"The Ottoman Empire actually ceded Baku and other oil-producing areas to Muscovy...... "The Ministry of Rites of the Ming Empire, Shangshu Sun Fang looked at the briefing from the north, and snorted coldly and said to himself. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is definitely not good news for the Ming Empire, because from this compromise, it is easy to see that Muscovy has achieved the purpose of the war.

Once Muscovy chooses to end the war, then this war of expansion, the Ming Empire will become the focus of the world......

Obviously, it was not in the interests of the Ming Empire to be in the spotlight - Germany and Austria-Hungary, including France, would suppress the Ming Empire, and the war against Ceylon would surely fall into a quagmire.

At the urging of Germany and Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire was so willing to surrender part of its territory to Muscovy, which shows that this time Europe is ready to unite completely when necessary.

Sun Fang sighed, threw the telegram from afar on the table, and finally stood up and commanded, "Get ready, I'm going to see Your Majesty." ”

As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Sun Fang wanted to go out to see Zhu Mu, naturally someone arranged it, and when he was still on the way, the Principality of Moscow got the news from Baku and other regions and had been sent into the Forbidden City.

After Wang Jianfeng heard the news, he also knew that the most severe test had finally come, if the Ming Empire had a little problem in the next war, or if it made a mistake in the future negotiation process, it would cause hostility all over the world.

And the Ming Empire has proved with its own experience that it is a very stupid thing to face the whole world with the power of one country.

Wang Jue...... My son...... Now it's up to you how far we can go before the truce! Don't let the Wang family become the sinners of the Ming Empire through the ages......" Looking at the news in his hand, Wang Jianfeng muttered, raised his head, and looked at his secretary.

He paused, stood up, his gown stretched out, and the white crane badge on his chest looked unusually shiny. This set of modern civil official dresses of the Ming Empire fits so well on his body, highlighting the momentum of the first and auxiliary ministers of the Ming Empire.

After the first minister stood up, he stepped out of his desk and asked his secretary: "The materials that are ready to be transported to the south and the troops that are replenished to the south, you personally supervise the future of the empire in one fell swoop!" ”

"Yes! Lord Shoufu, the lower officials will definitely do their best to send the best supplies to General Wang Jue! "The Prime Minister's Concierge is a seven-rank official, and he can be a secretary to the First Auxiliary Minister, and he is naturally not an ordinary role.

The secretary put his feet together, pressed his right hand on his chest, and after saluting, he withdrew from Wang Jianfeng's office and went directly to do the things assigned to him.

The same news, when Chen Yue sent it to Zhu Mu, it was even a few points faster than Wang Jianfeng to get the news.

Zhu Mu sat in his place, his eyes looking at the message spread out on the table, his eyelids drooping slightly, as if he was asleep.

In fact, it was impossible for him to fall asleep, but he was thinking about whether it was possible for the Muscovy to bite the Ming Empire in the north.

Muscovy, ruled by Vladimir VII, was less diplomatically inert, in other words, more fickle than the rest of Europe.

Originally, a loose alliance with such a country was a last resort. Now that the country is swaying, Zhu Mu is naturally not surprised.

But the two guys, Germany and Austria-Hungary, pressured the Ottomans to finally bring about the end of Muscovy's expansion...... It's really ruthless. He thought of this, and suddenly opened his mouth to comment on the two empires in the distance.

Chen Yue nodded, and said with no expression on his face: "The British main fleet has entered the Mediterranean, the pressure on Germany and Austria-Hungary has decreased sharply, and Europe's intention to interfere in the battle on the Southeast Peninsula has become very obvious. ”

"The British Empire has made a move, Germany and Austria-Hungary, and even Muscovy have shown their swords, now it's up to me to respond." Zhu Mu opened his eyes, pressed his hand on the message, and said coldly.

"Your Majesty is arbitrary, so naturally there is a way." Chen Yue hurriedly spoke, following up with a just right amount of sycophancy.

In fact, neither he nor Zhu Mu had a special way to deal with the situation in front of him. There's only one choice they can make - you hit yours, I'll fight mine!

To put it bluntly, it is to continue to follow the established national policy of the Ming Empire, strive to end the battle in the southeast peninsula as soon as possible, stabilize the entire defense line, and then negotiate peace with Ceylon, the British Empire, Japan and other countries.

Use part of the interests of the southeast peninsula in exchange for the fat that has been swallowed in the mouth of the Korean peninsula. As for whether other countries will buy it or not, only God knows.

As for what kind of effect this established national policy of "taking a step back from the southeast and changing the Korean Peninsula" can achieve, we must look at it from two aspects.

On the one hand, it depends on whether Wang Jue, Sima Mingwei and Wang Yan can play a huge advantage on the Southeast Peninsula, and the more the advantage is played, the more initiative the Ming Empire will have at the negotiation table.

On the other hand, it depends on the diplomatic mediation methods of the Ming Empire, and whether Sun Fang or even Zhu Mu can find the bottom line of the other party and exchange the greatest benefits for the least price.

The bottom line on the second point is how much the Ming Empire has to pay to make the British Empire and Ceylon give up Japan, which is similar to the "robbery" on Go.

Japan was located in the north of the Ming Empire, separated by an ocean, and was often used as an important pawn to contain the Ming Empire. Now that the Ming Empire has returned to the Korean Peninsula, it is time to remove this chess piece.

And to uproot this chess piece, it is necessary to take the lead in cutting off the surrounding forces that support this chess piece. What the Ming Empire is now striving for is to cut off the support of these countries for Japan.

"Your Majesty! Sun Fangshangshu asks to see! A secretary walked into Zhu Mu's office, saluted respectfully, and spoke.

"I knew he was coming......" Zhu Mu motioned to the secretary to invite someone in, and only when Sun Fang stood in front of him and the door was closed again did he stand up and walk in front of Sun Fang.

Zhu Mu, the emperor of the Ming Empire, stretched out his palm, pressed it on Sun Fang's shoulder, and opened his mouth to give the bottom line of the negotiation: "When Wang Jue takes Yangon, you can go to talk!" Yangon Vientiane can be discussed! As long as the Korean Peninsula! ”
