At the beginning of the talks, Chelakov was uncharacteristically surprised by the fact that T3 had to interrupt the meeting for several days, and expressed his sincere apologies to the delegation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Then he went on to talk about the international rules of Tsarist Russia, which had never been willing to use force against foreign countries, and had always pursued the settlement of disputes through negotiation.
Finally, he expressed the hope that the two sides would look at the border dispute between the two countries in a friendly manner and from the perspective of history and reality, so that the border dispute between the two countries could be properly resolved. Of course, he did not forget to tell the representatives of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with a sincere smile that was rare in the past that China and Russia are close neighbors after all, and since this is the case, both sides should take a more long-term view, there is no need to always stare at the unhappiness of the past, and a peaceful environment should be cherished and protected for both sides.
Chelakov talked about it for a long time, but he didn't say a word about what happened in Aleksandrovsk.
By this time, Yi smiled.
At the beginning of the meeting, the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious.
Chen Yucheng affirmed Chelakov's above-mentioned remarks, especially in favor of Chelakov's rule of using negotiation to settle the dispute. Chen Yucheng mentioned that there is a saying in China that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and that China and Russia are two neighboring countries with extremely long borders, so they should all the more get along amicably so that the people of the two countries will be friendly for generations to come. He said: The Chinese nation has never been a belligerent nation, nor is it a nation that is forever nostalgic for the past, and the Chinese nation is broad-minded and willing to live in peace with any country and people that yearn for friendship. Even for the once vicious enemy of the Chinese nation, as long as the other party is willing, we also have a broad mind to abandon the past and develop together.
Of course, Chen Yucheng also did not say a word about the actions of the Red Navy on Sakhalin, as if nothing had happened.
Finally, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not want to embarrass the Russian side too much, and since everyone is sitting down and discussing amicably, they should try to find a common ground that everyone can accept in a realistic manner. For this reason, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom side is willing to appropriately adjust the demarcation plan.
Chen Yucheng came up with a new border demarcation plan to the following effect:
1. The northern region, bounded by the Lena River, and the vast lands east of the Lena River and west of the Ergun River, which originally belonged to China but were ceded to Russia by the Manchu Qing in the "Treaty of Nebuchu", must be returned to China unconditionally;
2. The northeastern region, which was occupied by the Manchus in the ">: state territory (including the area south of the Udi River), must be returned to China unconditionally;
3. In view of the considerable dispute between the two sides over the ownership of the territory on the right bank of the Lena River, which began in Yakutsk. For the time being, it is difficult to properly resolve the issue of its final place of ownership. All members of the Taiping delegation have been consulted carefully. In the spirit of a friendly attitude that will benefit China and Russia for generations to come. Tiyì to make the above-mentioned areas into areas to be discussed......
When the above plan was read out in its entirety by Yi again. There was silence in the venue. It was so quiet that it began to thaw several miles away, and the sound of ice edges colliding came from the surface of the Heilongjiang River. can be heard clearly by the locals in the venue.
Members of the Russian delegation headed by Chilakov. is even more silent. Now. These guys are inside. I'm afraid they're all surging with the same idea. These Chinese black. It's just so dark!
Long. Chen Yucheng solemnly looked at Chelakov, whose forehead was oozing with sweat. "Your Excellency. You and I are both people who are told to do things. We know each other's difficulties. The area to be discussed was demarcated and the reparations were recorded only as a memorandum for the time being. However, the specific amount of compensation and the method of compensation will be left to be discussed at a later date. That's the biggest concession we can make. β
"Pavilion...... Excellency. Chelakov wiped the sweat from his forehead. As if he had eaten a big mouthful of pig bitter gall, he grinned at Chen Yucheng with a big mouthful. Good for a while. before he stammered. ">: The land obtained after the signing of the treaty. I...... We...... We can ...... It can be returned. It's just that...... It is only the area east of the Lena River and west of the Ergun River...... You...... You know it too. It's all a matter of history. Of course. I don't want to...... I don't want to ...... with you anymore Discuss with you whether the signature of the Qing government was valid. You and your local colleagues say that Nebuchu is not an equal contract. In fact...... In fact, the Treaty of Nebuchu was fair to the Qing Dynasty that year. Rather, it should be said that inequality is us. Because...... Because the Qing Dynasty was stronger than we know how much in force back then. Forcing us to sign the treaty. β
After a warm-up to Chilakov. Gradually, the words became coherent. "Actually. All of us here are these people. None of them witnessed the scene with their own eyes. Even if there is any document. It is difficult to guarantee that it is due to one reason or another. Inherently biased. I just explained. I say this in no way to excuse anything. But after all
It has been more than a hundred years, and for more than a hundred years, no one has turned over h7 for this, and our people have become accustomed to the way of life and the way there, and have multiplied from generation to generation. Now that change is changing, wouldn't that thousands of innocent civilians ...... Wouldn't you want to leave your homeland? β
Speaking of this, Chelakov deliberately paused. Looking at Chen Yucheng and other representatives of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they all seemed to be listening carefully to his heartfelt words, and his courage seemed to be a little stronger. He coughed twice and continued, "As for the area to be discussed by your side, in my memory, it has always been our Russian territory. I really can't think of how it has become a pending area, Your Excellency just said, we are all people who do things for the government, but even I can't figure it out myself, how can I sign this word? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we are forced to sign such a nondescript treaty aggrievedly under the power of your country, will it not bury the disaster for the two countries in the future? Today, Your Excellency, you can force us to do so. But in more than 100 years, or even longer, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be such a person in our country, and the same will be concocted. When will this retribution be? So, I thought it would be better to be realistic on some issues. β
"Are you done?" Seeing that Chelakov finally stopped, Chen Yucheng asked with a smile.
