"What's the solution?" Hearing that Dolgon had a way, Duke Peter's eyes lit up at the same time as Catherine and Kutuzov.

"Surrender!" Dorgon said two words firmly.

Surrender......!

Duke Peter's palms continued to retract, and it took several fists to suppress the urge to strangle Dolgon.

Fucking said so much, Lao Tzu wants to surrender or it's your turn to come up with an idea?

"Surrender to be exact!" Seeing the appearance of Duke Peter, Dorgon hurriedly added. This old guy is in a high position, so it's better not to offend.

"If we send envoys to negotiate, the French will inevitably offer very harsh terms of surrender. The envoys were to pretend to be forced to agree to all the terms of surrender of the French. The French don't want money, or something else. They all had to send envoys to Moscow to sign the contract, because only the seal of Her Majesty the Empress was the most authoritative guarantee.

On the way to the envoy's arrival, we offered him as much beauty and wine as possible. Delay for as long as you can. When I arrived in Moscow, I was also entertained for a few days by a good wine and beautiful woman.

When she arrived in front of Her Majesty, she read out the instrument of surrender to the French in public. No one likes harsh surrender conditions, and the government and the opposition will be very indignant when the time comes.

Your Majesty, the Empress, humiliated the French envoys in public and refused to surrender. In this way, you are sure to gain great prestige. The morale of the people will also rise because of you.

If the French wanted to go to war, they had to wait for the envoys to send the news back. By the time Napoleon had organized his army to attack Moscow again, it was estimated that it would be mid-October.

If Napoleon really dares to attack, we will only resist a little and give up sniping along the way. At the same time, cavalry consisting of Cossacks was sent to constantly harass the logistical supply of the French.

When we arrived in Moscow, it should have been the end of November. The weather in Moscow is going to be very cold, and we will only have to sit on the walls and keep the French from getting enough supplies.

Long supply lines, and bitter cold winds, the French's worst enemy. At this time, we only need to kick lightly, and the invincible Napoleon will be finished. ”

The three of Catherine's ministers looked at Dolgon like ghosts, how did this Jurchen from the East have a long brain. Calculate one step at a time, step by step.

According to him, there is a very good chance that things will work out. Napoleon, who was invincible, would die under the tricks of Dorgon.

"Will this overdraw our national credit?" As an old aristocrat, Duke Peter spoke in a very quiet voice. He also knew in his heart that the country's credit was not worth mentioning in the face of victory.

"History is written by the victors, as if there is anyone else talking about the Dzungar Mongols now. I have seen with my own eyes that in just ten years, Dzungar Mongolia has gone from being a khanate with millions of people to the name of a place today.

No one will condemn the Ming people, because they are victors, because they are strong. That's the rule of the world! ”

"France is an ally of the Ming Dynasty, what if the Ming Dynasty sends an airship to help France?" Kutuzov asked suddenly.

"600,000 Frenchmen, their supplies are not in any way able to be supplied by airships. What's more, the airship is actually very affected by the weather. In windy weather, it is extremely dangerous for the airship to be dispatched. From what I know about the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will not provide airship support to the French.

Rather, our airships can take advantage of the good weather to attack the ground forces of the French. ”

"Her Majesty! Dolgon's plan worked. Duke Peter bowed deeply to Catherine.

"I think this plan is feasible too!" Kutuzov seconded.

"Hmmm! It's just that...... The ...... of the envoys to be chosen! Catherine looked at Dolgon in embarrassment, and the most suitable person in her heart was Dolgon.

"Your Majesty! Dolgon was willing to go to Napoleon as a Russian envoy, but ......! France is an ally of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the person wanted by the Generalissimo Li Xiao of the Ming Dynasty.

I felt that once I had gone to the French barracks, I would never have a chance to come back, and that the negotiations would not have succeeded at all, because I might not have had a chance to speak. ”

"Uh......!" Ekaterina was speechless.

Given the French's dependence on the Ming dynasty, they would almost certainly do so.

