Chapter VIII: Ignatyev's Ambition

From the perspective of those who understand the situation, Naignatiyev can be regarded as a teenager -as a special envoy of Rusia, he was born in 1832 that he was only 26 years old this year.

The trust of the Cascian Emperor Nicholas I was trustworthy. Even when he was born, he was baptized by the emperor Alexander II today.

However, as a special envoy of Lu, he is not unreasonable:

The defeat of Rasia during the Crimean war, which caused the emperor and the empire to be damaged and the domestic public opinion was boiling. Not only did the new and old factions in the court endlessly fighting, but even the wave of innovation in the people also became one after another.

This is not to be suppressed by the iron wrist -in the Crimean Peninsula and the Europa collar area. The prices are soaring and the supply is scarce.

The only solution can only be a large number of banknotes, but this further pushes the inflation. Life is difficult, and excessive suppression can only lead to a greater rebound.

And Naignateev was ordered to be in danger in this case. The emperor Alexander II asked him, "flexible, decisively dealt with the oriental issue, and re -erected the prestige of the empire in the world to inspire and confidence in the empire leaders.

. ""

But the strong words cannot replenish strength -although the Crimean war has ended for more than two years, the economic and military trend of the empire is still under reconstruction, so the only support he received was eight warships, and the three of them were still there were still currently.

It was destroyed by Fuso in 1857.

Thinking of this, Naigna Tyev's pupils have shrunk involuntarily. Who can think that since the entire army of the Black Sea Fleet has gone throughout the army, the empire has fallen from the position of the Oroba's strong country to such a dangerous point:

Before the Crimean war, the Empire had two major and one small fleet, the Baltic fleet, the Black Sea Fleet and the Ekhotsk District Fleet.

Putting off the weak Ehotz district fleet is not faded, and the other two fleets are very powerful. They can be called the pearl of the empire.

The Black Sea Fleet used to have 4 120 guns, 12 84 artillery ships, 4 60 gun cruisers, and a large number of auxiliary warfares. In the Baltic Sea, there were as many as 27 ships of the Empire Light Battleship!

However, now the Black Sea Fleet has become Yellow Flowers yesterday. The main ship is lost in the battle and is still being reconstructed. Although the Baltic fleet has not lost great losses, the proportion of steam ships is too small. According to the experience in the war, combat power

Worry.

The change of the empire water army is ongoing, but because of the shallow time and the resistance of the stubborn guys at the high position, there is no fundamental change.

But the fundamental reason for changing is still no money!

Thinking of this, my nail tingling hurts Ignatiev, and he remembered the fierce debate in the former court:

Although he has stepped down as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the two Noshello Jie of the position has been in the power of 36 years, and the party feathers for support are indispensable. Therefore, even if Nosherlo Jie, who is a foreign affairs officer, does not speak, his men are men.

Many Germanic foreign affairs officers can still control the situation.

"The barren Amur River Basin is a difficult burden on defense.

Alaska has been sold to the British people, so the expansion and continuing investment in the Far East are undoubtedly very dangerous.

The empire's limited treasury should give priority to its loyal people and should not be thrown into risks."

"Don't cross the river if you don't know the depth of the water."

"The City of a Thousand Tops was destroyed by a small candle. The British have just obtained Alaska. The empire's adventure in the Far East will undoubtedly stimulate the British and cause unnecessary risks."

The great failure of the Crimean War not only caused very serious financial problems, but also caused many ministers and nobles to lose confidence. They all opposed continued expansion in the Far East - at least not in the near future.

And the previous lessons were too painful:

Muravyov is the first governor-general to die in battle in the empire in recent decades, and the two regions under his command, Eastern Siberia, Kamchatka Peninsula and Irkutsk, have been killed according to local bureaucrats.

After returning to the state of a hundred years ago, "rebellions continued, and fishing, hunting and food cultivation were no longer sustainable."

The thing is, as early as 1854, after the Okhotsk District Fleet was completely annihilated, coupled with the loss of a large number of merchant ships and fishing grounds, the coastal territories were basically in a state of isolation.

But what's even more terrible is that the Cossack cavalry, which used to be the main force in countering the rebellion, has now become the backbone of the rebellion. In the past three years, it has enslaved a large number of deportees and continuously attacked various settlements, causing Lucian immigrants to flee the area one after another.

The previous high pressure and cruelty now showed harsh results. The rebels fought bravely and would rather die than surrender.

The two thousand regular troops mobilized to overcome the inconvenience of transportation were of no avail. The newly arrived Cossack cavalry secretly colluded with their compatriots, completely failing to do their job; and because of their backward mobility, the infantry was unable to gather to annihilate the rebels.

After three years, except for Petropavlovsk, only Okhotsk and Ayan managed to restore order, while other areas became lawless areas.

Fortunately, the harsh environment in Eastern Siberia was uniform. Now the rebels could no longer hold on. Starting from the spring of 1858, they had to either flee northward or accept recruitment.

Under the tolerant policies of Pujiatin, the newly appointed governor of Irkutsk and Eastern Siberia in 1857, order finally began to be restored in Eastern Siberia.

However, after wars and rebellions, the original population of 100,000 was reduced to only tens of thousands; food imports relied heavily on external imports; the finances had long since collapsed, and they all relied on the support of St. Petersburg.

Ignatiev left Europe in October 1856. At that time, no one expected that the situation in Eastern Siberia would be so serious.

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "If this had been expected earlier, the outcome of the palace meeting would have been even more unfavorable."

At that time, most of the nobles were unwilling to take risks just after the war ended, but fortunately the new Minister of Foreign Affairs Gorchakov stood up:

"There is no rose without thorns. Besides, you can't pick up mushrooms without bending down."

