576 Be good neighbors and never infringe(1/2)

(A new scene will be revealed soon, and the exciting continues)

He turned around and said, "Her Count, your army has really occupied such a large land?"

"Of course." Lian Zining pushed back without being hard or soft: "Or why don't you go and have a look?"

Kutuzov was shocked and realized that he was a little arrogant just now. In the words of the Ming people, he was in the current situation, and he was afraid to bow his head, and he could only bear any result. Being able to protect the current occupation was already considered an unexpected surprise.

In fact, the Jurchens did not have much demand for territory. After all, they occupied too large territory and too small population. Just like the Beishan Jurchen tribe, which is now occupied by the Russians, was only tens of thousands of people at its peak. Now they are even more killing, running away, or enslaved by the Russians. It is useless to bring back the territory, so why not exchange it for another bargaining chip?

Their main body is the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe. As long as these territories are not lost, some of their vitality will remain.

Lian Zining said: "This is the second point. Considering that it is not easy for you to fight, you will be given a piece of territory as compensation. How about it?"

"Oh?" Kutuzov was surprised when he heard this, and he said skeptically: "Where is it?"

"This location." Lian Zining walked to the front of the area and pointed to the northwest corner of the junction of the Jurchens and Russia with a wooden stick, which is the origin of the Ancient River, and the northernmost point of Tuluting Mountain. Lian Zining drew an oval circle on it, covering about a hundred miles of ground.

"This area is about 110 miles long and about 50 miles wide from north to south. It is an area with abundant water and grass, suitable for horse breeding." Lian Zining smiled and said, "From now on, it's yours."

"This place?" Kutuzov walked to the front of the map and watched it carefully, his face gradually became soothing. He had some impression of it. After the Russians came to the Far East, they began to collect large amounts of hydrology, mountains, and rivers, and made a precise map. He also knew it. The territory belonging to the Jurchens was a very rich grassland.

There is no reason to take advantage of it, and with this part as compensation, it is better to explain this time.

He bowed slightly without losing his demeanor: "Thank you, then."

Lian Zining smiled slightly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

But he had no good intentions at all.

You know, that place does belong to the Jurchens now, but it is only temporary. In fact, it is a focus area for the Jurchens to compete with the northern Mongolian tribes. Everyone wants such a grassland with abundant water and grass. It is even more important for the Mongols who live with water and grass. The Jurchens have the upper hand in the past two years, but you can imagine that once the Jurchens retreat, the Mongols will definitely make a comeback. At that time, it will naturally be easy to fight with the Russians! The Mongols are local snakes, but the Russians are not strong dragons. What is the result of this battle between the two sides. It is still unknown.

This decision was added later. The Jurchens are now in decline. The wisest way is to shrink their troops and manage their own Jianzhou Jurchen headquarters, and give up unnecessary places, but it is like a patient cutting off the poisonous sores on his body. It is a good thing. Giving this plump grassland can also allow the Mongols to restrain the Russians.

Under Lian Zining's persuasion, Wanyan Yeping also agreed to this condition very quickly. Lian Zining cut a twice as much land as this for the Jurchens on the southern line. There was no one on this land, and it was not a vital place. Wanyan Yeping wanted to arrive in this land, just to take advantage of the Khanate, and it seemed that the contract she signed was not so powerful and humiliating. Look, I have to come back in a lot! Of course, it also has to pay a price - the four giant cannons stolen from the Russians were sent to Lian Zining.

This is a good deal for both sides. Anyway, as long as Lian Zining defends the natural danger of Baiying Gorge, he can send troops to the north at any time, and he can get back any amount of money he loses. What's more, the current land area has spread to hundreds of miles north of Baiying Gorge.

Lian Zining walked slowly and said, "The third point is naturally to sign an agreement."

He smiled slightly: "Agree that the three of us will be peaceful forever, close to each other, and never violate it!"

As soon as Lian Zining said this, Kutuzov sneered in his heart, Nalan Ruojiang sneered in his heart, and even he himself sneered in his heart. Everyone present understood that hatred would never end here, but would become more and more intense, and in the end they could only end with the complete destruction of one side!

But, these beautiful words still have to be said.

Kutuzov stood up and said, "Your Excellency, you also know that I am not the commander of the army. I cannot make any decisions about this matter. I have to go back and discuss with our Governor to give you a reply."

"This is natural. However," Lian Zining's mouth slightly outlined a trace of arc: "I am waiting for you for one day. At this time tomorrow, if there is no clear news, I will withdraw my troops by myself."

Kutuzov took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, there will be a reply within a day!"

He walked out of the tent, walked to the door, and suddenly turned around and said, "General Nalan, we are negotiating with each other, why don't you speak?"

Outside of this, there was a bit of sow discord. Nalan Ruojiang was not fooled and said unambiguously: "We still have room for negotiation with the Wuyi Army, but we only have hatred with you, what's there to say?"

