Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1298 On the Golden-Russian Border Treaty

In the history of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan won the victory and wanted to extort money from the Qing Dynasty. Some people in the country proposed to extort 30 billion yen in military compensation from Russia, but Russia just wanted the money and continued to fight if it had the ability. Although Japan won the Russo-Japanese War, it did not benefit much in the end. Instead, it owed more than 8 million yen in loans.

Sun Kewang didn't know why the Raksha people suddenly changed their sex, but someone gave him the answer soon.

In fact, the coalition forces confronted the Russian army on the Volga River and sought peace talks for more than a month. The situation in Eastern Europe has been changing.

After Poland dared Sweden to go out, it signed a peace treaty with Sweden, and immediately turned its attention back to Ukraine.

Previously, because of Sweden’s surprise attack, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had to accept Russia’s conditions and recognized Ukraine’s autonomous status in exchange for Russia’s withdrawal from the war against Poland. But now that Poland has repelled Sweden, it is dissatisfied with the previous treaty and wants to To regain control of Ukraine.

Coincidentally at this time, the news of the defeat of the Russian army's Eastern Expedition came, and Poland remembered the ally the Golden Horde, which he had sold, so Chen Bing bordered and wanted to retake Ukraine.

At the same time, Sweden, the overlord of Scandinavia, seemed interested in dealing with the restless Russia and reducing Russia's threat to the east coast of the Baltic Sea. The army entered Russia, and several conflicts broke out, all of which ended in Russia's defeat.

At the end of July, [-] Polish troops marched into Ukraine again, and the pressure on the Russian army on the western front increased greatly. Both Poland and Sweden were powerful countries. Both countries had fought Moscow. The Russian army had to be taken seriously. Changed his tough attitude and sent envoys to let Morozov preside over the peace talks.

On the east bank of the Volga River, camps spread here, with flocks of cattle and sheep. More than 8 coalition troops were stationed here, confronting the [-] Russian troops on the west bank.

At this time, more than 30 miles south of the Jin army's camp, a team of more than ten cavalry guarded an officer, bypassed the Russian army's security guards, and entered the area controlled by the Kingdom of Jin.

Not long after, they encountered a Mongolian sentry cavalry. The Mongolian centurion headed by them stopped them, and shouted loudly in Mongolian from afar: "Who are you? What are you here for?"

These cavalry are all Westerners, but their equipment is different from that of the Russian army. They are more gorgeous, and there are two wings like wings inserted on the back of the cavalry.

The people who came were not in a hurry, and the leading officer turned around and said a few words in Polish, and a Tatar in the team rode forward and replied loudly: "We are the envoys of Greater Poland, and we are here to meet your Khan. "

Hearing that it was an envoy from Poland, the Mongolian centurion frowned and was not happy, but seeing that he was not a Rakshasa, he still said, "Follow me, don't run around, lest you cause misunderstanding and be killed."

After listening to the Tatar translation, the officer put his hands on his chest and saluted, and smiled slightly, "Thank you."

At present, the Mongolian sentry cavalry led the Poles and galloped towards the camp in the north. Along the way, the Polish envoys saw Mongolian and Yuzi sentry cavalry from time to time. When they arrived near the camp, they even saw a tens of thousands of elite soldiers They were greatly surprised by the cavalry galloping on the grassland, uniform uniforms and fluttering battle flags.

Among them, about 7000 cavalry, still wearing plate armor on their chests, galloped to a shooting range, raised their flintlock guns, and shot at targets two hundred paces away. After shooting, they galloped away. After reloading, Then he ran back again.

The modernization of the European army has just begun. Many countries have established standing armies, and their uniforms have gradually become standardized. However, in relatively backward Eastern Europe, there are still a large part of the army that is still commanded by various lords. Not formal.

The Poles did not expect to see tens of thousands of troops wearing the same military uniform here, and there were tens of thousands of them by visual inspection.

With so many standing armies, the Poles couldn't help being shocked, and at the same time wondering how the Mongols had such an army and were equipped with so many muskets.

The Poles were led into Seng Ge's camp amidst doubts and constant looking around.

At this time, in Sun Kewang's big tent, a screen separated the commander's tent. A long table was placed in the front part, with four chairs on each side. Several Russians sat on the west side of the table, and two people sat on the east side of the table. Officials from the Kingdom of Jin, as well as Mongols and Yuzi people.

