Early the next morning, all three parties still arrived at Jing'an Temple on time, and a new round of negotiations began. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After chattering with each other, the personnel of the three parties sat in their respective positions in the negotiation room, and Huo Bilan was full of energy, and spoke first: "Everyone, I believe that after a day of summary and discussion, I think you should have some new adjustments and proposals, and they will still help us in this negotiation, I don't know which side is willing to talk about its new propositions first, if not, then we will continue to discuss the process at the end of the last time." ”

At this time, Li Hongzhang said: "Let's talk about it first this time, we do have some new resolutions in this negotiation. ”

Huo Bilan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course you can, we welcome the Qing government's opinions." He turned to Qin Zheng and said, "Political Commissar Qin, what is your opinion?" ”

Qin Zheng saw Huo Bilan's expression, he looked a little complacent, and it was estimated that he also knew that the Qing court had decided to accept the negotiation terms proposed by various countries in its entirety, so he seemed full of confidence and victory. Just said lightly: "We have no opinion." ”

Huo Bilan's face showed a knowing smile, and he said to Li Hongzhang again: "Li Zhongtang, please speak." ”

Li Hongzhang nodded and said: "Yesterday we received a telegram from the imperial court, and the imperial court agreed to accept the negotiation clauses proposed by various countries, so if we discuss the treaty clauses related to our Dachun today, we can discuss the details of each clause on the basis of the negotiation clauses proposed by various countries." ”

In fact, after Li Hongzhang went to the Licha Hotel yesterday to tell Qin Zheng about the resolution of the Chunting Court, he immediately went to visit Huo Bilan again and told Huo Bilan of the resolution of the Chunting, so that Li Hongzhang not only shirked his responsibility cleanly, but also did not offend both sides.

After knowing the news, Huo Bilan was naturally overjoyed, because the goal he had worked so hard to pursue was finally achieved, so that his political future could be bright again, so after sending Li Hongzhang away, Huo Bilan did not wait for the renegotiation to begin, he first sent electricity to the country and reported the good news to the country, mainly because Huo Bilan was worried that the country had already made a decision to deal with himself, and it would be troublesome.

Later, Huo Bilan hurriedly summoned the consuls of various countries and communicated the news to them. When the consuls of various countries learned of this, they were also very happy, after all, they could still obtain a large amount of compensation and a new concession in such an unfavorable situation, which was a great achievement in the country, and it would also be of great benefit to the political future of the consuls in the future. Quite a few consuls' eyes on Huo Bilan are also very different from those of the previous days, and sure enough, Huo Bilan really did it. This also made Huo Bilan very proud, how about it, it's not wrong to listen to yourself.

The matter of the Qing court was settled, and all that remained was to negotiate with the overseas Chinese, so after the discussion of the consuls, they thought that now that the Qing court had yielded, and the countries had also obtained a lot of benefits from the Qing court, there was no need to entangle with the overseas Chinese anymore.

In the joyful mood of the consuls, only the German consul Ke Pena has the bottom of his heart, and overseas Chinese are not so easy to fool, so the variables in this are still very big, don't be happy too early.

After Li Hongzhang finished speaking, Huo Bilan was very satisfied, turned to the side of the traverser, and said in the attitude of a victor: "Political Commissar Qin, do you have any other opinions?" In fact, this question was purely courteous, because in Huo Bilan's view, even the Qing court concerned agreed, so what reason did the overseas Chinese have to oppose it?

Nazhi Qin Zheng said: "We oppose the decision of the Chunguo government. ”

Huo Bilan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, so he subconsciously asked, "What?"

Qin Zheng said: "We oppose the decision made by the Chunguo government, and we also refuse to discuss the details related to the treaty of the Qing court on the basis of your negotiation terms. ”

At this time, Huo Bilan understood it, and he couldn't help but panic a little in his heart, because the development of things did not follow the script he envisioned, according to Huo Bilan's assumption, as long as the Qing court agreed to his own conditions, then overseas Chinese could only accept it, but why didn't this group of people follow the rules, so they were also a little angry and said: "This is a decision made by the Qing government, you have no right to oppose it, if you still insist on opposing it, then we will negotiate with the Qing government separately and sign a separate treaty." ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, then I officially announce that from now on, we will withdraw from this negotiation." You and the Qing government can negotiate separately and sign a separate treaty. But we will not recognize any agreement that has been negotiated, any treaty that has been signed, it is not binding on us, and we will not abide by it. ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Zheng stood up from his seat and said, "Everyone, we are leaving." And the others also got up one after another and left the negotiation room with Qin Zheng.

