Chapter 48 The forty-eighth round of Duhu Yumen Pass does not set a heavy mark on the general's copper pillars
That night Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er went to sleep in the bedroom of the governor's mansion, the fire was very lively, the fox was covered with sable mattresses, the whole room was full of spring.
This was his old place of travel. He opened the lid of the big wooden box next to the bed and saw that there were military uniforms and guns in the box.Shuang'er smiled and said: "My husband hopes that another Princess Raksha will come out of the box, isn't he?" Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "You are a Chinese princess, much better than Princess Raksha." Shuang'er laughed and said: "It's a pity you The Chinese princess is in Beijing, not here." Wei Xiaobao said: "My good Shuang'er, do we consider 'you're done' today?" Shuang'er smiled sweetly, her cheeks flushed.Although she has been married to Wei Xiaobao for a long time, she still feels shy when she hears her husband teasing her.
Wei Xiaobao put his arms around her waist, and they sat on the edge of the bed.Wei Xiaobao said: "You spent a lot of hard work putting together the map, and we finally got Luding Mountain. The emperor named me Lord Luding. This city is probably under my control. There are countless gold jewels hidden under the mountain. Baby, let's dig it out slowly, and I, Wei Xiaobao, have to change my name to 'Wei Duobao'." Shuang'er said: "My husband already has a lot of gold and silver, and I can't use them up in a few lifetimes. No matter how many jewels, they are useless I think it's better to be Wei Xiaobao."
Wei Xiaobao kissed her lightly on the face, and said: "Yes, yes! These days, I have been undecided. If I dig the treasure, I am afraid that I will dig up the dragon veins of Manchuria and kill the emperor. The emperor has always treated me well. , killed him, I feel sorry for him. It’s a pity not to dig the treasure. So, let’s not dig the treasure for the time being. When the emperor ascends to heaven, we will be so poor that we will be hungry again. Then it’s not too late to dig. .”
As soon as I said this, I suddenly heard a slight click in the wooden box.The two of them winked and stared at the wooden box. After a while, there was no more movement.Wei Xiaobao patted his palms three times, Shuang'er went to open the door, and the four guards outside the door bowed to obey the order.Wei Xiaobao pointed at the wooden box and said in a low voice, "There are people inside!"
The four soldiers were taken aback, rushed to the side of the box, opened the lid, only to find that the box was full of clothes.Wei Xiaobao made a gesture, the soldiers moved away the clothes, uncovered the bottom of the box, revealing a big hole, at this moment, there was a loud bang, and a gun was shot out of the hole.A soldier let out an "ah", was shot in the shoulder, and fell backwards.
Shuang'er hastily pulled Wei Xiaobao behind her.Wei Xiaobao pointed to the charcoal stove, making a gesture of dumping.A personal soldier went over to pick up the charcoal stove and poured it down into the cave.
I could only hear someone in the cave yelling in Rakshasa dialect: "Don't throw fire, surrender!" followed by coughing.Wei Xiaobao shouted in Raksha dialect: "Throw the musket up first, and then climb out." A short blunderbuss was thrown from the hole, followed by a Raksha soldier.A soldier grabbed his hair and pulled it, another soldier put a knife on his neck, the soldier's beard was on fire, and it didn't go out, he only screamed in pain, and crawled out in a panic.Wei Xiaobao asked: "Is there anyone else down here?" Someone in the cave shouted: "There is one more! Surrender! Surrender!" Wei Xiaobao shouted: "Throw the gun up!" A white light flashed at the entrance of the cave, and a saber was thrown up, followed by a ball of fire When he came out, it turned out that the Luocha soldier had burned his hair.
The guards outside the door heard that there were police officers in the Marshal's room, and several people rushed in.Seven or eight personal soldiers grabbed two Luocha soldiers, extinguished the flames on their hair and beards, and tied them behind their backs.
Wei Xiaobao suddenly pointed at a Rakshasa soldier and shouted: "Hey, you are a bastard." The soldier's face showed joy, and he said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Chinese children, I am Wabsky." Another The Raksha soldiers also shouted: "Master Chinese kid, I...I am Zilonov." Wei Xiaobao stared at him for a long while, and saw that his beard was burnt to pieces and his face was red and swollen from ironing. But he finally recognized it, and said with a smile, "That's right! You are a coward!" Zilonov was overjoyed, and exclaimed, "Yes, yes! Chinese children and adults, I am your old friend."
Both Wabsky and Zilonov are Princess Sofia's bodyguards.Back then in Yaksa City, he went to Moscow with Wei Xiaobao.The two rebelled with the musketeers in the Hunting Palace, and they really made some contributions.After Princess Sophia took charge of the state affairs, she rewarded the mediocre servants of the dragon and promoted all the guards around her to be captains.Four of them came to the east to make meritorious deeds and plunder.When the soldiers were defeated and the city was broken, one died in battle and the other died of freezing.The remaining two people quietly hid in the tunnel and wanted to escape out of the city, but they didn't know that the exit of the tunnel outside the city had already been blocked, the two of them could not advance or retreat, and finally their signs were exposed.Back then, Wei Xiaobao called them "bad chickens" and "pigs and cowards" respectively.The two didn't know what it meant, they only thought that the Chinese child's pronunciation was not correct, so they agreed.Hearing the princess called him "Chinese kid", at first he followed the common address. After Wei Xiaobao made great achievements, the princess conferred the title on him, and the guards called him "Master Chinese kid".
Wei Xiaobao asked about the origin, ordered his soldiers to untie them and take them out to fetch food and drink.
All the soldiers were afraid that there might be spies in the tunnel, so they went in and searched, and found out that there was no other tunnel wall in the room, so they withdrew.The captain of the guards was terrified, and repeatedly confessed, thinking that it was a fluke, if these two Rakshasa soldiers came out of the tunnel in the middle of the night and stabbed Marshal Wei to death, he would have to kill everyone.
The next day Wei Xiaobao called Wabsky and Zilonov to ask about Princess Sophia's recent situation.The two said that Her Royal Highness, the Prime Minister, and the princes, ministers, generals and bishops of the Rakshasa country, no one dared to disobey.The two tsars were young, and they listened to their sisters in everything.Zilonov said: "His Royal Highness misses the Chinese children and adults very much, and told us to inquire about you. After we see you, please go to Moscow again. The princess will reward you a lot." Waboski said: "Your Highness the Princess doesn't know that Chinese children and adults are leading soldiers to fight, otherwise, we are dear sweethearts and good friends, and there is no need to fight this battle." Wei Xiaobao said: "You are talking nonsense and lying!" The two swore I swear that what I say is absolutely true, and that my determination is true.
Wei Xiaobao thought: "The emperor wanted me to try to make peace with the Raksha Kingdom, so why not ask these two guys to talk to Princess Sophia." He said: "I want to write a letter, and you send it to the princess. But I don’t know how to write Rakshasa earthworm characters, so you can write them for me.” Wabosky and Zilonov looked at each other with embarrassment, they only knew how to ride a horse and shoot a gun, but they didn’t know anything about writing with a pen .Zilonov said: "Chinese children and adults want to write love letters, we two can't do it. Let's... let's find a priest to write it." Wei Xiaobao agreed, and ordered his soldiers to take the two of them to Rakshasa. Find in.
Not long after, the two brought a bearded priest.At that time, most of the Rakshasa soldiers were illiterate. In addition to praying to God and boosting morale, the priests accompanying the army also had an important function, which was to write family letters for the soldiers and generals.The priest was wearing a Qing soldier's uniform, the clothes were too small and stretched tightly around his body, making him look ridiculous.He was trembling with fear, followed the two captains to see Wei Xiaobao, and said: "God bless the Chinese General, my lord, may the Chinese General's family be safe."
Wei Xiaobao asked him to sit down, and said: "You write me a letter, to your Princess Sophia." The priest agreed repeatedly.The soldiers had already placed the Four Treasures of the Study on the table.The priest held the brush in his hand, spread out the rice paper, and started to write the Raksha characters with twists and turns, but felt that the brush was extremely soft, and the strokes were thick and thin, which was indescribably awkward, but he dared not comment on Chinese brush and ink in a word. I'm afraid that this Chinese general will be angry.
Wei Xiaobao said: "You write like this: Since we parted, I have always missed the princess, and only wished to marry her as my wife..." The priest was startled, his hands trembled, and the brush smeared ink on the paper.Zilonov said: "This Chinese kid is the sweetheart of Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia. Her Royal Highness loves him very much. She often says that a Chinese lover is a hundred times better than a Raksha lover." its words.The priest said nonchalantly, "Yes, yes, it's better than a hundred times, a hundred times." He was restless and his writing was suffocated, but he didn't dare to think about it, so he had to write all the clichés he used every day. When I went up, it was full of nasty words written by Raksha soldiers to their wives and lovers in their hometown, such as "kiss, sweetheart", "I dreamed of you again last night", "kiss you ten thousand times", etc. And feet.
Wei Xiaobao was very satisfied when he saw that his writing was flying like a fly, and said: "You Luocha soldiers came to occupy my Chinese territory and killed many Chinese people. The emperor of China was very angry and sent me to lead the troops to kill all your soldiers and generals." I caught them. I will cut them into strips and burn them all into Shashunik..." The priest was taken aback, said "Ah", and said, "My God!" Wei Xiaobao continued: "But For the sake of your princess, don't cut or burn for the time being. If you promise that the Raksha soldiers will never invade our Chinese borders again, China and the Raksha Kingdom will always be good friends. If you are disobedient, I will send troops to kill Just your Raksha men, you don’t have any Raksha men to sleep with you anymore. If you want a man to sleep with you, there are only Chinese people in the world.”
The priest didn't take it seriously, and secretly said: "There are not only Raksha men in the world, but Chinese men. This sentence is too unreasonable." He also felt that such rude words must not be said to the princess, so he decided to rewrite a few sentences with respect and respect. If it is intimate, it is expected that the Chinese general will not know it.But he was cautious, fearing that his flaws would be discovered, so he wrote these lines into Latin, and after finishing writing, he couldn't help but smile.
Wei Xiaobao continued: "Right now, I'll send you this letter and presents from the bastards and pigs. You decide whether you want to be my lover or my enemy."
The priest changed the last sentence to be extremely respectful, and wrote: "The Chinese minister admires His Highness's kindness, and would like to offer tribute to show his loyalty. As long as I live, I will be an indistinguishable minister of Your Highness. I look forward to two The country is reconciled, and the soldiers and civilians captured by Luocha can return to their homeland, which is really a great kindness of His Highness." The last sentence was out of his selfishness, and he expected that if the two countries failed to reach a peace agreement, he and the rest of the Rakshasa descendants would surely die. A foreign land, never to return home.
Wei Xiaobao waited for him to finish writing, and said: "It's over. Read it for me." The priest held up the letterhead with both hands and read it. When he read what he rewrote, he still read Wei Xiaobao's original meaning.The Raksha dialect that Wei Xiaobao could speak was quite limited, it sounded pretty good, how could he dare to tamper with it at will?Then he nodded and said: "Very good!" He took out the gold seal letter of "Fuyuan Great General Wei Zhiyin", and stamped the red seal on the letter paper.This love letter is not like a love letter, and the official document is not like an official document.
