Therefore, Long Hao predicted that the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 should be launched later than in history, which gave him time to start a war on China's strategy.

Long Hao should try his best to avoid the title of the Iron Hat King, and avoid the imprint of the Aisin Gioro family, because he had long given the decay of the corrupt Qing Dynasty a death row, so how could he work hard to be its prince?

He is the alchemy king, and in terms of status, he should at least be equal to Emperor Guangxu.

One of the important tasks of Long Hao’s return to China this time is to rectify his reputation!

However, before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the last pillar inside the Qing Dynasty had not yet exposed the hollow inside, and the room could survive... Therefore, Long Hao would not have any major conflicts with the Qing court this time, and making a fortune in silence was his main goal.

With the "tiger-skinned banner" of the Iron Hat King, it would be wonderful if he could acquire a territory in the Qing Dynasty, or obtain a port in the East China Sea, South China Sea and Yuemin.

Now that submarines have begun mass production in Xiajia, Long Hao is confident that he can take advantage of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 to find a natural opportunity for himself to take over China!

Japan is destined to be a stepping stone to ascend the throne.

That vulgar island country shouldn’t have a country!

When he thought of the reasons for the outbreak of the three wars in later generations, Long Hao was full of contempt and disgust for the predecessor of this defeated island...

After Long Hao and his party arrived in China, they did not go directly to meet Guangxu and Cixi. Instead, they met Liu Kun, the actual leader of the Nanyang Navy, the governor of Liangjiang.

When Long Hao and Liu Kun talked about something, let’s keep it a secret. Let’s talk about August 10th. The negotiating team led by Li Enfu reached an armistice agreement with White House representatives in Chicago.

In the agreement, the United States does not seem to suffer much loss.

The main content is as follows: The armistice, the army of the North Island Kingdom (the Alchemy Kingdom has not yet been officially called out) will evacuate the four western states, while the United States will recognize the independence of Alaska. Baja California is officially incorporated into the North Island Kingdom from Mexico.

(They don't care about Mexico's ideas anymore. After this trouble, Mexico is considered dead in name only.)

As for war reparations, Li Enfu didn't ask for much, just 10 million US dollars, this figure made the President of Cleveland breathe a sigh of relief, at least in the face of the public, he could explain it.

However, the president has face, but the undisclosed additional clauses under the agreement have made Rockefeller and other super consortiums extremely dissatisfied.

First, the San Francisco Exchange is no longer under federal surveillance. It has become an exchange with independent pricing and bargaining qualifications in the Pan Pacific region;

Second, federal troops are not allowed to enter the four western states without permission from the California state government, and the original army stationed sites in the four states were also removed one by one;

Third, the four western states have ownership of railways west of Nevada. If federal trains still lead to the west, they must pay according to the stamp;

Fourth, the Federation shall not exclude the goods of Longhao's companies from entering the eastern market, and the tax rate shall be levied according to the minimum standard and shall be tentatively set for three years;

Fifth, the US military shall not set foot on Mexico again, and Cuba must give up half of it to give Savi's restoration army as a development territory;

...

This series of conditions made John Rockefeller very angry. I thought that after more than four months, I finally shot myself in the foot, and the loss was not worth it!

Although the United States suffered a loss, it was still within an acceptable range.

Anyway, those White House politicians have figured out. The peace agreement is like toilet paper, covering up the filthiness and filth. As long as you leave the toilet and reply well, you can smash it back on the other party's face at any time. No one can admit it!

In the final analysis, on earth, the game between countries is just a matter of strength.

Although the war in the United States failed, Rockefeller and others and the White House politicians had sufficient confidence. In less than two years, they could avenge their previous shame.

At that time, the Earl of North Sea will have to spit out as much as he wants to spit out with his capital and interest!

Now, let it bear it first!

After all, the United States has not gained nothing in the negotiations. For example, Seattle's military port is still in the hands of the Federal Navy.

The Federal Navy was also somewhat unexpected about this result, but when I thought that the leader of the Seattle Navy was a Chinese, this result was just as good as it was.

