It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Seven years ago, Queen Xingzhen of Tifa Kingdom,

He declared war on nine powerful countries in one breath, showing his domineering attitude!
Since the Queen wants to fight, the great powers will not tolerate it.

They quickly formed a coalition and landed on Tifa to have a fierce battle with the Ti army!
I won't mention the series of small battles that took place in the early stages.

The most crucial decisive battle took place at Shili Bridge outside the capital, where the colonial army of the eight thousand powerful nations deployed their forces.

(Note: In the colonial army, except for the officers who are foreigners, the vast majority of soldiers are indigenous residents of the Hiss continent.)
When the enemy is at the gate, loyal ministers will be revealed in times of crisis!

The most capable prince of the royal family, Green Monk, stood up.
He personally led more than 60,000 elite infantry, plus more than 15,000 grassland nomadic cavalry who were good at riding and shooting, to Shili Bridge to confront the coalition forces.

In the eyes of Queen Xingzhen and the important officials in the court,

The ratio of troops between the two sides is close to ten to one. I have the advantage. I can wipe out the foreigners in a few minutes!
So, he ordered an attack.

According to Tifa's traditional tactics, Green Monk received the order.

Immediately send out orders for the cavalry on both wings to quickly outflank, and for the infantry group in the center to charge.

Seeing his men cheering and their horses neighing, he was inspired to write a poem:
"The army rises up and the clouds fly, the foreign devils are running for their lives, they are all killed in half an hour!"

Suddenly, Greene observed,
Several fire points flew out from the center of the coalition army formation, shooting at the Tifa cavalry attacking on the left and right wings respectively.

Damn! What the hell did the foreign devils do?
However, the fire fell to the ground,

"Boom!"
Then several huge fireworks rose up, the sky collapsed, the earth cracked, and sand and rocks flew everywhere.

As we all know, animals are afraid of fire and loud noises. The horses around the explosion were frightened and fled in all directions.
Green was startled, but then calmed down.

Just a few of them are not enough to stop the iron hooves of Tifa's cavalry...

However, the next moment, dozens of fire points flew out from the coalition formation again, landing accurately on the cavalry formations on both wings.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The next moment, dozens of light spots rose into the air.

After five rounds of bombing, the invincible Tifa cavalry was thrown into chaos and the offensive was forced to pause.

Seeing the cavalry's failure, Greene was furious.
However, he firmly believed that 60,000 well-trained infantrymen could still easily defeat the foreign devils who were pretending to be mysterious!
When the judges and soldiers, armed with swords, spears and shields, launched a tidal wave of human attacks,

The sky changed color, the earth trembled,
Tifa's five thousand years of mighty power is bound to sweep away all snakes, ghosts, bulls and gods!
Unexpectedly, the coalition forces brought out ten rotary machine guns, loaded with ammunition belts, each with 250 rounds of ammunition.
Ten machine gunners pressed the firing button almost simultaneously.

"Thud, tug, tug, tug, tug..."

Ten metal fire lines, like ten sickles of death, cut back and forth among the densely charged Tifa infantry.
"Puff puff puff puff puff puff..."

Tifa's most elite warriors fell in rows and pieces.

But they still continued to charge fearlessly under the sword of the supervision team...

"Thud, tug, tug, tug, tug..."

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff..."

A row of well-built young warriors fell, and the next row continued to push forward, seemingly endlessly...

So heroic!

So brave!

Green was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

What a good soldier!

What an obedient soldier!

They are sons of farming families, they are national heroes, and their reputation will last forever!

After we defeat the foreign devils, I will definitely erect a monument for them here so that future generations can use you as an example!

But his tears were not yet dry.
The soldiers charging forward were frightened by the pile of corpses in front of them...

Oops!

What magic did the foreign devils use?
This, this is not right. What's the difference between going up there and committing suicide?
No, I don't want to die...

But there is a supervisory team behind...

Forget it, just lie down quickly, your life is the most important!

So, the smart ones pretended to be shot and lay down.

When all the foolish young men were beaten to death, the smart ones behind them also fell down.

Green monk almost got his nose crooked with anger...

Mahler's diva, you coward, get up here!
"Kakaka..."

Ten rotary machine guns, all fired through a full belt of ammunition, spinning idle.
Green Monk's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Second echelon, charge!"

So, the second 10,000-man Tifa infantry squadron,

Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, he rushed up.

However, the coalition machine gunner opened the magazine cover,

The loader on the side inserted the new belt into the magazine.
The shooter lowered the cover and slammed it down with a "bang!"

He pressed the launch button again casually.
The Grim Reaper once again raised his black, bloody sickle high in the air...

"Thud, tug, tug, tug, tug..."

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff..."

The 10,000-man Tifa army that charged forward fell down in rows again like ripe wheat being harvested...

Among them was a young farmer named Xun.

His eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the blue sky and fluffy clouds...

Ah! It's as beautiful as the one I saw in the village...