Wei Xiaobao ordered the priest to go down to receive the reward, and told the master of the camp to put the envelope into a sleeve, and write Princess Sophia's name on the sleeve in Chinese characters.The master polished the ink thickly and dipped the pen full. The first line wrote: "Great General Lu Dinggong Wei Fengshu of Fuyuan, Qing Dynasty", and the second line read: "Her Royal Highness Princess Su Feixia, Princess Regent of the Eros Kingdom ". The word "Raksha" means "devil" in the Buddhist scriptures, and calling "Russia" by it is quite insulting, and it is called "Eros" in the documents.The teacher also felt that the word "Sophia" was not very elegant. The word "Fei" was reminiscent of "Fangcao Feifei", which seemed to mock her for being hairy all over, so he wrote "Su Feixia", which fits "Luoxia and Feifei". The code of "Lonely Birds Flying Together" also has the beauty of "flying clouds blowing against the face"; "Princess Gulun" is the most noble title for princesses in the Qing Dynasty. The emperor's sister is the eldest princess, and the emperor's daughter is the princess. This woman is the regent. There are two sisters who stand side by side with the tsar, and they are naturally the first-class princess.After hearing this, Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "Princess Luocha has something to do with me. I haven't seen her for a few years. I don't know how she is?" The master wrote two more lines on the envelope: "Husband and Rongdi, the blessing of the country is also Like the harmony of music, everything is in harmony, please enjoy it with your son." I thought this is the words in "Zuo Zhuan", but it is a pity that Luocha is a country of Rong and Di, and may not be able to understand the scriptures of my Chinese kingdom. There is no need to explain the meaning of the pun. If you show the blind eyes with pretty eyebrows, it is inevitable that you will sigh "the bright pearl is cast in the dark".
In fact, not only "Su Feixia, Princess Gulun of Eros Kingdom" is determined not to understand the meaning of these Chinese characters, but even "Grand General Luding Gongwei of Fuyuan of the Qing Dynasty", besides knowing her own name and the two characters for "person", Besides, he was also illiterate. Seeing that the teacher had written words on both the front and back of the envelope, he said: "Enough, enough. Your handwriting is very good, better than Raksha's bearded man."
He ordered the master to prepare a batch of expensive gifts, fortunately they were all captured from the city of Yaksa, so he didn't need to spend a penny.Then the two captains, Huabosiji and Zilonov, were sent, and they were asked to select a hundred people from Rakshasa to serve as the guards, and immediately went to Moscow to deliver the letter.The two captains were overjoyed, they couldn't stop bowing to thank them, then took Wei Xiaobao's hand, and kissed the back of his hand repeatedly.The backs of Wei Xiaobao's hands were itchy from the beards of the two of them, and he couldn't help laughing.
The city of Yakesa is small and cannot accommodate large troops stationed there. Now Wei Xiaobao discussed with the imperial envoy and Suo'etu and sent Lang Tan and Lin Xingzhu to lead 2,000 troops to defend the city. The city is waiting for the decree.When Wei Xiaobao was leaving, he solemnly told Lang Tan and Lin Xingzhu not to dig wells or tunnels in Yaksa City.
The army marched south.Wei Xiaobao, Suo'etu, Pengchun and others were stationed in Yuanhui, while Sabusu led another army and stationed in Humar.Wei Xiaobao ordered Rakshasa's soldiers to change into Qing army uniforms, sent people to teach Chinese, and ordered them to recite sentences such as "Long live my emperor", "Long live the holy emperor", "The Chinese emperor's virtue is universal, and the emperor's grace is mighty" and so on. They were very familiar, and then sent troops to Beijing, asking them to shout all the way on Jingshi Street, and even louder when they met Kangxi, saying that the louder they shouted, the greater the reward from the emperor.
After more than 20 days, Kangxi issued an edict to reward the soldiers who went to the expedition, Wei Xiaobao was promoted to the second-class Lord Lu Ding, and the rest of the soldiers were rewarded.The imperial envoy who delivered the decree handed over to Wei Xiaobao a wooden box sealed with wax lacquer, which was a royal gift from the emperor.Wei Xiaobao kowtowed to thank him, he opened the wooden box, he couldn't help being stunned.Inside the box was a golden rice bowl.The four characters "Gong Zhong Ti Guo" are engraved on the bowl, which seems to be given to him by Shi Lang back then, but the pattern and handwriting are all damaged, but they have been repaired completely. Wei Xiaobao remembered that this golden rice bowl was placed in the Earl's residence in Tongmao'er Alley back then, and he fled in a panic that night without taking it out, after contemplating it, he understood the reason.It must be that after the bombardment of the Earl's Mansion that night, the sergeant of the Qianfeng Battalion made a list of the damaged remains in the mansion and submitted it to the emperor.Although the golden rice bowl was damaged, it was not melted.Kangxi ordered the craftsman to repair it, and gave it to him again, which naturally meant: Your golden rice bowl has been broken once, so you must hold it carefully this time, and don't break it again.Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "The little emperor is very loyal to me. We have contacts, and I will not dig out his veins." That night there was a banquet for imperial envoys, all the generals accompanied each other, and after the banquet, they started gambling. More than a month later, Kangxi came again, this time he reprimanded Wei Xiaobao, saying that Wei Xiaobao acted nonsense, asked Raksha to surrender and shouted "Longevity is boundless", it is really boring.The Shangyu said: "He who is a king and a shepherd should have a heart of heaven and love the people. Although Rakshasa is a barbaric country, its small people are also human beings. Since they have surrendered and surrendered, they should not be insulted and humiliated again. You As a minister, I must advise you to be kind and loving for the people. If I benefit everyone, I will be a wise ruler even if I don’t live long. If I am arrogant and cruel, I will live forever and suffer the world. The minister flatters the evil and sycophants, causing the king to be immoral. The crime is the greatest, and it should be admonishment." This time Wei Xiaobao flattered the horse's foot and got a bad nose, but fortunately he had a thick skin and didn't take it seriously, he cursed himself to be damned to the imperial envoy who delivered the decree, thinking: "There is no one in the world who doesn't like wearing a tall hat It must be that these Raksha soldiers don't speak Chinese well, and they confused the emperor and made him angry." Several masters who taught the Raksha soldiers Chinese were called and scolded.After cursing, he opened the table and gambled with them, throwing a few dice and throwing Kangxi's admonition out of the blue.
After a few months, winter ends and spring comes.Although Wei Xiaobao lives comfortably in Yuanhui, he still misses Ake, Su Quan and other wives and Hutou and other children, and he once sent his own soldiers and sent things home.The six wives also brought their clothes and supplies. We all know that he is illiterate, but the letters from his family were both exempted. He just ordered the soldiers to bring a message, saying that the family is safe and sound, and hope that the commander will return in triumph as soon as possible. On this day, another imperial edict was issued in Beijing, appointing Wei Xiaobao and Suo'etu as peace negotiating ministers to negotiate a peace treaty with the Raksha Kingdom, and also dispatching Tong Guogang, the commander of the Han army in Xianghuang Banner, Ma La, and Shang Shu. Arni and Zuodu Yushi Maqi helped each other. After Tong Guogang had finished reading the edict, he took out another official document and read it out, but it was the letter of credence given to Kangxi by the two tsars of the Raksha Kingdom. At this time, it had been translated into Chinese by the Dutch missionaries in Beijing.The national book says: "I would like to present to you Fuyuan Huaxia, overflowing the world, leading the virtuous ministers to rule together, dividing the territory, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and the reputation spread far and wide. Let Niguo come and wait to write a letter to Tianchao Tonghao, because he is ignorant of Chinese rituals, language and behavior, vulgar and ignorant, and I hope to forgive him. To praise the emperor, it is absurd and impolite, and it is also due to the remoteness and ignorance of the ceremony. Fortunately, there was no crime. The emperor gave the book in the past, and there was no one who understood it in the country. He did not follow the reason. And Ni Guolai and others asked about it, but the ministers of the heavenly dynasty did not return it. Harassing the frontier is a word. I recently heard that the emperor raised his troops and humiliated the border, which is not a good idea. If the people on the border of the next country start a quarrel and make trouble, the heavenly court will send an envoy to expressly punish the crime, so why bother to go to war? The decree, beginning to understand the commission, then ordered the soldiers sent by the next country not to fight at that time. I respectfully ask those who have observed the chaos in our country to send back the