This sentence directly explains why the Jurchens took the initiative to contact Lian Zining to force the Russians to withdraw their troops, rather than contact the Russians to force Lian Zining to withdraw their troops. One of the reasons is that the Jurchens were split from the Ming Dynasty. It was impossible to kill the border residents of the Ming Dynasty. The two countries had been invincible for a long time. Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty launched a large-scale counterattack and carried out a massacre, they just took it for granted. What is there to say? The Russians are an out-of-the-box outsider, and bullying people when they come up, which is simply unbearable!

Secondly, although Lian Zining actually hurt the Jurchens more deeply, it was mostly concentrated in the Haixi Jurchen area, and the Jianzhou Jurchens were not affected by any consequences. However, the Russians were different. The Beishan Jurchens were easily defeated, which was equivalent to the Jianzhou Jurchens fighting directly with the Russians, so they suffered deeply, and the pain had already penetrated into their bones.

Kutuzov was silent for it.

———————

"This is the general process. Everyone, please tell me if you have any opinions!"

After Kutuzov finished speaking, he stepped aside.

The Russian Central Army tent was filled with generals, and all officers above major were here, hundreds of people gathered here. However, no one spoke, and the heavy breathing of hundreds of people gathered into sounds one after another.

The atmosphere of the big tent was extremely quiet.

No one expected that Kutuzov, who went to the Wuyi Army camp, would bring back such a shocking and angry news.

They had agreed to attack the Jurchens together, but they didn't expect that the damn Ming people would retreat privately. Of course, the excuses they made were impeccable. But everyone knew that this was just an excuse! If someone said it, you must believe it. There is nothing you can do if you don't believe it!

If it were more than ten days ago, when Wu Yi's army was powerful, they might have clamored to attack these traitorous guys, but now, not many people dare to say it.

That is a humiliation.

Zahrev's face was deadly, and deep in his heart was helpless, angry, and panic. He stared at the officers below with red eyes, and suddenly stood up. He roared: "Tell me, what is your decision? Fight, or retreat?"

The answer to him is silence.

The source of the army under Zakhrev is very complicated. His direct army accounts for less than a quarter. The others are almost always indirectly commanding, for example, if he wants to command Cossacks, he has to pass Yernik. If it were Zakhrev who had just set out from Nibchu, he would naturally raise his arms and followers gathered, but now it is different. With his successive defeats, his prestige has dropped sharply, and his control over the army has also declined greatly.

Of course, it is not absolute. There are a few young and energetic officers who are not aware of the interests of the people shouting loudly to defend the dignity of the empire and teach those damn Ming people a lesson! But this is a very small number, almost half of which can be occupied.

More importantly, several big men in the army did not make any statement. One was Yernik who controlled the Cossack cavalry, and the other was Kutuzov who held a cavalry army. Together, the two of them had almost half of their combat power!

Suddenly, Kutuzov sighed a long sigh, walked out, faced everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I am more inclined to talk to you personally."

Someone took the lead, and this statement immediately gained the support of many people. With loud shouts, the big tent suddenly turned into a vegetable market.

Kutuzov pressed down with his hands, and after he calmed down in the tent, he said, "You should have heard clearly what I mentioned just now. We not only occupied the land we now, but also obtained an additional piece of grassland that is so beautiful that you can also obtain a long coastline leading to the eastern seaside. Although we did not achieve the best goal, it was also considered an initial goal. This result is still acceptable."

"And, I want to emphasize one thing!" Kutuzov suddenly raised his voice: "Although we have losses, we have not yet reached the point of injury. After we retreat, we will rest for a few months, continue to expand our troops, train our soldiers, and get weapon support from Moscow. Our strength will further grow. When we clear out the borers in the rear and kill all the forces that dare to resist us, when the damn winter is over and the ice and snow melt, we will come back! It's like you want to hit someone, you have to take your fists back, and accumulate enough strength to hit heavier! This is the same reason for our temporary retreat!"

Kutuzov looked tough and raised his arms and shouted: "The Russian Empire will never fail. When we come next time, we will definitely defeat these damn barbarians!"

I have to admit that he is indeed an excellent general and an excellent speaker. His language is very contagious and he really makes sense. This time, he mobilized the morale of these dejected Russian officers in the tent. I don’t know who took the lead, and everyone shouted: “We have not failed, we will never fail!”

Eventually, it turned into a shout of hundreds of people!

This is not simple self-hypnosis and paralysis, but real determination to make a comeback.

This is like a basketball game. When a team was suppressed for the whole game and when they reached the fourth quarter, they were behind in the scores. Naturally, they were completely energetic and all, and they just wanted to end the game as soon as possible and go home to take a shower and go to bed. But this does not mean that they can't play well in the next game!

What's more, compared to the Jurchens, the overall strength of the Russians is actually stronger.

