In the Yamen of the Prime Minister of Dongtangzi Hutong in Beijing, Russian Minister Pabulov said with a sad and indignant face: "Your Excellency, the Great Russian Empire has just signed a contract with your country, and your government has taken the initiative to use troops to surround our Consulate General in Shanghai, which is a serious incident that seriously damages the honor of our Great Russian Empire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 For this reason, China seriously proposes: 1. All Shanghai officials involved in the incident will be removed from their posts and investigated; 2. The land east of Odessa Road, west of Kiev Road, south of St. Nicholas Road, and north of the Huangpu River will be leased to China in accordance with the "Shanghai Land Lease Regulations"; 3. Compensate my country for the loss of 500,000 taels of silver; 4. Lushun, Dalian and their nearby waters will be leased to China for a tentative period of 25 years; 5. A section of 'gap land' is extended to the north of the leased land, and troops may not be stationed in the gap without our permission; 6. The branch line built by our China Eastern Railway to Lushun and Dalian shall not be transferred to another country without our permission. ”

At this time, Prince Gong, who was the prime minister of the king? But I couldn't see many expressions. Abundant? Although he is now reappointed as the prime minister of Yamen Wang, he is still the prime minister. I know that this prime minister's yamen is no longer what it was when it was first formed, and the current prime minister's yamen can still be used if it sounds good, but inside, there is a miasma. Not waiting yet? replied, but Weng Tongyi, who was sitting on the side, replied: "Your country is so rude! It is a breach of contract to build roads in our land and bring harm to our people. Now I mentioned another ridiculous request, is it to deceive me and no one in the Qing Dynasty? ”

After listening to the translator's translation, Babulov looked at Yi with a sneer? He said, "Your Excellency, is this the final decision of your government?" In this case, then wait for our fleet to come to the capital, and we will talk about it! With that, he turned around and walked out of the lobby.

"Slow down!" Abundant? Seeing Babulov leaving, he hurriedly said, and at the same time glanced at Weng Tonggong with dissatisfaction. 's eyes looked at him, although he was shocked, but he still didn't care.

Pablov paused and turned to ask, "Your Excellency, is there anything else I need to convey to my Majesty that I can tell you as well." ”

Abundant? Looking at Pabulov's extremely unreasonable attitude, he held back the anger in his heart and said: "What I said just now is only the opinion of some people in my country, this matter is a big matter, I need to report to His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress Dowager, and I also ask your envoy to wait patiently, I will definitely give your envoy a satisfactory answer." ”

"Okay, three days, if your country can't meet the needs of our country in three days, my country will come and ask for it! Your Royal Highness, farewell! Babulov walked out without looking back.

Weng Tongyi looked at Pabulov's appearance and said angrily: "A group of barbarians who don't know etiquette! ”

"Lord Weng, if you think you can use the words of a saint to influence this group of barbarians, this king is happy to see this!" Abundant? said lightly, "Diplomacy is a major matter of the country, how can you allow you to make decisions based on your own selfish feelings?" The new defeat of the national dynasty to the Japanese invaders, the emptiness of the treasury, and the withering of the people's livelihood are the time to lie down and taste the courage. If you provoke the Russian army to come, how can the ancestral land of the country be safe? Your Majesty and the Queen Mother? Once you lose again, will you go to negotiate and sign a contract this time? ”

Weng Tongyi was shocked when he heard that he was going to sign a contract after failure, once he was like this as the leader of the Qingliu, wouldn't he never be able to turn over? So Weng Tongyi hurriedly knelt down and replied: "It's the lower official who is disrespectful, and I hope that the prince will atone for his sins!" ”

Abundant? Snorted coldly: "Lord Weng still goes back to the palace to show His Majesty, and this king will also go to the garden to talk to the Queen Mother." After speaking, Weng Tonggong got up and walked out of the lobby of the prime minister's yamen by himself.

According to the normal development of history, since 1897, with the beginning of the second industrial revolution, the output of industrial products in various countries has been further increased, and in order to get more dumping grounds, countries have begun to continuously seek spheres of influence in China.

