Xinshun 1730

Chapter 80 Open a small hole

After Liu Yu left the tent, Li Gan couldn't help but stretched out his hand and rubbed his aching head.

Whether the method is really usable is hard to say now.But with the attack on the fort before, Li Gan believed in some of Liu Yu's ghost ideas better than he didn't believe them.

It's just that this style of acting is very different from the Celestial Dynasty system.

The trade between Mongolia and Rakshasa is fine.Although it is inconsistent with etiquette, Rakshasa is a foreign country after all, not within the tributary system.

When doing it, you can also cover it up so that people don't know it.

Anyway, Mongolia and Rakshasa don't read the Four Books and Five Classics, and they can't write articles to criticize, even if they criticize, they can't approve the point.

But the approach to North Korea is purely to shock the world.

According to Liu Yu, in order to allow North Korea to open its ports and open its seas, only Dashun merchants are allowed to trade in North Korea. If other countries want to trade in North Korea, they need the joint consent of North Korea and North Korea's suzerain country.

The stationed commissioner opened a port in North Korea.Once a conflict occurs between the North Koreans and the Dashun merchants, it should be handed over to the stationed commissioner for trial, not to the North Korean side.

The fleet of Dashun merchants is allowed to sail in the coastal waters of North Korea. If they encounter storms and waves, they can go to North Korea's ports to take shelter.Tariffs imposed by the North Korean side should be negotiated with the suzerain country.

I won’t mention the rest, just these few items, I am afraid that the jaws of scholars all over the world will be shocked.

This is called suzerain-vassal system?

Where is benevolence and righteousness?

Where is the etiquette?

The millennium system has always been in place, and there has never been such a suzerain-vassal system.In this way, how is it different from barbarians?
Koreans read the Four Books and Five Classics. Once this kind of thing is publicized, it will definitely shake the scholars and think that they are the king of Zhou and Jie.

This is equivalent to the suzerain country's own belief that "the traditional suzerain-vassal system is coming to an end."

This is Zhou Tianzi's self-destructive ritual and music.

Li Gan was not stupid, and he could see that with this set of operations, the suzerain-vassal relationship between North Korea and Dashun would be more stable.

Moreover, Dashun can easily control North Korea's internal affairs and economy.

Taking advantage of the current civil strife in North Korea, it is entirely possible for the North Korean side to accept such terms.

But such a thing can never be done.

Even if the control over North Korea is properly strengthened, the terms Liu Yu said will never be followed.

"North Korea, Khalkha, Rakshasa, Junggar...all rushed together and became a mess. Now, for the first time, the Celestial Dynasty is going to face a big neighboring country with a diplomatic method other than the suzerain-vassal tribute system. Is it possible? In his opinion, this vassal tribute cannot last forever?"

The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He rubbed the corners of his eyes with his fingers, and the servant hurriedly served the rose gold silk smoke from Luzon.

I picked it up a little bit, took a strong sniff with my nose, and sneezed two times with my eyes closed, only then did I wake up a bit.

The chiming clock in the tent also jingled eight times, and the night was getting dark.

I went out and turned around for half a circle, looked up at the starry sky that was very different from the capital, and looked at the Big Dipper, which was much higher than in the capital, until Yang's neck felt a little sore, and then he returned to the big tent.

Sitting by the table, facing the blank rice paper, without picking up a pen, just sitting there in a daze.

After a long time, he sighed.

"You want to poke a big hole in this house, but I can only poke a small hole in the window paper."

…………

Selenga River Valley on the south shore of Lake Baikal.

Two hundred elite guards of honor from the Dashun Beijing Camp and two hundred Russian veterans who participated in the Great Northern War or the Third Russo-Turkish War stood in two rows looking at each other.

The Jingying elite carried a knife on his waist and a heavy matchlock gun on his back.

The Russians on the opposite side took out the elites to support the scene, all of them carried flintlock guns on their backs.

Soldiers from both sides stood on both sides of the road leading to several large camps in the valley.

In the past few years, along with Peter the Great's reforms, under the pain of reforms, the average height of Russia has dropped to 1.6 meters.

Inside the tent, a special negotiation is going on.

Qi Guogong didn't say a word, and the attendants kept adding tea to him.

The Earl of Savoy on the opposite side also kept smoking there without saying a word.

Thousands of miles away, the battle is still going on, and the negotiations here have never stopped, but neither side said a word.

At the very beginning, Dashun went to war against Russia, and Earl Savoy, the plenipotentiary special envoy of the Russian envoy, wanted to frighten the Duke of Qi and wanted to be the first to win, so he sent an invitation to the Duke of Qi to continue the negotiation.

But in fact, he didn't know what to talk about at all, he just wanted to scare and humiliate Duke Qi who didn't dare to come.

Qi Guogong was not frightened too much, he came with his guards and didn't speak after he came.

Sit here at ten o'clock every morning and start drinking tea.

Eat at noon, come back at three o'clock in the afternoon, and continue to drink tea.

