Chapter 422: Diplomatic Victory
Luo Yang is not ready to destroy the US federal government, although he now has this strength, an expeditionary corps is only three or four thousand people, and he can be so powerful with some Indians and blacks, which makes him fully believe that in modern history, a country only develops economy or science and technology, does not develop military strength, does not improve military science and technology, it is simply an idiot.
If the United States is eliminated and the United States is unified, the result is not good, and it is best to let the two United States fight every day, considering the strategic measures of the United States against China in modern society, Luo Yang is unwilling to support the south to victory.
He is also worried that once the south is really united to destroy the north, it will cause international interference, originally, the Western Europa countries are a group of beasts, eyeing the opportunity, in case they arouse their jealousy, dozens of countries will unite to come to a crusade expedition in the Far East, for Luoyang, it is definitely not fun, when the strength is not fully grown, or play slowly,
The newly unified country has not been completely integrated with the Manchu forces and various warlord political factions, and we must be cautious, otherwise, once something happens, these guys will first make a coax inside,
Luo Yang appealed to all countries and asked them to participate in mediating the contradictions between China and the United States, so many countries participated, the most active of which were Britain and France, because, Luo Yang sent people to hint to them, besides, Britain is the well-deserved boss in the world, the sun never sets on the empire, France Napoleon III has been in power for more than ten years, reckless soldiers, cowhide forks, self-proclaimed army world first, very want to point fingers, intervene in the world, Luo Yang is low-key, to meet the megalomania of these two beasts,
In the spring of 1866, in Tianjin, China, negotiations between China and the United States were going on enthusiastically, and the North American Federation first asked the American Expeditionary Corps of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom to stop the attack and make a friendly gesture to the negotiations between the two countries, and Luo Yang complied.
In fact, with the expanded strength of Li Shixian's expeditionary corps and the power of hundreds of cannons, it is indeed not easy to kill the federal government, but this threat is extremely huge.
The representative of the southern United States protested and sent personnel to reproach, and Zhang Zhidong came forward to explain, which means that the domestic financial difficulties of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, the inability to persist in a long-term war, and the blockade of the American fleet for several months have caused the economic malformation of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom and almost collapsed.
This is a pretext, so false that I don't believe it, but I must have a clear eye when it comes to it.
In the end, the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom enlisted the participation of the South as much as possible, forming a tripartite negotiation pattern between the two countries.
Outside Tianjin, the American minister came, this new official, but an old China expert, he had six years ago, as the entourage of the American minister, participated in the second phase of the Anglo-French alliance invasion of the Qing war, at that time, the Western coalition army was only more than 10,000 people, the great empire collapsed, the most elite troops were annihilated, the emperor fled, signed the "Beijing Treaty",
Thomas, U.S. Federal Minister, cried,
The Chinese country is still there, pity the West,
With tears in his eyes, Minister Thomas walked unsteadily into the meeting room, here, the British minister, the French minister, have already arrived, and the consul and foreign minister of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom have arrived,
The two countries and three parties, plus dozens of mediators, is a very solemn and solemn occasion.
After more than ten days of negotiations, the three parties finally signed the "Sino-American Tripartite Armistice Agreement", which officially determined that Huaxia Tian** withdrew from the civil war in the United States and would no longer interfere.
This agreement was formed by the convergence of a number of independent treaties, the core of which was the relationship agreement between the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom and the U.S. federal government.
The Chinese government said that it would lift its state of war against the United States, and the US federal government also said that it would also stop fighting against China.
The United States federal government recognized the independence of the southern states for reason and recognized it, and the government of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom expressed its appreciation for the pragmatic attitude of the United States federal government, believing that in this respect, it was indeed carrying out the belief in democratic freedoms such as natural human rights.
The federal government of the United States, affirming the existence and rights of overseas Chinese in North America, guarantees adequate treatment, assists Chinese if they are willing to return to their home countries, and grants them full civil rights and status without racial discrimination if they are willing to become Americans.
In areas where there is a strong concentration of overseas Chinese, communities with the broad participation of overseas Chinese, or autonomous institutions and regional administrative organs should be established.
The Government of the United States acknowledges that the officers and men of the United States Navy fleet who have intruded on the coastal areas of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom during the war and are guilty of violently massacring civilians should be interrogated and, as compensation, that all captured warships and materiel of the United States Fleet shall be owned and used by the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom Government free of charge, and that the United States Federal Government shall no longer demand them.
China and the United States signed a new treaty, and the tariffs were treated equally, and Huaxia Tianguo had the right to increase the tariff rate according to its own needs, and the specific tax rate standard was confirmed by Huaxia Tianguo itself.
In order to help the expedition to the Americas to quickly leave the Americas and return to the Asian continent, the U.S. federal government will provide material and moral assistance, specifically to provide sufficient merchant shipping, and provide about $5 million for the cost of the trip.
In order to further compensate the people of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom for the injuries suffered, the U.S. government provided an additional $5 million.
After accepting these payments, the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom terminated the compensation lawsuit against the United States.
In particular, the two countries mentioned that the United States must not transport to China any items that harm the physical and mental health of the people of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, otherwise, "the goods will not be collected, and the people will be the Fa-rectification." ”
Based on the principle of mutual respect, the United States of America firmly respects the judicial sovereignty and independence of the United States of America, and therefore does not require consular jurisdiction.
Huaxia Tianguo said that for the U.S. federal government, in the spirit of goodwill and friendly attitude, therefore, when the future country opens up, it will fully consider its due interests and contributions.
The terms of this agreement were many, the disputes were long, the mutual kingdoms made many concessions, and forced the U.S. federal government to recognize several vital principles.
In this way, all the privileges that the United States has acquired in China, including the right of consular jurisdiction, the one-sided most-favored-nation treatment, the right to sell opium and other drugs, and the privilege of tariffs worth 50 percent, have all been abolished, and China will have to pay compensation of $10 million and give away the two fleets.
Note that at that time, the purchasing power of the dollar was very high, for example, Alaska, the North American territory of Russia, the United States spent more than 7 million dollars,
In addition, the U.S. federal government also recognized the independence of the League of Southern American States, so that the United States was finally divided.
