As soon as the talks began, the representatives of the new Huaguo and the Manchus quarreled, which undoubtedly brought a bad start to the tripartite talks. It is estimated that it will be very difficult for the Xinhua and Manchu governments to reach an agreement in this negotiation. Bonham, the British Governor of the Straits Settlements, who was the host of the talks, hurriedly came out to play a round.

"Gentlemen, this is a negotiation, not a quarrel. You can put forward all your conditions and see if you can negotiate a solution. Quarrels will not lead to anything. Governor Bonham said. He also hoped that the negotiations would continue so that they could drag on for a longer period of time, until the British Cabinet and Parliament had issued a war mandate. If negotiations between the New China and the Manchu government had broken down early, it would not have been in the interests of the British Empire. Governor Bonham wanted to use this negotiation to paralyze the new Chinese kingdom and allow British military equipment to proceed in an orderly manner. In order to defeat the Xinhua Kingdom, the British Straits Settlements and the Indian colonies had to do their best. Any negligence could lead to defeat in the war. And the consequences of the defeat were unbearable for Governor Bonham.

"Your Excellency the Governor, our conditions are actually quite simple. This time the war. It was deliberately provoked by the Xinhua Kingdom, and it was their invasion of our Qing Dynasty. Xinhua was supposed to withdraw from China and compensate the Qing for its losses. Wen Qing, the military minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, said.

"Humph! Stop daydreaming. We just want to overthrow the brutal rule of the Manchus. It's just a matter of restoring the Han family. As long as the Manchus did not hand over power for a single day, the war would not end for a day. We are confident that we will fight all the way to Beijing and pull your Manchurian Emperor off the dragon chair. Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Xinhua, said contemptuously. The Xinhua Army has an absolute upper hand on the battlefield, and this is where his confidence lies. On the contrary, the Manchus continued to lose battles on the battlefield, which made them even more violent. I can't straighten my waist.

"Great rebellion, you rebels and thieves." Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing trembled angrily, if it was in the past. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still strong, if someone dared to say this, I am afraid that they would have already been ordered to exterminate the Nine Clans. In his opinion, these Celestial Empire outcasts. It's too presumptuous and bold. Dare to slander the Qing Dynasty so blatantly, and pull the emperor off the dragon chair, it is simply looking for death.

"Your Excellency the Governor. In my opinion, there is no need to continue such talks. There was no way for us and the Manchu government to settle the question through peaceful negotiations. War is the only solution to our conflicts. Lin Zihao, Foreign Minister of Xinhua, said. Although, Xinhua also hopes to be able to negotiate through guò. Determine the ownership of the territory occupied by the Xinhua Army. But now it seems that this path is not working. The Manchu government was beaten so badly. But they still did not change their condescending attitude, as if they took it for granted that Xinhua would hand over these territories.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, please take a complaint. Negotiations have just begun, and we can talk about it a little more. Straits Settlements Governor Bonham said. He didn't want Lin Zihao to go back like this. In that case, all his efforts would be in vain.

The Manchu military ministers Wen Qing and Sai Shang'a couldn't help but worry when they saw that Lin Zihao was about to terminate the negotiations. Emperor Daoguang also had high hopes for this negotiation. If they go back like this, how can they explain to Emperor Daoguang? It's just that Lin Zihao's expression is too presumptuous, so that they who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty can't help but get angry. Of course, if they are to bow their heads and give in, it is impossible. Even if they can be shameless, but the dignified Celestial Empire of the Qing Dynasty still needs to save face.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, I think it would be better to adjourn the meeting for the time being. Talks will resume in the afternoon. Governor Bonham said.

Lin Zihao nodded, and then left the conference room with the representatives of Xinhuaguo.

"My lords, if you can't control your feelings, then I don't think there is any need to continue the negotiations. You have to make it clear that it is the Xinhua Kingdom that has the absolute upper hand, and if the negotiations break down, there will be no benefit to you. After Lin Zihao and the others left the conference room, Governor Wen Xian said to Wen Qing and Sai Shang'a, the Manchu military ministers, with some annoyance. In his opinion, these two guys with pig's tails dragging behind their heads really don't know the rules of diplomacy, and if they go on like this, they still talk about fart! He really couldn't understand why the Manchu government would send these two stupid guys. In fact, the Manchus had always regarded themselves as the superior state of the Celestial Empire, believing that other countries should pay tribute, and that other countries would inevitably think that they would be superior to others. In particular, Xinhua is still a country established by those abandoned people of the Celestial Empire, and they all have a sense of superiority in their bones, thinking that they are much more advanced than the people of Xinhua Kingdom.

