"I'm cǎo his uncle!"

At the London Peace Conference, Mr. Li Hongzhang, the diplomatic ambassador from the Qing Dynasty, after hearing the name of the place mentioned by the French Foreign Secretary, he directly exploded such a foul language!

"Haha......" In the entire conference room, there was only one person laughing, and that was Huang Sanye.

It should be said that there are a few people in the current conference room who can understand this curse, but among them, there are several from the Qing Mission, and the others are the two ambassadors of the American Empire.

Huang Sanye doesn't care about it, then Liszt always has to maintain some demeanor, but he is actually happy in his heart.

Of course, there are also a lot of translators, but most of the Chinese translators in the West, especially those at this conference, are two knives, and the Qing side also brought translators?

"This ......" is a translation of Li Hongzhang, and Zhang Deyi is a little difficult to do now.

"That's it!" Li Hongzhang could see that Zhang Deyi had scruples, but he had to be so tough.

"That ......"

"Flip!"

Well, Zhang Deyi can't help it, but that's what he said.

"Mr. Lionar, Mr. Li Hongzhang greets your uncle and wishes her good health."

So this reaction ......

"Thank you!" Of course Leonard would have replied like this, how did he know that he was scolding him, and he couldn't listen to it.

"Hahaha......" At this moment, Huang Sanye and Li Szt both laughed.

If you don't laugh, you can't do it, this Zhang Deyi is very smart!

"......" Li Hongzhang also knew in his heart that Zhang Deyi probably didn't directly convey his meaning just now, but he was very smart and pretended not to know, anyway, he couldn't understand French.

In fact. This reflects Li Hongzhang's power. That's it...... Anyway, his men knew his majesty.

But anyway. No matter how you talk about it, in the end, you have to go back to that price, that is, whether Taiwan will be given to France or not!

"Gentlemen, what do you think about this issue? Now the French Empire wants ...... "That Clarendon IV is going to come out to preside over it, but unexpectedly, that Leonard immediately interjected."

"I, THE FRENCH EMPIRE, WENT AROUND MOST OF THE WORLD TO INDIA IN ORDER TO MANIFEST THE WILL OF GOD, BUT NOW THE QING KINGDOM DOES NOT LET US CARRY OUT GOD'S WILL. Then the Qing Kingdom will naturally compensate us for military expenses! This is a lot of money, and I believe everyone has a fair opinion. ”

I have to say, this is definitely bandit logic, no one let you come, but you want money and land now, but...... This group of whites is not very easy to refute, on the one hand, it is the matter of the Qing Kingdom, which has little to do with them, and on the other hand, the French pulled God out, so it is not easy to get it.

"Good!" Clarendon IV simply said this. In fact, he did not express his opinion, he continued: "This is what the French Empire demands. So, envoys of the Qing Empire, do you think such conditions are acceptable? ”

"Of course not!" What else can Li Hongzhang do? He must not cut the ground!

You have to know that the matter of cutting the land is not ordinary, Li Hongzhang knows very well that he will guard this bottom line even if he dies, because ...... Because he doesn't have that right!

Cutting the land is definitely infamous through the ages, and this matter may be dug up by others if the ancestral grave is done, Li Hongzhang naturally knows that this is powerful, but in fact, what he cares about most is because he himself does not have the right to decide. If you want to cut the land, it is absolutely the emperor's majesty, he can do it!

To put it bluntly, even the matter of the ancestral tomb can be put aside, if Li Hongzhang now says that he can give Taiwan to the French, then he will have to be beheaded when he goes back, and even punish the nine clans.

So since the Qing side does not accept it, how can this matter be discussed?

"Mr. Li, do you have any other mentions?" Clarendon IV glanced at Li Hongzhang.

"Don't talk about the matter of cutting the land! However, since the French have come from afar, as the master, I can do my best to be a landlord......" Li Hongzhang's words are very simple.

If the land is not given, we can talk about money!

So......

"Mr. Lionar, do you accept this mention?" Clarendon looked at Lionel again.

"Yes!" Lionel nodded and said.

Hey, this is good, although it is more humiliating to say that the Qing country is more humiliated, because the French have to give them money when they come to the fuck, and they are really aggrieved, but after all, there is no need to cut the land, and it is very good not to lose the land, there is progress.

But what about the price of the French?

"We feel that at least 400 million taels of silver are needed." This is the price code given by Lionar!

"I'm cǎo his uncle!" Li Hongzhang burst into foul language again!

Yes, whoever this matter rests on, everyone will burst into foul language.

These French didn't do anything, they just did Vietnam, and then the Qing Kingdom would pay 400 million taels? Isn't that pure?

