The cold wind was biting, and although a charcoal fire was placed in the governor's palace, several negotiators who came to the city felt the cold wind blowing on their necks. There was not the slightest warmth in his body, but instead there was a coldness and fear.

Several people glanced at each other, and then looked at Liu Jun's back in amazement, and they all wondered in their hearts, how did he know.

Indeed, the current treasury can no longer come up with money to support this war, and the treasury's money and grain can only support a month at most. The Emperor had already given orders to borrow money from Britain, Germany, and France to sustain the war, and then instructed the base camp to negotiate with the Qing Kingdom in a pretense to delay time. Therefore, the conditions of this base camp are also the lion's mouth, and the purpose is not to negotiate, but to delay time.

However, now, the Qing people actually know that their treasury is empty, which is really terrible. Several people began to suspect that there were Qing spies in the country, and they were high-ranking officials.

Dark clouds began to envelop Japan, and soon after, Japan began to investigate the matter, making a lot of trouble, but not even the shadow of a spy was caught.

In fact, all of this was guessed by Liu Jun.

In some books of later generations, it is recorded that in fact, during the Sino-Japanese negotiations, Japan was already in a hurry in the past, and at that time, if the espionage system of the Qing Dynasty could be slightly better, it would drag Japan for two months, and Japan would have to lose the war and obediently sign on it. However, the decaying Cixi agreed to Japan at this critical moment, allowing Japan's economy to take off and laying the foundation for the Second Sino-Japanese War.

So this time, the reason why Liu Jun dared to say that Japan's treasury was empty was this reason, although it was only March, but don't forget that the army and materials that Japan lost in his hands were all money, and they were all a huge consumption.

Back in the study, Li Hongzhang, who was still angry just now, suddenly sat on the chair and panted like a deflated ball, blaming Liu Jun for doing too much today. He feared that Japan would suddenly turn around and that the war would start again. At that time, the Japanese army will inevitably attack Shandong and Shengjing, and there will be no way to complete the tasks given by the imperial court at that time.

If it is not completed, it means that he is deceiving the king and is going to lose his head.

Liu Jun still complained about where Li Hongzhang was, but he just smiled and didn't care about Li Hongzhang, in his opinion. Since everyone is tacitly and fake, there is no need to be so serious. Anyone can sing. Pretend.

Seeing that Li Hongzhang finished complaining, Liu Juncai stepped forward to cheer Li Hongzhang up and let him relax, everything was with him.

Liu Jun was originally eloquent, and he was full of confidence, so Li Hongzhang believed it and let him toss.

Early the next morning, the negotiations began again, and this time, the conditions offered by the Japanese side were much more relaxed, but although they were relaxed, it did not mean that Li Hongzhang would accept them.

The compensation was reduced by 30 million taels, and the other Jiaodong Peninsula was not ceded, but Taiwan still wanted it, and it was necessary to recognize Korea as a vassal state of Japan.

Liu Jun also-for-tat, directly took out the plan that was not changed yesterday, and threw it on the table, if you want to talk about it, you can accept our conditions first.

Such a tough attitude made the Japanese negotiators very angry. Present offer to rest. Then he left angrily.

Liu Jun didn't stop it, with a casual expression.

Who knows, this rest is three days.

In the past three days, Li Hongzhang has kept asking people to inquire about the news, but there has been no result, so this time he blamed Liu Jun for doing absolutely nothing. There is not the slightest retreat.

And Liu Jun didn't think of this, he estimated that in the past two days, the Japanese army has definitely been doing something, but he has not received any information from Zhong Lin, so he can't fabricate it out of thin air.

After a sleepless night, Liu Jun got up the next day and received a notice from the Japanese representative that the negotiations would resume today.

At noon, the weather was a little cold, and Liu Jun, who was sitting in his seat, felt a little strange that he had died, if it was this time on weekdays, the Japanese would have already arrived at the venue. Today, however, two minutes have passed in the negotiations, and there are still no negotiators. Just when Liu Jun was waiting for him to go to bed, he finally waited for the Japanese representative, and not all of them, it was a person. Japanese Minister to China Ono.

Before the two sides could speak, Liu Jun saw Ono angrily throwing down a protest and said: "Your country has no sincerity at all, since you are negotiating, why do you want to attack my troops in Liaoyang, it is despicable." After discovering the anger, Ono suddenly changed his expression and said, "However, the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire have foiled your plot and taken over Liaoyang City. So today, I'm here to protest against your country. I hope that your country will exercise restraint and not allow such a thing to happen again. ”

Editor, what the hell do you need to make up, Liu Jun looked at Ono, who was thundering everywhere, and his heart was full of anger, this little Japanese actor's acting skills are really perfect. The thieves shouted for such good reasons to catch the thieves. It's not a good bird.

