Zai Chun was already moved by the Hun Chun's loyalty. He had learned modern geography skills before, and Rakasha had a clear concept of geography in his heart. It wasn't like ordinary Qing Dynasty s were in a state of chaos!
Before the power of the Russia expanded to the far east of East Asia, the northern parts of the Heilongjiang were all primitive nomadic tribes. They did not form a unified Country, they only relied on the strong warriors to live on for generations!
If the Mongolian was strong, they would say that they were a branch of the Mongolian. If the female expert was strong, they would say that they were a true tribe of the Mongolian!
You provide me with protection and resources, I will send you the bravest warrior, they have always lived like this for thousands of years!
Knowing that the Cossack cavalry s of the Tsar were here, without saying a word, he immediately announced that this was the territory of the Tsar s.
The vanguard of the Rakasha had been harassing the Heilongjiang from the beginning of their reign. By the time Kang Xi took control of almost all of the extreme northern lands of the Far Eastern Region, they had already begun their journey south to build a permanent fortress over the Heilongjiang's watershed!
This was the reason for the war that followed and the series of treaties!
The history books had always defined this war as Qing Dynasty's victory and Russia's defeat! But Xiao Letian had a completely different perspective!
In this war, the last victor was actually the Russia, because their apparent military failure had brought about a pleasant surprise. It was a treaty!
With a treaty, they would be able to reach the border. With a boundary, it would prove that the Qing Dynasty had completely renounced the territorial requirements of the extreme north region!
Originally, the Qing Dynasty could have bit the bullet and never let go, forever announcing to the world that the Zhaoga Peninsula, the Lerner River Basin, and Lake Baikal are the permanent territories of the Qing Kingdom!
This kind of legal requirement was very reasonable, because these places had never established a power. The only people who could make such demands of them were the past Empire of Meng Yuan, that is, the Qing Dynasty!
Your Russia is a newcomer, even if you ask for land, the indigenous people would not agree!
In the end, a mere treaty had recognized the legitimacy of the Russia's occupation! No more the Lerner, no more Lake Baikal, no more the Peninsula!
With this Big Gift Package, the Russia would be able to temporarily ceasefire with the Southern Qing Dynasty. In the next hundred years, she would be able to kill them all.
The Rakasha massacred in the Far East, built cities, infiltrated for a long time, and established an effective rule!
In Xian Feng's years, these Rakasha could be considered as having completely occupied this land.
Then what about now? Using the historical opportunity of the Second Opium War, they directly signed an agreement on the basis of the treaties that Kang Xi had made back then, and directly snatched away the land north of the Heilongjiang, east of the Wusuli River!
They even sent troops to take over Ivu River Valley!
As expected, after these Rakasha eat up a portion of your land, they will negotiate with you to finalize the border, and force you to admit their occupation!
For example, if I invaded one million square kilometers of your territory, you would definitely be unhappy! Let's discuss this over at the negotiating table and come up with a discount!
You got back three hundred thousand square kilometers through the negotiating table, and the remaining seven hundred thousand square kilometers will go to my Russia. What do you think? If you don't accept it, then keep fighting!
Don't want to fight? You're still not willing to sign the contract? Good, good, good... Let's continue talking, can we bargain?
If three or seven is not good, then four or six is fine. This is our bottom line, so we'll return the remaining six hundred thousand to you for four hundred thousand kilometers!
The history of the The Russian Empire's expansion was actually just like this, a process of talking about it.
Xiao Letian had already explained this to Zai Chun clearly. In the past few years, Great Qing Dynasty had already suffered greatly, and in addition to it, Zai Chun's father had also suffered greatly once!
Zai Chun was the Emperor, how could he not feel the pain?
And today, the Hun Chun had brought him a piece of good news. In the lands even further north of the Heilongjiang, there was a piece of desolate land that had been completely abandoned by Kang Xi years ago.
