This is naturally an excuse for His Majesty the Tsar, and everyone knows the actual meaning.
Mikhail I spurted out a mouthful of old blood, so he had to lead his people to retreat first with hatred.
How could Zhang Zongling be willing to just repel the Rakshasa people?
He led the Ming army and followed the Rakshasa people, harassing and killing them all the way to Balasho, more than 400 miles west of Saratov.
Husband, I stopped temporarily to take a rest.
Soon, Wei Junru from behind also arrived here.
Zhou Yuji asked him to temporarily join forces with Zhang Zongling, and go all the way west to attack Michurinsk, more than 300 miles away, threatening the capital of the Rakshasa people, while Zhukov They had to withdraw their troops and establish a defense line against the Ming army in the city of Ogiore, south of Moscow.
Michurinsk is only 600 miles away from Moscow.
Zhang Zongling followed Zhou Yuji's order and stopped moving westward.
He began to build a fortress here and recruited serfs from all over the country.
Cao Wenzhao's troops also moved westward and reached Gorochowicz, where they also built a fortress.
The serfs of Rakshasa lived a very hard life, so when the Ming Dynasty promised that everyone would become free citizens and the taxes were extremely low, a large number of serfs changed their surnames to Chinese, were assigned land, and began to live here.
The Ming army was far more powerful than the Rakshasa people, not to mention the Cossack cavalry fighting for freedom.
In fact, there was no need to build forts at all.
Therefore, the fortress is actually intended to become a market in the city to a large extent and drive the local economy.
Some daily necessities such as soap, candles, and matches shipped from the Ming Dynasty were sold here to local residents on credit, and the money was paid back after the grain was harvested.
As for luxury goods such as mirrors and cigarettes, they were sold to all parts of Europe through the Kingdom of Poland.
The construction of the railway from Yuji City to Kazan City has also begun.
The Ming Dynasty is now peaceful in all directions and only needs to focus on this one place.
Domestic materials are pouring into this place in large quantities, and the imperial court also sent civil servants to establish Kazan Prefecture here.
The population of the area was registered, the land was distributed, and the taxation agencies slowly began to build.
The completion of the railway has made the time from Beijing to Yuji City shorter than the time from Beijing to Guizhou.
More importantly, the transportation capacity has been far exceeded.
A large amount of precious wood was transported back to the Ming Dynasty, and near the railway line, the research institute discovered several gold mines.
However, the news has not been released yet, and it is only known within the imperial court.
The Rakshasa Kingdom was naturally unwilling to fail, especially since a large amount of land was occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and the domestic environment further deteriorated.
After the death of the Patriarch and his father, Mikhail I had already been deprived of a lot of power by the nobles, and his voice in the country was very light.
This time the war with the Ming army was defeated again, making his position further unstable.
When Mikhail I couldn't defeat him again and again, he began to look for other ways to solve the problem.
He asked the Poles to act as intermediaries and requested negotiations with Ming Dynasty.
After the news reached the capital, Zhu Youxiao had a long night's talk with Lu Xiangsheng, and then appointed him as Minister of War and Imperial Envoy, with full responsibility for negotiations with Rakshasa.
Lu Xiangsheng inspected people's livelihood along the railway during the day and rushed on the train at night.
After more than a month of stop and go, he finally arrived in Yuji City.
After taking a short rest, he took Dai Chunfeng from Yuji City to Kazan City, and then arrived at the front line.
He visited Zhang Zongling and Cao Wenzhao's troops.
Everywhere he went, he would talk to the local generals.
Fully communicate, understand the specific local situation, inquire about the morale of the soldiers, and find out the thoughts of the Rakshasa serfs.
Only after the situation here is clear, can someone send a message to the Rakshasa people.
The two sides are scheduled to meet in Mi in five days.
Chulinsk for negotiations.
The negotiator of the Rakshasa people was the Marquis Ragus, a close confidant of the Tsar.
He had received the Tsar's instructions before coming.
As long as the place occupied by the Ming army could be returned, he would agree to any conditions proposed by the Ming army.
After the representatives from both sides greeted the emperor of the other side and wished him good health, Marquis Ragus smiled and said: "I heard that Scholar Lu is a versatile scholar in both civil and military affairs.
He is really the pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

We, the tsar, are full of praise."
After hearing what the translator said, Lu Xiangsheng immediately said: "There is only one pillar in the Ming Dynasty, and that is His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
I dare not take what the Marquis said."
Although the flattery hit a snag, Marquis Ragus didn't seem to hear it and said: "Our Majesty the Tsar intends to make Academician Lu Duke of Siberia in recognition of Academician Lu's contribution to peace between the two countries."
Lu Xiangsheng said: "As far as I know, Siberia is now my territory of the Ming Dynasty.
How can your Majesty the Emperor use other people's territory to make people a title?
If you really want to make me a title, you might as well make me the Grand Duke of Moscow."
Dai Chunfeng looked at it funny, but he knew that the emperor treated Lu Xiangsheng very differently, and he said that he treated Lu Xiangsheng as a brother when he was in the martial arts hall.
If the Rakshasa people want to bribe or alienate, they can only be said to be wishful thinking.
Besides, as long as Han'er is not forced to do anything, how can ordinary people turn to the barbarians?
Marquis Ragus smiled and said: "This is just a name, but Duke Lu will be one of the top ten people in the Rakshasa Kingdom from now on.
The Grand Duke of Moscow already has one, so it's not easy to repeat it.
Our Tsar also has generous gifts.
I want to give it to the Duke, please accept it."
Dai Chunfeng can bet that the word "Xiao Na" was definitely added by the translator himself.
Rakshasa people don't speak so elegantly.
You see, they even give out generous gifts.
Barbarians are barbarians, and they actually show off their gifts like this.
This is just a waste of time.
It's just more fun.
Then the entourage of Marquis Ragus brought up the gifts, which were indeed rich enough, including a pair of white bear skins, two large gold bricks, some gems and pearls, and finally two enchanting Rakshasa beauties.
Dai Chunfeng originally didn't like them, but after seeing these two beauties, he couldn't take his eyes away immediately.
When he came here, he had been busy searching for information.
Although he had some connections with Rakshasa women, he had never met such a good one.
Lu Xiangsheng nodded, and a guard came forward to take all the gifts, including the two women.
Only then did Ragus make up his mind.
After the Rakshasa people suffered so much from the Ming army, they also began to try to understand the situation of the Ming Dynasty.
Some Rakshasa people saw the sentence "collect money to do things" in Ming Dynasty books, and knew that as long as Ming officials accepted money, they would definitely do things.
Since Lu Xiangsheng accepted the gift so readily, it means that it is possible for him to make some concessions during the negotiations later.
But he didn't know that if officials of the Ming Dynasty accepted gifts from other countries, the court allowed them.
However, it must be registered and handed over to the treasury, and then the court will give a 10% rebate based on the value of the gift.
This is completely different from the strict prohibition on accepting gifts in the country.
If it is a friendly country or a vassal country, officials may also consider whether the gift from this hostile country will be in vain if it is not accepted, and whether it will be accepted in vain if it is accepted
