When Xinhua Foreign Minister Lin Zihao arrived in Singapore, the welcoming scene was much larger than that of the Manchu Qing delegates. Of course, this had nothing to do with the British colonial authorities, and even in order to deliberately show their contempt for the new country, only an official from the Governor's Palace went to the docks to greet them. The Governor of the Straits Settlements, Bonham, was nowhere to be seen.

However, Lin Zihao, the foreign minister of the new Chinese country, did not care about this, and was able to let the Chinese living in Singapore spontaneously come to the dock to greet him, which already moved Lin Zihao very much. Singapore is also home to a Chinese community, and most of the people living here are Chinese. They naturally have great respect for the Xinhua Kingdom that shocked the South Seas. Although, the new Chinese state has not yet been able to drive out the British and liberate them from colonial rule. However, their lives are much better than before. The more powerful the Xinhua Kingdom became, the more the British colonists did not dare to oppress them too much. In particular, Xinhua China has repeatedly negotiated with the British Straits Settlements authorities on the living conditions of the Chinese in Singapore, which has effectively guaranteed the interests of the Chinese people, which makes the Chinese people very grateful. Of course, deep down in their hearts, they also longed for the day when the Xinhua Army would be able to defeat the British colonists. Then they will be able to turn over and be in charge.

As for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Chinese in Singapore did not recognize it. They can't get on at home anymore. fled to the South Seas. The Manchus treated them as outcasts of the Celestial Empire and never took care of them. This also made the Chinese people not have a good impression of the Manchu government. When the Manchu delegation arrived in Singapore yesterday, there were almost no Chinese to welcome them.

Lin Guodong, consul of Xinhua China in Singapore, led the staff of the consulate. Come to the dock to greet Lin Zihao. The place where Lin Zihao stayed was also in the consulate. As for the hotel prepared by the British, Lin Zihao will not go.

The news that the new Chinese Foreign Minister Lin Zihao was welcomed by the Chinese in Singapore reached the ears of the Governor-General of the Straits Settlements and the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Manchu Dynasty. Governor Bonham's face was a little ugly, although Singapore was a British colony and the center of the British Straits Settlements, but the Chinese who made up the majority of Singapore's population. But their hearts are towards the new country, which will undoubtedly endanger their colonial rule. The Manchu military ministers Wen Qing and Sai Shanga also realized the popular will of the Xinhua Kingdom in Nanyang. Although they don't take these Chinese in Nanyang seriously. But I still felt a hint of worry. After all, on the current battlefield in China, it is still Xinhua that occupies an absolute advantage. Although the Xinhua army did not cross the Yangtze River and attacked northern China. This was a relief to the entire Manchu government. But. The Xinhua army continued to purge the Qing army south of the Yangtze River and consolidate its rule south of the Yangtze River, which made the Manchu rulers feel a great crisis. Once the New China has consolidated its rule over these provinces, will it be possible to drive them out? Emperor Daoguang wants to negotiate this time and recover those territories occupied by the Xinhua army, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

On the evening of Lim's arrival in Singapore, the British colonial authorities only informed the Xinhua side of the time and place of the talks to be held the next day. There is no more to follow. This made the Xinhua consulate in Singapore very angry, and they completely felt the contempt of the British for them.

"Your Excellency. The British are too much of a thing. Yesterday the Manchu delegation arrived in Singapore, and they held a grand banquet at the Governor's Palace, but when the adults arrived in Singapore, they didn't care. It's just too much of a bully! Lin Guodong, the consul of Xinhuaguo in Singapore, said angrily.

"Well, this is just a little trick by the British, and they are cheering up the Manchus! However, they don't hold banquets, we do it ourselves. I invited the more prestigious members of the Chinese of the Xinhua Army to the Consulate for a banquet, and I visited them on behalf of His Majesty the King. Lin Zihao said. Despite the practices of the British colonial authorities, he was also somewhat dissatisfied. However, he suppressed his anger.

"Yes, sir." Consul Lin Guodong hurriedly said. I have to admit that Lin Zihao's method is very good, which can not only resolve the embarrassment, but also further leave a good impression on the Chinese in Singapore. When the Xinhua Army attacks Singapore in the future, it will be easier to get the support and help of the vast number of Chinese.

In the evening of the same day, a banquet was held at the Xinhua Consulate in the Xinhua Army, and the more prestigious people among the Chinese in Singapore were invited. This is the official form of Xinhua invited them to the banquet, and the Chinese who were invited were all flattered. They are just ordinary people, the foreign ministers of Xinhuaguo, but they are big officials. This also made them have a better impression of Xinhuaguo.

