After seeing Andrei off, Yang Meng also roughly thought about the delaying strategy of Britain, France and Russia. If he wanted to occupy the greatest interests, he would just be surrounded Wei and save Zhao!

But now he is in power, Yang Meng is not the cowardly man of the Qing Dynasty. If he is defeated, he wants to get out of here. It is impossible not to leave something behind!

"Third Master, Tsarist Russian envoy Putiya Ting, seeking a meeting."

"Oh... The Russians are here too. It's indeed an item wearing a pair of pants with English. If you come, let him in!"

Now it is not a real negotiation, it is just that both sides have put forward conditions for each other. Now the condition for Britain and France is to withdraw troops, while Yang Meng's condition is to abolish the contract and pay compensation for the Russians. Such conditions are not allowed by ministers from various countries. Two months is already very short.

Wen Xian and Puti Yating were also expected by Yang Meng. In the current negotiation situation, Yang Meng has absolutely the initiative, and he has to rely on three points without reason, let alone have a reasonable and well-founded approach? It will never happen this time if the Tsarist Russia is not skinned and removed!

"Dude, Tsarist Russia has a large number of mercenaries in the Qing Dynasty. Should we both sides talk about it?"

Putiyatin was an admiral of Tsarist Russia. He didn't care about tens of thousands of mercenaries, but the Tsar cared about it! And Mikhail could not die in the Qing Dynasty, so negotiations were also very important for Putiyatin.

"Dude? The news about the Tsarist Russian envoy is well-informed. Are there Tsarist Russian mercenaries among the British and French coalition forces?"

"Yes! Nearly half!"

The plan of Tsar Russia was completely lost this time. Through various channels, Putiyatin also learned that the casualties of Tsarist Russian mercenaries were several times, which was very tragic!

This time, Tsarist Russia has entered the strategy of Britain and France. If the mercenaries cannot be withdrawn in time and clearly define the relationship with this war, Tsarist Russia will probably be continued to be used by Britain and France.

Tsarist Russia is different from Britain and France. It has a long land border with the Qing Dynasty. Once a war begins, Tsarist Russia cannot afford a large-scale war. Once a national war starts, Tsarist Russia does not have the ability to deal with it, but the Tsarist throne will be lost.

"Oh... This is the first time I heard from me, it's nearly half? That's a problem. The conditions I have issued to Britain and France are to abolish the contract and make compensation, and nearly half of the Tsarist Russians are to pay compensation. The amount of compensation is 1.1 billion taels of silver!

As for the treaty, since the Qianlong Dynasty, we have many disputes on the border issue. Let’s resolve the problem in the Northeast this time!

The area east of the Stanov Mountains belongs to the Qing Dynasty. I heard that your country has a colony called Alaska in the Americas. Let's do this! We will allocate it to the Qing Dynasty and pay a compensation of one billion taels of silver. The dispute between our two countries will be the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, we will get these compensations and land by ourselves!"

After Mongolia was decided to attack Tsarist Russia, he ignored all other regions. Before the powerful navy, Yang Meng's target was Tsarist Russia. Putiyatin crashed in stupidly. What's the good thing? Blackmailing Tsarist Russia is considered light. If Yang Meng takes action, blood flows into the river and corpses gather in the mountains, that's certain.

Yang Meng's goal was to grab territory. The Qing Dynasty had enough population to march into the north. Yang Meng's goal was only land. As for the people on the land, they would die the best and could also make the fields rich.

"Duke, it seems that you have misunderstood. Our mercenaries have not participated in the burning of your country's royal gardens. Our country can agree to the abolition of the contract. As for this compensation..."

Unlike Elliot, Wenxian and Andre, whether the treaty signed by the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia will be abolished or not is a matter of a day or two. If the border issue is not done well, it will be a matter of decades. Now the most critical thing for Tsarist Russia is to escape from this war. The combat power of the Qing army is stronger than that of Britain and France. Even if they suffer some losses, Tsarist Russia must escape from this war.

