As soon as the negotiations began, the representatives of China and Russia were full of gunpowder, which made the whole negotiation seem a little tense from the very beginning. The resoluteness of the attitude of the Chinese Empire towards Russia, coupled with the fact that it was completely two-for-tat attitudes, made both the Manchu and British delegates a little anxious. If the Chinese Empire had fallen out with Russia directly, then the negotiations would not have been able to continue. If you don't do it well, the negotiations will have to break down early. In this case, the four-party talks, which the British managed to organize, will become a joke.

"Damn the Russians, what are they trying to do? Are they deliberately trying to cause trouble? What good will it do them if the negotiations break down this time? Sir Davis, the British Governor of Hong Kong, who supported the negotiations, glared at the Russian envoy to China, Putiyatin, almost through gritted teeth.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, Your Excellency Putiyatin, I think we need to calm down. In this way, the dispute between the Chinese Empire and Russia will be put aside for the time being, and the war between the Chinese Empire and the Qing State will be negotiated first! Minister Davis said hurriedly. He was really afraid that if he allowed the situation to continue to develop, he would be in danger of getting out of control. Compared with the Manchus, although Russia suffered heavy losses, it has not yet reached the point of breaking its bones and bones, and their demand for peace will not be so urgent. The Manchus, on the other hand, would have perished if they had not made peace.

In this regard, Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, and Putiyatin, the Russian Minister to China, had no objection.

"Lord Lin, the Qing Dynasty and the Chinese Empire. We all belong to the Chinese nation, and we could have become a brotherly state. But now war has broken out, causing countless families to be destroyed. Causing the lives of the land of Shenzhou to be miserable is not something that the Qing Dynasty wants to see. I believe that this is not what the Chinese Empire wants to see. This war was originally a wrong war, and I have great sincerity to end this war and let countless ordinary people no longer live a life of exile! Manchu Minister of Military Aircraft and Foreign Minister Saishana said.

"Lord Sai! The Empire launched this war. It is for the sake of the Chinese nation. You also know very well what the Manchu rule was like north of the Yangtze River. You have expropriated and extorted so that the people of northern China are miserable. Such a rule. If it continues, it will harm the entire Chinese nation. Therefore, we started this war completely by taking advantage of the situation! Lin Zihao said. Although this time the war was first provoked by the Chinese Empire. But. The purpose of the Chinese Empire in waging war was to save the entire Chinese nation, and it can be said that it has a clear conscience.

"Lord Lin, you are reversing black and white. According to the treaty signed between the Qing Dynasty and the Chinese Empire, we should coexist peacefully. But you have brazenly torn up the treaty, which is an act of treachery, and you are not afraid of the shame of the whole world? Sezanne said angrily.

"Lord Sai, the people of the whole world understand the painstaking efforts of the Empire. Everywhere the imperial army went, it was able to gain the support and welcome of the common people. This is also the reason why the Imperial Army was able to defeat you lightly. I think this has fully proved who is on the side of justice. There is an old Chinese saying. Water can carry boats and capsize boats, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has lost the support of the common people, and it will not have any effect if they continue to struggle! Lin Zihao said coldly. This time, the Chinese Empire was determined to destroy the Manchus. Last time, due to its own lack of strength and foreign interference, the Chinese Empire gave up fighting the Yangtze River and destroyed the Manchus. However, in hindsight, it was undoubtedly a somewhat wrong decision. In the past few years, the people north of the Yangtze River who have been made miserable by the Manchu Qing Dynasty have suffered from the damage to the vitality of the Chinese nation! If this continues, the empire will probably pay an even greater price if it wants to restore the livelihood of the people in the north.

"You ......" Cezanne was speechless for a while, not knowing whether he was angry or ashamed. As a high-ranking official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was not unaware of what the Manchu situation was like. In order to confront the increasingly powerful Chinese Empire, the Manchus had to devote all their strength to the war of armament. For this purpose, it also borrowed heavily from the United Kingdom. Of course, the rulers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also had a good calculation, thinking that they could defeat the Chinese Empire in one fell swoop, so as to plunder the wealth of the Chinese Empire, and then not only be able to pay off all the debts, but also be able to rely on the industrial foundation laid by the Chinese Empire to become one of the world's great powers in one fell swoop. But now it seems that this qiē is nothing more than wishful thinking on their part. The results of the war had shown that the Manchus were no match for the Chinese Empire, and if they continued like this, they would be destroyed soon.

