Chapter 181: Unwinnable Victory (3)

Seven million taels of indemnity, if nothing else, let's talk about the warships of the nations that were sunk and damaged at the mouth of Dagu! Of the nine beached battleships, at least five of them were destroyed, and the price of these five battleships alone was more than seven million taels, right?

More than 100,000 people from eight countries traveled long distances to the Qing Dynasty, and the expenses on the road and the military funds consumed were more than 7 million taels of silver, the pensions for the soldiers killed in the war, the medical expenses of the wounded soldiers, and the guns and equipment lost in the war, not to mention that only one million per country could be solved.

The 450 million loans, although the ministers of various countries present here are willing to accept it, but the premise of 7 million indemnity is a bit of a.

"Your Highness Baylor, seven million, that's too little, isn't it?"

The British envoy Lao Sa had a gloomy face and raised an objection, 40,000 to 7 million, such a condition that no one can accept.

"Lao Sa, seven million is a lot!

Ben Belle is here to settle accounts for you, a scuffle in Jingu has caused the displacement of nearly a million refugees, and the resettlement of them is ten taels of silver, which is 10 million, which is only the smallest expense.

In order to prevent the epidemic, the state capitals of the Qing Dynasty have invested tens of millions of taels of silver, in order to prevent the plague from continuing to spread from the Qing Dynasty, the cost of epidemic prevention is not a small amount, tens of millions, tens of thousands, just open your mouth!

That's not all! 10,000,000 will be gone, dredging the waterway and building a railway, which can not only expand the market in China for all friendly countries, but also make a big contribution to the epidemic prevention of our Qing Dynasty, Lao Sa. If you want to completely dredge a river, such as the Yellow River and the Grand Canal, a project must not be worth tens of millions of taels of silver?

Two rivers, 10,000 taels of silver is not enough. The first battle of Jingu destroyed the Haihe River, and it was fifty or sixty million, what is the matter? Forty and fifty million is gone.

To build a railway, why can't you build two or three million, Lao Sa. You count the railways you want, thirty or fifty, right? If you don't get it right, you will get more than 100, and when the silver comes to flower, no matter how much it is, it is not too much!

The money was spent, and the military funds of the Boxers were to be exterminated. Not yet! In a big battle in Jingu, our Qing army suffered heavy losses, 500,000 people abandoned the corpses in the Jingu area, rebuilt an army of 500,000 people, and the silver taels consumed could be counted by tens of thousands, in addition, there were all kinds of expenses.

With the fiscal and tax capabilities of the Qing Dynasty. In recent decades, the 40,000,000 yuan borrowed has reached the limit. Maybe in 10 or 8 years, my fiscal and tax revenues will increase, but now, this amount is the limit.

In this epidemic prevention, I Daqing will do my best for all friends, and all friends can't let me feel cold in Daqing, right? ”

Gui Shun is complaining and settling accounts. I heard that Li Hongzhang has been grinding his teeth, this is a good calculation! One comes and goes. Gui Shun was embarrassed to talk about the foreign devils.

"Your Highness, Baelor, your distress. We can understand it, but you also have to understand our suffering, 7 million is too little, how about 70 million? ”

Seven million, a fraction of the military budget is not enough, Lao Sa naturally wants to fight, the amount of 70 million exports, most of the ministers have a smile of approval on their faces, only Xiaocun still has a grim face.

"Seventy million, Lao Sa, kill me!

Now I am in the Qing Dynasty, 70 million, Ben Baylor really can't take it out!

You want 7 million, I am grateful to Dade in the Qing Dynasty, and if you want 70 million, it will cut off my life in the Qing Dynasty!

If the situation in the north is like that of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, I will be in danger! Without the Qing Dynasty, the interests of all friends in China are not just a piece of paper? This time, all the friends suffered some losses, and we took advantage of the Qing Dynasty, and when we got up, there will be a big reward! ”

Gui Shun bit the number of seven million and did not say anything, while crying poor, while talking about business and bargaining with Sa Daoyi, although bargaining is a common thing in peace talks, but such a bargaining in the market, Lao Sa and others have never seen it, shrugged helplessly, Lao Sa's meaning is very clear, 70 million indemnity, can not be lower.

