"What? Do you want Xinjiang, Mongolia and the whole of Northeast China? This, how can this work? Sezana's eyes widened, completely unable to believe that the Russians would make such a condition. This is almost equivalent to ceding the whole of northern China to the Russians! The appetite of the Russians is too great. Sezanne did not dare to guarantee that the Manchu government would not accept the Russian terms, but in his own opinion, it certainly would not.
"Master Sai, why not? If the Qing Kingdom is defeated by the Chinese Empire, you will have nothing. Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northeast China in exchange for the whole of China is undoubtedly a good deal. Ivan, the Russian minister to the Manchus, said.
Seishan's face was still cloudy, and the Russians demanded too much to accept. This is completely robbery while the fire is burning! However, he had to admit that what the Russians said also had a point. If the Manchus were defeated by the Chinese Empire, they would have lost all their lives, and there would be nothing left. It would be a good choice if Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northeast China could be exchanged for the whole of China. Compared with the barren Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northeast China, the south is much richer.
"Lord Sai, as long as the Qing Kingdom is willing to agree to our conditions, we will fully support the Qing Kingdom and defeat the Chinese Empire." Colonel Nevelskoy continued. He knew that this was a great temptation for Qing Guo, and Qing Guo would definitely agree. After all, it is much better to lose millions of square kilometers of land, and it is still barren land, than to lose an entire country!
"Your Excellency, Special Envoy. Can Russia guarantee that it will help us defeat the rebels? Sezanne asked.
"Of course, Lord Sai, Russia has prepared an elite army of 150,000 troops. It also surrounded 50,000 brave Cossack cavalry. With the cooperation of our army, we will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese Empire. Colonel Nevelskoy said.
"One hundred and fifty thousand? Your Excellency the Special Envoy, is this a little too little? Sezanne frowned. The Manchus and Qing had millions of new troops, and it was too easy for the Russians to exchange 150,000 men for the whole of northern China!
"Lord Sai, these 150,000 troops are just the first batch of troops. There will be a second and even a third batch of troops to follow. These reinforcements. Reinforcements will be made depending on the situation on the battlefield. As for the reinforcements, the Sai people can rest assured that Russia has 1.4 million 6 armies. Once we are fully engaged, it will not be difficult to defeat the Chinese Empire. Russia's 6th Army is famous all over the world, although the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire has already emerged. But it is still far from being comparable to the Russian 6th Army. Colonel Nevelskoy began to boast. As a matter of fact. Tsar Nicholas I was ready to throw troops into the East was only 150,000 men. Although Russia has 1.4 million 6 troops, there are many places where it needs to use troops, especially in the south, which borders the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and is an area heavily guarded by Russia. Colonel Nevelskoy believed that with 150,000 elite Russian troops and 1 million Qing troops, it would be enough to defeat the Chinese Empire. At that time, there will naturally be no need to send the second and third batches of reinforcements. That's why he said that. It's just to reassure Sezanne.
Sezana nodded, after receiving reassurance from Colonel Nevelskoy. He has a bottom in his heart. Of course, whether to agree to the conditions of the Russians or not, it is also necessary for the regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu and the ministers of military aircraft can only reply after discussion, and this is not for him to have the final say. If the Chinese Empire can be defeated, it would be cost-effective to trade Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Northeast China for the whole of China.
"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, Your Excellency the Minister, I will do my best to inform His Royal Highness the Regent, and as for whether the Great Qing Dynasty will agree to the conditions proposed by Russia, I dare not guarantee it." Sezanne said. He can only play the role of a messenger, and if he has an idea, he has to be made by the regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu and Wen Qing, Minister of Military Aircraft. Of course, Cezanne believes that Ai Xin Jueluo. Mianyu and Wen Qing and others are very likely to agree to the Russians' request. After all, the current Manchu Qing Dynasty has reached the point of desperation. It is undoubtedly very cost-effective to exchange the barren lands of Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northeast China for the rich provinces of the south. What's more, those rebels in the south still have a large area of territory overseas, and maybe after defeating the Chinese Empire, they will be able to pocket those overseas territories. In this way, the Manchus made a lot of money.
"Lord Sai, then you have to bother. You can rest assured, if the Qing government can accept our conditions, you will definitely be indispensable at that time. Ivan, the Russian envoy to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, said with a smile on his face.
