Chapter 539: Sino-Russian Treaty of Moscow

"Xia Jun has fired!" 龗

"Hidden! Hide! Hide!"

Rumble –

In the rumbling of artillery, countless shells crossed the tall walls of Moscow and smashed on the streets and houses of the city like torrential raindrops, and the soldiers and civilians in the city scattered in all directions screaming.

Boom –

A cannonball whizzed past a chapel with a towering minaret in the city, the minaret of the chapel was smashed by the cannonball, and fell heavily under the screams of the civilians below, the civilians below desperately tried to escape, but their speed was not comparable to the speed of the falling heavy objects, in just a few seconds, dozens of civilians were buried in the rubble, and there was no movement.

"Run! Run!"

Civilians run in a panic on the dirty, sewage-laden streets, and although Moscow is now the largest city in Russia, it is not much more hygienic than it was in the Middle Ages, when it was known for its filthiness. 龗

A pair of boots stepped on the puddles of sewage on the street, splashing pieces of fishy water, and if it was in normal times, the civilians would have stopped and cursed loudly, but by this time they didn't care so much.

"Damn, how dare Xia Jun shoot at Moscow during the negotiations?"

Grand Duke Miroslavsky, who heard the report, rushed out quickly, and after he rushed out, he just saw the scene of the city trembling under the shelling, and his face was like ashes, and he couldn't help but curse.

"This is the Xia people demonstrating to us." Grand Duke Vasily Golitsyn, a prominent minister who remained in Moscow, walked up to him and said with a solemn expression, pointing to the minaret that was slowly collapsing under artillery fire, and said, "I am afraid that they want to tell us to either make concessions at the negotiating table as soon as possible, or wait for them to enter Moscow directly."

"It's so rampant and hateful!"

The imperial courtier Yazikov gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and cursed.

"Do we really have to agree to the conditions given by the Xia people? It's a great shame, and if we agree, we'll never get back up!" Miroslavsky said hatefully. 龗

Indeed, if they really signed a peace agreement according to the conditions given by Xia Jun, then Russia would really be broken in the backbone and would never be able to get up again, and it would be impossible for them to accept this condition.

However, the Xia army was too strong, they had no capital to resist, and if they tried to resist to the end, they would only fall to the point of ruining the city.

Thinking of this, the princes and ministers fell silent, they listened to the constant rumbling of cannons outside the city, watched the buildings inside the city collapse and destroy under the shelling, and the civilians fled in all directions, and their will to resist began to waver.

The following night, the city of Moscow was spent under intermittent artillery fire.

The next day, the Xia army's artillery fire finally stopped, and throughout the night, the Xia army intermittently fired thousands of shells into the city of Moscow, most of the buildings in the city were damaged, and several of the shells even hit St. Basil's Cathedral in the city, killing and wounding many clergy.

The overnight shelling also softened the attitude of Grand Duke Miroslavsky, who was in charge of the negotiations, and was no longer as tough as the night before, and after two days of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a consensus and formally signed a peace treaty outside Moscow.

1671 Sino-Russian Treaty of Moscow: 龗

1. Russia bears all the responsibilities in this war, and compensates the Xia army for the military expenses and grain and grass paid in this war, totaling 12 million taels of silver, which will be paid in ten years.

2. The Russian Tsar went to the title of emperor, declared himself a vassal to the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, and accepted the canonization of the emperor of the Xia Dynasty as the king of Russia.

3. Russia ceded the Lower Ike and Astrakhan regions to the Xia Dynasty, allowed the Xia Dynasty to set up permanent embassies and consulates in Moscow, Xia Dynasty citizens had diplomatic immunity in the embassies and consulates, and Russia set up a Far Eastern Affairs Yamen, which was specially responsible for diplomatic affairs with the Xia Dynasty.

4. Russia recognized the Don Cossacks and Zaporozhye as independent states, and after the independence of the two countries, they paid tribute to the Xia Dynasty.

5. Russia returned the Mongol Turghut tribe and the Mongols who had moved west to the Xia Dynasty for disposal.

6. Russia allowed the Xia army to be in the territory

Build supply points to provide any assistance to the Xia army in the future when they go west, and you can't shirk it.

7.…… 龗

After the treaty was laid down, Grand Duke Miroslavsky took a quill dipped in ink with a trembling wrist and signed his name on the treaty.

After the last stroke of his name fell, his whole body seemed to be drained, and his body shook and he almost fainted.

