Chapter 350: The Russian Mission

The meeting of the Political Council did not go well, and all the members agreed with Wang's proposal to prevent gender imbalance, but they did not understand that the law should be enacted for both doctors and patients, and that the maximum penalty could be punished for manslaughter.

In fact, such a high punishment, not to mention these people, is placed in the future generations, and I am afraid that many people will not be able to accept it. However, Wang Yi is a doctor after all, and things that he can't help himself in the hospital have become commonplace, and in desperation, he can only lose his conscience, and it is really difficult to be a good person in the future life. If we really want to put an end to a bad thing, we will not start with both parties and only restrict one of the aspects, and the effect of dealing with the problem in this way will always be limited. It is like putting an end to the sale of * prostitution * prostitution * in the Celestial Empire, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not. But if only the woman who has lost her footing is convicted and the prostitute is spared, then the market will always be in the market. Then there is the anti-corruption campaign, which only punishes corrupt officials and lightly punishes bribe-givers, which is of little use.

Although there was a certain clash of opinions on the matter of ultrasound, everyone in the political chamber knew that as long as Wang Yi confirmed the matter, then the matter would definitely be cleared. At least this situation will not be broken until Wang Yi's decision-making is seriously affected.

However, Wang Yi himself did not like the feeling of being offered up in this way, and for the sake of future system construction, he would rarely adopt the method of forcibly implementing his decisions in the political council, and would generally present facts and reason, and engage in a confrontation of opinions with all the members of the opposing side. And with the knowledge and experience he learned in later generations, or more precisely, he has the attributes of transcending the times in his worldview, so most things can always be satisfactorily resolved. And those issues that cannot be agreed upon, many times Wang Yi himself is not thoughtful. Some of the views put forward by the committee members will often give him some new inspiration and enlightenment, and will make him more comprehensive and objective in thinking about issues.

Compared with the current confrontation of the Political Discussion Bureau, there is another confrontation in the Northeast Autonomous Region that is more intense! That is the territorial boundary negotiations between the Northeast and the Russian Empire, which is a continuation of the war between the two countries, and it is clear to both the Russian side and the Northeast that if a consensus cannot be reached here, then there will be no peace between the two sides.

The preliminary talks between Tang Shaoyi and the Russian ambassador to the Qing Dynasty, Kuman, had ended by the end of October, and the only common intention of the two sides was to hold border talks as much as possible.

It was not until Vasilyevich was brought to the negotiating table in the northeast that the Russians capitulated on the issue of prisoners of war, and a prisoner exchange ceremony was held two days earlier. However, the huge disparity in the number of prisoners of war between the two sides made a one-to-one exchange completely impossible, even with the relatives of those who had surrendered.

The Russian captives, who had had great hopes of being repatriated, were suddenly shocked to find that the Russian authorities were only interested in the nobles, lords and young masters, and as for ordinary soldiers like them, it was as if they had been forgotten. Of course, the Russian government is also bitter, and the perennial war has long made Russia's finances unable to make ends meet. The government simply can't come up with enough money to bring its soldiers back home, and on this issue, the Northeast is like an extremely stingy businessman, and even a penny less is exempt from respect.

Originally, Kuman was still wishful thinking of asking the Northeast to help them raise soldiers, but when Vasilyevich called out, tens of thousands of Russian soldiers either chose to mine or choose to become soldiers when they had no hope of returning home. In later generations, miners were high-risk industries, let alone in this era. And it is naturally much better to be a soldier, and the Northeast also promised these Russian soldiers that under normal circumstances, they would never let them participate in the battle against Russia. In this way, the choice between being a soldier and mining is naturally a breeze!

Because there are so many soldiers who surrender, of course, not all of them will be recruited into the insurance team. Vasilyevich was in charge of this work, and the original special operations regiment became five. Vasilyevich's special operations regiment became a special operations division, consisting of three regiments, but the garrison was still Hokkaido. Another regiment was transferred to Ryukyu Tanegashima and placed under the responsibility of Sa Zhenbing's South China Sea Fleet. The last group became Wu Xiao's subordinates in Southeast Asia.

As for the remaining surrendered soldiers, most of them were exchanged for the families of the soldiers of the insurance team, but there were still some Russian soldiers who could not be exchanged for their return to China, so they were arranged by the Northeast to do heavy labor, open mountains and build roads and mine, etc., and they could not be supported in vain. Although Vasilyevich felt that his compatriots were pitiful, he did not ask Wang Yi again, and he also understood that he had to know how to be a man.

In mid-November, the official Russian negotiator, Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich, and his son Nikolai Jr. finally took a cruise ship to the North-Eastern Autonomous Region. Before arriving in Tohoku, they also paid a neon visit to the neon court, where the Meiji Emperor and Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito met in person, and the two sides held talks in a friendly and warm atmosphere, and achieved fruitful results, vowing to cooperate in various fields. Later, the Grand Duke and his sons also wanted to visit the Qing court, but Guangxu refused, apparently the emperor did not want to offend the bandits in the northeast at this time.

Kuman personally welcomed Grand Duke Nicholas ashore in Port Arthur, and then went to Shengjing, where he stayed at the Friendship Hotel of She's Fat Man's family. Just three days before their arrival, Li Hongzhang, the minister of Beiyang of the Qing Dynasty, also rushed to the northeast and became the representative of the so-called suzerainty together with Prince Yixun. The meeting was also attended by envoys from other countries, but the Red Cross did not participate in the meeting, as the issue of prisoners of war had been resolved after the preliminary negotiations.

After a grand welcome ceremony with flags fluttering and confetti flying in the sky, the negotiations finally began in earnest at the Friendship Hotel. It was only then that the entire Russian delegation really felt the cold of the Northeast, and Nikolai and his son finally understood the source of Kuman's forced laughter after seeing them.

On behalf of the Northeast in this diplomatic negotiation is Foreign Minister Zhao Liewen, as well as his deputy Tang Shaoyi, and the other person is Zeng Jize. Unlike the previous negotiations, the main topic of this negotiation was the future territorial division between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia. If only the Northeast participates in it, it will not be possible to coordinate its position with the Qing Dynasty on the territorial issue. After all, the territorial claims put forward by the Northeast also include the return of the Central Asian territories stolen by the Russians in the Beijing Treaty between Qing and Russia, that is, the territory where the old scorpions are now entrenched, and the Great Yuz region of Kazakhstan.
