"Presumptuous, this is a foreign man, dare to make trouble here, and then I don't know the inspection point, be careful of the ruthlessness of the king's law!"

Cannon? Colonel Carter made such a fuss, Hongqing sat upright and did not move, but Wang Yan, the 'waiter' of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't see it, and before the interpreter could translate what he said, he was already angry and slapped the table in front of him, and scolded him violently.

"You ......"

Among the seven people from the Kingdom of Great Britain, in addition to the chief and deputy envoy and the two accompanying military attachés, the other two are high-level employees of the East India Company in India, only one is a translator, is a second generation of Chinese living in India, Chinese and English are spoken extremely smoothly, the speed of translation is also extremely fast, Wang Yan's voice just fell, he has quickly translated Wang Yan's words into English, as soon as he heard this, Kannan, who was already thunderous? Colonel Carter was even more angry, pointing at Wang Yan and about to scold.

"Colonel Carter, watch your words and deeds, and sit down!"

The British envoys came here to seek wealth, not to settle grudges with the Qing Dynasty, although everyone looked down on the backward Qing Dynasty in their hearts, of course, this is just the inherent prejudice of Westerners, in fact, after the Qing Dynasty worked hard to operate, both economic strength and military technology have been at the forefront of the world, but Westerners are blind, inherent thinking, take it for granted that the Qing Dynasty is still an incomparably backward old empire, but no matter what, The British gang still don't want to really fall out with the Qing Dynasty, no, don't wait for Cannan? Colonel Carter will curse foul language, the stocky lieutenant William? Sir Woodbridge scolded, grimacing.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkeys!"

William? Sir Woodbridge was also born under the name 'Gate', he is a member of the Woodbridge family, although the title is just a knight, but the power behind it is huge, he is open, Cannan? Colonel Carter didn't dare to disobey, but this guy sat down, but he still scolded vaguely, although his voice was low, but Hongqing's keen ear was clear that Hongqing had been 'mixed' in a prestigious university in his previous life, and he had passed the sixth grade, although he had not used it for many years, and although there was a difference between classical English and modern English, the words of the scolding had hardly changed, and he could understand Kannan? Colonel Carter was scolding, and his eyes instantly became fierce, but he did not have a seizure, but sat still coldly.

"Your Royal Highness, Kannan? Colonel Carter was so 'agitated' that he was rude, and I would like to apologize for this, but we cannot agree to the conditions previously proposed by His Royal Highness the Prince, and ask His Royal Highness to withdraw this proposal. ”

William? Sir Woodbridge glared at Cannan fiercely? Colonel Carter glanced at him and forced him to shut his mouth, and then he got up, bowed to Hongqing, apologized with an apologetic face, and then turned to the topic, expressing a clear objection to Hongqing's previous terms.

"Sir Woodbridge, the King has always negotiated with you with the intention of being kind to men, and the terms put forward have taken full account of the difficulties of your transportation, and I do not understand why you are so angry about this, please give the King a clear reason for opposing it."

As a traverser, of course, Hongqing knows very well what is the significance of opening a commercial port on the other party's land From a political perspective, this is a kind of overlooking posture of the strong to the weak, and from an economic point of view, this is the economic penetration of the strong into the weak, but Hongqing did not break it, but threw the hot potato to William with a clear pretense? Sir Woodbridge.

"This ......, hehe, I would like to express my gratitude for your hospitality, but firstly, my Kingdom of Great Britain does not lack transportation capacity, and secondly, this is thousands of miles away from our country, and there are many bandits along the way, if your fleet has a loss at sea, it is not a good thing for us, because of this, as long as your country is willing to agree to our country to set up a point in your country to purchase relevant goods and sell our various products, we are willing to bear the responsibility and risk of transportation, which is also for your country's consideration, and please His Royal Highness the Prince can understand."

William? Sir Woodbridge was an old colonist, having been in business in India for ten years, so he naturally knew the meaning of opening a trading port, but he didn't intend to explain the mystery to Hongqing, so he played the trick of changing the concept in a vain attempt to "fool" and "mix" the level.

"Your Excellency Sir is too polite, but this king is unwilling to take advantage of your country, or our delivery to the 'door' is good, about my Qing Dynasty now has a slight excess of freight capacity, as long as there is business, it is okay to run more long distances, as for your country's products, after our delivery to the 'door', by the way, buy some and come back."

William? Sir Woodbridge's is used to fool the Qing officials who have no economic common sense, and they may be able to succeed, but when they are brought to Hongqing to show off, it is simply playing with a big axe in front of Lu Ban.

