After China entered the war, it only participated in the war at home, arresting and imprisoning all the peaceful and defenseless French nationals, the naval fleet was still resting in the military port, the shipyard that had been abbreviated was repairing the ships damaged in the battle of the Yangtze River Estuary, starting to build new ships, the military science and technology department was also developing new weapons, breaking through the technological barrier with each passing day, all kinds of regrets and equipment updates were quietly brewing in the secret of the great changes in human history, China has taken the lead in entering the study of the second industrial revolution, In the development of the internal combustion engine and related inventions, in the exploitation and utilization of oil, the extensive development and application of electricity, the research and development of communication technology, etc., has raised enough capital, including theory, personnel, themselves, equipment, ongoing, in this thousand things, China's scientific and technological team is also growing, but unfortunately not science education, but practice, the source of all this, is Luo Yang's personal guidance, indicating the direction, let's go, for this reason also to Germany requirements, send dozens of professional scientific personnel, to assist the Chinese government, as for some technicians, so many have just been arrested from the French in China, some are teachers, and some are directly serving scientific research, which is quite convenient.

The Chinese government took advantage of the fire to loot and extort a sum of money very despicably, and basically did not pay a single price, the French army is fighting at home, and the overseas troops are shrinking to the mainland, as for the naval fleet, they have long been afraid of the Chinese navy like a tiger, where can they dare to come up easily,

In October of this year, in the worries and warnings of many officials, Luo Yang naturally waited for the results of the Franco-Prussian War, the French defeat in the Battle of Sedan, the emperor surrendered, and 100,000 French troops became prisoners of war.

The Luoyang government sent a congratulatory message to the King and Prime Minister of Prussia, and the King and Prime Minister of Prussia also responded enthusiastically, saying that China's participation in the war was a great expression of solidarity with the Prussian state, and so on.

In January of the following year, the King of Prussia proclaimed himself Emperor of Germany at the Palace of Versailles, France, and in March, the Paris Commune revolt broke out in the French capital.

During this period, the Chinese government extended an invitation to the French government for peace, and the French government of Thiers sent representatives to meet with the original minister to China, and after three months of arduous negotiations, a treaty with China was finally signed.

The so-called hardships of France, on the Chinese side, are relaxed and proud, Luo Yang did not participate, sent Zhang Zhidong, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others to participate, and he guided the planning behind the scenes, and finally, completed the negotiations with France.

This treaty, also known as the Sino-French New Treaty or the Treaty of Shanghai, is based on the meaning that the place of its negotiations is Shanghai.

Needless to say, the content of the treaty is to be abolished, anyway, the ban on all the unequal privileges that France had in China before, the "Whampoa Treaty", the "Tianjin Treaty", the "Beijing Treaty", etc., are all nullified, and it is also announced that all the legal person property and investment in China obtained by China in the war will be used as compensation for the previous French aggression against China, and then it will be a peace treaty, declaring that the two countries are at peace and will no longer fight, but China has bitten a big bite of France's meat, and France has not wanted to go back at all.

This treaty is a confirmation of the status quo, and the French government no longer has the bandit momentum of a great power in the face of a heavy blow.

Of course, looking at the tightly knit brows and humiliating tears of the French delegation, the Chinese know that the war with France will definitely start, maybe soon,

Chinese are not afraid, the rivers and mountains are still the same, personnel have long been wrong, the current Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, how can it be that weak and incompetent idiot Qing Dynasty, that is, an obese pig, waiting for the herd of beasts to eat and bite, now, China is a fierce beast, all day is calculating to devour others, in the jungle era, this is an inevitable choice,

In the process of negotiations, the French said that they were absolutely unwilling to send so many materials and personnel in China to the government of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom to eat.

However, the Chinese negotiators were not satisfied: "France's participation in the invasion of our country has caused heavy losses of materials and personnel in our country, such as the fall of Beijing, the French team robbed the Old Summer Palace, and burned it, you must know how big this crime is, we Chinese people no longer hold you responsible, and are willing to coexist peacefully with you, what a great favor." ”

"Sir, our army entered China for a reason, not an unprovoked invasion." The representative of France retorted,

"What's the reason for you, you're still a broken preacher, shameless." At the negotiation meeting, the Chinese representative was arrogant, pointing at other people's noses and reprimanding, almost rewarding other people's scolding, people's noses are so high, you point and point, you really don't give people face.

The French had to silence the nature of the war, and the French said that it was a war between France and the former Qing Dynasty, and that France had always respected the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, and that opposing the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a kind of cooperation with the forces of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom at that time, "We are friends." ”

The representative of France was very imaginative and good at changing positions,

"." The Chinese delegates were angry, because many of the current delegates were officials of the former Qing Dynasty, and the French's divisive strategy was not to expose your old faces and reverse scales, so they were criticized again.

The French delegates are still working hard to confiscate the value of French materials and factories and mines, hoping to win back the rights and interests of a star and a half, but unfortunately, the Chinese delegates are crushed to death, and there is no room for negotiation at all.

"Your country's deputies, please think about it, our factories, mines, enterprises, and materials in China, worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver, do we have to compensate your country so much?"

"It's not that we have so much compensation, but that we want so much compensation, and we are not greedy." The representative of China said with a grin,

"Otherwise, we will compensate the Chinese government for military spending." The French delegates, wishing to clarify the amount of indemnity and take the opportunity to convert most of those assets back, proposed that, according to the standards of the Treaty of Tientsin and the Treaty of Peking, France would not pay more than 10 million taels in compensation to China in accordance with international practice and in accordance with the maximum proportion.

The "Treaty of Tientsin" provided for the compensation of France and Britain for 2 million taels each, and in the "Treaty of Peking", it was increased to 4 million taels each, and the French representative preferred to pay 10 million taels for the compensation of the Chinese **.

"No, it's too little, our China's losses are too great." Zhang Zhidong adhered to Luo Yang's meaning without hesitation,

"However, you didn't fight with my ** team, where are the losses." The representative of France sighed in a low voice,

"We've gathered our troops, we've prepared your naval fleet for an attack, we've mobilized a million land forces, and these costs are at least tens of millions of silver, oh, and we've also mobilized ten million militia reserves, you see, it's ......"

It's clear that the Chinese government is blackmailing, and the French can only cry their noses.

The Chinese representative was still unwilling, saying that the Old Summer Palace was a miracle on earth, worth 30 billion taels of silver, and France and Britain destroyed it together, and half of the countries had to compensate 15 billion taels of silver.
