Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 380 Polar Bear's Claw
Comfortable days always pass quickly, day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it will be March of the second year of Yuanzhuo. During this period of time, I have been busy, but Yinzuo is in a good mood——Qian Fazhezi's business has been going smoothly so far. Samples of banknotes and coins have come out, and the equipment for mass production has been adjusted in place. Although the output can't keep up with the demand for a while, Yinzuo didn't plan to issue banknotes immediately. The Ministry of Industry has stepped up the preparation of goods; the investigation of private banks in various places has been smooth, although this work has not been completed, but it will not be too long before the end; Compared with the modern army I have seen, but in this era, it is already a powerful army, and the effect of brainwashing is also very good, at least Yinzuo himself is very satisfied.

Yinzuo was also very satisfied with the performance of a group of brothers: the old fourteenth was sent by Yinzuo to Tianjin to set up a new navigation school, became the principal, and his performance was quite satisfactory, with no outrageous remarks and behaviors; According to Qian Fa's book, he worked happily with "hard work and no complaints"; the eighth child was flanked by the thirteenth and the fourth child, and was hit by Yin Zuo from time to time, making him embarrassingly humiliated; Terrified, he spent all his time in the Imperial Academy busy compiling the "Kangxi Dictionary" except for going to court.

There are military planes taking care of major and minor affairs of the court, and Yinzuo can occasionally sneak back to leisure, sleep late or go out for a stroll in a low-clothes, such a life is really refreshing, but it is in line with the old saying—— —Unfortunately, just when Yinzuo was living comfortably, another warning message came from the northwest. Qing calls for help—the polar bear’s claws are stretched out! When it comes to Russia, the polar bear has to talk about a person and a treaty:
Peter the Great, a great emperor who was contemporary with Mr. Kangxi, should be much better than Mr. Kangxi in terms of merit.It is precisely because of the existence of Peter the Great that a powerful Russia emerged. It was Peter the Great who led Russia on the road of Westernization, and it was the appearance of Peter the Great that Russia embarked on the road of expansion. In 1707 (the 46th year of Kangxi), Russia completely defeated the then military power Sweden in Poltava, annexed an important territory including Estonia, Latvia and Finland, and began to build St. Petersburg, which later became the capital of Tsarist Russia, on the banks of the Neva River At this point, Russia began to transform and embarked on the road of Westernization.

The "Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchinsk", this treaty signed by Soetu on behalf of Mr. Kangxi and Russia was the first peace treaty signed by the Qing Dynasty with a foreign country. The contract clearly defined the national border between the two parties for the first time. According to the perspective of later generations On the other hand, this treaty is an unequal treaty signed under equal conditions. For this reason, China lost the territory from the Ergun River to Lake Baikal, but it clarified the territory of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River basins, including Sakhalin Island. The vast area is China's territory, which prevents Russia's aggression and expansion to the east.In terms of the situation of the Qing Dynasty at that time, it was actually a last resort-the "San Francisco Rebellion" had just settled, and Galdan was about to move. The Qing Dynasty had to guard against Gerdan and calm down the domestic resistance forces, so it was inevitable. Losing the other, so the Qing Dynasty could only do so at that time.But there is another secret agreement in the treaty, that is, the two sides jointly curb Galdan's expansion ambitions.

When the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchinsk" was signed, Peter the Great was still a child, and his sister Sophia was in power and internally unstable, so he was unable to invade the east on a large scale, so he had to accept the Qing government's suggestion. Since then, Peter the Great has been busy with Turkey and Sweden fought, and they never set their sights on the East. The two countries have coexisted peacefully for more than 20 years. After Peter the Great defeated Sweden, he suddenly became interested in the East again. At this time, Galdan had already died. On the basis of inheriting Geerdan's territory, Cewang Arabtan annihilated the Kazakh state and expanded his sphere of influence to the Far East of Russia.In the 54th year and 57th year of Kangxi in the original time and space, Peter the Great sent two small-scale troops to fight against Ge'er, but they all failed. However, the appearance of Yinzuo may have changed the original direction of history. This time, What Peter the Great sent was not a small team of a few hundred people, but a huge team of [-] infantry and [-] Cossack cavalry. They defeated the main force of Cewang Arabtan in the Battle of Brento Sea, and the army marched eastward in one fell swoop. , Cewang Arabutan was unable to resist, so he sent envoys to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty and asked the Qing Dynasty to send troops to rescue him.

