"Tax evasion, smuggling to resist the law, private mining of gold, and even forming a gang to fight against our soldiers... Don't think you are so great, you killed many of our single tax officials back then!"
"Especially you Hans and Manchus! The worst... you will run away when you encounter a large group of soldiers, and ambush those who are alone... you have dug up all the gold in the Far East! Is this your gold? This is all His Majesty’s gold!”
"You said we were brutal in Qingdao? Then let me ask you, who allowed them to secretly dig gold on the Tsar's land? General Aitorin did not suppress it at the beginning, but just chose to disperse it! In the end, it was you who started the attack Gun, strike first and ambush!"
"It is obviously the land that your Qing Empire ceded to our Tsarist Empire through legal procedures. Is it wrong for us to exercise our law enforcement powers? Do you allow private digging of gold mines within the Qing's customs?"
"You don't pay taxes, you violently resist the law, you mine gold, ginseng, and timber privately... you still have a reason!" Andreev roared angrily, and his spittle flew like a fountain.
Zai Chun was completely stunned. As the translator translated sentence by sentence, Zai Chun suddenly found that the truth Andreev said was so powerful that it could not be refuted.
yes! The land in the Far East was really negotiated and signed by Uncle Liu himself with the Russians. It was land ceded at the negotiation table, and the treaty was backed up in all countries!
That's really not the land invaded by Tsarist Russia. Even if it was invaded, wouldn't you sign in the end to recognize other people's right to rule? When people exercise management rights on their own land and encounter people who do not abide by the law, what happens to the people they teach?
No country in the world seems to allow private gold mining! Tsarist Russia did nothing wrong in this regard. It can only be said that its methods in the process of law enforcement were a little too cruel.
Xiao Letian knew that he was stunned when he saw Zai Chun. He smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you speechless? Hahaha, most people can't refute his reasoning. Let's just watch the show. The key is You have to look at me, master, at all times!"
Xiao Letian loosened the buckle on the Generalissimo's uniform, relaxed his neck like a boxing champion preparing to enter the boxing ring, and snapped his fingers without looking back, "Cai Bixia! You serve the appetizers first, let me They ignorant soldiers know what the truth of the treaty is!"
Cai Bixia had just returned from the cabin, holding a large briefcase and a notebook in her hands. She smiled, "Do you want to talk to us about the China-Russia Beijing Treaty? Okay, let me explain it to you..."
"The China-Russia Beijing Treaty has a total of fifteen articles. I will not say today that this treaty was actually obtained by you through coercion and inducement. After all, that is a historical issue, no matter how many shady tricks you used behind this treaty. , after all, the imperial court also signed it, now I will only give you a legal education on the contents of the treaty..."
Cai Bixia glanced at this group of Rakshasa ghosts and said with disdain, "The first point is to specify the date of May 16, 1858 (that is, April 21 of the eighth year of Xianfeng). The first article of the peace treaty established in Aihui City was in accordance with the ninth article of the peace treaty established in Tianjin on the first day of the first month of Yiyun (i.e. the third day of May) of that year. From then on, the eastern boundary of the two countries was bounded by Shilka and Er. The meeting point of the two Ergun rivers, that is, the place where the Heilongjiang River flows downstream to the meeting point of the river and the Wusuli River..."
"Article 1 records in detail the origin and background of the treaty, and divides the land in detail. Your Tsarist Empire did gain sovereignty over this land, but... But in the last sentence of Article 1, listen carefully !”
"The land mentioned above is an open space. Wherever the Chinese live or the fishing and hunting land occupied by the Chinese, Russia is not allowed to occupy it. The Chinese are still allowed to fish and hunt as usual. From the time the boundary sign was established, it will never be changed. It does not encroach on nearby or other places..."
"Did you hear that? This is the first and last sentence of the treaty between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia! It is clearly written on it that you are not allowed to invade any fishing and hunting land where the Chinese already live. They must be allowed to live in their original way. Then The sovereignty of this land belongs to you, Tsarist Russia, but you must recognize the Chinese people’s private property rights in that land! Do you understand?”
Xiao Letian smiled slightly, "Let me put it more simply! That is to say, although this land has changed dynasties, the new dynasty must recognize the property ownership of the people of the old dynasty! Land deeds, houses, and original survival territories, these ownership rights still belong to those common people. …Have you complied with this rule?”
"Ah!" Andreev's eyes were wider than those of a cow. "And there's another thing to say..." In the final analysis, he is just a soldier. He doesn't understand and doesn't want to understand the things that civilian officials do. China and Russia They have no idea how many details the Beijing Treaty contains, and they have never seen it.
Cai Bixia looked at him as if he were an idiot. "I won't go into details about the division of the eastern boundary mentioned in Articles 2 and 3. Now let me read Article 4 to you..."
"Article 4: In all areas along the border specified in Article 1 of this treaty, people belonging to the two countries are allowed to trade at will without paying taxes. Border officials at various places protect merchants and trade in accordance with regulations. As for the matters in Article 2 of the Aihui Peace Treaty, this time Repeat the statement."
Cai Bixia closed her notebook with a snap. She glared and roared, "Did you hear it? Do you hear it now? Article 4 is written clearly. The two countries are on the Ussuri River border and the Heilongjiang border area. You can trade casually and don’t pay taxes. Officials are just protecting merchants and doing business as usual! Who told you that we Chinese have to pay taxes to you? Tell me again, who allowed you to collect taxes!"
With a puff, Xiao Letian burst into laughter. For the first time, he discovered that this little girl Cai Bixia also has a tigress side. It seems that Xiang Ying will suffer from bedside problems in the future.
Unreasonable and unforgiving, Cai Bixia's little mouth was as loud as Gatling's, and Andriff's body was riddled with holes.
"Look at Article 8... When a Russian national lives privately in a Chinese home or flees to the mainland of China, Chinese officials will search and send him back according to the consular documents. When a Chinese national lives in the mainland of Russia privately or flees to the mainland of China, the local official will also search and send him back. This should be followed. If there are serious cases such as murder, robbery, serious injury, murder, house burning, etc., and if it is found that the crime was committed by a Russian national, the criminal will be sent to the country and punished according to the law; if the crime was committed by a Chinese national, or at the place where the crime was committed, the criminal will be punished according to the law. Or elsewhere, all should listen to China's laws and punish crimes. In case of large or small cases, consuls and local officials handle people from different countries, and must not take, retain, investigate and treat each other arbitrarily."
"Are you illiterate? The treaty is clearly written. Even if the Chinese commit a crime, they must be punished according to Chinese law. Who allows you to kill innocent people indiscriminately? Have you ever tried those Chinese who died? Answer me...Have you ever been tried? Was it tried in accordance with Chinese law!"
Under Cai Bixia's fierce attack, Andreev turned pale and could not speak a word.