Fu Xinghua, who also signed the treaty, had a ruddy face, his heart was full of excitement, he called a soldier, and said, "Keep this treaty and send it back to Beijing, this is an unprecedented victory over the countries of the Western Regions since the founding of our dynasty."

"Yes!"

Looking at the back of the soldier leaving, Fu Xinghua was in a very good mood, although in this treaty he had to remove the condition of stationing troops next to Moscow, but he finally got what he wanted, this paper treaty can completely defeat Russia, even if they want to get up again, it will be difficult.

After signing this "alliance under the city", Xia Jun lifted the siege with a satisfied smile and headed east to receive the two regions of Lower Ike and Astrakhan.

After the departure of the Xia army, Grand Duke Miroslavsky fell completely ill, and the Russians, with great grief, welcomed the Tsar's body back to Moscow from Vladimir. 龗

Grand Duke Miroslavsky fell ill, and they had to hold a relatively modest funeral for the tsar under the auspices of Grand Duke Vasily Golitsyn, after which the princes and nobles began to quarrel over the choice of the next tsar.

Tsar Alexei I died prematurely, so he did not give birth to Peter the Great, who became famous in later life, and now he has three children alive, one is the eldest 15-year-old princess Sophia Alekseevna, the third son of the tsar, 11-year-old Ferdo Alekseevich, and finally the youngest son Ivan Alekseevich is 5 years old.

Before that, there had never been a female tsar in Russia, so the eldest Sophia was directly vetoed, and the nobles could only nominate the 11-year-old Ferdo to the throne as the third tsar of the Romanov dynasty, Tsar Ferdo III.

However, the Treaty of Moscow stipulated that Russia could no longer be called Tsar from now on, and in order to avoid attracting the Xia army again, they could only temporarily call themselves the King of Russia, and at the same time sent an envoy to the Xia Dynasty to ask for the canonization of the Son of Heaven.

……

After the signing of the Treaty of Moscow, the turmoil soon swept in, and under the auspices of Fu Xinghua, the Don Cossacks and Zaporozhye Cossacks became independent from Russian rule and submitted to the Xia Dynasty.

As for the Mongol Turks, Fu Xinghua generously did not care about their behavior against the Celestial Empire, saying that as long as they were willing to sincerely submit to the imperial court, he would not blame them for their hostile behavior in the past. 龗

Ayuqi Khan also understood that Russia had fallen, and his tribe was obviously not the opponent of the Xia Dynasty, so he decisively expressed his submission to the Great Xia court, and was willing to lead his subordinate Mongol cavalry to join the Xia army, fight for the Son of Heaven, and make meritorious contributions.

When the news reached Jiangning Jingshi, it was already after the first month of the following year, and the Great Xia court in 1672 changed greatly, while the imperial court went west to conquer and expand the western borders, and on the other hand, it sent a large number of people to Nanyang and Jidao by administrative means, and devoted itself to the development of Nanyang.

After years of development, the population of the Han people in the vast South China Sea has exceeded one million, and in the remote island, as well as the northern island of Papua, which is called Yingzhou, there are also a large number of Han people who have come here to reclaim wasteland and take root, and it is roughly estimated that the immigrant population in these two places is at least more than 100,000.

However, they did not live in harmony with the local natives, who were still highly wary of these outsiders, especially the natives on Yingzhou Island, who often attacked immigrant villages, snatched chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock raised by Han people, or directly committed murder.

In order to guard against these barbaric natives, the expatriates could only ask the imperial court to send officers and soldiers to recruit the Turen tribes in Yingzhou, and on the other hand, under the guidance of the expatriates from the Fujian and Guangdong regions, they imitated the Hakka people to build tulou with defensive functions, and at the same time organized people to pick up the bird guns eliminated by the officials and soldiers for patrol and defense.

It is worth mentioning that Great Xia did not

There is the collection of gunpowder weapons left by the people from the official level, first, there is a systematic blessing, Su Yan does not think that weapons need to be collected, and second, Su Yan hopes to retain the blood of the people, he doesn't want to see the sad appearance of men in later generations who don't like to be armed and love red makeup, and eat a peach and be cool.

At this time, the vast territory of Great Xia was incomparable to all dynasties, even the former Tang Dynasty. 龗

The territory of Bactria stretches from Sakhalin Island in the east, to the west coast of the Caspian Sea, from the Arctic Ocean in the north, to the Australian mainland in the south.

However, Su Yan was not satisfied with this, his ambition was far greater than this, the Persian Protectorate was only a small beginning of the westward expedition to Europe, he wanted to see the invincible Xia army and the green pothos Osman who swept Europe at this time compete, to see which side was slightly better.

