When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

In a short period of time, Southeast Asia was incorporated into Dalong.

Zhu Ming looked elsewhere.

Over the next hundred years, there will be constant wars all over the world, and civilization will be at a low point. The only weapons left are cannons. During this time, we must conquer enough territory.

North Asia is cold and the living conditions are harsh, but the resources are extremely rich. Even if they cannot be mined now, with the advancement of technology in the future, one day they will be able to be mined.

"I heard that the Russian Empire in the north has been causing trouble on the border recently. We are not the cowardly Qing Dynasty. Russia is a European country. What is a European country? It cannot have an inch of Asia. Look to the north. That is Asia. It has been our territory since ancient times. It is time to take back our own territory!"

Zhu Di looked at the map and saw the large piece of territory above the dragon.

Not much smaller than the big dragon.

He said excitedly: "The Dragon Emperor is right. European countries should just stay in Europe. It has been the territory of Yanhuang since ancient times. How dare they seize our territory? We must take it back!"

Most of the people in the court came from other dynasties.

Before coming here, I was told to listen to the Dragon Emperor.

I definitely won't object.

The local ministers would not object.

The Treaty of Rotocol made them realize that war can also make money.

"Let Huo Qubing select a few envoys, bring a thousand scouts, and go to Russia. Then mobilize the army and head north. From now on, this place will be called Long!"

Zhang Long serves as a scout.

After entering the territory of Tsarist Russia, he suddenly felt unwell.

Difficulty moving.

Xuan Zhuang, the head of the envoy group, said to the Russian officials in the cities along the way: "Can we let him recover here first, and then take them away when we return?"

The official of the Tsarist Russia waved his hand and said, "Well, don't worry, I will definitely have someone treat him."

"Thank you so much!"

Xuan Zhuang led the delegation to continue their journey.

Zhang Long stayed to recuperate.

Two days later, Zhang Long looked much better.

Find local officials.

"Thank you, sir. I have recovered from my illness and want to catch up with the leader. I came here today to say goodbye!"

The official was relieved to see Zhang Long alive and kicking. If the members of the delegation died here, it would be a bit of trouble. He prepared some food and said, "In this case, I can't let you stay. Take care on your journey!"

After Zhang Long left, he did not head in the direction the delegation left, but changed direction.

"This place is a bit empty. Once we teleport, we will be exposed immediately. Let's go and have a look somewhere else!"

The journey is long and the climate is not suitable.

Many people collapsed on the way and had to stay for treatment.

In the end, only four envoys came to Tsarist Russia.

Xuan Zhuang was humble and polite all the way. When he saw the Tsar, he changed his usual elegance and pointed at the Tsar and shouted: "Big Russian, you are a European country. When will you withdraw from Asia? You occupy our Asian territory every day. Isn't it shameful? Our Dragon Emperor said that if you don't return our Yanhuang territory, we will take it back by force. By then, whether Tsarist Russia will become a dead goose or not, who knows!"

The Tsar was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that the envoys would not even greet each other properly when they met, but would just start to confront each other.

Even though I had heard about the personality of the Dragon Messenger a long time ago, it was still a little hard to believe after seeing it now.

Tsarist Russia is not a small country like Annan, but one of the major powers in the world today.

"Assholes, how dare you be so unreasonable? Come on down and chop them off!"

I originally thought that the messengers would be scared.

But I saw that there was no fear on their faces.

The officials at the side tried to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, you can't kill them! You can't kill them! If you kill them, I'm afraid Dalong will send out his troops right away."

The Tsar snorted coldly: "Why should I be afraid of the dragon sending out troops? Do you think that Russia is afraid of the dragon?"

"Your Majesty, Tsarist Russia is not afraid of any enemy, but the Great Dragon today is not the Qing Dynasty. It is on the rise, and even the Eagle Country was defeated. Its strength is probably not inferior to that of Tsarist Russia. We still have to be careful."

"Humph, Tsarist Russia is not one of those small countries. Although the Great Dragon is powerful, it was also established on the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. The reason why it defeated the Eagle Country last time was that it took advantage of an unexpected opportunity and directly attacked the Eagle Country's territory, forcing the other party to surrender."

"The Russian Empire has a vast territory and a great strategic depth. The Eagle Nation cannot compare with us in this respect. In addition, the climate here is extremely cold. Even if the Dragon soldiers come, they will definitely not be able to endure it and will be defeated without a fight!"

"But Menggu used to be our northern territory, so we should give it back to us now."

During this era, Tsarist Russia seized territory everywhere.

The same is true for most officials!

They had long been eyeing Dalong's land and were looking for an opportunity to start a war. Now a few envoys have given them a reason.

