Chapter 1300 on the Jin-Russia Border Treaty
In the Russo-Japanese War in history, Japan won the victory, and some people in China proposed to extort 3 billion yen of military indemnity from Russia, but Russia just wanted no money, and had the ability to continue to fight, so that although Japan won the Russo-Japanese War, it did not get much benefit in the end, but owed more than 800 million yen in loans.
Sun Kewang didn't know why the Rakshasa people suddenly changed sex, but someone soon gave him an answer.
In fact, in the more than a month since the coalition forces confronted the Russian army on the Volga River and sought peace talks, the situation in Eastern Europe has been in turmoil, the situation has been ups and downs, and the already complicated relations in Eastern Europe have once again triggered a major war.
After Poland dared Sweden to go out, it signed a peace treaty with Sweden, and its eyes immediately turned back to Ukraine.
Previously, because of the Swedish raid, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had to accept Russia's conditions and recognize the autonomous status of Ukraine in exchange for Russia's withdrawal from the war against Poland, but now that Poland has repelled Sweden, it is not satisfied with the previous treaty and wants to regain control of Ukraine.
It just so happened that at this time, the news of the defeat of the Russian army in the Eastern Crusade came, and Poland remembered the Golden Horde, an ally he had betrayed, so he set up troops on the border and wanted to retake Ukraine.
At the same time, Sweden, the hegemon of Northern Europe, also seemed to be intent on dealing with a somewhat restless Russia, reducing the Russian threat to the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, and the army entered Russia, and several conflicts that broke out ended in Russia's defeat.
By the end of July, 30,000 Polish troops had entered Ukraine again, and the pressure on the western front of the Russian army had increased greatly, Poland and Sweden were both powerful countries, both countries had fought Moscow, and the Russian army could not help but pay attention to it, so Tsar Alexei changed his tough attitude and sent envoys to Morozov to preside over the peace talks.
On the east bank of the Volga River, where the camp spreads, cattle and sheep are flocked, more than 80,000 allied troops are stationed here, and the 30,000 Russian troops on the west bank are opposed.
At this time, more than 30 miles south of the Jin army barracks, a group of more than 10 cavalry escorted an officer, bypassed the guard of the Russian army, and entered the area controlled by the Jin state.
After a short time, they encountered a Mongol patrol cavalry, and the Mongol centurion led by them stopped them, and shouted loudly in Mongolian: "Who are you?" What are you here for? ”
These cavalrymen are all Westerners, but their equipment is different from that of the Russian army, they are more gorgeous, and the cavalry also has two wing-like wings on their backs.
The man was not in a hurry, and the officer at the head looked back and said a few words in Bo, and one of the Tatars in the group stepped forward and replied in a loud voice: "We are the envoys of Great Poland, and we have come to meet your Khan." ”
Hearing that it was a Polish envoy, the Mongolian centurion frowned and was not happy, but when he saw that it was not a Rakshasa man, he still said: "Follow me, don't run around, lest you cause misunderstanding and be killed." ”
After listening to the Tatar translation, the officer saluted with his hands on his chest and smiled, "Thank you." ”
Along the way, the Polish envoys saw the Mongolian and Yuzi sentinels from time to time, and when they arrived near the camp, they saw a tens of thousands of elite cavalry galloping on the steppe, the uniforms were unified, and the battle flags were flying, which surprised them.
Among them, more than 7,000 cavalrymen, still wearing plate armor on their chests, galloped to a shooting range, raised their flintlock pistols, and fired at a target two hundred paces away.
The modernization of the European army has just begun, many countries have established standing armies, and military uniforms are gradually standardized, but in relatively backward Eastern Europe, there are still a large part of the army, which is still the model of the lords.
The Poles did not expect to see tens of thousands of troops wearing the same uniforms here, and there were tens of thousands of them.
With so many standing armies, the Poles could not help but be shocked, and at the same time wondered how the Mongols could have such an army and be armed with so many muskets.
The Poles, in confusion and constant looking, were led into the Sangha camp.
At this time, in Sun Kewang's big tent, a screen separated the tent, and a long table was placed in the front part, with four chairs on each side, several Russians sat on the west side, and two Jin officials sat on the east side of the table, as well as the Mongols and Yuzi.
On both sides of the table were discussing the peace treaty between Jin and Russia, and Sun Kewang and Wu Sangui were sitting behind the screen, drinking tea while listening to the negotiations between the two countries outside.
At this time, two Mongolian interpreters, one fluent in Russian and one proficient in Chinese, stood on either side of the table, translating the words of the Russians outside.
