Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang and Russian Foreign Minister Izvolsky signed their names on the Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty on behalf of China and Russia respectively. This is a great honor for Wu Tingfang, but for Iran
For Zvorski, it was a complete shame. After the two sides exchanged letters, the treaty officially came into effect.
The "Beijing Treaty between China and Russia" stipulates that, first, Russia will cede the Siberian area east of the Irtysh River and the Ob River, and the Central Asian area east of the Ural River to China. Second, Russia will compensate China for its war expenses of 200 million pounds.
Within one month after the signing of the treaty, Russia paid all the compensation in gold, which was equivalent to about 1,400 gold.
Sixty-five tons. Third, after receiving war compensation, the Chinese troops withdrew from the Siberian Plain and all evacuated before mid-October 1899. Fourth, in order to ensure the friendship and peace between China and Russia, China and Russia
The troops deployed by both sides on the border shall not exceed 100,000 people. Fifth, the treaty shall take effect from the signing.
In this treaty, Russia gave up millions of captured Russian soldiers. Although Tsar Nicholas II very much hoped to redeem these veterans to fight for Russia and quell the rebellion in the south. However, China offered
The price of one hundred pounds per soldier was too high. If all were redeemed, Russia would have to pay another 100 million pounds. This made the gold reserves half spent by Tsar Nicholas II, regardless of
No matter what, I don't want to agree.
The signing of the "Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty" directly ended the six-month-long war between China and Russia. Although Russia almost collapsed in this war, China actually exerted its national power to the extreme. If it were not for the previous
For several years, Wang Yuze has been working for this war
If China had made preparations, it would have been impossible for China to win such a big victory. After the war between China and Russia ended, China could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Among the remaining enemies, except for the United Kingdom, which was determined to save face,
Only Japan is left. All four countries including Britain, France, the United States and Russia have been dissolved.
If Japan is determined, it is not difficult for China to destroy Japan. The troops on the west coast of the United States are withdrawing into the country. Among them, four divisions of the Sixth Army will be stationed in Hawaii to strengthen the defense here.
, and at the same time further deter the United States, the other two
An infantry division was stationed in Alaska to defend the territory that had just joined China. The Seventh Army returned to the country to rest and recuperate. At the same time, the transportation capacity gathered by the navy will also be used in other aspects, whether it is to deter the British southward,
You can still use it when you land in Japan.
After the signing ceremony, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China once again held a grand reception. Envoys from various countries in China attended this reception. Obviously, with Russia admitting defeat, China has definitely won this war. And.
After learning the contents of the treaty, all countries know that. After obtaining a large area of territory and war reparations, China will develop rapidly in the next few years. I am afraid that it will
It won't take long for China to become one of the most powerful countries in the world. After all, China has become the largest country in the world in terms of land area. And Russia, which has lost most of Siberia and Central Asia, has only the remaining land area.
More than 10 million square kilometers. However, the remaining parts are the most elite parts of Russia in Europe. Russia's strength has not actually been greatly affected.
Lord Lansdowne, the British Foreign Secretary, also looked very unhappy. The foreign ministers of other countries have successively reached an agreement with China and left Beijing. Only the United Kingdom cannot reach an agreement with China because China's asking price is too high.
This made him feel great pressure. The British cabinet sent him telegrams almost every day to inquire about the results of the negotiations. However, the negotiations between China and Britain had reached a deadlock.
situation. Lord Lansdowne was unable to accept the conditions proposed by China, and at the same time he was unable to get China to lower its conditions, which made the negotiations at a loss. However, as China ended its wars with the United States and Russia respectively, China's powerful military could be used in other
This puts Lord Lansdowne in a very difficult position. Once China's huge army marches towards India or Australia, Britain will be unable to stop it now.
As for the foreign minister of another country, Japanese Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki, he has given up all illusions and returned to Japan, preparing for a decisive battle with China.
On August 22, Wang Yuze held an imperial meeting in the Qinzheng Hall of Xinhua Palace. All cabinet ministers and military giants attended the meeting. Everyone except Cai Yun, the Minister of War who was far away in Siberia, was present. Everyone’s faces
Everyone was filled with joy. In this war, China undoubtedly won a great victory.
