Under the leadership of the eunuch, he went to the main hall where the queen mother lived. The decoration of the main hall is resplendent with gold.

Wu Wenbin didn't care about looking at the surrounding scene, and hurriedly followed Yixuan to salute the Queen Mother. Of course, Yi Liang did a kneeling salute, and Wu Wenbin only bowed slightly.

The Queen Mother didn't care about Wu Wenbin's faux pas, besides, now is not the time for the Qing Dynasty to be tough, so she was busy ordering people to give Wu Wenbin a seat and serve tea.

After Wu Wenbin sat down, the Queen Mother spoke first: "I think I've heard what you mean, do you want to occupy the Great Qing Kingdom in this way?" “

Wu Wenbin thought to himself, isn't it that he has nothing to say, if this is the case, there is no need to invite me to come, and hurriedly replied: "Queen Mother, you have misunderstood, if you want to occupy the Great Qing Kingdom, it is enough to send a small half of the troops of the Lanfang Kingdom, there is no need to use these careful thoughts, if your country does not agree with our opinion, it doesn't matter, we don't have any losses." Our king is also Chinese, but he doesn't want to see the people of the Northeast being killed at will by Japan and Russia, so he has this proposal. “

The Queen Mother asked again: "Doesn't your country want to occupy the Great Qing Kingdom by this method?" “

"Queen Mother, the territory of our kingdom is also more than 7 million square kilometers, which is not much smaller than the Great Qing Kingdom, and our population is very small, and the land of the Great Qing Kingdom does not have much temptation for us. How many people will be displaced and their families destroyed? Therefore, our king will not occupy the Great Qing Kingdom by force, unless the Great Qing Kingdom seriously harms the interests of our kingdom. “

The Queen Mother thought, it is because of your small population that you are more likely to occupy the territory of my Great Qing Kingdom, there are so many people in the Great Qing Kingdom, and there is still a shortage of people with the territory? After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "Isn't it your territory to set up this Northern Xinjiang Special Administrative Region in the future?" ”

"The Queen Mother misunderstood, we have to sign an agreement, we will not want an inch of the existing territory, it still belongs to the territory of the Great Qing Kingdom, and when the Great Qing Kingdom feels capable of guarding the frontier, it can take back the management of the frontier special administrative region at any time."

The Queen Mother thinks about it, there is no need for the other party to deceive herself, if you want to occupy the land of the Great Qing Kingdom, you can send an army to occupy it, if you really send an army, you will also occupy the rich land in the south, not these cold frontiers, what are they for? Could it be that there is some ulterior motive here, be careful, you can't follow the path of the Lanfang Kingdom.

These places are now occupied by Japan and Tsarist Russia, if you want to take them back, the difficulty is not ordinary, or you can't get it back, and the Qing Kingdom has no loss, it is the responsibility of the Lanfang Kingdom, if it is really recovered, just the compensation saved is close to 300 million taels of silver, or the Qing Kingdom makes a profit. You know, in these border areas, not to mention taxes, a lot of silver has to be filled in every year, so that you can get rid of this burden.

It's just that such a large territory is occupied by the Lanfang Kingdom, and they have such a strong strength, it is inevitable that they will be suspected of luring wolves into the house.

The Lanfang Kingdom spent so much effort to drive away Japan and Russia, just to those bitter cold places on the frontier, and they couldn't even recover the military expenses, it was impossible to be so stupid, there must be something to hide from the Qing Dynasty, or what was the purpose? So what is the purpose?

The Lanfang Kingdom is so far away, it is inconvenient to attack, they will be prepared to dispatch the army, and the pressure on the logistics is very great, and there will not be many troops, if there is a springboard, it will be much easier to attack the Qing Dynasty, and the border special administrative region is so close to Beijing, it is easy to rush to the city of Beijing, no, the danger is too great. If they agree to the request of the Lan Fang people, then they will always be a knife hanging over the head of the court of the Great Qing Kingdom, which can be cut down at any time, and then they will not be able to live that day, and they can't ask for money or die.

