Chapter 179: Undefeated Victory (1)

When the peace talks began again, there were many fewer people involved in the peace talks, except for Li Hongzhang and Gui Shun, there were only the ministers of the eight countries, and their domestic translators.

The resumption of peace talks will inevitably be the Waterloo of various countries, this has become a foregone conclusion, turning the peace talks into secret talks, and the ministers of various countries are also trying to save the face of their own countries, and the crisis brought by the plague is far greater than their interests in the Qing Dynasty, as long as they do not admit defeat, even if the Qing Dynasty does not pay compensation, they are willing to end this political farce as soon as possible.

Gui Shun, who really led the peace talks for the first time, was quite domineering, and the first thing he did when he opened his mouth was to expel the negotiators of Tsarist Russia.

"If you want to talk, you can!

But Ben Baylor doesn't like the old Maozi who occupies my land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, if there is an old Maozi present, don't talk about it! ”

In just one sentence, Gui Shun made the ministers of Tsarist Russia change color, and let the ministers of various countries put him and Li Hongzhang in the same position.

The Tsarist Russian envoy was not given a chance to argue, and as soon as the envoys of various countries exchanged ideas, the Tsarist Russian envoy was out.

One sentence swept away the envoy of Tsarist Russia, Gui Shun was full of confidence, and looked at the ministers of other countries with hope, the successor of Li Hongzhang, and began his first peace talks.

"Presumably, the ministers are now more concerned about the matter of epidemic prevention medicinal materials, some things, Ben Baylor wants to say ahead, our traditional Chinese medicine can only prevent and alleviate the plague, but can not treat the plague, already sick, Chinese medicine may have a relieving effect, but there is little hope of cure!

If you are not sick, after taking Chinese medicine. Supplemented by physical epidemic prevention measures such as masks and gloves, there is a considerable chance that you can avoid infection with the plague, which is also not absolute!

Cremation is the key to the prevention and control of the plague, and only in this way can the source of the plague be eliminated. The spread of the plague around the world was something that Ben Baylor did not want to see.

Before the peace talks begin, it is best for the ministers to inform your country that before the arrival of traditional Chinese medicine in Hong Kong, it is still necessary to focus on physical epidemic prevention methods. Traditional Chinese medicine can only play an auxiliary role in epidemic prevention.

Everyone, let's send the report first! ”

After Gui Shun finished speaking, the ministers of various countries frequently nodded yes, as Li Hongzhang's successor. Gui Shun is really talented, and it is also their luck to negotiate with such a Qing minister.

After a few words of compliment, the ministers of various countries were not polite, and left one after another to send a report to the country.

"Lord Belle, that's a good point!"

Gui Shun's words were in a certain way, and Li Hongzhang also did not hesitate to praise the words, we will explain the cause and effect to you. If something goes wrong, that's your own business, and that's what is called being in the middle of a thousand flowers. Not a single leaf sticks to your body!

"Hey! Lord Zhongtang praised it falsely, my second master planned well! ”

Wiping the cold sweat on his head, Gui Shun did not shy away from Li Hongzhang, and directly said who was behind him.

"Alas...... It's a pity! ”

sighed, Li Hongzhang didn't say anything about it, and Gui Shun didn't care about this. He also needs to be familiar with the manuscript in his hand! What to say, Li Dacheng got it for him. Just follow the word.

The ministers of various countries who returned from sending telegrams directly gave up the peace talks. Instead, he talked with Gui Shun about the sale of medicinal materials, and compared with the plague, it is not a heavyweight, and in the context of the plague, it really doesn't matter if the contract is discussed or not.

"Good! Since the ministers have the intention to talk about medicinal materials first, let's talk about it!

If you buy medicines, you must follow the market price of the Daqing Pharmaceutical Market, the dose of one person a day, now equivalent to about three taels of customs silver, that is, ten shillings, and it will only be higher in the future, which is the most effective anti-epidemic medicine.

