The face of Sai Shang'a, the minister of the Manchu government and the minister of military aircraft, suddenly turned the color of pig's liver. In the Opium War, the Manchus were beaten by the British. And the British did not dare to make a mistake against Xinhuaguo, doesn't this show that the Manchus were so arrogant in front of Xinhuaguo that they didn't know whether to live or die? Sezanne wanted to refute, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"In the previous war between us and the British, it was because the Qing Dynasty was unprepared and was caught off guard by the British. Now, the Qing Dynasty is ready, and the Xinhua Kingdom wants to provoke the majesty of the Qing Dynasty, which is doomed to failure. Sezanne argued.

"Hehe, not ready? The Opium War lasted for two years, and the Manchu government was not prepared. Now that the Opium War is over, is the Manchu government ready? If you were really ready, Guangdong would not have fallen into our hands so quickly. Lin Zihao, Foreign Minister of Xinhua, said disdainfully. From the Opium War to the present, the Qing army has not changed much at all, or in other words, the combat effectiveness of the army has become worse and worse. If the Qing court wanted to force Xinhua by force, it was absolutely impossible.

"Lord Lin, according to what you say, Xinhua has no intention of negotiating with the Qing Dynasty at all?" Cezanne said coldly.

"Of course, we never thought of negotiating with the Manchu government. We have always believed that issues that can be resolved by military means are never at the negotiating table. Lin Zihao said confidently. Long Yufei once said that you can't get something on the battlefield. Don't want to get it at the negotiating table. The meaning is very obvious, even if you want to negotiate, you have to wait until the other party is subdued on the battlefield.

"You!" Sezanne looked ashamed. Immediately got up from his chair and planned to leave. However, the moment he stood up, he thought about his task. If you leave like this, I'm afraid it won't be good for Emperor Daoguang. So, he had to sit back down.

"Lord Lin, we are all Chinese with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin. Why do you have to get to the point where the sword fights? If there are differences, we can resolve them diplomatically, so that the peace will not be hurt. Sezanne said.

Lin Zihao said. What Xinhua wanted was the leadership of China, and would the Manchus give it up? Therefore, the Xinhua State and the Manchu government could only settle the dispute by means of war. The victorious side became the ruler of China. The losing side. The end will be very miserable.

"Although Xinhua is based in the South Seas, the main body of our country is overseas Chinese. In other words, we are also Chinese. However, what the Manchu government did was really disappointing. In the face of the Western powers, the Manchus were defeated. The land was ceded and reparations were paid, and a treaty was signed to humiliate the country. How can such a government continue to lead China? Therefore, Xinhua hoped that the Manchus would be able to hand over the leadership of China to us. In this way, the two of us will be able to live in peace. Lin Zihao said.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Sai Shang Ah shook his head again and again, such conditions were not something he could decide, and he didn't even dare to hand them over to Emperor Daoguang. If the Manchu government gave up the leadership of China, what would the millions of Manchus do, and whether they would return to the icy northeast to hunt and live that hard life? After two hundred years of comfortable life, it is estimated that most of the Manchu people have no life skills, and they have completely become parasites of the whole society.

"Lord Lin, my Qing Dynasty is the orthodoxy of China, which has been recognized by the people of the whole world. With the strength of the Qing Dynasty, if it fights with Xinhua to the end, Xinhua may not be able to win. It is better to put forward some less harsh conditions in this way, and if the Qing Dynasty can accept it, then we can shake hands and make peace. Sezanne said.

Lin Zihao was very speechless, if it weren't for the delay for the military, he wouldn't want to continue talking. So, he asked, "So, Lord Sai, what price is the Manchu government willing to pay?" ”

"Lord Lin, given that our Daqing and Xinhua Kingdom are both countries established by the Chinese, we can completely become brothers and friends. This time, the invasion of Guangdong by the Xinhua Kingdom, the Qing Dynasty can not be blamed for the past. As long as Xinhua compensates the Qing Dynasty with 10 million taels of silver to make up for the losses of the Qing Dynasty and the general public. In the future, the Qing Dynasty and the Xinhua Kingdom were willing to live in peace and engage in reciprocal trade for mutual benefit. Sezanne said.

Lin Zihao smiled, and then said, "Master Sai, if this is the condition, then we don't need to talk about it." There is no need to report it to His Majesty the King of our country, and I also know that His Majesty the King will never agree to such conditions. So, we don't have to waste time. ”

Xinhua now has the upper hand, even the entire Guangdong Province has been taken by Xinhua State, and the Manchu government wants to extort 10 million taels of silver from Xinhua State, and wants to return to Guangdong for such nothing, which is simply impossible. Xinhuaguo is not a fool, it took so much effort to lay down Guangdong, and there is a hand to let people after the most lucrative comeback, isn't it a bamboo basket to beat the water?

