Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 579 Treaty of Rowell Mouth

"Eunuch Huang, something happened in the palace?" Liu Hongjian suddenly felt a little nervous.

Chongzhen's health has been getting worse recently. When he was in North Korea last month, Zhu Cihong wrote in a secret letter that he hoped that he would go back as soon as possible.

Now that he is thousands of miles away from Daming, the palace still sends people to look for him, which shows that something serious must have happened.

"My lord is fine, don't worry about me, my lord." Knowing that Liu Hongjian had a close relationship with Chongzhen, Huang He hurriedly explained.

It turned out that the Ming Dynasty had been at peace recently, and Chongzhen had become more capable in dealing with affairs since seeing the prince Zhu Cihong in charge of the country, and finally decided to be with the prince on the ninth day of September in the 19th year of Chongzhen.

The enthronement of the new emperor is a major event for the Ming Dynasty. The first thing Chongzhen thought of was Liu Hongjian. He might have spent his whole life guarding the Nine Sides. Chongzhen has always been interested in places outside the pass.

So no matter what the war situation outside the pass was, Chongzhen sent someone to call Liu Hongjian back immediately after setting the date for the Zen position.

"The emperor is now living in Xishan Bieyuan. He has been trying to improve the steam engine with Wuwei Bo Song Yingxing. He can laugh several times a day. Our family has been with the emperor for several years, and we have never seen him!" Huang He waved the dust in his hand. said with a smile.

In the past two years, Huang He first followed Chongzhen's Northern Expedition, and then went to North Korea. Now he has seen the grasslands in the extreme north. He really feels that the world is so big that he should go out more.

He even thought about befriending the King of Anguo and finding a job in the newly built navy of the imperial court, so that he could go down in history like Duke Zheng.

"The emperor has finally decided." Liu Hongjian smiled and was very relieved.

For 5000 years, the dream is boundless, and the so-called throne is nothing more than that. It is much better to let go of the burden and find the real fun before the death of life, than to wake up when dying.

Uncle Chongzhen, who was obsessed with engineering, reminded Liu Hongjian of Chongzhen's elder brother, Emperor Tianqi, who had done nothing for the emperor for seven years. He was a carpenter every day, and lived a happy life.

"Eunuch Huang has worked hard for traveling thousands of miles, rest for two days and help me report back to the emperor, I will definitely go to the capital before the Double Ninth Festival!
In addition, I would like to tell His Highness the Crown Prince that our Daming probably needs one more province. "

When Liu Hongjian knew the news and told Uncle Chongzhen, it was definitely not as exciting as telling that kid Zhu Cihong. As soon as this kid came to the throne, he would have two places outside the pass to belong to him.

Vasily didn't keep Liu Hongjian from waiting too long, he wanted to delay it, but another order came from Moscow, telling him to stop the war with the Ming Empire as soon as possible at any cost.

It turned out that Sweden and Poland also learned that the Raksha Kingdom was in a melee with the Ming Empire in the east, and the two kings communicated with each other to try to clear up their suspicions and take advantage of the fire to rob the Raksha Country.

It was still by Lake Baikal, and there were still the same few people, but the mood of Vasily and Liu Hongjian was different from the previous few days.

After the two of them sat down, Babutu, who was behind Liu Hongjian, rushed to wink at his brother Maozi, who was "sneaking eyes" a few days ago, and walked towards the reeds by the lake while Liu Hongjian and the two were not paying attention...

"Respected Your Excellency, General Daming, I have repeatedly considered the conditions you proposed in the past few days, and discussed them with the Marquis Morozov. Regarding the first two of your proposals, our Raksha Kingdom has no objections.

It's just that we hope to reduce the war compensation, subject to 20 silver coins, I wonder if Your Excellency General can agree? "Vassili knew that General Daming in front of him had a bad temper, and he didn't like to beat around the bush, so he said bluntly.

A truce is necessary, but Vasily still hopes to recover some losses as much as possible out of his position.

"No problem! Let's do it like this!" Liu Hongjian didn't even hesitate.

Isn't it just some silver? He doesn't care, the court is not short of silver, and the Ming Dynasty is not short of silver, and now the situation doesn't have much time to spend outside the pass.

He must deal with these matters as soon as possible and then rush back to the capital to attend Zhu Cihong's enthronement ceremony.

"Eh..." Vasily was surprised that Liu Hongjian agreed so simply.

A few days ago, Vasili felt a little bit at a loss for being so aggressive and not discussing at all, so he would have pressed down a little earlier.

"Since it has been agreed, don't waste time, let's sign the treaty!" Liu Hongjian waved his hand, and a personal guard brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them on the table.

Vasili sighed when he saw the incident, and had no choice but to signal his followers to come and write.

The treaty states:

[-]. The territory of the Raksha State and the Ming Dynasty is bounded by the Lena River, the Ilga River, and the Ergou River. To the west is the Raksha State, and to the east is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, including the entire Baikal Lake. Garrison.

[-]. The Ming Dynasty handed over Lord Norton of the Raksha Kingdom and all the captured soldiers of the Raksha Kingdom in the barracks, and the Raksha Kingdom handed over the entire clan of the exiled emperor Dai Shanji of the Qing Dynasty.

20. The Raksha Kingdom shall pay [-] silver coins in compensation, which shall be paid in one lump sum within two months after the signing of the treaty.

The treaty was made in duplicate, and each side kept one copy in Ming language and one in Raksha language.

The person in charge of the writing was Fan Sicong, a translator who was proficient in Raksha language. After he finished writing, he handed over one copy to the translator of Raksha Kingdom. in front of you.

Liu Hongjian was happy without any hesitation, took the brush and signed his name, and then took out his seal of the county king from the ring and pressed it firmly on the document.

When he arrived at Vasily's place, he was obviously depressed. Although Alexei had authorized him to deal with it at any cost, he had to pay compensation for losing so much land.

This is like Li Hongzhang more than 200 years later. Even though everyone in the court knew that this was the best result, it was still inevitable to use him as the scapegoat.

After a moment of silence, Vasily finally picked up a quill brush and signed.

"I'm very glad to be able to discuss matters with His Excellency Vasily. I hope to sign the treaty next time and see you again." Liu Hongjian took the document handed over by Vasily, blew on the wet ink, and stretched out his right hand.

"I also hope to see you again!" Vasily stretched out his right hand reluctantly to shake hands with Liu Hongjian in a gruff voice.

Although he was amazed at Liu Hongjian's courtesy of Europa, the sarcasm in Liu Hongjian's words made him even more angry.

Marquis Morozov visited him last night and showed him the unexploded grenades collected on the battlefield. He said bluntly that he had studied and understood the structure of this thing, and he only needed to call workers to imitate it when he returned home.

It is precisely because of this that Vasily decided to sign this shameful treaty.
The next time I see you again, it must be when the Raksha Kingdom defeated the Ming Empire, it must be, Vasily swore in his heart.

"Well, then that's it, goodbye!" Liu Hongjian couldn't see the displeasure in the old man's eyes, but he didn't care, and planned to leave after collecting the paperwork.

At this time, Guan Ning Zhuang Han Babutu, who had gone out for a "tryst" secretly, came back, followed by a limping Maozi.