In addition, there are pills with poor efficacy, this kind of pills are a hundred pills per bottle, the price is a shilling, the plague is a major event in the world, we are not good to stand idly by, other Ben Baylor can not do, to ensure the stability of the price of medicinal materials, Ben Baylor can still do it, whether it is now or in the future, as long as you buy medicine for the country, according to the price that Ben Baylor just said, no one can increase the price.

If you want to buy the formula, you need to spend another sum of silver, and the price of the prescription is not expensive, only 100,000 gold pounds!

Crude herbs, shipping is not convenient, in order to help the friends of the epidemic prevention, Ben Baylor has put a lot of effort, these medicines are extracted medicine essence, extremely convenient to transport.

There is another sentence that Ben Baylor wants to say in the front, the prescription belongs to the Chinese medicine in China, and if anyone in any country applies for a patent with the Chinese medicine prescription without the consent of our country and monopolizes the interests therein, then our cooperation will be canceled, and it will be canceled forever, and Chinese medicine will not have any cooperation with such a country and such a person.

Traditional Chinese medicine is not only for the people of the Qing Dynasty, but also for the people of the world, and Chinese medicine can only work for the benefit of the people, and cannot become a tool for some people to make profits! ”

Gui Shun, who opened his mouth wide, listed the trading conditions, and did not forget the matter of patents, this is Li Dacheng wants to give countries a preventive shot, after this time countries around the world will inevitably attach importance to traditional Chinese medicine, research traditional Chinese medicine, but traditional Chinese medicine is Chinese, and the patent methods used by foreign devils must be prevented in advance.

"Your Highness Baylor, we can all agree to your requests, we can respect the patent rights of traditional Chinese medicine, and we also support His Royal Highness's opinions on patents, which can be improved through international regulations."

A dose of Chinese medicine costs more than three taels of silver and ten shillings, which is an unbearable weight in the eyes of the people of the Qing Dynasty, but in the eyes of ministers of various countries, ten shillings is not very much, and such a price is in line with Western wage standards.

After the ministers of various countries exchanged ideas, the British minister Sa Daoyi gave a reply on behalf of everyone, and Gui Shun looked at the manuscript in his hand, which was no different from Li Erye's plan.

"Oh...... Another point that Ben Baylor forgot to say is that the transaction between us cannot be based on the paper money of various countries, it must be a cash and silver transaction, of course, bartering goods can also be exchanged, after all, our country uses physical currency.

Speaking of which, the matter of the medicinal herb trade is over, and you just need to spread the news to Shanghai Dao. Looking for the plague hall, a qiē will follow what we say.

The epidemic situation in your country is very important, if you don't have cash and silver for a while, it's okay to make an IOU temporarily, and our cooperation is not temporary. It's long-lasting! ”

This addition, Gui Shun didn't see it just now, and it's not too late to say it now, after listening to such conditions, the ministers of various countries exchanged a bit, and most of the looks in their eyes were that this Gui Beile of the Qing State was not easy to deal with.

Li Hongzhang, who was sitting next to Gui Shun. is also sighing that Li Ershen is powerful, this person is not easy to mess with, he has no last resort!

Temporary credit can dispel the doubts in the hearts of foreign devils, and the medicinal materials that can be owed on credit. The quantity must be limited, the medicinal materials for epidemic prevention have been tested in Jinmen, and they must be effective.

The medicinal materials have a place to go, and the ministers of various countries naturally want to send telegrams, and while Gui Shun is not paying attention, Li Hongzhang took the manuscript in front of him and took a look. Immediately exclaimed.

"Lord Belle, such a condition, the councils accept?"

Looking at the terms that Li Ershen will list. Li Hongzhang was very surprised, no matter how you look at the terms above, it doesn't look like the Qing Dynasty was defeated, but the foreign devils were defeated.

If such a contract can really be signed, as a minister of peace talks, it will really go down in history.

"I know you're asking. Negotiating, negotiating, it's like buying and selling. The sky-high price is repaid on the spot, how do you know that the foreign devils will not accept it if you don't bring it up?

If they accept. It shows that the situation in their country is not optimistic, and we can still seek certain benefits in the trading of medicinal materials outside the contract.

