On June 15, 1648, the Swedish mission arrived in the capital.

Gao Junshan personally summoned Queen Christina's envoy in the Taihe Palace.

The mission consisted of eight people, headed by the Duke of Erickson, four officials and four interpreters, one of whom was an Englishman.

Among the translators, there is a Swiss-Chinese translator, but his Chinese level is too poor and he can only do some daily communication; There is a Rui-Ha translator who can translate into Kazakh, a minority in China and a language spoken in China. There is also a Swiss-English translator, they know that there are many people who are proficient in English in Huaxia, so they specially assigned a Swiss-English translator, this translator is also very scummy, so they invited another Englishman, this Englishman can speak fluent Swedish, of course, English is not a problem.

Gao Junshan learned about their translators, so he sent an English expert and a Kazakh language expert to Chongwen College.

This English expert is Tian Wenju's old friend - Allen, Allen is a fluent in Chinese and has come to China for many years to do business.

The purpose of the Swedish mission was to hope that the troops of Huaxia could cause some trouble on the border of the Rakshasa country.

Sweden at this time was a Baltic empire centered on the Gulf of Finland, whose territories included Karelia, Ingria, Estonia and Livornia, West Pomerania, Wismar, the Duchy of Bremen, and Felden, while Sweden also conquered Denmark and Norway in the territories north of the Sunder Strait.

Sweden are planning a summer offensive to the north of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and they hope to get the support of the Huaxia Kingdom to contain the southern part of the Rakshasa Kingdom and hold back several legions of the Rakshasa in Balkhash and prevent them from moving north.

Gao Junshan also thought of letting the Swedish army harass the north of the Rakshasa country, and never thought that they were also planning to launch an offensive against the Rakshasa country.

Since you have come to the door, we will tell you about the conditions.

Gao Junshan pretended to be embarrassed and said: "The Rakshasa country is thousands of miles away from my capital, and the army has to eat and dress when it fights, and the cost and loss of such long-distance transportation are huge!" ”

Duke Erikson said: "As long as you are willing to send troops and help us win this war, we will seriously consider the conditions proposed by Your Majesty." ”

Gao Junshan said: "Duke Erickson, you didn't say this, wait until you win this battle and then think about it, what do you think of my Huaxia Kingdom?" ”

Duke Erikson hurriedly explained: "Dear King of China, we are not seriously thinking about it, we will definitely consider it. ”

Gao Junshan said: "These are all unsubstantiated words, I propose, let's sign a treaty first, write down the rights and obligations of both parties one by one, I sign your name with your Queen Christina, Mr. Duke Eriksson, what do you think?" ”

Duke Erickson asked, "I wonder what the rights and duties of your country refer to?" ”

Gao Junshan stretched out two fingers and said, "It's very simple, I ask your country to open its ports to our Huaxia country, first, to allow the merchants of our Huaxia country to enter your country for trade activities; Second, allow China's warships to sail in your waters. ”

Duke Erickson's tight heart finally relaxed, and said with a smile: "I can make the decision to promise Your Majesty." ”

Gao Junshan was not in a hurry, and said: "In this way, on the issue of opening the port, please ask Duke Erickson and my minister to sit down and negotiate to see how to write it more appropriately, we will form it into words, in duplicate, and I will sign the name with Queen Christina of your country, what do you think?" ”

"That's great!" Duke Erickson agreed.

Gao Junshan asked the Ministry of Rites to entertain the guests, and he ordered that Bai Lisha take the lead in forming a group to draft an agreement between Huaxia and Sweden, and stressed that Huang Yunfa of the Ministry of Commerce must participate.

There were no major obstacles to the drafting of the agreement, and at the behest of Gao Junshan, seven clauses were drawn up, and because Sweden had a request from the Chinese state at this time, the terms were quickly finalized, and the treaty was as follows:

First, the relations between the two countries have progressed from mutual non-aggression to alliance.

Second, Sweden has opened its coastal ports, sent consuls to each other, allowed Chinese businessmen and their families to live freely, and allowed Chinese warships to enter Swedish waters and related ports.

Third, Sweden provided 8 million silver dollars to Huaxia to compensate for Huaxia's military expenses. The payment shall be made in four years, and if it is not paid on time, an interest of $100 per annum shall be added to five silver dollars.

Fourth, during the summer battles of 1648, mutual recognition of the occupied Rakshasa territories as the property of the occupying forces.

Fifth, the two countries will open their markets and allow free trade between Swiss and Chinese businessmen.

Sixth, the tax paid by Swiss merchants for import and export goods shall be agreed with Huaxia.

Seventh, it was decided that the civil litigation between Huarui and the Chinese businessmen would be taken care of by Huaxia.

The treaty was written in Chinese and Swedish, in duplicate, and Gao Junshan signed the treaty and stamped it with the jade seal of the Huaxia Kingdom, and asked Duke Eriksson to bring it back and sign it for Queen Christina of Sweden.
