Chapter 109 The admitted officer

And the officers are now extremely overwhelmed.

They originally thought that why Xuan single-killing civil officials was all their business, and they were not afraid.

As a result, Jackson is now hiding in the barracks, among the troops, and is assassinated. Even after the assassination, he doesn't even know when he died, which is so shocking.

However, it is unlikely that these hawkish officers can honestly admit defeat!

So, I discussed this time, but there was no result in the end.

However, next, officers were constantly assassinated.

There is a major general.

There is a colonel.

There is a lieutenant colonel.

Even in the end, British Lieutenant General Meitel was assassinated.

This is shocking.

Lieutenant General Meitel, as a lieutenant general, has many heavy protections around him.

Such characters will be assassinated unconsciously under the protection of countless people. This is quite surprising.

So far, Britain still has 600,000 local troops, 500,000 overseas troops, and a total of 1.1 million troops, with basically no loss. The combat power is not damaged.

However, many British officers and civilians were killed by He Xuan.

People are afraid of death.

Now they no longer care about being tough.

"Peace talks, peace talks, peace talks must be negotiated. Isn't it just 50 million taels of silver? We can take it." A British lieutenant general slapped the table and shouted. He was a tough hawkish person not long ago, and he was determined not to negotiate.

"Indeed, we can't continue to hit it now, otherwise our heads would not last long on our necks." A major general next to him nodded and said.

"Oh, you know there is a peace talk," said the civilian minister with a sneer.

"What's the quarrel?" Queen Victoria, worthy of being the Queen of England, stopped the two groups of people who were about to start a quarrel at a critical moment: "Now, there is really no need to fight with the Chinese Emperor. Sir Alexander, you should go for this negotiation. Tell the Chinese Emperor that we can have a peace talk. But the details of the peace talks will definitely not be announced to the people."

"We can offer it to you for fifty million taels of silver."

"Of course, there are some details."

Queen Victoria said this, and no one else objected.

Sir Alexander could only shrug and it was time to go on his own again.

...

London.

A dark room.

A tavern.

A man in black robe came in.

The man in black robes ordered five servings of barbecue, twenty pieces of bread, and a cup of whiskey in skillful English.

"The winter in London is quite cold. The fog here is really big." The man in black robe sighed: "No, this is not fog, it is haze."

The smog is gradually known to the people in China in the 21st century.

However, at that time, London was a very polluted place, once called the Fog City. The medical technology in the 19th century was not very good, and many people died because of this thing back then.

"The air here is so bad." The man in black robe said to the other end of the street, deep in the mist.

And in the depths of the fog, a handsome blonde man walked over.

Sir Alexander!

The celebrity in front of the Queen of England now!

He walked not far from He Xuan and performed a standard British gentleman's ceremony: "See the Chinese Emperor, the Lord of the Taiping Army."

The man in black robe smiled and fell off the black hat on his head: "Your British intelligence system is good, and I found me so soon."

"Actually, the Chinese Emperor made us discover it on purpose." Sir Alexander smiled, and immediately two teams of British soldiers came out and forked the rest of the people in the tavern.

"This time I came here, I was ordered by the Queen to negotiate with the Chinese Emperor."

"Peace talk?" He Xuan smiled: "When I first made my request, weren't you unwilling to agree? Why, now I think of agreeing?"

Sir Alexander's face remained unchanged and he smiled slightly: "Your Majesty's magical power is great, and we have to accept it. The Queen has agreed to this peace talk. We will give the fifty million taels of silver that Your Majesty wants. However, there are several requests."

"First, this matter cannot be announced to the public. Our British government is still shameless. Of course, if private rumors among the people are fine, the official cannot admit it."

"Second, after this matter, our Great Britain and His Majesty's China will not invade each other within ten years. Within these ten years, His Majesty will not enter Britain privately. Of course, if our British government causes trouble first, His Majesty can also enter Britain."

There are third, fourth, and fifth items behind, but none of them are critical.

The real key is the second one.

ten years!

Britain is now the most powerful country in the world.

They have absolute confidence.

They believe that no matter what the future holds, they will continue to be strong.

Now, they can't deal with He Xuan.

But I also believe that in ten years, their weapons will have a breakthrough and defeat He Xuan.

They never gave up fighting for hegemony with He Xuan.

He Xuan also knew that if he really fought, he would not be able to lose. After all, Britain led a million troops, the strongest empire in the world. So he also wanted to negotiate. But for ten years? The British government was really ambitious. Within ten years, it wanted to develop stronger weapons to deal with it.

I can no longer become stronger in this plane.

However, He Xuan was not worried about this.

To put it bluntly, China is now the Dali Dynasty. Under its own governance, the Dali Dynasty emphasizes science and over literature. In contrast, the level of science will continue to rise. It is not difficult for one to withstand the West for 20 years. In 2000, the technological level of the Dali Dynasty will not exceed that of the United Kingdom, but it should not be difficult to get close to it.

He Xuan discussed the details with Sir Alexander again.

Finally, the peace talks were finalized.

Get 50 million taels of silver!

This is equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the Qing court in two or three years!

Moreover, the greatest significance is that even Britain, the world's most powerful country, honestly admitted defeat and lost money! This was the first time in the world. I thought that in history, Britain sent thousands of people to attack Beijing and burn the Old Summer Palace. In this plane, it could fight tens of thousands of miles alone and fight to London, forcing the British government to honestly pay 50 million taels.

Cool!

The peace talks went very quickly, and it took only half a day to make the peace talks set.

And the British side immediately stamped the seal.

This made the British officers and civil servants breathe a sigh of relief. They didn't want to face He Xuan's assassination when they were beaten to death. They could finally send this evil star away.

After He Xuan handled this section, he planned to send other countries to collect debts.

There are more than one in the UK who owes debt.
