Before the matter was over, after Remeni left, Wu Chaoyue, who knew the current gap in strength between China and Russia, was a little worried. Zhao Liewen and Yan Jingming, who had been with him, breathed a sigh of relief. Then Zhao Liewen laughed and said, "Weiting, it's rare to see you speak so rudely. Judging from your appearance just now, I really worry that you will fight with Remeni on the spot."

"Take it on the spot?" Wu Chaoyue laughed in silence and said, "Hui Fu, you underestimate Remeni too much. After all, he is a foreign diplomat. No matter how bad his character is, no matter how fierce the dispute is at the negotiating table, he will never take the initiative to act and give others a sarcasm. So don't say that I am considered graceful just now. Even if I point at his nose to greet his eighteen generations of ancestors, Remeni will never attack me."

After smiling, Wu Chaoyue frowned slightly again and said, "On the contrary, on the battlefield of diplomacy, I must be on guard against Remeni. He said nothing wrong with what he said just now. With the overall strength of Tsarist Russia, it is not capable of fighting a long battle with us on the battlefield of Northeast China. But if they are determined to support the Shengjing rebels to split our territory, it will be really difficult for us to deal with it. If we don't handle it well, Northeast China and Mongolia may be split by the Russians and the rebels, and it will be difficult to take it back."

If it was replaced by someone else, or if it was replaced by Zhao Liewen and Yan Jingming before Wu Chaoyue became accomplices, then Wu Chaoyue's concern would definitely be ridiculed as a big deal, thinking that even if the bitter and cold land in the Northeast and the Mongolian grassland were lost, it would have little impact on the Central Plains of Fuhua Tianbao. But Zhao Liewen and Yan Jingming are different now. After Wu Chaoyue was exposed to Wu Chaoyue's side, they learned the importance of territorial sovereignty, and heard Wu Chaoyue repeatedly talk about the importance and rich resources of Northeast and Mongolia. Subtle influence, the thinking of Zhao Yan and Yan were already very close to modern people. So after listening to Wu Chaoyue's concerns, Zhao Liewen and Yan Jingming immediately started to think about the countermeasures and racked their brains to help Wu Chaoyue figure out countermeasures.

It would be fine if I didn't think about it. After careful consideration, Yan Jingming soon discovered something wrong and said, "Weiting, if the Rakshasa Kingdom fully supports the Shengjing Disruption Party and do something right with us, it will be disgusting to us. It is also possible to split our Northeast and Mongolia. But why should the Rakshasa Kingdom do such a thing that harms others and is not good for oneself? Spend money and efforts to help the Shengjing Disruption Party divide our Chinese territory?"

"Mr. Danchu, do you still need to ask such a simple question?" Zhao Liewen took the conversation and asked strangely: "Of course, the Rakshasa Kingdom did this to covet the land of our Northeast and Mongolia. First, pretend to be a good person to help the Shengjing Rebellion Party stabilize the situation, take the opportunity to reach into the Northeast and Mongolia. Then, as long as you have the opportunity, you will surely annex the land of the Northeast and Mongolia immediately, and take back their investment in the Shengjing Rebellion Party with capital and interest?"

"What will the Rakshasa people treat the Shengjing Rebellion Party then?" Yan Jingming asked.

"If the Rakshasa people have a little conscience, they will give the Shengjing Rebellion Party some idle positions, so that they can eat, drink and die." Zhao Liewen replied without thinking: "If the food is ugly, the Rakshasa people can directly kill the Shengjing Rebellion Party with one knife, or solve it with a glass of poisoned wine, saving money, food and trouble."

After answering this question, Zhao Liewen also understood the reason why Yan Jingming asked these simple questions and asked tentatively: "Mr. Danchu, do you want the Shengjing Rebellion Party to understand this truth? Let them not accept the aid of the Rakshasa Kingdom? Or let them not give the Rakshasa Kingdom the chance to reach out to the Northeast and Mongolia?"

"Ci'an and Cixi must understand this truth, and Yi (Guizi Liu) must also understand it." This time it was Wu Chaoyue who snatched the conversation and said, "But using this point to threaten them is useless. With their treacherousness, they will definitely use the Rakshasa people as threats, forcing us to accept the harsh conditions they put forward, and even forcing us to agree not to unify Northeast and Mongolia by force."

"But at most they just dare to say it, leading the wolf into the house and leading the Rakshasa soldiers into the Northeast and Mongolia. They may not dare to do this." Yan Jingming reminded: "Weiting, don't forget that for the sake of the great power of the court, the two empress dowagers and the pseudo-Prince Gong could do the joint coup. How could people like them to tolerate the Rakshasa people to put them under siege? They should take them, fight them, and kill them if they want to kill?"

