A young man appeared in front of Yucheng, the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Manchu Dynasty and the secretary of the Ministry of War, with a vigorous face and a pair of eyes shining with confidence, which made Yucheng, an old guy over fifty years old, feel a trace of envy in his heart. Is it these young people that the Chinese Empire in the south is being promoted? And the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has been in the customs for 200 years, is more like an old man who is about to enter the ground. It's just that now the Chinese Empire has gently pushed the Manchus and sent the Manchus into the coffin in advance.

"Yu-sama, hello, I'm glad you killed me without saying a word!" Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng said with a smile. It was undoubtedly a great risk for him to persuade Yucheng to surrender in person. Yucheng, as the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the secretary of the Ministry of War, was undoubtedly one of the highest-ranking officials of the Manchu Dynasty. If Yucheng didn't have the heart to rebel, it would be completely self-defeating for him to persuade him to surrender. However, according to the information obtained by the Imperial * Military Intelligence Bureau, this guy Yucheng is undoubtedly a big corrupt official, although his ability is not very good, but he is very capable in seeking benefits for himself. According to the statistics of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the property owned by Yucheng, including those gold and silver, foreign exchange, real estate and land properties combined, was at least more than 20 million taels of silver. Such a huge fortune has been earned by Yucheng over the years, which shows how great this guy's ability to collect money is.

Now, the Manchu Qing are about to fall, and as a high-ranking Manchu official, Yucheng's future is undoubtedly extremely dark. Once the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed and fell into the hands of the Chinese Empire, Yucheng would definitely not end well. It was not easy to earn such a big family business. It would be a pity if it died like this. Therefore, according to the analysis of the Empire's * Military Intelligence Bureau, this guy Yucheng is definitely willing, as long as the empire gives him a little benefit and gives him a glimmer of hope for survival, then Yucheng will definitely catch it. When the time comes. The empire will be able to take the city of Beijing without firing a single shot. Of course, Yucheng has collected so much wealth, and most of it will also be required to be collected by the treasury. So much money. It is absolutely impossible to hand it over to him. After all, this money is the people's fat and people's ointment, how can it be squandered by him personally?

"Humph! The old man knows what you mean. However, the old man was the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Qing Dynasty and the Secretary of the Ministry of War. How can you be a rebel and a thief based on a few words of nonsense? I'd like to see. What kind of rhetoric have you prepared to bewitch the old man? Yucheng said with a cold face. In fact, perhaps even he didn't realize that the reason why he agreed to see Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng was entirely because of the desire to survive in his heart.

"Yu-sama, I'm here this time, but I'm here to save you. The Imperial Army now amassed 100,000 troops outside Beijing, twice as many as the defenders inside the city. Moreover. The powerful weaponry of the Imperial Army, adults should also be very aware of this. Plus the contrast in the morale of the troops on both sides. Big. People should also understand that it is absolutely not a problem for the Imperial Army to capture Beijing. Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng said. Although there are only two infantry corps outside the city, the 17th Infantry Corps of the Imperial Army, which has broken through the Shanhai Pass, is rapidly rushing to Beijing. At that time, the three infantry corps together will have 100,000 men. At this point, Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng did not deliberately say big things.

"Beijing is a strong city. If you want to storm Beijing, it will not be so easy. Of your 100,000 people, at least 20,000 or 30,000 will die. Yucheng said stubbornly. As the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Secretary of the Ministry of War, he naturally knew the gap between the Qing army and the imperial army, otherwise, the Manchu Qing would not have lost all the territory in just a few months. Now there is only one way to flee to the Mongolian steppe to survive. And he himself became an outcast of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"Haha, Yuda, Beijing is a strong city, I don't deny that. However, if the Imperial Army stormed Beijing and killed 20,000 or 30,000 people, it would be an exaggeration. If the Imperial Army were to take Beijing by force, the casualties would definitely be under 5,000. Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng said confidently. The walls of Beijing are so strong that even with 105-mm light howitzers, they can't be penetrated.

The city wall of Beijing has a circumference of 24 kilometers, a width of 24 meters, and a height of 8 meters. Such a strong wall was difficult to destroy, even in the era of thermal weapons. Even if you use explosives to blow up, you don't know how much explosives will cost. What's more, such a magnificent city wall is undoubtedly a historical relic, and it would be a pity if it were destroyed like this. Of course, if the persuasion is not successful, then there is no way. Keeping soldiers safe is the most important thing compared to historical artifacts.

