At first all the participants in Tsarist Russia, including Chilakov. They all believe that the meaning of Yixin's proposal is to use the Lena River as the boundary. And that's just the northern part of China. That is, the land west of the Ergun River, including Lake Baikal, that was lost in the Nebuchu Treaty of that year, should be returned. But now they finally understood. It's far from being as simple as they understand.
Originally. The Lena River that Yixin is talking about. Refers to the entire Lena River basin. He has a big mouth. The area on the right bank of the Van Lena River. It will all belong to their Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government.
Where could the Chilakovs not know. The Lena River flows from the west of Lake Baikal in a northeasterly direction. Later, it made a turn in Yakutsk, the important town of Yakutia in the empire. First northwest and then due north. All the way to the Laptev Sea in the Arctic Ocean. The right bank of the Lena River? What a huge territory that encompasses that.
Let's take a look at the Wai Xing'an Mountains and the Wudi River that Yixin said. That is, the area that was listed as pending in the "Treaty of Nebuchu" in that year. During the talks. Yixin pointed to the map and shouted. The eastern side of the Starov Mountains (Trans-Khingan Mountains) is divided into two branches, north and south. That is, the southern branch of the eastern extension of the Sea of Okhotsk (Bering Strait). There was also a northern branch that stretched all the way to the eastern tip of Chukotsi, the eastern tip of their empire, to the Nors headland. According to the arithmetic of that brutal Yixin. Centered on the Udi River. All areas contained in the northern and southern branches of the Trans-Khingan Mountains. That's what the Treaty of Nebuchu talked about. And this qiē. It has belonged to China since ancient times.
Of course. This Yixin is not just talking. He turned over old accounts again. It is even explicitly mentioned in the year after the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchu. That is, the year 169 of the celestial calendar. When the Manchu general Ba Hai led his troops to inspect the Outer Khing'an Mountains and the area south of the Lena River. He went to Yakutsk on the left bank of the Lena River (the ruling center of Eastern Siberia in Russia at that time). A warning to General Gorovin, the chief representative who had participated in the entire negotiation process of the Treaty of Nebuchu. It is affirmed that the area of the Lena River and the Udi River is the territory of the Qing Dynasty. Russian soldiers and civilians must not harass and cause trouble. On the one hand, it caused unhappiness on both sides.
Chelakov was not very aware of the old account that Yixin had churned out. But he knew it in his heart. Since the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchu. In the first decades. They Russia is indeed very careful in these areas. Try not to provoke the Qing Empire, which was very powerful at the time. As far as Chilakov knew. The Qing Dynasty was indeed very powerful. In this regard. Chelakov did not mince words. More than 100 years ago, Russia had only a hundred thousand regular troops. But the army is reckless. Internal and external wars have come and gone. Relative to the whole of China was gained at once. Millions of troops are in the Qing Dynasty. They really can't be called powerful. In other words. Russia was greedy for the land of the Qing Dynasty. But at that time. There is really no one who dares to shout and pour the strength of the whole country with the Qing Dynasty. Able to take the lead in the Qing Dynasty in the Far East for the empire that rose later. Again and again, Gorofe asked Admiral Doro and others. He became a national hero who opened up territory for the empire.
Back in the day. Even the Tsar after seeing the text of the Treaty of Nebuchu. They all stared widely. I said it several times in a row, but I didn't expect it. Because the tsar never thought of it. It can also be taken from the seemingly very powerful Daqing. You can also get such unimaginable benefits.
But now? If you really let the other party succeed. His Majesty the Tsar in the Petersburg palace must have stared too. I didn't expect to say it a few times. What's next? Compare with General Gorofe to Doro. Wouldn't he be a great traitor!
This is where the negotiations are. It's a robbery with open fire!
Chilakov thought of this. Although righteous indignation. But he can only curse in his heart.
The talks at Miaotun entered a stalemate. The two sides are quoting scriptures back and forth, arguing with each other. Of course, there are many people who will slap the table and stare at them. Even a few angry scoldings in the mouth. That scene. It was extremely popular at one time.
As a result, more than ten days passed. There was no progress in the talks.
The quarrel was to the end. Chilakov and others were not so much unbearable. It's better to be exhausted. I can't really stir up something newer and more convincing. After dealing with the Chinese who look at them one by one. Chelakov left the next sentence: "Please be sure to respect and face up to history and reality." simply led a swarm of his men to play the trick of boycotting the meeting.
Although the talks have not been fruitful for the time being. Whether it is Yinglong, Guqing, Jingchun. It's still Yixin. It's all over the body, and there is an abnormal pleasure. Others don't talk about it. It is Yixin - the former "Great Qing" political king. I have never tasted the taste of really straightening my waist in front of foreigners.
Over here. When Yixin slapped the table. When he loudly denounced the various banditry of the Tsarist Russian devils against China for hundreds of years. Although the eyes of these once rampant Tsarist ghosts in front of him were red. My heart must be even more angry. But no one dared to jump out. Really tough on him. This can't help but remind him of the past.
