The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 472

After William and Pihulu entered the Kremlin, the Viking and Russian Empires entered into tense peace talks.

Among the requirements submitted by the Viking Empire to Alexei I, dozens of them were very tricky, but after seeing the territorial requirements, Alexei I felt that compared with the territorial requirements of the Viking Empire, all other requirements were Not a problem anymore.

“Russia ceded to the Viking Empire all the land to the north and west of the upper Volga River, allowing the Cossacks on the west bank of the Don to form an independent state, which is a territorial claim.”

If Alexei I agrees to this request, it will make Moscow lose 400,000 to 500,000 square kilometers of land, and these territories are still fertile black land and grasslands, not only their own tsars have sat on the end, and countless people who have lost their homes and land. 80% of the squires, landlords and shabby households are going to march into Moscow with their knives raised.

Compared with losing 500,000 square kilometers of territory and the black land on which Russia lives, Alexei I felt that the request for compensation of 4 million Viking gold dollars was not too easy.

After a long fight, Marshal William saw that the Tsar was only willing to cede ten cities, so he snorted coldly and asked, “Your Majesty, we are not discussing with you now, but let you know if you agree to the terms of this peace negotiation. , we can withdraw our troops. If you don’t agree, our great His Majesty Olaf hanged Wladyslaw IV of Poland, and Cromwell of England also sent Charles I to the guillotine. I think one or two will die now. It’s not a big deal to be a king…”

William’s intimidation caused Alexei I to fight a cold war. Among the noble ministers in Moscow, the brave and loyal ministers were either killed or captured, and those who presided over the negotiations were also soft-footed shrimp. They watched His Majesty the Tsar being insulted but dared not dare. Make a sound, just pretend not to see.

Alexei I felt sad, sighed, and looked helplessly at the ministers.

A 20-year-old young man stood up and said sharply, “I am a big Russia that stretches to the Pacific Ocean in the east and the Ice Ocean in the north, with a population of tens of millions. Without Moscow, will the country be wiped out? Marshal William thought we could do it. A small country that bullies at will, does it really not have the determination to resist the whole country?”

Both William and Pihulu looked at this young man in amazement, which made him stand up in a crisis, showing his courage and loyalty. Although the two were enemies, they also appreciated it very much.

Alexei I looked at the young man gratefully, thinking about his name in his heart.

“Who is he? Tolstoy’s son, it seems? Just made a squire this year? What’s her name?”

William smiled and asked, “Young man, what’s your name?”

“Peter Andrej Tolstoy, this is my name, Your Excellency the Marshal.” The young Tolstoy said nervously.

Pihulu continued: “What official are you in Moscow?”

“My lord, I am not an official, just a servant of Your Majesty.” The young Tolstoy said with a bow.

“Oh?” William laughed, pointing to the full crowd of Tsarist Russian nobles and laughing, “Thanks you are still the great loyal ministers of Tsarist Russia, great nobles, and even a young man is inferior at this time.”

The nobles’ faces turned blue and white, but they did not dare to speak.

William asked cheerfully: “You Tsarist Russian emperors don’t know the goods, you come with me, how about being my assistant?”

Tolstoy shook his head gently and said, “My father is His Majesty’s attendant, and so am I. We will only be loyal to His Majesty.”

“You are very good.” William nodded, and then no longer aggressive, but said to the tsar with a smile: “Your Majesty Alexei, please discuss it with your ‘loyal’ and ‘reliable’ ministers. Well, I only give you half a day…”

Speaking of which, William glanced at the self-ringing clock in the corner and said, “If you don’t have a satisfactory answer before 5 pm, the Vikings will turn Moscow into the dust of history!”

William gave the ultimatum and left the palace with Pihulu.

Thousands of Viking soldiers outside the palace gates began to take up their spears and their artillery pieces.

After 4:50, Peter Andrej Tolstoy walked out with a pale face, and he said coldly: “I am now a plenipotentiary commissioner appointed by His Majesty, and this peace negotiation is up to me. responsible.”

William rode on the horse and asked indifferently, “Then can you agree to these terms?”

Tolstoy had a bitter face, struggled in pain for a long time, gritted his teeth and said with tears: “Basically agree.”

In October 1662, before the onset of winter, news of the peace talks between the Viking Empire and the Russian Empire reached Stockholm and all over Europe.

The Tsar completely bowed his head. Russia ceded almost all the land in the northwest of Moscow in order to obtain peace. The southwest region has also become an independent Cossack duchy. In the face of the news of Russia’s “weight loss”, it compensated 4 million Viking gold. On the contrary, many terms of the Yuan military expenditure are no longer attractive.

When the Viking Empire dispatched officials and troops into the newly acquired large lands before the winter came to take over, it was faced with the question of whether to become serfs of the Viking Empire or serfs of the Tsarist Russia. The originally angry Tsarist Russians were going to rush to Moscow, but in the It is known that the Viking Empire wants to requisition all the land, but everyone can choose to continue to be a serf or go to Wenlan after the news spreads.

The angry serfs are no longer angry. They feel that they are not the same as the masters they follow? And Master Viking treats slaves better, at least the children have the opportunity to raise their status.

But the landowners and squires who lost all their property drove three sets of cars to Moscow in a rush with their treasures. They kept cursing the tsar and the signing of the “Moscow Treaty”

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page, ^0^ Tolstoy.

In order to be loyal, the great-grandfather of the future great writer signed a treaty on behalf of the tsar, but in November, he was guillotined by the tsar as a scapegoat for the people.

After the winter, the war in northern Germany stopped, because there was a heavy snowfall and the weather was too cold, Thom and others and Prince Condé were waiting for the opportunity.

Although the war against Moscow on the eastern front was successful, the situation was not stable, so the army remained in the newly developed territory to establish a military government for military management.

Olaf was very happy, he drank too much on Christmas day, and at the same time issued an order to open Enko next spring.

Russia has ceded a lot of land~www.mtlnovel.com~ is also very fertile. The Privy Council and the Ministry of Naturalization (accurate drawings drawn by the Ministry of Naturalization) worked overtime for a week before coming up with a new administrative plan.

Because Olaf hoped to assimilate more than one million Slavs in the newly acquired territory through the advanced culture and advanced productive forces of the Viking Empire, the Privy Council did not engage in the Governor’s District.

Instead, the original organizational system of all regions was chaotically divided into more than 100 cities and 12 provinces. However, the five cities next to Moscow were not managed by provinces, but a separate Eastern European Governorate was set up for management. The purpose is to Set up a corps area to guard against possible future Russian counterattacks and continue to infiltrate eastward.

In addition to the twelve provinces and one viceroy added to the Viking Empire, the newly established Cossack duchy between Moscow and the Jewish Commonwealth also became a vassal state of the Viking Empire.

Olaf gave a new task to the Privy Council and the Ministry of Naturalization during the New Year, that is, he wanted to see the latest map of the territory of the Viking Empire this Christmas, which Olaf believed was in accordance with the traditions of the Far East. more atmospheric.

Therefore, it was named in advance: “The Great Viking River and Mountains Unify the Whole Map”.
