When the two of them said goodbye, King Qing called Zhao Guanhou and asked, "How much have they given you?"

Zhao Guanhou took out the certificate of deposit from the boot page and handed it to the upper part, "Father-in-law, they gave the son-in-law 100,000."

"The Fusang people are really stingy! It seems that what you said makes sense. Fusang is a newly emerging power. The country is poor and the people are weak, and they are shallow in their eyes. They are reluctant to spend money. The advantage of giving us one tael of silver must be to take away three taels of silver from us immediately. Working with them, there is no oil or water to get along with, and they are not as good as old-fashioned powers such as Prussia and Albion. They are broad-minded and generous, with more than 100,000 or 200,000, and they can be paid at will, and they will not be so petty."

"Father-in-law, the people have something to do. Only after three generations of officials can they know how to dress and eat. Those old and powerful countries, like officials and families, naturally take advantage of their actions. Fusang is just a householder. A few years ago, they asked their women to go out as bills to earn foreign exchange for their own country. How could they be willing to give us real money? So when talking to them, one hand and the other hand is not good. You have to pay money first and then the goods to be at ease, otherwise you may be afraid of everything. We will be afraid of doing things outside the customs. We will make a long-term plan for the matter outside the customs. We are anxious, and we will not be anxious. We will delay his temperament first and let him send the stamps. Anyway, we have to handle the negotiations before we can do other things. This time, the two countries have a bad relationship, so we will have a better life. If we have to grind with foreigners, we will not believe in the negotiations."

When Zhao Guanhou passed the eighth day of the lunar month, he took the initiative to discuss with various countries and tug-of-war on the terms of the treaty. The method he adopted was to negotiate in a divided country, breaking up the entire treaty, including both the part that came into force for each country and the part that was discussed separately with each country.

The plan it proposed is to give priority to the compensation treaty method. Whoever signs and recognizes the peace treaty first, the Jin Kingdom can appropriately compensate a part of the excise fee in addition to the compensation. It will also give other preferential treatment in exchange for the country's early evacuation.

The content of the negotiations is mainly about the compensation figures and payment methods. The issues in the numbers are still based on the excuse of Southeast mutual protection, and the rationale is to strive for reduction and exemption, but the power of roads and mines and the expansion of the concession compensation. Secondly, the punishment is too much. The Dagukou Fortress will be flattened, so China has no danger to defend. Foreign soldiers can drive straight into the capital, which is not fair enough to China. In the concession, Chinese people are not allowed to live in a life, which is also unreasonable.

The point he refuted was similar to Zhang Tong's, but the time he chose was far better than Zhang Tong. The air in St. Petersburg and Tokyo has become increasingly tense, and both countries have launched enough propaganda machines to criticize each other. Although it has not yet reached the level of force, in this case, it is only a matter of time before it starts fighting.

Now for Fusang, it is of course very important to mobilize the two divisions back to their country as soon as possible and prepare for the war against Tielle, but for Tielle, it is also important to reach an agreement on the issue of treaty. And the problem now is that in terms of the reparations, more and more countries have begun to overturn the original proposals and demolish the debris.

After the separate negotiations, Zhao Guanhou's benefits for each country were different, so that the ministers of each country could not be united as in the past. Furthermore, because of the different camps of their respective support, the ministers also lost their unity as they did in the past. More importantly, Zhao Guanhou became famous in the concession, and Rodley began to write his biography, and some ministers began to buy his face and seriously considered his conditions.

Originally, it was just a small country with the Jin Kingdom's secret contact, but as the situation developed, a large country finally participated and began to make concessions and compromises.

Albion's minister Sa Daoyi first expressed his willingness to reconsider the claim number from a humanitarian perspective. He originally claimed more than 50 million taels of silver. After discussion, he agreed to reduce it to 30 million taels, including the model of railway rights, routes and concessions expansion, which was converted into 20 million taels of silver and 10 million taels of cash. The cash part was mortgaged by customs income, and loaned to the bank, interest was 4 cents, and paid in 20 years. However, Albion gained more power on the Dajin River channel. This part was not made up for treaties and made separate documents.

The subsequent statements were Folangji, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Their silver was not much obtained. Among them, the Netherlands took advantage of the situation. They did not suffer much losses and did not dispatch many troops.

His national strength is not as developed as before, and it is impossible to use martial arts to Dajin. Zhao Guanhou treated the different treatment of various countries. He only recognized 200,000 silver that Yu Netherland asked for, but the rest did not pay. However, in private, he gave two precious antiques from the Dutch minister, which made the other party agree and agreed to the conditions.

Although these small countries are not very strong in their national strength, they took the lead in remorse and the deterrent power of Yu's mission has a great influence. In addition, Zhao Guanhou's heroic rescue performance in the previous fire left a good impression on all countries. Some countries that were not very affected by the Flying Tiger Regiment were willing to sign with the Jin Dynasty earlier. After all, compared with the treaty, the Jin Dynasty will give some preferential policies in the future, which will benefit itself more.

In the Shandong tour, Cixi's telegram had arrived and agreed to the request made by Prussia. In the future, the army purchased equipment and designated Lihe and Jardines to handle it, and did not directly trade with other ordnance merchants. In the employment of instructors, they would hire Prussian national instructors. Once these two conditions were agreed, it would be equivalent to handing over the defense and military of the Jin Kingdom to Prussia.

