Volume 2: The blue strands on the road to open up the mountains and forests Chapter 824: Abolition of the contract and payment of compensation to kill Maozi
Expelling Putiyatim from the peace negotiation delegation was a simple matter for Bonham and Andre. Now both Britain and France need time to adjust their policies in the Far East, delay time, and rescue the trapped Britain and France. The coalition is the main target of the two. As for whether Putiyating is discriminated against or not, it is none of their business. The best result is to be able to negotiate now. The frozen soil city in Beitang has begun to collapse. Once a war breaks out, I am afraid that the British and French forces will suffer the fate of massacre. Yang Meng gave up the challenge, and Wen Xian and Andre spent a total of five days to expel Putiyating. Now it is not just Britain and France who need time. Yang Meng also needs time. As for the British and French coalition forces, even if there is a sea battle With the ship's cooperation, Yang Meng was confident that he would leave most of them on this land to make fertilizer and start a war. He had nothing to care about. Both sides have the intention of delaying time, so the negotiations will continue endlessly. Yang Meng went against the original intention of this negotiation, but for the European and American world, this is also a precursor to the opening up of the Qing Dynasty. With this negotiation Negotiations, it is not easy for Britain and France to connect the European and American world to jointly deal with the Qing Dynasty. Sitting at the negotiation table again, looking at Andre with a wry smile on his face, and Wenxian and Yilu with hatred on their faces, Yang Meng felt very happy. He had worried too much before, and Britain and France, who could fight, sat down to negotiate. , this is a huge progress, destroying these two countries in one fell swoop, it¡¯s just a joke, but if you really do this, you will become the enemy of the entire European and American world, why bother! ¡° If his wish cannot be achieved, YangMeng can only comfort himself in this way. Competing, especially with himself, will be a disaster! "Yang Butang, what conditions do you have?" Andre knew that Yang Meng could understand the Eagle Language. At this time, delaying time was very important. I am afraid that the first condition of the Qing Dynasty is the abolition of the treaty, which is an unequal treaty. It is now difficult to restrict the country with such conditions. It is difficult for Britain and France to accept it! "Simple! Abolish the treaty, pay indemnity, and kill the enemy! Everyone must understand the meaning of the abolition of the treaty. Britain and France took the lead in joining forces with European and American countries to abrogate all the treaties that you have imposed on the Qing Dynasty. Of course, the premise is that it does not affect normal trade. In order to pay compensation, the British and French forces burned five royal gardens in the Qing Dynasty. The value of these five royal gardens was about 2 billion taels of silver. Until now, the number of casualties in the Qing Dynasty was about 300,000, per capita. Calculating the compensation of 500 taels of silver, this compensation is about 150 million taels. Taking into account the consumption of the war, the amount of compensation you need from Britain and France is 2.2 billion taels of silver. Killing Maozi is even simpler. The war is! It was fought between the Qing Dynasty and Britain and France. The mercenaries of Tsarist Russia intervened, causing great casualties to the people of the Qing Dynasty. The mercenaries of Tsarist Russia who came this time not only disarmed their weapons. They must be executed on the territory of the Qing Dynasty! " " Abolition of the treaty, compensation, and killing of Maozi, the second item is definitely impossible, and the difficulty of aborting the treaty is not easy, so the best thing to do is It's time to kill the enemy. Britain and France suffered a huge loss in the Qing Dynasty. They are unable to make plans in the near future, but they can make some small moves. They still have the ability to provoke a war between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia. It is conceivable that they reap the benefits of the fishermen. This condition proposed by Yang Meng should be in line with the interests of Britain and France. Not only did Yang Meng dislike them, they were also disliked in Europe. Killing tens of thousands of them was just a matter of one man and one shot for the British and French allied forces. "This is impossible! We reject such conditions!" After hearing these conditions, Wenxian was not anxious, but Yilu was. Abolition of the