Ito Bowen first denounced Daqing’s shelling in the East Capital, crying, and wanted to win sympathy.

"I deeply regret what happened this time. The attack on your capital is inevitable. I don't believe that the two sides will give up the attack on the capital of the enemy country! And when attacking military targets, who can guarantee a second Targets ten kilometers away. Casualties are inevitable."

"Mr. Ito, you have to figure it out. As long as Neon does not accept the conditions we have put forward, all the attacks will continue. This is a war, not a play."

Li Hongzhang directly interrupted Ito Hirobumi, no longer willing to listen to his pretense.

Ito Hirobumi and Matsukata looked gloomy when they heard Li Hongzhang's words.

For them, now that they have the emperor's order.

And the domestic situation is unable to allow them to continue, so it is their demand to use all the favorable factors to lower the requirements of the Qing Dynasty.

The domestic dead are already dead, they will feel uncomfortable, but they will never lose their minds because of the death of civilians.

This has become a bargaining chip for them to blackmail and win Western sympathy.

And Li Hongzhang also knew this directly and threatened, so that they had no chance to continue.

"Okay! I hope this will be our last negotiation. We have already made major domestic concessions,"

"I hope you can show your sincerity. If the peace talks are not successful this time, I really can only hold all the jade pieces."

Hirobumi Ito put aside other thoughts and returned to the topic.

"Ito-kun, in terms of attitude, we have always been very sincere. If your country is committed to pursuing peace and not developing military affairs, you will definitely be able to meet the conditions we put forward."

"If you are threatening us, I am afraid you will be disappointed! Don't be afraid to tell you that our army has just regained Pyongyang and annihilated more than 10,000 people in your army!"

"At the same time, in view of the increasing advantages of the empire in land and sea, we will add a clause that requires you to cede Tsushima Island."

Li Hongzhang's indifferent island is now in his hands, and he doesn't need to pay attention to Ito's attitude.

"What? The conditions you put forward are already very harsh, and now you want us to cede Tsushima Island to you?"

Hirobumi Ito's face turned dark, and the previous conditions changed again. The geographical location of Tsushima Island is very important, on the side of Tsushima Strait near the neon.Once taken away, he will become a nail firmly in front of neon's eyes.

Although even if the southern kingdom is annexed, Tsushima Island will be far away from their support, if the devils have the strategic initiative, it is entirely possible to take this place before the Qing Dynasty can react.But with such a nail in it, Neon will be very uncomfortable if Daqing takes the initiative in strategy.

Li Hongzhang said lightly.

"Okay! Lord Li! You won, we agreed to this one, and the original first, second and fifth we all agree in principle."

"But we can't agree to Article 3 and Article 4, and we need to negotiate again!"

Hirobumi Ito looked stiff, thought for a while and finally said.

He can already imagine what kind of treatment he will face when he returns to his country, ceding the territory, all this is almost unforgivable in the eyes of the neon people who desperately desire territory.

But as the war continues, Neon will become weaker and weaker, and the opponent's conditions will become higher and higher.

"Tell me your thoughts!"

Li Hongzhang was silent for a while before speaking.

The other party admits the aggressive behavior, is willing to apologize and promises not to take the initiative to attack, this is a matter of face, and can be ignored.There are four main terms left. The other party agreed to return Ryukyu and ceded Tsushima Island to these two terms. It is not impossible to negotiate.

"In terms of compensation, we can only accept 60 million taels of silver and pay it off in ten years. 200 million taels is too much and will make our people unhappy."

Ito Bowen also directly doubled their previous 30 million taels.

For example, today the trader is willing to bear 30 million taels, and the resources plundered from the sticks can also be worth several million taels. If it is 60 million taels of silver, they will be able to pay it off soon.

"The amount of fifty million taels, plus interest, is already Neon's fiscal revenue for one and a half years."

"Even the Italians in Europe have a year's fiscal revenue lower than this. I think it should be enough to pay for your country's war costs, and there is excess."

At this time, Ogner was also speaking. After all, the less Neon paid, the more weapons they could buy from Gran, and the smaller their strength enhancement.

"Sixty thousand taels of silver is absolutely impossible. You have to know that a soldier's pension when we walked around requires two hundred taels of silver. This is still the minimum standard. Dingyuan 5 ships are also seriously injured and must be replaced."

"The new artillery shells that Guangguang kills cost three hundred taels each. What's more, Neihongzi has been plundering our country since he understood it, and recently it has plundered Nanguo and Yingzhou, gaining more than 50 million taels. silver."

Li Hongzhang remained unmoved.

Sixty million taels of silver seemed to be a lot, but it was impossible for Wang Guangxu's expectation to be achieved with only half a year's financial income, so he said this half-truth.

At this time, the Minister of Geely Ogner breathed a sigh of relief, because he heard that a shell cost three hundred taels of silver. Although he did not believe it, he also thought that Li Hongzhang did not tell a big lie. It should be not far away. The industrial base is weak and the cost is normal.

In fact, even the shells of the Qing Dynasty were not that expensive.The industrial development of China does not pay attention to the foundation at all, and only pays attention to heavy industry as seen by cause and effect. If it pays attention to the development of heavy industry, then it will not pay attention to the environment and the construction of light industry. As the future generations, Wang Guangxu deeply understands this. a little...
