Chapter 942 "Sino-Russian Ili Treaty" ([-])
"My lord."

Today's negotiation ended early, it was not yet noon, and it was far from the time for lunch. After Wang Yan left, Hong Qing, who was bored, reclined on the rocking chair, closed her eyes and fell asleep. From the leisure time, he heard the sound of footsteps, Ding Song walked in from outside the tent with a smile on his face, but seeing him walking quickly to Hong Qing's side, he bowed and gave a soft call.

"Well, did your kid get another vote?"

Hearing the sound, Hong Qing's eyes opened, but she didn't get up, she still swayed leisurely, looked at Ding Song with a half-smile, and joked.

"Hey, thanks to the lord, there are ten big goldfishes again. This time, the last general's concubines are really found."

Ding Song grinned, stretched out a slap with a smile, shook his head proudly, and replied cheerfully.

"Oh, the harvest is not bad. It seems that the old boy Petrovich can't bear it anymore. Tell me, what does that guy have in mind?"

The reason why Hong Qing asked Ding Song to take advantage of the Russians was not to be greedy for such a small gain, but to let Ding Song play Infernal Affairs. Now, the effect seems to be good, and Hong Qing is in a natural mood. It is very easy.

"Going back to the prince, the old guy said he wanted to visit you privately, but in the end he just pushed it out and asked the prince first, and with just this one sentence, well, five big goldfishes have changed to ten, and this business can be done. "

Seeing that Hong Qing was in a good mood, Ding Song was naturally happy to join in the fun. He shook his hands and took out a handful of gold bars from his sleeve, tossing them and playing with them a few times, showing off happily.

"Well... there is no rush on this matter. Let me go and order the battalions to pack up and prepare for departure immediately. If the old man comes to inquire again, I will not rush to agree, and I will let that old boy Petrovich wait until the evening Just come to my king's big tent."

Joking is all joking, but Hong Qing never forgot the business, after pondering for a moment, she gave two orders in succession.

"twitter!"

Hearing Hong Qing's order, Ding Song didn't dare to neglect him, and hurriedly restrained his joking thoughts, respectfully agreed, turned around, and strode out of the Chinese army's tent. Hearing the sound of horns in the camp one after another, the soldiers of the battalions who were resting immediately became busy...

At the end of the unitary hour, the sky will be dark, the sun has already set, the afterglow has dyed the clouds in the sky red like blood, the meal is approaching, the camp is full of smoke, the smell of burning hay is wafting in the wind, even in the middle of the army The big tent would inevitably be fumigated by the smell of smoke, but Hong Qing didn't care too much. He sat on a horse tie and looked at the large sand table on the ground with a slight frown, although he didn't say much. , but the evil spirit on his body gradually became stronger.

"My lord, Prince Petrovich is out of the tent."

Just when Hong Qing was frowning and contemplating, there was a sound of footsteps, but Ding Song walked in from outside the tent, rushed to Hong Qing's side in a few strides, bowed, and hastened to report: .

"Well, go, send an interpreter here, and this king will meet the old boy right away."

Even though she heard the report, Hong Qing didn't raise her head, she just ordered in a flat voice.

"twitter!"

Hearing Hong Qing's order, Ding Song didn't dare to delay a bit, and hurriedly responded respectfully, and hurriedly left the big tent without hesitation, leading Grand Duke Petrovich and two interpreters, one Chinese and one Russian. Came in from the outside.

"His Royal Highness, it's already time, and you are still busy. Such professionalism really makes me admire you the most."

When Grand Duke Petrovich and others were about to enter, Hong Qing did not stand up to greet Grand Duke Petrovich, but just glanced at Grand Duke Petrovich expressionlessly, then lowered his head to look at the large sand table. There is a depressed feeling of being underestimated, but he dares not show it in front of Hong Qing, so he can only smile humbly, so that he can flatter Hong Qing.

"Watch the seat!"

After listening to the interpreter's report, Hong Qing still sat upright with a blank expression on her face. She just waved her hand and said a word in a calm voice, and several guards who were waiting on her side agreed loudly and brought them over. After a few Mazzas, Grand Duke Petrovich and the two interpreters were invited to sit down.

"His Royal Highness, you are..."

As soon as Bu took his seat, Grand Duke Petrovich's eyes immediately fell on the large sand table. Although he didn't understand military affairs, he still knew the sand table, which was common in the Russian army. Then he thought of the Qing army. Grand Duke Petrovich was a little uneasy about the reorganization of the camp that started in the afternoon, but after seeing his eyeballs roll around, he pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, I will lead the army to go out tomorrow, and I have too many affairs, so I don't have time to chat with you. If there is anything, just talk about it."

Hong Qing ignored Grand Duke Petrovich's temptation, waved his hands impatiently, and asked Grand Duke Petrovich's purpose of coming with a slightly cold voice.

