Chapter 1301 of the Jin-Russian Border Treaty
After the Russians were asked to leave by the guards, Fang Yuxuan entered the tent and sat down, and Sun Kewang turned his head to explain to Wu Sangui: "Seng Ge Taiji just said that the envoy sent by the Rakshasa rival Poles has arrived at the camp. ”
Wu Sangui frowned slightly, not happy because of this news, but silent for a while.
Sun Kewang was very happy about this, and asked the monk again: "What's going on with this Poland?" Why did they have a feud with the Rakshasas? ”
Although he has been running the Western Regions for a long time, Sun Kewang doesn't know much about the countries of Eastern Europe and their relationships.
When it comes to Poland, the monk is still very familiar, and he even understands the relationship between some countries in Europa, but he mainly listens to the Mongols of the Turk tribe on the Volga River, and he knows that some of them are mostly rural talks, and they cannot all be taken seriously.
The monk immediately replied: "Lord, when this Poland was strong, it had attacked the Rakshasa several times, and after the rise of the Rakshasa people in recent years, they began to counterattack Poland, and the two countries have been fighting for hegemony for many years. The last time they fought was two years ago over Ukraine, and the hatred between the two sides has long been unresolved. ”
Hearing this, Sun Kewang pondered for a moment, "So, that Poland has the ability to fight the Rakshasas?" ”
If there is a country that can fight the Rakshasas head-to-head and unite with the Jin State, Sun Kewang is still very interested.
After all, long-distance friendship and close attack are the most commonly used diplomatic means between countries.
"In recent years, Poland has had poor national fortunes, internal corruption and Cossack uprisings, strong enemies outside, and a weakened national strength, so it is no longer the opponent of the Rakshasas, but now the Rakshasas have lost 30,000 troops, and Poland may be able to compare with Russia." The monk thought for a moment and said, "And the envoy said that Sweden, another powerful country, is also interested in dealing with the Rakshasas, and Poland should already have the advantage. ”
This made Sun Kewang even more interested, and he heard that Xiyi, who traded with the Ming Dynasty, had a lot of silver.
This Rakshasa is also considered Xiyi, but I don't see where it is rich, I don't know what about Poland, if they are rich, can they unite them to solve the Rakshasa and extend the trade route to Poland.
Sun Kewang moved, leaned forward a little, and asked, "What did the Polish envoy say?" ”
"The Poles hope to form an alliance with Daikin and flank the Rakshasas, and after defeating the Rakshasas, the two sides will divide the Rakshasas equally with the Volga River as the boundary."
The Poles originally thought that the remnants of the Golden Horde had defeated Tsarist Russia, and wanted to continue to form an alliance with the Golden Horde to attack Tsarist Russia so that they could recapture Ukraine and even control Tsarist Russia, but when they arrived, they learned that it was the great powers from the East that defeated Russia.
The emissary sent by Poland, a nephew of the Grand Duke of Lithuania and a Polish nobleman, understood very well what Poland needed.
In fact, in the era of the rise of the West, after the Westerners became strong, they had begun to despise other nations, and for Poland, it didn't matter whether it was the Golden Horde or not, as long as it could contain Russia.
Therefore, when the envoy learned that it was the Jin State, he immediately stopped mentioning the Golden Horde and instead asked for an alliance with the Jin State.
Poland just hoped to use the Golden Horde or the Golden State to contain Tsarist Russia, to put it bluntly, they were not really looking for any allies in the East.
Sun Kewang listened, and hurriedly asked the guards to get a Russian map he had captured, and at this time, Wu Sangui on the side finally couldn't help but speak, "King Anxi, the war has been going on for more than four months, and it will not be beneficial for us to continue, and we now occupy the east bank of the Volga River, why do we need Poland to demarcate the border for us?" ”
Although they are all from Dajin Kingdom, and Western Expansion is also Dajin's national policy, but after all, running the Western Regions is Sun Kewang's business, and Wu Sangui's interests are in Hanzhong, so there is no need for him to wade into troubled waters again.
This time, he came from Hanzhong to fight in the Western Regions, and did not preserve his strength as he did in Liaozhen. It can be said that most of the elite have been transferred, and they have come out to help Sun Kewang, which is already taking the overall situation into account.
But because he takes care of the overall situation, he has to work for Sun Kewang all the time.
This time he lost more than 2,000 horses, the loss is not small, but all the way, the Rakshasa people are very poor, not even a decent city, he chased a thousand miles, but what benefits have not been grabbed, not only he is unhappy, his subordinates are ready to make a handful of wishes also failed, has made the soldiers dissatisfied.
Rakshasa is so poor, so what else is there to fight?
Besides, Hanzhong is his territory, he has been out for more than four months, and it is time to return to Hanzhong.
Moreover, if the Ming Dynasty finds out that something is wrong, and sees that the eastern front of the Jin Kingdom is empty, and attacks Hanzhong, then he will not regret his death.
Wu Sangui was silent for a while, and did not look at Sun Kewang, picked up the teacup and drank it with his head down, and then said in a deep voice: "King Anxi, this king suggests, it is better to accept it when it is good, Dajin's country is in Guanzhong, and this king cannot stay in the Western Regions for a long time." ”
Sun Kewang's face froze, he understood what Wu Sanhang meant, and slowly calmed down.
