Emperor Guangxu met with Ren Chao and praised Ren Chao's achievements in the Northeast. Emperor Guangxu did not expect that Ren Chao could really defeat the Tsarist Russians, although it is not yet a complete defeat of Tsarist Russia, but at least Jilin's victory is obvious to all. Moreover, by the time Ren Chao arrived in Beijing, the Tiger Army had already recovered all the lost territories in Heilongjiang and Jilin, and the Russian army had all withdrawn to Russian territory.

"Ren Aiqing, this time you broke Tsarist Russia, and I am ready to reward you. It's just that the war is not over yet, although Ren Aiqing annihilated the main force of the Russian army in the Far East in Jilin, but in case the Tsarist Russians increase their troops in the Far East from the European side, I'm afraid~" Emperor Guangxu suddenly stopped when he said this, and his brows couldn't help frowning. Emperor Guangxu's worries are not unreasonable, after all, the strength of Tsarist Russia is obvious to all, after all, the Russian army in the Far East is only a small part of Tsarist Russia, and Tsarist Russia in Europe has even more powerful strength. Although the battle of Jilin was very pleasant, it would also anger Tsarist Russia, and if Tsarist Russia did not hesitate to increase its troops in the Far East, it would be a big trouble. Although Emperor Guangxu hated Ren Chao, a rebellious minister and thief, he didn't want to watch the great rivers and mountains in the Northeast fall into the hands of Tsarist Russia. Although Ren Chao is rebellious, after all, he has no anti-Qing heart for the time being. Therefore, the victory of the Tiger Ben Army can be regarded as preserving the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qing Dynasty in a sense.

"It is the duty of the ministers to play the emperor, serve the country, and share the worries of the emperor, and the ministers dare not take credit, let alone receive the emperor's reward." Ren Chao said respectfully, "As for the emperor's concern that the Russians will not give up and increase their troops in the Far East, the minister thinks that the emperor does not have to worry. ”

"Oh! It seems that Aiqing already has a way to deal with it, so let's talk about it and listen to me. Emperor Guangxu couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, presumably the Emperor also knows that at present, Tsarist Russia's main focus is on Europe, where they have more powerful enemies, that is, Germany and Austria-Hungary. With these two countries to contain Tsarist Russia, the minister thought that if Tsarist Russia wanted to increase its troops in the Far East on a large scale, it would definitely have to weigh it carefully. Ren Chao hurriedly replied, "Of course, we can't pin all our hopes on the Germans and Austria-Hungary, after all, these foreign devils are not of our race, and there is no good thing." But we now have an extra chip. ”

"What chips? Let's hear about it. Emperor Guangxu hurriedly asked.

"That bargaining chip is Alekseev, the Russian Governor-General of the Far East." Ren Chao replied honestly.

"I forgot, you captured this enemy chieftain. It's just that how does Aiqing plan to use this, what Alekseev? Emperor Guangxu frowned, and finally did not mispronounce the name of this mouth-twister.

"Your Majesty, this Alekseev is not an ordinary Russian nobleman, as far as the ministers know, this Alekseev is the illegitimate son of the established Tsar Alexander II, that is, the uncle of the current Russian Tsar Nicholas II. It's because of this special identity. So this Alekseev is extremely powerful in Russia. And now that this Alekseev has been captured alive by us, on the one hand, we can use this as a bargaining chip to blackmail the Tsarist government, and on the other hand, we can find a way to get Alekseev to agree to negotiate peace with us, and the minister thinks that Alekseev will definitely not refuse in order to save his own life. As long as Alekseev agrees to negotiate peace, he can also influence the Tsarist government to some extent. Moreover, after the battle of Jilin, the Tsarist Russians must have also understood the strength of our Tiger Army, and knew that our Qing Dynasty was by no means as weak and deceitful as before. In this way, the Tsarist government considered the overall situation. It is impossible not to take into account the strength in Europe, and even if they increase their forces in the Far East, they are not sure of victory, plus Alekseev is from it as a bridge. Presumably, the Russians will most likely agree to make peace with us. Ren Chaozai carefully analyzed the current shape to Emperor Guangxu.

Emperor Guangxu couldn't help but nod slightly after listening to Ren Chao's words, although he had a headache after listening to the messy things of the Russian royal family, he also understood what Ren Chao meant. "Hmmm! According to Aiqing's words, this Tsarist Russia may not continue to be the enemy of our Qing Dynasty. In that case, I am relieved. Then this matter will trouble Aiqing a lot, if you can reach a collegiate agreement as much as possible, and turn the conflict into a jade silk. Ren Aiqing is another great achievement! It's just that this Tsarist has always been greedy and insufficient, in case he takes the opportunity to make some unreasonable demands, then we~! ”

"The emperor can rest assured that in order to reach a collegiate agreement as much as possible, we will make some concessions, that is for sure. However, when it comes to territorial administrative sovereignty, it is non-negotiable, so we can only make concessions in such areas as trade, mining and factories, and the construction of railways. If the Russians are still greedy and deceive too much, then we are not afraid of a war. My 100,000 Tiger Army Chen soldiers in the northeast have the ability and confidence to defeat any invading enemy. Ren Chao said righteously.

"I am completely relieved to have Aiqing's words, Aiqing is right, the issue of sovereignty is non-negotiable. As for other aspects, it can be discussed. Emperor Guangxu nodded and said.

"The Emperor Shengming!" Ren Chao said respectfully.

"Then this matter will be handed over to Aiqing to be fully responsible, and Aiqing will hurry up to handle this matter in the near future! As for Aiqing's merits, I have already written them down, and I will reward them when this matter is thoroughly understood. Emperor Guangxu said with a smile, this time Emperor Guangxu was completely relieved. Although the situation that Emperor Guangxu hoped for was not seen in the defeat of the Tiger Army and Tsarist Russia, Emperor Guangxu was still very happy to be able to defeat Tsarist Russia. As for Ren Chao, a chaotic minister and thief, there is no way that Ren Chao's power is too great now, at least no one in North China can threaten Ren Chao, and Ren Chao in Beijing is even more single-handed. In the face of this kind of shape, Emperor Guangxu could only temporarily endure and slowly find a way to get rid of Ren Chao. And before getting rid of Ren Chao, it is natural to take a good look at Ren Chao, so as not to take risks and do some more rebellious things, which is related to his own net worth and life, Emperor Guangxu can't be cautious.

"Command!" Ren Chao responded respectfully.

From Ren Chao's point of view, he was still worried that Emperor Guangxu was not easy to control, after all, this Guangxu Emperor was indeed not a faint monarch from his various appearances, and he was not a child who didn't understand anything, Ren Chao was worried that this emperor was not easy to control, but in the past six months, Emperor Guangxu's expression has been very satisfying to Ren Chao. Since you are so superior, Ren Chao doesn't mind letting him sit in the position of emperor for two more years, after all, this emperor is still very useful now. And although he is the emperor, Ren Chao is in control of the power, and what he should do will not be delayed. Such a situation is good for both Ren Chao and Emperor Guangxu. So the two of them are also very tacitly maintaining this situation from being broken. (To be continued......)
