Fang Tangjing was already getting ready.

They didn't care if Taylor was an envoy of the British Empire, just a word from Chang Wei would instantly make him a dead soul under the sword.

"Wait, His Highness King Xia, just wait a moment."

Taylor, who was still tough just now, was instantly stunned after hearing Chang Wei's words.

It can only be said that this kind of situation has not happened for many years, so I was a little caught off guard.

"Our Majesty the Empress is here to make good friends with His Royal Highness King Xia, and it is not a war of words. Please think twice."

At this time, Taylor was extremely humble and kowtowed all the time.

As an envoy, Taylor naturally has some background information.

The Queen's instructions were very clear, even if they couldn't reach an agreement, they would never fight lightly.

But now that it’s good, the two countries are about to go to war without saying a word.

Upgrading to such a big matter is not up to Taylor.

If this is really the case, returning to England will not be far from death.

Chang Wei was not moved at all, but instead asked, "Didn't you just say that your warships from the British Empire will sail to this king's port?"

Taylor's nervousness was fully revealed on his face, and the sweat dripped down like rain.

Finally, after calming down for a while, the deep voice spoke.

"His Royal Highness King Xia, this is the first time I have come to Huaxia, and I don't understand the rules, please forgive me."

While speaking, Taylor took out a list from his pocket.

This is the gift list that the empress gave Chang Wei.

At first, Taylor didn't take Chang Wei seriously.

But now, he believed that the man in front of him would kill himself, the emissary, without hesitation.

After all, even such a thing as a war between the two countries can be easily decided, and it is not an impulsive move.

"Besides, here are some gifts that I personally honor His Highness."

Although his heart was bleeding when he took it out, Taylor still took out all his family assets.

Compared with life, everything else seems unimportant.

"Oh?" Chang Wei pretended to be puzzled, and asked Fang Tangjing to take the gift list and read it.

Fang Tangjing has been with Chang Wei for so long, and has seen a lot of things.

Even so, I was still shocked when I opened it. .

Chapter 524

Fang Tangjing has been with Chang Wei the longest and has seen a lot.

If it is just some ordinary things, it will definitely not catch the eyes.

But now, his eyes widened and his mouth trembled a little.

"My lord... my lord... this..."

It lasted for more than ten seconds, but Fang Tangjing still didn't say a word.

Chang Wei immediately understood.

It seems that the gift Taylor brought this time is indeed very rich.

Involuntarily, I also had some expectations in my heart.

"Hand it up."

Chang Wei and Fang Tangjing waved, and then took the gift list in their hands.

The things recorded in it immediately caught Chang Wei's eyes-.

"Three steel-armored battleship models, 36 new-style cannons, 3000 new-style carbines, a total of [-] million taels of gold and silver..."

After reading it, Chang Wei was dazzled.

These things are currently the most scarce.

Now that Changwei is said to be the king, he must be in the same position as the Qing court.

In any case, the war is imminent.

Recruiting troops has become the most important thing right now.

But isn't all these needs money?

To put it bluntly, as long as he has money, Chang Wei has absolute confidence to destroy the Qing court and replace it.

For Chang Wei now, these things are really a timely help.

But Chang Wei also knew clearly that there would never be such a cheap advantage in this world.

Taylor must have come with his own ambitions, and as for how, he also has some details in his heart.

"Hehe, your empress is also polite. If you have any conditions, just say it. My king doesn't like beating around the bush."

After Chang Wei finished speaking, he returned to the throne and sat up.

Taylor was relieved to hear Chang Wei's tone softened.

This was the first time that he acted so embarrassed in front of outsiders that even Chang Wei opened his mouth, but he still didn't dare to get up.

The cruelty just now is vivid in my mind.

"The king of Han, the empress has said that the Qing emperor was corrupt and unreasonable. He repeatedly rejected my business request from the British Empire, seriously threatening us..."

Before Taylor finished speaking, Chang Wei interrupted him again.

"The point is, the same thing, this king won't say it a third time."

Looking at Chang Wei's cold gaze, Taylor didn't dare to speak any more.

But he also knew that the ink marks would only make him suffer more.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "The empress also wants to join forces with the King of Han to destroy the Qing court. After that, our British Empire only needs to claim the 36-year lease of the [-] coastal cities."

It sounds like this request is indeed very good. If it is in a few decades, the Qing emperor will definitely agree.

But Chang Wei knew their faces.

