(The first update, ask for recommendation votes, the big guy pushes the slippery!) ）

Petrov's words forced Jebtsunbadan to think carefully, if what the former said was true, he would really be reduced to a living Buddha.

The prosperity of Mongolian Lamaism was originally deliberately supported by the Qing court in order to implement effective rule in Khalkha Mongolia, without official support, Lamaism could not replace shamanism as the first major religion in Mongolia, and grew to the current status, and the title of Jebtsunbadan is only recognized by the central government to have legal effect, in other words, everything you have is given by the central government, since this means that the central government has the right to take back anytime and anywhere, once the Khalkha is abolished, it will become a province of the Qing Empire, then he, the living Buddha, may not have to be reserved.

"For your freedom and security and that of the entire Khalkha region, the garrison is a must!" Petrov was no longer negotiable, and his eyes were staring at Jebtsunbadan without leaving a trace of blind spots.

In the face of Petrov's aggressive posture, Jebtsunbadan did not know what to say at all, he had already fallen into a dilemma, one side was the sect of the kingdom that had been subjugated for hundreds of years, and the other side was the powerful Siberian polar bear, which was not easy to mess with.

"Of course, Jebtsunbadan Living Buddha, I know your concerns, the garrison plan can be taken slowly." Petrov's proportions were very accurate, his steps were too tight, and he should have let the other party breathe a sigh of relief, and he also knew how much resistance there was to forcibly put forward the garrison demand.

"The first step, our soldiers can disguise themselves as merchants, garrison in the Kyakhta area, and then slowly advance to Kulen, if the Qing Dynasty has any misdeeds, our Russian army can quickly support, you also know that the Qing Dynasty army is vulnerable, it will not take much time, Khalkha Mongolia will become an independent country, no longer subject to the barbaric rule of those Chinese invaders." Petrov offered his plan to delay the army, and at the end of his words he added viciously, "Of course, this requires the leaders of your tribes to take care of the eyes and mouths of their herdsmen, as it will be very unsightly. ”

Petrov doesn't care about the life or death of those ordinary Khalkha herdsmen, if they find out, the Russian army will shoot without hesitation, leaving this secret in his head forever, in his eyes, not only Jebtsunbadan, the entire Khalkha is a lamb to the slaughter, since it is in the middle of two great empires, you still have the right to decide your own destiny as a weak country?

Jebtsunbadan's face was still heavy, and he made this fierce choice in his head, no matter which side he fell, the rest of his life would be like walking on thin ice and worrying, but in the end he still had a thought in his mind, instead of being caught, it would be better to struggle, what if he succeeded? Who can say this kind of thing, with this kind of luck mentality, he finally nodded.

"Okay, Mr. Russian envoy, this matter will be left to you, this is a major matter related to our Khalkha millions of people, you have to be cautious."

"That's inevitable!" Petrov proudly made a lama salute and said solemnly. Once the Russian military presence was established in Khalkha, they had plenty of room to operate until the entire region of Outer Mongolia was completely separated from the Qing dynasty.

If possible, it would be better for the Khalkha to be included in the territory of the Tsarist Empire, to become the head of the eagle on the double-headed eagle heading towards the Far East, and to take a step back, if this plan does not hold, at least a buffer state between China and Russia, a strategic policy that the Tsar had established at a cabinet meeting three years earlier, and Petrov knew the essence of it.

"One more thing, I don't know if the Russian envoy knows?"

Jebtsunbadan's sudden question surprised Petrov, who was on the rise, and he restrained the smug smile on his face and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The Qing Dynasty wants to change the minister in Kulun and send the Hangzhou general Sanduo to Mongolia, I don't know what Mr. Russian envoy thinks about this?"

Jebzunbadan said worriedly, compared to the 108,000 miles away of the garrison province, this threat seems to be more direct, and the residence of the minister of Kulun is also in Kulun, which is under his nose, which is equivalent to saying that the Qing court has planted an eye inside Khalkha.

"There is also a Qing court that wants to assume a telegram between Khalkha and Inner Mongolia, I wonder what countermeasures the Russian envoy has?" Jebtsunbadan continued.

Earlier, Petrov received a secret letter from the Russian minister in Beijing, the incoming minister is a ruthless character, his previous position was the general of Hangzhou, a senior general in the military field, this arrangement seems to prove the conjecture of Petrov and his group, the Qing court has begun to pay attention to and be vigilant against the Russian movement in Khalkha, so his arrival will be a great trouble, but of course he can't say this directly to Jebtsunbadan.

"Jebzun Badan Living Buddha, I have heard about this matter, first sent troops, and then sent the main war minister to Kulun, what does the Qing court want to do, I don't need to continue."

His hint has been very clear, the Qing court decided to use military means to solve the problem, as for you, the great living Buddha, if you want to continue to be in power, then there is only one way to go to us Russians, looking at Jebtsunbadan's embarrassed appearance that was frightened by these words, Petrov smiled proudly.

"As for why the telegraph was erected, it would be very easy to explain, the telegraph is a necessary part of modern warfare, and their intentions are already clear." Petrov then threatened: "Living Buddha Jebzunbadan, do you still have any concerns about the Russian-Mongolian alliance? ”

This time, Petrov had a relaxed and leisurely appearance, he took a sip of mare's milk wine, and his eyes looked at Jebtsunbadan's face from time to time, as he expected, the other party's psychological defense line had collapsed a little.

"Well, I see, Mr. Russian Envoy." Jebtsunbadan nodded, it was time to have to make a choice, since he was destined to choose one and offend the other, so why not choose the one with the higher odds?

"It seems that the Living Buddha Jebtsunpadan has made a choice that satisfies me, and we will be close brothers from now on." Petrov looked triumphantly at Jebtsunbadan, brother? That kind of look is clearly looking at a piece of tender lamb that reaches to the mouth.

"We will provide guns and ammunition, train your men and horses, if the Qing Dynasty army fights, then our two armies can fight together."

Jebtsunbadan's face was never raised, he just wanted to keep the prestige of his position, and the Qing Dynasty completely tore his face and met each other, and he was reluctant to come to this point.

Again, Petrov's words he will not believe, joint operations? Hmph, I'm afraid the Khalkha can only be cannon fodder on the battlefield, right?

"Mr. Russian envoy, let's talk about what to do with Sanduo?" Jebzunbadan waved his hand weakly and said.

"Don't worry, my living Buddha, he will leave it to us Russians to deal with, I guarantee that every day he spends in Kulen will be thrilling."

With a look of arrogance on his face, Petrov raised his glass and said proudly to Jebtsunbadan: "But this requires your help, Mr. Living Buddha, for the sake of our friendship and purpose, cheers!" ”

Completely different from Petrov, Jebtsunbadan looked depressed, of course he knew what the former's mouth meant by help, it was nothing more than the blood of innocent people in exchange for more ignorant people's disgust with the Qing Dynasty, over the years, has it happened less?

"Cheers"

Jebtsunbadan picked up the wine glass, took only one sip and put it down, and the mare's milk wine melted in his mouth, not sweet and sweet, but more like the taste of stuffy wine.
