After the morning court, Guan Xuqing made an appointment with the Russian Minister to Beijing Nivalev.

Nivalev is probably not in a good mood recently. He has known the Chinese's actions in Mongolia. In his opinion, it is a joke to defend the tens of thousands of miles of border line. However, the continuous failures hit his confidence heavily. But I heard that the young emperor had adjusted the 50,000 troops that had originally defended Mongolia. There were only 10,000 troops and a newly formed cavalry division, 20,000! It seems that the intention of meeting him this time is to show weakness to Russia! The meaning of Nicholas II in China was also unpredictable. However, the British provoked the anti-Russian struggle in Afghanistan again. Russia has already arranged 200,000 troops in the former Kokhan Khanate. It seems that he is going to live in peace with the Chinese for the time being. Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly.

While Nivalev was thinking, Guan Xuqing walked into the Qianqing Palace and sat on the dragon throne. Nivalev quickly bent down and saluted, and then sat down again at Guan Xuqing's instructions.

"Mr. Minister, I'm very happy to see you. I just took a nap and made you wait for a long time. This time I met with Mr. Minister. This time, I asked for some unpleasant things happening in Mongolia recently. I hope there is an explanation." Guan Xuqing went to court at 5 a.m. after the fierce battle last night, and he had almost no rest. He was really tired.

Nivalev looked at Guan Xuqing and said disapprovingly: "His Majesty of our country has also sent a telegram to inquire about this matter recently. I am about to ask your government. Now that the northwest border between the two countries is not determined, why is our exploration team attacked by your army? This requires an explanation, otherwise Russia will reserve the right to pursue the matter."

"Is that true?" Guan Xuqing looked at Nivalev's bluffing look jokingly: "Does the exploration team need thousands of cavalry protection? Do I want the list of prisoners to be taken out and let the minister go back to match the pair?"

Nivalev said with a cold and arrogant look: "Those soldiers just lost their way and entered your country by mistake. However, your team did not warn and launched a sneak attack. It should be that your country was wrong first."

Guan Xuqing looked at Nivalev with a sharp look and said, "If this is the case, there is no need to continue talking. Some of my people were killed by robbers while she was grazing. It seems that their blood debt should be calculated carefully. There are more than 20,000 robbers captured alive, so I ordered two hundred people to be killed every day for 100 days to pay tribute to their dead souls."

When the translator next to him translated Guan Xuqing's words to Nivalev, Vasilev's face became very ugly. He did not expect that the young emperor was so barbaric. He wanted to kill people without saying a few words, and his arrogance suddenly decreased by half. His Cossack cavalry went south to plunder supplies and could not help but kill a few Chinese people. If the little emperor refused to admit that it was our Russian cavalry, he would just think that ordinary bandits killed people and robbed people in China. It would be understandable that he would kill people and pay for his life according to Chinese laws. If his more than 20,000 Cossack cavalry were killed by this little emperor, he probably wouldn't have to go back to Russia.

Guan Xuqing saw the Russian minister's face blue and white, and suddenly smiled and said, "In fact, we don't have to be so tense. I'm actually having an appointment with the minister this time. In fact, the main purpose of my mission is to turn wars with you into jade and even become allies."

Nivalev was stunned when he heard Guan Xuqing's words. The change was too big. He couldn't help but frown and said, "I'm sorry, I can't think of why you did this?"

Guan Xuqing smiled slightly, stood up and walked towards Nivalev. He said slowly: "There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies between countries, only

Chaos is reborn and ruled by the other world http://www.77nt/23488/Eternal interests. You understand who your country’s biggest enemy is now. And whoever possesses the most benefits in the Qing Dynasty must also know. Now the British are spying on Myanmar, the vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, so our two countries have a common enemy, and the enemy of the enemy is their own allies. In this way, can the Minister understand why I did this?"

At this time, Nivalev obviously hadn't digested what he said to Guan Xuqing. Do China have such strength to deal with the British? Nivalev was very suspicious of this. For hundreds of years, only the country in the New World has done it. Others such as the Spanish, Dutch, French and even Russia were defeated by the Yanggelu Saxons, but this is indeed good news for Russia.

When Nivalev sent the news that China hoped to form an alliance back to the country, Russian Emperor Alexander III felt extremely excited when he heard it. He had only been rewarding for his ambitions for only three years. He hoped to expand the influence of the Tsarist Russian Empire in the world like his father Alexander II. Russia was located in the far north and had to expand its power to the south. However, Russia's steps to move south were stopped by the British. There was an British-Turkey alliance in Turkey, occupied the south in Iran and Britain, and the British provoked an anti-Russian struggle in Afghanistan. Britain built a thick wall in the south of Russia. Sadly, Alexander III could not find an ally that could unite against Britain.

