The original strategic intention of issuing the Asian dollar was blocked by Britain and the United States. This made Li Ningyu very unhappy, but he was also helpless. After all, the late Qing government did not agree. Li Ningyu couldn't send troops to coerce him, so
In the end, the debt problem of 200 million Asian dollars can only be solved through other methods.
In this melee, the debt owed by France was paid to the Far East by loans from the United Kingdom and Germany, while Japan and Italy were loaned by the United States. After the compensation funds and supplies of equivalent value arrived from all parties, a new round of consultation meetings was held.
Held in Beijing.
A total of six representatives came forward this time, namely the Far East, Britain, Germany, the United States, Tsarist Russia, and the late Qing Dynasty. The first topic was an issue raised by Tsarist Russia, which was about soldiers from various countries captured in the Far East.
During the entire campaign, the Far East Army captured a total of more than 468,500 people, including more than 168,500 French Expeditionary Forces, 250,000 Tsarist Russian soldiers, 35,000 Japanese, and 15,000 British and American soldiers.
Each party sent two negotiators at the talks. The Far East was represented by Foreign Minister Bismarck and Huang Song. Huang Song, who was nearly 48 years old, was a senior intellectual who had studied abroad. There was originally a shortage of political talents in the Far East, and Bismarck happened to be in Germany.
When Berlin signed the contract, he discovered Huang Song, so he brought him back to China and introduced him to Li Ningyu.
After meeting Huang Song, Li Ningyu liked him very much at first. Because of his Chinese character face, Li Ningyu had a good first impression of him. His perseverance, strength, and courageous character. After a few days of getting to know him, Li Ningyu fell in love with him.
The meeting discovered that Huang Song was proficient in sixteen languages and had an upright character, so Li Ningyu personally appointed Huang Song as Bismarck's only assistant for this meeting.
Regarding the issue of prisoners, Huang Song first stated the requirements of the Far East. He said it very straightforwardly, that is, they can be released, but they must pay compensation; they can also be reformed through labor without compensation.
After hearing such words, the representatives of various countries were not surprised at all, because when the Far East signed the agreement with France, they discussed this issue. More than 168,500 French expeditionary forces were captured. Li Ningyu's condition was 10,000 people per person.
Asian dollars, a total of 1.7 billion Asian dollars. This total price stunned the French representatives, and then the 170,000 French expeditionary force began to undergo labor reform in South Asia.
However, the price Huang Song mentioned next was lower than the French price, but still quite a lot. Each Tsarist Russian soldier cost 5,000 Asian dollars, but the total was as high as 1.3 billion Asian dollars. The representative of Tsarist Russia immediately protested, but his protest
It had no effect at all, because the representatives from the Far East ignored him. In the end, the representatives from Tsarist Russia could only calm down under the comfort of the British representatives.
When it comes to the 35,000 Japanese prisoners and the 15,000 British and American prisoners mentioned next, Huang Song still followed the prepared plan and proposed different prices, such as 1 million Asian dollars for Japan, and 100 Asian dollars for the British and American ones.
Yuan alone, such a huge difference made representatives from various countries in an uproar. However, Huang Song presented evidence one by one and said: "The little Japanese soldiers committed many crimes after attacking Tianjin, so they need to pay the heaviest price."
!
The British and American soldiers did not do anything excessive, but they also participated in the invasion, so they also need appropriate compensation. When they heard the explanation given by Huang Song, the representative of the Far East, the British and American soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, because these were the same figures.
, they can still accept it.
The issue of prisoners occupied the morning of the first day of negotiations, and then the representatives of various countries left the venue and waited for the afternoon meeting again. However, Huang Song did not go to dinner with Bismarck, but went to an embassy established by the Far East in Beijing because
He needs to pass on the real-time negotiation situation to Li Ningyu.
And where is Li Ningyu himself?
After the arrival of tens of billions of Asian dollars in funds, the Far East is like a big upstart. In the entire vast system of the Far East, political and local management talents are the most lacking. Fortunately, there is a place where many people can be deployed.
That's Taiwan.
After Sun Zhongshan took full charge of governing Taiwan, and with Li Ningyu's massive financial support, Taiwan can be said to be moving to a higher level every day. Especially after the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the original feudal atmosphere of the old society has basically been removed, and the people's
The idea of being the master of one's own affairs.
The land was re-measured and all collected into the collective, and then farmed according to each household, eliminating the landlord class and realizing a good situation where everyone has land and fields to cultivate, and every household has food to eat. However, at the beginning of the implementation,
There are still many landlords who originally owned large amounts of land, but they have come out to oppose it.
But in the end, they all kept their mouths shut, because Li Ningyu gave one opinion on how to deal with such a group of people, which was to find out all eight generations of his family's ancestors. If there was anything that oppressed the poor people, he would be tried immediately and his property would be confiscated.
After this article was announced, it was supported by more than 80% of Taiwan, and dozens of landlords were immediately investigated and punished. The rest of the people then kept their mouths shut, because neither Far East nor Li Ningyu were prepared.
After all, Li Ningyu only redistributed the land and did not confiscate their property, so they gradually chose to obey, because behind each of their wealth, there was an ulterior past.
Some people say that Li Ningyu's methods are too tough and a bit domineering, but Li Ningyu himself feels that for the benefit of most people, he, Li Ningyu, is willing to bear this label of domineering.
However, this move quickly stabilized Taiwanese society and also aroused the general public's recognition of the Far East authorities, because in the eyes of ordinary people, the late Qing government only continued to squeeze the fruits of their labor, while the Far East gave them new opportunities.
life, and Far East has established 150 primary schools in Taiwan to provide free and compulsory education for children aged 6-12 in Taiwan.
Taiwan is the only region in the Far East that has adopted free compulsory education. This has also led to the entry of a large number of immigrants, causing Taiwan's population base to rise sharply from the original 20 million to 35 million. In this regard, Sun Zhongshan sent a special message to Li Ningyu.
He sent a telegram, but Li Ningyu's answer was simple, that is, no one would be rejected.
No one knows what Li Ningyu wants to do, but only people around him who know him well know, because Li Ningyu wants to help everyone he can help, but the influx of a large population base, food, clothing, shelter, employment, etc.
A series of other issues still need to be dealt with by the authorities under Sun Zhongshan's administration.
