Chapter 566: The Outer Manchurian Boundary Demarcation

Hearing Hao Zeren say this, before Hao Ge could speak, Sony on the side had already interjected: "Shopkeeper Hao, since the King of Pingliao has agreed to negotiate, then the cooperation between the Tang Army and our department has a foundation and premise." But I don't know what kind of conditions your army offered, and asked the shopkeeper Hao to make it clear. ”

After Sony finished speaking, Ao Bai on the side also said loudly: "Yes, shopkeeper Hao, I am a cheerful person, and I hate the kind of twists and turns that try to come and go, that Pingliao King Li Xiao, what kind of conditions did he say to you, you and tell us directly, let's talk about it clearly." Damn, the alliance is done, and if it doesn't work, it's not so much nonsense. ”

Listening to the words of the two subordinates, Hauge was a little embarrassed on his face, but it was inconvenient to speak, so he could only pretend to drink tea.

And after Hao Zeren listened to the words of Sony and Aobai, he subconsciously glanced at Chen Juyi, the tent man on the side, and both of them looked inexplicably proud from each other's eyes.

Hmph, these Tartars, obviously now they can only come to beg us to sign an agreement to solve the crisis in a low voice, but they still pretend to be straightforward and happy, which makes people laugh secretly.

Although Hao Zeren wanted to say this, the smile on his face was even bigger, he put down the teacup, sighed softly, and said: "Alas, this world is really a creation and a trick." I think that some time ago, my Tang army and the Qing army, in the place of Vladivostok Fort killed you in the dark, but I didn't expect that now, the two armies can turn enemies into friends, hand in hand with each other, to deal with the national thief Dorgon, such a fate, but it is wonderful. ”

Sony smiled: "Shopkeeper Hao, this is the so-called don't fight and don't know each other." Now that the past has passed, there is no need to mention it, and I am waiting for this because I really hope that the two armies can put their old suspicions on this, make friends with each other, become allies of each other, and jointly fight against the great thief Dolgon, which is the most important thing. “

Hao Zeren laughed twice, then nodded with emotion, and said loudly: "Okay, the scholar is sincere." Since everyone can treat each other with sincerity, Hao will tell the truth from the bottom of his heart. Master Li did explain to him a few key conditions, and he hoped that you would accept all of them, and that further cooperation could be discussed between you and me. “

As soon as Hao Zeren's words fell, Ao Bai shouted impatiently: "Grandma, Hao shopkeeper, you should say it quickly, what did Li Xiao say, you can tell it quickly, I am in a hurry." “

"Ao Bai, Hugh is rude!" Hauge finally spoke, but he reprimanded him with a stiff face and said: "The negotiation between the two armies is such a big and serious thing, how can you be so unruly here, you listen to the shopkeeper Hao, don't talk too much!" “

Ao Bai was scolded by Hauge, and his face was a little unbearable, but he didn't say anything, so he could only snort, pick up the teacup, and drink it all in one go. Chen Juyi, who was on the side, couldn't help laughing and picked up the teapot to refill him.

Hao Zeren still smiled, and he opened his mouth and said: "Prince Su, the commander of the army, don't be anxious, I will tell you a few conditions for Master Li." This first condition is the hope of Master Li that in order to prevent the two countries from continuing to quarrel, it is first necessary to demarcate the boundary of the Outer Manchurian region with the Qing State in this regard, so that the two sides will be blocked from each other and will not cause trouble, which can be a long-term solution. “

Hearing Hao Zeren's words, Haoge's eyes lit up, but they quickly dimmed.

In his heart, in fact, he also desperately hoped that if the Qing Dynasty could really be controlled by himself after the civil war, he extremely did not want to have a big dispute with the Tang army again for the Outer Manchurian region and even meet each other. After all, after this large-scale civil war, the Qing Empire could only bring about defeat if it wanted to regain its strength with the elite and powerful Tang Army to compete for Outer Manchuria.

Moreover, there is another point, which has always been a hidden worry in Hauge's heart.

That is, the natives of the Outer Manchurian region, encouraged by the headhunting order of the Tang Army, kept harassing and killing individual Qing troops and people, which caused great trouble to the entire Qing Dynasty.

It's just that if he really wants to agree immediately, Hauge is also unwilling.

