Although Gersi did not take the Qing Dynasty to heart, he still telegraphed the contents of the note back to China, asking for guidance from the country on whether to negotiate with the Qing Dynasty.
Gersi did not know the war situation in the Northeast, but St. Petersburg had some understanding of the war situation.
Because judging from the telegram sent back some time ago, the war situation in the Northeast puts their side of the Rakshasa Kingdom at a disadvantage.
Although the telegrams were suddenly interrupted in recent days, they were still able to analyze from the previous battle situation that if no measures were taken, the soldiers on the front line would be in danger.
Therefore, St. Petersburg considered its request and negotiated with the Qing government led by Liu Hai in Gersi, the capital.
Their main purpose for this negotiation was to get information from the negotiation and to know the current situation of the Rakshasa Army in the northeast.
On the other hand, if the war is unfavorable to them, they can hope to obtain benefits at the negotiation table that cannot be obtained by war.
Just like that, on the second day, the telegram was delivered to the Rakshasa State Legation in Dongjiaomin Lane.
Gersi Fortification was also very surprised after receiving the telegram from China.
He did not expect that the country would agree to negotiate, but he also felt from the wording of this telegram that the war situation in Northeast China might not be as smooth as he imagined.
Gersi sat in the office holding the telegram, thinking about it, and finally decided to start negotiations immediately.
Therefore, in the afternoon of the same day, Gersi sent diplomats to the Prime Minister's Yamen and informed Zhao Chuanren that negotiations would be held on the second day, and the location would be the Prime Minister's Yamen.
After receiving Gersi's reply, Zhao Chuanren immediately packed up a spacious room in the Prime Minister's Yamen and arranged it as a negotiation venue.
On the second day, Gersi arrived at the Prime Minister's Yamen early with his entourage.
Beside Gersi, in addition to his entourage, there was Bi Sheng, Minister of Lanxi Kingdom.
It turns out that during this period, the Rakshasa State and France formed an alliance because they jointly fought against the threat of the Will State.
Therefore, in the matter of the marriage relationship, Minister Gersi of the Rakshasa Kingdom also brought the Minister of the Lanxi Kingdom to participate in the negotiations with the New Kingdom as his partner.
Zhao Chuanren, who came out to greet him, immediately dropped his face when he saw Lanxi's offensive.
"What's going on, Sir Gersi? Today's negotiation is between you and me. Why is the Minister of Lanxi here?"
Gersi smiled and replied: "As a staunch ally of our Rakshasa Kingdom, Lanxi Country will adopt a common foreign policy on some matters. Therefore, in this round of negotiations, Lanxi Country, as a staunch ally of Rakshasa Country, has
The right to know the content of its negotiations."
After hearing this, Zhao Chuanren sneered: "I didn't expect that Tsarist Russia, one of the great powers, would go so far as to recruit allies to embolden them."
Bi Sheng stood beside him, unable to listen any longer, "Mr. Zhao, although this is your negotiation with the Rakshasa Kingdom, this matter is also related to the interests of the great powers in the Qing Dynasty, so I listened on the sidelines. It was completely
Diplomatic etiquette."
Zhao Chuanren felt a little angry when he heard this. It seemed that if he didn't give them some color, the other party didn't know that the Qing Dynasty was no longer the weak old empire that the Empress Dowager Cixi was in charge of back then.
"If this is the case, then there is no need to continue the negotiations and let the Rakshasa soldiers in the northeast fend for themselves."
After Zhao Chuanren finished speaking, he ignored the two ministers outside the door and entered the Prime Minister's Yamen with a flick of his sleeves.
Although Zhao Chuanren left, the words he just said before leaving were very informative.
Bi Sheng, the minister of Lanxi Kingdom, also thought about it in his mind. It seemed that the Rakshasa Kingdom had suffered a defeat in the northeast, which made the minister of Lanxi Kingdom feel a little uneasy.
Because the purpose of the alliance between Lanxi State and Rakshasa State is to attack the Will State from both the east and west.
If the Rakshasa Kingdom focuses its attention on the Far East this time because of its defeat in the Far East, it will be very disadvantageous for the Lanxi Kingdom.
Therefore, the Minister of France rolled his eyes, hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Chuanren's sleeve and said: "Mr. Zhao, there is no need to be so angry. France can completely act as a neutral country to mediate the conflict between the Qing Dynasty and the Rakshasa Kingdom."
After Zhao Chuanren heard the words of Minister Lanxi, his steps slowed down.
When the Minister of Lanxi State saw that Zhao Chuanren's expression had softened, he immediately whispered in Zhao Chuanren's ear: "Mr. Zhao, the Lanxi State government also hopes that your country and the Rakshasa State will end the conflict as soon as possible. If Lanxi State participates in the mediation later,
, the Lanxi Government will urge the Rakshasa Kingdom to withdraw its troops as soon as possible."
Zhao Chuanren looked at Lanxi Minister Bi Sheng up and down, and finally nodded slowly, "I hope sir can remember what you said, otherwise I can end the negotiation at any time."
"Mr. Zhao, Lanxi is a country that pays attention to credibility. You will not be disappointed."
Zhao Chuanren made concessions here and agreed to the participation of the Lanxi people in the negotiations, which made the Rakshasa Kingdom's fortifications very happy. Although the Rakshasa Kingdom's minister did not know what the Lanxi people said to Zhao Chuanren, he was very confident that the Rakshasa Kingdom
Alliance relationship with Lanxi.
