Xinshun 1730

Chapter 83 Turnaround!The russian scapegoat is here
Waking up in the morning with a hangover.Qi Guogong's confidants have already sent over the draft "excessive price" regulations.

After freshening up and lighting the stove, Liu Yu looked at the regulations drafted by Duke Qi and thought it was acceptable.

He didn't care too much about the territorial issue of this demarcation, and it would be something to tear up sooner or later.On the contrary, he was very concerned about the matter that he asked Qi Guogong yesterday.

In the 2000 years of the Chinese Dynasty, each dynasty has its own style.But Dashun has not yet formed its own style.

The public opinion in the entire Dashun is quite a bit like "PTSD in the late Ming Dynasty", and it has a great stress reaction to the tragedy in the late Ming Dynasty that almost landed in Shenzhou.So far, the "post-traumatic stress disorder" in this mentality has not healed, the old sores will heal, and the new flesh will not grow.

In addition, Dashun chose the school of Ye Shi and Chen Liang as the official Confucianism, which added fuel to the flames on the cultural and diplomatic levels.

On the one hand, he compares himself with Li and Tang, hoping that his martial arts will prosper, that the Hu people will submit, and that he will expand the land for thousands of miles.Under utilitarianism, technology is not very exclusive; on the one hand, it is self-confident and orthodox, and the heaven and the country are different, and the Chinese and barbarians are different, and they are different from the barbarians. To stand still.

Seemingly contradictory, but in fact it makes sense: scholar-bureaucrats use binoculars to look at the stars, and scholars force women to bind their feet, and they are not mutually exclusive; accepting Western technology and cultural self-confidence are not mutually exclusive, but are mutually exclusive. thing.

Hundreds of years in advance, it goes without saying that the Celestial Dynasty is an undisputed cultural and technological strength; but now it needs to face external shocks that previous dynasties have never encountered.

The style of a dynasty always has historical reasons, and it is always forged in a prosperous age. Dashun's dynasty style is about to be formed.

Liu Yu very much hoped that by taking advantage of this opportunity, a large-scale envoy from Rakshasa could be brought to Beijing; the envoys from the Imperial Dynasty would go to Rakshasa to participate in the enthronement ceremony.Let Dashun begin to realize the changes in the outside world.

However, it is still in the stage of asking for prices, and the issue of the throne cannot be directly mentioned in the draft regulations. This should be a condition for negotiating the asking price.

…………

Two days later, the negotiation ground.

The Raksha people were surprised to find that the guards of Dashun had changed into flintlock guns and put on the dog fur hats of Swedish origin that looked familiar to them.

Liu Yu brought all the flintlock guns collected from the Eastern Front Battle, but he hadn't made up [-]. The rest of them simply didn't mix matchlock guns, but carried the curved knives used by the state's ceremonial guards.

This change of clothes seems to convey a certain meaning.It seems to be showing off its power, proving that Dashun has won the battle in the east; it also seems to be telling the Luocha people that Dashun has begun to install flintlock guns, or at least consciously intends to install flintlock guns.

In the camp, Earl Savoy also noticed something unusual on Dashun's side.Next to Duke Qi, there was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.

It's just that apart from the change of guards and the addition of an extra negotiating deputy, there is still no progress in the negotiation.It used to be that one person drank tea in the tent, but now it was replaced by two people drinking tea in the tent.

This time, it was the Count of Savoy's turn to be impatient.

News has just come from Petersburg that Tsar Catherine I died of a heart attack.

This was within Savoy's expectation, Empress Ekaterina I, she was a real figure who could run horses on her arms.

Back then, Peter was joking with people with the heavy marshal's staff, asking who could lift the marshal's staff with flat arms and only with deltoid muscles. A bunch of guards couldn't do it. stand up.She was fat and unruly by nature, and she was even more fun when she became a female tsarina. She drank too much alcohol and did some strenuous exercise, and it was not hard to imagine her sudden death from a heart attack.

But when the female tsar died, Peter II, the 11-year-old son of Peter's deposed prince, came to power with the support of important ministers.

Before the death of Peter the Great, in order to prevent the abolished princes from ascending to the throne, the new law was abolished to support the old party, and even the succession law was changed.Allowing women to ascend the throne is to prevent the remnants of the abolished prince and the conservative faction from coming to power.

Now that the 11-year-old little czar comes to power, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is a puppet.

11 year old child...

It can be seen that a Janissary coup is brewing again, and a large-scale purge is about to be carried out.

In the chaos inside, Savoy is outside, and he can still pretend that nothing happened.

But external problems made Sawa really unable to sit still.

Not long ago, on the Eastern Front, Emperor Dashun released some officers and asked these officers to convey to the Russian warlords in the Baikal region and Yakutsk that they would withdraw from Chinese territory immediately.

The news brought back by these officers made Sava even more restless.

The military officer said that Dashun's siege methods were obviously a standard course in French military academies.Moreover, in the Dashun army, French officers were found, and even the fleur-de-lis flag of the French royal family could be seen.

And... In the city, they vaguely heard Ottoman's military music.

These two pieces of news made Sawa feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The mortal enemy of Russia and Turkey has fought three battles, and the fourth battle has already begun.

As for France, Catherine I planned to marry her daughter to King Louis XV of France, but Louis XV married the daughter of the deposed king of Poland.The Polish issue and the refusal to marry her daughter led Russia to conclude an anti-French alliance with Austria.