It was as if I was back to the clear stream at the entrance of the village, and the girl from the neighboring village named Xiaofang... Are you doing well in your hometown?

The fall of Xun Ge'er and countless other Xun Ge'ers did have some effect.

The destruction of the two 10,000-man teams finally made Tifa's top general, Green Seng, realize that
The foreign devils are real tigers... This war cannot be fought.

If he continues to fight, he will be left alone... No, he will definitely be shot in the back by his own soldiers!

So, as the whole army collapsed and fled,

He was protected and surrounded by a dozen loyal servants.

He abandoned his army and fled back to the capital like a stray dog... and saved his life!

Needless to say, the colonial army won a great victory with zero casualties!

When cleaning up the battlefield, the coalition forces sent military doctors and nurses to treat the wounded soldiers of the Tijuana Army.

After counting, more than 5,000 Typhoon soldiers were killed on the battlefield.

Over 10,000 people were wounded, both seriously and mildly. Within three days, over 2,000 people died of their injuries.

At this time, the commander of the coalition forces sent a letter to Her Majesty Queen Xingzhen.

"Your Majesty, where do you want to go?"

Xingzhen, who had a strong character, raised her eyebrows and opened her eyes wide, and replied:
"Tread on the coalition forces and crush the iron ships!"

The commander of the coalition forces wrote back: "What if you leave and never come back?"

Queen Xingzhen was furious and angry for a while.
"Let me think twice!"

There are definitely not many fools who can be kings.
Fighting is impossible, so... Tifa has always been a country of etiquette and harmony is the most important thing!

Queen Tifa and the court shamelessly withdrew the declaration of war and begged for peace from the coalition forces.

The coalition forces that claim to be civilized people stopped when they saw the opportunity.

Killing is not the right path. Let's sit down and talk about everything. After all, making money in business is the first priority!

After friendly negotiations, Tifa paid 450 million taels of silver as compensation to the great powers.
Uh, why so many?
Because the commanders of the great powers learned arithmetic by kindergarten teachers... A Tifa only needs to pay one or two taels of silver as compensation. Is it a lot?
Xingzhen cried, and all the civil and military officials in the court cried.

The four hundred and fifty million people of Tifa Kingdom cried heartbreakingly!

The annual income of the Kingdom of Tifa is 8000 million taels of silver.

It is already difficult to support so many princes, nobles and corrupt officials... How can we compensate them?

The proud queen couldn't afford the money, so she shamelessly asked for payment in installments.

The commander of the coalition forces was very generous.

As long as the interest is calculated, Loupabu is in tears!
After another round of friendly negotiation, the total amount of silver, including principal and interest, was 980 million taels of silver, to be paid in installments over 39 years!
The Golden Horde had the biggest appetite, receiving 28.97% of the compensation.

Why?

Because they sent the most troops, and sent hundreds of thousands of troops alone, occupying a large area of ​​Tifa's territory,
This typical rogue and hooligan attitude of "taking advantage of your illness to kill you" is something that even the great powers cannot tolerate.
Commander Yingjisha said with emotion:
"After shaking hands with the Golden Horde, always count your fingers!"

Of course, in addition to war reparations, the great powers also obtained "consular jurisdiction" and "the right to station troops", which is the origin of the "foreign world".

This incident directly led to the Kingdom of Tifa becoming a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.
In order to pay the indemnity to the foreign powers,
They exploited the people and made the lower classes of society suffer like beasts of burden...

In order to shirk responsibility and shift the blame, the court deliberately spread the news and directed the suffering to the great powers...

Therefore, the ignorant Tifa people hated the foreigners more and more day by day.

Because of these huge bases,
Radical groups like the Red Fist Society or Zoroastrianism can be ignited and grow rapidly...

huh~~
It's really tiring to look up information. I can't do it anymore. I need to take a breath and rest for a while...

Lu Yuan said calmly:
"I can promise that among the five major maritime tariffs in Tifa,
The share originally borne by Far East Customs will be made up by local commercial taxes and profit taxes.”

After hearing this, the three foreign business representatives breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Shen Beixuan abides by the established rules, there is room for negotiation.
They are most afraid of meeting ignorant and fearless young people.
What a bunch of bullshit about "debts are wiped out when one dies"...

As long as Shen Beixuan is honest and abides by the rules, he is a good comrade!

Then, the politically clear Jidong County would not experience too much turmoil.

Meanwhile, millions of people in the Far East were able to continue their normal production and life.

From this perspective, it is equivalent to protecting the core interests of the merchant groups of the great powers to the greatest extent possible.

The two sides happily concluded their first negotiation.
Given the seriousness of the matter and his curiosity about Shen Beixuan, he might not be completely reassured.
Accompanied by Judy, the three representatives went to Qilabang for a field investigation and observation.

When bidding farewell, Lu Yuan told his mixed-race future daughter-in-law,

"There are only two things. First, the personal safety of the three representatives must be guaranteed.

Second, the inspection and observation process is open and transparent! "

Judy was a little uncertain: "What if they come into contact with the prisoners of the Red Fist Society?"

