Chapter 51: A traitor
Burbulon and the others were arrogant and arrogant in front of other ministers of the Qing government, and they played all the scoundrels, although those bigwigs were all stubborn, but in front of them, there was absolutely no arrogance.
Where is it like Guo Ye, who directly snatched the French minister's pistol, and in an instant, it was dismantled into a pile of parts!
Burbulon was dumbfounded, originally thought that the Chinese were all a group of native old hats, and the group of native old hats in India had the same virtue, and did not understand anything, but what he did not expect was that he met an expert! This pistol of his own is definitely the best of the best, and he can dismantle the musket so quickly, even a technician in the factory can do it, let alone himself!
Guo Ye said with a smile: "Minister Burbulon, I'm sorry, it's just an itch in the next moment, so I'll put ...... on you."
Guo Ye then neatly assembled the musket back into place, flicked a gun flower beautifully, raised his hand to shoot, outside the yamen, the string of the French flag on the flagpole broke in response, and the French flag fluttered and landed from the air!
Burbulon was shocked and angry, shocked that there was still such a number one person in ancient Oriental China, and he was angry that this damn guy actually knocked down the flag of his country with one shot, which is bearable, which is unbearable!
Bourblon shouted: "Presumptuous! The flag represents the dignity of our French Empire, who are you? Dare to so brazenly disrupt the atmosphere of the trilateral talks? Aren't you afraid that your emperor will blame him? I want to protest to the Qing government! Protest! ”
Guo Ye smiled: "Who am I?" The Battle of Dagukou, have you heard of it? The flagship of your Anglo-French forces, I did it! That commander of yours, Heb, was also killed by my bombardment, I, the second-grade deputy general of the Daqing Firearms Battalion, Guo Ye! This name will be remembered for a lifetime! Mr. Bourblon! ”
I drop God!
It was this person who beat the British and French fleets to the ground at the mouth of Dagu, and even the commander-in-chief Heb died at his hands, and when I looked at it today, it was really extraordinary, even the shot just now has already shown the extraordinaryness of this person, if Guo Ye said that he was blinded, the two ministers who killed him would not believe it!
Bruce swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, suppressed the shock in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Guo Ye? I haven't heard of it, and I haven't heard of you as the number one person in the Qing government! No matter how good you are, what can you do? Can you alone stop our iron cannons? Can you alone resist our Dragoon cavalry regiment? Once the war starts, the jade will be burned, and we will turn Beijing to ashes! ”
Guo Ye sneered: "Who said I was alone? In Jianghuai, the governor of Liangjiang, Zeng Guofan, commanded hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and in Gyeonggi, our monk king also commanded 100,000 elite soldiers, not to mention them, even in Tongxian, the battalion under my command is not something that you British or French can eat! Don't you just rely on firearms? Now we have it, on that flagship, we have dismantled more than a dozen guns, and they can be used one by one, muskets? Hehe, you have already sent us more than a thousand, not counting the firearms we ordered from the Americans and subsequently purchased additional ones, how many people can your British and French fleets send? Don't tell me, you can bring 600,000 British troops or 600,000 French troops to Dagukou, I, Guo Ye, am not a fool! ”
Bourblon pursed his lips and replied, "Why, can't you?" Now that the French Empire has more than 800,000 heroes, it is not impossible to lead 600,000 to China! Our fleet can fully afford to come down! ”
Guo Ye laughed and replied: "Mr. Bourblon, don't scare me, first, the shadow of the economic crisis in Europe and the United States has just dissipated, and your own domestic economy has not yet eased up; Second, you have just finished the Crimean War, and you have fought with Tsarist Russia in the dark, with countless casualties; With these two items alone, do you really have the ability to bring 600,000 troops to China? Slippery world! ”
Airplanes!
The heads of Bulblon and Bruce were dizzy and almost fell down, this guy knows everything ****** him! He knows English, he knows French, and he even knows about the Crimean War and the economic crisis! When did the information of the Great Qing Kingdom become so unimpeded? Could it be that this Qing Dynasty really shouldn't have died, and there was a genius who could do everything in culture and martial arts? A figure like the great Napoleon?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Napoleon once said that China in the East is a sleeping hero, when you are asleep, it is not terrible, once you wake up, it is to eat people!
Bulblon and Bruce suddenly felt a shudder!
This guy is not easy to deal with!
Bulblon and Bruce finally lowered their arrogant heads in front of the people who understood, but they took it seriously, and it was more comfortable to deal with people who understood than to deal with those fools, who didn't understand anything, couldn't understand people at all!
The two sides began to work the terms of the peace talks, pondering one by one, refuting one by one, and the negotiation table was more intense than the battlefield at Dagukou, and the two ministers were so angry by Guo Ye that they were angry, but after all, there was no good way to deal with it, the threat of force? It seems that this guy doesn't eat this set at all! Reasonable? Looks like this guy has more reasons than we do!
The two sides talked for three or four days at the negotiation table, and finally Britain and France still made concessions, no way, that prince is still easy to speak, that bullshit adjutant general, the minister of Xiangban is too difficult to deal with, harder than a stone, more shrewd than a monkey!
At the negotiating table, the two sides finally signed the "Beijing Treaty" between China and Britain and China and France.
The treaty stipulated: first, Britain and France could set up a legation in Beijing, and the Qing government would allocate a piece of land in Dongjiaomin Lane to place the envoys of various countries in the embassy area, and the Qing government had the obligation to protect the personal and property safety of the consular envoys of various countries; Second, the Qing government opened ten more ports such as Tianjin and Chaozhou as commercial ports, allowing foreign merchant ships to enter the Yangtze River inland waterways, but British and French goods entering China need to pay taxes according to the requirements of the Qing government, and at the same time cancel the one-sided most-favored-nation treatment!; Third, the Qing government paid Britain and France 3 million taels of silver as war reparations, to be paid in ten years, with an annual interest rate of 5%, but Britain and France needed to deduct weapons and equipment of the same value; Fourth, foreign missionaries are allowed to carry out missionary work in China, but they are not allowed to oppress the peasants, force them to convert to foreign religions, and draw maps of the interior without permission. Fifth, the Qing government customs handed over to the Qing government to appoint officials freely, independent and autonomous, and could hire foreign officers, but they were not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the customs; Wait a minute.
Finally signed the treaty, Guo Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, this crime can be regarded as his back, but this crime, in the future, he will inevitably wash it away in person, how to wash it away, then wait for Lao Tzu to lead the warship and drink the English Channel!