Now, the officer who was released after being captured came to tell him that Dashun's method of attacking the city was obviously French, and there was a French officer corps guiding Dashun's army, which was like a bolt from the blue.

Russia has no way to establish an enemy at the imperial level in the three directions of west, center and east.Whether it is France, Turkey or Dashun, any side needs Russia to consume a lot of power.

Is it necessary for Russia to shed too much blood for the Far East?

The surrender of Khalkha Mongolia made Sava even more panicked by the long border. How many Cossacks and bastions are needed?
The combination of internal coup and external enemies finally made Sawa unable to sit still.

Seeing that Dashun sent new recruits, the guards began to equip flintlock guns and put on dog fur hats with a Swedish style, which made Savo decide to speak first.

"Your country's mission must explain why your country did not declare war? The Russian Empire expressed great indignation at your country's aggression. The Amur River Basin has already belonged to His Majesty the Tsar. Your actions are aggression."

Latin used in Savoy.

This time there was no need for others to translate, Liu Yu immediately took out the map that had been prepared and spread it on the table.

"The Heilongjiang River Basin has been China's territory since ancient times. Could it be that the Poles captured Moscow 100 years ago, and you took back Moscow as an invasion?"

When it comes time to really talk about business, be careful not to slap people in the face.But in the stage of nonsense before talking about serious business, it is necessary to specifically slap people in the face.

Referring to Poland's capture of Moscow, Sava said angrily: "The capital of your country was also occupied by the Tungus 80 years ago. Besides, the chief nobles of the Amur River Valley have surrendered to His Majesty the Tsar. Of course it belongs to the Russian Empire. territory."

Liu Yu pointed to the map and said: "During the Ming Dynasty, there was already a garrison here. This is the inscription at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River. The inscription is still there now. You can send someone to follow us to investigate. The relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Dashun is as follows: Like the Rurik Dynasty and the Romanov Dynasty, it is a matter of course to inherit all their legal lands."

Sava looked at the rubbings of the Yongning Temple Stele and the locations of the standard Ming Dynasty guards on the detailed map, and could only turn to argue: "At that time they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, but now their leaders have surrendered to the Tsar .”

Liu Yu laughed.

"Hua Xiazi is different from you. There is no king in the world. There are no real nobles in Huaxia, only false nobles."

"Your king, the full name is the king of Great Russia, Little Russia, and Belarus; Dukes of Kiev, Smolensk, and Pskov; Princes of Tver, Princes of Perm, Ryazan, and Belozersk..."

He read the full name of the tsar in the text submitted by Sava as if he was giving the name of the dish. He almost held back and took a deep breath and said, "Isn't the son of Hua Xia holding several positions? Could it be the king's ministers. You said that some leaders in the Heilongjiang River Valley surrendered to you, so what's the matter with their people? You can take away those nobles who surrendered to you, but the land belongs to the people living there. I expressed my submission to Prince Hua Xia, everyone is a direct subject of the emperor, and it is normal for the princes of Hua Xia to ask for the land back for their direct subjects, how can it be called an invasion?"

After speaking, he used Qi Guogong as an example.

"This is the Duke of Qi from Dashun. Qi is a place. Could it be said that the Duke of Qi has the sovereignty over the land? This is not the same thing at all. If the nobles there call you ministers, then they are no longer the ministers of Hua Xiazi. Hua Xiazi will choose a minister to govern the land there. He is no longer Hua Xiazi's minister, so why should he have jurisdiction over the land there? Besides, having jurisdiction does not own ownership. Could it be that the mayor of Moscow Can you sell Moscow to me directly?"

Both sides are talking about the same thing, and their understanding of the principles of the Fa is not on the same channel at all, and they can't understand it at all.

Qi Guogong continued to drink tea without saying a word.

Neither understand nor want to listen, this kind of talk is the most boring.He could trust Liu Yu. Since the emperor asked Liu Yu to come over as his deputy, it was natural for Liu Yu to do this kind of thing.

Naturally, Liu Yu was not afraid of arguing. With the map "gifted" by Bering and the map in hand, he did not panic when speaking.

The nonsense has been brought to the back, and it has already involved Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's claim that he is the king of kings, the map opened up borders, and he denounced Russia's aggression against Persia.

Anyway, Liu Yu is not in a hurry. He knows that Russia is unable to carry out a large-scale war. At least in the Heilongjiang River Basin, it is impossible to gather a field force.

Quarreling during the day, drinking and eating hot pot at night.Take the weekend off and go hunting.

He is dragging.

The political situation in Russia is in chaos.

From the middle of July of the lunar calendar to the middle of August, it finally reached a turning point.

This day is Sunday, as usual, there will be no negotiations.Liu Yu found out that a group of newcomers had appeared in the Russian envoys. He thought that Russia was getting tough again, so he couldn't help feeling nervous.

But the next day, Sawa, who had been negotiating with them, disappeared, and it was an old man in his 80s who was also an earl.

Liu Yu asked Qi Guogong to write a note, took 200 taels of public funds, and bribed some people in the Russian mission. After asking the old man's identity, he was immediately excited.

This old man is called Peter Andreyevich Tolstoy.It should be that Tolstoy's grandfather, who was born in the year when Dashun defeated Le Ke Dehun in the Jingzhou battle, and he is already over 80 now.

This man did one thing... that is, he went to Naples and captured the father of the little tsar and the deposed prince back then.He was also the presiding judge who sentenced the abolished prince to death.

The blame man.

It couldn't be more obvious.
