Chapter 427 Is this the legendary "turning the tables"?
The Tsarist Russians were certainly not afraid of fighting, but some unnecessary sacrifices could have been avoided, right?
There is an old saying in the Qing Dynasty: As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
In order to prevent Peter the Great from making irrational decisions under impulse, the Russian envoys sent to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty racked their brains.
But being forced to negotiate peace was already a great humiliation.
We have to cede so much land and pay so much money to the Qing Dynasty?
Peter was very resistant.
And I seriously suspect that the other party is exaggerating.
Not only are the cannons well-made, more powerful and with a longer range, but they can also move on their own and even run faster than a carriage?
It can accommodate people inside, and has a large shovel at the back, so it can transport more than a dozen outstanding soldiers at a time.
Ha ha.
"Put yourself in their shoes. If we had such sophisticated weapons, would we still be able to give them a chance to surrender?"
Will not.
I won’t give it at all.
It is better to spend more time and energy and spend more military expenses.
We must also resolve the issue once and for all and make the other party history.
Peter believed it was a scam, but the letters kept coming, each one more earnest than the last.
Since it was related to the life and death of Tsarist Russia, he did not dare to be too negligent.
He had no choice but to go there quietly, intending to quietly dismiss the envoy and expose the Qing court's conspiracy himself.
then……
He saw with his own eyes the magical weapons that he had said were impossible to exist, and without much hesitation he agreed to the terms that he had sworn he would never agree to.
Be a hero who knows the times.
Don't let the entire Tsarist Russia become history because of a momentary anger.
Prince Zhi, who was still eagerly waiting for his Khan's father to agree to upgrade him to the rank of general who destroyed Russia, was furious: "This spineless thing has been bullied to the doorstep, and he still refuses to fight to the death? Tsk, calling them a fighting nation is too unworthy of the name."
The Seventh Prince and Princess Kejing exchanged a glance:...
Can this be blamed on the other side?
It's obvious that their eighteenth brother is too outstanding!
Unexpectedly, he created this peerless weapon that combines both defense and offense without making any noise.
Who wouldn’t be scared if they’ve seen it?
if……
Eh?
Princess Kejing suddenly had an idea and immediately wrote a letter to her Khan Ama, suggesting that during the Mongolian New Year class, local chieftains of all sizes should also be summoned to Beijing.
Arrange a reserved program for them - a military parade.
Let them see clearly the strict military discipline of the Qing Dynasty, the strength of its military, and the invincibility of its firearms.
It is guaranteed to calm their anxious hearts instantly and prevent them from having any extra thoughts.
When the news reached the capital, Yinzhen was shocked: "Oh my, I forgot about this ultimate move. Fortunately, my fourth sister is so powerful."
[Clean up, must clean up!]
[It can enforce strict military discipline and keep the army strong under the inspection of the emperor and the famous people of China. It can also severely deter certain forces of all sizes who are ready to make a move and stop...]
After a long string of compliments, Yinzhen stamped his seal and said: This is much more effective than going to the grassland every year to participate in the Mulan Autumn Hunt.
cough cough.
The Sixteenth Prince coughed tactically, interrupting his brother's rather rebellious conclusion before smiling: "I am not talented, but I think Fourth Sister's suggestion is excellent. With such a strong deterrent, many dangers can be eliminated in the bud."
for example?
Well, for example, the policy of reforming the chieftain system is beneficial to the country and the people, but it is not beneficial to the chieftains of all sizes who rule the country within the country and their followers.
In order to defend their own interests, many chieftains, both big and small, attempted to rebel by relying on the harsh terrain and the remoteness of the emperor.
Some even surrendered and then rebelled, and then surrendered again, like Tsewang Arabtan.
The back and forth battles involved an unknown amount of military force from the imperial court.
If it were now, after seeing the power of the invincible general's chariot, the Sixteenth Prince did not believe that he would dare to challenge the majesty of the court easily again.
He didn't believe it, and neither did Kangxi.
When I asked the other princes, they all said, "I agree with the proposal."
What a decisive person Kangxi was!
The proposal was readily adopted and quickly implemented throughout the country.
Next month, local chieftains of all sizes will be invited to Beijing to participate in the military parade with the emperor.
Yinzhen, who had never managed to carry out such a big thing so smoothly, smiled and said, "Khan Ama is wise. Long live Khan Ama."
The other princes also knelt down one after another and said, "Khan Ama is wise. Long live Khan Ama."
Kangxi said that "Long live the emperor" and other words are all good wishes.
The imperial physician said that he needed to work less and rest more so that he could live safely to be 70 years old.
In order to see the sunshine when he is seventy years old, the emperor, who has become less and less diligent in the past two years, handed over most of the government affairs to the crown prince and Hongxi.
I went to the hot spring palace leisurely to enjoy a wonderful vacation.
Before leaving, he did not forget to be a kind father and extended an invitation to all the princes except the crown prince and his son.
The prince was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "The negotiations with Tsarist Russia have just made some progress, and the war against Japan is in full swing. Seeing that the chieftains and the princes, dukes, and taijis of various Mongolian tribes will come to Beijing to watch the military parade and participate in the annual class."
"Khan Ama, it's already unkind of you to be a hands-off manager at this time, and you want to poach your brothers as well?"
How could Kangxi admit this?
What a diligent emperor he is!
Since the day he took power, he has been conscientious in attending court and governing the country. It has been nearly 50 years, which is longer than many people's lifetime.
Now I have accumulated a lot of diseases.
I was just following the doctor's orders to recuperate for a while, why would I have expected the prince to misunderstand me like this?
Prince:......
Could this be the legendary putting the blame on someone else?
Khan Ama is now very skilled.
His breath was stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
It was Hongxi who stepped forward to rub Khanmafa's shoulders and back. After showing his filial piety, he said that his father and Khanmafa had a deep father-son relationship since childhood and they were reluctant to part.
So in a hurry, I said a few inappropriate words.
Hehehe happily sent the old man to the hot spring palace.
Then, over green plum wine, he talked with his father about the emperors of the past and present: "Just look around! Look through the history books of all dynasties. Which emperor did not guard against his father when he was young, his brothers when he was young, and his sons when he was old in order to monopolize power?"
"The tragedy of human relations is still vivid in our minds. Many emperors who were praised as saints and virtuous by later generations could not escape this curse. Even you and Khanmafa in the original historical line..."
"To be honest, when I first heard Uncle Eighteen's thoughts, I couldn't sleep at night. I tossed and turned, thinking about how to help you reduce the conflict between you and Khan Mafa."
"Avoiding all the things in the original historical line, allowing you to ascend the throne smoothly, and also preventing your son from being envied by his cousin because he is too outstanding, and then become forty-six."
When talking about this, Hongxi looked desolate without any need to pretend.
The prince felt upset when seeing this.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Don't I know this truth? Why do I need a kid like you to mediate?"
