Chapter 80: Make a Little Hole
When Liu Yu came out of the camp tent, Li Gan couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rub his head that was a little headache.
Whether the solution is really available is difficult to say. But with the previous siege of the fort, Li Gan already believed more than disbelief in some of Liu Yu's ghost ideas.
It's just that this style of acting is very inconsistent with the Celestial Empire system.
The trade between Mongolia and the Rakshasa is fine. Although Yu Li is not compatible, after all, Rakshasa is a foreign country, not within the tributary system.
When you do it, you can also hide it so that people don't know.
Anyway, the Mongols and the Rakshasas don't read the Four Books and the Five Classics, and they can't write articles to criticize, and even if they criticize, they can't get to the point.
But the way to deal with North Korea is purely to shake the world.
According to Liu Yu, it is necessary to allow North Korea to open its ports and open the sea, but only Dashun merchants are allowed to trade in North Korea, and if the rest of the countries want to trade in North Korea, they need the mutual consent of North Korea and the suzerainty of North Korea.
Dispatch of commissioners to open ports in North Korea. In the event of a conflict between a North Korean and a Dasun merchant, it should be handled by the resident commissioner, not by the North Korean side.
The fleets of Dashun merchants were allowed to sail off the coast of Korea, and in case of storms and waves, they could take refuge in Korean ports. Tariffs and other duties to be imposed by the DPRK side shall be negotiated with the suzerain.
I won't mention the rest, just these few articles, I'm afraid I will have to shock the jaws of the world's readers.
Is this called the clan system?
Where is righteousness?
Where is the etiquette?
The millennium system has always been based on it, and there has never been such a system of suzerains. In this way, how is it different from a barbarian?
Koreans read the Four Books and the Five Classics, and once this kind of thing is propagated, it will inevitably be shaken by Shilin and thought that they are the king.
This is equivalent to the suzerain's own belief that "the traditional suzerainty system must be completed".
This is Zhou Tianzi's self-destructive etiquette.
Li Gan is not stupid, and it can be seen that after this set of operations, the relationship between the suzerains and vassals of Korea and Dashun will be more stable.
Moreover, Dashun can easily manipulate North Korea's internal affairs and economy.
Taking advantage of the current civil strife in North Korea, it is entirely possible that the North Korean side will accept such a clause.
But that kind of thing is never possible.
Even if the control of North Korea is appropriately strengthened, it will definitely not follow these terms as Liu Yu said.
"Korea, Khalkha, Rakshasa, Dzungaria...... They all rushed together and were in a mess. For the first time, the Celestial Empire now had to deal with a great power that was adjacent to each other by means of diplomacy outside of the tributary system of the clan. Could it be that in his opinion, this feudal tribute cannot last after all? ”
The more I thought about it, the more impatient I became, the more I thought about it, the more upset I became, I rubbed the corners of my eyes with my fingers, and the attendant hurriedly offered the rose gold silk smoke from Luzon.
I picked it lightly, sniffed it violently with my nose, and sneezed twice with my eyes closed, and then I was a little sober.
The bell in the tent also jingled eight times, and the night was already a little deep.
I went out for a small turn for half a circle, looked up at the starry sky that was very different from the capital, and looked at the Beidou Tianji, which was much higher than in the capital, until Yang's neck was a little sore, and then I returned to the big tent.
Sitting next to the desk, facing the blank rice paper, he didn't mention the pen, and sat stupidly.
After a long time, he sighed.
"You want to make a big hole in this house, but I can only poke a small hole in the window paper."
…………
The valley of the Selenga River on the southern shore of Lake Baikal.
Two hundred elite honor guards of the Dashunjing Battalion and two hundred Russian veterans who had participated in the Great Northern War or the Third Russo-Turkish War stood in two rows looking at each other.
The elite of the Beijing camp carried a knife at his waist and a heavy arquebus behind him.
The elites of the Russians on the opposite side who took out the scenes were all carrying flintlock pistols.
Soldiers on both sides stood on both sides of the road, leading to several large tents in the valley.
In recent years, with the reform of Peter the Great, under the pain of reform, the average height of Russia has dropped to 1.62 meters, and the Kansai men selected by the old fifth battalion are not short, and the two sides are standing on equal footing.
Inside the tent, a unique negotiation is underway.
Qi Guogong didn't say a word, and the attendants kept adding tea to him.
The Count of Savoy, on the other side, also did not say a word, and kept smoking there.
Thousands of miles away, the fighting is still going on, and the negotiations here never stop, but neither side says a word.
At the beginning, Dashun started a war against Russia, and the plenipotentiary envoy of the Russian envoys, Count Sava, had the intention of scaring and scaring the Duke of Qi, and wanted to take the lead in taking the lead, so he sent an invitation to the Duke of Qi and signaled to continue the negotiations.
But in fact, he didn't know what to talk about at all, he just wanted to scare and humiliate Qi Guogong who didn't dare to come.
Qi Guogong was not frightened, he came with the guards, and he didn't speak after he came.
Every morning at ten o'clock, I sat here and began to drink tea.
