Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Chapter 597 Hong Renji seemed to understand Lin Haifeng's intentions. Finally stretched his brow......
Pass. As a member of the Taiping Day 1 visiting delegation. Although it is now in public. They will also rejoice that relations between the two countries have begun to normalize. Even excited. But when it comes time to close the door. Many people are still very puzzled.
Hong Ren, who occupies the important position of deputy envoy for this visit. It's one of them.
In order to ensure that there is a good external environment in the country. In order to devote ourselves wholeheartedly to the restoration and construction of the country. He sought to normalize diplomatic relations with the great power of the Celestial Empire, Tsarist Russia. For this purpose. Give the other party some sweetness appropriately. Don't push the other person into a dead end. Apparently a necessary tool. This was also after a heated debate among the leadership of the new Celestial Empire government before leaving Beijing. The total reached. Although Hong Ren at that time was also in favor of adopting this method and method. But when you really make concessions one by one. He couldn't help but be a little dazed. Or rather, remorse.
I really don't know if I don't see it. One 1 only understood. Before coming to Pieburg, he "walked all the way". Plus what I've seen and heard in Fort Badge for a few months. I didn't know much about Tsarist Russia in the past. Hong Ren, who also regarded this Tsarist Russia as a real tiger, found out. It turns out that this so-called "tiger" is nothing more than that.
So. He was at a loss. When I was in Beijing. Therefore, a policy of almost appeasement will be set towards Tsarist Russia. It was all because of the active initiatives of Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan. Because in the government of the Celestial Empire. No one knows this Tsarist Russia better than they do. But he was not in vain. It was clear that what he saw in Tsarist Russia was nothing more than a "bear" covered with wounds. Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan, who have always been overwhelmed by Mount Tai and can't bend their waists. But it just treats it as a tiger that can't be cured?
For nearly two hundred years. Tsarist Russia has repeatedly violated China. His crimes are not only too numerous to mention, but also the huge damage and loss of property that have been brought to China and his surname. It's even more inconsiderate. In particular, the army of the Japanese Dynasty had swept across the vast area north of the Yellow River. The Manchu colonists were about to enter the tomb. If it weren't for the armed men of this Tsarist Russia. The mighty Celestial Red Army will suffer even smaller losses. Shorter time. Accomplish the great cause of the liberation of the whole of China. Can this loss be made up for with limited money?
Tsarist Russia should compensate for the losses it has brought to the country. This is also the consensus of the government and people of the Celestial Empire. What I didn't expect was that. In exchange for the area west of the Lena River becoming a pending district where "citizens from both sides are temporarily allowed to live together" and "neither side will send troops", Lin Haifeng actually persuaded everyone. Waived the claim for compensation.
"This is a practice that will be infamous for thousands of years!"
The decision to waive the claim for compensation was made before it was made. Hong Ren said. After making it. He still said so. The two sides exchanged ministers. He has no objection. An excuse to help the other side reorganize the army. In fact, he wanted to sell weapons to the other party, which seemed acceptable to him. Even though Lin Haifeng privately promised the other party to help them build a new rifled rifle production plant. He barely made it. He knows. In this regard, Lin Haifeng is a human sperm. After all, he wouldn't do the stupid thing of raising an apprentice to starve his master to death.
But. After the defeat of the small country in Echa, Du gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and agreed to pay various war indemnities to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government in 20 years, totaling 10,000 taels of silver. Plus one of the interest years there is. If you count it, you will never be able to pay off this account. And in this Tsarist Russia in front of him, if he can't get back the slightest reparation. Nothing can be said. Even if no one scolds now, what about ten or twenty years from now? What about after thirty?
Although everything is now almost a thing. Mr. Hong Ren still has the obligation to remind Lin Haifeng again. Lin Haifeng is a good person. Capable. He really didn't want Lin Haifeng to be stained because of this.
"Brother Haifeng. I have had Mr. Huang privately. For now. Do we have the strength to fight them fundamentally and thoroughly? Mr. Huang told me that although there was a chance. ”
looked at Hong Ren's solemn expression. Lin Feng thought about it for a while, and in the end. I nodded too. "It makes sense to revive it"
"Since that's the case. It seems that there is no need for us to be too weak. Hong Ren sighed softly. Words. Better a finger off than always aching. And raising tigers is a problem after all. ”
"Huh. Benevolence. You're getting old again. Lin Haifeng smiled. While picking up the pipe at hand and lighting it. After sucking one. He raised his eyes to look at Hong Ren, who was frowning. He waved his hand gently. "Britain and Russia have just been at loggerheads. France became an ally with us. The Russians looked like Europe had been completely isolated. This is what Zaixing is talking about as an opportunity. Same as when I was in Beijing. I don't think we have the ability to crush the Russians once and for all. ”
Lin Haifeng said and stood up. Paced back and forth in the room. He turned his face back to look at Hong Ren. “
1 to calculate. How many ordinary people are mobilized for this. How many troops? This hit-"
"I don't know much about the military, though. But. Only the whole country mobilized. Three to five years is always okay, right? Hong Ren said with an extremely serious expression.
