<foncolor=red> After sending away Andre, who was also worried, Yang Meng also briefly thought about the delaying strategies of Britain, France and Russia. If he wanted to gain the greatest benefit, he would just encircle Wei and rescue Zhao! But it is he who is in power now, Yang Meng, and he is not one of those wimps from the Manchu Qing Dynasty who just want to get out of here without leaving something behind. It is impossible! "Third Master, the envoy of Tsarist Russia, Putiyating, is here to see you." "Oh Old Maozi is here too. He is indeed wearing the same pants as Yingjili. Let him come in when he comes!" The negotiation is just about the two sides putting conditions on each other. Now the British and French conditions are to withdraw their troops, and Yang Meng's condition is to abrogate the treaty and pay compensation and kill the old man. Such conditions are not something that the ministers of various countries can agree to. In two months, they have already Very short. Wenxian's negotiation with Putiyating was also expected by Yang Meng. In the current negotiation situation, he, Yang Meng, had the absolute initiative. He had to rely on three points even if it was unreasonable, let alone if it was justified and well-founded? If Tsarist Russia is not skinned and boned, it will never happen this time! "Your Majesty, Tsarist Russia has a large number of mercenaries in the Qing Dynasty. Should we talk about it?" Putyating is the admiral of Tsarist Russia. He doesn't care about tens of thousands of mercenaries, but the Tsar does. ! And Mikhail cannot die in the Qing Dynasty. Negotiations are also very important to Putiyating. "Your Majesty the Duke? The Tsarist Russian Minister is quite well informed. Are there Tsarist Russian mercenaries among the British and French allied forces?" "Yes! Nearly half!" "You can't steal the chicken but lose the rice. This time, Tsarist Russia's plan has completely failed. Through various channels, Putyating also knew that the Russian mercenaries had suffered several casualties, which were tragic! This time, Tsarist Russia fell into the scheme of Britain and France. If it cannot withdraw those mercenaries in time and make a clear connection with this war, I am afraid that Tsarist Russia will continue to be used by Britain and France. Tsarist Russia is different from Britain and France. It has a long land border with the Qing Dynasty. Once a war breaks out, In terms of today's national strength, Tsarist Russia cannot afford to fight a large-scale war. Once a national war breaks out, Tsarist Russia is not incapable of responding, but the Tsar's throne will be at stake. "Oh this is the first time I have heard of it. It's close to half? That's troublesome. The conditions I offered to Britain and France are to abrogate the treaty and pay compensation. The number of Tsarist Russia's troops is close to half. The amount of compensation is eleven 100 million taels of silver! As for the treaty, it has been abolished since the Qianlong Dynasty. There have been many disputes over the border issue between our two countries. Let¡¯s resolve the issue in the northeast first! The area east of the Stanov Mountains belongs to the Qing Dynasty. I heard that your country has a colony called Alaska in the Americas. Let's give it to the Qing Dynasty and pay an indemnity of one billion taels of silver. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty will take care of the compensation and the land. Go and get it! " After deciding to attack Mongolia, we will attack Tsarist Russia, and ignore other regions. Before there was a strong navy, Yang Meng's goal was Tsarist Russia. How could there be anything good if Putiyating rushed in stupidly? Blackmailing Tsarist Russia. It was considered light. If Yang Meng took action, there would be rivers of blood and mountains of corpses, that was for sure. Yang Meng¡¯s purpose is just to seize territory. The Qing population is already large enough, so he can march to the north. Yang Meng's goal is only the land. As for the people on the land, it is best to die and still fertilize the fields. "Your Majesty the Duke, it seems that you have misunderstood. Our mercenaries did not participate in burning the royal gardens of your country. Our country can agree to the abolition of the treaty. As for the compensation" Unlike Yilu, Wenxian, and Andre , whether the treaty signed by the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia should be abolished is not a matter of a day or two. The border issue may be a matter of decades. The most critical thing for Tsarist Russia now is to escape from this war. , the combat power of the Qing army was stronger than that of Britain and France. Even if it suffered some losses, Tsarist Russia had to escape from this