Chapter 105: I'll Leave If I Lose Money
"Looks like you're still afraid of death. He Xuan laughed and put down his palm: "For the sake of your sweating with fright, I won't kill you." If you're not scared right now. I'll kill you with my hand. ”
"I don't like people who pretend to be calm in front of me. ”
When Sir Alexander heard this, his face immediately changed. He could only be glad that he was really scared just now, so he saved this way. And after such a fright, his thinking immediately became confused, and the original prepared rhetoric was all messed up.
"Actually, if the British want me to leave, it's fine. Although the scenery of the UK is good, it is not my hometown after all. He Xuan drank a glass of milk: "However, the British government needs to compensate me." ”
"I could have settled the Qing court a long time ago, because the entry of Britain and the other seven countries into the war delayed a lot of warplanes. The British and the armies of the other seven countries also killed and wounded a large number of our Taiping troops. These are all compensated. In this way, I don't want to lose too much, let's lose 50 million silver. ”
Why come here to ask for money.
To put it bluntly, poor!
No way, who called the previous dynasty a big loser like the Manchus.
It's a sad day.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty successively paid how much money the Western countries to, tens of millions of taels before, and asked the Eight-Nation Alliance to deal with He Xuan It took 80 million taels, plus the messy compensation, and also paid the customs, and the Manchu Qing successively compensated the Western countries, and it was estimated that they lost 200 million taels.
However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's fiscal revenue for a year was only 20 million taels.
It is equivalent to saying that the Manchu government will not eat or use, and it will take a total of ten years to afford to lose so much.
If you remove food, it will take at least a few decades to save such a family fund.
Their compensation method made the Dali Dynasty, which was now founded by the Taiping Army, extremely poor.
Sir Alexander's eyes were directly stunned: "You want compensation from our British government?", he felt that he had heard it wrong, Britain is now the world's first power, and the sun never sets on the empire. Britain is now terrifyingly strong.
There have always been only other people who have lost money to the British.
Britain has never lost anyone else's money.
So, Sir Alexander's feeling is incredible.
"That's not a lot of money. He Xuan blew lightly: "Now we are negotiating, if it is an actual hand-to-hand fight, you don't know how many casualties you will have to lose, and in the end there will obviously be more than that." You'd better think about it. ”
Although Sir Alexander was frightened by He Xuan just now, he was a knight of the British Empire after all, and he shook his head: "Impossible, really impossible." We are the number one power in the world, and it is impossible for us to compensate you for a silver tael. Queen Victoria asked me to bring a message. If you don't honestly withdraw from it, we in Britain will be attached to force. ”
"We are the most powerful country in the world. ”
"We have an army of 600,000 on our own soil. Each one has muskets. ”
"There are hundreds of thousands of troops out there. ”
"Emperor of China, you are very strong. However, there is a limit to your strength, and the time that you are invulnerable and bullets cannot penetrate is only forty minutes. For the remaining twenty-four hours, you are still vulnerable. ”
"Her Majesty Queen Victoria, I advise you to think again. ”
"It's good for you and I'm good for you. ”
"Huh. He Xuan sneered immediately: "What is good for you, I am also good." And to your Queen Victoria, if they do not compensate fifty million taels of silver. The battle is settled. I came to see if the British army was enough for me to kill. ”
When Sir Alexander, seeing that the talks were not successful, he could only stand up and walk away: "Emperor of China, our British Empire is absolutely not disgraceful. ”
"Huh. If I hadn't asked you to bring the words, I would have beheaded you right now. ”
When Sir Alexander heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he remembered that his life was still in the hands of this man. At the moment, he didn't care about showing his toughness, and fled directly.
He himself was a valued minister of Queen Victoria, and immediately after the conversation here, he went to the palace of England. Reveal what He Xuan meant.
And the British Empress Victoria over there, and her ministers, heard the news and couldn't help but be furious.
"We, the world's first empire, do not accept any extortion. ”
"Let's fight, then. ”
"I don't believe that consumption doesn't kill him. ”
Soon, Queen Victoria issued an order, and she called people to gather an army of 300,000 to deal with He Xuan. These 300,000 troops quickly concentrated towards London.
Queen Victoria also sent a war letter to He Xuan, and she was going to fight a decisive battle in London.
There was also a heated discussion among the people.
"Yes, just knock him down. ”
"The emperor of a small and savage country dares to provoke our British Empire. ”
"An army of 300,000 is not a piece of cake to deal with him. ”
When the 300,000 troops gathered together and arrived at the place agreed on the war book, the 300,000 army was really like a cloud of battle flags and a rain of battle spirit, which was simply terrifying.
An army of 300,000!
Countless rifles.
Thousands of machine guns!
There are also new weapons that are being tested and have not yet been released.
This time, the British government was really annoyed.
They want to destroy He Xuan.
Now, it depends on when He Xuan comes.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, on the opposite side, a person slowly walked by.
This man, dressed in green clothes, with six swords and a hat, resisted the wind and snow in London.
This appearance is very strange to the British, and it is also very exotic.
However, it also made these British people immediately understand that this person was not someone else, but should be the current enemy of Britain, the emperor of China, and the lord of the Taiping army, Hong Tianguifu.
It is also the reason why Queen Victoria recruited so many people this time.
Seeing He Xuan appear, Britain's 300,000 troops cheered. Haha, no matter how strong he is alone, how can 300,000 people fight, and he can be hugged to death.
After killing this man, no one will dare to challenge the majesty of Britain!
Long live the empire on which the sun never sets!
......
He Xuan raised the hat on his head and saw the 300,000 people in front of him. It's just dense, and it's a terrible amount of it. This time, there were far more enemies against the enemy, and they were stronger than all the previous battles.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a great battle in the capital, and 300,000 people also participated in the war. But it's basically with cold weapons.
During the Song Dynasty, the opponent was an army of more than 100,000 people.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the real army of the Qing court only had 100,000 firearms, and after being defeated by himself in the battle of Duwan Island, there were not many troops. In the end, the 300,000 troops who crossed the Yellow River were all new soldiers, who had never experienced the battlefield, were very tender, and they were crushed in a fight.
And now, the right 300,000 are real veterans, basically all of whom are battle-hardened soldiers. Moreover, these soldiers had the best firearms. Rifles, machine guns and much more.
In this battle, there are so many opponents, and they are tired to death.
