Chapter 1246: A Crazy Idea

When Qian Yonggui heard this statement from Menshikov, his entire being was filled with excitement!

Because he knew that the grand scheme he had set in motion in Tsarist Russia was only one step away from success!

An increasingly extravagant lifestyle had made Menshikov's desires grow ever more insatiable, and he had already begun to turn mad. At this moment, the enormous profit from this order was enough to drive him into further madness!

To what extent?

To the extent that he could turn against Peter!

This.

Was the grand scheme orchestrated by the Qian father and son!

A heaven-encompassing scheme!

Menshikov fell into deep thought, and Qian Yonggui, taking advantage of the excuse to go handle the order, hurriedly took his leave.

After exiting the door and boarding the Horse Carriage, Qian Feng was already waiting inside.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

At this moment, Qian Yonggui could no longer hide the agitation and excitement in his heart.

Qian Feng's eyes also lit up: "Father, are you saying..."

"Hahahaha, it's coming! Our ultimate goal is about to be achieved!"

Qian Yonggui clenched his fists tightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Qian Feng also became excited along with him.

Qian Yonggui's public persona in Tsarist Russia was that of a merchant who would not wake up early for anything without profit, a greedy man! But who knew his true identity? He hailed from the Jiangzhe region, and although they had been merchants for generations, his ancestors were actually renowned generals! And in the traditional culture of Longyan, among the Scholar-Farmer-Artisan-Merchant, merchants were actually at the very bottom. Therefore, their Qian family had always had a dream, which was to restore the glory of their ancestors! To serve the country with loyalty! They were determined to become a prominent family! They wanted to be like Liu Zheng and Liu Dahao, rising from a merchant family to eventually enter the halls of power!

And now, what they were doing concerned the fate of the entire Longyan!

It was enough to make their family begin to become prominent!

Thinking this, Qian Yonggui's breathing became uncontrollable and rapid. Ridiculous Menshikov! He thought he was a man greedy for money! But he, Qian Yonggui, had long since possessed a fortune of hundreds of millions; his life goal had long shifted from money to reputation! Only Menshikov would have an endless, insatiable greed for money!

This was a grand scheme!

A grand scheme sufficient to shock the entire Longyan!

"Then, Father, we..."

It took a long time for Qian Feng to calm his emotions.

Qian Yonggui fell into deep thought.

The Horse Carriage sped along, but the atmosphere inside had fallen into a deathly silence.

Only the uneven sound of two people breathing remained.

This matter was truly too big...

Too big!

They had to be careful and cautious.

But...

This scheme was worth the gamble!

Finally, the Horse Carriage slowly returned to the mansion where they were staying; this was a large manor gifted to them by Menshikov as a sign of his trust and friendship.

Just after sitting down, Qian Yonggui suddenly stood up, a light of ambition appearing in his eyes: "I think this time, I want to play big!"

Qian Feng was startled: "What kind of big..."

"Add fuel to the fire, and reap the harvest in one go!"

Qian Yonggui slammed the table hard.

Qian Feng's expression changed drastically: "Father, you mean..."

"Use poisoned grain as military rations! Completely disrupt the Northwest war situation and make these hairy ones kneel and call us daddy!"

"What?"

Qian Feng was so scared that he also stood up.

Poisoned grain!

This move was too ruthless!

This was pulling the firewood from under the cauldron!

But...

To be fair, this was truly too stimulating! Now, Menshikov trusted them completely; if the military rations they supplied to Rumyantsev were poisoned, what kind of effect would that have?

"Fa

ther, this..."

Cold sweat poured down Qian Feng.

If this matter succeeded, the two of them would definitely go down in history! However, the risk of this matter was also too great!

Poisoned military rations!

If it were discovered by Tsarist Russia, the two of them could completely forget about keeping their lives.

This bold idea of Qian Yonggui's had, of course, also popped up suddenly.

He was even startled by his own idea.

But...

This idea began to linger in his mind, unable to be cast away.

"This matter needs to be discussed at length!"

Qian Yonggui said with a serious face.

Qian Feng was also stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath. If one thought about it carefully, this matter was actually not impossible! Once military rations were traded, the volume of the trade was extremely huge! It was certain that not all the military rations would be spot-checked. Under these circumstances, he actually had enough room to maneuver.

It was just that the process would likely be a bit tedious, or even complex.

"Then this matter... does it need to be communicated to the country?"

Qian Feng also followed his father's rhythm, becoming excited.

Qian Yonggui laughed heartily: "This is naturally necessary!"

"The time to end the war... has arrived."

He sighed faintly.

This war between Tsarist Russia and Longyan has lasted long enough, and the lives of the Longyan people have been greatly affected.

If this continues, it will be disadvantageous for both Longyan and Tsarist Russia.

Qian Yonggui quickly brought paper and pen.

On the paper, he began to write a special type of coded text; this was a code that Qian Feng had personally participated in designing at the Military Academy.

The content is as follows.

"Menshikov has the impulse to commit regicide."

"Arrange a batch of poisoned military rations as soon as possible; this matter must be handled with the utmost caution."

Three copies of the letter were sent, beginning their journey to Longyan through their own channels.

On Zou Sheng's side, a fierce battle had just ended in Yanqi.

He could no longer remember how many general offensives this had been for Rumyantsev. Zou Sheng was already tired. He had blocked countless enemy attacks, and by this time, those who had previously questioned him no longer had a single word of doubt.

Strong!

General Zou is simply strong!

Every time, he successfully repels the enemy. The battlefield in the Northwest is far more brutal than Kuye Island. After all, the Tsarist Russia Army has already occupied the Wusun region, and it is impossible for them to retreat. Even if they know it is a quagmire, they are unwilling to withdraw.

Therefore, for Rumyantsev, there is only one Method: fight!

The fiercer, the better; the more savage, the better.

It is just that he did not expect the resistance of Longyan to be this intense.

It has been almost a year...

He still has not taken the Yanqi region.

"These hairy ones are truly fierce..."

"What are the battle losses today?"

"Where are the physicians? The physicians who were transferred here, have them come over!"

Returning to the military camp, the camp was in a state of chaos, and Zou Sheng's expression remained cold and weary.

He actually had a premonition long ago that the Northwest war situation would become a test of endurance between Tsarist Russia and Longyan.

This war cannot be finished in one year, perhaps not even in two years; it is possible that it will not be finished in ten years.

There can only be one hegemon in Asia.

Either it is Tsarist Russia, or it is Longyan.

This is a war for hegemony.

Therefore, he feels that the burden on his shoulders is truly too heavy. Every day he racks his brains, considering all the big and small matters of the war, not allowing himself a moment of slack.

"Report!"

"General, there is a secret letter!"

Just as

the guard was helping Zou Sheng take off his armor, someone came to report. Pop-ups are severe recently, please click to download to avoid pop-ups.
