"Buddha Amitayus!" A Taoist priest standing outside the bazaar said loudly, and when he saw the great lama slowly walking out of the many monks, he bowed slightly, "The poor Taoist is full of clouds and sees the living Buddha of Stick Gazal." ”

Seeing a lotus flower embroidered on the placket of the Taoist priest's clothes, the Living Buddha nodded, "Hello, Brother Daoist of the White Lotus Sect, I wish you Tashi Delek." ”

"Don't dare to call Brother Dao in front of the Living Buddha," Man Yunzi said with a smile, "Xiaodao, today happened to meet the Living Buddha, and specially passed the news from the north, the cavalry of the Russian Cossacks, at this time, two hundred miles away, about two hours, will be here." ”

The Living Buddha was slightly surprised, "In this way, thank you Brother Dao for delivering the news, and I am very grateful." ”

"Don't dare to be."

"Did you also go to Russia to preach?" The Living Buddha looked at Man Yunzi and said.

"Yes, the decree of the Zunli Academy, in order to educate the country of foreign vassals, I have to come," Man Yunzi said, "Please rest assured that the living Buddha is the place where the Chenghua Temple preaches, and the concealment will never be contaminated, and the purpose of the concealment is still to be placed in the Three Khanates," Man Yunzi waved the dust, "I always have to worry about the country." ”

"All the religions are under the Lijiao Yuan, how can there be any contamination or not contamination," Stick Ka Zal Shen Living Buddha smiled generously, "are all for the country, for the promotion of this religion, there is no point to divide so clearly, your religion is good at passing on the news, I Chenghua Temple wants to break ground on the head of the Russians, build a temple, indispensable to the support of your religion, your religion is now the same as Chenghua Temple, are the landlords of Xinjiang, naturally need to work together, regardless of each other." ”

"Buddha Amitayus! As soon as you hear the words of the Living Buddha, you will know that the Dharma is profound, and you can be at ease. Man Yunzi smiled, "The Great Lama's thoughts." The poor way will inevitably tell the sect leader. I also have to tell the living Buddha that the eastern side of the Kulen side has also launched, if the living Buddha is slow and is robbed of the limelight by the Mongolian side, it will not be good. ”

"Thank you, Brother Dao," Man Yunzi floated away. The Living Buddha bent down to see him off, turned around, his plain eyes showed a fine light, and looked to the east, and the underground believers still knelt down and prayed.

"Cullen?" ……

"Cullen?" Russian Ambassador Zhugrev muttered the word, which he had just roared in the lobby of the Prime Minister's Yamen, and he really couldn't understand and understand why it was just killing some insignificant herdsmen to cause the Chinese to be so angry. Before the New Year, the Cossack cavalry attacked several county towns, and they did not see the Chinese so excited, and now they just killed a few herdsmen, and the Chinese could not hold back like this, and they were going to war with the giant Russian Empire?

Zhugrev has been an ambassador in China for many years, but unfortunately he has not moved, I don't know if the Chinese like him too much, or if the tsar thinks his diplomatic skills are very skillful. He was able to exert more capabilities in China, so he has remained in office to this day. Guo Songtao's reply was very clever. "This is just the actions of the ministries themselves, we have no actual jurisdiction over these tribes, so this is their own actions, as for Lord Zuo Zongtang, he is just driving back the lost cavalry of your country in China. I don't mean to go to war with Russia, and I'm just staying in the country. ”

Zhu Greev didn't want to talk nonsense with this envoy who had traveled to the West and served as envoys to Britain and France, and who played Tai Chi very skillfully, and continued to talk nonsense, "I ask to see Prince Gong." ”

"Prince Gong is very busy today. There may not be time to summon your envoy. Guo Songtao said with a smile.

"China and Russia are one of the countries with the longest borders, and the relationship between the two countries is very important, and I think it is impossible for Prince Gong, as the minister in charge of China's foreign affairs, not to recognize the urgency of the relationship between the two countries." The implication of his remarks is that nothing is more important now than the matter of handling relations with Russia.

"That's right, but Prince Gong is still the prime minister, and he has to deal with all kinds of government affairs, and he has a lot of opportunities to deal with all kinds of government affairs, and he is very busy, in addition to he has to issue orders to restrain the ministries from crossing the border, and help the lord of Kokand to restore the country, he also has to deal with big and small things, of course, Mr. Ambassador, you said that the request to see Prince Gong is very reasonable, but at this time, not only Prince Gong, but the entire cabinet and military aircraft department are very busy, because there is a little turmoil on the Kulen side, speaking of which, It still has something to do with your country. ”

"Cullen?" Zhugrev repeated it, and it has something to do with Russia, although Kulen is not the capital of Uriya Sutai, but it is located in the north of the desert, close to Russia, with convenient transportation, the export of Russia's Siberian belt has to enter Kulen, the development of Sino-Russian trade, making Kulen the most prosperous place outside the mouth, Russia has always coveted this place, the governor of Siberia has always wanted to bring this land under his rule, but now the Moscow to Siberian railway that is ready to be put on the agenda has just been put on the agenda, No military unit can quickly reach the Siberian zone, so it has to be let go first, but infiltration and intelligence spying are naturally indispensable.

In the end, it is still inferior to the Chinese, Zhu Lev suddenly thought of China's efficiency, the official road from Zhangjiakou to Kulen, which was repaired in more than a year, and the railways developed everywhere, these things, in Russia, just to collect taxes, have to quarrel for several days.

As long as the emperor and the central center pay attention, there is nothing that cannot be done, this is Zhu Lev's perception in China, but he faintly felt that something was wrong at this time, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Please tell me clearly, what does it mean to have something to do with Russia?" ”

"That's right, because the news of the attack on the Cossack cavalry of the Turghut Khan to avenge the ancestors has spread all over Mongolia, and the leaders of the various tribes of Uriya Sutai have also spontaneously formed an alliance in Kulen to support the Tumudr Khan of the Turghut tribe," Guo Songtao said with a smile, and what came out of his mouth was the huge and shocking bad news that Zhu Grev could not accept, "A few days ago, I had crossed the Zeltule River and headed north," Guo Songtao looked at himself happily Every time he said a word, Zhu Greev's face turned white, " Prince Gong has been furious these days, and he is worried about this matter, so naturally he has no time to meet with you, the ambassador. ”

"You!" Zhugrev's face turned white and red, red and white, very good-looking, "How can your country be so shameless!" ”

"Mr. Ambassador, you know, we have never interfered in the internal affairs of our vassals." (To be continued.) )
