Chapter 435 The First Sino-Russian Peace Treaty

"Bastard! He's blackmail! They're blackmailing! ”

Alexander II naturally disagreed, it was impossible to carve out so much land at once.

Siberia is different from the Far East and the Kazakh steppe, this is a plain, a fertile land, not a very barren land, how can he give it.

Negotiations were suspended, but the rebels became more and more serious, more and more serfs joined the rebels, and the rebels began to attack the surrounding cities and expand their sphere of influence.

Alexander II's troops from St. Petersburg and Ukraine could not defeat the rebels, but the imperial army sympathized, and some people defected to the rebels.

Alexander II agreed to continue negotiations with China, and also wanted to grind Siberia and gain some strategic points for a future attack on Siberia.

But in response to that sentence, what you can't get on the battlefield, don't want to get it politically, Zeng Jize, who was instructed by Yang Dongfangxin, said: "If your country is unwilling to talk and has no sincerity for cooperation, then we will talk to the principal in Moscow, and I think they will agree without hesitation." ”

Yes, this is like stepping on a cat's tail, and when the news reached Kazan, Alexander II was so angry that he slammed the table: "Give!" Give them, sign with Huaguo, and wait for us to destroy the rebels and retake Siberia when we come back! ”

The Chinese army cooperated with the rebels, which was the last thing he wanted, and if that happened, the great empire would be destroyed.

The peace treaty was soon signed, and Tsarist Russia recognized the return of the east of the Ural Mountains to China, relinquished its sovereignty over the Kazakh steppe, Siberia, the Far East, and Alaska from the Ural Mountains to the east of the Caspian Sea, and did not pay reparations to each other. ”

Stamped with the emperor's seals of the two countries, all the troops of the Southern Military Region of the Chinese army returned to Guangzhou on the same day.

The Eastern Military District also withdrew two-thirds of its troops in the following days to avoid causing massive frostbite and non-combat attrition before the cold winter set in completely.

When he learned that the Chinese troops in the Ural Mountains were all southern troops, Alexander II regretted that the treaty had been signed early, but the Chinese army retreated so simply, which also made the Russian army breathe a sigh of relief, and also relieved the troops to the west, and began to encircle and suppress the rebels on three sides, carrying out a vigorous civil war.

In 1867, the year of war in the empire was not much, but it was a great year, not only unified the original territory, pacified the northeast, but also expelled the Tsarist forces to the west of the Ural Mountains, and the territory was tripled, which was a year worth celebrating.

The war ended before the end of the year, and all the armies were able to rest, and after a good year, the people were able to recuperate from the devastation of the war in the previous years, and the country developed rapidly, and the river basins were dredged and navigable quickly.

The roads have also been widened and solidified, the road is smoother and more steady, the traffic has been greatly improved, and more importantly, industrial zones have been established in many places, and basic industries have been developed and the types are complete, and they are thriving.

In this year, two more railways were opened to traffic, Hangzhou through Nanjing, Chengdu through Zigong, and then to expand to the east of Sichuan along the deep.

In 1868, at the beginning of the new year, the emperor continued to issue edicts, and the Kazakh steppe and the northern part of Kokand were changed to Li Bai Province!

The emperor's explanation is! There is a river in the Tang Dynasty for the broken leaf river, there is an important town of broken leaf city by the river, according to legend, the great poet Li Bai was born here, so this province is Li Bai province, what is more disgusting is that he also ordered that the names of the cities in this province are changed to the name of Li Bai's poetry collection.

For example, Almaty will enter the wine market instead! Astana is a difficult city to drive! Petro Bapur changed to Chivalry City......

"This year, the main direction of the empire's attack is Nanyang! I hope you can understand and do a good job of supporting the work, and now General Liu, the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, will tell you about your plan! ”

Liu Yongfu stood up excitedly, in the past few years, the northern theater and the western theater have been fighting, and the most recent time the southwest theater has conquered cities and conquered India in Burma, and all the big and small achievements have been coveted.

