After seeing the letter of state from King Gojong of North Korea to the Japanese, Wang Bin's heart was like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by, although he knew that the current King Gojong of North Korea was just a puppet of the Japanese, but Lin Quanzhu suddenly took out such a tall letter of state or Wang Bin was out of his reach.

After Lin Quanzhu's national letter was taken out, Wang Bin said it despite complaining in his heart.

"Your Excellency, what I need is evidence, evidence that the land on the Tumen line belongs to the Korean Kingdom, but what Your Excellency the Minister has taken out is only a national certificate, which is far from proving that the land on the Tumen line belongs to the Korean Kingdom."

After Wang Bin paused slightly, he said to Lin Quanzhu.

"Your Excellency, in the Ming Dynasty, the land around Tumen was subordinate to the Nuergandusi, Burhatu and other guards, and then until now Tumen is our territory, not the territory of the Korean Kingdom."

In April 1644, the Qing government listed Xingjing, south of Yitong, and north of the Tumen River as forbidden mountain enclosures.

For more than 200 years from the beginning of the Qing Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, Tumen became a sparsely populated desolate area, but it was still the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

After Wang Bin listed a series of evidence, Lin Quanzhu also said unhurriedly.

"Your Excellency Governor, these are just your words, but I know that since the Eastern Han Dynasty of your country, Tumen has been the land of Goguryeo as the Northern Wo Land, and Goguryeo is also the predecessor of the Korean Kingdom, and until the Five Dynasties period of your country, Tumen was the land of the Korean Kingdom, but later it became the land of your country."

Lin Quanzhu's words made Wang Bin feel very painful, to be honest, Wang Bin didn't know that Tumen still had such a history, how long ago was this history, and he was turned out by Lin Quanzhu, whether it was true or not, I don't know if it's true, how can I believe it?

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, what you said is so far that no one can verify whether it is correct or not, so why don't we all let it go and say, what are you trying to do with the land around Tumen? Don't talk to this official about the request of the Korean Kingdom, you and I both know that this is just an excuse! ”

Wang Bin's words were half-true and half-false, and Lin Quanzhu didn't have any confidence in his heart now, and when Lin Quanzhu heard the word excuse, he almost thought that Wang Bin already knew about the empire's intentions, and he was really shocked in his heart.

But then Lin Quanzhu came to his senses again, if this Wang Bin really knew the purpose of the empire, what would he negotiate with himself? I guess I've already imprisoned myself.

I have to say that Lin Quanzhu was frightened by Wang Bin for the second time today, Wang Bin's words always made Lin Quanzhu feel that the empire's plan had been detected by Wang Bin, but after a closer look, Wang Bin did not know the empire's plan, so Lin Quanzhu did not answer Wang Bin's words afterwards, but knocked on the side to make sure that Wang Bin did not know the empire's plan.

If Wang Bin knew what Lin Quanzhu was thinking at the moment, he would definitely feel very interesting, and it was estimated that Lin Quanzhu would be frightened from time to time, so that this old guy's heart capacity would be increased by a few levels.

It's a pity that Wang Bin didn't know Lin Quanzhu's mental activities at the moment, so he said to Lin Quanzhu a little impatiently after just a few casual answers.

"Your Excellency, you haven't answered the official's question yet!"

At this moment, Lin Quanzhu only spoke after confirming that Wang Bin did not know about the empire's plan.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Empire does have some interests in the three eastern provinces, and if the Governor can cooperate with the Empire, then the Empire will definitely repay the Governor in the future."

The words of the diplomat are the most unbelievable, the meaning of today's sentence Wang Bin can be regarded as having really seen what it means to talk nonsense with his eyes open, it seems that he will have to study with Lin Quanzhu in this regard in the future, Wang Bin thought in his heart.

To be honest, if Wang Bin hadn't known that the Japanese had made up their minds to send troops this time, Wang Bin would still be a little tempted by these Japanese proposals, but even if he was tempted, Wang Bin would not agree to the Japanese proposals.

Now that his relationship with Tsarist Russia and the United States is so close, Wang Bin is not too interested in the Japanese proposal, and Wang Bin is not very good about the image of the Japanese, so Wang Bin can only refuse such a proposal.

After Wang Bin rejected Lin Quanzhu's proposal, Lin Quanzhu was not surprised, Lin Quanzhu had long known that Wang Bin had a great deal of money **, and Wang Bin's perception of the empire was not very good, and it was very unrealistic for Wang Bin to seize benefits from his hands out of thin air.

So Lin Quanzhu said after Wang Bin rejected his proposal.

"Your Excellency the Governor, in my opinion, there will be no common ground between us today, and we have different views on the land issue in this area of Tumen, so today's negotiations can only end here, but I suggest that you consider my previous suggestion, which will be of great benefit to both of our countries."

After Lin Quanzhu finished speaking, he expressed his intention to talk to Wang Bin tomorrow, and Wang Bin did not react to Lin Quanzhu's words, but sent Lin Quanzhu to the door of the mansion and told Lin Quanzhu that he hoped to negotiate with Lin Quanzhu again here the next day.

There was no substantive progress on both sides of the negotiation this time, and Wang Bin also knew that it was impossible to make any substantive progress, both sides were just trying to delay time, how could there be progress, even if there was a sudden possibility, both sides would subconsciously pass this possibility.

At this moment, there are many opinions in the outside world about the actions of the Japanese this time, and the most fierce reaction belongs to some Qing intellectuals and some people of insight.

Originally, these people of insight had a good opinion of the Japanese, after all, Japan had fought a war with the Russians in order to "safeguard the interests of the Qing Dynasty", so many people thought that Japan was a country worth believing, but in the blink of an eye, the Japanese invaded the land of the Qing Dynasty, and the image of the Japanese in China suddenly dropped several levels.

Even the revolutionary party, which had always had excellent relations with the Japanese, began to move away from the Japanese as if they were not being co-opted.

In the eyes of Westerners, this Japanese action is very likely to be a prelude to a war, but no one said to stop it, you must know that watching theater has always been a specialty of Westerners. (To be continued.) )
