Jaegaki was very impressed.
He thought of Jinan again. When he appeared on the other side of the Yellow River as the leader of the Qing Dynasty's peace negotiation delegation, the wharf could be said to be crowded with people and very lively. Despite this, Jaeyuan has not been so moved today. Because that day, Director Lin in front of him did not come to the welcome scene in person.
Now it's different, compared to the trip to Jinan, he is now a hairless phoenix is not as good as a chicken, to put it bluntly, it was a negotiation at that time, and today, it may be more appropriate to say that he is here to ask for help. In his opinion, the scenery of the common people dancing and chirping doesn't mean anything at all, anyway, being idle is idle, giving a couple of dates, he doesn't believe that there are still people who don't want to come out to breathe? At this moment, Director Lin can deign to the gate of Yuanmen, that is his great honor. At this moment, he naturally remembered the word "old friend" that was always on his lips every time Director Lin saw him, and his heart suddenly felt warm.
However, what made Zaiyuan anxious was that after Director Lin brought a group of powerful Celestial Empire generals to welcome them into the camp, he actually led them directly to a large room. There, Jae-won's sight was the food being served.
"Haha, you just want to step on the noon meal, if I don't entertain it well, it seems that I don't pay too much attention to my old friends," as soon as the guest and host sat down, Lin Haifeng raised his chopsticks and gestured at Zaiyuan and the others who were sitting on pins and needles, "It's a big thing, and you have to feed your stomach, it's just that the food is too simple, hehe, the table is full of Qu Mo vegetables, mother-in-law Ding and purslane, which makes the adults laugh." In wartime, it should be nice to be able to eat such a taste. Come...... Raise your chopsticks and eat, and you're welcome. ”
"Thank you...... Thanks a lot...... Thank you Director Lin for your kindness," Zaiyuan forced a smile and reluctantly picked up the chopsticks, "It's just ......"
Lin Haifeng picked up a chopstick mother-in-law and put it into the coarse porcelain bowl in front of Zaiyuan, "Old friend, are you used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, and it is difficult to enjoy my coarse tea and light rice here?" ”
"Where...... Where's ......" Zaiyuan thanked him again and again, looked at the wild vegetable in the bowl that he couldn't name, and smiled bitterly, "I won't tell you...... Alas...... At the beginning, due to insufficient preparations, so many people and horses gathered in the palace at once, although the food could barely last for a few days, but the meat and vegetables were ...... Hehe...... Not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. You must also know that in a place like the capital, once the external supply is cut off, it is simply a dead city. ”
"Huh...... Look at it, I'll just say, no one is good for a thousand days, no flowers are red for a hundred days, and not all the days in this palace are like gods, but there are still people who are willing to compete to be that long live," Lin Haifeng smiled at Zuo Zongtang, Chen Yucheng and other generals, and turned to Zaiyuan, "I know, if I don't give you a good mood, I'm afraid you won't be able to swallow no matter how good the meal is." ”
Seeing the expectant expression on Zaiyuan's face, Lin Haifeng smiled, "Actually, this negotiation doesn't necessarily have to be negotiated by sitting there in a formal manner. Since we are all acquaintances, I think we can talk while eating, and we can talk as much as we want. This kind of environment is very good, everyone does not distinguish each other, like brothers to talk about housework, it doesn't matter if it's wrong, after all, it's not too late to regret it after eating, you say I'm right? ”
The atmosphere in the restaurant was much better all of a sudden, and for a short time, there was no sound except for the sound of chewing on the bar.
Lin ...... Director Lin ...... "Weng Tongjue, who had eaten a few bites, was obviously not very suitable for the title of "director", and his name was a little lame. He wiped his mouth and looked at Lin Haifeng with blank eyes, "Weichen...... Next...... The student Weng Tongjue, the father of the family...... For the sake of peace talks, my father has now fallen into the hands of Yiyun and Bai Ye, and before leaving, the king of Monk Greenqin went to them again, and Director Lin ......"
"Ahem......" Zaiyuan quickly stopped the chopsticks in his hand, glanced at Weng Tongjue, who was starting to choke a little, and coughed fiercely.
