"Oh. Dagukou was defeated. Foreigners came again. They were also in harmony with Guangdong Changmao. I have said a long time ago that we should use wisdom to deal with foreigners. Never fight with force. We should move them with the emotions of our Celestial Empire. Although they are like monkeys, they are also barbarians. They will cry and laugh." In a simple yard in Beijing, an old man with red face accompanied an official and walked and chatted in his small yard. The old man turned his hand and jingled the jade balls. He looked very excited and sighed from time to time.

"The method of controlling the barbarians is Sun Tzu's art of war! Knowing oneself and his enemy, he will never be defeated in a hundred battles! He must know his nature first, just like a person who captured a tiger in Jilin Province. He is unarmed and only covers the tiger's head with a leather jacket. Then the tiger will be captured alive if he knows his nature well now. "The old man seemed to remember something when he was thinking of something. He pulled the visitor into the house: "Come on, come on, let me show you my work results back then."

Then he flipped through the shabby inner room. He found a very rare photo and handed it to the guest: "Look. Do you know who this is?"

"A foreign lady?" The guest first expressed surprise at the photo. Then he opened his mouth to the content on the photo.

"Not bad! This is the wife of the British leader Pu Dingcha (the British envoy who was fully authorized by the British) in the Pastoral War!" said the old man with great sincerity.

"You old man! I didn't expect to be an old hooligan!" The guest thought to himself. He curled his lips disdainfully. He threw the photo of the woman next to the smoke gun on the table, a little reluctant and disgusting.

But the old man opposite did not notice the guest's expression. He continued to spit out saliva and said, "Do you know what my name is Pu Dingcha? Because of the Mitt friend" (i.e., intimate English)! The British valued girls but rather boys. So I exchanged photos of his wife with him. He was my best friend and teacher to me. Do you know what his son was called? Friedrich, Ying Pu Dingcha! Back then, I wanted to take his son from London to be my adopted son. He said his son still wanted to study. But I had already told him in the letter that I had to accept this adopted son! Hahaha!"

"Old man! You should tell me about such a shameless thing! No wonder you are forbidden, you turtle!" The visiting guest gritted his teeth and smiled on his face. He said, "I had known that the old man was very considerate of dealing with foreigners. So this time I will give you a briefing. The emperor needs to negotiate with foreigners in Tianjin. I want to ask the old man to come out and be the assistant of the imperial envoy Guiliang. Participate in the negotiations. With your relationship with foreigners, it must be easy to talk. Right?"

This old man is Qiying. The imperial envoy who signed a contract with Britain and France during the First Opium War!

However, Qiying is a banned criminal at this moment.

The answer is very simple. One day the emperor and another day the minister.

Qiying wiped the butt for Xianfeng's father. When he reached his son's generation, he naturally would not feel that his father was not majestic enough. He spread his resentment to Qiying. As a result, the former Grand Secretary was demoted under Xianfeng's hands. In the end, he was sentenced to his son's crime and was banned.

If there were no foreigners, this Manchu lord would probably die here.

"Wow. I have a good relationship with foreigners. We are buddies. If we were Pudingchain's Mitt friend, in fact, I would definitely not fight in Beijing. Foreigners are the same. They just have face and feelings." Qiying laughed. He was so excited about his life.

Of course, even if Pu Dingcha came, I would have goosebumps all over when I saw Qiying. The British have always regarded Qiying's letter to the Yi Yi as a love letter. They suspected that his human nature was abnormal.

Because of the defeat of the Qing army, Xianfeng could only send Gui Liang, a Grand Secretary of the Dongge, and Hua Shana, the Minister of Personnel, as the imperial envoy. Because of his previous experience in the barbarians, Qiying was also released as a negotiating strait line as the minister.

Wude sent Senggelinqin to block Tongzhou with his army.

In principle, the British and French agreed to: reduce tariffs, increase ports, and compensate military expenses; never agree to the Minister's stationed in Beijing and recognize Haisong.

Then as soon as the Qing Dynasty envoy arrived in Tianjin, it started diplomatic negotiations with the five missions with the Qing Dynasty wisdom. Because it was defeated, and people would continue to fight. The Qing Dynasty was at a disadvantage. However, the envoy decided to use ancient wisdom: to divide the powerful enemies and defeat them one by one.