In this way, the French are too bad to be a thing, and there is no justice in this international community?

"......" The two envoys of the American Empire didn't laugh this time, because they also felt very fucked up about this matter, and at the same time, they also had an idea in their hearts, that is, the law of the jungle!

Is there an axiom in this world?

It is as if Bismarck said not so long ago that truth is only within the range of cannons. If you are weak, you will be bullied, and there is no reason to talk about it.

Then Li Hongzhang won't agree?

"It's a sky-high price!"

I greeted my uncle's uncle Li Hongzhang again, and he said something useful.

"No, no, it's a reasonable price. The current military consumption of our expeditionary force of the French Empire is indeed so much, which is already close to 200 million gold francs. Lionel gave a faint note.

The current currency is almost like this, because the Qing country is the silver standard, and the current silver is relatively low, and ah, the financial and monetary policies of the Qing country. In fact, it was controlled by the European and American powers. The reason is simple. No one on the Manchu side understood this.

Of course, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that 200 million gold francs are worth it, and it definitely didn't cost that much.

In the current state of the peace conference, the French made a bid, and the Qing people wanted to make a counteroffer, but the French did not agree, so what else could they do?

"It's a big deal, I can't be the master!" Li Hongzhang came up with a scoundrel attitude!

Don't really underestimate this method. It looks a bit of a scoundrel, but this method is the only one Li Hongzhang can use now, and if it happens, it will really have an effect!

Why?

It's very simple, the current news transmission is very slow, and Li Hongzhang can't make a decision, so he has to ask the higher echelons of the Qing Kingdom, so he has to write back and forth, right?

The Manchus didn't have a telegram yet, although they were studying it because they had heard that it was good. And the New Tang Empire is doing very well, so you have to compare with them.

But. The administrative system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty determined that this thing could not be launched soon.

So, how long will this back-and-forth epistle take?

It's going to be half a year smaller at the earliest!

Therefore, Li Hongzhang's hand is very smart, that is, Lao Tzu stays in London, and he will spend it with you!

However, will the French let Li Hongzhang be consumed?

That Leonar smiled and said: "Mr. Li, of course your mention is very good, but General Bazin is still in Vietnam, and I also know that there is a saying in China, which says, 'The general will not be subject to foreign military orders'......"

This is definitely a naked threat, which means that if you don't agree, you will sign the treaty immediately, and then Bazin's side will do something, and the French Empire is not responsible.

In fact, the reason why this peace conference can be held, and we can also discuss the issue of the Qing Kingdom and France, is actually because the current war has not yet burned to the Qing State, Bazin came leisurely, and it was planned from the beginning.

Time is pressing, so what can Li Hongzhang do?

"Then there's no need to talk about it! Don't talk about it! ”

Li Hongzhang flicked his sleeves, and this time he completely made a qiē that an old ruffian should have.

So really don't talk about it?

In fact, Li Hongzhang is waiting, he is waiting for the French to loosen their mouths a little!

Why?

That's 400 million taels of silver, can he Li Hongzhang take it out? Even the current Qing Dynasty can't take it out!

And the most important thing is that he Li Hongzhang does not have this right, if you want to say millions, tens of millions of such numbers, there is still a little room for negotiation, to be honest, he can't decide tens of millions, or millions, without this right, where does he Li Hongzhang dare to make this decision?

You'll die if you go back!

Will the French let their mouth shut?

"......" Lionel didn't say anything, he just looked at Li Hongzhang like that!

yes, why did he let go? Originally, France made territorial claims relative to the Qing State!

"Farewell!" Seeing this situation, no matter how thick-skinned Li Hongzhang is, it is not easy for him to stay in this place.

"Mr. Li!" That Clarendon IV also wanted to stop Li Hongzhang.

But it's ...... Not the slightest change on the part of France!

After Li Hongzhang saw this situation, he also chuckled in his heart, because he really didn't expect that he had exhausted all kinds of tricks, why didn't this Frenchman react at all?

So......

Li Hongzhang himself realized that maybe the Frenchmen didn't have a good heart from the beginning, they may not just be for money, or to vent their anger!

"Fuck! These bastards don't go to the bastards of New Tang! Why did you come to us for Daqing? Li Hongzhang actually had a judgment in his heart, and there was no need to talk about this meeting.

"Gentlemen!" However, the meeting over there was not over yet, and Clarendon had to speak, "It seems that our mediation between the Qing Kingdom and the French Empire has failed. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, but in the eyes of Huang Sanye and Li Szt, they all felt a slight chill......

Axiom? What's that? Can you eat it? (To be continued......)
