Chapter 375 Friends from afar, please stay--
"See, my soldiers, look at these Westerners and see their faces clearly. Why can I do this today? And they only dared to stand there shivering. That's because peace does not depend on benevolence, righteousness and morality, but on the knives and guns in our hands.
Soldiers, remember my words and engrave him deeply on your bones and souls. The track of the chariot is our national border, the track of the warship is our territory, the flying bullet is our morality, and the shining bayonet is our truth.
Yes, you should keep in mind the truth of this era, that is power!" This is Liang Pengfei standing in front of the dirty blood and headless corpses everywhere, proclaiming the truth of this era to his subordinates and soldiers, that is, power!
"Strong power is the truth..." Wu Qian clenched his fist fiercely and responded in a low voice.
"Strong power is the truth..." Ni Ming and Sun Shijie looked at each other and saw the identity of this sentence in each other's eyes. Yes, if benevolence, righteousness and morality really work, it is impossible for Liang Pengfei to stand here waving knives and guns so arrogantly. Look at the performance of those Europeans. There are no sharp guns and no strength strong enough to scare them. Then, what will be present today will not be the groveling of these people, but their guns and bayonets.
You know, a few months ago, it was on this land that these Westerners did not use benevolence, righteousness and morality, nor did they use four books and five scriptures. They relied on powerful warships and sharp guns to knock on the door of the Qing court. Such a vivid example is in front of them. If they are counselors, even this If you can't see through it, you can drown yourself with a pee.
The terrible figure roaring with the three-edging bayonet that is still flowing with plasma has become a cloud that these people can never erase and the nightmare that makes them often wake up from their sleep.
"Perhaps only Satan, who can't even destroy God and walks in the boundless dark hell, can become his opponent." This is a classic comment left by Macartney in his diary, although this comment contains too much fear and hatred.
"If I were to choose my opponent, I would rather choose the devil than have any intersection with this guy." When Gronin left the mainland, he expressed his feelings about his subordinate Van Persie.
"May God testify that I will never want to set foot on this land again in my life, even if it is covered with gold and gems. Because Satan's oriental brothers are waiting here, longing for blood and death to worship. That's what Laudrup, an official of the Eastern colonies in Denmark, said.
"I think we Spain should become a firm ally with him, because I think it is very unwise for him to become the owner of this land even across the European continent and offend such a powerful figure." Governor Marcelo's words made Villamo, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Spain, helpless.

"What's going on, Your Excellency Führer, I'd like to hear your explanation? Why did you let Si be the ambassador of the envoy to the West instead of me? You know, before that, you have promised me to go back to the West and tell our His Majesty and Parliament what happened, so that they can make the right choice, but now, you have gone back on your words. This is definitely not what a believer of God who keeps his promise should do, nor what a monarch should do. Path." Macartney's face turned red, and the fat on his face trembled with his excited shouts.
"Your Excellency Ambassador, please calm down. Anger doesn't help us look at things rationally, does it, does it, dear Mr. Staundong? Besides, I didn't say that I would not let you return to the West. I just asked your distant friend to stay for a while. There are many things with you, and it seems much more convenient to do. After all, you are a diplomat trusted by His Majesty the King of England and the British Parliament. Liang Pengfei turned his head with a smile and looked at his son Xiao Sidangdong in his arms, with a complicated expression of the British East India Company in Macao, and the deputy envoy of the British Empire's mission.
"Yes, dear Sir, Sir, please calm down first. It is reasonable for Sir Sir to arrange this." Donton didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Lord Macartney, who almost stared out of his eyes. Although it is a little unnatural to do so, he must make a right and wise choice for his own freedom and for his only son.
"Mr. George, please listen to the reason of the head of state first. Please remember that he is the master here." Liang Sanhuai stood beside Macartney and advised in a low voice.
