Chapter 230: Blackmail in Progress

After carefully searching the burned wreckage in the ruins of the secret room, Daryl determined that the wreckage of at least one of the military radio stations had been taken, and that the heat-resistant materials did not appear at the scene of the fire at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Daryl and Mia returned to the hotel and reported the situation to Tempuz.

"Could it be that Huo Yuanjia took away the wreckage of the radio station, otherwise why did he happen to disappear at this time? You must know that there were British soldiers around the ruins of the clinic at that time, and not just anyone could approach it. John spoke his mind.

"Probably not, Huo Yuanjia's wife is still staying with us. He values his family very much, and he won't leave his wife without making a sound. Mia said.

"Maybe it's because he values his family so much that he left with the wreckage of the radio station. His father is still alive, he has siblings, and if someone is holding these relatives hostage to threaten him, it is not surprising that he left with the wreckage of the radio. Daryl knew that there was an idiom called loyalty and filial piety, and he was most afraid that Huo Yuanjia would encounter such a thing.

Before the five of them could figure out anything, Ogner came to the door again, and he hurriedly introduced the old fox's willingness to pay for the damage. The British were also anxious, seeing that the advantage of the footbasin chicken in the battle was becoming more and more obvious, and forced the Qing court to make a foregone conclusion. It's not a good idea to provoke the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty at this juncture, this kind of barbaric food scene after the war is not a gentleman's elegance, whoever has the bigger fist will get more points. You can't let the Great Song Dynasty get any reason to increase troops in the Far East, at least not let them increase their troops in the Far East before they fight with the polar bears.

"I think Master Li is willing to accept a claim of 200,000 taels of silver." Ogna directly told the old fox the hole cards he had told him, and he showed impatience to reach a settlement.

"Mr. Consul, the compensation of 200,000 taels of silver will not silence the belligerent gentlemen in the Great Song Council." Tian Buzi was not satisfied with the old fox's hole cards.

If he only burned the medical equipment and disinfection equipment he made in the clinic, the compensation of 200,000 taels of silver would be acceptable, well, of course, it was the mental damage that accounted for the lion's share. But he lost more than that, a high-power radio station of the American military system was also burned in this man-made arson case. That's not 200,000 taels of silver that can afford to pay, this kind of radio is a real control material, and one of the resistors in it can only be replaced if Zhao Yi signs it. Now that the whole table has been burned by the people sent by Cixi, the old witch, Tian Buzi feels that it is not easy to explain if he does not blackmail five or six hundred thousand yuan.

"600,000 taels of silver, one less copper plate, then wait for the fleet of the Great Song Royal Navy to bombard Dagukou." However, Mr. Consul, after the arrival of the Great Song Fleet, we will give sufficient time for the evacuation of overseas Chinese. Tian Buzi lied, and even he believed it, as if there was a Great Song fleet that could anchor at any time and go to the Far East Seas.

"Six hundred thousand taels, I see. I think Master Lee will accept our new proposal. Ogener took his leave when he heard Tian Buz's offer, convinced that there really was a fleet of peaches waiting to be picked overseas, waiting for an excuse to rush to the Far Eastern seas at any time. As a successful diplomat, he wants to avoid this kind of thing.

When Ogna rushed to the Zhili Governor's Office to tell Lord Zhongtang about the latest compensation offer, the old fox was so angry that he almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood. We burned down your clinic in the British Concession, but you also blew up three holes in my house and kidnapped important members of the imperial court. Paying you 200,000 taels of silver can be regarded as very sincere. It's better for you to come directly to a lion and open his mouth, and directly raise the reserve price by three times, and no one can recognize it.

"Lord Li, even if the Great Song Dynasty does not send the Royal Navy fleet, there are many ways to put you in a more disadvantageous situation in the war with Japan. In the unfortunate event that such a situation occurred, the British Empire would be supportive of any retaliatory measures taken by the Great Song Dynasty, since the attacked Song personnel had previously reported their identities as diplomats to the British Concession authorities. Attacking diplomats is a grave crime in our civilized world, and you already experienced the consequences of that in 1860. "The British, just like in the history of the original time and space, forced the old fox to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki in Chunfan Tower, forcing him to respond to Shimoda Buzi's demand for compensation.

"The stakes are very high, and this matter must be reported to the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother Lafayette before making a decision." Li Hongzhang threw the pot to the two who were far away in the Forbidden City.

Li Hongzhang originally planned to scrape together some money to fish out Rong Lu, but now the amount of compensation is completely beyond his budget, you must know that he now has to pay back the money for the bombing of the ship every quarter, which is worse than the 21st century Nair house slave, and the bank will at least not smash the wall of your house in a fancy way. He didn't provoke this in the first place, he can't afford to carry this pot, let the mother and son who play in the nest fight every day carry it. As for Rong Lu, Lao Tzu will ask someone to neglect protection, so as to trap the important members of the court in a dangerous place, is it possible that this pair of wonderful mothers and sons really dare to go to their own positions in this stall!

When the old fox's telegram was put on the desks of Guangxu and Cixi, the precious porcelain in the Forbidden City suffered again.

Although Lord Zhongtang made it clear in the telegram that Yingyi claimed 600,000 taels for arson, the strange mother and son knew in their hearts who the lion was opening his mouth for. The telegram also mentions that Rong Lu, who was in the governor's palace, was abducted by "foreign speakers" and his whereabouts are now unknown. Guangxu and Cixi thought that this pseudo-Song and this Yingyi had really become a nest of snakes and rats, in addition to blatantly asking for compensation for the pseudo-Song, Yingyi also secretly used military power to help the pseudo-Song get angry, and this day could not be lived.

The 60th birthday did not make a big scene, and Cixi didn't have a good face last year, and she wanted to teach this pseudo-Song leader who was misleading the public a lesson, but she was slapped hard, and this old face hurt so much that she was worried. The old witch couldn't swallow this breath, even if the old fox made it clear that the money was for Yingyi, the anger in her heart would not be reduced by half at all. actually used the ten years of Xianfeng when she ran away with the first emperor without shame to threaten the imperial court! In vain, you still claim to be orthodox in China, and your adults have never taught you not to hit people in the face.

The adults in Tian Buzi's family have been lying down for no reason, and our children haven't mentioned the incident of your home being burned, isn't it just bragging and bragging, scaring the British, blame me!?
