Chapter 411
Chief of Staff Gan had just finished reading and the list had not yet been collected and folded. The two military representatives beside Ono couldn't help jumping up from their chairs, pointing at Sun Yong and others and angrily yelled:
"You are shameless and despicable. This is naked extortion. Five million nine hundred thousand taels of silver? You are so poor that you are crazy, why don't you rob the bank vault?"
Facing the two irritated Japanese military representatives, Sun Yong took a sip of Pu'er tea and replied slowly:
"So what if you are so poor that you are crazy? It was you who took the initiative to ask for reconciliation and renegotiation. I also told you that our eldest young master said that of these 5.9 million taels of silver, not a penny should be lost. Do you understand?"
"You...don't even think about it..."
The two military representatives were so angry that their faces were red and they were breathing heavily.
Xiao Ye was able to hold his nerve this time, with a livid face and said nothing, but turned his face towards the mediator Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan, who had been acting as a middleman, listened to the conversation between the two parties very calmly. The scene and content made him dumbfounded.
Sun Yong and his new army are like a mad wolf that breathes fire, taking a big bite when they get the chance.
I thought that getting more than 200,000 taels of silver from the stupid pig of Zhengyuan Co., Ltd. and the New Army was already quite good.
According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the pension for twenty-six ordinary soldiers was a maximum of two hundred silver dollars per person for a small number of martyrs who had to perform bravery in the National Defense War, which was considered a top end.
Even if the new army's new regulations require an additional 100 yuan of foreign currency each, it will only be 300 yuan of foreign currency, which is equivalent to 200 taels of silver.
The disability costs for the thirty-five wounded were even less.
As for Zuo Gang, who was a business management leader, he also required to be a model hero. The maximum pension was only one thousand silver dollars, which was only 700 taels converted into silver.
But now, they ask for one million taels of silver, which is thousands of times higher and an astronomical figure.
As for Chen Tianhua himself, he only has two more scars on his original gun scars, which actually adds a bit of toughness.
There are a lot of body parts. According to reports, he and his wife, Miss Li Jiasan, are actively working on a plan to create a human being and want to have a second child.
A leisurely and relaxed state.
But I never thought that these guys secretly sharpened their knives so fast that they would make these Japanese guys from Zhengyuan Co., Ltd. scream with pain.
As the mediator appointed by the governor, his main responsibility is to make the two sides cease fighting. As for the amount of compensation, that is not a big deal.
In a war, there will be winners and losers, and the loser must compensate the winner.
I think back then, when the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894, the compensation was 200 million taels of silver. Considering that Li Zhongtang was shot for no reason, the reduction in half was regarded as a subsidy.
Originally, Japanese Chief Hirobumi Ito had 400 million taels of silver, and he couldn't lose a single penny. Otherwise, the Japanese army would invade Beijing.
In addition to 200 million taels of silver, they also demanded the cession of Taiwan, the Penghu Islands, the Shandong Peninsula, etc.
As a native of the Qing Dynasty, since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, Xiao Xuan had no good feelings towards the Japanese at all.
This Japanese pirate eating scene is really ugly.
Throughout the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the Beiyang Navy was completely wiped out, and the Beiyang Army was defeated. The Qing Dynasty lost all the wealth it had worked so hard to build for decades.
Not only did the Japanese not lose any money during the war, they also made a huge profit. Not only did they have several warships parked on Liugong Island, but they also captured a complete ammunition depot, various German artillery, ordnance supplies, etc.
According to statistics, the captured warships and ordnance supplies were twice as much as those consumed in the war.
However, the conditions that Japan demanded for war compensation were really shocking, including ceding territory for compensation and opening up ports, which can be described as extremely vicious.
It can be said that among the imperialist powers in the late Qing Dynasty, the Japanese island countries were among the most greedy and ugliest bandits.
Since the reparations for the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894, the Qing Dynasty has been burdened with heavy foreign debts, and its national power has become even weaker.
In fact, Xiao Xuan felt quite happy in her heart that the New Army had cut the foreigner severely this time.
In any case, this is also a way to gain the ambition of the people of the Qing Dynasty and destroy the prestige of the Japanese people, which makes them feel proud and proud.
"Okay, okay! Is it even a problem if it can be solved with money? Mr. Ono, please be careful with your two assistants and stop jumping here. Mr. Sun was also ordered to come to negotiate. Let me say this as a mediator
To be fair, it was you Zhengyuan Co., Ltd. who provoked me first, and now they are just asking for money to settle everything, not to cut off the flesh!"
"If you can't make the decision, then go back and ask for instructions and report. Don't wait here. Everyone's time is precious!"
Xiao Xuan spoke coldly.
This time he spoke completely as an impartial party and mediator, and for the first time he dared to ridicule and scold the Japanese representative.
This may be due to the awe-inspiring righteousness of Sun Yong and others, which gave him inexplicable confidence.
"Xiao Sang, you..."
As the chief representative, Ono never expected that Xiao Xuan would dare to say such words that were against the interests of the allies.
He was so angry that he was so angry that his eyes were extremely concave and convex, and he wished he could pounce on him and bite him twice to relieve his anger.
Bagaya Road, aren't you, the governor, one of the planners of this beheading operation?
At that time, you, Xiao Xuan, weren't you just following Mr. Nie and offering advice? Have you forgotten about it?
It's a good thing now that you are acting as a just person without any shame, you damn pug.
Xiao Zhizhi had already scolded Xiao Xuan's eighteenth generation ancestors, but he just failed to expose the governor's Yamen's ugly face in person.
However, a little impatience can ruin a big plan. After all, Xiao Xuan is just a lackey of the master, and there is no need to be familiar with him.
As the mediator of this negotiation, Xiao Xuan made everything clear, and the other party's attitude was very tough. After a brief discussion between Ono and the two assistants, they said that they had no control over the matter and had to go back and report it.
After saying that, all the Japanese representatives exited the camp gate and left the New Army First Association garrison dejectedly.
This time they were not like last time, holding their heads high and walking away.
Xiao Xuan also said goodbye to Sun Yong and others politely, and returned to the governor's Yamen to resume her duties.
Sun Yong and the others saw off their guests with smiles, and couldn't help but celebrate in the tent while drinking.
Because they finally vented their anger, let the Japanese people worry a lot.
…
When those Japanese bosses who were waiting for the outcome of the negotiations heard Ono and others return and vividly report on the process and the results, they were like a thunderbolt. They overturned the table, threw glasses, and yelled loudly.
For the Japanese people who have always regarded the Qing Dynasty as the "sick man of East Asia", this result is absolutely a shame and a great humiliation.
