Li Hongzhang has been dealing with the negotiation with the imperial court in Baoji, and when he came back at this time, Liu Jun really didn't know what was going on over there, but for the time being, Liu Jun didn't want to ask, just now Li Hongzhang had already said the solution to the problem he had just encountered.

"According to the old man's wishes, send a telegram to Li He and ask him to discuss with the prince." After pointing to Huo Yuanjia in front of him, Liu Jun stood up and came to Li Hongzhang with a smile and said, "The old man suddenly returned to Beijing, didn't he?" ”

"No, Baoji is still negotiating, I handed over everything to Wu Tingfang, I was too depressed over there, I came back to breathe."

Rubbing the edges, it seems that the court is going to drag it down with him, Li Hongzhang is a master negotiator, and he can torture Li Hongzhang to the point of being bored, so the court can be regarded as having a certain ability.

"It seems that the imperial court wants to drag it on with us forever?" Zheng Yiqian said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, that's what the imperial court meant, during this time, the negotiations with the imperial court all revolved around the issue of abdication, but once this issue was mentioned, Zaitao would not let go. It's just that, I think they're deliberately delaying time, and they can drag it out for as long as they can. Li Hongzhang, who sat down, immediately echoed Zheng Yiqian's words. ，

This time, he came back to Beijing, nominally to ventilate, but in fact he wanted to discuss with Liu Jun that he couldn't let the imperial court go on like this, otherwise, the success of this negotiation would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Well, hearing the words of the two, Liu Jun nodded, indeed, the imperial court is also a little embarrassed this time, since this is the case, then he can't wait forever, after all, he has more important things to deal with.

Thinking of this, Liu Jun, who lowered his head and pondered, raised his head and said to Zheng Yiqian in front of him; "Have all the military supplies of the various armies been delivered?"

A month before the end of the Japanese war, Lend-Lease had begun to transfer materials from the northeast to Baoji, and now, so much time has passed, Liu Jun estimates that the materials have been in place, even if there are certain defects, it is not very big.

"Wang Shizhen has reported in a telegram a few days ago that now all ministries are ready, and the grain and grass are enough to last for half a year." Zheng Yiqian thought for a while, and then said to Liu Jun beside her.

Half a year is enough for a small imperial court, and there is no need for half a year.

"Old man, it seems that you are going to return to Baoji, let me give you a word, today is the fifteenth of June, tell the imperial court that if you still do not agree on the first of July, the Liaodong Army will immediately attack."

Okay, I came today, just waiting for this sentence, and now seeing that Liu Jun had said this in person, Li Hongzhang smiled and stood up: "There is no problem, but what you promised me is ......."

I promised this old man something, Liu Jun, who frowned and thought about it for a while, suddenly understood, this old man has no wind and no waves, and today I came to ask myself when he was the emperor.

"I promise you, as soon as the Southwestern side is over, a conference on the establishment of the state will be convened."

It's okay to have this sentence, that's what I'm waiting for, Li Hongzhang saw Liu Jun say this sentence again, immediately smiled, turned around and walked out.

"This old man, he won't be satisfied if he doesn't fix me." After Li Hongzhang left, Liu Jun smiled and said to Zheng Yiqian in front of him.

This Zheng Yiqian is not easy to say, after all, now, I am afraid that only Liu Jun is kept in the dark, the entire senior military officers in Liaodong, who doesn't want Liu Jun to be the emperor, so it is good to have a name, but now, Liaodong is not a country, and people have not even sent an ambassador, which is somewhat embarrassing.

Since Liu Jun didn't know about this matter for the time being, Zheng Yiqian didn't want to break it, she lowered her head and thought about it for a while, Zheng Yiqian remembered what Liu Jun just said, the deadline for the imperial court, from this sentence, Zheng Yiqian estimated that Liu Jun was going to fight to the death with the imperial court.

"Did you really decide to break with the court and send troops?" Zheng Yiqian, who was sitting on the chair, thought for a while and asked Liu Jun in front of her.

Of course, this is a good opportunity, now, Britain and France have been deterred by their own destruction of Japan's aftermath, at this time, their own troops to the southwest, that is the best opportunity, at least Britain and France will not interfere, but he knows that when he comes to this village, there will be no such shop, if he does not take the southwest at this time, in the future, when Britain and France react, when the time comes, I am afraid that there will not be such good luck.

"Time is running out, and I can't afford to miss this opportunity." After speaking, Liu Jun took a deep breath, looked at the sun that was about to set in the distance, and slowly closed his eyes.

Baoji, Zuixianlou, the fierce quarrel is still going on in the negotiation room, and the representatives of Liaodong and the imperial court are still fighting with each other.

"Since we can't talk about it today, let's adjourn." As usual, Zaitao saw that the other party didn't care about him at all, and still stood up and said that he wanted to leave, after all, that's what everyone did some time ago.

"Slow." An old and powerful voice sounded, and then, from outside the door, came in a person who made Zaitao a little scared when he saw it, Li Hongzhang.

He didn't go to Beijing, how could he suddenly appear here, seeing Li Hongzhang, Zaitao looked at Songpan in front of him and Zhang Zhidong, who had returned from Chengdu, with a puzzled expression.

The two looked at each other and said that this matter could not be answered.

Seeing that the two of them couldn't answer, plus Li Hongzhang had already walked to the opposite side and sat down, Zaitao could only be patient and sit on the chair, but he estimated in his heart that this must not be a good thing.

"I don't know if Marshal Li is here today?" Zaitao, who didn't understand what Li Hongzhang meant, asked after taking a deep breath.

Li Hongzhang did return to Beijing, but after getting Liu Jun's accurate news, he set off that night and returned to Baoji without stopping. Now, the time is June 18th, that is, the time given to the imperial court has less than eleven days to consider.

Li Hongzhang glanced at Zaitao in front of him, this guy's grinding skills are very good, if possible, take him to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and hand him over to Wu Tingfang to hone it, then he will be a rare diplomatic talent, at least this kind of grinding attitude can directly make many opponents crazy.

Li Hongzhang was obviously in a good mood today, and after opening the cigarette on the table and taking a puff, Li Hongzhang said slowly: "I'm here to give you a word today." I, Liaodong, will launch an attack on time at 8 o'clock in the morning on the 1st of July, if you are interested, please be sure to reply on the 31st of June, otherwise, the sword will be merciless.
