Chapter 846: I knew that I regretted it today
The local order is to get out of this war as much as possible, and the local will not give anything to Yilu's side, and some things can only be figured out by Yilu and others.
The tone of the negotiations was constrained by the mainland, and it was impossible to continue the war, and now that they wanted to withdraw from the battlefield in the Far East unscathed, the Yilu side could only cede a part of its interests.
Negotiations, there is no result at all, the abolition of the contract, the law of righteousness can be agreed, but the focus of the Qing State is on the indemnity, the indemnity of 700 million pounds is an unacceptable amount for the empire, it seems that we have to continue to test the bottom line of the Qing State!
Yang Meng didn't have to wait long, and after less than an hour of discussion, Yilu reappeared at the negotiating table.
"Lord Duke, an order has been issued from the empire itself, ordering that the British army must withdraw from the battlefield, and the mainland will not pay compensation, we can only agree to some of your requests under the existing conditions!"
To tell the truth, it takes a certain amount of pressure, and the army is safely withdrawn, Yilu has no bargaining chips in his hands at all, and the local order cannot be refused, and now he can only let the Qing side open conditions.
"How nice it would have been to say that earlier! The entire fleet of England remains, the indemnity is one billion, and Lao Tzu will let you leave safely! ”
The sky-high asking price is to pay back the money on the spot, with the warships, the number of two hundred is enough to make Yang Meng's appetite greater, with these ships, Yang Meng can build a batch of ironclad ships in a short time, even if today's ironclad ships have many flaws, but scaring people, it is still barely possible!
"It can't be! Reparations are not possible! We can keep thirty ships, and the rest will need to transport the army back to the mainland! Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to answer! ”
A part of the warships was left behind. The law of righteousness is acceptable. But reparations are absolutely impossible. The Qing State has an indemnity of one billion taels of silver, and I am afraid that Tsarist Russia will not be far from defeat, which is a condition that the mainland cannot agree to.
"So be it! Let's each give one more step, a hundred warships, 500 million indemnities, mining priority in the English colonies! Such conditions cannot be lower than they are already low, if they do not agree. There's no need for us to talk about it anymore, just go to war! ”
The situation was as Xu Ziwei had guessed, and England's desire to withdraw its troops was extremely earnest, so that the ships in the Jinkou barrage and the overseas mining priority could be easily obtained.
"Mining priority, what does that say?"
Yilu is also a little confused, overseas mining, the cost is not small. Except for precious minerals such as gold, silver and diamonds, other mineral deposits are not worth exploiting. The long-distance transportation of coal and iron by sea ship is more than worth the loss!
"The main thing is the mining priority of coal, iron and copper, after all, the Wuguo shipyard in Guangzhou needs these, such conditions are already extremely relaxed, if you don't agree, we really have nothing to talk about!"
The pressure still has to be given, as soon as the guise of the shipyards of the five countries came out, Yilu also had some suddenness, as long as England got a chance to breathe, it was not a matter of a word to abolish the treaty, rather than giving something substantial, it was better to sign some treaties that had no practical meaning.
"We're going to go back and discuss this condition, how about half a month?"
"Yes! Go ahead! ”
For Yilu's request, Yang Meng also nodded and agreed, the pole is not a sale, although this transaction is at the door, it is also necessary to pay attention to a you and me, Yilu is also a familiar figure, the first contract of the Qing Dynasty came from him, let him suffer in the contract, it is also a kind of revenge, isn't it?
"Thank you Lord for your understanding!"
"It's not a question of understanding or not, think back then, when the Jiangning Treaty was signed, how high-spirited you were in righteousness?
And now? In the land of the Qing Dynasty, you need Lao Tzu to nod whether you kneel or not, the Qing Dynasty lost power and humiliated the country, and then it will be your British Empire that will lose power and humiliate the country.
For your British Empire, Lao Tzu has hatred in his heart, don't give Lao Tzu a chance to start a war of annihilation, don't slaughter civilians, that's your European problem.
The Tatar iron horsemen you have been worried about back then, killing people back then could not be wheeled, Lao Tzu killed people regardless of men and women, young and old, as long as people are enemies, no one can not kill!
Perhaps this war between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia is a wake-up call, right? If you have interests with Lao Tzu again, beware of being raided and destroyed!
Let's go back! ”
With a slight wave of his hand, Yilu bowed and retreated, this feeling is very good, there is no one outside the Qing Dynasty, this is Yang Meng's true thoughts, Yang Meng did not treat the population of Europe and the United States as people from the beginning, how many kills and how many deaths have nothing to do with him.
Confucianism? Is that really the case? When Confucianism expanded to the outside world, God knows how xenophobic this Confucianism was, and the hearts of non-our race would be different, which came from the mouth of Confucian scholars!
There are some things, what Yang Meng has to do is just a push, and the final madness of the Qing Dynasty may be a flash in the pan of Confucianism, right? After several years, Confucianism is still the image of a humble gentleman.
Yilu is gone, Yang Meng will not be idle, the warships on the sea, it is impossible for England to let go, and now the only thing that can plot is the more than 100 warships and merchant ships in the Dagukou barrage, and England will not take any benefits outside of this.
"Let Wei Huozi come to see Lao Tzu!"
The escort of the peace talks was personally led by Wei Huozi, and the task of intercepting the English fleet was handed over to him by Yang Meng.
"Third Master!"
