It's as if the generals had to cover their hearts after a victory that the monarch didn't want to see, and the monarch could only support them after winning such a victory.

In fact, by the time Zhou Lang received the information, the army had already advanced to Nizhny Novgorod, and the generals were eager to take advantage of the summer to take Moscow.

Speransky asked Zhou Lang again, and his purpose this time was not to hope that Zhou Lang would accept the peace sued by Tsarist Russia, but to hope that Zhou Lang could include the content of the Tsarist reform in the negotiations.

Zhou Langcai is too lazy to agree to these conditions, he does not really intend to help Russia reform, after all, the way of thinking of the Chinese is different for Westerners, the West likes to engage in civilization export, the Chinese hold their own code system in their hands, and the export of books is prohibited, so Zhou Lang is not interested in promoting the Chinese system in Russia and exporting civilization in India, that is because he knows that divided India will never have ambitions, but the Russians are different, really let Russia successfully abolish slavery, maybe in the short term they will bear the pain of reform, But twenty years later, it will really be a miraculous Russia.

Europe was soon united again, and although there was no Russia, the other countries, out of fear of Napoleon for more than a decade, cooperated like never before, and Britain, Prussia, and Austria each sent 180,000 troops to make up for the gap among the Russians.

At this time, Napoleon was a paper tiger, so the allies began to harden, unlike before, until the capture of Paris, they tried to force Napoleon to accept more egalitarian terms.

Now the three countries declared: "Bonaparte violated the agreement that determined his settlement on the island of Elba, destroying the only legitimate title reserved for him,...... Placing oneself outside the protection of the law and making it clear to the whole world that there can be neither peace nor a truce with him. ”

They were now the first to state that they would not make peace with France, that they would not recognize Napoleon's legitimacy, and that they would use all their resources to fight Napoleon.

Without waiting for the anti-French coalition to take action, Napoleon took the initiative to attack, and then another beautiful battle.

But his end is predestined, and even if he doesn't fail at Waterloo, there must be a battlefield such as Waterloo and Waterloo waiting to bury his glory.

It's just that the appeal and prestige of the French people gathering around him again with such a loud voice is really amazing, and with such prestige, it is really amazing that he has done things like this. It seems that as good as his military prowess is, as much as his political prowess is inferior.

At this time, the Russians have already begun peace talks, no peace talks will not work, the Chinese army has come to the city of Moscow, before Kutuzov's hyped Tatar generals are coming to Moscow, will once again put the Tatar yoke on the neck of the Russians The alarmist has come true, Kutuzov's propaganda at that time was to arouse the feelings of the Russian nation and make everyone rise up to resist, but now the Russians are really afraid, will they really be ruled by the Mongols and other Orientals for hundreds of years again? But can you resist? The Tsar's army of hundreds of thousands was defeated miserably.

Everywhere the army passed, a routine had been formed, destroying the estates of the nobles everywhere, handing over all the best land occupied by the nobles to the communes, and letting the serf communes distribute them themselves, and the village communities, as the social organization of the Russian countryside, have been continued and developed in a thousand-year-long history, have extremely strong vitality, and play a vital role in the development of Russian history.

These communes were elected elders, and of course they could not be as open and transparent as the elections of later generations, when truly fair elections could not be done even by the British, and the wind of bribery was pervasive in democracies. As a result, a group of families have been formed that have long monopolized the position of serf village elders, some families are dependent on the noble lords and consolidate their positions with the help of the lord's power, some families are because of the large number of people, with the factor of clan system, and most of the serfs with better family backgrounds rely on small favors to buy their neighbors and get these management positions, and these village elders are the ones who are really in charge of the rural society.

Previously, they were responsible for the noble landlords, the tsar and the state, helping them to collect taxes and military service.

Internally, they have the power to divide the land, and they are one of the largest in the village community. Exercising police duties, maintaining law and order in the villages, enforcing customary law norms, pursuing homeless people, fugitives, deserters, criminals, restricting peasants from going out, imposing fines for minor negligence, imposing forced labor on debtors who owe taxes, dealing with disputes between peasants, trying criminal offenses, etc.; They also act as a link between the church and the faithful, urging the villagers to fulfill their obligations to the church, taking care of the church, arranging religious life, taking care of the church and priests, holding religious festivals and ploughing ceremonies on time, and organizing its members to build churches. The Church and the elders relied on each other to rule over the peasants.

