After several days of careful discussion of the terms of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although there were times when there were sharp words and back-and-forths seemed to be very intense, after all, in terms of attitude, both sides of the negotiation were quite restrained. However, when the more than 100 clauses put forward by the Manchu Qing were finally clarified, and everyone sat down together in the negotiation hall, the air in the hall gradually became different.
No matter how ugly the daughter-in-law is, there must always be a time to see her in-laws, Zaiyuan, Seng Lingqin and others have endured patiently until now, and they are naturally waiting for the other party to finally come up with their own terms.
In the morning, the floor bell in the middle of the negotiation hall had just struck nine times, and the stuffy heat in the lobby was almost a steamer. Dozens of delegates from both sides of the long table covered with a layer of snow-white cloth sat down on both sides of the long table made up of several square tables, and their ears were filled with the "know" outside the lobby...... The piercing cicada chirping of the ...... is the sound of various folding fans and pu fans whirring inside.
In the past few days, except for the short opening remarks that must be used as the master, Hong Renji, who has rarely spoken, is abnormal today, with the shaking of a folding fan in his hand, the opening remarks have increased, "After so many days, some people may think that we just like to pick bones in eggs, endlessly entangled in each other's terms, but don't talk about ourselves, which makes people upset." It may also be said that we are deliberately delaying the negotiation process. Actually, they were all wrong. We Celestial Empire officials, no matter what we do, always like to be meticulous. ”
He smiled and looked at Zaeyuan opposite, "Since it's a negotiation, we must first understand each other's hearts." In fact, we still admire the ability of your representatives to sort out so many detailed terms in a short period of time. Let's not say whether there are many inappropriate points in these more than 100 articles, just looking at the number is enough for us to learn. Therefore, it would be difficult to fully understand your profound meaning if it were not for the careful consideration above......"
God, if you don't say it, it's just a long story, which day is a stop? Monk Lingqin looked up at the roof, the folding fan in his hand waved heavily, and his buttocks twisted a few times on the chair, full of unhappiness. The weather was already hot, and there were dozens of angry people gathered here, coupled with the steaming tea that was still in front of everyone, this already stout county prince, from the moment he came in, he felt like he had entered a bathing place, and the sweat of a lifetime seemed to be all flowing here.
Hong Renji is still talking. Monk Greenqin's heart seemed to be on fire, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something. He looked at everyone on the other side, then at his left and right, then looked down at himself, and then closed his eyes on his back.
All the members of the Celestial Empire delegation on the opposite side, including Hong Renji, all had short hair, all homespun white shirts, and the sleeves were still high. Look at yourself again, with long braids and thick official uniforms, each of them seems to be covering maggots, really, no wonder people sit so steadily. Alas, jokes are not as good as people! When I came here a few days ago, the gang of fellow guys, of course, including myself, weren't they still laughing at other people's officials and soldiers? It's good now......
He opened his eyes uncomfortably, and it happened that his gaze met Zeng Guofan, who was squinting at him diagonally. I forgot just now, this guy's braids are still there, look at him, from time to time he has to wipe the back of his neck with a sweat towel, hum, it's really a blessing.
Since coming to Jinan, Zeng Guofan, who had been an official in the same dynasty as him before, has used various excuses to find him privately, and the topics are all-inclusive. Despite this, he could still hear and see the connotation of what Zeng Guofan talked about with him. Of course, he had also seen the newspaper here, and the name of Zeng Guofan on it was almost never returned, and the statement was even more novel, if he hadn't seen him, he really thought it was just a coincidence in the name. Hehe, this former Zeng Da is now dead set on becoming someone's echo worm.
“…… Well, after talking about a lot, it is nothing more than saying that everyone has tried their best to achieve their respective goals in order to achieve their respective goals in this negotiation. Hong Renji smiled happily, "Although there are not so many articles in our terms, they have been carefully considered, and at the same time, the opinions of all parties have been sought, especially the wishes of the people's representatives. It wasn't until the night before yesterday that all the terms were finalized. ”
Seeing that the Manchu delegates who were drowsy by the scorching heat began to concentrate with their words, Hong Renji gradually put away his smile, "Next, I would like to ask our representative General Zuo Zongtang to read out our terms. ”
"I want to make one point clear first," Zuo Zongtang picked up the terms of the peace talks in front of him, looked at Zaiyuan and the others opposite, and cleared his throat, "I hope you will pay attention to the fact that this negotiation is definitely not a state-to-state negotiation, which is why from the very beginning, during the formal negotiations between us, no other countries' observation missions were allowed to attend." ”
His opening remarks made the whole room much quieter, and half of the fan stopped shaking. Looking at the wide eyes of the representatives on the other side, Zuo Zongtang smiled in his heart, "Next, I will read out the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government's Terms on the North-South Peace Talks." ”
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government's Articles on North-South Peace Talks consists of eight articles and 24 paragraphs, the main provisions of which are roughly as follows:
1. The Manchu Emperor Tongzhi must announce his abdication, the Manchu government should be dissolved, and one of the legal systems should be abolished.

2. As the main culprit in launching the war of aggression, the Manchu puppet court, which enslaved the Chinese people for more than 200 years, committed crimes against humanity, the crimes of destroying Chinese culture, the crimes of brutally suppressing the people's revolution, and the crimes of sowing contradictions and plotting the separatism of the Chinese nation.

Among them, anything that is unfavorable to the Chinese people and the state, especially those that are of the nature of betraying the rights of the state, should be abolished, amended, or reformulated under different circumstances.
4. In view of the fact that over the years the Manchu people have become accustomed to life on the land of China and have gradually integrated into our big Chinese family, the government of the Celestial Empire, in line with the principle of giving priority to education and leniency to the masses, has allowed the vast number of Manchu people who have learned their mistakes and corrected their mistakes and returned to their lost ways to continue to live on an equal footing in our land and with other nationalities without being displaced.
5. All armed forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty must accept the reorganization of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If there are any people who continue to be enemies of the people, persist in mobilizing ideas, and plot rebellion, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army will be completely wiped out.
6. The government of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a people's democratic government, and in order to show its greatest sincerity for peace, Yixin, Zaiyuan, Duanhua, and Seng Lingqin are invited to participate in the leadership of the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and discuss the state of the country. However, as a member of the war criminals, the above gentlemen must recognize right from wrong, repent of their previous crimes, and have a sincere statement of the facts.
7. The Manchu puppet court and its local government offices should properly keep all local property, including the property privately held in the palace, before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Workers' and Peasants' Red Army entered into the collection, and must not be sold, hidden, transferred, or damaged.

After reading all the articles, Zuo Zongtang began to read out the list of war criminals, and the first war criminal was none other than Cixi......