When the news of the defeat of the Zhungeer Department came, the whole capital was full of cheers and applause, as if the old Maozi had helped the Qing Dynasty by defeating the Zhungeer Department, and only a few sober people I understand that the polar bear in Russia is a more ferocious beast than the Zhungeer Ministry, but the voices of these sober people calling for troops to help the Zhuanger Ministry are pitifully weak at all, completely drowned in the voices applauding Russia.

Damn it, what's the matter, the old man doesn't come early or late, so we come to mix sand when we are happy, what a fucking bad luck!Yinzuo is disgusting like eating a fly, without him, now that Yinzuo's ass has just secured the throne, and seeing that various affairs are about to unfold, Peter the Great suddenly makes a fuss, which really makes Yinzuo Zuo hated his teeth itching, if after a while, when all the Battalions of the Eight Banners were replaced with breech-loading guns, Xu Zuo planned to attack Zhungeer's troops, but now it's a good thing, the original enemy came to ask for help Now, and Yinzuo's firearms battalion hasn't had time to perform yet, and changing clothes is even more invisible. If Yinzuo takes those "native" troops carrying swords and spears to fight against the firearms troops, Yinzuo is not so It's silly, but people have already called to the door of the house, can it be done if they don't call?
Yinzuo wants to fight, but the question is how to fight, who will fight, and how to persuade the courtiers, the teacher must be famous, right?If these series of problems are not solved well, this battle will be very difficult to fight.For several days, Yinzuo was thinking about this issue. For this reason, he went through the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchinsk", and finally made Yinzuo think of a very "earthy" method-diplomatic note.

The Russian embassy, ​​as the name implies, is the Russian embassy. In the capital of the Qing Dynasty, only Russia had an embassy. Emperor Kangxi was very happy when his envoys bowed three times and kowtowed nine times. He specially allowed Russia to build a "Russian Pavilion" in Beijing. Every three years, 32 caravans could be sent to Beijing to stay for 200 days. Other countries were not allowed to enjoy this treatment.The current Russian envoy is a tall, strong, blond middle-aged man with a very famous Chinese name called Jin Xiai.

Jin Xie is really likable when he talks about it. He always has a smile on his chubby face. Jin Xie, who has been stationed in the capital for many years, is full of Beijing movies that are crisp and loud. When he laughs, the volume is as loud as a big bear singing. , I have always been meticulous when kneeling and prostrating. If I said three times and nine kowtows, then I would never discount it. No, I just saw Yin Zuo's face, and immediately lay down on the ground, respectful like a pug. , I still haven't forgotten the words of greetings: "Foreign Minister Jin likes to meet the great Qing Emperor His Majesty, and my little one greets you."

"Well, get up, Jin Xi, this is not the first time I've seen you, um, you've gained a lot of weight, and if you keep getting fatter, you'll be a ball." Back then when Yin Zuo was doing "Fu Yuan Ji" I had a confession with this Jin Xie when I was a child, but it was many years ago. At that time, Jin Xie was only a young man, very thin, and more than ten years later, Jin Xie had already put on weight. .

"His Majesty the Emperor still remembers the foreign ministers. This is the blessing of the foreign ministers. Hehe, the foreign ministers are all thanks to His Majesty's great blessing. Hey, the water in the capital is good and the food is good. It is difficult for the foreign ministers not to get fat." Jin likes to laugh and flatter Yinzuo, and his attitude is very good.

"That's good, well, Jin likes you and hasn't returned to China for a few years?" Yin Zuo asked seemingly casually.

Jin Xixi was stunned for a moment and said: "The foreign minister just went back last year and brought the greeting letter from the emperor of our country to His Majesty. The foreign minister handed it over to the Ministry of Rites. Could it be..."

