In the Governor's Mansion in Shenyang City, there was an endless stream of high-level officials from the four northeastern provinces who came to congratulate Lin Daxin on his happy son and daughter, which made the Governor's Mansion beaming.

Lin Daxin's mouth is about to close in the past 2 days, and now the war with the Russians has occupied an absolute advantage, and the Russian envoys to the Qing Dynasty have come to Shenyang City to find themselves to negotiate peace, and just returned to Shenyang City from the front line of Outer Mongolia, his two wives Ding Xueshan and Du Juan have added a son and a daughter to themselves, it can be said that three joys are coming, and there will be a joy waiting for him in a few days, and the due date of the other 1 wife Liu Xiumei is also in these days, and Lin Daxin's fifth child will also be born.

However, what makes Lin Daxin even happier is that his sexual life can continue in the future, his firepower is strong enough, 4 ladies are pregnant in a row, and even He Yue has been pregnant for 6 months, but it has also made Lin Daxin live a long ascetic life, and now he can make the energetic Lin Daxin happy in bed.

When the adjutant of the Governor's Office received a report from the adjutant of the Governor's Palace, the Russian minister to the Qing Dynasty, the British minister to the Qing Dynasty, the British minister to the Qing Dynasty, Ogner, and the French minister to the Qing Dynasty, Bi Sheng, came to congratulate Lin Daxin on the birth of a son and a daughter, Lin Daxin was discussing the situation in Russia with his cousin Wang Yan in the office.

Wang Yan said with a smile: "That Russian minister in the Great Qing Dynasty, Melkoshakin, seems to be a little out of breath, the telegraph bureau reported. Tsar Nicholas II of Russia sent several telegrams to Melkoshakin, urging Melkoshakin to reach an agreement with us. End this war, which has been going on for 10 months. ”

Lin Daxin took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup and said, "Judging from the intelligence from the Military Intelligence Bureau." The situation in the European region of Russia is very bad, the armed scale of the rebellion is getting bigger and bigger, and most of the troops in the European region of Russia are pinned down on the border with Germany and Austria-Hungary, many cities have been occupied by the rebels, Moscow is also surrounded by the rebels, and the rebels have also organized 100,000 people to advance to St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, and before the Russians have negotiated with us, Tsar Nicholas II has already ordered the commander of the Siberian theater of operations, Kuropatkin. 60,000 Russian troops were sent back to Russia and Europe by train. ”

Wang Yan also took a sip of tea and said: "We have already occupied enough Russian land, at least more than 5 million square kilometers, and it will take a long time for our four northeastern provinces to digest these 5 million square kilometers of land, otherwise we can continue to attack the Russians, and Russia may collapse completely." ”

Lin Daxin shook his head and said: "The Russians will not collapse, unless the Germans take advantage of the fire to loot and suddenly make a move against Russia, we alone will not be able to destroy Russia, at most occupy some more land." Moreover, the supplies on the front line must now be transported from the four northeastern provinces, and if the attack continues, the supply line will inevitably be stretched longer. In addition, although we have always won, the front-line troops have also suffered considerable losses, and by now our army has lost more than 120,000 casualties. The Russians are not the only enemy around us, there are many people who are eyeing us! ”

Lin Daxin has another concern. It was his own Dingbei Army that continued to attack the Russian army in the city of Irkutsk, and Tsar Nicholas II might be ruined. Mobilizing the Russian troops that were pinned down on the border with Germany and Austria-Hungary to exterminate the rebels would not give Germany and Austria-Hungary a chance.

Lin Daxin is very resentful, a while ago the Germans played Lin Daxin because of the alliance, but he always remembered that the Germans had been classified as enemies in Lin Daxin's heart, how could he let his enemies profit now!

Wang Yan listened to Lin Daxin's meaning that he was not ready to fight with the Russians, and nodded approvingly, not only did the 10-month war lose a lot of personnel, but the various materials hoarded in the four northeastern provinces over the years have also been consumed rapidly, especially weapons and ammunition, the weapons and ammunition stored in the arsenal have been almost consumed, and now the arsenal has begun to work in three shifts, 24 hours a day of non-stop production, so that it can barely provide millions of weapons and ammunition consumption of the Dingbei Army, and it is time for the four northeastern provinces to recuperate for a period of time.

