Chapter 129: Brigadier Commander, let's do the opposite

Two months passed in a flash, and Wang Sirui's troops gradually took shape, and after two months of reinforcement training, the earliest 10,000 troops raised their combat effectiveness by more than one grade.

And the 7,000 new recruits who joined later, after two months of training, barely reached the level where they could go to the battlefield.

As for the 10,000 troops promised to be handed over to the imperial court, Wang Sirui did not train them well at all.

Every day, as long as the soldiers who were being trained shouted that they were tired and bitter, the instructors immediately stopped the training and let them rest for a while before continuing the training.

The instructor's explanation to the above is that their training has always been like this, and only by combining work and rest can each training achieve the greatest effect.

At first, the above didn't believe it, but after going to Wang Sirui's side for a few spot checks, the above was relieved, because the training methods on both sides were exactly the same.

In the middle, Wang Sirui made another deal with Juan, this time the deal was a little bigger than before, a total of 20,000 Type 30 rifles and 200 Makqin heavy machine guns.

The number of all transactions has doubled compared to before, even if a lot of silver taels were taken out to open up the relationship, Juan finally made a cool crooked, and at the same time, Wang Sirui handed Juan a bigger order, once completed, the profit will be as much as millions of taels of silver.

However, this batch of weapons was not immediately equipped to the 7,000 recruits, who were as empty-handed as the 10,000 recruits on the side of the imperial court, and Wang Sirui also found Li Hongzhang more than once to complain, hoping that the imperial court could help them solve the problem of weapons.

At this time, Li Hongzhang's energy is being used for negotiations, so how can he have extra time to solve the problem of weapons?

Besides, training recruits is just to prepare for emergencies, and now the negotiations are going smoothly and quickly, seeing that the war is about to end, so Li Hongzhang did not take this matter to heart.

On March 4, 91, under the witness of hundreds of media reporters, the Qing court and representatives of 11 countries formally signed the "Xinchou Treaty" in the hall of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing.

However, the original text of the "Xinchou Treaty" this time is very different from the previous one, and there is almost no clause on it that humiliates the country. Of course, this is compared to the previous Treaty of Shimonoseki.

The signing of the "Xinchou Treaty" made the entire Qing court breathe a sigh of relief, and no one expected that things would go so smoothly.

In order to end the war as soon as possible, the Qing court did not bite the word in some terms, as long as the other party was not excessive, this side agreed to it.

And there are ten articles in this treaty.

For a military fee, the Qing court needed to pay a total of 20 million taels of silver to the eleven countries, which needed to be paid within half a year.

Second, the Qing court was required to pay a total of 10 million taels of silver to the soldiers killed in the war of the 11 countries, and this money had to be paid within one month.

3. Withdrawing troops, the eleven nations were required to withdraw the allied forces in Tientsin within seven days of receiving a pension of 10 million taels of silver, and promised not to attack again. The Qing court was required to release the members of the coalition command at the same time as paying 10 million taels of silver.

Fourth, the embassy area will be demarcated, and the east Jiaomin Lane in the capital will be designated as the embassy area, and the Chinese in the area will not be allowed to live, and each country can send troops of up to 200 people to station.

5. Demolition of forts, dismantling all forts from Dagu to the capital.

The Qing government promised to suppress the anti-imperialist struggle, forbade the Chinese to form or participate in any organization that was hostile to other countries, and violators were to be put to death.

Seven apologized to Germany and Japan, sent princes and ministers to Germany and Japan to express regret, and built a memorial arch at the place where the German minister Klinder was killed.

8. Punish officials who have gone along with the Boxers.

9. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was established, and the Prime Minister's Yamen was changed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the head of the six trains, and became an institution for exchanges between the Qing government and foreign powers.

Ten executions of Wang Sirui, the culprit who provoked the war.

The first nine articles were finally reached after nearly two months of tug-of-war between the two sides, and although this treaty and the real treaty in history have not changed much on the surface, in fact they have changed a lot.

In terms of indemnity, it was changed from 450 million taels of silver to 30 million taels, and there was no interest, which would not lead to the lack of national strength of the Qing court in a short period of time.

There have also been some changes in the demarcation of the embassy area, the most important of which is that countries are not allowed to send troops of more than 200 troops at most, which means that they can only send troops to protect the safety of the people in the embassy area, but not the ability to start a war.

This is particularly important, as this provision in history does not limit the number of troops in the garrison.

The second is the dismantling of the fort, although the fort is also demolished, but there is no coalition garrison along the line, which is the biggest change.

The other provisions are not very different, but the appearance of Article 10 is very surprising.

