One hundred and ten, the debt is repaid before the country is allowed to subjugate!
One hundred and ten, pay back the debt first before the country will be destroyed
In this Nanjing strategy battle, except for a few elite backbones of the eunuch party, Admiral Fili Taylor did not use any local allies.
Even Li Huamei's Li family fleet was excluded from the sequence of attacking Nanjing, but was asked to divide troops into two groups, part of the troops landed in Zhenjiang, sweep away the surrounding cities such as Dantu and Changzhou, who had not yet made their position, to stabilize the retreat. The other part continued to go up the river and guided the areas upstream with the imperial dragon flag, until they met with the ** army in Wuhan. Now there is another new task, namely, to pursue the fleeing Emperor Kant.
There are also 20,000 Zhejiang troops of the veteran Yang Xien of Li Huamei, who had already captured Huzhou and Yixing along the official road, and arrived in Lishui. They were only a hundred miles away from Nanjing, but they were sent by Feili to attack southern Anhui. In short, they were not allowed to come to Nanjing to intervene.
The reason why I delayed in Zhenjiang for several days and did not take advantage of the momentum of defeating the main force of the official army to attack the capital was mainly because everyone was busy arguing - Feili wanted to enjoy the glory of conquering the imperial capital Nanjing and sent most of the allies elsewhere to grab territory.
All the Allied Army of ** Party were obviously very reluctant to accept Feili's "rational arrangements" - not only did Admiral Li Huamei slam the table and roar, claiming that the capital of his motherland could not be liberated by foreign invaders. Even Prime Minister Wen Desi, who had always been in a divine dragon, brought a group of mobs from Shanghai to join in the fun, saying that he wanted to contribute to the final expulsion of the Tartars.
For a moment, Feili was so overwhelmed by them. After a few days of quarrel, she simply left the difficult guys in Zhenjiang and ignored them. She led the main force and some of the men of Yayi'an, and went straight to the outskirts of Nanjing to launch a strategy independently.
——Who thought that he had already planned to part ways, but Admiral Li Huamei still chased after him.
Hey, even if a woman chases a man, I can't bear to you under your pomegranate skirt. This is the fundamental issue of principle (laughs)
In fact, there is a reason why Feili made such arbitrary arrangement in the offensive and defensive battle in Nanjing that even hesitated to the hearts of his allies.
First of all, there is a lack of trust in these temporary allies - most people in this world can share hardships, but not wealth. In the past, the situation was in danger, and the ** Party could only barely survive and should not seek death. But the current destruction of the imperial court is a foregone conclusion, and the dawn of victory is far away. Who knows whether they will be stunned and stabbed the knife from the back and cause internal strife?
——From ancient times to the present, from the East to the West, there have always been tragic heroes who fell a moment before victory...Fili felt that he was already tragic enough now, and there was no need to gather more members, and there was no need to compete with those famous and declining people for the title of "Trace Emperor".
Secondly, Feili didn't want these allies to touch his cake - don't forget that his main task this time was to collect debts. Although the target of collecting debts was the Dajin court,
But overall, I was also taking money from the pocket of Xianglong Empire.
Obviously, no one of the leaders of the ** Party and warlords who had divided the legacy of the old empire would be willing to bear this debt.
Although people who lend money loans do everything they can when collecting debts, they are also afraid of forcing the debt-owed guys to death and turning them into dead debts.
Therefore, Feili must take advantage of the complete overthrow of the Great Jin Dynasty and seize the time to recover the huge debt - you, who is not paying back the debt, will cause a huge disaster and make yourself die alive even if the court has been alive for a few days, it will definitely die, and it is estimated that it will die miserably, extremely miserable and tragic. You must pay back the debt first, and then you are qualified to die.
However, the ** Party also seemed to have been fond of the huge wealth accumulated in Nanjing over the years, as well as the supreme glory of overthrowing the imperial court, restoring the imperial capital, and ending the Tatar dynasty. As for which one is the main goal and which one is the secondary goal, it can only be seen in terms of the person and the wise.
In this way, there was an essential conflict between the two sides in terms of interests. On the issue of monopolizing the wealth of the capital, Feili could not make any even the smallest concessions, otherwise if the financial hole could not be filled, he would be dead.
So, seeing Li Huamei chasing her again, Feili couldn't help but feel a headache for a moment - are you still going to finish it?
With a long sigh of turbid breath, he decided to make it open and honest about it and make all the private activities behind the scenes. Therefore, he waved his hand to signal the father-in-law Yayi'an to leave with others, and then he did not say anything high-sounding, and directly pointed out the most core issue:
"...Admiral Li Huamei, before I answer the above question, I hope you can answer me a question first: After you overthrow the Great Jin court and establish a new central government, will you still recognize and inherit the 56 million taels of silver foreign debt owed to our five countries, as well as the tens of millions of taels of military expenses for our army this time, and at the fastest speed, to be precise, it will be repaid within one or two months?"