A bearded Russian sitting in the middle to the west spoke first, and then the Mongolians, who were proficient in Russian, first translated Russian into Mongolian, and then the Mongolians who were proficient in Chinese translated Mongolian into Chinese and listened to the officials of the Jin State.
I don't know if the last translation is what the Russians want to say.
Behind the screen, Sun Kewang picked up the teacup, and just brought it to his mouth, after a burst of chatter outside, a few words of Chinese finally came in.
General Pashkov said that this war was the internal affairs of the Rakshasa State and had nothing to do with the Jin State, and it was extremely unreasonable for the Jin State to venture into the war. Now the Rakshasa agrees with the peace proposal of the Jin State, but the Jin State should return to the Syr Darya Valley, and the two sides return to the control area in the ninth year of Yongzhang, the beginning of 1656 AD, with the Aral Sea and the Turgai Plateau as the boundary, with the sphere of influence of the Jin State to the east and the territory of the Rakshasa to the west. ”
When Sun Kewang heard this, his brows furrowed, and the teacup that was sent to his mouth was put back on the table, and at this time, the voice outside continued: "In addition, the war reparations, Rakshasa cannot accept it, and the Jin Kingdom should release the prisoners of our army to show the sincerity of peace, but the Rakshasa is willing to give the Jin Kingdom a certain amount of money as the food expenses of the prisoners." ”
After the translation was completed, an official on the Jin side finally said with a cold face: "Your envoy's words are neither sincere nor polite. According to my understanding, your country was originally only a principality, and the Golden Horde already existed, and it was clearly a dispute between the two countries, how could it be the internal affairs of your Rakshasa country? There is no reason for the noble envoy to accuse me of Dajin, Yuzi is my Dajin ally, Mongolia also pays tribute to my Dajin country, your country infringes on my Dajin's interests, and it is reasonable for me Dajin to send troops! ”
At the foot of the tent, Chen Yanjing, the scribe of the Jin State who was in charge of the record, wrote hard to record the words of both sides.
The official who spoke was the chief envoy of the Anxi Palace, named Fang Yuxuan, who was Sun Kewang's confidant, and he had been instructed by Sun Kewang in advance to be tough on the Rakshasas, touch their hole cards, and explore why they suddenly agreed to peace talks.
At this time, Fang Yuxuan continued without giving in: "In addition, the conditions mentioned by the Rakshasa envoy are unacceptable to me, Dajin, Yuzi, and Mongolia, and the two sides should take the area under their current control as the boundary, and Russia must pay compensation to my Jin country. ”
After the translator finished speaking, the Russian beard suddenly became irritable and said a few words in Russian fiercely, but the interpreter did not translate, and his face was embarrassed, which was obviously not a good word.
Fang Yuxuan, who was sitting opposite, saw that his face was cold, he was still so arrogant to the defeated Rakshasa people, he was already displeased in his heart, and immediately looked at the interpreter, and said angrily, "You tell him, if you want to talk, you can talk, if you don't talk, get out, the official treats each other with reason, if he dares to be rude, let him get out and find someone who understands etiquette to talk." ”
The interpreter was embarrassed for a while, but seeing Fang Yuxuan's expression, he still turned it to the Russians, and the bearded man at the head suddenly turned red, but he did not leave his seat.
Seeing this, Fang Yuxuan sneered at the corner of his mouth, he already knew that the Rakshasa people's desire for peace was actually very urgent.
After hearing what he said outside, Sun Kewang brought the cup to his mouth again, but at this time, the monk suddenly entered the tent, and then walked straight behind the screen, saluted Wu Sangui and Sun Kewang, and then stepped forward and whispered a few words in Sun Kewang's ear.
Sun Kewang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he glanced up at the monk, who nodded, Sun Kewang groaned slightly, and then waved his hand to summon a guard, whispered a few words, and the guard walked out from behind the screen, bent down and whispered to Yu Xuan.
Fang Yuxuan was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he suddenly stood up, looked at the four Rakshasas opposite, and sneered: "The conditions of my Dajin have been explained, and the official and the Polish envoy want to meet, you should consider my Dajin's conditions, and we will talk about it another day." ”
After saying that, he didn't give the Russians time to react, so he stood up, and then left directly, several Russians saw them stand up, slightly stunned, and after listening to the translator's words, they suddenly stood up in amazement, but the officials of the Jin State had already left the table, and the four Russians could only look at each other, and they all panicked······