"Hmmm! What was the morale of the new army up and down during this time? ”
"Not bad! Not worse than the people and horses of Yunnan? ”
"How dare you say it! Select a group of people to come down, build wharves and railways in the area of Beijing and Tianjin, the elite of the four major militia groups, three months later, go to Mongolia and the three eastern provinces, recruit troops and expand the camp in the local area, what is the demand, directly report! ”
"Third master, is this battle over? The Anglo-Russian coalition forces in Beitang are they killing or releasing them? ”
In connection with today's peace talks with England, Wei Huozi is also a little unwilling in his heart, he has ninety-nine worships, why is this last trembling?
"Let the British army leave, kill the old man! Give you five days to build an artillery array at the mouth of Dagu and block the English warships in the sand. Not a single one is allowed to be released!
The battle is in the north. It's a flesh slaughterhouse. Don't say anything like you want to fight, when you get to the north, in the next four or five years, there will always be a day when you will fight enough! ”
Let the British army leave, Yang Meng was also a little unwilling, the defeat of the Qing Dynasty and the decline of China, the root cause was in the Qing Dynasty and the English side. However, the situation is so unavoidable!
Compared with England, Tsarist Russia is a lucky one, the decline of Tsarist Russia is only on the war, and Yang Meng's revenge on England began as early as ten years ago, cloud smoke This thing, at least will poison England, France, and Millican for dozens of hundreds of years, and the consequences caused by this are unbearable for any country.
Recent. Yang Meng is going to send out the formula of Yunyan, when all countries in the world know what the raw materials of Yunyan are. Presumably, it was impossible to sell cloud smoke on a large scale in those days.
Yang Meng didn't know how many casualties Yunyan could bring, but he knew that this matter would be scolded in the future, no matter who was responsible, it was irrefutable that this Qing Dynasty was the origin of Yunyan.
Thinking of this, the depression in Yang Meng's heart was also much lighter, it was not good to see people, maybe it was a matter of strength, but an enemy like Yingli made him good? It's Yang Meng who is stupid!
Wei Huozi's actions also attracted the attention of the British side, and now the Russian mercenaries led by Mikhail have been brought to the land of Beitang, and at this time, the British must also guard against the bad of Tsarist Russia.
Looking at the fort hastily established at the mouth of Dagu, Yilu and the others also knew that these more than 100 ships were going to come back, and after removing the personnel left on the ships, Ying Jili also put on a posture of abandoning these more than 100 ships.
This time in the Far East, not to mention the loss of manpower, the ships alone, England lost more than 200 ships, such a loss, even the world's largest naval power is difficult to bear, although most of these ships are merchant ships, but merchant ships are also ships!
With full of unwillingness, watching the Qing army trap the fleet at Dagukou, the British army was also in a gloomy fog. The Tsarist Russians in Beitang also faintly felt that something was wrong, but in this operation, few Russian warships were involved, and if they wanted to withdraw from the Qing Dynasty, a land of right and wrong, the Tsarist Russian mercenaries did not have such a ability at all.
Withdrawing troops by land may be an option, but today's Russian mercenaries are already at the end of the road, even if they are not blocked, how many days can these tens of thousands of Russian mercenaries hold out without supplies?
Different from the gloomy clouds and mist of the Anglo-Russian coalition army, Yang Meng's side is Yingge Yan Dance, his results during this time are also good, more than forty Mongolian women, half of them are pregnant, Yang Meng also admires himself a little, fifteen years later, even if the Mongolian kings built a country on the land of Tsarist Russia, their heirs are also the blood of the Yang family.
Invade the subject country with blood, this method, Yang Meng learned from Europe, the so-called a strip of water, the so-called blood is thicker than water, even if European countries fight to the death, there is no such thing as destroying the country and destroying the nation, but Asia is different, with this relationship, even if someone instigates it in the future, the relationship between China and the subject country will not be too tense.
Money power is also something that can be inherited, as long as the main branch of China is not destroyed, whether it is the Southeast Peninsula, Central Asia, the North or the Korean little Japan, will be firmly tied to the tributary system, with the advancement of time, this is the future war buffer zone.
With his own big changes, what will the pattern of the world look like, Yang Meng can't say it anymore, World War I, World War II, or World War III, World War IV will not happen, and protecting yourself is the most fundamental.
The time for peace talks soon came, and as Xu Ziwei had predicted before, England had given up the fleet at Dagukou and signed a treaty on mining priority, and on the issue of reparations, Yilu was quite tough, and there was no possibility of compromise.
The war, and the peace can start again, but the benefits are gone, next time there may not be, ironclad ships, it is necessary to develop, wooden-hulled ironclad ships, better defense, and with these sail ships as a blueprint, the speed of building ironclad ships in Guangzhou will be much faster, now Yang Meng wants time and speed, as for the rest, postpone it.
There was no longer a threat to the British side, Yang Meng happily agreed to these conditions, but after these were done, the English wanted to leave safely, and there was still one obstacle, that is, the Russian mercenaries.
At this time, England abandoned Tsarist Russia, and without thinking too much, you can know what the future of Tsarist Russian mercenaries will be? If Mikhail can let the British army go, then it will be a hell of a thing! Leaving the British army, the Russian mercenaries had hope of living, let go of the British army, and the only thing waiting for the Russian mercenaries was slaughter!
"The Tsarist Russian mercenaries in Beitang, you and I will solve it together, and as a reward, the main guns on the English battleship will be dismantled as the military expenses for this dispatch!"
"It can't be!"
"Why bother with today? Now there are only two options for England to go, first, you solve the Russian mercenaries by yourself, and second, let's solve them together.
You are right, without the more than 100 ships blocking the river sand, you will not be able to transport away the Anglo-Russian coalition forces at all, whether to leave the British army or the Russian army, you decide for yourself! ”
Looking at Yilu's angry appearance, Yang Meng was indescribably happy, this is right! This should be the history inherited by future generations, not humiliation! (To be continued......)