Germany has extremely strong military strength, but because of this, Alexander III even had to guard against their ambitions for Russia; France has to rely on Britain to help them deal with Germany, and they also have important interests in the Mediterranean and will not let Russia pass through the Turkish Strait; the United States has conflicts with Britain, but they are popular in glorious isolation and development of their own industries behind closed doors; Italy has a horrible murder... They will not help Russia deal with Britain.

At this time, China appeared in front of Alexander III. China has millions of troops and the sixth-ranked navy in the world (after the two cruisers built by Britain returned to China at the beginning of the year, the total tonnage had exceeded that of the United States, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Germany, and Italy.) Although Alexander III also did not think that such strength could defeat the British, the conditions proposed by the Chinese were too touching.

Guan Xuqing proposed that while the Qing army sent troops to Myanmar to deal with the British, Russia must declare war on Britain at the same time and launch an attack on the British in the British territory Turkey, Afghanistan and other places. All Russian expenses were borne by the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty promised to return 20,000 cavalry for free and was willing to rent Jiaozhou Bay to Russia to park warships.

Alexander III soon found the crescent-shaped harbor on the map. The price was only to act in Afghanistan and Turkey, and then to make a few unpainful statements. Russia would have the first military port in the Far East. Compared to such temptations, no matter how strict the conditions were, he would agree.

Moreover, Alexander III had a mind that once all Chinese troops fell into war with the British in the south, his northern border would be opened to him, and then a few pieces of land would be cut off as a reward for helping them. I believe the Chinese would have nothing to say.

Guan Xuqing also had his own small calculations. When the British attacked Myanmar, the logistics supply must be in Turkey or Afghanistan. It was closest to Myanmar, and the supply line of the Qing Dynasty seemed a bit long. Although military rations could be replenished from Vietnam, guns, cannons and ammunition had to be transported from Hubei, and the rations, shoes, socks, medicines, tents used by the army all needed to be transported from the southeast coast across the entire Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, it is best for the Russians to attack the British logistics base. Moreover, when the backyard catches fire, the United Kingdom will give up attacking Myanmar and turn around to attack the Russians. When Britain and Russia are entangled in Turkey and Afghanistan, they can just send a large army to the north from Heilongjiang, Mongolia and Xinjiang to reclaim the land that was forcibly occupied by Russia.

As for Britain, after declaring war with Russia, it is determined that it will not make enemies on all sides, and I believe it will not fight against the Qing Dynasty at the same time. The Jiaozhou Bay leased to Russia is just a sweet thing for the Russians. After the two countries fought, they only asked God to bless the Russians not to be so stupid that they really parked their warships in the Qing army port, otherwise they would not be able to escape the fate of being captured.

Just as the heads of the two countries had their own ulterior motives, they signed an alliance contract that was thinner than the hymen!

Just when the contract was signed, something happened in Myanmar...

"Your Majesty, look!" Zuo Zongtang rushed into the Palace of Yangxin.

Guan Xuqing took the telegram that Zuo Zongtang took out from his sleeve and saw half of his brows frowning. "The British demanded to supervise Myanmar's foreign affairs activities?"

Zuo Zongtang nodded and said, "This is just the British who are testing whether the Qing Dynasty will say something. If we don't say a word, it's hard to guarantee that they will not blackmail the rights and then swallow Myanmar for themselves. Now Britain is so arrogant that it is going to swallow the whole world!"

Guan Xuqing didn't expect the British to move so quickly, and said slowly: "I have sent Nie Shicheng, Liu Mingchuan and Liu Yongfu into Vietnam. Now the newly recruited 400,000 troops are still in training, and the weapons and equipment are not in place, so it is useless. You go to plan an order to transfer the Wu Ping army in Heilongjiang and Pan Dongmin army in Gansu to quickly enter Vietnam, so that the Hubei Guns and Cannon Bureau will transport all the ammunition and arms that have been shipped to Vietnam."

"Emperor, Mongolia has opened its doors. If Heilongjiang is removed from defense, will the Russians take the south?" Zuo Zongtang asked in horror.

Guan Xuqing thought for a moment and said decisively: "Lu Yiwei's troops dropped the three-tiered team to defend Shandong, but Dong Liang's troops turned out to go north to Heilongjiang."

"But, the emperor. If the Tsarist Russian soldiers attack, from Mongolia to the capital, there is no danger to defend, and there is only a few hundred miles!! Their cavalry can arrive within one day, and there are no soldiers to adjust near the capital. Please think twice." Zuo Zongtang knelt down and knocked on the ground.