"Almost. Almost. Lin Haifeng put his pipe in his mouth. I took two hard breaths. "It's just an ideal situation. That is, the Napoleon III of France according to the military pact we signed with him. Send troops to pin down the Russians. Other than that. The British sat on the side and watched the tiger fight from the beginning to the end.
But is it possible? ”
"This ......," Hong Ren thought about it as he looked down. The British may not be so honest. But at least the French shouldn't ...... You should not break your covenant. They are our friends after all. ”
"Hahaha...... I said you...... In this world. There are no permanent friends. Some are just eternal benefits. Lin Haifeng lit Hong Ren with the pipe in his hand and laughed. After laughing. Lin Haifeng returned to his seat. looked at Hong Ren seriously. "It's a short time. But as long as the war lasts for a long time. That Napoleon III's so-called friendship with us. It's simply unreliable. ”
Then. Lin Haifeng began to settle accounts for Hong Ren carefully.
In fact. Even without the help of the French. The Celestial Empire is still capable of defeating the Russians. It was the British who finally couldn't help but move the knife behind the back of the Celestial Empire. That won't help either. The problem is that this is going to pour the whole country's troops. It can only be done with the strength of the whole country. And more critically. Hit Russia. That's not about subduing, country. What do we get the most? Russia as a whole? Apparently impossible. The Mongols once seemed to have done so. And in reality? Not really. Other words. Fight to the end. Something to the hand. It's just the west that the Celestial Empire wants to go to now.
Of course. Even if it's something that the Celestial Empire originally arrived. It doesn't mean that you really get it in the end. And that's not all. The time of the Celestial Empire fights for these things that have arrived. One life and two lifetimes. Generations will fight forever. It doesn't matter until there's a real statement.
And what about domestic? For the sake of war. The process of industrialization in the country has finally just begun. also stagnated. Not to mention any economic development. And sink into the abyss. The lives of the people will become more and more impoverished, and Russia is broken. But the Celestial Dynasty broke itself. This in itself is not the right thing for the Celestial Empire government to do.
Since for the sake of the final "statement" may be typed for several lifetimes. So. Why can't you find the "saying" now. Just get the "statement" in your hands? So. Strength is the backing. Talking is the best way.
As for that check. It turned out to be different from the Russia in front of it. A little check. As long as the Celestial Empire is willing. You can erase it from the ball at any time. So. We can force them to pay for peace. And that Gurkha. That is, now the Anxi Special District. It's not the same as Cha and Russia. Check is small. However, the beliefs and living customs of its people are far from those of the Celestial Empire. Received it. That would require great effort from the Celestial Empire. Perhaps it will be possible to truly merge into the Celestial Empire. Not so with the Gurkhas. It already has the conditions to enter the Celestial Empire. So. The Celestial Empire made an exception and crowned Manur a Gurkha king. In exchange, it is the Anxi Special Zone that really belongs to the Celestial Empire...
"Let's talk about it. Even if it's a lot of money. 1 is also numbered. "Speaking of which. Lin Haifeng looked at Hong Ren with a sly look. "There's a lot of money. That's all spent sooner or later. Look. Although we have temporarily waived the compensation that should be demanded from them. But in exchange for their gratitude. And we're on the ground. Feel relieved. Not a few years. You don't have to go with a single soldier. Those so-called districts to be discussed will be ours. Isn't that better? ”
"I'm worried. They won't be so honest. Hong Ren shook his head slightly.
"Of course. This will also require our future plus-1 efforts. Lin Haifeng was filling the pipe with tobacco shreds and igniting the fire. Then take a puff. "This requires us to act like a most loyal friend at all times. Caring for them and helping them in every way. Teach them to be grateful. Ha ha...... They will be grateful. ”
Hong Ren seemed to understand Lin Haifeng's intentions. Finally stretched his brow. also laughed a few times.
But the side has been removed to make tea and pour water. It's not Liu Xiang, who is sitting in the corner of the room and listening silently. At this time, he snorted disappreciably.
"How. It seems that Madame still has a high opinion? Lin Haifeng turned his head to look at his wife, who wanted to speak and stopped. Asked with a smile.