war. ¡° Otherwise, if it is used by Britain and France again, it is still a question whether Tsarist Russia can still exist! As for the Qing Duke's blackmail, I'm afraid he won't have such thoughts in a few months. What's the problem if he agrees to his conditions now? ??The sea route from the capital to the Qing Dynasty is long. If you go slower, three or five months will not be long. After three or five months, I wonder if the Duke of the Qing Dynasty can still be so rampant? "Okay! In that case, let's sign the contract! This is the boundary map provided by our country. Can you take a look?" The map Yang Meng took out was also prepared long ago. It is certain that Russia will participate in the negotiations. Killing the remaining tens of thousands of Tsarist Russian mercenaries will not benefit Britain and France, nor will it benefit Tsarist Russia at all. Once Britain and France really kill the mercenaries of Tsarist Russia, there will be no place for Tsarist Russia in the European sequence. Asia, in the eyes of Europeans, is an uncivilized world. Tsarist Russia definitely does not want to be included in Asia.Continental. "The signing of the contract has to wait for the arrival of the envoys from our country. How about we release him first?" "Hey Putiyating, you are trying to blackmail me! When did you sign the boundary treaty? When did I come here? Let them go, I gave Britain and France two months, and the same goes for you and Tsarist Russia. As long as the contract cannot be signed by then, the Qing Dynasty will launch a full-scale war with Tsarist Russia! "Putiyating is playing the trick of a white wolf with empty gloves. It was a bit insulting to Yang Meng's intelligence. Yang Meng stared at him and became confused. Who the hell is blackmailing whom in this scene? Facing the furious Duke of Qing, Putiyating was neither annoyed nor angry. Shi Shiran came to the negotiating table and picked up the boundary map that Yang Meng left behind. "Your Majesty, Tsarist Russia does want to annex part of the Qing Dynasty's territory, but now it seems that this idea is extremely wrong. On the border issue, our two countries can talk about it again! Tsarist Russia, as a powerful country across the Eurasian continent, It is also somewhat defeated now. Our country's defeat in the Crimea War is a sign! In today's world, Britain, France, Germany and Austria in Europe have begun to suppress the Asian continent. As countries on the Asian continent, Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty have a common enemy! . In this war, Britain and France not only used Tsarist Russia but also the Qing Dynasty. Your Majesty, if our two countries continue to go to war, it will be easier for Britain and France and other European powers. Geographically speaking, our two countries are neighbors. Moreover, your country can also provide many necessary supplies to Tsarist Russia. Your Majesty, there is a famous saying in your country, which is called the war between our two countries. No matter who wins or loses, the European countries will benefit after all. The Qing Dynasty has risen. Why can't our two countries cooperate with each other to go to war? Your Majesty, the Duke, is too easy. Is it possible, Your Majesty, to see Tsarist Russia fall to Britain and France? With the support of Britain and France, the Qing Dynasty and France Will the Duke still be so confident in the war between Tsarist Russia? Once the Qing Dynasty is defeated in the war between our two countries, the outcome of the Qing Dynasty may be worse than that of India! Think about it carefully, Your Majesty. How can we seek Eurasian hegemony if we cooperate with other countries?¡± Can Putyatyn become the plenipotentiary minister of Tsarist Russia in China? He is not a useless person. He has a considerable grasp of the situation. What he said is good. Unfortunately, geographical relations determine that Yang Meng will not cooperate with Tsarist Russia. Once Tsarist Russia rises, the big people will be suppressed. clear? "Ohsince Tsarist Russia wants to turn to Britain and France, why are you still hesitating? Just do it!" Land War. Yang Meng is not afraid of any country at all. He has guns in his hands, and the Qing Dynasty has people. The power of the artillery is not as powerful as it will be in the future. As long as he survives this spring, the Qing Dynasty's food production will be guaranteed and it can go to war with Tsarist Russia. There is a guarantee. If Nobel and others can build a large-scale fertilizer plant, the balance of victory in this war will tip to the Qing Dynasty. Britain and France are maritime countries after all, and they are at war with the Qing Dynasty. Now they have no confidence to fight in Tsarist Russia. It might not be a