The Shengjing general Qiying negotiated with the British envoy Pu Dingcha to reconcile the war, and soon spread to most of the Qing Dynasty under the intention of the British to publicize it.

Although the people of the Qing Dynasty who experienced the war of the British army were extremely dissatisfied with the invasion of foreigners, their hearts were also full of hope for a peaceful solution.

On this day, the day agreed with the British had arrived, and the elderly were neatly dressed, and their divine light burst out, and they marched towards the Xiaguan River in Nanjing under the escort of Ulantai.

For the British, the reason why they hyped up the peace talks was nothing more than to show off that they had won the battle and could defeat the powerful Qing Dynasty, and in this peace talks, the British would definitely be the party that benefited, and the Qing Dynasty would inevitably suffer, and it could also hit the self-confidence of the Qing Dynasty people, stir up internal contradictions in the Qing Dynasty, and prepare for future aggression.

In his opinion, he came with glory on this trip, he was about to end the contradiction between China and Britain, and he was the hero of the nation and the pride of the nation.

……

On the flagship Kanghuali, Qiying, as the representative of the Chinese side, sat on the left side of the square table, and Ulantai stood beside him.

On the other side, it was the Englishman Pu Dingcha, his face was full of smiles at the moment, looking at the old man in front of him with long braids and a domed feather official hat, he couldn't help but despise it in his heart.

It's just that the Qing Dynasty, which was busy with self-esteem, thought it was very powerful, and didn't take them in the eyes of the West, but how could they have thought that after a scientific and technological progress and an industrial revolution, the West was just a barbarian race in their eyes, and they had already surpassed them far away.

Now, the Qing Dynasty is just fat on the board, and anyone can still share a piece.

"Mr. Qiying, let's start now!" Pu Dingcha's words, which were translated by foreigners, came out.

Unfortunately, no one in the Qing Dynasty understood English and there was no translator, so this time the interpreter of the Qing Dynasty was an Englishman, and he translated the words of Qi Ying.

"Yes, Mr. Pudingcha."

Qiying didn't know how to address the other party, but she didn't want to take the initiative to lower her posture, and when she saw the other party calling herself Mr., she also called the other party the same.

"Mr. Qiying, in this Sino-British war, you were defeated, but our side suffered heavy losses, so your Qing Dynasty needs to compensate." Puding investigation went straight to the point, without the slightest obstruction.

"Yes, yes, as it should be." Qi Ying nodded, "I don't know what your country is going to ask." ”

"Our requirements are very simple, they will be written on a piece of paper, and as a treaty, you just need to sign and acknowledge it."

"Treaty?"

"Yes, since we signed a treaty in your Nanjing, this treaty will be called the Treaty of Nanjing!" Pu Dingcha was a little excited, his face flushed slightly, if the signing of this treaty is completed, this side can become a very effective means to slowly carve up and weaken the Qing Dynasty, and can prepare for their continued invasion of the Qin Dynasty.

Qi Ying was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Britain to conduct peace talks in this form, he was not stupid, he naturally knew what it meant, that is, let the British write conditions on the treaty, and they obeyed.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "This, I still have to report to the emperor before I can do it." ”

Qiying was cautious all his life, even if Emperor Daoguang agreed, he would not make a claim and decided to report it again.

"Yes, it just so happens that we also need time to draw up a treaty, and besides, there is no rush to sign this treaty, let's start the signing ceremony of the treaty in two days!" Pu Ding Cha suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.

……

Guiping County, Guangxi.

Even Guan Fu himself couldn't believe it, he was released in just three days, and he gradually accepted here, and even accepted the Taiping Army.

And this is inevitable, as far as he can see, he hears the people praise the Taiping army for loving the people, praising the benevolence and righteousness of King Hongtian, and as far as he can see, the people are full of joy and warmth...... All of this made him deeply feel the difference in the organization of the Taiping Army.

On the other hand.