Yan Jingming's words awakened Wu Chaoyue and also made Wu Chaoyue see the dawn of solving the problem on the front line, because Wu Chaoyue knew very well how powerful his cheap niece Cixi was so that in order to continue to control the government, he could even do the task of declaring war on the whole world! So Wu Chaoyue also cheered up some spirit and asked Yan Jingming: "Mr. Danchu, in your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?"

"The officials think it's better to fight for the forced surrender of the Shengjing Rebellion Party." Yan Jingming replied: "Now we do not have the strength to advance to the Northeast and Mongolia to regain this land by force. However, if we can make good use of the inevitable contradiction between the Shengjing Rebellion Party and the Rakshasa Kingdom, it is not that we have no chance to force the Shengjing Rebellion Party to surrender to us."

"What should I do?" Wu Chaoyue asked after thinking about it.

"How to do it specifically, the officials still can't come up with their ideas for the time being." Yan Jingming replied: "But the officials believe that we should grasp two points tightly. The first is to let the Shengjing Rebellion Party understand that no matter how the Rakshasa Kingdom helps them, they will have bad intentions. Sooner or later, they will swallow them up with their belts and bones. The second is to let the Shengjing Rebellion Party know that surrender is stronger than relying on the Rakshasa Kingdom, and at least they can save their lives and wealth. As long as these two points are achieved, the Shengjing Rebellion Party will definitely be more afraid of the Rakshasa Kingdom. If we want to force the Shengjing Rebellion Party to take the initiative to put down our weapons and surrender, it will be much easier."

Yan Jingming said it very generally and did not give a specific solution to the problem, but as long as there is a general direction, it is enough. After pondering for a long time, Wu Chaoyue suddenly spoke and ordered the guard next to him: "Go, invite Remeni, the envoy of the Rakshasa Kingdom just now, and say I want to talk to him again. Also, prepare the book office and record all the words I talk to Remeni."

Knowing that Wu Chaoyue must play tricks, Zhao Liewen and Yan Jingming didn't ask much, and smiled and just waited for Remeni to return. Then, before much time even Wuchang City had time, Remeni was invited back to Wu Chaoyue. Wu Chaoyue finally changed his intimate and polite face, and expressed his apology for his rude words and deeds just now. Although Remeni, who was a professional diplomat, was despised, he did not express it in public. He smiled and just said that he had something wrong just now, as if he met Wu Chaoyue again and lost his grudges.

After saying nonsense, Wu Chaoyue took the initiative to propose a matter of territory and said, "Dear Mr. Remeni, I have a small friendly proposal for the division between Guan and Gui. I wonder if you can agree?"

"His Excellency Zhennan King, it depends on what kind of friendly proposal you have." Remeni replied with a smile.

"Of course I made a proposal to make a huge concession." Wu Chaoyue threw the bait and said with a smile: "Of course, I also have a condition. If Mr. Remeni, you can agree and do it, then I will make concessions on the division of territory immediately."

"King of Zhennan, your conditions must be related to the Shengjing regime in your country, right?" Remeni asked with a smile.

"Yes, I hope to join forces with your country to eliminate the Shengjing puppet regime in our Qing Dynasty." Wu Chaoyue replied frankly, and said: "Of course, I don't need your country to send troops to help. As long as your country supports me in politics and diplomacy, then after I overthrow the Shengjing puppet regime by force, if the people of the Shengjing puppet regime fled to your country's control, your country must unconditionally arrest them and hand them over to me for disposal."

After saying that, Wu Chaoyue added another sentence, saying: "Including the Queen Mother of the East and Queen Mother of the Puppet Regime of Shengjing, as well as the Pseudo-Gong Prince Yi and the Pseudo-Korbi Prince Seng Gelinbi, they must also be arrested and handed over to me unconditionally."

"Of course we can consider agreeing to these." Germeni said with a smile: "But the premise is, Lord Zhennan, what kind of concessions do you plan to make in your territory?"

"I can recognize the Conditions of Aihui." Wu Chaoyue smiled and said, "Mr. Remeni, I believe you also know that although Yishan, the general of the Qing Dynasty, signed the Treaty of Aihui with you, our Qing Dynasty court has never officially recognized it. Your predecessor, Mr. Ignakiyev, also signed a diplomatic document with me and promised that the land involved in the Treaty of Aihui will be temporarily managed and developed by our two countries. If your country can help me eliminate the pseudo-government of Shengjing, I am willing to recognize the Treaty of Aihui and cede that large piece of land to you. Also, you do not need to return the cost of joint development that our Hubei temporary government compensates you before."

"Damn the yellow-skinned monkey, finally let go." Remeni was secretly happy, but his face was very disdainful, and said with a smile: "Hisser King Zhennan, your concessions are too small. Let's not talk about the land involved in the Treaty of Aihui, which has long been under the control of our Tsarist Russian Empire. Even if you are willing to recognize the Treaty of Aihui, that land is too small."