Eat at noon, come back at three o'clock in the afternoon, and continue to drink tea.
Since the idea of starting a war at the front and continuing negotiations at the rear was put forward by Vaasa.
Qi Guogong came to drink tea on time every day, and Sava had nothing to talk about, so he could only smoke on time every day.
Sit quietly with each other for an hour and eat after work.
Originally, the Russians wanted to cross the border issue and directly chose to enter Beijing to negotiate trade.
The Russians feel that there is no need to talk about the border issue for the time being, it has become a fait accompli, what else is there to talk about?
It's just that he has been pestered by the Duke of Qi for a long time, and he has not given an inch on the issue of etiquette, and finally dragged it to Dashun and is ready to go to war.
When the news of the war came, the Duke of Qi had long known that Count Sava was unprepared and was busy for a while.
Urgently reported to Petersburg, it took a month or two for the news to come and go, and Count Savie, before the instructions from Petersburg arrived, thought of intimidation.
Who would have thought that Qi Guogong didn't care about this kind of intimidation, you talk about it, I will talk about it, and whoever doesn't dare to come will have a grandson.
Taking out the posture of the Michi Society, the two sides sent 200 guards each, and agreed to meet in the valley of the Selenga River in the border area.
Five miles away from the meeting place, the main forces of the two sides assembled separately and were gearing up. Try to avoid conflict, but they are all ready to attack if they are given the order.
Qi Guogong and Sava meditated in their tents every day, and the soldiers were ready to fight outside, but the business personnel who surveyed the boundary could not sit still.
This time, a large number of students of the mathematics department of the Russian Academy of Sciences also came to this small border town, and their majors are very suitable for boundary surveying.
The professors of these students were very famous, and the professor of physics and mathematics at the Russian Academy of Sciences at this time was Bernoulli, who was Bernoulli of the Bernoulli equation of fluid mechanics.
Before these students arrived, they had also heard that Euler, who had been admitted to university at the age of 13 and had published his thesis at the age of 19, was going to St. Petersburg to become a professor in their mathematics department. The Russian Academy of Sciences is finally going to start teaching calculus, and for a long time to come, the level of Russian mathematics will be world-class and talented, which is indisputable.
Students in the Academy of Sciences are always fanatical, even if they eagerly await to return to the Academy to continue their studies in mathematics and meet Professor Euler, who had already become famous at a young age. But when I think of the frontier issue, I am still full of enthusiasm, braving the wind and sand to survey and map the boundary every day.
Their professors are terrible, and so is the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Even a traverser like Liu Yu is still empty in the face of Bernoulli and Ora at this time. Even if he was born three hundred years later, his mathematical level is far behind, and he dare not compare, he is a fierce man who can mentally calculate calculus.
Dashun also took out almost all the mathematical surveying and mapping talents.
Those who followed the missionaries to draw a map of latitude and longitude, except for some who followed Liu Yu to the east to survey the border, the rest all followed Qi Guogong here.
What is difficult to solve now is the eastern route, that is, the Heilongjiang section from the Nan River and the Shilka River to the east.
The Russians in the west seem to have an advantage, but it is also clear that when the Dzungar Ministry attacked Khalkha Mongolia in the north, the Khalkha Department did not choose to defect to Russia but chose to go south for help, and the frontier on the western front was basically fixed.
This is not a semi-no-man's land like the east side, the population of the Mongol tribes is still quite large, and the Russians are now powerless to resist the combination of Dashun artillery infantry and Mongolian cavalry.
What the two sides really want to talk about is still on the Eastern Front.
The Russians don't know what Dashun means in the east; Qi Guogong's side is even more bottomless, when he came, he didn't have a map of the Eastern Front, until he received the map of the Sinicized Bering "sent" sent by Kuaima, Qi Guogong was relieved.
Fortunately, Liu Yu came up with an idea in the early stage, and he insisted on etiquette. Sure enough, the Count of Sava was forced to take the initiative to refute, and he had been pulling the skin on the issue of title for several months.
Sava thought it was the arrogance of the Eastern Empire, and it was not until the news of the war came that it dawned on him.
Taking advantage of these few months, the mapping officials who followed the Duke of Qi hurriedly drew a map of the boundary of the Western Front.
Up to now, the two sides have done almost the same job in the demarcation of the western front, and Dashun at least knows some cartography so that he will not be too fooled.
On the one hand, there are promising students who studied mathematics with Bernoulli; On the one hand, there is a small official who follows the missionary to learn N hand drawing, although there is a big gap in the level of mathematics, but there is not much difference in the matter of surveying and drawing.
Russia, which seems to be scary, has actually exposed its vulnerability: Westernization has just begun, and there are not enough people, and even the mathematics students in the Academy of Sciences have to take charge of it.
But in addition to the fragility, it also revealed its hideousness: in just ten years after its founding, the Russian Academy of Sciences was able to bear its first fruit - Lomonosov, the son of a fisherman who discovered the law of conservation of mass, laid the foundation of modern chemistry, founded Moscow University, and perfected Russian grammar and rhetoric.
And Dashun ...... Still making up the geometry original.
