    "Of course, I think the price paid by the Qing State will definitely satisfy Western Sichuan. However, after the peace talks, we hope that China can maintain peace so as not to affect the interests of our countries. Of course, for you, Western Sichuan and the Qing State,  It's also beneficial!" Organa was very satisfied with Wang Yuze's reaction.  Before he even started to press, Wang Yuze had already compromised.  This made him feel a little complacent. It seemed that the influence of the British Empire was indeed unrivaled in the world.

    After that, the ministers from various countries chatted with Wang Yuze for almost an hour before leaving.  However, during this period they had been showing off their strength, seeming to want to intimidate Wang Yuze and make the future heir of western Sichuan fear the great powers.  Of course, the German Minister Marcos remained silent.  This time, for the benefit of Germany, he undoubtedly betrayed Western Sichuan.  However, there is no way, this world is like this, interests come first!

    During this process, Wang Yuze has been listening to the conversations of these ministers. On the surface, he is smiling and agreeing with them from time to time.  But deep down, the anger in his heart had already been ignited.  His hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles were a little white from the excessive exertion.

    It was with great difficulty that we sent these envoys away.  Back in the military tent, Wang Yuze's face suddenly darkened.

    "Hmph! Those who are not of my race must have different hearts! These foreign devils really don't have any good things. Just wait and see, after twenty years, it's time for you to pay the price!" Wang Yuze said bitterly.  During this period, Wang Wei has been following Wang Yuze.  He understood Wang Yuze's current mood very well. The behavior of the ministers from the five countries today was completely threatening!  Not to mention Wang Yuze, even he was very angry.  If he wasn't afraid of the serious consequences, he might have already taken out his pistol and killed all these envoys.  Of course, if he really does that, western Sichuan will definitely face siege from the great powers.

    "Young Marshal, do we really want to have a truce with the Manchus? What a great opportunity? We are only one step away from overthrowing the Manchus!" Wang Wei asked with great regret.

    "There is no way around it. Our strength is not strong enough. In addition, it will take time to digest the newly occupied territory. However, it won't be long before we can overthrow the Qing Dynasty. I promise, this day will definitely not be too long."  For a long time!" Wang Yuze said.

    Wang Wei nodded, he was very convinced of Wang Yuze now.  Ever since Wang Yuze was assassinated, he seemed to have become a completely different person, showing outstanding talent.  This kind of change is what Wang Wei hopes to see very much.  Western Sichuan truly has a future.

    "Order the troops to strengthen vigilance. Although we have promised not to attack the capital, if the Qing army takes the initiative to provoke, there is no need to be afraid. Give me a double counterattack!" Wang Yuze ordered.  If the Qing army provokes a war again, then the great powers will have nothing to say!  However, the possibility of this is very small.  Manchu was already frightened early in the morning, so how could he still have the courage to provoke the Western Sichuan Army?

    "Yes, Marshal!" Wang Wei immediately passed on the order.

    At the same time, Wang Xiao also met with the consuls of the five countries stationed in Chengdu during the inspection tour of the embassy in Chengdu.  There is no doubt that they will also urge an armistice between Western Sichuan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty today.

    Under the pressure of the five countries, Wang Xiao agreed to the request for an armistice.  All units of the Western Sichuan Army were ordered to stay in place, stop attacking, and wait for the next order.  At the same time, a mission was sent to the capital to prepare for final negotiations with the Manchus.  Of course, in this war, Western Sichuan is the winner. The main purpose of the mission is to ensure the interests of Western Sichuan and ensure that Western Sichuan can obtain more benefits in this war.

    The mission in western Sichuan is headed by Liang Xingrong, the master of the attendant's office, and Song Zhengping, the deputy director of the attendant's office, is the deputy leader. Together with other personnel, there are hundreds of people in total.  Wang Yuze, who stayed in the capital, will also participate in this negotiation, which can be regarded as accumulating more surprises.

    Starting from July 12, the war between the Western Sichuan Army and the Manchu Qing Dynasty officially stopped.  The ceasefire at this time made the generals at all levels of the Western Sichuan Army very dissatisfied.  Although since the war began, Western Sichuan has expanded its territory greatly.  However, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Western Sichuan can gain a larger territory and even completely overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  However, the Western Sichuan Army has always been highly disciplined. After the General Staff Headquarters issued an order, all units obeyed the order despite dissatisfaction.  However, from the moment of the armistice, letters of invitation from various units requesting to continue fighting flew to the staff headquarters like snowflakes, leaving Jiang Xingguo who was left behind in a panic.

    At the same time, Xi'an's defenders also left the city.  They probably felt that there was no hope of continuing to defend. Instead of staying in Xi'an and being eaten by the Western Sichuan Army, they might as well take the opportunity to return to the Manchu-controlled area.  In this regard, the Western Sichuan Army did not stop it. Anyway, tens of thousands of remaining soldiers were defeated.??, it will not pose any threat to western Sichuan.  After the Qing army left, the Western Sichuan Army immediately entered Xi'an and took over the ancient capital.

