"Presumptuous, jumping clown, how dare you be so rude!"

"Bold rat, extremely arrogant!"

"Damn things!"

……

The officials of the Qing Dynasty had always disliked Lao Maozi, and because they had just beaten Lao Maozi on the battlefield a few years ago, psychologically, they were already in a high-level attitude, so how could Petrovich be tolerated? The Grand Duke uttered nonsense on such occasions, no, just after the translation of the interpreter stopped, the officials of the Qing Dynasty began to scold enthusiastically.

"Ah."

Hong Qing was not in a hurry to stop the anger of the officials of the Qing Dynasty, but the old god sat on the ground without moving, until the scolding of the officials of the Qing Dynasty stopped for a while, then raised his hand, neither salty nor indifferent He let out a loud voice, stopped the commotion of the crowd, then raised the corners of his mouth, showing a scornful smile, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he looked at Grand Duke Petrovich, who was almost getting angry from embarrassment, and said coldly: "Your country It's easy to calculate, thinking that you have the support of other countries, you dare to come to my Qing Dynasty to be arrogant, it's really brave, but your country seems to have forgotten one thing, hey, if you can't get it on the battlefield, don't even think about it at the negotiating table Yes, as for the friendship of your country, I am not rare in Daqing, if you want to fight, then see you on the battlefield, as long as your country dares to fight, I will accompany you to the end!"

"Humph!"

After listening to the interpreter's report, Grand Duke Petrovich's face suddenly turned purple and black like a pig's liver, but he didn't have the courage to declare war with the Qing Dynasty, and he didn't even dare to speak out to refute it, so he could only hum in resentment It's over.

"Everyone, I'm sorry. Our country has decided not to negotiate with the Russian Empire. If you insist on going together as one, this negotiation will come to an end, and you can all return home."

Hong Qing glanced coldly at Grand Duke Petrovich, but instead of scolding him, she looked around at the envoys with different expressions, and announced solemnly.

"His Royal Highness, please rest your anger for a while. Is everything negotiable? If you are not satisfied with the terms proposed by the Russian envoy, you can postpone the discussion for the time being. You and I should return Let’s move on to the previous topic, what does His Royal Highness think about Count Carlos’ proposal?”

As soon as Hong Qing's domineering attitude came out, the envoys from Spain and other countries did not dare to take it easy for a while, and their eyes immediately focused on Earl Wilson. Seeing this, Earl Wilson had no choice but to come forward It's nothing to worry about. The navy of the Kingdom of Great Britain is certainly strong, and the army is not weak. Unfortunately, the main force is all in Europe. Even if you want to mobilize it, it is not an easy task. The main force still has to rely on the Russian Empire to go all out, and he can't just sit back and watch the Russian Empire be kicked out of the list of negotiators.

"Your Excellency, if my Qing Dynasty asks your country to open the ports of Birmingham, Liverpool, and London, so that my Qing merchants can freely trade in your country, will your country agree?"

After listening to the interpreter's report, Hong Qing did not answer Earl Wilson's question directly, but asked back with a cold expression.

"His Royal Highness, I don't quite understand what you said. Hasn't our country opened the Temasek port? As for the countries present, they have also opened many ports in their respective territories. Our sincerity has long been placed There should be no doubt about it.”

Hearing Hongqing's request, although Earl Wilson's face remained calm, there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes. One was because Hongqing was so familiar with several famous ports in Great Britain, and it was obvious that he was not the same for the Kingdom of Great Britain. I don’t know, both of them are also a headache for Hongqing’s request. Not to mention, although the Kingdom of Great Britain does not prohibit ships from European countries to trade in the British Isles, they all have corresponding quotas, and they are not merchants from various countries. You can do business at will, and this is not the key point. The most terrible thing is that the products of the Qing Dynasty are not only abundant but also of high quality. If the market of the Kingdom of Great Britain is really opened up, not only the East India Company will immediately fall into the predicament of bankruptcy. The national economy will also be strongly impacted by the goods of the Qing Dynasty, and this is obviously not a consequence that Earl Wilson can afford. It is impossible for Earl Wilson to agree to this, but it is not easy to directly oppose it, so he can only It was a trick of secretly changing the concept.

"Your Excellency, please don't change the concept secretly. The open ports you so-called are just the territories of other countries that have been forcibly occupied, and they are just colonies of your country. Let's not talk about whether your country's occupation is legal and reasonable. Speaking from the colonial ports, it can be seen that your country has no sincerity at all, and what face does it have to make such demands on the king? Moreover, my Qing Dynasty has no shortage of goods owned by your country, but my Qing Dynasty’s products are not. It is what your country needs, if you want to make a deal, then go ahead as usual, otherwise, don’t talk about it.”

