"Rather than compromises in the future, it is better to retreat now, Minister Pashali, for your attainments in Chinese studies, the main hall still admires, a foreigner, can study Chinese culture so deliberately, it is commendable!

However, Lao Tzu will still not agree to your conditions!

Coerce? I'm afraid you've found the wrong person! If you want to blackmail Lao Tzu, you will blind your dog's eyes!

Now at this negotiation table, there are only the three of us, it should belong to the secret talks in the early stage, to be honest, the conditions and reasons you put forward are acceptable to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

I have a large land and a large population, for the inheritance of the empire, the emperor can accept a qiē condition, your goal this time is very good, caught our soft underbelly, admire! ”

The words of coercion have been said, and it is time to turn his face and deny people, Yang Meng said a lot of rude words, but this is a good thing in the eyes of Ergin and Pashali, especially when Yang Meng admits that the British are clever, the corners of Pashali's mouth are about to grin to the root of his ears.

The weakening of the Qing State was expected by the British government, but the original Baoling and Pa Xia Li were bluffed by Yang Meng, and a series of means after Yang Meng arrived in Guangzhou, the two of them were a little caught off guard, and the two of them who were anxious made mistakes again and again, and were slowly dominated by Yang Meng.

After the defeat of Humen and the defection of Bao Ling with money, England also strengthened its control over the Far East, and the arrival of the Canadian Governor General Ergin was one of the forms of the table.

Yang Meng is above the wedding banquet. The strength shown to Ergin and others. In fact, it is also a manifestation of weakness. For the Qing state, sophisticated European firearms, which should be equipped with troops in a timely manner, were not prepared in time, but were stored in warehouses, and there are only two explanations:

First, the Qing army did not have any gaps in firearms, but this article is obviously not valid. According to intelligence reactions, the civil war of the Qing army in Jiangnan and other places was still dominated by cold weapons.

This second explanation is what England is looking forward to, that is, the Qing State did not have the financial resources to equip a large number of sophisticated firearms, and the equipment of firearms is very simple, and the cost is not very much, and the most important thing is to consume, a large number of equipped firearms. The requirements for logistics are quite high, the soldiers of the front line. It was impossible to carry too much ammunition, and to ensure the supply of ammunition and the power of firearms, the Qing State lacked an industrial base.

Not only does it cost money to equip firearms, but it also takes more money to ensure logistics and ensure these sophisticated European firearms.

The means of dealing with the colonies, after a long period of accumulation, the British Empire has been extremely detailed, and this Yang Butang has taken the lead before, Pasha Li is responsible, but Bao Ling's responsibility is greater, thinking that when he was deflated before, he looked at Yang Butang with a depressed face, and Pa Xiali's heart was very happy.

"But! As long as Lao Tzu is here, don't think about achieving your dirty ideas!

You England want to learn from the means of dealing with India to deal with the Qing Dynasty, and the headquarters is exactly what you want!

Now the financial resources of Jiangnan are in the hands of the main department, and you attacked Jinkou, which happened to fulfill the intention of the headquarters, speaking of India, presumably the Mughal emperor back then, just like the emperor of the Qing Dynasty today, right?

But England's pace in India is not smooth, why? That is the counterattack of the princes and tribal leaders of India, once you attack Jinkou, plus the Taiping army in the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed, without the Qing Dynasty, the previous Qiē treaty will be nullified, that is what Lao Tzu can't ask for!

Perhaps you think that the Qing Dynasty did not have the national strength to support the Great War, but did you have the national strength to support the Far East War?

Large-scale war, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do so in the near future!

Once you endanger the imperial court, Lao Tzu will issue the guns of Guangzhou to the civilians of the five major commercial ports, and you have an advantage in naval battles, but what about land battles?

When the time comes, if Lao Tzu provokes a little, there will be no way for the English people to live in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and the law will have no effect on a chaotic country!

You think that the navy can threaten the country of my Qing Dynasty and the national strength of my Qing Dynasty, but in fact, barbarians like you can imagine? You didn't come, my Qing Dynasty is not a self-sufficient country?

After killing the foreigners, Lao Tzu sunk the ship to block all the outlets of the Qing Dynasty, can you help Lao Tzu?

Hum! It's just wishful thinking, to be honest, the Qing Dynasty doesn't need to do business with you, after blocking all the outlets to the sea, it will have little impact on the Qing Dynasty, but it will have a great impact on you, play this you are tender!

Pa Xiali, I have a few words in the Qing Dynasty, can you think about it after you go back? The fish are dead, the net is broken, the jade is burned, and they are all gone!

Today you have beaten us, and in the coming day Lao Tzu will turn all the men in England into slaves in the mines, and if the women are still on our side, Lao Tzu will turn them into prostitutes! ”

Without waiting for the smile on Pashali's face to rise, Yang Meng's words made Pashali's face gloomy, national policy needs reason to implement, and a madman in power is not only for their own people, but also for England, it is also a big disaster!

Yang Butang's words, although he is still strong on the outside and strong on the inside, but there are too many absurd things in the Qing Kingdom, and Yang Butang's statement is not impossible.

After a few months of study, Ergin had a deeper understanding of the colonial policy, and for the colony, the most terrible thing was the frenzied resistance.

Once there was no room for compromise between the British Empire and the Qing State, to be honest, the impact on the interests of the empire was also huge.

"Isn't there something we're doing in a hurry?"

The Yang Butang in front of him, Erjin also has a high evaluation of him, a shrewd entrepreneur, a clever diplomat, and an elite military strategist, in the face of such an opponent, Erjin is also under pressure.

