After the Dingbei Army swept away the Russian army's forces in the area east of Lake Baikal, Lin Daxin ordered several damaged divisions, that is, six divisions guarding the mountain fortifications outside Darhan and suffering heavy losses by the Russian army's poisonous tactics, to withdraw to the territory of the four northeastern provinces for rest.

However, it was these 6 divisions that withdrew to the northeast, east of Lake Baikal, and even in the territory of Outer Mongolia, the Dingbei Army still had hundreds of thousands of troops, and Lin Daxin was a little hesitant whether to continue to attack Russia, and now the occupied Russian territory has reached Lin Daxin's own heart, and more than 5 million square kilometers of land have to be digested by his four northeastern provinces for a long time.

But now Russia has been weakened by itself, and Lin Daxin finally got the news of the rebellion in Russia Europe from the Military Intelligence Bureau, and now is the time to take advantage of the fire and rob Russia, Lin Daxin spread out the map, looked at the territory of the Russians, and considered whether to pocket the remaining more than 10 million square kilometers of land east of the Ural Mountains, so that Russia can completely become a European country, but in that case, Lin Daxin's territory borders Russia and Europe. If you can't get it, the Russians will smash the pot and sell iron, and they will have to fight with themselves.

When Lin Daxin was still hesitating, he suddenly received a telegram from his cousin Wang Yan in Shenyang City, and immediately raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth showed a slight arc, and then threw the map to the side, making up his mind that this war with the Russians only needs to hold these territories.

Moreover, he is not only an enemy of Russia now, Japan, Britain, France, Italy, and a large number of other countries that hate him, and he can end the war with the Russians as soon as possible. There is no harm to yourself.

A telegram from the city of Shenyang said that the Russian envoy to the Qing Dynasty, Melkoshakin. Together with the British minister to the Qing Dynasty, Ogner and the French minister to the Qing Dynasty, Bi Sheng, they arrived at the city of Shenyang. I want to start negotiations with Lin Daxin to stop this war that has been going on for almost 10 months because of the murder of the previous Russian minister to the Qing Dynasty.

It seems that the Russians really can't hold on, Lin Daxin happily ordered all divisions to strictly defend the area east of Outer Mongolia and Lake Baikal, and no longer continue to attack the Russian army, but the war preparations still have to be done, and the ammunition supply from the four northeastern provinces to the front line has not stopped, although the Russians have sent people to Shenyang City to negotiate. But if you can't get along, you still have to fight, and the bottom line in Lin Daxin's heart is to occupy Russian land, and he will not return it to the Russians at all.

After arranging the tasks of the divisions, on June 10, Lin Daxin rushed back to Shenyang City on the Helios supership, preparing to negotiate with the representatives sent by the Russians.

Melkoshakin, the Russian minister to the Qing Dynasty, who had been waiting in the Shenyang hotel for four days, heard the adjutant sent by the governor's palace say. Lin Daxin has returned to Shenyang City, and tomorrow morning he will discuss with Melkoshakin how to end this war, which makes Melkoshakin breathe a sigh of relief.

The current situation is very unfavorable for Russia, and the only thing that can pose a threat to the Dingbei Army is the 530,000 troops in Irkutsk. But the morale of the 530,000 troops has fallen to the lowest point because of the continuous defeats of the Russian army on the battlefield, if the Dingbei Army concentrates its forces to attack the city of Irkutsk. Even the commander of the Siberian theater of operations, Kuropatkin, did not dare to guarantee that Irkutsk, which was guarded by 530,000 Russian troops, would be impregnable.

And to the west of the city of Irkutsk, all the way to the Ural Mountains, the dividing line between Asia and Europe in Russia. The Russian army no longer has enough troops to block the footsteps of the Dingbei Army, and the Dingbei Army will fight all the way to the Ural Mountains without any hindrance. and even attacked the European regions of Russia.

In addition, there are many rebellions in Russia's European region, and the troops are already stretched thin, and the Russian high-level people are also preparing to transfer troops from the city of Irkutsk and rush back to the Russian European region to quell the rebellion.

In such a bad situation, everyone knew in their hearts that this war had made it impossible for Russia to continue, and Tsar Nicholas II gave Melkoshakin an order that he must sign an armistice with Lin Daxin as much as possible, and for this reason he could give up some Russian interests.

Melkoshkin replied with a telegram asking Tsar Nicholas II what the bottom line was, but Tsar Nicholas II replied with a telegram, the indemnity was not a penny, and the land could be given some, but Tsar Nicholas II wanted to control the area within 500,000 square kilometers, but in the end, Tsar Nicholas II did not say that he was dead, but just asked Merkoshkin to let Russia lose some land as little as possible, after all, the situation in Russia is there, and the victory that cannot be obtained on the battlefield wants to be obtained at the negotiating table, It's not so easy, Lin Daxin is not one of the powerful people in the Manchu court.

