Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 362: The same lineage

When Petroyev heard this, he couldn't help but look thoughtful. After a moment, he raised his eyebrows and said.

"What Mr. Fan said makes sense!"

"But if that's the case, then why don't we simply choose to side with the Ming Empire in exchange for the Ming Empire's recognition of our occupation of Mobei?"

"Perhaps, if we cooperate with the Ming Empire, we can not only get Mobei, but also Monan, and even the outer Xing'an Mountains and the Western Regions..."

"Anyway, as a farming country, the Ming Empire only cares about the traditional Han land within the Great Wall that can be used for farming, rather than the bitter cold land outside the Great Wall, doesn't it?"

When he said this, Petroyev's eyes flashed with greed.

His mind was now completely opened up!

How greedy Tsarist Russia was for land was clearly revealed in him!

Fan Boyong on the side was speechless for a while when he heard this, but he still spoke.

"Your Majesty the General is wise!"

Of course, Bores is just here for an inspection, and he will definitely not stay in Cullen for a long time. Once the situation in Cullen returns to stability, he will lead his troops back to Omsk to continue to take charge of the overall situation.

He lowered his head, obviously thinking about something.

Soon, Petroyev brought Van Boyon to Governor Bores.

The importance cannot be compared with that of a newly captured Cullen City.

"After meeting me, the envoy of his mission made a request to me to lend troops to quell the rebellion."

While speaking, Petroyev repeated Van Boyon's suggestion just now.

Thank God for the wine!

"If we choose to side with the Qing Empire now, it will be tantamount to choosing to side with the losers."

Petroyev heard this and spoke.

After all, Omsk is now the real core of Tsarist Russia in the Far East.

When Bores asked this question, he was drinking and praying with a cross in his hand.

"General Petroyev, why do you have time to see me today?"

After a moment, Bores looked up at Petroyev and then spoke.

Since the Tsarist Russian army captured Kulun, its Siberian governor Bores also led people from Omsk to the front line to inspect Kulun, preparing to personally come forward to maintain the stability of the situation in Kulun.

"I wonder what the Governor thinks of this matter?"

"Just today, the Cossack patrol outside Kulun City encountered a mission sent by the Qing Empire. After a brief inquiry, they brought the mission to see me."

"I ordered you to prepare some gifts. I am going to visit the Governor!"

"Reporting to the Governor, this is what happened."

Petroyev nodded proudly, and then gave instructions to an attendant beside him.

Upon hearing this, Bores couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

"As of now, the war between the Ming Empire and the Qing Empire has reached a fever pitch. To put it bluntly, the Ming Empire will probably win the final victory in a short time."

Governor Bores's attitude was very clear. He preferred to side with the Ming Dynasty rather than side with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After taking a deep breath and thinking for a moment, Bores looked at Fan Boyon aside and said.

"Mr. Fan, we need an envoy who is proficient in Chinese and familiar with Chinese affairs to represent our Tsarist Russian Empire and negotiate with the Ming Empire."

"At the expense of our siding with the Ming Empire in the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, we exchanged the Ming Empire's recognition of our occupation of Mobei, Monan, the Greater Khingan Range, Central Asia, and the Western Regions."

"I wonder if Mr. Fan can do it for me?"

Porres's greed was on par with Petroyev's. Bores now needs someone to negotiate with Daming, and in his opinion, Fan Boyong, who was born in China, is the best choice.

But who would have thought that when Fan Boyong heard this, his expression changed and he waved his hand quickly.

"Master Governor, no, absolutely no!"

Boles couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.

"Mr. Fan, what do you mean? Aren't you willing to make some contributions to the great Tsar?"

Petroyev on the side also looked over questioningly, with a faint glimmer of evil in his eyes.

When Fan Boyong heard this, he couldn't help but was speechless for a while. Although he looked embarrassed, he finally spoke.

"The Governor and the General don't know that there has always been a grudge between our Fan family and the Ming Dynasty."

"The reason why my Fan family made a fortune and became an imperial merchant of the Qing Dynasty was because we betrayed the Ming Dynasty and smuggled materials and information to the Qing Dynasty, which was still in Liaodong at that time."

"It can be said that the reason why the Ming Dynasty collapsed was inseparable from my Fan family."

"My Fan family is still on the wanted list in Ming Dynasty."

"If the Governor sends me as an envoy to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating."

Bores and Petroyev looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Good guy, no wonder Fan Boyong betrayed the Qing Dynasty and joined Tsarist Russia so smoothly.

It turns out that the Fan family has a long history of betraying their country and seeking glory!

When Boles heard this, he could only twitch the corners of his mouth, and then spoke.

"If that's the case, then send someone else there."

Petroyev on the side heard this and asked.

"My Lord Governor, if this is the case, how should we deal with the Qing Dynasty's envoy?"

Upon hearing this, Bores stroked his beard on his chin and spoke.

"Let's entertain them well first, as long as they can't leave Cullen."

"We have not yet been able to reach a consensus with the Ming Dynasty. If we deal with the Qing Dynasty mission now, it would be too hasty and inappropriate."

Hearing this, Petroyev nodded in approval.

……

On the outskirts of the capital, Bali Bridge.

It was dawn, and the golden sunlight pierced the clouds and splashed onto the earth.

A new day began, and the Ming army once again launched a general attack on the Qing army.

Boom! Boom!

The roar of heavy artillery resounded through the sky. After destroying the Qing army's artillery array, the Ming army's artillery array began to move forward.

In order to cause covering fire on the Qing army on the other side of the river!

boom! Boom boom boom!

The sound of heavy artillery firing was loud, and each cannon was ejected from the chamber, drawing beautiful arcs in the sky and shooting towards the Qing army's position on the other side of the river.

The shells continued to fall to the ground, blooming into clusters of flowers composed of fire and gunpowder smoke.

The smell of gunpowder smoke filling the air is getting heavier and heavier!

The defenders of the Qing army were completely suppressed in the trench fortifications. Under the shelling of the Ming army, they could not raise their heads at all.

In the Qing army's artillery positions built up by layers of sandbags, the few remaining artillery pieces of the Qing army fired feebly, but the bombardment effect was better than nothing.

For the Ming army, the threat is really limited!