contract and compensation were conditions that were impossible to agree to! "Okay! We don't need to talk anymore, let's continue the war! Today in the Qing Dynasty, in one or two years, it will be India, Central Asia, Africa, America, and Australia. The Qing Dynasty will never give up until they kill all the British people! An Andre, what do you think of France? Do you want to fight until death?" Yang Meng didn't care about Yilu's arrogance. After saying the cruel words, he turned to Andre. "Lord, can you give our country some time?" Although Andre is also a minister plenipotentiary, there are not many ministers plenipotentiary in France. The power in his hands is far less than that of Wen Xian. There are some things that he really needs to talk to. Let¡¯s discuss it domestically. "Okay! I'll give you two months to discuss and five days to separate the French troops in Beitang and Zhangjiawan. After five days, the Qing army will launch a general attack on the British and Russian forces. There are no prisoners in the Qing war! "Farewell!" After saying this, Yang Meng stood up and left. Yilu did not expect that the negotiating opponent of the Qing State would be so tough, and he would fight as long as he wanted. This was beyond his imagination. "Yang Butang, wait a minute!" This was said by Wen Xian in Chinese. It seems that this person really can't sit still. "Wait a minute? Is there anything else? Didn't your country reject our conditions? My conditions have been made. From now on, there will only be people from the Qing Dynasty in the world, and there will be no nation like England. What we are going to do next is A war of genocide! The world has not seen such a war for many years. Perhaps such a good show will not be seen much in the future? By the way, the title of Benbutang in the Qing Dynasty is Zhenguo Gong, and the power is probably as high as With your regent over there, I have the final say on the matter of starting a war!" After saying this, Yang Meng smiled calmly and walked out the door. "I am the plenipotentiary minister of the British Empire. Yi Lu has no right to answer questions!" Looking at the smile on Yang Meng's face, Wen Xian was really scared. As a former Hong Kong governor, he naturally knew the emperor's status in the Qing Dynasty. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty could initiate a war of genocide. Once this came true, the result would be unimaginable! Regarding the British and French coalition forces, it is no longer a secret what the Qing army did. The coalition forces of Elgin and Grant were dismembered by the Qing army, and most of the British and French coalition forces of the Yilu brothers died. These are all the sins of the Qing army! Killing is probably a common occurrence for the Qing army. The lives of the people of the Qing country are not their own, but the lives of their emperor. Once the so-called genocide war really starts, even if the British can win, how big the price will be paid. Woolen cloth? "You have no right to answer the question. Then get out!" Arrogant and domineering is the attitude that a winner should have. There is no way to overwhelm the loser, if it is not for the strength in his hands. Not strong enough, Yang Meng really wanted to start a war to destroy the country! "Butcher!" Yilu said angrily. Wen Xian quickly left the negotiation table. Wen Xian had done a good job. I am afraid the empire would not allow the war to continue. "Your Majesty, Duke, our country also needs time to decide whether you accept your conditions or not. Can you give us three months?" Wenxian asked for an extra month. The empire was already preparing for some things. Maybe it can be successful in three months? "Yes! But there must be a mortgage!" After Yang Meng nodded, a smile appeared on Wen Xian's face, but after the word mortgage came out, the smile on Wen Xian's face disappeared. "What do we need to mortgage?" "Fifty warships! Fifty merchant ships! In one month, they will all sail into Dagukou!" "This is impossible!" "Then let's start a war!" "Yes! But our other Warships need to be anchored nearby! " "Yes! " Dagukou Barrage is a natural graveyard for warships, as long as the British warships dare to enter. Yang Meng dared to prevent them from getting out. Now it was no longer the previous battle, with the naval guns provided by Elgin. Yang Meng had enough coastal defense artillery to cover and blockade the Dagu Port. Before the British warships could withdraw from the Dagu Port, Yang Meng could turn them into a pile of sawdust on the sea. Negotiations at this time are almost like playing rogue. How were the treaties of the Qing Dynasty signed? Most of the reasons are still unwinnable. Now that the British and French allied