Wang Yan asked, "Can you see Melkoshakin there?" Do you want to hang him for a few more days? ”

Lin Daxin thought about it for a while and said: "Let's start talking with the Russians now, they can't hold on anymore, I believe we can get what we want at the negotiation table." ”

So Lin Daxin asked the adjutant to bring the three ministers to the living room of the Governor's Palace, and then Lin Daxin only took Wang Yan to the living room.

When the Russian envoy to the Qing Dynasty, Melkoshagin, saw Lin Daxin walking in, quickly stood up and said, "Dear Governor Lin, on behalf of His Majesty Tsar Nicholas II, I hope to end this misunderstanding with you. ”

"Misunderstanding? Hmph, I don't think it's a misunderstanding, but you Russians took advantage of the topic to play and wanted to occupy my four northeastern provinces to launch a long-planned war, but you didn't expect that not only did you not occupy my four northeastern provinces, but let me occupy millions of square kilometers of your land, but also lost millions of army and almost all of your navy, and even your European region is now in chaos, this is to blame! Lin Daxin didn't give Melkoshajin any face, pouted and said bluntly.

Melkoshakin's face suddenly became rich, if you want to be angry, you have to hold back, you want to show a smile but it's more ugly than crying, what Lin Daxin said is the truth, Russia is indeed playing on the topic of the assassination of the previous minister to the Qing Dynasty, Babrofu, in Shenyang City, but the result is not clear, and it has become what it is now.

At this time, the British Minister to the Qing Dynasty, Ogner, and the French Minister to the Qing Dynasty, Bi Sheng, glanced at each other, and then Ogner said: "Governor Lin, this time Melkoshakin is with the sincerity of Russia, hoping to stop the state of war between you and restore peace in Asia, which is also what our British Empire wants to see. ”

Bi Sheng didn't squeak beside him, he only came to cheer this time, after all, almost all the essence of the French Navy was buried in the hands of the Northeast Navy and airship troops under Lin Daxin. He also didn't have the confidence to put any pressure on Lin Daxin, their French colonies in Asia. Even the protection of the British was needed to avoid Lin Daxin's invasion. If you can come over and have a personal show, you can count it as worthy of the Russians.

Lin Daxin couldn't help but scold secretly in his heart, there are you Britons everywhere, you are really the angel of justice who maintains world peace! I really want to spit, Ogna's face is foaming, shameless Englishman, there will be a chance to clean you up in the future.

Lin Daxin glanced at Melkoshagin contemptuously and said, "Okay, for the sake of the British, let's sit down and talk!" ”

Then Lin Daxin gave Wang Yan a look, and then Wang Yan said: "This war was completely provoked by Russia on its own initiative, so the responsibility for this war should be borne by the Russians." ”

Melkoshakin's face changed even worse. But he nodded and said: "We, Russia, are willing to take part of the responsibility, I don't know what conditions Governor Lin has to put an end to the current tense situation?" ”

Lin Daxin nodded to Wang Yan and motioned to Wang Yan to tell the three ministers the conditions they had discussed, so Wang Yan took out a piece of paper and read Lin Daxin's request.

After Wang Yan finished reading, the British Minister to the Qing Dynasty, Ogner, and the French Minister to the Qing Dynasty, Bi Sheng, couldn't help frowning, and Melkoshakin, as the protagonist, had turned green for a while and purple for a while, and the conditions proposed by Lin Daxin were too harsh.

There are three main conditions for the armistice proposed by Lin Daxin. First of all, Russia ceded all the Russian land now occupied by the Dingbei Army to the four northeastern provinces, that is, about 5 million square kilometers of land east of Lake Baikal and the Lena River, which justifiably became Lin Daxin's territory.

Secondly, Lin Daxin demanded that Russia pay 50 million pounds in war reparations, or the equivalent of gold and silver.

In the end, Lin Daxin demanded that the Russian garrison within 50 kilometers of the border with Lin Daxin's territory in the future should not exceed 300,000. This border includes not only Outer Mongolia and Siberia, but also Xinjiang, which Lin Daxin is about to get his hands on.

But these are the three points, and none of the Russians are willing to agree. So Melkoshakin began to bargain with Lin Daxin and Wang Yan, and Ogener and Bi Sheng also continued to help by the side. I hope that Lin Daxin will relax the conditions.

However, Lin Daxin bit it to death and didn't let go, and there was no way to let the three ministers stomp their feet angrily. The negotiations on June 13 did not achieve much effect, from noon to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the three ministers left the governor's palace in disgrace, and agreed with Lin Daxin to continue the negotiations tomorrow, and Melkoshakin also needed to send Lin Daxin's armistice conditions back to Russia and report them to Tsar Nicholas II.