Only they had nothing to do in the southern theater of operations, guarding Liangguang and Vietnam, and facing the vast sea in the south, they were already hungry and thirsty, so he said directly: "According to the information sent back from Europe, the Netherlands and Spain have long been unrecoverable, and in addition, His Majesty went to Europe and destroyed the only dozens of warships in the two countries, so there is no problem for our country to eat Luzon and Indonesia, even if it is no problem to drive away the British in this area."

In this sortie, we only need the Taiwan fleet to go south to cooperate, and on the ground side, our Southern Military Region is sufficient to deal with it. ”

"No problem, as long as the military spending can be done, if you lack ships and ships, the Northern Military Region will be transferred casually! By the way, Commander Liu caught the natives and sent more to the northeast, there is a shortage of roads here! Tie Thirteen said generously.

Zuo Zongtang also said: "After the beginning of spring, Western Zhou Province is also extremely short of manpower to build roads, and I also want the natives, those white people are not good at working ......!" ”

Li Xiongxiong also said: "That Liu Er, we are old friends!" Our southwest region is all mountains, and opening tunnels is the most painful manpower, so get more natives to come over! I'm still waiting to build the road to the plateau. ”

In the end, Zhu Dawu sighed and said: "Even if I am on the plateau, those natives will not survive if they are sent up!" ”

"Since everyone agrees, the southern theater of operations will be expanded to the south, but don't provoke the British and let them fight in India for a year." Yang Dongfang finally made a decision, but at this time, a weak voice came out.

"It's not! That...... Boss, what about our Eastern Theater of Operations? "Li He is gone, it would be nonsense to say that the Southern Theater has nothing to do, Xiao Qi is dry in the Mekong River, and they have wars every year, and they have a lot of provinces in the Eastern Theater, but there is no development externally.

At a glance to the east, there is a Japanese country, and it is still TM three points in the civil war, and it cannot be interfered with.

If you want to say that the Eastern Theater is the real adopted son of the stepmother, there is nothing to do.

"Hehehe......!"

Everyone laughed, omitting a string of hehehe!

"Laugh at you guys! I'm laughing at me and you for changing the position of theater commander! Li He showed a sinister face, and everyone put away their laughter, speaking of which, this thing will be the most damn bad.

Sure enough, Yang Dongfang said: "It makes sense, the commander of the theater really can't stay still all the time, let's rotate it in three or five years." As for the Eastern Theater of Operations, didn't I let your people fight once in Western Zhou Province the year before last? ”

Li He only said aggrievedly: "The boss is borrowing, is it borrowing, or there is no interest......!" ”

Yang Dongfang touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said to Liu Yongfu: "Why don't you cooperate with the Eastern Theater." ”

Li He smiled and looked at Liu Yongfu expectantly, as if to say, Lao Liu, we are old brothers, pull brothers.

Liu Yongfu had no choice but to say: "Okay, you can let the people in the Eastern Theater attack together, but ...... However, our troops have captured the cities and major ports, and those natives in the deep mountains will be handed over to the brothers in the eastern theater of operations! After all, they have experience in mountain warfare. ”

"Poof!"

"Lao Liu! Count you ruthless! Li He suffered a dark loss, but he didn't expect Liu Yongfu to be so unkind. Eat the meat yourself, leave the bones for yourself, Liu Yongfu spreads his hands with a pair of do you like it, you play a scoundrel, can't I?

Yang Dongfang asked them to sit down and said with a smile: "Fatty, I'll help you come up with an idea to make your small life comfortable!" Although I said that I won't let you move the Wa Kingdom, your East China Sea Fleet can go over and wander around, recruit some Japanese samurai, and then brainwash them and send them to the island ......! ”

"Hey, hey, hey, it's still the boss who loves me the most!" The fat man immediately understood Yang Dongfang's intentions.

Aboriginal playing aboriginal hemp, this is interesting! Our imperial army is a division of benevolence and righteousness. Besides, there are a lot of Japanese people, and there are still 30 million after 10 million deaths, which is not good, and we have to continue to die.