Chelakov nodded, and then turned to look at Nevelskoy beside him. Nevelskoy, who was nestled in a wooden chair, had a wooden expression, apparently speechless.
"Hehe......" Chen Yucheng laughed softly, "According to your reality, then I should leave the venue immediately, pack up and continue to wave north." β
"I don't understand what Your Excellency means," Chelakov looked at Chen Yucheng as if he was really confused.
"It's very simple," Chen Yucheng leaned the back of the chair, looked at his generals on the left and right, and smiled proudly, "It's not to boast to you, once the peace talks can't be made, I don't know how much of a move I will make in the two major theaters of the Heavenly Empire, the north and northwest." However, as long as I give an order, my 200,000 elite troops who have experienced a hundred battles will be able to take half of your country in less than half a year. In the same way, I can personally move millions of people of my Celestial Empire to these lands during my lifetime and protect them from taking root there. After more than a hundred years, or even longer, even if someone claiming to be yours comes to us to ask for these lands, our Celestial Empire will not be able to reply to him in your tone, friend, please be realistic. β
"This ......" Chelakov, who was already a little sweat that had just fallen, couldn't help but seep out.
Chen Yucheng glanced at Chelakov, turned his head to look at Yi with a smug look on his face, and then turned back and continued, "A few days ago, you interrupted the talks unreasonably, and our deputy director Yi was very unhappy, and he told me that according to your consistent behavior, you will never take the initiative to sit back at the negotiation table again, and you can only take the initiative to come back if you turn the sky upside down. I didn't believe it, and at that time I told our deputy director Yi that I would let you come back by yourself. β
Chen Yucheng said, and glanced at Nevelskoy, whose head was very low, and he couldn't wait to get under the table at once, "As a result, I only moved lightly on Sakhalin Island, and you won't come back." β
"Pavilion...... Your Excellency......" Chelakov's stuttering came up again, "I...... I didn't want to mention ...... Mention this...... This hurts a lot...... Everyone's feelings are a thing.
Can...... But since ...... Now that Your Excellency has made it clear, what ...... Then I don't ...... I have to say. Appear...... Now it's ...... Be...... During the peace talks, your side fought undeclared...... behavior...... It's really a mistake...... It is not the demeanor of a great country. β
"Hahaha......" Chen Yucheng couldn't help laughing, "Everyone is sitting here for talks, as long as the negotiation starts, even if you scold your father and mother, there will still be no war." But what about the period during which the negotiations were suspended? Since you don't want to talk about it, then just fight. Not only can I hit you, but you can also beat me, if you want. β
It's just too much of a bully! Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to hit you? If Lao Tzu could beat you, he would have swept you out of the house a long time ago. Chelakov blushed and couldn't say a word, he really experienced what it was like to be bullied by others.
Chen Yucheng sighed and looked at Chelakov with an almost pitying gaze, "To be honest, in order to promote the completion of peace talks as soon as possible, I have done my best to endure. Some sensitive issues have been left to the top of our Celestial Empire, and the problems that we can't solve for a while and a half will naturally have their solutions to the heads of state of our two countries in the future. You probably won't believe that the leaders of our Celestial Empire have long had the idea of going to your country and meeting with your Tsar's Majesty. β