He also heard about the situation in the Qing Dynasty, peace talks with Britain, warriors are no longer reused, Hong Renkong said to him in prison that day is an ironclad fact, recently, he has heard that the Qing Dynasty will negotiate peace with Britain, as if to sign a treaty of Nanjing.

The treaty has not yet been drafted, but there has been gossip that it is said that the Qing Dynasty will cede land and pay compensation, which is very insulting.

However, Emperor Daoguang was silent about this, advocating to satisfy the British, and did not have the slightest desire to resist, which made Guan Fu extremely sad and secretly wept.

In the meeting hall, Shi Dakai and Hong Renkong were analyzing the current situation.

"Commander, this Qing Dynasty has repeatedly made concessions, and what kind of Nanjing Treaty will be signed, do you say that this can stop the war and satisfy Britain?" Shi Dakai naturally knew the recent news, the eyes of the Heaven and Earth Society were widely spread, and the high-level of the Taiping Army even knew about Qiying's every move.

"Treaty of Nanjing, hum! Since I, Hong Renkong, have crossed over here, I will not let it succeed, and no one wants to occupy the country of my Han people. Hong Renkong muttered, his eyes firm.

"What are you talking about, Commander?"

"It's nothing, the greed of the British is not something that can be eliminated by blind forbearance, today is the Treaty of Nanjing, tomorrow is the Treaty of Beijing, the Treaty of Xijing, there will never be an end, the Qing Dynasty is ignorant, digging its own grave, we must organize."

"Commander, how is it organized?" Shi Dakai was puzzled.

While talking. Suddenly, a soldier came to report, Guan Fu came to visit, Hong Renkong was suddenly overjoyed, patted Shi Da and said with a smile: "I really said that Cao Cao arrived, Cao Cao arrived, Da Kai, the focus is on Guan Fu." ”

In the council hall, Guan Fu didn't say a word after seeing Hong Renkong, and was about to kneel, but was pulled by Hong Renkong, who was quick-eyed, "Brother Guan, you, come here again, I said, this is an act that insults human dignity, and it has long been banned by me, so there is no need to do this." ”

A sentence of "Brother Guan", Hong Renkong hinted that he had forgotten the identity of Guan Fu's defeated general, and even called him the eldest brother affectionately, and affirmed the other party, coupled with the word "dignity", Guan Fu's heart was warm, and he was not verbose, and said directly: "Commander, I want to join the Taiping Army." ”

With a sonorous voice and a categorical tone, Hong Renkong laughed and said: "Brother Guan, I have been waiting for your words for a long time, if you join, it will be the luck of my Taiping Army and the luck of the people of the world, I want to thank you for the people!" ”

"Hey! Where did the commander say this? I'm scared! ”

"No, Brother Guan, it should be, I have already selected a position for you, Brother Guan, just waiting for you to take office, fight for the people of the world, and go down in history, I just don't know if Brother Guan is willing?"

"How unwilling." Guan Fu arched his hand, and immediately accepted the letter of appointment handed by Hong Renkong, only to see that it was written, "Under the command of the First Army of the Taiping Army, under the name of the First Division, and the commander of the Independent Regiment of the Second Brigade." ”

"General Guan, the position of the regiment commander, I think you also know what it is, originally, the regiment commander of this district is condescending to you, but after this trip, you have made great achievements, not to mention the regiment commander, even the division commander, I will also give you a promotion!" Hong Renkong said with a smile.

The regiment commander is still a reinforced regiment, and there are thousands of subordinates, compared to Guan Fu's general soldiers in the Qing court, it is also too much, how can Guan Fu dislike it, "The commander laughed, I was originally a general of the defeated army, thanks to the commander's love and trust, entrusted with heavy responsibilities, I must do my best." ”

"I just don't know what tasks the commander has to delegate to you?"

"Big task." Seeing that Shi Dakai and Guan Fu were both looking at him with puzzled expressions, Hong Renkong said slowly: "Prevent the signing of the Treaty of Nanjing and intensify the contradictions between Britain and the Qing Dynasty. ”