"Lord Lin, if Xinhuaguo feels that the conditions are not satisfied, we can talk urgently. Negotiations were meant to be negotiated before an agreement could be reached. Saishana hurriedly said. He was really afraid that Lin Zihao would not talk to him anymore, in that case, he would not be able to continue to drag on.

"Okay, Lord Sai, we also have a few conditions in the Xinhua Kingdom. If the Manchu government can agree, then we can shake hands and make peace. Lin Zihao said. Of course, Xinhuaguo did not want to negotiate with the Manchus, and these conditions were all made up by himself.

"Lord Lin, please speak." Sezanne said.

"First, the Manchus recognized Guangdong as the territory of the Xinhua State and ceded the provinces of Guangxi and Fujian to the Xinhua State. Second, the Manchu government compensated Xinhua with 50 million taels of silver. Third, the Manchu government fully opened its market to Xinhua, and tariffs were determined through negotiation between the two sides. Fourth, the Manchus and Xinhua formed an alliance to jointly deal with the threat from the West. "These conditions, Lin Zihao came as soon as he opened his mouth. He had presided over the previous negotiations with the Spaniards and the Dutch, and he was familiar with them.

After hearing these conditions, Sezan'a was already dumbfounded. He did not expect that the Xinhua Congress would put forward such conditions. It's just too harsh to accept. Saishang Azhi said that if he conveyed the conditions of Xinhua Kingdom to Emperor Daoguang, Emperor Daoguang would definitely divide his five horses.

"Lord Lin, it is absolutely impossible to agree to such a condition. The Qing Dynasty is not a defeated country, and it is impossible for you to slaughter it. Sezanne said angrily.

"Lord Sai, this is the condition of our new country. This is already a very reasonable condition. In the past, when Xinhua faced other countries, it often directly destroyed the country. Being able to negotiate peace with the Manchu government is already a great face-saving thing for you. Lin Zihao said. Since the founding of the Xinhua Kingdom, countless countries have been destroyed. The earliest Moro sultanates, to the Sultanate of Brunei, to Vietnam, etc. These countries have all become part of the Xinhua Kingdom.

"Lord Lin, if the Xinhua Kingdom wants to destroy the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible. If the war continues, the last defeat will only be Xinhuaguo! Sezanne said.

The differences between the two sides are so great that it is simply impossible to reach an agreement. In the end, the negotiations had to be temporarily suspended.

Two days later, the two sides again negotiated. While both sides have made concessions, huge differences cannot be resolved by small concessions. It was really the condition proposed by Xinhua Guo, so that Sai Shang'a didn't have the courage to report to Emperor Daoguang.

Over the next month-long period, the two sides made several more contacts. However, the end result is that it all ends in failure.

The reason why the talks took so long was entirely because both sides wanted to stall for time. The Manchu army is moving south, and the 200,000 army is heading south, and it takes a long time to prepare for food, grass and ammunition. Although there was an order from the imperial court that the local governments must cooperate unconditionally, so many troops went south, which still tossed the people along the line enough, and consumed a lot of time. The same is true in Xinhuaguo, where 20 infantry brigades are being trained in full swing in military camps across Guangdong. After the basic queue training, the recruits have begun to carry out shooting training, and the daily consumption of more than two million rounds of ammunition is very good, fortunately Xinhuaguo has prepared a large number of weapons and ammunition, otherwise it is really not enough to consume. Marksmanship is fed by bullets, and in order to avoid the rifles in the hands of soldiers from turning into burning sticks after going to the battlefield, they must first be trained in this aspect.

In January 1843, the negotiations between the Xinhua Kingdom and the Manchu Qing Dynasty could finally come to an end. The reason is very simple, the 200,000 Qing troops have already arrived at the front line, and the negotiations between Saishan'a and Xinhuaguo have not been fruitful for a long time, and the Qing court does not intend to continue to drag it out, as if it intends to solve it by force. Therefore, in front of Lin Zihao, the foreign minister of the new country, Cézanne proudly announced that the negotiations had broken down, and the two sides would use war to settle the dispute. Moreover, he advised Xinhua to withdraw from Guangdong immediately after the last resort, otherwise, when the Qing army's army arrived, Xinhua would pay a greater price.

At this moment, the recruits of the 20 infantry brigades of the Xinhua Army are still undergoing intensive training. It will take another month for their training to be completed. In this month, the Xinhua army was able to withstand the attack of the Qing army with more than 60,000 troops. (To be continued......)
