Section 85 The peace talks are staged in full force
"On the 9th day of the sixth month of the current year of the Western calendar, that is, on the 23rd day of the fourth month of the Chinese calendar, the prince of alcohol was appointed as the first special envoy by decree (Annex 2); Before going to the Great German Emperor, he represented the Great Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the regret of the country. Prince Alcohol has complied with the order to set off from Beijing on the 12th day of July of the current year of the Western calendar, that is, on the 27th day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. 2. The Great Qing State has declared that a monument of inscription has been erected at the place where he was killed, matching the taste of the minister, and listing the purpose of the Great Qing Emperor to regret the murderous incident, written in Latin, German, and Chinese. On July 22 of the current year of the Western calendar, that is, on the 7th day of the sixth month of the Chinese calendar, the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Great Qing Dynasty sent Wen Zhi to the Plenipotentiary Minister of the Imperial Mission of Tai Germany (Annex 3). Now in the murdered premises to build a memorial arch, full of streets, has been built on June 25 of the Western calendar, that is, the tenth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. In addition, due to the murder of the secretary of the embassy of the country on the Great Day, the Great Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty issued an edict on June 18 of the Western calendar, that is, on the third day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar, to send the household servant Lang Natong as a special envoy and minister, and went to the Great Day before the Great Emperor of the country, on behalf of the Great Qing Emperor and the country's regret. Rong Lu old thief read in a row, Qing Wang Ye and Li Zhongtang both had a poker face board there, and the ambassadors of various countries for peace talks nodded one after another to say that this article can be recognized, in fact, as long as the Germans do not have cat's eyes, other countries are too lazy to care about these idle films, after all, trade, land occupation, and spoils are the trilogy that everyone attaches the most importance to.
The next is the clause of "punishing the ministers who harm the countries and people", Duanjun Wang Zaiyi and Fuguo Gong Zailan were sent to Xinjiang to be imprisoned forever; Prince Zhuang Zaixun, the Metropolitan Procuratorate Zuodu Yu Shi Yingnian, and Zhao Shuqiao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, gave an order to commit suicide; Qixiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Xu Chengyu, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, immediately carried out the Fa-rectification; Shang Shugangyi, a university scholar, Xu Tong, and Li Bingheng, the former governor of Sichuan, have all died and have been dismissed. These are just a few of the hundred or so fools. After this catastrophe, the forces of Qingliu and the conservative nobles were almost wiped out in one fell swoop. The only difference from later generations is that Brother Yuxian, who should have been sentenced to the canonical punishment, was offset by a merit because of his great merit in saving the driver, and an edict was issued to dismiss Shanxi Governor Yuxian to be investigated, and as long as Brother Yuxian, who saved his life, could endure loneliness, it was only a matter of time before he recovered, of course, the premise was that Lafayette was still in power.
The brains of living people or the heads of dead people chopped off by this chirp are actually not so much the victims of the imperial court in order to appease the anger of the allied powers, but rather the achievements of the Western-style elites who borrowed knives to kill people. Among them, of course, there are many second-class goods who believe in the slogan of boxing bandits to help clear and destroy foreigners, but more of them are Qingliu conservative forces who vainly try to use the boxing bandits to counterattack foreign devils and Westernists. Their plan to blame Jiangdong is not bad, but unfortunately they didn't recognize the Boxers, a teammate who is stupider than a pig, so being cheated on is also an inevitable end.
As for the so-called arms embargo clause in paragraph 5, it is basically a joke. As long as the price can be afforded, even the queen's bath towel can be given to the profiteers of various countries who came to the Qing Dynasty, and they will not take this clause to heart at all. Don't look at the old man who turned his head and talked happily with the Germans, it seems that he sings the tune of the "arms embargo" very highly, and he is not allowed to introduce arms production lines for four years, in fact, he sold me a batch of Grimm guns captured by the Ziyi Army on the wine table last night, and even hinted that my arsenal in Mumbai will update its equipment recently, to see if I am interested in picking up some foreign garbage. After paying an additional £5,000, next month a synthetic line of mercury and picric acid marked as British soda ash production equipment on a customs declaration will be landed at Shijiu and shipped to Yanzhou. The embargo can only tie the hands and feet of those inland provinces, and I believe that the arms trade in Liangguang, Liangjiang and Shandong may be more prosperous, after all, the coalition army in the capital with more than 100,000 Qing troops and hundreds of thousands of boxers as targets, really showing the power of a new type of guns, this kind of live advertising at the door of the house is more convincing than anything else, those who are a little careful about the governor of the party and the slightly larger local tyrants and inferior gentry are far more courageous than the imperial court in updating their armaments.
