Chapter 40: Negotiations in the South Seas

Then the local governor said; 'Ladies and gentlemen, I have prepared a welcome banquet at the Governor's Palace, please rest at the Governor's Palace!

Li Hongzhang looked at Prince Gong!

Prince Gong said; "You and the ministers of various countries and the governor should deal with the aftermath of this incident, and I will go to visit the people of China who have been affected in this civil unrest according to the emperor's will!

Li Hongzhang felt that it was better to act separately, so he asked Deng Shichang to send someone to protect Prince Gong to the Li family's rubber plantation, and when nearly 300 fully armed marines came down from the Dingyuan warship, the British minister and the local governor of Java were shocked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In panic, he said, we reserve the right to negotiate with China to send troops to Nanyang!

Prince Gong glanced at them; "Say, of course you can!"

Then he led the men and left amid the cheers of the Nanyang Chinese!

For the first time in history, such a tough attitude strengthened the patriotic enthusiasm of overseas Chinese, and then in the process of the rise of the Chinese Empire, overseas Chinese, especially Nanyang Chinese, made indelible contributions to it!

When he came to the burned rubber groves, the looted Chinese shops, and the corpses of the Chinese who were brutally killed, Prince Rao Shigong was also a person who had experienced many big battles, and he didn't wet his eyes with tears, but he didn't let the tears fall, and his face was gloomy everywhere he went.

Looking at this gray-haired, almost old man, trembling and about to salute him, Prince Gong grabbed the old man and said, This king is late! This king is late! This king is late!

This king will make this group of beasts pay for their blood debts! This king will never let this group of beasts go! No matter where they go, no matter how much time it takes, the Qing Empire must track it down to the end, and it must give an explanation to the Chinese people!

After saying that, just my old man's hand, both of them cried bitterly and couldn't help themselves!

Liu Mingchuan next to him comforted beside him, Lord Wang, you have to take care of the Holy Body! Let's think about what to do in the future!

What else can I do, send troops to garrison here, I see that one is tired of life, dare to come again!

Rajah! Don't be rash! This matter needs to be considered in the long run!

Prince Gong relieved his emotions a little, knowing that he was too excited, send the injured to Dingyuan for treatment! Send additional soldiers to patrol everywhere, in case of accidents, there are not enough people to ask Deng Shichang for people, get all the ammunition he can provide, and bury the dead properly!

This king will not leave tonight, he will live here, and this king wants to let the entire Chinese in Nanyang know that from today on, no one can bully the Chinese casually!

Liu Mingchuan replied; "Wow!"

Then lead the landing team to guard everywhere and deal with the scene!

It is said that Li Hongzhang came to the Java Governor's Palace, which is peaceful, everyone is wearing gorgeous clothes, and everyone is celebrating this gathering in a harmonious atmosphere, the Java Governor's Palace has never been so lively!

All the people are talking happily, even Li Hongzhang is also drinking with the ministers of various countries, but there is only one exception, this person is wearing a new army uniform of the Chinese Empire, but there is no rank and medal, the clothes are full of mud, dirty, and the handsome face looks very tired, with short haircuts, it looks natural growth, it turns out to be bald, because it has not been ignored for a long time, so it is long, but it still meets the regulations, and it can't be grasped with your hands!

Now he is holding the emperor's punishment notice to Liu Mingchuan and him, Liu Mingchuan was fined for two months and wrote 20,000 words for inspection, and Zhao Bingjun was also punished for writing 20,000 words for inspection!

Zhao Bingjun has not had any luck since he came back from the United States, the best thing for these international students is to have a translation errand in the Tongwen Museum, originally they didn't have much hope in life, but I didn't expect that one day, the emperor asked them to read together!

This is a position that has been unavoidable in China since ancient times, and everyone knows that this is a promising position in the future! Everything has been different since!

First of all, he didn't be an escort for a few days, the emperor didn't meet Liu Mingchuan a few times, and then the emperor let him come to Taiwan, on the basis of being poor and white, he and Liu Mingchuan just established a new army, although there is only a team of more than 2,000 people, and there is business, in fact, he is not very good at business, Guangxu let him start a tobacco business in Taiwan, and the profits are very high. Taiwan's new army was built on the profits of tobacco!

