The negotiations were held in a quiet room in Jing'an Temple, and the monks in the temple had already avoided them, guarded by 20 British soldiers with guns and live ammunition.

The four negotiators from various countries and the Qing court took their seats at a specially made triangular negotiating table, and the other eight negotiating assistants were all sitting behind them. The area of ​​the quiet room was not large, only about 40 square meters, and 3 or 40 people were squeezed into the middle of the night, and it immediately seemed a little crowded.

The first thing to conduct was to exchange each other's negotiation terms to let each other understand the conditions proposed by the other party so that the next formal negotiations were made. The countries approved two negotiation terms, one for the time traveler and the other for the Qing court, and both were in Chinese and English. The time traveler only prepared one negotiation terms, of course for each country, because at least in the famous discussion, the time traveler and the Qing court were on the same side, so there was no need to give one for the Qing court. Only the Qing court did not even prepare a negotiation clause.

Li Hongzhang is a wise man and knows that although it is a tripartite talk in the famous discussion, in fact, time travelers and countries are the dominant parties in this negotiation. The Qing court is just here to match and can only act according to the expressions of others. Therefore, it is useless to propose any negotiation conditions, so it is better not to mention any terms. Wait for both of you to discuss.

Qin Zheng and Li Hongzhang took the folders handed over by various countries. At the same time, Qin Zheng also handed the folders of his negotiation terms to various countries. The terms prepared by the time traveler were also double copies of Chinese and English. Qin Zheng opened the Chinese version of the document, while Li Sanjie looked at the English version of the document, while others watched by the two of them. In fact, these people have a solid foundation in English, and there is basically no problem in reading and writing. Therefore, for them, there is no difference between reading and reading Chinese and English.

In the Qing Dynasty, Li Jingfang was a proficient in English, so he was usually the translator of Li Hongzhang. Although there were eight countries in each country, all consuls could understand English. In terms of Chinese, only Japanese consuls, Joe Oda, was more proficient in others. The others were basically half-hearted, but there were also special translators.

For a moment, the room was silent, and everyone was watching the negotiation terms proposed by the other party seriously.

There are six negotiation clauses issued by countries for time travelers, namely:

1. Overseas Chinese return the Tianjin Concession to various countries and compensate the losses to the concessions of various countries, totaling 2.40,000 taels of silver;

2. Overseas Chinese return the Weihaiwei Concession to the UK and compensate the UK for the loss of the concession, with a total of 10,000 taels of silver;

3. Overseas Chinese returned the Qingdao Concession to Germany and compensated Germany for the losses of the Concession, with a total of 1.60,000 taels of silver;

4. The various laws, regulations, systems and various administrative agencies established by overseas Chinese during the occupation of the concession were abolished, and all the systems and administrative agencies of the past concession were restored. Overseas Chinese seized the industries of various countries and returned all assets to various countries;

5. All soldiers and personnel from various countries captured by overseas Chinese in the previous war were released unconditionally, and the ships and weapons of various countries captured were returned to various countries.

6. Overseas Chinese will compensate each country for the losses in the war, totaling 30,000 taels of silver. Total compensation from the previous three articles, a total of 80,000 taels of silver will be compensated to each country;

After Qin Zheng and four other negotiators watched the negotiation clauses proposed by the countries to the time traveler, they handed them over to the negotiation assistants to watch, and then talked to each other about the negotiation clauses proposed by the countries.

Although there are techniques of asking for a lot of asking prices and paying money on the spot in negotiations, they will generally be within a relatively reasonable range, or they will deliberately raise the asking price in one or two of the terms, while the other terms are relatively reasonable and reliable. However, none of the negotiation terms proposed by various countries are reasonable and none of them are reliable. It can be said that time travelers cannot even agree to one, which makes people have to wonder whether countries plan to negotiate with time travelers sincerely.

Of course, I am still looking at the negotiation terms now, and it is not time to speak, so Qin Zheng and others didn't say anything, just discussed in a low voice how to deal with it when waiting for a while.

After a while, the Qing court also read the negotiation clauses proposed by various countries to the Qing court, so the two sides exchanged views the negotiation clauses proposed by various countries to the other party. Because this is a tripartite meeting, it is completely reasonable to exchange and watch each other. After a while, the Qing court will also watch the negotiation clauses proposed by time travelers to various countries.

The negotiation clauses proposed by various countries to the Qing court were:

1. The death of the German ambassador to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty needed to send envoys to Germany and erect a monument at the place where he was killed;

2. The murder of the Secretary of the Japanese Embassy in the Qing Dynasty was caused by the incident. The Qing Dynasty needed to send envoys to Japan to apologize;

3. The Qing Dynasty compensated various countries for war losses, totaling 300 million taels of silver;

4. The Qing Dynasty should define the special boundaries of embassies of various countries as special places for embassies, and be managed by the embassy and send troops to garrison. Chinese people are not allowed to live in the special boundaries of embassy.