"Her Majesty! Kutuzov wants to train the army to prepare for battle, so I'll go. "Duke Peter stepped forward, he was a Russian duke and a powerful man, he was indeed the right person.

Dolgon can't, and Catherine can only choose Duke Peter.

"General Kutuzov, we don't have much time, and Dolgon will assist you. All new weapons must be strengthened to the Janissaries, they are our last hope. Get moving! The future of Russia is just a few months away. ”

The resolution of these four people determined the future of the Russian Empire.

After Napoleon won the Battle of the Neman, he quickly regrouped his army and marched north. Preparing to take Moscow in one go, 600,000 troops are outside, the cost is too great.

The sooner we win this battle, the sooner we can withdraw our troops and return home.

The vanguard troops attacked directly under the city of Vilnius, a city built on the basis of an ancient castle. The walls were all made of huge stones, and the city defense was extremely strong.

After the failure of the initial attack, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Corps, Mura, had to order his troops to wait for the arrival of a follow-up artillery unit. Relying only on cavalry troops, it would take this fortified fortress at a heavy price.

Mula was unwilling to pay such a price, and the cavalry was not the branch of the army to do this kind of siege work.

Napoleon led a large group of men and horses, as if he could not get up quickly. He knew how important the physical strength of the soldiers was, and if he ordered the soldiers to march forcibly to the city of Vilnius, the troops would be too tired and their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

There are artillery units pulling back their legs, plus huge baggage. It took Napoleon seventeen days to get to Vilnius. Just arrived in Vilnius, and before they had time to storm the city, someone came to report.

The Grand Duke of Russia, the cousin of the former Tsar, Duke Peter, led the Russian delegation to negotiate with the French Emperor.

Negotiation?

Napoleon liked to negotiate, and the annihilation of 200,000 Russian border guards in this battle has already broken Russia's bones. If you want to restore your combat effectiveness, you don't have to think about it for ten or twenty years.

What remains to be done now is to get at the negotiating table what a dead man needs to get on the battlefield.

"Hello Mr. Duke!" Napoleon warmly invited Duke Peter to sit down.

Although the two sides fought with mountains of corpses and rivers of corpses, the nobles still need to pay attention to etiquette. This is a tacit understanding between the European aristocracy, and being rude and rude in public at such a meeting will definitely be ridiculed by the whole of Europe.

"You, Your Majesty the Emperor." Duke Peter, who exudes a strong atmosphere of old aristocracy, salutes Napoleon.

"It is a pity that a war broke out between our two countries. However, Russia is to blame for this. You participated in every anti-French alliance and sent troops against France.

Moreover, you have not paid the war reparations to France in accordance with the contract you signed. Napoleon watched as his attendant brought Duke Peter a cup of tea, and then slowly explained the reason for this attack on Russia.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my cousin was bewitched by the English and Swedes in the matter of joining the anti-French alliance.

As for the war reparations...... It's really that Russia is remote, and the land output is really not much. That's why it's too late, this time I brought 3,000 Ming silver coins as a gift to His Majesty the Emperor.

I hope that His Majesty the Great Emperor will withdraw his troops as soon as possible, regardless of his past suspicions. The war reparations owed, we, Russia, will raise as soon as possible and then deliver them to you. ”

Duke Peter spoke very humbly, much to Napoleon's satisfaction. But Napoleon traveled thousands of miles to attack Russia with 600,000 men, not for 3,000 silver coins and Duke Peter's groveling.

"Mr. Peter, this kind of specific little details, let the people below talk about it. You've been here for the next few days, with my brother Joseph with you. When the details of the new treaty are negotiated, we will meet again. ”

"A new treaty?" Duke Peter was stunned for a moment, and then bowed his head to Napoleon and withdrew. Napoleon gave Joseph a look, and Joseph followed him in understanding.

Duke Peter looked very lonely, and his steps were heavy. Joseph was very proud, this is the right of the victor, to squeeze the loser as he wants.

