Chapter 824: Annulment of the contract and indemnity to kill Maozi

Expelling Putiyatin from the peace talks delegation could not have been easier for Bonham and Andrey, and now both Britain and France need time to adjust their policies in the Far East, delaying time, and rescuing the trapped Anglo-French troops is the main goal of the two, as for Putiatin's non-discrimination, it is their business.

Now the best result is to be able to negotiate, the tundra city of Beitang has begun to collapse, once the war starts, I am afraid that the British and French forces will suffer the fate of massacre.

Yang Meng picked his son, Wen Xian and Andre expelled Putiyatin, it took a total of five days, and now it is not only Britain and France that need time, Yang Meng also needs time, as for the British and French coalition forces, even if there are warships at sea to cooperate, Yang Meng is also confident that he will leave the vast majority of this land as fertilizer and start a war, he has nothing to care about.

Both sides have the intention of delaying time, then the negotiations will go on endlessly, this negotiation, Yang Meng is against the original intention, but for the European and American world, this is also a precursor to the opening of the Qing Dynasty, with this negotiation, Britain and France want to collude with the European and American world to deal with the Qing Dynasty, it is not an easy thing to do.

Sitting at the negotiating table again, looking at Andre with a wry smile on his face, Wen Xian and Yilu with hatred on his face, Yang Meng felt very happy, he had too many worries before, and Britain and France who could fight sat down to negotiate, this is a great progress, destroy these two countries in one fell swoop, it's okay to joke, if you really do this, it will be the enemy of the entire European and American world, why bother!

If he can't achieve it, Yang Meng can only comfort himself like this, and compete with himself, especially with himself. Woe to you!

"Yang Butang, what conditions do you have?"

Andre knew that Yang Meng could understand the eagle's language, and now at this time, it is very important to delay time, the conditions of the Qing country, I am afraid that the first one is to abolish the treaty, an unequal treaty, it is difficult to restrict this country now, and such a condition, Britain and France want to accept. It's hard!

"Simple! Annulment, reparations, and killing! The meaning of the denunciation. As you all know, Britain and France took the lead in uniting Europe and the United States to abolish the treaty that you imposed on the Qing Dynasty, provided that it did not affect normal trade.

Reparations. The British and French forces burned five royal gardens in the Qing Dynasty. The value of these five royal gardens. Around two billion taels of silver, the war has been going on until now, and the number of casualties in our Qing Dynasty. At about 300,000, the per capita compensation of 500 taels of silver is calculated, and this indemnity is about 150 million taels, counting the consumption of the war, the amount of indemnity that you Britain and France need to pay is 2.2 billion taels of silver!

Killing Maozi, it's simpler, the war was fought between the Qing Dynasty and Britain and France, the mercenaries of Tsarist Russia intervened sideways, so that the people of the Qing Dynasty paid a lot of casualties, this time the Russian mercenaries, you two countries not only have to disarm their weapons, but also execute them on the territory of the Qing Dynasty! ”

Annulment, reparations, killing Maozi, these three, the second indemnity is definitely impossible, the difficulty of abolishing the contract is not small, the best thing to do should be to kill Maozi, Britain and France suffered a blood loss in the Qing Dynasty, and they are unable to make a plan in the near future, but do some small actions, they still have the ability to provoke a war between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, and they can imagine taking advantage of the fishermen.

This condition put forward by Yang Meng should be in line with the interests of Britain and France, Lao Maozi not only Yang Meng does not want to see them, but also in Europe Lao Maozi is not welcome, killing tens of thousands of old Maozi is just a matter of one person and one gun for the British and French coalition forces.

"It can't be! We refuse such conditions! ”

After listening to these conditions, Wen Xian was not in a hurry, but Yilu was in a hurry, the annulment of the contract and the indemnity were conditions that could not be agreed!

"That's good! Let's not talk about it anymore, let's go to war! Today in the Qing Dynasty, a year or two later, it will be India, Central Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Australia.

André, what do you say in France? Do you want to die endlessly? ”

Yang Meng didn't care about the arrogance of Yilu, and after saying cruel words, he turned his head to Andre.

"Lord Ministry, can you give my country some time?"

Although André is also a plenipotentiary minister, there are not many plenipotentiary ministers in France, and the power in his hands is far less than that of Wenham, and there are some things that he really needs to discuss with the country.

"Good! Give you two months to discuss, and give you another five days to separate the French army in Beitang and Zhangjiawan, and after five days, the Qing army will launch a general attack on the Anglo-Russian coalition army, and the Qing will fight without prisoners!

Leave! ”

After saying this, Yang Meng got up and was about to leave, Yilu didn't expect this negotiation opponent of the Qing State to be so tough, saying that if he would fight, he would fight, which was beyond his imagination.

"Yang Butang, wait a minute!"

This was said by Wen Xian in Chinese, and it seems that this person really can't sit still.

"Wait? What else, didn't your country refuse our conditions?

My conditions have been opened, and after that, there are only the people of the Qing Dynasty in the world, and there is no nation like England, and what we are going to carry out next is a war of extermination!

There has not been such a big war in the world for many years, and perhaps, such a good show will not be seen in the future?

By the way, now the title of the main hall in the Qing Dynasty is the Duke of Zhenguo, and the power is quite the same as the regent on your side, and Lao Tzu has the final say in the matter of war! ”

After saying this, Yang Meng smiled calmly, raised his feet and walked out of the door.

"I am the Minister Plenipotentiary of the British Empire, and Yilu has no authority to answer questions!"

Looking at the smile on Yang Meng's face, Wen Xian was really scared, he naturally knew that the emperor's status in the Qing State, the war of extermination, the emperor of the Qing State could be opened, once this matter came true, the result was unimaginable!

