Chapter 479 General Chinese representative living at 42 Baker Street, London, UK!
In an apartment on Baker Street in the City of London, on the island of England, Liang Sanhuai, who was wearing a suit and wearing a tie, was holding a small mouthful of black tea, and beside him was a Chinese man in a silk shirt with braids on the back of his head, who was also tasting the black tea.
"Today is the last day. Damn Britons, I didn't expect that they were so procrastinating. For the sake of those prisoners of war, they had the ability to argue in parliament for more than a month." Liang Sanhuai put down the teacup, picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, and handed one to the Chinese sitting opposite him with a smile: "Mr. Xie, I'm sorry, these days are anxious and a little rude."
"You're welcome, but up to now, it's still hard for me to believe that Lord Liang has forced the most powerful maritime empire in Europe to be so taboo..." Xie Qinggao sighed.
"Hehe, Brother Xie, I don't know if you would like to go back to the East to have a look. I know that you are an oriental person who has almost traveled around the world. It should be said that you are the first Chinese to come out to see the world. It has been more than ten years since you came out. I really admire your courage and determination." Liang Sanhuai looked at the one in front of him and looked a little thin, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Since these days of our exchanges, I am convinced that your wisdom and knowledge will help us all."
The middle-aged man in front of him actually traveled almost all over the world with Western merchant ships. Nanyang, Europe and the New World almost all left his footprints. Since a month ago, after meeting Xie Qinggao by chance, Liang Sanhuai admired Xie Qinggao, who took the initiative to come out to see the world.
After more than a month of dating, the two formed a close friendship. Liang Sanhuai was very interested in Xie Qinggao's experience. Similarly, Xie Qinggao was also full of enthusiasm for inquiry for Liang Pengfei and the head of state behind Liang Sanhuai.
Although he has been away from his hometown for a long time, this does not prevent him from missing his hometown. It is really a good news that he can't be surprised to meet his father in a foreign country. When he heard that Liang Sanhuai inadvertently mentioned that his leader had defeated the power of England in India and captured more than 10,000 British prisoners of war. At first, he thought that there was something wrong with his ears, and then he thought that this guy was bragging 13, but when the one returned to the east of Europe with Liang Sanhuai After the Indian company Dabans Dangdong admitted this fact with a helpless face, Xie Qinggao felt that the world was crazy.
--------------------
At the kind invitation of Liang Sanhuai, Xie Qinggao temporarily resigned from his employer. An English merchant who was going to stay in London for the first half of the year and reunite with his family came to Liang Sanhuai's residence. What's more unexpected is that Liang Sanhuai has been in this house for more than a month and has met at least 20 Chinese people. The earliest people have lived here for several years. A standard and typical London accent made Xie Qing Gao's heart indescribably shocked.
Gradually, from Liang Sanhuai's mouth, he finally knew a series of events that had happened in the East, the mainland and the Nanyang in the past ten years since he left home. For Liang Pengfei, he couldn't help but be full of deep awe and fanatical worship in his heart.
The reason why he left the East was not only because of his curiosity about the unknown world, but also because of his resentment against the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Now, the sudden birth of such a dazzling Chinese hero is like letting him see a glimmer of hope, smashing the rotten rule of the rotten Manchu Qing Dynasty, and restoring the bones and self of China. Respectful hope.
"No, brother Sanhuai, I want to stay in Europe." Hearing Liang Sanhuai's invitation, Xie Qinggao thought for a while and still declined Liang Sanhuai's suggestion.
"Why? Doesn't Brother Xie want to go back to his hometown? You know, now, the East is in a changing opportunity. Liang Sanhuai was a little stunned.
"It's not that I don't want to go back, but that I went back, which doesn't help your adult." Xie Qinggao pushed his glasses and showed a shy smile: "Last time you said, Lord Liang has appointed you as the plenipotentiary representative of China in the West. You will stay here and negotiate with other countries for the benefit of China. Although Xie is just a translation, after so many years, he also has a good understanding of the West, so if the virtuous brother doesn't give up, I want to stay in Europe.
"Is this true?!" Liang Sanhuai couldn't help showing joy at this moment. After seeing Xie Qinggao nodded with a smile. Liang Sanhuai couldn't help stroking his palms and laughing: "Okay, okay, Brother Xie is willing to stay. In fact, I can't wait for it even more. That's great! Brother Xie, who has traveled around Western countries and intersects with those maritime aristocrats in various countries, is indeed very helpful to our cause.
