The Russians' big country mentality is really strong enough, even if they have just fought a big defeat, and the country has just experienced a bloody coup, but this mentality of thinking that they are strong has not been too restrained, no, after being treated coldly by Hongqing one after another, and being treated "rudely" by Hongqing, the Russians brazenly rose up, and just after being kicked out of the barracks, they immediately sent a major officer with a diplomatic note, intending to lodge a solemn protest to Hongqing, but unfortunately Hongqing did not eat this set at all, Not only did he not meet the major officer, but he ordered him to be thrown out of the barracks with a note, yes, like a broken sandbag.

Protest, a very interesting diplomatic trick, but, the weak to the strong protest will never have the slightest effect, as for the strong to the weak to protest, in fact, it is not called protest, but blackmail, obviously, in Hongqing's view, Lao Maozi is just an out-and-out weakling, whether it is military strength or economic strength, hard indicators such as population, or soft indicators such as scientific and technological development potential, have been left far behind by today's Qing Dynasty, as long as there is no major mutation, Even if you can't catch up with the Qing Dynasty, you don't need to pay attention to etiquette or etiquette for such robbers who don't want to beat the door, what you need to show is strong muscles.

Hongqing's time is very precious, but he doesn't have the time to play a marathon-like negotiation game with Lao Maozi, how did he come directly, as for whether it will provoke Lao Maozi to hold a grudge, Hongqing doesn't care at all, there is no other, not to mention that the Qing Dynasty is in an absolutely advantageous position now, and he doesn't need to care about Lao Maozi's attitude at all, besides, for the so-called agreement, Hongqing has never had any hope, as far as he is concerned, the value of that thing is no different from a piece of paper, of course, In order to stabilize the hearts of the people in China and deal with the difficulties of Emperor Chengde, the contract conditions that the good students strive for, Hongqing will not be soft, and at the beginning he put on a tough posture is one of the negotiation techniques, in this regard, Hongqing is obviously a veteran, and he will play up, it is really smooth, and there is no psychological burden at all.

Two days is really a short time, almost in the blink of an eye, there is no doubt that such a little time, for the Russians, is naturally not enough, there is no other, although the text given by Hongqing is only a dozen pages, but the scope of the coverage is extremely wide, and they are all very harsh, at least from the perspective of the Russians, it is simply harsh to the point of poison, completely unacceptable, but the Qing Dynasty is now extremely strong, although the Grand Duke Petrovich is very dissatisfied, but he does not dare to study the so-called peace talk text, Trying to find some way to deal with it, and this, obviously, it takes a lot of time, and two days can be very important, in desperation, I had to send someone to send a note again, asking Hongqing to be more lenient, this time, Hongqing did not be tough to the end, but very humane to give the Russians another two days, but, at the same time, also issued an ultimatum, that is, once the negotiation process is started, it is necessary to reach a framework consensus within three days, otherwise, a qiē or see you on the battlefield.

In the face of Hongqing's tough ultimatum, the Russians naturally played a trick of protest again, but Hongqing didn't eat that at all, according to the old example, and threw the old Maozi who came to protest out of the camp, ignoring the slightest room for discussion, there was no side, expressing a tough attitude is only one aspect, the main reason is that Hongqing's time is already very tight - Emperor Chengde has begun to act indiscriminately, a few days ago he sent Meng Guangzu to Lanzhou to take over the post of Shaanxi Governor Yanxin, Then Li Shuangchun and Liu Chengen, the two henchmen of Hongqing, were transferred out of the northwest in the name of promotion, and replaced by Sayanmo and Liang Xuwen, the two henchmen of Emperor Chengde, who had risen again.

"Your Royal Highness, thanks to your kindness, we have had the privilege of studying the proposal proposed by your country, but unfortunately the terms proposed by your country are too harsh to be accepted, and I would like to express my deep regret."

At three o'clock on the fifth day of the seventh month of the third year of Chengde, the Sino-Russian bilateral meeting officially began in the Qing army camp, attended by three people from each side, all of whom were the principal and deputy envoys of the two sides to the peace talks, and each had a number of stenographers and interpreters.

"Your Excellency Don't regret it, if you can't talk about it, you don't have to talk about it, this king has said that if your country wants to talk about peace, you can only talk about it according to our text, otherwise, this peace talk will be stopped here, and you can go."

