"You...... It's useless for you to say this, you haven't been able to prove the truth of this secret decree until now, how do I know if you're bluffing me?" Hunchun desperately tried to make his tone tougher, but when he said it, he always showed a hint of guilt.

Long Ye smiled contemptuously, "Your butler has already proved my identity just now, this is not a lie, is it?

"You don't know Your Majesty's handwriting, but someone else knows, if you send someone to the Heilongjiang General's Mansion secretly, I think someone should know Your Majesty's handwriting......"

"Actually, none of that matters, you haven't asked me until now, you haven't asked me what happened on the other side of the Ussuri River, don't you want to know?"

"Hair ...... What happened?" Hunchun's momentum was suddenly suppressed.

Long Ye sighed, "Half a month ago, thousands of Qingdao miners outside Vladivostok were massacred by the Russians, and before that, countless remnants of the Celestial Empire were brutally expropriated and brutally suppressed by Russian soldiers in the Far East...... Don't you know any of that?"

"No, you know, you know very well what those rakshasas are doing, but you are too timid to help, not even to ...... support."

"I ...... What can we do? The imperial court has ceded that land, what else can we do?" Hunchun's eyes were a little red.

"Imperial court!" Long Ye shouted sharply, "The imperial court ceded that land, did it also cede the people of that land? You tell me that the article in the treaty says that the remnants of the Celestial Empire on the east bank of the Ussuri River have been converted into Russian people? Let me ask you again, does the imperial court still recognize or not the Qing nationality of those immigrants?"

This series of questions suddenly asked Hunchun, not to mention the Qing Dynasty in that era, even European international law was gradually improving, and there were no very accurate legal provisions to interpret the concept of nationality.

In the 1860 Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing, the Russians acquired nearly 1 million square kilometers of land north of the Heilongjiang River and east of the Ussuri River, including Sakhalin Island, but the treaty did not say that the people of this land would be ceded to the Russians.

On the contrary, in the Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty, there is also a special explanation for these remnants: "The above is an empty place." Russia is not allowed to occupy any place where the Chinese live or where the Chinese occupy fishing and hunting, and the Chinese are still allowed to fish and hunt as usual. ”

This sentence is written in black and white at the end of Article 1 of the treaty, which shows that until the conclusion of the treaty, the Qing State recognized the nationality of the Chinese in that land, and even asked Russia to protect it.

This is the truth, Xiao Letian will have a lawsuit with the Russians in the future, and this is the great reason that the Russians cannot get around.

Moreover, at the end of Article 8 of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing, there is an important sentence: "If a Chinese lives privately in Russia or flees to Russia, the magistrate shall do the same." If there is a serious case of homicide, robbery, serious injury, murder, or burning of a house, it is found that the offender is a Russian offender, and the offender is sent to his home country to be punished according to the law; Chinese offenders, either in the place where the crime was committed or elsewhere, are subject to China's punishment according to the law. In the event of a large or small case, the consular officer and the magistrate shall not take from each other in vain, keep it, or investigate and cure it. ”

This and the top one very obviously form a complete chain of evidence, the Qing State ceded land but did not allow Russia to destroy the living environment of the remnants, how those people of the Celestial Empire lived before and how they should live, the Qing Dynasty never gave up their nationality.

How to prove that the Qing Dynasty did not renounce the nationality of these people? It can be seen in the judicial power, your old Maozi's law must also stand aside, the Chinese must be punished in accordance with the Chinese law when they break the law, if this cannot prove anything, then how do you want to prove it?

Long Ye took advantage of the victory to pursue Hunchun, who said with a sharp mouth, and was speechless: "General, you also know how difficult it was for the imperial court to cede land and pay compensation, it was a decision made as a last resort, and the imperial court still protected their people in the end, so this article was added to the treaty, have you forgotten it all?"

"Now the villagers on the east bank of the Ussuri River are suffering, they have been slaughtered and plundered, and you are standing aside and watching? Don't forget that the defense of the entire Ussuri River is in the hands of your General Ningguta, and the imperial court will not be able to feed you for nothing if you have raised troops for a hundred years?"

"I'm ......" Hunchun was already overwhelmed and speechless, and the old housekeeper next to him begged with sweat, "This general...... Master Long, Master Long! My general also has a hard time......

"The imperial court has not paid the full amount of military salaries for ten years, and the rations of the soldiers in the barracks are about to become a problem, not to mention the musket bullets, how can my general manage it?"

"The old man on the other side is full of fast guns and fast horses and flowering artillery, but what about our side? It is still bird guns, bows and arrows, broadswords and spears...... There is really no way for us to fight except to guard the pass and not let Lao Maozi gain an inch!"

Hunchun slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Don't say it...... You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed! The dynasty is already like this, don't I want to be good......

Staring at the scarlet eyes, Hunchun looked up at Long Ye, "What do you want?" I, Hunchun, am also a man, if I really carry a knife and fight with Lao Maozi, I am not afraid of anyone! But don't try to move my soldiers, I will never send troops, I have to guard the rest of the land...... I have to keep the rest of the land for the dynasty!"

This is a good man outside the gate, you can distinguish between right and wrong, you Long Ye squeezed me with words, then I don't want my life, it's no problem to carry a knife to the front line, but the army can't move, I can't give Lao Maozi the excuse to invade, I have lost a million square kilometers, I can't throw it anymore.

Long Ye patted him on the shoulder, "Good man! I don't want you to move troops across the river, I just want you to send a message to the border guards, so that we can cross the Ussuri River freely, and you don't have to worry about the rest!"

"We spend our own money to buy food, we have our own foreign guns and horses to fight, we use the name of the volunteer army to do it with Lao Maozi, we have no nationality, our only identity is the army spontaneously organized by the remnants of the land who are unwilling to be humiliated, we are completely from the people, so that none of us are involved!"

"I'll let you see how we fought, the battle of Sandaogou is just the beginning and definitely not the end, it won't take me ten years to change the color of the rivers and mountains on the other side!"

Hunchun's face also turned hideous: "Okay, as long as you promise not to make trouble in my jurisdiction, what if I let you in! But if I find out that you have plundered the people's property to replenish military funds, then don't blame me for being rude! In a word, don't disturb the people, don't cause trouble!"

Long Ye pouted, "Hehe, you are a poor ghost like you, and you have to search for places to fight?" Wait for your eyes...... Now why don't you invite me to a drink?"

Hunchun almost didn't choke to death by Long Ye's words, "Okay! You are ruthless! I want to see how you fight, anyway, I said ugly things in the front, the military salary given to me by the imperial court is insufficient, and I don't have a penny to support you...... Let the small kitchen fire again, prepare the wine and food, and I'll hear how the three ditches are won!"
