"Fly the white flag, I'll go to the ice myself, I'll negotiate with Tepuxin! Bring a batch of gold, I want to see how greedy this bastard really is!"

Fadeev turned over and dismounted and was about to get on the ice, but all the officers around him grabbed him: "No! You are the commander of the regiment, you can't take the risk yourself, let's go!"

Fadeev shook his head, "No, we don't have time to waste on this kind of negotiation and confrontation, you see how tired our brothers are......"

Chekov, Ashavin and other officers looked around, and these soldiers who had come all the way from Central Asia in the wind and snow were already haggard and unpresentable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The cheekbones of the soldiers are high, and the cheeks are thin and collapsed, and the horses will eat the grass in the snow as soon as they stop when they are hungry, and there are always tired horses that fall to the ground during the march of the large army, and the soldiers will rush up like ants to divide the horse meat as military rations.

"Look, this is our soldier, loyal, brave, and resolute...... But they are also human beings, and there are limits to the same, and we must find supplies, even if we buy them with all the gold, we must find military rations for our soldiers, and horse fodder for our war horses!"

"None of you can go, in order to save face for Tepuhim, I have to go and talk in person......! Why not make these Qing slaves happy once?"

What else is there to say? The guards somehow got a torn white shirt, torn it and tied it to the flagpole, and accompanied Commander Fadeev onto the ice.

Then, in the afterglow of the setting sun, Fadeev looked carefully at the grooves treated on the ice, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "These Chinese are really geniuses in farming, look at the repair of this ice, it is as ...... as the crops in the farmland."

The longitude and latitude lines are straight like a knife cutting and axe, the width and depth of the deep ice trough are exactly the same, and even the black soil and charcoal sprinkled inside are also evenly thick.

The same work, if it were given to these Tsarist Russians, would not be able to be completed in a day, even if it was three days and the number of people doubled.

"It's really not okay to be unconvinced, these Chinese are born to create wealth! Our Tsarist Russia is ashamed of itself...... But it doesn't matter, we have a strong army, and naturally we can extract wealth from these people, and this is how we survive......"

Fadeev nodded, and the standard-bearer-interpreter began to shout "negotiations" in Chinese on the ice...... Our Legion Commander wants to see your Supreme Commander...... We're going to negotiate! Let General Tepukhin come and see us......"

"Unarmed, there are only two of us, not carrying any armament!"

Shouting all the way, all the way forward, and when they reached the burned out rocket bushes, the two stopped.

Soon two people also walked down from the opposite embankment, and the tower-like man in the middle was Hunchun, followed by a translator.

After the four of them met at the dividing line in the middle of the river, the bonfires and torches on the north and south banks had gathered into a bright galaxy, and the sky was completely dark.

Hunchun brought a lot of lighting torches, which were lit and inserted on the top of the snowdrift on the ice, and more than a dozen torches reflected in the surrounding area.

"This is General Tepuxin, right? The Supreme Military and Political Commander of Heilongjiang? I am Fajiev, the commander-in-chief of the Central Plains Reinforcement Corps...... I hereby salute you!" After speaking, Fadeev lightly touched the heel of his boot and gave a simple military salute.

This has already given enough face to the Qing people, how could the proud Rakshasa ghost take the initiative to salute the Qing officials?

Hunchun suddenly laughed when he listened to the translated Chinese, it turned out that the other party regarded himself as Tepuxin, no wonder the intelligence transmission efficiency of this world wants to be slow, Tepuxin has just been arrested for a day, and it is normal for these Cossacks not to know.

"General Farjiev, may I ask what is the matter with you coming to our Aihui on this cold day?" Hunchun said in a strange manner.

Fadeev was stunned for a moment: "General, I don't understand what you mean! Don't you know that I'm here? The Qing court has already agreed to our request for a loan, and even 20,000 of my vanguard have crossed the Heilongjiang River and headed straight to the south.

Hunchun smiled evilly: "Of course, the imperial court allowed you to cross the border and borrow the road, but it didn't allow you to hurt our people! Gogol and Fumanov are the masters? They have hurt a lot of our people and property, how can this be counted?"

As soon as Fadeev heard it, he knew that this was a bribe, and he was disdainful in his heart, but there was still a smile on his face: "General, tens of thousands of troops are crossing the border, if there is no damage at all, you also know that it is unrealistic, and the war horses trample on and have to destroy a few acres of manor!"

"Didn't Gogol tell you before that we would compensate for all the losses? Didn't you receive the deposit you paid before? That's a full four thousand taels of gold......

"Hahaha, of course it's not enough! That bit of gold is not enough to support our losses, so you have to increase the price!"

The muscles in the corners of Fajiev's eyes trembled, and he said in his heart that the slave of the Qing country was really shameless, and he dared to say it openly when he asked for bribes, and he didn't show face at all, but the situation was stronger than people, and he had to be a ninja.

Nodding, the interpreter untied a backpack from his back, and the heavy package smashed against the ice, opening it with a golden glow.

"Here is a thousand taels of gold, which is my deposit for you, and after this war, I will pay you the balance of 10,000 taels of gold, what do you think?"

"One thousand taels, is the dignified Central Asian Cossack Legion Commander just a little bit like that?" said Hunchun pretending to be angry.

Fadeev nodded, "Of course there is gold, I still have sixteen thousand taels of gold behind me, but I can't give it to you...... I would like to ask you to sell us grain and horse feed, the more the better!"

Hunchun was stunned when he heard the figure of 16,000 taels, gold has been scarce in China since ancient times, and the official exchange ratio is nominally a comparison, but that is still the comparison of silver during the Kangxi period.

With the improvement of the national strength of the Qing Dynasty and the frequent foreign trade, the value of gold has risen all the way, and now one tael of gold on the market can be exchanged for more than 20 taels of silver.

Fajiev took out more than 300,000 taels of silver to buy horse feed, grain and grass in one go, and this transaction was really a good deal.

Looking carefully at the gold on the ground, Hunchun's heart sank, there were some gold utensils for daily life, including jewelry, gold cups, ornaments and even decorations on the saddle, and Hunchun could smell the blood on it from a distance of more than a meter.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is all snatched from the Mobei grassland!"

Fadeev frowned, "The general talks a little too much, you don't need to ask where the gold came from, can't it be that we collect taxes?"

"With all due respect, General Tepukhin, you have made a lot of gold and silver from us over the years, doesn't that money smell of blood? Don't challenge my patience, or your private business will be ruined......

Threat, this is the threat of Chiguoguo, Fadeeyev thinks that he has pinched Tepukhin's pigtails, so he is not afraid at all that he will not agree.
