"However, I believe that your emperor Ama is probably thinking of negotiating peace with us at this moment. It's just that he wants to save face and is holding on." Zhang Rui said with a smile.
"Why do you think that our Emperor Ama would think so." Aixinjueluo Yongqi, who had come to his senses after Zhang Rui's call just now, responded stubbornly.
"Do you really think your Qing Dynasty is in a good situation? There are natural and man-made disasters in Sichuan and Henan, and there are people in Yunnan and Guizhou who are revolting against your Qing Dynasty. Myanmar is eyeing Yunnan with covetous eyes, and the border is uneasy. And there is even less peace in Gansu. , I heard that the Hui people over there were massacred everywhere and conquered several cities, so they have the potential to establish a country." Zhang Rui said one by one.
"You have indeed almost pacified Junggar. The Mongolian tribes were also shocked by Uya Zhaohui's massacre of Junggar. If the Qing Dynasty continues to have wars all over the country, after the army that pacified Junggar is withdrawn, the Mongolian tribes will How long can we remain calm?"
Zhang Rui's words shocked Aixinjueluo Yongqi. He knew that the court was in troubled times, but he did not expect that the state affairs of the Qing Dynasty had become so difficult.
What frightened Aixinjueluo Yongqi even more was that Zhang Rui had such a thorough understanding of the affairs of the imperial court that he could even tell the difficult situation that the imperial court was facing now like a treasure trove.
But in comparison, Aixinjueluo Yongqi didn't know much about Zhang Rui.
Aixinjueluo Yongqi only knew the main things, probably Annan's invasion of Guangxi. In order to defend the territory of Guangdong and Guangxi, they had no choice but to send troops to fight against Annan.
They also knew that Annan was going to invade Guangxi and the rebels were going to fight with them, so they tried every means to hold back the main force of the rebels here and prepared to use Annan's invasion to destroy the areas occupied by the rebels, thereby weakening the rebels. strength.
However, things seem to be going the other way.
Aixinjueluo Yongqi never imagined that they would be defeated so miserably after a night of camp roaring.
It is true that the rebels are not at peace here. However, their Qing Dynasty may not necessarily be peaceful.
Nowadays, everyone is messing around, so don’t laugh all the time.
From the perspective of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, although the strength of the bandit suppression army seemed to be very strong, it was still a new force with little foundation, and two-front operations would cause fatal harm to it.
This is also the reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty continued to confront the bandit suppressing army despite the lack of military rations.
However, the situation of the bandit suppressing army was not good, and the situation of the Manchus was not necessarily any better. If the two giants continue to argue like this, they will slowly be swallowed up by the "little shrimps" behind them.
Now, it is in the interest of both parties to only temporarily stop and make time to deal with those "trivial matters."
Otherwise, even if the Qing army could really take advantage of the weaknesses of the new forces to defeat the bandit suppressing army. It may not be able to calm the entire chaotic world.
You must know that at this time, most of the Manchus had already lost their bravery outside the customs. Even most of the Manchu soldiers had lost the courage to go to the battlefield. How could they face the various forces that had arisen at that time?
Others may not be able to see these problems, but Qianlong can definitely see them. After all, when he participated in the review of troops and horses, he was always disappointed.
"Then what do you want?" Aixinjueluo Yongqi asked.
"It's very simple, let's stop and negotiate." Zhang Rui replied.
"How to negotiate peace?" Even though Aixinjueluo Yongqi knew that asking such a question might arouse criticism in the court, he still asked.
After all, what Zhang Rui said does make sense. There is no reason why two tigers have to let the "little shrimp" behind them chew clean just because they are looking at each other.
What the court wants is the country.
If the country is gone, what if all the rebels in front of us die.
Moreover, these rebels know how to run a place better than those bandits who only know how to run around and cause chaos. In this way, even if the court pacifies them in the future, the local losses will not be too great.
"It's very simple. We can set a small goal first. For example, both sides will withdraw their troops a hundred miles away, and the two sides will not start a war within three years." Zhang Rui said.
"What about the territory?" Aixinjueluo Yongqi continued to ask.
"Divide it based on the land occupied by you and me." Zhang Rui replied.
"How much land have you occupied now?" Aixinjueluo Yongqi couldn't help but frown and asked.
After all, these words are almost tantamount to betraying the country.
At this time, Zhang Rui went to the desk and pulled out a simple map. Then he picked up the charcoal pen placed on the desk and circled the map. Then he ordered someone to take it to Aixinjueluo Yongqi and unfold it for him to watch.
At this time, Aixinjueluo Yongqi took a closer look.
On the map, I can only see the Guangdong, Guangxi, and Lakes, Fujian and Zhejiang, the former Jiangnan Province (Jiangxi, Anhui, and Jiangsu), as well as Taiwan, which their "holy ancestor" Emperor Kangxi spent a lot of effort to flatten, and even Zhumadian and Zhoukou in Henan. are also included.
It can be said that Zhang Rui painted several of the richest places in the entire empire.
If he had never seen this map, Aixinjueluo Yongqi would only know the power of the bandit-suppressing army on a conscious level. But after seeing the map with his own eyes, Aixinjueluo Yongqi now more intuitively felt the power of the bandit suppression army.
Suddenly, Aixinjueluo Yongqi felt that it was difficult to relieve his breath.
Indeed, these places are the prosperous and prosperous places of the empire. It's enough to make a country boy want to settle down and enjoy the glory and wealth.
"But, we have lost the land. How can we not find it back? Just wait for us." Aixinjueluo Yongqi silently clenched his fists in his heart and said viciously.
"Are you demarcating the land correctly? When did you occupy Zhumadian and Zhoukou?" Aixinjueluo Yongqi pointed to the place where there was doubt.
"I'm a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder. I don't want to see a big gap in my land. So you have to give these places to me." Although there was some sense of robbery, Zhang Rui didn't feel it at all. Didn't say anything was wrong.
"You are too shameless. If you have any symptoms, go see a doctor. The land in these two places is so big, you just said it would be given to you?" Aixinjueluo Yong, who was already in a irritable state. Qi, unable to bear the anger in her heart anymore, roared.
"Do you still want to fight?" Zhang Rui said calmly with a calm face.
The double entendre of the words instantly made Aisinjueluo Yongqi understand the situation he was facing now.
