Wang Sirui's attitude shocked Sa Daoyi and others, and this was not an attitude of negotiation at all.

And Wang Sirui also inherited the straight character that a soldier should have who is unwilling to suffer, but when Wang Sirui used this trick on them, it made Sa Daoyi feel very uncomfortable.

On the other hand, Li Hongzhang and Yixuan here, after hearing Wang Sirui's words, the faces of the two of them looked a little better, no matter what, Wang Sirui's words were very relieving, and they did not insult the majesty of the imperial court.

It's just that the matter of making a false claim still makes Yixuan and Li Hongzhang angry.

800 million taels of silver, all the land before this must be returned to the Qing State, and those compensation must be returned with interest, this kind of condition is really a slap in the face of the powers, even if they will not agree in the end, but if people spread the content of today's conversation, will the faces of the powers be preserved at that time?

"Commander Wang, this is not your attitude of negotiation at all, if you insist on such conditions, then we are sorry, we will not be able to continue negotiations, but in order to ensure our due rights, we can only order the troops stationed in Tianjin to launch another offensive." Sadao threatened.

You Wang Sirui have a lot of troops, but no matter how many troops you have, can you block the attack of tens of thousands of our troops?

Before, it was just a loophole for you, and when the time comes, the Japanese will increase the strength of a division and the Russians will also reinforce a division, I will see how you Wang Sirui will fight.

"Then you have to make sure that your orders can reach Tianjin." Wang Sirui said with a rogue face.

"You...... You have no right to detain us! Sa Daoyi roared a little angrily, he didn't expect that Wang Sirui would be rampant to such a point.

And now Sa Daoyi is gradually beginning to regret it, why do you have to target Wang Sirui? Instead of this, it is better to talk to Li Hongzhang and them, at least they can get certain benefits.

"To correct me, the failure of the negotiations means that the war continues, and if the war continues, you and I will be hostile, I would like to ask, who has stipulated that I have no right to annihilate the enemy during the war period?" Wang Sirui still said with a rogue look.

Anyway, Wang Sirui's core idea is one, since you want to play a scoundrel, then let's compare to see who is more scoundrel, anyway, the longer the time is elapsed, the more beneficial it is for Wang Sirui.

"Your Excellency, is this your attitude in the Qing Dynasty?" Seeing that Wang Sirui was about to carry out the scoundrel to the end, Sa Daoyi turned to look at Li Hongzhang and asked with a threatening attitude.

"Not before, but now." Li Hongzhang smiled and replied.

Although Wang Sirui's request is very excessive, even the Arabian Nights is not too much. But who made the foreigners deflated? Killing the prestige of foreigners now is still very useful for the next negotiations.

However, the foreigner must also pay a sufficient price for the pit he dug himself, otherwise, there will be countless similar situations in the subsequent negotiations.

In the past, the Qing court was the vanquished, so it was on the weak side from the beginning, but now it is different, although it is not a war, but at least it can be regarded as a draw with the foreigners, which makes Li Hongzhang more or less confident.

"Humph!" Sa Daoyi was angry and stood up directly, and then said: "Today's negotiation will be over, and we will talk tomorrow." ”

"I won't talk about it tomorrow, I'll talk about it the day after tomorrow." Yixuan was buried in his heart for a while, this is Lao Tzu's home field, okay? You can talk when you want? Do you really think this is your home? Want to talk about it tomorrow? Lao Tzu just doesn't let you get your wish, talk about it the day after tomorrow, talk about it the day after tomorrow.

Sa Daoyi turned his head and glanced at Yixuan, secretly a little ruthless in his heart, but he didn't answer Yixuan, but instead led a group of foreigners to leave the Ministry of Rites directly, and returned to the inn with a disgraced face under the protection of the escort team of more than 100 people.

On the other hand, Yixuan is like winning a battle, and the smile on his face is constant.

When we were negotiating with foreigners, when did we raise our eyebrows like today? Even once?

Today I finally experienced the feeling of a winner, not to mention, this feeling is really refreshing.

On the one hand, he was sighing that the feeling of the victor was really refreshing, and on the other hand, Yixuan began to secretly think about how to assign Wang Sirui's new army to his subordinates.

At that time, if it was his army that defeated the foreigners, then it would probably be even more pleasant to negotiate with the foreigners again.

When the time comes, he can also be like Wang Sirui, who is very pretending to be X, if he likes to talk about it, if he doesn't talk about it, he will play something like X.

Zhang Fuhua's face was helpless, today's negotiations, on the whole, they had an advantage, although nothing was negotiated, but they won in terms of momentum.

But as the victorious side, Zhang Fuhua was the one who lost, because in today's negotiation field, he said the most, but he also played the smallest role, which was a waste of saliva.

But Li Hongzhang has a deep face at the moment, he is much more experienced than Yixuan and Zhang Fuhua.

Regarding the victory of today's confrontation, Li Hongzhang not only did not have the slightest joy, but had a little more worry.