"Then why don't you attack right away? And sent you to persuade you to surrender? Yucheng asked rhetorically, his face full of sarcasm.

"Yu-sama, I won't go around in circles with you anymore. The storming of the city of Beijing would cost the Imperial Army several thousand men, which was a very cost-effective battle. If Lord Yucheng can lead an army to join us, it will naturally be better. In this way, Lord Yucheng, you and these tens of thousands of troops will not have to die in the war. It's very good for both of us. Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng said.

"As the imperial court of the Qing Dynasty, I am the United States, and I naturally want to be loyal to the king, so how can I take refuge in you like this? Otherwise, wouldn't the old man's lifelong reputation be ruined? Besides, now you've won. However, my Qing Dynasty has not yet perished, and we still have a chance. Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river. In the future, I may not have the opportunity to make a comeback. Although, after the Manchus fled to the Mongolian steppe, they had to rely on the Russians to survive. However, Russia was so powerful that if Russia could defeat the Chinese Empire, the Manchus might be able to restore the country. In that case, wouldn't he lose money if he took refuge in the Chinese Empire?

"Haha! Yuda, do you still count on the main Manchu forces who evacuated Beijing? I sue you, don't be delusional! You won't have a chance. Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng laughed.

"Why?" Yucheng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"It's very simple, you probably don't know that the Mongol tribes have already taken root in the empire! When you retreat to the Mongolian steppe, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap? Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng said with a smile.

"What? How is this possible? No way, you must be lying. The Mongol tribes are the hardcore allies of my Qing Dynasty, how could they turn their backs on the Qing Dynasty and join you? It's absolutely impossible! Yucheng couldn't believe Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng's words at all.

"Yu-sama, at this time, how can I deceive you? To tell you the truth, those who have taken refuge in the empire are not only the southern Mongolian tribes, but also the northern Mongolian tribes. And it was I who plotted against them. In December last year, I persuaded King Sonampengsug Khan of the Horqin tribe to secretly form an alliance with the help of King Sonamupongsug Khan. As a result of the alliance, the Mongol tribes of Southern Mo pledged allegiance to the empire. As for Mobei Mongolia, it was sent by the empire to do it separately. Except for the Moxi Mongols, the rest of the Mongol tribes have already pledged their allegiance to the empire. In addition, the commander of the newly formed cavalry unit of the empire was none other than the monk Grinqin of the Korqin Division. This time, it was Seng Lingqin who led tens of thousands of cavalry, converging with the 100,000 cavalry of the Mongol tribes in southern Mo, as well as the tens of thousands of troops sent by the empire to intercept the main force you withdrew. 100,000 Imperial regular troops, plus 100,000 Mongol cavalry. Do you also think that you love Xin Jueluo. Will they be able to escape? "Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng will be out of the pan.

Yucheng is now as pale as earth, although his ability is not very good, but after living for so many decades, he still has the ability to see people. He felt that what Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng said was true. Doesn't that mean that the regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu and they just happened to bump into the pocket arranged by the bandits? This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the crumbling Manchu Qing! After this battle, the Manchu Qing will definitely cease to exist.

Although, the regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu and his party had 50,000 iron cavalry and more than 30,000 Cossack cavalry. However, in the face of a regular army of 100,000 rebel bandits, as well as 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, this will definitely not have any chance of winning. The previous series of wars have already proved the strength of the Imperial Chinese Army, even if the Russians blow the earth-shattering sound, won't they be defeated by the Imperial Chinese Army? Obviously, this time the Qing Dynasty is really over, completely finished.

"Lord Yu, I can tell you the truth, those Russians can't count on it. Although Russia is strong, it is not an opponent of the empire in terms of national strength or military strength. The war between the Reich and Russia will inevitably end in the Empire's victory. Even if there was an accident and the empire failed, the Manchus would not have any chance at that time. So, if you still think that it is possible for the Manchus to be restored, it is absolutely impossible. Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng continued.

Yucheng couldn't help but nodded, although he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that what Major Zheng Haisheng said was correct. At this time, he couldn't help but think of his family, if the Chinese Imperial Army really arranged a pocket, wouldn't it mean that the regent Aixin Jueluo. Mianyu is dead. Then, his family will definitely be in danger as well.

"Yu-sama, if you are willing to surrender to the Empire, then I can send a telegram to the front line at once, so that they can keep an eye on your family. If we find them, we will guarantee their safety. Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Haisheng seemed to know what Yucheng was thinking. (To be continued......)