The Tsar narrowed his eyes and looked at the map, becoming more and more jealous.

"The Great Dragon Envoy is arrogant and unreasonable. Beat him up and send him back! Also, tell the Great Dragon Emperor to return the northern territory. Otherwise, Tsarist Russia will start a war to take back our territory!"

Several messengers were severely beaten.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Those who could become envoys were either death row prisoners or people who disregarded their own lives. Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, they beheaded all the Tsarist Russian officials who were escorting several people.

Returning to Dalong, he cried about the Tsar's unreasonableness.

Zhu Ming was furious: "The Russian Empire has gone too far and openly beat up our Great Dragon envoy. He didn't hit the envoy, he hit our Great Dragon in the face. This shows that he doesn't take the Great Dragon seriously. Since the other party wants to start a war, that's even better. I will declare war on Russia immediately!
Zhu Di, this time you can be the general of the Northern Expedition again. You will lead a million-strong coalition army, plus 300,000 new Dalong troops, to conquer another vast country for Yanhuang!"

Zhu Di said solemnly: "Don't worry, Dragon Emperor. I can't guarantee anything else, but this part of Asia must be the territory of Yanhuang!"

The previous delegation of one thousand envoys did not go in vain.

Especially those scouts who are not acclimatized to the local climate. They are messengers in name, but in fact, they are just traveling around the map.

Due to environmental problems, the population of Tsarist Russia was relatively concentrated. When the diplomatic delegation went there, they at least visited the densely populated cities in the south of Tsarist Russia.

Zhu Ming sent it himself first.

After confirming that there is no problem.

Came before Zhu Di.

"Brother Zhu, I'll leave it to you from now on. When you come back, I'll treat you to a drink, and then we'll continue the fight."

Hearing that he could continue to fight, Zhu Di said happily: "It's fine as long as we can fight. I just like fighting, especially fighting foreigners. In fact, I became emperor for one reason, to protect myself, and the other is to achieve freedom to fight. I used to be disgusted with the Qing Dynasty, but now I find that the Qing Dynasty is not bad, at least there are more opportunities to fight!"

Tsarist Russia mobilized a large army and gathered towards the border.

Zhu Ming took the opportunity to send a million troops into the territory of Tsarist Russia.

Now the Tsarist Russia is short of military forces.

Faced with the sudden attack, Tsarist Russia was simply unable to resist.

Many troops from various places were transferred to the border, and many cities could only rely on their own defense forces to resist.

The million-strong army entered the empty land and captured cities one after another with unstoppable force. In just a few days, Tsarist Russia lost more than 20 important cities, most of which were densely populated and economically prosperous.

In this war, the soldiers of Tsarist Russia felt unprecedented fear.

Not only were they facing a powerful enemy, but more importantly, the Yanhuang army was elusive and seemed to be everywhere.

Moreover, they can eat meat and take baths, which is much more comfortable than the Tsarist Russian soldiers!
It’s a huge blow to morale!

At this time, the Russian imperial palace was in chaos, and the emperor and his ministers were discussing the situation in panic. The emperor angrily asked: "Where is our intelligence department? Why didn't we receive any news?"

A minister replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, our intelligence system has been monitoring the border, but there is no sign that the dragon's army will suddenly appear. This is simply incredible!"

Another minister echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Great Dragon must have used some mysterious tactics or magic to allow the army to enter our territory so quietly."

The emperor was so angry that he slammed the table: "No matter what the reason is, we must organize a counterattack immediately! We can't let the dragon continue to wreak havoc!"

"boom!"

Several gunshots were heard.

The Tsar was shocked and immediately shouted, "That was the sound of cannons. What's going on? Who dared to fire cannons in the city?"

"Your Majesty, this is bad! It's the Great Dragon Yanhuang Army. They have already entered the city and are heading here!"

The officials present were all shocked. The Tsar's eyes widened. "What? A large number of Dalong Yanhuang troops appeared in the city. Let's not talk about other places. This is the capital of Tsarist Russia. How could the Dalong Yanhuang troops appear? How did they get in?"

At this moment, the Tsar also felt the despair that the Queen of the Eagle Kingdom felt that day.

The Dalong Yanhuang Army seems to be everywhere and can appear anywhere at any time.

How can we fight this?

His army has just arrived at the border.

As a result, the other party showed up directly at my hometown and started demolishing the house. I was afraid I would lose this round.

Consecutive days.

The army organized by the Tsar, together with reinforcements coming from other directions.

With the cooperation of cannons and the Luoyang-made and Yingtian-made guns, they all fell.

Tsarist Russia was really frightened this time. They never expected that the other side could directly attack their capital.

