On the other side, Chen Lanbin also understood what was going on.

He didn't expect that the envoys of Tsarist Russia, who came from all over the world to negotiate, would make such a big oolong, and even the representatives behind them were replaced, so how could they negotiate with them again, and who else could they represent?

But this is fine, then there is no need to negotiate with Tsarist Russia at all, just continue to move westward and seize territory. Chen Lanbin is looking forward to where the Western Expedition led by the righteous king Shi Dakai has been captured.

Just as Chen Lanbin was wandering, a soldier quietly came to his side and whispered to him that Wu Ruxiao, the foreign minister of the back hall, had asked him to come over for a while to discuss.

But Wu Ruxiao also understood the ins and outs of the matter, and knew that the negotiating envoys of Tsarist Russia could not represent Tsarist Russia at all, so he called Chen Lanbin over to give instructions when the two Tsarist envoys were not masterless.

Wu Ruxiao asked the soldiers in the back hall to quickly find a newspaper that had been assassinated by Tsar Alexander II and the Polish governor-in-chief, Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich, some time ago, and send it to the Russian envoy to show it and completely destroy the other party. Only then did he turn his head and said to Chen Lanbin: "Director Chen, although those two envoys of Tsarist Russia are actually not envoys anymore, after all, they are still from Tsarist Russia. Moreover, the guy named Dugamery had previously served as the governor of Siberia, and he was a count, and he was also a nobleman of Tsarist Russia, and whether the tsar who authorized him as a plenipotentiary envoy was dead, and who the new tsar was, and whether he was willing to accept the terms he had negotiated, we didn't have to pay attention, and if they wanted, we would continue to negotiate peace with them. ”

Chen Lanbin was a little strange: "Lord Ministry, why do you know that these two Russians can no longer represent Tsarist Russia, why do you still negotiate with them?" ”

Wu Ruxiao smiled: "No, no, who said that they can't represent Tsarist Russia?" What if the two would-be Tsars, in order to compete for the position of Tsar, advertised themselves as the heirs of the previous Tsar, and thus were willing to accept all that the former Tsar had, including the results of the negotiations between the two men?

Besides, even if the new tsar does not recognize the results of the negotiations between the two, it is nothing, and the big deal is equivalent to not talking. Moreover, now it is the dominant power of our Chinese empire, and it is not us who is anxious! King Yi's army of the western expedition will surely come to a great victory after a while, and then the tsarist Russia will be anxious to negotiate an armistice with us. ”

Chen Lanbin immediately understood, nodded and said, "My subordinates understand what Lord Ministries mean!" Negotiations are just a continuation of the war, and everything is still decided by the war on the front. Since these two envoys from Tsarist Russia are here, we are not in a hurry, they are in a hurry, and when they take the initiative to ask us to negotiate, we will take the opportunity to offer some harsh conditions. If the other party does not agree, it will be as if they have not come, and if the other party agrees, it means that Tsarist Russia must fulfill the treaty, otherwise, the army of our Chinese Empire can help them forcibly fulfill the treaty. ”

"Not bad! Director Chen is right! Wu Ruxiao smiled a little sinisterly, and said: "For these two Russians, use this news to destroy their will and make them very frustrated, start negotiations." Even if they don't agree, you can use some means to force them to agree!

And, through them, you can force the British! Let them influence each other and seize the maximum benefits for our Chinese Empire! ”

Chen Lanbin suddenly understood. At this time, in the meeting hall of the front hall, there was a wail like a beast, and Wu Ruxiao hurriedly asked Chen Lanbin to rush back to the hall.

However, it turned out to be two envoys of Tsarist Russia, Dugameli and Babkov, who saw the Western newspaper about the assassination of the Tsar a few months ago sent by the soldiers in the Western Pavilion, completely collapsed in the hall, crying and wailing, like a mourner, and lying limply on the ground.

Burbulon and Bao Ling on the side were a little embarrassed, and Burbullon, who was originally a little gloating, didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.

And Bao Ling has a feeling of sadness for the rabbit and the fox. He also learned about the fact that Tsar Alexander II and his brilliant brother, Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich, were so heroic that they had been assassinated, and that the huge Russian empire was about to fall into civil strife and decline. Thinking of its own British Kingdom, from the original rampant British Empire, to the appearance of still seeking peace and negotiation with Eastern countries, is it not a desolate scene? If it weren't for the fact that it was a constitutional monarchy, I am afraid that it would not be much better than the Tsarist Empire.

After about half an hour, seeing that Dugameli and Babkov had slowly calmed down, and Chen Lanbin didn't care at all, Burbulon had to take the initiative to stand up and say: "Why don't we get to the point and officially start the tripartite peace talks." ”

Bao Ling naturally can't ask for it. Chen Lanbin looked at the two envoys of Tsarist Russia who were a little embarrassed, and said: "The two gentlemen, please mourn, we admire the loyalty and patriotism of the two of them!" But now that things have happened, it is all the more important to uphold the will of the emperor of your country and complete his task. ”

Dugameli nodded and became very sensible: "Director Chen is right, let's talk peacefully." ”

Chen Lanbin waved his hand and asked people to rearrange it. The so-called negotiation table is actually very simple, it is a patchwork of two square tables, four directions, Chen Lanbin sits on the main seat without resignation, Burbulon sits opposite as a mediator, and Bao Ling, Dugameli, and Babkov are only divided into two sides, sitting on both sides, as if they are being judged.

Chen Lanbin coughed and said: "Before the negotiation, this official took the liberty to remind you that we regard your envoy as having full authority to make the decision, and all your signatures and promises must be recognized by your country and honored in the future, otherwise, don't blame our Chinese Empire for directly honoring it by force." Just in time, Minister Bourblon can be a witness! ”

After speaking, Chen Lanbin slapped his palms directly, and several deacons and soldiers of the Western Pavilion who had been waiting for a long time presented several documents and handed them to each negotiator present.

"This is the condition of my armistice in the Chinese Empire! As long as we agree, our Chinese Empire will immediately stop the war, otherwise, we are ready to use war means to achieve this condition! Chen Lanbin went against the habit of normal negotiations, directly and arbitrarily and unreasonably put forward demands, and landed them on paper, creating a posture of agreeing even if he did not agree.

This made Bourblon very embarrassed, and when he opened the documents in his hand, there were actually two armistice memoranda, one between the Chinese Empire and Britain, and the other with Tsarist Russia.

The first is the "Sino-Russian Armistice Memorandum", which has only two pages in total, and the first page directly demands: first, the Tsarist Russian Empire unconditionally surrenders to the Chinese Empire and is willing to bear all the losses of the Chinese Empire caused by the war; Second, Tsarist Russia admitted its mistake in waging the war, openly admitted its defeat to the whole world, and ceded all the territories east of it to the Chinese Empire with the Ural Mountains and the Ural River as the boundary line; Third, Tsarist Russia must urge all Russian Cossacks to evacuate the Ural Mountains and the areas east of the Ural River within a year, and hand over the main generals of the Cossack armies that invaded the Chinese Empire twice to the Chinese Empire.