Not to mention the future, as far as the present request is concerned, he will not accept it at all.

The destruction of the Qing court is inevitable, and there is no need for outsiders to intervene.

What's more, in the world, there are unwritten rules, as long as you occupy a place for a hundred years, it will become your own territory.

The Emperor's wishful thinking was well done, but unfortunately Chang Wei also understood this truth.

No matter how tempting the conditions offered by the Emperor are, Chang Wei will never make any concessions on this point.

You can see that Chang Wei's face has become cold, and he looked at Taylor and said, "I think you made a mistake, destroy the Qing Dynasty. My Han family is enough, so why use the power of outsiders."

"Your British Empire is in full swing now, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you."

Taylor obviously hasn't understood what this means. You must know how many countries are trying to borrow the power of the British Empire, but they have not succeeded.

Could it be said that now that Chang Wei wants to establish a new dynasty, he doesn't want to rely on his own strength?

But these are not important, the most important purpose of my visit this time is to open the treaty port.

As for the 100 years, it is not just talk.

Prior to this, the concession between the United Kingdom and other countries will become its own territory after a hundred years of agreement.

According to the information obtained from them, Zhonghua Xia knew very little about the outside world. I am afraid that this point is not very clear, which is why Taylor was able to say this.

After all, these dozens of treaty port cities are no joke, and they will all be the first big cities to develop in the future.

The reason why the Qing court did not accept it was because most of the Manchu courts were pedantic and did not know how powerful foreign ships and guns were.

Coupled with their blind arrogance, thinking that today's world still belongs to the hegemony, it led to such arrogance.

"Han Wang, don't worry, these conditions are negotiable."

Taylor spoke quickly, but Chang Wei had no desire to listen at all.

"You can take all of these back, but you have to remember one thing, those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away."

Here, Chang Wen didn't just talk about his own territory, but the whole of China.

Even though he and Man Qing are in opposition, once someone wants to get involved in the land of China, Chang Wei will not hesitate to deal them a heavy blow.

Because these are all China's internal affairs, and no one else is allowed to get involved.

From the very beginning, Chang Wei had to draw these boundaries.

After finishing speaking, Chang Wei waved his hand and issued an order to chase away the guests.

......... 0

Fang Tangjing also understood very well, and immediately asked the guards to hold Taylor down.

Although he still had a lot to say, Chang Wei didn't give him this chance at all.

After he left, Tang Jing also said regretfully, "My lord, these foreigners are really generous."

It can be seen that Fang Tangjing was moved by the gift brought by Taylor.

In fact, not to mention Fang Tangjing, even Chang Wei himself was moved.

Possessing these things can allow oneself to develop stronger power in an instant.

Before this, the army developed rapidly, and now it is not afraid of foreigners, but at sea, it seems a bit stretched.

After all, Chang Wei is not an omnipotent person, so he is still a little bit negligent about building warships.

Among the gifts that Taylor brought just made up for this defect.

But Chang Wei laughed and said, "Why is it a pity? We should be happy about the gift in our bag."

After listening to Fang Tangjing, he was immediately taken aback. He had clearly rejected it just now. Could there be something else to say?

For Chang Wei, Fang Tangjing only obeyed unconditionally, and did not dare to ask more questions.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing him like this, Chang Wei said: "You have to remember one sentence, China's internal affairs will never allow other foreigners to interfere, and how can we spit out the things that have entered our pockets?"

After speaking, he revealed a wicked smile.Four.

Chapter 525

Immediately, Fang Tangjing understood that the condition was not agreed to them, but the gift could be accepted.

Among other things, after leaving these things, if the foreigners don't want them, it's fine, and if they want them, they can give them some other things in exchange.

Of course, the so-called exchange was nothing more than a perfunctory act, and it was impossible to expect to take advantage of Chang Wei's hands.

In the following days, Chang Wei kept Taylor in the cold, ignoring their requests for a meeting.

In any case, the current enemy is still the Qing government.

Even if it really angered Britain, so what.

In a real fight, there is no fear at all.

Even if they can't take advantage of the sea, the British army will definitely not be able to fight on land.

After receiving Taylor's congratulatory gift, Chang Wei did not dare to sit still, and immediately recruited craftsmen to start building the warship according to the model drawings.

On the other hand, they also began to rectify their troops with great fanfare.

Outside the four provinces, the Manchu Qing government has dispatched 15 troops to Chen Bing's border.
