The coastal area of Jinkou is building a lot of construction, and it is also in the eyes of Wen Xian and Yilu and others, and now the Qing Kingdom has no one in their eyes, presumably the war in the northwest will surprise the Qing Dynasty, right?

The Western world does not know much about the Far East, but the Western world also has elites who have studied the situation in the Far East, starting with Marco Polo, elites like the West have also been paying attention to the Far East, to the declining empires like the Qing Dynasty.

The weakness of the Qing court is the civil strife, especially the civil strife in the northwest, this time the British and Russian plans in the northwest have been supported by the local people of the Qing country, and there are quite a few of them, once the Central Asian forces invade the Qing country and establish a state in the northwest of the Qing country, presumably the emperor of the Qing country will not sit idly by.

Once the Qing State is busy quelling the chaos in the northwest, then the Anglo-French alliance will have a chance to retreat, and if the time is right, maybe they can destroy the Qing State in one fell swoop!

In the past 20 years, the army of the Qing State has made great progress, but the people and horses in Central Asia also have a lot of advanced firearms, and the army of the Qing State Beijing Division is elite, I am afraid that the army in the northwest is not so elite. Is it the construction of tombs?

Now for the withdrawal of France, the people in England can only sigh, they missed this opportunity in the Far East, cheap Tsarist Russia, with the support of the wealth of the Qing State, I am afraid that Tsarist Russia will rise soon, in order to contain Tsarist Russia, it is best to draw Tsarist Russia into the war situation in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty.

Some people think that they should take the opportunity to destroy the Qing State to take revenge, but most people think that the Qing State should be given a fair chance to fight a fair duel with Tsarist Russia. This is not only good for England. Balance of power against Europe. It also has a great propulsive effect.

After Crimea, Tsarist Russia will fight with the Qing State again, so that England is likely to have the opportunity to annex the two together, and Europe without Tsarist Russia may be cleaner, right?

Just when the English people wanted to think about the west, Yang Meng had already completed the planning of the Royal Academy of Sciences. The area is too large, so that the Royal Academy of Sciences has also become a huge project, although for the progress of the project to simplify a lot of things, but the budget given by Western engineers is still more than 10 million taels of silver, the approximate cost should be between 12 million and 15 million.

For such an expense, Yang Meng did not frown, and immediately agreed, the wood of Millican, the local bricks and stones of the Qing Dynasty. The cement over there in Guangzhou, in order to facilitate transportation. Yang Meng also desilted and deepened a tributary of the Haihe River, so that the site had its own canal.

500,000 people, two years must be completed, this is the construction period set by Yang Meng, and the research of the Royal Academy of Sciences cannot be terminated because of the project.

In this way, in front of the British navy, a large number of Millican merchants went ashore to talk with the Yang family about business, I am afraid that in the next few months, in addition to the ships of the British and French alliances, there will be many more merchant ships of Millican and the Qing Dynasty.

Yang Meng couldn't guess the thoughts of the British people, but he knew that in the near future, Tsarist Russia would inevitably be instigated by England to participate in the war, once Tsarist Russia entered the war, Yang Meng would let Britain, France, Russia and even all countries in the world know how strong the Qing Dynasty was, and the real rise of the footsteps, the first step started from the northwest, and when this step fell, whether it was the Qing Dynasty or the Tsarist Russia, the price paid was a sea of corpses and blood.

The work of the Royal Academy of Sciences continued, and Andre, who had come and gone in a hurry, returned to Beitang, but he brought the fleet, but stayed in front of the construction site of the Royal Academy of Sciences, where the English fleet could not reach.

In the Dragon Temple near Beitang, Yang Meng faced the French negotiating team alone, and perhaps in a few days, the Anglo-French alliance would become the Anglo-Russian alliance.

"Andrey, my friend, what is your reply? Peace or War? ”

Although this partner of the Qing Kingdom had a smile on his face, Andrei still felt arrogance and superiority from him, is this the so-called looking down? Never before had France been so quiet in the face of the colonies.

"We choose peace, but our indemnity is only three million francs, and a small part of the artefacts!"

Defeat has always been shameful, although it is for the benefit of France, but in the face of General Yang back then, Andre's heart is not good!

"Andrey, are you kidding? What do you say about the abrogation? The reparations are too small! The French army was a direct participant in the burning of the five major gardens, so did they really want to go to war? ”

Yang Meng is acceptable to such conditions, after all, the Qing Dynasty is going to war with Tsarist Russia next, and it is unwise to have more enemies of France on land, Yang Meng doesn't want to fight Tsarist Russia by himself, Europe is hugged, but the interests are like water in a sponge, squeezing will be there, let France go lightly, I'm afraid they don't have a long memory!

"To annul the treaty, you can only sign the treaty in private, you can put forward some other conditions, a large amount of compensation, it is impossible!"

Today's France really has no money, in order to consolidate his position, the emperor is also building a lot of construction in the country, the government is not only in deficit, but also bears a large amount of debt, although 10 million francs is not much for France, but such a loss, France is not willing to pay.

"No money! Then give it to it! 1,000 mechanics in machinery, 1,000 in shipbuilding, 1,000 in glass, 1,000 in railroads, 1,000 in mining and beneficiation, 5,000 people for 7 million francs, 1000 years for the Qing Dynasty! ”

During the Qianlong Dynasty, in order to make materials, which are the so-called glassware, Emperor Qianlong asked France to produce talents in this area, which has a precedent, but Yang Meng wants more people.