"Oh, isn't that Mr. Sdang's carriage? He must have brought the final conclusion. Liang Sanhuai laughed and saw the carriage coming quickly in the distant street through the balcony. Liang Sanhuai stood up, took a deep breath, held her inner excitement, and looked very calm.
Xie Qinggao also stood next to the balcony and looked at the haggard Si Dangdong coming down from the carriage. After seeing the two of them on the balcony on the third floor, he nodded and said hello and went straight to the gate.
"It seems that Mr. Sdangdong is having a hard time with these days." Xie Qinggao couldn't help laughing.
The corners of Liang Sanhuai's mouth bent slightly, and his smile was so cold. You don't know that Mr. Stone is one of the main conspirators who tried his best to promote the British East India Company's attack on the mainland, but the result made him very disappointed and even had an inescapable responsibility. If he didn't need him to continue to bear the subsequent embarrassing affairs, I'm afraid he would have been sent to prison long ago.
"Aha, my dear friend, Mr. Sdangdong, you came more than an hour earlier than I expected. That's great. I'm having afternoon tea with Brother Xie. Do you want some?" Seeing the figure emerging along the stairs, Liang Sanhuai put on a kind and enthusiastic master's demeanor and walked forward.
"Need, I need it so much. Thank you, Mr. Liang, and you. Nice to meet you, Mr. Xie. Those damn parliamentarians almost drove me crazy. From the morning to now, I have nothing to fill my stomach except a loaf of bread and a small glass of milk. Si Dangdong couldn't wait to walk to the small round table, picked up the cakes in the small plate and stuffed them into his mouth, just like the hungry ghost who had just come out of hell.
Liang Sanhuai and Xie Qinggao wanted to smile, turned around and sat back on the chair next to the small round table, slowly sip the tea, and watched the big class of the East India Company wolf down there.
Almost swept away all the snacks on the table. After pouring two cups of black tea, Si Dangdong exhaled contented contentedly and saw Liang Sanhuai and Xie Qing looking at himself with a faint smile. He couldn't help blushing and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter. Do you need some more?" Liang Sanhuai smiled and raised the teacup in his hand and said.
"No, thank you. By the way, I finally came up with the results today. I think this should be what you want to see. The important thing is that our British Empire has decided to make great concessions for the friendship between the East and the West." After wiping his mouth, he opened a small suitcase in his hand. After opening it, he solemnly took out a treaty from it and put it on the small round table.
--------------------
Liang Sanhuai rubbed his fingers, seemed to be thinking about something carefully, and took a deep breath. That's why I picked up the thick treaty. To be honest, Liang Sanhuai is indeed a little worried. If today's treaty is still too far from expectations, then it is equivalent to breaking the negotiations, which may have a serious impact on the young master's plan.
However, with tens of thousands of British prisoners of war in their hands, these tens of thousands of lives alone have forced the English parliamentarians who flaunt the civilized world to carefully consider the terrible consequences of the rupture of the elbow.
Although there are not many people who know that the Indian garrison has become Liang Pengfei's prisoner of war now, no one can guarantee that the news will spread at any time. After all, at that time, not only the Eastern head of state named Liang Pengfei participated in the war, but almost all Western countries in the East participated in it. .
So, now the British king and the parliament are very tense. Although they are located on the British islands and are outside the European mainland, it is undeniable that their strength is not enough to fight against the whole of Europe. Besides, if the lives of more than 10,000 British [***] people are really slaughtered by that guy, then, whether it is the parliament or the king, will be forcibly annihirated by the people, that is to say, they have to obey the will of the people and send troops to the East to avenge the English soldiers.
However, according to the information transmitted back and the story of Sdangdong, the British king and those ministers and parliamentarians understand a truth that if they really want to use force, the most optimistic estimate is that at least more than half of the British mainland fleet will be used to send troops to the East, and from the British mainland to the East, At least after more than a year of sea, it will take nearly three years to go back and forth.
But if something happens to the already chaotic European continent during this period, such as France, which is in chaos, stands up again, then the fleet in the far east can't count on it at all.
Therefore, after weighing the weight, the British king and members of Parliament had to lower their proud heads angrily and accept the embarrassing conditions proposed by Liang Pengfei.
