Wang Feng really did not guess wrong, after the Russian Governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, put forward the unreasonable demand of ceding the land north of the Heilongjiang River and south of the Outer Khing'an Mountains, although Xianfeng fell ill and left a mess behind, but someone always had to deal with the matter, Yixun took it as a matter of course, and he was also very reluctant to take over, and continued to negotiate with Murajoviv.

Muravyov saw the weak nature of the Qing court, and his attitude was very tough, and he did not give an inch, and finally reluctantly agreed to sign the treaty first, and not announce it until the victory of the battle against the Democratic Alliance, so as not to bring turmoil in the people's hearts.

"Huh~~" Sheng Xuanhuai spat out viciously and said coldly: "I see that Xianfeng's qi is about the same, and he actually lured a wolf into the room, no, it is to drink a donkey to quench his thirst, what is the difference between this and the Hui army that was invited by the Tang Dynasty to relieve the siege of Chang'an a thousand years ago?" You're not going to sit idly by, are you? ”

Wang Feng sighed slightly, and then said: "I will go to Hanyang in person, come here, and let the Fourth Army wait for me in Nanjing, and I will go over to meet him tomorrow." ”

"Yes!" A member of the Black Hawks hurried away

The atrocities of the Russian army were not concealed, but were exposed through the "Xinhua Daily", and in the early morning of the next day, the news spread, and for a while, the people's resentment in the land of Jianghuai was boiling, of course, this was not against the Democratic Alliance, but against the Qing court and the Russian army.

There were even many young people who spontaneously came to the gate of the Government Council to demonstrate, demanding that troops be sent immediately to rescue the people of Jingxiang, strike hard at the Russians, and avenge the tragic deaths of their compatriots!

In the midst of the turmoil, Wang Feng took some women's special troops led by Zhou Xiuying and Yang Shuijiao, and some Black Eagle members led by Zhou Yanqi. There was also a press corps headed by Fu Shanxiang, who hurried to Nanjing to meet Su Sanniang.

Almost at the same moment. The port of Xinga was crammed with ships, and it was filled with warships of all types. There are behemoths with a displacement of 5,000 or 6,000 tons, paddle steamers with a displacement of several hundred tons, the latest rifled gun battleships with iron armor, and the three-deck warships with smoothbore guns that are old but still not to be underestimated.

In addition, there are nearly 1,000 transport ships, think about it, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, and the materials consumed along the way are astronomical. This is still the full mobilization of several supply points on the African continent and in India.

What's more, the types of artillery are not uniform between countries, or even within a country, and there are many types of shells alone.

Since Britain was one of the conveners and the world's largest power, the commander of the coalition forces was naturally the British Field Marshal Baron Raglan, who had commanded the Crimean War a few years earlier, and when victory was in sight, he had to withdraw because of the communist revolution in his country, which made him very unhappy. Therefore, after hearing that it was necessary to form a coalition to use force against China, Mao recommended himself and asked to go on another expedition.

Although Raglan was a field marshal, he was an adjutant to the prestigious British General Wellington. He was the undisputed heavyweight, and probably had some compensity for him, so the council agreed to his request.

The deputy commander was Alexander of Russia. Prince Menlev. Coincidentally, he was the commander-in-chief of the Russian side in the Crimean War. Although the strength of the Russian Navy is very weak, those few paddle steamers that are rare in the world's navies come from the Russian army.

Merely. Russia was the victor in the Crimean War and the only country that sent pure ground troops to participate in the war, so it had to be given an important position anyway. Therefore, he served as the deputy commander of the coalition forces, and he also had the intention of competing with Raglan again.

Other important figures included the new Governor of the Straits, Cavena, Vice Admiral Fernand of the Spanish Navy, the former Governor of Portugal in Macao, Kimarão, the Austrian Field Marshal Gioulai, the Governor of the Dutch East India Company from Jakarta, and Vice Admiral Brückney of the Prussian Navy.

The eight giants stood on the high place of the port, looking at the port below, talking to each other, but they all kept a certain distance from Prince Menlev intentionally or unintentionally, after all, the Russians are known for their barbarism and rudeness, and they are barbarians in the eyes of Europeans, and Russia's strong expansion has brought more or less threats to European countries.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Prince Menlev's face gradually sank, and he said coldly: "It's hard for me to imagine that so many warships are gathered just to attack China, so what kind of country is China?" There was no industrial base at all, their army still used spears and shotguns, their rulers were cowardly, and the British suffered great losses in China one after another, I have to doubt the actual combat effectiveness of the British army.

The five of them all looked at Raglan and Gaviner with strange eyes, and everyone knew about the feud between Britain and Russia, so no one intervened, just waiting to see a good show.

