Apologize?
compensation?
Cut off land?
These three demands were like three slaps on the face of Rakshasa Tsar Alexei.
His face turned purple and red.
Alexey wanted to say no.
Because he admitted that he had never been blackmailed like this.
His facial muscles were shaking.
He shouted in his heart: "The people of the Ming Dynasty are really the most annoying people he has ever seen! Their arrogance and shamelessness are completely intolerable!"
But when Alexey thought about the current situation, he could only smile and said: "We can promise not to invade your country again! We can also apologize! But these additional requirements are not necessary."
"Do you think that's possible?"
"You stupid and crude people probably don't know how angry the people of our Ming Dynasty were after the news of your unauthorized invasion of our country spread throughout the world. There were no fewer than ten demonstrations every day asking His Majesty to exterminate you, and there were many in the DPRK. The minister threatened to destroy you, and many nobles wish you Rakshasa people could disappear completely from this world."
"But His Majesty the Ming Emperor, the most benevolent Emperor, the most loving father in the world, is willing to give you a chance to live! That's why he sent me to negotiate with you. If you don't show enough sincerity, the hard-line nobles of our empire will Satisfied, even the kindness of our great Majesty cannot protect you."
Wang Tiaoding replied.
Although he didn't feel that his emperor was very benevolent in his heart, he knew that the external propaganda had to be promoted in this way.
"Can we just compensate without ceding the land?"
Nirav asked.
"Can't!"
Wang Tiaoding replied.
Then, Wang Diaoding said in a stern tone: "How stupid! You don't know what I have to say. You only have the right to accept requests now, but you have no right to make demands! Don't even think about what you didn't get on the battlefield. Get it on the negotiating table!”
Wang Tiaoding scolded Nilav and he had no choice but to fall silent.
"Then, can you exchange the Rakshasa people captured by you back?"
Alexei was also very dissatisfied with Nirav's performance at this time, because Nirav actually talked directly with the Ming people without asking him for instructions.
He knew that this was all because his army was greatly reduced, and his monarchy began to be affected. Therefore, he also imagined that the Ming Dynasty could return the captured Rakshasa people.
After all, these Rakshasa people are well-trained soldiers. After returning, they can be reorganized into a new army.
Wang Tiaoding smiled coldly: "They are atonement for themselves. If you really care about them, you can give us a repatriation fee. We will send them back after they have completed atonement."
Of course, Wang Tiaoding did not say that he would send these people back after they died of exhaustion.
Alexei did not continue this topic after hearing this.
"You talk to Nirav, he can fully represent me."
Next, Alexey said that he had to find someone to take the blame for such a thing that was insulting to the dignity of the country.
Nirav had no right to say no.
But then, when Wang Tiaoding met with him alone, he extended an olive branch to him, and his attitude was friendlier than to Alexey: "Your Excellency, if you can take the initiative to accept Chineseization and are willing to become our Ming Dynasty Friends of the empire, we will protect your status and power in the Rakshasa Kingdom, as well as the safety of all lives."
Nilav really couldn't resist Wang Diaoding's temptation, so he bowed and said: "I do!"
"Then the next negotiation, I hope you can be more comfortable!"
Wang Tiaoding replied.
So, after Nilav met with Sun Chuanting, Zhou Yuji, and Zhu Cizhuo, the formal negotiation ministers appointed by the Ming Dynasty, he began to agree without any burden. The area east of the Ma River and the Pechora River was ceded to the Ming Dynasty at the request of the Ming Dynasty.
The area of this land is not small, almost 10 million square kilometers.
Of course, except for the part west of the Yenisei River, which is more painful because it has been ruled by the Rakshasa Kingdom for more than half a century, the other areas are just areas where the Rakshasa Kingdom has expanded in recent decades, and the foundation of its rule is not yet solid.
I don’t feel bad if Rakshasa Kingdom is ceded.
As for compensation, the Ming Dynasty demanded that the Rakshasa Kingdom compensate 100 million taels of silver.
Over the years, the Rakshasa Kingdom has been expanding externally.
Especially towards the east, if the Ming Dynasty had not stopped his eastward advance, he would have already expanded crazily to the Bering Strait during this period in history.
Although in this world, Ming Dynasty stopped him and stopped him at the Lena River. Even the city of Yakutsk he built was taken away by Ming Dynasty.
But the Rakshasa Kingdom still expanded a lot of territory, and in the process of expansion, it also made a lot of money. By selling the precious furs, wood, etc. plundered from various ethnic groups in Siberia to the European market, it gained a lot of money. Silver income.
And Ming Dynasty had already figured out their wealth situation.
Therefore, now the Ming Dynasty dares to directly ask the Rakshasa Kingdom for 100 million taels of silver compensation.
Nirav still did not refuse because he no longer had any reason to refuse.
He only wants to care about his own life and death now, and no longer wants to worry about the life and death of other Rakshasa people.
As for the following requirements such as trade rights, apology form, and extraterritorial rights.
Nirav also agreed to all of them.
There was no hesitation at all.
The Ming Dynasty also reciprocated the favor and asked Nirav by name to go to Beijing to present a letter of apology to his Majesty the Emperor in order to ask for the Ming Emperor's forgiveness.
"Nirav, the traitor! The bastard who betrayed my Russia!"
Alexei naturally could not accept the terms Nilav promised, so he slammed the table in his palace angrily.
"Your Majesty! I request you to lead the troops to kill this bastard now!"
Wei Xing even took the initiative to ask for instructions.
"No! Don't go! Recognize all the terms Nirav signed!"
Alexei finally said helplessly.
His reason told him that he had to accept all these requests.
Moreover, Alexei also discovered that in the face of absolute strength, any of his plots were useless. Nirav could completely avoid the fate of being killed by himself by defecting to the Ming Dynasty.
Alexey knew that from now on, his prestige as a monarch would completely cease to exist due to the arrival of the Ming people.
Next, the Rakshasa Kingdom began to convene an all-Russian meeting of the gentry and drew up a compensation plan, stating that the principal and interest of the compensation would be repaid in three installments over the next two years.
"You don't want to exploit the people too much and intensify conflicts. We can understand that it is not too much to propose to pay off the compensation in three installments over two years. However, we require that the first installment must be delivered within three months after the signing of the treaty. And the first installment of compensation must not be less than 50 million taels of silver!"
Sun Chuanting made a request after the Rakshasa Kingdom gave out the compensation plan.
The Rakshasa Kingdom finally agreed to Sun Chuanting's request.
On the Ming side, Sun Chuanting and others also knew that the Rakshasa Kingdom would definitely not be willing to empty its treasury and pay off the compensation in one lump sum.
And I definitely want to pay compensation in installments, so that the cost of compensation can be transferred to the ordinary people of the Rakshasa Kingdom by raising taxes, thereby shifting the burden of compensation.
Sun Chuanting and others agreed, naturally they also wanted the ruling class of Rakshasa nobles to do this, which would intensify their own domestic conflicts and intensify the internal strife among Rakshasa.
In addition, once the Ming Dynasty destroys the Rakshasa Kingdom in the future, it can also buy the hearts and minds of the Rakshasa Kingdom by waiving the additional taxes brought by these compensations, or use the compensation received later to open Chinese cultural schools in the Rakshasa Kingdom and support international students. Funds can also be used to bribe the youth of the Rakshasa Kingdom and instill their own ideas.
This is one of the reasons why Ming Dynasty directly asked for 100 million taels in compensation.