In this way, the representatives of the three parties arrived at the negotiation venue arranged by the Prime Minister's Yamen and took their seats.
Seeing that both parties were ready, Zhao Chuanren spoke first and said: "I am here to inform you of a piece of news."
"After a arduous war, our country finally completely defeated the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom that invaded our country a few days ago. Now the defeated soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom have fled north."
After hearing this, the minister of Rakshasa Kingdom, Gersi, stood up from his seat in surprise.
Although the Rakshasa Kingdom's minister knew through domestic channels that the Rakshasa Kingdom's army was at a disadvantage in the Northeast before the negotiations, he never expected that the Rakshasa Kingdom's army would be defeated by the barbarians from the Far East.
"This is impossible. The great Rakshasa army will never fail. Don't be alarmist or deceive us here."
After hearing this, Zhao Chuanren sneered, and then he clapped his hands.
Immediately outside the door, a waiter came in with a wooden plate in his hand.
Zhao Chuanren took a few steps forward and came to the attendant's side, took the wooden plate and then turned around and placed the wooden plate on the negotiation table.
"Gentlemen, this is the military uniform of General Dmitry, the commander of the Far East of the Rakshasa Kingdom."
Having said this, Zhao Chuanren added: "This commander unfortunately died on the battlefield in the Far East. I would like to express my deepest condolences here."
After listening to these words, Gersi felt a little trembling all over his body. Then he opened the white cloth on the wooden tray with a lot of words. Sure enough, there was a very tattered Tsarist Russian general's uniform on it.
As soon as Gersi saw this situation, he sat weakly on his seat.
Originally, before the negotiation, he had already made the worst plan that the Rakshasa army would be at a disadvantage or even be surrounded.
But now it seems that the situation on the battlefield is happening faster than he expected.
When Zhao Chuanren saw the Rakshasa Minister slumped on his seat, he couldn't help but smile.
"Mr. Minister, now we can enter the formal negotiation phase."
Bi Sheng, the minister of the Lanxi Kingdom on the side, saw that the minister of the Rakshasa Kingdom was already in despair, and hurriedly said on his behalf: "The negotiations can proceed. Mr. Zhao please speak first."
After hearing this, the smile on Zhao Chuanren's face became even brighter. He took a copy of the copy from the secretary on the side, then slowly opened it, glanced at the minister of Rakshasa Kingdom opposite, and then began to say: "Our country's requirements are very Simple, first, the Rakshasa Kingdom immediately withdraws all its troops from Northeast my country and Xinjiang. Second, it stops providing weapons support to our country’s rebel areas. Third, it pays compensation for the losses caused to our country by the Rakshasa Kingdom’s invasion of our country. 20 million taels of silver."
The Tsarist Russian Minister Gersi also regained his composure at this time. After hearing Zhao Chuanren's conditions, he immediately slapped the table and jumped up.
"This is blackmail. The great Rakshasa Kingdom will never accept such conditions."
Bi Sheng, the minister of Lanxi who was sitting nearby, also said at this time: "Such conditions are too harsh. I hope you can relax the conditions so that the negotiation can continue."
After hearing this, Zhao Chuanren didn't say much, but looked at Minister Lanxi with ill intentions.
This was because when the French minister saw the disdainful smile on Zhao Chuanren's face, he felt a little unhappy.
Just now, I had used my sweet words to get Zhao Chuanren to agree to participate in the negotiation. However, he broke his promise as soon as the negotiation started.
However, Bi Sheng, Minister of the Lanxi Kingdom, was after all a veteran diplomat for many years. He recovered immediately, and then said to Gersi, the Minister of the Rakshasa Kingdom on the side: "Mr. Gersi, Tsarist Russia has failed in this war.
In order to end the conflict between the two parties as soon as possible, I hope you can calm down your emotions and then put forward corresponding conditions pragmatically."
Tsarist Russian Minister Biers' eyes lit up after hearing these words. Although the war was a failure, they could definitely obtain greater benefits in the negotiations.
"Okay, I accept the suggestion of Minister Lanxi."
Gersi seemed to calm down his emotions, and then said: "Based on the current situation, the Rakshasa government hopes that your government can accept the following conditions."
"First, the Rakshasa Kingdom must have special rights and interests in the northeast. The Rakshasa Kingdom government is allowed to build railways in the northeast, and the railway will be controlled by the Rakshasa Kingdom government."
"Second, for the losses caused to the Rakshasa government by this war, your government must compensate 50 million taels of silver."
"Third, your government must recognize Empress Dowager Cixi and the government she represents as the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, Mr. Liu Hai, as a powerful figure in the Qing Dynasty, can continue to serve as the governor of Liangjiang."
"Fourth, your government must recognize that the Rakshasa Kingdom has special rights and interests in Xinjiang. Businessmen from the Rakshasa Kingdom can freely live in Xinjiang, buy real estate, and have extraterritorial rights."
"Fifth, due to this war, your government attacked the Rakshasa Kingdom's Pacific Fleet for no reason. Therefore, as a compensation cabinet, the government must compensate the Tsarist Russian government with four large battleships."
Zhao Chuanren suddenly laughed after hearing these five points, then without saying anything more, he stood up and walked out of the conference room.
