"We've done everything, and now it's up to us to see if the one really does what he says. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Looking at a telegram in his hand, Shen Yue said coldly to his subordinates.

"My lord, at this time, isn't it a bit ...... to pin all your hopes on the promises of the enemy?" a councilor sat next to Shen Yue's hand and asked with doubts.

Shen Yue looked at the other party's eyes and grinned: "Sometimes, a promise from an enemy is much more reliable than an ally. The British want us and the Ming Empire to consume each other, but the Ming Empire may not have this idea. ”

After finishing speaking, he threw the message with the secret words at his feet: "In Tuozhou...... Those Miao Shengye's cronies should be cleaned up as soon as possible. ”

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the door: "Send a message to that person, send the sincerity of our side, and see if that person has a desire for peace......"

What he wants is not a short-lived, unwilling peace like Miao Shengye, what he wants is eternal peace, recognized by both sides, eternal peace.

Walking out of the door, Shen Yue turned his head sideways, looked at the group of officers waiting outside the door, and gave another order of his own: "The order of the speaker is to gather troops and prepare to increase troops to Luzon!" ”

As a mature politician, he certainly couldn't pin all his hopes on the enemy's promises, and if the enemy wasn't going to pay for his promises, he Shen Yue wouldn't mind giving the enemy some impressive lessons.

One of his subordinates turned around and left amid the chatter of the crowd. Whether the Shen family can really return to the pinnacle of Ceylon depends on the development of things next.

……

Beijing, inside the Forbidden City.

Zhu Mu put down the documents in his hand and looked at Chen Yue, who was anxious to see him, suspiciously: "You mean, the Shen family in Ceylon really killed Miao Shengye?" ”

A tricky enemy was replaced by a promise of his own? Could it be that the Shen family believed in such an illusory promise of their own?

On this telegram from the dark line, Shen Yue said so...... It's just that he doesn't have any evidence. On such a major issue, Chen Yue could not make his own judgment.

As the head of the Ming Empire's foreign intelligence, Chen Yue certainly knew how making a wrong judgment on this kind of matter would affect the battle situation.

Believing the Ceylonese and making a gesture of peaceful truce, this is a countermeasure; It is another thing to believe the story of the rotten people, but continue the war and not fulfill their promises.

I don't believe the Ceylonese people's statement, and I am sure that Miao Shengye is not dead, and there are also two different reactions. Pretending to believe it to paralyze the opponent or directly saying that it is not believed is a choice......

"Give Ceylon a signal that we are willing to talk to them." Zhu Mu did not suffer from gains and losses, sat in his own position, and directly gave his own answer.

He chose to believe in the other party, and he seemed to be more willing to trust his opponent than to doubt: "I believe that the Shen family really killed Miao Shengye, because they have no reason to give up such a good opportunity." ”

In fact, Zhu Mu didn't have any good choices. The other side has achieved an overwhelming advantage at sea, and the Ming Empire has also won on land.

Forcing an exchange would not do any good to either side, and he might as well exchange the southeast peninsula he was holding in his hand for a more decent peace treaty.

All the forces involved in the war are looking for a step of compromise, an opportunity to sit down on both sides. Obviously, this is a good opportunity, and Zhu Mu decided to seize this opportunity.

Before the coastal cities of the Ming Empire were smashed by battleships, Zhu Mu also wanted to end the war, integrate the areas he occupied before, and stabilize his rhythm.

Similarly, although Miao Shengye's next plan for Ceylon is very good, Ceylon actually does not want to continue to fight - it has already suffered heavy losses, and it will be more than worth the losses if it continues to fight.

The war had already cost Ceylon a large number of soldiers, and the industries of the southeastern peninsula had shrunk dramatically, turning the once rich areas into front-line ......

Using such a huge place as the Southeast Peninsula to exchange the islands of Luzon in Taiwan is definitely not a suitable deal. What Miao Shengye did was the best choice for stop loss, but it was not an equivalent exchange.

Regardless of whether Miao Shengye is really dead, or whether he is cheating on death with the Shen family, Zhu Mu chooses to believe such a piece of information. The choice he made was to find an opportunity for a total truce.

……

"Report!" An officer of the Ming Empire walked into Sima Mingwei's temporary headquarters in Pa'an with a telegram: "Your Majesty's order, our army will stop continuing to move south. ”

"Your Majesty personally ordered us to stop the offensive operations in the south?" Sima Mingwei took the message, then looked at the order on it carefully, and smiled bitterly.

He didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor, who was far away in Beijing, would suddenly cross the General Headquarters of the Southeast Peninsula and issue such an inexplicable battle order.

At least in his opinion, his army group could take the opportunity to move south and attack the Ceylonese troops, who were already in confusion and had no reinforcements in the direction of Bangkok.

However, he had no reason to refuse Zhu Mu's order, at least until he received another order from the General Headquarters of the Southeast Peninsula to move to the left.

"Let the armored forces stop the advance, send reconnaissance units, search the area within 20 kilometers of the front line, and ensure the absolute security of the flanks of the troops." Sima Mingwei gave his own orders.

Soon, the 5th Army, which was rapidly moving south, suddenly and inexplicably stopped its offensive, sparing the surrounding Ceylon defenses, which could be wiped out in just one morning.

The same thing happened in the eastern part of the Southeast Peninsula, where Wang Yan, like Sima Mingwei, received a telegram from Jingshi.

His Majesty the Emperor ordered him to halt his advance, and he had no choice but to send a telegram to the General Headquarters, waiting for a new round of instructions from the General Headquarters.

However, Wang Jue's reply to him was very fast, and there was only a simple and concise order on it - according to His Majesty's command, stop advancing.

Wang Jue didn't want to leave Zhu Mu with a dangerous impression of him constantly dispatching at such a time. Everything he can do has already been done, and the following things can only be left to others to do.

Therefore, the response that Ceylon had been waiting for finally appeared the day after Miao Shengye's death. The Ming Empire responded positively, and the flames of war on the southeast peninsula began to extinguish, giving the Shen family the capital to stand up all of a sudden.
