Chapter 296: Yang Xiaoshan's guerrilla warfare
Yang Xiaoshan knew that a weak country had no diplomacy, and if he wanted to sign the treaty he wanted, he had to put some pressure on these foreigners, otherwise they would not let go easily, and he could only use unconventional means.
Hu Xueyan was temporarily requisitioned by Yang Xiaoshan in a secret place in the capital, where all the well-known bigwigs in the capital were gathered, and they all came after receiving a notice from the Admiral of the Nine Gates.
Yang Xiaoshan was masked, looking at so many heroes in the green forest, secretly frightened, this admiral's way is really wide, and he has called so many people.
Some of these people have a monopoly on slaughtering, some have a monopoly on brewing, some have a monopoly on tea and salt, some occupy mountain roads, some occupy waterways, some occupy bridges, some are in charge of thieves, some are in charge of prostitutes, some are in charge of casinos, some are responsible for debt collection, some are responsible for money lending, and some are responsible for kidnapping ticketsγγγγγγ
In short, the worst and most disgraceful three sects and nine streams of this era have all arrived, and of course their common Bai Dao eldest brother is this Nine Gate Admiral Hatu.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Zhao, please do you a favor today. Foreign devils invaded Tianjin and destroyed my whole family. My parents, wife, and children were all burned to death by them, and Zhao did some business and made some money, but now it's useless to ask for all this. Now take it all out and honor all the heroes, and ask the heroes to avenge me, kill a black devil soldier (Indian) twenty taels, and kill a white devil officer forty taels, according to the head. In order to show sincerity, I, Zhao, gave each of the heroes present two hundred taels of silver first. Since someone Zhao can ask the Admiral to invite everyone on my behalf, everyone should be able to trust my credibility. "Yang Xiaoshan made up a story, this matter can't be related to the government, it can only be done secretly.
Yang Xiaoshan's words caused a commotion among these Jianghu people, although these people did all bad things, but people still talked about loyalty and filial piety, and it was natural for them to avenge their parents and the whole family.
"Damn, I've seen those foreigners unpleasant, we'll avenge you for this revengeγγγγγγ"
"Even if we don't have any money, we're ready to do itγγγγγγγ"
"I'm the best at kidnapping and killing people, you've got the right personγγγγγγγ
γγγγγγγ
The heroes have everything they say, but the most important reason is that the price Yang Xiaoshan gave was very high. You must know that you can buy a maid for three taels of silver, and this trade is very tempting for them.
Yang Xiaoshan is well aware of the nature of the Chinese, as long as there is money to make and there is a market, the Chinese will use their full wisdom to do this well.
Sure enough, when the heads of the Anglo-French alliance became a commodity equal to silver, the underworld bosses crossed the sea and showed their powers.
Of course, the bigwigs won't do it themselves, the younger brother can do this job, and the younger brother can do it, and those who can't do this work can subcontract it to others.
So the heads of foreigners became orders, the prices were different, and those who were interested also earned the difference from them, in short, to mobilize more people to do this work.
Soon, those foreign soldiers in the capital felt that many people around them looked at them differently, and that kind of eyes were like looking at gold and silver, and a murderous aura came to their faces.
Some foreign soldiers who are alone in doing bad things, robbing money and raping are the first to be unlucky, this kind of person is best killed, and they can be easily killed by setting up an ambush.
And then there is the kind of person who goes out in twos and threes, which requires several people to join forces and cooperate well to kill.
Of course, the Anglo-French forces quickly noticed this, and restrained the soldiers from leaving the barracks, and if they wanted to leave, they had to go out in a group.
As a result, the difficulty of "business" has increased, but the wisdom of the people is infinite, and the means of killing people have also risen.
There were those who wore foreign military uniforms and pretended to be foreigners to enter the barracks, some put poison in the food of foreigners, and some threw bombs into the barracks.
Of course, there are also people who are caught by foreigners, but these people are all rotten boys who have nothing, and they can't ask anything at all, and some people even confess that they just did it just to eat a steamed bun.
Erjin hurriedly found Prince Gong to negotiate, Prince Gong also spread his hands, there is no regular army of the imperial court in this capital, this matter has nothing to do with the government, it is all done by civilian gangs, and the government has nothing to do.
was really forced by the foreigners, and Prince Gong could only send a few people over to help stand up for a while, but it was useless to deal with it. The heads of foreign devils are too valuable, and the killing continues.
Ten days later, the British and French took the initiative to withdraw from the city of Beijing, dug trenches outside the city to build barracks, and protected the soldiers layer by layer, and then took the initiative to ask for negotiations with Prince Gong, wanting to end the treaty a few days earlier, they were also killed in Beijing, they lost dozens of people, and now these people have robbed a lot of treasures just to save their lives and make a fortune home.
Yang Xiaoshan's strategy is almost the same as the result of the battle of 30,000 monks and kings at Sanli Bridge, and the price paid is only a few thousand taels of silver, which is still Hu Xueyan's money.
So the negotiations began again, and this time Ergin was clearly not as energetic as last time.
"Kowloon in Hong Kong can be changed to lease, but the land north of Heilongjiang is a matter for you and the Russians, and we express neutrality and do not interfere." After so many days of worry, Erjin's attitude really relaxed, but he still failed to meet Yang Xiaoshan's request.
"Your Excellency, our request is not only to help the Qing Dynasty, but also to help you British. This is the original treaty of Aihui of the Russians, and the third article above stipulates that the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River are only allowed to pass through the ships of the Qing Dynasty and Russia, which excludes you, Britain and France. "Yang Xiaoshan asked people to take out the Aihui Treaty and hand it over to Erjin.
Yang Xiaoshan glanced at Gong Banlun, Gong Banlun understood what he meant, and muttered in front of Erjin for a long time. Ergin's face really changed, obviously because Gong Banlun was angry.
"These hateful Russians, what strength do they have to exclude the warships of our British Empire? They don't remember the days of the fiasco in the Crimea! You can't sign this Aihui Treaty with them, and we support your territorial sovereignty north of Heilongjiang! Ergin finally agreed to Yang Xiaoshan's plan, and included opposition to the Aihui Treaty and recognition of the Qing Dynasty's territorial sovereignty north of the Heilongjiang River in the Treaty of Beijing.
The negotiations reached a consensus, and Prince Gong and the British and French representatives Ergin signed Yang Xiaoshan's version of the "Beijing Treaty".
Prince Gong was still a little worried about the Russians, "What if the Russians call?" He asked Yang Xiaoshan a little worriedly.
"Don't worry, the Russians have not eased up their defeat in Crimea a few years ago, and it is impossible to send troops to our east all the way. Even if they come to persecute us again, we can put the blame on Britain and France, just say that they do not agree to us signing the "Aihui Treaty", and let them talk to Britain and France. Yang Xiaoshan comforted Prince Gong.
Prince Gong nodded, the Chinese are the best at prevarication, this is a good way.
Just when he was completely relaxed, thinking that he had successfully completed his task. A cronie ran over in a panic and almost fell in front of Prince Gong.
"What's the matter? Such a gaffe! Prince Gong said dissatisfied.
"Oh no, lord. Emperor...... The emperor died! The cronies panicked.
"What!" Prince Gong and Yang Xiaoshan beside him opened their mouths wide at the same time.
