Although the Russians repeatedly stated that they had all the latest inside information about the peace talks of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, and although the Russians could not go to the negotiating table to go barely, they not only stood up to the negotiating table to cheer and cheer up their allies, but also promptly passed the latest and "very valuable" news to the "Qing delegation" through "absolutely reliable" channels to strengthen the fighting spirit of their allies.

If you say this is definitely enough to know yourself and your enemy. However, the actual negotiation process is not disappointing, and it is not satisfactory, and Zaiyuan even feels increasingly confused.

It was nearly half a month since he was dry and his mouth was dry. Not only did he not see any sign of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would relax the negotiation conditions at all, but he clearly felt that the tone of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom representatives was getting tougher and stronger, as if there was a momentum that I would not continue if you didn't agree. This was the so-called information they had mastered in advance through the Russian friends. It was a monkey eating tricks and full of twists.

As a result, the negotiations had to fall into a deadlock again.

How is this good? Every day, messengers were sent back almost like a revolving lantern to inform the capital of the latest negotiation trends. Not only that, he also combined the information he received from his Russian friends, and had already weaved a nearly perfect beautiful vision for the King of Political Affairs who was busy with the stability and unity of the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, this embarrassing situation suddenly occurred, Zaiyuan was worried that he could not eat well and sleep well for several consecutive days.

Just when Zaiyuan couldn't think of how to reverse the passive situation in front of him, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was finally understanding. However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government did not want to change the negotiation conditions, but just squeezed out a proposal from their teeth. In Zeng Guofan's words, "It's better to have a five-day break, and everyone relaxed their tense nerves. The key is to calm down and carefully consider the interests."

Speaking of relaxation, it was just a nice word. Zaiyuan knew in his heart that the other party actually knew that he could not make any last-minute decisions, but gave him some time and asked him to quickly ask his main letter.

At this point, Zaiyuan felt that simply counting on the Russians' dreams was not very reliable. He concealed everyone in the delegation and sent envoys to the capital in a hurry. Of course, he did not hope that Yi Xin, who was the king of politics, would surrender to his opponent at such a critical moment, but told Yi Xin in advance that the negotiations might not have any results in the end, and it was best to prepare for the response.

This was his obligation for Zaiyuan. However, when he was turning around at night, he really imagined what he would look like if he went to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Like Kong Zhaoci? Or Sai Shanga? Or Zuo Zongtang or Zeng Guofan? It was really difficult for him to convince himself. For nothing else, he always wondered, if the battlefield advantage was lost and the Qing Dynasty became bigger, what would he do to those rebels? What's more, Manchus could not rely on the word "rebellion", but as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom said, it was the most despicable, shameless, and inhumane means to occupy other people's homes. When he thought of this, he was discouraged. Yes, he was afraid of thinking about everything. If he didn't talk about others, he would really have a thief who entered his home. Can he live in peace with the thief?

After the five-day recess, Du Han and others had a rare leisure time. They actually had the leisure time to go to the shore of Daming Lake to recite poems and sing essays and express their passion. Even Senggelinqin, who had been in the heat during the negotiation last time, had been ill since then, although Yangyang Rand appeared in the negotiation hall again, he actually regained his vitality after reading the book. He pulled several people to Mount Tai together with Sai Shanga, Zeng Guofan and Kong Zhaoci.

Unfortunately, Zaiyuan didn't feel any relief to him.

Over the past few days, the director of the Northern Camp of the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the legendary King An, came an important dialogue with the American Observatory Team, who had always wanted to experience it in person but had never had such an opportunity.

While sitting with his Russian friends, they told him that an official from the Observatory of the American Kingdom had privately tried to persuade His Royal Highness An, who could determine the final fate of the Taiping Heavenly Government and the Qing government to negotiate with the Qing government, could he accept the peace talks proposed by the Qing Dynasty with the Yellow River? For example, he could ask the Qing Dynasty to publicly admit that it had occupied China's great rivers and mountains, apologize and apologize for it, and then everyone would prosper peacefully to end the domestic war as soon as possible and give the people of the world a peaceful living environment? In short, human survival is the first priority.

Who would have thought that when King An heard this, he pointed at the official of the American Observation Team without hesitation and asked, "Not to mention whether you could choose to surrender to Britain in your war of independence back then. If a war broke out between the north and the south of the United States, can you also find a center line and establish your own country and govern?"

It is said that American officials were stunned at the time and then laughed, "No, why should we fight each other in the north and south? America is united and permanent."

"Freedom, the freedom of the black brothers." The King An smiled coldly, "Where there are slaves, there must be war wherever there is sooner or later. This is an irreversible law."

When the Russian friend who heard this news said this as a joke, he also took out a few wrinkled documents written by the King An, hoping that the Qing Dynasty friends could find out what valuable things were found from it.

Du Han and others in the delegation unfolded the manuscript one by one, but the result was that they didn't need anything, just a poem written on one of the paper attracted the eyes of several people.

"The scenery of the north is frozen thousands of miles away, and snow falls thousands of miles away. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there are only the vastness; the river is rising and falling, and the river is suddenly lost. The mountains are dancing silver snakes, and the wax figures are originally scattered, and they want to compete with the heavens. On a sunny day, they look at the red dress and are particularly charming. The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to compete for their waists. Regardless of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, they lose their literary talent; Tang Zong and Song ancestors were slightly inferior to the charming. A generation of geniuses, Genghis Khan, only knew how to bending their bows and shooting eagles. They all went there, and there were several romantic figures, and they looked at the present day."

"Good word!"

"Quatrical...'The country is so beautiful, attracting countless heroes to compete for their backs" is a masterpiece of eternal song..."

Several Hanlin people in the delegation exclaimed softly.

Du Han was silent for a long time, and suddenly said with a big mouth, full of disdain, "The fate of a man is destined by heaven, and is destined to be a lowly slave. Do you really want to be a master? A bad lyric is actually written so arrogant and unruly, and you simply don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick."

Looking at Du Han who couldn't eat grapes and shouted sour grapes, Zaiyuan shook his head secretly. He didn't really regard the jokes of his Russian friends as a joke. Although he couldn't say that he was proficient in Chinese, he also smelled a domineering spirit that was transcendent from the few words. Whether it was the "joke" in front or the manuscript behind, the King An actually had something in his words. Everyone knew that as long as the people were there, the Han people would be purely lowly slaves. Who didn't know that Genghis Khan was a powerful man back then.

This is not the end. Another embarrassing thing happened, which caused Zaiyuan to catch him off guard. News from the capital said that the Northwest Taiping Army had begun to launch a large-scale suppression of the rioters. Zaiyuan was stunned.
