Inside the simple tent outside St James's Palace, London, England.
At this time, Yang Shanlu put forward three conditions-
First, pay 20 million taels of silver to Daming!
Second, he will take away some people from Britain/country.
Third, with regard to the merger of the British Isles (Scotland), he must not promote it.
Then for these three conditions, the second and third are nothing more. For the British king, it is not a big problem.
For example, for the second condition, some of them have never even heard of them (the British/Chinese scientists Yang Shanlu will take away, some of them are only eighteen or nineteen years old, and great scientific contributions have not been made yet.) ! So it’s normal for the British King to have never heard of it)
As for the third condition, although it feels uncomfortable... an outsider actually interferes in our internal affairs? Pointing at my internal affairs? But it can be tolerated. After all, Scotland is a problem left over from history. It will not be resolved during his term of office and will have little impact.
But the third condition would kill him! Can this be tolerated? Even this is a problem related to the fundamental interests of the country!
Actually want to compensate 20 million taels of silver? Want to know how much the total fiscal revenue of the United Kingdom/country in one year is? Can there be two million taels? After all, they are an island nation! (The land area of the British/National Guys is half smaller than that of Xiaori/Ben!), and the population is much smaller, which is completely incomparable with that huge eastern empire!
But now? If this is to compensate so much silver, he can already imagine what life will be for all the people and even him in the next few years... If the country that will be compensated by the time is extremely poor, will there be pants to wear
But the so-called situation is not strong, so in the face of such harsh conditions, the British king can only swallow for mercy and said: "Your Excellency, compensation should be made, but in your previous letter, it was not just compensation. Is it ten million taels of silver? How come it suddenly doubled?"
"Yes—" Yang Shanlu nodded and said, "I said so before, but because you rejected my kindness, my heroic soldiers paid a lot of sacrifices in the subsequent battles. That's why. Double the compensation!"
Then when I heard Yang Shanlu say this, the British king was simply speechless... That's right, the soldiers of the British Empire who suffered heavy losses in this battle, okay? Whether any of you died in battle is between the two talks! But now? Is this considered as being able to implement anti-skills against the shit cudgel they are good at
"Please raise your hand high, the elementary school is weak and can't come up with this much money..." But what else can I do? The king of England, the supreme existence, can only beg for mercy in such a low voice.
When Yang Shanlu heard this, he said without thinking: "No money? Then you can use the items in the British Museum to pay for it—"
After all, in the era of Yang Shanlu, the reputation of the British Museum was too great! It is even famous all over the world—because there are precious cultural relics snatched from all over the world by the British/national guys, including many from China.
Even because there were too many robbeds, there was also a special Chinese room inside. For example, it contained Gu Kaizhi’s "Nu Shi Zhen Tu" and Su Shi's "Mo Zhu Tu", etc., in addition to the collection of precious Chinese cultural relics and There are more than 60,000 ancient books, all of them were cheated or snatched through various improper means!
But then when he saw Charles I’s stunned eyes, Yang Shanlu woke up and was almost confused. The British Museum will not be established until nearly a hundred years later. The current British Empire has not yet turned into a world gangster! So the rich collections in the British Museum are not yet visible...
But in this case, Yang Shanlu is not interested in talking with him... Since the national treasures are still in China, the only compensation can be gold and silver! And the so-called weak countries have no diplomacy! There is no bargaining at all! All you can do is sign or not!
So seeing Yang Shanlu's attitude so tough and there was no room for negotiation at all, the British king was dumbfounded... But in the end, he could only agree humiliatingly...
Because this is also very obvious, if he doesn't agree, can he still live? I'm afraid I will lose my life immediately! He doesn't even need the other party to do it. He can imagine that, as long as he is handed over to the opposition parties in Britain/country, he is guaranteed to be gone the next day!
So no matter how humiliated he is, he can only keep his throne if he agrees and then gathers the army as soon as possible...
As for how to compensate for such a huge sum of money, I call on all the people to tighten their belts and eat soil for a few years. It should be enough...
(According to Yang Shanlu’s estimation, such a huge amount of compensation can definitely damage the economy of Britain/country! For example, at this time, there are gold coins in circulation in Britain/country, but it will be difficult if you want to see it later. ! Will it even be impossible to keep the gold and silver wares of those nobles? Because all of them will be used to compensate foreign debts! Haha!)
So just like that, after a series of unequal negotiations, the British king had to make compromises, and then signed a series of unequal treaties...that is, treaties that had never appeared in the original history. -"Sino-British London Treaty"!
In addition, the reading app I am using recently has a lot of books, full of books, and fast updates!
The content of the treaty is mainly the above three articles, and of course there are some bits and pieces.
For example, in one of them, Yang Shanlu wants the British king to sign, and he will never violate China's promise in the future! And this is not an empty promise! Instead, let him put his hands on the bible and swear!
