Alexander II's expression was calm and peaceful, and he did not show the slightest embarrassment at the beginning. A smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said unhurriedly: "Lord Li, I heard that Long Xi said that you came to visit Muravyov and the Russian soldiers, I don't know what the situation of the army soldiers is?" I want to see the soldiers under my command. ”

"Good!"

Li Zhen did not refuse and immediately led the way.

Soon, Li Zhen led Alexander II and his party to the camp where Muravyov was imprisoned.

Alexander II's face changed slightly when he saw the captured Muravyov.

Muravyov, the once powerful governor of Eastern Siberia, has lost his sharp and powerful demeanor, like a lonely and helpless old man. Muravyov's face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was full of wrinkles, and his gray hair on his head had turned a frosty color and a blinding white. When Muravyov saw Alexander coming in, his body froze, and then he stretched out again, with tears in his eyes, and knelt down and said: "Old minister, please see Your Majesty!" ”

In a word, a little bitter.

Alexander II was also very emotional, and immediately went to help Muravyov and comforted him.

Li Zhen didn't speak, turned around and left with Long Xi and the others.

A certain amount of space had to be given to Alexander II, and he had no intention of standing on the sidelines. After Li Zhen left with his soldiers, only Muravyov, Alexander II, and the guards and soldiers who came with him were left in the camp. The guards were observant people, and when they saw Alexander II's monarchs and ministers together, they made a gesture and left with their soldiers, leaving room for Muravyov and Alexander II to be alone.

Muravyov was ready to kneel, but was stopped by Alexander II.

Alexander II said: "I'm sorry for you! ”

When Muravyov heard this, he choked up, and large tears rolled down his eyes.

He did not expect that when Alexander II opened his mouth, it was not a word of reproach, but a word of comfort. Muravyov's heart was greatly moved, warm, and choked silently. He shook his head again and again, tears running down the wrinkles on his face, crying like a child. Alexander II did not speak, but gently patted Muravyov on the back, silently comforting him.

It took a long time for Muravyov to calm down.

Muravyov wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, calmed his emotions again, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister attacked Li Zhen twice in a row, and both times failed miserably. This time, he was captured alive by Li Zhen, which disgraced His Majesty. ”

Alexander II took Muravyov's hand, patted it gently, and said: "There is no one in this world who can only win and not be defeated, there are people who can stand up after defeat. As long as you're around, everything is fine. The city is gone, and we can attack it again; The army is scattered, and we can also regroup and build our army. But if you don't, I'll lose a vassal. As long as you're still around, everything can be recovered. ”

Muravyov nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of guilt.

The more Alexander II was like this, the more uncomfortable he became.

Suddenly, the tone of Alexander II's tone changed, his expression changed from mild to serious, and he asked seriously: "Muravyov, lost to Li Zhen twice, have you figured out the reason?" ”

Muravyov said respectfully: "The old minister has been imprisoned for a long time, and he has been pondering the problem of failure. Next, I will share my thoughts and ask Your Majesty to correct me. ”

"Say!" Alexander II said.

Muravyov and Alexander II continued to communicate and discuss issues related to this great war. At the same time, on the other side, in Li Zhen's camp, Peng Yulin, Lu Shaochuan and others gathered together.

Li Zhen asked: "Lao Peng, have you sorted out the arrangements of the army and the cities?" ”

Among the people who remained in Vladivostok, except for Li Zhen, Peng Yulin had the greatest right to speak. Although Peng Yulin's position has not been clearly appointed, everyone has reached a consensus that Peng Yulin has been regarded as the number two person in Vladivostok.

Peng Yulin smiled slightly, and replied confidently and calmly: "Lord Wang, the army has Commander Lu, Lord Long, Yang Lao and others, everything has entered the regular, and there are no problems. I have also made specific arrangements for the official arrangements for the city of Vladivostok and the area north of the Heilongjiang River. Now, there are people in each city. ”

Next, Peng Yulin gave a brief introduction to the official arrangements in the area north of Heilongjiang that had been occupied, and Li Zhen listened carefully, and then approved them one by one.

In the end, Li Zhencai nodded and said: "The area north of Heilongjiang must do a good job, we negotiate with Alexander II, and after finalizing the results, we will go south, and the personnel here must be arranged to avoid residual problems." ”

"Yes!"

Peng Yulin nodded in response.

The soldier walked in and reported: "Lord, there is news from the Russians, please discuss the matter." ”

Li Zhen took Long Xi, Peng Yulin and others out of the barracks, and invited Alexander II to the conference room.

The people on both sides sat down, and Li Zhen said straight to the point: "Your Excellency the Tsar, I won't beat around the bush. Regarding the fact that Muravyov led his troops to attack the city, it was Muravyov who led his troops to invade the Qing Dynasty, which was not allowed. Secondly, Muravyov's army was captured, and you came to exchange it for Muravyov. Let's just say it, what kind of conditions can you give? ”

A few words, straight to the point.

Alexander II calmly said: "Before talking about the conditions, I think it is necessary to correct a little. The area north of Heilongjiang was ceded to China by Yi, and three years ago, the area north of Heilongjiang was the place of Tsarist Russia. Now, it is you, Prince Li, who led the troops to invade, not us, we are just forced to fight back, this must be made clear. ”

Li Zhen sneered: "Who said that the area north of Heilongjiang belongs to Tsarist Russia, I haven't admitted it." ”

Alexander II said: "Yi agreed! ”

"Smack!!"

Li Zhen slapped the table, his voice raised, and said loudly: "Yi's words have always been. ”

Peng Yulin, Long Xi and others snickered, and Alexander II's expression was ugly.

Li Zhen didn't care so much, and continued: "Yi was wiped out by my army, he is a fart!" Tracing back to the source, the area north of Heilongjiang has always been in the Qing Dynasty, from the Kangxi period, it was Tsarist Russia that invaded us, and was finally defeated by Kangxi troops, you were driven back, and a treaty was signed to demarcate the national border. Now, it's not clear that you're coming to invade again? ”

Alexander II opened his mouth and retorted: "No, no, it's not like that. ”

Li Zhen continued: "The truth is this, when Yi betrayed the country and lost power, I have clearly stated that I do not recognize any of Yi's behavior. Moreover, the area north of Heilongjiang has always been of the Qing Dynasty, there is no doubt about it. The territorial issue of the country is non-negotiable, and this matter is non-negotiable. ”

The words were sonorous and powerful, and Alexander II's face changed slightly.
