Liu Jun and Li Hongzhang's strategy was to reduce it slightly by tens of millions of taels in the future on the basis of 100 million silver, and they knew that the Japanese were simply shameless to the limit, and in such a situation, they still did not admit defeat, and they were annoyed that Liu Jun, whose temper was not very good, was annoyed at once.

Fixed price: 100 million taels of silver, withdraw from Weihai, otherwise war will start immediately.

Where does Japan still have the energy to go to war, the Combined Fleet has been destroyed, the treasury is empty, Russia threatens, and what is even more hateful is that the free loan of 50 million pounds promised by Britain has come to naught because of the Liaodong War. ’

Now in front of him, Liu Jun is about to shout for war when he comes back from a trip, which is simply tossing Japan to death. Killing is also not an excuse for the Qing State to start a war.

However, Ito Hirobumi was also unable to make a decision, so the request was relieved and replied a day later. However, just as he was about to leave, Liu Jun stopped the Japanese representative who was leaving.

Ito Hirobumi and the others didn't know what Liu Jun was going to do, but since they had already called, even if they weren't happy to stay here, they had to wait hypocritically for Liu Jun to finish.

Seeing a few people sit down, Liu Jun took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I am a civilized country in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor is extremely smart, and the relationship between our Zhongtang Lord and you is not trivial, so in order to let you go back and explain, our Zhongtang Lord absolutely, and the North Korean affairs are now under the actual control of both sides." The north is under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty, and the south is under the jurisdiction of Japan, but you pay 1,000,000 taels of silver every year. ”

This news is a good news, Ito Hirobun thought that North Korea would not be able to protect it, but as soon as he heard this, he knew that the Qing State had made concessions, although he was happy in his heart, but after listening to it with a blank face, he stood up and thanked him, and after the salute, he lowered his head one by one and walked out of the negotiation place.

In the study room of the Tianjin Governor's Mansion, Liu Jun is now with his head down, still complaining about where Li Hongzhang is.

Li Hongzhang complained that Liu Jun was too ruthless, and things must be reversed, Liu Jun didn't even say hello to himself, and asked for 100 million taels at that time.

Li Hongzhang knew Japan's financial resources and paid 100 million taels, so it was better to go to Japan and loot it himself, and sell all the broken copper and iron, to see if it was worth 100 million taels of silver.

100 million, the annual financial revenue of the Qing Dynasty is only half of this.

Seeing where Li Hongzhang was chattering, he gasped for breath.

Liu Jun smiled and walked up: "Don't worry, old man, don't you pay it off in five years." ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Hongzhang became angry, five years, let alone five years, even if it is adding five years, Japan can't afford to change it.

Raising the cigarette pouch pole in his hand high, Li Hongzhang wanted to look at Liu Jun's head, but when he saw the thick military hat, Li Hongzhang couldn't bear it, and said helplessly: "Don't say five years, ten years won't be over." ”

Hmph, Liu Jun snorted coldly, picked up the apple from the table viciously, took a bite of it, and said something that made Li Hongzhang's wooden stool pants stunned

"If you can't afford it, you can take the tariff, if the tariff is not enough, you will take the national tax, and if the national tax is not enough, you will take the woman."

The cold, everyone present, felt goosebumps fall to the ground. This was not only Li Hongzhang, but even Yang Shixiang, who was standing on the side, frowned and kept shaking his head, Sven swept the floor, Sven swept the floor. Where is this image of a court official, it is simply a bandit.

Regardless of whether the bandits are good or officials, Liu Jun thinks like this, if you have money, you will get the money, if you don't have the money, then the tariff, or if you don't have it, you will take a woman to pay off. Anyway, most of the more than 100,000 people in his army are single, and it can be regarded as a free introduction to them.

"There's still no shame in it." Li Hongzhang shook his head helplessly, looked at Liu Jun who was standing in front of him with a fierce face, and said meaningfully.

He can be regarded as serving Liu Jun. also knew that no matter how much he complained, it was useless, so he had to let people prepare a meal, chat with Liu Jun and others after eating, and wait for news from Japan.

The Japanese emperor finally agreed to the conditions of the Qing Dynasty.

June 25, 1895, No. 2 port of Tianjin Wharf, deck of the warship Qiaoli.

The Sino-Japanese peace treaty "Sino-Japanese Treaty of Tianjin" will be signed here at 9 o'clock today.

