Xu Qing knew that most of the British had guessed that Xu Qing might have played a role behind it, but as for the evidence, this was actually not needed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After all, political things don't necessarily need hard evidence, and the British just have to think so. However, the British have no good way to take Xu Qing, after all, there is no direct evidence, and they can't do anything about Xu Qing. In particular, Xu Qing could not be criminally punished, after all, the diplomatic immunity of diplomats is the greatest talisman.

"However, at this time I think we can still go to the British, so that I can make some money!" Xu Qing said.

Xu Qing came to 10 Downing Street in the British and found Prime Minister John Russell.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I heard that recently the Russians are going to war, attacking Turkey. And I think it is impossible for Britain to sit idly by and ignore this war for its own interests, so I think I can support Britain. We in China have many, many resources, and I think we can support Britain as a need for the war. Xu Qing said.

John Russell looked at Xu Qing and said lightly: "Minister Xu Qing, our British Empire does not need your support from China at present. Our British Empire has colonies all over the world, and we don't need your support from China for the time being. ”

Of course, John Russell knew what role Xu Qing played in this war, but they didn't know exactly what it was. However, this time Xu Qing actually came to "sell things", which made the British very unhappy. However, the British did not need to buy it, because Britain was still very rich in resources and could naturally support this war.

But how could Xu Qing not sell something to the British, this time Xu Qing made it clear that he came to buy and sell by force. This time, Xu Qing planned to buy and sell some things to the British, and then make huge profits from them. Isn't the reason why Xu Qing eats both in China and the UK to make money and accumulate resources? It is also very important to include network resources and, of course, economic resources.

And buying and selling, that is also a way to get the most resources.

"Mr. John Russell, although Britain does not need the support of our China. However, there is a country that directly borders China on a large area, and they are not very rich in resources, and I think they will very much want to get the support of our Chinese resources. So, who do you say this country is? Xu Qing asked.

"Smack!" John Russell slapped the table fiercely, looking at Xu Qing like an eagle, John Russell's hands trembled a little, which is enough to show how angry John Russell was in his heart.

Xu Qing's words are clearly implying that John Russell is that if you Britain don't buy my things, then I will also use these things to support Russia. At that time, you will have to bear more pressure from Russia, after all, China and Russia are directly bordered, and if China sells supplies to Russia, then Britain will be under much more pressure.

"Aren't you afraid of the wrath of our England?" John Russell asked.

Xu Qing nodded and replied: "Don't be afraid, of course, it is still a question who you Britain will deal with first." I don't think it is possible for you, Britain, to open two fronts at the same time to fight on two fronts, especially since these two countries are both populous countries, do you think you can support a war against two populous countries at the same time? ”

John Russell calmed down at this time, because China and Russia are both populous countries, and if China and Russia go to war at the same time, it will drag Britain into the abyss of destruction! Although John Russell knew that Britain was strong, he would not be arrogant enough to dare to start a war against Russia and China at the same time, so that Britain could not bear it. Especially since these two countries are extremely large in terms of territory and population, and once they fight on their own soil, it is enough to drag the British to death.

They were able to defeat China a few years ago, but that doesn't mean they think they would be so lucky a few years later. One fluke in a war is already God's blessing, and no wise person would think that God can bless a second time.

"What do you want?" John Russell asked.

Xu Qing quickly replied: "10 million pounds, you must buy 10 million pounds of our supplies in China." Otherwise, we would have to sell these 10 million supplies to one of our neighbors. Anyway, we have to sell this 10 million material. ”

Of course, John Russell understood that Xu Qing was blackmailing, and it was clear that he was deliberately blackmailing the British, but John Russell had to worry about the consequences. This Xu Qing made it clear that he was taking advantage of the fire to rob and force him to buy and sell, but the British really had to bear it. After all, if the British don't buy this batch of materials, once this batch of materials is sold to Russia, Russia's strength will be greatly increased.

Although Britain was not short of supplies, it did not mean that the enemy could be allowed to obtain them. War is like that, weaken the enemy, strengthen yourself, and do both.

John Russell weighed the pros and cons, and this time it was clear that Xu Qing was so shameless that he took advantage of the fact that Britain was preparing to start a war with Russia, and this lack of morality made John Russell very annoyed. But Xu Qing grasped the timing very well, which made John Russell very worried. This batch of supplies cannot be given to Russia, and once it is given to Russia, the consequences will be unimaginable, it will increase British casualties for no reason, and may even bring variables to this war.

"Okay, we'll buy it from the British Empire, don't worry. Ten million pounds, we in the British Empire can still afford it! John Russell said.

But Xu Qing changed his game again, saying: "Prime Minister John Russell, I think for the sake of the British finances, we can provide loans. We at Anglo-Chinese Bank can provide a financial loan and then use the 10 million pounds to buy these supplies. What do you think about these financial loans, which can be given to the British at an interest rate of 15 percent per annum? ”

John Russell finally couldn't help it and said, "Minister Xu Qing, can you be more shameless?" ”

John Russell, as an old financial country in the United Kingdom, heard what Xu Qing meant. Xu Qing's meaning is to maximize the benefits, not only to buy and sell materials to the British, but even to force the British to take a loan from him Xu Qing, not to do it. The loan has to pay interest, and the annual interest is 15%! This high interest rate is clearly usury.

In this way, Xu Qing can not only get a lot of income from the difference in the price of materials, but can even get a lot of interest from this loan, and then Xu Qing and even the China behind Xu Qing will be full of food! This time, Xu Qing took advantage of Britain's preparation to fight the Crimean War with Russia, and it was clear that he deliberately wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Britain and slaughter Britain's fat John Bull!