"Well, my dear Führer, I want to hear your reason why you chose to return to the West instead of me." Macartney finally woke up from his anger. He knew that he had to vent moderately, otherwise he would really annoy the oriental man sitting there with a smile. What's more, he really couldn't eat and walk away. What's more, he didn't explain even if he farted and let Si Dangdong go to England directly. What could he do? You can't just drop your teeth and swallow them in your stomach.
"In fact, it's very simple. Your monarch, George III and your English have not been able to complete any of the tasks assigned to your envoys. If you go back like this, it will have a great impact on your official career, right?" Liang Pengfei smiled at the look of a cigar with a slap that I actually thought of you.
Macartney suppressed the impulse to smash the strong stool under his buttocks on this annoying face and said with resentment: "I think you know this better than me. I know that you know the Western culture and political system very well."
Liang Pengfei nodded: "Yes, dear George, please allow me to call you that. After all, you have won my friendship after being together for a long time, so I don't think you will mind?"
"Of course not, dear Führer, but I think we should talk about the reason why you let Stangdong instead of me return to the West." Macartney pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed. Become friends with you? I'd rather make a deal with Satan, at least Satan is much more than you keep your promise.
"Ha ha, that's good, dear George, I think you can talk to me about your conditions." The smile on Liang Pengfei's face seemed more sincere and frank. Don't be surprised. I'm serious.
"Do you mean that you are willing to sign that trade agreement with our British Empire?" Macartney suddenly jumped up from the stool. Yes, he really didn't expect it, but Liang Pengfei's credit level was really low in his impression, so Macartney's eyes and tone seemed so confused.
--------------------
"Of course, although I have not yet become the master of this continent, there are many things that I can decide, such as trade, such as cultural and artistic exchanges between our two countries. Therefore, I think we should all show our sincerity to talk about the diplomatic and trade agreement between us. Liang Pengfei spread out his hands and replied.
If Macartney knew the contempt gesture of looking back, he had raised two middle fingers at Liang Pengfei in his heart at this moment, but now, he can only force a smile. Sincerity, dear head of state, I don't mean to offend you, but I really don't know how to guarantee you, of course, including me, that is, our sincerity. Macartney would not believe that this guy could spit out the truth in his mouth, so he decided not to see the rabbit or the eagle.
However, it is undeniable that Liang Pengfei's words did scratch the itch in his heart. As an unlucky loser and a poor man, he returned to England and endured the embarrassing accusations of the parliament, as well as His Majesty's disappointed eyes, and may even become a defendant in court. This way is indeed not The ending that Lord Macartney, a proud and excellent diplomat, hopes to get.
"Creegrapher, go and invite my father-in-law to come in." Liang Peng flew to the white scholar beside him and tilted his head. Soon, in Macartney's stunned eyes, several Chinese came in from outside the door. Macartney just looked puzzled, but Si Dangdong's expression was very surprised and shocked. He pulled out the little Sidangdong standing in front of him and quickly stepped forward to meet him. Go." " Mr. Cai, Mr. Ye, and Mr. Lu. My God, why are you..."
"I have met my father-in-law, my uncle, and Uncle Lu. Dear Mr. Stonedong, I still don't introduce these three distinguished guests to the distinguished ambassador. Liang Pengfei put the cigar on the ashtray and came forward to greet the three respectfully.
Pan Youdu and Ye Shanglin accepted it calmly, but Lu Guanheng did not dare to be so generous that he quickly took Liang Pengfei's arm and said that he couldn't do it.
"Hir, please allow me to solemnly introduce to you Mr. Pan Youdu, the chairman of the famous Tongfu Bank." Shi Dangdong's performance at this moment seemed to be a little tight. Even when he was facing the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, he was not as nervous as he was at this time, because Pan Youdu was his idol. In the West, decades ago, the name of Tongfuxing among the thirteen lines in Guangdong had spread in the West.
For those officials who are greedy and only know how to accept bribes, but do not know how to govern the country and train the army, Pan Youdu in front of him, who has huge assets but has always adhered to the reputation of businessmen and has a reputation in Europe, is really worthy of the worship of the money-oriented Westerners.