After Ono finished speaking, he bowed his head heavily, and said with regret: "In view of your country's insincerity, Perfect has decided to temporarily suspend negotiations, and after you have dealt with the relevant personnel, Perfect is resuming negotiations," After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the door.

Liu Jun, who had known for a long time that Japan would have such a hand, was not surprised, on the contrary, he thought that it was normal, but Li Hongzhang and everyone sitting next to him were already dumbfounded, as if petrified.

After shaking it lightly twice, Li Hongzhang still didn't move.

With a snap, Liu Jun was startled,

Li Hongzhang next to him turned pale. The palm of his hand slammed the chair, and he knew that he had been deceived by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army occupies Liaoyang, and it will attack Shengjing at any time, if it still insists on holding on to Japan like this now. I'm afraid that the court will be guilty of it immediately. At that time, anyone in the imperial court only needs to say that Li Hongzhang will sit idly by and let the Japanese army occupy Shengjing, I am afraid that at that time. I guess I won't have to die.

Liu Jun probably saw Li Hongzhang's thoughts, and he comforted: "Don't worry, my lord, the Japanese will return to the negotiation table in two days at the latest." ”

Li Hongzhang looked at Liu Jun suspiciously, and his expression was just a few words: "You think the Japanese are your grandson, and you will come back when you say it."

However, when Li Hongzhang saw Liu Jun's confident face, he reluctantly agreed, and then stood up weakly and walked out.

Seeing that all the people were gone, Liu Jun sat alone, staring at the charcoal fire and muttering to himself, "At this time, it is estimated that Li Rong has already begun to attack."

In fact, long before leaving Tianjin, Liu Jun and Zhong Lin came to the telegraph office together and sent an encrypted telegram to Li Rong, the content of the telegram was to let Li Rong and Shoushan take advantage of the carelessness of the Japanese army to storm the Yalu River, and then quickly occupy Sinuiju. The retreat of the 1st and 15th Divisions was completely cut off. And in the Korean occupation footsteps, advance to Dingju, the area of the Sinjin River. Thus coercing Pyongyang.

Standing up, Liu Jun wanted to go out to find Zhong Lin and see if there was any information from Dandong.

After leaving the Governor's Mansion and walking two streets, Liu Jun came to the place where he met Zhong Lin.

Not long after he sat down, Liu Jun saw Zhong Lin dressed in black satin. The man in cloth shoes came over and sat down beside him.

After taking a sip of tea, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin in surprise and asked strangely, "What are you doing, dressed as this virtue?" ”

Zhong Lin took a look at his clothes and smiled: "Head, look good." ”

"Phew, seeing that it's all disgusting, tell Lao Tzu, what are you going to do if you dress like this?" Liu Jun looked disdainful

"Head, it's easy to catch people by dressing like this." Seeing Liu Jun's hesitation, Zhong Lin hurriedly explained: "It's not that you let us catch some technicians and go back, it's inconvenient to wear military uniforms." ”

Oh, Liu Jun nodded in realization. Indeed, the act of arresting people is resolutely not to tarnish the image of the Lushun Army, and this kind of thing cannot be blatantly come.

After taking a sip of tea, Liu Juncai remembered the matter: "Is there a situation on Li Rong's side?" ”

"Yes, I just received the information." After Zhong Lin finished speaking, he took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Liu Jun and said: "Li Rong and Shoushan have launched a strong attack last night, and took Sinuiju at eight o'clock this morning, and now the fourth division and the fourth army, the main force of the second army, are moving towards Korea, and now they have arrived in Dingzhou and are attacking the Japanese army. It is estimated that at this time, Dingzhou has been taken.

It turned out that at 10 o'clock last night, Li Rong and Shoushan suddenly concentrated their artillery to bombard the positions of the Japanese troops on the opposite bank, and then launched a forced crossing.

The Japanese army thought that after the armistice, the Qing army would not attack, so the defense was very lax, and in less than half an hour, the Lushun army landed in Korea, and then quickly arrived at Sinuiju, began to attack the city, and took Sinuiju.

After those Xinuiju, Li Rong immediately ordered the Fourth Division and the four brigades of the Fourth Army to quickly advance to Dingzhou and Jinjiang according to Liu Jun's order. It also achieved the goal of coercing Pyongyang.

At the same time, Zhang Yi's Third Army also began to attack Haicheng, and completely annihilated 1,000 troops guarding Haicheng.

Okay, okay, Liu Junlian said a few good words, this is what he was waiting for.

is more shameless than shameless, he himself is a shameless ancestor.
