In the big tent of the Ming army, Zhu Cihong was sitting in danger and ignored the stewed horse meat on the table, he was very hungry, but as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty now wanted to see the emperor of another country, even if the emperor was already a prisoner, he still felt that he should maintain the dignity he deserved.

It's just that Liu Hongjian didn't have so many scruples, this guy grabbed a piece of stewed soft and fragrant horse meat in his right hand, and drank a mouthful of broth after eating two bites, and sometimes took a small sip from the wine cup.

Leaning, Alexei was brought in, and out of respect for him, Zhu Cihong specially ordered someone to untie the rope and gave him a wooden bench.

Alexei is as young as Zhu Cihong, but now he is extremely embarrassed.

There was no longer a group of chamberlains around him, and no one obeyed his orders, he knew that he was surrounded by enemies, and anyone could kill him.

"I'll ask, you answer, tell a lie, one less meal." Liu Hong gradually warned Alexei I while eating.

Liu Hongji's words were very straightforward, he neither deliberately insulted the tsar, nor did he give him any preferential treatment, in his opinion, a prisoner is a prisoner, and he must have the consciousness of being a prisoner.

He can not kill the tsar, but the tsar has to give him what he wants, everyone takes what they need, become a king or defeat a coward, who makes you inferior to others?

Han Rongfa, the interpreter on the side, muttered and translated Liu Hongji's original words to Tsar Alexei I, Alexei frowned after hearing this, and the Ming army did not punish him.

But after fleeing for most of the day, and being held in a large tent for several hours, he was now thirsty and hungry, and he even swallowed several saliva as he watched the horse meat in Liu Hongji's hand.

“Отпуститеменя，ямогузаплатитьмноговыкупа.” Alexei decided not to look at Liu Hongjian and the meat in his hand, and turned his gaze to Zhu Cihongdao.

"Emperor Qi, prince, he said that he can pay a lot of ransom, as long as you let him go." Han Rongfa saluted Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong didn't say anything when he heard this, but looked at Liu Hongji, he didn't know Liu Hongji's next plan, but since he had told the soldiers of the whole army at the beginning that he would not interfere in the war, he decided to throw the question to Liu Hongji.

"Tell him that we need land, we need land for the Rakshasas."

Liu Hongjian finally had enough to eat and drink, and Kuoduan brought a basin of water from the side to wash Liu Hong's hands, and Liu Hongjian said again after the incident.

His meaning is very clear, the indemnity must be paid, but the land must not be less.

He who has studied history knows in his heart that it seems that since the Han Dynasty, there have been many wars with foreign vassals, but even if they win, they have never asked the other party to cede land and pay compensation.

In modern times, more foreign vassals asked Huaxia to cede land and pay compensation, which made him really uncomfortable in his heart.

Otherwise, he himself felt that he couldn't explain to the dead Wan Brother.

"Can you be specific?"

Alexei understood what Liu Hongjian meant, he did not agree or refuse, it seemed that he was weighing.

"The contract is clearly written, but you Rakshasas are resentful, so you broke the contract in less than two years, and sent troops to invade our allies, intending to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, I remember that your ancestor was the Grand Duke of Moscow, so it is better to use the territory of Muscovy as the boundary, what do you think? ”

Liu Hong gradually considered it carefully.

Although he was tempted to say that you should hand over all the chassis or something, he still left room for Alexei out of sincerity.

In later generations, most of Russia's territory was in Asia, and only a small part belonged to Europe, but this country claimed to be a European country for the sake of European identity.

Well, then in that case, Lao Tzu will only leave you a small piece of Europe, anyway, Europa is not a small country, and you just go over to make up a number, which can be regarded as worthy of the name.

"How is this possible? The Rakshasa still has no less than 100,000 garrisons, and we still have strong walls, and you can't defeat it at all! ”

Alexei was furious when he heard this.

He had thought about ceding the territory west of the city of Erkou and east of the Ongra River, and even if he did, he would certainly be reprimanded if he returned.

But he didn't expect Liu Hongji's appetite to be so big, and the territory of Muscovy was less than a quarter of the territory currently controlled by the Rakshasa State.

Moreover, to the west, there were Poland and Sweden, which had been fighting, and if they lost such a large amount of land, Muscovy would not be able to resist the combined attack of the two countries.

Alexei decided that even if he was killed, he categorically would not agree to such an agreement, he did not want to be nailed to the pillar of shame of the family.

"So, you're refusing?" Liu Hongjian was not angry, but breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried that if the tsar really agreed, there would still be war in the future.

"Yes, the Rakshasas won't agree, and neither will I." Alexei was very resolute, and at this moment he forgot his fear.

"Okay, the twisted melon is not sweet, but you don't regret it, since you don't give it, then the king will call you.

Take him down, two steamed buns a day, he is too fat, he should lose weight. ”

Liu Hong gradually waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to take Alexei I down.

There were only two people left in the big tent, Liu Hongjian and Zhu Cihong.

"Alas, Your Majesty, it seems that we really have to gnaw city by city!" Liu Hong gradually sighed and said.

"What's wrong with that, I asked someone from the household department, if we take 100,000 troops as an example, our current savings are enough for us to fight for three years."

Zhu Cihong didn't take it seriously, he is now more persistent than Liu Hongjian in expanding the territory.

"Hehe, where is it so simple, the territory of the Rakshasa people is no less than that of the Ming Dynasty, and don't you feel the chill now?" Liu Hong gradually asked rhetorically.

Although he had already prepared for the westward expedition, he had to give Zhu Cihong a wake-up call.

Several of the more famous wars in history to invade the Rakshasa Kingdom ended in failure, and neither Napoleon, known as the European god of war, nor Hitler escaped this fate.

The reason is actually very simple, the Rakshasa Kingdom is too cold.

It's just the eighth month of the lunar calendar, but you have to cover it with a thick blanket on this desert grassland at night, and it will snow in two months if the weather is not beautiful.

At the coldest time, the temperature in Siberia can reach a terrifying minus 50 degrees, and even the cold-resistant Northeast soldiers and the Allied Ancient soldiers can't stand such temperatures, and this is only one of them.

The territory of the Rakshasa country is vast, and it has a strategic depth no less than that of the Ming Dynasty, if the Rakshasa people are smart enough to clear the wilderness, then the food supply and ammunition supply all rely on people to carry horses.

Grain was transported all the way from Jiangnan, an important production area of the Ming Dynasty, to the capital through Cao, and then transported to the Great Wall, to Beihai, and further west.

Not to mention how much to consume along the way, how many troops does the Ming need to maintain the safety of the supply line?

Zhu Cihong would not have thought of these questions, but as the commander of the whole army, Liu Hongjian must be responsible for the lives of himself and 100,000 soldiers.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go back to Beijing?" Liu Hong gradually frowned and thought about it.