For the Anglo-French coalition army, what the Qing army did is no secret now, the allied army of Ergin and Grant was dismembered by the Qing army, and the Anglo-French alliance army of the Yilu brothers died most of them, these are all the sins of the Qing army!

Killing, for the Qing army, I am afraid it is commonplace, and the lives of the Qing people are not their own. But their Emperor Xià, once the so-called war of extermination really starts, even if England can win, what will be the price?

"If you don't have the authority to answer questions, get out!"

Arrogant and domineering is the posture that the winner should have, how to ravage the loser is not too much, if it is not for the strength in his hands, not strong enough, Yang Meng really wants to carry out a war to destroy the country!

"Butcher!"

Yilu lost an angry word and quickly left the negotiating table. Bonham did a good job. The Empire will not allow any further war.

"Lord Duke, if you accept your conditions or not, our country also needs time to decide, can you give us three months?"

Wen Xian took an extra month. Something. The empire is already in preparation. Three months might be successful, right?

"Yes! But with a mortgage! ”

After Yang Meng nodded, a smile also appeared on Wen Xian's face. But after the word mortgage came out, the smile on Wen Xian's face was gone.

"What do we need to pledge?"

"Fifty warships! Fifty merchant ships! A month later, all of them were opened into the big sell! ”

"It can't be!"

"Then go to war!"

"Yes! But our other warships, need to be moored nearby! ”

"Yes!"

Dagukou barrage river sand, is a natural graveyard for warships, as long as the British warships dare to enter, Yang Meng dares to let them not get out, now is not the previous battle, with the naval guns provided by Ergin, Yang Meng has enough to cover the blockade of Dagukou coastal defense artillery, not waiting for the British warships to withdraw from Dagukou, Yang Meng can turn them into a pile of sawdust on the sea.

At this time, the negotiation is similar to playing a scoundrel, how were those treaties of the Qing Dynasty signed? Most of the reason is that he can't win, and now he can't win the war with the British and French forces, many things are going to become, and the status of Wen Xian is the same as Yang Meng's, and a sentence can decide whether a war will start or not, otherwise he can only reluctantly accept such conditions.

Fifty warships and fifty merchant ships are just anchored at the mouth of Dagu, and as for the matter of peace, whether it is Wenham, Yilu or Andrei, they all know that this war will never be fought now, even if Britain and France have such national strength, and fight another war in the Far East on a scale comparable to the Crimea, but what are the chances of victory for the two countries?

Navy, the British Empire is the first in the world, France is also a naval power, but the final decisive battle still has to be carried out on land, the warship can not drive on land, the combat power of today's Qing Army is comparable to that of European and American powers, the number of people is unknown, the navy is not much worse than the navy of the British Empire in the local battlefield, the ironclad ship is too subversive to the ship technology, and the war from generals to politicians is extremely unoptimistic.

Such an evaluation will soon spread to the mainland, and the final outcome is afraid that the abolition of the treaty and the indemnity will be implemented, and the tens of thousands of mercenaries who can't get the tsarist Russia will also be substituted for the dead, compared with the Qing State, there are too many things that Britain and France have to fear.

"Farewell!"

Wen Xian felt very humiliated, how easy was it for the British Empire to deal with the Qing State back then? Now it's a different day!

"Don't send it!"

Turning back to the negotiation table, looking at Andre, who was still a little sluggish, Yang Meng just smiled and didn't speak.

"Lord Duke, ...... on the French side"

Andre also knows that personal relations have little effect at the negotiation table, but in two months, the consumption of French soldiers in Zhangjiawan and Beitang is also very great, once there is an epidemic, I am afraid that this Duke of the Qing Dynasty will not care about the life or death of French soldiers, and some things will have to be tried.

"It can be discussed, as long as the French army slaughters the Russian mercenaries in Zhangjiawan, Lao Tzu will immediately get out of the way! After that, our two countries will jointly build the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway! ”

France does not have many interests in the Far East, at first Yang Meng did not plan to start a war with France first, but they participated in wars that should not be involved, let go of the French army, and will come from Annan to deal with them.

There are still thousands of old Maozi in Zhangjiawan, if Andre has such courage, it would be the best, slaughtering the old Maozi in Zhangjiawan, Yang Meng will definitely not embarrass the French army.

"I don't have the right to answer this, there is no better solution?"

It is not so easy to kill the mercenaries of Tsarist Russia, but France and Tsarist Russia can start a war by land, although France has a chance of winning against Tsarist Russia, but such a thing, Andrei, Minister Plenipotentiary, has no right to reply at all.

"Yes! Abolish the treaty, pay compensation in proportion to the troops, and the murder can be revealed! ”

"I don't have the right to answer this! Is there any other way? ”

Annulment of the contract, Andre can't make a decision, and he can't make a decision on the compensation of hundreds of millions of taels of silver, the conditions of the new duke of the Qing Kingdom, Andre can't answer a single one, and now it seems that he can only get to Guò France at a closer distance, and he has an advantage in the negotiations.

France did not have great interests in the Far East, and instead of accompanying England to jump into the sea, it was better to pick themselves out first, otherwise the French soldiers with smaller losses would also face a catastrophe.

"Then don't participate in the Anglo-Russian conspiracy against the Qing Dynasty, once you participate, it will be difficult to live in peace in the future!"

There was no conspiracy between the British and Russians, Yang Meng did not believe it, and their conspiracy was nothing more than in the southeast peninsula, Tibet, northwest or eastern provinces, where Siam on the southeast peninsula and Kokand Khanate in the northwest were the most likely.

Yunnan is the place where Yang Meng must defend, and the Kokand Khanate in the northwest has several precedents of invasion, isn't Zhang Ge's family the best example?

"I'll do my best!"

"That's the best!" (To be continued......)
