Chapter 571: Equal Treaties

The main forces of the Cossacks, who were far away in Ukraine, sat back and watched Moscow be surrounded, and did not have the heart to come to support.

If a pack of wolves does not dare to approach a certain being, it can only be said that this existence is something that makes them fear, not a prey in their eyes.

If the Cossacks were a pack of wolves, notorious wolves on the European continent, the Chinese army was undoubtedly this existence that they did not dare to approach.

The Cossack cavalry's iconic spear became a benchmark for hanging heads, and the head of a battle that lasted for several miles looked terrifying.

The Jingbei army camped on both sides of the Moscow River, and not far from their camp were Zhang Huangyan's soldiers and horses.

The Sichuan soldiers had already followed Yang Zhan to return victoriously, and Yan Yingyuan also led his troops to withdraw to Dzungaria, and the imperial court had no intention of continuing to support a million troops on the northwest front, which was not large in oil and water.

The daily cost of a million troops is definitely an astonishing number, and Rao is the Hua Dynasty is a little unable to afford such a far front.

Xia Wanchun looked at the city of Moscow in the distance, which was located at the junction of three terrains, with the high ground to the northwest; The southwest is also highland, and only the east is a hard sand dune, which is low.

From a distance, the entire city was shrouded in pine forests, and when Xia Wanchun returned to Jinling during the Spring Festival, he listened to the will of the Holy Lord, and his mission was to punish the Rakshasas, not to occupy the vast country.

In this way, Xia Wanchun fought even more unscrupulously, and he even had the idea of burning Moscow.

Just as the young Marquis of Xiangxi was looking coldly at the pine forest on the outskirts of Moscow, a messenger came to a distant place with the emperor's new will.

At this time, two months have passed since Jinling learned about the report of the Northwest War, and the cold winter is coming soon, and most of the Jingbei troops outside Moscow are Mongols and are very hardy.

Xia Wanchun unfolded the secret letter, his fingers trembled slightly, and his forehead frowned deeply.

After a while, Xia Wanchun let out a long sigh, closed the secret letter, and instructed his soldiers and horses: "All the Russian nobles captured in the occupied area, as long as they have titles, will be wiped out, and no one can be left." ”

Xia Wanchun's staff general looked incredulous, tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "General? ”

"This is the Holy Decree!"

....

The whole month of September was a terrible September, even greater for the nobles than the horror brought to them by the Mongols.

Xia Wanchun did not attack the city, but surrounded it and wantonly hunted and killed the Russian nobles.

At this time, Russia was still a country where serfdom was prevalent, and the personality and self-esteem of the peasants were ruthlessly destroyed, and they worked for the landlords all day without compensation, and even were mortgaged as debts.

How could these serfs avenge the landlords, who faced the selective killing of the Chinese army, watched coldly, and even secretly applauded.

The Chinese army only killed the nobles, which also minimized the voice of resistance, and it has to be said that this move is very insidious, and the nobles in the places that have not yet been occupied can't wait to ask Moscow to surrender as soon as possible in order to save their lives.

Tsar Alexei I was already on the verge of collapse, and for so long the outside bombardment did not stop.

Otherwise, the arson bombs of the Chinese army were like a nightmare, and the Chinese army under Moscow had not yet carried out a serious siege of the city, and a third of Moscow had already been hit by fire.

There was also the bloody and cruel army of extermination, which made the Russian nobles tremble when they thought of the two rows of Chinese soldiers.

At this time, a group of captives were released and brought to Alexei I, and as long as they opened Moscow, welcomed the Chinese army into the city, and then concluded an alliance, the Chinese army would withdraw.

From then on, with the Ob River as the boundary, the Chinese Dynasty was willing to absorb Tsarist Russia as a vassal state to protect them from being bullied by other countries.

The tsar has been expanding and accumulating in the past few years, and he is already secretly plotting to become emperor, and now the title of tsar is not an emperor, but only the king of the federation of tsarist Russia.

From an emperor to the king of a vassal state, Alexei I, of course, was not reconciled, but the situation was stronger than people, and he had to consider this opinion put forward by the Chinese army.

The pressure from the nobles made Alexei I unable to hold on, and finally accepted Xia Wanchun's conditions half a month later.

On this day, the city gate of Moscow slowly opened, Xia Wanchun, the commander of the Jingbei Army, led his troops to guard outside the city, and Zhang Huangyan took the translator of the Siyi Pavilion and entered the city to sign a contract.

In the Kremlin, the two sides signed the Sino-Russian armistice pact, also known as the Moscow Alliance.

Tsarist Russia provoked the war and compensated the Chinese Dynasty with 3 million taels of gold and 10 million taels of silver. Until the arrears are paid, the Chinese army will be stationed outside Moscow to monitor the payment of compensation.

It also stipulates that the Ob River is an inland river of the Chinese Dynasty, and both banks are the territory of the Chinese Dynasty, and Tsarist Russia is not allowed to enter it at will;

Tsarist Russia became a vassal state of the Chinese Dynasty, paying tribute every year, and was not allowed to hinder the trade between the merchants on the border of the Chinese Dynasty and the merchants of Tsarist Russia, and reduced tariffs to the normal level of continental European countries.

Such a humiliating contract did not win the indignation of the whole country of Tsarist Russia, but the surviving nobles thanked God for giving them a chance to live.

Many of the nobles who were killed were their relatives, and thank God that they were born in the west.

Zhang Huangyan walked out of the Kremlin in a daze, still not believing that this rather tough country had signed a somewhat harsh contract so quickly.

What he didn't expect was that His Majesty, who was far away in Jinling, would scare the courage of all Tsarist Russians with a single word.

After the slaughter, how can there be nobles who are not afraid, and then give them some sweetness, this is the correct way to fight this battle.

Now in the hearts of these Tsarist Russian nobles, they definitely don't want to continue to defend the city and fight to the death, so that the wealth they have accumulated in several lifetimes will become war reparations.

Three million taels of gold is not a small amount, not to mention ten million taels of silver.

Zhang Huangyan sighed, shook his head and said, "I knew it earlier, I reported it a little more, I didn't expect them to agree so simply." ”

After entering Moscow, the task of this battle is basically completed, and the only thing that is uncertain is whether His Majesty is satisfied.

Xia Wanchun didn't want to continue fighting, but Hou Xuan said that Moscow must take it.

For this sentence, Xia Wanchun simply resorted to the tactic of persuading surrender, accompanied by the massacre some time ago, which made this tactic seem to be twice the result with half the effort.

The aristocrats of Tsarist Russia, who had been frightened by the massacre, really did not want to be wiped out like their relatives and friends in the East.

Finally, the door of Moscow opened, and the army also entered it, and the combat mission assigned by Hou Xuanyan was basically completed.

The next thing to do is to maximize the benefits of the war and prepare to withdraw the troops.