Over the next few days, the missions of both sides debated the contents of the new treaty. The conditions put forward by France were very harsh, and the Russian mission would argue on a case-by-case basis.

Negotiations were on the verge of breaking down several times, but each time they ended with the Russians backing down.

There is no way, the weak have very little room for manoeuvre at the negotiating table. This is a truth that everyone understands, and the so-called diplomacy is actually to use the most civilized words and say the most shameless demands.

The negotiations lasted a whole week, and in the end Napoleon became a little impatient. With an army of 600,000, a one-day delay in military spending would be a headache, but now it has been delayed for seven days.

On the ninth day, Napoleon ordered the Russians to either sign the instrument of surrender and recognize the extremely harsh treaties. Or, the French will attack at dawn tomorrow and shell the city of Vilnius.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and the French mission naturally had a temper flare. They rudely told the Russians that they would either surrender or be kicked out tomorrow, and that there would be no chance of negotiations.

Duke Peter cried tears and signed his name with trembling hands on the insulting treaty. After signing the paper, Duke Peter, weeping bitterly, fainted.

Joseph, who presided over the negotiations on the French side, was complacent with the latest treaty to Napoleon.

The most important three articles of the treaty were: first, the Russian Empire was to permanently withdraw from the anti-French coalition and never again participate in any form of hostile activities against France in the future.

Second, the indemnity will be increased by 100 million French francs on the basis of the original indemnity. That's about the sum of ten years of tax revenue in Russia!

Napoleon believed that as long as Russia was saddled with huge debts, it would not be able to develop in the future. 100 million francs, it will hold Russia down for 10, 20, or 50 years.

Third, in the future, the accession of the Russian tsar to the throne needs to be approved by the French emperor. The Emperor of France, who has the right to depose the Russian Tsar and the Crown Prince.

This is strongly insulting, which means that whoever wants to be the Russian tsar in the future must obtain the consent of the French emperor. Napoleon became the de facto emperor of Russia.

As for the remaining minutiae of treaties, they are almost always full of plunder and humiliation. Any Russian will be furious when he sees it.

Duke Peter signed such a treaty, which would have been nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the Russian nation forever.

But Duke Peter still signed it, which is enough to prove that Russia really has no soldiers. According to European rules, after the two sides signed a treaty, it needed to be signed by the emperor and stamped with a seal before it could take effect.

On the French side, it was much simpler, Napoleon signed and sealed it directly. Then, Joseph went to Moscow with the text, and when it was signed and sealed by Empress Catherine, the war was officially over.

For most of the French army, everything seemed to have settled. Everyone is talking about when to go home, and compared to Paris, Russia is a wild place.

Everyone wants to return to France as soon as possible, eating French food and admiring the elegant and slender girls. And not the Russian aunt who looks at the bucket waist all day long, as it is now.

Napoleon also believed that the Russians had surrendered. He began to order the rearguard troops, began to prepare for the evacuation. There were already troops, and a planned retreat began.

The grief-stricken Duke Peter was sick and talked nonsense with a high fever all day long. With such a treaty signed, it is also appropriate to have a high fever.

Joseph waited for Duke Peter for five days in a gentlemanly manner, and finally Napoleon was a little impatient to wait, so Joseph dragged the sick Duke Peter on the road.

Along the way, Joseph was warmly welcomed. The enthusiastic Russian girl opened a new door for Joseph, who has read countless women. It turns out that men and women can still play like this.

Several times, Joseph had planned to go on the road the next day. But after a night of expedition, the next morning, the legs were as soft as noodles. As a last resort, Joseph could only order a one-day postponement.

His subordinates were also warmly entertained by the Russian girls. Naturally, they had a great understanding of Joseph's orders.

So, all the way to stop all the way. It took twenty-two days to walk from Vilnius to Moscow. When they arrived in Moscow, everyone looked weak and overdrunk.

No way, Russian girls are always so enthusiastic, and all of them are so seductive.

Now everyone in the mission understands what it means to be unstoppable!
