Become a feudal king from today

"What! Ceding the vast snowfield east of the Ural Mountains?"

It was already the depth of winter, and the winter sunshine in Petersburg was cold when it shone on people. Google search reading

After browsing through Dong An's paperwork, Chester only felt his body getting colder.

Immediately, his face turned red and filled with anger, "Your emperor must be crazy. No one has ever made Russia cede its occupied territory."

Dong An's expression did not change, but he said lightly, "What you say is a bit ridiculous. We understand the history of your country of Russia and the history of the Far North Snowfield. Historically speaking, our praise seems to be extremely The origins of Beixueyuan are deeper, after all, that land is on Dasong’s back, isn’t it?”

"This is a strong argument. In short, whatever our country of Russia occupied first belongs to our country of Russia." Dong An's retort made Chester suddenly feel a little angry.

What Dong An said is not unreasonable.

But it was precisely because it made sense that it made him angry.

"So, do you agree that whoever has the strength can dominate one side?" Dong An was always calm, and he instantly caught the loophole in Chester's words.

Chester was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Obviously, this is a trap set by Dong An.

If he admits that it is, then Dasong can attack the snowfield in the far north. This is an occupation in terms of strength.

If he does not agree, then he cannot recognize the Far North Snowfield as the territory of the Ross Kingdom.

Thinking of this, he did not answer, but said, "I can't answer such an important question. This needs to be decided by Emperor Nicholas. Please rest in the post for the time being, and I will go and explain your purpose of coming."

"Then we will wait for the good news." Dong An smiled softly, and then he threw out a slightly threatening sentence, "Remind me, now that we have an absolute advantage in the Far East in Dasong, you should not want Tianzhu to retreat in the future. Will it happen again in the Far East?”

Chester's face turned a little paler, he still didn't speak, but hurried to the Winter Palace.

Here Dong An was led by Russian diplomats to the resting place.

Half an hour later, Chester met Nicholas the Great with documents in hand.

"I think this visit must not be well-intentioned." Nicholas looked at Chester and said with a frown.

Chester's panicked expression was enough to say a lot.

"Dasong Emperor Zhao Xu asked us to give up all the land east of the Ural Mountains, and at the same time gave us two options." Chester ignored the usual polite greetings and said directly.

After a pause, he continued, "First, we will peacefully hand over the territory east of the Ural Mountains to Dasong, and Dasong will establish diplomatic relations with us and provide us with some technologies to help us, the Russian state, technologically. To catch up with Britain, and secondly, if we refuse, they will take what they want by force."

"What an arrogant request." Nicholas realized that the Dasong delegation came with bad intentions, but he did not expect that it would bring such humiliating conditions.

The strong anger caused the veins on his neck to emerge from the surface of his skin, "Go tell the envoys of Dasong and ask them to get out of Petersburg and go back and tell their emperor..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped and turned into a sigh.

Because he knew very well that in the face of Dasong Kingdom, which easily defeated the Western-Turkish Allied Forces, they were unable to confront it in the Far East.

If this matter is handled according to one's own preferences, the country of Rus may fall into a war with Dasong in the next year.

At that time, even if the Western and Turkish countries send coalition forces to the Ross country, will they be able to win?

What's more, according to Chester's understanding, the war in Tianzhu has frightened some Western countries.

Although they still had deep hostility towards Da Song, they did not dare to talk about the war easily.

There are even Western and Turkish countries privately discussing the idea of ​​establishing diplomatic relations with Dasong to calm the conflict between the East and the West.

Therefore, he doubted the strength of these countries' support for him if the Russian state became a bridgehead against Dasong.

After thinking for a while, his thoughts returned to the first condition of Mahasunti.

The Great Songman said that he would help Russia improve its technology and surpass Britain.

It has to be said that this one has a reason for his heart.

Because the Russians have always been regarded as barbarians in the Western Territories, Britain's technological blockade against the Russians is also the most stringent.

It took a lot of effort for them to have today's steam industry technology.

Once, he once asked his son to secretly go to Britain to study in order to master these steam technologies.

But even so, their steam technology is much behind Britain's, and many industries are missing.

Therefore, he has always had a stubborn obsession with steam technology.

Now that Da Song proposed this, he was naturally a little moved.

However, ceding territory is a taboo in the Ross Kingdom. If he does this, he will inevitably be opposed by the nobles.

So, it's a dilemma.

"Perhaps, we should understand Dasong and grasp its true situation." After hesitating, Nicholas suddenly thought of something.

The people of Russia need to understand the real Great Song. If the Great Song is really so powerful that the country of Russia cannot resist, then the nobles will have no choice but to compromise.

And if Dasong is not that strong and they have even the slightest chance of being able to resist its attack, then they will choose the second condition.

Of course, he also expected that the Dasong Emperor Zhao Xu had sinister intentions.

The first article actually forces Russia to stop expanding eastward and turn to the west.

The ultimate goal is to provoke internal strife between the Russian state and other Western countries.

But even if he understood this, he could only go along with it.

They lost the land in the east and gained the land in the west. They didn't suffer much from this deal.

After all, those desolate snowfields were of little value to him.

"Your Majesty means to send an envoy to Dasong?" Chester said.

Nicholas nodded, "If Dasong wants to cooperate with Russia, he will not refuse this request."

After a pause, he continued: "This mission will include influential nobles."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Chester replied.

Naturally, they couldn't agree to Da Song's request right away.

A return visit can not only delay time, but also get to know Dasong first-hand. It is the right choice.

After talking to Nicholas for a few more words, Chester went back.

On the same day, he conveyed Nicholas's intention to Dong An.

Dong An had already anticipated this and agreed to Nicholas's request to send an envoy to Yancheng.

However, he will not go back for the time being, but will only ask an official from the Foreign Affairs Department to accompany the Russian mission to Dasong.

He decided to stay in Petersburg.

In this way, after the Russian mission returns, the contract can be signed directly.

At the same time, during this period, he was also able to understand the real situation of the Western Turks on the ground and provide intelligence for the next strategy.