Because, he knew that although this Outer Manchurian region was a wilderness and a primitive land that was completely undeveloped, these places were originally the inherent territory of the Qing Dynasty, and it would be a pity if Li Xiao crossed out in vain with a covenant.

Haoge even thought in his heart, if the old Khan knew about it, and the old slave saw that after trying his best to unify the entire Northeast Jurchen tribes, he finally occupied the land, and gave it to people like this, he would be under Jiuquan, and he would also scold himself for being such an unscrupulous descendant.

It's just that he still has the capital and conditions to refuse Tang Jun's request?

You must know that in the current land of Outer Manchuria, the Tang Army has built two large forts, Temple Street Fort and Vladivostok Fort, which have infiltrated most of the Outer Manchurian area. What is hateful is that when the Tang army was spreading out in the Outer Manchurian region and constantly expanding its sphere of influence, the Qing Dynasty was deeply afraid of fighting on both sides, and had not been able to free up its hands to counterattack, and finally after signing a peace agreement with the Ming Dynasty, the emperor personally marched to attack the Vladivostok Fort that had not yet been fully built, in order to break the Tang army's invasion and encirclement of Outer Manchuria, but he did not expect that it would end like this.

What is even more regrettable is that these Tang troops who beat Khan Ama into serious injuries and formed waste, these Tang troops whose hands can be said to be stained with the blood of countless officials and soldiers of the Qing Empire, now have to reconcile with them in order to seek their assistance......

Just when Prince Su was inexplicable in his heart, Sony on the side had already asked softly: "Shopkeeper Hao, if your army wants to draw a clear boundary with our country, where is the boundary?" “

"University scholar, the condition of my Master Li is to demarcate the border between the two countries with the Heilongjiang River and the Asu River as the boundary." Hao Zeren smiled and said with a serious face: "Lord Li demands that the land north of Heilongjiang and east of the Asu River be under the rule of our Tang Army, and from now on draw a clear line with the Qing Dynasty, and permanently divide the Outer Manchurian boundary, and no longer have disputes with our army." ”

Hao Zeren paused, and then said: "If the two armies divide the border under this condition, Lord Li will also issue an order to restrain his subordinates and local residents, so that they can no longer fight or entangle with the soldiers or people of the Qing State. Since then, the border between the two countries in the Outer Manchurian region has been demarcated, and no further intrusion can be a long-term solution. ”

Listening to Hao Zeren's words, Prince Su Haoge frowned tightly again.

He sighed secretly in his heart, Li Xiao's condition, his appetite is really big. If the boundaries north of the Heilongjiang River and east of the Azov River were assigned to the Tang Army, half of the land that was basically full of land would be swallowed up by the Tang Army.

This condition is really ruthless.

It's just that Rao is like this, in Haoge's heart, the most insurmountable condition for Tang Jun is actually a difficult knot to solve.

That is, this place, which has obviously been passed down from generation to generation since the old Khan, has lasted for decades, and can be described as the inherent territory of the Qing Dynasty, although now the Tang army has lost the actual control of many places due to continuous encroachment and infiltration. But now that you really want to officially give away a treaty, it is really not easy to cross the knot in the heart of betraying the land and betraying your ancestors.

As if he had seen through Hauge's heart knot, although the shopkeeper Hao Zeren was still smiling, he deliberately paused here for a moment, as if he was waiting for Hauge to finally agree to accept this embarrassing condition.

And Ao Bai on the side had an angry face, his chest rose and fell, and he breathed heavily, and he could see that he was extremely dissatisfied, but he had just been criticized by Hauge, and he didn't have the courage to come out again, so he had to endure and not say a word.

Sony, on the other hand, had a complicated look on his face, constantly brushing his short beard, looking like he was thinking intently.

The room was filled with an awkward silence.

