Hearing Zhao Xin's proposal, Orlov nodded and said, "I agree completely, so I ask our side to explain it first."

So the mother Earl of Gold stood up, opened a red leather folder, and began to read aloud, and Agafonov translated in Beijing Mandarin.

"According to the orders and authorization of Her Majesty Queen Caterina II Alexeyevna, I would like to propose the following clauses to you as a representative of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Tsarist Russian Empire..."

The demands of Tsarist Russia are generally three points: First, the two sides cease to fight, the Northern Navy retreated to the east of Nebchu and south of the Chaktu River, and the two sides returned to the dividing line with the Erguna River; Second, all Russian prisoners of war were released; Third, compensation was given to the damaged towns and civilian lives and property, with a total amount of 10 million rubles.

How do you say something? A cooked duck has a hard mouth.

Orlov kept carefully observing his opponent's expression when his mother Earl Gold spoke. He found that the expression on the face of the "His Royal Highness Zhao" was very calm, and there was no trace of contempt or anger. Every time he heard Agafonov's translation, he nodded, looking very well-educated.

However, he knew very well that the man in front of him had personally ordered the chopping of one of the hands of Count Jacquesby as a punishment for inciting him to invade the Amur River Basin.

The young officers sitting on both sides of Zhao Xin all looked serious and expressionless, but their true attitude was revealed by the corners of their mouths that occasionally raised their mouths. Orlov understood that it was naked contempt. He did not find it strange at all. If the status of both sides was exchanged, he might be even more proud at this moment.

As a former military general, Orlov carefully observed the Northern Navy on the street when he entered the city and stayed yesterday; he concluded that this was a group of extremely well-trained soldiers. The unified military uniform, excellent weapons, short and powerful commands, and their pace and posture when standing guard and patrolling made Orlov believe that these people were definitely the elite of the elite, and were no less than the Queen's Guards.

He didn't think the Northern Navy was pretending, because this just showed how a unit with only more than 10,000 people defeated Rumentsev's army.

"We all understand your meaning. Now I will propose a ceasefire condition to you on behalf of the Northern Navy..."

After the mother Earl Jin finished speaking, Sheng Haizhou, who was the acting chief of staff of the North Navy, got up, held a folder, and then started reading. In order to let the translator Agafonov hear clearly and translate truthfully, Sheng Haizhou's speech speed was not fast.

The attitude of the Northern Navy was that the Tsarist Russian Empire was the first to invade, and the Northern Navy defended its inherent territory. Secondly, the Northern Navy pushed the border to the Yenisei River as an established fact formed through two wars. Regarding the issue of releasing prisoners of war, Sheng Haizhou pointed out that Tsarist Russia needed to pay compensation, with a total amount of 20 million rubles, and this money would be used to compensate the Daur tribes killed along the Amur River.

"It's ridiculous! Now you are invading our territory!" Everyone in the Tsarist Russian mission looked very ugly, and they showed an indignant expression. The mother Earl Jin even slapped the table.

"Gentlemen, this is like the war between you and the Turks. Are you willing to withdraw from the Crimea and Georgia?"

Orlov shook his head and said, "This is different. The Crimean Khanate was originally a vassal state of the Tsarist Russian Empire. We sent troops to resist the Turks to help Shahiin Khan. As for Georgia, we were to protect its territorial integrity and religious beliefs."

"If you have to say that," Zhao Xin laughed twice, then spread his hands and said, "Siberia is also China's inherent territory."

Orlov laughed without anger: "Oh? What evidence do you have?"

Zhao Xin did not intend to mention the Golden Horde, and it had no meaning at all. He smiled and said, "From the Yenisei River to Baikal, and then to the Lena River, these place names are either Ewenki or Mongolian. Isn't this the most powerful evidence? Dear Count, China has many ethnic groups, whether it is Ewenki or Buryat Mongolians, they are all part of China. The more than a hundred years of expansion from west to east, it was the period when China weakened its national strength due to war and had no time to look north."

Orlov shook his head and said, "Your Highness, what you said is just proof that these lands are the territory of the Tatars and have nothing to do with China."

"Oh? Don't forget that those you call Buryats are actually Mongols. I think the Tushetukhan of Khalkha has a great say in this."