"Both, war has broken out, and it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong now. The most important thing is how to end the war, which is the most important thing! Sir Bonham, British Minister to China, said. Although this war was initiated by the Chinese Empire, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has really done too badly north of the Yangtze River in recent years, and although the Chinese Empire is suspected of tearing up the treaty, it is nothing. This was especially true when the Chinese Empire had complete superiority on the battlefield. If the Manchus dwelled on this issue any longer, there would be no benefit to the negotiations at all. If negotiations fail to reach a treaty in favor of the Manchus, or if it breaks down, it is the Manchus who will be hurt in the end.

The Manchu Minister of War and Foreign Affairs Saishana was not a fool, and Sir Bonham immediately realized this. So, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Lord Lin, we won't say who is right and who is wrong, ending the war is the most important thing. As long as the Chinese Empire is willing to withdraw from the territory of the Great Qing Dynasty and compensate for the losses of the Great Qing Dynasty, then we are willing to sign a peace treaty with the Chinese Empire, so that China can once again return to peace! Sezanne said. However, his condition shocked everyone, not only Lin Zihao, the foreign minister of the Chinese Empire, but also the Russians who participated in the negotiations and the British who supported the negotiations, did not seem to expect that Cezanne would put forward such a condition.

Chinese Foreign Minister Lin Zihao was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Haha! Are you kidding? Lin Zihao asked.

"Lord Lin, this is a negotiation, it's a matter of strictness, why am I joking?" Saishana was a little annoyed by Lin Zihao's unscrupulous ridicule. He also belonged to the figure above 10,000 people under one person in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when has he ever been ridiculed like this!

"Humph! Sai-sama, if you're not kidding! Why do you put forward such a condition? Now, how much territory is left of the Manchus? And how much strength to confront the empire. It can be said that the empire only needs one last step to be able to destroy the Manchus. Isn't it too whimsical that you want the empire to withdraw from the Manchus now? Lin Zihao asked mockingly.

"Lord Lin, this is all the territory of the Qing Dynasty that the Chinese Empire has invaded, do you still want to occupy it forever?" Sezanne asked angrily.

"If the Manchu Qing is destroyed, then everything will belong to us! For thousands of years, there have been dynastic changes in China's history, and this is a normal thing! It has been two hundred years since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and it is time to be destroyed! Lin Zihao said. The fall of the Chinese Empire to the Manchu Qing Dynasty was nothing more than a normal dynastic change in China. However, the intervention of other countries has complicated this change of dynasty. Now, however, the Chinese Empire is strong enough to prevent outside interference.

"Lord Lin, are you going to kill them all? If you don't have any way to live, I won't sit idly by! When the time comes, of course, the Qing Dynasty will perish, but you will also pay a heavy price! Sezanne threatened.

"Haha, that's good! In my opinion, there is no need for this negotiation to continue! Let's take a look on the battlefield and see how much you can cost us! Lin Zihao said coldly.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, if you have something to say, we can continue to talk." Seeing that the negotiations were about to go on again, Sir Davis, the British Governor of Hong Kong, who presided over the negotiations, hurriedly played a round. Britain was very reluctant to be destroyed by the Manchus, and if the Manchus were destroyed, Britain would not only lose a chess piece to contain China, but more importantly, it would not want to recover the 20 million pounds it had lent to the Manchus. This is also a very big loss for the UK.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the terms of the negotiations can be discussed slowly. The Qing side has already put forward the corresponding conditions, and if you have any objections, you can also put forward your conditions! Sir Bonham, British Minister to China, said. There is no doubt that as soon as the negotiations began, both of them felt the difficulty of mediating this negotiation.

"Well, I'll also talk about the conditions of the Empire. The conditions of the empire are very simple, this war is nothing more than a civil war in China, and it is a very normal change of dynasty. However, the entry of foreign powers has made this war even more complicated. The empire wants all foreign powers to withdraw from this war. As for the Manchus, the emperor demanded that the Manchu emperor abdicate and surrender the full strength of the state. The empire could no longer hold the Manchus accountable for their previous mistakes. Otherwise, one qiē can only be solved by means of war! Lin Zihao said.

Similarly, the conditions put forward by Lin Zihao on behalf of the Chinese Empire also made the representatives of all parties completely speechless. Such an asking price was completely unexpected by everyone! (To be continued......)
