"Five million taels of silver!" Li Yunzhong refused without thinking: "No way!" I won't use a tael of silver for these territories, I can still get them back, but not with silver, but with bullets and shells! ”

Alexander didn't know what the topic was and returned here, and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, this land is not taken from China, this is an enclave, whether it is for Russia or China, he is on the other side of the sea. ”

"Alaska!" Li Yunzhong couldn't help but exclaim, it turned out that this land was sold to the United States, but he didn't expect that the big man could get a piece of the pie.

Alexander said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you already know the way, yes, it is that land. ”

"It's a miracle that you Russia would take the initiative to give up its homeland!" Li Yunzhong really doesn't understand why Russia has always been a land-loving country, so why it is acting like this today.

Alexander decided to tell the truth, he found that the emperor in front of him was not easy to fool, and perhaps he already knew why.

"The British have already sent their fleet to the Far East and are ready to capture Alaska, and I have decided to sell this land while the British have not yet decided to do so."

Li Yunzhong waved his hand and replied: "Can the big Han buy it, we are the hostile side." ”

Alexander replied: "I don't want to sell this land to the United States, the United States is strong enough, Russia cannot border two powers, if I choose, I would choose the Great Han over the United States." ”

Li Yunzhong understood what he meant, it turned out that he was afraid that one day the Han Dynasty would destroy the country and attack Russia.

"I can buy this piece of land that Russia wants to sell, but I will only pay a million taels of silver, which is already the highest price. Of course, we can talk about some other conditions. ”

Alexander nodded busily, the main purpose of his visit was to buy a repeater gun. No way, the European battlefield is too brutal. Hundreds of thousands of troops fight together, and it is often a decisive battle that wins or loses, and this decisive battle may only require a few thousand people to participate, and the casualties are only a few thousand, if anyone uses the bead gun here, who will have the upper hand, Russia has suffered a lot in this regard, whenever the heroic imperial soldiers rush forward in a neat queue, they are often greeted by countless bullets.

Li Yunzhong knew that Russia really couldn't hold on. The war is about to end, and Britain and France will definitely not let the Han dominate Asia, they will instead support Russia and Japan, just to contain the Han State, the Han should have prepared early, taking advantage of the current Russian hatred of Britain and France, so that they can lose both.

Li Yunzhong pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "As you think, the Great Han is allied with the Kingdom of Prussia. The Russian Empire has always been friendly with the Kingdom of Prussia, and as long as Russia does not expand like the East, the Han can also be friendly with Russia, and Britain and France have become our enemies. ”

Alexander did not hesitate to say, "As you wish." The Russian Empire has stopped its expansion in the East, and I hope that your troops will be withdrawn from Russia as soon as possible, and we will concentrate all our efforts on a decisive battle with Britain and France. ”

Withdraw? It's not that easy. Li Yunzhong smiled: "Not yet, but please rest assured." After the war, the Han Dynasty must return all the land and will never occupy an inch of the Russian Empire. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke, my army will not take the initiative to attack, you know, there are many British and French advisers in my army, and a rash withdrawal of troops will only make them suspicious. ”

Alexander had a gloomy face, if the Han State did not withdraw its troops, Russia would send troops to defend, who knew if the Han State would take advantage of the fire to rob, he would not decide on his own.

Of course, Li Yunzhong did not have a good heart, as far as he knew, there were many serf uprisings in Russia, as long as he supported a few in Siberia, he could naturally weaken the strength of the Russian Empire, and when the time was ripe, these regimes would be vassals of the Great Han, and the vast Siberia would be the pasture of the Great Han, and the resources would be taken at will, but the future Russian Emperor in front of him did not seem to agree.

Alexander really would not agree that the strength of the Han Dynasty had been beyond their expectations, there were hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the territory, and the Russian Empire was in danger of falling at any time, which was more important than competing with Britain for hegemony in Crimea, and he would rather make peace with Britain and France unconditionally than see his own national territory occupied.

"Your Majesty, you must understand that Russia is a great power, and now it is only being dragged by Britain, if we make peace with Britain, then the European powers will invade the Far East from the new, including China, this is not something Your Majesty is willing to see, I come with sincerity, I hope Your Majesty will consider it carefully."

Hong Renji watched very anxiously from the sidelines, there is a way to accept it when it is good, the emperor wants to take the fire between the three powers of Britain, France, and Russia, and if he is not careful, he will provoke the armies of the three kingdoms, and how can the Han resist at that time, and the British also launched a war against China a few years ago, so they will launch a second time, or make friends with Russia, and avoid future troubles as the best policy.

Li Yunzhong secretly said: Only when your own country is strong, can you have the confidence to speak, if the Han is as strong as Britain, now the Russians are afraid that they will beg themselves not to send troops, but now they are threatening themselves, no matter what, the Crimean War lasts for one day, give the Han a chance to develop, or don't provoke Russia.

