Chapter 822 The Chinese Give Too Much

Gao Huan ordered and the officials of Ganguo immediately began to take action.

Xia Wanchun and others quickly sent a message to Huguang, then announced sanctions against the Netherlands, and were preparing to secretly summon British and Portuguese businessmen.

Gao Huan discussed with Zheng Sen, and after the specific details of the expedition to Luzon were asked Zheng Sen to prepare in advance.

The division and disintegration of the four countries is just a strategy and cannot truly deter the enemy.

In Gao Huan's view, only by expeditioning to Luzon and pulling out the Spanish strongholds in the Far East can we shock the Western countries and let them know that China has the ability to strike from a long-range manner. Only then will they be afraid, give up the fantasy of coercing China by force, and honestly engage in maritime trade.

These Western barbarians traveled thousands of miles around Africa's Cape of Good Hope, and were driven by interests and bought Chinese goods and made huge profits.

Therefore, as long as Gao Huan shows strength, they will change their attitude after they understand that they cannot coerce by force, and take the initiative to come to the door, begging China to open up and allow them to do business.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless if they came from thousands of miles away.

The British sent a mission to the Qing Dynasty to send gifts to Qianlong, hoping to do business.

In order to facilitate communication, Gao Huan allowed Western countries to set up offices in Shanghai for communication.

At this time, outside the county town of Shanghai, within the area designated by the Ganguo, several Westerners were drinking in the Dutch office.

"This time we join forces with the four countries and report to the country, I believe they will feel great pressure." The Dutch envoy picked up the wine glass and drank the wine.

The British made the case: "I hope! I hope the Chinese emperor can make the right decision so that we can quickly resume trade. After all, ships are moored and there are losses every day!"

"Your Excellency! What's there to worry about?" The Dutch envoy took a sip of red wine and smiled: "We will ask the Chinese to compensate us for our losses!"

Several people couldn't help but smile, but at this moment, He Bin hurried in and said in panic: "Your Excellency, something is wrong. We were sanctioned by the Han Chao. The store was sealed by the army. Han Chao wanted to drive us out of the country."

The Dutch envoy was stunned when he heard this, with a shocked look on his face, "The Chinese do not take the warnings of the four countries seriously."

The British and Portuguese were also shocked. Both of them showed panic on their faces. They quickly put down their wine glasses and returned to their respective offices to check whether they were also sanctioned.

At this time, as soon as the two of them came out, a brigade of Guoanshi came over, surrounded the Dutch office, and issued an order to expel the Dutch envoy.

Although Gan Chao is now fighting with the Netherlands, the two countries are not killed when they are in war. Gao Huan did not order the arrest of the Dutch envoys, but just drove them out of the country and brought Gan Chao's attitude back.

Gao Huan will send ambassadors to Europe in the future, and now he must set rules.

The British and Portuguese envoys, shortly after they came out, saw the Dutch ambassador being invited out of the office and headed to the dock under the surveillance of the soldiers of the Kanguo country.

This made the British and Portuguese lingering fear. When they returned to their respective offices, they quickly asked, and were relieved to learn that China only sanctions the Netherlands.

At this time, the two countries also knew that this was a warning from the Chinese emperor. The Dutch had just proposed that the four countries counter China and put forward diplomatic notes, and they were directly sanctioned by the Chinese emperor, allowing them to know the Chinese emperor's tough attitude.

Now to achieve the goal of making China surrender, we can only form a joint fleet and force China to admit defeat with force, but the British and the Portuguese were shaken.

Just when the envoys of the two countries were frightened, officials from the Lifanyuan went to the offices of the two countries and asked the envoys of the two countries to go to the palace for inquiries.

At this time, in the palace, British messenger Smith and Portuguese messenger Kobede sat in the flower hall and were hung for an hour.

"Portuguese messenger, the chief summoned!" an official called in.

The two envoys looked at each other, and the Portuguese quickly stood up and went out with the officials, leaving only the British envoys to continue working.

At this time, the Portuguese messenger Kobede was taken into a study room, and there was no one inside. The guard gave him a glass of water and went out.

At this time, the British envoy was sitting on the other side for a long time. A sound of footsteps came from outside, and a guard shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor is here!"

The soldiers in the hall immediately straightened their backs and remained motionless. The British envoy Smith also stood up quickly and saw a heroic man in a dragon robe walking in.

"British envoy to China Smith, have met His Majesty the Emperor!" Smith quickly saluted.

Gao Huan was not Qianlong, etiquette was a manifestation of strength. Britain was thousands of miles away, and Gan Chao could not do anything about Britain at all. There was no need to care whether the envoys were kneeling at this time were not expensive. Let’s discuss this issue when Gan Chao landed in the UK.

At this time, Gao Huan sat down on the throne, looked at the British with a sharp look, and saw that he could speak Chinese, he said directly: "What conditions do the Dutch give you?"

Smith was slightly stunned, and naturally did not dare to say in front of the Chinese emperor that Britain wanted to ced an island in China to serve as a stronghold for trade with China, and also asked China to open its market to the UK.

"Dear Emperor, our Majesty, we are just worried that the conflict between China and the Netherlands and Spain will affect the trade between China and the United Kingdom, and hope to be able to trade freely." Smith felt the strong aura of the Chinese emperor and felt huge pressure in his heart.

Gao Huan sneered, "It doesn't matter if you don't say it. Now listen to me! The big cadre will sanction Spain and the Netherlands to punish them for massacre their people and occupying Chinese vassal territories, and will terminate their trade with them. If Britain withdraws from the Four-Nation Alliance, then the trade share of the Netherlands and Spain in China will belong to Britain and Portugal. If Britain does not withdraw from the Four-Nation Alliance, then I will sanction Britain, ban the trade between the Big Cadre and the Chinese vassal territories, and let the Portuguese take over the share of your three countries."

When Smith heard Gao Huan's words, he was shocked and immediately realized that this was an opportunity for Britain.

It turned out that in trade with China, Britain ranked last among the four countries. Now that the conditions of the Chinese emperor were agreed to the conditions, Britain could share China's trade share with Portugal, and Britain would make a huge profit.

Smith obviously couldn't refuse so much when the Chinese gave it.

"Dear Emperor! In fact, our UK is fighting with the Netherlands. We are deceived by the Dutch this time. Britain will fight firmly on His Majesty's side and become your most loyal partner." Smith bent down excitedly to salute.

Gao Huan stood up and said in a deep voice: "I hope you can make the right decision. You should notify you who can make decisions in East Asia to come to Shanghai to sign a trade treaty!"

After Gao Huan said that, he stood up and left. Smith kept bowing. When Gao Huan left the hall, he immediately jumped up excitedly, "I'm sorry! The Chinese have given too much, so Britain can only betray the Netherlands!"
