Chapter 48 The powers are frightened, and they seek peace talks again

Sun Chuanting was quite reliable in doing things. The emperor said that he would play steadily, so he would play steadily. He was not eager to achieve success at all. The defensive arrangements around the railway were not leaked. He even ordered people to build a bastion every fifty miles forward.

In this way, the Ming army's advancement speed was naturally extremely slow, but its pace was also extremely solid. With a bastion as a support, we would not be afraid of the enemy cutting off the railway line. If the enemy did not react at all, he would really be able to build the railway all the way to the imperial capital of Tsarist Russia!

The Tsarist Russia did not want to react, but it was really unable to react, because they now had only 200,000 troops in total, and they might not have been able to do more than 100,000 Qin troops, not to mention that the Ming army had more than 100,000 at all.

If the Ming army advances in the direction of their bastion, they will resist no matter how hard they do. The Ming army is not stupid and has never repaired to their bastion. Anyway, the terrain is similar and they do not pursue speed. Which direction is not repaired?

Rozov had no choice but to rely on Richelieu.

Speaking of which, after Richelieu received this news, he couldn't spit out a mouthful of blood. The Ming Empire is really poisonous. If you play with the navy, he will play with the army. The southern border of France was ruined by the Ming Empire, and Tsarist Russia came again.

He had to worry about this matter. If the Ming Empire Army broke through Tsarist Russia and drove straight into the continent from the west, the anti-Habsburg alliance would be over. The Ming Empire army was not ordinary terrifying.

Now France cannot send troops to support him, so he can only write a letter to explain the situation to other allies and explain the interests and hope that they can send troops to assist Tsarist Russia in blocking the Ming army's attack, otherwise, everyone will be done together!

He also urged all countries to send negotiators to gather Tsarist Russia and request the Ming Empire to negotiate again to see if it could persuade the Ming Empire to withdraw.

Fortunately, the Ming army seemed to have insufficient manpower to build railways, and the advancement speed was very slow. It only took more than 200 miles in more than a month. If they were to advance wildly as they did in Siberia, they would probably have rushed to the Tsarist Russian imperial capital.

Of course, Sun Chuanting would not advance wildly. At this moment, he had only 200,000 men under his command. He rushed up and was finished by the anti-Habsburg coalition forces. If he had an army of 1.5 million like before, he would have rushed up long ago.

At this moment, he still followed the emperor's will and was not in a hurry at all.

Anyway, it is just to attract enemy troops. If you want to attack, 200,000 people are indeed not enough. If you defend, 200,000 people are more than enough. The bastions built along the railway are not fake. If you really can't defeat them, you can't retreat to Wushan City. He is not afraid of even gathering a million troops!

The great powers naturally did not want to fight with the Ming Empire Army. Now France, the strongest army, has been dragged to the southeast of France by the Ming Empire and the Spanish coalition forces. The total number of troops of other countries is only 500,000 or 600,000. Without having to, they do not want to fight with the Ming Empire Army.

Sun Chuanting did not refuse the request for peace talks from the great powers, but this time there was no need to invite Zheng Zhilong, the King of Zhennan. The emperor had already explained it in a secret letter, so he would preside over the peace talks.

This time, Spike, the chief negotiator of the Anti-Habsburg League, seemed very awesome, but he really didn't want to take the lead.

After so many negotiations with the Ming Empire, he has never gained any benefits. Every time he has compensation, compensation, compensation, and compensation. It would be strange if he signed so many unequal treaties.

However, he had to take this lead. None of the other negotiators had rich experience, whether it was negotiating with the Ming Empire or paying compensation!

Before the negotiations began, he received good news. According to Tsarist Russia's investigation, the Ming Empire did not have many troops, and it seemed that it was only about 200,000, which was not invincible.

The Ming Empire chose the negotiation location of Wushan City. Spike had to take the negotiating delegation to rush over from the Russian imperial capital again. There was no way, and he always asked others not to fight, so naturally it was impossible for him to come to his side.

Sun Chuanting did not set up any tricks to scare people. This time the emperor's purpose was to waste money with them, not to extort their money. Besides, the great powers were not fools, and it was impossible to extort their money with 200,000 to 300,000 people.

So, he is very bachelor, and he looks like what he looks like, without any falsehood at all.

The negotiating delegation led by Spike was not frightened this time, because what they saw seemed to be the same as the investigation results of Tsarist Russia.

They saw the railway, but it was no secret that the Ming army was building the railway. If the Ming army did not build the railway, they would not be able to come to negotiate.

They also saw the brink, and everyone just frowned slightly. This thing does not have the ability to attack, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

They saw Wushan City last time, and when they looked at it again, they didn’t feel as shocking as last time.

The Ming army and the others also saw that they were indeed as Tsarist Russia said, with only about 200,000 yuan, and they could not scare them either.

After entering the conference room, the map on the wall did not change, but the Ming generals on the opposite side were less than half. There was only one marshal and four generals, and at most only 500,000 people, which was not enough to scare them.

Sun Chuanting was not as colorful as Zheng Zhilong. When he saw the negotiation delegation of the great powers coming in, he just took the lead in standing up and said, "Please sit down", and then sat back with a bang.

Spike couldn't figure out what the Ming Empire was thinking this time, or how much money he wanted to extort, so after sitting down, he didn't speak at all, just sat there calmly, waiting for the other party to speak first.

Being patient is also a means of negotiation, but Sun Chuanting was too lazy to compare patience with these people. Seeing that the other party didn't speak for a long time, he asked directly: "Everyone, I don't know what's the point of doing here this time?"

He said it directly in Chinese, and he didn't bring any translation this time. Chinese has now become a common language all over the world. If the other party's translation is not understood, it would be a strange thing.

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, the other party's translator began to whisper to explain to the negotiators of various countries.

When Spike heard this, he frowned. Do you ask me unintentionally? If you don’t attack Tsarist Russia, how could we come here?

He thought about it and then said seriously: "On behalf of the anti-Habsburg Alliance, I strongly condemn your Ming Empire's invasion of our allies, Tsarist Russia, and please abide by the contract and withdraw immediately."

After hearing the explanation from the opposite translator, Sun Chuanting immediately said hard: "His Excellency Spike, our Ming Empire has always abide by the contract. It is because you first violate the contract and launch an attack on our allies, Spain and Portugal, that we have to fight back!"
