"Summation? Is it still going to get to this point? "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu muttered. After becoming the regent of the Manchu Dynasty, he was also ambitious and wanted to revive the Manchu Dynasty and build the Manchu Dynasty into a powerful empire. However, after a few years, I didn't expect such a result. The army of millions built up was still unable to withstand the attack of the Chinese Empire* army. In two months, most of it has already been lost. The current Manchu Qing Dynasty has come to the last moment. It may not be long before it will perish.

"Lord Wang, it's really time for us to consider suing for peace with the rebels. We have no other way but to sum! Chief Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing also said. No one wants to see it come this far. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that peace has become the last resort for the Manchus to survive. Otherwise, the Manchus would have been destroyed. And they, the rulers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, will definitely not end well.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wen. Can we think of other ways? For example, ask for help from foreign friends. Especially Russia and Great Britain. If they are willing to help us, there may be room for the situation to be reversed. Minister of Military Aircraft and Minister of War Shangshu Yucheng said.

The regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu's eyes lit up, and he completely understood that with the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was impossible to confront the Chinese Empire. Only foreigners can do it. The only country that had better relations with the Manchus was Britain besides Russia. Especially Russia. It is still at war with the Chinese Empire.

"Humph! Will they help the Daqing? The British do not see the rabbit and do not scatter the eagle. They will not get involved in the war when it is not clear. Now that the battle situation has become clear, my Qing Dynasty is already at an absolute disadvantage. They will be even less likely to get involved in war. If they don't fall into the ground, this is already human. As for the Russians, they slammed their heads under Shengjing and suffered heavy losses. This sudden cooling has caused many Russians to freeze to death. The minions can understand that these foreigners are completely bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. Their real combat effectiveness. It is estimated that it is not much stronger than my army of the Qing Dynasty, and I still dare not fight with the rebels! Chief Military Minister Wen Qing said hatefully. If the war had begun, Britain and Russia would have sided with the Manchus. And if the army was directly dispatched to fight against the Chinese Empire, perhaps the war situation would not have turned out like this. However, it is too late to say this.

"No, Lord Wen. We should also work on it. If the Qing Dynasty is destroyed by the rebels. For both of them. There is no benefit either. Only by preserving the Qing Dynasty can we continue to contain the rebels. This is what Russia and Britain would like to see. In addition, we have signed a secret agreement with Russia. But if the Qing Dynasty perished, the rebels would definitely not recognize the secret agreement. Therefore, if the Russians want Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northeast China, they have to defeat the rebels. I believe that with the full support of Russia and Britain, it will not be possible to defeat the rebels. But a decent peace can still be achieved! "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu said. He himself knew that the Manchus had lost this battle. If you can pay a certain price. And then to end the war, this would be the best outcome for the Manchus. And this requires the support of Britain and Russia. With the power of the Manchus alone, that was simply impossible. The Chinese Empire can destroy them lightly!

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Chief Military Minister Wen Qing nodded. Finally, it's okay to make a little more effort. In that case, the Manchus would have more room for manoeuvre. Of course, if it can be successful, it will be the best.

"Lord Yu, you are in charge of negotiating with the British, and implore them to help the Qing Dynasty. Talk to the Russians. This is directly related to the life and death of the Qing Dynasty, you need to be attentive! "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu instructed.

"Yes, my lord. Minions obey! Both the Minister of Military Aircraft, Saishana and Yucheng, hurriedly said. This is not only related to the fate of the Manchus, but also to their own fate, whether they can continue to enjoy glory and wealth in the future depends on this time.

After that, the Minister of Military Aircraft and Foreign Minister Saishana and the Minister of Military Aircraft and Minister of War Shangshu Yucheng met with the Russian and British envoys in Beijing non-stop, begging them to pull the Manchu Qing at this last moment. Otherwise, the Manchu Qing would be completely finished.

When the Minister of War and Foreign Affairs Saishana arrived at the Russian Embassy in Manchuria, the Russian Minister to Manchuria, Ivan, was discussing the current situation with Muravyov, the Russian Governor-General of the Far East. The remnants of the defeated army led by Governor Muravyov have already entered the Shanhai Pass. For these tens of thousands of Russian troops, the Manchus sincerely accepted them. After all, they are now suffering heavy losses, and if there is the support of tens of thousands of Russian troops, life will undoubtedly be better. However, the Russian troops were arranged in the Fengtai camp, while the governor of the Far East, Muravyov, and a group of senior generals came to Beijing.

