\ Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Chapter 591 This is only the first reason why Nikolayevich can suddenly remember it in all his helplessness

Gulaevich remembered this Alaska. ★ Aishang Novel Network is updated rapidly (╰→dushuge), and the complete novel ★ is located at the end of the North American continent. It is connected to Canada in the east. To the west and the existing land of the empire is separated by the Bering Strait. A lonely land that belongs to his empire.

This territory dates back to the XVII-XVIII centuries. After the unremitting efforts of the "land pioneers" of his empire. I found out. The eighties of the last century. The people of his empire began to build settlements there. And in the last two years of the last century. The Russian-American company was founded there. Not only the exclusive operation of fishing and hunting places there. A portion of the mineral deposits have also been discovered and mined.

Nevertheless. For Nilaevich. Alaska is also a barren land that doesn't have any great value. After all, one-third of Alaska is within the Arctic Circle. The climate there is cold. Except for the southern coast. Elsewhere, the average annual temperature is below freezing. It's not a place for people at all.

This is only the first reason why Nikolayevich was able to suddenly remember it in all his helplessness.

What about the second reason? As soon as he said this, he said. That's a bit of a long story.

It was the spring of the year before last. Duke Yagorkov, who had just been appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs by His Majesty Nikoyevich, was holding a letter. With a bitter face, he came to the luxurious office of his majesty Nikolayevich. Originally. The Foreign Minister received a letter from an extremely important figure in the Imperial Government. This person is none other than that. It was Nikolayevich's sibling brother, Grand Duke Konstan Nikolayevich. And the content of the letter. It is the government that should find a suitable rich master as soon as possible and sell Alaska as soon as possible.

The Grand Duke Konstan Nikolayevich was recuperating in France at this time. In the letter, it is well documented. This idea of the Alaska concession that he proposed. That's perfectly in line with modern requirements. He reminded the Minister of Foreign Affairs. At this point, we all don't have to deceive ourselves. Rather, it should be seen with foresight. The United States of America wanted to dominate the entire North American continent as a whole. So. At some point in the near future. We will go to great lengths to seize these territories of ours. And there's no way we can put them in our arms and hide them. What to do? Could it be according to the weak strength of Emperor 1 at the moment. It can be like in the Far East with the Chinese. Fight inextricably and finally break the bloodstream? Again. These territories in Alaska do us little good. And betray them. Especially in this case, selling them can not only bring a lot of income to the financially depleted emperor 1 at the same time. It will not cause any excessive repercussions at home and abroad......

For this Grand Duke's land was built. Duke Gorchakov was naturally in a dilemma. He naturally knew it. The reason why Grand Duke Konstan Nikolayevich was able to come up with such an almost ridiculous idea. Behind the back of this Grand Duke. There will definitely be a lot of supporters. And these supporters. Without exception, they must all be wealthy and powerful.

Although he was never in favor of any of the territorial affairs of the empire at any time. But. He could not ignore the opinions of these magnates. So he had no choice but to report the matter to his tsar.

The Foreign Secretary did not expect it to be. Not only did he not express any surprise at such an unprecedented event. There was not the slightest resentment and anger either. Instead, he showed a look of great interest. Immediately give instructions to the royal pen. "It's an interesting discussion. value considerations. ”

The foreign minister, of course, did not know. What he encountered was just a "bureau" that some people had already designed in advance.

In fact. On the question of the intention to sell Alaska at the right time, Nikolaevi was already at a house gathering somewhere. Having already received the Grand Duke Konstan Nikolayevich built yì and had a consultation and calm and careful thinking. It's a secret thing that only a few people are involved in.

His Majesty Nikolaevich even knew. The question of Alaska is on his desk. That goes back even further than five years. That is, one day in 185.

That day. An American businessman named Sanders, who claimed to be doing business, arrived at Fort Peter. But. He didn't do any business. Instead, he quietly paid a courtesy to His Royal Highness Grand Duke Konstan Nikolayevich, the younger brother of the tsar. At the Grand Duke's mansion, the two had a secret conversation for a long time......

As for whether his younger brother accepted a heavy bribe from the American businessman. Nikolayevich, who was only the crown prince at that time, certainly did not know. But from this, he knew that Alaska, which was a barren land, could also be sold for money.

Recently. With the increasingly severe situation at home and abroad. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Konstan Nikolayevich was in urgent need of a large amount of money to replenish the shy treasury. I thought about it even more urgently. And rush to put it into reality. Regardless of whether it was His Majesty Nikolayevich as one of the conspirators. Or Konstan Nikolayevich, who is the main leader of this conspiracy group

The next knows. The new Foreign Secretary must be in their way. Even an insurmountable chasm.

