Chapter 890 Treaty of Fort Mingwy

"The Ming Empire is so far away, and they all come here to take revenge. It's really a vengeance!"

"Then Alexei probably hates his father to death for leaving him such a big trouble, haha!"

"I don't know if the army of the Ming Empire is strong or not, and whether it can defeat Alexei. If it can be defeated, that would be the best!"

"I don't know if the army of the Ming Empire is powerful or not, but do you know? My family has porcelain and silk from the Ming Empire. Tsk tsk, that's really amazing!"

"When you said that, I also remembered that Portugal specializes in business with the Ming Empire, and they sell the most Eastern goods!"

"..."

These people were still chatting about Tsarist Russia-related things at first, but after chatting, they went to other places.Karl X couldn't listen anymore. Although he was also curious about the Ming Empire in the distance, this is not the point now.

Therefore, he had to cough loudly, interrupting the discussion of the congressmen, and then asked Alexander aloud: "Since you are sure that the main force of the Tsarist Russian army has marched eastward, why don't you secretly eat the fat yourself, but come and tell us? "

When Alexander heard this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, because he was afraid that after Poland sent troops, you would come to attack Poland again!

But on the surface, he smiled and said: "It's a piece of fat, yes, but our appetite is too small and we can't eat that much. Instead of wasting it, why don't we two join together and maybe we can eat more?" no!"

Hearing this, Karl X couldn't help laughing.He just needs a feat to prove that he has the ability to get the throne of King of Sweden.If he could defeat Tsarist Russia, it would be a far better proof of his ability than defeating Poland.

As soon as he ascended the throne, he was sent such a large number of gifts. To be honest, he was in a very good mood.Therefore, he smiled and said: "If the news you said is true, I don't mind eating a few pieces of fat!"

"This news is absolutely true, otherwise, why would I come here in person to explain it!" Alexander said decisively, "My king said that Moscow can be given to them. The most important thing for us is to deal with the traitors who rebelled against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. And what about those Tsarist Russian towns adjacent to our land?”

This is to carve up Tsarist Russia and decide on the pace of eating fat.It can be said that Poland is very sincere and does not compete with Sweden for some famous fat meat. Therefore, Karl X is in a better mood, but on the surface he said: "You guys really made a good calculation. , let alone eat in Moscow and other places, if Alexei comes back after winning the war, he will definitely have to fight with Sweden first, can you just sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers?"

Unexpectedly, the newly appointed King of Sweden was indeed not an incompetent person and actually saw this.Alexander was secretly surprised in his heart, but on the surface, he laughed and said: "What are you talking about? Since our two families have formed an alliance, we will definitely not let you Swedish family face Alexei alone. If you kill a snake, you will be killed. It’s harmful. We still know this truth.”

Karl X was still very satisfied with his answer.So, after the two discussed the details, the Swedish side began to prepare for war.Of course, sending out sentries in advance to spy on Tsarist Russia is indeed as Alexander said, that is also a certainty.

And this thing is of course true.

As a result, Sweden and Poland took action.They each led their armies and entered Tsarist Russia from two directions.

Polish hussars once again galloped across the land of Tsarist Russia.The Swedish phalanx, on the other hand, pushed all Tsarist Russian troops across the board.All of a sudden, the land to the west of Tsarist Russia was full of flames of war.Because of the serious shortage of troops, it is simply unable to withstand the attacks of the two countries.While losing the city and land, they could only send fast horses to report to Tsar Alexei on the expedition to the east.

........................

Time soon entered November, and the weather became even colder on this side of the Volga River.The cold weather is not a good thing for civil engineering operations. It will require more manpower and material resources to continue construction.

However, fortunately, Alexei was decisive enough to change his mind. On this day, the construction of the new fort on the other side of the Samara Fort was finally completed.

The newly built fort is much larger than the original Samara Fort.Because this newly built fortress not only prevents the Ming army from attacking through the shoals, but also prepares the Volga River to freeze after the cold winter, so that the Ming army can cross the river on a large scale from other places.Therefore, the fortress must not only be large, but also defend against attacks from all directions by the Ming army.

Thanks to Alexei leading the army there, the fortress was barely completed with the efforts of the whole army.

After the construction was completed, he was already very anxious.Because this is far from his planned strategic goal of a quick battle, he is very worried about his lair.Because he knew in his heart that with the methods he arranged in the west, it was impossible to deceive others for a long time.

So, he began to dispatch troops and generals, preparing to leave [-] soldiers and horses to garrison the new castle, and then immediately returned to the division and rushed back to Moscow.

