Chapter 575: Yi
Because Xianfeng is going to die. The situation in Beijing is unpredictable.
Prince Gong's Mansion has already strengthened vigilance.
At the gate, the soldiers standing guard were all serious and cautious. It was an eventful time now, and the palace had also issued an order for martial law early, so the soldiers did not dare to slack off.
"Boom!!"
A carriage came at a rapid pace and stopped outside the palace.
The curtain of the carriage was rolled up, and two foreigners in dresses stepped down. The two foreigners wore boots, their exuberant body hair was exposed, and they looked like sharp-beaked monkey gills. Both are extremely tall, at least over 1.8 meters. They stood side by side and walked forward, and immediately gave people a feeling of extreme horror.
The two of them walked towards the palace, but the soldiers guarding the gate did not stop them. Obviously, this is not the first time these two have been here. The two of them walked all the way to the palace, and just when they arrived at the door of the hall, a eunuch walked over.
The eunuch waved his hand respectfully and said, "Two gentlemen, the prince is waiting in the study, please come with me!" ”
The eunuch led the way, and two foreigners followed.
After a short time, the group arrived at Yi 60's study. The eunuch withdrew, and closed the door of the study, leaving only Yi 60 and two foreigners sitting inside. Yi 60 looked serious, looked at the slightly thinner of the two, and said solemnly: "Mr. Chen Yuande, the two of you came to visit this king today, is there anything wrong?" ”
This foreigner actually has a Chinese name.
If Li Zhen was here, he would definitely be familiar with the name Chen Yuande.
When Li Zhen was fighting in the ring in Beijing, Li Zhen defeated the Russian Hercules, and the Russian next to him was Chen Yuande. The foreigner in front of him is a Russian person, and his face is the same as that of the beginning. Now that Chen Yuande and another person have arrived, their identities have changed. The Russian sitting next to Chen Yuande was straight, his eyes were looking straight ahead, his expression was solemn, and he exuded a fierce momentum, which was extraordinary at first glance.
This man has the demeanor of a soldier.
This man, Gilsky, was a major general under the command of Muravyov, the governor of Eastern Siberia in Tsarist Russia, who was committed to territorial expansion and was a war maniac. Gilsky came to Beijing on behalf of Muravyov for the purpose of further expanding Tsarist Russia's sphere of influence in the north in the Heilongjiang region.
Gilsky said slowly: "VH%^8T,%...&*...%¥%#j$%^y......"
He spoke a lot of Russian, and Yi 60 didn't understand a word. However, there is Chen Yuande, a Chinese expert, so Giles glanced at Chen Yuande and motioned for Chen Yuande to translate.
Chen Yuande already had a draft in his heart, and immediately said: "Lord Gong, Your Excellency the Major General said that the emperor of your imperial court is going to die, and you are the son of the emperor of the previous generation, and you have the right to inherit the throne. It's just that the emperor recalled Li Zhen, and now that Li Zhen is in Beijing, you are already in danger. If you don't take the initiative to fight back, you may see the throne lost. ”
After a pause, Chen Yuande continued to agitate: "As long as Prince Gong agrees to Governor Muravyov's request, the empire will send troops to help you ascend to the throne. When the time comes, you will reign over the world, you will be the master of the Qing Dynasty, do you still care about a small place? ”
After hearing this, Yi 60's brows furrowed.
He cooperated with the Russians because he wanted to take advantage of each other.
Judging from the current situation, Chen Yuande is extremely cunning, and it is a little difficult for Yi 60 to achieve his goal.
Yi 60 said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what do you want?" ”
Kirsky nodded, and spoke quickly.
Next, I heard Chen Yuande say slowly: "According to the conditions proposed by the prince at the beginning, as long as Prince Gong gives all the territory north of Heilongjiang, including Heilongjiang, the empire will send troops to help the prince." As long as the soldiers of the empire arrive, it will be easy for you to clean up Li Zhen. On the contrary, without the support of the empire, it would be almost impossible to defeat Li Zhen with the strength of Prince Gong alone. So, please think about it carefully. ”
Yi 60 said in a deep voice: "No way, there are too many territories, I will not accept this proposal." ”
Prior to this, Chen Yuande and Yi 60 also put forward this condition.
It's just that Yi 60 refused, so it couldn't be achieved.
Kyrsky spoke again, and Chen Yuande continued: "Lord Gong, Your Excellency the Major General is willing to take a big step back to show his sincerity. You don't want to give Heilongjiang, you just need to cede the land north of Heilongjiang and south of the Outer Khing'an Mountains to the empire. In addition, 400,000 square kilometers of land east of the Ussuri River and south of the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, including Sakhalin Island, will be designated as a Sino-Russian condominium zone. This condition is already the greatest support that His Excellency the Major General can give to the prince. If Prince Gong continues not to agree, I'm afraid we really won't be able to reach cooperation, and Prince Gong can only fight alone. ”
When Yi 60 heard this, he immediately fell into hesitation.
Yi 60 got into a relationship with the Russians because Yi 60 really couldn't find someone who could deal with Li Zhen. The Anglo-French alliance was defeated by Li Zhen, and the domestic generals could not even defeat the bandits, but Li Zhen easily cleaned up the bandits, and took down the bandits like a three-year-old child. If the domestic generals fought against Li Zhen, they would definitely lose, so Yi 60 thought of using the Russians.
He temporarily agreed to the other party's conditions, and when he ascended the throne, he could tear up the treaty.
It's just that the Yi-60 underestimated the appetite of the Russians.
Gilsky's mouth was wide open, and Yi 60 felt a headache.
However, at the moment, Yi 60 needs strength to help him, so it is difficult to refuse. Yi 60 thought in his heart that he had ascended to the throne, developed the strength of the country, and then tore up the treaty, and he could get back all the territory.
When Yi 60 thought about it like this, his heart suddenly felt a lot better. He looked at Chen Yuande and said solemnly: "Tell Your Excellency the Major General, and say that this king has approved this proposal." However, the conditions should be changed to 600,000 square kilometers north of the Heilongjiang River and south of the Outer Khing'an Mountains to Russia. However, how soon will the king be sure that the Russian army will arrive? ”
When Chen Yuande heard this, he immediately told Gilsky.
When Gilsky heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
He deliberately opened his mouth when he said the treaty earlier, leaving himself a room to turn around. Yi 60 quasi-landed the land north of the Black Dragon Sword, and Kyrsky succeeded.
Gilsky made a big call, and Chen Yuande immediately said: "Your Excellency the Major General said that the empire will send six thousand elite soldiers to come by water. In this way, it will not startle the snake, and it can also land quietly. As long as Prince Gong makes proper arrangements, this batch of troops will be transported to the outside of Beijing silently, and it will definitely be a miracle army. When the time comes, Prince Gong will give an order, and Li Zhen can be successfully solved. But because it is by land, it takes a month and a half to arrive in Beijing, please be considerate of Prince Gong. ”
A month and a half?
Yi 60 has done the math, it is now the end of June, and it will be July soon.
It's been a month and a half, and it's already mid-August.
Yi 60 counted the time, nodded and said, "Okay, I will do it in a month and a half." When this king ascends to the throne, he will immediately fulfill his promise. ”
Kyrsky and Chen Yuande were not afraid of Yi 60's remorse, so they agreed to get a verbal promise, and then bid farewell to Yi 60. The two of them left Prince Gong's mansion briskly, talking and laughing. However, Yi 60 was unhappy, because he knew that he had done something to betray the country, but he was confident that he would definitely be able to get it back in the future, and he would definitely be able to!