Xu Qing knew that John Russell could hear that he was making money in many ways, and this time he was not only making money from a loan from Russia, but also from the United Kingdom. Xu Qing's festival has already been fed to the dogs, so he takes advantage of other countries to fight, and he supports both behind his back and sells resources at both ends. Even if the other party doesn't buy it, you have to force the other party to buy it!

This is clearly shameless, really shameless. But in order to make money, of course Xu Qing didn't even want to do it.

"Prime Minister John Russell, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand, but I'm kind enough to give a loan to the UK, so why are you angry? Xu Qing pretended to be stupid and asked.

John Russell asked the sky speechlessly, I have seen something that can be pretended, but I have never seen such a pretend. Of course, John Russell knew that the other party must have understood what he said, and as a diplomat, if he didn't even understand this, then he really didn't need to be serious. But Xu Qing pretended to be confused in front of him, like a pure little white rabbit that was harmless to humans and animals, and this black belly and pretending to be stupid made John Russell almost faint.

"Shameless, why did China send such a shameless guy? I know it in my heart, but I'm still pretending to be stupid in front of us! I really want to slap it in the face, you can't be shameless to this point, right? John Russell scolded inwardly.

However, Xu Qing looked "simple", as if he was really coming to help the British. Although John Russell was very annoyed in his heart, Xu Qing made it clear that this was the case. If you don't buy it, then I'll sell it to Russia. You have to buy our supplies, and if you don't buy our supplies, then we will sell them to your enemies. I'm blackmailing, what can you do?

"Hahahaha, although it is impossible for us in China to directly intervene in the Crimean War between you and the Russians. However, we in China are 'not enough to succeed and more to lose', and we want to directly participate in the war and affect the situation of the war, but we cannot do that. But we spoil the good of one of the parties, and that's more than enough. Therefore, you must give us enough benefits to China, otherwise we will spoil your good deeds! Xu Qing thought.

In fact, to engage in diplomacy, it is not necessary to be able to "get things done", in fact, sometimes "not enough to achieve things and more to lose" is enough. If you want to make it happen, then I'll make a mess for you! Although China is not the world's top power, it is not something that anyone can ignore. We cannot be directly involved in your affairs, although we cannot directly affect your conflicts. But we have our own way, and although we can't directly influence it, we can do your good deeds.

Xu Qing's meaning is obvious, anyway, although it is impossible for China to directly affect the war, it is enough to spoil your good deeds! If any of you don't give me any benefit, then I'll support the other side, and the pressure on you will suddenly increase a lot. This kind of reverse thinking of "not enough to achieve and more to lose" is actually a very important way to interfere in international affairs.

"Okay, our British Empire borrowed from the Anglo-Chinese Bank for 10 million pounds." John Russell said.

Xu Qing quickly said: "Very good, regarding this procurement, our company under Yinghua Bank will help you take care of it." When the time comes, we will help you contact us China, you can rest assured. Whoever makes us hospitable in China, we will certainly help you British people to get things done! ”

"Smack!" John Russell finally couldn't help it and scolded: "Shameless, shameless, shameless Chinese!" ”

Xu Qing retired, and then left 10 Downing Street, breathing a breath of smog air with the foggy capital of London, but Xu Qing felt extremely "fresh".

"Hahahaha, British, British, you also have today! How did you blackmail and exploit China through financial means? Now you have today! After the First Sino-Japanese War and the Eight-Nation Alliance, you not only asked us to pay reparations, but also asked us in China to take out loans with the banks of your countries, and not only did the loan amount only reach 86 percent, but the interest was also an astonishing figure. On the one hand, we are asked to pay compensation, and on the other hand, we are asked to take out loans, so that the benefits are amazingly huge. ”

"You supported the Japanese in launching the Sino-Japanese War, bought a large number of Japanese war bonds, and then the reparations that Japan received from China went into your pockets. Very good, very good! Today, you also have today, I will use your war with Russia to slaughter you fiercely, so that you know the pain! Hahahaha......"

Xu Qing couldn't help laughing in his heart, this time he finally took revenge on the British once and extorted 10 million pounds! Of course, you may actually earn less, but you can buy and sell and get a lot of profits. This time, Xu Qing was late in millions of pounds in profits, and there was no problem at all.

"The Manchu Qing Dynasty has a lot of pens to eat, and I won't give you a penny!" Xu Qing thought to himself.

Xu Qing succeeded in extorting enough wealth, and of course this wealth will be of great use to him in the future. In short, if you want to govern the country, isn't the most important thing about money? If you don't have money, how can you govern the country? Aren't many countries just collapsing financially? During the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the central court did not have enough wealth to raise troops, it had to delegate military power, resulting in the Three Kingdoms in the troubled era of the late Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, because of the lack of wealth, he had to delegate financial power, which also allowed the Tang Dynasty to perish. The Ming Dynasty was ruined by finances, and the Qing Dynasty was also triggered by the collapse of finances in its original history.

Therefore, the most important thing in governing the country is financial resources, and Xu Qing is currently accumulating financial resources to prepare for the future.

This time he extorted 10 million pounds from the UK, and he Xu Qing will become the final big winner of the war between Britain and Russia. Extorting a lot of wealth from it, and selling things behind their backs to make war money when others are fighting wars, it's really cool!

"Let you Europe fight, we will make war money behind our backs. Anyway, this kind of war money will not be in vain, and only after making a fortune can we get more resources of all kinds to support the anti-Qing forces in the country, so that the Manchus will be on fire everywhere. Xu Qing thought.