"I can also consider making concessions in Yili." Wu Chaoyue said with a smile: "As long as your country offers a price, we can discuss and negotiate. But the premise is that your country must first sign an official document to help me eliminate the pseudo-government of Shengjing."

Remeni smiled and said, "His Excellency Zhennan, you have taken too much advantage? Before the division of territory has been completed, let us sign the official document with you to jointly eliminate the pseudo-government of Shengjing. If this is eliminated, will you still make concessions at the negotiating table?"

"Dear Mr. Remeni, you can think about it first and then answer whether I can agree." Wu Chaoyue said with a smile: "And I must remind you, dear Mr. Remeni, I have shown enough sincerity to cooperate with your country. If your country agrees, you can obtain a large area of ​​territory at a very small price. If your country refuses to cooperate and I refuse to recognize the Treaty of Aihui, then the price you pay for if your country wants to obtain land related to the Treaty of Aihui will definitely not be so small."

Remeni rolled his eyes and thought, Wu Chaoyue observed his expression and said, "Dear Mr. Remeni, I will take the liberty to remind you again. If you reject the friendly cooperation suggestions I have made, I can also ask Britain and France to help solve the problem about the Treaty of Aihui. The price you will pay will be even greater."

It is clear that Britain, France and other countries will never watch Russia eat such a large piece of land, and they also know that even if their country can convince Britain, France and other countries to give up their support for Wu Chaoyue, they will definitely make huge concessions in Europe. After thinking for a long time, Remeni still dared not completely block the road. He nodded and said, "Okay, Lord Zhennan, let me think about it and then give you a reply. But I have something to say first, join hands with you to eliminate your country's Shengjing pseudo-government. Our Tsarist Russian Empire can consider accepting it, but we must end the negotiations on territorial division first."

"At the same time." Wu Chaoyue extended a hand to Remeni and said, "While negotiating territorial division, while discussing how to join forces to eliminate the pseudo-government of Shengjing."

"Of course this is OK." Remeni also stretched out his dirty claws, held Wu Chaoyue's hands together and shook them a few times.

After the barely friendly conversation, Wu Chaoyue invited Remeni to have dinner with him. Remeni agreed, but unfortunately it was still early. Remeni could only leave temporarily at the invitation of the Wu Mansion guards, and went to the guest room to wait for dinner time to come. Wu Chaoyue arranged his brother-in-law Zeng Jize to accompany him to deal with Remeni temporarily. As a result, after Remeni left, Wu Chaoyue of course picked up the conversation between him and Remeni recorded by the Library Office and read it carefully. Seeing that the content was correct, Wu Chaoyue immediately ordered the Library Office: "Crop two copies and don't change a word."

The bookkeeper agreed and quickly picked up the pen to copy it. Zhao Liewen next to him also asked with a smile: "Weiting, the two copies of the transcript must be handed over to the Beijing Rebellion Party, and who do you plan to give the other?"

"Seng Gelinbi." Wu Chaoyue gave an unexpected answer and said: "Although Seng Gelinbi is a bit of arguing, he is quite proposition in terms of major issues and is very xenophobic. He will never watch the Rakshasa Kingdom annex Mongolia, so that he can see the true face of Rakshasa Kingdom. If he wants to surrender, he will have certain hope."

"Then it's better to attach a letter of persuasion to him." Zhao Liewen suggested: "Promise him to continue to serve as Prince Koerbi, and continue to recognize the title of Mongolian princes and titles, and advise him to surrender to us with the Eight Mongolian Banners. In this way, as long as we can force the Shengjing Rebellion Party to surrender, he will at least 80% likely to surrender to us."

"Okay, that's it." Wu Chaoyue agreed and ordered: "Huifu, write another letter for me to my eldest niece, Empress Dowager Cixi, and said that as long as she can persuade Empress Dowager Dong and Yi to put down her weapons and surrender to us, I will respect her as the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother and work with her to control the government. In addition, even if Empress Dowager Dong shows the imperial edict of the late emperor who gave her death, I can guarantee that it will not be implemented."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" Zhao Liewen said with some concern: "Weiting, your eldest niece, is not just ordinary smart. Can you change it to put down your weapons and surrender to you because of your light promise?"

"It is because she is smart enough that she will make smart choices." Wu Chaoyue pointed to the conversation record that the Book Office was copying, and said, "After seeing that record, she will definitely understand that if she falls into the hands of the Rakshasa people, she will definitely not have any good endings. Only by standing on my side can she have a glimmer of hope to control her power, and even if she is not good, she can be rich and prosperous for life and fill her famously greedy mouth."

After saying that, Wu Chaoyue added another sentence and said, "At least, we can temporarily stabilize her so that she and the Queen Mother of the East will not immediately fall to the Rakshasa people, and give us time to prepare to recover the Northeast by force."