righteous law. In addition to sending envoys to agree on the border, the end of the shilling, the Buddha's son Wei Niu Stars such as Gao, Yifan, Faerova, etc. rushed to write books. Begging to withdraw from the siege of Yaksa, they still wrote books in detail and told them to the next country. Then everything will go to bed and be watched forever. Your Excellency Wei Xiaobao, Minister of the Upper Kingdom In the past, I saw that my imperial sister, Queen Sophia, the regent, came to Moscow, my capital, to set things right, and made great contributions to the lower country. This is the benefit of the upper country, and the monarchs and ministers of the lower country dare not forget it. I sincerely respect it. , Dedicated to His Majesty the Great Sage Emperor, and presented to His Excellency Minister Wei Xiaobao with the second most important gift, to show the sincerity and peace of the country." (Note: This is recorded in the Russian National Book from the historical records, which is correct, but the last paragraph about Wei Xiaobao Those who say, I am afraid that it is the words of novelists, or they may not be fully believed.) After Tong Guogang read the Guoshu, the master explained the meaning of the book to Wei Xiaobao and the generals in detail.This is a common practice in the army, the exchange of documents, the writing is sometimes quite difficult, and many officers and officers are illiterate, even those who have read books for a few years, their knowledge is quite limited. There is a misunderstanding, and the relationship is very important, so the Manchurian military system has regulations for the interpretation of documents by the master. Tong Guogang said with a smile: "The Queen Regent of the Raksha Kingdom has nostalgia for Marshal Wei, and she has sent a lot of gifts. The emperor ordered the brothers to bring them together and hand them over to Marshal Wei." Wei Xiaobao cupped his hands and said, "" Thank you, thank you." He said again: "Raksha people don't understand etiquette, they don't say their gifts are light, but they brag about themselves, saying that gifts are heavy, and the gift to the emperor is a heavy gift. What kind of gift is it for me? Not afraid of being laughed at." Tong Guogang said: "Yes. The Rakshasa surrendered by Marshal Wei to the capital was interrogated by the Emperor himself, and it was discovered that there was a Rakshasa official among the soldiers..." Wei Xiaobao said "ah", and shouted: " Is there such a thing?" Tong Guogang said: "This man is very cunning, he is mixed among the soldiers, and he does not show any emotion. On that day, the emperor interrogated the descendants one by one, and a Dutch missionary was the interpreter. The soldier said a few words in Latin. One of the soldiers who descended from Rakshasa suddenly showed surprise on his face. The emperor asked him if he understood Latin, but the soldier shook his head. The emperor then said in Latin: "Pull this soldier Go out and behead.' The soldier's face changed drastically, he knelt down and begged for mercy, and confessed that he knew Latin." Wei Xiaobao asked: "What is the Latin language? How could the emperor say what the Raksha people said when they were pulling the army rations?" Tong Guogang said: "The emperor is smart and wise. He knows everything. The Raksha people said when pulling the strong men If you say it, you will say it." Wei Xiaobao said: "Why does the emperor not understand what the Raksha people usually say, but he can say what the Raksha people say?" Tong Guogang couldn't answer, and said with a smile: "We don't understand the reason for this. Next time the commander-in-chief meets the emperor, please kowtow and ask." Wei Xiaobao nodded and asked: "What happened to that Raksha man? " Tong Guogang said: "The emperor interrogated carefully, and the man finally couldn't hide it, and revealed it a little bit. It turns out that this man is called Yarchinsky, and he is the governor of the two cities of Nerchinsk and Yaksa." When everyone heard it, they couldn't help but let out an "ah".Wei Xiaobao said: "This guy's official is not small." Tong Guogang said: "Isn't it? Among the officials sent by the Raksha Kingdom in the east, he is the most important. When the city of Yaksa is destroyed, he must be a soldier. He even concealed it from him." Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said with a smile: "On the day the city of Yaksa was captured, the generals, soldiers, officials, and officials of the Rakshasa all took off their clothes. It's all the same thing, there is really no difference. It doesn't mean that the official is a big one, and the words are big. Brother... it's not our fault that the high official can't recognize him." The generals laughed and explained to Tong Guogang the scene of breaking Yaksa City that day. Tong Guogang laughed and said: "So that's the case, it's no wonder. The emperor said: Wei Xiaobao has made a lot of contributions in capturing the governors of Nerchinsk and Yaksa cities in the Raksha Kingdom, but he thinks that this person is just an ordinary soldier, and he is too foolish in his work. There is no reward or punishment for this matter." Wei Xiaobao stood up and said respectfully, "I am extremely grateful for the emperor's kindness." Tong Guogang said: "The emperor interrogated this Archinsky for six days in a row. He interrogated every detail about the military and political affairs of the Raksha Kingdom, the territory and property. A secret was found on his body. Marshal Yi Wei said that when this man was captured, he was naked, so he had a way to hide secret documents." Wei Xiaobao scolded: "His grandma, this Er Er really has a lot of tricks. Next time I see him, I have to make him look good. Where is this secret document hidden? Is it hidden in a fart... a fart ..." Tong Guogang said: "Before Luocha descended to the court to meet the emperor, the imperial guards searched his whole body carefully, touched his hair and beard, and took off his pants and boots to see clearly. Fanbang people have ulterior motives. Sharp weapon, is that okay? Of course, this Yarchinsky has searched carefully, and there is nothing else on him. But the emperor saw a bulge on his right shoulder, and he looked sideways at him from time to time, so he asked What is it on his arm? Yarchinsky pulled up his sleeves and tied a thick bandage on his arm, saying that he was injured in Yaksa City. The emperor told him to come forward and squeezed his arm hard. A hand. Yarchinsky yelled 'Ouch', but there was no pain in his voice." Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "Interesting, interesting! The Rakshasa ghost's injury is fake." Tong Guogang said: "Isn't it? The emperor immediately ordered the guards to take off the bandage on his arm. Yarchinsky's face was ashen, and his whole body was shaking with fright. Marshal Wei, guess what is hidden in the bandage?" Wei Xiaobao said: "You just mentioned the secret documents, is that the tone?" Tong Guogang clapped his hands and laughed, "Exactly. No wonder the emperor always praises you for being smart, and you can guess it right away. That's what was hidden in the Yarchinsky bandage. Yes, it is indeed a document, it is a secret edict given to him by the Czar of the Raksha Kingdom. The Emperor asked a Dutch missionary to translate it, and here is a copy of it.” He took out an official document from the envelope and read it aloud: "You should tell the Emperor of China that the Great Emperor, the dictatorship of all Great Russia, Little Russia, and Belarus, and His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, who is also a great king and many countries, have far-reaching imperial prestige, and the kings of many countries have surrendered to His Majesty the Supreme Ruler. The Emperor of China should also seek the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, the dictatorship of all Great Russia, Little Russia, and Belarus, and return to His Majesty's supreme rule. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely love the Emperor of China in the midst of his imperial grace, and To protect it from the enemy, the Chinese emperor can be exclusively attached to His Majesty the Great Sovereign, under the supreme rule of His Majesty the Russian Emperor, and will never change, and will be included in the tribute to the Great Sovereign. The people under His Majesty the Great Sovereign, etc., should You are allowed to do business freely in China and the two territories. For this reason, the Emperor of China should allow the envoys of His Majesty the Great Emperor to go unhindered, and write a reply to His Majesty the Great Emperor.” (Note: This is an authentic document, when Kangxi arrested the Russian envoys , was imprisoned for half a month and then deported back to the country. The document was confiscated and stored in the archives of the palace. For the original photo, see "Historical Materials in Russian Language of the Palace Museum") Tong Guogang read a sentence, Wei Xiaobao scolded: "Fart!" After he finished reading, Wei Xiaobao had already cursed dozens of "Fart". Tong Guogang said: "The emperor's edict: Luocha people are ambitious and extremely rude. The Luocha emperor who issued this secret edict is the father of the two tsars today. He is dead. At that time, he didn't know that we Chinese The Raksha people have suffered a lot now, and they don't dare to be as presumptuous as they used to be. But when negotiating peace with them, you have to be both soft and hard, and you can't ignore it." Wei Xiaobao said: "Exactly. The emperor ordered us to be ruthless. Slapped them a few times, kicked