Chapter 2866

In the Liaodong War that lasted for twenty years, Haihan was the undisputed victor, so Chen Yixin showed a very tough attitude when facing the Manchu envoys.

He did not leave room for bargaining with Geng Jimao, but demanded that the other party meet several conditions he listed, and announced that until the Qingyang Fort incident was properly handled, the border trade activities between the two parties in the area would be temporarily suspended, and all personnel

Neither goods nor goods are allowed to enter the border.

When Geng Jimao heard Chen Yixin's announcement that he would interrupt border trade, his expression became even more bitter: "Mr. Chen, gangsters are robbing border trade goods. This is a situation that neither country wants to see. But if border trade is interrupted, wouldn't it cause negative consequences?"

The impact has been magnified a hundred times? In my humble opinion, it is better for the two countries to jointly strengthen border patrols and ensure the safety of border trade activities, in order to eliminate security risks."

Chen Yixin responded coldly: "Master Geng, I think your country has not fully realized the seriousness of this matter. It may be better to stop border trade activities first and make all the stakeholders in your country suffer."

It will help the two countries reach a consensus as soon as possible and resolve the Qingyangbao incident as soon as possible."

The goods exported from Qingyangbao to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were not only supplied to the Xianghongqi family. In addition to many Manchu and Qing tribes in the nearby areas, there were also Mongolian tribes such as Horqin, who would also repurchase some from Manchu merchants.

Haihan products.

In addition, the Haixi Jurchen and Beishan Jurchen tribes further north also need to obtain various living materials they need through these trading channels in the south.

Once the border trade activities of Qingyang Fort are interrupted for a long time, problems will arise in the supply of daily necessities in the northern region. Without the salt, sugar, cigarettes, wine and other supplies provided by Haihan, the tribes far away from the city of Hetuala may not be able to return.

I can stay in my own territory honestly.

By then, whether there are internal fights among tribes for supplies, or troops are sent south to target Haihan, it is definitely not a scene that the Qing government wants to see. Maybe there will not be much chaos on the border, but there will be internal chaos within the Qing Dynasty.

There was chaos first.

The Qing government was well aware of the possible serious consequences of the impact on border trade, so it sent Geng Jimao to Shenyang to quell Chen Yixin's anger. But judging from Chen Yixin's current tone, the situation was obviously worse than the Qing government thought.

More serious.

Geng Jimao had a mission, so he naturally did not dare to let go. He continued to beg Chen Yixin with a grimace to consider the actual situation of the Manchus and Qing Dynasty and not to interrupt the border trade activities in the area. As for the other conditions mentioned by Chen Yixin before, they can all be discussed.

.

When Bai Kesi saw Chen Yixin wink at him, he immediately understood that it was time for him to appear on the stage and be the popular face.

Bai Kesi coughed dryly and said: "The trade activities between our country and the Qing Dynasty can be said to be an important condition for maintaining a peaceful state since the signing of the armistice agreement. The people of the two countries can also settle down and engage in production activities without worrying about being displaced.

No longer being massacred by war, this good situation is hard-won and should not be easily interrupted."

Geng Jimao heard a glimmer of hope in Bai Kesi's tone, and quickly responded: "Yes, yes, Master Bai is absolutely right. I believe your country has also witnessed our country's attitude towards border trade activities in recent years. The incident at Qingyang Fort

It was just an accident and should not affect the normal trade activities between the two countries. The top priority is to find out the facts of the case, severely punish the real culprits, and not to be distracted by other things."

Chen Yixin pretended to be hesitant and said: "But if strict measures are not taken, the gangsters may still find an opportunity to take advantage of it and continue to attack the trade caravans of the two countries."

Geng Jimao said: "I can immediately send someone back to the country to ask for orders, so that the capable personnel of the Red Flag Organization can be stationed near Qingyang Fort to assist your country in guarding the caravans. As for the other requests that Mr. Chen just made, they will be reported truthfully. , please make a decision from the imperial court. I believe that the imperial court will consider the hard-won peace between the two countries and will definitely give your country a satisfactory answer."

Geng Jimao did not dare to speak too fully, and it was his limit to be able to speak so much. Although he had the title of prince, after all, he was only of Han origin, and it was not his turn to make decisions on the national affairs of the Qing Dynasty. Besides, if the court has objections to the conditions proposed by Chen Yixin, and he says everything here, then he will have to take the blame.

It took the two sides half a day to finally roughly agree on the current emergency plan. Geng Jimao sent someone to quickly return the results of the talks to Hetuala City, and he followed Chen Yixin to Shenyang.

The several Manchu and Qing trading houses that unfortunately had their goods robbed, as well as the Manchu and Qing personnel who were killed or injured in the incident, all needed Geng Jimao to go to Shenyang to coordinate and handle the related aftermath. Of course, the most important thing was that he could work with them in Shenyang. Chen Yixin maintains communication at all times and handles any situation in a timely manner so as not to be passive again due to the timeliness of information transmission.

When Chen Yixin and his party returned to Shenyang, Sun Zhen had already led his troops to head north to Qingyang Fort.

All those who witnessed it, including the dead and wounded, have returned to Shenyang under the escort of the Haihan Army. Chen Yixin personally met with several survivors and learned from them in detail the ins and outs of the incident.

The intelligence personnel deployed by Haihan throughout the Liaodong region have also been mobilized. Whether it is the Ministry of Security, the Military Intelligence Bureau, or other intelligence dealers selling various underground information, they are all working on the Qingyangbao incident these days.

From Shenyang to Qingyang Fort, you can see reward notices posted by the government at various places along the way. Those who can accurately inform the person behind the Qingyang Fort case and assist in solving the case will be rewarded ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 yuan depending on the level of contribution. Bounty. If you can capture the bandit leader, you can even get a bounty of up to 100,000 yuan. The most important thing is that these bounties are not only available to Haihan citizens. Manchu and Qing people are also eligible to receive bounties if they can provide useful information. , and Haihan can provide asylum for settlement and naturalization.

In the early years of the war between the two countries, there were countless bounties on each other's important figures. However, since the signing of the armistice agreement, this is the first time that Haihan has officially issued a bounty order. And under Haihan's deliberate manipulation, the news has been It spread throughout the Qing Dynasty.

The lost goods are worth more than 200,000 yuan, but these goods can only be sold quietly on the black market. The value will inevitably be greatly reduced and cannot be compared with public sales. There are hundreds of participants in this robbery, even if the mastermind is completely The distribution is evenly distributed according to the number of people, and each person only earns a few hundred yuan.

This income may not be a small amount for those gangsters with herdsman origins, but compared with the bounty issued by Haihan, it is dozens or hundreds of times different. It is not necessary to know how much attention such a large bounty can attract. Say more.