Since Yang Butang took office, the situation in the Far East of the empire has taken a sharp turn for the worse. A high-level delegation sent by the Empire. For this Yang Butang's evaluation. It's also ridiculously high, the Napoleon of the East, the pressure is huge!

"Should it be a bluff?"

Saying this, Pashali's confidence is not very sufficient, China is only a China expert among the English, he wants to really find out Yang Meng's mind, and there is inevitably less to learn.

"What if it's true?"

At the negotiating table. It's mostly a lie, but what if it's true? The Qing State collapsed, and the Qing State hated the British Empire from top to bottom, and once the result was the same as what this Yang Butang said, the loss of the empire would be heavy.

"This ......"

Pa Xiali's ability is also limited, if he really has the ability, he will not be the minister of Guangzhou.

"Humph! Sue him that once what he said comes true, the entire Qing State will face the retaliation of the Empire, and the Empire will indeed not have the ability to capture the entire Qing State in the short term.

But. We can agitate Tsarist Russia in the north and Milican in the east. The European countries have jointly carved up the Qing country, and when the time comes, how can he resist in the face of the world's offensive? ”

In order to prepare for this negotiation, Erjin and the Imperial High Staff Group spent several months, and they had a lot of countermeasures against the Qing State, and yesterday's Humen artillery battle was just to confirm something!

"Yang Butang, even if your statement comes true, the empire is not without the means to deal with it, and at that time, we will encourage the Qing country to be carved up by the northern Oros, the eastern Millican, and the European countries to divide the Qing kingdom together.

At that time, what other means do you have to deal with it, Yang Butang? ”

The exchange between Ergin and Pashali, Yang Meng heard it clearly, but these were just wishful thinking on the part of England, Tsarist Russia was unable to fight again, Milican was subject to the domestic political situation, and secondly, he was subject to businessmen like Mires, unlike England, Yang Meng's cooperation with Milican merchants was extremely deep, and the loss was immeasurable for Milican merchants to abandon such interests.

In the Humen artillery battle, although Yang Meng's confidence was greatly lost, he still had a killer weapon that he hadn't released! That is, the ten ironclad ships moored in the Guangzhou shipyard, fighting in the open sea, Yang Meng does not know how powerful the ironclad ships are, but in offshore operations, the ironclad ships with an advantage in speed and are not affected by the weather still have an absolute advantage in the face of the sail warships deployed on Hong Kong Island by the British.

England is not without steam ironclads, but subject to fuel and range, most of the steam ironclads in England are deployed in Europe, and there is no opponent in the short term, as long as there is another year or two, Yang Meng can build dozens more ironclad ships, and it is not yet known who will die by that time!

And unlike the English ironclad ships, Yang Meng's ironclad ships use deck guns, and the gunwales need to be adjusted in angle, and they are subject to the structure of the deck and the number of guns, and the caliber of the gunwales cannot be too large.

And Yang Meng's own ironclad ship is equipped with a ten-ton deck cannon, such a cannon, a cannon can bury a battleship, of course, this cannon is also quite limited, the position of the hit is very important, in a real naval battle, maybe a dozen guns, dozens of guns can sink a battleship.

270 degrees of rotation, within the range of 270 degrees, the ironclad ship can open fire at any time, chase and go head-to-head, such deck guns have an absolute advantage, the world's first navy, is heading to the grave, the British Empire's arrogant time is running out!

And after the Humen artillery battle, Yang Meng also had a means to deal with the warships at sea, in addition to mines, he also thought of torpedoes, even if this thing can't be made, he can let people drive small boats to catch fire. Medicine to ram the British fleet, he himself and Pasha Li have this opinion, the population of the Qing Dynasty is extremely large, 40,000 people, how can you find hundreds of thousands of people who are not afraid of death and can sail a ship, Yang Meng can gather hundreds of thousands of death squads, but I don't know if England has hundreds of thousands of warships?

"Don't talk nonsense, let's fight! Fight, from today you can officially declare war on the Qing Dynasty, after the declaration of war, the docks in Guangzhou and the concession in Shanghai will face the attack of the Qing army!

As long as there is a war, the Jiangning Treaty between our two countries will be null and void, and at that time, the laws of the Qing Kingdom will not only not protect the English merchants, but the headquarters will also issue a reward, fifty taels of silver for the head of an Englishman, see who can afford to die in our two countries! ”

Threat or something, Yang Meng really didn't see it, it was nothing more than that there was going to be a war between the two countries, but the scale of the current war was not as big as Yang Meng imagined, as long as the scale of the war was enough, Yang Meng would not hide the ironclad ship.

"You will pay for your arrogance!"

Ergin's roar, after Pasha Li's explanation, also suddenly erupted, this Yang Butang was too rude to threaten the empire with the lives of civilians, which was absolutely unbearable for the Absolute Empire.

"The price? The cost of war is so great that I am afraid that you and I cannot imagine, you want to fight whatever you want! Lao Tzu is waiting for you! ”

Yang Meng's attitude is still tough, and sometimes, if you don't need a fig leaf, blowing your beard and glaring is not a means of negotiation.

There is no need for Pa Xia Li's translation, although Yang Meng's Eagle language is not very authentic, but Erjin and Pa Xia Li can still understand it.

"Bastard! We're attacking your harbor city in the near future! ”

With the last glimmer of hope, Ergin warned Yang Meng that going to war is not suitable for the current situation, and the deformed monster in the shipyard of the Five Nations also makes Ergin a little jealous, after all, the shipyard of the Five Nations involves too much money, and England does not want to risk the condemnation of the world.

"Whatever! Just sharpen the soldiers for Lao Tzu! ”

At the negotiation table, the attitude of both sides is tough, which means collapse or war, Yang Meng will not give an inch, and the interests of England also need to be protected. (To be continued......)