"...This...is probably a little difficult. As far as the territory of the entire empire is concerned, our ** Party only occupies a very small area. Therefore, we must first contact the leaders of other provinces and convene a peaceful national construction meeting with extensive participation of representatives of various forces across the country, and then a new central government can be produced and a consultation will be held on the implementation of the former foreign treaties..."
As soon as he mentioned this key question, Li Huamei was speechless and hesitated for a while before he hesitating.
"...Okay, there is no need to talk to me for being perfunctory. This will only make me look down on you and your comrades even more."
Feili waved her hand in vain, "...Not to mention whether your illusory peaceful nation-building conference can be held, and whether you can discuss the results in a year or two after it is held. Even if the final ends successfully, a national leader who is highly respected is elected, and in order to ensure the support rate of the people, he will be willing to
I will definitely turn around and lie to the huge debt, and say to us shamelessly: Want to collect debts? You have found the wrong person. You should clearly find those Tartars to go, but where should I go to find Tartars? Underworld?"
Next, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, "... What's more, I'm not optimistic about your country's future future, although you have ended an old empire, you are not ready to rebuild a new country. The situation of warlords separating the country and splitting is basically inevitable now. Even if you can barely win a short period of peace through a ceasefire meeting, it will be just a crispy pancake sandwiched between two wars at that time, and dozens of warlords of all sizes emerge in the whole country. Who should we ask for the account?
When we reach that situation, would we still want our army to take action again to help your country carry out endless wars of unity, to eradicate the vassal states one by one, and to contact all forces to reorganize the new regime, but the ultimate goal is just to enable this country to restore its ability to repay debts?"
"...Obviously," Feili said firmly at last, "...our army does not have so much time and energy to waste. The only way to collect debts as soon as possible is to scrape the land from the city in front of us. Therefore, any force that dares to obstruct this action is my enemy, even you are no exception. Admiral Li Huamei hopes that you don't make it difficult for us to do it."
"...But these wealth are all the people's fat and ointment that the Manchu Tartars plundered from our compatriots."
Although he knew that he had no trump card to negotiate terms, Li Huamei was still struggling for the final struggle, "... Only regimes that truly represent the people and are supported by the people are qualified to determine their purpose..."
"...Represent the people? Are you talking about you?" Feili scoffed at this, "...Who do you think you are? Admiral Li Huamei, I can guarantee here that there must be thousands of people in this country, and I will definitely not want your ** Party to be 'represented'."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again, "...In this cruel world where the jungle law is popular, power is always axiom, Admiral Li Huamei, I think you should understand this too. Although I understand that you want to protect the interests of the country, not to mention that your fallacies are simply untenable. Just relying on the victorious army in my hands is the greatest axiom. In short, you can grab it anywhere else, but Nanjing will definitely not have your share."
Regarding Fili Taylor's ultimatum, Admiral Li Huamei frowned slightly and chose to surrender - in fact, from the beginning, she seemed to have the idea of asking for a lot of money and paying it off on the spot.
"...Okay, I can restrain the ** organizations in various parts of the south and no longer interfere with the exclusive possession of Nanjing by your army. But as compensation, I hope your army can sponsor a batch of arms and lend 30 large merchant ships free of charge to help carry Uncle Yang Xien's army to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, occupy Tongling, Chizhou, Anqing and other important river towns, capture Anhui Province in the shortest time, and regain the last piece of land stolen by the Tartar court."
“
... By the way, I will also compete with the ** party members in Wuhan and Nanchang for territory. Let’s not see any signs? Haha, ** has not succeeded yet, is the internal strife going to begin?"
Feili smiled slightly sarcastically, "...Borrowing merchant ships should not be a problem. The arms can only squeeze out 200 new rifles for you at most. But as far as I know, in Huaixi, there is currently the last field army of the old empire - the 50,000 troops of King Wanyan Chubai of Wei. I wonder how you plan to eliminate this trouble that hinders your control of Anhui on the battlefield far away from the Yangtze River waterway and lose the support of the fleet artillery fire?"
"...You will not bother with this!"
Admiral Li Huamei said in a somewhat cold tone, "...Our comrades are everywhere and even penetrated into some organizations... So please care about yourself first."
Speaking of this, a hint of sarcasm appeared on her face, "... According to your previous tone, you seem to have regarded the wealth in Beijing as your own pocket? But no matter what, this Nanjing City is also a super metropolis with a population of millions. Even though many citizens have escaped, at least 300,000 to 400,000 people are left. Most of them are the Eight Banners Tartars, and they must struggle to the end in despair.
Hehe, if we hadn't mobilized local gangs and heroes from the world to help your army attack the city, would you think that you could compete with the dying Tartars on the streets and fill the flesh and blood mills in the street fighting in the city without us losing much territory after being thrown into the city."
"...Your Excellency is not bothering you, Admiral Li Huamei."
Feiri replied indifferently and politely, "... Although my people have not penetrated into some organizations, they can still bring trembling from their souls, and make them kneel before me with fear."
