Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 253 Treaty You Will Get Used to Signing in the Future

"Robbers, you are robbers, damn it, go ask the devil to sign this treaty."

The Russian representative, Ignatiev, angrily smashed the teacup in front of him all over the table.

Wang Xuance, who was standing opposite him, calmly took out a silk scarf and wiped the water stains on his hands.

"Well, since you are unwilling to talk, I believe that when our army arrives in your capital, your king will be very eager to sign this contract with us."

After saying that, she threw down her scarf, stood up and left with her people.

The representatives of other forces present all had gloomy faces.

The Gallic Rooster representative gnashed his teeth and said, "They are simply blackmailing us. Damn it! Whoever agrees to their demands will have the courage of even Satan."

Although the other representatives did not speak, their eyes showed approval.

The Ming Dynasty was too cruel. Listening to all those conditions, I broke out in a cold sweat.

The war compensation was calculated in hundreds of millions, and it was paid in silver.

Not only did they refuse to give up the occupied land, they even forced the other side to take a piece of land from them.

You said if it was just a few kilometers it wouldn't matter, but damn, they asked for hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, this is simply robbery.

In addition, there are various requirements, and the conditions are so numerous that even the most unscrupulous businessmen in the world would feel ashamed.

Everyone looked at the person sitting in the first seat, holding a teacup and looking at him idly, looking very reliable.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm just a mediator. Whether you can reach an agreement or not has nothing to do with me."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the Eagle Country representative and said, "Let me make this clear first. Regardless of whether you have reached an agreement or not, you are not allowed to go back on your promise to me."

One day, the representative of the Eagle Country turned green in the face, and he stood up angrily, slamming the table.

"Damn it, you are the same kind of people as them, all shameless thieves, robbers and hooligans."

Te Kepu shrugged nonchalantly: "Dear sir, if you want to scold me here, you should think more about how to deal with the people of Daming in the afternoon."

After saying that, he turned and left humming a little tune.

He didn't care at all about the anger of these guys, calling them thieves, gangsters and robbers.

Please, when you say these things, can you take a piss and look in the mirror to recall what you did.

When we signed the contract with the Qing Dynasty before, you guys were not such bastards and showed no mercy. You couldn't stand it when they used your methods to deal with you. If you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place.

The morning negotiations ended completely in less than an hour.

Reporters from various newspapers who were waiting outside saw that both sides looked unhappy and it was obvious that they had not reached an agreement.

"Mr. Ignatiev, can you tell me what conditions the Ming Dynasty proposed?"

As soon as Ignatiev and the Russian men walked out of the door, they were stopped by a large group of newspaper reporters.

Ignatiev said coldly: "No comment!"

Then he ignored the newspaper reporters present and left angrily.

And you're still telling people about it. Isn't that embarrassing enough?

Everyone was very curious about the outcome of the negotiations between the two parties, but since the other party didn't say anything, there was nothing they could do. They could only guess secretly and began to use the Spring and Autumn style of writing.

During lunch, Wang Xuance came to a room under the guidance of Te Kepu.

There was a table in the room, with all kinds of delicious food on it, and a girl was playing music and singing nearby.

"Welcome, my friend, the king!"

As the two men walked in, the representative of Eagle Country walked up to Wang Xuance with a smile and shook hands with him.

"Really happy to see you again."

Wang Xuance also replied with a smile.

As Wang Xuance came into more contact with Te Kaopu, he became more familiar with some Western gifts for meeting someone.

Coupled with his extraordinary talent, he was able to communicate in English in just this period of time.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and then took their seats at the invitation of the Eagle Country representative.

"Your Majesty, when I came here, Her Majesty the Queen saw me and told me that there is no conflict between our two countries. It's just some minor misunderstandings that don't exist."

"It was not Her Majesty the Queen's intention to launch this coalition war, but those greedy parliamentarians."

"For this peace talk, our Great Eagle Empire is extremely sincere. If possible, we will no longer pursue the indemnity from the Qing Dynasty, and give up some interests, such as returning tariffs to your Ming Dynasty, as well as various taxation issues."

Before the chopsticks were even moved, the representative of the Eagle Country stated the Eagle Country's conditions.

Wang Xuance knew that Victoria was his own person, but just because she was his own person didn't mean he would give up the country's interests.

In Zhu Zhanjun's words, national interests will not be given up even an inch, unless the entire Eagle Country is under the management of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the interests that should be fought for will never be given up.

Listening to the other party's story, Wang Xuance chuckled, glanced at Tekaopu who was eating beside him, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a peanut and put it into his mouth.

"Sir, I'm afraid you haven't figured out one thing yet. We, the Ming Dynasty, will never agree to the treaty that the Qing Dynasty signed with you."

"We, the Ming Dynasty, are taking back the land we once lost, not inheriting everything from the Qing Dynasty. They are plunderers and shameless thieves."

"What they did has nothing to do with our Ming Dynasty, so the treaty you signed with them is not valid in our Ming Dynasty."

"In this regard, our Lord has emphasized that for the sake of world peace, we can not pursue previous losses, but you must unconditionally give up everything you have gained in Yanhuang."