As soon as Earl Wilson's sophistry came out, Hong Qing's face immediately darkened, and she unceremoniously pointed out the error of what Earl Wilson said.

"His Royal Highness, I find it difficult to agree with your statement. Every inch of my territory in Great Britain was bought with the blood of soldiers. It is recognized by the international community and is naturally legal. Anyone There is no denying that!"

After listening to the interpreter's report, Earl Wilson's face turned red like blood, and he could no longer maintain his original polite posture, but when he saw his blushing and thick neck, he protested.

"His Royal Highness, please don't make fun of such serious issues. Otherwise, you will challenge the entire international community."

"That's right, Earl Wilson is right. The reason why we and other countries can have territories is because of the blood of warriors from their respective countries. We must not allow others to disagree."

"Your Highness, what you said is too much. We came to Daqing with great sincerity. What you say is undoubtedly a great harm to the friendship between your two countries."

……

The reason why the Western powers are strong is that they plundered the colonies without integrity. Without the overseas colonies, the European countries are nothing more than tiny places, no matter how strong they are, there is a limit. When Qing spoke out and questioned the legitimacy of the overseas colonies of various countries, the envoys of various countries immediately became chaotic and protested incessantly.

"Challenge the international community? Hehe, what a big hat. According to your words, whoever has the biggest fist and wins the fight can take over the territory of other countries as he pleases. Is this king not mistaken?"

Hong Qing's original intention was not to discuss the collapse of the western powers prematurely, not because she was worried that her own military equipment was not strong enough, but because the handover of the regime was imminent and the opportunity for combat was immature. However, as soon as the five-port trade agreement proposed by Carlos Piles Gonzalez was announced by the Spanish Kingdom, Hong Qing was keenly aware that the Western powers might have started to do wars before the war. Unless the Qing Dynasty can agree to the harsh conditions of the envoys of the six countries, otherwise, war is inevitable. In this case, Hong Qing gave up the temporary peace plan that he had drawn up earlier, and simply He let go of his hands and feet, and unceremoniously exposed the cruelty of the Six Kingdoms.

"His Royal Highness, if you insist on saying that, we can only express regret."

Earl Wilson, although he has always been polite and extremely particular about etiquette, is actually extremely arrogant in his bones. In his opinion, as long as the powerful navy of the Kingdom of Great Britain goes, there is nothing that cannot be done. Words were used to persuade Hong Qing, but her tactful attitude immediately turned into a tough one, and the threat of war was blatantly issued in the words.

"Your Excellency, you don't need to express regret, but you should feel sorry. One day in the future, whether it is your country or your Excellency, you will regret forever for making a wrong decision. I believe this day will come soon. Yes, you might as well wait and see."

Hongqing has never been a person who is afraid of war. On the contrary, as early as the establishment of the "Eight Banners Firm", Hongqing had foreseen the inevitable war against the Western powers, and had already done all kinds of preparations. At this sensitive moment of the handover of power, Hongqing is still not afraid of the threat of war from the Western powers.

"Since His Royal Highness is so persistent, it seems that there is no possibility of negotiation between you and me. I propose to end the negotiation here. Please allow me to leave now."

As soon as Hong Qing's extremely tough words came out, Wilson also immediately realized that there was no need to continue the negotiation between the two parties, and he didn't want to waste any more time, so he stood up and politely proposed to end it. The meaning of negotiation.

"Of course, we will send troops to escort you back to Tianjin Port tomorrow. Please leave our territorial waters of the Qing Dynasty immediately after boarding the ship, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Your Excellency the Earl and everyone, please leave. delivered."

Anyway, the war was inevitable, and Hong Qing didn't bother to chat with Earl Wilson and the others, and didn't want to give the envoys of the six countries any illusions, so he issued the order to expel the guests without any explanation. Not at all polite.

"Farewell!"

Hearing that Hongqing sent troops to escort him and left the territorial waters of the Qing Dynasty within a limited time, Earl Wilson, who had a high self-esteem, was so angry that his eyes were filled with gold stars. He took a deep look at Hong Qing, then turned around, and strode towards the gate of the garden. Seeing this, the representatives of other countries didn't stay any longer, and followed them away in disorder. Negotiations ended in vain...