Gorchakov believes that "since the empire will return to the world stage sooner or later, it is okay to find another way out of Europe and in the Far East. After all, its opponents are much weaker than countries such as Britain and France."

However, Gorchakov also agreed that "not to overly stimulate the English", so the main purpose of the mission was to "flexibly seek space for the empire in the east."

In April 1857, when Ignatiev arrived in Xiangjiang, he was delighted to find that the British and the Tang people were already at war.

Sure enough, after showing that Rusia did not have the intention to join forces with the Tang Dynasty, the hostility of the British was greatly reduced.

Then he took the banner of mediation everywhere, and he was with the Mi people's envoy Lian Lian around the source, and eventually got a lot of benefits in the "Yaro War" -except that there was no defeat for compensation, Rumi was in 1858 "Jinjin Jinjin" Jinjin Jinjin in 1858

The interests obtained in the Gate Treaty are generally the same as the British and Buddha.

But the disadvantage of the United States is that the British people still have a certain degree of vigilance in Rusia. They actually listed the temples of the Amur estuary as one of the six major business ports. You know, the Tang Dynasty temples are the Empire's Nicholaevsk whistle.

This is the place named after the name of the late Emperor Nicholas I!

Under his own persuasion, Ying Gelet still refused to relax, and even satirized himself in front of Lian Weilian and Fransey Special envoy Giros. "When we are weak, the bears in the north still do not forget to stare at staring at it.

Other people's prey. Even after being given a certain food, it remains still greedy! "

Hate, because the "North Pacific and the Chinese Sea Adventure Survey Fleet" participated in the transportation of the Kanca Military situation, and the Mi people who were warned by British Geely refused to publicize themselves, and the Ferland people fell to British Geely.

It is difficult to enter the lonely palm.

When I saw the situation, I had to give up at that time, and even the right of the middle and lower reaches of the Amur River was shared -anyway, it was generous, and it did not harm Rucia's interests. And the distant east is deserted, presumably other countries have not been able to pay much attention to this place.

, Waiting for a long time, here

It will inevitably fall into Rucia's control.

Thinking of this, Igna Tyev was dissatisfied with the Empire's Westbesti Governor Puja Ting -he had already sent a letter to ask Pujetin to take a decisive action, while taking advantage of the good opportunity of the Arao war to raise

The heavy soldiers put pressure on the Tang people in the middle and lower reaches of the Amur River, so as to cooperate with their own foreign affairs operations, so as to fish hard.

However, the guy who caused the Fleet of the Ehotsk District to be overwhelmed by the loss of valuable courage in lonely. What actually said, "This will inevitably cause interference in the British and Buddhist coalition forces!"

It is really a shame of the empire! Compared with the governor Mulavirov, who is dead, this person is completely worthy of the position of the Governor of the Empire.

If Putin knows Igna Tyev's thoughts, he will definitely scoff -Moravyov will lose a lot of gold, you must know that this is only what the nobles can get it in Alaska.

If you die, you will not be peaceful. If the emperor is not the confidant of the emperor Alexander II, the Moravyev family will not even be in his hands.

Anyway, Polijutin is not ready to take risks. Under the clear order of St. Petersburg, no one can let him send troops! ——As under the influence of the butterfly of the straight show, the development of the Far East is becoming more and more weird.

Nonetheless, Igna Tyev thought that the task he was made is still good, and he got the agreement by the Tang people without spending a soldier and one soldier, which fully proved that he was superb.

However, he never expected that he would lose his hands in Fuso.

There is no stabbing rose, but this time the flower was not taken, but it was almost stabbed -this small country that was considered the country dared to resist the requirements of the empire!

But who can know that Fuso's closed and backward country actually knows the "Public Law of the World"!

Under the defense of Rising Show, the envoys of the two countries who were favored by their own favors actually changed their attitudes.

In fact, Iignateev also knows that the root is not here. Even if the Fuson people say it is better, if Ergin and Harris firmly supports himself, there will be no adverse changes.

However, the problem is that the incident that it requires Fusang to cut the big island in the north has triggered the vigilance of Erging. The British feel that Rusia still seeks to expand in the North Pacific, which is undoubtedly not in line with the marine strategy that has always been adhered to -will Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu, the will -will be Lu Lu -will be Lu Lu.

West Asia closed becomes an offshore country.

As for the Mi Ren Harris, he also hinted that he did not want the lion.

In fact, Harris means Igna Tyev understands, saying plainly, just don't grab his limelight:

If you do n’t take a soldier, you can oppress the Fusang business. In this regard, Harris is undoubtedly the pinnacle of foreign bureaucrats. But if he cuts up a big island, it will undoubtedly have a much worse achievement in Harris.

But this is really wronged!

In fact, the proposal to cut Oshima is just your own means.

The so -called required price to pay the money on the spot, not all foreign affairs officers do so!

However, although I have repeatedly explained that the cutting ground is just a strategy of negotiations, the attitude of the two parties in Britain has changed.

The defeat at the Coordination Association provides an excuse. The special envoys of Yingmi have achieved a consensus on this issue, that is, "suppressing Rusia, don't destroy today's great situation"!

Iignateev was keenly aware of this, so he immediately applied for a break and prepared to use the traditional method of the empire -force to solve this problem.

The Battle of the Box Museum proves that his eyes are accurate, and the Fusang's army is unbearable. The defeat of the water army in 1857 was just a big deal.

Ignatiev believes:

"As long as the Empire Water Army is fighting in accordance with the regulations, the victory is available at hand.

After the occupation of the white owner, he will return to the Edo by himself.
