evil slave

After deciding to ask Liu De to negotiate with Golo on his own behalf, Zhao Qiang closed the door and never saw anyone again, and asked the guards to stay outside the courtyard to prevent anyone from approaching. The contents of the Treaty were written down one by one, and then the content of the negotiation was drawn up based on the contents of the treaty and the actual situation of the Guan Ning Army. 【】

Zhao Qiang remembered that at the Nerchinsk Conference, Suo'etu, the representative of the Qing Dynasty, prepared three demarcation strategies, namely the next three strategies.Policy: take the Lena River as the boundary; policy: take Nerchinsk as the boundary; bottom policy: take the Ergun River as the boundary.Among the three strategies, it is suspected that the strategy is the most beneficial to the Qing Dynasty, because if the Lena River is used as the boundary, the east of the Lena River, including the Kamchatka Peninsula by the Bering Strait, is the territory of the Qing Dynasty, which is the map of later generations. All the land from the north to the Arctic Ocean belonged to the Qing Dynasty.With Nerchinsk as the boundary, Bice will lose one-half of the territory, and Xiace Ergun River as the boundary, it will lose half of the land. In other words, all the territories controlled by Zhao Qiang are in legal name. into the territory of Russia.

But in the end, because the negotiator Suo'etuneng couldn't stand Golo's intimidation, and because Kangxi wanted to mobilize heavy troops to put down the Junggar supported by Russia, he didn't want to have another war with the Russians, lest the two sides be unable to cope, so In the end, he chose the worst strategy to sign a treaty with the Russians using the Ergun River as the boundary, giving up millions of square kilometers of land.Originally, the territory west and east of Lake Baikal was the territory of the Outer Mongolian tribes, and the name also belonged to the Qing Dynasty, and they were all abandoned.The abandonment of these territories laid the foundation for Russia's subsequent invasion. More than 100 years later, based on the places abandoned by the Qing Dynasty, Russia finally seized more than 100 million square kilometers of land in the northeast, and thus became the world's largest land power.

The Treaty of Nerchinsk established by the Qing Dynasty and Russia not only determined the boundary line between the two countries, but also stipulated that "the hunters of the two countries, no matter what the cause, shall not trespass the established boundary. If there are one or two lowly people, either because of hunting or theft , Those who cross the border without authorization will be immediately armed and sent to the officials in the country. After hearing the facts of the case, they will be punished according to law. Sentenced to death. Neither prepare for war because of the crime of a few people, let alone shed blood because of it."

There are also such things as "this agreement has made everything before it, and it will never be discussed. From the date when the two countries have established a good relationship, there will be fugitives after that. They will not be accepted, and they will be sent back by the Department of Arms." "Now the Russian people are in the country. Or those who are Chinese citizens in Russia, hear it as before." "From the date of the peace treaty, all peoples of the two countries who hold passports are allowed to cross the border, and they are allowed to trade with each other." and other clauses, it can be said that in addition to In addition to ceding large tracts of land, the Manchu Qing government had indeed achieved "equalization" of diplomacy.

Yes, except that the land was gone, the treaty was fair and equal. Zhao Qiang couldn't help but want to laugh out loud when he thought of the magnificent words of equality written in the "Nerchinsk Treaty".I really don’t know if Suo’etu’s head is rusted. The fuse between the two countries is the land. In the end, when you have an advantage in military strength, you don’t want the land and want the so-called "peace". Big joke!What's even more ridiculous is that [-] troops fought desperately for Yaksa, the land of the Maru, and besieged it for half a year. In the end, ten Zhili were ceded to the Russians with a stroke of a pen. It's hard not to laugh.

Forget it, you don’t want me!Zhao Qiang slapped the table heavily, pondered for a while, and picked up a pen to write on the paper.

Negotiations are just like doing business, you sit on the ground and start a bargain, so Zhao Qiang naturally thought of the lion's big mouth.It's like in the previous life when he bought clothes in the shopping mall in his hometown city, the other party asked for three hundred, and then he didn't say anything, folded it in half and cut it in half, 75 yuan, sell it or not, or leave if you don't sell it!If the boss really doesn't want to sell and doesn't call him back when he sees him leaving, then he will add another 20 yuan when he comes back. Generally, under such circumstances, Zhao Qiang can bring his own clothes and end the battle satisfactorily.This kind of common buying and selling in the market is actually a negotiation. There is no difference in essence between small people's negotiations and negotiations between countries. The only difference lies in the size of the things discussed.If it is beneficial, talk, if it is beneficial, fight, if it is beneficial, there will be peace, if it is not beneficial, there will be no peace!