"Going out? Your Royal Highness, what do you mean?"

Grand Duke Petrovich was already full of suspicions in his heart, and when he heard Hong Qing's words, his face collapsed involuntarily. Just after the interpreter finished relaying, he asked a question with a pale face.

"Your Majesty, are you asking this knowingly? This king said that your country is not willing to compensate us for our losses, so I will go to your country to get it in person. Hey, Your Excellency, you don't think that this king is just talking about it, huh?"

After listening to the interpreter's report, Hong Qing's face immediately sank, and she unceremoniously reprimanded Grand Duke Petrovich.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Your Royal Highness, I don't mean that. Ah, Your Royal Highness, peace is the most important thing in everything. It is not a good thing to use weapons. Can we sit down and discuss the issue of compensation?"

Hearing that Hong Qing didn't sound like he was joking, Grand Duke Petrovich was really in a hurry, nothing else, the Russian Empire has just experienced a big defeat, people's hearts are not stable, and the bloody coup in St. Petersburg is also However, only two months have passed, and the whole country is not ready for war. If Hong Qing's army is killed, the loss of the Russian Empire will be huge. Even if the country is not destroyed, the vitality will be seriously injured Inevitably, Grand Duke Petrovich could not help being flustered in the face of such a threat.

"Talk? Yes, I should pay the compensation of the Qing Dynasty. This item is a prerequisite. If Your Excellency the Grand Duke does not agree, there is no need for you and me to talk about it."

Hong Qing did not refuse Grand Duke Petrovich's request for negotiation, but he restricted the prerequisites to death as soon as he came up, and assumed the posture of confirming the Russian Empire.

"His Royal Highness, it's not that I don't want to admit it. It's really difficult for the Great Russian Empire to raise such a huge sum of money in a short period of time. I hope that His Royal Highness can be more considerate."

As soon as the indemnity was mentioned, Grand Duke Petrovich's face was as bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis. He threw up his hands helplessly and replied in a very dejected manner.

"It's hard to get it together? Oh, that's true. As far as your country's financial background is concerned, it is indeed very poor. Anyway, this king will show your Excellency the way. The compensation is not less than a penny, but what, Your country can use other things to pay off its debts, can't it?"

Hong Qing unceremoniously ridiculed Grand Duke Petrovich a few words, but instead of being tough to the end, he changed the subject and made a point full of hints.

"Other things? I'm stupid, I don't know what His Royal Highness is referring to..."

Hearing what Hong Qing said, Grand Duke Petrovich immediately had a bad feeling in his heart, but at the moment he was under the eaves, but he didn't dare not follow Hong Qing's pace, so he just It may be that he spoke out cautiously and tentatively.

"Land! In the 27th year of Kangxi, your country was deceived and abducted. It took away 32 square kilometers of land from Lake Baikal to the Erguna River from my Qing Dynasty. Now, it is time to return it to the original owner. Of course Well, your country doesn’t have to return it, at worst, I will send troops tomorrow to take down the whole of Siberia, and it’s just a matter of raising my hands, so what to do, Your Excellency the Grand Duke can do as you see, it doesn’t matter to me.”

Hong Qing shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, and gave the answer without any scruples.

"This won't work, the territory is the life of the empire, and it must not be sold!"

After listening to the interpreter's report, Grand Duke Petrovich shouted almost subconsciously.

"Heh, follow you, see off the guests!"

Grand Duke Petrovich yelled angrily, but Hong Qing didn't take it seriously at all. After listening to the interpreter's report, he just smiled indifferently, waved his hand, and gave the order to evict the guest in an unquestionable tone. .

"twitter!"

When Hong Qing gave this order, Ding Song and other guards who were waiting by the side did not dare to neglect, they agreed in unison, and rushed forward one after another, intending to drive Grand Duke Petrovich out of the central army tent.

"Wait a minute, Your Royal Highness, I have something to say."

Seeing Ding Song and others rushing forward, Grand Duke Petrovich couldn't help feeling a little anxious, he hurriedly waved his hands indiscriminately, and begged for his approval anxiously.

"Ah."

Hearing Grand Duke Petrovich's words, Hong Qing didn't insist on chasing people away. First, she waved her hand and said softly, stopping Ding Song and others from chasing people away. He said word by word: "Your Majesty, this is your last chance. If you continue to talk nonsense, then don't blame me for not being sympathetic. I hope Your Excellency will do it for you!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your love, and let me think about what can be done?"

Hearing Hong Qing's unkind words, the sweat on Grand Duke Petrovich's forehead immediately gushed like a spring, but he didn't care to wipe it off, and pleaded with a bitter face.

"Please."

Hong Qing was not in a hurry to force Grand Duke Petrovich to express his position, but nodded expressionlessly, and uttered two words coldly.
