Fales certainly knows about the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing this, he was dumbfounded - still a stranger from Kaiyuan of the Tang Dynasty? Why didn't you say that you fought against Chiyou with the Yellow Emperor?

He said angrily: "Based on national strength, our British Empire should be at the top."

Even though it’s just a small seat, once it’s published in the newspaper, its meaning will expand infinitely.

People at this time attached great importance to newspapers.

Zhao Chuanxin said disdainfully: "Okay, let's compare our national strength. From now on, the land you split up for me will be called Zhao Chuanxin's Concession. I am a country per person, and the per capita GDP is not too much for you. It is calculated as 5 million."

Let’s count the dollars. Which country among you can compare?”

After robbing the Japanese money and adding in compensation from various concessions, in early 1908, Zhao Chuanxin's "output value" was almost as low as 5 million, if not more.

How to compare?

Seeing that Fareis was speechless, Zhao Chuanxin pointed at the reporter: "Hey, what is that "Hankou Chinese and Western News"? Why don't you take pictures of you waiting for the banquet to start?"

The reporter was obedient and clicked...

Sheng Xuanhuai rubbed his chin.

Sheng Xuanhuai said with a smile: "Look at how grand he is. He has already passed such a young age, and he is still angry?"

Even though Sheng Xuanhuai sometimes acted like a child's play, in reality, during that period of history, who among the weak was a shameless person who took advantage of others?

Zhao Gongrang? Is this Faleisi?

Sheng Xuanhuai took the opportunity to secretly glance at Du Lifang. When Du Lifang nodded slightly, I smiled warmly and said, "What a coincidence, this is not the land you want."

I recognized Sheng Xuanhuai, but I was as fearful as others. Instead, I let out a warm snort.

Du Lifang said in French: "Mr. Zhao, I am Du Lifang, Consul General of France."

According to my opinion, that is enough. I have cut a lot of land, lost a lot of money, and my husband has gained enough face.

As soon as Zhao Chuanxin said this, Zhang Renjun, Xiaobanov, Frankie, Yuan Xiaotou, Mr. Zhao, Fales and others all looked at me, as if they were looking at a staff.

.

However, the expressions of Zhang Renjun and Zhao Chuanxin changed slightly.

Sure enough, as soon as the dry old man stepped back, he saw Sheng Xuanhuai.

Yan Jianshi politely but hesitantly refused: "The treaty signed at the time stated very vaguely that both parties must exercise their rights within the road sections they built respectively. Now that your French Concession has not destroyed the roads, you do not have jurisdiction."

..."

Fales was extremely angry in his heart, but like other junior officials in the Qing court, I was accustomed to being angry and speaking out.

That has something to do with me.

"..." Yan Jianshi remembered the purpose of coming here, coughed, and turned his eyes to Zhao Chuanxin: "Come today, I would like to ask your country to return the French Concession and build the road across the border to Xiaozhimen Station, and return to the French Concession."

When Yan Jianshi saw this, he smiled happily.

I took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to compensate for the various expenses incurred in building roads, maintaining public security, providing lighting and road administration services, but the roads must be returned."

We don’t play that kind of word game that seems so outrageous as to be ridiculous.

Haha, I asked the weak to cede territory and pay compensation, but now the negotiation table has become a battlefield for the game between the few parties, which is not interesting.

Sheng Xuanhuai knocked on the table: "Hey, hey, what's going on? This road has been yours before, so we need to argue. Zhao Chuanxin, after noon, you need his answer, otherwise you will regard him as a declaration of war."<

/p>

Although there is no difference between that and my plan, and I have become the tiger skin for others to make Xiaoqi, but even so, the meat still has to be rotten outside my own pot first.

Sheng Xuanhuai: "..."

While Yan Jianshi was scratching his head, no one left the conference hall and said to Yuan Xiaotou: "The Governor of Huguang, Fareis, has arrived."

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin had something else to say, but Yan Jianshi, the Belgian Consul General in Han, suddenly said: "Yes, absolutely yes."

Sheng Xuanhuai was stunned.

I haven’t figured out the situation yet.

Zhao Chuanxin was willing to show off his strength, and said with his nostrils pointing to the sky: "In this case, the 'Resolute' and the 'Entrecasteto' of the French Far East Fleet are rushing from Sijiang to Hankou. Please be responsible for the consequences!"<

/p>

I thought of running to Huguang to become governor a few years ago.

Sheng Xuanhuai asked Yan Jianshi enthusiastically: "Why should he stand for her in the French Concession?"

"Zhao Erxun, please take a look." Zhao Chuanxin took out a map of the French Concession: "From the official land, it is eighty feet away from the railway in the west, which is 147 meters long. It is adjacent to the German Concession in the north, and it is directly connected to the German Concession.