"I'm sorry, Lord Governor, we'll take care of it." Said the Minister of Military Aircraft, Saishana. Although Governor Bonham's words were a bit harsh, people had to bow their heads under the eaves. If they go back like this, the two of them will definitely be held responsible. Sezanne didn't want to let such a thing affect his future anymore.

"Well, that's for the best. Rest assured, the British Empire is absolutely on your side. After Governor Bonham finished beating the stick, he did not forget to throw them a sweet date. Although the British also had bad intentions towards the Manchus. However, they now also need the Manchu Qing to contain the Xinhua State. Especially the forces that Xinhua put into the Chinese battlefield. If these forces were able to be withdrawn, it would be even more difficult for Britain to defeat the new Chinese state.

"Thank you, Lord Governor, the Qing Dynasty will not forget the help of our British friends." The Minister of Military Aircraft, Wen Qing and Sai Shang'a, said that they were both a little grateful. Although, in the Opium War, the British also beat the Manchus and forced the Manchus to sign unequal treaties. But now, as if they had forgotten about it, they regarded the British as true friends.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the talks resumed. This time, the representatives of both sides were somewhat restrained, so there was no quarrel as soon as they met.

"This time, let Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary first explain your conditions." Governor Bonham said. He was afraid that the Manchu delegates would put forward some unrealistic conditions, in which case the talks would really not be able to proceed.

"First, this war is a war between us and the Manchu government for the leadership of China, and no one is right or wrong. Since the Manchus could not lead China to prosperity and power, why couldn't it be replaced by the Xinhua state? Lin Zihao, Foreign Minister of Xinhua, said.

Hearing Lin Zihao say this, Wen Qing couldn't help but interject again, but he was stunned by Saishan, so he closed his mouth unwillingly. However, he looked at Lin Zihao's gaze as if he was going to kill someone. If gaze can kill people, Lin Zihao doesn't know how many times he has died.

"Second, the territory that Xinhua has acquired so far is only obtained by hundreds of thousands of our soldiers through bloody battles, and Xinhua will never lose the territory that these soldiers exchanged for their lives and blood. As for war reparations and the like, we can do without. However, those prisoners of war had to be ransomed by the Manchu government if they wanted it. Lin Zihao said.

After hearing the second condition of Xinhuaguo, Wen Qing and Sai Shang'a, the Minister of Military Aircraft, couldn't help but turn a little pale. Doesn't Xinhua Guo's reluctance to hand over the territory it currently occupies shows that Xinhua Guotie is determined to occupy the territory south of the Yangtze River? In this case, the Manchus would have lost half of China. They can't agree to such conditions.

"Lord Lin, such conditions are too harsh. Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it has achieved the orthodoxy of China, which is recognized by everyone in the world. It's not that Xinhua wants to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, so it can overthrow it. Although, at present, Xinhua is in an advantageous position in military strength. For a variety of reasons, the Qing Dynasty has suffered a defeat at present. However, our heritage is still there. The Qing Dynasty will not lose all the time. If we really want to keep fighting, it is very difficult to say who will win and who will lose in the future. The Qing Dynasty did not want to fight, but that did not mean that the Qing Dynasty was afraid of war. Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing said.

Regarding Wen Qing's threatening words, Lin Zihao directly ignored them. These guys in the Manchu Qing Dynasty are completely dead ducks with hard mouths. If they can really defeat Xinhua, where do they need to come all the way to Singapore to negotiate? In addition, Xinhua was also unable to continue to expand its gains because of insufficient troops. Otherwise, the Xinhua army would have been wiped out if it directly crossed the Yangtze River. After the occupation of Guangdong, the Xinhua Kingdom expanded to 20 infantry brigades, and in this war against the Manchus, the infantry brigades formed by these letters were very good. After the stability of the new China south of the Yangtze River, another 40 infantry brigades will be expanded. At that time, Xinhua will have enough strength to overthrow the Manchus. However, it will take time to stabilize the provinces south of the Yangtze River, establish the rule of the Xinhua State in these places, carry out reforms, and expand the army. You can't become a big fat man by eating in one bite, and if you want to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, you have to take it step by step. This is also the principle and policy that Xinhua has already determined.

"The Manchu government recognized the rule of the Xinhua State over the provinces south of the Yangtze River, and this is our bottom line. If the Manchu government agrees to this request, then our army will not be able to cross the Yangtze River. Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Xinhua, said solemnly. (To be continued......)
