng Zhuoyan sweated like rain, and the old black pot face of Qin Changan next to him was also rare to see as red as a monkey's ass. And Wang Rongfang, the old fox, found an excuse early in the morning and ran to Xishan Ranch to avoid the limelight.

Qiao Su and Baoyin stood together, and the two of them had a posture that Meng Zhuoyan would kill him if he didn't give a reasonable explanation.

The cause of the incident was that Meng Zhuoyan agreed to the marriage letter of Haji Gelai, the Great Khan of the Crimean Khanate. Haji Gelai was willing to marry his precious little daughter to Qin Cang in exchange for Qin Cang's salt and iron support. At the same time, the marriage was a necessary prerequisite for Haji Gelai to agree to help Qin Cang and Mengus mediate the war.

These are the exact words of Haji Gelai. If the marriage is not accepted, then Haji Gelai will have to reconsider the positions of both parties. And once he decides that Qin Cang is an outsider, then it will inevitably set off a large-scale invasion of the Crimean Khanate against the Han Kingdom! Eight thousand Tatars can hold it, but what about thirty thousand? What about fifty thousand? You must know that the Crimean Khanate is crazy, but 150,000 cavalry stormed Moscow!

In the eyes of Meng Zhuoyan and others, this is quite a trick with means.

Yangmou is the most difficult to prevent, because people are just above board and unstoppable!

Haji Gelai is like a spectator of the fighting crickets, while Qin Cang and Mengus have become the two crickets who fight back and forth, and whoever wants to win will buy their village.

Although Baoyin was a Tatar, it quickly began an irreversible sinicization under the vigorous development of Han culture. In the face of those nine big characters, the anger in her heart was almost about to burn down this government yamen, which was known as the most gorgeous building in the territory!

"Ahem, Queen......." Meng Zhuoyan said with a bitter face.

"Who's your name Queen?" The two women immediately spoke out on this critical issue.

"I'm talking about two. If we make such a fuss again, won't we be seen as a joke, we ....... Talk in the house, talk in the house. "It's rare for Qin Changan to say so much. It's really that the ugliness of the family can't be publicized now, and there are a lot of civilians gathered at the door, who will see the prestige of the yamen if it goes on again?

Chen Hanlin hurriedly squeezed out of the yamen. His identity was discovered by the attendants, and the name of the Confucian general was already well-known in Chizhou.

"Commander Chen! Don't go! ”

"Oops! I still have something, there is a problem with the artillery position in Xishan......."

How could Meng Zhuoyan and Qin Changan let the old boy run away? Chen Hanlin was just put up alive.

Five people, with more than a dozen subordinates, sat in the spacious political hall.

"Old thief! Speak clearly! What qualifications do you have to consent privately? Bao Yin asked angrily.

Meng Zhuoyan coughed embarrassedly and said, "It's not that the old man agrees privately, but it's helpless and unavoidable!" ”

"What do you have to do! Brother Cang has won the battle, what are you still talking about? ”

Chen Hanlin next to him immediately blushed. Speaking of which, he really just followed the rules and didn't contribute much.

Meng Zhuoyan hurriedly hinted that Qin Changan would stand up.

"Ahem, two queens, now there is not a single copper plate in the treasury! I don't know how much money there is, but I guess it's less than 2,000, right? Recently, in order to fight the war, the Great Iron Supervisor and the Wood Supervisor have all stopped producing goods. Nor can it be more productive. If the war continues, the military salary will not be paid! If we don't accept the proposal of Haji Gelai, who is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, we will not only lose a huge potential market, but we will also be stuck in the southeast and unable to expand......"

"That's right, what Qin Duzhi said is very true! If the king marries the youngest daughter of Haji Gelai, our caravan will be able to move through the Crimean Khanate! Coupled with the fact that herders do not have a strong sense of belonging to their territory, we can establish cities and relocate to various mineral-rich resource points. Subtly turn what places we belong to! Under the boiled frog in warm water, within five years, I, Meng Zhuoyan, will take the head of the Xiang Guarantee! The 500,000 Tatars of the Crimean Khanate may be sinicized! Will you be afraid of Haji Glei? Please think again! ”

........

Bao Yin and Qiao Su quarreled with a few people in the political hall for three hours, and finally compromised.

And at this moment, the mediator finally found Qin Cang, who had just cut off Gu Ha's head.

"What do you say? War mediation? My wife and my subordinates agreed? Khan gave his daughter to me? Qin Cang was stunned by this.

And this kind of operation?
