"Bad Boy Willie" has learned to act, and he does it perfectly!

As the future monarch of the German Empire, this is definitely not a good thing!

After the German delegation completed the memorial ceremony, the Russian delegation led by Prince Alexander entered the church to pay respects.

Moltke, who was watching the ceremony, noticed that there were two young men in the Russian delegation, one of them was dressed in a civilian uniform, and the other was dressed in a neat naval uniform.

Russia was the first country to establish diplomatic relations with the Qianguo and was also one of the countries that the Celestial Empire tacitly accepted as equals -- this certainly has a historical origin, and it is also a history of blood and fire.

At the time of the great chaos in the world in the last years of the Min Dynasty, the Bohai people took advantage of the time to rise up and the whole army went south to seize the national power, and the entire northeast area south of the Outer Xing'an Mountains was under the control of the Heilongjiang general. After the establishment of the Qian, the Hung Yen General was appointed to strengthen the governance of the Songhua River, the Heilongjiang River, the Ussuri River Valley, Sakhalin Island, and Nebuchu.

Due to the rise of the Bohai people, the Beidi people who originally lived in the north of Middle-earth suffered heavy losses, part of them integrated into the Bohai people, part of them moved into the Mongolian steppe, and continued to move westward under the pressure of the Mongols, and one part entered the territory of Russia.

After careful preparations, the Russian government continued to invade the east, conquering the Khiva Khanate and the Siberian Khanate, and included most of Siberia in its territory.

With the continuous eastward advance of the Russian army, the invasion of the Russians was met with fierce resistance from the various peoples of the northern steppe of Middle-earth, but due to the great chaos of the steppe peoples in the last years of the Min Dynasty, after the Bo people unified the north, the original strength of the steppe peoples was greatly weakened, and they were unable to stop the eastward advance of the Russian army, so that the Russians soon annexed the whole of Siberia and approached the Heilongjiang region, that is, the land of Longxing of the Bo people. At this time, the Bohai Sea, which had just unified the whole country, realized the Russians' attempt and immediately mobilized a large number of cavalry from the pass to return to the defense.

Realizing that the aggression of the Russian colonialists had seriously affected the security of the northern part of the country, the government of the country adopted the policy of resolutely resisting the aggression and directly sending troops to expel the invaders. The Qianguo government took measures to appease the steppe tribes that had been conquered by the Bo people, and all residents who had been harassed by the Russian invasion were exempted from paying tribute, and were allowed to resume their armament to help the cadres resist the enemy.

After learning the news of the arrival of the cadres in a big way, the Russian government was worried that the Eastern Expeditionary Army was weak and could not resist the cavalry of the cadre army, so it greatly increased its troops in the east, and the Russian army successively requisitioned a large number of Cossack cavalry to the east, and subdued the former Beidi tribes who had entered the Russian territory, promised to help them restore their homeland, and said that they would be mobilized to act as guides and help the Russian army fight. In order to confront the elite cavalry of the cadre army, the Russian army requisitioned a large number of artillery and arquebuses to form a "shooting army" and went to the east to fight.

In 8858, 100,000 Russian troops (including a large number of Beidi and Gosagoan cavalry) and 200,000 cadres fought at the Shilka River, because the Russian army carried a large number of firearms, and the cadres since several victories over the Min army with a large number of firearms, despised the role of firearms, and still used the traditional iron cavalry charge in the battle, with bows, arrows, swords and spears as the main combat weapons, so when attacking the Russian position, they suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat, and the Russian army wanted to completely defeat the cadres after killing and wounding a large number of cadres with firearms, and sent cavalry to pursue, The two sides fought fiercely for five days and nights, with nearly 60,000 casualties among the cadres and more than 40,000 casualties among the Russian troops.

The Battle of the Shilka River was the first and largest battle between the Qianguo and Russia, in this battle, although the Qianjun suffered heavy losses, they were not defeated, and the main force was still there, while the Russian army suffered heavy casualties, its morale was greatly low, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. The Russians understood that they were "powerless to conquer this powerful cavalry empire", and the Bo people had not been established for a long time, their foundations were not strong, and they did not want to fight the Russians to the death, so the two sides called off the war and made peace, and each withdrew its troops. After two years of negotiations and joint demarcation of the border, the two sides signed the "Treaty of Nebuchu," which determined the boundary between the two countries, and the Qianguo recognized Russia's possession of the Siberian region, and the two sides took the Outer Khingan Mountains as the boundary. Since the conclusion of the peace treaty, the two sides have opened border trade with each other and lived in peace for more than 200 years.

During the Xianfeng period of the Qian, the famous "Western Religion Rebellion" broke out in the south, Hong Huoxiu, a native of Guangdong, claimed to be the God of Western Christianity, and after claiming to be the former Min Emperor, he launched a riot, swept the southern provinces, and established a regime that confronted the Qianchao, and the country was called "Shengping Heavenly Kingdom" and "Heavenly Kingdom on Earth" (because it also imitated the costumes of the Min Dynasty, wore long clothes, and had long hair, also known as the "long-haired bandits" rebellion), with its great momentum, the Qianguo Imperial Court mobilized the whole country to encircle and suppress, and the elite cavalry stationed in the northeast region was also requisitioned and sent south in large numbers. As a result, Russia took advantage of the time to invade, and the Western countries wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the civil strife to revise the treaty and seek greater benefits, and the country was in a diplomatic dilemma for a while. Seeing that the main forces of the cadres were in the south to quell the rebellion, and the north was empty, there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they formed a coalition army (the coalition army took Britain and France as the main force, so it was called the battle of the "Anglo-French coalition"), trying to capture Beijing and force the emperor of Qianguo to submit, Emperor Xianfeng was unwilling to be humiliated, and ordered to defend Beijing, and ordered the king of Qin, the division of the king of Qinwang in various parts of the Qianjun army totaled more than 100,000 people and 30,000 allied troops in the area of Beijing and Tianjin. In the face of the armies of the Western powers, armed with foreign guns and artillery, they suffered heavy casualties, and the coalition forces were also frightened by the successive attacks of the cadres. Russia, on the other hand, seized this opportunity to seize a large amount of land in the northeastern region of the Qianguo. When Emperor Xianfeng heard the news, he was filled with grief and indignation, and died soon after.

Since then, although Qianguo Shilin still regards Western countries as "Yidi," he has "looked at it differently" with regard to Russia, which has twice seized large tracts of land in Qianguo. Therefore, this "international diplomatic gathering" was also attended by the Russians as a matter of course.
