    There is a lot of construction work going on along the coast of Jinkou, and in the eyes of Wenxian, Yilu and others, the Qing Dynasty is now a little arrogant. I guess the war in the northwest will surprise the Qing Dynasty, right?  The Western world doesn¡¯t know much about the Far East, but there are also elites in the Western world who are studying the situation in the Far East. Starting from Marco Polo, elites like the West have been paying attention to the Far East and to the declining empires like the Qing Dynasty.  £½£½£½£½ The weakness of the Qing court is civil strife, especially in the northwest. This time, the British and Russian plans in the northwest have the support of the locals in the Qing Dynasty, and there are quite a lot of them. Once the Central Asian forces invade the Qing Dynasty, and  Founding a country in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty would not sit idly by and ignore it.  Once the Qing Dynasty is busy quelling the chaos in the northwest, the British and French forces will have the opportunity to retreat. If the time is right, they may be able to destroy the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop!  The Qing army has made great progress in the past twenty years, but the troops in Central Asia also have many advanced firearms. The army in the Qing capital is elite, but I am afraid that the army in the northwest is not so elite. Everything will have to wait for the war situation in the northwest to come out.  , large-scale construction?  Are they building a tomb?  Now that France has withdrawn, everyone in England can only sigh. They missed this opportunity in the Far East and took advantage of Tsarist Russia in vain. With the support of the wealth of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that Tsarist Russia will rise soon. In order to contain Tsarist Russia, the final  In order to draw Tsarist Russia into the war situation in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty.  There are different opinions in England as to whether the Qing Dynasty should be destroyed or not. Some people think that the Qing Dynasty should be taken advantage of to take revenge, but most people think that the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia should be given a fair duel opportunity.  This is not only good for England.  balance of power in Europe.  It also has a great promotion effect.  After Crimea, Tsarist Russia will have another fight with the Qing Dynasty. In this way, England may have the opportunity to annex the two together. Europe without Tsarist Russia may be cleaner, right?  ¡°While the English were thinking about things, Yang Meng had already completed the Royal Academy of Sciences¡¯ plan.  The area covered is so large that the Royal Academy of Sciences has become a hugely expensive project. Although many things have been simplified for the sake of project progress, the budget given by Western engineers still exceeds 10 million taels of silver. The approximate cost should be  Between 12 million and 15 million.  YangMeng didn¡¯t frown at such an expense and immediately agreed, using wood from Millennium and local bricks and stones from Qing Dynasty.  The cement in Guangzhou is for convenience of transportation.  Yang Meng also specially dredged and deepened a tributary of the Haihe River, so that the construction site would have its own canal.  Five hundred thousand people must be completed within two years. This is the construction period set by Yang Meng, and the research of the Royal Academy of Sciences cannot be terminated because of the project.  In this way, in front of the British Navy, a large number of American merchants came ashore to discuss business with the Yang family. I am afraid that in the next few months, in addition to the ships of the British and French coalition forces, there will be many more American and American merchants on the Bohai Sea.  To clean out the merchant ships that were doing business, it was really unreasonable that the British and French allied forces could win after the battle was fought like this.  Yang Meng couldn't guess what everyone in England was thinking, but he knew that Tsarist Russia would be instigated by England to join the war in the near future. Once Tsarist Russia joined the war, Yang Meng would let Britain, France, Russia and even other countries in the world know how powerful the Qing Dynasty was.  The first step towards the real rise of power starts from the northwest, and when this step is taken, both the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia will pay the price of corpses and blood.  The project of the Royal Academy of Sciences continued. Andre, who came and went in a hurry, returned to Beitang, but the fleet he brought with him stayed in a place beyond the reach of the English fleet, in front of the construction site of the Royal Academy of Sciences.  In the Dragon Temple near Beitang, Yang Meng faced the French negotiating team alone. Perhaps in a few days, the British and French coalition forces would become the British and Russian coalition forces.  "Andre, my friend, what is your answer? Peace or war?" Although the Qing partner had a smile on his face, Andre still felt arrogance and superiority from him. This is what is called  Looking down?  France has never been so humble to the colonial people.  "We choose peace, but our compensation amount is only three million francs, and there are still a small number of cultural relics!" Defeat has always been shameful. Although it was for the benefit of France, in the face of General Yang and Andre's  I feel bad!  "Andre, are you kidding? What about the abrogation of the treaty? The compensation is too small! The French army was a direct participant in the burning of the five major gardens. Is it really necessary to start a war?" With such conditions, Yang Meng can do it  Accept it. After all, the Qing Dynasty is going to go to war with Tsarist Russia. It is unwise to have France as an enemy on land. Yang Meng does not want Europe to be united when he fights Tsarist Russia, butBenefit is like water in a sponge, it will be there if you squeeze it. Let France go easily, I'm afraid they don't have a long memory!  "Abolition of the treaty can only be signed privately. You can put forward some other conditions. A large amount of compensation is impossible!"  The deficit is serious and it is burdened with a large amount of debt. Although ten million francs is not much for France, France is not willing to pay such a loss.  "No money! Then give it to people! A thousand senior technicians in machinery, a thousand senior technicians in shipbuilding, a thousand senior technicians in making glass, a thousand technicians who can build railways, a thousand technicians who are proficient in mining and mineral processing,  Five thousand people are priced at seven million francs and will serve the Qing Dynasty for ten years!" Yang Meng was not without a purpose when he asked for people. During the Qianlong Dynasty, in order to make material utensils, also known as glassware, Emperor Qianlong asked France to provide them.  