    After the Western Sichuan Army stopped attacking the capital, the Qing army defending the city also began to clear the blocked city gates.  However, in order to prevent the Western Sichuan Army from attacking the city, they blocked it very tightly, and the cleanup work took three days to complete.  Slowly, the capital returned to normal.  However, the station of the Western Sichuan Army outside the city has always been a restricted area, and neither the Qing army nor ordinary people dared approach it.

    On August 6, after rushing all the way, the Western Sichuan delegation finally arrived in the capital.  However, they did not accept the Manchus' kindness and stay in the post house. Instead, they lived directly in the military camp of the Western Sichuan Army.  The location of the negotiations was also changed to outside Guang'an Gate at the strong request of the Western Sichuan Army.

    "Uncle Liang, Uncle Song, welcome to the capital!" In the military camp of the Western Sichuan Army, Wang Yuze personally greeted Liang Xingrong, Song Zhengping, and the members of the mission.

    "The young marshal is serious. After this year of experience, the young marshal really seems to be a completely different person!" Liang Xingrong looked at Wang Yuze kindly.  As the director of the Attendant's Office in Western Sichuan, he knows very well what Wang Yuze was like before.  But this year, after Wang Yuze joined the army, he was greatly shocked.

    "The military is really a place to train people!" Wang Yuze could only blame this aspect for the change.

    "Oh, is this really the case? Then I have to let my boy join the army and give it a try!" Song Zhengping also said.  Although, they all thought that Wang Yuze was not capable of inheriting Western Sichuan.  But now, Wang Yuze's performance has completely conquered them.  Even if something happens to Wang Xiao, the development of western Sichuan will obviously not be affected in any way.

    "That's a good relationship! Everyone, we have prepared lunch. After everyone has eaten, go back and rest! Don't worry about the negotiations!" Wang Yuze greeted enthusiastically.

    After lunch, Liang Xingrong and Song Zhengping came to Wang Yuze's military tent.

    "Two uncles, do you have anything to say to me when you come here this time?" Wang Yuze asked.  It had been more than a year since he had seen Wang Xiao and his wives, which made him miss him very much.

    "The commander-in-chief is very satisfied with your performance. If it weren't for your surprise attack on the capital this time, I'm afraid the war would not have ended so quickly! In addition, the commander-in-chief is also very satisfied with the price you asked the Manchus for. However, in the end, we  How much you can get depends on the negotiation!" Liang Xingrong said.

    "The foreigners will not allow us to overly weaken the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In terms of territory, it is estimated that we can only keep the few provinces we occupied. But we can work more on compensation and strive to get more compensation!" Wang Yuze said  .  From the day he met with ministers from several countries, Wang Yuze had already guessed their intentions.

    "However, when we came here, the commander-in-chief said that he asked us to occupy Guangxi as much as possible. The commander-in-chief has secretly ordered a number of warships from Germany and is expected to return to China the year after next. By then we must have  The port and supporting facilities will do!" Song Zhengping also said.

    "Father has ordered warships from Germany? Are we ready to develop a navy?" Wang Yuze was very surprised. This was the first time he heard the news.

    "Yes, the commander-in-chief has ordered two 'Brandenburg-class' battleships, as well as four cruisers and ten destroyers. When the navy is formed, we will have a navy that is not inferior to the Manchus!"  Song Zhengping was somewhat excited in his words.  He had studied abroad, so he naturally knew the necessity of a powerful navy.

    "Well! If it looks like this, then we must take Guangxi!" Wang Yuze said.  The navy is not as good as the army. It can be sent to the battlefield after a few months of training. The navy only needs to undergo accumulated training over a long period of time.  The British navy is the best in the world. Isn¡¯t that just after hundreds of years of accumulation?  Although the navy in western Sichuan has just started, it lags far behind the great powers.  But now the Navy is also in a period of great change. If we seize the opportunity, Western Sichuan may not have no chance to catch up.

    ¡°However, it may not be that easy to capture Guangxi.  The French will definitely do everything possible to obstruct it.  Guangdong and Guangxi are France's sphere of influence, and they are close to Indochina. The French will definitely not allow Western Sichuan to occupy Guangxi.  Whether we can win Guangxi depends on the outcome of the negotiations.

    The next morning, the armistice negotiations between Western Sichuan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were officially held. The location of the negotiations was just outside Guang'an Gate.  The Western Sichuan Army specially took the time to build a pavilion.  Although the pavilion is not big, it can seat ten or twenty people.  Whether it is the negotiators from Western Sichuan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the ministers from the five countries who came to watch this negotiation, they can all sit down.