At this time, although Huo Bilan was a little dazed, he was not too nervous, thinking that overseas Chinese were playing the trick of coercing him by quitting, so he hurriedly glanced at Li Hongzhang and asked him to come forward to retain overseas Chinese. But this time Li Hongzhang did not act, but smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly.

Huo Bilan was stunned for a while, and then understood that it was impossible for Li Hongzhang to come forward to retain overseas Chinese this time, because the overseas Chinese opposed the decision of the Qing court, and if Li Hongzhang retained overseas Chinese, it would mean that Li Hongzhang gave up the decision of the Qing court, which was naturally something that Li Hongzhang could not do. At this time, Huo Bilan's mind also became extremely clear, and he immediately understood that if the last time overseas Chinese withdrew, it may be a pretense of posturing, then this time they are playing for real, which means that this Shanghai negotiation has also completely broken down, why don't these damn overseas Chinese come according to the rhythm they imagined every time?

And Huo Bilan immediately thought that the breakdown of the Shanghai negotiations not only means that his rescue plan is completely bankrupt, but also the consequences are more important, because the loss of the ball game is at most to marginalize himself in the political arena, and if the Shanghai negotiations break down, the country will definitely find someone to take responsibility, so I am afraid that he will have to completely withdraw from the political field. Therefore, Huo Bi suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him.

Qin Zheng and the others left the Jing'an Temple, and when they returned to the Licha Hotel, Chen Zhaosheng, who was responsible for collecting the original telegram, had returned, and his task was going very smoothly, of course, the 500 taels of silver played an important role, and a telegraph operator not only gave him the original manuscript of the telegram from the Qing court asking Li Hongzhang to accept the terms of negotiation between various countries, but also gave him more than ten telegrams exchanged between Li Hongzhang and the Qing court during this time.

Although in this era, the telegraph operator's income was good, and the monthly income was generally about 5-10 taels of silver, which was quite considerable, but 500 taels of silver was still a huge amount of money, and in the telegraph operator's opinion, The original manuscripts of these telegrams are just a few pieces of waste paper, which have no value at all, and it is better to exchange them for 500 taels of silver, and when they ask about it, they say that they have lost it, or they can't find it, or they can prevaricate in the past, and it's really not a big deal not to do this telegraph operator, take the 500 taels of silver as the capital to make a small deal, or go back to their hometown to buy dozens of acres of land, whatever.

Although the process of obtaining the original telegram was smooth, it also aroused Qin Zheng's vigilance, and the current Qing court can be said to have rotted to the roots, and only obtained such an important telegram manuscript at a small price of 500 silver, so it is not an accident that the Great Qing Kingdom will be finished. However, the country that the time-traveler wants to take over must not be a corrupt state power like the Qing court.

At present, the crossing group has appointed a lot of locals, of course, in important positions, or mainly traversers, but in the near future, will definitely appoint locals in important positions, and there will be more and more natives appear in important posts, in the traverser can buy the personnel who serve the Chunting; then in the future, the enemies of the traverser can also buy the natives who work for the traverser, so this must also let the traverser take warning from now on, on the one hand, we must strengthen the internal system and supervision and management, on the other hand, we must also strengthen the ideological education of the natives who work for the traverser。

At this time, reporters rushed to the Licha Hotel one after another to attend the press conference. It turned out that the press conference held by the traveler a few days ago aroused great interest among Shanghai residents, so it led to a substantial increase in the sales of newspapers in Shanghai, and the sales of newspapers are closely related to the content of the press conference. In the past few days, many newspapers have hired people to write comments related to the press conference, and some newspapers have published special editions of the content of the press conference.

Now that they have heard that overseas Chinese are going to hold a press conference again, reporters are naturally rushing to see it, although many reporters are wondering, because at this time, shouldn't the overseas Chinese be holding talks with foreigners at Jing'an Temple? How could a press conference be held? However, even if the overseas Chinese have issued a notice, they must rush over to take a look at it, and they must not miss the opportunity of this big news. Moreover, some newspaper officials have already begun to consider how to use this press conference to increase the circulation of these issues of the newspaper by using this press conference.
