C455 Gong Banluns sharp mouth (1/2)
No one had expected that Gong Cheng would actually use such an opening statement to carry out such an important negotiation.
”Who cultivated the Yuan Ming Yuan? It was cultivated using the blood and sweat of all the Han people in the world, do you really think burning Qing Dynasty would hurt your heart? What is a courtyard worth compared to their own? ”
”What's a few million in war reparations? Who was the last to pay? Isn't it the Chinese tax? Does the ancestors of the Manchu have a tax? ”
”I, Gong Cheng, am now a traitor that people criticize, but think about it, even if I don't sell this country, do you think the Manchu won't sell it? Who is managing the Great Clear Customs? That's under the control of the Irish He De. They have sold all the important customs lands to the foreigners, do you think they care about a crappy courtyard? ”
”Why should I, Gong Cheng, carry this shit? In the war six years ago, even if I, Gong Cheng, didn't appear, there would still be Wang Chen and Li Chen … Come out, if it doesn't work, can't the Manchu's old men stroke their sleeves and personally come up to sell? ”
”What bullsh * t national justice, my ass!” That was all just to scare people off. What was a country? The nation was just a group of people using righteousness to oppress another group of people. The people were like cattle, while the emperor was like a bandit! The war six years ago had long made Manchu understand … ”
”Before, it was Manchu who dragged the Meng people, the Tibetan people, and a large group of foreign invaders to eat our Han Chinese. Now, there is a large number of Western bandits that want to share a piece of the cake. At the beginning, the Manchu was unwilling, but in the end, the Western bandits punched them.
”Sigh …” Gong Cheng sighed: Look, this group of Manchu s finally understood, there's no way they can win against the foreign invaders, they can only move chairs around the table and eat together, what they are begging for is for the Master Yang s to have some face, but don't push them all under the table!
”Your Majesty! Your Majesty … This Manchu's government has already started to sell it, and my second-rate peddler is not worth much, the British already have the intention of abandoning me, I have to find a way out for myself to live in retirement! ”
”I can't count on the foreigners. These bastards only care about benefits. If there's a need for it, you're a VIP. If there's no need for you, you're a stray dog …” Your Majesty, I am willing to offer up all the secrets of the French to bring peace to the Ryukyu. I only hope that this old trash, who is at the end of his years, can have a place for him to live in the Overlord City! ”
When he said that, Gong Cheng fell on his knees, and couldn't help but cry miserably, causing everyone's heart to palpitate.
”Please rise, please rise!” Shang Tai was still young, seeing the elder in front of him cry so miserably, his heart immediately softened. However, the young king did not notice that when Gong Cheng was lifted up, his eyes shone with the light of a hungry wolf.
Both sides continued to flirt with each other and started to smooth out the rules one by one. Taro Shimadzu, the Japanese foreign warrior at the side, was already dumbfounded when she saw this. This was the first time he realized that these high ranking figures were bargaining like those in the market.
”The French really can't fight anymore. It's not that they suffered too many casualties, but that something went wrong with the rear. In India, where the ancient name is Tian Zhu, the British are currently fighting with the French. Today, the fleet that attacked the Ryukyu were all sent by the French from India …”
”That's right, that's right. His Majesty is right. The French rear are already empty. Although they look aggressive on the surface, their fear is that the British will rob their homes …”
”The French really don't have time to waste. They are extremely anxious to get back, so this is the best time for negotiations …”
”One hundred thousand!” I've decided to beat my chest. How about we make a hundred thousand taels of war reparations? ”Not much, not much at all. Even the French want to go down the stairs. They want face too. Even the dead soldiers need to be compensated!”
”What?” Tell me, why don't the French compensate the Ryukyu? If you have this kind of attitude, the French will not leave even more if they cause trouble. When the time comes, they will fight to the death with us Ryukyu, and the one who will suffer in the end would be us! ”
”Weak nations have no diplomacy. Isn't this the bloody reality? Forget about Ryukyu, how about Da Qing? I still have to pinch my nose and admit it … How about this, I'll give you a hundred thousand taels to discuss the composition period? ”It's been three years and it's been paid off. This is the lowest of the conditions …”
Taro Shimadzu was stupefied when he saw this. He realized that this old man Gong Cheng was quite eloquent, speaking one sentence after another in an organized manner. Furthermore, his words and words were all analyzed from your point of view, causing you to not feel any opposing emotions at all.
The current Taro Shimadzu had saved his life due to his backwater, so he was naturally qualified to listen to the negotiations at a close distance. He stood upright behind Shang Tai like a steel spear, and even though the surrounding imperial guards had complicated looks in their eyes, there was not the slightest change in his expression.
”I know what you guys are thinking, and I know what you guys are cursing in your hearts. Isn't that just a traitor? For the sake of the faith in my heart, I will be considered as this traitor today! ”
Time passed second by second, as both sides continued their war of words, the Ryukyu's compensation to the French decreased to 100,000 Mexican eagle s, and they had to pay it back after three years.
The Ambassador of France signed a friendly agreement with the King of the Ryukyu on behalf of His Majesty the French Emperor. France recognizes the independence and sovereignty of the Ryukyu.