The good news sent back by Fu Xinghua made Su Yan see such a dawn, Russia was defeated miserably and was forced to sign an alliance under the city, after reading the content of the treaty sent back by the messenger, Su Yan couldn't help laughing, his laughter was from the heart, and almost tears came out of his laughter.

The attendants serving on the side looked at him with some surprise, for so many years, the emperor had never been so happy as he was today, and he had never smiled so happily, even when the crown prince married the daughter of Zhang Cifu's family last year, he did not show such happiness.

Su Yan ignored the surprised glances cast by his attendants, his mood would not be understood by others, especially those who had not seen the suffering suffered by modern China on another timeline, they would not understand.

Su Yan has been waiting for this day for a long time, he has always wanted to wash away the shame he had suffered at the hands of Tsarist Russia in history, even the Sino-Russian "Jiangning Treaty" that had forced Russia to cede Siberia was not enough for him to wash away the hatred that remained in his heart.

And today, this "Moscow Treaty" has finally come, Russia has been completely defeated, and even their king's canonization needs to be approved by themselves, as long as Su Yan plays a little trick, Russia will be in a mess by itself, where is the energy to resist the Xia Dynasty? 龗

Russia, which is closest to the Xia Dynasty, is just an appetizer, Su Yan remembers very clearly, the countries that once forced his motherland to sign unequal treaties, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Austria should not want to escape, Japan and Russia have been cleaned up by him, and the debts of the United States, which have not yet been born, should be borne by its own father Britain and adoptive father France.

Didn't Louis XV even sell his country to make the United States independent? Since he loves the United States so much, let his motherland take care of it.

As soon as he thought of that picture, Su Yan couldn't help but smile, and he quickly came back to his senses, thinking that Fu Xinghua and Daniel Zhang had made such a great battle achievement, and they would be sorry for Su Yan's conscience if they didn't give them a heavy reward.

He thought about it slightly, ordered several cabinet ministers to be summoned, and decided to discuss how to reward these two great heroes.

……

When the news of the imperial court reached Astrakhan, it was already late spring, and seeing the angels and servants coming, Fu Xinghua and Daniel Zhang hurriedly led a group of generals out of the city to greet them, and respectfully introduced the envoys into the city.

After the envoy entered the city, he didn't care about resting, and immediately ordered the two to bathe and change clothes, set up an altar to receive the decree, and after a tedious ceremony, the messenger finally unfolded the bright yellow holy decree and read it aloud: Lu

"Bong

Day carrier

The emperor said: The emperor ruled the world only with literature, and the world with martial arts, and the civil and military generals were really the pillars of the imperial court and the pillars of the country, but those who could have both civil and military skills and contribute to the service could not be satisfied with their achievements, and Fu Xinghua of Anxi and Daniel Zhang of Dingxi waited for an expedition against Russia, won a decisive victory for thousands of miles, and raised the national prestige of the Heavenly Dynasty. In order to seek governance in the void, he really relies on the ministers of the humerus, and worships Chen Mo, and he will rely on the essence of learning. Fu Xinghua is hereby named Marquis of Anxi of Jin, Jiatai Shi, Daniel Zhang is hereditary Duke of Suguo, Jiataibao, Jin Xizhi's edict is in the play, Wei Zhenyidi, Temporary Xi Houben, and Pi Ji. Chin this.

Edict

On the third day of the second month of the 19th year of Wu'an."

After the angel read the holy decree, everyone shouted long live, and Daniel Zhang showed a joyful smile on his face, he worked hard for so long, but not to be able to fight a duke of the country, although the gold content of the Duke of Su Guo is not comparable to those Qin in the Han land

Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han Qi and other national princes, but he was also very satisfied.

Just as everyone was getting ready, the angel took out the second holy decree, the first decree was for the two commanders to be promoted, and the second decree was to add officials to them. 龗

The imperial court issued an order to merge the two regions of Xiayike and Astrakhan into the Xihai Metropolitan Protectorate, with Daniel Zhang as the Grand Protector and the rank of General of Zhengxi, Fu Xinghua conferred the title of General of Zhengxi, and the rank of Left Attendant of the Military Department.

As soon as this decree came out, Fu Xinghua would become the highest power of the Xia army in the western frontier, as well as Shang Fang's sword and the right to act cheaply, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised and jealous of the emperor's grace to him, which gave him the power to open the mansion.