But this time, Zhao Qiang made an offer, and Golo counter-offered, so Zhao Qiang's mentality was much better than when he bargained. The Russian army is not a little bit stronger, so he, a strong man, can naturally list the conditions he wants. Anyway, the Russians are not sincere enough to negotiate this time. If they are used to scare them, even if they fail to negotiate, they will scare him to death.

After more than half an hour, after a lot of hard thinking and calculations, Zhao Qiang finally stopped writing, stretched his waist in satisfaction, and then looked at the "Hanonibuchu Treaty" he had drawn up like a baby to close The Ning army has not played the banner of Zhu's "Daming" or Wu Sangui's "Great Zhou", nor does it have the title of independent country, so Zhao Qiang can only use a "Han" character to replace Guan Ningjun and himself.In his Treaty of Hanonibuchu, there are eight clauses impressively listed, and the contents of these eight clauses are listed in descending order of importance.

The first article is usually the first and the most important one, so this article is of course about the division of the boundary between the two countries.The demarcation point determined by Zhao Qiang is roughly the same as Suo'etu's policy, that is, to use the Lena River as the boundary, the east of the Lena River belongs to the Guanning Army, and the west belongs to the Russian Army.In this way, not only Yask, Erguna, Dujigensk, Duolunchan in the east and other places have justifiably become the sites of the Guanning Army, but also Nerchinsk, Yaksa, Baikal Lake and other places. It was assigned to the Guanning Army, and the Russian army in these places will retreat to the west of the Lena River. If the Russian side really agrees to this demarcation point, then the governor of Nerchinsk can only be kept in the file as a past tense official name. Here, the sun will never see the light of day.

Of course it would be good to divide the border by the Lena River. Anyone would be happy to get four times more land than the current land for nothing, but Zhao Qiang knew that the Russians, especially the so-called "Oriental Killer" Golo, would never agree, so he Yagen didn't expect Liu De to come back happily with this contract.Moreover, Zhao Qiang didn't really want the Russian army to retreat to the west of the Lena River and abandon Nerchinsk and Yaksa. In that case, Zhao Qiang couldn't digest it either. Unable to cope with the heavy blows of the Qing army, the use of the Lena River as the boundary was just Zhao Qiang's reaction to try Golo. What kind of attitude the other party will have when they see such a demarcation clause may not be able to vomit blood on the spot.

In fact, Zhao Qiang is not prepared to sign a treaty with the Russians now, at least before the spring of next year. He thinks the most ideal time to sign the contract should be when Yaksa is surrounded by the Qing army. Only at that time, Golo Only then can we face the reality honestly and talk to ourselves seriously. Of course, the deterrence of force is also essential.If you want to obtain a negotiation content that is beneficial to your own side, you can't just rely on appeasement. Without a sharp sword hanging above your head, it is absolutely possible to make the other party bow their heads.

The second is the issue of war reparations.In this article, Zhao Qiang listed in detail the losses of the Guanning Army in previous battles. Of course, the figures were three times larger than the original figures. He asked Russia to pay these war reparations, totaling 260 million taels of silver.At the end of this list, Zhao Qiang carefully considered the actual difficulties of the Russians, fearing that they would not be able to afford so much money at once, so he made a special note: If the Russian side is in difficulty, it can be used as a substitute for firecrackers, artillery, gunpowder, grain, horses, etc. If it is really difficult, you can also use land to make up for it.

The third article is about the residents living in this land. In this article, Zhao Qiang requested that after the Russian army withdraw from Nerchinsk and Yaksa, they should not forcibly take away the residents of various ethnic groups living in the local area, and they should all hand them over to the Guan. Ning Jun ruled.In addition, all the allied armies they forcibly confiscated must be handed over to the Guanning Army, and the weapons held by the soldiers must not be confiscated by the Russian side for any reason.

The fourth article is about the terms of commerce and trade.This clause requires that Russia must open all commercial exchanges with the border strongholds and cities of the Guanning Army, and each of the two parties will levy commercial taxes on the merchants of the other party at a tax rate of 5.00%.In this article, Zhao Qiang also carefully marked a sentence: Guan Ningjun promised that the products produced under his rule would be sold to Russian merchants first if the prices were equal, and the Russian side should also follow the same.