However, before he announced this decision, Kuaiqi from Moscow arrived.

Hearing that Poland had begun to invade the territory of Tsarist Russia, the news did not meet Alexei's expectations. Therefore, while cursing, he hurriedly arranged troops to garrison and defend the Ming army, and then hurried back.

However, before he could lead his troops to retreat, the second wave of messengers arrived.This time, the messenger reported that Sweden, under the leadership of their new king, was also launching a large-scale attack on Tsarist Russia.Moreover, the situation was overwhelming, and the cities were lost one after another. The Patriarch who stayed in Moscow urgently urged him to lead his troops back for rescue as soon as possible. If it was too late, Moscow might not be able to save it.

Upon hearing the news, Alexei was immediately stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.Because the Polish attack was still within his expectation.However, the King of Sweden personally led the army to attack Tsarist Russia, which was beyond his expectation.

Facing the joint attack of the two countries, Alexei knew how much pressure the west would have.Therefore, he could not stay for a moment, and could not wait to fly to Moscow at once.

However, it is almost 2000 miles away from him back to Moscow. Even if he leads the troops back now, it will definitely be difficult to save Moscow.

Another important thing is that he lost [-] troops of Cossacks and other servant tribes, and he had to leave enough troops to garrison here to guard against the Ming army. He no longer had enough troops to send the troops of Sweden and Poland rushed back.

Faced with today's situation, what should we do?
This is another major problem that faces Alexey.His choice is likely to determine the fate of Tsarist Russia, and it is an unprecedented fate of national subjugation.

Fortunately, Alexei was not an incompetent person. Faced with the helplessness of those under him, he still came up with a way.

So, one of Alexei's envoys crossed the river with a white flag and reached the other side of the Volga River, where he asked to see the Governor of Mingwei.

After meeting Hong Chengchou, Alexei's envoy expressed his wish not to be an enemy of Daming, and hoped that the two countries could cease military relations and make good relations, so that the people would no longer suffer from military disasters or anything.

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he immediately understood that something had happened to the west of Tsarist Russia, as he had expected.

That being the case, how could Hong Chengchou do what Alexei wished, of course he wouldn't just let it go.

Therefore, Alexei's messenger had no choice but to go back and forth across the Volga River, constantly asking for Alexei's wishes and then exploring the bottom line of the Ming commander.

To be honest, Hong Chengchou was in no hurry.He understands that he is definitely a tsar in a hurry.Years of experience in the officialdom, if you can't reap enough benefits, then such a good situation is really in vain.

Therefore, after Alexei put on a deadly attitude and did not intimidate the Ming army, he finally compromised.

Alexei had no choice but to agree to Hong Chengchou's request, which was that the Tsarist Russian army must retreat, hand over the newly built fortress to the Ming army, and cede a large piece of surrounding land.

Therefore, in the history of Tsarist Russia, it was called the Treaty of Fort Samara, while on the Ming side, it was called the Treaty of Fort Mingwei, and it was finally signed around mid-October.

Of course, Hong Chengchou made it clear that this treaty had to be sent to the east, and only with the emperor's consent would it be truly effective.Alexei had no objection to this.

Because what Alexei wanted was to stabilize the Ming army and not allow the Ming army to kill him in the east when he retreated to defend Moscow. That would be too much for him to bear.

As for the future, even if the Ming army agrees, if he calms down, it is very possible to tear up the treaty.

For Hong Chengchou, not only could he obtain a large fortress opposite without any effort, he could also obtain a large piece of land as a buffer.This greatly exceeded Emperor Chongzhen's instructions and was also his great achievement.

There is also another one. If you do this, the Ming army can still sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and let the Tsarist Russian army fight with its neighboring countries.The Ming army could further consolidate its rule in the Volga River Basin.

As for whether the Mingwei Fort Treaty would be torn up, Hong Chengchou didn't care at all.

As a result, the Tsarist Russian army retreated slowly and handed over the Xinxiu Fortress to the Ming army.The Ming army did not pursue it either. After accepting the territory in the treaty, they sent the Tsarist Russian army back to the west.

Regarding the outcome of such a war, it can be said that it greatly exceeded the expectations of the great Khan of the Torghut Department, Penchuk, and the leader of the Don Cossacks, Racine.In their eyes, the extremely powerful Tsarist Russia, when facing the Ming army, actually signed a humiliating treaty of land cession and indemnity, which really surprised them.

At the same time, they realized that they really had to embrace the right thigh!
