Like a bulky and greedy polar bear, the Russian Empire came from the plains of Eastern Europe, crossed the Ural Mountains, and opened its bloody maw to the vast expanse of Siberia. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Blood, repression and killing.

If the symbol of a country is the symbol of the whole nation, the "face" of a country, and to a large extent, it can reflect the character of a nation and its national value orientation, then the symbol of Tsarist Russia, the double-headed eagle of the era of Ivan the Terrible, looked east on one side and west on the other.

The west is the principalities of Europe, and the east is the vast land of Asia, full of gold, and the eagle, as a ferocious and astute animal, looks around vigilantly, silently before attacking its prey, waiting for an opportunity to move, and attacking at any time, which is not the truest portrayal of Tsarist Russia.

The Russians are the most greedy, and they pay attention to reality, and the so-called reality is only every inch of land under their feet, even if it is full of blood and violence.

If not, where did the approximately 1.5 million square kilometers of land that the Qing Dynasty had encroached upon in later generations go?

It is not the United Kingdom, which was the first to come from the sea, nor the United States, which is a rising star of Western colonization, but Russia who has always been on the sidelines, because the Russians are the most realistic, and of course, in addition to the land, others are also not refused.

They are vigilant on the sidelines, waiting for an opportunity to move, and once they find a flaw, they will attack with lightning in an instant, bite it, and never let go, this is the Russians.

......

In addition to the so-called friendly trade, the purpose of the Romanov dynasty here is to send envoys to the East, and the fertile land of the Far East can be said to be the ultimate goal of this group of greedy people.

And the connection with Houjin is only the first step to achieve this goal.

At this moment, despite a few large sips of spirits, Hougolovin still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, after all, he had grown up in the court since childhood, traveled to various European countries, and even visited Rome, and met the Pope, even if the Patriarch and the Pope of Rome did not get along with each other in old age, it can also show the breadth of the Marquis's experience and the boldness of his character.

Faced with what Huang Taiji said at the moment, Marquis Golovin naturally understood what he meant, after all, he had also said before that the Russian Empire would provide Huang Taiji with firearms, and Houjin would allow Russians to trade freely and duty-free, and even said that it was the establishment of an Orthodox church.

It's just that talking about deals after drinking is not in accordance with the rules for them Russians, and the specific matters of this negotiation must be clearly drawn one by one at the negotiation table.

But Huang Taiji is ruthless, for the sake of trading with the Russians, even his own generals can be abandoned, although it is speculation, but for the Marquis Golovin, such a person is undoubtedly terrible, but Golovin understands that if there is really no explanation here, they will never leave so easily.

However, if this is negotiated, it will undoubtedly be an alliance under the city for the Marquis Golovin, and if all the firearms from the trade are handed over at this moment, Golovin does not dare to guarantee whether his mission can safely leave the territory of the Houjin.

"Oh, my noble Khan Majesty! In the name of God, we Russians are trustworthy! However, His Majesty the Khan, our firearms are not here at the moment, but in order to show my sincerity, this musket is a gift to His Majesty the Khan! ”

"Oh."

Hearing what Marquis Golovin said, Huang Taiji frowned slightly, but the Russians did not bring firearms at the first time, but it was also expected.

Seeing a short gun handed over by Golovin, Huang Taiji ordered the guards on the side to take it, and played with it in his hand.

Golovin handed over a short-barreled flintlock pistol, this firearm was the Spanish needle-impact flintlock pistol improved by the Frenchman Mahan in the middle of the sixteenth century, this gun was improved on the basis of the revolver musket, the clockwork wheel was removed, a flint was clamped on the jaws of the hammer, and a blow anvil was provided on the side of the fire hole.

However, because of the limited craftsmanship and because the Russian Empire lagged behind the European countries of the same period, this flintlock pistol was only officially used by the middle and upper echelons of the Russian Empire.

During this time, Golovin presented the emperor with a flintlock pistol, but it was also a generous act.

And after some playing, Huang Taiji didn't have much pleasure, what he needed was the powerful artillery of the Ming Dynasty, not these pocket-sized and exquisite tricks.

It's just that he also understands today's events, Golovin has already expressed his sincerity, and if he continues, he may break up unhappily, so Huang Taiji smiled.

"Lord Marquis gave up his beloved things, but Ben Khan was deeply moved, but the firearms that Ben Khan needed were those heavy artillery, and I hope that Lord Marquis will fulfill his previous promise earlier, so that Ben Khan's promise to your Russian Empire will be fulfilled sooner, so that it is convenient for everyone!"

"Oh, what His Majesty Khan said is extremely true, but the bronze cannon that His Majesty Khan needs is too cumbersome, and it is difficult to cross this damn Siberia here, but rest assured, His Majesty the Tsar has brought a cannon caster on this trip, if His Majesty the Khan can sign an agreement with our Russian Empire as soon as possible, then this cannon casting can begin!"

Hearing the Marquis Golovin say this, Huang Taiji's eyes suddenly lit up, although there is no artillery, but there is a cannon caster artillery, it is only a matter of time, to be precise, the value of this artilleryman is far higher than a few artillery.

"The Marquis is worthy of being a friend of my Dajin, well, according to what the Marquis said, tomorrow my Dajin will sign an agreement with your Russian Empire, what does the Marquis think?"

I thought that it would take some saliva to sign the treaty, but what Golovin never expected was that he would agree to it just by virtue of an intermediate cannon caster.

"Oh, thank the Lord Almighty! Thank you for the generosity of His Majesty the Khan! God will bless His Majesty the Khan to unify thousands of miles of rivers and mountains as soon as possible, and drink the horses of the Central Plains! Tomorrow, our Russian envoys will make it convenient for your envoys to make a contract, so that we can start work as soon as possible and cast cannons for the Great Khan! ”

After that, Marquis Golovin raised his glass again and thanked Huang Taiji.

"I also hope that the Marquis will not forget the 'Ula City'!"

However, just as Marquis Golovin had just finished a glass of wine, there was a gloomy sound in his ears, and when he raised his head, revealing a slightly frightened look, he found that Huang Taiji not far away was staring at him with a smile on his face.

It makes people unconsciously a little panicked.

......

The next day, it was a sunny day, but for Marquis Golovin, the mood was not as bright as this sunshine, because it was in the agreement signed by Houjin.

Although the Russians were promised to open an Orthodox church in Shengjing, the priest could not leave the church, and appeared at will in the Jurchen or Han Chinese gathering places, and if he violated it, he was immediately deported to his country.

At the same time, the business travelers who came to Houjin Tongshang could not travel freely every year, and only came to trade in spring and autumn twice a year.

Marquis Golovin still wanted to argue, but the Minister of Later Jin Sonny didn't say anything, and every time he thought of Huang Taiji's words, Golovin felt a little chilly.

"This damn Cossack!"

"But the damn Huang Taiji, how can you be so successful in casting cannons, but it seems that there are other plans for trade!"
