V. Beijing Treaty (V)

Gui Liang unfolded his statement and glanced at the British and French ministers, only the ministers of the two countries were calm and concentrating, and even Hua Ruohan, the originally irrelevant American minister, stood up, and his eyes were blazing, what kind of surprise would the father-in-law of the Chinese prince throw out.

Gui Liang coughed matter-of-factly, "In order to enhance friendship with foreign countries and strengthen the construction of coastal defense in the Qing Dynasty, it is specific to order a number of large ironclad ships and a number of small ironclad ships from Western countries", and when Gong Cheng stammered and translated clearly, the three ministers couldn't help jumping up, and suddenly surrounded Gui Liang, who was still reading out the article, Hua Ruohan listened to Gong Cheng's translation, his eyes were wide open, staring straight at Gui Liang, the French minister Ferrero gasped, his eyes kept flashing with golden eyes, Only the British round-faced minister still took great pains to pin his hands behind his waist and walked in the courtyard, but his hands behind him were twisted together, and he laughed silently when he reacted to the minister's reaction, and then he really knew what these foreign devils wanted......

"It is estimated that within five years, it will be necessary to purchase warships worth 10 million taels of silver every year, and not less than 1 million taels of silver for the training of naval non-commissioned officers." After reading it, Gui Liang saw the envoys of the three countries speak loudly, and he knew that this plan was effective, so he smiled and said, "The strength of China's seas does require several offshore fleets to defend the Beijing Division, so this is 10 million per year, just an estimated amount, if it is genuine, it is estimated that it can increase the subscription by 50% more every year, cough cough, this matter has been entrusted to Mr. Hua Ruohan to buy on his behalf," Hua Ruohan stood up straight and saluted towards Gui Liang's chest, "But now that Britain and France have put forward their opinions, we in the Qing Dynasty cannot discriminate equally, That's it. ”

Minister Ferrero hurriedly took the lead in speaking, blocking Hua Ruohan's words, only to see Ferrero said eagerly, "Mr. Scholar, I want to make it clear to you that our France has no intention of hostility to China at all, and we have carefully and meticulously investigated the incident related to Father Ma last time, and Father Ma himself has a big problem, and he has not obeyed Chinese laws in China, and we are ready to let the church expel him from his position in Christianity, and we fully respect China's decision to execute Father Ma." ”

Prince Gong interjected, "By the way, regarding the matter of mission, this king must emphasize one more point," although the envoys of the three countries were already panicked at this time, out of politeness, they could not interrupt the speech of the plenipotentiary minister of the Chinese negotiations, so they could only listen patiently, "This king has obtained the letter of approval, and our emperor of the Qing Dynasty has allowed missionaries from all countries to enter our China mission," the envoys of the three kingdoms were simply stunned, what happened to the Chinese? "However, there is one thing, as Mr. Ferrero said, all those who join our Chinese missionary must first report to the Yamen of Taichang Temple, abide by Chinese law, and then they can preach, and we can discuss relevant matters again, but Mr. Hua Ruohan, the American minister, has reached an agreement with us as soon as possible, and probably in January next year, American missionaries can go to Jiangsu to preach."

France, which originally launched the war against China under the slogan of sainthood and war, was even more relieved, if he could obtain the right to preach in China conveniently and freely, His Majesty the Emperor would have reason to block the mouths of those fanatics who clamored to give color to the Chinese, and he would be able to write a glorious article in the history of Christianity, Ferrero thought that the big order of 10 million taels of silver a year did not need to be taken all, and this cake was eaten with such a kick, and the Emperor Napoleon, who was ready to show his strength on the European continent, could use silver! Thinking of this, Ferrero couldn't help but feel hot, and waited until Prince Gong stopped talking, and hurriedly picked up, "We in France also need the right to preach freely, of course, Your Majesty, our French warships are very mature, and you, of course," Ferrero said cheekily, without the slightest embarrassment, "You, in this war, your country has no ability to resist our fleet, of course, I believe that as long as the Chinese soldiers accept the excellent training and guidance of our France, On the ground of the Far East, it must be second to none, and there is no rival! ”

Hua Ruohan jumped up, "We America and China have a long friendship, and the Chinese also work hard to promote the two of you invaders to sit down and talk well!" Moreover, His Majesty has already negotiated with us, the United States, and is ready to hand over the purchase of naval construction to my agent, and I personally and the US federal government, and even Mr. President Lincoln, express great indignation! Hua Ruohan stared at Ferrero with red eyes, not a fool knows that he can sell the equipment of warships that are eliminated in the country and are ready to be updated to China, and he can earn a lot of money, and now President Lincoln is more than enough to deal with the southern slave owners who are about to move, God, the Virgin Mary, this time I came to China is really the right one!

"A bunch of idiots!" An angry voice rang out. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for the recommendation ticket, your support is my biggest motivation. )