In one sentence, I won’t sit down and talk with you five. I will talk one by one. In this way, I can give A some sweetness to suppress B, give B some sweetness to suppress C, and so on.

This is so cool that the hypocritical Russians are hiding their requirements for the territory of the Qing Dynasty and Northeast China for Britain and France. They pretend to be good friends of the Qing Dynasty. They patted their chests and said: Brother, don’t worry. I will make wine and make peace for you. As long as we solve the matter in the Northeast first.

As a result, in order to win Russia (not needed at all), the Qing Dynasty hurriedly started negotiations with Russia in the north and signed the Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty. The Qing Dynasty official Yishan, who went to the negotiations, had no idea how big the plate they were talking about was. He could not withstand the pressure from each other. Xianfeng and his court believed that the Northeast was barren, but they could only provide some fur. In this way, the land of one million square kilometers north of the Ussuri River became the plate of the Russians.

Russia is a big winner on paper.

The United States is easy to talk about. All the five of them are most-favored nations. Except between Hai Song and Russia, they suffer some losses. However, they invoke the most-favored nation treatment. He also enjoys the benefits of treaties from other countries. So they signed it soon and also left behind the benefits of being able to trade in Taiwan;

It is too difficult to deal with the three men with troops in Britain, France and Song dynasties.

I met with Qin Liansheng, the special envoy of Haisong. As soon as Qin Liansheng entered the door, he almost got on the threshold because of his nervousness. After all, he was a gangster. At this moment, he was able to negotiate with the Manchu official in the distant capital!

After entering the door, a Shangshu of the Qing Dynasty mission saw that the official Haisong came and stood up. But he was immediately awakened by a cough on both sides and left and right. He sat down immediately, blushing. Afterwards, this person immediately threw himself into prison. If the traitor comes, you can stand up to welcome him? It is not a bad thing to go to prison. The Confucian scholars from the court and the people would probably tear him apart when they meet him.

Gui Liang spitted in front of Qin Liansheng's feet and snorted coldly: "The traitor has the face to see officials of the Celestial Dynasty?"

Qin Liansheng looked at the ministers of the Qing Dynasty mission and turned his head and went out. Ding Yuzhan, whose arm was hanging around his neck not far outside the door, was walking. Seeing Qin Liansheng come out, he stood still and used his good hand to chop Qin Liansheng with his good hand.

Qin Liansheng took a deep breath, turned his head into the room, sat down first, then grabbed the teacup in front of him and threw it down hard. Looking at the Qing officials in the room who were stunned by the hooligan behavior and expressions, Qin Liansheng grinned and said, "We don't beat you. It's the good luck of your Qing beasts! If you don't agree to the mediation between Britain and France, we have long destroyed you, the beasts outside the pass! Our emperor is kind and does not want to fight to hurt the people! Is it peaceful or continue fighting now? You can do it! If we continue fighting, Tianjin, our Song army will kill all the Qing officials. Beijing, our Song army will kill all the Qing officials. Then we go to the imperial tomb to use explosives to let your ancestors see the light!"

Yesterday, Qin Mazi stammered the lines written by Ding Yuzhan all night. Today, with the courage to throw a teacup, he finally read them smoothly. Then he stretched out his fingers and pointed at the other party tremblingly and shouted: "Zhoushan is ours, Taiwan is ours, and all the islands on the sea are ours."

Seeing the room silently, Qin Liansheng snorted and walked out with his hands behind his back. The negotiations were over. He actually tripped by the threshold again.

The first diplomatic talks between Hai Song and the Qing Dynasty were the same lack of diplomatic talents and fucked. They were actually gangsters dealing with the Confucian ministers of the Qing Dynasty. In this way, it ended without having to talk to each other.

But Qin Mazi didn't expect that because of this first negotiation, it set a tone for all future diplomats. If you can't beat Hai Song and Hai Song want to touch you again, then Hai Song's diplomat is cruel to you like a wolf. He will lose his identity and smash things.

"A beast!" Gui Liang pointed to the door and shivered all over his body.

Britain and France are the big ones, and it is difficult to deal with. Gui Liang can only laugh with them under the threat of their wars at all times.

But other easy-to-talk and controversy quickly focused on the issue of ministers stationed in Beijing. Xianfeng absolutely did not want them to go to Beijing. Britain and France absolutely wanted to go to Beijing.