Although Yang Shanlu also knows that the British/Chinese people in a country like a shit-crumbling stick have always said the same things as farting, but let him swear to the pious bible, it will be somewhat restrained...
Therefore, the numerous small conditions mentioned above, plus the three three conditions, together constitute this "Sino-British London Treaty" that has never been seen in history!
After the two parties signed in triplicate and formally signed them, and kept them in their respective collections, looking at the British king, his face turned gray after signing. Yang Shanlu felt like looking at this significant treaty. It is extremely exciting! It is the happiest day to travel to the present day!
Even looking at this treaty, Yang Shanlu was still very impressed. He remembered the series of traitorous treaties that China was persecuted by Britain/country in history!
For example, on August 29, 1842, the Qing government and the representatives of Britain signed the "Sino-British Nanjing Treaty" in Nanjing. The main content of the treaty included the ceding of Hong Kong and the indemnity of 21 million silver dollars to Britain. Since the beginning of this treaty, China has become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country! And later generations call this day the day of national shame!
Then there was the "Sino-British Humen Treaty" of 1843! There is also the "Tianjin Treaty" signed by China, the United States, China, Britain, and China and France in 1858 (this time ceding Jiulongjian/Shazui to Britain)
Then in 1858, the Manchu and the Qing Dynasty were forced to sign the "Sino-British Trade Regulations Treaty" with the United Kingdom. After the signing of this treaty, the power of Chinese customs fell into the hands of the British for half a century! And the most important point is that the criminal opium trade is officially legalized! This has brought a heavier disaster to the Chinese nation... It is legal to smoke opium. Everyone is lying on the cigarette couch and vomiting clouds and fog. Can you still become the sick man of East Asia
Even if this is not the case, there are countless various humiliation treaties afterwards... If you fall behind, you will be beaten! After that, what are the Sino-British "Beijing Treaty", "Sino-British Conference Tibetan-India Treaty", "Sino-British Conference Tibetan-Indian Clause", "Sino-British Five-Port Commerce Charter", "Sino-British Yantai Treaty", etc.
One of the most frenzied is that we must also mention the "Xin Chou Treaty" signed by China and 11 countries including Britain, Russia, Germany, France, the Netherlands, etc. in 1901!
In this treaty, the amount of compensation that China needs to pay is the largest in history-450 million taels of silver need to be paid! Even because the amount was too large, the powers were very "enlightened" and allowed to pay in 39 years! Of course, high interest will never be less! The principal and interest totals 980 million taels of silver! The number is shocking!
But to lose so much money, how much of China's total fiscal revenue in a year? Only tens of millions of taels of silver! Should they not eat for 20 years? So such a huge indemnity... My suffering China is really miserable!
And now, it's time for revenge! With such a treaty...
(And Yang Shanlu is not afraid that he will not execute it. After all, this time it is considered to be "speaking well", and he did not kill him, otherwise, next time, he will kill Charles I, and even uproot his family. Will it be a difficult thing to start? Will it?)
After doing this, Yang Shanlu waved his hand with satisfaction when looking at the British king who was almost limp on the ground, "You can go now, and remember that you will have to pay the indemnity on time every year from now on. Oh, don't let me come to London again!"
"It must be!" The English king replied feebly (because the amount is too large, it will also be repaid in ten years, of course, interest must be added).
After sending the British king away like this, Yang Shanlu was still very happy after thinking about what he had done today.
Even with great interest, looking at the towering Baijin/Han Palace not far away, Yang Shanlu was thinking, now that he is here, do you want to go in for a tour? Perhaps it is possible to engrave General Daming to visit here in the most solemn part of the Baijin/Han Palace
However, Yang Shanlu was not a power in the later generations, and would not do such a desperate thing, but since he is here, it is impossible not to go there.
So Yang Shanlu enthusiastically visited the entire Platinum/Han Palace under the protection of his personal guards, and then the British/National Guys at this time were still very ignorant (for example, many people did not take a bath for a lifetime, just like this time when they came to negotiate. This is the case of the British/Chinese king, so the spices on his body are very strong, so as to cover up the peculiar smell on his body).
Including the famous Platinum/Han Palace of later generations, they are far less gorgeous than later generations!
But Yang Shanlu didn't care, he paid more attention to the meaning of this trip! Then after visiting the entire Platinum/Han Palace, he sat on the throne that the King of England or China usually made, and put on a pose for the artist to draw a picture-the picture of occupying the Yingyi Palace, so as to commemorate it!
After doing all this, Yang Shanlu felt that he could have fun, and then he was ready to leave and go to supervise two other things.
But at this moment, suddenly a guard came to report, saying that there was an important person from Britain seeking to see him! (End of this chapter)