Recently, Witte was at the Huizhong Hotel in Shanghai to discuss with Ulyanov, Bebel and others about preparations for the first congress of the Communist Party of the Russian Union. While Witte was busy with Russian diplomacy in Beijing and Shanghai, Bebel and others were not idle. After spending the fifteenth day of the Chinese New Year in Shanghai, Ulyanov, Bebel, Luxembourg, Zetkin and others began to travel in Jiangnan, China. They traveled to Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou and other places, and after traveling around the richest region in China, the Jiangnan region, Luxemburg was telling Witte what he had seen and heard. "Vasya, don't you know, the scenery of the Qing Kingdom is really beautiful, the beauty and legend of the West Lake are simply fascinating, and the Taihu Lake has such a beautiful love story, I find that I am now beginning to fall in love with this beautiful country."

Ulyanov on the side smiled when he heard this: "Miss Rosa, why do you focus on these love stories?" Do you have a crush on someone? ”

Luxemburg's face flushed when he heard this, and then he fell silent, and the people around him let out a good-natured laugh, and Witte came out to relieve the siege at this time: "Ilyich, you have been in the Qing Kingdom for the longest time, do you feel anything?" ”

"Qing is a very great country, and the people are very hardworking. I once went to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in Shanghai as a journalist, and the workers there were in poor conditions and had very low wages, but they were still working, and they did not dare to resist in the face of the oppression of the foremen, and I have to say that the people here are very numb. Ilyich heard Werther ask, and said.

After Ulyanov finished speaking, Bebel also said: "We passed through the Qing countryside on our way to various places, and we found that the peasants here were very hard, and most of them were only vassals of the landlords and did not have their own land. They faced severe oppression, but since the peasant revolt more than forty years ago, there has been no widespread movement against tyranny in this country, and I have heard from some literati that they are also disgusted by that insurrection. ”

Zetkin continued: "The officials here treat human life like a child's play, they arbitrarily decide the life and death of a person, and use torture tools to extract confessions. And I've heard that the bureaucracy here is corrupt and the people are hungry and cold. As we traveled, many people died of hunger on the roadside, and many of them were children. ”

Witt heard their perception of this country from these people, and sighed in his heart, China at this time was really "sad for all horses". Witte did not continue the conversation, and asked, "Are all the delegates to the meeting now on their way?" ”

"Well, they departed by boat from Marseille on March 30 and are expected to arrive in Shanghai around June 20." Dzerzhinsky, who was in charge of liaison with Petersburg, said.

After hearing this, Witte said: "I contacted a local businessman in the Qing Kingdom, and he offered me a property in Nanhui County, east of Shanghai, which covers an area of 5 acres (about 31 acres), and I have already had people renovate it, and it will be completed in about a month." ”

After hearing this, Plekhanov smiled and said: "You are really powerful as the consul general of Shanghai, even the big businessmen of the Qing Kingdom need to give you preferential treatment." ”

"Sir, I don't know, this guy is doing a good business in Shanghai! He used the cross-border road construction to occupy 1.21 square kilometers of land that originally belonged to Shanghai County of the Qing Dynasty for development, and if it is properly developed, this guy will become a new wealthy businessman and big capitalist in Shanghai! Ulyanov said with a smile.

Witt hurriedly said: "I shouldn't have let you open a newspaper if I knew it, you know what I'm doing." "It turns out that after the last time Witte came to Shanghai, he got a copy of Vladimir for Ulyanov. Ilyich. Lenin's passport document, this passport identity document was issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry and was completely authentic. As a result, Ulyanov, who assumed the pseudonym Lenin, opened a newspaper in the French Concession, which not only provided French newspapers, but also published Chinese newspapers to promote Marxism, and this newspaper also became a cover for Plekhanov and others.

Plekhanov said: "Yes, we are in dire need of financial support for our business now, and it would be very helpful if we could get a lot of money in the Far East." ”

After dinner, Witte and Lenin (Ulyanov) went to a bungalow in the French Concession where Lenin lived, and Witte looked at the house and said: "This is much cleaner than your residence in Petersburg, you are not looking for a woman, are you?" ”

"You kid don't slander people, I'm innocent." Lenin hurriedly said, "By the way, you must have something to discuss with me when you come to me this time!" ”

Witt smiled and said, "Ilyich who knows me!" I want to support a Marxist political party in the Qing country, and support this party to win the Qing state power as our help! ”

"What?" Lenin asked.