them a few times, patted their shoulders, and touched their backs." Tong Guogang said: "The queen regent is very cunning, she pretends not to know that Yaksa has attacked us Excuse me, saying that the Rakshasa soldiers have been ordered not to confront us. But the letter of credence has revealed its flaws, please send the captured Rakshasa people back to them for rectification." Wei Xiaobao laughed: "How can there be such a cheap one? What? She gave me a few mink furs and a few precious stones as a second gift, just to let us release her officers and soldiers." Tong Guogang said: "The emperor ordered: since the Raksha people are asking for peace, it's okay to negotiate peace with them, but we have to bring a large army there and make an alliance with them under the city." Wei Xiaobao asked, "What is an alliance under the city?" Tong Guogang said: "The two countries fought, and our army surrounded Fanbang's city. Fanbang asked for peace and concluded a peace treaty under his city. That is called an alliance under the city. Although this state is not considered a surrender, it is still an admission of defeat." Wei Xiaobao said: "That's how it is. Actually It is not difficult for us to send troops to take Nerchinsk down." Tong Guogang said: "The emperor's decree: it is quite sure to win a few more battles. However, Luocha is a big country in the world, and there are many small countries under its jurisdiction. If they lose in the east and lose their prestige, it is a All the small countries will be dissatisfied. If this is the case, Rakshasa will have to mobilize a large army to take revenge. There is another big country in the west of the Raksha Kingdom called Sweden, and the war with the Raksha Kingdom is imminent. If Raksha is at war on both sides at the same time, it will be a headache. We will take this opportunity to sign a peace treaty with him, and we will definitely gain a lot of money , at least one hundred years of peace in northern Xinjiang can be maintained." After Wei Xiaobao's victory, he really wanted to go all out, and even Nerchinsk also attacked. Hearing that the emperor agreed to Luocha's peace, he felt very unsatisfied, but this is the emperor's decision, what he wants to do, what? Thousands of miles away, it is difficult for me to disobey the order, so I thought again: "You are the emperor's uncle and my wife's uncle, and you are my elders. You are the first-class public, and I am just the second-class public. The last time I negotiated peace with the Raksha people, the emperor sent you to be my deputy, and the emperor gave me a lot of face." Tong Guogang's father, Tong Tulai, was the father of Kangxi's mother, Empress Xiaokang, and was a Han Chinese, so Kangxi's blood was half full and half Han.Tong Tulai was dead at this time, and Tong Guogang succeeded him as a first-class prince.Tong Tulai belonged to the Manchu Qing Dynasty when he was outside the customs in his early years. He belonged to the Yellow Banner with great military achievements and a great reputation, but Wei Xiaobao felt that his name was too bad. What is it?After Zhang Yan received the news that night, all the ministers gambled a few hands under the suggestion of Marshal Wei.Tong Guogang really lost, but the six hundred taels of silver bill was pushed out, he didn't care about it, and had no intention of gaining anything.Wei Xiaobao saw that he lost easily without any paternal style, he couldn't help being quite surprised, went back to his room, went to bed and slept, and then suddenly realized: "His name is Tong Guguang, and he said he was going to lose on the dominoes. This man The gambling is very good, you can make friends with him."
The next day Wei Xiaobao discussed with all the ministers, everyone said that since they want to make an alliance under the city, they might as well send the army away and wait for work at leisure.Wei Xiaobao nodded in agreement, and passed down the general order, Yuanhui and Humar City armies marched together to join forces at Nerchinsk City.It was already summer, the weather was warm and the snow was melting, making it very convenient for the army to travel. On this day, when we reached the bank of the Hailar River, the vanguard came to report that there was a small group of Luocha soldiers, and the leader of the troops asked to see the general.Wei Xiaobao heard the captain, it turned out to be Wabsky and Zilonov.Wei Xiaobao said happily: "Very good, very good! So it's a bastard and a coward." The two bowed and presented Princess Sophia's reply. The Rakshasa missionary was still in the Qing army camp at this time, in case of need.In order to negotiate and sign documents, Kangxi sent a Dutch missionary to help.Wei Xiaobao passed two priests into the account and ordered them to interpret the princess' reply letter. That Rakshasa priest tampered with the original meaning of Wei Xiaobao's love letter that day, at this moment he was very anxious, fearing that the princess' reply letter would reveal his flaws, so he quickly took the letter and read it again, so he was relieved.The Dutch missionary immediately translated the Rakshasa script into Chinese. The letter said: Since we parted, I have been thinking about it all the time, and I hope that after the signing of the peace agreement, Wei Xiaobao will go to Moscow to express his affection for the old friend.Since Wei Xiaobao was favored by the monarchs of the two countries, he must explain all kinds of misunderstandings, eliminate the estrangement, and establish the foundation for the eternal reconciliation of the two countries.The letter also said: China and Rakshasa are separated from the east and west, and they are great powers in the world. If they join forces and form an alliance, they can dominate the world, and no country can resist it.If the peace negotiation fails, a long-term war will inevitably hurt both sides.Therefore, I hope that Wei Xiaobao will bring about this matter, and he will definitely make great contributions to China, and the Raksha Kingdom will also be rewarded heavily.He also asked Wei Xiaobao to speak to the Emperor of China to release the soldiers of the Raksha Kingdom who were still captured, so that he could have a sweetheart reunion with his family. After the interpretation by the Dutch missionary was completed, Wei Xiaobao saw that Waboski and Zilonov were making eye contact, and knew that there was something wrong, so he ordered the two missionaries to withdraw, and asked, "What else do you have to say?" Ji Dao: "His Royal Highness wants us to tell the Chinese children and adults that Her Royal Highness misses you very much. Rakshasa men are not good. Chinese children and adults are number one in the world. We must invite you to Moscow." Wei Xiaobao snorted and thought: " This is Rakshasa soup, but you must never believe it." Zilonov said: "His Royal Highness has a few other matters that I need to ask the Chinese children and adults to handle. This is given to you by Her Royal Highness." As he spoke, he took a copper chain from his neck. Leather bag.The same goes for the Wabsky.It is thought that the two traveled a long distance and were afraid of getting lost, so they tied it around their necks with copper chains.The openings of the two leather pouches are locked with copper locks.Wabosky took another key from his belt and opened the brass lock of Zilonov's leather pouch.Zilonov also used his own key to open the brass lock of the leather pouch that Wabsky was carrying.The two respectfully placed the leather pouch on the table in front of Wei Xiaobao. Wei Xiaobao turned the leather bag upside down, with a sound of tinkling, dozens of precious stones were poured out, colorful and resplendent, all of them were huge rubies, sapphires and topaz.The other leather pouch contained diamonds and emeralds.Immediately, the tent is full of precious light, dazzling and blooming. Wei Xiaobao has seen countless jewels in his life, but he has never seen so many big gemstones gathered together, he said with a smile: "The princess gave me such an important gift, but I really can't bear it." (Note: According to The 25th issue of "Journal of Yenching" Liu Xuanmin wrote "China-Russia Early Trade Research", Russia sent ambassador Fedoro Gorovin to negotiate with China on the division of borders and repairs, and trade affairs. On the way to the east, Gorovin received a secret from the court Instructions, solemn instructions: If you can gain the benefits of doing business with China, the city of Yaksa may be handed over to China, and within the scope of not compromising the majesty of the Russian Emperor, you can secretly give gifts and bribes to the Chinese representatives.) Waboski said: "His Royal Highness said that if the Chinese children and adults achieve great things, there will be more expensive gifts for you: there will be Great Russia, Little Russia, Belarus, Cossacks, Tatars, Sweden, Persia, Poland, Ten beauties from Germany and Denmark, one from each country, all young and beautiful, all virgins, not widows, all given to Chinese children and adults." Wei Xiaobao laughed loudly, and said: "I can't cope with seven wives, and there are ten more beauties. Chinese children and adults will die immediately." Waboski said repeatedly: "No, no. These ten There are beautiful virgins, Her Royal Highness has already prepared them, we have seen them with my own eyes, all of them have faces like roses, skin like milk, and voices like nightingales." Wei Xiaobao was heartbroken and asked: "Your Highness wants me to do it. What's up?" Zilonov said: "The first thing is to reconcile the two countries, demarcate the border fairly, and never fight any more." 