Chapter 348: Piri Yangqiu
When he came to Shanghai, Luo Yang was warmly welcomed by Feng Zhuhuo, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, hundreds of thousands of people, and welcomed him in the middle of the road, making the scene almost out of control.
"Welcome to the Archon of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom."
"Long live King Rui, long live."
Under the rhythmic control of the officers and soldiers, the mountains roared and the tsunami shook the hot field, the sun was blazing, and it was even hotter.
"King Rui." Feng Zhuhuo led the senior generals of the Shanghai Garrison Army, all of whom came to know the news of the Nanjing victory, and they were not too surprised, in their eyes, all this was inevitable.
Many people sincerely welcomed, and more people who had participated in the Taiping Army, Liu Lichuan's knife club, were even more emotional, they already knew that it was this army that restored Nanjing, defeated the Hunan army, stabilized Jiangnan, and completely brought the situation back.
Returned to the headquarters, Luo Yang simply recuperated, placed the troops, and immediately asked about the situation in Shanghai, especially the situation of the British and French troops, Feng Zhuhuo reported the work, more than 2,000 British and French troops have landed on the Bund in Shanghai, however, under Feng Zhuhuo's strong protest and warning, they did not dare to go deep rashly, let alone easily compete with Huaxia Tian**, because, someone told them the truth, who this person is, Huaxia Army does not know, anyway, the red-haired devil is very polite, and repeatedly asked to send someone to negotiate, In order to negotiate the issue, Feng Zhuhuo first sent someone to contact him, and repeatedly delayed.
"You did a good job, Commander Feng Zhuhuo, we can't tear our faces with these countries for the time being." Luo Yang smiled: "It's not that I don't dare, but I think it's more advantageous not to tear it." ”
Luo Yang inquired about the whole situation, and learned that the situation in the entire Shanghai area, including dozens of surrounding prefectures and counties, was very good, the people actively supported it, and the local law and order was also quite quiet, and the Huaxia Army adopted a policy of severe crackdown and suppression, arrested and executed hundreds of local ruffians and hooligans, suppressed unhealthy tendencies, and achieved sufficient results in the training and rectification of armaments; within a month, 30,000 troops had been replenished and seriously trained, and the arsenal of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau had also developed a large number of flying thunder cannons, grenades, foreign guns, and equipment for the troops, there is a preliminary guarantee,
"Thank you for your achievements in Shanghai, this king is very satisfied, now, we are going to meet those Western politicians, no, they are the overseas version of Western politicians."
In the headquarters of the garrison in Shanghai, in a small ridged brick house, Luo Yang led several officials to personally meet with the representatives of the British and French troops, one was Lieutenant Colonel Davy, the other was Colonel Simon, and several entourages, in addition, there were some special people,
"Please." For the basic etiquette, Luo Yang still talks about it, what we fight for is qi, and it is also reason and etiquette.
"Thank you." All the coalition officers were carefully examining this small room, and the coalition officers wearing snow-white gloves looked very imposing,
After Luo Yang invited everyone to sit down, he said with a smile: "I'm sorry, this place is indeed cramped and dark, and it is a bit disproportionate for such an important meeting of ours, but the truth is that it is only exquisite." ”
"It's okay, but hopefully when we meet again, we can be on our warship, where the environment is very good." Lieutenant Colonel David said arrogantly,
"Well, I hope it can be held at Buckingham Palace again, hahaha." Since the crossing, Luo Yang has made up a lot of knowledge, so, it is easy to say,
David rolled his eyes, speechless,
Soon into the topic, Luo Yang asked: "First of all, this king protests to the kings and emperors of England and France, because, without any guarantees, their army suddenly broke into the waters and continents of the Huaxia Kingdom, which is a naked act of aggression, and it is also a contempt for our Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom. ”
In the face of Luo Yang's preemptive voice, the two coalition representatives did not care, "Sir, in the waters of the Yangtze River, within the legal permission of the Qing Empire, our country has the right to exercise any ships, including warships, as for the army, Shanghai is a treaty port, and we are also qualified to come here to protect the expatriate, which is permitted by law." ”
"Yes, the law permits, and this king is also aware of this situation." Luo Yang said with a smile, but he was cursing in his heart, Nima, the bastard of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, betrayed the country to seek glory,
"Since it is within the scope of the law, and you know it, why do you still raise questions." Colonel Simon cleverly grabbed the dew hole,
Feng Zhuhuo looked at Luo Yang worriedly, lest he couldn't answer,
On Luo Yang's side, there are Feng Zhuhuo, Dong Fuxiang, Huang Wenjin, and Chen Kunshu, all of whom are military generals, and they are also very worried in the face of such a situation.
Luo Yang smiled slightly: "Shouldn't this king be suspicious." ”
"Why?" The two representatives of the coalition who were stiff in Chinese felt incredible, because the logic was wrong, so they showed a triumphant smile: "We really don't understand." ”
Faced with possible embarrassment, Luo Yang said: "Since the Manchu Imperial Government allows you, you should negotiate with the Manchu Government, how to negotiate with us." ”
"Hmm."
"Have we allowed you?"
The representative of the coalition forces was dumbfounded, but Colonel Simon was still quite shrewd: "Okay, put this issue aside, the issue we are negotiating today can just solve it, if it can go well." ”
The representatives of the coalition forces put forward a number of terms, demanding that all of them be agreed to in Huaxiatian,
"First, in the area south of the Yangtze River, in full accordance with the content of the treaty promised by the Manchu Qing government, the great powers were given sufficient military, political, and military rights, and no damage should be violated, second, in order to protect the overseas Chinese in the Shanghai area, the coalition forces could be stationed inside and outside Shanghai, and third, Huaxia Tian** must be responsible for the loss of life and property of the British and French expatriates in the Shanghai area due to the current war." The representative of the United Kingdom, Lieutenant Colonel David, was in charge of the speech, and he proposed specific provisions under the three principles, and the content of the memorandum alone was densely written in a large book.
"If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can meet our demands, then we can promise to live in peace with you, otherwise, we will fight to the end to defend our interests."
Luo Yang waited for the representative of the coalition to put forward the conditions, and then nodded: "Go on, there is still something that needs to be added, all of them are finished, and then, we will discuss it again." ”
Luo Yang has gradually matured politically, before facing the representatives of the coalition forces, he had a tough attitude and choked the devils a lot, but now, he suddenly opened his mind and decided to deal with these guys, anyway, it is not a good thing to break with his face directly, only fooling,
