Once the war expands, this will not only disrupt the original plan of the Ming Dynasty, but will also bring about many uncertainties.

Although Zhu Yicheng was angry with Russia's actions, he could not act irritably as an emperor. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty and Russia are diplomatic states at the moment, so Zhu Yicheng must first understand why Russia risked offending the Ming Dynasty to send troops? Or what is the real purpose of Russia's troops? Can this matter be resolved through diplomatic channels?

In response, Zhu Yicheng asked the Public Affairs Office to find out the cause as soon as possible, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came forward to meet with the Russian minister in the capital to question it.

These matters were arranged immediately, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs met with Russian Minister Paul that afternoon.

The Earl Paul of the Russian Company in the Ming Dynasty was Peter's brother-in-law. He did not return after he came to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy. Later, he was directly appointed as the Russian ambassador to the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving the news that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty met him, Paul did not delay and went to see Wang Jingqi directly. Facing the reprimanding question raised by Wang Jingqi, Paul seemed to have no idea about the news and looked extremely surprised.

Wang Jingqi did not talk much about this and told him bluntly that Russia's troops had completely destroyed the normal diplomatic relations between the Ming Dynasty and Russia. The Ming Dynasty asked the Russian government to explain this and withdraw its troops from the Ming territory as soon as possible. In addition, the losses caused by Russia's troops were completely compensated by the Russian side.

Earl Paul did not give a definite reply, but only assured Wang Jingqi that he would immediately investigate the matter and inform the Ming Dynasty of the investigation results.

In the following days, the Ming Dynasty officials kept forcing and questioning Russia's investigation results, and the Public Affairs Office and other intelligence agencies were also investigating the real reason why Russia sent troops.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty's Foreign Ministry was also in contact with ministers from other countries, trying to understand Russia's actions through other Western countries.

But no one expected that just a few days later, the Russian minister Earl Paul took the initiative to visit Wang Jingqi and gave the investigation results.

According to Paul, Russia has never sent troops to intervene in the internal war between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, so the situation of Russia sending troops to the Ming Dynasty does not exist at all.

As for the so-called Russian military statement that Ming Dynasty sent troops, it was not tenable in the investigation. First, the Russian soldiers mentioned by the Ming Dynasty did not carry any marks and proofs about the Russian military, and second, Russia also made a clear reply. As a diplomatic friend of the Ming Dynasty, Russia would definitely not be able to do such a thing. I am afraid this is a misunderstanding.

At that time, Wang Jingqi asked the other party, if Russia had not sent troops, then who would fight in joint operations with the Qing army in the Western Regions? Who could have so many firearms and equipment and combat capabilities?

Paul also explained that according to what Paul said, these people are definitely not Russian soldiers, but they may be some Kazakhs wandering in the border areas. The so-called Kazakhs are a group composed of various ethnic groups originally living in Central Asia. The structure is very complex. These people look like Russians, but they are definitely not Russian nations.

Just like the Ming and Manchu Qing dynasties, the Ming and Manchus were both yellow people, but they were not the same nation, and they were also the greatest enemy of life and death.

These Kazakhs are also enemies of Russia. Russia has struggled to eliminate Kazakhs, but it is impossible to completely eliminate this nation.

The battle between Russia and Kazakhstan has lasted for hundreds of years and has been helpless against each other. During this constant war, Kazakhstan learned firearm tactics from Russia, including firearm manufacturing, as well as it is natural.

Now that the Qing Dynasty occupied the Western Regions, the birthplace of Kazakhstan is in the Western Regions, it is very likely that these people are Kazakhstan.

If this is the case, the Russian side even hopes that the Ming Dynasty can completely eliminate these Kazakhs through war with the Qing Dynasty, which will be of great benefit to Russia's domestic stability. If this goal can be achieved, Paul said that this is a good thing that makes the whole of Russia cheer and thanks.

Even if Wang Jingqi thought he was too thick-skinned, he never thought that the Russians would explain this way, and this explanation seemed to make sense.

What a fatal thing, in the war in the Hexi Corridor, the Russians did not have any proof from the Russian military, and even their dresses were all the Qing army's outfits. Paul's explanation seems to be fine in this regard.

As for the language of those people, Paul also explained that he said that the Kazakhs were originally living on the borders of the two countries, and it was normal for them to speak Russian language. It was impossible for those who could speak Russian. This was the brother-in-law of Tsar Peter, who could use his personality to guarantee that Russia would never send troops to assist the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in fighting, and would not have caused the rupture of the relationship between Russia and the Ming Dynasty because of barbarians like the Qing Dynasty.

Paul's words made Wang Jingqi not know how to deal with it for a while, so he had no choice but to report the matter to Zhu Yicheng for the time being.

But shortly after Wang Jingqi reported it, something happened in Myanmar, which had stabilized, and a rebellion suddenly occurred in southern Myanmar. Although the name was because the remnants of the Touyu Dynasty and the Meng tribe of Myanmar were dissatisfied with Gao Jin's occupation of Myanmar and the Ming Dynasty, which led to rebellion, according to the news sent back, this rebellion was not as simple as the surface, and there seemed to be a shadow of Western countries behind it.

At the same time when the news of chaos in Myanmar was sent to the Ming Dynasty, Xinming, who was far away on the other end of the Pacific, also sent it back. The Governor of Xinming Wang Dong to Zhu Yicheng in an urgent manner, informing Zhu Yicheng that the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Spain seemed to be preparing for military operations against the Ming Dynasty in Xinming.

Previously, the French Kingdom had already begun a trade blockade on the Ming Dynasty in the New Ming Dynasty. In order to break through the trade blockade, Wang Dong took the means to win over the Spanish colonial government, and sent ships to South America to trade with Portugal's colonies in South America to weaken the impact of the trade blockade on the construction of the New Ming Dynasty.

But now the situation has just opened up and the situation has changed. Spain, which had private transactions with the Ming Dynasty a few days ago, suddenly interrupted the transaction and stood on the side of France. Even Portugal and the Netherlands in South America also interrupted the transactions of the Ming Dynasty. As previous ally Britain, the attitude was ambiguous, and Wang Dong could not understand the other party's position for the time being.