There is a precedent for talent in this area, but Yang Meng just wants more people.  "This" The other Andre can agree, but in the past it was impossible to have senior technicians in the shipbuilding industry. Technicians in the shipbuilding industry are also talented people in Europe. One thousand people are enough to build several shipyards.  "Of course, these people don't have to be French, Andre. We also have cooperation in the shipyards of the five countries. This time we negotiated a separate peace with France. There are also reasons for this. We, the Qing Dynasty, are not hostile to the Western world.  , this war was completely provoked by you, Britain and France. In view of my personal relationship, I have reduced the conditions for peace to the minimum. If you do not agree to such conditions, the peace talks between us will not proceed.  Go down. Don¡¯t worry. We will give you enough time to gather manpower. There are many small countries in Europe, and many talents in this field are available for employment, and we will not treat these people as slaves, five times as many as in Europe.  The salary, travel expenses back and forth, and free food and accommodation during the Qing Dynasty are all provided by us. "In a month or two, Tsarist Russia will be involved in the war, and Yang Meng has no intention of forcing France to fight.  Some of them are almost done, even if France mixes sand with 5,000 technicians.  There has to be something suitable, right?  After hearing Yang Meng¡¯s conditions, Andre¡¯s expression softened a lot. If he wasn¡¯t a French technician, this matter could still be handled. As for the so-called travel expenses, France didn¡¯t care about such a small amount of money.  After discussing it with the negotiating team, everyone agreed that it was feasible, and it was time to sign the formal contract.  Comparing the contract and the Yinqin in the previous contract, the two parties signed the contract very quickly. After all, defeat is not a glorious thing for France.  "Your Majesty the Duke, our personnel" "Give them the order to disarm and leave the coalition camp, and someone will naturally send them out. When disarming, don't discount it. It is best not to have a large number of French people in the coalition camp.  Weapons, otherwise, even if the contract is signed, we will retaliate! "National revenge is what Yang Meng wants to emphasize at home and abroad. If people abroad violate the interests of the Qing Dynasty, then the Qing Dynasty will retaliate.  If people in the country break the law and hurt people who should not be harmed, the country will take revenge on the person who broke the law on behalf of the injured person. Killing people to pay debts and paying back money is the basis of the law. Of course, since it talks about revenge,  The cost has also increased exponentially.  "Okay!" "Just wait in Beitang! Your military orders have arrived. In three to five days, your people will be withdrawn." Now that time waits for no one, it is only right to take France out of this war.  , otherwise in the future, if there is a war with Tsarist Russia, France will also join the war out of favour. After several contacts, Yang Meng also believed that the French army was extremely excellent. At this time, we should establish a country that can mobilize hundreds of thousands of elite armies on the European continent.  , is quite unwise.  France acted quickly, because France also had McMahon on the front line. With the guidance of the general, the French army broke away from the British and French allied forces in Zhangjiawan and Beitang in one day, and then disarmed.  .  There was no mercy for Yang Meng, a French soldier. After being stripped naked, they were all sent to the sea near the Royal Academy of Sciences construction site. Stripping them naked was also a fortune. How much was the musket worth? And there was a shortage of muskets in the northwest.  !  As for the other equipment of the French army, it is not useless at all. Maybe it will play an unexpected role in the Tsarist Russian battlefield in the future!  If the equipment of nearly 30,000 French troops appeared on the battlefield of Tsarist Russia, I don¡¯t know what the Tsar would be thinking secretly. As for the fact that the French army was stripped naked, I¡¯m afraid France would not admit it for the sake of face.  When deporting prisoners of war??, Yang Meng was also present. This feeling was wonderful. Looking at the miserable French soldiers, I felt very happy!  "Andre, those who know the current affairs are heroes. In the near future, France will know how wise this choice is! You'd better meet the number of technicians we agreed on as soon as possible, otherwise the war in the future is likely to spread.  !¡± There is no such thing as saying farewell. This scene is not suitable for displaying feelings. I think the mood of the French army is extremely unhappy. Yang Meng is not very good at being hot-faced and cold-blooded.  "Why don't you annihilate us?" French Army General McMahon, who was wrapped in a sailor's uniform, asked angrily. He was stripped naked and sent back to the country. His military career was probably coming to an end.  "It's not that I don't want to kill! I always want to kill you all, but killing you all is not in line with the interests of the Qing Dynasty. For the benefit of the 40 million people behind me, I decided to tolerate it. I hope we will not be on the battlefield in the future  If you meet me, I would still like to kill you all if possible!" In response to McMahon's question, Yang Meng answered truthfully. It's not that he doesn't want to kill but that he can't. Maybe he will have the opportunity to kill in the future!  Maybe Yang Meng won¡¯t need to take action in the future!  Now in Europe, a powerful enemy of France is rising. After listening to McMahon's words, YangMeng was thinking about whether Germany and France are the same people. If not, it would be a good sight to instigate a genocide over there.  .  "Benefits?" After hearing the translation, McMahon was also a little stunned. It seemed that the Qing Dynasty was not based on the emperor's will as the legend.  "That's right! It's interest. The army belongs to the country and must serve the interests of the country and the people. Maybe in a few years, you will understand that compared with killing you, the interests the Qing Dynasty seeks are much greater. In this case  In the face of our own interests, I don¡¯t bother to kill you. Go back and watch how the Qing Dynasty rises in the sea of ??blood. The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are no worse than those of any other country in Europe. I hope we won¡¯t see you again in the future!  Soldiers like you mean that my men are about to pick up the butcher's knife again!"
