The happiest person was actually Chen Lanbin, who had just learned the news of the great victory of the Western Expedition from Wu Ruxiao and Burbulon. Now it's okay, there is no need to negotiate with the Russians anymore, I originally thought that I could talk about it, and it didn't matter if I couldn't talk, but as soon as the news came, I didn't need it at all.

In fact, most of the conditions that need to be negotiated have been obtained directly through the Western Expeditionary Army, but they were forcibly occupied in this way and have not been recognized by Tsarist Russia. But Chen Lanbin thought that as long as the military strength of the Chinese Empire's westward expeditionary army was strong enough, there was no need for the approval of the other party at all, on the contrary, even if it was recognized by the other party, what if it was not strong and the other party became strong, it would be like the original Tsarist Russia to the outer northeast and Siberia of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, when the envoy of Tsarist Russia, Dugamery, tried to return to his normal appearance, he bowed to him and Wu Ruxiao, and said: "Lord Wu, Lord Chen, we generally agree with the "Sino-Russian Armistice Memorandum" proposed by you just now, Lord Chen, but we also ask Lord Wu and Lord Chen to make it clear that your country's army will immediately stop and continue to invade our country, cease the war and ceas, and return the prisoners!" ”

Before Wu Ruxiao could speak, Chen Lanbin said directly: "Mr. Dugameli, you yelled at me just now, saying that you would never agree to the requirements of the Sino-Russian Armistice Memorandum. It seems that our memorandum will not be signed. Anyway, the war is still coming quickly, and there is no need to say anything. ”

Wu Ruxiao also nodded and agreed: "What Director Chen said is good! Since the Russian envoy has not yet fully agreed to the terms of the memorandum, there is nothing to talk about, so as not to waste everyone's time. Besides, this gentleman can't prove that you are the emissary of Russia! ”

Seeing this situation, Bourblon didn't know that these two treacherous and cunning officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire were selling Guanzi, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said peace: "Lord Wu, Lord Chen, why don't you give Mr. Dugameli another chance to see how his sincerity is?" ”

Wu Ruxiao took the opportunity to go down the steps, nodded and said, "Since Mr. Bourblon has come forward, let's listen to the sincerity of this Mr. Dugamel!" ”

Dugamery glanced at Burblon gratefully, he had already found that Wu Ruxiao was the one who spoke with weight, so he respectfully said to Wu Ruxiao: "Lord Wu, the conditions of the memorandum issued by your country are indeed extremely harsh, but in order to express our sincerity, I, Dugamery, am willing to agree to the following conditions on behalf of the Russian Empire: First, the Russian Empire will admit defeat in the war, publicly announce its surrender to your country, and bear the losses caused by the war; Second, Russia's enemy country officially announced that it would transfer all the area east of the Ural Mountains, the Ural Mountains, at a price of 500 million holy dollars, to your country to compensate for the losses caused; Third, the main generals of the Cossack army who invaded your country twice, the Russian Empire is willing to provide more than 3 war criminals of the major general or higher to be tried by your country; Fourth, all the major treaty ports of the Russian Empire were open to the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire practiced most-favored-nation tariff treatment; Fifth, the Russian Empire provided an additional payment of 500,000,000,000 holy dollars for grain, cotton, leather, livestock, and other materials, which were to be provided to the Chinese Empire within 10 years as war reparations; Sixth, the Russian Empire is willing to provide 2 unmarried women of the imperial family to marry your country. ”

Wu Ruxiao didn't expect that this former Siberian governor named Dugameli would be so bold, and directly agreed to almost all the conditions listed by Chen Lanbin on the memorandum, and went around in a circle, seemingly assigning the Ural Mountains and the vast area east of the Ural River to the Chinese Empire, and at the same time making 500 million holy yuan, and then deducting 500 million holy yuan with the goods of grain, leather and other agricultural and animal husbandry products, as if agreeing to the request of 1 billion holy yuan for compensation required in the memorandum, but in fact, But it saved Tsarist Russia 1 billion holy dollars in indemnity. This trick is very powerful.

However, Wu Ruxiao is not a vegetarian either, not to mention that the initiative is all in the hands of the Chinese Empire!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dugamery, all the losses of our Chinese Empire written in the original memorandum, and the compensation at a discount of 1 billion holy dollars, was before the Western Expeditionary Army set out. But now the situation has changed, although our western expeditionary army has won a great victory, annihilating more than 100,000 troops of your country's field army, but it has also suffered serious losses, on the basis of the original losses, there has been a lot of increase, therefore, the war reparations have increased to 1.5 billion holy dollars.

And, Mr. Dugameli, what you said is that your country has ceded to us all the area east of the Ural River in the Ural Mountains at a price of 500 million holy dollars. Now that the area east of the Ural Mountains is in the hands of our army, what will you pay for? As for what you said about using grain, leather and other agricultural products to deduct the payment for goods, it is not impossible, but our Chinese empire is rich in products, and the price of these grain and other agricultural products will be very low, and the freight is extremely expensive, so we will suffer a great loss. Therefore, it is better to pay compensation with precious metals such as gold and silver, or goods approved by our side, such as steel, copper, minerals, etc., and of course, cotton and leather are also barely possible. Wu Ruxiao directly saw through the other party's calculations and offered the price mercilessly.

"You!" Babkov on the side was so angry that he almost jumped up, but he was held down by Dugamery. Du Gameli said to Wu Ruxiao with a smiling face: "Lord Wu, can you be more tolerant, you also know that Russia has always been poor, plus the defeat of the Crimean War and the fiasco of this war with your country, there is civil strife in the country, and now there is not much wealth at all, can you reduce it a little?" ”

"This, Mr. Dugameli, you know, our Chinese Empire has a large population, with a total population of nearly 500 million, even if it is a compensation of 1.5 billion holy yuan, it is everyone's turn, there are only 3 holy yuan, which is very few." Wu Ruxiao sighed: "Okay, I'll make my own opinion, and 1 billion of them will allow your country to use gold, silver, cotton, fur, livestock, iron and copper, minerals and other materials for deduction, for a period of 10 years." Another 500 million, also for a period of 10 years, will be compensated in currencies such as precious metals or pounds sterling francs.

By the way, even if a memorandum is signed, a formal armistice must be signed. Because of the long distance, in my opinion, it is better to sign it on the front line, which can also make the soldiers breathe a sigh of relief, and as soon as the armistice agreement is signed, the armistice can be officially armisted! In addition, we will be able to communicate with you again in your country! ”