Lin Haifeng looked at the person who spoke sympathetically and nodded, from the beginning of the introduction, he knew that the person who spoke was the younger brother of Weng Tongshu, the envoy of Shandong who had returned to Dezhou, and the second son of Weng Xincun. Then, he looked at Zaiyuan and smiled, "Weng Xincun is a scholar who took Cixi's 'Yi Zhi' to persuade Yi Xun and Bai Ye, right?" ”
"Yes......" Zaiyuan nodded, and the appetite that had just gotten up weakened again, "But in order to stop the peace talks between our two sides, Yi Xun and Bai Ye detained Lord Weng who went to read Cixi's edict. ”
"Monk Greenqin went to them again......" Lin Haifeng lowered his head and fiddled with a piece of tofu in the big bowl in front of him, as if he was talking to himself, "It seems that the eyebrows are burned,......" he said, he looked up at Zuo Zongtang, Chen Yucheng and others sitting in a row.
Seeing that Zuo Zongtang and the others didn't seem to hear Director Lin's sigh at all, they lowered their heads and only cared about eating, without any reaction. Jaegaki chuckled in his heart.
"yes, yes, it's really burning eyebrows." Zaiyuan had to turn his gaze back to Director Lin's face.
"Alas...... It's not easy for our Red Army soldiers, no wonder no one is willing to take my words," Lin Haifeng shook his head, looked at Zaiyuan and sighed, "I originally thought that every grass and tree in Beijing was very precious, and it couldn't and shouldn't be damaged. But they said, "Aren't the lives of our people as good as those broken bricks and tiles?" Think about it, is there anything more important than being alive? I also know that the soldiers have already held back their strength, and either they don't fight him, or they just beat him happily. ”
Lin ...... Director Lin, you can't beat it......" Zaiyuan was startled, the chopsticks fell to the ground, and he didn't care about picking them up at all, "With the chaotic soldiers, the capital will face a catastrophe unprecedented in history." ”
"So what?" Chen Yucheng picked up his words at this time, "As long as we finally recover the whole world, we can start over if we break anything." ”
"I can't do it all over again...... "Jaewon's forehead sweated so much that he couldn't do it again." Whether it's a royal palace, a royal palace, or a temple...... Which of these things is not the hard work of many generations of craftsmen of your Han people! ”
"But what about the conditions of this peace talks...... Lin Haifeng looked at the anxious Zaiyuan and shook his head gently, "We have already mentioned it in Jinan, but you just don't want to accept it, we ...... How can we be so strong? ”
"Director Lin......" Zaiyuan's head was hot, and his eyes lit up, "I really want to hear your current terms again?" ”
"Terms?" Lin Haifeng looked at Zaiyuan with some incomprehension, "Do you need to say that the clause is still needed, hasn't it been repeated many times ago in Jinan?" ”
Oh my God! Zaigaki's pounding heart secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, at that time, due to your obstacles, there was no time to talk about the details," Lin Haifeng bent down to pick up the chopsticks on the ground, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped it carefully, and put it back in front of Zaiyuan, whose face changed from white to red, and from red to white, "In the name of Tongzhi, you must repent to the people of the whole world, repent of your shameless occupation and barbaric rule over the land of China for more than 200 years, and repent that you have turned a splendid culture of the Chinese nation with a long history into an out-and-out slave culture...... Of course, after Tongzhi announced his abdication, except for the war criminals, the Celestial Empire government will make proper arrangements for other members of the imperial family. In our Tianjing, the Celestial Empire government has prepared suitable mansions for them, where, over time, they will gradually transform from vampires attached to the people to self-reliant people. In addition, the soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners, as well as the bureaucrats and nobles in the inner city of Beijing, except for those who have a skill, who are really useful to stay, or who can support their families, must go to the various resettlement places in stages and batches to engage in the same life as all the people......
Zaiyuan seemed to have been listening intently to Director Lin's remarks, but in fact, he didn't pay attention to what Lin Haifeng said later. The "Jinan Clause" is what he expects most, and what does it have to do with him? In the middle, he even thought of the dead Qiying, as well as the Yishan in Heilongjiang. He couldn't help but secretly feel a little lucky, glad that his negotiation partner was not a foreigner. If the foreigners sitting across from me today don't invite them to dinner, I'm afraid they will feel redundant when they are still breathing air.