Sezanne nodded, he was not an incorruptible official in the first place, and if he could make a fortune from the Russians, he would certainly not refuse. Besides, this matter was also very beneficial to the Manchus, and Seshana did not think that it was detrimental to the interests of the country.
Ivan, the Russian minister to the Manchus, and Colonel Nevelskoy, the special envoy of the Governor-General of the Far East, Muravyov, boarded the carriage and returned to the Russian embassy in Beijing. This meeting, on the whole, was not bad, and basically achieved the expected goal. Now, they just had to wait for a reply from the top of the Manchu government.
"Your Excellency, it is hard to imagine that this vast empire could decay to such an extent. No wonder they were defeated by the British, and no wonder the Chinese Empire was able to rise so quickly. Colonel Nevelskoy said with some sighs.
"Your Excellency, isn't that just right? With such a neighbor, Russia will have a much better life in the future. We can continue to benefit from this neighbor, and one day, even swallow the country completely. Minister Ivan said with a wistful expression.
Colonel Nevelskoy also nodded, this Eastern Empire has a population of 400 million. But they have been enslaved by two million Manchus for two hundred years, and if Russia can completely occupy this country and enslave these 400 million Chinese, Russia's strength will definitely swell to a very terrible point. At that time, Russia's strength will definitely surpass that of Britain and become the world's number one power.
After the departure of the Russian minister in Manchu and Colonel Nevelskoy, Sezana immediately asked a sedan chair to be prepared, and he was ready to enter the palace at once. Mianyu and the other ministers of military aircraft negotiated the terms of the Russians.
"Your Highness, my lords, this is the condition of the Russians. If we cede to them the land north of the Heilongjiang River and east of the Ussuri River, they will send troops into the war to help us attack the Chinese Empire. If we are willing to cede Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northeast China to the Chinese Empire, the Russians will do everything in their power to help us defeat the Chinese Empire! They promised that with the strength of Russia, they would be able to defeat the Chinese Empire! "Seshana put forward the conditions put forward by the Russians to the regent Aisin Kyoro. Mianyu and several other military ministers said.
"The appetite of the Russians is too big, right? They actually want Xinjiang, Mongolia and the whole of Northeast China? Aren't you afraid of choking them all to death? Minister of Military Aircraft and Minister of War Shangshu Yucheng said.
"Your Highness, can you agree to the conditions of the Russians! These are all lands left by our ancestors, and if they are handed over to the Russians, what will we have to see our ancestors in the future! Mu Zhang'a made his opposition clear.
The regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu and Wen Qing, the minister of military aircraft, did not speak. Although the two of them also thought that the conditions of the Russians were a bit harsh, it seemed that it would be a good choice if they could exchange these useless lands for Russian support and completely defeat the Chinese Empire. After all, the Chinese Empire had become the mortal enemy of the Manchus. If they lose the war, then they will lose completely. Even if there is no land, it will be of no use.
"Lord Mu, I think it's acceptable to the Russians. The Chinese Empire is the great enemy of the Qing Dynasty, and this future war is a matter of great importance, and we must win the war. Even if it costs a lot, it's worth it! Minister of Military Aircraft Pan Shien said. Although he was a Han Chinese, he now regarded himself completely as a slave of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
"Humph!" Mu Zhang'a snorted coldly and didn't say anything more. Anyway, he's already made his point pointed.
"Lord Wen, what do you think?" The regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu asked. He was able to become the regent, but Wen Qing made a lot of efforts, which made him very dependent on Wen Qing. Wen Qing's power is also the heaviest among the ministers of military aircraft.
"Your Highness, I agree to agree to the conditions of the Russians. The Russians want Xinjiang, Mongolia and the Northeast, then give them to them. As long as the Chinese Empire can be defeated, the Qing Dynasty will have hope of Zhongxing. If we can fully accept the industrial base of the Chinese Empire, the Qing Dynasty will become stronger and stronger. When the time comes, we will have a chance to take back these lands. The European powers are not monolithic. Russia also has a lot of enemies, and when the strength of the Qing Dynasty increases, the European countries will definitely face up to the Qing Dynasty. When the time comes, we can choose a country that has an enmity with Russia, and when the war against Russia breaks out, we will attack the Russians and let them return to us all the land they have taken from us! Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing said.
"Your Highness, Lord Wen's construction is really wonderful! That's a good idea. Saishana hurriedly agreed. In this way, the Manchus would not lose anything, but would be able to destroy the Chinese Empire. (To be continued......)
