At 10 a.m. on July 21, Zhang Wei met with Zhang Yilu, an envoy sent by the Chinese Emperor Yuan Shikai, in the small conference room of the palace. 【】

Also present were Premier Zheng Daoyou, Chief of the General Staff Lu Weimin, and Foreign Minister Hua Guoqiang, which shows that the Xia Empire attached great importance to the envoys of the Chinese Empire.

Zhang Yilu first conveyed the greetings of Yuan Shikai, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, to the emperor of the Xia Empire, and thanked the Xia Empire for its help to the Chinese Empire.

Subsequently, Zhang Yilu said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Chinese Empire was first established, the national strength was weak, the people's livelihood was difficult, the land of Yan and Zhao was in a protracted drought, and the province of Hunan and Hubei was flooded. ”

Zhang Wei was not very familiar with Zhang Yilu, so he had to tell what he knew: "Special Envoy Zhang, we know that you are in difficulty, hasn't the Xia Empire been moving out the displaced people who can't eat?" Isn't it really helpful to reduce your government's disaster relief? ”

Zhang Yilu also said: "Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Xia Empire has continued to emigrate out every year, saving the lives of many disaster-stricken people. It is just that the number of immigrants who have come out is too large, and now many places are barren because there is no one to cultivate, so I beg His Majesty the Emperor to reduce the number of immigrants from the Chinese Empire, which is also a help to us. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Daoyou was unhappy, and said angrily: "Special Envoy Zhang, we have never forced anyone to emigrate, and our immigrants are all people who are hungry and clothed, if we don't emigrate, they will die soon, if your country is able to provide relief, but there is a glimmer of life, who wants to go away?" ”

Zhang Yilu said: "That's why I implore your country to help help the victims of the disaster instead of emigrating. ”

Lu Weimin was very angry: "If it weren't for the fact that you were a special envoy, I would have killed you based on your words; As government officials of the Chinese Empire, you don't think about how to help the victims and improve the people's livelihood, on the one hand, there is a large amount of barren land, on the other hand, there are tens of millions of displaced people without land, all of you are mediocre officials, don't you be satisfied if you emigrate and let them all starve to death? ”

Zhang Wei comforted: "Don't be angry, it's not worth it; Special Envoy Zhang, we can help you for a year, but what about a year later? We have been immigrating since the end of the Qing Dynasty, about 20 million people, if they hadn't emigrated, they would have become dry bones by now; At that time, I meant that the Xia Empire would help you guard the frontier, so that you could develop the economy and improve people's livelihood; But you are desperately expanding your army, and I am very disappointed in what your country has done; If your country wants us to reduce the number of immigrants, the best way is to improve the people's livelihood as soon as possible, the workers have work, the farmers have land, the children have school, the widows and orphans have people to support, they have food, clothing, and poor houses, even if we point guns at them, no one wants to emigrate. ”

Seeing that the first question embarrassed him so much, Zhang Yilu just dealt with the change of topic, which was exactly what he wanted, so he said: "Our Emperor wants to follow your example and set up a comprehensive university hall, a normal university hall, and a medical university hall in each province, and I hope that your country can assist some professors in Gezhi, arithmetic, geography, drawing, medicine, engineering, mining and other disciplines. 【】”

Premier Zheng Daoyou was afraid that Zhang Wei would agree to the other party's request, so he spoke first: "We have assisted a lot of your personnel and teachers in politics and law, railways, mining, finance and economics, chemical industry, textiles, smelting, machinery, etc., but we are also in urgent need of talents, and after the establishment of Lu and Qi, the gap is even greater; Take medicine as an example, the hospitals in Qi and Lu are only built to the municipal level, and the department personnel are not complete, and the medical students who have not graduated every year have already been booked, and doctors in all provinces of the country have to save lives in hospitals and teach and educate people in medical schools, all of them are multi-tasking; You must know that ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, the Xia Empire was only established a few years earlier than your country, and the talents cultivated are very limited, and we are powerless to do this, so we really can't draw more teachers to help your country. “

Zhang Wei nodded, agreeing with Zheng Daoyou's words.

Zhang Yilu showed a very disappointed look, but he still had to finish what Yuan Shikai had explained, and then said: "Our Emperor His Majesty also explained that I hope your country can help recover the land occupied by Tsarist Russia, and the Outer Xing'an Ridge area, Vladivostok and other places are the inherent territory of our China, the homeland of our ancestors, and the Chinese have lived here for generations; The Hailan Pao tragedy and the Jiangdong 64tun massacre, the blood of our Chinese cannot be shed in vain, we want to take revenge, we want to recover the lost land, let us use killing to comfort those ancestors who hate to recover their homeland and the heroic souls who died in Russia. “

Zhang Yilu said impassionedly, hoping to impress everyone present and help the Chinese Empire regain its lost territory, but let him down, Zhang Wei and others looked at him with a smile, not infected by his emotions at all.

