New Ming Empire mixed in America

After Li Mingqi was surrounded by many royal guards and sat on the dragon throne, the negotiations began.

But there was an episode in the middle, that is, the historians walked into the negotiation table with cameras.

And taking advantage of the fact that the camera was lighter than today's cameras, it directly occupied the positions of reporters representing major newspapers in California.

This episode almost triggered a large-scale conflict.

Of course, this 'almost' was achieved only after four or five soldiers of the Ninth Infantry Regiment were blown up by grenades from the Imperial Guards.

The result is that now all the vantage points in the field are occupied by historians, while reporters in California can only stay in the corner.

"I think what you are doing now is to provoke the entire United States. If you still insist on occupying San Francisco, then we will formally declare war on the Qing Dynasty in the Far East through Congress!"

The representative from California is full of momentum. Although the soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment suffered a slight 'setback' just now, behind him stands a powerful country that just punched and kicked Mexico!

When he finished speaking, he found that the diplomat opposite him with his arms hanging didn't even look at him, which made him insulted.

"Your Excellency, diplomat, if this is your attitude, we will definitely declare war on the Qing Dynasty in the Far East through Congress!"

"Think about your neighboring country. That country called Japan has just been opened by us with cannons!" (1853, Japan's Black Ship Incident)

After Cui Jianguo translated and recited what the California representative said, he looked at the California representative with a strange look.

Before he could stand up and want to provoke the other party to declare war on the Qing Dynasty on the spot, he heard his long live master speak:

"The part where the war was declared against the Qing Dynasty was cut out separately and kept for later use."

After giving instructions to the historian, Li Mingqi waved to Sun Laifu again.

When Sun Laifu, who was watching the camera next to Cui Jianguo, saw it, he quickly bowed and asked, "What are your orders from the Lord Long Live?"

Li Mingqi saw Sun Laifu's serious look, then looked at the historian's camera, put on a majestic look and said:

"Go, raise the flag of our New Ming Empire! These white barbarians in the province confuse us with those soft-footed shrimps of the Puppet Qing Dynasty!"

After Sun Laifu received the order, he went down to prepare. Cui Jianguo also heard what Li Mingqi said, so he sat back down again.

When the representative from California across the street saw Cui Jianguo's appearance, he thought he was frightened. He sat back on his chair triumphantly and started joking with his companions next to him.

"You see, these Eastern people are like this. The Japanese country was also very tough at the time, but now they are not just being obedient children? Haha..."

They started talking and laughing, but little Joseph, who was sitting in the chair in the back row, didn't have any smile on his face.

Because in the conflict just now, the new small bombs used by the National Defense Force made him feel that the winning rate of his 9th Infantry Regiment against the Easterners dropped from 37 to 19.

That 10% would have to be God suddenly appearing and dropping meteorites to kill all those Orientals, but this is simply impossible.

So he has no hope at all for this negotiation.

Now he just wants to maintain the status quo. The land outside the city will be given to the Easterners. I have a big land in San Francisco...

Ahem, San Francisco is actually pretty good if it's smaller, at least it can save a lot of taxpayers' money.

Just when these people were waiting impatiently, there was a burst of happy footsteps outside the square.

Everyone looked up and saw a group of neatly dressed soldiers coming out of the street occupied by the Easterners, with a carriage following behind the soldiers.

After the soldiers unloaded the splicable flagpoles from the carriage, the California representatives finally knew what they were doing?

"The people from Oumaiga, aren't they from the Qing Dynasty?"

Yes, when the soldiers of the National Defense Force raised the Sanchen Flag of the Xinming Empire, they finally realized where they had made a mistake.

They always thought that the other party was from the Qing Dynasty and could use the Qing Dynasty to threaten the other party.

But after seeing the Sanchen Banner, these people realized that what Dongfang Li said some time ago that he was the emperor was true!

It’s all to blame when those businessmen came back and said they were talking about the ‘Oriental Emperor Li’ in Los Angeles. If they were talking about the Oriental Emperor in Los Angeles, he couldn’t make such a fool of himself.

At this time, Li Mingqi stood up and walked to the negotiating table in a few steps.

After seeing this scene, the California representatives also sat upright and waited for Li Mingqi to speak.

But because the historians couldn't find the perfect angle, they had to start recording next to the California representative's table.

Then the California delegates saw that the young man who claimed to be the Emperor of the East... actually ignored them and started speaking to the unoccupied place on their left.

And there was only one audience there - the Oriental man carrying the strange machine!

"Now, as the emperor of the Xin Ming Empire, I would like to formally inform you of something. The Puppet Qing Dynasty in the Far East cannot represent any Chinese people. Therefore, I, the Xin Ming Empire, will not recognize any treaty signed between any country and the Puppet Qing Dynasty!"

"Now please bring that flying national flag of yours. That is the flag of the sun, moon, stars and three stars! Now it represents China!"

"Okay, focus on the national flag and shoot for five seconds, then zoom in for a close-up! Remember to cut this sentence out."

After finishing speaking, Li Mingqi sat back on the throne again. He didn't care whether the other party could understand Chinese.

Who stipulates that the Xinming Empire must bring a translator with them during negotiations?

Even if they don’t understand, they still have to find a way to understand!

After Li Mingqi finished his show, Cui Jianguo began to say to the representatives from California:

"Now, on behalf of the Xinming Empire, I will formally launch friendly negotiations between the two countries with you. These are our conditions. You can take a look at them and remember to sign after reading them."

After saying that, someone handed over a printed agreement, which was very considerate and was available in both Chinese and English.

The representative from California, who was still a little confused up to now, was shocked when he read the first article.

"Half of the tariff will be handed over to you? This is impossible!"

Then comes the second article, which is equally explosive: "The port area is cooperating with you in defense? You are dreaming!"

Article 3: "Cede all 60 kilometers of land within the coast of the west coast? Don't even think about it!"

Although they don’t know how far sixty kilometers is, there is no need to talk about ceding land, and they have no such right!

Every inch of land in California was watered with the blood of Mexicans. How could it be ceded to the Orientals?

Finally they came to the conclusion that these Orientals had no intention of talking at all!

"You are provoking a war! Just wait, the tens of thousands of Army troops in California will let you know what stupidity is!"

After shredding the agreement, the California delegates left angrily. But after walking a few steps, they realized that this was downtown San Francisco, and those Easterners should be leaving.

So they stopped, and the leading representative shouted at Li Mingqi: "Get out of San Francisco, you are not welcome here, and wait for the anger from the entire California!"

After hearing this, Li Mingqi frowned.

These white barbarians are really rude. They were not so arrogant when they were negotiating with Dai Ying.

So Li Mingqi stood up in a hurry...and then, surrounded by the imperial guards and the imperial ministers, retreated towards the streets controlled by the National Defense Forces.

Just kidding, our ancestors once said that a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone a place that is about to become a battlefield?