The reason why the British East India Company was able to gain a foothold in India back then was because of William? Sir Woodbridge's bullshit theory earlier, the old-timers of the Kingdom of Great Britain deceived a lot of ancient empires, not only India was the victim, but the Indian tribes and countries in North America were also fooled by this theory, and finally ended up with no bones, but unfortunately, such a tried and tested theory met Hongqing such a "can't be twisted" guy, and he couldn't play it, which can make all the people in the British envoys and so on all depressed enough, I had to hurry and discuss it in a low voice.

"Your Royal Highness, please forgive me for saying that although your country's fleet is not bad, it can only be dominated in the Far East, and this way to my Kingdom of Great Britain has to pass through the waters of countless countries, and the fleets of those rogue countries are all part-time pirates, and your country's fleet is probably not an opponent, if there is a loss, the trade between your two countries will be very disadvantaged, on the other hand, my British fleet is the most powerful navy in the world, no matter which country of pirates, they dare not fight the idea of my British fleet, so, It is the safest strategy to assume the responsibility and risk of transportation. ”

After some urgent consultations, meet Brooks? Count Wilson bowed slightly to Hongqing, and with a sincere face, he weaved a large set of nonsense theories, trying to deter Hongqing and the officials of the Qing Dynasty.

When it comes to the combat effectiveness of the fleet, Hongqing does not deny that the Qing fleet at this time is indeed inferior to the Kingdom of Great Britain, whether in terms of the number of fleets or the training and experience of soldiers, there is a big gap, the only thing that can prevail is probably only the power of artillery, but the latest naval guns have not yet been installed on a large scale, and the power of the old naval guns is not too advantageous compared with the standard artillery of many maritime powers such as Great Britain, but in terms of the current national strength of the Qing Dynasty, It is not too difficult to quickly assemble several powerful fleets, whether it is shipbuilding, sailors and naval guns, the Qing Dynasty has enough foundation, and the reason why it has not been expanded on a large scale is simply because the time has not come.

"His Excellency Earl Wilson's kindness, this king has a heart, as for the combat effectiveness of the fleet, let's put it this way, although I have been building several fleets in the Qing Dynasty for many years, it is a pity that there has been a lack of actual combat experience, this king has long intended to sharpen the life of each fleet, and also has the intention to expand the size of the fleet again, just take advantage of the great opportunity of trade with your country, exterminate some pirates and bandits along the way, it is not bad to increase some experience, in a word, we are willing to bear all kinds of risks along the way, you don't have to be polite."

Others may be worried about the threat of war, but for Hongqing, who is aspiring to dominate the world, war is just a necessary means to victory, and there is really nothing to panic about. Earl Wilson's threatening words were nothing more than a pitiful joke to Hongqing, and they were not worth mentioning at all.

"The fleet of my Kingdom of Great Britain is invincible in the world, you yellow-skinned ......"

As soon as Hongqing's words were translated and translated, all the people in the British envoys were immediately dumbfounded, but it was Cannan, who had just been silent before? Colonel Carter jumped up again, and roared again.

"Colonel Carter, Hugh is talking nonsense, sit down!"

Brooks? The Earl of Wilson was distressed by the deadlock in the negotiations, and this time Kannan? Colonel Carter came out again and added fuel to the fire, and even though he was angry, before he could finish spraying the words, he had already broken his throat and forcibly killed Cannan? Colonel Carter pressed back into his seat.

"Your Royal Highness, the difference between your and my opinions is too great, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to reconcile for a while and a half, so I propose to adjourn the meeting for the time being, and after your and I have discussed it separately, we will discuss it at another time, I don't know what His Royal Highness thinks?"

Brooks? Earl Wilson and the others had come from afar, so they naturally didn't want the negotiations to break down, and seeing that they couldn't get a bargain from Hongqing, they didn't plan to negotiate like this anymore, so they got up, bowed to Hongqing, and proposed a sentence very politely.

"Of course you can, but this king still insists on the original proposal, the tone of the negotiation between you and me will be based on this, you can go back to discuss one or two, and discuss here early the next morning, at that time, I hope you and I can reach a consensus smoothly, otherwise, I am afraid that you will be disappointed and return, okay, that's all, send off!"

On the matter of trade, Hongqing had no intention of fulfilling the intention of the Kingdom of Great Britain, otherwise, he would not have secretly ordered the "Eight Banners Firm" not to trade with the Kingdom of Great Britain 'privately', the fundamental purpose is only one, that is, he does not want to enhance the strength of the Kingdom of Great Britain, in other words, no matter how he talks, Hongqing will not change his opinion, of course, the due foreign 'friendship' etiquette still has to be spoken, since the other party proposes to adjourn the meeting, Hongqing will not object,' After a few words, he sent the tea to the guests......