If it was just a surprise attack, it could be said that it was due to poor intelligence work, but now we are unable to defend ourselves against the enemy's strong attack. This is no longer a simple intelligence problem.

Especially when they saw the shocking casualty ratio, they realized that the gap in strength between the two sides was so huge.

What does a ratio of one to twenty to thirty mean?
This means they can't win at all!

This made those officials feel extremely terrified. They knew clearly that if they were caught, they would instantly fall from being high-ranking officials to being prisoners.

Those newly emerging forces will ruthlessly take their place.

This huge gap and the impending fate made them fall into deep panic.

The Tsar immediately convened an emergency meeting.

"Everyone, I'm sure you all heard the gunfire outside. How will Tsarist Russia respond?"

"Your Majesty, I think we can ask for peace with the other side!"

"Dalong is only interested in the territory in Asia. Although Siberia and the Far East are large in area, the climate is extremely cold, making it difficult to survive, and the population is sparse. It is not very meaningful to Tsarist Russia at the moment, so it is better to sell it to Dalong."

"Okay, ceding land doesn't sound good, but if we sell the land, no one can say anything!"

"Our main forces are in Europe. Asia is not as important to us as we thought. It is too difficult to develop it. If we don't develop it, we can just leave it alone. If we sell it to Dalong, we can not only avoid the crisis of national destruction, but also pass this trouble to him."

The Tsar looked at the huge piece of territory on the map, and finally sighed and said, "Well, I didn't expect the dragon to be so powerful. In the future, I can only try my best to occupy more territory in Europe!"

In the tent.

Zhu Ming was stunned: "Tsarist Russia wants to make a deal with Dalong and sell the territory in Asia to Dalong?"

Yao Guangxiao nodded and said, "Yes, the Tsar probably knew that he could not keep the territory, so he changed his words and ceded the territory in disguise. After all, ceding the territory represents humiliation. Even in later generations, people can say that the land transaction was a misjudgment at the time."

Zhu Ming smiled softly: "Our goal is land. As long as we can get the land, it doesn't matter whether it is conquered or bought. How much silver do they plan to sell it to us?"

"If converted into silver, it would be about 30 million taels of silver. For a piece of land comparable to the size of the Ming Dynasty, 30 million taels of silver is already very cheap. It's a pity that there is no such good thing in the Ming Dynasty." Yao Guangxiao said with envy.

Thirty million taels of silver may seem like a lot, but Siberia and the Far East, combined, represent tens of millions of square kilometers of land, which is already very cheap.

Zhu Ming agreed in his heart, but he would definitely cut the price. He shook his head and said, "30 million taels of silver is better than taking it down. This price is too high!"

Yao Guangxiao took a deep breath. Is this price still high?

"Yes, the price offered by the other party must have room for maneuver. I was fooled!"

The negotiation should be left to Zhu Di.

Zhu Ming also arranged for several local people from Dalong to go and broaden their horizons.

"Li Hongzhang, as the deputy in this negotiation, you should learn from Marshal Zhu!"

The still very young Li Hongzhang was terrified and said: "I will definitely learn well from Marshal Zhu!"

on the negotiating table.

The two sides had a fierce argument.

Zhu Di was very confident, and now it is Tsarist Russia that is anxious to seek peace.

For the big dragon, you can choose calmly whether to attack it or buy it.

"For such a vast land, 30 million is already very low. It cannot be any less!"

Zhu Di sneered: "Look at your land, it's all extremely cold. Not only can you not grow anything, but it's basically uninhabitable. I guess the number of people living in this area of ​​your country is not as many as a city in the west. At most, there are 8 million taels of silver!"

The negotiations reached a stalemate several times.

The Tsarist Russian delegation left several times.

Zhu Di was not in a hurry, knowing that the other party would not leave like this.

It's just a show, just find a room to discuss it.

After a few days of probing each other, both sides had almost figured out the other's price.

"Fifteen million taels of silver. If possible, we can sign the contract now. Otherwise, we can sell it to the Gauls!"

Zhu Di smiled and said, "I don't think Gaul will buy it. There aren't many people there. If Gaul buys it, it can't send people to develop it itself."

The Tsarist Russian delegation certainly knew about it, let alone whether Gaul wanted to buy it.

With the big dragon here, if Gaul wants to buy it, he has to consider his own strength.

"Fifteen million taels of silver is fine, but you have to include this piece of land. It's useless for you to keep it now!" Zhu Di said, pointing to Alaska.

It is separated by the Bering Strait.

Without the land in Asia, it would be even farther.

For Tsarist Russia, whether it could develop or not was a problem, and whether it could defend or not was a problem. (End of this chapter)
