Chapter 872 Rejection

"Very good, everything is thriving." Zhao Xu looked at the two of them and couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Fu and Yang Feng looked at each other and both smiled.

At this time, thinking of the war in Jiangnan, Yang Feng said: "Your Highness is coming back this time, will you go back?"

Liu Fu also cast a searching look at Zhao Xu.

"When I meet the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian State, I will go to Jiameng Pass and try to kill all the remaining powerful clans as soon as possible." The smile on Zhao Xu's face faded, and a trace of gloom filled his eyes.

Returning from the war-torn Jiangnan to the idyllic Jiangbei, he felt as if he was in another world.

It was precisely because of the two comparisons that he became more convinced of an idea.

That is, after resolving the civil strife, he will never let the mainland of Dasong suffer war again.

Any enemy who wants to bring the flames of war to the territory of Dasong again will definitely make them pay a heavy price.

"Your Highness has worked really hard to put down these rebellions." Yang Feng felt a little sorry for Zhao Xu.

At this moment, he is not a minister, but a grandson-in-law.

King Yan was so young, but he took on the important task of revitalizing Dasong.

In comparison, these ministers looked like waste.

"Yes, but it's almost over." Liu Fu said, "The powerful people are just hanging on."

Thinking of something, he looked worried again, "I'm afraid annihilating the powerful clan is not the end of the war, but the beginning..."

Yang Feng felt more and more sorry for Zhao Xu. He knew exactly what Liu Fu was going to say.

Before Beidi was destroyed, there was another Rus Kingdom in the north.

There are also British, Frank and other Western natives in the south.

On the sea to the east, Japan's Watanabe case is still stubbornly resisting, and there is also a country called Sam Country, which is watching covetously.

They really still have a lot of battles to fight.

"Hahaha... Don't worry, the wheel of history has turned to our side. I just feel disgusted with these flies." Zhao Xu looked relaxed.

Next, his goal is very clear, which is to lead Dasong's army to conquer a large territory.

Let Dasong become the top developed country in this era.

After talking about some government and military affairs, the two left.

Zhao Xu counted the days and spent another three leisurely days in Yancheng, spending time with Concubine Mi and Yang Susu.

On the third day, we took a steam locomotive from Yancheng to Yanguan.

Although the Yanjin Railway has not been completed, some sections have been opened to traffic.

For example, the road from Yancheng to Yanguan.

In just half a day, he arrived at Yanguan from Yancheng.

At this time, Russian Foreign Minister Chevs was already waiting at Yanguan.

After Zhao Xu arrived, he met Chefs at General Yanguan's Mansion.

This is a tall and muscular middle-aged man, with a flash of light in his small eyes, making him look very shrewd.

"Your Highness King Yan, our Emperor Nicholas asked me to say hello to you on his behalf." He was led into the main hall of the General's Mansion by the soldiers.

Seeing Zhao Xu sitting on the steps, Chefs bowed and saluted.

The day after the British Foreign Minister arrived in Rus', Emperor Nicholas ordered him to go to Great Song.

After two months of trekking, he arrived first.

The subsequent 30,000 Russian troops will be delayed due to baggage problems.

Zhao Xu looked at Chefs and said, "Is his way of saying hello going to be to intervene in the civil strife in Dasong with Beidi?"

His tone of voice was calm, but Chefs could feel a chill.

"Your Highness, King Yan, this is Ivan's personal decision. Under the circumstances, he can only make the decision that is most beneficial to the country of Russia. I believe that even your ministers will do the same." Chefs said.

"You are right, so out of self-interest, we will make you pay for your actions. This is fair and reasonable." Zhao Xu said lightly.

Chefs was silent for a moment.

He is thinking.

Obviously, this King Yan is an extremely tough person and will not allow himself to suffer a little loss.

I'm afraid that this meeting with King Yan will end on bad terms.

But he came with the will of Emperor Nicholas and must carry out his mission.

So he said, "Your Highness, you may not be aware of what is happening. The fact that you annihilated the British fleet angered Queen Ashley of Britain. She sent the foreign minister to all the countries in the Western Territory. Now, I am only afraid of the important Western Territory countries. An agreement has been reached, and the Western Turks’ coalition forces and fleet will arrive soon.”

"Really?" Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes.

He had always had this suspicion, after all, in modern times, Britain had done the same thing with other countries.

Here, of course, they can do it.

Chefs' answer only confirmed the answer in his mind, but it didn't surprise him.

Zhao Xu was not surprised, but Chefs was surprised.

He imagined that King Yan would be scared and frightened.

In this way, they can take the opportunity to throw out their own conditions and reap the maximum benefits.

King Yan was so calm, but he didn't know what to do?

"Your Highness King Yan, do you know Xitu?" Chefs hesitated and asked.

To him, anyone who could remain indifferent to this matter either knew nothing about the West or was an arrogant person.

"I understand very well." Zhao Xu said, "So what? Do you think I will be afraid? Well, I have been waiting to deal with them."

Chefs' mouth grew louder, and he began to believe that the King of Yan was an egomaniac.

According to his understanding, Jiangbei, controlled by King Yan, was far behind the West in terms of steam industry scale.

The reason they were able to win was nothing more than innovation in muskets.

But this innovation was not enough to sustain his advantage.

Because they can imitate all the firearms they are using now.

"It seems that we must let this King of Yan face reality." Chevs thought to himself.

He didn't think he could reach any agreement with King of Yan now, until King of Yan suffered a loss at the hands of the coalition forces in the West.

At that time, he could seriously consider the proposal of the Russian State.

He was thinking, and suddenly heard Zhao Xu's words, "Let's get straight to the point, what do you want?"

Coming back to his senses, Chevs said, "What we want is very simple. As long as Your Highness agrees to hand over Goryeo and the north of Japan to the Russian State, not to offend the Northern Di, and admit that we have obtained territory from the Northern Di, we will attack Dasong together with Britain."

Although he already believed that no agreement could be reached, he still had to put the conditions on the table.

One day, when King of Yan recognizes reality, he may accept these conditions.

"Your appetite is really not small." Zhao Xu suddenly sneered.

He finally realized the purpose of Chevs coming here.

Nicholas just wanted to use one, "I won't fight you" in exchange for huge geopolitical benefits.

It was really like getting something for nothing.

However, this was just as he expected. The Russian Empire at this time could not reach any mutually beneficial cooperation with him.

So he said, "I can tell you now that I will definitely destroy Beidi, and the territory of Beidi will also belong to Dasong."

Chevs was shocked and angry. He said, "In that case, let's wait and see."

After that, he turned and left.

This time, he wanted to fully support Beidi and teach King Yan a hard lesson in Yizhou.

Let him know his own weight.
