New Shun 1730
Chapter 620 Dashun's first appearance in Europe (I)
The result of the coup is not the point.
The point is to let the whole of Europe see that Dashun participated in the Russian coup.
According to the normal historical process, Elizabeth succeeded in the coup with 300 young men, which was not difficult at all. Whether it was the common people or the old nobles, they had long been dissatisfied with this group of Germans.
Liu Yu helped to detain the key figures in power now, and the difficulty was even lower.
The key is to let Europe realize that Dashun is no longer a legend in the East thousands of miles away, but a great power that can stretch its claws to Europe.
It is a member of the modern history of the world, and some things must be discussed with Dashun.
Selling a good thing to France: Look, I helped you to support a pro-French tsar, and the relationship between our two countries can be better.
It is also a poison to the Netherlands: Are you stupid? Russia is pro-French. If you don’t push William IV, who is tough on France, up, France may fight to Amsterdam. You can’t break the dam and use water instead of soldiers, right?
By the way, let all European countries be more polite and stop sending people like George Anson to East Asia to talk dirty. Anyway, Dashun has many ways to disgust you, but you have no other way except to send the fleet to Bohai Bay.
Dashun can support the descendants of the Stuart dynasty and Sweden, what can European countries do?
If they correspond one by one, the descendants of the Stuart dynasty correspond to the descendants of the Zhu family; supporting Sweden corresponds to giving money to North Korea to let North Korea attack Dashun.
All of them are nonsense.
After this incident, European countries had to treat some of the requests and suggestions put forward by Dashun with caution.
So Liu Yu knew very well that this was icing on the cake.
But he had to perform a feeling of sending charcoal in the snow.
This coup was regarded as Dashun's first appearance in Europe-although Duke Qi had been here before, it was at most equivalent to adding a few colors to this vague and mysterious country in the East, but it was still foggy and unreal. Can't see or touch it.
On the morning of the second day, the first step of the performance was carried out step by step.
After going through the official channels and being notified, Liu Yu took the official personnel to meet the current little tsar and his mother.
The little tsar was too young to stay on the throne for a long time. He also had to consider things like feeding the baby and changing the tsar's diapers. It was not good to meet the tsar on one side, and the tsar had to change the diapers on the other side after urinating...
It was not until the afternoon that the best time for the audience finally arrived. The little tsar had just woken up and was unlikely to cry for the time being.
Dashun recognized that Luosha's level was imperial. The little boy was only one year old and was held by his mother, the Regent of the Russian Empire, Leopovna of Mecklenburg.
Count Osterman, the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of the Navy, and the head of the Criminal Investigation Office, took the documents handed over by Liu Yu after Liu Yu saluted the little tsar and the regent.
Soon, the little tsar started crying and had to let the nanny take the little tsar away first. All matters were handled by the little tsar's mother, the Russian regent queen.
The amazing thing is that the regent of the Russian Empire could speak Russian!
And he spoke it quite well.
At this time, it was not easy for the European court to find a monarch who was proficient in his native language.
However, apart from some formal greetings, the lady did not like to speak the rustic Russian, but communicated in Latin.
After the greetings, Liu Yu talked about the purpose of his visit.
"Your Highness, I am here to sign a non-aggression treaty between China and Russia. The border issues between the two sides have been completely resolved. It is time to put aside the misunderstandings and distrust between each other."
"We don't understand the rules of European countries very well, but according to the rules of the Celestial Empire, the new emperor can change the era name one year after the old emperor's death, which is also considered a real enthronement."
"October 28th is the day when Queen Anna died one year ago. We hope to be able to present the gifts and blessings for the enthronement on the next day."
Leopovna was very happy to hear this. Ivan VI's throne was not very stable. If Dashun could participate in such a ceremony, it would be equivalent to formally recognizing Ivan VI as the true monarch of Russia.
Diplomacy between monarchies is diplomacy, etiquette is etiquette, and mutual recognition is also required within the court.
Glancing at the gift list presented by Liu Yu, the specifications are high enough, but these gifts must be presented in front of the envoys of various countries at the Tsar's celebration on October 29.
October 29th is very close, and the official coronation ceremony has been held. However, since the servant who represents the heaviest crown in the world at this time has to convey the congratulations and recognition of the crown owner, it seems that he still needs to prepare.
"Count Osterman, I think you should preside over and handle this matter."
The Queen Regent tilted her head to assign a task to Count Osterman, and then said casually: "Just in time, there is news from the front. His Majesty the Tsar's marshal, Ireland's Lacy, defeated the main force of Sweden in Wilmanstrand and wiped out 7,000 Swedish soldiers. This news has just come, and it is just right as a gift for the first year of the coronation."
"It is also a good opportunity to inform the envoys of various countries."
It seems that he suddenly remembered it, but in fact it is to show the strength of Russia and tell Liu Yu that Sweden, which you support diplomatically, is vulnerable.
Liu Yu remained calm, thinking that you guys are really good at learning. When you went to the capital, we were trumpeting our victory in the war against Japan; when I came here, you followed suit and told us that we had defeated Sweden in Finland.
But what's the point of defeating Sweden? It would be a disaster if we couldn't defeat Sweden. Those Swedish people are stupid. Do they really think this is still the era of Gustav?
He neither smiled nor looked surprised. He congratulated the female regent calmly - he really couldn't figure out what she would be called if she were in Dashun.
It was definitely not the empress dowager anyway.