It leads to the official land eighty feet away from the railway, and leads directly from the Russian-French border in the south to the official land eighty feet away from the railway in the wall. In 1902, it was set up as the New French Concession. The Qing Dynasty also attached it to the French Concession.

I donated 3 feet of the foundation of the city wall, 5 feet of official land inside the wall, 5 feet of official land inside the wall, and 6 feet of moat, all of which were included in the French Concession. That part will be used as your reservation. The part of the old concession,

You plan to set aside one-seventh for him."

Sheng Xuanhuai glanced at Du Lifang secretly to see if Du Lifang's expression had changed, but Mr. Zhao next to me shook his head slightly.

"Speak humanly!"

The translator next to me is busy working.

Zhao Chuanxin was not impressed by the crowd, but his nostrils were still raised: "Exactly!"

"Is everything okay?"

At this time, French Consul General Du Lifang, who rushed to Shanghai from Shanghai, said: "Wait a minute..."

Yan Jianshi glanced at Du Lifang vaguely, and Du Lifang nodded.

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at Zhang Renjun, then hesitantly interrupted and said: "It's indeed appropriate."

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Zhao Erxun, please stay and continue discussing the French Concession."

Sheng Xuanhuai couldn't help laughing and looked at Yuan Xiaotou: "They are both generous and vicious. Rent one and get one free, right?"

I sat down again: "Where's the money? Where's the contract?"

If Mr. Zhao had known in advance about France's road construction in the border area, he would have delayed communication with Fales.

Yuan Xiaotou nodded: "Let Mr. Zhao step back!"

Zhang Renjun was not annoyed at all, but he held it back and said in a deep voice: "You are Zhang Renjun, Consul General of Hankou, Belgium."

Let’s watch Zhao warm tea and sink the battleship!”

If the temple is big and the demons are small, then we know that there are a lot of interest disputes involved.

France, Russia and Belgium were the smallest financiers behind the Beijing-Hankow Railway. The French Concession secretly built a road leading to Xiaozhimen Station. The purpose of Belgium and France was not to control the right of road, so Zhang Renjun stopped Yan Jianshi from occupying that land.

.

Zhao Chuanxin paused: "But it doesn't hurt to talk."

Therefore, Fareis would appear at critical moments, with the purpose of reminding Yan Jianshi of the importance of this land.

It was just a shock that made Du Lifang right, Sheng Xuanhuai was really not who she seemed on the surface.

In the original history, Yan Jianshi threatened Yan Jianshi in that way. The final result was that although the road was recovered, it was not an illegally built road in France. Instead, a low compensation fee was charged, totaling 16,900 taels. The Qing government also paid

It is outrageous to pay 15,000 taels to the French Concession as compensation for its successive construction costs, and also promise to pay 200 taels to the concession every year as road maintenance funds...

However, the expressions of the Japanese and British representatives changed slightly. They thought of forming a bad alliance, but suddenly France turned against them.

Yan Jianshi had to find a sense of presence, so I said: "First of all, the British Concession built roads across the border under Taiping Road and did not receive any approval; seventh, your French Concession built roads for the sake of public security and safety under the roads.

In the final analysis, road management is designed for the overall benefit and convenience of all parties. First and foremost, Article 8 of the "Articles for the Expansion of the French Concession in Hankou" stipulated that China should build a road from the railway station to the western part of the French Concession.

A road at the midpoint of the border to facilitate communication between the station and the Yangtze River. They did not fulfill their promise, and the French Concession had no choice but to handle it on their behalf."

Not to mention, Zhao Chuanxin has always been paying attention to Sheng Xuanhuai.

Sheng Xuanhuai stood up and said to Fareis: "My lord, he will boil a pot of water and make a pot of tea for you in person. You will forgive him for being polite. Come back after the tea has cooled down, and they don't want to leave."

Yuan Xiaotou glanced elsewhere.

Reporters from various countries took pictures one after another, but the pictures were far less serious than those of Li Hongzhang...

You wipe it?

After taking the photo, Zhao Chuanxin picked up his contract and left the venue.

Sheng Xuanhuai pretended to be savage and said harshly: "Fareis advised his boss that if he only knew how to promote, this land would not be in Zhao's pocket yet."

Yan Jianshi's face was full of questions: "Who is his mother? Who is his turn to speak to you?"

It was not even 1908 yet. Could it be that that idiot of his was still playing the "gunboat threat" game with Sheng Xuanhuai?

Sheng Xuanhuai was happy when he heard this: "The Decisive and the Entrecasto are in Sijiang at this time, right?"

When Yuan Xiaotou heard this, he was really caught by Yan Jianshi's suspicion that Tsarist Russia was the leader. He really made other concessions slow down, and France was also preparing to follow suit and cede territory and pay compensation.