Melkoshakin was hung in the Shenyang Hotel for a few days, and he was very worried that Lin Daxin would not even talk to him, and would directly wave his troops to continue the attack on the city of Irkutsk, which would be a nightmare for Russia, even if Russia survived, it would also be greatly damaged.

But now that Lin Daxin is willing to talk to him, he finally doesn't have to worry about the Dingbei Army launching an attack on Irkutsk immediately.

However, what made Melkoshajin angry was that the next day, that is, June 11th, Lin Daxin did not see Melkoshakin, Lin Daxin missed the appointment, but Melkoshajin did not have any way, Lin Daxin was happy with his daughter, how could he pay attention to Melkoshakin.

It turned out that it was unfortunate that on the night that Lin Daxin just returned to Shenyang City, Ding Xueshan gave birth to a daughter to Lin Daxin, which made Lin Daxin pleasantly surprised, of course, he didn't bother to discuss with Melkoshakin how to end the war.

Melkoshakin waited patiently for 2 days, but heard that Lin Daxin's other wife Du Juan gave birth to another son to Lin Daxin, and suddenly Melkoshakin couldn't hold his breath, he knew that Lin Daxin had 4 wives, and the other 2 ladies were also pregnant, and the expected date of 1 lady was also the most recent time, don't wait 2 days, that lady gave birth to Lin Daxin again, then how long do you have to make Melkoshakin wait!

Now that the situation in Russia and Europe is getting worse and worse, Tsar Nicholas II knows that Melkoshakin has arrived in Shenyang City, and Lin Daxin has also returned to Shenyang City, and has sent several telegrams to Melkoshakin to the telegraph office in Shenyang City, urging Melkoshakin to hurry up and negotiate with Lin Daxin to stop the war.

Originally, Tsar Nicholas II also knew that the telegram he sent to the Shenyang City Telegraph Office would definitely be known by Lin Daxin's subordinates, after all, it was Lin Daxin's territory, but Nicholas II had to send a telegram urging Melkoshakin, because the strength of the rebels in Russia in Europe not only did not weaken during this time, but also became a lot stronger.

The troops of Tsar Nicholas II's 1st Army have just been defeated by the rebels near Moscow, and now the rebels have surrounded Moscow, and the battlefield forms in several other places are also very unfavorable to Tsar Nicholas II, and even the rebels have organized a force of nearly 100,000 people to attack St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia.

Tsar Nicholas II now urgently needs more than 500,000 troops in Irkutsk to withdraw to Russia Europe to quell the rebellion, so before starting formal negotiations with Lin Daxin, Nicholas II has ordered the commander of the Siberian theater of operations, Kuropatkin, to send 60,000 Russian troops back to Russia by train to Europe.

The railway, which was blown up by the airship unit of the Northeast Air Force, has been repaired and opened to traffic by the Russians, but now instead of transporting troops to the Siberian theater, it has become a transfer of troops from the Siberian theater.

But this little bit of troops is also scared, what if the Dingbei Army launches an attack on the city of Irkutsk?

If the negotiation with Lin Daxin is successful and this damn war is stopped, the Russian army in Irkutsk will withdraw to Russia in Europe one after another to counterinsurgency, and now the armed threat of rebellion is much greater than Lin Daxin.

Melkoshakin found the British minister to the Qing Dynasty, Ogner, and the French minister to the Qing Dynasty, Bi Sheng, who were also living in the Shenyang Hotel, who had come to mediate the war at the invitation of the Russians.

Melkoshakin anxiously said to the two ministers: "Minister Ogna, Minister Bi Sheng, I hope you can go to Lin Daxin's governor's palace with me, every day I delay here, the situation in our Russia and Europe will become worse, I really can't wait, I must immediately start negotiations with Lin Daxin!" ”

Ogna and Bi Sheng looked at each other, their brows furrowed, and Ogener said: "Minister Melkoshakin, if you are so anxious, it will be very detrimental to the negotiation!" ”

Bi Sheng also nodded and said: "That's true, Minister Melkoshakin, if you are so anxious, at the negotiation table, you Russia will lose even more!" ”

Melkoshakin smiled bitterly, he didn't understand this truth, but the current situation no longer allowed him to wait, "Minister Ogner, Minister Bi Sheng, there is no way, the situation in our Russian Europe is getting worse and worse, we must do our best to end this war with Lin Daxin, and transfer the troops of the Siberian theater back to Europe to quell the rebellion, please two!" ”

Ogener and Bi Sheng looked at each other again, and shook their heads helplessly, if they were so anxious to negotiate with Lin Daxin, that greedy Lin Daxin would definitely bite the Russians hard.

However, Ogner and Bi Sheng also understood Melkoshakin's anxious feelings, after all, the situation in Russia was there, and if the rebel forces were allowed to grow like this, Tsarist Russia might not exist, so the two ministers nodded and agreed to Melkoshakin's invitation.
