688. Summer-Russian Border Negotiations [5]

On July 19th, 7225th year of Wu Cheng, and August 8rd, 3 in the Russian Creation Calendar, the missions of the two countries resumed negotiations.

At the beginning, the Russians suddenly changed their tune, declaring that they could not give up the area east of the Lena River and the Oryok River, but they could give up the area between the Shilka River and the Ergun River on the basis of the "Treaty of Nerchinsk" as a treaty for China. make up.Immediately, the atmosphere became tense, and the Chinese missions were all trying to figure out why the Russians repented. Could it be that the Russians had made preparations for an attack, and were ready to tear themselves apart and fight Huaxia?

After being silent for a long time, Jia Wenqing coughed dryly, then stood up and announced with difficulty: "Since the demands of the two countries are far away, this official suggests that the negotiations between the two parties be terminated."

An Wenhua was very dissatisfied with Jia Wenqing's acting as a superintendent, but at this moment he had to be consistent with Jia Wenqing in front of the Russians, so he stood up and was ready to leave without saying a word.

The Chinese mission was ready to fight the war, but the Russians found that their expectations were a little bit off.Could it be that our own side misunderstood the Chinese side's action to delay the meeting process? In fact, the other party did not send any investigation troops at all. It was indeed the negotiating minister who returned to Selengesk to accept the emperor's edict?Or did the Russian army in Krasnoyarsk not move eastward, so that China could clearly see that the behavior of the Russian mission was just intimidation?

The quick-witted Russian had no choice but to back off on the spot: "Honorary Earl, please wait a moment."

Looking at Earl Magnitogor who stopped him, An Wenhua asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Our country is extremely surprised at your country's reckless abandonment of peace." The old, treacherous and cunning Earl Magnitogor did not forget to beat back while lowering his figure. "In fact, our country is willing to make greater concessions, such as exchanging the entire Lower Baikal region for the Upper Baikal region and the area north of the Stanov Mountains."

All the Chinese officials present at the scene secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the Russian's stern performance, and An Wenhua also swept away his despondency, and told the other party clearly in a smug tone: "I want your envoy to know , The bottom line of our dynasty has already told you early in the morning, if you don’t agree, you will only meet with soldiers, but your envoy can rest assured that our dynasty and west invade the Russian mainland, but the whole northern plains is my dynasty’s old place in Tang Dynasty, so our dynasty still To take it back." [

Take back all of Siberia?Of course, the Russians scoffed at An Wenhua's clamor, but right now the Xia army may indeed carry out a "destructive" attack in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River, and then force the Russian settlers in the entire upper reaches of the Yenisei River to be like The Russians in Bratsk and other places also evacuated.

Thinking of the complete end of Russia's years of colonization in Eastern Siberia, the shirtless Count Magnitogor could only take a step back: "We only need the Upper Baikal region. The Eastern Region and the Lower Baikal Region are all handed over to the Chinese Empire."

Jia Wenqing An Wenhua once again stated: "The bottom line of our dynasty is the entire Beihai area and the east of the Lena River."

Earl Magnitogor's face changed again and again, and finally said with a sullen face: "Since the Chinese Empire has no sincerity at all, then our country believes that it is necessary for the negotiations between the two parties to continue."

Earl Magnitogor immediately threatened and said: "Your country chose the war, and Russia reserves all rights to counterattack. As your ambassador said before, if your country intends to invade Siberia, then Don’t blame Russia for invading Khalkha and Manchuria and burning the flames of war to mainland China.”

After listening to the translation, Bao Chongzhiteng stood up: "Is there a war? We will stay with you until the end."

It seems that the negotiations on this day have only started less than half a stick of incense, and they are already on the verge of breaking down, but in fact, neither of the two sides that are at war with each other has the ability to hold a big war, and they are just bluffing each other.

At this time, Earl Magnitogor made an astonishing move: "Honorary Earl, I suggest that you and I have a private talk, maybe we can reach a certain consensus."

Are the Russians ready to flex their charisma?Or are you ready to propose a private bribe?Or did they explode in a private meeting?For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on An Wenhua, which made the Huaxia chief hesitant.

As if he knew why An Wenhua hesitated, Earl Magnitogor added with great interest: "By the way, since you and I cannot communicate directly, the interpreter for both parties can stay, and the clerk in charge of recording can also You can stay."

Although it cannot be ruled out that the Russians would attack and hold him hostage, An Wenhua, who felt that he could not show his cowardly side in front of his subordinates and barbarians, agreed to Magni while thinking wildly in his mind. Earl Togor's request, so the two parties withdrew from the negotiating venue, and only the clerk and interpreter accompanied their respective officials.

