Chapter 355—Western Siberia (2)
The general of Dingyuan, Ji Du, saw the two envoys of the Rakshasa Kingdom kneeling in front of him in a panic, and finally let go of his angry posture. He got up from behind the military case, held the harness of his saber in one hand, and paced slowly to the two of them. Although their faces were good, Ablin and Yarezhkin shivered vigorously as they looked at the Yanling knife in front of them......
"Don't worry, I will not only spare your lives, but also your glory and wealth! If the first-class prince of the Rakshasa Kingdom can give you a point, you don't need to open your mouth with the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, even if I am the general of Dingyuan, I can give you ten points! If the emperor loves it, it will be more than a hundred times a thousand times! Hahaha! As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Ablin by the shoulders and lifted him off the ground with great ease.
"The Great General......
Ablin made a manpower lift, how could he endure the fright just now, at this moment his legs and feet have long been disobedient, and he said the honorific name of the superior in his mouth, but the lower plate is swaying and has no image at all.
Jidu smiled "hehe" and waved his hand, and a personal soldier had already come over on the side, and moved over two square stools, so that Ablin and Yarezhkin could sit down separately.
"The two, to tell the truth, the surroundings of this Suwu Lake have been wiped out by tens of thousands of elite soldiers under my command in one fell swoop. There are some stubborn intruders, and I am naturally merciless and exterminate. The two of them must have been able to guess this. Jidu asked, standing one step in front of the two of them.
"Yes, yes, we can guess. You are invincible! Ablin hurriedly agreed, and Yaryzhkin nodded vigorously beside him.
"Hmm. It's good to know the way. Ji Du was very satisfied with this answer, but turned away and said in an almost inaudible voice: "But do you know what will happen next for me, tens of thousands of elite soldiers?" ”
"This ......" Ablin was a bit more sophisticated after all, and he just quickly activated the overclocking mode of his brain, but he didn't rush to answer.
"General, do you need to talk about it?" Yaryzhkin got his wish and waited for the opportunity for Ablin to "get stuck", and hurriedly replied, "It must be all the way to the west, over the Ural Mountains." Conquer the European continent! You are the one who followed the Mongols. Horse Tessy, the second person who is invincible! ”
"The second person? Do you want me to learn from the Mongols? Jidu didn't turn around, but listening to his tone, he knew that he was very disdainful of this answer.
"Oh! General, I'm wrong, you don't have to learn from those Mongols. You'll be the first Qing to conquer Tessie! Yaryzhkin hurriedly corrected.
In fact. This answer is not entirely groundless in his mind. As Cossacks. The law of survival of the jungle on the prairie has long been ingrained in his mind. If Jidu's forces were strong enough, then in Yarezhkin's mind, he should have the desire and urge to conquer the world.
"Ha Lu Ha. Yarezhkin, you only know what you conquer and kill. But have you ever thought about it, the Mongols went west for many years, and how many people returned? A hundred years later, isn't it still in ashes? The Great Empire of Nuo fell apart...... Therefore, the iron horse alone cannot conquer the world. ”
Although he is young, he is good at thinking. This kind of simple thinking of not blindly advocating force is also rare among the current Manchurian nobles.
"Oh, I see, General, you are going to seek peace with mercy!" Yaryzhkin didn't believe it, but the tone of his voice was very much in line with his own language.
"Wrong!"
Suddenly, Jidu said loudly and turned around all of a sudden! Frightened, Yaryzhkin almost fell over from the square bench.
"Kindness? Mercy must not be applied to you! Benevolent? Since I entered the customs, I have been too merciful to those bandits of you Rakshasas, and I always hope that you will stop in moderation and repent of yourself. But the result? Between the white mountains and black waters of my Longxing land outside the gate, the Rakshasa bandits are unscrupulous, burning my village and killing our people, it is simply unbearable. ”
Jidu was not roaring, but the words at this moment made the hearts of the two rakshasas tremble more than the roar.