"Everyone, in this war, with everyone's hard work, we finally achieved the final victory. Although the British have not compromised yet, they are not far away from compromising. The remaining Japanese will also soon
Let’s start dealing with them! Although this battle is very dangerous for the empire, fortunately, we still won in the end! The rise of the empire is unstoppable!” Wang Yuze said loudly.
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!" the ministers shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, the United States and Russia have withdrawn from the war one after another. Then, the next step is to oppress Britain and take action against Japan. End the war earlier so that the empire can devote all its energy to developing the economy. Although the empire wins
Although we have won this war, in terms of national strength, compared with other countries, there is still a big gap!" Prime Minister Yang Hua suggested.
"Well! You can rest assured that Britain will compromise with us soon. As for Japan, it is estimated that it will not take long, and the war against Japan will not require many troops, and it will not have any impact on domestic construction.
It has such a big impact!" Wang Yuze said. In this battle, except for Russia, several other countries actually did not use their full strength. Otherwise, China would
It is not that easy for China to win this war. However, in the next war, all countries will not hold back, which will be a huge pressure for China.
Therefore, in the next few years, China must develop its national strength. Otherwise, it is very difficult to say whether China can win the next war.
"Your Majesty, after the Russians paid us gold in gold, several troops in the Siberian battlefield, except for the First Cavalry Army deployed in Central Asia and the Fifth Army deployed on the new defense line, the First Army and the Fourth Army,
They will all withdraw to the country for rest and recuperation. In addition, the land area has expanded a lot, and we will also reorganize new defense areas." said Xiong Wu, Chief of General Staff.
Wang Yuze nodded. Most of the troops fighting in Siberia were very tired after a long period of fighting. It was time to rest for a while.
"It would be great if the General Staff came up with a detailed plan for this. In addition, the cabinet must also start implementing the newly merged territories into the empire, the division of administrative regions, as well as immigration and infrastructure construction as soon as possible!" Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Your Majesty! However, now the national treasury is out of money, and we need to wait for the compensation to arrive before we can start implementing various plans!" said Yang Hua, Prime Minister of the Cabinet. In this war, China also spent a lot of military expenditures.
, all added up, it cost more than one billion Chinese dollars, equivalent to more than 400 million pounds. However, fortunately, with so much war compensation, we can make up for this cost, and even make a profit.
Quite a few.
"How is the current financial situation?" Wang Yuze looked at Finance Minister Wang Wenhua.
"Your Majesty, after issuing billions of national bonds, the current financial situation of the empire is quite good. However, it can only guarantee the normal operation of the country and future military operations. If we want to carry out large-scale foundation in the new occupied areas
The Ministry of Finance cannot support the construction of facilities!" Finance Minister Wang Wenhua said.
"Don't worry, this situation will be resolved soon. The Russians have already begun to prepare gold, and the Minister of War has arranged for a troop escort. Once the gold arrives, various plans can be launched. In addition, the French
war reparations have been paid. Americans’ war reparations will soon begin to be paid.
Soon the Ministry of Finance will no longer have to worry about lack of money!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. The combined war reparations of France, the United States and Russia alone amounted to 550 million pounds, equivalent to 2.2 billion pounds
Hua Yuan. Coupled with the subsequent war reparations extorted from Britain and the harvest in Japan, it will also be a huge wealth.
"Your Majesty, although this war compensation is large, one billion yuan must be prepared first to repay the national debt that will mature in three years! At the same time, the construction of the railway network and highway network in the southern region of the country that has been delayed also requires a large amount of money.
A sum of funds. In addition, if we want to carry out infrastructure construction, railways, highways, immigrant settlements, etc. in the newly occupied areas, we will need at least about 2 billion yuan. Therefore, it is still far from obtaining war reparations at present.
It’s far from enough!” Prime Minister Yang Hua said.
Wang Yuze was stunned. Originally, he thought that after receiving such a large sum of war compensation, his life would be much better in the future and he would no longer have to tighten his belt. But now it seems that it is completely different from what he expected. 9
There are so many places that cost money!
"Your Majesty, the losses of the Imperial Army in this war were also very heavy. In addition, the Empire has now become mortal enemies with Britain, France, the United States and Russia. In the future, further cold armaments will be needed. Therefore, the war compensation received
Among them, some must be left for the army!" Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo also said quickly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
