Chapter 1591: The Alliance Under the City
In order to show the sincerity of the peace talks, Mikhailovich had to order the temporary suspension of military movements in various places, and he himself came to Vladimir to sue for peace with the Ming army.
Qin Mufeng gave Mikhailovich a lot of face, and the army retreated back twenty miles again, and Song Jiaxing also came to the forefront and met Mikhailovich in Vladimir City.
"General Song, this time, I came in person to show my absolute sincerity in peace talks, and I also ask General Song to come up with your conditions, as long as the Russian Empire can do it, I will definitely agree to it, so as to ask you to withdraw your troops......"
In the city of Vladimir, Mikhailovich made a rare gentlemanly salute to a general and whispered.
"What, you still think our conditions are too high?"
Song Jiaxing said with a smile.
Mikhailovich's face was bitter, and he replied: "General Song, the commission is too high, our Tsarist Russia's annual financial income is only more than 10 million taels of silver, you will ask for all our annual income for a year, then then, tens of millions of people in Tsarist Russia are really going to drink the northwest wind, and there is also the issue of territory, your opening, from the desert to the far north, from Kazan to Eastern Siberia, the land with a radius of more than 10,000 miles has been turned into the territory of the Ming Empire, this, this is too ......."
Song Jiaxing said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then how much do you say should be compensated?" Or a tael of silver will not be compensated? ”
Mikhailovich was overjoyed and replied randomly: "That's the best, but you're not going to say yes, are you?" ”
"Hmph, you're not stupid! If you don't compensate for a tael of silver, it's not impossible, you just need to follow the general's army to the Ming Empire and ask our emperor for his guilt in person, and that's it......"
Song Jiaxing replied.
Mikhailovich's heart trembled, wiped it, go to the Ming Empire, then I can come back alive? I'm dead, so Tsarist Russia has been preserved, and there is a fart? I haven't lived long enough......
"General Song, hehe, you're laughing."
Song Jiaxing's face turned pale, and he replied: "Okay, I won't give you nonsense, I'll only let you go once, you can promise if you can, if you can't, then see you on the battlefield, when the time comes, it's not just as simple as compensating for silver, I will personally capture you back to Daming, and then let you wash the feet of His Majesty the Emperor for the rest of your life!" ”
Mikhailovich nodded hurriedly, as long as he was willing to give in, then everything was negotiable......
"The same four conditions, first, to compensate the Ming Empire for 12 million taels of silver, which is the loss and price we paid in the war, you as the invading party, must take it out, however, thinking that you are financially tight, you can be given a grace period, within a month, deliver 5 million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty, equivalent to 1.2 million taels of gold, you can also pay with gold, you can also pay with silver, and then, the remaining 7 million taels of silver, you are allowed to pay it off in installments within five years, the interest, forget it, I don't want yours; Second, with the Ural Mountains as the boundary, our Ming Empire gave up all territorial claims west of the Ural Mountains, including Kazan, and the Ming Empire and the Rakshasa Kingdom took this as the boundary, the east is the territory of the Ming Empire, and the west, how you like to toss and how to toss; Third, all goods entering Tsarist Russia in the future of the Ming Empire shall not be taxed; Fourth, in order to maintain the hard-won peace and express the willingness of peace to the Ming Empire, your country must not maintain military strength east of Kazan, of course, the Ming army will never cross the Ural Mountains and march westward, your troops can loot and go to war in the west of you, and the Ming Empire will never interfere, and even, in order to show support for your country, we are also willing to export a certain amount of weapons and equipment to your country; As long as the above four points are achieved, then I will sign a peace agreement with the Rakshasa Kingdom on behalf of the Ming Empire, good-neighborliness and friendship, and within a hundred years, we will not invade each other's territory! ”
Mikhailovich's face was bitter and he wiped it, although these four conditions were lowered, they were still unbearable for Tsarist Russia.
"Why, aren't you satisfied? Mikhailovich, according to the habit of the Great Tomorrow's mighty army, has always been if people offend me, I will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, look at those countries in the West, England, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, these countries are because they sell Fushou paste to the Ming Empire, we have directly driven out of the entire South Seas, their forces in the South Seas have been uprooted by us, if it is not for the fact that the march into the West Ocean has to detour through black Africa, forming twenty or thirty thousand miles, too far away, our army has already swept these countries to the plough court, you will be content! ”
Song Jiaxing sneered.
Mikhailovich asked in a deep voice: "General Song, let me ask again, you are the man of your word, and in the future, you will guarantee that you will never invade Tsarist Russia again within a hundred years?" ”
Song Jiaxing nodded and replied: "I can assure you that as long as your Tsarist Empire does not take the initiative to provoke and invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty, then our Ming army will definitely not take the initiative to provoke a war and invade Tsarist Russia!" ”
"Then, in that case, the last small request, can the compensation for the first payment be reduced to four million taels of silver first, and the remaining eight million taels of silver, we will pay the ...... of your country in full within five years."
Mikhailovich asked cautiously.
Song Jiaxing said coldly: "It's okay to lower the standard, in this way, within four years, how about paying off the indemnity of 12 million taels of silver of the Ming Empire, 3 million taels of silver per year?" We don't think much of ourselves, and it's not good to say that you're crazy......"
Mikhailovich was still a little hesitant, although he reduced the amount of the first payment, but the repayment period was also shortened by two years......
"Can you ...... on the deadline?"
Song Jiaxing's face turned cold, and he shouted: "Mihailovich, you don't have to get an inch, four years, 12 million taels of silver, must be paid to the Ming Empire, whether you steal or rob!" Aren't your Western countries very rich, if you have the ability, you will rob it, anyway, our war reparation conditions will definitely not change again! If you don't agree, then our 100,000 elites in Mobei will be killed together, and your Rakshasa Kingdom will wait to destroy the country! ”
Mikhailovich shuddered fiercely, only 20,000 elites came, and the Rakshasa country couldn't stand it now, if another 100,000 elites came, then the special Rakshasa country would really be destroyed!
"Okay, okay, I promised, I promised!"
Mihailovich hurriedly said, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Poland, Finland, Norway, and even Eastern Rome, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless, there is no way, if you want to live, you can only have a knife......