Both are defensive stances that fear the other party's civilization. It is an international practice for foreign civilized ministers to be stationed in Beijing. Only by sending envoys to each other can we establish the most basic diplomatic exchanges. But this practice is like a surrender to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty is a country above the heavens. How can we surrender to the barbarians?

Xianfeng Yan ordered Gui Liang not to approve this. At the same time, the capital was also infuriated. Some ministers wanted to pull up the people of Ai Qing, organize group training, and start war immediately; more than a dozen ministers including the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice and other ten ministers jointly wrote a letter to explain the Eight Woes in Beijing;

Prince Gong, Gui Liang's son-in-law, and later the Japanese Liuyi also wrote a letter. He never expected that he would become a traitor despised by the Qing sect in the future. Just as everyone had made feces when they were young. The young Japanese Liu loved Man Qing very much. In his memorial, he actually proposed a terrifying solution:

Article 1. The secretary, translator and plotter of British leader Erkin. Li Taiguo, a British man who often intimidated Qing officials, has found out that he was a pseudo-Song people. He should be arrested immediately and killed by random knives. In this way, the British would have no strategists. Smith must have been.

Article 2: Let the Hunan Army attack Haisong immediately. This way, it is impossible to talk about peace or not.

Xianfeng was very depressed about the first one. If he had an atomic bomb in his hand, he would not be afraid of the foreign army. One hundred Li Taiguo would also be cut to death. Erjin would have to slice it into fish;

The second article. Xianfeng is still very depressed. The situation is good for numbing Haisong. Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom swept away the two camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, they themselves have internal conflicts. It is the time to take this opportunity to wipe out one of them. Now let the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom go to fight Haisong. Isn’t this dispersing their own troops? You can’t solve one. You have to choose two at the same time? Have you been ecstasy too much?

Gui Liang, who was negotiating in the previous negotiations, was a rat in the bellows. Both ends were angry. One was that Xianfeng did not allow the man to enter Beijing. The other was that the foreigners in front of him did not agree with these conditions and started war immediately.

In desperation, Guiliang had to pass the ball to Xianfeng: Emperor. What do you think of? Should I sign the contract? Or should I refuse? Or should I just use my envoy as bait. I directly notify Senggelinqin to attack Tianjin?

When Xianfeng saw that the ball was difficult to deal with. He swung skillfully and passed the ball back to Guiliang with a skillful fake move. He also shouted: "A Gui. I trust you. Give me a goal!" The imperial edict said: I am vague. I don't want to allow it. But I don't want to break up either.

Gui Liang was stunned when he received the ball: OK. Let me fight with the opponent's world-class players by defending the lawn! But if my team can beat them, why do I need me to come up?

The opponent's soldiers were under the capital. The emperor could not defeat him. He didn't want to listen to him. He had no choice but to write a memorial: "At this moment, Ying, Buddha, and the Three Kingdoms conventions of the Song Dynasty, must not be used as real evidence. But if you take these few papers, you will temporarily retreat to the Haikou military ship. If you abandon the alliance in the future, you only need to deal with the crime of bad governance and other slaves. You can use waste paper."

This logic is amazing. I signed it by my brother. But we can't take it seriously. If something happens in the future, you just say I'm a temporary worker!

Xianfeng agreed. Three days later, Britain, France and the Song Dynasty threatened again if they did not sign before 3 pm. If they fought again, the coalition forces would enter Beijing!

Guiliang signed the contract!

But this person did not dare to tell the truth to his boss Xianfeng. He actually deceived him on both sides. He told Xianfeng that Britain and France agreed to Xianfeng. He told Britain and France that Xianfeng agreed to Britain and France.

Hai Song is so happy to say that no matter Zhao Kuo or his subordinates begged them to stay in Beijing, no one dared to go. They just wanted to admit the peace and compensation. But Britain and France would not do it. They said that since the boss agreed, your boss agreed to take out the official letter that he agreed to.

Gui Liang was stunned.

But the Qing officials were very good at being officials. Gui Liang directly deceived Xianfeng: Boss. Now I tell you that both Britain, France and the Song Dynasty are retreating. You'd better send a letter to respond to the matter quickly; otherwise they won't leave and come back to beat us!

Xianfeng issued a red edict to agree to the imperial edict.

But Beijing was in an uproar, both the court and the people. But the uproar was very strange. It opened the ports and traded freely. It even admitted that Hai Song didn't matter. It just hated the minister who was stationed in Beijing.