shortcut for Yang Meng to dominate. "Your Majesty, these words are for the benefit of our two countries. If you insist on being an enemy of Tsarist Russia, then our two countries will have to fight against each other!" , Tsarist Russia currently does not have such national power at all, and relies on Britain and France. Accepting aid and support from Britain and France is definitely not a good thing. Even if it were defeated, Tsarist Russia's losses would not be small, but the results of the war would have to be shared with Britain and France. It is very likely that in the process of sharing, Tsarist Russia was just a vassal, contributing too much and getting too little. Cooperation with Britain and France was There is no benefit at all. Once the war is defeated, Britain and France will probably abandon Tsarist Russia. Once the Qing Dynasty shows strong combat power, many unequal treaties will probably be imposed on Tsarist Russia. With the recognition of Britain and France, many treaties may not be able to do so in the future. changed. After the defeat of Tsarist Russia, I am afraid that the territory east of the Stanov Mountains was not paid. It is not impossible for the entire Tsarist Russia to be divided up. "No matter what happens, you can do whatever you want!" The war will start sooner or later, sooner rather than later. Tsarist Russia is now timid and unable to let go, so Yang Meng can only encourage him. Many border issues in Mongolia, the northwest, and the northeast are not easy to resolve. Rather than leaving them to future generations, it is better to resolve them in the near future. Britain and France are bound to be unconvinced when they seek peace, and the relationship between Britain and France is also very complicated. , to fight in Europe, Yang Meng has now abandoned this idea. Since there is no tangible benefit in Europe, it is better to turn around and deal with the weak Tsarist Russia. Although Tsarist Russia after the Crimean War?In the midst of changes, the Crimean War had a big impact on Tsarist Russia. Whether it was military strength or national strength, Tsarist Russia today is weak. A thousand birds in the forest is not as good as a bird in the hand. No matter how big the plan is, it will always be weak. Something substantial. " Moreover, the New Army's combat power is not particularly outstanding. If the New Army wants to become a powerful army in the world, it is also indispensable to defeat Tsarist Russia. Only an army that is familiar with war and accustomed to war can be a truly strong army. Now that they are at odds with Britain and France, the New Army's confidence is still a little lacking. Taking advantage of Tsarist Russia's weakness to train troops might be a shortcut. To put it bluntly, today's Yang Meng just wants to occupy territory like crazy until the Qing Dynasty is gone. , there is no such good opportunity. "Your Majesty the Duke, you are going your own way! In two months, I hope you will think about it carefully. Maybe it will not be a bad thing to cooperate with Tsarist Russia by then!" Yang Meng's attitude made Putiyating a little angry. It¡¯s a fever, but the current situation is extremely unfavorable to Tsarist Russia. Once it is used by Britain and France again, Tsarist Russia¡¯s national power will be consumed, which will be terrifying. Once Many things are not difficult to imagine. An all-out war with the Qing Dynasty is extremely inconsistent with Tsarist Russia¡¯s current interests. , a large-scale war involving millions of people is likely to lead to the collapse of a country. "You can do whatever you want!" Facing Putiyating's sincere words, Yang Meng was still as cold as ice. How did Waimeng get out? Who was behind the civil war back then? The shadow of Tsarist Russia was indispensable. Nowadays, little Japan is no longer a threat. Britain, France and Russia are the mortal enemies! If he didn't bring them to death, Yang Meng's life would have been in vain. "Your Majesty, the price of arrogance may be unbearable!" "Humph! We also have a famous saying here, which is to knock out teeth and swallow blood! I won't give it away!" Nowadays, Britain, France and Russia are just bastards wearing a pair of trousers, right? French Yang Meng can let go, and it is not impossible for England, but for Tsarist Russia, Yang Meng absolutely does not want to let go. The world today is in the process of change, with new weapons, new farming methods, and occupying land. If you miss this village, you will not be able to do it. This shop, no matter how great the hidden benefits are, is not as good as the real benefits. If the Qing Dynasty wants to go to war, it will not be able to win the hearts of the people without the expansion of its territory. (To be continued.
