Dai Qian's Militaristic Country Has Unlimited Financial System

Three days have flown by, and the two armies of Zhifeng have been encircling Longdu for half a month, and Han Xiyuan has ordered Xiongkuohai to prepare the army and strive for a counteroffensive in the shortest possible time.

Secondly, with the cooperation of Di Gaoxun, all the powerful courtiers of the Han Empire have been successfully arrested.

And immediately afterwards, under Han Xiyuan's arrangement, three senior governance talents have been in important positions, and they are gradually taking power into their own hands.

If the officials of the court and the central government were unwilling to submit, they were all imprisoned.

Di Gaoxun, who had been sent to have secret talks with Wu Qingzhi and Zhang Yuting, was now carrying out the plan he had made before, under the protection of the guards sent by Han Xiyuan.

With these guards here, even if Di Gaoxun and the two wanted to have any thoughts, they didn't dare to act rashly.

At this moment, Wu Qingzhi was also negotiating with the envoy of the British Empire, and at this moment, Martin Bell changed his normal state and became humble.

This is also because the British Empire is still actively fighting for Wu Qingzhi, hoping that in the future war, Wu Qingzhi can also stand on their side.

After several negotiations, Wu Qingzhi figured out the current world pattern and why the British Empire supported itself so much to defeat the Anhui warlords.

However, Wu Qingzhi believes that the British Empire should continue to take back the tariff autonomy of the Han Empire, in addition to the indemnities owed by the Han Empire now.

The British Empire was angry because of Wu Qingzhi's behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, so it made a request.

However, Wu Qingzhi's determination to go all the way to the dark made the British Empire have to think twice, and in the end, the British Empire decided to compromise with Wu Qingzhi.

"Your Royal Highness, we in England think that we can accede to your previous request, and we are willing to reach an agreement with you to waive the war reparations and the request for complete exemption from customs duties.

Martin Bell's tone was softened, and he raised his head from time to time to check Wu Qingzhi's expression.

Moreover, England is also ready to play a trick this time, directly turning the indemnity into war reparations, in fact, there are other reparation regulations, and the formulation of tariffs in the Han Empire is also in the hands of other empires.

This is also the main purpose of the commodity sell-off of the major empires.

This is also related to the foreign trade policy adopted by the Han Empire, because the Han Empire has been proud of the world for 300 years, and has carried out two-way trade exchanges on land and sea, which makes the goods of the Han Empire occupy a major position in the world.

This made the English Empire, which had been increasing its productivity after the first industrial revolution, feel jealous and threatened, so it sent troops to the Han Empire.

The expedition lasted for seven years.

At the beginning of the war, even though the naval warships of the English Empire were unusually strong, the cannons were very advanced.

However, this still could not shake the rule of the Han Empire, and even the navy of the Han Empire still had the upper hand in victory with its outnumbered numbers.

However, the vast Han Empire led to civil strife within the empire, natural and man-made disasters, and peasant uprisings.

These things are completely a chain reaction, and they are a powerful medicine that is enough to poison the Han Empire, under the situation of internal and external troubles.

Emperor Jingrong of the Han Empire chose to negotiate peace with the English Empire and negotiate tariffs, so that the goods of the English Empire could enter the market of the Han Empire without tariffs.

If the goods of the Han Empire wanted to enter the territory of the English Empire, they still had to pay fixed tariffs, and under such unequal trade, the Han Empire gradually fell into disadvantage.

At the critical moment of the fifth year of the war, after the English Empire entered the naval battle with the Spanish Empire, it united with the French Empire and other seven countries to jointly declare war on the Han Empire, and the war lasted for another two years.

This war directly shattered the backbone of the Han Empire and returned defeated, and the Han Empire began to open the prelude to the warlord era.

The war also brought humiliating unequal treaties to the Han Empire, as well as heavy reparations.

The cession of land is inevitable.

"We have been paying war reparations for five years, and I think you should return half of them. Moreover, when our Han Empire chooses a side in the future, it will also make some concessions. Secondly, the lease established by your English Empire in our Han Empire, I think it's time to abolish it.

"Wu Qingzhi is still constantly testing the bottom line of the British Empire at this moment, and the Han Empire can compete with the Eight Kingdoms for up to three years when it is weak, and at the beginning of the war, it defeated the warships of the British Empire.

Although the Han Empire experienced another crushing defeat to the Sakura Empire, the fifteen-year-long warlord melee period, the heritage of the Han Empire should not be underestimated.

For example, in terms of population, the Han Empire's previous introduction of cereals, especially sweet potato crops, provided the most basic guarantee for the population expansion of the Han Empire.

Under such a guarantee, the population of the Han Empire directly swelled to 300 million, and the combined population of all countries in the world during this period barely exceeded 2.1 billion.

This also means that the Han Empire alone occupies one-seventh of the country.

Therefore, the Han Empire will also have irreplaceable operations in future wars, which is also the strength that the British Empire strives for.

"Your Royal Highness, what do you mean by this? We have already reached an agreement before, why do you want to go back on your word now? Moreover, we will definitely not agree to your proposal.

Martin Bell was completely enraged this time, and he directly rejected the proposal.

This is also due to the change in the current means of invasion of the English Empire.

Previously, the English Empire spent seven years to capture the defense line of the Han Empire, in exchange for the opening of the Han Empire's market, but the English found that the original commodity selling effect was not achieved at all.

Although the development of the production line has been realized for English goods, the quality is naturally not superior to that of artificial.

Because, the cost of long-distance trade and transportation, even if there is no additional price of tariffs, the goods entering the Han Empire are still very high.

This made the price unacceptable to the people of the Han Empire.

As a result, more people in the Han Empire did not accept high-priced, low-quality goods.

In this way, the war paid a high price, but did not receive the expected return, which naturally made the economists of the British Empire reflect.

After reflection, the British Empire came up with a new set of theories, the main core of which was the export of capital to achieve the purpose of economic invasion.

The main means was to go through the concessions and treaty ports, find Han Chinese as employees in the Han Empire, and then invest in the construction of factories.

It was produced within the territory of the Han Empire, which minimized costs and increased the profitability of goods.

Therefore, the concession is now at the forefront of the economic invasion of the Han Empire, and it must not be abandoned.

Giving up the concession is also equivalent to giving up all the interests in the territory of the Han Empire, which is a reality that the British Empire will never accept.
