"Do you understand the meaning of the words Far Eastern Volunteers?" Xiao Letian put down the pen in his hand, hesitated and drank the cup of chicken soup, with the same expression as the medicine.

"The Far East is a vast land, and if you look at our map, there are 400,000 square kilometers of land east of the Ussuri River, including Sakhalin Island, and more than 600,000 square kilometers of land from the north bank of the Heilongjiang River and the Amur River to the Trans-Khingan Mountains......

"These places are called Guanwai by the Manchurians, and the Russians are called the Far East, but I prefer to call this the Oroqen safari ground, the real owners of this land are actually the Oroqen people, but their social structure is too primitive, belonging to a very ancient tribal civilization......"

"All backward civilizations naturally have a sense of closeness to higher civilizations, which is the inevitable development of human society, because higher civilizations have higher scientific and technological and cultural levels, and more developed material levels, and who does not yearn for a better life?"

"You can cut meat with a knife instead of gnawing it directly, you can sprinkle delicate salt in the broth, and you can use an iron pot to cook it...... These bits and pieces of life have created a great attraction of higher civilizations to lower civilizations!"

"There is not only one Manchu in Baishan and Heishui, why would other ethnic groups submit to the Manchus? It is because the Manchus have finally become a high-level civilization in the eyes of many ethnic groups in Baishan and Heishui through trade with the Ming Dynasty and continuous study of the Central Plains civilization......

"Thirteen pairs of armor to raise troops, it sounds a bit of a joke, but you have to understand what a piece of armor meant outside the gate back then? That is thirteen invincible heavy cavalry! At that time, iron armor was not at all a divine object that the nomads outside the gate could imagine, and even the leather armor made of nitrate was a secret craft that the backward people could not imitate......

Xiao Letian smiled, "The Manchus used the civilization stolen from the Central Plains to crush other tribes, and finally gathered into the Manchu nation, and got the allegiance of more distant tribes, and finally entered the Central Plains to establish the ......"

"Now, the Manchus have abandoned their former allies, the Oroqens, and ceded their territory to the Russians, which is actually bullying those Oroqen people for not being civilized enough...... At this time, we came to help them, to use a higher civilization to win the hearts and minds of the Oroqen people, and through long-term and complex military struggles, these nomadic primitive tribesmen gradually became accustomed to an organized life......"

"Finally building an independent country on this land, that's what I'm aiming for!"

"Huh?" Long Ye was stunned at that time, "Prime Minister, are you ...... Don't you want to snatch this land back to China? You want to help those military slaves and Oroqen people in Ningguta build a country?"

Xiao Letian shook his head, "You don't understand, governing the country doesn't rely on blood, you can't always think about having fun, and if you don't plan for the overall situation, you will definitely hit the south wall in the end!"

"How many times have I said that the various treaties signed by the Manchus and the Western powers, although they lost their power and humiliated the country, but the binding nature of the law was mutual, for example, the Sino-Russian "Beijing Treaty" ceded the land at the same time, in fact, it also recognized the Manchu Qing in disguise that this land had the legal right to rule!"

"Do you think it's a bit of a stretch? In fact, it is very simple, if the Russian wants to show the world the legitimacy of his rule over this land, he must recognize the legitimacy of the Treaty of Peking, and to put it simply, he must first prove the legitimacy of the Manchu rule, and recognize the Manchus as the legitimate rulers of China......

"The legitimacy of the rule of the Manchus proves that the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing is legitimate, and since the treaty is legitimate, then their rule over this land is also legitimate...... It's like an iron chain, if you negate any of them, the chain breaks. ”

"Why do we have the banner of the Far Eastern Volunteers, and not China or the Ryukyus, because we cannot bypass this chain of law, because we ourselves are a link in the chain......"

"If we recover this land under the banner of Ryukyu or China, who should we give it to? Ryukyu has always recognized itself as a vassal state of China, while the Western powers still recognize the Qing Dynasty as the legitimate ruler of China......

"Are you playing these two banners? Okay, after the victory, please return it to the Manchus, are you willing?"

"I don't want to! Why should we give them full of people after we shed blood and sacrificed the land?"

"Of course, we have face, when do officials care about face? They ask you for the sovereignty of the land, and if you don't give it to you, you will be a rebel, and even the entire Western powers will accuse us of being a traitor and a traitor to international law, and they will have the pretext to interfere......

"Hey...... Don't forget, Lord Long, that the unpacifying treaties of the Western powers in China were all signed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty! If he wants to rely on these treaties to take advantage of China, he must recognize the legitimacy of the treaties, and just like the iron chain principle just mentioned, if he wants to recognize the treaties, he must first recognize the Manchus as the legitimate rulers of China!"

Long Ye's fists were clenched, his bone joints clicked, and he was already angry to a critical point.

"Don't be angry, really don't be angry, at this time, it depends on whether my volunteers are good or not...... Think about it, if you don't want to break the chains of power in the past, then what's the only way? hahaha, of course, build a new chain!"

"We use the title of the Far East, the purpose is very clear, what we want is the land of the Far East, the Volunteers and any national forces do not belong to the upper and lower levels, this is an army spontaneously organized by the people born and raised in the Far East, and what they want to fight for is autonomy!"

"The nature of the war changed all at once, the enemy of the Russians was no longer a tangible state, de jure their enemies were the people who were born and raised in the land!"

"Righteousness, courage, and courage! They simply cannot accept the tyranny of the Russians and try to become independent people; this is not without precedent; how did the Spanish colonies in Central and South America become independent countries? How did Bolivia, Peru, Chile, and other countries establish their own countries?"

"It depends on the native people of their own country to organize armies to fight the colonists, as long as you can defeat the murderous enemy, whether it is the Russians or the French or the British, and defeat all enemies, your country will be recognized by the world!"

"Master Long! Go to the Far East, you can really be regarded as fighting alone in the desperate region, the situation is complex and changeable, many times the war is completed by a series of skirmishes, dozens or even hundreds of people in skirmishes, you and those Central Plains martial arts masters will be useful!"

"Ambushes, night raids, infiltration, assassinations...... As long as you can defeat the enemy, you can use all the tricks of the ninth rank on the rivers and lakes, this war cannot be ended in a year or two, and this arduous task cannot be completed by anyone except you!"
