Qin Zheng said: "This reporter's speech seems to reverse the cause and effect, we have been trying to safeguard China's interests, and now it is the Qing government that betrays China's interests, but this reporter thinks that we are doing something wrong, we should persuade the Qing government to change its decision, it seems that we should be responsible for the Qing government's traitorous behavior." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 But I would like to say that the decision-makers of the Qing government are not children, they are adults with considerable political experience, and they should be held accountable for their own actions. ”

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, the reporters whispered again, because Qin Zheng's words had become more and more harsh, and even said such terms as "the decision-maker of the Qing government", which almost made the name of the Empress Dowager Cixi. However, most reporters still agree with Qin Zheng's statement, after all, during this time in Shanghai, the traversers have been preaching that what they are doing is to safeguard China's interests, and now this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and this Qing court's behavior is indeed a big disappointment to the vast majority of people, under such favorable conditions, it is really unreasonable to agree to such harsh conditions from various countries. It's just that most people just dare to be angry but don't dare to speak, and Qin Zheng's angry rebuke of the Qing court is indeed what many people have in their hearts. Therefore, after Qin Zheng finished speaking, there were also reporters at the end of the voice, some people said that Qin Zheng said it well, and some people accused the Qing court of doing something wrong this time.

However, there are also some defenders of tradition among the reporters, who are naturally quite dissatisfied with Qin Zheng's speech, and the reporter who asked Qin Zheng a question just now immediately said: "The Qin political commissar's words are wrong, since ancient times, there are only ministers who are not, and there is no monarch who is not. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, other reporters couldn't help it, and said privately: "It's funny, overseas Chinese are not subordinates of the Qing Dynasty, why can't they say that the imperial court is not." ”

"Yes, I heard that overseas Chinese are implementing a republican system, there is no monarch, and the virtuous are on the throne, so why don't they say that the monarch is lost, so they don't want to do this?"

Sure enough, Qin Zheng said: "First of all, we are not under the policy of the Qing government, so we are not the servants of the Qing government, we have no direct subordinate relationship with the Qing government, and our actions are not under the leadership of the Qing government. Of course, I say this not to mean that we deny the rule of the Qing government, but this country is not the private property of the decision-makers of the Qing government, let alone the family affairs of the Qing government, and China belongs to all Chinese and all the Chinese sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, so no one, including the decision-makers of the Qing government, is qualified to buy national interests. The ancients once said, the world, the world of the world, not the world of one person and one surname, the virtuous live in it, and the virtuous lose it, so please tell me, a court that does not hesitate to buy national interests, can it be regarded as virtuous?"

This time, after Qin Zheng finished speaking, the audience was silent, because Qin Zheng's words were too amazing, heavier than all the words he said before, almost denying the legitimate rule of the Qing court, and the reason was high-sounding, including the reporter who asked Qin Zheng a question, and he could not say that the imperial court that bought the interests of the country could be regarded as virtuous.

However, after Qin Zheng finished answering this time, the number of reporters who asked for questions was greatly reduced, because they were afraid that Qin Zheng would say something out of the ordinary again, and maybe next time he would name the emperor and the queen mother. The traverser is not afraid of the Qing court, but it does not mean that the reporter is not afraid, the words that Qin Zheng said, not to mention in the Kangqian period, even in the Daoguang and Xianfeng eras, are enough to be betrayed and executed, and the nine clans will be punished. If you ask Qin Zheng another question, you may be implicated.

And the people who demanded the improvement were all reporters of foreign newspapers, and of course they did not care about what the Qing court thought, but were quite interested in Qin Zheng's answer. The more you dare to speak, the more intense you speak, the more newsworthy it is, just as a dog bites a man is not news, a man bites a dog is news, which is no different from the old time and space in this era.

Immediately, a foreign reporter asked: "Political Commissar Qin, what I want to ask is, if you decide to withdraw from this negotiation, will the Qing government continue to negotiate with other countries and finally sign a treaty, and how will you deal with this situation?" ”

Qin Zheng said: "Whether the negotiations continue or not, this is not something we can decide, so if the Qing government and other countries continue to negotiate, we will not stop it, but we will not recognize any result of the negotiations, and any treaty signed will not be binding on us, and we will use all actions that we think are correct." ”

Immediately, another reporter said: "Political Commissar Qin, this time your behavior is obviously contrary to the decision of the Qing government, and just now you also admitted that you are not a subordinate of the Qing government, if the Qing government decides not to contain you, but to expel you, how will you respond, whether to respect the decision of the Qing government, leave Chinese mainland, or insist on staying and not leaving, or even use force to confront the Qing government." ”

After this question was asked, it immediately caused a burst of discussion, because this question not only had a certain sense of provocation, but was also very difficult to answer, no matter whether Qin Zheng answered to stay or leave, it was not appropriate. Therefore, everyone wanted to hear how Qin Zheng would reply, and of course, some people were worried about whether Qin Zheng would carry out another fierce verbal attack on the Qing court this time.