The mother Earl Jin felt that there was a loophole in Zhao Xin's words, so he said: "As far as we know, whether it is the Khalkha Mongols or the Tushetu Khan tribe, they are all people of the Qing Empire. Regarding the Buryats and the borders between the two sides, our country has made clear the "Nerchensk Treaty", "Brenschi Treaty", "Abahayitu Realm Treaty" and "Selenge'e Realm Treaty" signed with China! If you don't mind, I hope to invite representatives from the Qing Dynasty to participate in this negotiation."

Zhao Xin knew that the other party wanted to muddle the water. The treaties he mentioned were actually just regulating the border, fugitive and trade issues, and did not involve the Buryats.

What's more, in the Kangxi and Yongzheng eras, they were eager to help solve the problem of the northern border because they had to deal with the problem of Junggar. Therefore, Russia facilitated the combination of negotiation and threat of force, forcing the Qing government to make concessions and invaded a large piece of Chinese territory in the northern part of the Tangu Ulianghai through the Treaty of Brenschi.

He sneered: "Earl, let's not talk about whether I agree to let the Qing Dynasty join the negotiations. Do you think they dare to come?"

The mother gold Count was silent. The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Tsarist Russian Senate confirmed from many news from Khalkha Mongolia and Central Asia that the Qing Dynasty had fought with the Northern Navy many times over the years, and it was just four words back and forth, and it was defeated.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is so damn! How dare these guys who call themselves "Seris" go to war with the two empires at the same time?! How many troops do they have?

The first day of talks ended in the process of "setting the tone" between the two sides.

Negotiations between countries have always been like this. No one will put themselves in the position of the weak as soon as they start. The lion speaks loudly and asks for a lot of prices are the first thing to do. In the negotiation process, in addition to adhering to the core principles, they will also involve some other clauses, so that there is room for bargaining. Then, through repeated negotiations, they will determine the other party's bottom line, exchange interests, and finally achieve the purpose of the negotiation.

The kind of thing that slams the table and slaps your teeth and claws as soon as you come up and shouts that you can beat me is all funny. You can't get it on the battlefield, and you can't get it on the negotiating table. Beihai Town, as the winner, doesn't need to do this.

So after both sides revealed their bottom line and failed to negotiate, they began to argue against the long border affairs. For example, whether criminals on both sides want to be extradited, how to extradite? Should border trade be done, how to do it, where is the trading point? etc.

For Beihai Town, the goal has been achieved by hitting the Yenisei River. What remains is to strengthen military combat preparations, defend this line of defense, and then secretly support the "Cossack Emirates".

As for the Tsarist Russian Empire, they had to wait until the war with the Turks were over before they could free up. In addition to wanting to find out the details of their opponents through negotiations, Orlov and others also had to prevent the North Navy from continuing to expand westward through negotiations before the next war.

The negotiations between Beihai Town and the Tsarist Russian Empire started on February 5, 1791, and lasted for more than a month, and it ended until March 10. Zhao Xin only showed up on the first and last days, and handed over the middle to Sheng Haizhou, Li Rui and others. During this period, the two sides had a disagreement and parted ways. It was common for the Russian representatives to slap the table and roll up their sleeves. It was also common for everyone to drink vodka and chat about family matters.

Although Zhao Xin did not participate in the full negotiations, he has always controlled the pace of negotiations behind his back.

At the same time, another negotiation was also quietly taking place, and both sides of the negotiation were representatives of Fan Tong and Tushetu Khanchedendorji of the North Navy.

After more than half a year of consideration, especially after learning that the Northern Navy had driven Tsarist Russia to the west of the Yenisei River, Tushetukhan, who was deeply afraid of the strength of the Northern Navy, decided to let his son Eydobdorji represent him to come to the Bushangcheng and Fan Tong to have formal contact. The two sides communicated on many aspects such as the future status of the Khalkha Mongolia and the issue of the Tserbzundanba.

However, due to the principle differences between the two sides in seeking goals, this is a resultless negotiation. Not to mention that it is a time-consuming process, even Cheddorji himself is useless.

For example, Cheddorji was not only a Khan, but actually a leader of the alliance with the title of Prince Heshuo. Before the 45th year of Qianlong, the leader of the alliance had no real power. They were only responsible for convening and presiding the alliance. The real management power of all matters within the alliance fell into the hands of the general stationed in Ulya Sutai, the left deputy general stationed in Dingbian, and reported to the Liaison Court for verification.