Raglan snorted coldly: "I don't know who was surrounded by me in Sevas Potor four years ago and couldn't move, if it weren't for the outbreak of revolution in my country, I'm afraid that a certain gentleman would have raised his hand to surrender, or he could be killed directly!" ”

Prince Monlev's old face was red, ashamed and annoyed, during the time of the siege, he was extremely desperate, looking forward to the emperor's majesty to surrender to Britain, but what he did not expect was that the communist revolution broke out in Britain, which made Russia win a victory in vain.

Looking at Prince Menlev's expression, Gavina also smiled disdainfully: "If you are lucky, you have the qualifications to laugh at the Chinese?" Don't blame me for not reminding you that China is very strong now, and you Russians had better put away that arrogance when facing China, otherwise it was captured by the Chinese, but don't blame me for not reminding you, of course, the China I am referring to is not the Qing State bordering Russia, but southern China, and you will soon be surprised. ”

"Humph!" Menlev snorted angrily: "In any case, the result of the war was Russia's victory, and luck is also a kind of strength, which shows that God is on the side of us Orthodox Christians, and Orthodox Christianity is the orthodoxy of Christendom." ”

"Really? But strictly speaking, you Russia is indeed quite lucky, when the Ottoman Turks broke through Constantinople, the royal family of the Eastern Roman Empire was exterminated, but the last princess of Byzantium, Sophia, escaped, was still the Grand Duke of Muscovy Ivan III, and married as the queen, since then, the Moscow office has a noble royal blood of the Eastern Roman Empire, and brazenly claims to be the heir of Byzantium, with this signboard, it was able to annex many principalities in the Rus region, otherwise, I am afraid that today, The Russians are still a Tatarized barbarian! Gavinna shrugged his shoulders with contemptuous hands.

Unexpectedly, Menlev was not angry and drew a cross on his chest: "I said earlier, luck is also a kind of strength, Princess Sophia came to Moscow under the guidance of God, and Muscovy is also the heir of Eastern Rome recognized by God." ”

"Alright, alright! Don't turn over old accounts! Brückny hurriedly stood among the three of them and persuaded: "Gentlemen, it is not yet time to quarrel, we have been in Singapore for a long time, let's discuss how to send troops." ”

"I have lived in the Far East for a long time, and I am familiar with this area, this season has passed the local hurricane season, we should not wait any longer, but should remember to leave, I heard that the Qing army is ready, waiting for our arrival." ”

Ujilai asked, "Then how should the interests of our seven countries be distributed?" I think it's better to make it clear first. ”

Raglan said without hesitation: "All the harvest is centrally managed, and after the end of the war, according to the number and output of the main battleships and cruisers, I believe this is a very fair plan." ”

This option was undoubtedly the most beneficial for Britain, whose main battleships in the combined fleet were second to none.

Fernand rolled his eyes and agreed, "I agree, it's a fair plan. ”

Although Spain's national strength has declined greatly, its shipbuilding technology is still there, and the number of main warships in the combined fleet ranks second, not to mention that there are several huge ships in Manila, which can be pulled over to participate in the war against China and obtain more benefits.

Fernand did not think that he would be able to overtake Britain and receive the second most benefits, and he was already satisfied.

Kimarian and Mount Amyrit looked at each other and nodded reluctantly.

Portugal and the Netherlands were both traditional maritime states, and although they were small and weak, they still had some family backgrounds, and the number of main warships in the combined fleet was the fourth and third, respectively, and they knew that they could not compete with Britain and Spain, and it was not bad to be in the middle.

What's more, they are not entirely here to make money or water, their main purpose is to eliminate the Democratic Alliance forces and restore order in the South China Sea and Southeast Asia, so it doesn't matter if they suffer a little loss in terms of profit distribution.

However, Prince Menlev, Gioulai, and Brückny immediately looked very unhappy.

This can't be helped, whether it is Russia, Austria or Prussia, they are all land countries, the strength of the navy is very average, and the number of main warships in the combined fleet is also seven, six or five, and Raglan's proposal is obviously in favor of the maritime countries and unfavorable for the land countries.

"I disagree!" Prince Menlev immediately objected!

"Oh?" Raglan said lightly: "Why? Why. ”

"This" Prince Menlev was speechless, because logically speaking, there is no problem with the distribution plan proposed by Raglan, who has the most strength, who will naturally take the lion's share, this is a matter of course, he actually wants to put forward an equal distribution plan, but there is no strength to support it, he can't say it!

"Humph!" Raglan snorted coldly with disdain: "You can't tell the reason, I'll treat you as unreasonable, this time we don't care about you, but I don't want there to be a next time." ”

"Wait!" Prince Monlev was blessed to the heart, and hurriedly said: "Even if according to what you said, whoever contributes more will be able to share more, then don't forget, we Russia still have 50,000 ground troops participating in the war against China, and in terms of numbers, your six countries together can't catch up, so I ask Russia to enjoy the first distribution right."