Now Taiwan has also established a preliminary industrial system, especially which bicycle factory, the products produced are very good, but the tires can only be used solid tires, the inner tube has been tested many times, and it is still unsuccessful, of course, this is inseparable from the support of the Nanyang Chinese.

In the early stage, the Nanyang Chinese invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Taiwan to develop Taiwan's economy, so after receiving a request for help from Java, under Liu Mingchuan's order, Zhao Bingjun, the chief of staff, followed without hesitation!

Looking at Guangxu's punishment for the two of them, Zhao Bingjun felt very kind, he could feel that Guangxu had a preference for students studying in the United States, this trust came from the heart, Zhao Bingjun knew that the time had come for the revival of the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Guangxu would definitely be able to complete this historical mission!

Just when he was stunned, a bewitching and beautiful white woman came to him and said in very broken Chinese; "Hello"

Zhao Bingjun replied in English; “hallo”

This beautiful woman was surprised to say, "Do you know English?"

Zhao Bingjun returned; "Yes"

The beauty smiled happily, it was too difficult to meet a Chinese who knew English! So the two of them chatted!

The beauty asked; "Why are you dressed like this, like you've just come back from the battlefield?"

Zhao Bingjun said with a smile, I really came back from the battlefield, and it was a very cruel battle, I almost died!

Beauty asked; "Why is all this?"

Zhao Bingjun began to talk about the incident。。。。。。

can think of a handsome Chinese general, and then tell a little girl his heroic story of the year, it is a picture that every man yearns for!

In this way, they talked for a long time, and when they were separated, the beauty told Zhao Bingjun that her name was Scarlett. Kudben

Zhao Bingjun told her name

Scarlett said; "General, I think we'll meet again!"

Wish!

Scarlett is gone, this is Baroness Minsdok!

At this time, Li Hongzhang also pulled out in an environment full of wine glasses, and asked people to come to Zhao Bingjun and ask him what the actual situation was.

Zhao Bingjun said what he just said again, but this time it didn't feel as good as last time!

After receiving the order, the Fujian Mawei Naval Division quickly formed a team, brought ammunition and other supplies and set off, the Mawei Naval Division was destroyed in the Sino-French War, and now this is a ship that was later drawn from its fleet, this time the fleet sent a total of five warships, as well as two supply ships, the largest of which is the Guangbing battleship! Displacement of three thousand tons!

They will arrive in three days after traveling day and night, and they will be accompanied by Liang Dunyan and Wu Zhongxian, who have not rested for a long time, and have just finished the matter of determining the process and seats of the international tribunal, and they were sent here by the emperor!

The two of them were already weak, and coupled with the recent fatigue, they vomited on the boat!

The high ship pipe belt had to slow down, so that the two of them could relieve themselves, but after being discovered by Liang Dunyan, he scolded him, at this time, he was moving forward at full speed, and the pipe belt originally wanted to please the two, knowing that the people around the emperor at this time had a bright future in the future, but he didn't expect to pat the horse's hooves.

The ship accelerated, and the two men vomited even more fiercely!

Pipe band shook his head, O miserable man!

After listening to Zhao Bingjun's report, Li Hongzhang was very calm, and he took out the negotiation request put forward by Emperor Guangxu and showed it to Zhao Bingjun.

When Zhao saw it, he said; "This must be very difficult to do!"

Li Hongzhang said that things are man-made!

Your thirteen Taibao are about to gather, and Liang Dunyan and Wu Zhongxian will be here soon!

Zhao Bingjun said; "Great, with the two of them, in Jiangshang Li Zhongtang is in the center, it is not difficult for me to fulfill the emperor's requirements, in diplomacy and negotiation, these two people are experts"

Tomorrow, you, Tang Shaoyi, and Cai Shaoji will come to see me together, and we will go together to meet the British Governor of Java, tell them the emperor's conditions, and see how we want to negotiate!

Zhao Bingjun couldn't take a break, and gathered all the current ministers of Guangxu overnight to study what to do about it, Cai Shaoji said; "If only Liang Dunyan and Wu Zhongxian were here"

Tang Shaoyi said; "They will come soon, this matter is related to the confidence of overseas Chinese in the Chinese Empire, and it is of great significance to the rise of China, and it must not be taken lightly, I think, first of all, the British government and his colonial government must make a guarantee that such an incident will never happen in the future, as for the garrison and indemnity, the situation can be discussed, and at present, there should be no problem for our country to temporarily garrison troops here."

