The British note was a month and a half later than Yang Meng expected, and a month and a half was enough to make many things irreversible, and the war between Britain and Russia, to be honest, Yang Meng did not have such confidence, the British navy, the army of Tsarist Russia, if the two ways attacked, the future situation is unpredictable.

There is no doubt about the strength of the English Navy, hundreds of warships! As the world's strongest industrial country, the gap between the Qing Dynasty and England is still a bit big, if England is determined to die, the war will last for an extremely long time.

In more than ten years or decades of war, there are too many variables, Yang Meng does not have the slightest certainty of victory, and against Tsarist Russia alone, Yang Meng has an eighty or ninety percent chance of winning, and against Britain and Russia, it is almost equivalent to facing the whole of Europe.

With the development of the war, France that was evacuated in the early stage may also join the war, Millican and England are a strip of water, and it is not impossible to participate in the war.

Although the Qing Dynasty does not need to take into account the international situation, it is definitely a stupid choice to confront the world with the strength of one country.

"What do you think of this note, Commander? Will England be involved in this war? ”

At the critical juncture, Yang Meng is also somewhat unconfident, most of the current situation of the Yang family is from the wrong side, and it seems that the family has a big business. In fact, the foundation is unstable. War within ten years. Yang Meng can support it, beyond ten years, no matter how good the people's will is, it will be exhausted by the war.

"Third Master, according to your previous judgment, Ying Ji will not participate in the war, compared to us, Ying Ji is a shoe-wearer. As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and the Qing Dynasty will be defeated again, that is, the ghost appearance before Hong Yang Chaoqing, and what about England?

They have too many colonies in the world, they are desperate, and England has too many concerns, and they are afraid that they do not have such pride!

Third master, you are concerned about the chaos, and now the war. It's true for us, but for England. More importantly, whether they participate in the war or not, they need a respite now, retreat is inevitable, even if our conditions are harsh, they will accept it.

As the third master said, England is a country, and the war in the Far East is too expensive for England, and they are not enough to support such a war, even if there are colonies all over the world, they are not enough to support such a war!

The consumption is too great, and there will inevitably be disputes in England, which is different from the political system of the Qing Dynasty, and the country is not the so-called queen who has the final say, and the affairs of the Qing Dynasty, the third master can be decided.

So in this peace talks, the third master just needs to mention the conditions, the more harsh the better, and I am afraid that there will be more doubts on the English side! ”

Internal affairs is only one of Xu Ziwei's tasks, as the chief of staff, it is also one of his tasks to analyze the international situation for Yang Meng.

"In this way, Lao Tzu is too demanding?"

Yang Meng also knows the situation very well, Xu Ziwei is right, he is concerned about chaos, and the Qing Dynasty is in a sea war, if India is in hand, England may have such confidence, now! is that sentence, the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and now Yang Meng is a single, and the English dragger really doesn't dare to gamble.

"That's it, third master, care is chaos!"

Influence Yang Meng's thoughts, Xu Ziwei doesn't have such a ability, all he can do is to remind and admonish within a certain range, and if he wants to influence Yang Sanye's thoughts, it will be slow to die.

"In this way, Lao Tzu wants the English warships in Jinkou to block the river and sand, and they will agree, and they will also agree to the overseas mining priority required by the shipyards of the five countries?"

These ideas, Yang Meng has revealed some before, the priority of overseas mining, but it is the first time to mention, for these Xu Ziwei nodded in approval, and then opened his mouth again.

"Third master, you might as well add a compensation of 100,000 yuan, so that England will definitely agree to these two items."

"What if you add the recovery of Hong Kong Island?"

For the territory, Yang Meng has always taken it very seriously, if it is not heavy, he will not start a war in the northwest, the war in the northwest, but it will kill millions of people, these are not to recover the land that was cut out before the three eastern provinces, and at the same time add some interest?

"Third master, this is a bit harsh, let's prevent the English dog from jumping off the wall!

The conditions are too thin, England will be suspicious, similarly, the conditions are too harsh, England will also fight back, leaving Hong Kong Island, England has the idea of turning the tables, all at once, I am afraid that England, even if it does not participate in the war, it will fall directly to Tsarist Russia. ”

The international situation is not much different from officialdom, it is nothing more than a different carrier, officialdom fighting, is exactly what Xu Ziwei is good at, grasping people's hearts, Yang Sanye is powerful, but analyzing the situation, it has to be him Xu Ziwei!

"Hmmm! This statement is good, for the analysis of the situation, my side is weaker, you should focus on it! ”

Controlling people's hearts and grasping people's hearts is Yang Meng's strength, but when it comes to analyzing the situation in detail, Xu Ziwei, a living monkey military advisor, is still extremely powerful.

"Huh...... Without the deployment of the third master, the chief has nowhere to exert his strength! ”

Yang Sanye didn't appreciate people much, and after listening to Yang Meng's words, Xu Ziwei was also a little relieved.

"Nice is good, you don't have to be humble! In the future, transfer domestic affairs to Yan Qing and Xiucheng, you focus on the international situation, this is your strength, I can't say that in the future, Lao Tzu will still rely on you! ”

Today's country, there is no need for any great talents, many things, are formulated by Yang Meng, the implementation is, the cultivation of domestic talents, need to be behind, now the internal worries are small and the external troubles are big, the internal problems are long-term problems, and the external troubles can be solved in the near future.