Hongqing was always tough, as usual, and as soon as he heard the interpreter's paraphrase, he waved his hand expressionlessly, and pointed out the necessary conditions for peace talks at the beginning, without the slightest accommodation.

"Your Royal Highness, my Lord Christ, the Son of God, teaches the world to be loving and forgiving, so that there may be less strife and more peace in the world.

As soon as Hongqing's tough words came out, Grand Duke Petrovich was choked on the spot, and he really didn't know how to deal with it for a while. Palov? Archbishop Sibilsky suddenly interrupted.

"Archbishop Sibilsky, I'm sorry, this king is not religious, if you have any teachings to say, you should go and tell your military, if it weren't for your country's brazen invasion of our Qing Dynasty, this king would not have to go to this distant land to suffer, and now, since your country has been defeated, don't talk nonsense about peace-loving with this king, or just go straight to the topic, what sincerity do you intend to show to make peace?"

Archbishop Sibilsky was obviously a figure accustomed to preaching, and he told a lie with great sincerity, as if he were really a lover of peace, but it was a pity that Hongqing did not accept this at all, and as soon as he finished translating and paraphrasing, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently and unceremoniously blocked back Archbishop Sibilsky's words.

"Your Royal Highness, after urgent consultations, in accordance with the principle of friendship and peace, and in accordance with the spirit of the original Treaty of Nebuchu between you and us, we would like to express our most sincere apologies to you for this misunderstanding, and agree to pay double the amount of compensation originally set for 300,000 taels of silver to compensate you for your losses, and promise to severely punish the culprits who started the war without permission, and give you an explanation, hoping that your country will allow us to bring back the soldiers captured in this war, and we promise that there will be no more misunderstandings like this."

Although Archbishop Sibilsky is a well-spoken master, when preaching in the past, his tongue is not an ordinary thing, but when he meets such an unreasonable master as Hongqing, he was also stunned and speechless.

"Oh, what a sincerity, so in this way, is your country not going to negotiate peace? Well, this king will lead his army to visit your country's Ufa Fort, and see how many days the 1,212 defenders in the fort can hold back the king's army? ”

Hearing that Petrovich openly made a peace negotiation condition that was not much stronger than sending Hanako, Hongqing's eyes immediately flashed with a gleam, but he didn't get angry, he just smiled coldly, and replied with a slightly cold voice.

"His Royal Highness the Prince said with a smile, your two countries are originally friendly countries, although there is a misunderstanding this time, we should not meet each other?

After listening to the interpreter's paraphrase, Grand Duke Petrovich's face was a little unpleasant, no, Ufa Fort is located in the middle of the Ural Mountains, it is an important military fortress on the transportation arteries of Eurasia, once it falls, the entire Russian Empire will be completely cut in half, and the European part may be saved, but Siberia, which is extremely empty in troops, is destined to fall into the hands of the Qing army, and this, for the Russian Empire, is obviously an unbearable burden, if it is usual, Grand Duke Petrovich may not care about Hongqing's threat, but right now, Hongqing even said how many troops there are in Fort Ufa, and it is obvious that the reality of the Siberian Plain has already been clearly probed by Hongqing, and Grand Duke Petrovich can't be hard even if he wants to, so he can only force out a smile that is better than crying and can't see where to go, and Si Siai copes with it.

"Heh, what does Your Excellency think?"

Although Hongqing had already known about the brazenness of the Russians, he couldn't help but feel angry when he saw Grand Duke Petrovich talking nonsense like this at this time, but he didn't have a seizure, but asked with a sneer.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is so humorous, it is really a model for my generation, hehe, the friendship between your two countries has a long history, I firmly believe that there will never be a disagreement because of this misunderstanding, a qiē is negotiable, if His Royal Highness the Prince is dissatisfied with the amount of compensation, you can directly say, as long as I have it in the Russian Empire, I will definitely not lose the territory, this can be guaranteed."

Grand Duke Petrovich is worthy of being a veteran diplomat, although he is very flustered in his heart, but he can play haha, but he is still full of nonsense, and he turns the sensitive topic away after three or two turns, trying to avoid the truth and the false.