As a newcomer who only joined in the middle and late stages of the war, Wang Sirui was named the culprit who provoked the war in this treaty, and a separate clause was listed, which is enough to show the importance that the great powers attach to Wang Sirui.

In fact, the first nine regulations took nearly two months to negotiate, and the final Article 10 took only half a day for the two sides to reach an agreement.

Obviously, it is not only foreigners who do not want Wang Sirui to live, but also the Qing court. In fact, Wang Sirui was not allowed to participate in the later negotiations, and Yixuan had this consideration at the time, but before he could speak, the foreigner took the initiative to put it forward.

Although the two sides signed a treaty, the implementation of this treaty has not been completed, so the content of the entire treaty is still in the stage of secrecy, and the media can only watch from a distance, even if they secretly see the content of the clause, no one dares to leak it.

…………

"Hmph, they really look up to my Wang, and they even listed a separate clause, it seems that my Wang's pressure on them is not small!" After learning the specific content of the clause, Wang Sirui laughed and talked with a self-deprecating smile.

"This fucking is too bullying, not to mention our hard work to win the battle, the bullshit court has put you on a trumped-up charge, such a court is not worth our service at all." Wu Yang said with an angry expression, after learning the content of this treaty, Wu Yang suddenly felt an inexplicable grievance in his heart, hesitated slightly, and said firmly: "Brigade commander, or let's do the opposite." ”

"That's it, Brigadier Commander, let's do the opposite!" Wu Zixuan also followed suit.

Now everyone knows that as long as Wang Sirui is executed, the next unlucky ones will be them, Wang Sirui's henchmen, not just them, even the battalion commander below, and even the company commander may be disposed of.

And Wang Sirui has controlled this army for more than half a year, and he has brought it up single-handedly, so it is difficult to guarantee that the people below will have any bad intentions.

Now that this clause has appeared, the Qing court will definitely cut down the grass in order to ensure its own rule.

Wang Sirui glanced at the following henchmen, quite helpless.

It's not that he doesn't want to oppose it, but with his current strength, he doesn't have the ability to oppose the Qing Dynasty at all.

Although he can directly occupy the capital and dominate one side, the Qing court can still go to other places to build the capital, after all, it has existed for hundreds of years, as long as the Qing court gives an order, there are still more people willing to follow them.

Moreover, the foreigners will never allow Wang Sirui to oppose the Qing Dynasty, because then they will lose a legitimate blackmail target.

Moving the capital is indeed very good for the Qing court, at least it is unlikely that the foreigners want to fight in front of them. After occupying the capital, the foreigners will directly confront Wang Sirui.

For foreigners who have already tried Wang Sirui's awesomeness, will they be willing?

Therefore, it is certain that as long as Wang Sirui pulls out the banner of anti-Qing, the coalition army will immediately come to the city. Although Wang Sirui still has the strength to resist in the short term, as long as this war drags on for ten days and half a month, Wang Sirui will run out of ammunition and food.

In the end, even if it really succeeds and overthrows the Qing court, Wang Sirui's current strength will not be able to control the whole country, and then the whole country will fall into a situation of separation, and the tragedy of history will be staged again.

The content of the treaty forced Wang Sirui's confidants to make the worst decision. However, they have no strategic vision, only see the danger in front of them, and only think about solving the current problem, but do not think about what to do in the future.

"It's not that it's not back, it's just that the time hasn't come yet!" Wang Sirui sighed.

"Brigade commander, when is this, if you wait, you will die." Ma Sanru said with some emotion.

Originally, he didn't believe in this treaty, because the content of this treaty was not found out by Ma Sanru. It is a confidant next to Li Hongzhang, a transcribed version sent by Liu Xuexun personally.

Ma Sanru and others still didn't trust Liu Xuexun very much, but after seeing the content of the treaty sent by Liu Xuexun, they immediately understood what Liu Xuexun meant.

After expressing his gratitude, Wang Sirui still refused Liu Xuexun's invitation.

And Liu Xuexun didn't care, but waved his hand, didn't say a word, and left the barracks with a smile on his face.

"If you want my life, it's not that simple." Wang Sirui said with half-squinted eyes.

can be regarded as a hero of the Qing court, even if the Qing court has sold Wang Sirui as a transaction, but on the surface he is still a hero.

If the Qing court wanted to execute itself, it had to do it in secret, and then declare it to the public that it was due to illness or some other reason, so as not to cause domestic dissatisfaction, and as for this treaty, if nothing else, as long as it was within the reign of the Qing court, this treaty would never be published.

And in order to ensure their own face, the foreigners will definitely not announce this treaty.

Let these people calculate everything, but they won't be able to calculate it, in fact, Wang Sirui has long been prepared for this result.

This pit dug by the Qing court, who will jump it is anyone! (To be continued.) )
