The envoys of the Tsarist Empire were arrogant and rude, and they tried to make China surrender through intimidation. It was simply a dream.
Zhang Yi knew that it was useless to reason with these barbarians. They did not understand benevolence and justice and only believed in force. It was absolutely impossible to negotiate for peace.
Facing the internal struggle in China, Zhang Yi must be restrained and does not want to kill each other. But towards this barbaric empire, there is only one word in his mind: fight!
There is no use in escaping. Judging from the words of the envoy, they should have made military preparations for the southern invasion. It is useless to say anything now and they can only fight.
Seeing Zhang Yi's resolute attitude, the three envoys were dumbfounded. This situation was completely beyond their expectation.
"You!" Golovin said angrily, "Zhang Yi, don't be arrogant. I advise you to recognize the reality. You are only a few tens of thousands of people guarding an isolated city of Chang'an. When the army arrives, you will kneel down and beg for mercy."
It’s too late!”
"Once the army arrives, there is no chance to beg for mercy!" Kantel shouted, "Zhang Yi, if you change your mind and beg for mercy now, we can still put in a good word for you in front of His Majesty the Tsar. We can even persuade His Majesty the Tsar to consider you.
As the monarch of China, we will help you conquer Greater China and Little China, please think carefully!"
How deceitful!
When Zhang Yi became tough, they changed their rhetoric and tried every means to intimidate and induce them. Their only goal was to find an agent in China to help them occupy this rich country.
How could the wolfish ambition be hidden from Zhang Yi's fiery eyes?
Zhang Yi smiled disdainfully, and he was so angry that he was speechless. These bear-like guys were arrogant, cunning, but not very smart.
This is his evaluation of the furry bear family.
"Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Moscow, and it takes you more than half a year to make the round trip on horseback," Zhang Yi asked tentatively, "It seems that your tsar has also gone south?"
"That's right, Zhang Yi," Golovin said proudly, "His Majesty the Tsar personally led an army of 500,000 people south and stationed it at the Yinshan Palace. It only takes ten days for the imperial hussars to arrive in Chang'an. This is your last chance, Zhang Yi!"
"Cherish the opportunity God has given you, Zhang Yi," Kantel laughed wildly. "Whether you agree or not, His Majesty the Tsar will come to Chang'an in person. Are you going to roll out the carpet to welcome His Majesty the Tsar, or are you going to throw an egg against a stone?"
I know, it turns out that Tsar Andrei had long had the idea of invading China, so he led his troops south and first conquered various tribes on the grasslands to prepare for the invasion of China.
At the same time, they also colluded with the powerful minister Wu Rui and tried to persuade King Liu Kai to form an alliance with them. After the king refused, he wanted to support Wu Rui.
Wu Rui had long been rebellious, and Zhang Yi's reform was just the trigger. This traitor was hidden deep enough.
It is really useless to say anything. The choice given by the enemy is to surrender or fight.
Zhang Yi had no choice but to fight against the odds.
All I thought about was a moment, and I just heard Zhang Yi say something with a sneer.
"Stones from the latrine?"
Golovin and Kantel were both stunned. What did this sentence mean?
"If you don't understand, just go back and ask Wu Rui." Zhang Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, "We've already talked about official matters. Now, we can have a one-on-one challenge. Kantel and Ignatiev are both well-known.
Warriors, even the polar bear will run away when it sees you, so who of you will come first?"
The three envoys were furious. The mission to persuade them to surrender had failed. They met and discussed in Russian chatter, and decided to demonstrate the strength of the imperial warriors.
Ignatiev took a step forward and roared, meaning that he would go first.
Shi Gandang had worked up all his energy for a long time, and finally waited for this moment, grinning.
"Master Chief Assistant, the last general Shi Gandang requests a battle!"
"Very good," Zhang Yi stood up and said, "Tiger Guard General Shi Gandang is the youngest general in China. Let him compete with Ignatiev. It will be a fair duel, and we will take responsibility for life and death."
"Just this little fat guy?" Golovin laughed with disdain, "He is all weak and can't take a few steps without panting. He wants to defeat the strongest man in the empire?"
"Chinese people have always been poor and grew up eating grass. This little fat guy probably grew up eating human meat buns, hahaha!" Kantel said with a wild laugh.
"Well, yes, I heard Wu Rui say that Zhang Yi was almost made into a human meat bun. Hahaha, human meat buns are a specialty of a barbaric nation!" Golovin mocked.
Heartbreaking.
That was the most dangerous, darkest and most humiliating moment in Zhang Yi's life.
Every bit of the story about Zhang Yi has been unearthed and widely circulated. However, in the mouths of the Chinese people, his performance in the human meat bun shop is outstanding, and he persuaded Niu Ben to escape successfully, and he has since embarked on a legendary journey.
road.
But in the mouths of Wu Rui and other bad guys, all his stories were blackened.
There were sparks in Zhang Yi's eyes, and he wished he could kill Golovin himself.
"Asshole, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll chop you into pieces and make buns to feed the dogs!" Niu Ben pointed at Golovin and cursed, "Golovin, if you have the guts, let's duel!"
Golovin was scolded angrily by this burly man as strong as a bull. He couldn't help but tremble all over and took a step back unconsciously. He knew very well that he was no match for Niu Ben.
Trying to keep his composure, Golovin said: "It's rude, I am the envoy appointed by His Majesty the Tsar, how can I participate in the duel? If you have the ability, just duel with Kantel!"
Kantel's strength was second only to Ignatiev, and he was about the same height as Niu Ben, but his weight was dominant. He relied on himself to have the upper hand. He took a step forward and said: "Come to me, I will fight with you, and I will break your body."
Neck, use your skull as a punch bowl!"
The bull was so angry that the two men faced each other and cursed each other, like roaring beasts.
Zhang Yi waved his hand, and the brothers separated the two. No matter what, they could not do anything in the court, as it would be out of style.
Zhang Yi had long said that only one of the three envoys could go back and report the situation, and it seemed that it was Golovin. The person Zhang Yi wanted to kill the most was him, so he had no choice but to endure it and do it again if he had the opportunity in the future.
Everyone left the main hall and came to the square outside, where the imperial guards formed a circle.
Zhang Yi gave both sides ample time to warm up, and sent people to invite all the foreign envoys who lived in the Huitong Pavilion, which was very close to the palace.
Many people, including Song Laohei, Zhang Ping'an, Anu and Yue Ya'er, came to watch the battle. Even Xiao Liu covered her face with a veil and came to Zhang Yi's side surrounded by her sisters.
Xiaolong announced the rules of the duel. You can choose to fight with bare hands or weapons, but you are not allowed to use hidden weapons and other despicable means. There is no time limit for the duel until one party dies.
Zhang Yi asked Golovin and the other three to express their opinions in public and recognize the fairness of the competition.
Even if you want to die, you must also convince your enemy to die.
To be honest, everyone was quite confident in Niu Ben and Shi Gandang's strength and believed that they would definitely win. However, they were still a little uneasy. After all, it was their first duel with the strong men of the Tsarist Empire and they didn't know what their strength was.
