Republic of China: Our great warlord has many children and many blessings

As a diplomat, Zhu Erdian had never received such ridicule.

In the past, as a representative of the British Empire, he was the center of attention wherever he went.

However, at this time and that time, Zhu Erdian did not dare to put on airs.

This Shen Hao is not the kind of weak president, but has a very domineering personality.

You can see it from your past behavior. If you start fighting at the first sight of disagreement, you still have no temper.

The most important thing for politicians is to assess the situation. Zhu Erdian smiled slightly and saluted again:"Dear President, please allow me to apologize to you. I hope to get your understanding.

This time I am sincerely seeking peace talks with you.

Prime Minister David Lloyd George, let me say hello to you on his behalf."

With such a low attitude, Shen Hao really couldn't say anything.

So he said:"Say hello to your Prime Minister for me when you get back."

Zhu Erdian nodded and said:"Your country suddenly launched an attack on Myanmar and Yunnan without any notice, which is somewhat contrary to international law.

Moreover, Myanmar is part of our British India. A large number of Indian immigrants have also poured into the territory."

Shen Hao did not speak. Zhao Gang on the side said lightly:"I'm afraid your country was still alive a few decades ago.

Burma and Yunnan have been our vassal states since ancient times and have been attacking our country.

You guys Britain was annexed by Burma and Yunnan after three wars, which caused immeasurable harm to the people of Burma and

Yunnan. Thinking about the Opium War and the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, did Britain ever say hello to our country?"

Zhu Erdian could not refute these words. After all, it was a mistake.

But Zhu Erdian changed the subject and said:"This territory has not been certain since ancient times.

Just like your land in the Qing Dynasty, millions of pieces of land are still in Tsarist Russia.

At the time of the Sino-Russian Aihun Treaty》、《Sino-Russian Capital Treaty》、《"Sino-Russian Treaty on the Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary", from 1858 to 1864, in just 723 years, Tsarist Russia took away 144 square kilometers of the Qing Dynasty's land without using any troops and relying solely on threats.

Mr. President, after hearing this news, can other European and American countries not go crazy?

That’s why eight countries came to Beijing.

Besides, it was you people who lined the streets to welcome us, and gave us ladders, guides, and food.

Of course, we also paid enough.

It is enough to show that your Qing Dynasty is unpopular."

Shen Hao was unhappy to hear these murderous words.

But he could not refute it and could not blame the people.

Moreover, Zhu Erdian said this because he wanted to divert the conflict and sow discord between Shen Hao and Tsarist Russia. So

, Shen Hao asked:"Don't worry, no matter who it is, what you owe will be paid back."

Zhu Erdian felt happy in his heart. The best way to divert the conflict is to poke your heart.

To bring out the hatred between Tsarist Russia and Then let’s see how dare you take action against India.

Immediately, Zhu Erdian said the purpose of this trip

"President Shen, our British Empire has no intention of enmity with your country. As long as you release our prisoners in Xiangjiang and Burma and Yunnan, we express our willingness to withdraw from Burma and Yunnan and give up the peaceful way of Burma and Yunnan to your country.

But your country must re-sign a bilateral friendship and non-aggression agreement with us, the United Kingdom.

Not only our territory, but also our ships should be protected."

Hearing this, everyone felt happy. In this way, a lot of losses would be reduced.

Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Hao. This kind of thing must be done. Shen Hao made a decision.

Shen Hao said:"This can't be done."

Hearing this, Zhu Erdian's face froze and he said doubtfully:"Does the president insist on fighting us to the end? This will not be of much benefit to your country."

Shen Hao said:"Siam and Cambodia are our vassal states, and they have signed a contract. Isn't it right for us to send troops?

If you want to sign a contract, you will have to give us (Thailand) Siam and Cambodia."

Zhu Erdian felt relieved, as long as he attacked India.

Cambodia is not the British sphere of influence.

Moreover, Britain does not have many interests in Siam, but Dispensable.

The competition between the British and French powers protected Thailand. Thailand is a strategic buffer zone between Britain and France. Therefore, it has not been colonized.

Thailand is located in India and Myanmar in the west of the country, which have long fallen into the hands of British colonists. And established a colonial empire belonging to the United Kingdom.

On the other side of Thailand are countries such as Vietnam and Laos. The colonizers of these countries are France.

Neither Britain nor France wanted the other party to have more colonies than itself, so Thailand dealt with the two. The two parties skillfully and reasonably protected their national sovereignty.

Zhu Erdian smiled and said:"Cambodia belongs to France. We in the UK do not mind whether President Shen fights or not."

Thailand doesn't matter either.

The agreement we signed is from India. Both of us are not allowed to cross the border in any way."

Shen Hao said:"Yes, but as a victorious country, we still want some war compensation. As for the amount, it is up to you."

Zhu Erdian's mother approved, Ni Ma, why do you need war compensation?

Doesn’t this mean that the Republic of China defeated the Eagle Kingdom?

If this money is lost, it will have a very bad impact on the Eagle Kingdom.

I can lose the war, but I can’t say I was defeated.

Zhu Erdian said:"This Of course not. We have already made huge concessions and given up on Burma and Yunnan.

The benefits brought to your country are not just a little war compensation.

We came with great sincerity and have been making concessions, but your country has not shown the proper attitude.

If we really go to war, even if your country can win Burma and Yunnan, it will suffer a lot.

Besides, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops in India, and we can quickly organize millions of Indian troops.

Although we in the UK do not want to go to war with your country in Asia, there is a saying in your country that a rabbit will bite when it is anxious."

Shen Hao said:"Then there is no need to talk. We will see you on the battlefield and see you off."

