1514 Man-Bear Finally Gives In!
The Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty, which has a total of 15 articles, explicitly cedes nearly 400,000 square kilometers of Far Eastern territory, which is a typical treaty that humiliates the country, which is undisputed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
However, in the signing of the treaty, the negotiation team headed by Prince Gong Yi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not without counterattacks, and under the premise of complete failure of the overall situation, Yi and they were also doing their best to strive for a little benefit for their own people.
Yi is not incompetent, Xiao Lotian recognizes this very much, in fact, in the late Qing Dynasty, Yi's diplomatic talent was definitely above Li Hongzhang, and later if he hadn't had a falling out with Cixi, plus his own health was not good, the diplomatic work of the late Qing Dynasty would not have been so shitty.
At least one thing is certain, as long as Yi is alive, even if he is still angry in bed, it is impossible for Cixi to do something as brainless as declaring war with all nations.
In fact, in the political situation of the late Qing Dynasty, there were only a few people who could restrain Cixi, not counting foreign devils, Zeng Guofan counted one, the other was Prince Gong, and the others couldn't.
The current Yi and Xiao Letian are definitely two hostile factions, but Xiao Letian is a very rational person, even if the opponent is his enemy, but he admires the enemy's talent.
There is one to say, there is two to say, Prince Gong Yi has the ability to have the ability, in the case of the city of Beijing being occupied by the British and French forces, and the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom pressing the border, he has tried his best to fight a few small counterattacks in the treaty that he had to sign.
The Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty, which clearly states that the land and property in the Far East that have been developed by the Chinese should maintain the status quo, for example, the farmland of the Chinese was Zhang San's before the Rakshasa ghost came, then in the future the tsar will rule here, and you must also recognize this property right, which is written in black and white.
Land, forests, rivers, mineral deposits...... Many of them were discovered and developed by the Chinese, and the Chinese themselves dig gold, pick ginseng, plant, hunt in these places, and Tsarist Russia really can't control it.
Only later the wealth discovered by your Tsarist Russia itself is your own, for example, your Tsarist prospecting team found an iron mine, then the ownership of this deposit is naturally your own, and what the Chinese discovered before, you cannot touch.
In addition, you are not allowed to collect taxes when the Chinese in the Far East trade with the Chinese outside the Guan. This is also very reasonable, originally that land was all relatives and relatives, friends and even friends, in the past, there was a country across the river, and there was an exchange of goods, but now a paper treaty has become two countries?
On the other side of the river is my uncle's house, and I barter with my cousins, do I have to pay taxes with you rakshasas?
Then there is the judicial power, the Chinese in the Far East have become accustomed to accepting the laws of the Great Qing, you Tsarist Russia has taken away our land, but I in the Great Qing Dynasty cannot completely ignore my people, so the violations of the law of the two ethnic groups must be punished by the laws of their own countries, which is the little welfare they finally fought for these wanderers in the Far East.
It sounds really tragic, but in the irretrievable situation of the landslide and the earth, the remnants have been left with a heart, and it is also thanks to those Rakshasa ghosts who are in a hurry to sign the agreement, otherwise they will not agree to these conditions.
From this point of view, it also proves from the side that the Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty was completely a robbery by Tsarist Russia, in fact, the Rakshasa army north of Heilongjiang at that time was simply not capable of occupying such a large piece of land by force.
They just took advantage of the trouble in the south, and the British and French forces captured the city of Beijing, and then Xianfeng also died, and the court launched a coup d'état to kill himself...... This series of unfortunate and unfortunate things were all smashed on the head of Manqing.
It was at this opportunity that Tsarist Russia took action, even scaring and deceiving and taking advantage of the situation, and finally succeeded in attacking the Far East.
The Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing was the greatest diplomatic victory of Alexander II's reign, and it was also a shot in the arm for the decadent state of Tsarist Russia after the Crimean War, and it was from this treaty that the Manchus exposed their weakness.
When Alexander II saw that the Manchus were so intimidating, he shifted his national strategy from Europe to Asia, managing the Far East on the one hand, and supporting Aguba's invasion of Xinjiang in Central Asia on the other.
In the real history, this group of Rakshasa ghosts in the Far East wantonly slaughtered the indigenous people of China, completely ignoring these clauses in the treaty, because they knew that the weak Manchu Qing was simply unable to punish them.
But now, the little bit of people's hearts left by Prince Gong has allowed Xiao Letian to find the golden key to solving diplomatic problems. He watched Cai Bixuan refute Andreev speechlessly, looked down at his pocket watch again, knew that it was not early, and raised his hand to stop her.
"Alright, my communications chief, you can go down and rest for a while, and I'll tell him the rest!"
Cai Bixuan nodded, and threw the manuscript of the treaty directly into Andreev's arms, "Look for yourself, there is Russian on it, I hope you are not illiterate...... Hmph!"
Cai Bixuan, who breathed out with his nose and eyes, walked out of the crowd arrogantly and stood beside Xiang Ying like a swan. Xiang Ying looked at her future daughter-in-law, swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, and took advantage of the unpreparedness to twist Cai Bixuan's plump ass like electricity.
"You're good! that's amazing...... When did you learn to be diplomatic?" said Xiang Ying in a low voice.
With a bang, Cai Bixuan made a big red face, "I'm going to kill you, what about so many people...... After speaking, the little leather boots were raised and kicked directly on Xiang Ying's feet.
No one knew that the little couple was flirting behind the crowd, and now everyone's attention was focused on Xiao Letian.
"Andreev, now do you know what is wrong with you? You are also from a noble family, although it has declined, but I believe that the noble spirit in your blood will not be lost...... Do you still think you've always done the right thing?"
"You should know that in the Declaration of the Rights of Man, promulgated at the time of the French Revolution in 1789, every human being is created equal, except for social differences in public use, and that all human beings are essentially equal......
"This idea is now so ingrained in Europe that even the kings don't question it! But what are you doing in the Far East? massacre, plundering...... Treat these local natives like wild beasts!"
"Do you still think you are righteous? Do you still want to deny your sins? How can I save your lives with such an attitude?"
Until this moment, Andreev and those citizen representatives, all the defenses in their hearts completely collapsed, and this was no longer a defeat on the battlefield, but a collapse of their inner values.
Andreev knelt down in front of Xiao Letian with weak knees, his eyes red and swollen and said, "I repent of our sins......! I only hope that the Prime Minister will spare the townspeople, they don't deserve to die!"
