"Lord Lin, His Majesty the Emperor is willing to reach a peace agreement with the Chinese Empire to end this war. The protracted war has caused countless deaths and displaced many others. This is a kind of sorrow for the entire land of China. This kind of thing should not go on. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor was kind-hearted and proposed peace talks with the Chinese Empire to end the war. This is very beneficial for both of us! Min Xi said.

"Hehe, Lord Min! I admit that the current war is indeed a loss for China. However, the war was soon coming to an end. The empire has already won a decisive victory. If it weren't for the sudden onset of winter, we might have reached the city of Beijing. The Manchu Qing Dynasty will no longer exist zài. When the time comes, the war will be over. After the unification of China, the empire will carry out large-scale aid and social reforms in the north. The lives of the people of the north will soon be better. As the saying goes, this is the truth! Imperial Foreign Minister Lin Zihao said.

"No, Lord Lin. Although now your army has achieved an advantage. However, the Qing Dynasty was not without opportunities. The Qing Dynasty also had the support of Russia and other friendly countries. It is not so easy for your country to destroy the Qing Dynasty. Besides, the war between our two countries is a civil war, and if it goes on like this, it will only cheapen those foreigners! Min Xi said.

"Humph! You still have the face to say this. Didn't the secret treaty you signed with the Russians sell the interests of the country almost to the bottom of it? "Speaking of which. Lin Zihao was a little angry. Emperor Long Yufei hated the Manchus even more.

"Lord Lin, this is none of the matter of His Majesty the Emperor! It's all the regent's doing. His Majesty the Emperor also did not agree with them betraying the interests of the state. Merely. The regent is powerful, and His Majesty the Emperor has no other way. If His Majesty the Emperor had been able to control the power of the court, none of this would have happened. Min Xi hurriedly cleared up the relationship. The Chinese Imperial Army wiped out tens of thousands of Russians in the first battle of Shengjing, and the Chinese Imperial Emperor Long Yufei even clamored to destroy Russia, and he also knew. If you get involved with Russia at this time, isn't that looking for your own death?

"Haha, I kind of heard it. Do you mean to ask us to help Emperor Xianfeng regain control of the Manchus? Lin Zihao asked. This made him cry and laugh a little. Regardless of whether the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in power by Emperor Xianfeng or the regent Aixin Jueluo. Mianyu is in power. This has nothing to do with the Chinese Empire. As long as the Manchu Qing is destroyed, it will be a hundred. How could the Chinese Empire support Emperor Xianfeng? That's not about raising tigers. Are you uncomfortable with yourself? I really don't know what Emperor Xianfeng thinks, he actually thought that the Chinese Empire would support it. Could it be that his brain was kicked by a donkey, or caught by a door? Or is it stupid to be a puppet emperor?

"Lord Lin, if your country is willing to support His Majesty. We have agreed to cede the provinces of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu to your country. Min Xi hurriedly said. This was one of the Manchu conditions that his teacher, Mu Zhang'a, put forward for him. If the Chinese Empire does not agree. They can also continue to add weight. Of course, if the Chinese Empire could agree, then they would have earned.

"No, Min-sama. These provinces are already under the control of the Imperial Army. And, starting tomorrow spring, we'll be in control of more. It's whimsical for you to use what doesn't belong to you anymore. Lin Zihao said a little speechlessly.

"Lord Lin, don't be in a hurry to refuse. We have another option. That is, the Qing Dynasty withdrew from the Guannai. We retreated to the gates. Since then, he has never set foot in the customs again. In the future, our two countries can also become a kingdom of kings and vassals. The Qing Dynasty guarded the northern border for your country. Min Xi saw that Lin Zihao was about to refuse completely, and hurriedly said the final bottom line.

"Go back to the gates? That's what you're still thinking! However, I think you're overthinking. His Majesty the Emperor said that not only the inside of the gate is ours, but also the outside of the gate is ours. The northeast, as well as the Mongolian steppes, would become the territory of the empire. So, you don't have to think about it anymore. Lin Zihao said. Emperor Long Yufei also has a deep affection for the land. In addition, the Imperial Army needed to produce horses, and the Mongolian steppe was undoubtedly the most suitable place, and of course it would not be ceded to the Manchus. Besides, those nomadic peoples in history, after occupying the north, repeatedly attacked the interior, and eventually led the countries in the pass to be gradually wiped out by them. How can such history continue to repeat itself?

Min Xi was dumbfounded, as if he did not expect that the appetite of the Chinese Empire would be so great, not only to recapture the entire Guannei, but also to occupy the Guanwai.

