Chapter 1196 Kingly Dominance (First update, please subscribe)
Just find a scapegoat or two.

Many times, many things are like this. When it is impossible to obtain a perfect ending in a normal way, some options become inevitable options.

After Ignatiev led the army back to Tashkent, he was immediately dismissed from his post, and then this pan-Slavist, a former lieutenant general who had forced the Qing Dynasty to cede 40 square kilometers of land by flickering.

Before embarking on his return journey, he was visited by a major general.

"General, for your personal honor, I think it is necessary for you to take responsibility for your failure!"

"What? What responsibility?"

Ignatiev looked at the fellow in front of him.

"Who are you here on behalf of? It's..."

The next moment, he stopped talking. He suddenly realized that the major general in front of him was a court general. Who did he represent?There is no need to explain.

"General, I, I..."

"General, this is the best choice. After all, someone needs to take responsibility for the death of 3000 soldiers of the Roman Empire. Be brave, Ignatiev!"

After finishing speaking, the major general saluted him and walked out of the room.

be brave...

Ignatiev looked out of the window in despair, and finally fell to the pistol on the table, and said to himself.

"Da Ming, damn the Ming Empire, that bastard from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sacrificed the interests of Rome..."

Ignatiev is not only an officer, he is also a diplomat. In another world, he not only used one mouth to fool the Qing Dynasty into ceding 40 square kilometers of land, but also lured Serbia to war against Turkey , which contributed to the Bulgarians' anti-Turkish rebellion, which directly triggered the Tenth Russo-Turkish War, and finally forced Turkey to sign the "Treaty of San Stefano",
Even if this treaty is a tragedy, because Russia has to tear it up with her own hands.

But he is definitely an excellent diplomat. He knows why he became a "scapegoat" and why he has to die.

Only the dead can't speak, and only the dead can fully bear all the responsibilities.

"damn it……"

Ignatiev cursed again with the pistol in his hand. With a desperate expression, he picked up the gun. Although he was extremely unwilling, he finally pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

With a gunshot and blood splattering, the guy who cut off 40 square kilometers of China with his mouth without firing a single shot died just like that!

Soon an officer came in and put a prepared suicide note on the table.

It's all over!

All the responsibilities are borne by a dead person, the responsibility for the failure, the responsibility for the border conflict, Ignatiev, a lieutenant general in the St. Petersburg who was once famous for his feats in the Far East, just died in disgrace. As for things like honor, of course they all turned into shame at this moment...

His whole life has been associated with China, with glory on the one hand and shame on the other... I have to say that fate is always so dramatic.

What is really dramatic?

It cannot be obtained on the battlefield, and it is even more impossible to obtain it at the negotiating table. The negotiation has been doomed from the very beginning.

……

"It's just a conflict."

In the royal manor in Yunling, Emperor Zhu and Zuo Zongtang were fishing together. It has only been a few years since the 74-year-old Zuo Zongtang has obviously aged a lot, but he still looks energetic good.

The reason why Emperor Zhu came here to accompany Zuo Zongtang today is all because of one reason. In another world, Zuo Zongtang recovered the Western Regions, but now?

With the help of the empire, Shi Dakai not only took back the Western Regions, but also took back Kokand, Bukhara and Turkmen.

"I don't worry about the conflict over there, what I worry about is the future."

Zuo Zongtang looked at the emperor and said.

"Our relationship with Russia is based on the fact that we are bound to divide because of interests. This conflict seems to have been properly handled, and no one has suffered. But in fact, the seeds of hostility have been planted, whether it is the United Kingdom, Regardless of Germany, they will definitely do everything possible to divide us and Russia, once the "Alliance of Four Emperors" is disintegrated, the empire's hegemony is very likely, and it will come to naught!"

What is the so-called "hegemony"?
It is to establish a "kingly land" in South America, and it is to implement benevolent governance so that the people of South America can live and work in peace and contentment.

Well, it can also be understood as aggression and expansion. Of course, it is essentially "liberation", which is to rescue the people of South America from the dire situation of the Caudillo system.

This is the "kingdom and dominance" of the empire.What is kingly way?This is the way of kingship, and the way of kingship is nothing more than implementing benevolent government and saving the people of the world.

Of course, some people are willing to enjoy the benevolent government of the empire, and their reluctance is only temporary.Sometimes some people are like women, who say no, but their bodies are honest, so at this time, they are domineering and assisted, and finally everyone can live happily under the rule of the empire.

In fact, Emperor Zhu also had his little wish, which was not big, that is, to dominate the whole continent of Ming Dynasty, and to turn the Pacific Ocean into China's inner sea by the way.

Life always needs to have a small goal.

So is the emperor.

"Your Majesty, what do we need? In the future, when the empire opens the "royal road", let the Russians, French and Austro-Hungarians be the pioneers of the empire, and use them to contain the power of Britain and Germany, so that we can take it easy defeat the American and British power elsewhere."

What is the Alliance of Four Emperors?
It's a plan to drive away wolves and tigers, but this plan... can it be used forever?Zuo Zongtang was a little worried.

Nodding slightly, Emperor Zhu stared at the lake for a while before speaking.

"You mean we made some concessions on Central Asia."

"concession?"

Zuo Zongtang shook his head.

"That polar bear is too greedy. If it is other countries, appropriate concessions and goodwill can maintain the relationship, but when dealing with that polar bear, concessions will not satisfy their appetite, and will even increase their appetite. ,"

This is the nature of being a polar bear!

But anyone who knows the polar bear knows that it cannot be with him, because the polar bear is too greedy.His appetite will never be satisfied.

But... this does not prevent the polar bear from being used to achieve some goals.

"What the empire needs is to drive it, with the power of this steam roller, to crush other European countries, or to use this polar bear to tear up the old rules of the world. Perhaps in the process, this polar bear will suffer Bruised, will be covered in scars, but when the old world is destroyed..."

Emperor Zhu was silent for a moment, then said.

"A new world will come!"

A new world!
A new world dominated by Ming!

After all, Emperor Zhu looked at the aged Zuo Zongtang and said with a smile.

"Zuo Qing, when the time comes, you and I will witness this new world together! Witness my king's paradise!"

Although the word "Wang Dao Paradise" has been spoiled by people in another world, it does not prevent Emperor Zhu from using it.

After all, this word also comes from China, and it also entrusts the ideals and wishes of the Chinese ancestors. Now it is used to let people all over the world experience the Chinese civilization.

"Your Majesty, if I can live in such a prosperous age, I will die without being shaken..."

One monarch and one minister just chatted with each other, and what they talked about was nothing more than some kind of sustenance to the world.

Of course, it's more of a certain yearning, yearning for the kingly world in the future.

In fact, this is the case with the Chinese people. The Chinese people will never be able to carry out colonial rule as brutally as the Anglo-Saxons, and squeeze the world as much as possible.

Chinese people are civilized in their bones, and they are kings and happy lands, and they are solid in their wishes.