韦小宝心想：“小皇帝正要如此，这一件办得到。”皱起眉头，说道：“你们罗刹国西边，有一个瑞……瑞甚么国的，派来了使者，要和我们一起出兵，东西夹攻罗刹，把你们的国家平分了。那时候甚么大俄罗斯、小俄罗斯、不大不小中俄罗斯、黑俄罗斯、白俄罗斯、五颜六色花俄罗斯，各种美女要多少，有多少，也不用你们公主殿下送了。何况每样只送一名，太也寒蠢小气！” 两名罗刹队长一听，都大吃一惊。其时瑞典国王查理十一世在位，也是个英明有为的少年君主，整军经武，颇有意东征罗刹，日来大队兵马源源向东开拔。莫斯科朝廷中文武大臣正以此为忧，不料瑞典竟会想要和中国联盟。罗刹虽强，但如腹背受敌，那就大势去矣。 韦小宝见了两人脸色，知道自己虚晃一招，已然生效，便道：“可是我和公主殿下是甜心好朋友，怎能答应瑞甚么国的蛮子？现下我们中国皇帝还没拿定主意，如果罗刹国确然诚心求好，我可以赶瑞甚么国的使者回国。” 两名队长大喜，连称：“罗刹国十分诚意，半点不假。请中国小孩大人快快把瑞典国的使者赶出去，最好是一刀砍了他的头。” 韦小宝摇头道：“使者的头是砍不得的。何况他已送了我许多宝石、十几个美女，这一刀也砍不下去啊，是不是？”两位队长连声称是，心想：“原来瑞典国加意迁就，先送货，后收钱，这一手可比我们漂亮了。”又想：“幸亏中国小孩大人是我们公主的甜心，否则的话，这件事当真大大的糟糕。” 韦小宝问道：“公主殿下还要我办甚么事？”华伯斯基微笑道：“公主殿下真正想要中国小孩大人办的事，是要请你去莫斯科克里姆林宫公主寝室里去办的。”韦小宝嘿的一声，心道：“这是罗刹迷汤，简称罗刹汤，可喝不可信。”笑道：“原来你们罗刹男人都不中用。”齐洛诺夫道：“也不是罗刹男人不中用，不过公主殿下特别想念中国小孩大人。”韦小宝心道：“又是一碗罗刹汤。”说道：“既是这样，公主没别的事了？” 华伯斯基道：“公主殿下要请中国皇帝陛下准许，两国商人可以来往两国国境，自由通商。”齐洛诺夫道：“两国商人来往密了，公主就时时可以写信送礼给大人。”韦小宝心道：“他妈的，又是一碗。”说道：“这么说来，两国通商，公主是为私不为公？”齐洛诺夫道：“是，是，完全是为了中国小孩大人。”韦小宝道：“现下我不是小孩子了，你们不可再叫甚么中国小孩大人。”两人一齐深深鞠躬，说道：“是，是！中国大人阁下。”韦小宝微微一笑，道：“好了，你们下去休息。我们要去尼布楚，你们随着同去便是。” 两人都是一惊，相互瞧了一眼，心想：“中国大军到尼布楚去干什么？难道是去攻城吗？”韦小宝道：“你们放心。我答应了公主，两国和好，不再打仗就是了。”两人又一齐鞠躬，说道：“多谢中国小……不……大人阁下。” 华伯斯基又道：“公主听说中国的桥梁造得很好，不论多宽的大江大河，都可以用大石头造桥，下面不用石柱桥墩。公主心爱中国大人阁下，也爱上了中国的东西，因此请大人派几名造桥的工匠技师去莫斯科，造几座中国的神奇石桥。公主殿下天天见到中国石桥，在桥上走来走去散步，就好像天天见到大人阁下一般。” 韦小宝心想：“罗刹汤一碗一碗的灌来，再喝下去我可要呕了。公主特别看中了我们中国的石桥，那是甚么缘故？其中必有古怪，每不能上这个罗刹狐狸精的当。”说道：“公主想念我，石桥是不用造了，工程太大。我送她几条中国丝棉被、几个中国枕头便是，让她抱住了睡觉，就好像每天晚上有中国大人阁下陪着她。” 两名罗刹队长对望了一眼，脸上均有尴尬之色。齐洛诺夫道：“这个……好像……”华伯斯基脑筋较灵，说道：“大人阁下的主意极高，中国丝棉被、中国枕头就由我们带去，公主抱不到中国大人阁下，抱一抱中国丝棉被、中国枕头也是好的。不过丝棉被、枕头过得几年就破烂了，不及石桥牢固，因此建造石桥的技师，还是请大人派去。” 韦小宝听他二人口气，罗刹朝廷对造桥技师需求殷切，料想必有阴谋诡计。他不知中国造桥技师当时甲于天下，外国人来到中国，一见到建构宏伟的石桥，必定啧啧称异，赞赏不止，何以拱桥能横越江面，其下不需支柱，更觉神奇莫测。罗刹人盼望学到这门造桥方法，倒是出于艳羡中国科学技术之心，并无其他阴谋。（按：康熙十五年，俄国派斯巴塔雷NG Spatnary为钦差，率同宝石专家、药材专家来北京，提出多项要求，其中一条为：“中国准许俄国借用筑桥技师。”该钦差因不肯向康熙磕头，被清廷驱逐回国。）韦小宝心想：“你们越是想要的东西，老子越是不能给你。”说道：“知道了，下去罢！” 两名队长不敢再说，行礼退出。
不一日，罗刹钦差大臣费要多罗，在尼布楚城得报清军大至，忙差人送信，请清军在原地驻扎，他立即过来相会。（按：罗刹国议和钦差的姓名是费要多罗·果罗文Fedor A. Golovin，当时不知西人名先姓后之习，故中国史书称之为费要多罗。） 韦小宝道：“不用客气了，还是我们来拜客罢！”清军浩浩荡荡开抵尼布楚城下。萨布素、朋春、马喇分统人马，绕到尼布楚城北、城南、城西把守住了要道，既截断了尼布楚罗刹军的退路，又阻住西来援军。韦小宝亲统中军屯驻城东。中军流星炮射上天空，四面号炮齐响。 尼布楚城中罗刹大臣、军官、士卒望见清军云集围城，军容壮盛，无不气为之夺。费要多罗当即备了礼物，派人送别清军军中，并致书中国钦差大臣，说道两国皇帝已决定罢兵议和，此次会晤专为签订和约，双方军队不宜相距过近，以免引起冲突，有失两国交好之意。 韦小宝和众大臣商议。众人都说中华上国不宜横蛮，须当先礼后兵。韦小宝于是下令退兵数里，驻在什耳喀河以东；又令尼布楚城北、西、南三面的清军退入山中候令。 费要多罗见清军后撤，略为宽心，又再写了一通文书，提出四点相会的条件：一、会见之所设于尼布楚城与什耳喀河之间的中央：二、会见之日，两国钦差各带随员四十人；三、两国各出兵五百，俄军列于城下，清军列于河边；四、两国使节之护卫亲兵各以二百六十人为限，除刀剑外，不准携带火器。他所以提这四个条件，因清军势大，俄军人少，倘若双方不限人数，俄军必处下风。但罗刹兵火器厉害，如双方兵员相等，俄兵即占优势，料想对方不允，因此先行提出，规定卫兵只可携带刀剑。文书中又建议次日相会。 韦小宝和众大臣商议后，认为可行，当即接纳，连夜派兵搭起篷帐，作为会所。 次日清晨，韦小宝、索额图、佟国纲等钦差带同随员，率了二百六十名藤牌手，来到会所。只见尼布楚城城门开处，二百余骑哥萨克兵手执长刀，拥簇着一群罗刹官员驰来。这队骑兵人高马大，威风凛凛，清军的藤牌手都是步兵，相形之下，声势大为不如。 佟国纲骂道：“他奶奶的，罗刹鬼狡猾得很，第一步咱们便上了当。说好大家只带二百六十名卫兵，就只忘了说骑兵步兵。他们便多了二百六十匹马。”索额图道：“这件事提醒了咱们，跟罗刹鬼打交道，可得打起了十二万分的精神，只疏忽得半分，便着了道儿。” 说话之间，罗刹兵驰到近前。佟国纲道：“咱们遵照皇上嘱咐，事事要顾全中华上国是礼仪之邦，大家下马罢。”韦小宝道：“好，大家下马。”众人一齐下马，拱手肃立。罗刹钦差费要多罗见状，一声令下，众官员也俱下马，鞠躬行礼。双方走近。 费要多罗说道：“俄罗斯国钦差费要多罗，奉沙皇之命，敬祝大清国皇帝圣躬安康。”韦小宝学着他的说话，也道：“大清国钦差韦小宝，奉大皇帝之命，敬祝罗刹国沙皇圣躬安康。”再加上一句：“又祝摄政女王苏菲亚公主殿下美丽快乐。”费要多罗微微一笑，心想：“大清皇帝祝我们公主美丽快乐，这句颂词倒也希奇古怪，不过公主倘若听到了，想必喜欢。”两人互致颂词，介绍副使。双方译员译出。 韦小宝见罗刹官员肃立恭听，倒也礼貌周到，但二百六十名哥萨克骑兵昂然骑在马背，手持长刀，列成队形，一副居高临下的神情，隐隐有威胁之势，越看越有气，说道：“你们的卫兵太也无礼，见了中国大人阁下，怎不下马？”他说罗刹话文法颠倒，词句错落，但在恼怒之下，不及等译官译述，罗刹话冲口而出。费要多罗道：“敝国的规矩，骑兵在部队之中，就是见到了沙皇陛下，也不用下马的。” 韦小宝道：“这是中国地方，到了中国，就得行中国规矩。”费要多罗摇头道：“对不起，阁下错了。这是俄罗斯沙皇的领地，不是中国的地方。”韦小宝道：“这明明是中国地方，是你们强行占去的。”费要多罗道：“对不起，中国钦差大臣阁下误会了。这是俄国沙皇的领地。尼布楚城是俄罗斯人筑的。” 两国此次会议，原是划界争地，当地属中属俄，便是关键的所在。两个钦差大臣刚一见面，还没入帐开始谈判，就起了争执。 韦小宝道：“你们罗刹人在中国地方筑了一座城池，这地方就算是你们的了，天下哪有这个道理？”费要多罗道：“这是俄国地方，俄罗斯人在这里筑城，中国人不在这里筑城，这就证明这是俄国地方。中国钦差大臣阁下说这是中国地方，不知有甚么证据？” 尼布楚一带向来无所管束，中俄两国疆界也迄未划分，到底属中属俄，本来谁也没有证据。韦小宝听他问到这句话，不禁为之语塞，待要强辩，苦于说罗刹话辞不达意，寻常应答已感艰难，要巧言舌辩，如何能够？心中一怒，说道：“这是中国地方，证据多得很。”跟着便以扬州话骂道：“辣块妈妈，我入你罗刹鬼子十七八代老祖宗。”这一句话出口，扬州的骂人粗话便流水价滔滔不绝，将费要多罗的高祖母、曾祖母、以至祖母、母亲、姊妹、外婆、姨妈、姑母，人人骂了个狗血淋头。罗刹国费家女性，无一幸免。 中俄双方官员见中国钦差大臣发怒，无不骇然。只是他说话犹似一长串爆竹一般，别说费要多罗莫名其妙，连中国官员和双方译员也是茫然不解。韦小宝这些骂人说的话，全是扬州市井间最粗俗低贱的俗话，扬州的绅士淑女就未必能懂得二三成，索额图、佟国纲等或为旗人，或为久居北方的武官，却如何理会得？ 韦小宝大骂一通之后，心意大畅，忍不住哈哈大笑。 费要多罗虽然不懂他言语，但揣摩神色语气，料想必是发怒，忽见他又纵声大笑，更加摸不着头脑，问道：“请问贵使长篇大论，是何指教？贵使言辞深奥，敝人学识浅陋，难以通解，请你逐句慢慢的再说一遍，以便领教。”韦小宝道：“我刚才说，你太也不讲道理。我要你的祖母来做甜心，做老婆。” 费要多罗微笑道：“我祖母是莫斯科城出名的美人儿，她是彼得洛夫斯基伯爵的女儿。原来中国大人阁下也听到过我祖母的艳名，敝人实在不胜荣幸之至。只可惜我祖母已死了三十八年啦。”韦小宝道：“那么我要你母亲做我的甜心，做我老婆。” 费要多罗眉花眼笑，更是喜欢，说道：“我的妈妈出于名门望族，皮肤又白又嫩，她会做法国诗。莫斯科城里有不少王公将军很崇拜她。我们俄国有一位大诗人，写过几十首诗赞扬我的妈妈。她今年虽然已六十三岁了，相貌还是和三十几岁的少年妇人一样。中国大人阁下将来去莫斯科，敝人一定介绍你和我妈妈相识，要结婚恐怕不成，做甜心吗，只要我妈妈答应，那是可以的。”原来洋人风俗、如有人赞其母亲、妻子貌美，非但不以为忤，反而深感荣幸，比称赞他自己还要高兴。 韦小宝却道此人怕了自己，居然肯将母亲奉献，有意拜自己为干爹，满腔怒火登时化为乌有，笑道：“很好，很好。以后如来莫斯科，定是你府上常客。”拉着他手，走入帐中。 双方副使随员跟着都进了营帐。韦小宝等一行坐在东首，费要多罗等一行坐在西首。
费要多罗说道：“敝国摄政女王公主殿下吩咐，这次划界谈和，我们有极大诚意，双方必须公平，谁也不能欺了对方。因此敝国提出，两国以黑龙江为界，江南属于中国，江北属于俄罗斯。划定疆界之后，俄罗斯兵再也不能渡江而南，中国兵也不能渡到江北。”韦小宝问道：“雅克萨城是在江南还是江北？”费要多罗道：“是在江北。该城是我们俄罗斯人所筑，可见黑龙江江北之地，都是属于俄国的。” 韦小宝一听，怒气又生，问道：“雅克萨城内有座小山，你可知叫甚么名字？”费要多罗回头问了随员，答道：“叫高助略山。”韦小宝懂得罗刹语中“高助略”即为“鹿”，说道：“我们中国话叫做鹿鼎山。你可知我封的是甚么爵位？”费要多罗道：“阁下是鹿鼎公，用我们罗刹话说，就是高助略山公爵。”韦小宝道：“这样一来，你是存心跟我过不去了。明知我是鹿鼎公，却要把我的鹿鼎山占了去，岂不是要我做不成公爵么？”费要多罗忙道：“不，不，决无此意。” 韦小宝问道：“你是甚么爵位？”费要多罗道：“敝人是洛莫诺沙伐侯爵。”韦小宝道：“好，那么洛莫诺沙伐是属于中国的地方。”费要多罗吃了一惊，随即微笑道：“敝人的封邑洛莫诺沙伐尚在莫斯科之西，怎能是中国的地方？” 韦小宝道：“你说你的封邑叫作老猫拉屎法……”费要多罗道：“洛莫诺沙伐。”韦小宝不理他，继续说道：“从我们的京城北京，到老猫拉屎法一共有几里路？要走几天？”费要多罗道：“从洛莫诺沙伐到莫斯科，一共五百多里路，五天的路程。从莫斯科到北京，总得走三个月罢。”韦小宝道：“这样说来，从北京到老猫拉屎法，得走三个月零五天，路程是远得很了。”费要多罗道：“很远，很远！”韦小宝道：“这样的路程，老猫拉屎法当然不会是属于中国的了。”费要多罗微笑道：“公爵说得再对没有了。” 韦小宝举起酒杯，道：“请喝酒。”罗刹人嗜酒如命，酒杯放在费要多罗面前已久，酒香阵阵冲鼻，主人没举杯，他不敢便饮，这时见韦小宝举杯，心中大喜，忙一饮而尽。 清方随员又给他斟上酒，从食盒中取出菜肴，均是北京名厨的烹饪，罗刹国其时开化未久，要到日后彼得大帝长大，与其姊苏菲亚公主夺权而胜，将苏菲亚幽禁于尼庵之中，然后大举输入西欧文化，当韦小宝之时，罗刹国一切器物制度、文明教化，俱与中国相去甚远，至于烹红之精，迄至今日，俄国仍和中国相差十万八千里，当年在尼布楚城外，费要多罗初尝中华美食，自然是目瞪口呆，几乎连自己的舌头也吞下肚去了。韦小宝陪着他尝遍每碟菜肴，解释何谓鱼翅，何谓燕窝，如何令鸭掌成席上之珍，如何化鸡肝为盘中之宝，只听得费要多罗欢喜赞叹，欣羡无已。 韦小宝随口问道：“贵使这一次是哪一天离开莫斯科的？”费要多罗道：“敝人于四月十二日奉了公主殿下的谕示，从莫斯科出发。”韦小宝道：“很好。来，再干一杯。我们这位佟公爷，酒量很好，你们两位对饮几杯。”当下佟国纲向费要多罗敬酒，对饮三杯。 韦小宝道：“贵使是本月到尼布楚的罢？”费要多罗道：“敝人是上个月十五到的。”韦小宝道：“喂，从四月十二行到七月十五，路上走了三个多月。”费要多罗道：“是，走了三个多月。幸好天时已暖，道上倒也并不难走。”韦小宝大拇指一翘，赞道：“很好！贵使这一番说了真话，终于承认尼布楚不是罗刹国的了。” 费要多罗喝了十几杯酒，已微有醉意，愕然道：“我……我几时承认了？”韦小宝笑道：“从北京到老猫拉屎法，得走三个多月，路程很远，因此老猫拉屎法不是中国的地方。从莫斯科到尼布楚，你也走了三个多月，路程可也不近，尼布楚自然不是罗刹国的了。” 费要多罗睁大了眼睛，一时无辞可对，呆了半晌，才道：“我们俄罗斯地方大得很，那是不同的。”韦小宝道：“我们大清国地方也可不小哪。”费要多罗强笑道：“贵使爱开玩笑，这……这两件事，是……是不能一概而论的。” 韦小宝道：“贵使定要说尼布楚是罗刹国地方，那么咱们交换一下。我到莫斯科去，请公主封你为尼布楚伯爵，封我为老猫拉屎法公爵。这老猫拉屎法城就算是中国地方了。” 费要多罗满脸胀得通红，急道：“这……这怎么可以？”不禁大为担忧，心想公主是他情人，倘若给他在枕头边灌了大量中国迷汤，竟尔答应交换，那就糟糕透顶了。又想：“我那洛莫诺沙伐是祖传的封邑，物产丰富，如果给公主改封到了尼布楚，这里气候寒冷，人丁稀少，可要了我的老命啦。何况我现下是侯爵，改封为尼布楚伯爵，岂不是降级？” 韦小宝见他一副忧心忡忡的模样，笑道：“你想连我的封地雅克萨也占了去，叫我做不成鹿鼎公。我有甚么法子？只好去做老猫拉屎法公爵了。虽然你这封邑的名字太难听，甚么老猫拉屎、小狗拉屎的，可也只得将就将就了。” 费要多罗寻思：“你中国想占我的洛莫诺沙伐，那是决无可能。不过你韦小宝已受过我俄罗斯帝国的封爵，倘若来谋我的封邑，倒也麻烦。我们也不是真的要雅克萨，这雅克萨已经给你们打下来了，再要你们退出来，自然不肯。”于是脸露笑容，说道：“既然雅克萨城是贵使的封邑，我们就退让一步，两国仍以黑龙江为界，不过雅克萨城和城周十里之地，属于中国。这完全是看在贵使份上，最大
After more than 20 days, Kangxi issued an edict to reward the soldiers who went to the expedition, Wei Xiaobao was promoted to the second-class Lord Lu Ding, and the rest of the soldiers were rewarded.The imperial envoy who delivered the decree handed over to Wei Xiaobao a wooden box sealed with wax lacquer, which was a royal gift from the emperor.Wei Xiaobao kowtowed to thank him, he opened the wooden box, he couldn't help being stunned.Inside the box was a golden rice bowl.The four characters "Gong Zhong Ti Guo" are engraved on the bowl, which seems to be given to him by Shi Lang back then, but the pattern and handwriting are all damaged, but they have been repaired completely. Wei Xiaobao remembered that this golden rice bowl was placed in the Earl's residence in Tongmao'er Alley back then, and he fled in a panic that night without taking it out, after contemplating it, he understood the reason.It must be that after the bombardment of the Earl's Mansion that night, the sergeant of the Qianfeng Battalion made a list of the damaged remains in the mansion and submitted it to the emperor.Although the golden rice bowl was damaged, it was not melted.Kangxi ordered the craftsman to repair it, and gave it to him again, which naturally meant: Your golden rice bowl has been broken once, so you must hold it carefully this time, and don't break it again.Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "The little emperor is very loyal to me. We have contacts, and I will not dig out his veins." That night there was a banquet for imperial envoys, all the generals accompanied each other, and after the banquet, they started gambling. More than a month later, Kangxi came again, this time he reprimanded Wei Xiaobao, saying that Wei Xiaobao acted nonsense, asked Raksha to surrender and shouted "Longevity is boundless", it is really boring.The Shangyu said: "He who is a king and a shepherd should have a heart of heaven and love the people. Although Rakshasa is a barbaric country, its small people are also human beings. Since they have surrendered and surrendered, they should not be insulted and humiliated again. You As a minister, I must advise you to be kind and loving for the people. If I benefit everyone, I will be a wise ruler even if I don’t live long. If I am arrogant and cruel, I will live forever and suffer the world. The minister flatters the evil and sycophants, causing the king to be immoral. The crime is the greatest, and it should be admonishment." This time Wei Xiaobao flattered the horse's foot and got a bad nose, but fortunately he had a thick skin and didn't take it seriously, he cursed himself to be damned to the imperial envoy who delivered the decree, thinking: "There is no one in the world who doesn't like wearing a tall hat It must be that these Raksha soldiers don't speak Chinese well, and they confused the emperor and made him angry." Several masters who taught the Raksha soldiers Chinese were called and scolded.After cursing, he opened the table and gambled with them, throwing a few dice and throwing Kangxi's admonition out of the blue.