With Seattle, a natural seaport that enters the Pacific Ocean, the United States was relieved, but they never intended to hang themselves on a tree. When the armistice negotiations were in progress, they secretly ordered the Roosevelt Department, who was beaten out of Mexico, to reorganize and prepare to invade Panama and take the stagnant canal into their hands!

Why did the United States suddenly feel so confident?

Li Enfu and others were also confused after the peace talks. Although his concessions were instructed by Young Master Long, in the last few days of the negotiations, Li Enfu keenly felt the other party's slight toughness, as if if he was more aggressive and with some additional conditions, the armistice negotiations would collapse!

The mystery of the matter was finally revealed on August 23. A huge change occurred in Britain. Prince Edward VII and his cabinet deposed Queen Victoria and imprisoned the queen who was over 70 years old.

This incident shocked the whole world!

Let’s not talk about whether Edward VII’s actions were disobedient. Just taking Queen Victoria’s lofty reputation as an example, this palace coup was too risky for Edward VII!

This represents the queen of a glorious era!

However, special events were achieved during the special period, because the Three Emperors Alliance provoked various battles on the European continent, and everyone's attention was focused on this melee that determined the future pattern of Europe, which gave Edward VII a chance!

After successfully imprisoning the Queen, on August 25, Edward VII issued an explanation of the palace coup to the world through a telegram.

The explanation is as follows.

Queen Victoria secretly sponsored the Earl of North Sea, and the Earl of North Sea's company was the biggest logistics sponsor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's war!

In other words, one of the culprits of this war that swept across Europe...is Her Majesty the Queen!

For peace in Europe and peace in the world, Edward VII reached an agreement with German Emperor William II that as long as Queen Victoria abdicated, Germany would withdraw from the Three Emperors Alliance and make a full truce.

Britain changed drastically and revealed its deep dissatisfaction with Long Hao. The United States can naturally benefit. Although the war on the European continent has not yet been completed and Britain cannot withdraw troops to support the United States, as long as it has this attitude, the United States will stand up.

Humph, wait for me to rest and prepare for war and enemy. Earl of Beihai, just wait and see!

Faced with the huge changes in Britain and the sudden rebellion of allies, Joseph I and the Russian Emperor, who were already on the verge of power, seemed a little embarrassed and lost their power. However, because these things were too far away from Long Hao, the chain transmission of the matter had not spread to China, so Long Hao was still smiling at the moment, looking at the envoy of Weng Tonghe in front of him with a smile.

The person who came was Zhang Jian, who had no official position, but he was deeply trusted by Emperor Weng, and it seemed that Liu Kun, the governor of Liangjiang, also valued him quite well and always said good things whenever he met.

Long Hao didn't know whether Zhang Jian's name was widely circulated in the Liangjiang River Basin.

Of course, with the coarseness and fineness of Longhao's historical knowledge, he naturally would not know the "old top scholar" His Excellency, but his initial impression of Zhang Jian was quite good, at least he did not come up with the imperial edict to show off his power.

Instead, after a while of conversation, the two sides became more familiar with each other. Then they slowly took out the roll of yellow cloth.

"Prince, please accept the imperial edict." Zhang Jian said with a flat face, faint but majestic expression.

At this time, there were very few people present. They had just returned from drinking from Yuejiang Tower in Nanjing. The small-scale and the small-scale officials retreated tactfully. Only Liu Kunyi and his confidants were left in the hall. Of course, these confidants outside were all famous third-rank or above officials, who controlled the power of life and death in Jiangsu, Jiangxi and Anhui provinces.

Zhang Jian's slightly hoarse voice and bright imperial edict made everyone sober halfway. Liu Kun and the others rolled off the chair and knelt down with a thud.

Long Hao watched coldly, witnessed the embarrassment, and sighed: I don’t know if I don’t go back to China. Although the Qing Dynasty has taken counter-attacks, the national base for more than 300 years is still there. After brainwashing and locking the country, the imperial power is still extremely powerful!