After the 45th year of Qianlong's reign, the power of the league leader to handle affairs increased. Generally, the flag-keeping duties did not need to report to the left deputy general of Dingbian, but only needed to report to the Lifan Academy. The left deputy general of Dingbian was just a supervisor.

However, Eydobdorji suggested to Fan Tong that his father not only wanted to continue to retain the title and treatment of Prince Heshuo, but also wanted to further restore the power of Khan - that is, to withdraw the ministry and people from the alliance banner organization.

Are you kidding? Do you really treat Beihai Town as a fool?

After staying in Chaktu for several years, Fan Tong had already gained a comprehensive understanding of the situation of the various tribes in Outer Mongolia by winning over the Shanxi merchant groups in the city. He knew that Cheddorji and his son wanted to restore the transcendent status of the Khan of the past, and decisively refused.

In fact, in the issue of governance in Outer Mongolia, except for the "forced levy of people according to the number of arrows", the Manchu Qing Dynasty made the people's life in a rigorous and effective manner.

Fan Tong told Eydobdorji that after the Northern Navy entered Khalkha Mongolia, the "Nine White Tribute" would be exempted from the annual "Nine White Tribute", and at the same time, the service system imposed on various Outer Mongolia ministries in the Qing Dynasty would be abolished, and the debts arising from the various ministries due to the archery and silver were exempted from the debts caused by the archery and silver. In addition, the alliance flag system would definitely be retained, but there would be some changes.

Eydobdorji didn't care much about the "Nine White Tribute". He could get rid of his heart by avoiding the service. He was happy and asked again: "How can the Alliance Flag be changed?"

"Administrative offices are established at the league level, and the chief officer is called a specialist. A county government is established at the first level of the banner. Zasak has been abolished and changed to a county magistrate."

"What?!" Edobdoreji's face changed after hearing this, and he almost jumped up and asked, "How about asking those Taijibele?"

Fan Tong smiled and said, "In the future, if Taiji people from each banner want to enter the county government, they must go to Beihai Town to study for one year and be familiar with the management system and means. The county magistrates are rotated every three years and are selected publicly, and their hereditary positions will be cancelled."

"You and you and Ama come to contact us on their own initiative. This sincerity and attitude are worthy of recognition. According to Zhao Xin, oh no, King Zhao means, you can leave him the position of Deputy Governor of Mobei Province to assist the Governor in managing Khalkha affairs. Considering that your Ama is old, if you want to take over, you have to go to Beihai Town to study for two years."

"Studying? What does this mean? It's just like going to Beijing to meet Mr. Qianlong?"

"No, study. The system and governance methods of Beihai Town are completely different from those of the Qing Dynasty. As a manager, you must first learn."

Eyedobdorji's face turned dark after hearing this, and he thought to himself that he still had to read books in his thirties. Isn't it good to have time to drink and eat meat?

Although he didn't understand what the official position of "Deputy Governor" was, there was another "Governor" above who understood it. Stop talking, it must be just a decoration. This made his originally passionate thoughts suddenly become cold, and he thought to himself that it would be better to continue kowtow to Mr. Qianlong!

As for the conditions of Beihai Town, let alone the father and son cannot agree, the Taiji people from each banner will not agree to the kill. Zazak can no longer be the case, and there will be an extra "county government" of Luo Shi. Let's not talk about it. Beihai Town is going to take all the flag affairs in its hands.

The most important thing is that the honor and decency of "hereditary" are gone, so how can we continue to be superior to others in the future? This is not a restructuring, it is to dig the roots of princes and nobles!

At this moment, Edobdordorji had no intention of talking anymore. However, before saying goodbye, he asked Fan Tong to approve the notes and ran to the Beihai Trading Company to buy a lot of cigarettes and high-alcohol. In his opinion, although the Beihai Army was not an item, the things they sold were really good.

......

"Without the servants and exempting those tens of thousands of taels of silver from debts is a matter of duty in the new dynasty. But they still have to set up a yamen on the alliance flag and directly intervene in the flag business, which is simply too much!"

A few days later, the cunning Chedendorji listened to his son's complaints and didn't speak for a long time. He knew that his plan had failed. The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty just seized his power, while Beihai Town wanted to dig his roots.

What a high-ranking official is a fool! Without hereditary and unswerving, the Golden Family will not even be as good as the soil on the grassland.