forces can no longer win, many things have to change. It's not that Wenxian's status is the same as that of Yang Meng. One sentence could decide whether a war would start or not, otherwise he would have no choice but to accept such conditions. Fifty warships and fifty merchant ships. It's just anchored at Dagokou for peace talks. Whether it is Bonham, Yilu or Andre, they all know that this war today is absolutely impossible to fight. Even if Britain and France have such national power, they will fight another war in the Far East that is comparable to Crimea. What are the chances of the two countries winning? The British Empire has the largest navy in the world, and France is also a powerful naval power. However, the final decisive battle will still be fought on land. Warships cannot sail on land. Today, the Qing Army's combat power is comparable to that of European and American powers. The number of people is unknown, and the navy is still there. The local battlefield was not much worse than the British Empire's navy. Ironclad ships were so disruptive to ship-operating technology that everyone from generals to politicians were extremely unfavorable about starting a war. Such comments will soon spread to the mainland. I am afraid that the final outcome will be the abolition of the treaty and the implementation of reparations. Otherwise, the tens of thousands of mercenaries in Tsarist Russia will also become scapegoats. Compared with the Qing Dynasty, Britain and France must be afraid of something. too much. "Farewell!" Wenxian felt very humiliated. How easy was it for the British Empire to deal with the Qing Dynasty? Things have changed now! "No!" Turning back to the negotiation table, YangMeng just smiled and said nothing while looking at Andre, who was still a little dull. "Your Majesty, this side of France??¡¡± Andre also knows that personal relationships are of little use at the negotiation table. However, in two months, the French soldiers in Zhangjiawan and Beitang also suffered a huge loss. Once an epidemic occurs, I am afraid that this A Duke of the Qing Dynasty will not care about the life and death of French soldiers. Some things must be tried eventually. "It can be discussed. As long as the French army slaughters all the Russian mercenaries in Zhangjiawan, I will immediately make way for a way out!" After that, our two countries will jointly build the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway! " France does not have many interests in the Far East. At first, YangMeng did not plan to go to war with France first. It was just that they participated in a war that they should not participate in. If they let go of the French army, there would be Annan people to deal with them in the future. Regarding Annan, YangMeng had no idea. It would be convenient for him to immigrate to Zhangjiawan. If Andre had that kind of courage, it would be best to kill all the old men in Zhangjiawan, including Yang Meng. "I will never embarrass the French army. I have no right to answer this. Is there no better solution?" " Killing the mercenaries of Tsarist Russia is not so easy. France and Tsarist Russia can start a war over land. Although France has a chance of winning against Tsarist Russia, Andre, the plenipotentiary minister, has no right to answer such a matter. "have! Abolish the treaty and pay reparations in proportion to the troops sent, and the murder can be revealed! " "I have no right to answer this! Is there any other way? " Andre cannot make a decision on the abolition of the contract, nor can he make a decision on the compensation of hundreds of millions of taels of silver. Andre cannot give an answer to the conditions of the new Duke of the Qing Dynasty. Now it seems that he can only go through France The shorter distance gives France an advantage in negotiations. France does not have great interests in the Far East. Instead of jumping into the sea with England, it is better to extract itself first, otherwise the French soldiers who have suffered less losses will also face extinction. ¡°Then don¡¯t participate in the British-Russian conspiracy against the Qing Dynasty. Once you participate, it will be difficult to live in peace in the future! " There is no conspiracy in the Anglo-Russian meeting. Yang Meng does not believe it. Their conspiracy is only in the southeastern peninsula, Tibetan border, northwest or the three eastern provinces. In these places, Siam in the southeastern peninsula and the Kokand Khanate in the northwest are most likely Yunnan is a place that Yang Meng must defend, and the Kokand Khanate in the northwest has a history of invasion. Isn¡¯t Zhang Geer¡¯s family the best example? ¡°I¡¯ll do my best! " "That's the best! "(To be continued)
