Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 96 Sino-British Negotiations
"God, how is this possible? That is the Far East Fleet with Royal One and Royal Two. How could it be broken through by the Chinese Navy without warning?? Could it be that those nasty yellow monkeys really have some sorcery? ?” David snarled.

"Now the war in Burma must be ended quickly, otherwise the 20 colonial troops there may be eaten by the Chinese. Anyway, Burma is already in the doldrums, so it is better to transfer the troops to Afghanistan, where they are needed more. If Afghanistan is allowed to be occupied by Russia again Now, the majesty of the British Empire will be extremely challenged." Horton looked nervously at David who was already crazy.

At this time, the French President Hubner, who was meeting with Salisbury, also heard the news that the British Far East Fleet was annihilated in Singapore, and said with a sneer: "Dear Earl Salisbury, your Far East Fleet It has disappeared in the mysterious East, how can I form a so-called Anglo-French alliance with my French fleet?"

"We can continue to mobilize warships from the mainland. Please rest assured of the naval power of our British Empire." Salisbury said angrily.

"Oh, no no no. I don't mistrust you, but we are facing the pressure of the German army of millions. You know that China has military cooperation with Germany. I'm not sure about sending warships to attack China At the same time, will Germany declare war on us?" Hubner analyzed flatly.

In fact, what Hubnell said was just the truth, but it was extremely ironic to Salisbury's ears.Because after China declared war on Britain, Russia also declared war on Britain.

Is it because China and Russia have pretended too well, or their own intelligence agencies are too incompetent.After the fruitless meeting, Salisbury returned to his office disappointed.Bad news came one after another. First of all, the rebellion in Egypt tended to escalate. The Russian cavalry had attacked less than 20 kilometers from the Turkish capital, and Afghanistan had entered a stalemate.Domestic fiscal deficits and enterprises in China have also closed down one after another.

"Dear Sir Salisbury, I don't think it is necessary to continue the war in Burma. Right now we need to put Burmese troops where they are needed, such as Turkey, Afghanistan, and Iran." Horton walked into Sol Zipper's office.

"Mr. Advisor, the French rejected our request. But they seem to have great ambitions for China, and they expressed their willingness to contain the Chinese navy. Do you think it is possible for us to send warships from the mainland to win quickly?" Suo Erzberg still said unwillingly.

"It is absolutely impossible. The current capabilities cannot threaten China. Their four 4000-ton main ironclad ships are not as good as China's two Saxon-class warships customized in Germany. What's more, China has now captured our royal family. No. 20, Royal No. [-]. And when our warships reach the Indian Ocean, our [-] troops in Burma will starve to death if they are not wiped out by the Chinese army." Horton said with a frown.

"Well, it seems that we have lost in the hands of China just like France." Salisbury sighed.

Holden didn't speak, looked at the Mizi flag hanging on the wall and said to himself: "The empire on which the sun never sets does not have the strength to fight on multiple fronts. Tolerate China can teach the barbaric Russians a lesson first. They are in Turkey, Afghanistan, Iran are just too presumptuous."

Salisbury's eyes lit up, and he said leisurely: "Ask an appointment with the Chinese envoy for me, I think they will be happy to have peace talks with us."

The capital city, the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Guan Xuqing was chatting with the queen, maybe only here can remind Guan Xuqing that he is a modern person from the 21st century.

He stared blankly at Queen Jingfen, thinking about how happy, happy, and sad the future generations were when they were with her. Because the future generations could not buy her a house of their own, they fell in love for two years. Neither can marry.But now he only met her once and married her.Is this life's compensation for future generations?Or is it the punishment of future generations for this life?
"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?" Seeing Guan Xuqing staring at her, Jingfen asked shyly.

Guan Xuqing came back to his senses, "Queen, you are so beautiful, I will never tire of seeing you."

Jing Fen smiled lightly and said: "Thank you for your praise, my concubine has a mind and doesn't know whether to say it or not."

"We are husband and wife, so there is nothing to talk about. Come on, tell me." Guan Xuqing picked up the snacks on the table and started eating.

Jingfen licked her lips and said: "The emperor is very grateful to the concubine for his love. But the emperor is not the emperor who only concubine. The emperor has not seen the younger sisters since they got married, and she either stays with the concubine every night or cares about the war in Burma and handles the government affairs all night. The concubine begs the emperor to give more love to the two sisters Qing and Lan."

This world is so crazy, Guan Xuqing actually said such words when he saw his wife in front of him.Let him really feel that he is in the Qing Dynasty, in front of the supreme emperor.

"Um, well, I'll talk to them when I have time." Guan Xuqing almost choked on the snack he just ate.

At this time, the personal eunuch Wang Shang hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Sir Situ, the envoy stationed in England, is calling."

"Oh? Bring it here quickly." Guan Xuqing jumped up from the recliner and took the telegram from Wang Shang's hand.

Looking at the telegram, the corners of Guan Xuqing's mouth rose slightly.He said to Wang Shang who was in front of him: "Let all the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"twitter."

"Queen, I have something to discuss with my servants. Go to bed tonight, and I will talk to you another day."

Guan Xuqing said to Jingfen.

"The concubine obeys the order, the emperor will let sisters Qing and Lan sleep in bed tonight." Jingfen said with a smirk.

Guan Xuqing, who had just walked a few steps, staggered and almost fell.Halo, there is such a wife!
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Prince Gong, Prince Jin, Weng Tongsu, Peng Yulin, and Li Zhen have all arrived.They all knew the reason for summoning them. The British couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to take the initiative to negotiate peace.

At this time, Guan Xuqing hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Good luck, Your Majesty." The crowd cheered.

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Guan Xu glanced at them and said, "All the ministers, do you know why I asked you to come here today?"

Li Hongzhang was the first to stand up and said: "I speculate that it was the Yingyi Far East Fleet who came to beg for peace after it was completely destroyed."

"Hahaha, that's right. But it's not that I defeated Britain in the Qing Dynasty, but the problem of Britain itself. They have too many colonies, and it's hard to guarantee some civil strife or something. And Russia is constantly dividing the interests of their colonies , That’s why I gave up on Myanmar. I summoned you today just to hear your opinions, what should I ask the British this time?” Guan Xuqing said excitedly.

Prince Gong thought for a moment, and said: "I believe that we should return the customs duties of the Qing Dynasty, and return the colonies of Hong Kong and Kowloon. The besieged troops in Burma also used silver to redeem them, and compensated me with 1000 million taels of silver from the Qing Dynasty. as military expenses."

Guan Xuqing nodded in satisfaction, and said: "I have to admit that Myanmar is my territory of the Qing Dynasty. After all, Britain is a superpower. The current Qing Dynasty is far inferior to him, so I have to save him some face. There is no need for compensation. We just need to return the indemnities from the two Opium Wars.”

Weng Tongsu was taken aback when he heard this, and the compensation of 1000 million taels was unimaginable.Return the reparations from the two Opium Wars?How much money would it cost? If the British were anxious, it would be a waste of money to come and fight the Qing Dynasty with all the national mobilization.

Hastily said: "Your majesty is wise, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty is still unable to compete with the British, and I think that it is still not possible to confront the British. As long as the British return Hong Kong and Kowloon, give up customs duties, and recognize Myanmar as our Qing Dynasty.

All instantly.It would be best to have compensation and the like, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it. "