Temporary retreat may not be a disadvantage.

Zahrev's face was ashes, his body became weak, and he collapsed on his seat.

He knew that he was finished, not only this war, but also his future!

He suddenly felt dizzy in his head, nausea in his chest, sweet in his throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, making his whole body soft.

"Governor General..."

"Governor General..."

It seemed like he heard a burst of panic cry.

But there seemed to be countless white lights in front of me, and then I didn't know the situation.

On the 13th day of the 12th lunar month of the 52nd year of Zhengde, the Wuyi Army, the Great Jin Kingdom, and the Russian Empire signed an agreement at 50 miles from Hengu Henan.

Wuyi's army got you from Henan. The southeast line of Hen Gu River extends to all areas in the southern part of the sea, including the entire Songhua River Basin, the estuary of the Songhua River, the former capital of Nuergandus, and even the Kuyi Island, which was included.

From now on the signing of the agreement, the Jurchens will pay 20,000 taels of silver, 8,000 taels of gold, 1,000 good horses, and a hu of high-quality beads to Wu Yi's army every month!

At the same time, the Jin Kingdom also sent envoys to express their respect for the Ming Dynasty.

The Russians also withdrew their troops as compensation. The Jurchens do not take back the land they occupy now, and they also ceded the beautiful pastures on the northern foot of the Tuluting Mountain to the Russian side.

The Russian side also put forward the only condition - the release of Pushkin.

Wanyan Yeping naturally would not be petty about such minor details, and she agreed very quickly.

Afterwards, the three conveniences signed their own names on the agreement written in Russian, Jurchen and Chinese, and pressed a bright red seal. They kept them in triplicate.

For this, the tripartite agreement was successfully reached.

Since then, we will be close to our neighbors forever, be close to our friendship, and never conquer us again!

This tripartite agreement is undoubtedly the biggest winner. It is hard to say that the Wuyi Army is naturally the biggest winner. It is open to saying that it has created a broad depth space for itself, and it has solved the great troubles that have been bothering in front of it for a long time, allowing it to free up its hands to use its strength in other directions. Of course, there is another considerable gain, which is to turn the Russians and the Jurchens into a pair of extremely hostile life and death enemies. This hatred can only be truly resolved until one side has perished!

The Jurchens, who seemed to be hit by the north and south, suffered heavy losses, are the biggest losers, and in fact, this is not the case. Although the Jurchens lost seven out of ten territory, they lost all the wild forests. Although they were rich, they were deserted, and their main body was still there and their vitality was not seriously damaged. Instead, because the territory was smaller, there were fewer places to defend, and the dispatch of troops became more swift and calmer. If the Jurchens before were a large and soft piece of scrap iron covered with fine honeycombs, then even though one piece became smaller, it was an extremely hard steel ingot!

Anyone who wants to take a bite must be prepared to get rid of a bite of steel teeth and mouth full of blood!

In fact, the Russians who mobilized troops to carry out the southern expedition, but in the end they made almost no progress were the biggest losers. This battle had consumed all the wealth they had accumulated since they occupied East and West Siberia. Moreover, since their power was used to fight on the southern front, the large bases in the rear could be said to be in a mess, and a few other small strongholds were left except for Nebchu. It can be imagined that it took another lot of trouble to calm down after returning.

After signing the agreement, the mission this time was completed, and Wu Yijun had no reason to nostalgia here.

On the second day, the Wuyi army set up camp and camp. More than 100,000 troops were like an extremely majestic red dragon, shaking their heads and tails toward the south of this dragon-walking land.

The Russians did not dare to stay for too long. As soon as Wu Yi's army left, they were afraid that the Jurchens would not be trustworthy, so they turned around and attacked again, so they quickly withdrew.

But in one day, you can walk cleanly.

The sun sets and the night is not rising. Wanyan Yeping stands in front of her camp gate, looking at the sky south.

In the Jurchen camp, there was a burst of laughter and joy, singing and dancing. When the soldiers heard that the Russians and Wu Yi army had retreated, they all shouted long live, and were so excited that they could not help themselves. The worries and boredom in their hearts had already overwhelmed the blood and desire for killing that a soldier should have. At this moment, they all relaxed, lit a huge bonfire in the camp, singing and dancing around the bonfire, as if they had won a huge victory.

The camp was filled with a festive atmosphere. Wanyan Yeping also ordered the only remaining wine and meat in the army to reward the soldiers, and said that she would return to Beijing early tomorrow morning and would be able to reunite with her family soon.

But there was no smile on her face and eyes.

"Wait, Wu Yi Army, Lian Zining, today you force my Great Jin Kingdom to fall into such a situation. Sooner or later, I will take back the capital and interest!"

Behind her, Nalan Ruojiang was also tiptoing toward the south, as if looking for the last trace of Wu Yi's army. However, it was destined to be futile.

She sighed quietly, feeling lost.