Otherwise, if it is used by Britain and France, it is still a question whether Tsarist Russia can exist! As for the blackmail of this Qing duke, he may not have such a mind if he waits for a few months. What's the problem with just agreeing to his conditions now?

The sea route from the capital to the Qing Dynasty is long. If it is slower, it will not be long. After three or five months, I wonder if this Duke of the Qing Dynasty can still be so rampant?

"Okay! Since that's the case, let's sign the contract! This is the boundary map given by our country, do you take a look?"

The map Yang Meng took out was also prepared long ago. It is certain that Tsarist Russia will participate in the negotiations. Killing the remaining tens of thousands of Tsarist Russian mercenaries would not benefit Britain and France, and it would also be of no benefit to Tsarist Russia.

Once Britain and France really kill Tsarist Russian mercenaries, then the European sequence will not have the position of Tsarist Russia. Asia, in the eyes of European people, is an uncivilized world, and Tsarist Russia definitely does not want to be classified into Asia.

"The signing of the contract has to wait for the arrival of our country's domestic envoys. How about we release people first?"

"Wow...Pitiyatin, you are trying to blackmail me! When did you sign the border treaty, when did I release people here? I gave Britain and France two months, and the same is true for you Tsarist Russia.

As long as the contract cannot be signed by then, the Qing Dynasty will start a full-scale war against Tsarist Russia!

Get out!"

Putiyatin played the trick of making money by making money, but it insulted Yang Meng's IQ. Yang Meng also made a fuss when he glared. Who the hell was blackmailing whom in this scene?

Facing the angry Duke of Qing Dynasty, Putiyatin was neither angry nor angry. Shiran reached the negotiating table and picked up the boundary map that Yang Meng had left behind.

"Dude, Tsar Russia does want to annex part of the territory of the Qing Dynasty, but now it seems that this idea is extremely wrong. On the issue of boundaries, we can talk about it again!

Tsarist Russia, as a powerful country spanning the Eurasian continent, is now somewhat defeated. In the Battle of Crimea, our country's defeat is a sign!

Today, the world, Europe, Britain, France, Germany and Austria, have begun to suppress the Asian continent. As countries on the Asian continent, Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty have common enemies.

In this war, Britain and France not only used Tsarist Russia but also the Qing Dynasty and Duke. If our two countries continue to go to war, we will inform the European powers such as Britain and France to make a cheaper price.

From a geographical point of view, our two countries are neighboring countries, and your country can also provide many necessary materials to Tsarist Russia. Duke, your country has a famous saying, "The lips are gone and the teeth are cold."

In the war between our two countries, no matter who wins or loses, the European countries will benefit from it. The Qing Dynasty has risen. Why can't we cooperate with each other?

The war begins? What the Duke said was too easy. Will the Duke, would he, want to see the Tsarist Russia fall to Britain and France?

With the support of Britain and France, will the Duke still be so confident in the war between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia? Once the war between our two countries and the Qing Dynasty is defeated, the ending of the Qing Dynasty may be even worse than India!

Think about it carefully? Lord Duke. Maybe our cooperation between the two countries can still seek Eurasian hegemony?"

Putiyatin can become the plenipotentiary of Tsarist Russia to China. It is not a waste. He has a considerable depth to grasp the situation. This is right. Unfortunately, geographical relations determine that Yang Meng will not cooperate with Tsarist Russia. Once Tsarist Russia rises, will the Qing Dynasty still be suppressed?

"Oh... Since Tsarist Russia wants to turn to Britain and France, what are you hesitating? Go and do it!"

Land War. Yang Meng was not afraid of any country at all. He had guns in his hand. The Qing Dynasty had people, and the power of artillery was not as powerful as in the future. As long as he survived this spring, the Qing Dynasty's grain output was guaranteed and he went to war with Tsarist Russia. There would be guarantees. If Nobel and others could build a large fertilizer factory, the balance of victory in this war would be turned to the Qing Dynasty.

