87_87379 Jingshi's negotiation will drag on again It will be bad for Gui Shun, who knows if the old ladies will really kill Gui Shun by negligence for a while, the heat is almost over, Li Dacheng sent a telegram to Gu Qixing, asking Gui Shun to ask for a decree to negotiate.

Gu Qixing's reaction to this is quite difficult, peace talks are not just for anyone who wants to go, the former prime minister and the minister of national affairs was King Qing, and now it is Zaiyi, to be honest, Gui Shun really does not have the qualifications for this negotiation.

If the road to peace talks is not opened, Gui Shun is not far from death, and now several people in Jingshi, whether it is Ronglu, King Qing, or Duanjun Wang Zaiyi, can not be used by Gui Shun, sweeping all over the Qing Dynasty, and at this time can still influence the old ladies, only Li Hongzhang in Guangzhou is left.

Please ask for peace, now you can only let Li Hongzhang take the hand! Li Dacheng didn't want to fight with Li Hongzhang before, although Li Hongzhang is the real Beiyang, but the current Beiyang is not in his hands, the current Ronglu Rongzhongtang is Beiyang, and it should not be too difficult to shake hands with Li Hongzhang.

Instructed Gu Qixing to contact Li Hongzhang's men and horses in the capital, but the result was empty, since Li Hongzhang stepped down as the minister of Beiyang, Lao Li has some meaning of falling down and scattering, and the Beiyang forces in Tianjin have also been eaten away by Yuan Shikai, and Sheng Xuanhuai in Shanghai also has the meaning of setting up his own door, and the wall is pushed by everyone, which is inevitable.

The capital can't contact Li Hongzhang, Tianjin can, roughly analyze the situation, let Wang Yongqin ghostwrite a few telegrams, first send a simple letter directly to Guangzhou, Li Hongzhang's response is also very fast, for the Qing Dynasty Li Hongzhang still has a little loyalty, his reply is full of worries, bluntly said that the current Qing Dynasty is strong and strong, and the war will be defeated. He begged Gui Shun to do his best to pull some bargaining chips for Daqing.

Li Dacheng is not the only shrewd person, Li Hongzhang is also very clear about the situation in Tianjin, and his meaning is similar, using the safety of the Tianjin concession as a bargaining chip in peace talks, forcing the foreign devils to sit at the negotiating table.

Such thoughts. Maybe Lao Li in Guangzhou doesn't dare to take it seriously, right? If foreign devils are really so easy to deal with, the Qing Dynasty will not be what it is now.

Li Hongzhang said bluntly, presumably the telegraph line was safe, Li Dacheng simply said bluntly, and informed Li Hongzhang that the next battle had to be fought, and the Zhenwei army may have a way to defeat both with foreign devils. The other end of the telegram was silent for an hour before a few words were sent back: 'What do you want from both sides?' ’。

Such a question is better answered, two words. Guns and cannons!

Li Dacheng knows the situation of the Zhenwei army best, if Germany, Japan and Russia come together, they will be defeated in one battle! If they come in batches, they can fight to the two countries, and if the German devils come first, it is expected that they will be wiped out, and the remaining Japanese and Russian, Zhenwei troops will still not be able to fight against any of them.

None of this can be said in the telegram. It's easy to leak secrets, and the words of losing both sides are hurting, even if they reach the ears of foreign devils. It is not enough to believe that once the detailed strategy is involved, Li Dacheng and the Zhenwei army will be unlucky.

After another period of silence, Li Hongzhang sent four words, doing his best.

After replying to the words 'more than a month', Li Dacheng stepped into the main topic. Directly offered to ask Li Hongzhang to send a telegram requesting Gui Shun to be pushed to the negotiating table, and this time there was a little longer silence there. After more than two hours of silence, a word was given. Difficult!

Staring at a difficult word sent by Li Hongzhang, Li Dacheng was also very helpless, this matter involves a conflict of interests, Li Hongzhang is already in the twilight, although he can't do it, but there is still a force under his command, this force has a conflict with Gui Shun in the future, at this time to push Gui Shun to the negotiation table, is to push Gui Shun to the top, Gui Shun is now up, the future position is likely to be Li Hongzhang's previous position, how critical and important this position is, needless to say, a difficult word, but it is difficult at both ends!