The subsequent terms of opening embassies, stationing troops along the route, and abandoning the Dagu Fort were also well understood by both sides, so after some procedural bargaining, they were basically signed in accordance with the terms of later generations.
As for the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen in accordance with the discretion of the countries to change to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, before the six trains, I think this article may not necessarily be the original intention of the Westerners, but more of the long-cherished wish of the Westerners, otherwise the Prime Minister's Yamen will become the target of the conservative forces' full rejection, the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs included in the six ministries, and the special agency of the Westernists will become the official permanent body of the central government of the Qing Dynasty. After all, the Prime Minister's Yamen is an organization that does things, and it is necessary to establish or not, and to have a grade or not, its importance depends entirely on the degree of tightness of the foreigners' persecution of the Qing Dynasty. If the court pays more attention to the prime minister's yamen, it means that the foreign devils are going to find trouble, and the status of the prime minister's yamen has gone up, but the possibility of becoming a scapegoat or punching bag for the court has also risen, making the officials of the prime minister's yamen as contradictory as charcoal sellers. The provisions of this article have made the Prime Minister's Yamen the head of the six ministries, just as the original temporary institutions such as the "Rectification Office" and the "Pollution Control Office" that could be abolished at any time have suddenly become the first-class permanent institutions such as the National Development and Reform Commission and the Department of Finance. Eight * nine out of ten of the prime minister's yamen, which was originally a den of Westernization, are officials of the Westernization faction, so the most beneficial people of this clause are probably the bureaucrats of the Westernization faction, if you want to say that this has nothing to do with them, hehe, do you believe it? I didn't see a smile on Li Zhongtang's thin face, which had just been a coffin face, a typical face of successful treachery.
As one of the few treaties that did not cede land, the most important reason why I was able to know about the "Xinchou Treaty" was his 450 million taels of indemnity and the Chinese customs and salt tax that were completely controlled by the foreigners as a guarantee. It's a pity, although I argued one by one, Qing Wangye's dead face did not admit it, Ronglu's old thief blew his beard and stared at him, Li Zhongtang was half-dead and pitiful, and even Yuan Shikai and Yuan Xiangcheng, who were full of fat, cried and wiped their tears when they were emotional, but these evil ghosts who shrunk their cheeks and waited for blood were like staunch Bolshevik fighters, who could speak, scold, slap, slap, and even cry with you to shed tears. You can take a plane, but you can't discount it". Therefore, the amount of compensation for the final contract has not decreased, and it is still the familiar 450 million, but the annual interest rate has been reduced to 3 percent, which can virtually save tens of millions for the Qing Dynasty. In order to reduce the annual interest rate of one percent, after I tried to play the piano to the cow n times, I moved the projector that the machinery factory had just given me to test the production into the Liuguo Hotel in a fit of anger, and used the analysis report provided by our chamber of commerce overnight to make a two-dimensional coordinate chart of the contraction and expansion of the market and the growth curve of the market share, and connected with more than a dozen pages of charts on the development of the private market. Finally, a number of European and American powers such as Britain, France, Germany, and the United States basically understood the fact that in the early stage of recovery after the Gengzi War, excessive squeezing of the Qing Dynasty's cash * gold and silver could only slow down the pace of recovery in the huge market of the Qing Dynasty, thus rejecting more imported goods. For the sake of the fundamental interests of various commodity-exporting countries, the European and American powers have agreed in principle to equal principal and interest repayment and a fair annual interest rate of 3 percent. In front of the Qing Dynasty, it can be filled with a large one, but in the face of European and American powers, polar bears and dwarf monkeys can only be soft.
