The cold wind in the North Korean belt was muffled by the deafening shelling, but now, the sound of artillery roaring was muffled by Liu Jun's anger.

Anger, helplessness, hatred, all written on the face.

The mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, Zhong Lin saw Liu Jun so angry for the first time, he couldn't help swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva to hide his timidity.

With red eyes, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin and asked coldly, "Who signed it?" Tell Lao Tzu who signed it. ”

"University scholars are the same." Zhong Lin hurriedly replied.

Hearing that it was Weng Tongyong, Liu Jun was short of breath. His face was red, and the telegram he picked up in his hand trembled with anger. Suddenly, like a volcanic eruption, Liu Jun threw the telegram in his hand to the ground, and stepped on his feet resentfully: "Weng Tonggong, you are dead, Lao Tzu doesn't know how you can have the face to see your ancestors, I rely on your ancestors for eighteen generations." You give it to a traitor, a traitor. ”

Woo woo, Liu Jun squatted on the ground and cried, crying and scolding: "Traitor, you are a traitor." ”

When Ding Ruchang, Li Rong, Shoushan and others heard Liu Jun's anger just now, they all thought something was wrong, ran up, and when they saw where Liu Jun was squatting, several people looked puzzled.

Li Rong glanced at Zhong Lin, who bowed his head and didn't speak. walked over and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, what's handsome." ”

Who knew that Zhong Lin raised his head, but Li Rong and the people around him were startled.

"Zhong Lin, what are you crying about. What's going on? Ding Ruchang walked up and looked at Zhong Lin, who was stained with tears.

"The imperial court signed a treaty with the Japanese, and Taiwan and Weihai were occupied by the Japanese, and we had to pay eight million taels of silver."

What, everyone was petrified on the spot, looking at Zhong Lin with some disbelief. However, when they saw Liu Jun squatting there, several people seemed to believe it.

Li Hongzhang finally did not block the news that the Japanese army was approaching Longmai Shengjing.

Weng Tongyi didn't know where to get the news, saying that tens of thousands of Japanese troops were approaching Shengjing and had reached the periphery of Shengjing. After getting the news, he was extremely excited, and he found that the opportunity to bring down Li Hongzhang had come. He was sure that Li Hongzhang absolutely blocked the news and did not report it to the imperial court.

When he got the news, he took the initiative to find Cixi for the first time, and arranged for Li Hongzhang to be accused of bullying the king, saying that Li Hongzhang was plotting against him, not delivering emergency military information, and letting the Japanese army attack the land of the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty, and also said that Li Hongzhang did not respect the king, and watched the court be disgraced, the saint was disgraced, and Lafayette was disgraced. should be a felony.

Cixi heard that the Japanese army had hit Shengjing, and the Buddhist beads in her frightened hands also fell to the ground, and her face was colorless, and it took a while to wake up from the shock.

However, she didn't get dizzy yet, and immediately ordered the arrest of Li Hongzhang, but let Guangxu issue an order, saying that Li Hongzhang should return to Beijing as soon as possible, and there was something important to discuss.

Li Hongzhang, who was grinding with the Japanese in Tianjin, did not know that this was Cixi's conspiracy, and took Yang Shixiang back to the capital on the same day, who would have thought that as soon as he arrived at the Jinluan Palace in the capital, Guangxu immediately ordered Li Hongzhang to be imprisoned in the palace.

Weng Tongyi was shooting himself in the foot, he did not expect that Cixi would let him succeed Li Hongzhang as the minister with plenipotentiary for negotiations. I didn't expect the crazy Cixi to shout: "Only the Japanese don't fight Shengjing, and they have to agree to any conditions." ”

Therefore, Weng Tongyi, who came to Tianjin, had no room for negotiation at all, only signed, but fortunately, Li Hongzhang had already gotten along with Japan in the past few days and moved back to some of them.

On April 5, 1895, the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Tianjin was signed at the Governor's Office of Zhili.

The main content of the treaty is:

The Great Qing Dynasty compensated Japan for various losses of 8 million taels of silver.

Second, 300 kilometers from Taiwan, Weihai and the surrounding area were ceded to Japan.

The Three Qing Dynasty recognized Korea as a Japanese vassal state

Fourth, the Qing Dynasty withdrew its troops from Korea and released all the prisoners.

As soon as the treaty was signed, the whole country was in an uproar, and they all pointed the finger at Weng Tonggong, and even many of Weng Tonggong's students immediately came to Weng Tonggong's mansion, bit their fingers, wrote a blood letter, and at the same time severed the teacher-student relationship with him, and immediately burned some calligraphy and paintings given by Weng Tonggong.

Weng Tongyi was also very angry this time, he was very self-respecting and finally understood Li Hongzhang. But it's too late, and the title of traitor will stay with him forever until death.

