Chapter 206: Formal Meeting
"Three days later, negotiate in Jiaoao? What the hell is this Ren Chao doing? After Mutsu Zongguang got the news, he felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, this Ren Chao won't be playing with me again! Why go all the way to Jiaoao to negotiate!
"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary! Although I don't know what the hell Ren Chao is doing, it is always good that Ren Chao can agree to negotiate. One of the entourages couldn't help but speak.
"I'm afraid that this Ren Chao has no intention of negotiating with us at all, and is trying to tease us." Mutsu said with a frown.
"Your Excellency, since this Ren Chao has already agreed, he can't go back!" The entourage whispered.
"If it were someone else, he would naturally not regret it, but this Ren Chao is not easy to say." Mutsu Munemitsu couldn't help but have deep doubts about Ren Chao's character.
"But if we don't go, wouldn't this Ren Chao have more excuses to refuse to negotiate with us?" Another member of the entourage cautiously voiced his opinion.
"Not bad! There must be no excuses left for this Ren Chao. Mutsu Zongguang thought for a while and nodded and said, "Immediately inform the Prime Minister Yamen of the Qing State and the ministers of various countries in the Qing Dynasty of this news, we have made this matter known to the world, does he dare to regret it, even if he Ren Chao does not want to lose face, the Great Qing Kingdom always wants to save face!" ”
"Your Excellency is wise!" Several members of the entourage couldn't help but pat their ass.
The corners of Mutsu Zongguang's mouth showed a sneer, as long as Ren Chao agreed to negotiate, Muzu Zongguang was not afraid, a hairy boy, but he was a little more powerful in the war, Muzu Zongguang had not put Ren Chao in his eyes, on the battlefield without gunpowder at the negotiation table, Mutsu Zongguang did not think that Ren Chao would be his opponent, if the Qing government sent Li Hongzhang to be in charge of the negotiations, then Muzu Zongguang would indeed be cautious, but the Qing government stupidly sent Ren Chao to negotiate, if even such a hairy boy can't be cleaned up. Then he doesn't have to mix it up.
"After spreading the news, I immediately set off for Jiaoao." Mutsu Munemitsu commanded proudly.
"Hay!"
At that moment, Mitsu Ao Zongguang and others hurriedly packed their bags, and then rushed to Jiaoao in a hurry. Although the little devil's movements are not unpleasant, he is still one step later than Ren Chao.
Ren Chao explained the matter that day, and then led a team of cavalry to rush to Jiaoao, Ren Chao was the first time to ride such a long distance, all the way, his body was about to be scattered. I remember seeing people on TV riding horses in later generations, and it was extremely interesting to watch, but if you experience it yourself, you will know that this is really not a good thing. "Build the railway. You must do your best to build the railway, otherwise you will be too guilty to ride horses all day! Ren Chao couldn't help but make up his mind in his heart.
"My lord, those Japanese have already arrived in Jiaoao, do you really want to negotiate with them tomorrow?" Niu Kaixuan asked tentatively.
"Of course, Lao Tzu's words always count, since he said that he wanted to talk to them, then talk to them." Ren Chao said casually.
Niu Kaixuan's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of disappointment, "I thought that adults were going to take the opportunity to tease those little devils again!" ”
"Hey, hey! Lao Tzu has his own way to rectify those little devils, you just wait and see! Ren Chao said with a smile.
"My lord, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Niu Kaixuan said cautiously.
"If you have something to say, just say it. What a rambling thing. Ren Chao said impatiently.
"When you laugh, really, what do you say? To use one word you often say, it's very obscene! Niu Kaixuan said as he took a few steps back and opened a safe distance from Ren Chao.
"Then tell me how obscene it is?" Ren Chao was not angry. Instead, he asked with interest.
"Well~! It's not easy to describe, in short, it's quite obscene! Niu Kaixuan saw that Ren Chao was not angry, and couldn't help but feel a little bolder.
"Obscene your sister! Dare to say that Lao Tzu is obscene! Believe it or not, I'll cut you to death! Ren Chao suddenly burst into trouble and rushed up to the cow is triumphant kick. Looking at Niu Kaixuan who fled in the wilderness, Ren Chao couldn't help but touch his face. "Where is Lao Tzu obscene, Lao Tzu is handsome and chic, where is he obscene? If you haven't learned the language well, don't use words indiscriminately! It's terrible to be uneducated! Ren Chao shook his head, turned around and walked towards his room.
Early the next morning. Mutsu Ao Zongguang, who was like a dog in a suit and leather shoes, came to the Yamen of the General Soldier of Jiaoao Town. Before entering the door, the soldiers of the Tiger Army guarding the door searched the bodies of Mutsu Munemitsu and others very rudely. For Mutsu Munemitsu, this is simply a great shame, but in order to be able to fulfill the emperor's trust, Mutsu Munemitsu can only endure this evil breath.
Led by a tiger army, Mutsu Munemitsu and four members of his entourage came to the living room of the chief soldier's yamen. To Mutsu Somitsu's disappointment, he didn't see Ren Chao himself here. The Tiger Ben soldiers who led them in left only one sentence, "Wait here!" Our commander Ren will be here soon. Then he turned and left.
The title of Dashuai did not appear in the Republic of China period, but had this title long ago in the Qing Dynasty. Some local governors will be honored by their subordinates as the commander or the commander because they hold military and political power. For example, the title of Taiwanese governor Liu Mingchuan is a first-class male, and after serving as the governor of Taiwan, he is respectfully called a marshal by his subordinates. Ren Chao is a first-class marquis, more than a grade higher than Liu Mingchuan, and titles like marshal and marshal are naturally applicable, but these soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army generally call Ren Chao a marshal now.
Mutsu Munemitsu and the others were thrown in the living room, ignored for an hour, and didn't even drink tea. Just when the last trace of patience of Mutsu Zongguang was about to be smoothed out, Ren Chao finally appeared.
Ren Chao walked into the living room quickly with two personal guards, and when Mutsu Somitsu saw that the main master had finally appeared, he couldn't wait to rush up, bowed very politely and said, "The contemptible foreign minister of the Japanese Empire, Mutsu Somitsu, has seen the Marquis Ren of the Great Qing Kingdom!" ”
Ren Chao didn't even look at Mutsu Zongguang directly, and walked directly to the main seat and sat down. At this time, several subordinates finally served cups of hot tea, put them down for Ren Chao and Muzu Zongguang and others, and then respectfully withdrew.
Ren Chao took a sip of the teacup, raised his head and said to Mutsu Somitsu, "You are Mutsu Somitsu?" ”
"Contemptible exactly!" Mutsu Somitsu held back a wave of anger in his heart and gritted his teeth and said. I secretly said in my heart and made you proud for a while, and when it was time for the formal negotiation, I would let you know that I was good. (To be continued......)