"Mercy cannot be applied to robbers or bandits! Therefore, the emperor ordered me to lead the army north, just to tell you - blood debts must be repaid with blood! ”
"General...... "The two of them can no longer talk about being the so-called Rakshasa envoys, and in this situation, they have to take the initiative to kneel.
"To tell you the truth, as soon as my army arrives, the bandits of the Rakshasa country outside the pass can only be the end of the world, and it is only a matter of time before they are encircled and annihilated! But my majesty the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has the virtue of a good life, and I really don't want anyone to splash blood on the battlefield, so I just surround them but don't fight, and I still hope that they can wake up. Jidu sighed.
"Yes! Yes, yes! The two nodded frequently.
"But Rakshasa is cunning and has a bad character, so how can he give up so easily?"
"Yes! Yes, yes! The two former Rakshasa envoys nodded even harder.
"So, my army of tens of thousands drove straight into the shore of Suwu Lake. It is also natural to say that this land of China, even if you Rakshasa occupy a few cities, it is still ours. As soon as the army arrives, it will be easy to take your castles! ”
"Yes! Yes, yes! ”
In this way, the bandits outside the gate will become turtles in the urn. As long as I go all the way to the west, all the way to the north......" Jidu said this, no longer from above, but bent down slightly, speaking slowly and leisurely, while observing the reactions of the two Rakshasa envoys up close.
"Yes! Yes, yes! This time, though, only Yarezhkin habitually nodded. Ablin frowned.
"Why, Ablin, do you think there's something wrong?" Jidu is naturally waiting for someone to say, "It's not appropriate here."
"General, how dare I say something inappropriate? In this westward expansion, it is natural for the two countries to clash and show their edges. But I don't understand, why are you going north? Ablin was very attentive to his answer, because whether he could avoid being deported back to China depended on his own plans.
"Why can't you go north?" Jidu old fritters, how can they be told by themselves first?
"Because to the north, there are only vast ice fields and endless seas of ice."
"So what?" Jidu didn't care.
"General, the use of force in such a place is a thankless task. As soon as the army of tens of thousands moved, it was difficult to provide for it, and it was a drop in the bucket to replenish it on the spot...... "Ablin showed his true colors as a businessman in due course, and gave Jidu to popularize the so-called "cost theory".
"Oh? So, that kind of place didn't the Rakshasas ever go to? "Jidu is actually most concerned about this issue.
"Not really. As far as I know, the Rakshasa Kingdom has a stronghold in the far north, and although the scale is not large, it has long been encamped. ”
"Humph! Ablin, don't forget, at the beginning of the founding of the Jurchen state, I also fought the world in the ice and snow. In the far north, the Rakshasa people can gain a foothold, and the Han people can be involved in the Han and Tang dynasties, why can't I be in Manchuria? Jidu also thought that Ablin had underestimated himself and his Eight Banners.
"The general is angry, I didn't mean that. If the general insists on being strong, it is expected that the Far Eastern trading posts north of Lake Baikal will be all in his pocket. It's just a little ......," Ablin hurriedly explained.
"Just what?" Jidu asked.
"It's just that the gains outweigh the losses. General, you think, those transit stations are small in scale and small in population, and they are all set up in Moscow in sections in order to obtain fur goods from the Far East, just for the transit of people. As soon as the army arrived, they were naturally invincible and surrendered. But tens of thousands of horses and horses come and go to the vast ice field, and their own losses will be not small, but they only get a few small walled cities that are not of great use. ”
"You mean the gains outweigh the losses?"
"Exactly."
"You mean let me give up? Don't! ”
"The general misunderstood, I mean ......" Ablin consciously looked at Yaryzhkin beside him at this time, and said no more.
"Ablin, just tell the truth. Yarezhkin! Jidu comprehended, and suddenly shouted at Yarezhjin.
"Ahh The little ones are in! Yarezhkin was drunk by this, for fear that something would come to him, so he was so busy flattering that he even claimed to be much shorter.

"A limerick poem? Hidden Head
Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath
I was saying that there was an opportunity back then
The layout is a long-cherished wish
It's hard to come and go
Get up and spend a hundred years
Point out the suffering and diseases of the world
The edge of the town was razed to the sea