After Yang Shixiang learned that Li Hongzhang was imprisoned, he thought of a lot of ways to rescue Li Hongzhang, but everyone understood this time that Li Hongzhang was a bully, the emperor and the queen mother were angry, and no one wanted to be a bird, even Prince Gong, who had always had a good relationship with Li Hongzhang, also said that he was sick at home and did not meet Yang Shixiang.

Yang Shixiang had no choice but to return to Tianjin, but the next day, he learned the news of the signing of the "Tianjin Treaty". The news made him seriously ill. His and Li Hongzhang's efforts were in vain.

Liu Jun's efforts to attack Pyongyang were also in vain.

Liu Jun, he thought of Liu Jun, in his opinion, only Liu Jun can save Li Hongzhang now, so he immediately sent a telegram to Lushun, telling everything that happened in China in detail.

After Li He received the telegram, he knew the importance of this matter and immediately forwarded it to Dandong, while Feng Guozhang was also taken aback when he received the telegram, and immediately sent someone to send the telegram to Pyongyang as soon as possible.

"I'm relying on you. Is the court blind, is he a pig? Lao Tzu is about to take it down, and he actually let him surrender. The emperor is a faint king, and his aunt is not a good thing. "Where did Li Rong start to roar.

In normal times, Li Rong's words would have been more than enough to destroy the nine clans, but now, no one blamed him, and they all stood there with heavy faces. looked at Li Rong, who was thundering, and Liu Jun, who was squatting on the ground.

Liu Jun is not feeling good now, he didn't expect the court to be so cowardly, and in such a situation, he would have to go in the same direction, the result of his own efforts, in exchange for this, he hated.

Sighing helplessly, Liu Jun stood up and looked at the few people standing around. Look at Pyongyang, which is still under bombardment.

Looking up at the gray sky, Liu Jun looked at Li Rong sadly: "Stop the shelling, the whole army is on standby." With that, he pulled his head and walked down the mountain.

"Dashuai." Li Rong was unwilling and called Liu Jun loudly, hoping that Liu Jun would change this decision, but Liu Jun did not look back.

Hey, Li Rong chopped his feet. Helplessly, he could only go and give an order, the whole army withdrew, and the artillery stopped bombardment.

Returning to a North Korean house that is now temporarily used as a headquarters, Liu Jun looked back at Zhong Lin, who was further behind.

Pointing at Zhong Lin, Liu Jun said lightly: "Show me that I live here, no one is allowed to come in, I have to think about it." ”

"Head, don't worry, even if the king of heaven is here, I will show you too." Zhong Lin pulled out the revolver in his hand and opened the insurance with an unkind face.

"En" Liu Jun nodded, pushed the room open, and locked himself inside.

This is supposed to be a bedroom, although it is simple, but it is appropriately furnished

Liu Jun walked straight to the chair near the window and sat down. Take a few deep breaths to sober yourself up from your anger and close your eyes. Thinking about where to go next.

One night, Liu Jundu stayed alone inside.

"Zhong Lin, the handsome hasn't come out yet." Ding Ruchang walked in early in the morning. Ask Zhong Lin, who is standing in front of the door.

"Nope." Zhong Lin shook his head.

"Hey, now that the army is staying outside the city, what should I do, the marshal wants to pay attention to it." Ding Ruchang sighed. After all, tens of thousands of horses have to eat and drink. A day's consumption is a big number.

"I can't help it, let me stay here, and no one is allowed to go in. Now only the lamphead can come out on its own. ”

With a creak, the door finally opened, and the two finally saw Liu Jun walk out.

"Head, you're out, do you want to eat something." Zhong Lin hurriedly asked kindly.

"No, summon Shoushan, Li Rong, Ran Xu, and several other division commanders to come to the meeting.

"Okay, okay, dig and go right away." Zhong Lin happily put away the pistol, and then quickly ran out of the door.

Liu Jun figured it out. This time, he was determined not to listen to the content of the "Tianjin Treaty", let alone withdraw his troops.

He worked hard and died so many brothers to open up this situation, and now he has to withdraw it because of a piece of waste paper, he will never agree. I have to fight hard, even if I can't get the support of the imperial court, I have to rely on the 100,000 troops in my hands now, and the Japanese army will be consumed to a low level. But at the same time, he also knew that once he disobeyed the will of the imperial court, it meant that he might work against the imperial court. That is, and above? and even cut ties with the above. What's more, in the future, the higher authorities will send troops to attack themselves.

He doesn't want to burden people, and he also knows that not everyone will have the same heart as himself, so he wants to hold a meeting to see what everyone thinks, what they want to do with themselves, what they want to do, what they don't want to do, hand over their weapons, and go where they like. He definitely doesn't block.
