Chapter 682 Treaty, Treaty

why?
If only the Black Banner Army set up two border town generals, and each stationed a thousand permanent troops in each of the two border towns, it would at most be barely comparable to the complex local environment of Lake Baikal and the sparsely populated area. The Cossacks resisted.

But, the road from inside the pass to the trading city of Outer Mongolia has been repaired well in the past few years, after all, there are many slaves.

If the road is good, the business road will be smooth and go directly to the trading city.

Several core cities on the grassland also benefited from this.

It is also a steady stream of supplies and commodities to the border cities.

There is official support and official support.

The rear prairie can also provide support and manpower to border cities.

Just these points alone, but the freed Cossacks couldn't fight the black flag side army at all.

The frontier army also carried out the glorious tradition of the black flag, and followed the ancestral system to pull up a plundering team to plunder the Cossack-controlled area in the north around the border fortress south of Lake Baikal.

And in the name of the black flag Qing Dynasty, many Buryat Mongols were attached to the surrounding area of ​​the city.

At the beginning, there was some restraint, until the Cossacks said that there was a castle named Irkutsk on the north side of Lake Baikal, and further north along the Angara River, there was another castle named Bratsk.

Invading rashly, it is hard to say what the Cossacks will do if they support them along the river, so the frontier army should not go to the north of Lake Baikal.

But all this changed when the Black Banner Cossacks arrived at the northern border.

You have to know your own people.

It is hard to be sure of the information obtained from the captives, but if it comes from the mouth of the black flag, then you have to believe it to some extent.

And in the mouth of the Black Flag Cossack.

This Irkutsk and Bratsk are not like conventional border cities at all.

They were two improvised wooden fortresses hanging out alone.

There are thousands of miles between the two castles by water, and the land route is even more difficult.

Run down to support?
I really want to fight a big wave and wait for the people above to come down and the day lily will be cold.

Therefore, with the assistance of the Black Banner Cossacks, the Black Banner Frontier Army carried out the routine external operations of the frontier army during the prosperous period of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Constantly raiding the Cossack-controlled area in the north and harassing Irkutsk, the Cossacks in the northern part of Lake Baikal hardly dared to leave the castle.

Tsarist Russia didn't care about that at all.

At this time, they are busy fighting with Sweden and Poland, and the remnants of the Crimean Khanate have been harassing the border.

There was also a serious domestic salt merchant riot caused by tax issues, and then two cities announced uprisings, and the Don Cossacks became more and more dishonest.

The most important thing is that the Zabarozhye Cossacks have set off a massive uprising in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and they are fighting in Eastern Ukraine, a Polish vassal territory.

But after encountering the Polish army, the leader of the rebel army felt that he could not compete with it, so he decisively asked Tsarist Russia for help.

Ask them to submit to Tsarist Russia with the territory of Eastern Ukraine.

Now the contemporary Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich is struggling with many political affairs and key wars, and the envoys sent now are only thinking about not being able to confront China at this time in lands outside the actual control zone. conflict.

Let's discuss and discuss.

Clearly divide the territory around Lake Baikal, and carve up the remnants of Buryatia and Mongolia.

"If those Khitans don't agree, let the governor of Yakutsk take full responsibility for the border conflict, and be sure to lead the troops to recover the Uginsk castle. You must also let those Khitans return the castle during this trip!"

Tsarist Russia is transforming into an absolute monarchy, but for now the Council of Lords and Gentlemen can still exercise its powers.

The aristocrats at the meeting had a certain understanding of the Black Flag Qing Dynasty.

But the opening is still quite rampant.

These envoys who came out of Siberia were similar to what the old men thought at first.

But when he arrived at Lake Baikal and showed the identity of the envoy, he was accepted and entertained by the black flag border guards at the local border, and the envoy's mood changed a little.

The soldiers at the bottom have cotton robes, half breastplates and helmets for body protection.

Although most of the guns used are matchlock guns, there is a kind of flintlock gun mixed in, which is very special and exquisite. I want to see its practicality, but the shooting range cannot be approached.

Huge and light artillery, a donkey can pull a trot, the Cossack of Irkutsk talked about this cannon, his calf trembled, and it was said that the explosion produced during the bombardment was extremely terrifying.

There are other small cannons, which look like they came out of the same mold.

Actually use the mold to pour the cannon directly with steel?It won't explode after making it?

The armor of the elite soldiers of the upper class seemed to be very suitable for fighting in cold areas, and the Cossacks said that sometimes their muskets could not penetrate the armor of these Khitans.

In this regard, the first reaction of the envoys was that this was definitely the most elite soldier in China.

This is the signal for an all-out war and aggression to the north! ?
With this apprehension in mind, the envoys went all the way south to Ulaanbaatar, where they saw the prototype of a big city built on the grassland by the officials and manpower stationed by the black flag.

What attracts them most is the many goods sold in the city's market.

The bicycle was sold to Ulaanbaatar.

The boss who started this business was being ridiculed by the whole city at that time. After all, the grassland was full of horses, so why bother pedaling such a strenuous thing.

But another business selling animal harvesters run by the boss is not bad.

These things fall into the eyes of the Tsarist Russian envoys, which shows the strength of the Black Flag Qing Dynasty.

The further south you go, the more flustered you get.

The leader of the envoys was revising the prepared treaty plan along the way.

I didn't stay idle when I arrived in the capital, and continued to change.

Later, I went north to Liaodong and took a boat across the sea to the four islands.

The wind, frost, snow, rain and bumps along the road for more than half a year made the messenger confused.

At the beginning, I was still recording the route on the map, but later I found that I seemed to have walked to a land that was not recorded in the direction of Russia to Khitan
And the more you walk, the more you can realize the power of the black flag Qing Dynasty.

"On behalf of the great Tsar of the Russian Tsar, the Emperor of All Russia, and the successor of the Roman Empire, I would like to extend my greetings to you, Your Highness the Regent of the Great Black Banner Khitan and Great Qing."

So when this group of messengers knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian, they showed a particularly humble attitude.

This humility has been cultivated along the way.

There are also those who are amazed by Zhu Youjian's physique, and subconsciously revealed it because of being shocked.

"I am also the master of the black flags. The father and regent of the Qing Dynasty sent greetings to the tsar of your country. I am busy with affairs so I will not gossip. I have also read a lot of notes about your envoy, and I have also read the treaty brought by your envoy. There are many, and there are many places to be discussed."

Zhu Youjian had just finished speaking, and the envoy below hastily lifted up the scroll that was already in his hand.

It is the terms that they have improved after many revisions.

Zhu Youjian asked someone to take a look, and was taken aback for a moment.

This treaty is a bit silly.