If it is to be Alaska plan to be implemented. The first thing that must be done is to "subdue" the foreign minister.

Thereupon. His Majesty Nikolayevich personally directed a live newspaper drama. A letter was written by Grand Duke Konstan Nikolayevich to the Foreign Minister. Raise the matter publicly. Because the stakes are heavy. The Foreign Secretary, who has always been strict in his work, will take the letter with him in a moment. Go and meet His Majesty the Tsar. At this time, His Majesty Tsar Nikolayevich not only showed great interest in this matter. It is also necessary to reiterate the "consideration of value". Afterwards. and a member of the group of conspirators who have a good personal relationship with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Tap and dial privately. So. Minister of Foreign Affairs who was extremely loyal to the Tsarist cause. It is quite possible that there will be a change of position.

But. The conspirators hit a soft nail. Duke Gorchakov is indeed worthy of the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs. He was the most loyal gatekeeper of Tsarist Russia. He found many famous ministers among his colleagues. Trying to awaken their sense of national sovereignty. Hand in hand with him to defend the honor of the Empire. Although the attitude of these people is a sin that they don't want to do at both ends. But the duke was not discouraged. Don't give up. In the face of strong pressure. In desperation, the duke considered it carefully. The word "drag" was adopted. His Imperial Majesty acted in a hurry. The sale of Alaska should be put on hold. On the one hand, it is possible to concentrate on dealing with the great crisis in the Far East. On the other hand. How can we wait for our envoy to the United States to really find out the intentions of the American side. to decide the trade-off.

Duke Gorchakov was lucky. Because of his Majesty Nikolayevich Xià Minister of Foreign Affairs. If you put him in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It is estimated that a hundred heads are gone. Nikolayevich was not a great dictator of the Manchu court. Opinion to the Minister. It's still very respectful. Since the foreign minister on whom he relied was still so stubborn. He had no choice but to do anything for the time being. Slow down. But. After January Nikolayevich on the question about whether to sell Alaska. A new instruction was made:

First. Alaska is for sale. As for when it will be sold. Allow for discussion later;

Second. On the question of how much exactly it should be sold for in Alaska. It shouldn't be too entangled. As long as someone can buy it. Take the money out of your hands. The price can be greatly reduced.

It is precisely because of the above reasons. Nikolayevich thought of Alaska quite normally at this time. He wasn't just looking for a better buyer for Alaska.

Of course. These are the ones mentioned above. It's all things that have been made public or semi-public on the surface. As for choosing this time to discuss with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government about Alaska. Nature has a deeper meaning in it. Big face Nikolaevich did not say. It's hard for others to know. But there's a small detail. I can't help but mention it in passing.

Chairman Lin Haifeng expressed the precious gift given to him by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government after being beautifully packaged. It turned out to be a whole box of penicillin injections.

According to the recollections of the chamberlain of the Winter Palace. His Majesty Alexan II, Tsar Alexander, who returned to his bedchamber that year. When I saw this big box of penicillin. They are rare to find. His Majesty the Tsar Xià in the eyes. There were crystal tears shining.

Originally. The eldest son of Nikolaevich. That is, the emperor of his empire. Nikolai, who just turned sixteen this year. Back three years ago. That is, the year in which he had just ascended to the Tsar's throne. This precious son was sadly infected with that creepy tuberculosis. To save his son's life. Nikolayevich can be described as heartbroken.

He at that time. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which has already known that half of China, actually has an injection that has a strange effect on tuberculosis. That is, penicillin. Thereupon. In order to be able to get to this miracle medicine. Nikolaevich tried his best. Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: - The road is definitely impassable. So. The black market in Europe. The dignitaries of France. Almost all of them were the objects of pleading with his ministers abroad. He even sent people seeking medicine to the French army that was fighting him in the Crimea, however. This drug is just too rare. No matter how much wealth you have in your majesty the Tsar. In the end, there were still only a few miracle medicines that could be obtained.

At last. Seeing my son's illness getting heavier and heavier day by day. Nikolayevich, who thought he could do everything. Utterly hopeless. Nikolai will not live long, this is probably the unanimous consensus of all those who have ever met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Of course, it is no wonder that Nikolaevich became so excited at that moment.

Are the Chinese really so elusive?

Right now. What Nikolaevich did not expect. His intention to sell Alaska to the other party was just as soon as he said it. The more complex trading processes that follow have not yet been discussed. He found the head of His Excellency the Chairman of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom opposite. I almost fell off my neck when I shook it.