"This ......"

Other Andrei could agree, but previously it was impossible to have a high-level mechanic in shipbuilding, and a mechanic in shipbuilding, who was also talented in Europe, a thousand people, enough to build several shipyards.

"Of course, these people don't have to be French, André. We also have cooperation in the shipyards of the five countries. This time, we negotiated a separate peace with France. There are also reasons for this.

We have no hostility towards the Western world, and this war was completely provoked by you, Britain and France, and the conditions for peace negotiation have been reduced to a minimum in view of our personal relations, and if you do not agree to such conditions, the peace talks between us will not be able to continue.

Feel relieved. We will give you enough time to gather manpower, there are many small countries in Europe, many talents in this area can be hired in this area, and we will not treat these people as slaves, five times the salary of Europe, the round-trip travel expenses, free food and accommodation during the Qing Dynasty, we can provide. ”

In another month or two, Tsarist Russia will intervene in the war, and Yang Meng has no heart to force France to die. Some are almost as good as five thousand mechanics even if the French are mixed with sand. There's got to be some, right?

After listening to Yang Meng's conditions, Andre's expression also eased a lot, it is still possible to do this matter if it is not a French technician, and as for the so-called travel expenses, France does not care about such a small amount of money.

After discussing with the negotiators, everyone also felt that it was feasible and that a formal contract should be signed.

Comparing the contract and the previous contract with the Inchin, the two sides signed the contract quickly, after all, defeat was not a glorious thing for France.

"Lord Duke, our personnel ......"

"Give them the order to disarm and leave the camp of the coalition forces, and naturally someone will send them out.

When disarming, don't discount it, it's better not to have a lot of French weapons in the coalition camp, otherwise, even if the contract is signed, our side will retaliate! ”

National revenge, is what Yang Meng wants to emphasize at home and abroad, foreign people have violated the interests of the Qing Dynasty, then the Qing Dynasty will retaliate, domestic people have violated the law, hurt people who should not be harmed, the state will take revenge on behalf of the injured people who have violated the law, killing people to pay off debts and pay money, is the basis of the law, of course, since it comes to revenge, this cost is also multiplied.

"Yes!"

"Wait in Beitang! Your military order has arrived, and in three or five days, your men will be withdrawn. ”

Now time waits for no one, it is right to take France out of this war, otherwise there will be a war against Tsarist Russia in the future, and France will also participate in the war because of the situation, after several contacts, Yang Meng also thinks that France's army is extremely good, and it is quite unwise to establish a country that can mobilize hundreds of thousands of elite troops on the European continent at this time.

France moved quickly, because France still had a McMahon on the front line, and with the guidance of the general, the French army broke away from the camp of the British and French forces in Zhangjiawan and Beitang in a day's work, and then disarmed.

Yang Meng, a soldier of the French army, did not have any merciful means, and after stripping them off, they were all sent to the sea near the construction site of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and it was also a fortune to strip them away, muskets were worth a few dollars, and muskets were in short supply in the northwest! As for the other equipment of the French army, it is not useless at all, and maybe it will play an unexpected role in the battlefield of Tsarist Russia in the future!

If the equipment of nearly 30,000 French troops appeared on the battlefield of Tsarist Russia, I don't know what the Tsar would think in secret.

When the prisoners of war were repatriated, Yang Meng was also present, this feeling was wonderful, looking at the miserable French soldiers, my heart was ironed!

"André, those who know the times are handsome, and in the near future, France will know how wise this choice is!

You'd better satisfy the number of mechanics we've agreed upon, or the war will likely spread in the future!" ”

There is no so-called goodbye, at this time, this is not suitable for shaking the commotion, thinking about the mood of the French army is extremely unsmooth, Yang Meng is not very good at doing things with a hot face and a cold ass.

"Why don't you annihilate us?"

French Army General McMahon, who was wrapped in a sailor suit, asked angrily, he was stripped naked and sent home, and his military career was about to end.

"It's not that I don't want to kill! Lao Tzu always wants to kill you, but killing you is not in line with the interests of the Qing Dynasty, for the sake of the interests of the 40,000 people behind Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu decided to endure it.

I hope we won't encounter it on the battlefield in the future, if it is possible, Lao Tzu still wants to kill you all! ”

Regarding McMahon's question, Yang Meng also answered truthfully, not that he didn't want to kill but that he couldn't kill, maybe there would be a chance to kill him in the future!

Maybe you won't have to do it with Yang Meng in the future! Now in Europe, a strong enemy of France is rising, after listening to McMahon's words, Yang Meng is considering whether Germany and France are the same race, if not, it is also a good scenery to engage in genocide over there at that time.

"Interests?"

After listening to the translation, McMahon was also a little stunned, it seems that this Qing country is not like a legend, based on the emperor's meaning as the criterion.

"That's right! It is the interests, the army is the country, and it must serve the interests of the people of the country, maybe after a few years, you will understand, compared with killing you, the interests sought by the Qing Dynasty are much greater.

In the face of such interests, Lao Tzu disdains to slaughter you, go back! Take a good look at how the Qing Dynasty rose in the sea of blood, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are no worse than any country in Europe!

Hope not to see you again! After all, seeing a soldier like you means that Lao Tzu's men and horses are going to pick up the butcher's knife again! (To be continued......)
