After the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the weather is slowly cooled down, the golden cinnamon in the Old Summer Palace, which is quite a precocious variety, has quietly yurt, attracting butterflies and bees, although the weather is very cool at night, but between the day, the sun is still very violent, this is an unusual hot weather, according to the old man from the south of the palace, this is like the weather in the south, for such a strange weather, so the original thing to return to Luan, also delayed, the meaning of the masters in the garden, or to wait for the long live Lord to tour north, If you look at the warm weather, maybe you will have to spend the New Year in the garden this year.

Naturally, the celebration of the Double Ninth Festival is also ready to be made in the garden, the flower room has been prepared with chrysanthemum decorations from various scenic spots, and the governors around the country have also put on excellent varieties, although the queen mother decreed, "Beihai uses soldiers, and the country should not be extravagant celebrations" in the name of ordering frugal festivals, but chrysanthemums still have to be placed.

In the duty room of the military aircraft department in the Old Summer Palace, there have long been many sentences, and the people of the Internal Affairs Office have made it clear that these pale green sentences that seem to be set up by petals are called "Yushu Silver Spear", which is a new variety, and it was specially called this name for the great victory in Beihai.

Wen Xiang entered the duty room with a smile, Prince Gong and others were in the lobby, waiting for Wen Xiang, Bao Jun arched his hand towards Wen Xiang, "Wen Weng, everyone is waiting for you here." He was quite anxious, "How's the talk with the Russian ambassador?" Did he give in? ”

Prince Gong smiled, "Your temperament is still so urgent, let Duke Wen sit down and talk in detail." ”

Wen Xiang arched his hand and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the Russians have retreated, and the entire territory of the North Sea cannot be given to China, and the Altai and Udi rivers cannot be ceded." ”

Bao Jun was a little disappointed, is this also a concession? "That's no concession?"

"The area of the Udi and Altai. It's a small head," said Zeng Guofan, "and there is not much land, and besides, the Turks are very obedient, and the pastures of Altai are gone. It's okay to give him a piece of the Beihai area, it's no problem, the Udi River is sparsely populated, and it doesn't matter, the key is Beihai, Beihai, how many are they going to let out? ”

"Russia is poor in donkey skills." Wen Xiang said with a smile, "South of Erkou City. To the west of Sol Mountain, they had reluctantly agreed. ”

Bao Jun slapped his hands fiercely, Zhu Xueqin was also overjoyed, the whole hall was filled with a festive atmosphere, Prince Gong called Sula, "Quickly bring the map of Beihai." ”

Sura brought up a map of the North Sea and spread it out on the long table, and everyone didn't care about the system of slaughtering and assisting. They all surrounded the map and looked carefully, Zeng Guofan's eyes were a little old. Hu Linyi handed him a tortoiseshell-framed glasses, and Cézanne compared, "This piece is not small, it is about hundreds of thousands of miles, Tianjin Mansion is so big, but here." Cézanne pointed to the southwest of the city of Erkou, "but the mountains are swamps, which are of little value, and that's it." What about Erkou City, will you give it to us? ”

Wen Xiang nodded, "Erkou City is willing to give it, although they have been making small moves nearby, preparing to retake this city. ”

"What about the others?" Zhu Xueqin asked.

"Nebuchu and Ulan-Ude must be returned to Russia, and Chukubash can give us."

"Ridiculous," Li Hongzao shook his head and said, "The Russians are also called regression?" Still didn't take China into account, you must know that Russia in the North Sea area has no more usable troops, and it is still engaged in such a stinky shelf, who to see? Nebuchu and Ulan-Ude are already in Chinese hands, and they must not be returned to them! ”

"What the Duke of Baoding said is very true," Cezanne saw Prince Gong's hesitant expression, and hurriedly said, "Besides, how to settle the Mongolian tribes in such a small place?" Whether this pasture is good or not is secondary, and there are not so many places to divide. We all know the attitude of the Russians, if you expect them to pay compensation, there is no possibility at all, then since there is no other trick, it is really impossible to cut such a little land! ”

Wen Xiang said, "Don't worry, if Russia says this, it's just a bargain, just like we want the whole territory of Beihai, we can't do it, their current conditions, they themselves know it, they can't achieve it," Wen Xiang said to Prince Gong, "Lord, I think that if it doesn't work here, it's better to let Shangshu Qinghai, the Imperial Academy, come out and contact the governor of Siberia first." After all, the ambassador level is still too low. ”

Prince Gong nodded, "That's very good, but you can't hang him, lest we say that we are not sincere, and it is not good for them to be annoyed and angry, Wenshan, you don't have to go to see that rude ambassador again, let Yi Liang go, the emperor has a will, saying that the three cities of Beihai must be included in the bag, not Beihai, at least the north and the south must be divided and ruled, let's take care of this matter, we can only talk about the conditions again, but we can't cut down, and then send the court of the military aircraft department, the war in the north must not stop, we must continue to sweep all parts of the southern part of the Beihai, Pull up the cities that the Russians have built here one by one. ”

"Talking while fighting? So very good," said Bao Jun, cheerfully, "lest the Russians think that they can take advantage of us in the negotiations." ”

"There are a few princes who accompany the emperor in front of him, but they are brave," Wen Xiang said to Cezanne, "Please go abroad and try your skills with Russians, the emperor has already approved it." ”

"Now the rise of military equipment is also a blessing for the dynasty," Cézanne said with a smile, "Now that the military is victorious, and the three cities in the North Sea have been captured in a row, and Russia has no temper, which is really very happy." ”

"On the side of the Prime Minister's Yamen, you still want Wenshan to keep an eye on," Prince Gong said to Wenxiang, "Find out what the countries mean, what kind of attitude do we have next, and we also have a dependence, right?" ”

"The British are in the middle of the matter, and they don't seem to want to get involved in the confrontation between China and Russia, but they have vaguely talked about the territorial ownership of the Pamirs, and I think in my heart that if we remain silent there, they should help us." The French were strongly opposed, but they did not do anything else, but it was inconsequential to protest, and the Americans were enthusiastic and asked for mediation, which could be done with their help in making peace. Austria is very dissatisfied with Russia's actions and is ready to send troops to the Balkans to help Turkey. ”

"This is a good thing," Prince Gong said with a smile, and Su Lalai reported, "the report of the Beiyang Naval Division." ”

Prince Gong opened it and looked at it, "Huh?" A suspected Russian warship was seen near Sakhalin, the warning was ineffective, and it has already been sunk? Prince Gong put down the report, "Very good," Prince Gong said with a smile, "The family is big, and the matter at sea is solved." Then it's time for the Russians to bow their heads.
