With the implementation of the details of the preparations for the negotiations between Xia and Russia, the village of Andreev in the north of the city of Jima has changed greatly these days, and three rows of tents have been built one after another, of which the east and west rows of tents are the camps of the escorts of the envoys of the two sides, and the large tent in the middle, which can accommodate more than 50 people, is the official meeting place.

On the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the 19th year of Wucheng in China, on July 26, 7225 in the Russian creation calendar, the border negotiations between Xia and Russia officially began.

The first step in the negotiations was for the envoys of the two countries to inform each other of their identities and authority, and to greet each other's sovereigns. When this whole process is completed, the negotiation will reach the stage of facing the gong and the drum.

"We demand that the two countries take the Yenisei River as the dividing line." The Beihai Metropolitan Protectorate Honglu made Jia Wenqing unsurprisingly start with the largest territorial claim that Wang Ying had ever made. "The eastern part of the river is divided into the territory of our dynasty, and the western part of the river is divided into the territory of the Oros, but the area where the Yenisei River flows through the Western Sayan Mountains should be the boundary between the two countries with the southern foot of the Western Sayan Mountains."

"First of all, I will only oppose your proposal on behalf of Russia." Registrar Yakov, who had participated in the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchu, stood up at the signal of Count Magnitogor and spoke. "According to the border treaty signed between Russia and the Qing Empire, the border between the two countries is bordered by the Ergun River and the Stanov Mountains (Trans-Khingan Mountains).

"I'm sorry, the Qing Empire in Your Excellency's mouth is the old enemy of our Chinese court, and any treaty signed by the enemy has no reason for our court to recognize." Hu Zongxun, the deputy envoy of Honglu and the foreign officer, responded in a sarcastic tone. "The reason for our dynasty to propose the territory is that the above-mentioned areas are the land where the Khalkha people live and graze, and now the Khalkha people are the subjects of our dynasty, and I am entrusted by the king of the Western Khalkha county, Tashibatu Khan, and the king of the North Khalkha county, Tushetu Khan, to take back the above-mentioned territory."

"As far as I know, the indigenous people of the area are Buryat Mongols and have nothing to do with the so-called Khalkha Mongols in your country." As one of the few remaining high-ranking officials in the province of Irkutsk, Baron Sergeyevsky took part in the negotiations, knowing that if he did well in the negotiations, he might be able to save his career, otherwise he would only become the laughing stock of the upper class and return to the territory as a country tycoon. "And Russia has colonized the whole of Siberia for 5o~8o years, and the ownership of the local area has long belonged to Russia."

"Sure enough, it was a robber." Jia Wenqing sneered. "According to Your Excellency, it is legal for Jianlu to steal my Shenzhou, but it is not right for me to overthrow the tyranny and restore China, because China has been ruled by Jianyu for 80 years."

Sergeyevsky said disdainfully: "Your Excellency, this is a border negotiation between the two countries, please don't talk about your internal affairs." ”

Anwenhua seemed to be irritated by Sergeyevsky's attitude, and said to Count Magnitogor: "Since your country thinks that its occupation for fifty years means that the Oros state has sovereignty over the area east of the Yenisei River, then I will immediately terminate the talks, and we will negotiate again in fifty years." ”

Although it cannot be ruled out that the Russians do not know the actual military strength of the Chinese side, it does not mean that there is a problem within the Russian side, so he wants to test it to determine whether to make concessions in the next negotiations - in An Wenhua's opinion, it is best not to make any concessions, after all, the current qiē is all made by military attachés such as Wang Ying and Murong Jingming, so the merits are mainly in the military attache system, And the civil official system in the Dadu Protectorate can only salivate but can't get involved, at most it can take a trick to maintain the transshipment, so if you can't take food in the negotiations with the Russians, I'm afraid you can't explain it; Of course, if you can't explain it, you can't give up all the land you have already obtained in the negotiations, in that case, not only will it be useless but also excessive, and you will have to be impeached and seized, and you will have no chance to get ahead in this life.

Count Magnitogor frowned, and muttered in his heart, could it be that the Russian army in Krasnoyarsk on the Chinese side has begun to retreat and is ready to change its strategy and solve the problem by force? The thought that there were now less than 15oo Russian troops and 35oo Cossack cavalry in the entire province of Eastern Siberia made the count feel a little weak.