What Gui Shun said, Li Hongzhang can only understand part of it, in his opinion, it is already good to be able to make a lot of money on medicinal materials, and it is impossible to use the plague as a threat to force the foreign devils to make concessions in the war.

The plague, there is an epidemic in the Qing Dynasty almost every year, killing and injuring some people, this is not enough to shake the national policy of a country, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Ding Wuqi Famine he experienced, that one was killed and injured by more than 10 million people, and the lives of the people were very lowly in the eyes of Lao Li, he didn't understand why Li Ershen was so confident.

"This ...... The old man still feels that something is wrong, Lord Belle, you have to prevent the foreign devils and dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry......"

It's good to ask for a price to repay the money on the spot, but it also depends on what price you offer, one or two silver things, you will ask for 10,000 yuan, this deal can't be talked about at all, and if you can't talk about it, you have to pick it up.

The combat power of the Zhenwei Army is just like that, compared to the elite of the Huai Army, the Zhenwei Army is still a lot worse, and the blood that can be fought in Jingu is mainly because of the vicious strategy of General Li Ershen.

Fighting again, Li Hongzhang can be sure that the Beijing division will fall, which is also one of the reasons why he shrank his head before, once the foreign devils and dogs jump over the wall in a hurry, the remnants of the foreign devils in Jingu are enough to capture the Beijing division, once the Beijing division falls, many things will be irreparable.

"Lord Zhongtang, the dog has to be in a hurry to jump off the wall, I just looked at the faces of foreign devils, their eyes are red, their faces are sad, and they are obviously in a hurry!

Look at their posture, they really look like vicious dogs who have been forced to be anxious, who can force them? I'm afraid it's their court, right?

Let's take care of the medicinal materials, look at them one by one, which one of them is not a breath of air?

We drove away Lao Maozi before, these people didn't speak, let's let them send a telegram, they will send a telegram, I'm afraid it's much hotter under their butts than us! ”

These are not what Li Dacheng taught Gui Shun to say, but Gui Shun realized it himself, negotiation, in his opinion, is no different from touching porcelain and playing tricks, playing is a bluff.

stabilized the shelf, suppressed the bitter master, and the benefits were about to arrive, and he was anxious to bare his face, and stretching his arms and legs was a sign of weakness.

"Hmm...... This old man didn't take a closer look, but I'll take a closer look later, Lord Belle has grown a lot during this time! ”

Just now Gui Shun was able to take away the old man, Li Hongzhang was a little surprised, Gui Shun said the faces of the ministers, Li Hongzhang didn't see it, but he saw the anxiety on their faces, maybe it's really like this!

"Huh...... Lord Zhongtang praised it falsely, and he couldn't say anything about his growth, but he just realized some truths during this time!

Lord Zhongtang, I heard that the court of this foreign devil is different from our court, and the people of foreign devils can remove the court, and this common people are so expensive on the side of foreign devils? ”

The common people can depose the court of foreigners, this is what Gui Shun heard from Li Dacheng's mouth, but he doesn't believe it, the court is not as good as the common people, who believes this in the Qing Dynasty?

"Hmmm! The old man traveled to Europe a few years ago, and he also heard such a saying, don't we also have the saying that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat?

The old man didn't believe it before, but now it seems that it is really somewhat credible. ”

Listening to the statement of Guishun people to oust the imperial court, Li Hongzhang also grasped the key to Li Ershen's actions, far away in the Qing Dynasty, using the people's hearts of foreign devils, this method is powerful, carefully thinking about Li Ershen before and after he was born, Li Hongzhang also had a little more hope on his face, maybe Li Ershen will see this, so that he can be invincible, right?

Many people can see the words of the people's hearts, but many people don't believe it, thinking of the appearance of foreign devils and the practices of the people in the three eastern provinces, Li Hongzhang believes it a little.

Li Hongzhang also has a few hurdles in his heart, the First Sino-Japanese War and the Xinchou Treaty are naturally melancholy, but the most angry thing in his heart is the undefeated defeat of Zhennanguan that year. (To be continued)