If you want Li Hongzhang's recommendation, Gui Shun will sell part of the benefits, this is a gentleman's agreement, and it must be fulfilled, otherwise it will be a complete war with Li Hongzhang's forces, not to mention Li Hongzhang himself, Sheng Xuanhuai, who is entrenched in Jiangnan, is very difficult to deal with, and he has a conflict with Li Dacheng's future interests......

This time Li Dacheng sat in front of the telegraph and muttered for a long time, as far as Gui Shun is concerned, this matter should be agreed immediately, but as far as Li Dacheng is concerned, compromise at this time is not conducive to his future development, Gui Shun is just a flag of Li Dacheng in the imperial court, the role is not small, and the position is also critical, but it is worth paying immeasurable losses in the future, this matter has to be said.

It is not easy to push Gui Shun to the negotiating table and take the path of foreign devils, and now Germany, Japan and Russia are extremely hostile to Gui Shun, even if there is British support, it is difficult to put Gui Shun on top, and Britain does not support it or two things, other countries do not have this strength.

In the court, Rong Lu is okay, and King Qing is also okay, but Rong Lu is an oil and water, and it is more difficult to take advantage of him, King Qing also has a direct conflict of interest with Gui Shun, and it is good that he doesn't fall into the ground, and it is impossible for him to push Gui Shun to the throne.

Directly let Gui Shun ask the old ladies, at this critical time, there is no reliable recommendation, the old ladies do not dare to use Gui Shun, although Li Hongzhang is also a little strong and middle-class, it seems to be the only gateway for Gui Shun to take the position, time is very critical to Li Dacheng, the interests of the future are the interests of the future, and the interests of the present are more important, thinking about this, Li Dacheng sent four words to Li Hongzhang: go hand in hand.

This can be regarded as agreeing to Li Hongzhang's conditions, but how to choose over there is not Li Dacheng's influence, Bao Guishun is not only Li Hongzhang's road, the other way, is to directly let the Zhenwei army attack the Tianjin concession, this road is even more difficult to walk, it is easy to attract the jealousy of the old ladies, once this road is taken, Gui Shun's move, I am afraid that it will be difficult to go on.

To choose or not to choose, it is very clear to Li Dacheng that if Sheng Xuanhuai gets in the way in the future, it is not impossible to use others to deal with him, and it is not impossible to go hand in hand, there is always some free space.

After shaking hands with Li Hongzhang in the air, there was no news over there, and Li Dacheng did not hesitate, and directly asked Wang Yongqin to draw up a negotiation agreement, and sent someone to the capital overnight. These things can't be forwarded by telegram, and many things are exposed as a great disrespectful sin, and Gui Shun can't afford to bear it now.

Maybe it's for the Qing Dynasty, maybe it's for the Beiyang. Li Hongzhang's actions were very fast, and the next day he went to the telegram to recommend Gui Shun to participate in the negotiations, and for Li Hongzhang, the old ladies were also extremely trusted, and in the afternoon, Gu Qixing in the capital came with a telegram. The charter of the negotiation was received, and Gui Shun officially stepped onto the negotiation table, of course, the seat given to him could not be the one who led the negotiation, and the rest depended on Gui Shun's on-the-spot performance.

Take the Jinmen Concession as a threat. It has an effect on the foreign devils, but it is not very effective, and it is obviously impossible to use the Tianjin Concession as a bargaining chip to let the two sides eliminate all hatred and negotiate.

Gui Shun's appearance at the negotiation table is good, but his bargaining chips are still too few, far from enough for foreign devils to make compromises and concessions immediately. This incident also caused a stir in the capital, but Gui Shun's means were conducive to promoting the peace talks. Only this one, the old ladies have to use Gui Shun.