Britain and France were eventually a sea country, and they went to war with the Qing Dynasty. Now they have no confidence and have fought a battle with Tsarist Russia. It may be a shortcut to Yang Meng's domination.

"My Duke, these words are for the interests of our two countries. If you insist on being enemies with Tsarist Russia, then we will have to fight together!"

Putiyatin was in a dilemma and went to war with the Qing Dynasty. Tsarist Russia now does not have such national strength at all. It is definitely not a good thing to accept the aid and support of Britain and France.

Even if it is defeated, Tsarist Russia will not suffer small losses. However, the results of the war must be shared with Britain and France. It is very likely that during the sharing process, Tsarist Russia is just a vassal. He contributes too much and gets too little. There is no benefit in cooperating with Britain and France.

Once defeated, Britain and France may abandon Tsarist Russia. Once the Qing Dynasty showed strong combat power, many unequal treaties would probably be imposed on Tsarist Russia. With the recognition of Britain and France, many treaties may not be changed in the future.

After the defeat of Tsarist Russia, what it paid was probably not the territory east of the Stanov Mountains, and it was not impossible for the entire Tsarist Russia to be divided up.

"It's all right, you guys do whatever you want!"

The war will be fought sooner or later, better than later. Tsarist Russia is now timid and unable to let go, so Yang Meng can only encourage him.

Many border problems in Mongolia, northwest and northeast are not easy to solve. Instead of leaving them for future generations, it is better to be resolved in the near future. Britain and France are bound to be dissatisfied. The relationship between Britain and France is also very complicated. When it comes to Europe, Yang Meng has now abandoned this idea. Since there is no tangible interests in Europe, it is better to turn around to deal with the weak Tsarist Russia.

Although Tsarist Russia after the Crimean War was also under change, the Crimean War had a great blow to Tsarist Russia. Whether it was military strength or national strength, Tsarist Russia is weak today. Thousand birds are worse than one bird in the hands of the forest. No matter how big the plan is, there must always be something substantial.

Moreover, the combat power of the new army is not particularly outstanding. If the new army wants to become a world-class strong army, it is also indispensable to fight Tsarist Russia. Only an army that is familiar with war and accustomed to war can be a real strong army.

Now fighting with Britain and France, the new army is not confident enough. It is also a shortcut to train troops while Tsarist Russia is weak. To put it bluntly, Yang Meng is going to occupy territory crazy. When the Qing Dynasty is gone, there will be no such good opportunity.

"Duke, you are just going your own way! I hope you will think about it carefully in two months. Perhaps it will not be a bad thing to cooperate with Tsarist Russia at that time!"

Yang Meng's attitude made Putiyatin feel a little angry, but the current situation is extremely unfavorable to Tsarist Russia. Once it is used by Britain and France again, Tsarist Russia's national strength will be terrifying, once...

Many things are not difficult to imagine. The full war with the Qing Dynasty is extremely inconsistent with the current interests of Tsarist Russia. A large-scale war of millions of people is likely to lead to the collapse of a country.

"Just do whatever you want!"

Faced with Putiyatin's bitter thoughts, Yang Meng was still cold and frosty. How did Outer Mongolia get out? Who supported the civil war back then was indispensable to the shadow of Tsarist Russia. Now Japan is no longer a threat. Britain, France and Russia are the mortal enemies! If you don't mess with them to death, Yang Meng will live in vain.

"Master Duke, the price of arrogance may be unbearable!"

"Hmph! There is another famous saying here, called "Blade teeth and swallow blood!"

Nowadays, Britain, France and Russia are bastards wearing pairs of pants. Yang Meng can let go of France, but not for England and Geely. Yang Meng absolutely does not want to let go of Tsarist Russia. Today's world is in the midst of change. New weapons, new farming methods, occupy land, and if you miss this village, you will not have this shop. No matter how big the hidden interests are, they are not as good as real interests. The Qing Dynasty wants to fight, and without the expansion of its territory, it will not be able to hold people's hearts. (To be continued.
