The first thousand four hundred and seventy-six chapters

Although he wanted to withdraw, Sibao would not dare to retreat without Longkodo's order. The military order was like a mountain. Once he retreated privately, God knew whether Longkodo would attack him.

It is true that Xibao is the prince, but in comparison, Longkodo's identity is not bad. In fact, he is still the emperor's uncle. Besides, although he has defected to Kant, he has always been a member of Yongzheng before. Everyone in the court knows this.

If Longkodo uses this excuse to deal with him, Xibao will have no place to call him. Although the Qing Dynasty has declined, the rules are still there. The more backward the rules are, the greater the rules. Moreover, Kant has just taken office, which is just a good time to establish his authority.

After thinking for a long time, Sibao could only continue to write a letter to Longkodo, which once again told the difficulties of the plateau. At the same time, he begged Longkodo to think about the soldiers and withdraw the troops first.

Anyway, when Sibao saw that it was useless to stay here now, since you can't fight, why not retreat first? If you insist on Cewang Alabutan, it's okay, but your troubles are getting bigger and bigger.

In fact, Sibao was not clear. When he complained about Longkodo, Longkodo was also making great efforts for the climate in Tibet.

The impact of plateau climate will not be divided. This is the case with Sibao. Will Longkodo be so good?

When Sibo asked Longkodo to withdraw his troops before, Longkodo himself had the intention to retreat and reported the situation here in detail to Kant.

Withdrawal is not a trivial matter. Sibao dare not argue without authorization. Longkodo is the same. Without Kant's consent, how many courage does Longkodo have to withdraw his troops privately?

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, Kant's reply finally came. When Longkodo saw Kant's order to withdraw, he breathed a sigh of relief and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

Since the emperor agreed, Longkodo did not want to stay in this ghost place even if he had more than one day. He immediately summoned a meeting of generals and announced the order to retreat. When the order was issued, all the generals were happy. Their ideas were the same as those of Longkodo and Sibao. They stayed in Tibet for more than two months. The Qing army lost thousands of people before and after retreating to the Western Regions.

When the Qing army retreated, Cewang Alabandan soon received news. He originally wanted to take advantage of the Qing army's retreat to follow and pursue the Qing army and give the Qing army a little color. However, when he learned that the Qing army was retreating but not in chaos and had been prepared for a long time, Cewang Alabandan did not act rashly, but sent troops to "welcome and see" the Qing army out of Tibet. When the Qing army retreated, Cewang Alabandan soldiers recovered the lost territory without bloodshed.

It was the spring of the second year when he returned to the Western Regions from Tibet. At this time, Longkodo learned that something big happened in the north. The Ming army actually won the Russian town of Ulan-Ude, the Governor's Office in the Far East, and won a big victory. At present, the Qing court was filled with sorrow, and everyone's face was not good-looking.

Enter the palace to meet.

It is said to be entering the palace, but in fact, this so-called "palace" is just a name. The Qing court is no longer the Qing court in the past. Even Jianxing was not as good as Xi'an when it was Jianxing. At present, the Qing court's palace is just a slightly larger courtyard. In terms of area, it is even worse than a temple in the Forbidden City at that time. As for the facilities inside, it is also ordinary.

After returning as the head coach, Longkodo had to see Kant as soon as possible, and he wanted to enter the palace to meet him. After the notice, a guard soon invited him in. When he entered, he saw that in addition to Kant sitting in the upper position, there were two princes, one was Prince Guo, and the other was Prince Chun.

"I'm going to see the emperor, long live the emperor, and the emperor is lucky and healthy..." Longkodo knelt down at Kant with his horse's sleeves.

"Uncle, don't be like this, get up." Kant said politely, and raised his hand at the same time.

However, Longkodo still knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times seriously. Unfortunately, the loess on the ground in the Western Regions was not the gold bricks in the Forbidden City Hall before. No matter how longkodo broke his head, he could not make a sound.

Getting up from the ground, Longkodo saluted Prince Guo and Prince Chun in turn, and then stood aside with his hands down.

Kant asked about Longkodo's situation on the front line as usual, and praised Longkodo for his troops defeating Cewang Alabutando, and also gave him the flower feathers and yellow jackets to show his grace.

If these flashy things were a great honor in the past, you should know that whether they are peach feathers or yellow jackets, they cannot be obtained casually. The emperor can give you these to you to prove your status and identity in front of the emperor. Not only court officials, but even princes should be jealous when they see them.

But now the phoenix with hair fallen hair is not as good as a chicken in the early morning. Of course, the real value of these things is not as good as before. To be honest, it would be more affordable to directly reward some gold and silver. But Longkodo thought about this and would never say it.

Kant was very satisfied with his gratitude when Longkodo kowtowed again.

"If it is difficult to fight Cewang Alabandan, let it go temporarily. I think he was scared and dared not violate the Western Regions border again."

"What the emperor said is, I listen to the emperor." Longkodo nodded and echoed.

"There is something wrong in the north." As soon as Longkodo finished speaking, Kant continued to speak, and this sentence made Longkodo stunned.

Longkodo had just returned and was a little confused about what was going on in the north. At this time, Prince Guo took over and told Longkodo that the Ming Dynasty had started war with Russia. A few months ago, the Ming Dynasty defeated Russia and took over the Russian important Russian city, Ulan-Ude.

Longkodo doesn’t know where Ulan Ude is, and he has never been to it. It may be called a major city, so Ulan Ude will definitely not be a small base in ruins.

Upon hearing this, Longkodo's face changed slightly. Although the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and Russia is relatively complicated, the cooperation between the two is intermittent, especially after the Ming Dynasty marched into the Western Regions and relied on powerful firepower to open the Northwest Corridor, Russia retreated a little.

Before Yongzheng's death, Russia basically withdrew from the direct war between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. After Yongzheng's death, Kant sent people to contact Russia, intending to continue to cooperate with Russia to restrain the Ming Dynasty in the East. However, Russia did not agree, and instead agreed to sell firearms to the Qing Dynasty privately, and nothing else was left.

This result made Kant very angry, so when he learned that the Ming Dynasty sent troops north to attack Russia last year, Kant was still a little happy. In his opinion, it was not a bad thing for the Qing Dynasty to hit Russia. If Russia suffered a loss at the hands of the Ming Dynasty, then the possibility of his cooperation with Russia would be greatly enhanced.