I'm going to sign in the afternoon, and I'm worried about how to get out? Komura Shoutaro jumped out again, insisting that China's raw silk and tea exports should also be included in the list of commodities for compulsory compensation, and that high taxes should be used to repay the compensation. Xiao Cun said proudly, dancing with his hands, squeezed Dou Nale next to him aside, the old man also smacked a little taste, daring to love the Japanese is by the tax indemnity from the head to hit him to compete with the export of raw silk and tea, when the time comes, there is no Qing Dynasty, the world's largest supplier of raw silk and tea, the second largest exporter of raw silk Japan monopoly market opportunity even if picked up, but this is not in the interests of Britain, After all, an oligopoly market is not good news for the UK, which imports tens of millions of pounds of tea every year.
Brother Dou Nale was still looking down to calculate the gains and losses, and with a loud "snap", he heard someone slap the table, and the bowl flew and jingled and rolled. Suddenly, a mist hit, startling an old English gentleman, and said in his heart: "Could it be that someone else can't take a bath at this negotiation site?" When he looked up, he saw a horse monkey with a tea dregs hanging on the cheeks of a horse monkey beside him, and if it weren't for the Italian minister on the other side of the road, he would have jumped over the negotiation table.
"Yaga, you"
"Eight of your sister, you little Japanese not only look miniaturized, but also have a more obscene mind" I picked up the empty bowl that rolled down in the center of the table: "You third grandson, why don't you say that you will tax tung oil and coal, which are also exported in large quantities?" Why don't you say that you will impose high tariffs on Han Yeping's iron ore? Because these things are all exported to little Japan, other countries can't get them. You are afraid that high tariffs will damage your little Japan's purse strings, but how can you be embarrassed to harm the interests of other countries? How many tea raw silk does China export to the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Germany, etc. every year, these taxes are not passed on to importers and consumers in various countries. I didn't expect that a dwarf monkey like you, who has not fully evolved, would actually play such a small calculation that harms others and benefits himself. I usually underestimate you! ”
Poke the lung tube, angry Komura almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot, Komura Shoutaro, who had lost his mind, roared and broke free from the arm of the Italian minister next to him, picked up his own teacup and threw it at me, what a chance, I screamed while being distracted, quietly slid sideways, a lion shook his head, and his head and the teacup came into close contact.
The "click" teacup was very conscious and broke into eight pieces on the table, I also took advantage of the situation to cover my head with my right hand, and raised my left hand tremblingly to point at the stunned village, "Okay, you are ruthless..." The mouth is not big, but the bleeding on the forehead still looks quite serious, Lao Yuan was indignant for a while, and glared at Xiao Cun viciously with a cold snort, at this time Xiao Cun was at a loss, he couldn't figure it out himself, isn't that arrogant guy a military general, how can I be a dry old man who can have a teacup ko, could it be that Aunt Amaterasu is possessed? Originally, it was reasonable, but it also changed, and the rice was very good.
I was carried out of the venue by a group of long-term attendants, and the Chinese medicine doctor who was waiting at the Liuguo Hotel hurriedly came over to call for acupuncture, and the bleeding quickly stopped. The Western doctor at the British Embassy also wrapped gauze around my head, and I was sent to the hospital for observation and treatment, pretending to be unconscious. At this time, the venue was also cleaned, and the peace talks were reopened, and I was originally an attaché, and the peace talks had actually taken shape in general, so the final terms were finally finalized. When Wadsey said that he would perform the formalities of signing and exchanging letters tomorrow, Rong Lu and Yuan Shikai looked at each other with a sharp heart, and now they had no way to run, with the entry into force of the "Xinchou Treaty", his own name was even better with Qin Hui and his old brother with the signing of this treaty. At this time, the two of them turned their eyes to look at the vacant seats around them, and spoke highly of me in their hearts:
"This traitor!"
