Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 300 Kulun Treaty
"It's a horrible country."

Petrovich's face changed slightly.

The display of these [-] armored cavalry let him know the gap between the Russian Empire and the Ming Empire.

Don't say anything else.

Just the [-] pairs of steel armor alone, the Russian Empire can't make up - don't look at the size of the Russian Empire, but in fact there are not many sites that can really make some money.

Moreover, the Russian Empire is not a country with any competitive products, they are a serfdom agricultural country.

If they can really have "fist commodities" like silk, porcelain, and tea like China, they may not have any motivation and willingness to expand all the way to the east—the Russian Empire's expansion of Siberia is more driven by the Russian Empire. Fur needs.

Now the Russian Empire is about to lose Eastern Siberia.

This was Petrovich's first thought after seeing the [-] cuirassiers.

What he has to face is a great empire that can produce a large amount of steel, and its industrial and military capabilities far exceed those of Russia.

The technological strength of this country is even more advanced than most European countries.

The population is so large and the resources are so abundant.

"It's crazy to fight the Chinese across thousands of miles."

thought Petrovich.

In his mind, he thought of the appearance of his great emperor's mother who was about to fight the Chinese with her teeth and claws.

This crazy woman has no idea how powerful the Ming Empire is.

This is simply hitting a stone with an egg and consuming Russia's power in the east in vain.

"Your Highness, we are a European country after all, and Russia's core interests lie in Europe."

Mikhail reminded.

Petrovich took a deep breath.

"Yeah, so we need to seek peace in the East." Petrovich said.

"Let's go, the great emperor is waiting for us." Petrovich said, "Speaking of which, I had a relationship with the Chinese emperor in Paris."

Petrovich remembered that when he visited Paris, the French king at that time invited Zhu Daohua to the reception banquet, but at that time he was the crown prince of the Russian Empire, and Zhu Daohua was also a very famous doctor in Europe.

But there will be no contact between the two parties on that occasion.

Zhu Daohua only came to the French king's banquet as a celebrity in Paris.

now.

Seven or eight years have passed.

The two sides will actually meet in this scene
Petrovich's mood was very complicated.

Came to the big tent of Emperor Ming.

Petrovich was told that only the Russian crown prince and Admiral Repnin and Lieutenant General Mikhail were eligible to enter the tent to meet the emperor.

The three looked at each other.

A sense of humiliation welled up in my heart.

But finally gave in.

You can't win on the battlefield, and you can't get any equal treatment on diplomatic occasions.

This is the rule of the international community in this era.

Three people entered the tent.

Petrovich saw Zhu Daohua sitting in the main seat at a glance.

Zhu Daohua smiled, and looked at the Russian crown prince who had met once in Europe.

This occasion is in fact a "coalition under the city".

The defeated Petrovich had no bargaining chips.

So when he sat opposite Zhu Daohua, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.

But Guan Zhu Daohua was very polite.

"Peter, there is no enmity between China and Russia in fact. The Ming Dynasty is not the Mongol Empire, and it cannot be the Mongol Empire. As long as the Europeans do not expand in the direction of China, we will not enter Europe as aggressively as the Mongols."

Zhu Daohua said.

Whether it will enter Europe is a matter for the future.

The key now is to stabilize Russia.

Since Russia will expand to the west and south, the existence of Russia is beneficial to Ming Dynasty.

Ming Dynasty will not provoke large-scale wars in the Old Continent, nor will it participate in wars in the Old Continent, especially among Europeans.

When the war between the Anti-French Alliance and France is about to break out.

In this window of time, it was time for Da Ming to start marching to the New World.

It is necessary to stabilize Russia.

It is even better to support the Russians to expand westward and expand the war in Europe.

"The idea of ​​your great emperor mother insisting on expanding eastward is unrealistic and stupid!"

Zhu Daohua spoke very bluntly.

However, the three Russians present did not refute.

"So... I can support you to become Russia's new tsar, and support Russia's expansion to the Balkan Peninsula, the Caucasus region, and the Eastern European plains. China and Russia can join forces to establish the order of the old continent."

As soon as Emperor Zhu made a move, he drew a big cake.

He didn't quite believe it himself.

But the Russian Crown Prince Petrovich showed signs of emotion.

If the Ming Empire can support Russia to dominate Eastern Europe and Asia Minor.

Well, the Russian Empire won't lose by standing on Ming's side in the future competition for world hegemony.
"Your Majesty, so are you willing to ally with Russia?"

Repnin asked incredulously.

"The covenant is unnecessary. I think that as long as the leaders of Russia in the future are smart enough, they will realize that even if the covenant is not needed, the east is not an area that Russia can touch. For Ming, the warm south is our goal. .”

Emperor Zhu said.

"And Ming will never form an alliance with any country, unless Russia is willing to claim vassalage from Ming."

This is the basic diplomatic policy of Ming Dynasty.

Daming is too big.

And it does not represent the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

There are also many vassal states of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty will not form an alliance, and the Ming Empire plus the vassal states under its command is half the world.

There is no need for an alliance at all.

Especially in alliance with European countries.

The alliance will limit the flexibility of Ming's diplomacy, but will not bring any actual benefits.

"The Russian Empire will not claim vassalage from any country.",

"That's enough." Emperor Zhu stood up, "[-] rifled guns, [-] field howitzers, plus enough ammunition, the Russian army will withdraw from Irkutsk, and the complete Irkutsk The city defense system is exchanged for the Great Ming Zhengxi Capital Division, and the two sides use the Yenisei River as the border."

"If you agree...you can sign this treaty."

As soon as Emperor Zhu's words fell, diplomats came to Petrovich holding a Chinese-Russian bilingual treaty.

This is a secret agreement that will not be made public for the time being, but Emperor Zhu is not afraid that the other party will not perform the agreement-Petrovich will take away all Russian troops in Eastern Siberia. In this case, there is only one indigenous tribe left in Eastern Siberia. It is not difficult at all to bring it into rule.

Petrovich didn't hesitate either.

On this contract known as the "Sino-Russian Kulun Treaty" in history, he signed his name.