In the end, Hauge coughed lightly and said, "Is this this?" The conditions of King Pingliao were set too hard. You must know that this land of outer manure was my territory of the Qing Dynasty as early as a few decades ago, and if such an ancestral land is easily carved out, it is really difficult for this king to bear this heavy responsibility. “

"Prince Su's words are bad." The smile on Hao Zeren's face was still the same, but his words were unquestionably firm: "This land is full of people, it was originally the land of my Daming Nuergandusi, and it has been hundreds of years since its establishment. Later, my Ming Dynasty withdrew from Outer Manchuria, and only guarded the area of Liaodong, and these places were not directly controlled. Later, your Mandate Khan rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and occupied the entire northeast by force, and this outer land fell into the hands of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, this land outside the land was originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but it was only later that the Qing Dynasty forcibly seized it, and now my family Lord Li pulled out the chaos and re-entered the area of Outer Manchuria, which is really reasonable, why should Prince Su be so stubborn? “

After Hao Zeren finished speaking, Chen Juyi next to him also interjected: "Prince Su, even if you take a step back and say, because my Ming Dynasty lost control and was controlled by the Qing State by force, then, since Qin lost its deer and the world chased it together, then now my Lord Li, it is completely reasonable to reoccupy this outer land by force." Besides, to put it bluntly, the Qing Dynasty has actually lost control of the land that is now full of people, and this place has been occupied by our Tang army and has achieved effective control. Now Master Li proposes that the boundary between the Heilongjiang River and the Azov River, which occupies the north of the Heilongjiang River and the east of the Azov River, only accounts for about half of the area of Outer Manchuria, and for the Qing Dynasty, which has now suffered a great reduction in strength after the defeat of Vladivostok, it has really made a lot of money. “

Chen Juyi paused for a moment and replied: "Besides, if the border demarcation is completed, the fighting between the two armies can cease, and all kinds of harassment and confrontation will also disappear, so that the two countries can turn hostility into jade silk, and from then on there will be no more disputes." Prince Su, what a wise and wise person, how could you not see this? “

When Hauge heard this, his heart was inexplicably bitter, but he still had to try to make a calm appearance on his face.

Of course, he knew that the words of Hao Zeren and Chen Juyi, to put it mildly, were nothing more than giving himself a step.

After all, now the Qing Dynasty has no ability to control and manage the land of Outer Manchuria, even if the Tang Army does not put forward this condition, but continues to encroach on it piece by piece, the Qing Dynasty, which has experienced the defeat of Vladivostok, is indeed unable to stop it.

Taking a step back, after all, the key to self now is to obtain the assistance of the Tang Army, so as to better fight against Dorgon, and giving up nearly half of the outer Manchurian land from the official terms can be regarded as a necessary price.

Thinking of this, Hao Ge sighed, with a false smile on his face, and replied to Hao Zeren: "Okay, Shopkeeper Hao, you have said this, and this king doesn't want to argue too much, so he will agree to this condition of King Pingliao." In the future, the two countries will be bounded by the Heilongjiang River and the Azov River, and the boundary north of the Heilongjiang River and the east of the Azov River will be ruled and controlled by the Tang Army. And the boundaries south of the Heilongjiang River and west of the Asu River are all the land of our Qing Dynasty, and this clause was agreed to by the king. “

Hearing Haoge's statement, Hao Zeren's smile suddenly became bright, and he nodded again and again to compliment: "Prince Su is really wise and decisive, and what he said is very true." It is rare for Prince Su to have such a clear understanding of the current situation of the two countries, and if he wants to come to this Outer Manchurian region, the disputes between our army and your country will stop, and the military and civilians of the two countries can rest and reap the benefits! “

Hao Zeren said this, and he was even more happy that Li Xiao's condition could be finally recognized by Haoge.

Because he knew that if the dispute with the Qing Dynasty ended, this vast land, which had only two garrisons, would be able to be developed by immigrants like Sakhalin.

As long as these lands are developed, the Tang Army's occupation of these places will basically be monolithic and will never be loosened, and this ancient and wild land will henceforth become a valuable territory for the descendants of the Han people in China from generation to generation, just like Nanyang.

Once these lands are developed, they will form a more powerful support for the Tang army stationed, and it will be easier to supply both manpower and food.

Then, if the Tang Army continues to expand to the whole of East Siberia on this basis, it will undoubtedly be smoother and more convenient.

Seeing Hao Zeren's bright smile, Hao Ge was very unhappy in his heart, he frowned, and said to He Zeren: "Shopkeeper Hao, what is the second condition of the King of Pingliao, please tell the king immediately." “

Hao Zeren said with a smile: "Prince Su, the second condition of my family Li Da is to ask the Qing Dynasty to give up the title of the Mongolian suzerain, and let the Qing Emperor give up the title of Bogda Chechen Khan, and instead let the Mongolian tribes submit to my family Lord Li, this point, Prince Su should not object, right?" “
