Chapter 49: Peter the Great's Compromise

Yang Meng calmly didn't know, but his opponent, the evil Tsar Peter I, has been a little annoyed recently. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There were wars on the Volga, in the Baltic, and in Siberia, and in these three places, the Qing, the Dzungars, and the Swedes were at war with the Bad Countrymen.

Coupled with the confrontation with the Ottoman Empire, this makes the evil people suffer from enemies on all sides, and if they are not careful, they will definitely lose everything!

The Volga army was overwhelmingly superior in numbers, and Peter the Great was not too worried. He feared the Dzungars who crossed the Ural Mountains into Siberia, the Swedes in the Baltics, and the Ottomans in the Black Sea.

The Dzungars suddenly invaded the vast expanse of Siberia, invincible all the way, having already captured most of Siberia, and even the castle could not stop a strange kind of Dzungar artillery.

But Peter the Great now has the feeling that the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, although Siberia is vast, but it is also difficult to defend here, Peter the Great decided to ignore the Dzungars for the time being, the bad weather in Siberia will soon become the enemy of the Dzungars, once these Dzungars can not adapt, resulting in non-combat attrition, when the evil country frees up its hands, and then clean up these Dzungars, it may be much easier.

The Baltic campaign was crucial, and the bad country had to have an important outlet to the sea to ensure future trade and expansion by sea.

But the Swedes fought bravely and skillfully, repelling the attacks of the evil army again and again, and their king Charles XII was present on the battlefield, which greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the Swedish army.

Now the two sides are facing off at a place called Poltava, where the Swedes are attacking with all their might, trying to crush the evil army in one fell swoop, and then directly threaten Petersburg.

The Northern War is becoming more and more unfavorable to the bad country.

The Ottoman army in the Black Sea also suddenly increased its troops, and the Turgots army of the bad country suddenly turned forward and threw themselves into the Ottomans, and the situation of the army of the bad country was also very dangerous.

How to face the intricacies of the situation, Peter the Great, although he was wise, was also a little overwhelmed.

Summoning his ministers, Peter the Great told the situation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, because of the intervention of the Qing people, our situation is not very good now, the Volga, Siberia, the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, everyone will talk about it, how to solve it."

Field Marshal Menshikov said: "Your Majesty the Tsar, for the sake of the present day, we should negotiate peace with the Qing and Dzungar people, we are not mortal enemies with them, as long as we send favorable terms, we will definitely be able to reach peace." As for the Swedes and the Ottomans, we must not make any concessions, otherwise, the future of the empire is worrying, so the minister suggested that we immediately send people to negotiate peace with the Qing State and the Dzungar Khanate, and once the peace agreement is reached, we will immediately mobilize troops to deal with the Swedes and Ottomans with all our might. ”

Peter the Great nodded, impressed by the advice of his friend and right-hand man.

Empress Catherine also nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks what the marshal said is very true, the object of peace, first the Dzungar people and then the Qing people, the Dzungar people were driven to Siberia by the Qing people, once we are tempted, there is a great possibility of success." It can give the Dzungars a piece of land to establish a state, sandwiched between Siberia and Khalkha Mongolia, and can become a barrier between China and the Qing State in the future. At the same time, in order to ensure that the peace agreement is reached, the land around Nebuchu that was previously occupied can be returned to the Qing country, and then the Ural River is used as the boundary to let the Qing people return. ”

Peter the Great also nodded in agreement with Catherina's statement.

The Dzungars should be the best to deal with, the lost dog, once the bones are given, and then give him a nest, there is a great chance of getting it.

On the side of the Qing Dynasty, Peter the Great knew that concessions had to be made, and the area of Nebuchu that he had occupied before did not mean much to the evil country now, and it was reasonable to return it to the Qing Dynasty.

But the Volga River was resolutely not to be lost, and the river became the mother river by the Evil People, and the Turks could only graze their cattle downstream. Letting the Qing army return to the Ural River basin can also be regarded as an acceptable result, after all, the Ural River basin was not the territory of the evil country before.

"In this way, there are only two wars (Sweden and Ottoman) and two peace (Daqing and Dzungaria), who wants to take the order to negotiate with the Qing people and Dzungaria?" Peter the Great asked.

