Chapter 292: First Contact
The Tiele soldiers who came with them were furious, they trusted Varian's swordsmanship, but they never thought that someone would dare to draw a spear during a sword fight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoIn order to avoid a big dispute, they all came with swords and did not carry rifles. At this time, he had to raise his sword and surround Zhao Guanhou, but Zhao Guanhou had already lost his pistol, and two more guns were drawn from under his robe, and he opened his bow left and right, and poured bullets into the crowd mercilessly.
The gunfire was loud, and the screams were repeated, and one after another Tiele warriors fell to the ground, screaming in despair. The first floor was turned into a slaughterhouse, and the soldiers were turned into rolling gourds. When the two guns and bullets were empty, Zhao Guanhou's body squatted down, slid forward, and the two sabers that fell to the ground were copied by him in his hands.
The remaining few Tiele soldiers rushed up with a scream, while Zhao Guanhou waved the two sabers in his hands at high speed, the sword light was like snow, and the knife was as fast as flying. The saber slashed through the hand of the first Tie Ler, slashing his wrist to the ground. Before he could scream, the man had already passed by him, and his body was suddenly short, and he crashed into the arms of the second Tiele soldier, and his knees were raised, making a close contact with the lower body of the second soldier, and a tooth-aching cracking sound sounded. Then two sabers swirled in the air and plunged into the shoulders of the other two Tiele soldiers, who were led all the way back to the wall, where they were slammed into the wall.
Blood flowed, ghosts cried wolves, even those who were brave and ruthless on weekdays were stunned by this kind of slashing, and looking at Zhao Guanhou's eyes, he was already a little more afraid.
Aoki and Yoko's eyes have brightened, and the two have reached a consensus at this moment, this brave and impulsive, who can ignore the overall situation for the sake of women, is the partner he can choose. Aoki commanded, "I'll pay you wages, not for you to see here, and leave all the Tiele people behind." β
Zhao Guanhou had already let go of his saber at this time, clapped his hands and came to Varian. Varian was unable to move at this time, and the pain of the wound made his originally handsome face distorted.
"As I said, if you break your own hand, I can act as if nothing happened. How nice would it be for you to go back and be a happy cripple and not have to do military service? Unfortunately, if you refuse to listen to the advice of others, I will have to help you. I'm a person who has always liked to help people the most, and since I help you to be disabled, I'll be more completely wasted. Now that your limbs are broken, I think you can enjoy life in the hospital for the rest of your life, I am a very kind person, no need to thank me. β
Cuiyu had already run over, grabbed Zhao Guanhou's hand, and looked up and down, "Are you injured?" You...... You have injured so many people, what should you do if the foreigners blame you? β
"What to do, it's a big deal. I gave him a chance, and he didn't know how to cherish it, so I can't be blamed. In short, I won't allow anyone to bully you, but I want to see what the Tiele people can do to me. β
Cheng Zhen and Shanqi's faces were ugly, and the former killed Clinder, causing such a big dispute. Although Valyan is not as good as Clinder, he is also Tieler's military attachΓ©, and when he made such a thing during the peace talks, how can this negotiation be discussed. Of course, they can't say that Yang Cuiyu should do military discipline, but from the perspective of the overall situation, compared with the safety of a country, a woman should obviously give up the small to protect the big.
Especially good at the elderly, at this time, I feel that Zhao Guanhou is a little ignorant, such a person is okay to be a military general, and he is used to do national affairs, but he is not a person.
Aoki said: "Zhao Jun, I'm very sorry, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, it's our fault." Please wait a moment while I inform our garrison that the gendarmes will escort you back to the palace and ensure your safety. β
"Thank you Aoki-kun for your kindness, this capital is the place of our Great Jin Country, and here, the safety of the officials of the Jin Kingdom is protected by foreign soldiers. Jade, let's go, I want to see how afraid of death the Tiele people are, and how many people can be sent to leave us behind. β
Yang Cuiyu had nothing to say, and followed Zhao Guanhou downstairs, but when she arrived on the first floor, she found that there were already a lot of people, and there were more than fifty soldiers controlling the first floor, looking at their military uniforms, they were all Prussians. In the middle of the person is wearing a stone blue satin gown, embroidered with a python, wearing a carved gold seat on his head, decorated with eastern pearls, a ruby crown, and a black fox scarf on his shoulder. She is dressed like a first-class wife, smiling skillfully, and her eyebrows are picturesque, but she is the newly famous beauty in the capital.
