Young Master Meng cares about the general trend of the world, and the update speed of his Huacui Evening News is still very good, after all, this is an era of extremely underdeveloped information!

The Huacui Evening News has set up reporter stations in various places, and many of the stationmasters come out of No. 99 Yanhe Road, which is the secret agency of the Huacui Society to train spies. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Young Master Meng invested in this area very early, as early as when he just bought the American Concession, he had already invested, it turned out that Dazhi was mainly in charge, and now Xuan Yuewen has also intervened.

After Zhang Decheng and Wei Kuiheng and others returned to the concession with the Yongding Gang, this team of people who had combat experience with foreign devils outside became the team of No. 99 Yanhe Road in the early stage, and No. 99 Yanhe Road has a scientific name, called the Statistics Bureau, however, Young Master Meng doesn't like to call it the Statistics Bureau, he doesn't feel good, he likes to call it No. 99 Yanhe Road!

This is an institution that young master Meng values very much.

Young Master Meng's news can be obtained in time, and the credit of No. 99 Yanhe Road is not small.

He Jingzi Xiao Song, a native of Xiangshan, Guangdong, was not only the same year as Li Hongzhang was a jinshi, but also was elected as a Jishi of the Hanlin Academy. At the expiration of the period, he was awarded the editor, and the tired officials supervised the imperial history and Anhui Lufeng Road.

In the eleventh year of Xianfeng (1861 AD), upon the recommendation of Li Hongzhang, he was admitted to the Zeng State Domain, and the general office of the Hunan Army Camp Office, and the official star began to appear. In the second year of Tongzhi (1863 AD), he was awarded the Anhui Provincial Inspectorate; In the ninth year of Tongzhi (1870 AD), the second grade was awarded to the governor of Fujian.

Under the control of Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan's funeral was handled in a beautiful manner, and both the government and the opposition obeyed.

A month after returning to Tianjin, Li Hongzhang was reimbursed as a scholar of Dongge University and became a legitimate Xiangguo.

Li Hongzhang is now the No. 1 Hanchen in the world, controlling most of the rich lands of the Qing Dynasty, and he also has an army that can fight well in battle, accounting for more than half of the total number of imperial courts, and has since begun the pinnacle of his legendary life!

At this historical juncture, it is no too much to say that Li Hongzhang is the male protagonist and the Empress Dowager Cixi is the female protagonist.

Just when Young Master Meng exchanged 30 million taels of silver for gold and was about to go to Europe and the United States to fight a financial war, Xuan Hongtao had an accident again and postponed the date of Young Master Meng's departure.

Xuan Hongtao followed his immediate boss, Chen Qin, the Taoist of Jinhaiguan, to the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili and the Yamen of the Minister of Beiyang, and met Li Hongzhang.

Chen Qin gave a big salute first, and said: "I came in a hurry, one is to congratulate the Lord to pay respects, and the other is to have an important matter to tell the Lord." ”

Li Hongzhang saw Chen Qin's sweat, and couldn't help asking: "Chen Dao, looking at your appearance, could it be that there was an accident in Tianjin?" Is the manufacturing bureau short of silver again? ”

Chen Qin said: "Jue Xiangyu, it's not that there is an accident in the manufacturing bureau, but that the Japanese are here again!" After speaking, he took out a few pages from the protectorate and handed them to Li Hongzhang and said: "The Japanese people said that the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with the treaty made with me last year and had to be revised. They have come this time to deal with the revision of the treaty. This is a revised treaty prepared by the Japanese people, so please take a look at it. ”

Li Hongzhang flipped through it, and when he saw that it was all in Japanese, he shouted: "Someone!" ”

A guard came in, and Li Hongzhang handed him the treaty and said, "Send it to the translation hall immediately, and let the interpreter translate it overnight, and there is no delay." ”

The guard hurriedly took it, said yes, and walked out quickly.

Li Hongzhang pointed to the chair and said, "Chen Dao, you sit down first." ”

Sheng Xuanhuai immediately shouted again: "Come on, serve tea to Lord Chen!" ”

Someone outside soon brought tea in.

Chen Qin sat down and said, "My lord, before I left, I specially let the translator take a look at the newly drafted treaty of the Japanese people. According to the translation, the new treaty drafted by the Japanese people is similar to the treaty between the Qing Dynasty and the Western Kingdom, and at the same time it has added many rights and interests. This time, all the treaties made last time have been overturned! ”

Li Hongzhang was so angry that he stood up suddenly, slammed his hand on the table and said, "These stupid thieves! He's turned against the sky! You go down and rest first, and then send you to discuss it when the headquarters has read the treaty. The head of the department originally planned to join forces with the Japanese to deal with the Westerners, but the appetite of the Japanese was greater than that of the Westerners! After all, they are cowards, and they can't be together! ”

Yanagihara Maemitsu, Ito Hirobumi and others bought off Jirin, mediated between them, and have already gone through the route of the prime minister's yamen.

Chen Qinshili retired, leaving Li Hongzhang to walk around the signing room alone.

Sheng Xuanhuai offered advice, "Lord Zhongtang, this time I just took the opportunity to trap Xuan Hongtao, he is from Jinhaiguan, he never does things, and he has no ability. ”

Li Hongzhang thought about it, and was worried that there was no way to punish Xuan Yuemeng, who made him very faceless, Xuan Yuemeng refused Li Hongzhang's request for a piece of land for the port and wharf of the American Concession, although Young Master Meng did not make a noise, however, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and after all, it was still known by many people.

This is really unbearable evil anger for Li Hongzhang, who has just won the honor of the head of Hanchen, Li Hongzhang has already moved to kill!

If it weren't for the noble status of Jie Gege's quasi-forehead, Young Master Meng's life would be worrying.

Li Hongzhang did not come hard because he took into account the face of the queen mother of the two palaces, otherwise, Li Hongzhang would kill Xuan Yuemeng, no matter how tightly the defense of the American concession is, Li Hongzhang has a chance, Li Hongzhang is not a ruler, in this era, Li Hongzhang, a big tiger, is even more powerful than Prince Gong.

Young Master Meng was worried about Li Hongzhang's power, and he has always been cautious, and he has not been out of the American Concession for many days, and the activity venue is extremely monotonous. Young Master Meng cherishes his life very much, after offending Li Hongzhang, can he not worry?

"We'll see tomorrow." Li Hongzhang agreed with Sheng Xuanhuai's advice.

"Yes." Sheng Xuanhuai is still very powerful, Sheng Xuanhuai is by Li Hongzhang's side, which is equivalent to Hu Xueyan being by Zuo Zongtang's side.

Li Hongzhang sighed and muttered to himself: "Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Yuemeng, I want to wrestle with the old man at such a young age." Your grandfather wouldn't dare! ”

The next day, the translator finished translating the new Japanese contract and sent someone to Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang took a look at it, and as Chen Qin said, the treaty that Japan had drafted this time was actually a copy of the contract between the West and the Qing Dynasty, and it was almost the same.

Li Hongzhang was furious, and immediately sent Chen Qin and Xuan Hongtao over and ordered: "The two countries are not child's play to revise the treaty, and there is no reason to change it if you want to." Chen Dao, you immediately return to them this request for contract modification handed over by the Japanese, and tell them the truth what the headquarters said, so that they can die of this idea. I agreed to sign a contract with them in the Qing Dynasty, which has already given them enough face, and they dare to gain an inch! Outrageous! Xuan Hongtao is solely responsible for this matter! ”

Xuan Hongtao was shocked, and he was fully responsible? (To be continued.) )
