Lin Haifeng looked at Ali Guo for a while, and continued, "It is even more regrettable that General Stellin broke through from Jiading after slaughtering a large number of his own wounded last night, and tried to return to the battleship through Longhua. Unfortunately, his plan did not come true, and by the early hours of this morning, he and his army had been completely wiped out. I can't help but say that I still admire the suzhì of your country's soldiers, and in the end, no one surrendered. Alas, it is better to be a broken jade than a complete tile, and it is indeed a model for soldiers, and I am also asking my subordinates to learn from them. ”

That is to say, not a single one of General Stellin himself, along with the 4,000 royal sailors, survived? Ali Guo looked at the executioner he hated, and his eyes were on fire. How is this possible? He knows too well what the British ** people do, for the weak, they have always been giants, once the general trend is gone, there are few people willing to be heroes. When the Qing Dynasty army was rectified in Guangdong, the invincible imperial naval warriors were still beaten by a group of ordinary people in a small Sanyuan.

"This is an unjust war!" Ali Guoshun popped out of his teeth.

"Since it is war, there will never be justice." "God is the most just," said Lin mildly, "and He will call those who have sinned to make amends for what they have done." ”

"What are you going to do with the military and expatriates who lay down their arms here?" Ali Guo touched a cigar, his hands were shaking because of the excitement, and he didn't light the cigarette for a long time.

"I said, the war between us is over," Lin Haifeng lit the pipe in his hand, raised the match again, and motioned to the Indian manservant on the side to go and light a cigarette for his master. Then, with a soft sigh, "Of course, maybe it's only a temporary end." When the Celestial Empire government collects the fines that everyone should pay, everyone will be free. As the property of the British government, the original consulate will be protected and will never be infringed upon by anyone. Military personnel must withdraw from our territorial waters, and expatriates are willing to leave and stay for themselves. The former concession will now be turned into an expatriate area, managed by the Celestial Empire government, and as long as it does not violate the laws of the Celestial Empire, everyone can do what they wanted to do but not finish. ”

"The fines you are talking about are not justified, they are a relentless plunder." Ali Guo's mouth muttered for a long time, and finally hummed this sentence.

"Even if that's what you say, after all, we're only targeting those who have aided thieves, and we won't do it if we've screened those who are not suspected of aiding thieves. In addition, I would like to remind Your Excellency that this war, which should never have happened, was entirely provoked by you. In this war, we have sacrificed a great deal of human, material and financial resources, and according to what your government has always done, should we also be compensated for our losses? As soon as Lin Haifeng stretched out his hand, he said sternly, "Mr. Aliguo, righteous people first correct themselves." I can say unceremoniously that the Celestial Empire's policy towards expatriates is still lenient. If it is replaced by those wealthy businessmen and tycoons in our own country, who dare to help the thief, not to say that it is to plunder his property, we will also unceremoniously plunder his life! No one wants to be reasonable with their enemies. Including you, but also myself. ”

Ali Guo opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.

Lin Haifeng put the pipe in his mouth and took a puff, "It's still the same sentence, now that the war is over, there is no need for everyone to dwell on the previous things." In the long run, for the sake of our respective countries, we should think more about the future. ”

"Future?" Ali Guo shrugged his shoulders, laughed strangely, and took another hard puff on his cigarette, "The contemptible man is your prisoner of war, is there any future to talk about between us?" ”

"Mr. Aliko, you were indeed my prisoner of war until we declared the end of the war. But now, as yourself, please don't forget that you are not only a British citizen, you are also a diplomat, and your actions directly represent the image of the British government. Lin Haifeng said solemnly, "In front of me, you are an official of the British government after all, and I respect you." ”

Ali Guo snorted twice and stopped talking.

"Maybe you'll stay here for a while, maybe you'll get out of here. In any case, as a diplomat, it is your responsibility to listen to my words and convey them to your Government. And don't be too presumptuous, that's not good. Lin Haifeng put his pipe on the tea table beside him and smiled slightly, "I know that Mr. Wen Han, the Governor of Hong Kong appointed by your country and the Minister to the Manchu Dynasty, once sent a letter to your government after inspecting Tianjing at the beginning of last year, and lightly asserted that our Celestial Empire could not replace the Manchu government. Hehe, but what about the facts? It turns out that Mr. Wenham was wrong. You have already seen the strength of the Heavenly Army, and I will not tell you that in addition to the original defenders of Shanghai, we have only mobilized a total of more than 30,000 troops, and even these horses will soon win the victory in the entire battle around Shanghai. Not only that, but I can predict here that within a year, all the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River will be the territory of my Celestial Empire. The Manchu government would eventually be completely overthrown, a historical process that no one could change. ”

Ali Guo's forehead began to sweat earnestly. If he didn't pay attention to these rebels before the concession was captured, from the moment he saw the rebels who really drove from Tianjing, he vaguely felt that he knew too little about these people. He did not go to Tianjing with His Excellency Minister Wen Han, but he carefully read the report later compiled by the attaché of the group that followed His Excellency the Minister. He didn't understand, why did he omit the King An in front of him and the new-style army under him in that supposedly absolutely detailed report?

He once boasted that he was a China expert, and he had a lot of research on this ancient and peculiar country. In such an environment where you cherish the hairstyle on your head and fight to the death in order to "keep braids" and "grow long hair", an army with neither braids nor long hair will emerge, what does this mean? Wen Han, Wen Han, because of your negligence, you not only misled the government, but also caused me to lose face.

"I'll admit that you have the advantage for the time being." Ali Guo looked at the victor in front of him, who didn't seem to be too proud, and adjusted his mentality, yes, he wanted to know more about his opponent, and at least he had to have a summary report to be submitted to Her Majesty the Queen. "According to you, Jiangnan will soon be your government's sphere of influence, so what are your and your government's plans for other ports and Hong Kong?" In fact, as soon as he spoke, he felt that the question was a bit redundant. What else? It's not the same as here, all of them are taken back.

"No privileged concessions are allowed on our land. However, as long as the diaspora at the ports does not repeat the mistakes here, their interests will be protected. As for the Hong Kong issue, we can ignore it for the time being until we have won a final victory for the whole country, because the Celestial Empire Government has given your government sufficient time to consider it. Lin Haifeng picked up his pipe again, "Of course, the premise is that there is no hostility between the two sides, otherwise, even if the Celestial Empire government agrees, I agree, our Celestial Army soldiers and ordinary people will not agree." ”

Ah Liguo fell into deep thought, until Lin Haifeng was gone for a long time, he was still thinking. He even thought that if he went to Beijing now, Emperor Xianfeng in the Forbidden City would definitely offer more and better conditions. He also thought of "repairing the contract", and if it continues to develop like this, even if he repairs the contract, what can he actually get? If you want to get what you want, the best way is to fundamentally bring down this Tianjing government. But can it be done? Now, it seems, maybe it's hard.

Damn Crimea, damn the Russians, if they hadn't held them back, the British Empire would have to educate these uncivilized and arrogant guys with cannons, as it did back then. Alas, it seems a bit far-fetched to say that it is not civilized. I really don't understand what this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is.

Thinking about it, he suddenly thought of Bourblon. Burbulon must have had a deeper understanding of them in Tianjing, otherwise, why did he repeatedly persuade himself and Mashali not to get involved in this civil war lightly after returning? However, why doesn't he say a lot of things directly, and doesn't put everything he really sees in front of everyone? This guy doesn't want to have a good time, does he?