After a few months, winter ends and spring comes.Although Wei Xiaobao lives comfortably in Yuanhui, he still misses Ake, Su Quan and other wives and Hutou and other children, and he once sent his own soldiers and sent things home.The six wives also brought their clothes and supplies. We all know that he is illiterate, but the letters from his family were both exempted. He just ordered the soldiers to bring a message, saying that the family is safe and sound, and hope that the commander will return in triumph as soon as possible. On this day, another imperial edict was issued in Beijing, appointing Wei Xiaobao and Suo'etu as peace negotiating ministers to negotiate a peace treaty with the Raksha Kingdom, and also dispatching Tong Guogang, the commander of the Han army in Xianghuang Banner, Ma La, and Shang Shu. Arni and Zuodu Yushi Maqi helped each other. After Tong Guogang had finished reading the edict, he took out another official document and read it out, but it was the letter of credence given to Kangxi by the two tsars of the Raksha Kingdom. At this time, it had been translated into Chinese by the Dutch missionaries in Beijing.The national book says: "I would like to present to you Fuyuan Huaxia, overflowing the world, leading the virtuous ministers to rule together, dividing the territory, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and the reputation spread far and wide. Let Niguo come and wait to write a letter to Tianchao Tonghao, because he is ignorant of Chinese rituals, language and behavior, vulgar and ignorant, and I hope to forgive him. To praise the emperor, it is absurd and impolite, and it is also due to the remoteness and ignorance of the ceremony. Fortunately, there was no crime. The emperor gave the book in the past, and there was no one who understood it in the country. He did not follow the reason. And Ni Guolai and others asked about it, but the ministers of the heavenly dynasty did not return it. Harassing the frontier is a word. I recently heard that the emperor raised his troops and humiliated the border, which is not a good idea. If the people on the border of the next country start a quarrel and make trouble, the heavenly court will send an envoy to expressly punish the crime, so why bother to go to war? The decree, beginning to understand the commission, then ordered the soldiers sent by the next country not to fight at that time. I respectfully ask those who have observed the chaos in our country to send back the righteous law. In addition to sending envoys to agree on the border, the end of the shilling, the Buddha's son Wei Niu Stars such as Gao, Yifan, Faerova, etc. rushed to write books. Begging to withdraw from the siege of Yaksa, they still wrote books in detail and told them to the next country. Then everything will go to bed and be watched forever. Your Excellency Wei Xiaobao, Minister of the Upper Kingdom In the past, I saw that my imperial sister, Queen Sophia, the regent, came to Moscow, my capital, to set things right, and made great contributions to the lower country. This is the benefit of the upper country, and the monarchs and ministers of the lower country dare not forget it. I sincerely respect it. , Dedicated to His Majesty the Great Sage Emperor, and presented to His Excellency Minister Wei Xiaobao with the second most important gift, to show the sincerity and peace of the country." (Note: This is recorded in the Russian National Book from the historical records, which is correct, but the last paragraph about Wei Xiaobao Those who say, I am afraid that it is the words of novelists, or they may not be fully believed.) After Tong Guogang read the Guoshu, the master explained the meaning of the book to Wei Xiaobao and the generals in detail.This is a common practice in the army, the exchange of documents, the writing is sometimes quite difficult, and many officers and officers are illiterate, even those who have read books for a few years, their knowledge is quite limited. There is a misunderstanding, and the relationship is very important, so the Manchurian military system has regulations for the interpretation of documents by the master. Tong Guogang said with a smile: "The Queen Regent of the Raksha Kingdom has nostalgia for Marshal Wei, and she has sent a lot of gifts. The emperor ordered the brothers to bring them together and hand them over to Marshal Wei." Wei Xiaobao cupped his hands and said, "" Thank you, thank you." He said again: "Raksha people don't understand etiquette, they don't say their gifts are light, but they brag about themselves, saying that gifts are heavy, and the gift to the emperor is a heavy gift. What kind of gift is it for me? Not afraid of being laughed at." Tong Guogang said: "Yes. The Rakshasa surrendered by Marshal Wei to the capital was interrogated by the Emperor himself, and it was discovered that there was a Rakshasa official among the soldiers..." Wei Xiaobao said "ah", and shouted: " Is there such a thing?" Tong Guogang said: "This man is very cunning, he is mixed among the soldiers, and he does not show any emotion. On that day, the emperor interrogated the descendants one by one, and a Dutch missionary was the interpreter. The soldier said a few words in Latin. One of the soldiers who descended from Rakshasa suddenly showed surprise on his face. The emperor asked him if he understood Latin, but the soldier shook his head. The emperor then said in Latin: "Pull this soldier Go out and behead.' The soldier's face changed drastically, he knelt down and begged for mercy, and confessed that he knew Latin." Wei Xiaobao asked: "What is the Latin language? How could the emperor say what the Raksha people said when they were pulling the army rations?" Tong Guogang said: "The emperor is smart and wise. He knows everything. The Raksha people said when pulling the strong men If you say it, you will say it." Wei Xiaobao said: "Why does the emperor not understand what the Raksha people usually say, but he can say what the Raksha people say?" Tong Guogang couldn't answer, and said with a smile: "We don't understand the reason for this. Next time the commander-in-chief meets the emperor, please kowtow and ask." Wei Xiaobao nodded and asked: "What happened to that Raksha man? " Tong Guogang said: "The emperor interrogated carefully, and the man finally couldn't hide it, and revealed it a little bit. It turns out that this man is called Yarchinsky, and he is the governor of the two cities of Nerchinsk and Yaksa." When everyone heard it, they couldn't help but let out an "ah".Wei Xiaobao said: "This guy's official is not small." Tong Guogang said: "Isn't it? Among the officials sent by the Raksha Kingdom in the east, he is the most important. When the city of Yaksa is destroyed, he must be a soldier. He even concealed it from him." Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said with a smile: "On the day the city of Yaksa was captured, the generals, soldiers, officials, and officials of the Rakshasa all took off their clothes. It's all the same thing, there is really no difference. It doesn't mean that the official is a big one, and the words are big. Brother... it's not our fault that the high official can't recognize him." The generals laughed and explained to Tong Guogang the scene of breaking Yaksa City that day. Tong Guogang laughed and said: "So that's the case, it's no wonder. The emperor said: Wei Xiaobao has made a lot of contributions in capturing the governors of Nerchinsk and Yaksa cities in the Raksha Kingdom, but he thinks that this person is just an ordinary soldier, and he is too foolish in his work. There is no reward or punishment for this matter." Wei Xiaobao stood up and said respectfully, "I am extremely grateful for the emperor's kindness." Tong Guogang said: "The emperor interrogated this Archinsky for six days in a row. He interrogated every detail about the military and political affairs of the Raksha Kingdom, the territory and property. A secret was found on his body. Marshal Yi Wei said that when this man was captured, he was naked, so he had a way to hide secret documents." Wei Xiaobao scolded: "His grandma, this Er Er really has a lot of tricks. Next time I see him, I have to make him look good. Where is this secret document hidden? Is it hidden in a fart... a fart ..." Tong Guogang said: "Before Luocha descended to the court to meet the emperor, the imperial guards searched his whole body carefully, touched his hair and beard, and took off his pants and boots to see clearly. Fanbang people have ulterior motives. Sharp weapon, is that okay? Of course, this Yarchinsky has searched carefully, and there is nothing else on him. But the emperor saw a bulge on his right shoulder, and he looked sideways at him from time to time, so he asked What is it on his arm? Yarchinsky pulled up his sleeves and tied a thick bandage on his arm, saying that he was injured in Yaksa City. The emperor told him to come forward and squeezed his arm hard. A hand. Yarchinsky yelled 'Ouch', but there was no pain in his voice." Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "Interesting, interesting! The Rakshasa ghost's injury is fake." Tong Guogang said: "Isn't it? The emperor immediately ordered the guards to take off the bandage on his arm. Yarchinsky's face was ashen, and his whole body was shaking with fright. Marshal Wei, guess what is hidden in the bandage?" Wei Xiaobao said: "You just mentioned the secret documents, is that the tone?" Tong Guogang clapped his hands and laughed, "Exactly. No wonder the emperor always praises you for being smart, and you can guess it right away. That's what was hidden in the Yarchinsky bandage. Yes, it is indeed a document, it is a secret edict given to him by the Czar of the Raksha Kingdom. The Emperor asked a Dutch missionary to translate it, and here is a copy of it.” He took out an official document from the envelope and read it aloud: "You should tell the Emperor of China that the Great Emperor, the dictatorship of all Great Russia, Little Russia, and Belarus, and His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, who is also a great king and many countries, have far-reaching imperial prestige, and the kings of many countries have surrendered to His Majesty the Supreme Ruler. The Emperor of China should also seek the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, the dictatorship of all Great Russia, Little Russia, and Belarus, and return to His Majesty's supreme rule. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely love the Emperor of China in the midst of his imperial grace, and To protect it from the enemy, the Chinese emperor can be exclusively attached to His Majesty the Great Sovereign, under the supreme rule of His Majesty the Russian Emperor, and will never change, and will be included in the tribute to the Great Sovereign. The people under His Majesty the Great Sovereign, etc., should You are allowed to do business freely in China and the two territories. For this reason, the Emperor of China should allow the envoys of His Majesty the Great Emperor to go unhindered, and write a reply to His Majesty the Great Emperor.” (Note: This is an authentic document, when Kangxi arrested the Russian envoys , was imprisoned for half a month and then deported back to the country. The document was confiscated and stored in the archives of the palace. For the original photo, see "Historical Materials in Russian Language of the Palace Museum") Tong Guogang read a sentence, Wei Xiaobao scolded: "Fart!" After he finished reading, Wei Xiaobao had already cursed dozens of "Fart". Tong Guogang said: "The emperor's edict: Luocha people are ambitious and extremely rude. The Luocha emperor who issued this secret edict is the father of the two tsars today. He is dead. At that time, he didn't know that we Chinese The Raksha people have suffered a lot now, and they don't dare to be as presumptuous as they used to be. But when negotiating peace with them, you have to be both soft and hard, and you can't ignore it." Wei Xiaobao said: "Exactly. The emperor ordered us to be ruthless. Slapped them a few times, kicked them a few times, patted their shoulders, and touched their backs." Tong Guogang said: "The queen regent is very cunning, she pretends not to know that Yaksa has attacked us Excuse me, saying that the Rakshasa soldiers have been ordered not to confront us. But the letter of credence has revealed its flaws, please send the captured Rakshasa people back to them for rectification." Wei Xiaobao laughed: "How can there be such a cheap one? What? She gave me a few mink furs and a few precious stones as a second gift, just to let us release her officers and soldiers." Tong Guogang said: "The emperor ordered: since the Raksha people are asking for peace, it's okay to negotiate peace with them, but we have to bring a large army there and make an alliance with them under the city." Wei Xiaobao asked, "What is an alliance under the city?" Tong Guogang said: "The two countries fought, and our army surrounded Fanbang's city. Fanbang asked for peace and concluded a peace treaty under his city. That is called an alliance under the city. Although this state is not considered a surrender, it is still an admission of defeat." Wei Xiaobao said: "That's how it is. Actually It is not difficult for us to send troops to take Nerchinsk down." Tong Guogang said: "The emperor's decree: it is quite sure to win a few more battles. However, Luocha is a big country in the world, and there are many small countries under its jurisdiction. If they lose in the east and lose their prestige, it is a All the small countries will be dissatisfied. If this is the case, Rakshasa will have to mobilize a large army to take revenge. There is another big country in the west of the Raksha Kingdom called Sweden, and the war with the Raksha Kingdom is imminent. If Raksha is at war on both sides at the same time, it will be a headache. We will take this opportunity to sign a peace treaty with him, and we will definitely gain a lot of money , at least one hundred years of peace in northern Xinjiang can be maintained." After Wei Xiaobao's victory, he really wanted to go all out, and even Nerchinsk also attacked. Hearing that the emperor agreed to Luocha's peace, he felt very unsatisfied, but this is the emperor's decision, what he wants to do, what? Thousands of miles away, it is difficult for me to disobey the order, so I thought again: "You are the emperor's uncle and my wife's uncle, and you are my elders. You are the first-class public, and I am just the second-class public. The last time I negotiated peace with the Raksha people, the emperor sent you to be my deputy, and the emperor gave me a lot of face." Tong Guogang's father, Tong Tulai, was the father of Kangxi's mother, Empress Xiaokang, and was a Han Chinese, so Kangxi's blood was half full and half Han.Tong Tulai was dead at this time, and Tong Guogang succeeded him as a first-class prince.Tong Tulai belonged to the Manchu Qing Dynasty when he was outside the customs in his early years. He belonged to the Yellow Banner with great military achievements and a great reputation, but Wei Xiaobao felt that his name was too bad. What is it?After Zhang Yan received the news that night, all the ministers gambled a few hands under the suggestion of Marshal Wei.Tong Guogang really lost, but the six hundred taels of silver bill was pushed out, he didn't care about it, and had no intention of gaining anything.Wei Xiaobao saw that he lost easily without any paternal style, he couldn't help being quite surprised, went back to his room, went to bed and slept, and then suddenly realized: "His name is Tong Guguang, and he said he was going to lose on the dominoes. This man The gambling is very good, you can make friends with him."