Qin Zheng said: "We can't predict what kind of decisions the Qing government will make, and we can't stop it, but since we returned to China, all actions have been taken to protect the interests of China, and we have successively recovered the Tianjin Concession, Weihaiwei Concession, which were forcibly leased by various countries from the Qing government. The Qingdao concession and the recovery of sovereignty have effectively safeguarded China's sovereign interests, and in this Shanghai negotiation, we have also tried our best to fight for China's interests in the negotiations, so we have a clear conscience in everything we do, and no matter what happens in the future, we will never regret what we have done. ”

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, after a long time, everyone did not come back to their senses, is this considered the end of the answer? But he did not say that he stayed or left, so what did this answer mean? Of course, many people were relieved, and in any case, this time the overseas Chinese did not attack the Qing court again.

In fact, the answer is cloudy and foggy, making people feel unclear, this is in the old time and space, China's press spokesman's specialty, this is the so-called diplomatic black language, everything encounters sharp questions that are difficult to answer, China's press spokesman will use this trick, easy to resolve the difficult answer. However, behind the answer covered by the clouds, there is actually a lot of information hidden, but only people who have a considerable study and understanding of Chinese culture and language can distinguish the hidden meanings behind these words.

Although Qin Zheng is not a news spokesman, he has also learned four or five points, such as in the paragraph Qin Zheng answered, the first force is to count the combat exploits of the traverser, in fact, it is to send a threat to the Qing court, we can beat foreigners, and naturally we can also beat the Qing court, and point out Tianjin, Weihai, The island is all foreign concessions, and it is to tell the Qing court that the land you lost has been taken back by us, and you want to drive us away, but you don't even have a door, and in the end, you say that you don't regret what you have done, it is very clear, and you want to force us to leave the land of China, don't think about it. Although the foreigners in the re-entry may not understand these diplomatic nonsense, Qin Zheng believes that the Empress Dowager Cixi and Li Hongzhang must understand it, otherwise they would never be able to get to where they are today.

After answering a few more questions, Qin Zheng announced the end of the press conference, and most of the reporters left with mixed feelings, although the press conference overseas Chinese also broke a lot of information, but unfortunately it was too fierce, and the reporters didn't know if they could use it, only foreign reporters were happy, and now there was big news.

After the press conference ended, Qin Zheng immediately ordered all the personnel to pack up their things and immediately move out of the Licha Hotel to the Shanghai office that the traverser had just purchased. At the same time, I also found Smith, the manager of the Licha Hotel, to check out.

In fact, there are no substantive procedures, because the cost of accommodation and catering in the Licha Hotel is paid by the consulates of various countries, and there is no need for the traveler to pay for it, but the traveler withdraws from the negotiations, and he can no longer live in the Licha Hotel for free, and the traveler has also bought a property in Shanghai to do errands, so he naturally leaves immediately, so the check-out procedure is just a formality, even if the traveler leaves without a sound, it doesn't matter. Of course, the traveler will not do this, and always have to say hello to the hotel.

However, Manager Smith did not want the traveler to leave, firstly, there were consulates of various countries to pay for their accommodation and food, and secondly, the traveler had caused several sensations in Shanghai, just in the Licha Hotel held banquets, press conferences There were several times, so it also brought the reputation of the Licha Hotel, which is simply a free advertisement, and it can be said that the Licha Hotel has made a lot of money by receiving the travelers.

Smith is a businessman, he doesn't care about the outcome of the Shanghai negotiations, since the traveler can bring benefits to himself by living in the hotel, then he hopes that the traveler can stay in the Licha Hotel for a few more days, so when he saw that the traveler was going to check out and leave, he said that he wanted the traveler to stay in the Licha Hotel, and said that the traveler's accommodation fees could be waived.

Of course, Qin Zheng declined Manager Smith's kindness, and at the same time took out 200 taels of silver as a tip for the hotel staff, and then led everyone to leave the Licha Hotel.
