Yixin and Zeng Guofan didn't know that Chris and Padopan had already sold themselves in the blink of an eye, for Yixin, who got a positive answer from two people, His Majesty the Emperor was still happy, happy......

Three days later, the mediation talks between the four countries resumed operation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, it was completely different, the Qing Dynasty was in one camp, Tsarist Russia was in one camp, but Britain and France united to form a third camp, which completely complicated the situation.

"Lord Zeng, are you satisfied with the gift we gave to your country in Jiangdong a few days ago? What do you think? How did you think about the conditions I gave last time? ”

Crowski asked with a sneer.

Zeng Guofan's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "Crowski, you Russians don't go too far, cause the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people, even if you gain a momentary profit, you will not escape justice!" Minister Chris, Minister Pardopan, please both of you to stand up for justice! ”

Chris replied lightly: "Crowski, this time your military operation is too much, slaughtering civilians in other countries, this is unreasonable even in all countries, if your country does not make concessions, I think we will never stand idly by, and on behalf of the British Empire, I also demand that your army must stop attacking!" ”

Claufsky was stunned, he didn't expect that Chris was really going to intervene, and the wind direction had completely changed!

"Chris, you don't have a fever, do you? The affairs of our Tsarist Empire, and at the same time did not harm the interests of the British Empire, why should you take care of our Tsarist Empire? This is the Far East, not Europe, and even less the Atlantic! ”

Crowski expressed his serious displeasure to Chris!

"Crowski, this matter, your country is indeed too much, alas, the slaughter of civilians and prisoners is something that no country can tolerate, it is spurned by all countries in the world, and now our imperial government is also under pressure from the people to intervene in the Sino-Russian war! The Russian army must retreat to its pre-war position, and at the same time the two sides negotiate to stop the war! Otherwise, we in the French Empire will not be able to stand on your side......"

Padopan sighed and replied.

Originally, because of the tense relationship between Prussia and France, France is now reluctant to offend the Tsarist Empire, after all, it is easy to push Tsarist Russia into the arms of Prussia, but now Yixin and Zeng Guofan are willing to exchange more than 100,000 square kilometers of land in exchange for the threat of Tsarist Russia, I have to say that Napoleon III was tempted and directly ordered Padopan to interfere in the peace talks.

Padopan's current task is to be as silent as possible while the Tsarist Empire turns its face, but Tsarist Russia retreats in the face of difficulties, and the interests of the three families are equally shared, and in the end it is only the Qing family that suffers, as for Britain, France and Russia, they just take what they need.

Originally, Crowski was not worried, even if the British and French ministers expressed their dissatisfaction with him, it didn't matter, in the Far East, the Russian army had an absolute advantage, and no country could face the offensive of 200,000 Russian troops alone; However, now, Claufsky is feeling great pressure, Britain and France are under pressure from one country, and Tsarist Russia will not care, but Britain and France are under pressure at the same time, but they can't help but care, it seems that two countries, this is to protect the Qing Dynasty to the death!

"Chris, Padopan, the two of you are too wide, our Tsarist Russian Empire dispatched 300,000 troops, and after more than a year of preparation, there is a situation where today's large army is approaching the Far East, you said let us give up, we gave up? Is it possible? ”

Crowski said in a low voice.

Zeng Guofan snorted coldly: "What's impossible? Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, and your Tsarist Russia is full of evil and sinful, do you really want to risk the condemnation of the world? ”

"Risking the world's disapproval? Hmph, what if we risk the world's condemnation? As long as there are enough interests, it is not impossible to be an enemy of the sky! If you want us to withdraw from the Far East like this, when nothing happens, it will be more than heaven! ”

Crowski growled.

Chris said impatiently: "Claufsky, you say, what should I do, you will withdraw from the army?" Show the conditions, don't go too far, you have already slaughtered tens of thousands of people and Qing soldiers! Is it really going to attract everyone to attack it? ”

"This ......"

In the face of the tough intervention of Britain and France, Crowski is still a little weak in his heart, even in the face of one of the countries of Britain and France, the Tsarist Empire is more defeated than victorious, not to mention the interference of two countries? You know, how did the Crimean War fail in the first place? Didn't Britain and France send troops together to defeat the Black Sea Fleet of the Tsarist Empire and the Russian army?

Crowski gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, since this is the case, then we demand compensation of 10 million taels of silver for the military expenses of our Tsarist Russian Empire, and cede the entire northern part of Heilongjiang and the eastern part of Heilongjiang to us, then we will promise to withdraw our troops!" ”

"No way!"

Chris said coldly, it's a joke, I gave the land on the east bank of the Heilongjiang River to your Tsarist Empire, so what benefits can our British Empire get? 、

"Your conditions are too harsh, don't say that the Great Qing Kingdom will not accept it, even if Patopan and I represent Britain and France, they will not accept it!"

Crowski was angry and yelled, "Chris, what do you want?" ”

Chris replied: "The compensation of 10 million taels of silver can be considered, but the land east and north of the Heilongjiang River, you must hand it over!" ”

"No!"

Zeng Guofan hurriedly said: "Mr. Chris, 10 million taels of silver, where can we get 10 million taels of silver in the Great Qing Kingdom now?" We will never be able to agree to this condition! ”

Chris frowned and said unhappily: "Lord Zeng, the Russians have mobilized 300,000 troops, prepared for more than a year, traveled tens of thousands of kilometers, and spent a lot of money, so do you just let the family go home empty-handed?" Didn't that family lose their wives and soldiers? Who wants to? If you don't make concessions, then Padopan and I really have no way to intervene in this matter, and we will withdraw from mediation and let you fight to the death with the Russian Empire! ”

"Not bad!"

Padopan echoed: "Lord Zeng, we are willing to help you morally and solemnly condemn the Tsarist Empire, but, whether it is war or negotiation, it depends on strength, in the case of the absolute superiority of the Tsarist Empire, you do not give Tsarist Russia a certain amount of compensation, how can we let the two of us promote you to resolve the dispute peacefully?"
