"Hunan, you have to hurry up and see what the situation is over there?" Liu Jun said after looking at Zhong Lin. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Knowing the head, I have already given an order to Hunan, let them put down everything in their hands and find out the problems in Hunan first." Zhong Lin nodded, then turned around and walked out.

When Zhong Lin walked out, Liu Jun looked at Li Hongzhang in front of him and said again: "Tomorrow's negotiation will be handed over to you." ”

Li Hongzhang also knew that this negotiation was just a cover, nodded slightly, Li Hongzhang smiled: "Don't worry, no one can compare with me in terms of procrastination." ”

Liu Jun agreed, in the imperial court back then, Li Hongzhang was famous for his ability to delay negotiations. He can divide the things of a day into several days, so Liu Jun still believes in Li Hongzhang's words.

On March 22, 1905, on the third floor of the Zuixian Building in Baoji, in the private room near the road, early in the morning, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army wearing green military uniforms had already cleaned up the Zuixian Building, and the third floor of the Zuixian Building also began to stop receiving guests, but as a place for negotiations between the imperial court and Liaodong, to discuss the peace negotiations.

At around nine o'clock, Li Hongzhang, Li Jingfang and Wu Tingfang, as the negotiators of Liaodong, went to the third floor of the Zuixian Building under the protection of the guards.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Hongzhang saw that the layout here was just right, the table in the middle was covered with a white cloth on several dining tables, and on the table, a teacup was placed in front of each chair, which was considered to be for everyone to drink tea when they were tired of talking.

"It seems that the boss here is very attentive." After finishing speaking to Li Jingfang beside him, Li Hongzhang sat down and began to wait for the arrival of the imperial court.

About ten minutes later, representatives of the imperial court began to appear, and of course, Zaitao, as the main negotiator, sat directly in front of Li Hongzhang.

When Zaitao sat down, Li Hongzhang directly handed a document in his hand to Zaitao and said, "Look at it, this is my request from Liaodong." ”

It's so direct, hearing Li Hongzhang say this, Zaitao, as the Minister of Negotiation, opened the first article, and was immediately frightened, and the first one above was the abdication of the imperial court. And in the future, self-reliance.

How is this possible, if the first one is promised by himself, I am afraid that when the time comes, when he returns to Chengdu, Cixi will kill herself as soon as possible, and then take the bones to feed the dogs.

Second, Zaitao, who will not look at it anymore, looked at it directly, and the imperial army was revoked and incorporated into the Liaodong Army.

One is more vicious than the other, and Zaitao, who saw this document, wiped the sweat on his face and handed the document to Zhang Zhidong and Songpan beside him.

Hmph, I know that you will not agree, I looked at Zhang Zhidong and Zaitao who were watching the document in front of him, Li Hongzhang snorted coldly, this document was originally a negotiation document from Liaodong to the imperial court, but in a few aspects, Li Hongzhang made certain modifications.

That is, in the first article, after the abdication of the imperial court, within five years, Liaodong will allocate four million silver per year as living expenses, and after five years, Liaodong will be reduced by 500,000, and finally completely let the imperial family of the imperial court be self-reliant.

On this article, Li Hongzhang revised the money inside and outside the five years, the purpose of which was to make the lion open his mouth and get benefits from the imperial court.

"Well, what do you mean?" I saw that the other party put down the paper. Li Hongzhang raised his head and asked Zhang Zhidong and Zaitao in front of him.

This document is too deceitful, Zhang Zhidong, who looked at the document, took a deep breath, and then picked up the document that the court meant and handed it to Li Hongzhang.

The first one is the territorial issue, that is, the imperial court administers the southwest, and from then on the southwest is the boundary. Everyone goes their own way.

Li Hongzhang didn't have any rebuttal to such a document, and after smiling slightly, Li Hongzhang stretched his neck and looked at Zhang Zhidong in front of him: "Do you think it's possible?" ”

Baoji, in the headquarters, from the beginning of the negotiations, Liu Jun, who was wearing a military uniform, kept walking back and forth in the room.

"What are you walking around here, you?" Seeing where Liu Jun was walking around like a fly, Zheng Yiqian asked suspiciously,

This, hearing Zheng Yiqian's question, Liu Jun stopped and looked at Zheng Yiqian in front of him. "I'm thinking about the problem in Hunan."

What problems can arise in Hunan, now in Fujian, in the south of Hunan, there is a corps of troops, in the east of him, in the northwest of Jiangxi, there is also a corps, Zheng Yiqian does not believe in his heart, this huge force, he can still go to heaven in a small Hunan.

"Don't worry about those useless ones, now Zhong Lin's intelligence bureau is not investigating, you should be like this, and the future strategy against the imperial court will be over."

What is the need for the imperial court, Liu Jun, who heard this, thought for a while and looked at Zheng Yiqian in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"If our negotiations with the imperial court break down, what will we do next, do you really think about this?" Seeing that Liu Jun didn't understand, Zheng Yiqian took a step forward and said.

Hearing this, Liu Jun suddenly understood, indeed, if the negotiation breaks down, what should he do when the time comes, it is really a big problem.

"Take it one step at a time, I hope that the imperial court can accept our request and solve the problem peacefully, of course, if the imperial court is always unwilling, I can't wait like this forever, I don't have so much time to wait.

"Don't worry, I know what to do?" Liu Jun, who lowered his head and thought for a while, said softly.

Drunken Immortal Building, after a day of negotiations, neither side will give an inch of land, and the day's negotiations are over.

On the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Building, after returning from the negotiation place, Zaitao came to Zhang Zhidong's room and asked Zhang Zhidong what to do.

Zhang Zhidong is now beginning to be confused in his heart, the meaning of the imperial court and the meaning of Liaodong are not at the same level at all, from today's discussion, at least Liaodong has given itself a signal, that is, the matter of using the southwest as the boundary is not possible at all. As for the issue of the imperial throne, this estimate will be difficult.

"Lord, I think it's better for us to convey Liaodong's meaning to the imperial court. Zhang Zhidong, who lowered his head and thought about it for a while, took a deep breath and said to Zaitao Hou in front of him.

It seems that this can only be the case, whether the court agrees or not, it must send the negotiation and the meaning of Liaodong to Chengdu, and then get the news from Chengdu, so that he can have enough time to meet the next negotiation with Liaodong. Zaitao, who thought of this, nodded, and then retreated, and he informed the imperial court and Cixi of the situation here at the first time. )