After the congratulations, he congratulated Count Osterman again. He seemed a little surprised by the defeat of Sweden, and his expression of congratulations was a bit awkward.
In fact, Count Osterman didn't expect Liu Yu to come to Europe. When he was in the capital, Liu Yu had been in the capital as a threat.
There have always been rumors that the reason why Liu Yu did not go to Japan in person and resigned as the governor of the navy and military affairs was to prepare for the upcoming conflict between Shun, Russia and Junggar. It is said that Liu Yu will serve as the Protector General of the Western Regions, and will be in charge of military and political affairs, and is ready to completely solve the border issue.
Under the huge pressure of Liu Yu's appointment as the commander-in-chief, Osterman had to make great concessions on the border issue. Who would have thought that Liu Yu would come directly to Europe.
The first stop was not Paris, but Amsterdam, which is understandable.
Relatively speaking, the Netherlands is one of the countries closest to Dashun. The trade volume is much larger than that of Russia.
The second stop came to St. Petersburg, and Osterman did not think that Liu Yu came to mediate the Swedish-Russian War.
There was no formal alliance between Sweden and Dashun, but they just used each other with a common enemy.
For example, the few Swedish prisoners of war captured in Junggar would make people subconsciously think of the relationship between Sweden and Russia. After all, they were all captured in the Great Northern War.
Therefore, Count Osterman believed Liu Yu's words about signing a Sino-Russian non-aggression treaty.
This is in the best interests of Dashun, because the things they should have asked for have already been taken in the previous negotiations.
Of course, it is easy to talk, and they want to sign a non-aggression treaty.
At this time, he didn't think it was useful to tell Liu Yu about the Swedish incident.
The regent meant to warn Dashun: Don't think that you are the only ones who are good at fighting. We Russians are also very powerful. Look, we just won a great victory in Finland.
But Count Osterman knew in his heart that this could not warn Dashun at all, because Dashun didn't even think about going to war with Russia!
Now it seems that most of the rumors in the capital of Dashun were false.
I'm afraid that Liu Yu ran to Nanyang as soon as he arrived in Zhangjiakou?
All this was clearly a diplomatic blackmail of pulling out a rabbit out of a hat.
However, Count Osterman knew that he was fooled, but he still pretended to be "wise regent" and deliberately boasted to Liu Yu about the battle of Wilmanstrand.
He was like a dumb man eating bitter herbs, and he had no way to express his pain.
He couldn't admit that Dashun had no intention of going to war at all, and that the pastures of the Junggar tribe that he had returned before were all extorted by Liu Yu.
If he said this, it would be really embarrassing.
He knew that what he said now might be seen as a fool by Liu Yu, but he had to continue to play dumb.
"My Lord Marquis, the Russian army is also a world-class army. The Swedes who once dominated Europe are no match for our army."
"I think it is a wise choice for China and Russia to maintain peace and non-aggression. Otherwise, it would be meaningless bloodshed for the two best armies in the world to fight in the desolate Siberia."
Liu Yu thought to himself, "You can gather 50,000 troops in Finland. If you can gather 5,000 troops in Heilongjiang, I will take your surname if the logistics are not broken."
What's the point of you telling me this?
But he still had to express it verbally.
"Yes, I also think that the war between the two countries in the barren Siberia is a meaningless bloodshed. Therefore, this time the emperor sent me to visit Europe, and the second stop is to come to Russia to sign a non-aggression agreement with your country. And the diplomats of various countries will testify that the border survey between the two countries has been completed."
"Of course, if the two countries sign a non-aggression treaty, then the trade between the two sides can continue to expand. Including the use of the Heilongjiang River to transport Kamchatka fur, rhubarb trade, tea cake trade, etc., will return to normal. And we can discuss the issue of reducing tariffs."
He also gave a little sweetness, which was supposed to be done.
It is easy to open tariffs on Russian trade, because many nobles are making profits from trade with China. Of course, they hope to reduce tariffs and hope that Dashun will not impose an embargo on Russia again.
Since the Junggar incident, the trade between the two sides has been in a tense state. In order to cooperate with the performance of going to Southeast Asia, Dashun has previously implemented a series of embargoes on Russia and obstructed the transportation of furs to the Siberian waterway through the Heilongjiang River.
Regarding trade issues, we must think clearly: Whose Russia is Russia? As long as it is not the Russia of the industrial bourgeoisie, then Russia will like it if the country reduces tariffs in exchange for Dashun's expansion of trade, because Russia at this time is the Russia of the nobility, not the Russia of the industrial bourgeoisie.
The rhetoric about trade issues is obviously a great promotion of Dashun's exports, but here it has become a manifestation of Dashun's diplomatic sincerity.
After showing his sincerity, Liu Yu said goodbye first. There was nothing to discuss today, just a formality. The formal diplomatic action of all officials of the cooperative envoys to meet the new tsar was scheduled on the 29th, so there was no need to talk nonsense now.
After Liu Yu left, Osterman immediately made his own suggestions to the Queen Regent.
"Your Highness, please pay attention to Elizabeth Petrovna's activities in the Preobrazhensky Corps. She is not as delicate as she seems."
"After the celebration on October 29, the Preobrazhensky Corps should be transferred to Finland immediately. If she has no ambition, it would be best; if she does, then she will be powerless after leaving the Preobrazhensky Corps."
"We should create a perfect environment for her to be a grand duchess with peace of mind. Don't give her the opportunity to make mistakes, which is the most perfect family affection and family love."
