Chapter 579: The Cheeky Man (Second Update)
Zou Degui refused to negotiate the conditions, but he had to see the treaty, and Iwakura Gushi and others could only ask for their magic weapon. Including Ito Hirobumi and others were fantasizing that as long as Zou Degui saw their legitimate treaty, he would have to recognize Japan's legitimate sovereignty over Sakhalin. Once Zou Degui recognized the legitimacy of Japan's sovereignty over Sakhalin, they would be able to reap great benefits from North Manchuria, even if they could not keep Sakhalin.
Zou Degui's thinking was completely different from that of the Japanese, and after listening to Iwakura Gushi's third demand, he completely rejected all the ideas of the Japanese. Goxinga's decision-making is still very wise, the Japanese are a bunch of insatiable maggots, and if they can't give them the slightest benefit, they have to trap them, starve them to death, and block them on that island where earthquakes occur every day. The reason why Zou Degui was obsessed with the treaty was entirely out of consideration for the imperial court, and he had to adjust his strategy according to the contract. It has nothing to do with him whether the Japanese die or not, but North Manchu must save the face of the imperial court at the moment, and a large area of land north of Heilongjiang is still waiting for new immigrants!
"What is this?" After seeing the thick treaty, Zou Degui almost ran away, almost strangling Iwakura Gushi on the opposite side.
The treaty provided by the Japanese was beautifully packaged and detailed, but it was not this thing that Zou Degui wanted. These damn treaties were all written in Russian and Japanese kanji, and the big seal was by no means the seal of the imperial court. Although Japanese kanji is also a subspecies of kanji, there are a large number of kana like ghost characters involved in it, and Zou Degui generally knows it, but he can't understand what it means at all. But these are not the point, the point is that these things have nothing to do with the Qing Dynasty and Northern Manchuria.
"This is the second year of Ansei, that is, the first year of your country's Xianfeng, and our Japanese Empire and Russia signed the "Rilu Peace Treaty". The treaty stipulates that the south of the Kuril Islands shall be owned by Japan, and the north of the Kuril Islands shall be owned by Russia, and Sakhalin Island shall remain in its original state without any separate national borders. In addition, the land inhabited by the Yamato people and the Ezo people is owned by Japan, and the borders of other countries are uncertain for the time being. Iwakura Gushi picked up the treaty and explained it to Zou Degui one by one.
"This is the third year of Keio, that is, the sixth year of your country's Tongzhi, and after Hakodate pursued Hidemi Koide's visit to Russia for negotiations, China and the Russian side signed the "Interim Regulations on Sakhalin Island," which stipulates: Russia will cede to Japan the four islands of the Russian Kuril Islands, including Defu Island, and allow Japanese fishermen to live on Sakhalin Island, and the national border between the two countries will continue to be bounded by the 48th parallel of north latitude, and the original state of mixed living will continue." Iwakura triumphantly cited the second one.
"This "Huatai Anti-Rules" was also signed in the third year of Keio, and clearly defines Huatai Island as a place jointly administered by Japan and Russia." Iwakura Goshina opened the last treaty, and he felt that Zou Degui should be speechless.
Zou Degui was indeed speechless, Northern Manchurian couldn't find out whether the Qing Dynasty had signed a treaty with Japan, and it could be said that it was excusable, and the imperial court didn't even know whether it had signed a treaty or not, but it was a waste of dim sum. Since the news that the Japanese said that they had a treaty reached Changchun, Changchun has been asking Luan Yu in Beijing to communicate with the imperial court, trying to find out whether the imperial court has committed any crimes, but the imperial court has not been able to figure it out, and it is impossible to say why. Seeing that the imperial court made two mistakes, and it had become a habit in Changchun, it was customary to think that the imperial court was in the affairs of Japan, so he asked the Japanese to negotiate. Knowing that the so-called treaties of the Japanese were these things, Chen Bingxiang and Cao Meng had already violently cleared Sakhalin.
"Mr. Iwakura, what do these things have to do with our Northern Manchurian and Qing Imperial Court! What do these nonsense have to do with us Chinese? Looking at the triumphant Iwakura Gushi and his group, Zou Degui wanted to whip them.
"This is a legal treaty negotiated between the two countries!" Iwakura Gushi noticed that Zou Degui's expression was very bad, and hurriedly lifted a few more treaties.
"Sakhalin Island is our Chinese territory, what does it matter to us about these treaties you signed with the Russians?" Zou Degui was confused by Iwakura Gushi, where did this guy get his confidence.
"When we signed these treaties, the island was under the control of our Empire of Japan and the Russian Empire, and the treaties we signed were certainly valid!" Iwakura has a vision that Zou Degui is very unreasonable, and he is very aggrieved.
"You thief, a robber, rushed to our Chinese's house, and then signed an agreement to divide our Chinese's things, and you are actually kind enough to say that it works! Do you want me to admit these things? "Zou Degui didn't understand the logic of Iwakura Gushi at all.
"Of course this works, we actually controlled this Huatai Island at that time, you Chinese are not on the island!" Iwakura is still vibrating.
"I've never seen anyone so brazen!" Zou Degui, who had a good temper, was already angry.
"The process of signing our treaties is all in accordance with international law, and these treaties are legal and valid. Even if you disagree, the island should be counted as a disputed territory! Iwakura Gushi ignored Zou Degui's abuse.
"Sakhalin Island has been our Chinese territory since ancient times, there is no dispute, don't mess with the names of our places!" Zou De's hands began to tremble, if it weren't for his self-respecting identity, he especially wanted to appreciate the slap in the face of Iwakura.
"We don't agree with you, but we can further discuss the issue of Huatai Island, and if your country can accept the conditions we just proposed, we can cede the southern part of Huatai Island!" Iwakura Gushi didn't feel the danger, and he was still holding on to his dream five steps.
"There's nothing more to talk about, please leave my North Manchurian border within two days, we don't welcome shameless guests like you. As for the Japanese who are still stationed in the southern part of Sakhalin, I ask you to recall them to Japan within ten days, which is also the last restraint of our northern Manchuria. If these invaders remain on Sakhalin after ten days, the General's army will defend the sacred territory of Northern Manchuria and destroy all enemies who dare to challenge the General's authority! "Zou Degui is too lazy to waste saliva with these shameless guys.
"You are an invasion, the southern part of Huatai Island is the territory of the Great Japanese Empire!" Iwakura Gushi was also angry, and his beautiful dreams were all shattered in an instant.
"Good! I will add that the Kuril Islands are also all part of our territory, and you have to get out of it too. Moreover, in view of the rarity and greed of the new Japanese government, and the fact that there has already been an authoritative provocation against the generals, our North Manchurian state will adjust its attitude towards the situation in Japan. If you are able to pacify the Tohoku feudal domains within three years, I am sure that the Shogun will not mind returning to the foot of Mt. Fuji with the Emperor of your country! "Zou Degui, the deputy minister of North Manchuria, is not easy to mess with, Iwakura Gu dares to yell and shout, Zou Degui dares to calculate whether the ammunition reserves of North Manchukuo are enough to fight a war to destroy the sun.