These people are similar to the Chinese gentry class, the real managers, rulers and protectors of the grassroots society, and it cannot be said that they only have a bad effect, without them the grassroots cannot function. The Chinese army directly handed over to them the power to distribute the land of the landlords, and those who dared to distribute it were distributed, and the prestige of the cowards was damaged.

In short, the passage of the Chinese army was a great shock to Russian serfdom, which the tsar had tried to avoid before, because serfdom was the cornerstone of Russian society. It is possible to change, but it is necessary to find an alternative to serfdom, otherwise it will cause great chaos. Just like China's rural society, after destroying the gentry class as the bottom elite and moral guidance, China's rural society began to quickly become tyrants and inferior gentry, and the government had to rely on those who spoke in the countryside to enjoy the flowers.

Because a relatively standardized rural society is the result of hundreds or thousands of years of Confucian moral education, this kind of destruction is difficult to build up through efficient modern management. Zhou Lang learned his lesson, and although he knew that the landlord class was not the one who supported him, he had always maintained the landlords' control over the countryside. Of course, the landlords, like the village elders in Russia, are not all good things, but since they have lived with the villagers for several lifetimes, they still have a bit of a spectrum, forming a customary law that has been passed down from generation to generation. If the landlords were really not things, it would be impossible for Zeng Guofan to use the landlords to suppress the peasant uprising.

Therefore, what the Chinese army is doing now is actually not really emancipating the serfs and turning them into free men, because it has not broken this traditional customary law.

But the common people recognized this customary law, so when the Chinese army handed over the property of the nobles to their elders for distribution, everyone felt that they had benefited. Later, when the Russian statesman Stolypin reformed, he wanted to privatize the land of the village community and distribute it to every household, but the result was widespread opposition. Because they are accustomed to the fact that land is regularly and equitably distributed according to traditional principles, rather than being given to private ownership.

Not only did the Chinese army not break this customary law, but also indirectly strengthened the power of the village elders, because after breaking the notice of the nobility, they were no longer responsible to the higher-ups, and they had the power to redistribute the assets of the landlords, especially those landlords who had always been the best land in the village community, and the good land owned by the landlords was extremely attractive to all the members, and it was an important power, and the elders who held the power of land distribution controlled almost everything in the village.

The strengthening of the village community system allowed the army to pass through without causing social unrest, but on the contrary, it could get some supplies from the village community and purchase materials with gold and silver, and the Russians got a lot of benefits.

The flow of gold and silver into the Russian market has even boosted the Russian economy, but when the Chinese bring gold and silver into Russia, the Russian government wants to take away the gold and silver and return it to the Chinese, of course, in the form of compensation.

China has spent nearly 800 million taels of silver on military spending, and in the last two years it is actually decreasing, because with the smooth transportation channels, a large proportion of the transportation costs in the most military expenditures are decreasing, and the transportation volume entrusted to the Jin merchants accounts for almost 80 percent, and marketization is always the lowest cost.

The reason why it was entrusted to the Jin merchants, this is Zhou Lang's national policy, it is necessary to exercise the large-scale organizational ability of these people, they can now provide for millions of troops, and in the future they will be able to transport the goods needed by millions of people to Russia, the war is only temporary, but commerce is eternal, the future world is the world of business war, he needs to cultivate the ability of Chinese merchants in all aspects.

Through the war, the Jin merchants figured out the trade routes to Russia, and through the same war, the state would win for them the right to enter the Russian trade.

The Russians could not fail to agree to the conditions of 800 million taels of reparations, unless they really intended to let the Chinese rule Russia, and could no longer organize effective resistance, and their collapse, like the collapse of Napoleon, could not be turned back unless the enemy country gave them time to recover.

But the negotiations remain difficult.

There were two negotiations, one between China and Russia, and the other between Speransky and Russia.

Speransky showed his loyalty to the Tsar and reported to the Tsar everything he had done so far, telling him that he was not rebelling. The tsar also praised him for not defecting to the enemy, but retaining administrative power for the Fatherland from the enemy in the event of enemy occupation.

The Tsar could not but praise Speransky, because he needed Speransky to hand over the occupied territories to him completely, even though he believed that Speransky's actions were defection to the enemy. It's as if Zhao Wen and other generals caused Zhou Lang a lot of trouble and ruined the big plan, but he still wants to make them heroes.

The Tsar could only promise Speransky to maintain the government and institutions he had established.

The Tsar had no choice in negotiating with China, and if he wanted to keep his power, he had to agree to the other party's demand for reparations.

But Russia really has no money, and the treasury is running out of rats.

China's solution is to borrow.

And it was to pull Britain together to borrow money and use Russian customs as collateral.