5. The Qing Dynasty should demolish the Dagu Fort and the various forts that hinder the capital from the sea;

6. The Chinese state should allow the various countries to organize the group and jointly decide several troops to garrison to ensure that there is no separation between the capital and the sea.

7. The Qing Dynasty should select the corresponding eight regions in the country and hand over to each country as new leased land;

8. The Qing Dynasty should always ban the Boxer Rebellion and hostile acts against various countries, arrest the members of the Boxer Rebellion, and ensure that all kinds of xenophobic behaviors will not be carried out in the future;

After reading the terms issued by various countries to the Qing court, Qin Zheng's face couldn't help but sink. Compared with the [Xin Chou Treaty] in the old time and space, this clause not only required the Qing court to compensate for less silver, only 300 million taels, while the [Xin Chou Treaty] demanded compensation of 430 million taels, and there was no need to punish those who advocated going to war with various countries. There was even more, because the [Xin Chou Treaty] had not yet made any demands on China's territory, and this clause clearly stipulated that eight new concessions should be opened.

Qin Zheng certainly understood that the countries did not mention punishing those who advocated going to war with the Qing government, not because of the tolerance of the countries, but had an exchange with the Qing government, that is, the Qing government accepted the conditions proposed by the countries, and the countries did not hold the Qing government accountable for the personnel who went to war. Therefore, it can also be said that this negotiation clause is more harsh than the [Xin Chou Treaty], and the infringement of China's sovereignty is one step further than in the old time and space. Whether it is the voice of the self-esteem or the national thought of time travelers, it is absolutely not allowed to become a real treaty according to this negotiation clause.

At this time, Li Hongzhang and others had also read the negotiation clauses issued by the countries to the time travelers, and were looking through the negotiation clauses issued by the time travelers to the countries. Therefore, the time travelers and both sides were waiting patiently, but the personnel from both sides were discussing and discussing in a low voice.

After about ten minutes, Li Hongzhang and others also read the negotiation terms issued by the time traveler to various countries and returned the document to each country. At this time, Qin Zheng said: "Everyone has read the negotiation terms proposed by the other party. If all of them are finished, we will enter the next agenda and start the trial to formally negotiate the negotiation terms."

However, when Qin Zheng spoke, he did not hand over the negotiation clauses and documents issued by various countries to the Qing court, and the various countries and the Qing court did not care. He thought that the time travelers had forgotten the negligence, but they all replied that Qin Zheng could enter the next agenda.

At this time, Huo Bilan said: "Does Political Commissar Qin have any opinions on the negotiation clauses we have proposed?"

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Yes."

Huo Bilan said: "So does Political Commissar Qin agree to discuss the negotiation clauses we proposed first?"

Qin Zheng said: "Yes."

Huo Bilan was stunned for a moment and was also happy, because during negotiations, discussing the proposal proposed by the party first will usually be more beneficial to which party. Generally, both sides will take turns to discuss their respective plans. Qin Zheng did not make such a request and agreed to discuss the negotiation terms of each country first, which surprised Huo Bilan a little, but was still very happy. This was beneficial to the party after all, and other negotiators from various countries also showed joy. Some people even believed that time travelers must lack negotiation experience, so they made such mistakes.

At this time, Huo Bilan said: "Okay, then let's start with the first one."

Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "Don't start with the first article, I can reply to you immediately." As he said, Qin Zheng threw two negotiation terms documents listed by various countries to the time travelers and the purgatory to the negotiating tables of various countries, and said in a deep voice: "We do not agree with the content of these two negotiation terms, so neither of these two negotiation terms can be discussed any more."

Qin Zheng's actions shocked all countries, Li Hongzhang and others. Because Li Hongzhang participated in various negotiations dozens of times, he had never seen such an act. Only the time traveler remained silent, obviously he had known that Qin Zheng would have such an action long ago.

At this time, Huo Bilan did not recover from the shock and subconsciously asked: "Political Commissar Qin, what do you mean?"

Qin Zheng said: "Didn't you hear what I said clearly? Then I will say it again. We do not agree with the content of these two negotiation terms, so we will not discuss these two negotiation terms again. Do you understand?"

Huo Bilan came back to his senses and immediately discussed a few words with other negotiators, threw the negotiation terms and documents of the time traveler, and said: "We also do not agree with the negotiation terms you have listed, and refuse to discuss the negotiation terms you have listed."

Li Hongzhang looked left and right, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He hasn't started talking yet? Both sides have broken down?

Qin Zheng remained calm and said: "Since both of us refuse to discuss the other party's negotiation terms, then I can't understand that this negotiation has broken down."

Huo Bilan was not only stunned for a moment, but didn't know what Qin Zheng meant, but at this time, he must not admit defeat and said, "If you think this negotiation has broken down, then it's better to break down."