"Oh, that's right." Yinzuo nodded noncommittally and said, "Jin likes it. As a Russian envoy, you should understand the rules. The former emperor sent someone to sign the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchinsk with your country." ", it clearly stipulates that our two countries are good-neighborly and friendly, and the two sides are not allowed to fight again, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, my Great Russia has always been friendly with your country, and exchanged information. What does His Majesty mean by..." Jin Xixi didn't quite understand the meaning of Yinzuo's sudden question, his fat round face was full of doubts .

What do we mean?Hey, we mean to fool you, what else can I do?Yin Zuo secretly smiled in his heart, but his face was very serious, and he said in a calm voice: "Jin likes, I ask you, what is the reason why your Emperor Peter suddenly dispatched a large army to invade my vassal of the Qing Dynasty? Let’s start a war? Huh?”

"This..." Jin Xixi was dumbfounded, and said in a daze: "Your Majesty forgives the crime, the ministers really don't know what His Majesty is talking about?"

"Oh, you don't know? It seems that I blamed you by mistake. Well, the emperor of your country has sent five thousand troops to attack Zhungeer, a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. I am very angry. I called you here today to give me a hand. There is a saying, if not... hum!" The threat on Yinzuo's face gradually became stronger.

Jin Xiai really didn't know about the Brentuohai war, but he knew that the Qing emperor didn't need a reason to kill someone. Seeing that Yin Zuo's face was getting darker and darker, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and couldn't even stand up. Kneeling down on the ground trembling, he yelled loudly: "The minister really doesn't know, His Majesty the Emperor, please forgive me..."

"Enough." Yinzuo coldly interrupted Jin Xixi's pleading, and said with a dark face: "I didn't call you here to hear your grievances. I just want you to go back to the country and lie down, and tell me what I mean. Your emperor said that I was very angry and asked him to withdraw immediately, otherwise I would send a large army to conquer."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the foreign ministers, the foreign ministers have a question..." Jin Xi likes to cry, peeking at Yinzuo's face and said: "Your Majesty, the Zhungeer Ministry is the common enemy of our two countries, even if the emperor of our country sends troops Invading and suppressing is not an invasion of your country, right?"

"Hey, what you are talking about is the old imperial calendar. Tseng Huang Allah Butan has surrendered to my Qing Dynasty, and he is regarded as a vassal state of my Qing Dynasty. What your country has done has violated our country's interests. As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I cannot Sit idly by, let's just ignore it, let's do this, because of the traditional friendship between your two countries, I will give you a chance, I will send you to the Brentuo Sea immediately, let your army stop first, and wait for you to report to your emperor In the end, your two countries can sit down and have a good talk, right?" Yin Zuo laughed suddenly, that smile was as cute as a big bad wolf coaxing a little white rabbit.

Although Jin Xixi is an ambassador, he is actually a businessman. He has never been proficient in national policy. At this time, he was facing the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and it was not his turn to say no, so naturally he nodded quickly and said yes in repeated voices.

"I have prepared the letter of credence for you here, and you can go on your way immediately. I will send someone to escort you there. I am tired, so please kneel down." Yin Zuo gave a very calm order, and Jin Xixi retired. When I went out, I sat silently on the rocking chair and meditated.

The thing about diplomatic notes is actually not very useful. There is no such thing as friendship between countries. Only big fists can speak loudly. If Jin likes this, it will probably be delayed for a while. As for how long it can be delayed, it depends I'm afraid it's hard to say, the battle that should be fought is still going to be fought, but Yinzuo doesn't care much about fighting. What he wants is an excuse to send troops and precious time to reorganize the army-the excuse for sending troops is very simple, as long as Russia does not stop attacking , you can give it a hat of contempt for the Qing Dynasty. With the first diplomatic note in the history of the Qing Dynasty produced by the Ministry of Rites, Yin Zuo will be famous, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to persuade those courtiers. As for how to reorganize the army, it depends on Yin Zuo's performance