The next day Wei Xiaobao discussed with all the ministers, everyone said that since they want to make an alliance under the city, they might as well send the army away and wait for work at leisure.Wei Xiaobao nodded in agreement, and passed down the general order, Yuanhui and Humar City armies marched together to join forces at Nerchinsk City.It was already summer, the weather was warm and the snow was melting, making it very convenient for the army to travel. On this day, when we reached the bank of the Hailar River, the vanguard came to report that there was a small group of Luocha soldiers, and the leader of the troops asked to see the general.Wei Xiaobao heard the captain, it turned out to be Wabsky and Zilonov.Wei Xiaobao said happily: "Very good, very good! So it's a bastard and a coward." The two bowed and presented Princess Sophia's reply. The Rakshasa missionary was still in the Qing army camp at this time, in case of need.In order to negotiate and sign documents, Kangxi sent a Dutch missionary to help.Wei Xiaobao passed two priests into the account and ordered them to interpret the princess' reply letter. That Rakshasa priest tampered with the original meaning of Wei Xiaobao's love letter that day, at this moment he was very anxious, fearing that the princess' reply letter would reveal his flaws, so he quickly took the letter and read it again, so he was relieved.The Dutch missionary immediately translated the Rakshasa script into Chinese. The letter said: Since we parted, I have been thinking about it all the time, and I hope that after the signing of the peace agreement, Wei Xiaobao will go to Moscow to express his affection for the old friend.Since Wei Xiaobao was favored by the monarchs of the two countries, he must explain all kinds of misunderstandings, eliminate the estrangement, and establish the foundation for the eternal reconciliation of the two countries.The letter also said: China and Rakshasa are separated from the east and west, and they are great powers in the world. If they join forces and form an alliance, they can dominate the world, and no country can resist it.If the peace negotiation fails, a long-term war will inevitably hurt both sides.Therefore, I hope that Wei Xiaobao will bring about this matter, and he will definitely make great contributions to China, and the Raksha Kingdom will also be rewarded heavily.He also asked Wei Xiaobao to speak to the Emperor of China to release the soldiers of the Raksha Kingdom who were still captured, so that he could have a sweetheart reunion with his family. After the interpretation by the Dutch missionary was completed, Wei Xiaobao saw that Waboski and Zilonov were making eye contact, and knew that there was something wrong, so he ordered the two missionaries to withdraw, and asked, "What else do you have to say?" Ji Dao: "His Royal Highness wants us to tell the Chinese children and adults that Her Royal Highness misses you very much. Rakshasa men are not good. Chinese children and adults are number one in the world. We must invite you to Moscow." Wei Xiaobao snorted and thought: " This is Rakshasa soup, but you must never believe it." Zilonov said: "His Royal Highness has a few other matters that I need to ask the Chinese children and adults to handle. This is given to you by Her Royal Highness." As he spoke, he took a copper chain from his neck. Leather bag.The same goes for the Wabsky.It is thought that the two traveled a long distance and were afraid of getting lost, so they tied it around their necks with copper chains.The openings of the two leather pouches are locked with copper locks.Wabosky took another key from his belt and opened the brass lock of Zilonov's leather pouch.Zilonov also used his own key to open the brass lock of the leather pouch that Wabsky was carrying.The two respectfully placed the leather pouch on the table in front of Wei Xiaobao. Wei Xiaobao turned the leather bag upside down, with a sound of tinkling, dozens of precious stones were poured out, colorful and resplendent, all of them were huge rubies, sapphires and topaz.The other leather pouch contained diamonds and emeralds.Immediately, the tent is full of precious light, dazzling and blooming. Wei Xiaobao has seen countless jewels in his life, but he has never seen so many big gemstones gathered together, he said with a smile: "The princess gave me such an important gift, but I really can't bear it." (Note: According to The 25th issue of "Journal of Yenching" Liu Xuanmin wrote "China-Russia Early Trade Research", Russia sent ambassador Fedoro Gorovin to negotiate with China on the division of borders and repairs, and trade affairs. On the way to the east, Gorovin received a secret from the court Instructions, solemn instructions: If you can gain the benefits of doing business with China, the city of Yaksa may be handed over to China, and within the scope of not compromising the majesty of the Russian Emperor, you can secretly give gifts and bribes to the Chinese representatives.) Waboski said: "His Royal Highness said that if the Chinese children and adults achieve great things, there will be more expensive gifts for you: there will be Great Russia, Little Russia, Belarus, Cossacks, Tatars, Sweden, Persia, Poland, Ten beauties from Germany and Denmark, one from each country, all young and beautiful, all virgins, not widows, all given to Chinese children and adults." Wei Xiaobao laughed loudly, and said: "I can't cope with seven wives, and there are ten more beauties. Chinese children and adults will die immediately." Waboski said repeatedly: "No, no. These ten There are beautiful virgins, Her Royal Highness has already prepared them, we have seen them with my own eyes, all of them have faces like roses, skin like milk, and voices like nightingales." Wei Xiaobao was heartbroken and asked: "Your Highness wants me to do it. What's up?" Zilonov said: "The first thing is to reconcile the two countries, demarcate the border fairly, and never fight any more." 韦小宝心想：“小皇帝正要如此，这一件办得到。”皱起眉头，说道：“你们罗刹国西边，有一个瑞……瑞甚么国的，派来了使者，要和我们一起出兵，东西夹攻罗刹，把你们的国家平分了。那时候甚么大俄罗斯、小俄罗斯、不大不小中俄罗斯、黑俄罗斯、白俄罗斯、五颜六色花俄罗斯，各种美女要多少，有多少，也不用你们公主殿下送了。何况每样只送一名，太也寒蠢小气！” 两名罗刹队长一听，都大吃一惊。其时瑞典国王查理十一世在位，也是个英明有为的少年君主，整军经武，颇有意东征罗刹，日来大队兵马源源向东开拔。莫斯科朝廷中文武大臣正以此为忧，不料瑞典竟会想要和中国联盟。