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, but they didn't say anything.

On the surface, the peace talks seem to be a beautiful difference, but if they can't be done, they will be severely punished by Peter I.

Peter the Great was a little unhappy, when the country was in danger, there were no ministers to share the worries, how could Peter the Great be embarrassed?

Seeing this, Catalina suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to go and share your Majesty's worries!" ”

Peter the Great smiled and said: "I am very happy that the queen is willing to go, but the stakes are very high, and the queen's safety must be guaranteed." Nadal, you personally lead the team and protect the Queen's safety. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Tsar!" Nadal said.

Peter the Great then said angrily: "Since the Swedes insist on going their own way, don't blame me for being ruthless, I have made up my mind, personally lead the army to Poltava, I must take Poltava and annihilate the Swedish army!" ”

"Long live the Tsar! Long live the Tsar! Long live the Tsar! ”

......

Siberia.

The Great Khan of Dzungaria, Gardance, was proudly hugging two women of the evil country on his left and right, indulging in joy.

After crossing the Ural Mountains, the Dzungar army actually conquered a territory larger than the Dzungar Khanate and established a new Dzungar Khanate.

Although the pastures are scarce, Galdantse Zero finally has a foothold.

Just as the dragon and the phoenix were turning upside down, the soldiers came to report: "The Great Khan, the queen of the evil country is here, and she wants to make peace with the Great Khan!" ”

Gardance pushed away the woman of the evil country in his arms, got up and said, "The queen of the evil country? Ben Khan has a lot of face. Come to the big tent! ”

Within the tent, Catherine and Gardanze met at zero.

"Respected Great Khan, Catherine came to negotiate peace on the orders of His Majesty the Tsar, the Dzungar Khanate and the Evil State were not neighbors in the first place, such an unpleasant thing should not happen, I also know that your original country was occupied by the Qing State, His Majesty the Tsar was merciful and decided to give you a chance to restore the country in Siberia, what does the Great Khan think of this suggestion?" Ekaterina said.

Galdan Tse said: "Now that my Dzungar army has occupied most of Siberia, this place is ours, why do you need to be merciful?" The peace talks were dismissed, and Ben Khan believed that all the bad people should withdraw from Siberia and return to Europe. ”

Catherine snorted coldly and said, "Is the Great Khan really so confident? You know, you only have tens of thousands of troops, and our evil country has nearly a million, once the war starts, what will be the result, do you still need me to say? There is a famous saying in your East: Forgive and forgive, the Great Khan will not fail to understand the meaning of this sentence, right? ”

Gardanze was bluffed by Caterina.

It is true that the Dzungar army is only 6~70,000 now, and Siberia, which has just been occupied, is sparsely populated, and there are very few people who have been added to the army.

The territory of the evil country is large, and the number of troops far exceeds the Dzungar army, and if there is really a war, it is indeed difficult for Dzungaria to parry.

Gardanze's lack of understanding of the current situation of the Bad Country also caused him to believe Ekaterina's words.

"Haha, Your Excellency the Empress, don't take it seriously, my Dzungar Khanate and the Evil State should indeed coexist peacefully, so let's do it, this Khan cede the west, central and eastern parts of Siberia as the territory of the Dzungar Khanate, so, does Your Excellency the Empress think it is acceptable?" Gardanzer said.

Catherine smiled and said: "The Great Khan is wise, this is very good, let's sign an official document, and the evil country and the Dzungar Khanate will be divided and ruled by the Yenisei River." At the same time, our two countries should establish friendly relations, become fraternal countries, and help each other. In view of the fact that Dzungaria has just been restored, our evil country donated 100,000 taels of silver to Dzungaria, I don't know what the Great Khan wants? ”

Hearing this, Galdan Tse was overjoyed and said: "Your Excellency, Ben Khan has no objection to this, thank you for your kindness, as a reward, we will send 100 horses, and ask Your Excellency Empress to convey Ben Khan's greetings to His Majesty the Tsar!" ”

Ekaterina laughed and said: "The meaning of the Great Khan, I will definitely bring it!" ”