"Lord Lin, how can this work? Even the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty in the past only include Guannai. Outside the Guan, the ancestral land of our Manchus and Mongols! Min Xi retorted.

"Humph! If you can occupy our land for 200 years, why can't we Han people rule the Northeast and the Mongolian steppe for 200 years or even longer! Lord Min, I advise you not to waste any more time, the Empire will not agree to your unreasonable demands. Lin Zihao said.

"How so? Why is this the case? Lord Lin, is your country really going to be wiped out? If that's the case, I'll definitely fight to the end. When the time comes, your country will also pay heavy losses! Min Xi threatened.

"Well, I'm going to see what you can do with it. The empire has hundreds of thousands of elite armies, as well as the support of hundreds of millions of people. And what about you? In the end, there will only be one result, and that is that all of you are dead! Of course, the Mongols will not be with you. Even the monk Grinqin has surrendered to us! In the future, more and more Mongols will take refuge in us. Lin Zihao said disdainfully. Once the Mongols fell to the empire, the Manchus were no longer even qualified to fight the empire.

Min Xi collapsed on the chair all of a sudden, and the whole person seemed to fall into despair all of a sudden. Lin Zihao's words completely shattered his remaining confidence.

"Lord Lin, please tell your Emperor His Majesty the sincerity of my Qing Dynasty. Perhaps, he will agree with our mention of yì! Min Xi hurriedly said, as if a drowning man had grabbed a straw.

"Lord Min, I will report to His Majesty. However, I can tell you very strictly, Your Majesty will never agree to such a condition! Lin Zihao glanced at Min Xi with pity. The current Manchu Qing Dynasty has come to the last moment. It is absolutely impossible for them to continue to maintain their rule.

Min Xi left Lin Zihao's mansion in despair. For him, this trip to Guangzhou was a complete failure.

The next day, Imperial Foreign Minister Lin Zihao met with Emperor Long Yufei and mentioned to him the mention of the little Manchu emperor. Long Yufei laughed on the spot, as if he had heard some joke.

"Lord Lin, I really don't know what Emperor Xianfeng thinks? Why do they still have such thoughts as zài, at this time, they still want to linger. Long Yufei shook his head speechlessly, he really felt incredible.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister also thought they were whimsical." Lin Zihao said.

"Sue them, die of this heart! The Northeast and the Mongolian steppe, we must take it. Although the Northeast is barren now, it is a treasure of feng shui. Although the climate is cold, the soil is fertile, and once cultivated, it can feed hundreds of millions of people. Not to mention anything else, there is no problem for us to emigrate 20 to 30 million people to the Northeast. As for the Mongolian steppes, we need those Mongolian cavalry to fight for us, and we also need war horses from the Mongolian steppes to equip the imperial army. In both places, we will never give up. In addition, in the future, if we want to fight against Russia, we will have to send troops from the Mongolian steppe. Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I have already rejected the Manchu side. Lin Zihao nodded. In fact, he had already expected what Long Yufei meant. That's why they directly rejected the Manchu Qing side. He knew Long Yufei's character very well, and he would never spit out these fat meat that was about to eat up in his mouth.

In Long Yufei's plan, the Northeast is the direction of the Empire's key immigration in the future, and the Northeast and the land north of Heilongjiang can accommodate up to 50 million people once it is reclaimed. This is already equivalent to one-eighth of the apparent total population of the empire. In addition, the Mongolian steppe must also be controlled. In order to win over the Mongols, it is necessary to use not only military deterrence, but also economic power to closely link the empire with those nobles and even ordinary Mongols in the Mongolian steppe. In this way, the Mongols could only follow the empire, and eventually gradually integrate into the empire as a whole.

In the future, the battlefields of the war against Russia will be mainly in Siberia and Central Asia. These places have a harsh climate and are vast and sparsely populated. Cavalry would become the main combat force, and the transportation of supplies would also be mainly carried by horses. There were not many places in the empire to produce horses, and the Mongolian steppe was undoubtedly the most important one. After taking the Mongolian steppe, the empire no longer had to worry about horses. In addition, those elite Mongol cavalry will definitely burst into strong combat effectiveness after being trained and mixed with the cavalry of the empire. At that time, the empire will be able to rely on these powerful cavalry and the Russians to fight for Siberia and even all of Central Asia. As for Long Yufei's bold words before, if he wants to destroy the whole of Russia, this is not an easy task, and he has to do it step by step. (To be continued......)
