Chapter 930: The Treaty of Tianjin

A group of cunning old foxes had a fierce confrontation at the negotiation table, or heated words, or tears, or talking and laughing, or jumping and scolding their mothers, anyway, they did everything. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Others have finally seen Li Hongzhang's diplomatic methods, such as scoundrels, huge profits, and insidiousness, but it is only through such means that China's interests can be guaranteed.

The last problem is focused on the Philippine archipelago, which is the biggest problem.

Spain is unwilling to make concessions, and must retake the Philippine Islands, Li Hongzhang insists on not giving in, the two sides are in dispute, France is obviously on the side of Spain, but the attitude is not resolute, as for England, he also sits faintly on the Chinese side, because he does not support China, everything is in vain, even the Malay Peninsula can not be taken back, harming others and benefiting himself, of course such a thing must be done, but it is difficult to wipe off face and tear face with Spain.

"Alright, don't make any noise!"

Guo Ye rubbed his head and shouted: "We have been arguing for ten days, we can't continue to quarrel, either you turn around and leave, let's go to war again, or, accept our conditions, I will show my attitude for the last time, Cebu, with Cebu as the boundary of the 10th parallel of north latitude, the north of the 10th parallel is controlled by us, and the Philippine islands south of the 10th parallel are controlled by you, either you are satisfied, we are all satisfied, or you are not satisfied, Lao Tzu will let the mercenaries slaughter the Spaniards in the Philippines!" Garcia, the choice is yours! ”

"Garcia, since General Guo Ye has made concessions, what are you not satisfied with? I think it's a good idea, you should consider it! ”

Malton raised his voice.

Garcia frowned, he also understood that it was unrealistic to want to take back the Philippines through the negotiation table, but it was impossible to give up the Philippines like this, it was estimated that the king would kill himself!

"Manila!"

Garcia took a deep breath and replied, "We are also willing to take a step forward and take the 14th parallel of north latitude where Manila is located, south of the 14th parallel of north latitude belongs to the Kingdom of Spain, and north of 14th parallel north latitude is the area controlled by your China!" ”

"Shaoquan, Bochuan, let's go! Prepare for war tomorrow! ”

Obviously, Guo Ye lost his patience, and as he spoke, he stood up and walked out first!

Li Hongzhang and Guo Songtao stood up helplessly, and spread their hands towards the ministers of the four countries, expressing helplessness, you can do it yourself.

Now Malton is anxious, specially, can't start a war, if the war starts again, England will suffer the most, obviously, no matter what, the Chinese on Hong Kong Island also want to take it back, a Hong Kong Island, no matter how powerful the British are, they will definitely not be able to hold it, and the Malay Peninsula will not return smoothly at the same time, the war together, how much will it cost? It's not cost-effective, it's not cost-effective!

As for Gro on the side, he also felt tremendous pressure, without him, because Guo Ye had already made it clear that as long as there was another war, China would definitely push the front to Indochina, which would involve France in great danger!

"General Guo, General Guo stays, stays!"

Malton took a few steps, bypassed the negotiation table, grabbed Guo Ye, and said.

Gro also stood up and shouted: "General Guo stays, Garcia has left, Guo Ye has already given in, you don't want to be ignorant, half is better than nothing, right?" ”

The two of them put pressure on Garcia at the same time, and Garcia felt a huge pressure when he ascended, and if neither ally supported him, it would be even more useless! Garcia, who was isolated, also lost his temper at all and had to soften his attitude.

In the end, the Treaty of Tientsin was passed, the Chinese and the British achieved their goals, France had no desire, but the unlucky ones were Spain and Japan, but Britain and France nodded, and it was difficult for the two small countries to make waves in East Asia.

First, the aggressors of the four countries compensated China with 1 million pounds sterling for various losses, of which Britain, France, Spain, and Japan each bore 250,000 pounds.

Second, China unconditionally released the prisoners of the Four-Nation Coalition and made every effort to ensure the personal safety of the wounded before the prisoners were handed over.

Third, Britain, France, and Spain, on behalf of European countries, recognized the existence of Guo Ye's new regime in China and had the legitimacy to represent China.

Fourth, Britain returned control of Hong Kong, Yantai and other ports to China, abolished all concessions in China, abolished the terms of all previous unequal treaties, and China transferred all control of the Malay Peninsula to the British Empire;

Fifth, the sphere of influence of China and Spain should be divided between the 10th parallel where Cebu is located, with the south of the 10th parallel under the control of Spain and the north of the 10th parallel under the control of China, and the garrison of China and Spain in the Philippine Islands shall not exceed 5,000 men, and the total tonnage of warships shall not exceed 20,000 tons, so as to ensure the security of the region and at the same time not threaten the ******** balance in the South Sea;

Sixth, the five countries of the two sides shelved their dispute over Japan, and the four countries pledged to support Japan to a limited extent.

……

This great war caused by He Tengjiao in Japan finally subsided after nearly half a year.

First of all, the Chinese mercenary corps, under the protection of the Shandong Naval Division, retreated step by step, left the Strait of Malacca, and approached Manila Bay, and now that the entire Luzon Island has fallen under the control of Chen Hai, naturally there will be no problems.

Immediately after the British announced that they would give up control of Yantai and Hong Kong, the mixed fleet and the three-nation fleet protected the retreat of the British and French forces from the port of Tianjin, all the way back to Nanyang, and after the new regime of Guo Ye was formally established, they would further establish relations with the new government;

After thinking about it, China and Spain began to restrain their respective forces, and according to the agreement, with Cebu as the boundary, they determined their respective spheres of influence.

After all the provisions of the treaty are fulfilled, China will release all the prisoners of various countries and finally complete the implementation of the treaty.

The most unfortunate thing is Japan, a big war, the loss of 30,000 elite soldiers, but also in the compensation of 250,000 pounds in compensation, although in the end the British expressed their willingness to provide Japan with the corresponding interest-free loans, to ensure that the Japanese economy will not collapse, but such losses are still to be borne by Japan!

After Ichiro Miyamoto got the news, he didn't return to Japan at all, picked up the saber given by Emperor Meixiao, directly cut open his stomach, and committed suicide by disembowelment to thank the countrymen!

The news soon spread back to Japan, at this time, Emperor Mingxiao had been incorporated, and was violently stimulated by the "Tianjin Treaty", completely unable to stand it, blowing the lamp and pulling out wax, a life to return to the west, the prince Muren succeeded to the throne, known as the Meiji Emperor, and continued to start to unify Japan.