The current situation is also very unfavorable for the Russian army. Of the original 250,000 troops, there was only so little left. It is even more impossible to use these armies to confront the Chinese Empire. By the time of Shengjing City, the Russian army had already seen the strength of the Chinese Imperial Army. Governor Muravyov had already reported to Moscow what to do next, and was also asking His Majesty the Tsar for guidance. However, it is foreseeable that the continuation of military operations in the Far East will require the judgment of Tsar Nicholas I.

"Good morning, Governor, Minister!" After seeing the two of them, the Manchu military minister and foreign minister Sai Shang'a had a smile on his face.

"Hello, please take a seat!" Minister Ivan said. Governor Muravyov did not know Chinese, so Colonel Nevelskoy sat behind him and acted as an interpreter for him.

"Lord Sai, what are you doing this time?" After the servant of the legation brought the coffee, Minister Ivan asked directly. They all knew that the current situation should be very unfavorable for the Manchus. So when Sezanne came this time, he must have come to ask for help. However, the Russians are already unable to protect themselves this time, where is there any spare strength to rescue them!

"Your Excellency the Governor, Your Majesty, I will not tell you anything. This time, I think we have been ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince Regent to ask our Russian friends for help. In the decisive battle of the Central Plains, we suffered heavy losses, and now we have less than 300,000 troops left. The territory owned by it is only Zhili, Shanxi and the northwest region. With the current strength of the Qing Dynasty, if you want to confront the Chinese Empire, it is simply impossible. Therefore, we need the support of our Russian allies! The smile on Seshana's face faded, and he made a formal request to Russia.

"As allies of the Qing Kingdom, we are willing to help you. However, you also see the current shape shì. Because of the preparation not to charge, our army also suffered heavy losses under Shengjing City. I'm afraid I won't be able to give enough help to Qingguo in a short period of time! Governor Muravyov said.

"Your Excellency the Governor, if Russia does not help the Qing Dynasty, then the Qing Dynasty will really be finished. Once the purge is over, those rebels will be even stronger, which is definitely not a good thing for Russia! Now the rebels have declared war on Russia. If the rebels are allowed to unify China, their strength will be even stronger. When the time comes, there will be no force in the entire East that can restrain them anymore! Sezanne said. In containing the development of the Chinese Empire, the Manchus and Russia were consistent. However, at least for now, they no longer have the strength to contain the development of the Chinese Empire.

Governor Muravyov frowned, and Minister Ivan's face was also unpleasant. Originally, they all thought that with the strength of Russia and the million-strong army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it should not be difficult to defeat the Chinese Empire. But now, only two months after the start of the war, the winner has already been decided. The Manchus had already lost a lot, and their demise was already on the horizon. Even the Russian army has planted a big heel. However, as Cezanne said, if the Manchus were destroyed and the Chinese Empire unified China, it would not be a good thing for Russia. A powerful empire with a strong desire to expand as a neighbor is definitely a threat to Russia. More importantly, this neighbor also has a persistent pursuit of land, which is almost exactly the same as in Russia. From this it can be predicted that there will be absolutely no peace between the Chinese Empire and Russia. To make matters worse, the two countries are now at war. Some time ago, the emperors of the two countries also made-for-tat statements, declaring that they would destroy each other. Under these circumstances, Russia seemed to have no other way but to help the Manchus and continue to fight against the Chinese Empire.

"Lord Sai, Russia is willing to help Qing Guo. However, we are still waiting for instructions from St. Petersburg! Governor Muravyov said. What the Russian army should do next, he did not know until he received an order from Tsar Nicholas I.

Saishana nodded, he also understood that the Russian army had suffered heavy losses this time, and if he wanted to help the Manchus, he was afraid that he would be powerless. However, Russia is a powerful empire, with a standing army of 1.4 million, and now it has lost more than 200,000, and there are not more than 1 million? Just send a few hundred thousand more to the Far East, and it is estimated that it will be able to solve the problem. Even if the Chinese Empire cannot be defeated, it should not be much of a problem to force the Chinese Empire to accept peace terms! (To be continued......)