Therefore, the old earl had to try to appease An Wenhua and the others who were leaving: "Your Excellency, I heard that China is an extremely civilized country, but if you can't convince the other party in words to use force, it is a barbarian behavior, which obviously does not match your identity, so let's solve the problem in negotiations." ”

Count Magnitogor is also an old treacherous and cunning, and his words are so clear that outsiders can't hear any problems, and An Wenhua, who is a little disappointed, can't help but squint his eyes: "Barbarian? It's ridiculous to say that we are barbarians, who is killing and submitting their vassals, who is forcibly occupying the territory of other countries and still being complacent. ”

Even more unpleasant words could not be translated into Mongolian and Latin, nor could they be translated from Mongolian and Latin into Russian, but this was enough, and after the so-called count exchanged words with the Russian officials around him, he learned what An Wenhua was referring to from Baron Sergeyevsky, and he was extremely embarrassed for a while.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know anything like this ever happened." After a moment of silence, the count reluctantly apologized to An Wenhua for the robbery of the Buryat tribes that had taken refuge in Russia. "It was just an accident, but in the final analysis, it was the chaos caused by your country's attack." It was not a clever move to put the blame on Xia Jun, so before An Wenhua made the first concession in his heart, Count Magnitogor made the first concession with blood in his heart. "Russia may recognize the area east of the Lower Lena River in Yakutsk and the area south of the Lena River between Oreokminsk and Yakutsk up to the Stanov Mountains as belonging to the Chinese Empire, in exchange for the exchange of your country for the Upper and Lower Baikal regions."

Count Magnitogor's abacus is excellent, what he said are uninhabited mountains and cold jungles and the permafrost zone in the north, except for a very small number of points and strongholds are inhabited, the rest of the area is dominated by wolves, with such a barren land in exchange for the relatively rich Baikal area, not to mention the value of the money, but at least the gains outweigh the losses, not to mention that the strength of the Xia Army's naval division is beyond the hostility of the Russians who have just set foot on the Pacific coast, so in the eyes of Russia, which has not been formed even long after the Baltic Fleet, The loss of the gateway to the Pacific Ocean is not unacceptable.

An Wenhua didn't answer, but just glanced at Jia Wenqing, so the Honglu envoy made a-for-tat concession: "Our dynasty can give up the area east of the Yenisei River to the north of the Lower Tunguska River, and the area from the Lower Tunguska River to the east of the Lena River, in exchange for the return of the Oros State to the other areas requested by our court." ”

Although it has long been known that this is a concession that the Chinese may accept, the Russian side is as uncomfortable as eating flies, for the simple reason that the northern Siberian lowlands and the Central Siberian plateau are also no-man's land, and in a certain way, it is an excellent counterattack from the Chinese side to Count Magnitogor Tiyì.

"If the Oros state feels that we have made too few concessions to the DPRK, we can continue to give up the areas south of the Lower Tunguska River, north of the Angara River, south of the Vylyui River, and north of the Lena River." Hu Zongxun said quietly. "Only the area east and south of the Lena River and the area east of the Yenisei River and south of the Angara River are required to be retained. As for the narrow strip of land between the Angara River and the Lena River, our DPRK also hopes that the two sides will be divided by the line between the two towns of Ust-Ilimsk and Kilensk, with the north going to the Oros and the south to the owning of our DPRK. ”

This was the minimum territorial claim that Wang Ying had put forward at the beginning, but it was still impossible for the Russian side to agree, so Sergeyevsky proposed a new proposal on behalf of the Russian side: "On the basis of the previous proposal, our side can agree to hand over the land between the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River and the Ergun River to the Chinese Empire." ”

Although this is an area equivalent to the entire Jianghuai Province, for An Wenhua, without Beihai, he bought most of the Beihai at that time, so he made it clear: "It is impossible for our dynasty to give up the surrounding areas of Beihai." ”

This attitude made it impossible for the negotiations to proceed, so the Russians had to offer a temporary adjournment.

Returning to his tent, Baron Sergeyevsky said to Count Magnitogor in a complaining tone: "The Chinese are too greedy, and only the saber can make them understand that there is a heavy price to be paid for the invasion of Russian territory." ”

Count Magnitogor naturally heard the baron's subtext, so he smiled bitterly: "You should tell the generals about this, but unfortunately, we have no reinforcements." ”

A group of Russian officials in the Irkutsk province were shocked: "Your Excellency, didn't the reinforcements stay in Krasnoyarsk to raise military rations?" Why do you say there are no reinforcements, what's going on? ”

"Grain? It is precisely because of the grain. The old earl pointed to the land where oats and rye should have grown. Do you know how much food a 20,000-strong army consumes in a day? Not only can the local people not be able to provide food, but they also need relief from the army, do you think that the Russian ** team can continue to fight as long as they eat grass? ”

The officials of the Eastern Siberian provinces looked at each other and did not know how to speak, and in the end it was Baron Sergeyevsky who asked: "So, we can only agree to the blackmail of the Chinese?" ”

"I can only fight for it step by step." The Count sighed. "When we renegotiate tomorrow, let's try to exchange the Nizhny Baikal region for the upper Baikal region??????"
