"What remedy?" Aleksayev seemed to be a drowning man grasping the last straw, and asked with an urgent face, Aleksayev had completely forgotten at this time, and it was the guy in front of him who pushed him into the water at that time.

Ren Chao sighed slightly and continued, "The defeat in the Far East has been cast, and the general has an unshirkable responsibility as the supreme commander of the Russian army, which is naturally beyond doubt, but there is an idiom in our country that I don't know if the general has heard of it, that is, to make up for it!" ”

"Make up for it?" Aleksayev couldn't help but frown.

"Yes, it's just to make up for it!" Ren Chao nodded and said, as if he was afraid that Aleksayev would not understand, Ren Chao then explained, "The so-called merit makes up for mistakes, simply put, His Excellency the General has made a mistake now, but if at this time, His Excellency the General makes another contribution, he can use the merit to offset it." If this merit is large enough, the general may also be rewarded by His Majesty the Tsar. ”

Aleksayev did not dare to hope for the award, and if he could escape this crime, Aleksayev would be content. But the question is how to offset the work? You can't let him destroy more than 100,000 people in turn! In this way, he can offset the merits, but the problem is that he doesn't have the strength? Ren Chao won't be stupid, take out more than 100,000 people and let him kill and play! In Aleksayev's heart, Ren Chao is a very tough general, and he openly started a war with Tsarist Russia at the beginning, which can be seen from this, and this guy will not suffer any losses, so how can he make up for it?

While Aleksayev was pondering, Ren Chao smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you have analyzed the current situation just now, and we have reached a consensus, whether it is for your country. Again, for our country, this is a wrong war that should not have happened. Therefore, we should do everything we can to end this war. Presumably, Your Excellency the General has also guessed, I have invited you to Beijing to end this war as much as possible. Your Excellency the General may wish to think about it, if the General can facilitate this peace talks, it can be said that it will be a great achievement for your country, so that the General can make up for it! ”

Aleksayev couldn't help but nod slightly, "What General Ren said is extremely true, but unless it is for my Tsarist government to win greater interests in the Far East, this can be regarded as a credit." Otherwise, it will make my guilt even greater. Aleksayev was not stupid either, and immediately realized the crux of the matter.

"You and I are old friends, so naturally I won't embarrass His Excellency the General." Ren Chao said with a smile.

"So how does General Ren plan to guarantee the interests of my Tsarist Russia in the Far East?" Aleksayev asked tentatively.

"Well! It's the specifics of the negotiations. However, what His Excellency General has to do now is to immediately win the right to negotiate, lest the Tsar order to send negotiators, so that the credit will go to someone else. Rest assured! As a friend, I won't embarrass you. Ren Chao said with a harmless smile on his face.

"Thank you General Ren for reminding me, I know what to do!" Aleksayev pondered for a while, nodded and said. Aleksayev also guessed that Ren Chao is now also desperate to reach a collegiate agreement with Tsarist Russia. These words are just nonsense words that Ren Chao coaxed him to be fooled! But Alekseev can't help but be fooled, because as things stand, this may be the only chance to make amends. Aleksayev was more concerned about his own interests than the interests of the Tsarist government. This old guy isn't that selfless. Otherwise, I would not have done the stupid thing of embezzling the navy's military funds to keep my mistress. Purely from this matter, this old guy has a fight with Cixi's old lady.

The two chatted for a while, and then Ren Chao got up and said goodbye, "So I won't disturb His Excellency the General's rest." I was very happy with this meeting with the general, and I will come back to visit him again if I have time in the future. ”

"General Ren is polite, and I am very happy to meet the general. If I have time, I will also go to the house to meet the general. Aleksayev said with a smile.

After Ren Chao left, Aleksayev immediately discussed with Ye Feng to go to the post office to send a telegram to the Tsarist government. Ye Feng naturally wouldn't stop it, and immediately ordered someone to arrange for Aleksayev to go to the post office.

After Ren Chao left the courtyard where Aleksayev was being held, he did not go home directly, but went to the War Department first.

"How? Is there any update on the situation in the Northeast? Ren Chao called Yang Jichang into his office and asked.

"At present, the situation in the northeast is quite stable, and the Russian army has not made any major moves recently. Although the Russian government has sent some troops to support the Far East, there is no sign of a major increase in troops in the Far East so far, and it is estimated that the Russian government is also hesitating. Yang Jichang replied honestly.

Ren Chao nodded slightly, "That's good, we also need enough time now to stabilize the rear and develop our strength." As long as the Russian government hesitates, then this peace talks will basically be completed! ”

Yang Jichang nodded lightly, "I heard that Li Hongzhang was sick again and postponed his trip north. ”

Ren Chao sighed helplessly and said, "Yes, this old guy has made up his mind and refuses to come to Beijing." After Ren Chao captured Beijing, he immediately set up a cabinet, and Emperor Guangxu personally issued an edict appointing Li Hongzhang as the prime minister of the cabinet. However, Li Hongzhang has always refused to go north under the pretext of illness, and Ren Chao has issued several orders in the name of Emperor Guangxu to urge Li Hongzhang to go north, but Li Hongzhang refused.

Ren Chao eliminated the main force of the Russian Far East Military Region in Jilin in one fell swoop, so that the military strength of the Russian army in the Far East was almost lost, even if the Russian army transferred troops from Europe to support the Far East, it would take time to rush over thousands of miles, so the current situation in the Northeast is relatively stable. So Ren Chao wanted to take this opportunity to integrate these princes in the country. And the first target chosen by Ren Chao was Li Hongzhang. With Li Hongzhang's influence in China, as long as Li Hongzhang can be held hostage to Beijing, more than half of the domestic affairs will be resolved, and it will be much easier to unify the whole country when the time comes. Ren Chao is still in line with the principle that if he can, he will not fight, after all, there is only this foundation in the country, and once he fights, he will lose everything.

"Do you want to take some coercive measures?" Yang Jichang asked tentatively.

"I'm also thinking about this, since Li Hongzhang, an old guy, insists on refusing to go back to Beijing, then we can only take some coercive measures!" Ren Chao pondered for a while, and suddenly said with a stern face. (To be continued......)
