Chapter 1047

"Peace is the most important thing? Well, what is your Excellency Earl Rodriguez said? Harmony makes money. Our two countries have cooperated for many years, and we have always exchanged what we need. Is this a model of peace is the most important thing? I think we should be able to It is the one who advances hand in hand, my lord, what do you think?"

Seeing that the person who popped up was Count Diego Rodriguez, envoy of the Kingdom of Portugal, Hong Qing's face was tense, but suddenly he relaxed, and he nodded amiably, as if he really understood what Count Rodriguez said. There is an infinite sense of approval.

"Naturally, this..., ah, respected Your Royal Highness, our six countries are representatives of European countries, and we will advance together and retreat together. I believe that His Royal Highness will definitely reach a consensus agreement with our European countries to jointly safeguard the world. peace."

Among the envoys from the six countries present, if the person who said he was least willing to fight against the Qing Dynasty must be Count Rodriguez, there is no one else. Because of the Portuguese Da Agassi, the shareholder of the Guangzhou Shipyard, the Qing Dynasty’s overseas trade At the beginning of the establishment of business relations with the Portuguese, the trade volume between each other has always accounted for the largest proportion. In other words, the Portuguese earned the most money from the Qing Dynasty. Only by importing gold can the Portuguese rise again and become the second most powerful naval power in Europe. In this sense, the Portuguese really do not want to have friction with the Qing Dynasty. It was jointly initiated by the four great powers of the Netherlands, and it also engulfed most of the countries in Europe. Even though the Portuguese were unwilling, they did not dare to go against the current, and could only follow the trend helplessly. It can be seen in the coping attitude.

"World peace? Hehe, if this king heard correctly, Earl Wilson mentioned such a word before, and now His Excellency the Earl also said the same thing, then I don't understand, did my Qing Dynasty invade other countries, or You have done something very harmful to nature, and you have to mention it to the king so repeatedly, how about the Earl, please give me an explanation?"

Hong Qing knew that there would be a fierce battle with the Western powers sooner or later, so naturally she would not neglect the collection of intelligence. Although limited by the means, the information that can be obtained is generally limited to the Nanyang area. As for the intelligence of Europe, it is only sporadic. It's just news, it's far from a deep understanding, but the general situation still has some concepts, so naturally I won't believe the nonsense that all European countries are united. After he passed the checkpoint, he laughed coldly and held on to Count Rodriguez.

"Well……"

Count Rodriguez was not very willing to make enemies with the Qing Dynasty in his heart. After hearing the translation from the interpreter, Dang even was dumbfounded for a while, and didn't know how to answer Hong Qing's question.

"His Royal Highness, this question should be answered by me. A few years ago, your country brazenly sent hundreds of thousands of troops to invade the Junggar Khanate, killing countless people. The Khanate and our Great Russian Empire have always been close and friendly. The Russian Empire was not resentful of your country's atrocities, and resolutely sent troops to resist the violence, but it was brutally murdered by your country, and even took advantage of the fire to rob us. From our Great Russian Empire, we have seized hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land. Thinking about it until now, it is still outrageous!"

Count Rodriguez remained silent, but Russia was making Grand Duke Alexei Peter Petrovich come alive, but when he saw his head raised, he was filled with righteous indignation and accused the Qing Empire of " atrocities".

"Presumptuous, bold and lunatic, dare to turn right and wrong into black and white, are you trying to deceive me?"

When Grand Duke Petrovich said these words, the envoys from all countries nodded their heads. Obviously, they all sympathized with Grand Duke Petrovich's words, but they annoyed Rong Zhu, the deputy envoy of the Qing Dynasty, but seeing him slam the table, Already yelled and cursed unceremoniously.

"Master Rong doesn't need to be like this. Talking about big things with a robber is really a waste of energy. Let's just bark like a dog."

When Rong Zhu was so angry, the envoys from several countries immediately started making noises, accusing the Qing side of having lost their diplomatic decency, and their voices were as noisy as a vegetable market. The words of waiting, but Hong Qing didn't care, but when she saw that she pressed her hand, she commented casually.

"Your Majesty's words are very kind, you should fully understand them!"

Hearing Hong Qing's words, Rong Zhu's anger immediately dissipated, and he clapped his hands with a big laugh, ignoring the ugly faces of the envoys from the six countries, and shouted hello loudly.

"I protest, Your Royal Highness, you can't insult my Great Russian Empire like this. Are you declaring war with our country?"