After leaving the Governor's Palace, Melkoshakin did not return to the Shenyang Hotel with the other two ministers, but went straight to the telegraph office in Shenyang and sent Lin Daxin's request by telegram to Tsar Nicholas II of St. Petersburg.

It may be that the rebel armament really forced Tsar Nicholas II to be anxious, and now he urgently needs to stop the war with Lin Daxin and transfer the troops of the Siberian theater back, he sent a telegram to Melkoshakin hoping that Lin Daxin's first request can reduce some land, after all, no one can accept the abandonment of more than 5 million square kilometers of land at once, the second and third articles of Lin Daxin's request, Tsar Nicholas II did not agree, the second article let Russia take out 50 million pounds, that is, 500,000 pounds, The Russian treasury could not be taken out of it now, unless Nicholas II contributed most of the wealth in his private coffers.

The third Russian did not agree, Nicholas II had the mentality of looking for a place in the future, and now ceded more than 5 million square kilometers of land to Lin Daxin, Nicholas II was ready to get it back with profits in the future, and the Russian garrison within 50 kilometers of the border line could not exceed 300,000, so that the border between Russia and Lin Daxin's territory was as fragile as tissue paper, and it also made Russia feel ashamed, after all, it was too embarrassing to be able to garrison troops at will on their own land. Nicholas II would never have agreed to this.

However, because of the bad situation in Russia's European region, Nicholas II hoped that Melkoshakin and Lin Daxin would bargain, and it would be better to remove the last two, and also discuss the issue of Russian prisoners of war with Lin Daxin.

Now there are more than 650,000 Russian prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camp set up by Lin Daxin, not counting the Russian prisoners of war who died due to illness or various reasons in the prisoner of war camp. If these prisoners of war can be brought back and reorganized into a counterinsurgency in the European part of Russia, then the situation in the Russian counterinsurgency will immediately improve.

In the next few days, the ministers of the three countries spent their time in the governor's palace every day, but Lin Daxin did not have time to talk to them every day, and handed over the task of negotiating with the Russian minister Melkoshakin to his cousin Wang Yan, and Lin Daxin told Wang Yan that the amount of war reparations could be appropriately relaxed, and Article 3 could also be revised according to the situation.

That is, Russia is not allowed to garrison no more than 300,000 troops within 50 kilometers of the territorial border, and whether Russia should start a war or start a war in the same way, this article is only a reference to international practice, and Lin Daxin does not attach importance to this.

However, there is no room for negotiation at all in the first article, and more than 5 million square kilometers of land were snatched back by the officers and men of the Dingbei Army who shed their blood and blood, and it is absolutely impossible to return the land that these soldiers have exchanged their lives and blood for to the Russians at the negotiation table.

After several days of verbal warfare, the Russians finally had to concede at the negotiating table because the situation in Europe was getting worse and worse, and the rebels had already launched an attack on St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia.

On June 18, Russian representatives Melkoshakin and Lin Daxin jointly signed the armistice treaty, and the war launched by Russia to occupy the four northeastern provinces was completely defeated after 10 months of fierce fighting.

The armistice treaty stipulates that with Lake Baikal and the Lena River as the dividing line, the entire 5.12 million square kilometers of Russian territory to the east will be ceded to Lin Daxin, and Russia will compensate the four northeastern provinces for military expenditures of 12 million pounds, pay a ransom of 3 million pounds for prisoners of war to redeem more than 650,000 Russian prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camps, and the two sides signed a five-year non-aggression treaty, stipulating that the two sides will reduce the number of garrisons within 50 kilometers of the long border, but as for how much, because of the strong opposition of the Russians, There was no agreement, and in the end it was only a general statement of reducing the number of garrisons.

The 12 million pounds sterling for the military expenses of the four northeastern provinces and the 3 million pounds sterling for the ransom of the prisoners of war were paid in full by Russia in one lump sum, but the Russian treasury did not have any money, and Tsar Nicholas II would not take money from his own private treasury, and this huge amount of money would be loaned to Russia by France.

The cessation of the signing of the treaty made the Russians breathe a sigh of relief, although Russia lost a lot of land and had to pay Lin Daxin a huge amount of money, but Russia finally got out of the quagmire of the war and could focus all its energy on the rebel forces at home.