Zheng Daoyou still hurriedly spoke: "Envoy Zhang, your goal is grand and ambitious, we support it very much, but the road has to be walked step by step, and if you want to run before you learn to walk, you will definitely wrestle, and you have to eat the meal one bite at a time, and it is likely that you will choke on it." “

Lu Weimin said: "Do you know how many Russian troops are stationed in the Far East and Siberia? And how many reinforcements are there in Novosibirsk? Let me tell you, these three places have a total of more than 700,000 garrisons, and the Far Eastern Military Region alone has 300,000 garrisons, and they have built a large number of permanent fortifications, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if you don't count the Siberian garrison, it is difficult for the Chinese Empire to defeat the army of the Russian Far Eastern Military Region with all the strength of the whole country. “

Zhang Wei said: "Special Envoy Zhang, what the two of them said is right, you are too impulsive, now the war is fought in the economy, it is a competition of comprehensive national strength, as soon as the cannon sounds, there is no way to fight this war." “

Lu Weimin warned: "At the beginning, I supported you to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, that is, I hope you can think about the Chinese, I hope you can do better, if you continue to look at the masters, the army is reckless, continue those unrealistic ideas, continue to be ambitious, I don't know what to do, I can help you on the horse, but also pull you down, for the Xia Empire, the big deal is to change an agent, if it doesn't work, it is not impossible for the Xia Empire to go out in person, I hope you will do it yourself in the future." “

The meeting ended unhappily, Zhang Yilu left with a very disappointed mood, he came with hope, and left with disappointment; He really couldn't understand why he didn't give a ride to Yuan Shikai, who had always supported Yuan Shikai's strength? The Xia Empire has always spared no effort for the overall cause of the Chinese, so why not help the Chinese Empire regain its lost territory? Isn't this for the sake of the interests of the Chinese people as a whole? How did it become so ambitious and far from realistic?

Of the three things Yuan Shikai confessed, he didn't complete one of them, and he didn't know how to explain them when he went back.

When Zhang Yilu left, Zhang Wei said: "Three things, we won't help any of them, it's a bit unreasonable." “

Zheng Daoyou said angrily: "They don't want to improve people's livelihood, they only think about the help of the empire, the empire's money is not falling from the sky, nor is it blowing in the wind, they just want the empire to help, and they even want to restrict the empire's immigration, it's really unreasonable, Your Majesty is right, if the people of the Chinese Empire live very well, even if they are forced to emigrate, no one is willing to emigrate, they don't look for problems from themselves, and they complain that there are too many immigrants in the empire, which I am very disgusted by." “

Lu Weimin said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shikai's ambition has sounded a wake-up call for us, that is, whether someone is driving a wedge between the Xia Empire and the Chinese Empire; Secondly, I saw a very bad result, that is, the Chinese Empire occupied the Far East in the Trans-Khingan Mountains and Vladivostok and other places, where will the empire go? This was tantamount to cutting off the Empire's necessary passage to attack the Russian Empire from the Far East. When the time comes, if the Chinese Empire does not lend the way to the Empire, what should the Empire do? There is also the possibility that if the Russian Empire returned the Far East to the Chinese Empire, how would the Empire respond? “

Zheng Daoyou was also surprised, and said: "Your Majesty, this situation must be prevented, if the Russian Empire is forced by the military pressure of the empire to return the Far East to the Chinese Empire, then our previous efforts will be in vain." “

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Western countries do not have such clever masters of conspiracy, they can't figure out the relationship between the empire and the Chinese empire at all, even if they want to separate, they will not have such great courage, everyone knows the degree of greed for land in the Russian Empire, and it is impossible to hand over the territory that has been occupied for no reason." “

Lu Weimin suggested: "Your Majesty, if we don't start a war against Russia immediately after fighting Britain and France, I'm worried that the night will be long and dreamy." “

Zhang Wei agreed to this suggestion: "You should first defeat Britain and France perfectly, and then talk about it, and if you have time, arrange for the Operations Section to formulate a battle plan first, and then discuss it later." ”

Before Zhang Yilu left for China, he invited Yuan Keding and Yuan Kewen brothers to have a meal together at the embassy, and the three of them were present.

After listening to Zhang Yilu's complaints, Yuan Kewen said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, you have been dealing with the Xia Empire for so long, and you still don't understand the Xia Empire, the Xia Empire regards the Chinese more important than anything else, and you don't care about the life or death of the Chinese at all, they didn't shoot you It's your luck, if the cadres of the Xia Empire have this kind of thinking, they will be immediately demoted to civilians and will not be hired for life." After you go back, you should have a good understanding of what people-oriented is, and truly implement it, otherwise, the Xia Empire will be farther and farther away from you, not only will they not help you, but it is not difficult for the Xia Empire to change to a regime that can make a difference, they are not joking with you. ”

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Yilu was very puzzled.

Yuan Kewen explained, "Uncle Zhang, the first is that your government is not well managed, it is not people-oriented, and it is 108,000 miles away from the treatment of citizens in the Xia Empire; The second is that it is ambitious and unrealistic, that is, where do you go to recruit students when you establish a university hall? Let's build primary schools, middle schools and other schools first, as well as some technical schools; The third is that the army is reckless, and even the livelihood of the displaced people has not been solved, where is the money to fight? After a war is fought, there are hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and if there is more, it will cost more than a billion taels of silver, does the Chinese Empire have so much money? Besides, with the little strength of the Chinese Empire, it is not enough to even stuff Russia's teeth, even if it regains its territory, the Chinese Empire will not be able to defend it.
