Of course, in order to avoid a situation similar to that in Weihai again, the Manchu side specifically stated that it would set up a special office to supervise the armistice, including representatives of the United States, France, and Russia, so as to ensure that the two sides could faithfully fulfill the armistice agreement.

The negotiations continued, and from the next day, the delegation of the Celestial Empire peace talks, headed by Hong Renji, began to seriously discuss with the other side the terms proposed by the Manchu side, one by one, even word by word.

This qiē seems to be very irritable, and for Zaiyuan and the others, they are even a little anxious, when will they achieve their goal if they continue to talk about it like this? But for Pryushenko and others, it doesn't matter, so what's the point of talking about the last year and a half? Sometimes this is the case, those bureaucrats of the Qing Dynasty, few of them will look at the overall situation in their own court, they see more in front of them, in this regard, they are far inferior to outsiders like Pryushenko.

Since most of Sichuan and Shaanxi had been lost one after another, the Qing Dynasty had already reached out to Tibet, but they learned from the news that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was trying to contact Ngawang Yeshe Trichen Gyatso, the third regent of Tibet, to conduct so-called peace talks. In view of the urgency of the development of the form, in order to take advantage of Tibet's momentum in the northwest to contain the Taiping Red Army and support the inland operations, Cixi and others secretly sent envoys to contact the British side, and at the same time issued a decree asking the British to forward it to the Tibetan side. Cixi hoped that the British Government would cooperate in friendship with the local government of Tibet and actively help train and support the Tibetan army, and she also asked the relevant personnel in Tibet to learn from and carry forward the indomitable spirit of the Shaanxi-Gansu Hui Army and the Taiping "Red Bandits" and resolutely wage war against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the end.

Pryushenko already knew about the news coming from the headquarters of the coalition forces, and as long as the Tibetan side could make a big fuss like the Hui army in Shaanxi and Gansu, the nascent Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government would be in the midst of wolf smoke on all sides, and he would be in a hurry.

As the director of the northern camp, Lin Haifeng, in addition to making a speech on the first day of the talks, handed over all the work related to the peace talks to Hong Renji, Zuo Zongtang, Chen Yucheng, and others. As usual, he ran to the river embankment and went to the countryside, and in addition, he had to squeeze out time and take advantage of the evening when the negotiations were adjourned to sit down with some members of the Manchu delegation, and in his words, he only talked about "friendship" and did not talk about state affairs.

This time, Lin Haifeng was tired. When the Weihai victory in May came, almost no one around him saw much joy on his face. To say that he is unhappy, it is false, in fact, there is no time to be happy. He has too much to do.

He must take charge of the Yellow River's river engineering projects and self-help through production, and this is a major matter that has a bearing on the vital interests of the people along the river and also on maintaining a strong combat effectiveness while a large number of Red Army officers and men are actively engaged in construction. If he does not go down to the front line, he will not be able to accurately grasp the fatigue of the troops, and it is easy to say that it is easy to say that he has a gun and a tool in the other, but it is not easy to do.

The army that participated in the construction made him unforgettable, and the Red Army units that were waiting for him were even more concerned about it. In order to complete the idea that had been spinning in his mind, as soon as the first battle of Weihai ended, he began to secretly deploy and focus on strengthening several groups of people in the area from Lingbao to Mengjin, Guangrao, and Boxing. In addition, he has to personally guide and carefully arrange various camouflage against his opponents to confuse and deceive them. If nothing else, it was like a secret artillery position observed "by the way" by the representatives of Tsarist Russia, that is, a masterpiece completed under his personal guidance. The Red First Army was all resting and preparing for war in the areas of Weixian and Shouguang, not to mention that there was a howitzer regiment near Jinan, not even a single howitzer. Otherwise, where would there be such a coincidence, but the arranged "sightseeing route" happened to pass through this?

However, in addition to these, there is also something that worries him, and that is the problem of Shaanxi and Gansu.