"Your Excellency." When the field was cleared, Earl Magnitogor handed the piece of paper in front of him to An Wenhua. "This is a report from an officer of the Central Siberia Warlord Region of our country." An Wenhua didn't know what to say when he took the sheet upside down and couldn't understand the Russian letters on it, so he could only put it down again and listen to what the other party said. "It is reported that a Tatar army has destroyed the cities of Yerbosk and Jalalask in the Lower Tunguska River Valley. I think your Excellency must be very interested in this Tatar army."

"Army of the Tatars? Could it be?" This was the first time An Wenhua heard the news of the remnants of the Qing court after two years, and he was a little bit moved for a while. "I can't see that they still have the strength to conquer your country's cities."

"Yes, although these Tatar troops used blockade tactics similar to those of your country to conquer Russian cities, it is impossible to deny that this army still exists." Earl Magnitogor said in a friendly tone Said. "The Qing army, although they can no longer be called a country, is still the most terrifying enemy of our two countries. Faced with such an enemy, if your two countries continue to entangle each other because of the border issue, maybe they will Even if it grows again"

"Scaremongering." An Wenhua restrained his wavering mind, and commented in a dismissive tone. "Let's not talk about the power of a remnant army to threaten the two countries. Even if it is a threat, it is only a threat to your country. It has nothing to do with my dynasty." [

"Your Excellency should not be a short-sighted person." Count Magnitogor satirized An Wenhua calmly, and then said to the showdown. "I believe that what these Tatars hate most is to seize their country and the future Chinese Empire. If Russia is willing to help them restore their power, do you think they are willing to cooperate with Russia?"

An Wenhua frowned. Yes, the Russians were right. If Russia was willing to provide help to the remnants of the Qing court, then at least Beihai General Yongning Day, and if the Russians did not provide convenience, the Xia army would definitely go deep into the central government. The Tunguska Plateau and the North Siberia Plateau wiped out this remnant enemy.But think about it the other way around, even if China makes territorial concessions, the Russians are willing to unite with the Xia army to destroy this Qing army. Does the Xia army really have the power to destroy them?No, it's impossible. I probably only ordered the Xia army to fight in the Lower Tunguska River Basin where supplies are inconvenient, only if my head is broken.But is it possible to stop them along the Lena without destroying them?No, this is also impossible. The Xia army agreed to maintain the patrol along the long Lena River, but the Russians who have many towns along the Lena River may be able to provide assistance in defense, but is this seeking skin from a tiger?

An Wenhua, whose mind was muddled, asked in a pretendingly puzzled tone, "What does your envoy mean?"

"Russia needs the entire Baikal region." Count Magnitogor said with a sharp dagger. "If the Chinese Empire can agree to this condition, our country can send troops to assist your country in eliminating these Tatar bandits on the basis of transferring the areas east of the Lena River, the Oryok River, and the north of the Stanov Mountains to the Chinese Empire. "

"Is this impossible?" An Wenhua flatly denied. "It is impossible for me to give up the entire Beihai region, and I will not send troops across the Lena River to penetrate into your country's territory to help your country eliminate these bandits."

Seeing that An Wenhua did not bite the bait, Earl Magnitogor was a little disappointed, but he still did not give up his efforts: "Then we will take a step back, that is, your country will return the Upper Baikal region to our country, and our country will be responsible for exterminating these Tartars on our own." Tartar bandits."

"I need to discuss it with my subordinates." An Wenhua didn't answer the other party directly. "Tomorrow I will give you an answer."

Earl Magnitogor felt that there was a door, so he was naturally willing to wait for the good news, but he was worried that the other party would disappear again, so he said a cold joke: "Tomorrow? No problem, but your Excellency confirmed that there will be no more emperor of your country tomorrow." your will?"

An Wenhua naturally ignored the other party's sarcasm, but when he returned to his camp, another bad news was waiting for him: "What? The Raksha soldiers started to clean up our army's scout horses, and there are plans to move eastward on a large scale , what do you think?"

Although Bao Chongzhi is not a military officer, he has seen pigs running while working in the Ministry of War, so his judgment is: "Judging from the reactions of the Raksha people at the meeting today, it seems that they have not yet known about the Raksha soldiers and horses advancing eastward. Is there a lack of cooperation between Luocha civil and military forces? Or is our delay in the negotiation too obvious, and the Luocha people just use it to trick them?"

"I'm afraid things are not that simple." An Wenhua briefly explained what he had just learned from Earl Magnitogor. "The Dongjin of the soldiers of the country seems to be targeting the rest of the Jiankui, but it may not be putting pressure on our dynasty."

The officials present at Beihai Metropolitan Protectorate were obviously also shocked by this accident, and they all fell into deep thought.

"I'm afraid that while the Raksha people took back the west of the lake from us, they turned their heads and hooked up with Jiannu." After a long time, Honglu envoy Jia Wenqing said. "Then the court will be passive."

An Wenhua agreed: "That's why I didn't dare to agree to the envoy's request face to face, so I came back and asked several adults to discuss together and seek a safe solution that will not leave any future troubles."