When the Red Fist Society members were being reorganized, some of the leaders and backbone members who had aroused great public anger,

Those found guilty according to the Ti Law were imprisoned, with death row prisoners awaiting execution in the autumn.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, let them see what they want."

"Well, okay!"

Judy, accompanied by more than ten strong bodyguards, escorted three carriages and sped away.

During the break, Elizabeth had a liking for Judy.

After all, this girl is of mixed race, with half foreign blood, and soon, the two sides called each other sisters.
Elizabeth asked tentatively:
“Although the Red Fist Society changed its name to the Red Gate Society,

I'm afraid the prejudice against 'foreigners' won't change so quickly, right?"

Judy patiently explained:
“In fact, most of the Tifa people are warm and hospitable.

However, they do not have much knowledge, and are very simple and kind.

Without knowing the outside world, it is easy to be deceived and bewitched by people with ulterior motives...

However, the new "Red Gate Society" and Zoroastrianism have been reborn from the ashes.

They eliminated radical ideas from the doctrine and strictly prohibited behaviors that violated "public order and good morals".

The believers are basically focused on "persuading people to be good" and no longer target foreigners, so you don't have to worry."

Ximen Ubei asked:
"I heard that there were 30,000 to 40,000 Boxers at that time.
You have less than 10,000 men in the siege of Qilabang.
There was no unified command, so how did they win the battle?"

At this point, Judy was obviously very proud.

"Well, we have to mention Chairman Shen.
At the beginning, people were confused and no one had confidence...

It is under his leadership that we...

In this way, we finally defeated the strong with the weak and completely defeated the Red Fist Society..."

Barov and Simon listened with great interest.

However, Elizabeth was keenly aware that there was a happy smile in Judy's eyes.
With a woman's intuition, she determined that
There must be an extraordinary relationship between Judy and Chairman Shen...

In fact, under the influence of the idea of ​​"natural civil rights",
Westerners have already come to a general consensus on "equality between men and women".
Be open to love and marriage.

Well, "open" is positive, it doesn't mean "promiscuous".
For example, when in a relationship, if they are compatible, they stay together, if they are not, they break up. Basically, they will not cling to each other.

Marriage is based on the Vatican's "monogamy" and polygamy is considered an immoral act.

Moreover, after marriage, the woman not only has independent property rights, but can also file for divorce at any time.
Of course, there are also many cases of cheating or having affairs.

However, this kind of thing is not exclusive to women, nor is it exclusive to foreigners.

According to the philosophical point of view, "the possessiveness of the opposite sex" belongs to the underlying logic of universal human nature.

Therefore, in the eyes of foreigners, "cheating" and "extramarital affairs" do not fall within the scope of the law.

At noon the next day, the delegation walked and stopped.

We successfully arrived at the eastern outskirts of Qilabang City, and the silhouette of the city was vaguely visible.

The wooden frame with the words "Boxers" nailed to it on the road has been removed.

The reason given by Lu Yuan was that it was "unsightly and preventive to diseases", and the eight-member board of directors passed it by more than half.

These corpses were eventually collected, cremated, and buried in the Qila Public Cemetery... Ashes to dust, history has turned a page!
Why did the foreign inspection team stop?
Because, two groups of ragged farmers were arguing fiercely on the roadside.

The three foreigners were very curious.

Isn’t it said that Qila has a clean political system and simple folk customs?
Finally I see the civil conflict.
Although it's not a big deal, but, we can see the big picture from the small part...well, yes, we can see the big picture from the small part!

The vast majority of conflicts in rural areas are nothing more than about water sources, boundaries of mountains, forests, farmlands, family matters, etc.
Therefore, the two parties are arguing over the ownership of a small forest.
“How will they resolve it?”

Judy said: "In the past, it was resolved by 'village fighting', the winner got everything and the loser got nothing."

Elizabeth nodded and asked, "What now? Or the same as before?"

"No! According to the civil administration election system, each village has at least one town-level representative.
If conflicts arise within the same village, the village representatives will mediate. If mediation fails, the village will file a lawsuit in the town.
If they are from different villages, the two village representatives will negotiate. If the negotiation fails, they will go to the town to sue.

However, 70% to 80% of the disputes can basically be properly resolved through the coordination of the people’s representatives…”

Elizabeth asked, "Are there any 'representatives' here?"

Judy waved her hand, and a guard immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

Soon, two bewildered farmers came to the front of the inspection team's car and greeted Judy in unison:
"Hello, Master Nine!"

Judy smiled and replied:
"Hello, these are Chairman Shen's foreign guests.
They want to know the specific situation, and you just need to answer whatever they ask. "

When the two representatives heard that they were Chairman Shen's guests, they immediately became respectful.

"Okay, okay, what do you want to ask, foreign guest?"

After Elizabeth understood the basic situation, she asked, "How do you plan to coordinate and resolve the forest land dispute?"

The two representatives looked at each other and said, "We plan to..." (End of this chapter)