For Prussia, such a treaty is far more important to its own interests than military compensation. What is more important is that the content of this treaty is seriously suspected of eating alone. Once it lasts for a long time and is known to other countries, it will inevitably cause diplomatic disputes, and countries continue to protest, and they may be overthrown.

Before the Lantern Festival, Prussian Minister Muller signed the contract first. The 90 million taels of silver originally requested by Prussia, considering the actual difficulties of the Jin Dynasty and the disasters suffered by the people of Northern Zhili, reduced 40 million and only 50 million taels of silver were only required. Of which 25 million taels were used to build railways in Shandong, and the right to road belonged to Prussia, and the fifty-year mining rights of mineral resources within 30 kilometers along the railway were required as payment method, and then agreed to sign and withdraw troops.

Next is Fusang. Yasuya Uchida can no longer wait. Secret telegrams from the military and the cabinet urged him to complete the peace agreement as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would last for a long time. Once the Jin Dynasty turned against Tiel, the Northeast Bureau would be greatly disadvantageous to Fusang.

Once the Northeast is owned by Tiel, it will inevitably affect Goryeo. The land of Goryeo that has finally obtained may be lost to Tiel. At this time, it is particularly important to ensure that the Jin Kingdom is tied to its own chariot, so that it will stand firmly on its own side, and try its best to find an agent suitable for Fusang's interests in its territory. This is particularly important.

Tokyo had such an order. Uchida knew that the situation was urgent and the diplomatic race had begun. Most of the money he asked for was delayed by Zhao Guanhou, and only admitted 14 million compensation. However, Uchida could only sign the losses within the peace treaty in exchange for the support of the Jin Kingdom on the battlefield outside the peace treaty.

The treaty has finally been signed.

Compared with the previous negotiations, the main changes are to the following:

The first item was an indemnity, and the imperial court compensated 200 trillion silver for each country, which was paid off in 39 years, with an annual interest of 4 cents, and returned in 30 years. Customs duties, regular customs duties and salt taxes are guaranteed.

The second is the weapons ban, which is changed to only allow purchase of arms from Prussia. Prussia assumes supervision and management responsibilities for a period of two years and will be observed after the expiration.

Again, Chinese people are allowed to live in the embassy, ​​but the Dajin court needs to be guaranteed to ensure that the Chinese living in the embassy area are innocent, have never committed crimes or have no tendency to oppose foreign countries.

Apart from these three items, the rest have not changed much, but the changes of these three items are already a rare progress.

In Xianliang Temple, Zhang Jingyuan reported the information he received to his father at a continuous price.

"Tiele is said to have been cut the most ruthlessly. The 130 trillion yuan silver compensation was paid. Zhao Guanhou only recognized 30 trillion yuan. Before that Geles got angry, he started to act as a gangster in Tianjin and slapped the table. He said that if he wanted it, it was the money. If he didn't want it, he would come and fight a battle and see if they could win. This kid is a little ruthless."

Zhao Guanhou rescued Zhang Shaoquan from the fire. Zhang Jingyuan's view of him changed greatly, and his tone also showed a little more praise. Zhang Tong's spirit also improved a little, and he sat there nodded and smiled. "How much has the compensation been reduced now?"

"A total of several companies, the compensation was reduced to 200 million, which was more than half of the original price."

"Then what?"

Zhang Jingyuan was stunned, "It's gone."

"That's all, will you be so happy?" Zhang Tong shook his head. "Two hundred trillion is slightly less than that in Maguan, but you still have to pay. The old debts of the imperial court have not been cleared, and new debts have been added. If you don't have money, you have to borrow. If you borrow, you have to pay interest. With principal and interest, you are also a compensation of hundreds of trillions. Although he reduced it by half, it was not because we made hundreds of trillions, but because we lost hundreds of trillions. What's there to be happy about? As for the purchase of weapons, the people live in the concessions, which is the power that our country deserves, but now it is regarded as a diplomatic victory. I don't feel happy about this ugly performance at all."

When he said this, he was excited and coughed violently. Zhang Jingyuan was also depressed by his father's words, and he lost his excitement.

After a while, Zhang Tong sighed, "I was a junior high school student in my youth, and I came to the Westernization business lately. I worked hard for decades, and I only hoped to revive the great Jin Dynasty and build a great achievement. But I didn't expect that I would end up like this late. The court hated me, the people scolded me, how many people in the world understand me? The country is like this and the country is like this. Could it be that Zhang Shaoquan is capable of turning the tide? The prime minister Hefei is thin. Haha, I have made a family of silence. Can this world be better? Jokes, jokes."

Zhang Jingyuan suddenly saw his father's crazy appearance and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Dad, I'll ask the doctor to show you whether you are feeling uncomfortable again."

"I feel very comfortable. I have never felt as comfortable since I was infected with the disease. Since I was in charge of the Westernization, I don't know how many people have said that I was selling my country. This time, the hat of selling my country finally couldn't be put on my head. I'm happy. Go out and bring Cuiyu and Guanhou, and I want them to have a few drinks with me. No one is allowed to disturb me before they come."
