"Bang!" After a loud bang, there was a loud bang, and the bowl fell to the ground with a thud. Li Yi didn't expect that he had just arrived in Guangzhou and got the news that he couldn't believe.

On June 9, 1885, Li Hongzhang and Badeno signed the Sino-French New Covenant, and the Qing Dynasty recognized Vietnam as a French colony, and the Sino-French War ended.

At the same time, the telegram ordered the old general Feng Zicai, who was stationed in Hanoi, to withdraw immediately and withdraw from the territory of the Nguyen Dynasty. The old general Feng Zicai did not withdraw in violation of the order, and he has also been removed from the position of general by the imperial court.

"What are you doing, you don't eat a good meal, you hit the ground, there's something wrong, right?" A delicate and lovely girl about ten years old reprimanded Li Yilai with her head and face.

"Seeing that you are tall and tall, and you have learned to straighten your head, you really think you are Li Yi, Li Yi is a hero, and people are going to the battlefield to kill red hair, you don't have the ability to go to the battlefield to take the table to be angry."

Li Yi was stunned by the number of pepper-like girls, and he didn't know how to justify it with his big eyes.

"I said you open the door to welcome customers, we spend money to eat, do you treat customers like this?" Duan Haitao on the side stood up dissatisfiedly and said.

"Go to the side, you hairy kid shakes your ass!" The girl crossed her hands on her waist and said menacingly: "It's great to spend money, shouldn't you spend money on eating, do you know how many people outside who can't eat enough, and you can't waste money if you have it!" ”

"I said you're a little pepper, it's over, right, do you know he's Lee?"

"Poof!" Before Duan Haitao finished speaking, he was interrupted contemptuously by the girl: "You want to say that he is Li Yi, don't make fun of your aunt and grandmother here, my aunt and grandmother haven't met a hundred and eighty people who say they are Li Yi when they open this store." If Li Yi really comes, let alone smashing a few tables and bowls, it will smash my "Ben Xuan" hotel, not only will my aunt not say it, but she will also accompany him with a smile, if you like to take your aunt and grandmother away, it will be okay. ”

"Uh" Li Yi was speechless, Duan Haitao didn't know what to say with a flushed face: "I swear, he is"

"Okay, Haitao don't talk about it!" Li Yi interrupted Duan Haitao's words and said, "Girl, you see that I accidentally knocked over the table just now, why don't you clean it up and give us another one." ”

"Seeing that your attitude is not bad, then I will give you another copy, this time you can't smash it for me again, otherwise hum!" The girl's eyes rolled and she threatened with the big white of her eyes.

The girl was very quick, beckoned the guy in, and quickly cleaned up, after they left, Li Yi picked up the newspaper and read it carefully, Li Yi really couldn't believe it, the treaty signed by Li Hongzhang was almost no different from history, to say that it was signed as a last resort in history, but now the situation is much better than before, Hanoi has been taken, why do you want to sign this treaty that has no real benefit to the Qing Dynasty.

In the past, some scholars believed that China did not lose much in this war, or that China did not lose at all, and it can even be said that China won. The reason for saying that China's failure is not great is that although the "Sino-French New Treaty" is not equal, compared with the treaties made in the Second Opium War and the First Sino-Japanese War that followed, China's losses are much smaller, and ending a Sino-foreign conflict with a modest loss is a small diplomatic failure.

In addition, some scholars believe that although France achieved its goal of turning Vietnam into a "protectorate" through this war, it did not receive war reparations or land mortgages from the Qing government. On the other hand, the war caused the international reputation of France, which claimed to be the "second in the world", to plummet, while China's international status and reputation were enhanced. So, this war was a war in which both sides gained and lost: China did not lose, and France did not win.

So now, now Li Hongzhang has to sign this almost identical contract, it is a little thought-provoking, what kind of person is Li Hongzhang, a person who has been praised and criticized by the world? Is it patriotic or traitorous?

Li Yi also understood that although the Qing Dynasty had won a great victory on land, the Fujian Navy Division had been completely wiped out under the bombardment of the French Far East Fleet, and the sea power of the Qing Dynasty had basically been emptied.

Li Yi also knows that the one-sided evaluation of Li Hongzhang is wrong, the angle of looking at the problem will be different depending on the height, the higher he stands, the farther he will see, the more comprehensive he is, Li Hongzhang must not only take the initiative in foreign negotiations, but also conform to Cixi's personal wishes, and this signing may also be a last resort.

Li Yi came to Guangzhou and was recommended by the old general Feng Zicai, and there was some kindness between the general Bao Nian and the old general, so the old general recommended Li Yi to serve in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou is far from Beijing, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang, is also an enlightened minister who actively supports reform, and the biggest point is that Zhang Zhidong is the main battle faction, and in history he is a minister who actively calls for military reform and supports the westernization of the army.

The Battle of Kouzhen was almost completely wiped out, on the one hand, because the French army as a whole was stronger than the Qing army, and on the other hand, the quality of the Qing army's individual soldiers was too poor, Li Yi decided to take a road of elite soldiers, and Guangzhou was far away from the capital, and the political and factional restraints were relatively small, and the space for their own development would be relatively large.

The people, who had just been immersed in the joy of victory, were doused by the signing of the "Sino-French New Covenant" before they had time to celebrate, and the streets were full of protesters, and some radical students were also organized to gather in the crowded places on the streets to give speeches, and they made generous speeches, criticized the weakness and incompetence of the government, and scolded Li Hongzhang for his traitorous behavior.

Looking at the crowd of protesters around him, Li Yi sighed lightly and said to himself: "This senseless protest will only exacerbate the turmoil in the country!" ”

"Captain, I believe in you! Trust you to change all that! Li Yi's self-talk was heard by Duan Haitao, although he didn't know how to save the country, but he trusted and believed that Li Yi next to him would definitely be able to do all this.

Li Yi patted Duan Haitao's shoulder, looked at Duan Haitao with firm eyes, and said: "Saving the country is not just me, it requires me, you, and thousands of Chinese to work hard together!" As long as we have firm beliefs, we will succeed! ”