Since Peter II came to power, the Russian Empire has tried its best to rectify its armaments, and has continuously transferred troops from Europe to the Far East. It has long had the idea of ​​​​fighting the Qing Dynasty again, but I just want to think about it. I really didn’t have the guts for a while, until the Kingdom of Great Britain came forward At the time of this joint action against the Qing Empire, Peter II had already made up his mind and secretly ordered Grand Duke Petrovich to try his best to sabotage the talks, so as to form a sea and land encirclement and suppression of the Qing Empire by European countries, so as to re-establish the Great Russian Empire. The purpose of regaining the dominant position in the Far East is precisely because of this, Grand Duke Petrovich is not only not angry because of Hong Qing's vicious words, but is secretly happy. Of course, he is happy, but he will not miss this provocation It was a great opportunity, but when he saw his arousal, Pai roared in anger.

"Protesting is invalid. If you want to fight, you can just accompany me. As for you, please go back and tell the emperor of your country how many soldiers and horses you have sent. I think the country is short of labor, and you are welcome to send more. Free labor, well, you can go, come, see off!"

Hong Qing has never had the slightest liking for the rascal old Maozi. As for the declaration of war he issued, Hong Qing doesn't care at all, even if this is not the best time to go to war, but if you really want to As far as the weapons and equipment of the Qing Dynasty have been updated to the third generation, only one unit of the Third Group Army stationed in the Northeast is enough to deal with the less than [-] so-called elite soldiers that Lao Maozi deployed on the Sino-Russian border. Therefore, in the face of Grand Duke Petrovich's protest, Hong Qing's attitude was extremely tough, and it could even be said to be unreasonable.

"twitter!"

All the guards of the palace had fought against Lao Maozi, so they would not have the slightest affection for Grand Duke Petrovich. After hearing Hong Qing's order, they immediately agreed to the promise, rushed forward, and stood up. Picking up the two chief and deputy envoys of the Russian mission, they were about to drag them out.

"His Royal Highness, wait a minute!"

The envoys of various countries are all diplomatic elites, and they have long been accustomed to the fake gentlemen who open their eyes and talk nonsense in diplomatic situations. This kind of behavior of driving people away at the slightest disagreement, even if they were all dumbfounded on the spot, seeing that the two Russian envoys were about to be taken out in such a mess, Earl Wilson, who was the first to react, was in a hurry He quickly stood up, shouted loudly and stopped.

"Ok!"

Hong Qing's tough attitude itself is just a gesture, and it doesn't mean that Grand Duke Petrovich must be driven out. Now, since Earl Wilson has emerged, Hong Qing is happy to give him some face, but seeing him First, he waved his hand and said softly, stopping the tugging of the guards, then his face turned serious, he looked at Earl Wilson very sternly, and said in a cold voice: "Your Excellency, do you have any questions, eh? "

"His Royal Highness, our six countries have come here with sincerity in order to conclude an agreement of eternal friendship with your country. Presumably this is what your country wishes. In this sense, the relationship between you and us The interests should be the same. Of course, there will be some small conflicts. If you think that what Grand Duke Petrovich said is wrong, you can refute it with evidence. Everyone present is a diplomat. Naturally, there will be a fair judgment. Forcing people out seems to be against etiquette, why don't we all sit down and discuss slowly?"

The relationship between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Russian Empire is actually not very good. In the past half a century, there have been many confrontations. The reason why the Russian Empire is brought to the Qing Dynasty this time is important, and that is The Russian Empire borders the Qing Dynasty, and there have been several border wars between them. The plan is to use the Russian Empire to check and balance the Qing Dynasty. In this sense, even if Earl Wilson doesn't like the old man, he must not sit idly by Peter Grand Duke Rovich was driven away by Hong Qing just like that. Even facing Hong Qing's cold face, Earl Wilson could only bite the bullet and talk nonsense.

"Your Excellency Earl, please forgive me for not agreeing with you. Right and wrong are not what the six countries say. It is not up to you six countries to judge my actions in the Qing Dynasty. If Your Excellency the Earl holds such an attitude Come to negotiate with the king, then there is no need to talk about it, please come back, as for whether it is peace or not, hey, although my Qing Dynasty loves peace, it has never been afraid of war. Where do you go? Your Excellency the Earl Make your own choice, and I will accompany you to the end!"

Earl Wilson's kind words sounded fair, but in fact they were full of evil intentions. Such nonsense can only be used to deceive the uncivilized Indians in North America. It is obvious that it is true to show it to Hong Qing. I found the wrong target. Today, with the powerful military equipment of the Qing Dynasty, I am not afraid of any threat of war. Not to mention that the main forces of the Western powers are all in Europe, even if they are all transferred to the East, the Qing Dynasty has absolute strength to defeat everything. The enemy who dared to attack, because of her confidence, Hong Qing didn't show Earl Wilson any sympathy at all, and ruthlessly refuted what he said to the point.
