Britain and France have finished rectifying North Korea, so naturally they will come to rectify Hashkovich. After thinking about it for five days, Harskovich, who has not received a letter yet, received the news that Chuemon invited him to afternoon tea.

It would be an honor to have afternoon tea with the monarch of the same country in normal times. Many diplomats were expecting such an arrangement, but Harskovic was not happy.

I can't help you!

The correspondence missions have all returned to Edo with the "Hanyang Treaty", and the texts of Britain and France will soon be sent back to London and Paris to be signed and ratified by the monarchs of the two countries. You little Haskovich is still delaying here. What?

The so-called afternoon tea party is probably a Hongmen banquet. But Hashkovic had to go too, and the threat before Chuemon was clearly visible. Given the relationship between Japan and Russia, I am afraid that Chuemon's words were not just simple intimidation.

Today's "going south policy" of Tsarist Russia, its main focus is on Tashkent. In the Far East, because one million square kilometers of land has been cleared all at once, and even a detailed map has not yet been fully surveyed and mapped, it is impossible to eat hundreds of thousands more at a time.

A hero does not suffer immediate losses, and Harskovich can still distinguish the importance of it. He adhered to the foreign policy of his superior Gorchakov to form a good relationship with the European powers and ease the diplomatic situation in Russia, and believed that it was necessary to ease relations with Japan.

Otherwise, he could not have promised to compensate the shogunate for 25,000 pounds, which was unprecedented, and had never seen the Russians lose money. Before release, if you cut his neck and bleed him, he won't lose any money.

Come on, sign it.

In the Hitotsubashi Residence Garden in Edo, Japan, the appendix treaty to the "Hanyang Treaty" was finally signed. The Tokugawa shogunate and Tsarist Russia reached a peace, and the Tsarist Russia publicly apologized to the Tokugawa shogunate for the Tsushima incident and compensated 25,000 pounds.

At the same time, the Russian government of Tsarist Russia needs to commit to no territorial expansion of North Korea and no lease of North Korean land in any way. In short, it cannot be too close to the Japanese mainland in essence. This move actually guaranteed part of Japan's border security, creating a buffer zone between Tsarist Russia and Japan.

Of course, the British were not willing to let Russia occupy North Korea with a population of tens of millions and a place of 3,000 miles away. Even if this place is not a fertile land, it can't be given to Tsarist Russia.

As for general commerce and diplomacy, the Russian side was allowed. But Russia must not conclude any treaty with North Korea without the knowledge of Britain, France and Japan.

The two commercial ports of Toyamapo and Jemulpo acquired by Britain, France and Japan allowed the Russians to enter and leave freely. Russian goods did not have any duty-free rights and had to pay customs duties controlled by the British.

Hashkovic didn't shake his hand when he signed the signature, and said that he would go to Jemulpo, Incheon, to set up a consulate immediately. Anyway, Tsarist Russia will not invade North Korea for the time being. This treaty is signed, and it is a credit for the lack of protection.

After ten or twenty years, the strength of Tsarist Russia in the Far East has strengthened, and it is difficult to say whether this treaty can continue to be maintained at that time. After all, after the Franco-Prussian War in history, Tsarist Russia abolished the Treaty of Versailles with the assistance of the Second German Empire, vigorously developed the Black Sea Fleet, and turned Sevastopol into a fortress.

When Hashkovic left, Pasha Li brought in Maihuatuo. For nothing else, just because Mai Huatuo had just visited Toyamapo, he originally just wanted to see where to enclose a piece of land, to follow the example of the Japanese embassy and establish the British embassy area. But after arriving at Toyamapo, I got very surprising news.

The North Korean peasant army, which had raised troops in Gyeongsang-do and Jeolla-do, had already approached Dongnaefu Castle at this time. The people in the city are fleeing in a panic, and there are also many businessmen who are transferring goods and family members to the small islands along the coast to make sure that they are safe.

Across the sea, the safety factor can always be increased. It's really not good, you can also row directly to Tsushima Island. This was the trade privilege granted to the Rae merchants of Dongnae, who allowed ships to travel between Korea and Japan.

According to Mai Huatuo's understanding, and the description of the Japanese wakan businessman in Dongnae, that is, once the North Korean peasant army broke through the city, it would burn the government office, destroy the bonds, and confiscate the property in the merchant's shop. Grain, cloth, etc., are directly charged to the army, while general property is managed to be sold and used as military expenses.

You are a businessman, and you have to run away.

The two classes of masters in those places, those with tyrannical powers set up villages to protect themselves, and those with poor powers ran to Daocheng or places with barracks. The little thief doesn't have to run, the big thief can't, that's all.

Having said that, Chuemon must have understood. This fellow Ba Xia Li is full of the natural instinct of Dae Ying to stir **** sticks. Because Dae Ying's strength in the Far East is insufficient, Dae Ying has no way to turn the Korean Lee Dynasty into a protectorate for the time being. However, it is still possible to turn Tosanpo or Jemulpo into a country within a country.

It's not that the British look down on the North Korean peasant army, but it's really not an era when you can cut wood into a soldier, rise up, and be able to fight the world. Rifled guns, bronze cannons, and large warships with British troops are still fighting against peasant troops armed with arquebuses, broadswords and spears?

With only a battalion of 500 people, Pasha Li had the confidence to face tens of thousands of peasant troops. It's not how strong the British army is, it's purely because the times have changed, and the weapons of both sides have a generational difference.

Bashari's idea is also very simple. He took some troops under the pretext of defending the British consulate and commercial office in Toyamapo, and actually took over the local affairs. This is called letting nature take its course, but if it is not balanced, it can still get the support of the local gentry and common people. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can greatly reduce the local people's antipathy to the British invasion.

After all, normal property owners are very disgusted and chaotic. How to say that sentence is the most hypocritical peace, and it is also better than the most just war. As soon as the war started, the war ended. If it does not end quickly, it will be a pure disaster for ordinary people.

support!

Chuemon, whether from the heart or from the national interests of the shogunate, supports the British to increase investment in North Korea. The United Kingdom itself is prepared to defend the "independence" of the Li Dynasty with arms, just as it defends the "independence" of the Ryukyu Kingdom. With the British blocking North Korea, Tsarist Russia is basically unlikely to go south, which is a good thing for the shogunate.

I can send a gunboat to follow you to Toyamapo. The reason is very legitimate. There are thousands of Japanese in the Japanese kangaroo in Torae, and the shogun, as the head of Japan, does not protect them.
