Chapter 29 The peace treaty was signed, and the war between China and the Mao Xiong Kingdom ceased.

Blue Star On November 1, 1863, in the Sa District of Far Western China (the provincial capital is Kizi City), 10 legions led by Zuo Zongtang were already assembled and ready to launch the next round of major offensive.

In the Harbin area, the defenders of Wucheng have been holding on until now despite running out of ammunition and food, and have not yet surrendered.

Minister Mao Xiong was the first to find Chinese Minister Li Hongzhang for consultation.

Minister Mao Xiong kept knocking on the door in front of the Chinese Embassy office, but no one opened the door.

"We clearly made an appointment to negotiate at this time, but why is there no one there?"

The Minister of Mao Xiong was walking back and forth at the door, clenching his right hand into a fist and constantly clapping his left hand, showing how impatient he was.

Because the Mao Xiong Kingdom is very afraid that China will attack Mocheng desperately.

At this time, Shi Dakai was talking to Li Hongzhang in the office of the Chinese Embassy and informed him of the conditions acceptable to China.

Shi Dakai signaled Li Hongzhang to open the door and hid behind the screen.

With a click, the door opened.

"Mr. Minister, why didn't you react inside for so long? The sooner we negotiate for a second, the more soldiers in front can be saved."

The Minister of the Bear Country strode into the embassy office and sat on the sofa.

"I was too tired from work and fell asleep accidentally just now. I'm sorry!"

Li Hongzhang motioned for the staff to prepare tea and sat opposite the Minister of Mao Xiong.

"Mr. Minister, let me get straight to the point. War is harmful and unhelpful to both our countries. The United Kingdom and the Gallic Kingdom are our common enemies. If we continue to fight, aren't we just enmity against our relatives? Is it a quick thing?"

Minister Mao Xiong looked directly at Li Hongzhang, waiting for his response.

"Why didn't you think of this when you attacked Haocheng?"

Li Hongzhang said calmly.

At this time the staff brought tea in.

"Mr. Minister, drink tea first, don't be in a hurry."

Li Hongzhang pointed to the tea.

"Mr. Minister, can you tell me your conditions? I'm here to find a peaceful solution."

"Then let me get it straight. China's conditions are very simple. Your country recognizes Sa and Kazakhstan as part of China's New Republic of China, and compensates 500,000 new Chinese yuan as war compensation and pensions for soldiers in Haocheng. In addition, it allows China to Use the rails of Wooly Bear Country to ship merchandise, and of course, we pay the freight.”

After hearing what Li Hongzhang said, Minister Mao Xiongguo was a little panicked. This was obviously an unequal treaty. Fortunately, the conditions were not so harsh.

The Harbin and Sa area were originally obtained by the Mao Xiong Kingdom by invading other countries. Moreover, now that China is occupied, it is very difficult to take them back from the Chinese Army.

The compensation of 500,000 Chinese New RMB is not a lot and is acceptable.

It’s okay to earn freight by transporting supplies.

"We still need to consider this condition again."

"Mr. Minister, there is nothing to consider. If the Chinese army attacks Mocheng, your country's vitality will be severely damaged. You are so close to the Mizi Kingdom and the Gaul Kingdom, they will definitely take advantage of it to rob you."

"When the time comes, the conditions under which the contract will be signed will be far worse than what we have now."

Li Hongzhang took the initiative.

"Your country must understand that you have no choice."

"Okay, our country can agree to this treaty, can you guarantee that your leadership will not add any additional conditions?"

"I can promise."

Shi Dakai walked out from behind the screen, and the Minister of Mao Xiong Kingdom was startled when he heard Shi Dakai's voice.

Li Hongzhang quickly gave up his seat and prepared some tea.

"Mr. President, why are you here? May I ask when we can sign a contract to cease the war?"

"anytime."

Blue Star On November 5, 1863, China and the Mao Xiong Kingdom signed a treaty in Nerchinsk, and all the defenders of Wucheng were evacuated. From then on, the Harbin and Sa area became provinces of China.

Li Hongzhang never imagined that he would be able to force other countries to sign unequal treaties as a representative of a powerful country in his lifetime.