The fifth article is about the redemption clauses of Russian prisoners of war.This clause indicates that if Russia wants to redeem the Russian officers, soldiers, civilians, women, etc. captured by the Guanning Army, it must pay the corresponding ransom money.For example, the redemption price for officers is 1000 taels of silver, the redemption price for ordinary musketeers is 300 taels of silver, and the redemption price for civilians and women is 100 taels of silver.And if you want to redeem the nobleman, you need to pay 1 taels of silver each. This nobleman refers to Cooper and his wife Lin Na. Now that Zhao Qiang is going to marry Feng Yun as his wife, he doesn't care so much about Lin Na. I haven't seen her for almost two months, so naturally, Cooper and Lin Na are listed in this redemption clause.After the price was announced, whether the Russians were willing to redeem it or not, how to counter the price was not what Zhao Qiang wanted to consider, all these were left to Liu De to discuss.Others, Zhao Qiang couldn't guarantee it, but he believed that the Russians would definitely ask for the redemption of the captives, because these captives were too important to them, and because their army in the east was already pitifully small.

Article 5000 is the terms of purchase.This treaty stipulates that the Guanning Army can purchase from Russia the munitions, war horses, food and other materials it needs. The Russian side must comply with this treaty and provide the materials needed by the Guanning Army. Increase the price of items sold.In this article, Zhao Qiang’s remark is Article [-], please refer to Article [-], that is, the silver taels purchased by the Guanning Army can be offset by the redemption price of the Russian side in Article [-].That is to say, if the Guan Ning Army wants to obtain fifty guns from Russia and needs [-] taels of silver, then five officers can be used to offset the purchase gold.

Article [-] is the mutual military assistance clause.This article stipulates that from the effective date of the treaty, the Guanning Army and Russia will be in a strategic alliance. All matters are negotiated and handled through military contact points.At the same time, this article stipulates that no matter which side is attacked by what kind of enemy, the other side must provide war assistance and jointly attack the invading enemy.At the end of this article, Zhao Qiang also marked a sentence: In order to show the friendship between the Guanning Army and the Russian Empire, we can send a diplomatic delegation to the Russian Empire to Moscow.Originally, Zhao Qiang wanted to write about sending an ambassador to Moscow, but he thought that the word "ambassador" might not be understood by the Russians, so he used "diplomatic delegation" instead. The army doesn't even have a country name but wants to send a diplomatic mission to Russia. Isn't this a naked slap in the face of the Russians?

The eighth article is also the last article. This article is purely because Zhao Qiang couldn’t think of anything else after thinking of the first seven articles. Russia sent an expeditionary force to help Russia destroy neighboring hostile countries.This article came from Zhao Qiang, just for fun, Russia's European territory is thousands of miles away, how could the Guan Ning army have the strength and leisure to help them fight European countries.However, what he didn't expect was that when the first seven clauses of the treaty he drafted were being tossed around by both parties, the eighth clause was retained without any changes. Twenty-seven years later, the Russian minister took this 27-year-old treaty and confidently asked Zhao Qiang to send troops to protect the Grand Duchy of Russia, which was on the verge of subjugation. The first European expeditionary force in Chinese history.

…………

Early the next morning, Liu De came to Zhao Qiang's residence early, and Zhao Qiang was waiting for him in the hall early, and when he saw him enter the house, he handed the treaty that he racked his brains to draw up to Liu De, Liu Deyi, He stayed there on the spot, looked at Zhao Qiang in disbelief, and stammered in surprise: "Big... handsome... this... this..."

Zhao Qiang understood Liu De's surprised reaction. It's human nature, and he would be dumbfounded if he read the content of the contract without knowing it.

"This" for a long time, Liu De finally swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice: "Is this because I have too much appetite, my subordinates are afraid that the Raksha people will not talk to us at all."

"I know you will say that." Zhao Qiang laughed, took the masterpiece from Liu De, and said with a light smile: "It's okay, let's negotiate. I will counter-offer you for the price. A higher price is also convenient for them to counter-offer. If If you list the price honestly from the beginning, the Russians will still counter the price with us. In this case, it is better to set the price higher at the beginning and let them pay back slowly. Don't worry, the Raksha people will agree with us. What you are talking about, at least they have to put on a show, otherwise what will they use to confuse us?"

Having said that, Liu De still had some difficulty accepting that he had to bring such an impossible treaty to negotiate with the Raksha people.Seeing him like this, Zhao Qiang missed the bottom line and told Liu De what concessions could be made in these few points. After listening to Zhao Qiang's bottom line, Liu De was relieved, and secretly thought that the commander-in-chief was too troublesome. The things on the surface can be so different from the actual ones yesterday.

"Whether the negotiation is secondary or not, the key is to let the Raksha people know that we are not small people, and this place is no longer in the hands of the Raksha people. If they really want to fight us to the end, Then even this last foothold will be gone!"
