"Okay, I can take a trip, but please tell the Prime Minister the strategic intent of this negotiation, you have to draw a way for me......"

Xiao Lotian curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Strategy, what strategy do you want...... I didn't let you negotiate, what I need you to do is to set the record straight, I want you to go to court with them!"

"Why did the dirty water fall on my head? What is the evidence that Ulangori said that it was the Qing Dynasty and the Ryukyus conspired to send troops? I also said that Ulangli stole my carved vermilion lacquer toilet! Why didn't he pay me ......?"

"Hehe, diplomacy is such a thing, it's just who is thick-skinned!"

Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan smiled bitterly, "Prime Minister, it's okay for you to let us have no skin and no face, and I will be a scoundrel, but the Russians' troop increase will not be fake, the actual military pressure is real, and this issue is not something that can be avoided at the negotiation table......"

Xiao Letian nodded, "I don't have the luxury of expecting the negotiating table to solve all the problems, but there is no problem in getting through this winter safely...... Do you know how much will change this winter?"

"First of all, the telegraph network between Europe and Asia is about to be completely connected, and the transmission of information between Asia and Europe will be shortened to three days, which is an efficiency that we did not dare to imagine in the past, that is, we will only be engaged in a global diplomatic war at that time, a change that the Russians are obviously not aware of......"

"When the transmission of information cannot reach the global interconnection, European world domination will inevitably rely on the plenipotentiaries of governors and envoys, such as the first two Opium Wars, do you think that the final treaties were agreed to by the British and French governments?"

"Joke, it was all discussed by the envoys of the expeditionary force, they were given carte blanche before they left the country, and their signatures could represent the country......"

"Ulangori still thinks that he is the first ambassador of East Asia? He thinks that he can now handle all foreign affairs in the Far East independently...... Next year, I'll let him know what it means to vomit blood!"

"The situation is urgent, but it is definitely not as serious as you think, now that the Russian Far East has been completely frozen, the Central Asian army will definitely not be drawn until the beginning of spring, and it will be at least next summer when the Central Asian cavalry regiments come to the Far East......"

"Now the only army at Moscow's disposal is to send a fleet from the Baltic Sea to support Vladivostok. Let's not forget that the Suez Canal has not yet been opened, and they have to travel all the way around the Cape of Good Hope......"

"With Russia's naval strength, it is impossible to send too many soldiers, I estimate that about ten battleships have three or five thousand soldiers, and the time on the road will also take four or five months, which is not much earlier than the cavalry regiments in Central Asia......"

Xiao Letian patted Xiao Hexin's shoulder with a wicked smile, "What you have to do is to provoke Ulan Geli and make the Russians lose their minds, the more troops they deploy, the worse the final outcome will be......!"

Xiao Letian's subordinates all know that as long as the prime minister shows this kind of bad smile, then there must be a big event to happen, and if it is not for the yin damage in his heart, he will definitely not show such a smile.

Seeing that the prime minister was such a hooligan, Xiao He believed that they were finally relieved, and the two explained the details again, and then turned around and left to make preparations before leaving.

Xiao Hexin had just walked out of the door, when suddenly Xiao Lotian shouted, "Wait a minute, I'm going to go north by boat with you, but I'm changing boats in Kagoshima and going north to Fuso...... Recently, the humidity has been too much, it seems to be a bit rheumatism, I have to go to Japan to soak in the hot springs, you can negotiate with Fuso in advance......"

Looking at the strange eyes of the two, Xiao Letian scratched his head, "Don't look at me like this, you don't have to keep it secret when you go to Fusang this time, just let the people of Sijiu City know, do you think, if Ulan Geli knows that at this critical juncture, I, Xiao Letian, are still in the mood to play if I ignore him so much, will he be angry?"

Wang Huaiyuan said in his heart that if you want a daughter-in-law, you can say it clearly, and use other people's old hairs as an excuse, the prime minister is really becoming more and more hypocritical, "Yes, prime minister, I'll arrange ......"

Two days later, Xiao Lotian and his entourage set off from Naha Port all the way north to Fuso, and saw off Xiao Hexin with wine in Kagoshima, and the brand-new clipper boat sailed in the direction of the Bohai Sea.

Then Xiao Letian took another battleship all the way along the coast of Fusang to the Kanto region of Japan, the tiger girl in Junfu City has been too serious recently, Xiao Letian is very distressed, he must go to see it in person, otherwise he can't sleep.

When Xiao Hexin came to Beijing, he really found that the atmosphere in Beijing had been grim to the point of one o'clock, and Zhang Jing, who was sent by the former prime minister of Guangqumen, had been waiting for him for three days.

"This is the Prime Minister's plenipotentiary envoy, General Xiao, please hurry up and follow me, let's take a detour to Dongbianmen and enter the city, right?"

"Why? I'm a special envoy of the Prime Minister of the Ryukyus, why do I have to go through the East Gate?" Xiao Hexin said angrily.

The four represents the four palace gates of the Forbidden City, and nine represents the nine gates of the inner city of Beijing, which is the origin of the name of the four nine cities.

But Beijing City is not a square city, he also has a protruding southern city, which was built during the reign of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, so that the entire Beijing City has become a big convex shape.

The Guangqu Gate is located to the east of the South City, and the East Gate is not a formal city gate, but a small city gate with a raised angle between the south city and the east of the inner city.

It can be heard from the name, this is a convenient door, in the Qing Dynasty in addition to the convenience of the people in and out of the most important work is actually to unload grain, outside this gate is the Tonghui River, that is, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal into the end of Beijing, directly through the moat.

The last stop of grain transportation in the south of the Yangtze River is here, because the ship can not go anywhere, there is a market outside the Dongbian Gate called Xishuiguan, and there are special officials here who are responsible for the specific affairs of grain entering the Beijing warehouse.

Now the dignified Ryukyu envoy was actually asked to enter the city through the city gate where the goods were taken, this is simply a great insult! Xiao Hexin glared at Xiao Zhangjing in front of him, and he couldn't hold back his anger and wanted to whip him.

This little Zhang Jing hurriedly rushed up and grabbed the horse's head, "My lord, I am angry, I am angry! It's not that I deliberately embarrassed my lord, but Lao Maozi...... Oh, the Russian minister has already sent someone to guard you here, and as soon as you come, you will attack you, so you should quickly hide and enter the city through the Dongbian Gate!"

"What a big boldness, does this Rakshasa ghost think that this is their home?" Xiao Hexin saw that the people around him were gathering more and more, and he was secretly happy in his heart that this was really sleepy and pillowed, and he was worried that he couldn't find a chance to make trouble, so this Ulan Geli was sent to the door.

When it was too late, a dense sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the Guangqu Gate, and then more than a dozen Rakshasa cavalrymen surrounded a tall Norse-looking man with a beard on his face.

"Where's Xiao Letian? Damn where is Xiao Letian......" The official words without four tones sounded so harsh.
