C1639 Gold Buy Road

"Put on the white flag, I will ice myself, I will negotiate with T?pchin! Bring some gold, I want to see just how greedy this bastard is! "

Fajeev got off his horse and was about to get on ice, but the surrounding officers all held him back, "No way! You are the commander, you can't take the risk yourself, let us go! "

Fajeev shook his head: "No, we don't have time to waste on this kind of negotiation. Look at how exhausted our brothers are …"

Qi Kefu, Ah Sha Wen and the rest of the officers looked around. These warriors who had come all the way from Central Asia were all extremely haggard.

The soldiers had high cheekbones, and their cheeks were so thin that they had caved in. Whenever the warhorses stopped, they would eat with the grass in the snow, and when most of the troops were on the move, they would always fall down and charge forth like ants, splitting up the horse meat to serve as food.

"Look, these are our soldiers, loyal, brave, unswerving … But they are also humans, and they also have their limits. We have to find supplies, and even if we have to buy them with all our gold, we have to find provisions for our soldiers, and find horse material for our war horses! "

"None of you are allowed to go. In order to give T?pchin face, I must personally go negotiate with him! Banner... So what if I let these Qing Guo Nu be happy once? "

What was there to say now? The guard took out a torn white shirt and tied it to the flagpole, accompanying Fajeev to the surface of the ice.

Following the afterglow of the setting sun, Fajeev carefully looked at the grooves on the ice. He couldn't help but exclaim, "These Chinese people are really talented in farming.

It was crisscrossed, the latitude and longitude straight as a knife or axe, the deep ice troughs were all the same width and depth, even the black soil and charcoal were evenly distributed.

If they were given the same task, not to mention one day, even if it was three days and their numbers were doubled, it would still be impossible to complete it.

"It's really hard not to be convinced. These Chinese people are born to create wealth! We in Russia are ashamed of our inferiority... "But it doesn't matter. We have a powerful army, so naturally, we can extract wealth from these people. This is our way of survival …"

Fajeev nodded his head and the standard-bearer and translator started to shout on the ice "Negotiate..." Our commander wants to see your commander in chief... We want to negotiate! General T?pchin, come and see us … "

"We are not armed, we only have two men, we are not armed!"

They shouted all the way, all the way forward, and stopped when they reached the burnt-out rocket trees.

Very quickly, two more people walked down from the dike. The tower-like burly man in the middle was Hun Chun, with a Translator following beside him.

By the time the four of them met at the dividing line in the middle of the great river, the bonfires and torches on both sides of the river had already converged to form a bright river of stars.

Hun Chun brought many torches for lighting. After igniting them, she placed them on top of a pile of snow on the ice. Dozens of torches illuminated the area with light.

"Is this General T?pchin? Supreme military and political officer of Heilongjiang? I am Fajeev, the commander of the Central Plains reinforcements. We pay our respects to you! " After saying that, Fajeev lightly touched his boots as he gave a simple military salute.

This was already giving the Qing Nation enough face. Since when had the proud Russian ever taken the initiative to salute the Qing Nation's officials?

When the Hun Chun heard the Chinese translation, she suddenly laughed, so it turned out that the other party was treating him as T?pchin, it was no wonder that the efficiency of the transmission of information in this world was so slow, it was normal for these Cossack s to not know what T?pchin had done after being arrested for a day.

"General Fajeev, may I ask why you have come to us in such a cold weather?" Hun Chun said in a weird tone.

Fajeev was startled. "Master General, I don't understand what you mean! Don't you know I'm here? The imperial government of Qing has already agreed to our request to borrow the path, and I even have twenty thousand vanguards who have crossed the Black Dragon River and headed south.

Hun Chun laughed sinisterly: "Of course, the imperial government allows you to cross the border, but we do not allow you to harm our citizens! Guo Geli and Fu Mannuofu are the culprits? They have hurt quite a few of us, as well as our belongings.

Fajeev knew that he was asking for bribes when he heard it, and disdainfully but with a smile on his face: Master General, tens of thousands of troops crossing the border, if there isn't any damage, then you know that it is unrealistic.

"Didn't Guo Geli tell you before that we would compensate you for all your losses? Haven't you received your previous deposit? "That's four thousand taels of gold after all …"

"Hahaha, not enough, of course not enough! That little bit of gold is simply not enough to support our losses, so you have to increase the price! "

Fajeev was so angry that the corners of his eyes started to tremble, thinking that the Qing Guo Nu was truly shameless, he dared to ask for bribes and was not shameless at all, but in a situation where he was stronger than other people, he had to be a ninja.

Nodding, the translator undid a backpack and smashed it onto the ice. After opening it, a golden light shone.

"Here is a thousand taels of gold, count it as my deposit to you. After this war, I will still pay you the final payment of ten thousand taels of gold. What do you think?"

"A thousand taels?" Is the distinguished leader of the Central Asia s really so generous? " Hun Chun pretended to be angry as she said.

Fajeev nodded his head, "Of course there's still gold. I still have sixteen thousand gold, but I can't give you one … I want to ask you to sell us the gold, the more the better! "

Hun Chun was startled when she heard the number of 16,000. Although the exchange rate of gold in China had been low since ancient times, and even though it was only a comparison of gold in name, it was still a comparison of gold in Kang Xi's year.

Along with the increase of the Qing Empire's strength and the frequent foreign trade, the value of gold kept rising. Until now, one tael of gold on the market was enough to be exchanged for 20 taels of silver.

In one breath, Fajeev took out more than three hundred thousand silver taels to buy horse material and grain.

Looking carefully at the gold on the ground, Hun Chun's heart sank. Inside, there were all kinds of daily life gold equipment, there were jewelry, gold cups, accessories and even the decorations on the saddle. Even Hun Chun could smell the stench of blood from them, just a meter away.

"If I'm not wrong, this is all stolen from the Desert North Plains!"

Fajeev frowned, "General is talking too much. You don't need to ask how the gold came to be, can't we collect it?"

"Forgive me for my bluntness, General T?pchin, but you have already earned a lot of gold and silver from us. "Don't challenge my patience, or else you'll see the light of your private business …"

Fajeev believed that he had already pinched T?pchin's hair, so he was not afraid that would not agree.
