Although the Russians patted their chests and repeatedly stated that they had the latest inside information about the peace talks of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government, and although the Russians had not yet been able to go directly to the negotiating table to go into battle shirtless, in addition to cheering and cheering their allies the "Great Qing Delegation" from time to time, they also promptly transmitted the latest and "extremely valuable" news obtained through guò "absolutely reliable" channels to the "Great Qing Delegation" in order to strengthen the fighting spirit of their allies.
To say that this is definitely enough to know oneself and the other. However, the actual negotiation process was not unsatisfactory, and it was even unsatisfactory, and even made Jaeyuan feel more and more at a loss.
Nearly half a month has passed, and not only does he not see the slightest hint that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom side will relax the negotiation conditions, but on the contrary, he clearly feels that the tone of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom delegates is getting tougher and tougher, and it seems that there is a great momentum that if you don't agree, I will stop talking. This is the same as the so-called information that their Russian friends have in advance, and the whole thing is a monkey eating twist and full of twists.
As a result, the negotiations had to reach an impasse again.
How is this good? Every day, he sent back messengers one by one to inform the capital of the latest trends in the negotiations, not only that, but he also kneaded the information he got from his Russian friends, and had already woven an almost perfect beautiful vision for the king of the Qing Dynasty, who was busy with the internal stability and unity of the Qing Dynasty.
Just when Zaiyuan couldn't think of how to reverse the passive situation in front of him, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom side was finally empathetic. However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government did not want to change the terms of negotiation, but only squeezed out a mention from between their teeth, in the words of Zeng Guofan, "whether the meeting is adjourned for five days, everyone relaxes and relaxes their tense nerves, and the key is to calm down and carefully weigh the stakes."
Speaking of relaxation, it was just a nice word, and of course Zaeyuan knew in his heart that the other party actually knew that he couldn't make any last-minute decisions, but gave him some time and told him to hurry up and ask his master.
Now, counting on the dreams of the Russians alone, Zaiyuan did not feel very reliable in any case, and he concealed everyone in the delegation, and really sent an urgent envoy to the capital for 800 miles. Of course, he didn't want Yi Xin, as the king of the council, to succumb to his opponent at such a critical moment, but told him in advance that the negotiations might not end up with any results, and it was the best policy to prepare for the situation.
Doing so is his obligation. However, when he couldn't sleep at night, he really imagined what it would be like if he went to the side of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Like Kong Zhaoci? Or is it like Cezanne? Or is it Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan? It was really hard for him to convince himself. If nothing else, he was always thinking, if the current battlefield advantage fell one by one and was replaced by the Qing Dynasty, how would he treat those rebels? What's more, the Manchus did not rely on the word "rebellion", but as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom said, they were bandits who occupied people's homes by the most despicable, shameless, and inhumane means. As soon as he thought of this, he was discouraged. Yes, I'm afraid to think about everything backwards, not to mention others, but if a thief really enters his house, can he live peacefully with the thief?
Five days of adjournment, Du Han and others rarely have leisure, actually have the leisure to run to the shore of Daming Lake to chant poems and sing Fu, express their pride, even since the last time in the middle of the negotiation of the monk Grinqin, although he has been ill since then Lang Langde appeared in the negotiation hall again, at this time actually regained his vitality, pulled a few people accompanied by Sai Shang'a, Zeng Guofan, Kong Zhaoci, together to Mount Tai.
It's a pity, only Zaigaki didn't feel any relief for him.
In the past few days, there has been an important conversation between the director of the Northern Camp of the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the legendary King An, who has always wanted to be taught in person, but has never had such an opportunity, and the American Observer Group.
While sitting with his Russian friends, they told him that an official of the American Observation Mission had privately tried to persuade His Royal Highness King An, who could decide the final fate of the negotiations between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and the Manchu government, whether he could conditionally accept the Manchu proposal for peace talks that would draw the Yellow River and confront him. For example, can the Manchu Qing Dynasty be asked to publicly admit that it was they who had invaded China's great rivers and mountains, apologize and apologize for it, and then everyone will be peaceful and prosperous, so as to end the war and chaos in the country and give the people of the world a peaceful living environment? In the end, human survival comes first.
Who would have thought that when King An heard this, he unceremoniously pointed to the nose of the official of the American Observation Mission and asked, "Let's not talk about whether you can choose to submit to Britain in the War of Independence back then, and if a war breaks out between the North and the South of the United States, can you also find a central line and establish their own countries?" ”
It is said that the American officials were stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "No, why do we want to fight each other in the north and south?" America is united, it is enduring and enduring it. ”
"Freedom, freedom for black brothers." The king smiled coldly, "Where there are slaves, there must be war sooner or later, this is an irreversible law." ”
When the Russian friend who heard the news told this as a joke, he also took out a few crumpled manuscripts of a piece that was said to be written by the prince himself, hoping that the Manchu friends would identify and identify whether they could find something valuable from it.
Du Han and the others in the delegation unfolded the manuscript one by one, and the result was that they had nothing at all, just a poem written on one of the papers, which attracted the attention of several people.
"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless; Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging. Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test. It must be a sunny day, and look at the red dress, which is extraordinarily enchanting. There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style; Tang Zong and Song Zu are slightly less coquettish. A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle. The past, the number of romantic figures, but also look at the present. ”
"Good words!"
"The quatrain ...... 'There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists', it is really a swan song for the ages......"
Several Hanlin members in the delegation whispered in admiration.
Du Han was silent for a long time, and suddenly his mouth was pursed, his face full of disdain, "The fate of man is destined by God, and he is destined to be a lowly minion, do you really want to be a master?" A bad poem is actually written so arrogantly and uninhibitedly, I don't know how thick the sky is. ”
Looking at Du Han, who was like a fox who couldn't eat grapes and shouted that grapes were sour, Zaiyuan shook his head secretly. He didn't really take the joke of his Russian friend as a joke, and although he was not proficient in Chinese, he also smelled a kind of domineering detachment from the few words. Whether it is the "joke" in the front or the manuscript in the back, that King An actually has something to say. Everyone knows that as long as the Manchus are there, the Han people are pure and lowly slaves. Who doesn't know that Genghis Khan was in the thick of the day.
This is not the end, another embarrassing thing happened, which caught Zaiyuan even more off guard. According to information from the capital, the Taiping Army in the northwest has begun a large-scale crackdown on the rebellious Hui people. Jae-won was dumbfounded.
Immediately afterward, on the fourth day of the adjournment, Hong Renji, the head of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom delegation, urgently made an appointment to meet Zaiyuan, and another earth-shattering thunder made him almost not go crazy.
