This prince is really! Fang Jingbo frowned when he saw that Wall actually went out "with" others. When the two countries exchange arms, they should always be polite to the messenger, but this is a bit too much in any case. However, after all, this is the other party's world, but that Wall is so unacquainted.
Not long after, Han Muyue came back with a gloomy Wall. It is more appropriate to say that it is to carry it, it is better to say that it is half supported and half supported, and there is no need to think about it, everyone understands the ending.
"Your Highness, two punches!" Han Muyue smiled and stretched out two fingers.
"Look at it, I said, you can't get three punches." Lin Haifeng held the pipe full of tobacco, but did not light it, "You understand, right?" This is the answer that the Celestial Empire will give you. He glanced at Wall, who was still holding his stomach and had a sad face, and looked at Fang Jingbo, "First, the Shanghai issue is China's internal affair, and other countries have no right to interfere. I am afraid that our confrontation with the Qing army will affect the safety of the concession, so it is better to withdraw all the people from the concession and go to the sea. Second, the treaty you are talking about, this king and the Celestial Empire will not recognize anything, and we will not recognize anything that betrays sovereignty and harms the majesty of our Celestial Empire. Third, the Celestial Empire encourages friendly exchanges between governments and overseas Chinese and trades with our country on an equal footing. Finally, don't want to use force to intervene, we don't need the help of all countries by force, and at the same time, we don't allow countries to help the Manchus, which is very dangerous. Our Celestial Empire is a state of ceremonies, but we are first and foremost a great and noble nation, and we will never allow any contempt. If anyone does not believe this, then wait and see, my heavenly army is an invincible iron army, and she will use her iron fist to teach those who are not capable of teaching it a lesson. To sum up the above complaints, I would like to ask your messenger to convey to the ministers, consuls and gentlemen of various countries in Shanghai that they must not misestimate the shape. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was about to fall, and no one could stop it. ”
Fang Jingbo nodded. From the beginning of accepting this task, he actually hoped to get such an answer, that people live a breath and a tree live a skin, not to mention a large country with tens of thousands of compatriots. However, he knew the strength of the great powers, and was always worried about an outcome that he did not want to see. But he couldn't say.
"War kills, peace is always better. If you don't continue to fight, all countries can ensure that the defenders in Shanghai can safely withdraw to your army's defense area, and at least your army can concentrate its forces and solve the Zhejiang problem first. Shanghai can come back slowly. Fang Jingbo brought up another letter that was not in the letter. This was not something he had come up with, it was Mashali's last idea.
Lin Haifeng smiled, "It looks like a good idea." However, this kind of kindness is unacceptable to us. Hangzhou has been surrounded by our heavenly army, and what we want now is a quiet Shanghai. ”
"But, but ......" Fang Jingbo groaned, looking at Hua Er, who was still standing there, as if he was uncomfortable.
Lin Haifeng didn't seem to see it at all, looked at Fang Jingbo and asked, "Mr. Fang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"I mean, once your army and the countries go to war openly, the trade between the two sides will inevitably be interrupted, which is not necessarily a good thing for your government." Fang Jingbo's words came from his heart, he understood that if this extremely backward country wanted to become strong, it needed help from the outside world.
"Mr. Fang is saying that someone will impose an economic blockade on us, right?" Lin Haifeng smiled faintly, lit the pipe that he had been holding in his hand for a long time, and shook the match that was still burning in his hand, "That's good, the door of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been closed for so long, isn't there still someone in a hurry to open it by force." However, the world needs us, and sooner or later everyone will understand. Just like this match in the king's hand, this is our own thing, hehe, if you are interested, Mr. Fang can verify it in a while, and Baozhun is better than yours. This king put his words in front, and if anyone looks away, he will not be able to find the temple gate when he cries. ”
"Your Excellency King An, as a messenger, I hope that the nations will live in friendship with each other. As a person of Chinese descent, I want this country to be stronger. Fang Jingbo said angrily, and then thought about it again, "There is another personal question, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”
"Say whatever you want." Lin Haifeng leisurely took a puff of the cigarette pouch and pot, smiled and waved his hand, "Now that the business is over, now it's a private chat." Come on, arrange chairs for the gentlemen who are standing. ”
"I was commissioned by a friend to bring a personal letter to His Excellency King An." Fang Jingbo took out the letter that Sang Yu handed him and handed it to Han Muyue.
"Hehe, the handwriting is good, it looks like a woman's handwriting." Lin Haifeng took a cursory glance, handed the letter to Liu Xianghe again, and watched Liu Xianghe go to the back hall, he turned his face to look at Fang Jingbo and shook his head, "This Ms. Sangyu is a little interesting." In that case, Mr. Fang will tell Ms. Sang to discuss this issue when we are in Shanghai. Yes, we are to protect the legitimate interests of merchants, but only if we investigate Angel Comptoir. ”
"Angel Firm has been engaged in normal trade activities between the Zhì area under the control of your army and Shanghai, and, for whatever purpose, Angel Firm has also supported the forces of your government in Shanghai. The other thing is ......" Fang Jingbo smiled and didn't say the rest of the words.
"Of course, it's a good thing to have support for our army," Lin Haifeng nodded, and then changed the conversation, "However, as far as we know, Ms. Sang and the Manchu officials are also in a hot fight. ”
"This ......" Fang Jingbo had nothing to say. At this point, if it is as Kim Neng-hyung imagined, it is simply impossible to use the US government to pressure the other party. He could see that this prince was not afraid of the foreign powers, and seemed to hate them to the core, otherwise there would not have been the previous incident.
Lin Haifeng smiled, "So I said, wait until we check it out." It's not easy to be a businessman, and in order to survive, you may do something that is not out of your heart. If Angel Comptoir hadn't done anything detrimental to my Celestial Empire, I think everything would be easy to discuss. The Celestial Empire is fighting hard for the happiness of the people in the world, and the interests of the common people are naturally to be considered. ”
"Your Excellency said yes." Fang Jingbo nodded repeatedly, and then bowed forward slightly, "That'...... Then are we going to leave? ”
"Don't worry, gentlemen have worked hard all the way, how can this king also fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Taking this opportunity, gentlemen can also take a look at Matsue, the Heavenly Army has only been here for five days, to see how much has changed? Lin Haifeng raised his wrist, looked at the watch on his wrist, and smiled and kept it.
Ah Liguo, Ma Shali, Ai Tang, Jin Nengheng, and the commander of the Chinese fleet of the British Royal Navy, Shi Tailin, gathered at the British Consulate, and after listening to Fang Jingbo's account of the Taiping Army's reply, they all felt a little puzzled anyway. Didn't these rebels think about cooperating with the Great Powers, which would hasten their entire power over? What kind of great and noble Celestial Empire, don't think that with a few weapons smuggled in the past, you can fight with the great powers.
"Gentlemen, it is time to educate them." Stairin looked at his two beautiful hands that he had just trimmed, "The valiant royal sailors will tell them who is more noble." ”
Ali Guo looked at the gentlemanly Stairlin with admiration, and turned his head to Wall, who had been sitting in the corner, and could not speak, "Dear Mr. Wall, you won't bring us something more valuable, will you?" ”