"Otherwise, I, the Ming Dynasty, don't mind using any means to take back everything that belongs to us."

After saying this, he ignored the embarrassed expression on the Eagle Country representative's face, said excuse me, stood up and walked out of the private room.

"Damn it, are you really here to eat?" After Wang Xuance left, the Eagle Country representative saw that Hu Zihai was drinking very heavily.

"What else?" Tekaopu, with a chicken leg in his mouth, looked at the representative of the Eagle Country in confusion.

Seeing the innocent look in Old Trump's eyes, the representative of the United States was so angry that he slammed the table and turned away.

Soon, Tekaopu was the only one left in the private room.

Taking the chicken leg from his mouth, Lao Te chuckled and turned to the girl who had stopped singing next to him and said, "Don't stop, keep playing and singing. He has already paid anyway."

The girls looked at each other in bewilderment, but when they remembered that the host had already paid and there were still customers, they continued to play and sing.

Listening to beautiful music and enjoying delicious food, Lao Te had a comfortable and entertaining time.

As expected, the afternoon negotiations ended in a bad mood again.

The standards of both parties are simply not in line.

The conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty could not be agreed to, let alone negotiated.

Each one is extremely harsh, to use the words of the representative of the Gallic Rooster.

"Your treaty should be recorded in world history. There is no treaty more stringent than yours in ancient and modern times."

There was even an argument between the two sides. If it weren't for Trump asking security personnel to maintain order, both sides would probably have broken out into a fight.

Finally, with Trump's mediation, the two sides decided to temporarily stop for a few days and discuss the matter again after they calmed down.

“It’s difficult for them to agree to our conditions.”

At night, in the space, Wang Xuance told everyone about what happened during the day.

"There's no way I'd agree to that."

Old Zhu curled his lips and said, "Let alone those who want to accept the treaty, even a bystander like me finds it unreliable."

Li Baishi smiled and said, "It's normal for them to disagree. Unless we threaten their homeland, they won't agree to this kind of treaty."

"But the problem right now is that we don't have the ability to threaten their homeland for the time being."

"With our current military strength, we still lack some strength to achieve this goal."

Zhu Zhanjun, who was sitting aside with his eyes closed, said, "The treaty with the Russians remains unchanged. We will continue to tangle with the Western Alliance for two more days and then come up with a second treaty."

He said to Wang Xuance, "You have to make them understand that the second treaty is our final bottom line. Otherwise, expect a world war."

"They have many colonies in the East. If a war breaks out, they can't afford the losses."

Wang Xuance nodded.

Long before they started negotiating with the Western Alliance, they understood that the Westerners would not agree to this treaty.

So at that time, we made all the preparations and prepared two.

As for the first one, it was also retained. Zhu Zhanjun believed that in the future these Western white pigs would bite the bullet and sign it. It was only a matter of time.

As for the Russians' continued unchanged position, the reason is very simple. The Ming Dynasty has the strength to threaten their local forces, and the Russians have no choice.

Over the following period of time, the two sides held several more negotiations, but each time ended in a bad way.

Trump has been very busy recently, constantly speaking among the three parties, hoping that the negotiations can be adjusted.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Wang Xuance put forward the second condition.

The second condition is much better than the first one.

The Western Alliance was reluctant to agree at first, but after Trump's persuasion and comprehensive consideration, they finally decided to talk.

As for the Russians, they can't do anything about it.

Now everyone has to take care of their own business.

After half a month of negotiations and haggling, the two sides finally agreed on the treaty of Mi Yue for Double Tenth.

Article 1 of the treaty: All treaties signed between Western powers and the Qing Dynasty are hereby invalidated.

Article 2: All major forces' leases will be cancelled, and they are only allowed to retain consulates. No armed forces are allowed to remain, and all forces must abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Once they violate the laws, the Ming Dynasty has the right to conduct trials, arrests, and penalties.

Third: All forces must compensate the Ming Dynasty for the war losses of 8000 million taels, and pay another 5000 million taels to redeem the captured soldiers of various countries.

Fifth: The Ming Dynasty has the right to exempt taxes in some ports of various forces and is not allowed to increase taxes under any name.

sixth:…………

Each agreement was written clearly, and there were more than 30 of them in total.

The representatives of various forces looked as dark as ink, but when they thought of the news they had received, they bit the names on the toothpicks one by one.

Looking at the representatives signing opposite him, Wang Xuance smiled.

The reason why these guys signed so readily was because the Ming Dynasty released the news.

In order to solve the problem of maritime trade security, the Ming Dynasty sent a fleet of warships composed entirely of ironclad ships to patrol the South China Sea and other waters and fight against Japanese pirates.

Dongfang is the biggest trading partner among the Western cities. If they were directly blocked by the Ming Dynasty, they would suffer great losses.

They were also very worried that the Ming Dynasty would use this powerful maritime force to swallow up their colonial interests in Nanyang and other areas.

So in order to ensure that they would not suffer greater losses, the Western representatives finally gritted their teeth and signed the Double Tenth Treaty.

After signing, the two sides shook hands. Wang Xuance said with a smile: "Don't be too sad, everyone. This is the first time, but I believe it will not be the last. I look forward to meeting you next time."