When she saw Zhao Guanhou and Yang Cuiyu coming down, she walked over and put her hand on Zhao Guanhou's shoulder, "What's the matter, when you come to Beijing, you don't have to look at the second sister, just hand over a famous thorn." You think I'm your boss, and it's perfunctory, right? When I got to my sister's door, I didn't know how to go in and sit, didn't I talk about etiquette? I don't have time to look at me, but I have time to come to this Oriental Luozi Museum, what's so good about this? Isn't it just that little thing, a group of juniors, I don't see any good craftsmanship from them. β
"Second sister, you are wronged, I want to go in, the bunch of soldiers at the door, did I go in? Why are you so idle, and you also come to this Yangluozi Pavilion to sit? β
Sai Jinhua snorted, "I have no conscience, if I didn't come to this place to support you, it's too cheap." You killed so many Tiele people in Xuanhua, and you went around with the big golden knife in Dongjiaomin Lane, and you were blind. The Tiele people at the door have arrested more than 30 people, and there are more than a dozen people with guys, if I don't come, I'm afraid you will suffer. No, I borrowed a company of soldiers to come over and help you. Go, come and sit down with me. β
"It's too late today, isn't it?"
"What a lot of nonsense, walking."
Sai Jinhua unceremoniously pulled Zhao Guanhou, Yang Cuiyu followed closely by the side, Chengzhen and Shanqi both knew Sai Jinhua, and they also knew that she was now Wadsey's pillow person, but no one dared to mess with her at this time. Outside the first floor, there was also a platoon of Prussian soldiers with guns on guard, more than thirty Tiele people were controlled to one side, and more than a dozen guns were thrown on the ground.
When Aoki saw the carriage go away, a company of infantry ran behind the carriage and sneered at the Tiele people, "Gentlemen, I wish you a happy life in the gendarmerie. No one is going to leave until your envoy comes forward. β
The carriage left Dongdan and went straight to Xiyuan, where the former Xixi dormitory Yiluan Hall has now become the residence of Wadsey. On the way, Sai Jinhua looked at Yang Cuiyu, "We've seen it before, right?" When Guanhou got married, you were also busy. You said you are a very beautiful girl, what kind of door is going to go at this time? The whole capital, it's not the time of the year, it's not safe for the big girl to go out, you said that if it weren't for the crown marquis to protect you, you would have to suffer a big loss. Come to the place later, change clothes with me, and let's have a good chat. β
Yang Cuiyu nodded and thanked her. Zhao Guanhou looked at Sai Jinhua's clothes and laughed, "Second sister, you are the clothes of a first-class woman, who sealed your life?" β
"I was originally a commandment, but without a decree I could have sent to the nations? But ah, Wadsey wants to find the noble lady of the Kingdom of Jin, and I just let him think. If I wasn't afraid that the court would investigate it in the future, I would have worn the clothes of Prince Fujin. You came just in time today, Wadsey also wants to talk to you, with me, don't be afraid, say whatever you want, I'll carry it for you. β
Zhao Guanhou nodded, he knew that Sai Jinhua came forward today to repay his kindness, and he was afraid that he also had Wadsey's instructions. During the period when Zhang Shaoquan was unable to continue the negotiations due to illness, the ministers of various countries probably hoped to get some news from themselves and grasp more initiative in the negotiations, and their plans had already taken the first step, and the next step was to see what Wadsey really thought.
The carriage stopped all the way to the front of the Yiluan Palace, and the three of them got off, Sai Jinhua took Yang Cuiyu to change clothes, and Zhao Guanhou was led by a servant to see Wadsey. He knew the rules and automatically unloaded the bullets he was wearing, and the foreigners did not search his body, so he obviously understood that as long as he was not an idiot at this time, he would not do the stupid act of shooting and assassinating the commander of the coalition army.
Wadsey did not wear a military uniform, but a civilian dress, and his face was also very kind, and when he met, he first asked someone to bring hot tea and snacks, and then asked with concern: "I heard that the Tiele people attacked you, I hope you are not harmed." If the negotiating ambassador is harmed before the negotiation, it is very bad for the reputation of all countries. β
"Fortunately, there's nothing wrong down there, it's just that the situation of those Tiele people doesn't seem to be good."
"The situation of the Tiele people is in charge of their military doctors, these guys who will only cause trouble, I've had enough of them."
Wadsey expressed his dissatisfaction with the Tiele people for a moment, and then asked, "Has your country's Zhang Zhongtang's health improved a little?" I believe that our peace talks should be completed as soon as possible, and this is a very important matter for both your country and my country. β
"Your Excellency Commander, the Prime Minister is very old, and it is not easy to get well when he is sick, so he still needs time to recuperate. The matter of peace discussion, you and I, both of us are in the same mood, and we both hope that it will be reached as soon as possible, and the people of Li will not suffer from the swords and soldiers. Two relatives and one military plane died, and the coffin was parked in the city, and your country could send someone to inspect it at any time, which is enough to prove sincerity. King Zhuang's team is on the road, and after catching up, he will also be executed. As for Yuxian, Duanwang and the others, since they were dead, killing corpses did not seem to conform to the rules of the civilized world. β
Wadsey nodded, he originally opened the list of war criminals, and he didn't expect that the Jin Congress would implement it all, out of the principle of relatives and nobles avoiding death, he was ready, and no one with the name could die, but it would be dealt with in a way such as captivity, and in the future, he would ask for more things from other aspects to make up for this part.