"Old Sa! My brother Sa, you have to speak!

How do I know how much you want?

Seven million less? Is it really less? What about 7.5 million? ”

Shrugged his shoulders like Lao Sa, Gui Shun finally relented and added 500,000, hearing such a number, Sa Daoyi was still sighing, this Gui Beile of the Qing Kingdom is too stingy!

Shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders, Lao Sa still didn't speak, expressing his inner dissatisfaction with his actions, Gui Shun didn't care about Lao Sa's actions, and continued to lay out the facts and reason and cry poor, after crying poor for half an hour, Gui Shun took a step back and increased the compensation to eight million.

Looking at Gui Shun, who was full of anger in the market, Lao Li also kept shaking his head, when did these foreign devils become so easy to deal with? In the past, when he negotiated, there was a slight unsatisfactory place, and the foreign devils often made threats, how could they be as speechless as now?

Ink to night, the amount of compensation can be increased to 8.5 million, during the peace talks, Gui Shun can not puff his teeth, smoking addiction is a mischief, Gui Shun does not hide it, take this opportunity to really cry, this crying, listen to the ministers of various countries crooked eyes, Lao Li also listened to the eyes of the eyes, and finally this peace talks, because Gui Shun and Li Hongzhang are not supported, in the second half of the night helplessly.

Although all parties to the negotiations, especially the European and American countries, want to quickly resolve the mess in the Qing Dynasty, peace talks are peace talks, and some things need to be discussed in detail, and it is simply impossible to solve all problems in one day.

At night, Gui Shun returned to Baylor Mansion and fell asleep, until the next day, he didn't get up until the next day, Li Dacheng had no choice but to push off the day's peace talks on the grounds that Gui Shun was accidentally cold, and now, the devils of the seas still need a certain amount of time to digest and digest, and the current Qing Dynasty is not afraid of delaying time, the more it is delayed, the more beneficial it is to the Qing side, and so that traditional Chinese medicine has played a role in epidemic prevention, the situation of the devils of the seas will be more embarrassing.

Gui Shun, who has no thoughts, can lie down peacefully, but Li Hongzhang can't sleep, now the situation of the peace talks is very good, and he also has some impatience in his heart, and he came to Baylor Mansion in the middle of the morning, and heard that Gui Shun was still sleeping, and Li Hongzhang's face also showed an unswerving color.

"Lao Li, what's the hurry. Take your time!

It's no harm to us if you drag it out!

Peacetalk, just like this basic skill, slow work and meticulous work! ”

From early in the morning, the beans are planted until mid-morning. Lao Li didn't entertain him well when he came, and after dipping his hands in the medicinal liquid, Li Dacheng opened his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was something that Lao Li didn't like to listen to.

This is a good time to strike while the iron is hot, and wait for the foreign devils to have a way to prevent the epidemic. The Qing Dynasty is about to miss a good opportunity.

Looking at General Li Ershen's appearance, he had a bottom in his heart, and Li Hongzhang was also afraid that he would be too hurried and affect his state of mind, so he looked at General Li Ershen's hands immersed in the liquid. He also started to knock on the side.

"Little brother is practicing boxing and kicking?

After the first battle of Jingu, the little brother didn't have to focus on these rough jobs, and it was better to think more about the overall situation. ”

Although there is a saying that the poor are rich and martial, but the rich and martial generally refers to those who are still well-off, and the children of the really rich and noble families, how can they practice their fists and feet hard.

Li Hongzhang is also half a member of the army, and he also knows the hard work of practicing his fists and feet, and Li Ershen will practice it now. I'm afraid it's the hardest and hardest stupid kung fu, which is meaningless in Lao Li's opinion!

"Lao Li. This is wrong, there are thousands of mansions and tens of millions of family assets, but they are just things outside the body, only this ability is their own!

If he didn't have the ability to kill, would Lao Tzu be able to climb back alive from Jingu? No!

It's too easy to stand in a high position and play tricks! Walk forward and fight to the death. It's too hard!