How can the face of the Celestial Empire be there? How can a group of foreigners come into Beijing?

Xianfeng was also annoyed. His father was defeated by foreigners once (the first Opium War). Now the foreigners are coming again. And he is even worse than his father. How could the minister be stationed in the capital?

Because of this, he has specialized in researching foreigners and proposed a solution that seems very strange in the future: that is, are you foreigners not seeking profits? I am exempt from your tariffs at all! As long as you envoys do not come to Beijing!

Xianfeng thought it was self-righteous. But Shanghai official Quan Simi agreed: the tariff was about a few million taels. Without this money, will you not end the Qing Dynasty?

In the end, he was full of slander and all of them were hints. He didn't dare to say it clearly. Finally, he persuaded the emperor to stop.

When Qin Mazi returned to Haijing with the "Qing and Song Peace Treaty" which not only recognized Haisong, trade terms, ceded Zhoushan, and paid 3 million taels of compensation, the people cheered. Qin Mazi was also slightly disappointed.

Because the Qing Dynasty had even given Taiwan Island to Zhao Kuo. They only needed mainland China and Northeast China and the sea didn't care at all! But Britain and France saw that Qin Mazi's bluffing was even taken away from Taiwan and his chin was smashed.

But Taiwan is a trade port scheduled by Britain and France. This island is so big that it cannot be given to the Song Dynasty. It was them who mediated it. In fact, it was suppressing Hai Song. Qin Mazi was disappointed to calculate the compensation of 1 million taels of Taiwan Island and returned it to the Qing Dynasty.

However, Zhao Kuo didn't seem to care much about this agreement and the advance deposit of 50,000 taels of silver when he came to Haisong. That was the money that the Three Kingdoms directly withdrawn in the suburbs of Tianjin.

Because as a future person, he knew that the Qing Dynasty had a big killer weapon.

This big killer weapon is: I signed it! But I don’t admit it!

This is not a hooligan behavior. This is the guiding ideology of Confucian classics: To have a ally without qualities---For those who threaten to join forces with alliances and force a covenant to turn the alliance back, it is not to be unfaithful!

The water splashes of foreign warships leaving Dagukou have not yet calmed down. In the Forbidden City, Xianfeng issued an edict: Senggelinqin immediately rebuilt the Dagukou fortifications and mobilized soldiers to gather in Beijing. Everything is for the foreigners to come again.

When the Tianjin Treaty was signed, it was stipulated that it would come to Beijing to exchange formal texts within one year. This was the exchange of contracts. But when the foreigners came to Dagukou again, they were afraid that they were stunned. They were not the other envoys, but the banging shells.

"Damn it! Come on. It's okay for me to sign the Forbidden City to you! You want the alliance without any qualifiers!" Xianfeng said gritting his teeth: "If you dare to come again next time, I will ask for your head!"

Zhao Kuo was also not interested in the so-called Bird Tianjin Treaty. He knew that any hero in history had never played this game? Nurhaci had accepted an official position in the Ming Dynasty; Zhu Yuanzhang also had an agreement with the Yuanchao court; Liu Bang admitted whether to recognize Xiang Yu's authority? Even in the era when he came, the United Nations could control the United States? In fact, even the Somali pirates could not control it!

Civilians can go to the government to sue when fighting. Who do you want to make a case when fighting in your country?

There are no restrictions between countries. The only constraints are interests. Otherwise, the 2005 Nobel Prize would be awarded to game theory experts?

To be the one who takes off his pants and farts. What does Xinyi have to do with it? The mouth is full of Xinyi. But who has done it in his hands?

Power without quality is the essence.

If you went to the alien fleet in 1857, you can abolish any contract and sign any new treaty.

But can the Qing Dynasty beat Britain and France?

If you can't play with them and still want to play with them? This is suicide, stupid and unrestrained.

Zhao Kuo snorted coldly. He planned to swallow Hunan when Xianfeng used artillery shells to play foreigners. He also wanted to join the ally and be suppressed by Britain and France. However, he planned to expose his anger on the Qing Dynasty.

However, this is just a fantasy. The biggest problem is not the Qing Dynasty, but the internal affairs of Haisong.

The Sun and Moon Army was unstable. Shi Dakai actually came with 670,000 people!