They must have wanted to occupy the northern frontier of the Great Qing Kingdom as a springboard, and then it would be much easier to occupy the Great Qing Kingdom, and they were surrounded and destroyed when the Great Qing Dynasty did not react, and they didn't even have the opportunity to invite foreigners to come forward

These Lanfang people are all Han people, different from those foreign devils, foreign devils can't rule even if they defeat the Qing Dynasty, just for some money, if the Lanfang people come, those mud-legged people still don't fight for the Lanfang Kingdom? In that case, there would be no way for the Qing Dynasty to live, and there would be no place to retreat.

After thinking about it, the Queen Mother said: "It's not that our Great Qing Kingdom doesn't believe that you can defeat Japan and Russia, but that this kind of domestic thinking is a cession of territory, which will inevitably cause public anger and be easily used by people who don't know the truth. ”

"Then what does the Queen Mother think should be done?"

"If we can defeat Japan and Russia, how about our Great Qing Kingdom provide military expenses and casualty compensation?"

Wu Wenbin lowered his head in contemplation and did not speak.

Seeing that Wu Wenbin didn't speak, the Queen Mother knew that they would not agree, so she continued: "All the assets of Japan and Russia will be sold, and the money will be divided equally between our two families, how about it?" ”

"Queen Mother, this is not good, those Japanese and Russian assets are our trophies."

"Even if it is your loot, without the help of the Great Qing Kingdom, it will be difficult for you to seize all of them, and it will be difficult to realize them."

Wu Wenbin continued to ask: "Queen Mother, do you have any other requirements?" “

"Not for the time being, I'll talk about it when I think about it, this is not in a hurry. Lord Wang, this matter is still up to you to talk about slowly and add it up slowly. “

Yixuan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Yes, Lafayette, the minister must take care of it." “

Afterwards, Wu Wenbin sent a telegram to report to Zhang Wei, after Zhang Wei received the telegram, he felt that this Wu Wenbin's ability to do things had improved a lot, that is, the Qing Kingdom did not produce anything, and he would also fight Japan. He called back and agreed that he would continue to negotiate, that the Qing Kingdom must be bleeding, and that he should pay attention to secrecy.

After a few days of negotiations, Yixuan and Wu Wenbin mainly involved money and future border guards.

In terms of money, the share of compensation in the "Xincho Treaty" between Japan and Russia was received by the Lanfang Kingdom as a military expense and pension, and all the assets of Japan and Russia were divided equally between the two after the auction; The Great Qing Kingdom did not spend anything else.

For the construction of troops guarding the frontier, the Great Qing Kingdom will hire military instructors from the Lanfang Kingdom to help train the Beiyang New Army; All the weapons are purchased from the products of the Lanfang Kingdom; When the Qing Dynasty invaded by foreign enemies, the army of the Lanfang Kingdom could be hired to fight.

Yi Liang went to the Summer Palace at any time to report to Lafayette, Lafayette grasped the content of the negotiation at any time, and did not deliberately harm the interests of the Qing Dynasty for all the terms, and this will benefit the Qing Dynasty a lot, and the happy Lafayette praised Yi Liang for doing things properly.

Due to the limitations of the times, people in this era have a certain concept of territory, but it is not as strong as that of later generations, and no one dares to do anything to cede territory, mainly because they are afraid of being charged.

Wu Wenbin also reported on the progress of the negotiations at any time, and Zhang Wei was very satisfied with the results, which were purely accidental.

Zhang Wei asked Xiao Yu'er: "Isn't this an enemy of the mainland government?" ”

Xiao Yu'er replied: "This is agreed by the mainland government, and it is not considered an enemy of the government." ”

So he telegraphed Wu Wenbin that he could sign an agreement, but he must pay attention to confidentiality.