The whole country wants to play tricks, who will go up and fight? This is true of the Qing Dynasty. That's why! Wuju was abolished at will, in Lao Tzu's opinion. It is the imperial examination that should have been abolished a long time ago!

Not to mention the place, just these high-ranking people in Beijing, they can't do things, they can't make trouble, they can't make trouble, they play with a woman, and their sisters think that their guys are not long enough, just these wastes, what can you expect them to do? In Lao Tzu's view, killing Liwei is their only use.

You can be regarded as a person who has traveled the world, you look at the world's powers, which one is not the capable and the mediocre?

Talking about origin? Push forward two hundred years, this Qing Dynasty is just a ginseng farmer in the mountains, Orion origin, in your eyes is also a lowly goods, two hundred years later, I don't know how many lowly goods in your eyes, can be in a high position?

Speaking of origin, he fell behind, at this time, the most important thing to talk about is ability, Lao Tzu has killing skills in his hands, who stands in the way of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill whom?

Under the sword and gun, who dares to disagree?

Peace talks, rely on you, can't succeed!

Relying on Lao Tzu, stepping on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood from Jingu to Jingshi, how can there be one thing that cannot be done?

At this time, it is not about righteousness, but about tyranny! If this is a national chaos, how much capital do you have for self-preservation?

Lao Tzu has!

With Lao Tzu's scheming and the skills in his hands, no matter how chaotic this world is, Lao Tzu can also eat and drink spicy food and be in a high position, you literati can only be abused goods!

After listening to this, Lao Li, what do you think when you look at Lao Tzu's hard work on basic skills? ”

The contempt in Lao Li's words, provoked Li Dacheng a little unhappy, it was Lao Li like this, so that the Qing Dynasty weakened step by step, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty can always maintain the tradition of riding and archery, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty can always attach importance to the value of force, who would dare to oppose it? Who can reverse it?

Foolish people, forbidden weapons, the Manchus are doing it, and those Han ministers who are outstanding in the eyes of others are also doing it, a country has fallen to this point, the Manchus are hateful, and what is even more hateful is Li Hongzhang, these seemingly loyal Han ministers.

The peace talks have just made some improvements, and Li Hongzhang Li Zhongtang, who has read the glory of the world for 30 years, can't bear the loneliness, and he is in a high position, which makes Li Dacheng look down on him, and the country still has a long way to go!

What really has a big effect is not this, but the change of people's hearts, and the people's hearts will not change, and there will only be more peace treaties in the future, and they will be humiliated more, and the country is poor and weak, and the people are poor, and it is not only the problem of the rulers, but also the cowardice of the people.

"It's really useful!"

After listening to the absurd remarks of General Li Ershen, Li Hongzhang only agreed with half of them, which was in conflict with his world view, and it was not the old way to seek the country by force.

"You don't believe it? Don't believe it!

I'll show you in the future!

Alas......

I'm afraid you won't be able to see it! ”

Just like the corner on the stage, Li Dacheng also wants to have an informed and interesting audience, but Lao Li's life limit is approaching, and the best audience is about to hang, and he can only cry out in vain!

"Little brother, when doing state affairs, you should be safe!"

"Safe? That's not right! You, Lao Li, have been very steady all the way, right? The result? A defeat in the first afternoon, the liver and brain are smeared!

Lao Tzu acted recklessly and was extremely tyrannical, so what?

The mountains of corpses and blood fought in the first battle of Jingu, and the foreign devils looked at the Beijing division from afar, and they could not enter an inch!

The spread of the plague, in just one month the world killed and injured millions of people in the world, and there will be many more in the future, what is the result? Lao Maozi was defeated in a hurry in the three eastern provinces, and the foreign devils compromised and took the initiative to seek peace!

Can you do that? You can't do it! ”

Listening to the angry voice of General Li Ershen, Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly, General Li Ershen in Baylor's Mansion has always been a little stingy, he has said so much today, I am afraid that what he says is not important, what really matters is his idea to fight.

"Little brother, tell me, what are you going to do next?" (To be continued)