The peace treaty between Jin and Russia was being discussed on both sides of the table, and Sun Kewang and Wu Sangui were sitting behind the screen, drinking tea while listening to the negotiations between the two countries outside.

At this time, two Mongolian interpreters, one proficient in Russian and one proficient in Chinese, stood on both sides of the table, translating the words of the Russians outside.

A bearded Russian sitting in the middle in the west spoke first, and then a Mongolian who is proficient in Russian translated Russian into Mongolian, and then a Mongolian who was proficient in Chinese translated Mongolian into Chinese , to the officials of the Kingdom of Jin.

During this period of translation several times, I don’t know if it was the meaning that the Russians wanted to express in the end.

Behind the screen, Sun Kewang picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth. After a burst of chatter outside, a few words of Chinese finally came in.

"General Pashkov said that this war is the internal affairs of the Raksha country and has nothing to do with the Jin country. The Kingdom of Jin should return to the Syr Darya River Basin, and the two sides returned to the control area in the ninth year of Yongzhang, at the beginning of 1656 AD, bounded by the Aral Sea and the Turgai Plateau. territory."

Sun Kewang frowned when he heard this, and put the teacup to his lips back on the table. At this time, the voice from outside continued: "In addition, the war reparations cannot be accepted by Rakshasa, and Jin Guo should release our soldiers." To show the sincerity of peace, but Rakshasa is willing to give Jin Guo a certain amount of money as food for the prisoners."

After the translation was completed, an official from the Kingdom of Jin finally said with a cold face: "Your envoy's words are neither sincere nor polite. According to my understanding, your country was originally only a principality, and the Golden Horde It has already happened. It is clearly a dispute between the two countries. How can it be the internal affairs of your Raksha country? The accusations made by the noble envoys against my Dajin are also unreasonable. Yuzi is my ally of Dajin, and Mongolia also gave me the kingdom of Dajin. Paying tribute, your country has violated my Dajin's interests, so it is reasonable for my Dajin to send troops!"

With the foot of the tent, Chen Yanjing, the scribe of the Kingdom of Jin who was in charge of recording, wrote down the words of both sides.

The official who spoke was the envoy of Anxi Palace, Fang Yuxuan, and Sun Kewang's confidant. He had received Sun Kewang's instruction in advance to be tough on the Rakshasa people, and tried their cards to find out why they suddenly agreed to peace talks.

At this time, Fang Yuxuan continued without retreating: "In addition, neither Dajin, Yuzi, nor Mongolia can accept the conditions mentioned by the Rakshasa envoy. The two sides should use the current controlled area as the boundary, and Russia must give me money." State reparations."

After the interpreter finished speaking, the bearded Russian suddenly became irritable and said a few words in Russian, but the interpreter did not translate, and his face was embarrassed, which was obviously not a good word.

Fang Yuxuan, who was sitting across from him, turned cold when he saw that he was still so arrogant towards the defeated Raksha people, and he was already displeased. He immediately looked at the interpreter and said angrily, "Tell him, if you want to talk, talk about it. Get out if you don’t talk, I treat each other with reason, if he dares to be rude, let him get out and talk to someone who understands etiquette.”

The interpreter was embarrassed for a while, but seeing Fang Yuxuan's expression, he still translated it to the Russians. The leader with a big beard and a white face flushed suddenly, but he did not leave his seat.

Seeing this, Fang Yuxuan sneered at the corner of his mouth. He already knew that the Raksha people wanted peace, but it was actually very urgent.

Hearing what was said outside, Sun Kewang put the cup to his mouth again, but at this moment Seng Ge suddenly entered the tent, then went straight to the back of the screen, saluted Wu Sangui and Sun Kewang, and then went forward to whisper in Sun Kewang's ear. A few words.

After hearing this, Sun Kewang's eyes lit up, he looked up at Seng Ge, who nodded, Sun Kewang pondered slightly, then waved for a guard, and whispered a few words, the guard walked out from behind the screen, bent over and greeted Yu Xuan There was a whisper.

Fang Yuxuan was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized it, he stood up suddenly, looked at the four Raksha people opposite him, and said with a sneer: "My Dajin's conditions have already been explained, and I still have a Polish envoy to see you, please think carefully about it." We will talk about my Daikin's conditions at another time."

After he finished speaking, he stood up without giving the Russians time to react, and then left directly. Seeing them standing up, several Russians were slightly taken aback. The Chinese officials had already left the meeting, and the four Russians could only look at each other in blank dismay, panicking...
