In August 1689, representatives of China and Russia gathered in the city of Nebuchu on the border between China and Russia to start a-for-tat diplomatic negotiation, and then signed the Treaty of Nebuchu, which stipulated that the city of Nebuchu belonged to the Russian Empire and the city of Yaksa belonged to China.

In a castle in the city of Nebuchu, more than a dozen Russians celebrated with their crowns, including the Governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, the naval officer Nevelskoy, the tsar's envoy Birovsky, and the new Russian minister to China, Ignatiev.

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Birovsky poured another glass of vodka for the Governor of Eastern Siberia and flattered him in a flattering tone: "Congratulations to your Excellency the Governor-General, you are now a count!" His Majesty the Tsar praised you in public! ”

Naval officer Nevelskoy asked cooperatively: "What did His Majesty the Tsar say?" ”

Birovsky immediately said in an exaggerated tone: "My dear Muravyov! He took a territory equal to the French Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia combined, and a river as long as the Danube, without firing a single shot, and he was a hero of Russia, and I would like to inform the soldiers at the front of the army that the territory of the Russian Empire has grown larger again! In recognition of his merits, I officially named him the Earl of Heilongjiang! ”

"Hahaha!"

"Congratulations, Your Excellency!"

"Right...... Congratulations, Earl, when we annex the whole of the Northeast, you will be a Duke! ”

Muravyov waved his hand reservedly and said seriously: "Thank you for your efforts. The yellow-skinned monkey is no longer good, as long as our family puts in the effort. The entire Northeast is our Russian Empire, when the time comes. I promise you're all counts! ”

"Ulla!"

"Ulla! Count Ula! ”

Muravyov smiled at the reveling crowd, pulled the trusted minister to China Ignatiev aside, and asked with a solemn face: "How did the Crimean War go?" I heard that the British, the French have already sent troops! ”

Ignatiev said angrily: "Since our army entered the countries of the Danube Valley in July last year, Turkey has declared war like our country, damn it!" How dare these natives go to war with the great Russian Empire! ”

"I'm asking if Britain and France have sent troops!" Muravyov frowned and asked again.

Ignatiev smiled bitterly and said: "As you know, on March 28 this year, Britain and France declared war on our country, and when I came. The country has decided to withdraw its troops from the Danube countries in order to concentrate its forces against the combined forces of Britain and France! It has been a few months since we were at war with them, dear Governor-General, don't be delusional any longer, His Majesty the Tsar always thought that Britain and France would not dare to send troops, but they sent troops, and His Majesty thought that we would soon be able to defeat the coalition forces, but we were occupied in a fortress in the Baltic! This is a protracted war! ”

Muravyov paused for a moment, then asked, "The Three Emperors Alliance Treaty." Didn't work either? Austria and the Kingdom of Prussia just stood by and watched? When they were invaded by Napoleon, it was us Russians who helped them to restore their country! ”

Ignatiev shook his head and replied, "They have already signed a defense alliance agreement, and they will not join this one." In this way, we can draw troops from the Western Front! ”

Muravyov clenched his glass and said angrily: "This is a wrong war. It influences my decision-making! It will also affect our plan to annex the Northeast, which is in my plan. We can even annex Mongolia and give me 200,000 men. I can annex Beijing and enslave the entire Chinese, what a brilliant plan, all let this war be ruined! ”

Ignatiev patted Muravyov on the shoulder and comforted: "The Chinese are so weak, you see, just scare them a few words, they will honestly cede us 600,000 square kilometers of land, we can continue to use this method until the entire northeast is annexed, and those Manchus will let them go to God!" No, leave the women behind! ”

Muravyov smiled bitterly: "You don't know the Dao, in June this year, I sent Mantowsky to attack the Han army, do you know what the result of the Dao is?" ”

Ignatiev thought for a while, and suddenly said: "It's that Cossack boy!" I remember that he was a regimental commander, and with those thousands of Cossack cavalry, the Han army could not stop them, and I must have achieved brilliant results. ”

Muravyov sighed: "You are wrong, Mantowsky was killed in battle, only half of a regiment came back, according to the deputy commander, they fought with the Han army three times, the first was an ambush battle, the Han army was annihilated, but strangely, not a single one surrendered!" The second battle was a storm, the Han army was about 30,000, our army suffered heavy casualties in several attacks, and Mantowsky was killed five hundred meters in front of the position! ”

Ignatiev exclaimed: "Five hundred meters! What kind of weapon is this? Our army is armed with muskets capable of firing up to 300 meters, I see, this is a British or French rifle! ”

Muravyov nodded: "This is exactly what I am worried about, if the British and French are massively armed with this rifle, will we still have a chance to win!" The Russian Empire was to bear the bitter consequences of defeat. ”

Ignatiev shuddered, thought about it carefully, and said: "I definitely didn't receive relevant news before I came, do the British want to use them as a secret weapon?" We should get this rifle, which, with the level of domestic craftsmen, will definitely be able to be copied in the fastest possible time! ”

Muravyov shook his head and said bitterly: "It's useless, I have already reported this news to the War Department, but they don't care at all, and they warned me not to meddle in my affairs." ”

"Damn it! These moths, they must be afraid of spending money, because they took all the money back home, and the front-line soldiers fought desperately to serve the tsar, but they knew that they were eating, drinking, and being corrupt, and the tsar was blinded by them, so he would not hesitate to start this war! Ignatiev said all the words that were held in his heart in one breath, and added: "I was just excluded by them, so I was transferred to the Far East!" ”

Birovsky staggered over and said with a smile: "Dear guys, what are you talking about here?" The wine is almost out of the drinks, these naval officers can really drink! ”

Muravyov put his arms around Birovsky's neck and whispered: "Dear Birovsky, I have a task for you to do, and if you can complete this task, I recommend you to Moscow!" ”

"Really!" Birovsky was surprised and delighted, it was his dream to return to Moscow, where there were wine beauties, singing and dancing banquets, a man's paradise, and he never wanted to miss that charming body!

Muravyov nodded and spoke: "You are once again heading to the south, this time with the task of spying on the equipment of the Han army and the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor towards the northeast!" ”

Birovsky asked, "Aren't you going to the Northeast?" I'm the best at dealing with those yellow-skinned monkeys! ”

"No, no, no!" Muravyov corrected: "It's Beijing!" The city has been occupied by the Han State, and their Emperor His Majesty has already settled here, so if you take a few more people there, you must find out their equipment, especially the powerful muskets, I don't want to know anything about them! ”

"Don't worry! Your Excellency the Governor, I will definitely complete the task, just like last time! Birovsky repeatedly assured that he secretly thought that the last time he went to Beijing, he got a priceless jade Ruyi, which was sold for tens of thousands of rubles, and that he had been in Moscow for several weeks, and that he would rather die there if he had not rushed back to Siberia in a hurry. I don't know how much I can get this time, but the more I intimidate them, the more scared they will be, and the more valuable the gift will be!

Ignatiev interjected: "I'm going too!" There is an old Chinese saying, called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent to win all battles, I want to investigate the national strength of this Han State in detail, like the report of His Majesty the Tsar! ”

"That's the best! It's just hard for you, you just came from Moscow, and you're going to be tired from running around! ”

"Pledge allegiance to His Majesty the Tsar!"

Birovsky looked at the excited two with a bitter face, and pretended to be excited. (To be continued......)