"Your Excellency is right, the contradictions between the Han and the British are irreconcilable, and now the alliance with them is also forced, as long as Russia returns the land that has occupied China, I will order the front-line army to stop advancing."

Alexander showed joy, which was just his appetite, and immediately took out a copy of the "Treaty of Nebuchu" signed with Kangxi more than a hundred years ago to demarcate the boundary between the two countries.

After re-surveying according to the map, Alexander let go of a preoccupation, and thought of the main purpose of his visit to the Far East, and deliberately stopped talking.

Li Yunzhong smiled secretly, didn't he just want to buy a bead gun! This bamboo pole is not knocked on white, and it is not knocked on white.

"What else is there to do with Your Excellency the Crown Prince?"

Alexander said in a strange tone in Chinese: "I heard that the big man has developed a new type of serial gun on his own, I don't know if we can authorize Russia to produce it, and we will pay a sum of gold as compensation." ”

Alexander had already practiced this sentence many times, so it was very easy to say, he came to Dahan thousands of miles to get the blueprints of the serial guns, and it was best to buy a batch of armed front-line troops.

Li Yunzhong deliberately embarrassed and said: "The envoy doesn't know, the bead gun is jointly developed by the Han Dynasty and the Kingdom of Prussia, only sells products, not drawings, if Russia can develop it itself according to the structure of the rifle, we will not interfere." ”

Alexander was secretly depressed, the Russian military industry has tried many times, and the products produced have been unqualified, there is only one problem, the bullet is always jammed, I heard that the British have simulated this kind of continuous gun, so he can't wait to come to Dahan to get the drawings.

"I hope Your Majesty will allow it, as far as I know, Britain and France are producing this form of cannons, and Britain and France blockade Russia, it's no secret, in a few months, Your Majesty will send us drawings, I'm afraid Russia can't save the defeat, and my country is willing to pay a high price to buy cannons, I hope Your Majesty agrees."

Li Yunzhong smiled secretly, deliberately embarrassed to explain: "A bead gun is equivalent to 120 silver dollars, 100 is 12,000, and 10,000 is 1.2 million silver dollars, I'm afraid your country can't afford to spend it." ”

Alexander knew that the other party had to grit his teeth and admit that he had won the Crimean War, and naturally countless gold, silver and jewelry would flow into Russia, and the current silver money was only a drop in the bucket, but at present, Russia's finances were tight, and the only way to buy a repeater gun was to use the yellow that had been stockpiled over the years.

Alexander's heart was dripping with blood and he asked, "Can you take credit first and wait until the end of the war to pay?" ”

Li Yunzhong refused without hesitation and raised his voice: "Of course not, the Dahan Arsenal is a joint venture with the Kingdom of Prussia, and every rifle in it has a number, if it is on credit, it is difficult for the Kingdom of Prussia to account for it." ”

Alexander's chest seemed to be hollowed out, his waist bent slightly, and asked, "Then can it be cheaper to pay with gold, I plan to buy a large number of bead guns." ”

Li Yunzhong was surprised and delighted, who doesn't like gold, and hurriedly asked, "How much do you want?" ”

Alexander held up two fingers and replied, "I want 20,000 at a time." ”

Good boy! Li Yunzhong was very surprised, it seems that Russia intends to fight to the end, what is good about Crimea, not only Britain is trying to trick the big men into sending troops, but even Russia is like a war for the whole country, regardless of blood costs.

"Don't hide it from Your Excellency, the Han only has 10,000 in stock, and 20,000 Lianzhu guns are far beyond our ability, unless we ......"

Alexander assured: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I have brought the gold to Siberia, and we will pay the money and deliver it with the other, and we will never be in arrears." ”

Li Yunzhong hesitated, and decided to tell the truth: "The Han Dynasty agreed with Prussia that half of the guns produced would be sent to Prussia free of charge, but now all of them are backlogged in Guangzhou, waiting for the Kingdom of Prussia to pick up the goods, there are more than 10,000 rifles there, I'm afraid the Kingdom of Prussia is not easy to talk to!" ”

Alexander sighed and replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, our country has always been friendly with Prussia, and I will solve this problem, as long as Your Majesty hands over the rifle to us within the next month, the place of delivery will be located at the junction of Xinjiang and China." ”

Li Yunzhong silently calculated for a moment, 20,000 rifles are 2.4 million silver dollars, which is about 200,000 taels of gold and gold, this is a big deal, the big Han can get a net profit of 150,000 taels of gold, plus the gold land of Alaska, developed! It's developed! Wrong! Wrong! That's the idea they played!

"To buy this piece of Alaska, I can only pay a million taels of silver, not more."

Alexander smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the United States has already bid two million dollars, if Your Majesty can't exceed this price, then we can only sell Alaska to the United States." (To be continued......)
