Chapter 883: The Tsar's Wrath

Alexander II is not an easy person, he can rule a country, he must have cultivated his face, and he quickly regained his calm. Moreover, Alexander II could not give in immediately, his eyes were firm, and he insisted: "Lord Li, your words are unreasonable. ”

Li Zhen said: "It's not unreasonable, the territorial issue is non-negotiable, it's a matter of principle. ”

Alexander II shrugged his shoulders and said, "In this case, I think we both need to calm down and think about what we should do next." ”

Li Zhen smiled and said: "I am very calm, and I agree with your statement, please!" ”

Alexander II frowned, he didn't expect Li Zhen to be so tough.

At this moment, Alexander II is also rushing ducks to the shelves, and he wants to sit down and talk again but can't save face. Alexander II stood up and walked out of the camp.

When he walked to the door of the tent, Li Zhen suddenly said: "Your Excellency the Tsar, I hope you will think about it carefully. If we can't agree on the territory, we will have to fight. Of course, don't worry, I, Li Zhen, have invited you here and will not detain you. If you want to fight, I'll let you go and wait for you to declare war. I'm not afraid to fight! My comrades-in-arms, not afraid of battle! My country, not afraid of battle! ”

When Alexander II heard this, his heart was even more uncomfortable.

He left the tent and quickly disappeared from sight.

Lu Shaochuan sat aside and said, "Lord Wang, if the ** son is really still entangled in the territorial issue, do you really want to let him go back?" Let's detain the tsar, and many problems can be solved. ”

Li Zhen said: "I can be shameless, the country wants face!" ”

Lu Shaochuan was confused and didn't understand the meaning of the words.

Peng Yulin explained: "Master Lu, the prince represents the negotiation between the Qing Dynasty and the Tsar, and it is a negotiation between two countries, not a struggle between two people. This time it was the prince who took the initiative to invite the Tsar to come, and the Tsar dared to take the risk of coming to Vladivostok to make an appointment, which shows his courage. If we detain the Tsar, it will make the rest of the country think that we are unfaithful and do not speak. At least, which country do we negotiate with in the future, and will others be able to believe it? ”

After a pause, Peng Yulin continued: "The country needs influence, to be a country that counts its word, and we are not afraid of fighting, dare to fight, this is what we need." The tsar boldly came to the appointment, we could not reach an agreement with the tsar, the prince put the tsar back, and even if the two sides went to war, it proved that the state was a reliable one. This is very important. ”

Lu Shaochuan muttered: "It's easy to understand, it's not difficult." ”

Li Zhen smiled and took people to inspect the army again.

……

Alexander II left the camp and went to the place where Muravyov rested.

Muravyov asked: "Your Majesty, how is the situation?" ”

Alexander II sighed lightly and briefly recounted the situation.

Muravyov frowned and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Li Zhen takes the country very seriously. The attitude towards foreign countries is even more tough. Britain, France, and the United States as a consequence all suffered at the hands of Li Zhen. The United States, in particular, suffered a big loss at the hands of Li Zhen. ”

At the beginning, the United States sent troops to occupy Taiwan, Li Zhen immediately led his army there, and after Li Zhen pacified Taiwan, he immediately issued an order to expel all Americans in the Qing Dynasty. Later, the United States publicly apologized and sent people to Guangzhou to apologize to Li Zhen, thus resolving the sequelae of the US military's attack on Taiwan. ”

Alexander II nodded and said, "Of course, I know that Li Zhen is very tough, and I am ready. It's just that Li Zhen is too arrogant, so let's dry him first. ”

Muravyov asked, "When is Your Majesty going to negotiate with Li Zhen again?" ”

Alexander II said: "Tomorrow, go on!" ”

After a pause, Alexander II said: "You have a good rest, I still have to deal with it." ”

"Yes!"

Muravyov responded and sent Alexander II out of the camp.

Alexander II led people out of the barracks, and it happened that Li Zhen was also going to return to the palace. Because Alexander II's military camp was stationed outside the city, he was going out of the city, and Li Zhen was in the city, so the two sides went separately. Alexander II went out of the city and came to the barracks where the army was stationed. Shanapova came to Alexander II's tent and asked: "Father, how is the situation?" ”

Alexander II said: "Not optimistic! ”

Shanapova sighed softly, and the expression on her face froze.

Alexander II said: "Li Zhen is extremely tough and difficult to deal with. Shanapova, since Li Zhen likes you, and you also said that Li Zhen wants to propose to me to marry you. If you go into the city to persuade Li Zhen, what do you think? ”

Shanapova said: "It won't work, he won't listen to me." At the beginning, Governor Muravyov and Li Zhen were at war, and I tried to persuade them, but as soon as I opened my mouth, Li Zhen refused to let me intervene, and my persuasion was to no avail. ”

Alexander II waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down." ”

Shanapova left, and the guards walked in.

The guard said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, since the princess has a relationship with Li Zhen, why don't you use the princess to make a fuss?" If Li Zhen cared about the princess, he would definitely compromise on the affairs of the area north of Heilongjiang. ”

Alexander II's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The country cannot be changed by women, and Li Zhen cannot compromise. Moreover, I will not make my daughter sad, he wants to marry Li Zhen, I have no objection, this does not contradict the hostile relationship between me and Li Zhen. Needless to say, your proposal was used to lower the level of the emperor and make Li Zhen look down on him. ”

"Yes!"

The guard listened and nodded.

For a day, the tsar had been pondering the matter of negotiating with Li Zhen.

The next day, the tsar led people to Li Zhen's military camp and once again began negotiations.

Li Zhen still said straight to the point: "Your Excellency the Tsar, since the negotiations have begun, I think we must be sincere. I hope that yesterday's events will not be brought up again and that the Territory is not something that can be brought to the negotiating table. What we are discussing should be how to solve the problem of Muravyov and tens of thousands of Russian troops, as soon as possible, for the benefit of both of us, what do you think? ”

Alexander II said: "Prince Li is right, I recognize that the area north of the Heilongjiang River belongs to you. However, the contract signed at the beginning, whether you admit it or not, is at least valid. Yi was overthrown by you, and I recognize that the treaty is null and void, and the area north of Heilongjiang is now the Qing Dynasty. ”

Li Zhen frowned when he heard this.

Although Alexander II retreated, he finalized that the Heilongjiang region had belonged to Tsarist Russia. Li Zhen thought about it for a while, and still said: "I still say that, I didn't do it, and I resolutely don't admit it." I do not recognize the treaty signed by Yi, and there is no room for negotiation on this. Although you take a step back, I don't think it's right. ”

"You ......"

Alexander II's face changed, and he was angry, Li Zhen was too deceitful!