When the news of the Chinese Chinese in Singapore was heard by the Foreign Minister of the New China Empire, the Governor of the Straits Settlements, Bonham, the Governor was even more angry. Of course, he can see that this is Xinhua Kingdom harvesting the hearts of the people. It can also be seen that Xinhua Guoguo is obviously ambitious for Singapore. This also deepened Governor Bonham's wariness of the new country. He also believed that it was very necessary to curb the rise of the new country. Otherwise, not only would Britain not be able to continue to expand to the east, but even its original colonies might be taken away by Xinhua.

On June 11, 1843, the tripartite talks on the war between the Xinhua and the Manchus began. The meeting took place in a conference room in the Governor's Palace, and was attended by the British Governor of the Straits Settlements, Bonham, as the moderator of the meeting. On the Manchu side, two people attending the meeting, Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing and Sai Shang'a, and on the Xinhua side, Foreign Minister Lin Zihao and Consul Lin Guodong in Singapore attended the talks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are all able to sit together today in order to settle the dispute by peaceful means and to restore peace to the Far East. War is a great danger for all of us, and only peace is conducive to our development. I sincerely hope that the new Chinese and the Qing will be able to reach an agreement in this negotiation to end this war. Governor Bonham said.

"Thank you very much Your Excellency the Governor for providing the venue for this negotiation, and I will not forget the friendship of the United Kingdom." Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing said. The British support for the Qing Dynasty made Wenqing very satisfied. I subconsciously believe that with the support of the United Kingdom, it will be easy to achieve the goal of negotiations. No matter how powerful Xinhua is, it can't confront the Qing Dynasty and Britain at the same time. After all, the Qing Dynasty was the most populous country in the world, and Britain was the world's most powerful country.

Lin Zihao was expressionless, and the British held this tripartite meeting, which was not easy and kind to Xinhuaguo at all. Xinhua naturally has no need to go to LinkedIn people's love.

"Well, the talks are just the beginning." Governor Bonham said.

The negotiating table was a long table, with the representatives of the Xinhua Kingdom and the Manchu Qing on one side, while Governor Bonham and his interpreter sat at the middle end.

"Lord Lin, this time the Xinhua Kingdom brazenly launched an attack on our Qing Dynasty, seized my territory, and killed my people, which is simply a great rebellion. His Majesty the Emperor is merciful, and he reads that our two countries are of the same language and the same species, and he specially gives permission that as long as Xinhua withdraws from the territory of the Qing Dynasty, we can not blame the past. Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing said.

Lin Zihao, the foreign minister of Xinhua, was a little stunned, but he didn't expect the representative of the Manchu Qing to be so strange. Now that the Xinhua Army has the upper hand, and the Manchus have been beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, it is simply shameless to dare to make such a request.

"Lord Wen, Lord Shang. Especially Master Shang, we met last time in Guangzhou. It's just that at that time, Guangdong was facing a large-scale pressure of hundreds of thousands of Qing troops. I remember that at that time, I told Lord Shang that the Manchu government could not let the people live and work in peace and contentment at home, and even more humiliating the country externally, and it was no longer suitable to lead the Chinese nation. Although the Xinhua Kingdom rose in the South Seas, it made great efforts to govern the country, and its national strength became stronger and stronger, and it defeated Western powers in many foreign wars. In contrast, it is obvious who is stronger and who is weak. It can be seen from this that Xinhua is more suitable than the Manchu Qing to lead the Chinese nation and restore the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties. Therefore, our country believes that the Manchu government should take the initiative to hand over power, and in this case, it will be good for both of us. After Xinhua gained power, it promised not to embarrass the Manchus. After all, after two hundred years of integration, the Manchus are also a member of the Chinese nation. If the Manchu government does not know what to do and what is wrong, it must resist stubbornly. Then we will have to solve the problem by means of war. Lin Zihao said that the bottom line of Xinhuaguo is only to ensure the control of the territory south of the Yangtze River. However, since the Manchu Qing side first put forward unrealistic demands, of course Lin Zihao will also open his mouth.

"You, you're just a big rebel. After I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, I had already achieved the orthodoxy of China. The emperors of the Qing Dynasty all forgot to sleep and eat for the sake of the people of the whole world. You rebellious ministers and thieves, who do not want to serve the country, but take the opportunity to stir up trouble when the country is in trouble, are simply guilty of ten thousand deaths. Wen Qing trembled with anger. As a high-ranking official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how could he bear Lin Zihao's rebellious words?

"Lord Wen, who is the rebel and thief? We are the upright descendants of Yan and Huang. You are the outsiders, although you have stolen the Han family, but now is the time for us to take it back! Lin Zihao replied-for-tat, and he would not back down at all.

"Both, everyone, please restrain your feelings. It's a negotiation, not a quarrel. The Governor of the Straits Settlements saw that the two sides were arguing, and hurriedly persuaded him. (To be continued......)
