A mature politician will not be shaken by other people's words, Ferrero did this very well, only to see him close the fact sheet given to him by the Chinese about the capture of Gro, and blinked quietly, "This sentence of the Chinese is not wrong, Mr. Gong, every region and era has different philosophies, according to the Chinese, our Emperor Napoleon I is certainly not a hero." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"But in my opinion, the emperor of the Chinese is currently considered a hero," Ferrero touched his beard and said, with a thoughtful expression, "In the rebellion in the south, and in the case of our French and British invasion in the north, it can be won such a big victory, it can be seen that there is a very broad mind, of course, Mr. Gong, you can disagree, but I know that a good leader does not need to have all the characteristics of a hero, he only needs to understand one principle, that is, to use talented people where his talents can be used, I heard that the leader in charge of the war against Britain and France was not only the emperor's own brother, but also the empress? ”

"Yes."

"I heard that in China, of course, it is basically the same in France now, women are not allowed to participate in politics," Liszt on the side frowned slightly, "Of course, except for the queen, and the emperor of China can be eclectic, boldly liberate his wife from the harem, and grant rights, so that this ancient country in the East won the victory on the frontal battlefield for the first time, which is not easy." ”

"What do you mean, Mr. Ferrero?" Liszt was a little dissatisfied, why did he praise the enemy at this time, isn't this to hit his morale.

"No, no, no, I don't have a little bit of a good impression of this country, please believe me," Ferrero heard the rumors, His Majesty the Emperor in Fontainebleau was very annoyed when he heard the scandal of Gro being stripped naked and marched, and was already ready to send another army, and it was necessary to make the Chinese bow their heads and admit defeat, but it was not yet time, "I think that for the time being, our two countries cannot draw more troops, we need to treat this opportunity for negotiation rationally and calmly, the important thing is the captured soldiers!" They are the best warriors of our two countries, although they have been framed by the trickery of the Chinese, but they are still well-deserved warriors! ”

"I must remind Mr. Ferrero," said Liszt coldly, and Mr. Gong on the side looked coldly at the heated conversation between the two men, "the great Napoleon I once said: China is a sleeping lion, and when he wakes up, the whole world will tremble. ”

"Yes, but he has one more sentence at the end, and that is: it is sleeping, thank God, let it sleep. So I think it's necessary to keep this lion asleep through the necessary moderation, because it takes pain to wake up, and if we use opium or narcotics, then China will probably continue to sleep and never wake up. After Ferrero said this, he turned his head to look at the Chinese in the suit, only to see that the Chinese in his early forties had long stopped listening to their conversation, but was just holding a wine glass and looking at the huge city gate through the curtain in a daze.

On 28 October, Britain and France entered Beijing, stayed at the Sifang Pavilion, and the next day went to the lobby of the Ministry of Rites to begin peace talks.

At first, Britain and France were quite arrogant, and the American envoy who presided over the peace talks between the two sides, as well as the uninvited Russian minister, both believed that in such a diplomatic situation, it was very impolite for the minister representing the image of a country not to speak to the goodwill olive branch of the Chinese, because the Chinese had taken the initiative to ask for the release of the diplomatic envoys such as Pasha Li and Gro first, and promised to compensate the relevant diplomats for their house arrest and deal with the relevant violators, but the British and French envoys were in the negotiation process of the first three days. He did not say anything during the whole process, but asked a Chinese dressed in foreign clothes to make things difficult for Prince Gong Gui Liang Yidao and others, one meeting asked the Chinese army to evacuate the besieged Elgin and lead the LinkedIn army troops, and gave them food and colleagues to Tianjin, one meeting asked the Chinese to be responsible for paying 10 million taels to the armies of the two countries, and the other time asked the Chinese to release the captured soldiers and severely punish the warmongers who launched a counterattack. It's this second devil talking to himself every day.

Prince Gong inquired clearly, it turned out to be Gong Cheng, the son of Gong Zizhen, the former cabinet secretary and the head of the Ministry of Rites, rushed to Tianjing from Shanghai to act as an interpreter for the British minister, and negotiated with Prince Gong on behalf of the United Kingdom. Gong Cheng's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were all officials for generations, so King Gong had this to say, Gong Cheng said: "We are good people, the road to progress was blocked by you, and we were also deprived of food and clothing by corrupt officials, so we had to beg for food, and now you scold me for being a traitor, but I see you as a national thief." King Gong was speechless for a while. (To be continued.) )