I didn't expect Jin Guo to spend a lot of money and solve so many relatives and nobles in one go, but it was not easy for him to speak.
"I have seen your sincerity, and my country has sent a reporter to take pictures, and I think that our Emperor His Majesty can also appreciate the sincerity of your country. It is precisely for this reason that our peace process should be accelerated, peace should be achieved at an early date, and our diplomatic relations should be continued. β
"Your Excellency, but it seems to me that although our country has given the sincerity of peace, the sincerity of the coalition forces is not obvious. For example, the conditions offered are simply impossible to achieve. Even if China is a weak country in the peace talks under such conditions, there is absolutely no reason for us to sign it. β
"Lord Zhao, because of the relationship between Mrs. Zhuangyuan, we can be regarded as relatives in a sense. So I can tell you some truth, not diplomatic rhetoric. Do you think there is still room for your country to refuse? β
Wadsey sneered, "My country has kept its promise and will not enter Shandong." But we can attack other provinces, and when a country is only Shandong, how long do you think the country will last, a month or a year? Compared to maintaining the country, you will find that the terms of the peace treaty are actually very lenient, at least for a defeated country, and these terms have taken into account your difficulties. In fact, I've seen a much more demanding treaty than this, and it was signed in the end. β
Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "Commander, I don't mean to offend, but I still want to point out that you have a mistake. Your army can enter Shanxi, Henan, or any other province. However, it is impossible to occupy it. Because you are foreigners. Our people will not accept the rule of a group of foreigners, and your troops are not strong enough to maintain the size of the occupation force. How many troops can you have in a city? When a city's garrison is less than one battalion, you will find that the garrison itself is not safe. And in order to maintain the size of the occupation force of more than one battalion, even if Prussia carried out a general mobilization, the number of troops would still not be enough. β
He held up the blue and white porcelain bowl to Wadsey and made a gesture of please: "If our country does not want peace, and orders the fight to continue in the name of the two palaces, I am sure that this battle will bring down Prussia, and indeed all countries." We have the southeastern provinces, with hundreds of trillions of people, and if necessary, we can let them attack the targets at will. You will be bogged down in a law and order war. In the end, you can master the city, and that's not all, but we will have the countryside. In China, where the population and area of the countryside are much larger than those of the cities, there is no winner in this battle. That being the case, we should all avoid making things worse to that point, and instead try to make peace as much as possible, so that we can both have a relatively decent outcome. β
Wadsey listened to his words, and said without comment, and then said, "What is the decency you refer to?" β
"For changes to some of the treaty provisions, such as reparations. This part is that the numbers need to be discussed, and the second is that the payment methods should be more flexible. Prussia also had commercial interests in China, and if you siphoned off all the silver from the Golden State, your merchants would be unprofitable. Instead of focusing solely on silver, why not think about something else? For example, the right of way, such as mining rights, such as expanding the area of the concession, and acquiring new concessions, and at the same time can also fight for more power for the concession. These are much more meaningful than simply asking for money. β
"Another example is the arms embargo, the main weapons used by the Flying Tigers are knives, guns and clubs, and these weapons can be built by the Jin Kingdom itself. As for the new army, which is armed with foreign guns, it has not taken the initiative to attack your country. In fact, we relied on foreign guns to exterminate the boxers. β
"The arms embargo is a test of your country's attitude towards all countries, and if it continues to be unfriendly, the embargo will continue to be maintained until you recognize the rules of the civilized world and take the initiative to embrace the civilized world."
"Maybe that's the case, but the price is that the Jin Kingdom itself doesn't have enough strength to deal with the Flying Tiger Regiment and the like. Moreover, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of businessmen from various countries in Jinguo, and there is no way to guarantee that the officers and soldiers armed with swords and guns will deal with the bandits. Therefore, this article also needs to be discussed. Of course, the most important point is that the view that the two houses have launched a declaration of war against the countries is completely wrong. At that time, the two palaces thought that King Duan was holding him hostage, and it was he who issued a decree declaring war in the name of the two palaces and fought against various countries without authorization. The purpose was to make his own son emperor. In fact, there is evidence that the two houses tried their best to protect the people of various countries within their means, including myself when I carried out the order to shell the embassy, deliberately fired the shells into the air. Now that King Duan is dead and the eldest brother is gone, our country is very eager to reconcile with other countries, and the interruption of the supply of weapons at this time will make the court have doubts about the friendship of your country, and it is not conducive to further deepening the friendship between our two countries. β
Wadsey said: "So what are the terms approved by your country, and what kind of results do you want your envoy to talk about?" We can use our private identity to contact first, which is also for the sake of Mrs. Zhuangyuan's face. (To be continued.) )