Zhao Bingjun looked at it, he deserved to be the boss, the thirteen Taibao were vaguely centered on Tang Shaoyi, only this person has an all-round talent!

Those who can work hard!

Zhao Bingjun said, then please trouble the elder brother to write a negotiation charter first!

I'll sleep first, I haven't slept well in days!

After saying that, he found a place to sleep.

In this way, under the night of Tang Shaoyi and Cai Shaoji's struggle, the negotiation offer was born, and when they planned that it was already dawn, ten people came to Li Hongzhang's residence together, but Li Hongzhang was not there, it turned out that Li Hongzhang went to see Prince Gong overnight!

So the Taibao went to Lee's rubber plantation again!

Where Tang Shaoyi and these people saw a hell on earth, if it weren't for the fact that it was right in front of them, they wouldn't believe that overseas Chinese had suffered those hardships!

Prince Gong asked about the details of each negotiation, and at last he said that we could reduce the garrison year by year, but the Governor of Java and the British government had to agree to several other conditions!

First, the children of China can return to China to join the army and go to school, and the Javanese and British governments must not be rudely obstructed.

The second piece of Lee's rubber plantation, the king decided to buy it and build it into the Chinese consulate in Java.

Third, the consulate can hire armed forces to maintain the security of the consulate, and the consulate of our Huaxia is equivalent to the territory of Huaxia and is inviolable!

This one must be promised!

You know, there's still a fleet coming!

I don't believe it, I can't control these bastards!

Tang Shaoyi looked at Li Hongzhang!

Li Hongzhang said, add, add in!

In the cheers of many overseas Chinese, Tang Shaoyi took Prince Gong's revised negotiation treaty and followed Li Hongzhang to the Governor's Mansion to negotiate!

In the Governor's Palace, Li Hongzhang sat in the middle of the negotiations, with the authors Tang Shaoyi and Cai Shaoji on both sides, followed by a group of Taibao, among which Zhan Tianyou sat on the very edge. On the opposite side were the British Minister Richard King and the Governor of Java, and next to them were the ministers of various countries who came with the European delegation!

When the British minister saw the terms of negotiation, he thought that he did not know much Chinese to delay, and found that this trick could not be used, and English was written next to the offer every day, and after Richard King read it once, the content was not remembered, he knew how there was not even a single grammatical error!

Then I looked at it again, and the Chinese conditions were that he could not do what he wanted, and he handed the treaty to the governor of Java!

The Governor of Java's face turned pale! This time he'll have to explain to the British government what the hell is going on!

The following is the beginning of the debate between the two defenses, Tang Shaoyi and Cai Shaoji directly argued with the British minister in English! Li Hongzhang's translation was translated to him later, and the whole process did not involve the old man to score, and the governor of Java also did not let each other go, you come and go is very exciting!

In the process, the ministers of other countries had already understood what was going on, and in the end, because the two sides did not give in to each other, the meeting fell into silence! In the end, the ministers in France and Germany and other countries saw that this is not the way to go on, and the purpose of our coming out of China is to return to China and take the rich man to do business! Germany also hoped that China could buy warships from him, and the French minister had received the news that the king had sent someone to wait in the port, and France must be the first to buy China's fine porcelain. This is a luxury, and it is very valuable.

Therefore, the ministers of various countries also did not agree with China and Britain to spend money like this, so they began to mediate from it, so China and Britain first reached a clause, and the British government promised that such time would never happen again, and the other terms would be discussed tomorrow!

It was very late, and Tang Shaoyi could also see that Li Hongzhang was old after all, but the old man was carrying it, and the old man couldn't bear it like this, so he agreed, begging Li Hongzhang to go first!

So the first confrontation came to an end for the time being!

Later, Tang Shaoyi sent a telegram to Beijing to report on the progress of the negotiations, and Li Hongzhang was old, and his health and energy were really worried, so he asked Beijing Premier Yamen to select negotiators and other matters.