If it's not about quality. Xu Ziwei is definitely a talent. This person, Yang Meng, didn't dare to let him go. But the disciples he cultivated can't all be scum, right? A batch of earnings is enough to deal with the external situation in the future, and the officialdom culture of the Qing Dynasty has cultivated people like Xu Ziwei the most.

With Xu Ziwei's reminder. For negotiations, Yang Meng also has the confidence, and it is not so easy for England to withdraw safely without shedding its skin.

handed over the domestic government affairs to Xu Ziwei, Cen Yuying, and Li Xiucheng, and Yang Meng stepped on the train to Jinkou again.

The meeting between England and the Qing Dynasty was hidden from the Tsarist Russians, and now it is this season. England was too busy to take care of itself, so naturally it would not spend extra attention on Tsarist Russia. Tsarist Russia is not France, and England's cooperation with Tsarist Russia this time is also a helpless move.

The venue of the meeting is still the Tanah Lot Temple near Beitang, this time the attitude of Yilu and the others is not as arrogant as before, and for the sake of safety, Yang Meng did not mention the kneeling and begging thing he said last time, if it pushes Yingli into a hurry, it will not be of any benefit to Yang Meng.

"What, guys, do you know to lower your profile this time?"

The death penalty can be avoided and the living crime is inevitable, although Yilu and others were not allowed to kneel and beg for peace talks, the ridicule on Yang Meng's mouth is still indispensable, otherwise how can he suppress the invincible British Empire in terms of momentum?

"Lord Duke, we are here with sincerity this time, England and France have decided the same as France, and want to withdraw from this war!"

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, this proverb of the Qing Dynasty made Yilu and others very helpless, but the situation was such that the British Empire was no longer able to support the war in the Far East, and if the war continued, I am afraid that the cabinet would fall.

"Simple! Annulment, reparations, and killing! This is what was said in advance, abolish the Yiqiē treaty, pay two billion taels of silver, and slaughter the Russian mercenaries in Beitang, we will still be good friends in the future! ”

At this time, the Yilu side will not spit out, and Yang Meng will not put forward any conditions, the annulment of the contract and the indemnity to kill Maozi are the conditions of the last time, these conditions, the abolition of the contract is still possible, but the compensation is impossible, and the indemnity of 700 million pounds is also unbearable for England.

Listening to Yang Meng's conditions, Yilu's face immediately changed, two billion taels of silver, what does it mean that Yilu is very clear, if there is so much silver, the British Empire will not come to ask for surrender, is this a joke?

"Lord Duke, we are very sincere, if we fall to the side of Tsarist Russia, I am afraid it will be extremely unfavorable to your country, can we uncover this war, you let us leave safely, we will not participate in the war between you and Tsarist Russia!"

Such conditions are also a great concession to Yilu, the Qing State is just a declining empire, what qualifications does he have to negotiate on an equal footing with the British Empire?

"Let you go away in peace? There is a saying on our side that there are endless troubles after letting the tiger return to the mountain! If you don't give the right conditions, none of you and Tsarist Russia will be able to escape!

When Lao Tzu's army destroys Tsarist Russia and starts from the Arctic Ocean, you can directly attack the English mainland, and when the time comes, the hatred of burning the five major gardens, Lao Tzu will wash away the blood of all the English people on your homeland!

Your participation in the war is exactly what Lao Tzu can't ask for, so be it! When you go back, Lao Tzu will give you three days to prepare for war, and after three days, Lao Tzu's army will launch a general attack on you from the land and sea!

Don't think about surrendering, we have no mercy for the defeated, the grain of the Qing Dynasty is for people to eat, not for animals, as for you, make fertilizer for the coming year! ”

International conventions or something, the Qing Dynasty has never signed it, even if later generations talk about the massacre, Yang Meng also has his own rhetoric, European and American countries do not incorporate the Qing Dynasty into the convention system, they start war, this is their own mistake, as for the massacre of the army and the people, this is the habit of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and after the establishment of the new country, this bad habit will also be abandoned in a certain way, as for what Cheng dù is abandoned, no war is naturally completely abandoned, with war, habit becomes natural!

"You...... We are here with sincerity, and we hope that you will not refuse the olive branch we have handed over, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable for you! ”

"What consequences? Before, you said that the consequences are unbearable, but are you unable to bear it or we cannot bear it?

If you start a war, talk about the war, hand over the war book, and Lao Tzu will kill you English people in the future!

Hmph......"

Yilu has not opened the conditions for a long time, that is, he has illusions, if England really dares to participate in the war, Yang Meng will not mind dragging India into the quagmire of war, when the time comes, tens of millions of troops, against Europe, Yang Meng's side is not without a chance of winning, when the time comes, the British mainland is threatened, I am afraid that the fleet in the Far East, England will also be all transferred back, right?

Time, as long as there is three or five years, Yang Meng has the ability to block the shipping lanes between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and if he fights again in ten years, Yang Meng will slaughter the entire Europe, which is nothing more than fighting for living space.

"Lord Duke, we have to discuss!"

"Good! Lao Tzu gives you time! (To be continued......)