Zhu Erdian was stunned, but he did not expect Shen Hao Hao was so stubborn.

He hurriedly explained:"Of course, this is not non-negotiable.

Negotiations cannot be settled in one go."

Shen Hao said expressionlessly:"In that case, then go back and discuss it with your cabinet first, and I will give you one day.

One day later, the battle between Burma and Yunnan will be divided."

After saying that, Shen Hao stood up and left, not caring about Zhu Erdian's mentality.

Of course, Shen Hao didn't want to fight, but negotiating meant making a lion open his mouth.

Take advantage of the British guy's free time. , you must take as much as you can.

There is no loyalty between countries, all are based on interests.

If you are weak, I will bully you.

After Shen Hao left, Zhu Erdian also went back and hurriedly conveyed Shen Hao’s meaning to the cabinet. (See For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The cabinet learned that Shen Hao still wanted compensation, and was furious.

But there was nothing they could do to Shen Hao.

He couldn't get out of it at all, and after final discussion, they could only choose to compromise.

Secondly The next day, the second round of negotiations started.

This time there was not much entanglement, and the two sides exchanged words.

After some negotiations, the British unconditionally gave up all interests in Burma and Yunnan, and compensated for all war losses, a total of 10 million taels of silver.

Of course, the British announced that the money was used to redeem prisoners.

Of course, the money was not free. Britain and the Republic of China signed a treaty of mutual non-aggression.

The treaty stipulated that the Republic of China was not allowed to use force against India, and the Republic of China was not allowed to use force against India. We can't cause trouble in India.

This is mainly because we are afraid that Shen Hao will start an uprising in India.

Therefore, the UK can only spend money to settle the situation.

Now, the UK is having a hard time fighting on the European battlefield.

We don't want the Indian people to learn because of Shen Hao. Resistance led to a fire in his own backyard.

The importance of India to Britain is self-evident. Once Shen Hao causes trouble, a massive grassroots revolution will soon form.

Because once the grassroots revolution succeeds, all British interests in India will be Will be in trouble[]

The inside story of the negotiations between the two sides was also published in the National Daily, and the whole country rejoiced.

At the same time, Hubert Lance, the governor of Burma and Yunnan, was relieved when he learned about the peace talks.

He was not prepared to sacrifice.

So, he happily handed over his rights in Burma and Yunnan.

On February 20, 1917, witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people from both sides, Britain surrendered all its weapons and the flag was lowered.

Replaced with the national flag of the Republic of China.

Sun Liren was a little helpless. He originally wanted to prove the strength of the eight military regions by winning Burma and Yunnan, but he didn't expect that the other party actually surrendered.

Moreover, Sun Liren also received the news that Shen Hao fully accepted Burma and Yunnan.

The next step is Thailand and Cambodia.

Because there is no plunder by Western powers and the government is unified, taxes from various places are also turned over.

The development of transportation also brought dividends to the fiscal revenue growth of the Republic of China government.

With the gradual improvement of transportation facilities such as railways and waterways, commodity circulation has become more convenient and trade activities have become more active.

This not only promotes economic development, but also brings more tax revenue.

Maritime trade is also extremely developed, and the economy of coastal areas has completely gained new vitality.

The continuous improvement of transportation promotes economic development.

In just a few months, the tax revenue exceeded the total tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty in eight years, reaching a terrifying 1.2 billion taels of silver.

This made the Chief Financial Officer Minglou very excited.

On the other hand, Shen Hao is very calm. Compared with the tens of trillions of tax revenue in later generations, this is just drizzle.

As his finances became richer, Shen Hao began to take action on education and population.

As the decrees were issued one after another, the whole country was filled with joy.

A plan was formulated to reduce the illiteracy rate from 95% to 68,435% within five years. This goal can be said to be very difficult.

All children of school age must receive nine years of compulsory education.

Every township must have one middle school and one primary school.

At the same time, the three-year technical secondary school model has been launched. Junior high school students can apply for primary school teachers after attending technical secondary school for three years. and various support for university construction.

It is planned to build thirty first-class universities.

Allow private capital to build universities.

The education sector in particular was deeply moved.

They can clearly feel that these reforms are good for them.

In particular, the establishment of this technical secondary school has been praised by many people.

He admired Shen Hao endlessly.

The literacy rate in the late Qing Dynasty was only 3-4%, which means the illiteracy rate was 96%-97%. Therefore, the emergence of technical secondary schools can train teachers in large numbers and popularize culture more quickly.

In the past, bicycles were only owned by rich children.

Now in Guangdong, there are countless bicycles and more and more cars.

There is another policy that makes people across the country excited.

Encourage childbirth. In rural areas, each additional child will be rewarded with five acres of land.

Regardless of gender, as long as they can go to school at the age of 8, their families will be allocated five acres of land.

This news undoubtedly sent the whole country into a frenzy.

The happiest people are the farmers. This country has a deep love for the land.

Although citizens do not reward land, they do have other rewardsIncentives, tax-free issuance of vouchers, etc.

Not only that, the national examination in 1917 started again on March 15th.

This makes many college students excited.

It's their chance to change their destiny.

With the issuance of each policy, the whole country is like a new year.

Vigorous vitality broke out in all walks of life.

Moreover, through policies, many people see business opportunities.

That's the child.

Once the policy is implemented smoothly, the population will grow explosively.

The potential is huge.

In the President's Office, Shen Hao looked at Chen Yulou and asked with confusion:"You finally took a vacation. Why did you come to the capital instead of going to your Mount Changsheng?"

Chen Yulou chuckled and said:"It's not that you have something to do with the President. Are you?"

Shen Hao said:"Say"

"Do you still remember Partridge Whistle and his junior sister Hua Ling?".
