"Play the white flag, I'll go on the ice myself, I'll go to negotiate with Tephin! Bring a batch of gold, I want to see how greedy this bastard is!"

Fajev turned over and got off the horse and was about to get on the ice, but all the officers around him grabbed him, "No! You are the commander of the army, you can't take risks in person, let's go!"

Fajev shook his head, "No, we don't have time to waste this kind of negotiation and confrontation. Look at how our brothers are tired..."

Chekov, Ashavin and other officers looked around. The soldiers who came from Central Asia, who were facing the wind and snow, were already haggard and looked unsatisfied.

The soldiers had high cheekbones and their cheeks were thin and collapsed. As long as the war horses stopped, they would eat the grass in the snow. During the marching of the large army, there were always exhausted war horses that fell to the ground. The soldiers would rush up like ants and divide the horse meat as military rations.

"Look, this is our soldiers, loyalty, bravery, and perseverance... But they are also humans, and they have their limits. We must find supplies. Even if we buy them with all the gold, we must find military rations for our soldiers and find horse materials for our war horses!"

"No one of you can go. In order to give Tephin a face, I must go and talk in person! Fighting the white flag...what can it be that if you make these Qing slaves happy once?"

What else is there to say? The guards got a ragged shirt, tore it apart and tied it to the flagpole, and accompanied Commander Fajeev's Legion to the ice.

Then the afterglow of the sunset, Fajeev looked carefully at the grooves on the ice surface. He couldn't help but exclaim, "These Chinese are really geniuses in farming. Look at the repair of the ice surface, just like farmland and crops..."

The fields are crisscrossed and the longitude and latitude are straight like a knife cutting an axe chopping. The deep ice trough is completely the same width, narrowness and depth, and even the black soil and charcoal sprinkled inside are evenly thick and thin.

If these Tsarist Russians were given the same job, let alone a day, even if the number of people doubled, it would not be possible to complete it.

"It's really not okay if you don't accept it. These Chinese people are born to create wealth! We Tsarist Russia feel inferior to ourselves... But it doesn't matter. We have a strong army, so we can naturally squeeze wealth from these people. This is our way of survival..."

Fajeev nodded, and the flag bearer and translator began to shout in Chinese on the ice, "Negotiation... Our army commander wants to meet your highest commander... We want to negotiate! Let General Tephin come to see us..."

"Not armed, we only have two people, and we are not armed!"

They shouted all the way and moved forward all the way. After walking to the exhausted rocket bushes, the two stopped.

Soon, two people walked down the river bank opposite, and the man with the tower was Hunchun, followed by a translator.

After the four people met at the middle of the river, the bonfires and torches on the north and south sides had gathered into a brilliant galaxy, and the sky was completely dark.

Hunchun brought a lot of lighting torches, which were lit and inserted on the top of the snow pile on the ice. More than ten torches were bright around them.

"This is General Tepuxin, right? Heilongjiang's highest military and political chief? I am Fajeev, the commander-in-chief of the Central Plains reinforcements... I would like to pay tribute to you!" After saying that, Fajeev touched the heel of his boots and gave a simple salute.

This has given enough face to the Qing people. How could the proud Rakshasa ghost ever take the initiative to salute Qing officials?

Hunchun suddenly laughed as he listened to the translated Chinese. It turned out that the other party regarded him as Tepxin. No wonder the world's intelligence transmission efficiency was slow. Tepxin had just been arrested for a day, so it was normal for these Cossacks to not know about it.

"General Fajeev, what's wrong with you coming to our Aihui?" Hunchun said sarcastically.

Fajeev was stunned, "General, I don't understand what you mean! Do you not know when I come here? The Qing court has agreed to our request for accession, and even I have 20,000 vanguards who have crossed Heilongjiang and headed straight to the south. You are now asking me why I am here?"

Hunchun smiled badly, "Of course, the court allowed you to cross the border, but it did not allow you to hurt our citizens! Gogol and Fumanov were the ones? They hurt many of us and other property. How do you calculate it?"

Fajeev knew that he was going to ask for bribes as soon as he heard this. He was contemptuous but still had a smile on his face, "General, tens of thousands of troops have passed by. If there is no damage at all, you know that this is unrealistic. If the war horses trampled on them, several acres of manors would have to be damaged!"

"Has Gogol told you before that we will compensate you for all losses? Have you not received the previous deposit? That's a total of 4,000 taels of gold..."

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

Fajeev was so angry that his muscles in his eyes trembled. He thought that the Qing Guoshu was indeed shameless. He dared to say that he would not be ashamed at all if he asked for bribes, but the situation was stronger than others and he would have to be a ninja.

Nodded, the translator untied a backpack from his back, and the heavy package hit the ice. After it was opened, a golden light shone.

"This is one thousand taels of gold, which is my deposit for you. After this war, I will pay you the final payment of ten thousand taels of gold. What do you think?"

"One thousand taels? Is the commander of the Central Asian Cossack Army just like this?" Hunchun said pretending to be angry.

Fajev nodded, "Of course there is gold. I still have 16,000 taels of gold behind me, but I can't give you one... I want to ask you to sell us food and horse materials, the more the better!"

When Hunchun heard the number of 16,000 taels, he was stunned at the time. China has been rare since ancient times, and the official exchange ratio is nominally a one-way comparison, but that was the price comparison when silver was short during the Kangxi period.

With the improvement of the national strength of the Qing Dynasty and the frequent foreign trade, the value of gold has been rising all the way. Now one tael of gold on the market can be exchanged for more than twenty taels of silver.

Fajev took out more than 300,000 taels of silver to buy horse materials and food. This deal was really cost-effective.

After taking a closer look at the gold on the ground, Hunchun's heart sank. There are some goldware used for daily use, including jewelry, gold cups, ornaments and even decorations on saddles. You can smell the bloody smell on it more than one meter away from Hunchun.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is all stolen from the Mobei Grassland!"

Fajev frowned, "The general is talking a little too much. You don't need to ask how the gold comes. Can't we come from taxes?"

"I am frank, General Tephin, you have earned a lot of gold and silver from us over the years. Is that money not bloody? Don't challenge my patience, otherwise your private business will probably be in sight..."
