Er Mao looked at Zai Chun's gaffe and felt mixed feelings in his heart. He was originally hiding in the corner at the back of the team because he was not welcomed back home.
Ermao's spy has been completely exposed at this moment, but the Manchus and Qing Dynasties did not do anything to Ermao, because Ermao's identity is very sensitive, and sometimes the two sides still need such a bridge.
Er Mao has changed from a spy to an emissary for secret communication between the two parties. In this way, his life has become safer, because everyone needs a microphone, and killing Er Mao will not benefit either party.
Er Mao was safe, but because of his identity, he was destined not to be well-received. Er Mao was very lonely on his way back to China.
No one treats you badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. You will be given a separate cabin to live in. No one will give you a dishonest meal when ordering food from the small kitchen. Your monthly salary will not be less than a copper plate... But no one will pay attention to you and leave you alone. Get up when you are air.
There is a gathering. If you want to come forward, come forward. If you don't want to, just play with your antiques in the cabin. No one will give you a good look anyway.
Er Mao originally did not want to attend this welcome ceremony in the Lion City, but when he saw the overseas Chinese in that city and heard the familiar local accent and feelings, he also wanted to come and take advantage of the popularity.
This journey is so lonely!
From the beginning to the end, Er Mao has been hiding in the corner of the team. No one cares about him, and he will not care about others!
But now he couldn't help but stand up. Da Sixi and Xiao Sixi didn't dare to speak when the little emperor was angry. Now that a foreign governor was present, it would be embarrassing to send him overseas.
Er Mao spoke. He walked up to the British and Dutch Governors and bowed and saluted, "Two Governors, Your Majesty is not feeling well. Can you please take off your clothes?"
"Oh...oh...that's what you should do. Please rest, Your Majesty. If you have any requests, just ask..."
After finding a step, the two governors and their men left in a hurry. When they reached the corner of the corridor, the two looked at each other, "I didn't expect that Xiao Letian could not only win the battle, but also be at the negotiating table." The emperor has extorted so much war compensation... It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is panicking..."
"Of course, that's 290 million taels of silver! The Chinese nation's finances were suddenly revitalized, and the military and civil affairs all had money to do big things..."
Sigh... The two governors sighed and were speechless. They didn't know how Xiao Letian did it!
The Treaty of Frankfurt really exceeded human understanding at the time. It actually has little to do with whether the war can be won and how much war compensation will be extorted after victory.
When fighting a war, we must consider military issues, while the amount of war reparations must consider the interaction of diplomacy, the world situation, and various conspiracies and intrigues.
For example, two important wars in the rise of Japan. During the Sino-Japanese War, they secretly took a huge chunk of flesh and blood from the Qing Dynasty. However, during the Russo-Japanese War, they were clearly victorious, but in the end they did not extort even a dime of compensation.
There are many doorways here!
Xiao Letian used Prussia to win the war in the east, which surprised the world. Now he can extort so much war compensation at the negotiation table. This is really a miracle!
Even the governor couldn't understand it, let alone the little emperor Tongzhi!
At this moment, Zai Chun was really panicking from the bottom of his heart. A chill made him shiver involuntarily, as if the milk smoothie he had just eaten had all frozen in his internal organs.
My mind is almost spinning and I don’t know how to think!
Er Mao knew that strong medicine would be administered at this time, and the little emperor must be stimulated to wake up!
"Everyone else, please step aside! Your Majesty and I have something to talk about..."
"Er Mao... you... what are you going to do?" the senior shouted with joy and anguish, but Er Mao glared and scared him so much that he didn't dare to speak.
"You can do it, come on! We all retreat, and you stay here to persuade His Majesty..."
Da Sixi has been serving Emperor Tongzhi since he was a child. He knows the little emperor's temper very well. This is a precursor to an explosion. It's better to hide from this volcano.
A group of people retreated out with sullen eyebrows, leaving Er Mao and Emperor Tongzhi alone in the room!
"Your Majesty...Emperor Tongzhi...Zaichun..." Ermao spoke quietly and walked over slowly, "Wake up, are you confused after settling the accounts?"
"Let me tell you how much that is. It's 290 million taels of silver!"
"Zaichun, do you know how much the Qing Dynasty's annual income is now? It's less than 50 million taels... Do you know how many IOUs there are? It's more than half..."
"Every province is demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall, and every year eats grain... In other words, if the Ministry of Household Affairs can get 30 million taels, it will be considered a high price..."
"Now do you know how much money this is? Two hundred and ninety million taels of silver. That is the annual income of the Qing Dynasty for six years! It is the cash flow for twelve years!"
"Your Majesty, think about it, how many troops will the master train? One million or three million? Or five million troops?"
"Ah!" Zai Chun suddenly shouted and rushed towards Er Mao. Er Mao was not used to his bad habits. He twisted to avoid the emperor's poisonous hand, and then stretched out his foot to trip.
With a thud, Zai Chun fell to his knees, but he didn't expect the little emperor to take advantage of the situation and stop getting up. He lay on the ground and suddenly grinned and cried!
"Uuuuuuuuuuah...I hate it so much! I hate it so much!"
"Why doesn't the master want to be my minister of the Qing Dynasty? I'm willing to give the master a prince, but I can't do it? I'm willing to give him a king... Wuwuwu, why do you hate me so much?"
"I don't want to come back so early. I also want to experience the negotiation firsthand...Master, do you still have so many things that you haven't taught me? Wuwuwu..."
"Why don't I have 290 million? Why don't I have it... I am the emperor... Wuwuwu... Why am I still asking for money like a beggar..."
Howling and crying, Zai Chun was like a child, crying so much that he kicked his legs on the ground!
The Frankfurt Treaty really scared him. On the one hand, he was afraid. He was afraid that the master would go to war with the Qing Dynasty with so much military expenditure. How many soldiers would he have to raise with so much money? How could the Qing Dynasty fight?
On the other hand, it was greed. The astronomical figures made Zaichun's heart move. At that moment, he felt that I was the master's closed disciple and the highest status among all the disciples, so I should inherit the money!
I really want to be blind. From this point of view, Emperor Tongzhi is actually still a child who has not grown up!
Er Mao allowed the little emperor to vent for more than ten minutes. When the crying gradually subsided, he walked over and helped Emperor Tongzhi sit on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I know what you are thinking...but don't be so pessimistic. Take it one step at a time. I really want to know what the master is thinking?"
"Then let's take a good look at how the master will spend the money in the future..."
