In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Triple Alliance in Europe was ready to go, Japan had already received a large number of arms from the British, and the 30,000 Japanese troops were pulled into the battlefield before they had time to train.

Salute first, then soldiers, this strategy still needs to be used!

Japan is now equipped with 30,000 troops, and the courage in its heart has also grown, why did the Qing army bully itself at its own doorstep? Isn't it just because their weapons are advanced? Now that we also have foreign guns and cannons, why are we still afraid of you Chinese?

At the same time as Japan equipped its army, it sent its own envoys to China to ask for explanations, and of course, there were also ministers from Britain, France, and Spain, and the four countries fought together in an attempt to pressure China to submit.

On the tenth day when Guo Ye led the Lu army to leave Beijing City, Guo Ye had already entered Shanxi at this time, advancing from the north of Shanxi to the north of Shaanxi, leaving Beijing City for hundreds of miles.

Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen.

Today, Yixin ushered in four uninvited guests, Japanese envoy Ichiro Miyamoto; Marton, Minister of the British Empire; Gro, Minister of the French Empire; Spanish Minister Garcia.

When Yixin heard that the ministers of the four countries came to visit at the same time, his heart chuckled and realized that the situation was not good! Britain, France, Spain, and Japan, this is completely a party to the Japanese rebellion, all of them are here, and at the same time ask to see themselves, then there is absolutely no good thing!

But people have already arrived at the doorstep, and if you want to avoid it, it is absolutely impossible!

Now Yixin secretly regrets it in his heart, what a deal, he actually forgot about this stubble, he knew this, he said that he would not let Guo Ye go, without Guo Ye sitting in charge of foreign affairs, not to mention dealing with the four countries at the same time, even if it is one of the countries, Yixin has no confidence in his heart, especially Westerners, it is too difficult to provoke!

However, it has come to this point, and it is useless to regret it, now I can only take one step at a time!

"Invite a few ministers in......"

Yixin said helplessly.

It didn't take long for the ministers of the four countries to rush in.

The envoys of Britain, France, and Spain, Yixin all knew him, but he didn't know the Japanese envoy Miyamoto Ichiro, who had just been sent to China by Emperor Mingxiao.

"Mr. Minister, I don't know why you came to the Prime Minister's Yamen this time?"

Yixin asked.

Ichiro Miyamoto took a step forward and said in a raised voice: "Your Royal Highness, I, the special envoy of Emperor Mingxiao of Japan, Ichiro Miyamoto, have been entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor to present my credentials to your country, and formally protest against your country's wanton interference in the internal affairs of the Japanese Empire in Kyoto a month ago, and to declare war without declaring war. We, the Empire of Japan, have officially filed a claim with your country! ”

Yi Xin frowned, and said unhappily: "Mr. Miyamoto, for your country's claim, this king is difficult to accept, I want my Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty to go to the United States, just to add fuel to your country's dock, I was attacked by your country for no reason, and the entourage suffered countless casualties, we are just fighting back in self-defense, if you don't take the lead in attacking, we will definitely not declare war!" Moreover, it is you Japan who are not declaring war! Now you guys think about the Chinese claims? Before, when I was the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty in Japan, why didn't you claim compensation directly? ”

Yixin is also a person who has seen the world, and he is the emperor of heaven, so naturally he will not be frightened by a small Japanese envoy, in that case, the prince of a country will be too useless!

"You!"

Miyamoto Ichiro's face froze, and he shouted angrily.

The British minister on the side, Marton, waved his hand, with Miyamoto Ichiro stepping aside, Miyamoto Ichiro took a step back unwillingly and glared angrily.

"Your Royal Highness! As one of the parties concerned, on behalf of the British Empire, I would like to express the attitude of Her Majesty the Queen, your country is indeed too arrogant and domineering in this matter, even if the shells of the Japanese army fell on the dock, it was just a mistake to bomb it, at that time the Japanese Imperial Family and the shogunate armed forces were at war, your ships arrived in Japan quietly, did you notify, bombed by mistake, that is expected, not to mention, people Japan is firing artillery on their own territory, that is the right of the Japanese, do you have the right to interfere? Could it be that if you Qing army fired two cannons in the Forbidden City, we, the ministers, could accuse you of threatening the interests of the British Empire or the French Empire? ”

Malton spoke eloquently, his words sharp, and approached Yixin step by step.

Yixin's face was gloomy, and he was about to refute, when the Spanish minister on the other side, Barber Garcia, also said sharply: "Your Royal Highness, our Spanish military advisers are just hired by Japan to conduct military training in Japan, and if you don't think about it, you will die tragically under the knife of your country's soldiers, why do you kill the people of our Spanish Kingdom?" The Chinese government must compensate us for our losses, apologize to Spain, and at the same time compensate Japan for its losses! ”

"You guys!"

Yixin's face was pale, these four countries are obviously tied together, advancing and retreating together, this time things are difficult!

"Your Royal Highness, it's nonsense to say anything else! This is a diplomatic note from our four countries! Our claims are all in there! ”

French Minister Gro snorted coldly and threw his diplomatic note on the table, and the other three people also took out their diplomatic note and threw it on the table, looking at Yixin coldly.

Yixin picked up the diplomatic note from British Minister Malton, only to see that it was written in Chinese and English, demanding that the Qing government compensate Britain, France, Spain, and Japan for the losses of 33 million taels, and at the same time, in order to apologize to the four countries, China must open all ports in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and must give Britain, France, and Spain one-sided most-favored-nation treatment! The Chinese general He Tengjiao must be handed over to Britain, France and Spain to dispose of!

Thirty-three million taels of silver!

Yixin was so angry that she almost vomited blood, these bastards really dared to speak! That's 33 million taels of silver, and the imperial court can't eat or drink for a year, so it can only earn 33 million taels of silver! Now the treasury is even poorer to run away, where is there so much silver to compensate?

What's more, like the four countries, they should open all the ports of the Yangtze River and give the three countries one-sided most-favored-nation treatment? It's a dream! Daydream your daydreams and go!

"You're dreaming! I, the Qing Empire, will never accept such a clause! ”

Yixin said coldly.

"Not receiving?"

Malton sneered: "Your Royal Highness, unless you want to start another war!" However, we don't care, if we don't agree to the above conditions, then there is only one way out! Five days, I can give you five days, and if your country does not give us a positive answer within five days, Britain, France, Spain, and Japan will officially declare war on your country! ”