Due to the constant interference of the Hui rebel forces, the Red Army's operations in northern Shaanxi were very difficult, and the Yan'an Fu campaign launched by the Qin and Japanese Gang Forces, although it was finally won after hard fighting, was only an empty city. Feng Jingni, the general of Yan'an, the Manchu Qing garrison, was almost desperate when he was desperate, and he used Ren Wu's Hui army to attack the back of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, and successfully withdrew the main force from Yan'an City and retreated to the Yulin area.

At this time, not only Feng Jingni can proudly confess to the imperial court, "...... Although the city was finally lost and the land was lost, Ranchen and his subordinate soldiers fought bloodily for more than 20 days, but the bandit army was ten thousand corpses under the city, and the main force of our army was not damaged. After this battle, the situation in northern Shaanxi has not deteriorated, and the minister can ensure that Yulin City is foolproof...... "For those mad dog-like Hui rioters, it is also like playing morphine, and they don't know how thick the sky is."

In order to win the cooperation of the majority of ordinary Hui brothers, to get out of this unfavorable situation, and to avoid the constant Hui riots and armed massacres of Han civilians everywhere, the headquarters of the Red Army adopted the utmost patience and restraint, and they were forced to completely stop the battle plan of northern Shaanxi against the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the troops began to move westward. At the same time, the Hui task force has been used to negotiate with Ningxia Hui leaders such as Ma Hualong, Ma Wanxuan, and Ma Mingqi countless times, and they have understood them with reason and emotion, hoping that the other side will put themselves in the shoes of the nation and not do painful things that harm others and themselves.

Ma Hualong and other upper-class figures of the Hui people are not unaware of the power of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, which was able to fight all the way from Yunnan, and of course they also know the consequences of such trouble. Seeing that the various units of the Red Army were gradually compressing towards Ningxia, Ma Hualong and others felt the crisis, and within the Hui armed forces, disagreements immediately appeared. There are already some smart people who have begun to realize that there is a limit to anyone's patience, and if they continue to kill like this, if they don't stop in time, when they really force the other party to endure it, then the final reward will definitely be the most ruthless.

After some secret discussions, the Hui leaders headed by Ma Hualong planned to accept the situation for the time being, and proposed to the Celestial Government that for the sake of friendly coexistence between the Hui and Han peoples, Ningxia Prefecture should implement Hui autonomy, and demanded that the Celestial Government give the Ningxia Hui people their due rights as the Manchus did with Tibet, and promised not to move the Han people into Ningxia Prefecture in the future. However, they still said that they could not accept the Red Army's suggestion that they must hand over Ren Wu, Bai Yanhu and other culprits of the riots.

As soon as Ma Hualong's negotiation conditions arrived at the headquarters of the Red Front Army, it immediately caused an uproar. Within the armed forces on the one hand, two completely different viewpoints have also formed. One view is even that if there are millions of Hui people in Shaanxi, Gansu and Gansu, and if this stalemate continues, the troops will be firmly dragged here, unable to advance or retreat. In this case, the main enemy at the moment is the Manchu court, and the complete overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is the last word.

Coincidentally, there are many influential figures like Qin Rigang who agree with this statement. To tell the truth, Qin Rigang is also forced, he can't beat these mobs to death, but these people don't know what to do, they are like leprosy dogs, biting you endlessly behind the buttocks, causing him to completely pacify northern Shaanxi within a month or two.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be a good person!

Li Xiucheng, as the acting chief of staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of the Celestial Empire, was sent to Jinan by Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai and others at such a time as the head of the condolence regiment, and it was naturally one thing to visit the front-line soldiers and civilians, but there was also a purpose, which was to consult Lin Haifeng's solution to the current situation in Shaanxi and Gansu.

To put it bluntly, the kind of opinion that appeared in the Red Army was also present in the government of the Celestial Empire.

"Director Lin, the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu is really difficult," in a grass shed at the Changqing River embankment construction site, Li Xiucheng, Tan Shaoguang, Chen Tingxiang and others sat around Lin Haifeng, "There are big differences of opinion, but at this time, Huang Zaixing is tired and sick, and the report says that he is very sick, and Lin Fengxiang is under great pressure now." The behavior of those Hui soldiers originally made the officers and men hold their stomachs, and if they were not used well, they were likely to have a negative impact. ”