Li Hongzhang cherishes talents, this is true, but the premise is that the stability of the imperial court must be guaranteed, and he does not want anyone to overthrow the imperial court, which will inevitably make the land of China fall into war again.

Now that China is lagging behind the Western countries in all aspects, if it can't seize the time to catch up with them, but instead spend time on civil war, then China will have no possibility of re-emerging in the next few decades.

And Wang Sirui's performance today, although it is the most dazzling one in the negotiation field, and it is also the one who brought back this victory, but there is no doubt that in Li Hongzhang's view, today's Wang Sirui is a little sharp.

The ability he has shown seems to have gone beyond the scope of Li Hongzhang's permission.

If Li Hongzhang is not much older than Wang Sirui, then Li Hongzhang may still be able to promote Wang Sirui, because as long as it is operated properly, Li Hongzhang is confident that he can suppress Wang Sirui.

It's just that now, Li Hongzhang also knows that his time is running out, and there is not much time left for him to change Wang Sirui's thinking.

In short, Wang Sirui's existence made Li Hongzhang feel that he would have an impact on the Qing court sooner or later, and it was the kind of influence that turned the world upside down.

This is an intuition, an intuition without any real evidence, but Li Hongzhang trusts his instincts very much.

The first informal meeting lasted less than half an hour, and the two sides broke up unhappily.

After the end, Li Hongzhang did not return to the barracks with Wang Sirui, but followed Yixuan to Qingwangfu. The two men rode in the same carriage along the way, and no one was allowed to approach.

Although Li Hongzhang and Yixuan did this matter very hidden, they did not escape Wang Sirui's eyes.

If it is said that Wang Sirui can't take care of other places, it is still possible, but the negotiators of the two parties, Wang Sirui has made great efforts, and now he has done it by everyone's side, there is a person who is secretly monitoring, although I don't know what they said, but what they did and who they met, they would be teleported to Wang Sirui that night.

In the afternoon, Wang Sirui inspected the new barracks, watched the progress of the training of the new barracks, and put forward a number of opinions.

Until the evening, when the moon rose, Li Hongzhang still had not returned to the camp.

In this regard, Wang Sirui did not feel surprised, anyway, he didn't care about the negotiation at all, anyway, what he said didn't count, Wang Sirui still focused on the training of the troops.

Even the hidden troops did not forget about training.

They are now at sunrise and daylight, and after the curfew every day, they quietly leave their shelter and go to the south side of the outer city, that is, near the Temple of Heaven for training, where the venue is larger and there are fewer people, and it has been divided into a military restricted area, prohibiting anyone from entering, so training there at night is still not a big problem.

However, after all, the capital is a place with a lot of personal chaos, and in the long run, the possibility of leakage is also relatively large.

So Wang Sirui has contacted Wang Shuqi and asked him to build a military camp outside the city, so that these troops hidden in the capital can go out of the city for training, anyway, the capital is still under their control, when do the troops want to go out of the city, it is not a random thing?

The next morning, Li Hongzhang still did not return, and it was not until after dark that Li Hongzhang's frame returned to the barracks.

The first thing he did after returning to the barracks was to let Wang Sirui know that he did not have to participate in the next negotiations.

For this decision, Wang Sirui can't clapp, he just doesn't want to participate in that kind of boring negotiation, but he didn't expect that Li Hongzhang sent a pillow over just after falling asleep, how could he not like it?

On the third day, Li Hongzhang left the barracks early in the morning and continued to go to the Ministry of Rites for negotiations.

As a result, Li Hongzhang and Yixuan and his entourage waited for most of the day and did not see any foreigners appear, and only learned the news after sending someone over that some of the representatives of the 11 countries were sick and unwell, and they could not negotiate today.

When he learned the news, he scolded even more angrily, and now everyone knows very well that the foreigners are taking revenge on them.

But even if you do, what? Could it be that they could be forcibly brought in for negotiation?

On the fourth day, the foreigners refused the negotiation in the same way, and in desperation, Li Hongzhang and Yixuan had no choice but to continue the discussion.

A week passed, and the foreigner finally appeared at the Ministry of Rites on the eighth day.

And this time, Wang Sirui was the only one missing from the Qing court, and then there was Yixuan's attitude much better than before.

The day's negotiations continued into the afternoon, when the two sides broke up again, but unlike the first day of talks, there was some progress in the negotiations on this day, albeit only slightly, but there was progress.

The difference is that on this day of negotiations, the foreigners have begun to reverse the situation, and during the negotiations, they have repeatedly won people, like a winner.

Although Li Hongzhang and Yixuan were very angry, they could only endure it temporarily because the Queen Mother was anxious to return to Beijing as soon as possible, as long as the foreigners' demands were not excessive, they could talk about it.

As for Wang Sirui, he was not idle, in addition to confirming the map of the capital to every street, he also almost controlled the distribution of forces in the entire capital.

This will undoubtedly be a huge boost to Wang Sirui's future. (To be continued.) )