The reason why he chose the Hashidate is that Liu Jun is also very lacking in morality, which is to humiliate Japan. So after telling Li Hongzhang what he meant that day, Li Hongzhang was also a patriotic and angry young man, and at the same time, he also hated Japan for torturing him miserably, so he immediately made a decision and held a signing ceremony on the deck of the Qiaoli, not in the Governor's Palace.

The Hashidate, as well as the Shichang and Buchan moored next to it, on the bridge and mast of the Buchan, have long been draped in red and green. Even those main guns are hung with big red flowers. to celebrate today's signing ceremony.

On the deck of the Hashidate, the sailors had already received Liu Jun's notice yesterday, and consciously washed and washed, brushed and brushed the deck of the Hashidate, knowing that they could reflect the figures, and then these sailors returned to the dormitory with satisfaction, changed into the cleanest white military uniforms, and waited quietly.

Woo woo

At half past eight, the Hashidate sounded its whistle, and the officers and men of the Navy, who had been waiting in various bedrooms all night, continued to rush out of the bedrooms, and then arrived at the deck, and stood in a circle with the highest naval etiquette, the stride salute, and then stood there energetically under the sea breeze, waiting for the signing ceremony to arrive.

"Old man, slow down." At 8:40, Li Hongzhang finally arrived on the bridge under the care of Liu Jun all the way.

Bring a chair and let Li Hongzhang sit down. Liu Jun noticed the decoration of the deck this time.

In the middle of the deck, under the main guns of the Hashidate, there were two conference tables, on which were laid a clean white red cloth with brushes and ink, and the green paper to be signed today.

"Liu, I knew you would definitely invite me today." Far away, the German minister Klinder greeted him.

Liu Jun did a great job this time, in order not to give Japan a chance to regret it, this time, Liu Jun made a big fuss about the signing ceremony, and he asked Li Hongzhang to invite ministers from various countries to come to the Hashidate to watch this great moment.

If Japan dares to repent, it will become the object of contempt of any country sitting in the country.

Just after nine o'clock, Liu Jun, who had been standing beside Li Hongzhang, saw Ito Hirobumi and the Japanese representative with gloomy faces and walked onto the deck of the Hashidate.

Liu Jun understood the feelings in their hearts too well, you must know that this warship was originally a joint fleet, but now, it has not only become a trophy of the Beiyang Naval Division, but also an object of humiliation.

That's what Liu Jun wants. He saw Ito Yuheng with his head down, and Ito Hirofumi, who was walking in front, also showed a hint of blush, smiled slightly, and looked at Li Hongzhang who was sitting next to him: "Old man, let's start." ”

Li Hongzhang is wearing a court dress and a yellow coat today, he looks very domineering, nodding slightly, Li Hongzhang stood up. Accompanied by Yang Shixiang and Liu Jun, they came to the Taishi chair in the middle and sat down, while Liu Jun and Yang Shixiang sat next to Li Hongzhang respectively.

After the two sides sat down, Liu Jun turned his head and looked at Li He who was standing beside him.

Li He was holding a small red pennant in his hand, which was a signal flag.

Seeing Liu Jun turn around, Li He understood what Liu Jun meant, and immediately raised his right hand and waved the small red flag towards the position of the salute.

Boom.

As soon as the red flag waved, the naval gunner, who had already loaded the salute into the breech, pulled the tow rope violently.

A loud noise began to resound in the sky.

Boom, boom, the Bu Toad and Shichang next to them also fired a salute.

As soon as the salute stopped, the officers and men of the navy raised their guns violently and fired three shots into the sky.

After the gunshot, the smell of gunsmoke entered his nose, Liu Jun inhaled twice, and his eyes were a little moist.

He didn't expect that he and the Japanese would dare to simply prevent the Japanese from occupying Lushun and slaughtering the people of Lushun, but he didn't expect that he could defeat the Japanese army.

When Li Hongzhang heard the gunshot, he was also full of emotion in his heart. At that time, he was forced to fight, and he was already determined to die, but he did not expect that he could defeat Japan, which was already several times stronger than him.

"Old man, sign, it's time to sign." Liu Jun saw Li Hongzhang sitting there looking at the yellow dragon flag fluttering opposite in a daze, and gently pushed Li Hongzhang.

"Oh" Li Hongzhang came to his senses, only to find that the Japanese representative Ito Hirobumi had already signed and was waiting there.

Trembling with the brush put aside, after writing the three words Li Hongzhang in a trembling manner, Li Hongzhang suddenly smiled easily, this was the first time he had signed a real peace treaty.