To be honest, the Jin State did not have many troops in the Western Regions, and as soon as Wu Sangui's people left, it would be impossible for the Jin State to control the east coast of the Volga, and it would definitely have to shrink back.
The place is not as big as possible, first of all, it must be able to effectively control it, and then there must be interests, and it is difficult for the Jin country to effectively control this now, so Poland said that it is meaningless to divide the rakshasa equally.
Thinking of this, Sun Kewang waved his hand and did not let the guards get the map, but the entire tent was silent for a while because of Wu Sangui's words.
Seeing this, the monk hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Lord, the relationship between the countries of Europa is complicated, and Austria and Rumi may not be willing to see Poland strong and break the balance of Europa, so it is very likely that at a critical moment, rescue Rakshasa ." And we can't fully trust Poland, because last time they said that they would support our Mongol tribes and fight the Rakshasa together, but they were the first to cooperate with the Rakshasa and let us Mongolia face the Rakshasa alone, and finally we were defeated. ”
At the beginning, the monk was instigated by the Poles to raise troops to establish the Golden Horde, and agreed to attack the Rakshasa in Poland, but was betrayed by Poland, which has always haunted him.
Sun Kewang waved his hand, he was a little excited, but at this time he had calmed down, and it was impossible for Jin Guo to continue to fight with the Rakshasas.
This is not because the monk said that Poland was unreliable, or that other countries could be involved in the war, but because it was in the interests of the Jin country to continue to enter the war, and there was no profit to be gained.
Even if Poland assigns the piece of Ukraine that he is fighting for with Russia to the gold country, will the gold country hold on? Obviously, he couldn't hold it, Sun Kewang only had 20,000 troops, and he could only barely suppress Yarkand, and he didn't have the ability to participate in the battle of Xiyi.
The most important thing is that the policy of the Jin State's westward expansion is to want the Western Regions to give blood transfusions to Guanzhong, so that the Jin State has the strength to confront the Ming Dynasty, which is destined to the Jin State will not give Sun Kewang any resources, but will ask the Western Regions to provide materials to Guanzhong, and without the support of the Jin State, it will be difficult for Sun Kewang to continue to expand, and he can only accept it when he sees it as Wu Sangui said, otherwise the Western Regions will keep absorbing resources from Guanzhong, then the cart will be turned upside down and conflict with the national policy of the Jin State.
In fact, if you don't consider the situation on the Eastern Front, without the strong enemy of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Kewang still hopes that Wu Sangui will stay in the Western Regions and help him for a while, but Wu Sangui is actually a feudal lord of the Jin State, or a big warlord, and it is impossible to help him unconditionally for a long time.
After the battle of Henglus City, the coalition army pushed to the east bank of the Volga, there was no oil and water along the way, and the negotiations also reached a deadlock, Wu Sangui saw that there was no benefit, so he put forward a request to return to the Han land, Sun Kewang used the captured 7,000 flintlock pistols to leave Wu Sangui behind.
The Rakshasa people had a hard attitude, and if the 30,000 gold army iron cavalry withdrew, then the negotiation would be even more impossible to reach.
If the state cannot reach a peace agreement, once Wu Sangui returns to Hanzhong, the Jin state will become the weaker side in the western regions, and the Jin state will fall into a quagmire in the west.
Now that Wu Sangui has made it clear that he wants to return to Hanzhong, then this matter can only be done according to the original plan, and the plan of the Jin State cannot be affected because of the appearance of the Poles, but not participating in the war between Poland and Rakshasa does not mean that he will not act and not take advantage of this opportunity.
After all, this is a rare opportunity, and the Rakshasa is indeed a strong enemy on the western front of the Jin Kingdom, Sun Kewang feels that even if he can't fight the Rakshasa directly, he should use this opportunity to weaken the Rakshasa a bit.
Poland wants to use the Jin State to contain the Rakshasas, so the Jin State can actually use Poland to form an alliance with Poland to ensure the security of the Western Front.
Sun Kewang understood Wu Sangui's thoughts, he first motioned for the monk to take a seat, and then smiled at Wu Sangui: "King Shu, rest assured, from the beginning of the war, the most difficult thing is how to end this war. This king will not let Daikin fall into a two-front war situation, but just wants to use the Poles to make the Rakshasas accept our conditions. ”
Sun Kewang's words reflect his extraordinary political wisdom, for the Jin State, it is easy to start this war, it is easy to defeat the Rakshasas, but how to end this war is a big problem.
Russia is a country with a lot of depth, and the winter climate is harsh, and ordinary countries can't consume him at all.
The very important reason why Russia was so stubborn at the beginning and did not negotiate peace with Jin after the defeat was that they felt that Jin had no way to take him, and when the weather was cold, the Jin army would have to withdraw, and what they lost would be able to get it back.
From this point of view, how to end the war is indeed a big question, a very wise question.
Wu Sangui listened to Sun Kewang's words, and couldn't help but nodded, "It's good that King Anxi can understand, Rakshasa is also a big country, after the battle, this king found that they are not weak, the war continues, I don't know when it will be over, in case the war on the eastern front is together, then my Dajin will be the enemy on his back, so, hurry up and end this war!" ”