The next negotiations are still difficult, the Qing court is dragging its feet, time is getting more and more urgent for Li Dacheng, and the German devils who don't know when they will arrive are too threatening to Dagukou. Once the war starts, the idea of letting Gui Shun make a contribution at the negotiating table will be dissolved with the war.

forced foreign devils to pay a certain price and make temporary compromises. It is necessary to do real peace talks. For both Chinese and foreign sides, it must be fought, and three or four days will be wasted in the drag of the imperial court, and such a waste cannot be afforded by the current Qing Dynasty and the Zhenwei army.

Without the cooperation of the army, they are just dozens of ships, and there is not much threat to the land, and as time goes by, these ships will slowly become a feared fleet, and no matter which side's army arrives, this temporary negotiation will be terminated.

But the attitude of the old ladies to seek peace is resolute, Zhenweijun can't directly do anything to the Tianjin Concession, and Li Hongzhang will be used again at this time, but I don't know if his words can affect the decision-making of the old ladies now.

Nowadays, the shape of Jinmen is not very good, and after the great victory of Jinmen, the right army of Wuwei in the Beicang area has signs of moving towards Jinmen. After the canal was cleared a little, Li Bingheng, the minister of the Yangtze River Naval Division, also recruited troops in Jiangsu, preparing to go north along the canal to Qinwang, calculating the time in a few days, Li Bingheng will also go to Jinmen, with Li Bingheng joining, I don't know if Yuan Shikai in Shandong will be moved, once the number of officers and troops near Jinmen exceeds the Zhenwei army, the shape of Jinmen will also change greatly.

At this time, the transfer of a part of the Zhenwei Army from Dagukou is more likely to cause controversy, and there are more people left in Dagukou at first, which is also helpless!

After taking a look at Li Bingheng's resume, Li Dacheng also scratched his head a little, this product looks like a loyal minister, but what he can do is not like a loyal minister at all, in the First Sino-Japanese War, this cargo was guarded in Shandong, and the loss of Weihaiwei and Liugongdao had a lot to do with the command of this goods.

There are a lot of mysteries in the First Sino-Japanese War, and the specific process can't be found, I'm afraid that after this goods arrive in Jinmen, the old ladies will have something to rely on, if he drags the back of the Zhenwei army, this grievance has no place to say!

It is not only the fleets of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang, and foreign devils that are doing it in the foreign power, but also the current Zhenwei army can not get rid of the comments of the foreign strong and the middle cadres, the time is pressing, the lack of guns and artillery, the lack of drills, and the instability of the people's hearts, if Gui Shun does not come back to sit in the town for a long time, Li Dacheng will not be able to get ahead in some things, once the Zhenwei army loses the prestige of saying the same, the future war situation will be difficult to do.

In exchange for the captured ships of the newly built Beiyang Naval Division, Li Dacheng wrote in the negotiation article, and it is not easy for Gui Shun to mention this matter, but time does not allow, compared with Zhenweijun's direct action in the concession area, it is more prudent to mention the change of ships to the old ladies.

After sending a telegram to Gu Qixing's side with only the words 'change boat', Li Hongzhang's telegram also arrived in Beijing, and the southeast mutual insurance is also a thing that the old ladies acquiesce, after all, the southeast is a back road for the old ladies, Gui Shun mentioned the matter of changing ships, Li Hongzhang also mentioned it, and the old ladies may want to test the attitude of foreign devils, so they agreed.

But the Qing Dynasty's foreign strength is very clear, the foreign devils are very clear, the Beiyang warships captured in Dagukou are imported, the Hairong cruiser and the Haizi four hunting ships, these five battleships are worth a lot of money, each is about 100,000 pounds, and this is also the strength in the war, and no one wants to spit out the benefits lightly.

Perhaps based on the trust in the German Expeditionary Force, or perhaps based on the trust in the speed of the build-up of the Japanese and Russian teams, the request for a ship change was also vetoed by the foreign devils, and there was still a deadlock at the negotiating table.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, thinking of the German devils who were still floating on the sea, Li Dacheng was anxious, it would be bad to drag it out any longer, it seemed that he still had to let Gui Shun speak! Since foreign devils are not afraid of the Qing Dynasty, they might as well make a ruthless move to scare them. (To be continued).