Yixin has seen a lot of foreigners. I've never seen a foreigner who can't speak hard words. Far away, too much to say. The year before last, the British messenger who had come to the capital via Tanggu to pay a special visit to him. It was enough to make him linger on his pregnancy for the rest of his life. In fact. This so-called British courier. However, he accepted the commission of the British minister Ali Guo, who had retreated to the island of Taiwan. Ordinary businessmen who come to relay certain information.
However. It's this little businessman. But in front of Yixin, the king of the "Great Qing Dynasty" who is above 10,000 people. The so-called "gentleman" of the British Empire will be faced. It was vividly displayed at once. "Finish the secret letter of the Minister of Aliko. Let out a long sigh. Sue the other party helplessly. Due to the opposition of the Queen Mother and the Russian allies. His Qing court was unable to cooperate further with the British. This one is dangling Jiro's legs. A merchant of the British Empire sipping a cup of tea. Immediately angry. Not only did he slam the exquisite tea bowl in his hand to the ground. Then jump up. He also pointed at his nose and grunted angrily and intimidated.
Of course. The interpreter next to Yixin is a smart person. He didn't translate the businessman's words to Yixin exactly as they were. And just to sue sù Yi Xin. The foreigner said. Russians are the biggest stupid pigs in the world. If our Qing Dynasty is bound to the Russians. There is no good fruit to eat in the morning and evening. And the British Empire was the most reliable friend of the Qing Dynasty. Only with the British Empire, which was striving for fairness between nations. It was the only way out for the Qing Dynasty to avoid the collapse of the country. Foreigners advise you to govern you. And our Qing Dynasty court. Don't push the British Empire over the side of the Taiping rebels......
Outcome. Yixin really believed the words of the translator at that time. People are under low eaves. You can't help but bow your head. Facing the thunderous British businessmen. For the benefit of the Qing Dynasty. He could only bow and repeatedly beg the British businessman. Be sure to go back and tell Minister Aliko. His Qing Dynasty had always been friendly to the British Empire. Otherwise, how could the Taiwan concession be given to the British Empire? As for further cooperation. Not now, though. But after all, it's only temporary. Over time. There is always a chance that the British businessmen will throw their hands and leave. But this British businessman actually scolded Yixin's words. But I don't know when I couldn't help but leak out by the interpreter of that good thing. Originally. This British businessman is actually a China expert. Because I have been wandering around Jiangnan for a long time. All the dirty and obscene words in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are scolding. He knows it all. That. He used the dirtiest of them all. scolded this Yixin, who didn't know what to do, for more than ten or twenty minutes, and it was not the same.
This thing. Naturally, it was gradually spread as a joke. And afterwards, I gradually learned about this qiē's Yixin. At that time. In addition to a belly full of pockets, annoyance, and unforgettable. What else could he have?
The shoe is on the other foot. At this time, Yixin had some regrets. If only he had met that bastard British merchant today. If that's the case. He's also not going to call the guards to come in and help blast that bastard out. Instead, he was going to grab the bastard by the collar with his own hands. It's like throwing a dead dog. Throw him out the door.
The talks between the two sides were interrupted for three days. There was still no sign of a resumption on the part of the Tsarist Russia. And look at yourself. Chen Yucheng, Tan Shaoguang and others also showed a leisurely look that they didn't care about at all. Seeing Chen Yucheng and Tan Shaoguang and others. These days, when I have a free time, I will run to the cathedral that has long since collapsed. Clearing the rubble with part of the soldiers of the teaching brigade. It's hard to even sit down and talk a few words about military affairs. Yixin was a little anxious, "Noon on the fourth day." After lunch, Yixin blocked Chen Yucheng and Tan Shaoguang, who were probably about to sneak into the ruins of the church. Pointing to the north. Not worried. "They're just going to be scoundrels. But we can't let them do that. Director Lin said. For us. The most precious thing is time. Border disputes are non-stop. Each person who bears the heavy responsibility of farming. We have to be prepared to participate in a war that could break out again at any time. And we can't reclaim the land in a down-to-earth manner. And that's not all. As soon as the Tsarist side took this respite. Intensify their domestic mobilization. Increase the number of troops in the border areas. The next step will be even more difficult. ”
"Deputy Director Yi. There is a lot of truth in your words. In time. We're going to hurry. ”
For this still keep the former Qing prince wearing. Wear thick braids. But Yixin, who already has the status of deputy director of the Northern Camp of the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee of the Celestial Empire. Chen Yucheng still respects it very much.
"So what are we waiting for?" Yixin didn't sit down on the wooden chair that Chen Yucheng had moved in front of him. The hand continued to point to the north. "Since they don't want to talk. Then we just follow their wishes. Directly transfer troops to take Temple Street. and continue northward. Didn't that Chelakov openly shout that we must respect and face up to history and reality? All right. Let's just give them a realistic look at ......" (To be continued.)