Since the war started in the front, the idea of ​​continuing negotiations in the rear was put forward by Vasa.

Qi Guogong came to drink tea on time every day, and Sava had nothing to talk about, so he could only smoke on time every day.

Sit with each other for an hour or so, and eat after get off work.

In this negotiation, the Russians originally wanted to cross the border issue and directly chose to enter Beijing to negotiate business.

The Russians feel that there is no need to talk about the border issue for the time being, it has become a fait accompli, so what else is there to talk about?
It's just that he was harassed by Qi Guogong for a long time, and he refused to give an inch on the issue of etiquette, and finally dragged it to Dashun and was ready to go to war.

When the news of the war came, the Duke of Qi had known it for a long time, but the Earl of Savoy was unprepared and was in a hurry.

Urgently reported to Petersburg, and it took a month or two for the news to go back and forth. Earl Savoy thought of intimidation before the arrival of Petersburg's instructions.

Who would have thought that Qi Guogong would not care about this kind of intimidation. If you talk about it, I will talk about it. Whoever dares to come has his grandson.

Taking the posture of Mianchihui, the two sides sent out 200 guards each, and agreed to meet in the Selenga River Valley in the border area.

Five miles away from the meeting place, the main forces of both sides assembled, gearing up.Avoid conflict as much as possible, but are all ready to attack as soon as the order is received.

Qi Guogong and Sava sit quietly in the tent every day, and the soldiers are outside ready to fight at any time, but the business personnel who survey the border cannot sit quietly.

This time, a large number of students from the Department of Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences also came to this small border town, and their majors are very suitable for boundary survey.

The professors of these students are very famous. The professor of physics and mathematics at the Russian Academy of Sciences at this time is Bernoulli, the Bernoulli of the Bernoulli equation of fluid mechanics.

Before these students came, they also heard one thing: Euler, who was admitted to university at the age of 13 and published a thesis at the age of 19, was going to Petersburg to be a professor in their mathematics department.The Russian Academy of Sciences is finally going to start teaching calculus, and for a long time to come, the level of Russian mathematics will be world-class, and there will be a large number of talents. This is indisputable.

The students of the Academy of Sciences are always fanatical, even if they are eagerly looking forward to returning to the Academy of Sciences to continue studying mathematics and to meet the famous Professor Euler who was already famous at a young age.But thinking of the frontier issue, he was still full of enthusiasm, braving the wind and sand to survey and map the border every day.

Their professors are horrible, and so is the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Even a traveler like Liu Yu still feels guilty when facing Bernoulli and Euler.Even if he was born 300 years later, his mathematics level is far behind. I dare not compare him. He is a fierce man who can calculate calculus in his head.

Dashun also took out almost all of its mathematical surveying and mapping talents.

Except for some of the small officials who followed the missionaries to map the latitude and longitude to the east with Liu Yu, the rest all came here with Duke Qi.

What is difficult to solve now is the eastern line, that is, the Heilongjiang section from the Onan River and the Shilika River to the east.

The Russians in the west seem to have an advantage, but it is also clear that when the Junggar tribe attacked Khalkha Mongolia in the north, the Khalkha tribe did not choose to vote for Russia or chose to go south for help. The frontier on the western front has basically been fixed.

This is not a semi-inhabited land like in the east. The Mongolian tribes still have a large population, and Russia is now unable to resist the combination of Dashun artillery infantry and Mongolian cavalry.

What the two sides really want to talk about is still on the Eastern Front.

The Russians had no idea what Dashun meant in the east; Qi Guogong was even more uncertain. When he came, he didn’t have a map of the Eastern Front until he received the Sinicization sent by Kuai Ma. After seeing the map "sent" by Bering, Qi Guogong was relieved.

Fortunately, Liu Yu had an idea in the early stage, and he insisted on the issue of etiquette.Sure enough, the Earl of Savoy was forced to take the initiative to refute, and he was pulling skins on the title issue for several months.

Savoy thought it was the arrogance of the Eastern Empire, but he didn't realize it until the news of the war broke out.

Taking advantage of these few months, the draftsmen who followed Qi Guogong hurriedly drew the map of the western border.

Up to now, the two sides have almost done the boundary survey on the western front, and Dashun at least knows some cartography, so they won't be too fooled by others.

One side is a promising student who learned mathematics from Bernoulli; the other side is a junior official who learned N hand-painted graphics from a missionary. Although there is not a small gap in mathematics level, there is not much difference in boundary mapping.

The seemingly scary Russia has actually exposed its fragility: Westernization has just begun, and there is not enough manpower. Even the mathematics students in the Academy of Sciences have to come up with it.

But in addition to its fragility, it also reveals its ferocity: in less than ten years since its establishment, the Russian Academy of Sciences will be able to bear the first fruit - discovered the law of conservation of mass, laid the foundation for modern chemistry, established Moscow University, perfected Russian grammar and The fisherman's son of rhetoric, Lomonosov.

And Dashun... is still making up the original geometry.
