After all, Ito Hirobumi is a senior and experienced diplomat, and after the translator conveyed Feng Xianghua's meaning, Ito Hirobumi took advantage of the situation to find a step down

"Good"

Feng Xianghua turned around and entered the conference room without looking back, followed by Ito Hirobumi, who did not want to and did not want to see other Japanese officials being searched by Qing officers and soldiers, in his opinion, this was a great shame for Japan

"Click, click"

Reporters from various countries, including reporters from Daqing Daily, who were waiting outside the conference room, took pictures of this historical moment and a moment of shame for Japan

This is not that the Qing Dynasty deliberately made things difficult or deliberately embarrassed Japan, but it was indeed Japan that took advantage of the opportunity of the negotiations to assassinate the Japanese in the first place, and it is understandable that it is understandable that Japan has not eaten mutton

After the officials of the two sides sat down, the negotiations officially began After a bunch of inconsistency official words, Feng Xianghua first said: "Brother Ito, your country sneaked up on our Qing garrison in Chao Xian and led to a war between the two countries, and the fault lies in your country, which is known to the world, and my brother will no longer reiterate that now both sides have paid a heavy price for the war, and my emperor of the Qing Dynasty is merciful and does not want to let the bloodshed happen again, so he sent his brother and brother here in the hope that the current dispute can be resolved through peace talks."

"This is very good, as long as the Qing State is willing to withdraw its troops from Japan and promise not to invade our Japanese territory in the future, we are also willing to take responsibility for the sneak attack on your ** team by the DPRK and Xian, and are willing to bear the corresponding compensation," Ito Hirobumi said

"Hmm...... In this case, Brother Ito will get straight to the point, how much compensation is your country willing to bear? Feng Xianghua asked directly

Ito Hirobumi thought for a moment and said, "According to your currency, Japan is willing to pay 2 million silver dollars in compensation and recognize the DPRK and Xian as your territory."

"Hahaha, Chao Xian is known all over the world as my Qing territory, why do you need to recognize it in Japan? What's more, what if your country doesn't recognize it? Your country almost completely annihilated more than 7,000 people in a reorganized brigade of our Qing Dynasty, according to the military salary system of our Qing Dynasty, before the monetary reform, an ordinary soldier was 2 taels of silver a month, after the monetary reform, an ordinary soldier was 20 silver dollars a month, and the officer's military salary was 2 million silver dollars, which was not enough for a brigade's military salary for a year. The lives of my Qing soldiers are only worth one year's military salary? Feng Xianghua scoffed

"Uh...... Then General Feng, how much do you need us to compensate? Hirobumi Ito asked awkwardly

Feng Xianghua smiled slightly, didn't answer, stretched out his index finger, and shook a middle finger in front of Ito Hirofumi's eyes

"Twenty million silver dollars? I have to report this to the Emperor of Japan before I can reply to the general: "Although Ito Hirobumi lamented the black heart of the Qing Dynasty, the compensation of 20 million silver dollars is within the acceptable range of Japan, and it would be good if he could choose to repay it in installments."

Feng Xianghua still didn't answer, shook his head slightly, and stretched out his hand in front of Ito Hirofumi and shook it again

"What does General Feng mean ...... 200 million silver dollars? Ito Hirobumi was a little surprised, he dared to open such a high compensation

Feng Xianghua stretched out his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Does your country treat me as a begging for food?" 11 of our Qing warships were sunk and 7 were seriously injured by your country, don't you need money for this? My hundreds of thousands of troops have been in your country for the past few months to help maintain law and order, shouldn't these travel expenses be borne by your country? I, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, am lenient, and only charge you 2 billion silver dollars is not much? ”

"What?? General Feng is not joking, 2 billion silver dollars?? Japan's annual revenue is only 700 million silver dollars, and now the post-war income will definitely be much less," Ito asked in surprise

"Brother Ito is a noble man who forgets things, didn't my Qing Dynasty Li Hongzhang Li mention this condition to my brother before, didn't my brother say that he wanted to go back and ask your emperor for instructions, why can't he do it now?" Feng Xianghua said sarcastically

......The previous peace talks were mainly about assassination, and as for what conditions Li Hongzhang put forward, Ito Hirobumi didn't listen to them at all, or he didn't care at all, and this time those who came to the peace talks sincerely had to ask carefully

"Brother Ito doesn't have to reply to me in such a hurry, you can go back and discuss with your emperor, after all, it will not be good for you to fight any longer, when the time comes, if I lose some more troops in the Qing Dynasty, the indemnity will be increased, after all, after the sacrifice of the soldiers, I will also give the families of the martyrs a certain amount of pension, this cost is of course borne by your country, and your country also has to pay for ammunition, arms and other expenses, there is no need at all, it is not good for both sides to end the war early? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and my soldiers of the Qing Dynasty don't want to celebrate the New Year in Japan," Feng Xianghua continued

Ito Hirofumi carefully recalled Feng Xianghua's words, and also thought about what the outcome would be if the war continued

"In addition, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty graciously agreed that your country can be repaid in five years without any interest, but you need to use your country's customs duties and Nagasaki as collateral, and after five years, the indemnity will be paid off, and I will pay it back in the Qing Dynasty," Feng Xianghua continued

"What? Tariffs as collateral?? Does Japan still have autonomy in setting tariffs? Ito was furious

"Hehe, Brother Ito, don't be excited, tariffs, of course, your country has no autonomy during the mortgage period, the setting of tariffs is up to me, of course, I will collect the taxes directly, and if the repayment is insufficient in one year, your country will make up the balance," Feng Xianghua said unhurriedly

"Is that all?" Ito Hirobumi feels like a fish on the chopping block, this is not a negotiation at all but a unilateral coercive agreement, because he has no way to refute or refuse, because the result of the continuation of the war is likely to be the destruction of the country and the destruction of the whole of Japan, and the whole of Japan may become the territory of the Qing Dynasty, this kind of thing has not happened before, look at Vietnam, Burma, and Chao Xian to know the means of the Qing Dynasty

"Of course, if your country's standing army exceeds 200,000 or the total tonnage of naval warships exceeds 50,000 tons, you must apply to our Daqing Dynasty, and your country's financial revenue in recent years needs to repay our Daqing debts, and all military expenditures must be reduced

"Thank you Feng Xiangjun for reminding me, I will report to the emperor of my country with these conditions, and give you an answer as soon as possible," Ito Hirofumi got up and wanted to leave

"Brother Ito stays, and my brother has a good word to persuade him," Feng Xianghua said as he sat on his seat

"General Feng, please speak," Ito Hirobumi said, turning his back to Feng Xianghua

"I believe that Britain will definitely urge your country to repay the military spending owed to Britain, including loans, but the Qing Dynasty, as the first creditor of your country, can help your country solve this cost, otherwise, with the means of the British, I believe that many parts of your country will be forcibly leased by the British," Feng Xianghua continued to tempt

"Thank you General Feng and your country for your kindness, I will consider it carefully" Ito Hirofumi walked out directly with a blue face