罗刹虽强，但如腹背受敌，那就大势去矣。 韦小宝见了两人脸色，知道自己虚晃一招，已然生效，便道：“可是我和公主殿下是甜心好朋友，怎能答应瑞甚么国的蛮子？现下我们中国皇帝还没拿定主意，如果罗刹国确然诚心求好，我可以赶瑞甚么国的使者回国。” 两名队长大喜，连称：“罗刹国十分诚意，半点不假。请中国小孩大人快快把瑞典国的使者赶出去，最好是一刀砍了他的头。” 韦小宝摇头道：“使者的头是砍不得的。何况他已送了我许多宝石、十几个美女，这一刀也砍不下去啊，是不是？”两位队长连声称是，心想：“原来瑞典国加意迁就，先送货，后收钱，这一手可比我们漂亮了。”又想：“幸亏中国小孩大人是我们公主的甜心，否则的话，这件事当真大大的糟糕。” 韦小宝问道：“公主殿下还要我办甚么事？”华伯斯基微笑道：“公主殿下真正想要中国小孩大人办的事，是要请你去莫斯科克里姆林宫公主寝室里去办的。”韦小宝嘿的一声，心道：“这是罗刹迷汤，简称罗刹汤，可喝不可信。”笑道：“原来你们罗刹男人都不中用。”齐洛诺夫道：“也不是罗刹男人不中用，不过公主殿下特别想念中国小孩大人。”韦小宝心道：“又是一碗罗刹汤。”说道：“既是这样，公主没别的事了？” 华伯斯基道：“公主殿下要请中国皇帝陛下准许，两国商人可以来往两国国境，自由通商。”齐洛诺夫道：“两国商人来往密了，公主就时时可以写信送礼给大人。”韦小宝心道：“他妈的，又是一碗。”说道：“这么说来，两国通商，公主是为私不为公？”齐洛诺夫道：“是，是，完全是为了中国小孩大人。”韦小宝道：“现下我不是小孩子了，你们不可再叫甚么中国小孩大人。”两人一齐深深鞠躬，说道：“是，是！中国大人阁下。”韦小宝微微一笑，道：“好了，你们下去休息。我们要去尼布楚，你们随着同去便是。” 两人都是一惊，相互瞧了一眼，心想：“中国大军到尼布楚去干什么？难道是去攻城吗？”韦小宝道：“你们放心。我答应了公主，两国和好，不再打仗就是了。”两人又一齐鞠躬，说道：“多谢中国小……不……大人阁下。” 华伯斯基又道：“公主听说中国的桥梁造得很好，不论多宽的大江大河，都可以用大石头造桥，下面不用石柱桥墩。公主心爱中国大人阁下，也爱上了中国的东西，因此请大人派几名造桥的工匠技师去莫斯科，造几座中国的神奇石桥。公主殿下天天见到中国石桥，在桥上走来走去散步，就好像天天见到大人阁下一般。” 韦小宝心想：“罗刹汤一碗一碗的灌来，再喝下去我可要呕了。公主特别看中了我们中国的石桥，那是甚么缘故？其中必有古怪，每不能上这个罗刹狐狸精的当。”说道：“公主想念我，石桥是不用造了，工程太大。我送她几条中国丝棉被、几个中国枕头便是，让她抱住了睡觉，就好像每天晚上有中国大人阁下陪着她。” 两名罗刹队长对望了一眼，脸上均有尴尬之色。齐洛诺夫道：“这个……好像……”华伯斯基脑筋较灵，说道：“大人阁下的主意极高，中国丝棉被、中国枕头就由我们带去，公主抱不到中国大人阁下，抱一抱中国丝棉被、中国枕头也是好的。不过丝棉被、枕头过得几年就破烂了，不及石桥牢固，因此建造石桥的技师，还是请大人派去。” 韦小宝听他二人口气，罗刹朝廷对造桥技师需求殷切，料想必有阴谋诡计。他不知中国造桥技师当时甲于天下，外国人来到中国，一见到建构宏伟的石桥，必定啧啧称异，赞赏不止，何以拱桥能横越江面，其下不需支柱，更觉神奇莫测。罗刹人盼望学到这门造桥方法，倒是出于艳羡中国科学技术之心，并无其他阴谋。（按：康熙十五年，俄国派斯巴塔雷NG Spatnary为钦差，率同宝石专家、药材专家来北京，提出多项要求，其中一条为：“中国准许俄国借用筑桥技师。”该钦差因不肯向康熙磕头，被清廷驱逐回国。）韦小宝心想：“你们越是想要的东西，老子越是不能给你。”说道：“知道了，下去罢！” 两名队长不敢再说，行礼退出。
不一日，罗刹钦差大臣费要多罗，在尼布楚城得报清军大至，忙差人送信，请清军在原地驻扎，他立即过来相会。（按：罗刹国议和钦差的姓名是费要多罗·果罗文Fedor A. Golovin，当时不知西人名先姓后之习，故中国史书称之为费要多罗。） 韦小宝道：“不用客气了，还是我们来拜客罢！”清军浩浩荡荡开抵尼布楚城下。萨布素、朋春、马喇分统人马，绕到尼布楚城北、城南、城西把守住了要道，既截断了尼布楚罗刹军的退路，又阻住西来援军。韦小宝亲统中军屯驻城东。中军流星炮射上天空，四面号炮齐响。 尼布楚城中罗刹大臣、军官、士卒望见清军云集围城，军容壮盛，无不气为之夺。费要多罗当即备了礼物，派人送别清军军中，并致书中国钦差大臣，说道两国皇帝已决定罢兵议和，此次会晤专为签订和约，双方军队不宜相距过近，以免引起冲突，有失两国交好之意。 韦小宝和众大臣商议。众人都说中华上国不宜横蛮，须当先礼后兵。韦小宝于是下令退兵数里，驻在什耳喀河以东；又令尼布楚城北、西、南三面的清军退入山中候令。 费要多罗见清军后撤，略为宽心，又再写了一通文书，提出四点相会的条件：一、会见之所设于尼布楚城与什耳喀河之间的中央：二、会见之日，两国钦差各带随员四十人；三、两国各出兵五百，俄军列于城下，清军列于河边；四、两国使节之护卫亲兵各以二百六十人为限，除刀剑外，不准携带火器。他所以提这四个条件，因清军势大，俄军人少，倘若双方不限人数，俄军必处下风。但罗刹兵火器厉害，如双方兵员相等，俄兵即占优势，料想对方不允，因此先行提出，规定卫兵只可携带刀剑。文书中又建议次日相会。 韦小宝和众大臣商议后，认为可行，当即接纳，连夜派兵搭起篷帐，作为会所。 次日清晨，韦小宝、索额图、佟国纲等钦差带同随员，率了二百六十名藤牌手，来到会所。只见尼布楚城城门开处，二百余骑哥萨克兵手执长刀，拥簇着一群罗刹官员驰来。这队骑兵人高马大，威风凛凛，清军的藤牌手都是步兵，相形之下，声势大为不如。 佟国纲骂道：“他奶奶的，罗刹鬼狡猾得很，第一步咱们便上了当。说好大家只带二百六十名卫兵，就只忘了说骑兵步兵。他们便多了二百六十匹马。”索额图道：“这件事提醒了咱们，跟罗刹鬼打交道，可得打起了十二万分的精神，只疏忽得半分，便着了道儿。” 说话之间，罗刹兵驰到近前。佟国纲道：“咱们遵照皇上嘱咐，事事要顾全中华上国是礼仪之邦，大家下马罢。”韦小宝道：“好，大家下马。”众人一齐下马，拱手肃立。罗刹钦差费要多罗见状，一声令下，众官员也俱下马，鞠躬行礼。双方走近。 费要多罗说道：“俄罗斯国钦差费要多罗，奉沙皇之命，敬祝大清国皇帝圣躬安康。”韦小宝学着他的说话，也道：“大清国钦差韦小宝，奉大皇帝之命，敬祝罗刹国沙皇圣躬安康。”再加上一句：“又祝摄政女王苏菲亚公主殿下美丽快乐。”费要多罗微微一笑，心想：“大清皇帝祝我们公主美丽快乐，这句颂词倒也希奇古怪，不过公主倘若听到了，想必喜欢。”两人互致颂词，介绍副使。双方译员译出。 韦小宝见罗刹官员肃立恭听，倒也礼貌周到，但二百六十名哥萨克骑兵昂然骑在马背，手持长刀，列成队形，一副居高临下的神情，隐隐有威胁之势，越看越有气，说道：“你们的卫兵太也无礼，见了中国大人阁下，怎不下马？”他说罗刹话文法颠倒，词句错落，但在恼怒之下，不及等译官译述，罗刹话冲口而出。费要多罗道：“敝国的规矩，骑兵在部队之中，就是见到了沙皇陛下，也不用下马的。” 韦小宝道：“这是中国地方，到了中国，就得行中国规矩。”费要多罗摇头道：“对不起，阁下错了。这是俄罗斯沙皇的领地，不是中国的地方。”韦小宝道：“这明明是中国地方，是你们强行占去的。”费要多罗道：“对不起，中国钦差大臣阁下误会了。这是俄国沙皇的领地。尼布楚城是俄罗斯人筑的。” 两国此次会议，原是划界争地，当地属中属俄，便是关键的所在。两个钦差大臣刚一见面，还没入帐开始谈判，就起了争执。 韦小宝道：“你们罗刹人在中国地方筑了一座城池，这地方就算是你们的了，天下哪有这个道理？”费要多罗道：“这是俄国地方，俄罗斯人在这里筑城，中国人不在这里筑城，这就证明这是俄国地方。中国钦差大臣阁下说这是中国地方，不知有甚么证据？” 尼布楚一带向来无所管束，中俄两国疆界也迄未划分，到底属中属俄，本来谁也没有证据。韦小宝听他问到这句话，不禁为之语塞，待要强辩，苦于说罗刹话辞不达意，寻常应答已感艰难，要巧言舌辩，如何能够？心中一怒，说道：“这是中国地方，证据多得很。”跟着便以扬州话骂道：“辣块妈妈，我入你罗刹鬼子十七八代老祖宗。”这一句话出口，扬州的骂人粗话便流水价滔滔不绝，将费要多罗的高祖母、曾祖母、以至祖母、母亲、姊妹、外婆、姨妈、姑母，人人骂了个狗血淋头。罗刹国费家女性，无一幸免。 中俄双方官员见中国钦差大臣发怒，无不骇然。只是他说话犹似一长串爆竹一般，别说费要多罗莫名其妙，连中国官员和双方译员也是茫然不解。韦小宝这些骂人说的话，全是扬州市井间最粗俗低贱的俗话，扬州的绅士淑女就未必能懂得二三成，索额图、佟国纲等或为旗人，或为久居北方的武官，却如何理会得？ 韦小宝大骂一通之后，心意大畅，忍不住哈哈大笑。 费要多罗虽然不懂他言语，但揣摩神色语气，料想必是发怒，忽见他又纵声大笑，更加摸不着头脑，问道：“请问贵使长篇大论，是何指教？贵使言辞深奥，敝人学识浅陋，难以通解，请你逐句慢慢的再说一遍，以便领教。”韦小宝道：“我刚才说，你太也不讲道理。我要你的祖母来做甜心，做老婆。” 费要多罗微笑道：“我祖母是莫斯科城出名的美人儿，她是彼得洛夫斯基伯爵的女儿。原来中国大人阁下也听到过我祖母的艳名，敝人实在不胜荣幸之至。只可惜我祖母已死了三十八年啦。”韦小宝道：“那么我要你母亲做我的甜心，做我老婆。” 费要多罗眉花眼笑，更是喜欢，说道：“我的妈妈出于名门望族，皮肤又白又嫩，她会做法国诗。莫斯科城里有不少王公将军很崇拜她。我们俄国有一位大诗人，写过几十首诗赞扬我的妈妈。她今年虽然已六十三岁了，相貌还是和三十几岁的少年妇人一样。中国大人阁下将来去莫斯科，敝人一定介绍你和我妈妈相识，要结婚恐怕不成，做甜心吗，只要我妈妈答应，那是可以的。”原来洋人风俗、如有人赞其母亲、妻子貌美，非但不以为忤，反而深感荣幸，比称赞他自己还要高兴。 韦小宝却道此人怕了自己，居然肯将母亲奉献，有意拜自己为干爹，满腔怒火登时化为乌有，笑道：“很好，很好。以后如来莫斯科，定是你府上常客。”拉着他手，走入帐中。 双方副使随员跟着都进了营帐。韦小宝等一行坐在东首，费要多罗等一行坐在西首。
费要多罗说道：“敝国摄政女王公主殿下吩咐，这次划界谈和，我们有极大诚意，双方必须公平，谁也不能欺了对方。因此敝国提出，两国以黑龙江为界，江南属于中国，江北属于俄罗斯。划定疆界之后，俄罗斯兵再也不能渡江而南，中国兵也不能渡到江北。”韦小宝问道：“雅克萨城是在江南还是江北？”费要多罗道：“是在江北。该城是我们俄罗斯人所筑，可见黑龙江江北之地，都是属于俄国的。” 韦小宝一听，怒气又生，问道：“雅克萨城内有座小山，你可知叫甚么名字？”费要多罗回头问了随员，答道：“叫高助略山。”韦小宝懂得罗刹语中“高助略”即为“鹿”，说道：“我们中国话叫做鹿鼎山。你可知我封的是甚么爵位？”费要多罗道：“阁下是鹿鼎公，用我们罗刹话说，就是高助略山公爵。”韦小宝道：“这样一来，你是存心跟我过不去了。明知我是鹿鼎公，却要把我的鹿鼎山占了去，岂不是要我做不成公爵么？”费要多罗忙道：“不，不，决无此意。” 韦小宝问道：“你是甚么爵位？”费要多罗道：“敝人是洛莫诺沙伐侯爵。”韦小宝道：“好，那么洛莫诺沙伐是属于中国的地方。”费要多罗吃了一惊，随即微笑道：“敝人的封邑洛莫诺沙伐尚在莫斯科之西，怎能是中国的地方？” 韦小宝道：“你说你的封邑叫作老猫拉屎法……”费要多罗道：“洛莫诺沙伐。”韦小宝不理他，继续说道：“从我们的京城北京，到老猫拉屎法一共有几里路？要走几天？”费要多罗道：“从洛莫诺沙伐到莫斯科，一共五百多里路，五天的路程。从莫斯科到北京，总得走三个月罢。”韦小宝道：“这样说来，从北京到老猫拉屎法，得走三个月零五天，路程是远得很了。”费要多罗道：“很远，很远！”韦小宝道：“这样的路程，老猫拉屎法当然不会是属于中国的了。”费要多罗微笑道：“公爵说得再对没有了。” 韦小宝举起酒杯，道：“请喝酒。”罗刹人嗜酒如命，酒杯放在费要多罗面前已久，酒香阵阵冲鼻，主人没举杯，他不敢便饮，这时见韦小宝举杯，心中大喜，忙一饮而尽。 清方随员又给他斟上酒，从食盒中取出菜肴，均是北京名厨的烹饪，罗刹国其时开化未久，要到日后彼得大帝长大，与其姊苏菲亚公主夺权而胜，将苏菲亚幽禁于尼庵之中，然后大举输入西欧文化，当韦小宝之时，罗刹国一切器物制度、文明教化，俱与中国相去甚远，至于烹红之精，迄至今日，俄国仍和中国相差十万八千里，当年在尼布楚城外，费要多罗初尝中华美食，自然是目瞪口呆，几乎连自己的舌头也吞下肚去了。韦小宝陪着他尝遍每碟菜肴，解释何谓鱼翅，何谓燕窝，如何令鸭掌成席上之珍，如何化鸡肝为盘中之宝，只听得费要多罗欢喜赞叹，欣羡无已。 韦小宝随口问道：“贵使这一次是哪一天离开莫斯科的？”费要多罗道：“敝人于四月十二日奉了公主殿下的谕示，从莫斯科出发。”韦小宝道：“很好。来，再干一杯。我们这位佟公爷，酒量很好，你们两位对饮几杯。”当下佟国纲向费要多罗敬酒，对饮三杯。 韦小宝道：“贵使是本月到尼布楚的罢？”费要多罗道：“敝人是上个月十五到的。”韦小宝道：“喂，从四月十二行到七月十五，路上走了三个多月。”费要多罗道：“是，走了三个多月。幸好天时已暖，道上倒也并不难走。”韦小宝大拇指一翘，赞道：“很好！贵使这一番说了真话，终于承认尼布楚不是罗刹国的了。” 费要多罗喝了十几杯酒，已微有醉意，愕然道：“我……我几时承认了？”韦小宝笑道：“从北京到老猫拉屎法，得走三个多月，路程很远，因此老猫拉屎法不是中国的地方。从莫斯科到尼布楚，你也走了三个多月，路程可也不近，尼布楚自然不是罗刹国的了。” 费要多罗睁大了眼睛，一时无辞可对，呆了半晌，才道：“我们俄罗斯地方大得很，那是不同的。”韦小宝道：“我们大清国地方也可不小哪。”费要多罗强笑道：“贵使爱开玩笑，这……这两件事，是……是不能一概而论的。” 韦小宝道：“贵使定要说尼布楚是罗刹国地方，那么咱们交换一下。我到莫斯科去，请公主封你为尼布楚伯爵，封我为老猫拉屎法公爵。这老猫拉屎法城就算是中国地方了。” 费要多罗满脸胀得通红，急道：“这……这怎么可以？”不禁大为担忧，心想公主是他情人，倘若给他在枕头边灌了大量中国迷汤，竟尔答应交换，那就糟糕透顶了。又想：“我那洛莫诺沙伐是祖传的封邑，物产丰富，如果给公主改封到了尼布楚，这里气候寒冷，人丁稀少，可要了我的老命啦。何况我现下是侯爵，改封为尼布楚伯爵，岂不是降级？” 韦小宝见他一副忧心忡忡的模样，笑道：“你想连我的封地雅克萨也占了去，叫我做不成鹿鼎公。我有甚么法子？只好去做老猫拉屎法公爵了。虽然你这封邑的名字太难听，甚么老猫拉屎、小狗拉屎的，可也只得将就将就了。” 费要多罗寻思：“你中国想占我的洛莫诺沙伐，那是决无可能。不过你韦小宝已受过我俄罗斯帝国的封爵，倘若来谋我的封邑，倒也麻烦。我们也不是真的要雅克萨，这雅克萨已经给你们打下来了，再要你们退出来，自然不肯。”于是脸露笑容，说道：“既然雅克萨城是贵使的封邑，我们就退让一步，两国仍以黑龙江为界，不过雅克萨城和城周十里之地，属于中国。这完全是看在贵使份上，最大