This task of subverting the Qing Dynasty is definitely a long way to go. It is impossible to use external forces to give the motherland a ruthless move!

"Receive the order, then do I have to kneel down?"

Long Haoan sat like a mountain, looking at the shaking white braids on the ground, and asked calmly.

"this……"

Zhang Jian didn't expect Long Hao to have this attitude. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Prince, you are the king of the emperor's title, with a respectable status. But when facing the imperial edict, this etiquette is... unsave, right?"

"Hey, I kneel down and kneel down and kneel down and kneel down and kneel down. I respect you emperor. But this kneeling ceremony is not the case. He only gave me a roll of yellow cloth. Even if he came here in person today, I would not kneel down."

“Bold!”

"presumptuous!"

"Get it down!"

Several officials kneeling on the ground probably had their courage because of alcohol. They immediately turned around and scolded him, their eyes were full of anger and their noses were smelly.

However, Liu Kunyi lowered his head and glanced at Long Hao who was calm and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, you are so ruthless that you will kill the nine clans!"

Zhang Jian didn't expect this would be the case. He looked ugly and had a cerebral paralysis. Suddenly, a word that even he felt was out of standard came out.

"Hahaha, kill my nine clans? May I ask, is it your emperor's intention or Lord Zhang's intention?"

Long Hao seemed to smile, as if he saw through Zhang Jian's harsh and cowardly thoughts: "If you have something to say, I'll leave if you don't say anything! Hey, I was quite happy in the first half of the wine, but at the end, it was too boring and disappointing!"

"Prince, please stay!"

When Zhang Jian saw Long Hao making a move and was about to leave, he quickly shouted, his neck was so anxious that he turned red.

You know, he took out the secret decree of Guangxu from the capital, but it took a lot of effort. This yellow cloth carries too much effort from the emperor and his mentor. Thinking of his mentor's three remarks before leaving, it can be said that this matter... it is only allowed to succeed but not fail!

If Long Hao was angry because of a question of whether to kneel or not, Zhang Jian would not be able to bear the responsibility even if he had eight heads!

Zhang Jian regretted and blamed himself: I should have thought of it long ago that seeing his short head and not wearing a long robe and jacket, I should know his attitude towards me in the Qing Dynasty. Isn’t it boring to speak like this? Damn it, damn it!

"Don't call me prince. I am the lord of a country now. Lord Zhang, don't you remember?"

Long Hao stood firm and looked back and smiled. His smile was full of arrogance and jokes.

After this assertion, whether Zhang Jian or Liu Kunyi and Liangjiang officials had met Long Hao again.

Yes, this is not an overseas boy who came back to seek his roots and worship his ancestors and seeks his status as a prince, but a "foreigner" wearing a yellow-skinned man's skin!

Master Foreigner. Since 1840, he has left a definition of being unattainable and unoffensive in the Qing Dynasty.

No matter if you are a first-class official, you are powerful all over the world, but when you meet a foreigner who is leaning on a civilized stick and singing a bird, your back will also bend a few times.

When the mentality of the people in the hall adjusted, the subsequent conversation became very harmonious.

Here. Let's excerpt a paragraph.

"Dear Your Majesty, my emperor, let me say hello to you on his behalf!"

"No need to say hello. I know that your emperor is in a difficult situation. Haha, it was originally a sky, but there were dark clouds on his head that thought he was a higher level of sky. Can the mood of this sky be happy?"

Long Hao leaned on the chair. He stood with Xiyu and Xiao Ke on his left and right hands, serving carefully.

When we were drinking and talking, we were still in a stage where there was no sensitive topic. The two women were waiting outside the door. Now we were going to discuss the secrets. Liu Kunyi sent his subordinates away, but Long Hao called them in instead. One was to show their closeness and alienation with the two women, and the other was to knock on the two officials in front of us (one of them was not yet): What you think is not worth mentioning in my opinion. My title of Iron Hat King was forced by you, but I have never admitted that you should talk about anything, in front of my maid, you can speak out!
To be continued...
