【156】Wind Blowing Red Flag Earth Flip (12)

Yao Fan held Huang Jinying's hand to himself, but he didn't notice Huang Jinying's trembling, she was still a golden warbler after all, not a fictional Huang Jinying, when Yao Fan's hot and dry big hand held her hand, it seemed that a pure flame spread over and was scorching her body.

Huang Jinying quickly pulled his hand out of Yao Fan's hands, and said with a heaving chest: "I am willing to participate in Chairman Yao's training class, I am willing." ”

Yao Fan now thinks that this shy pseudo-girl is a little cute, and he said heartily: "Then stay, free of board and lodging." ”

The golden warbler's self-assertion startled Huang Jinshan, and now he heard Yao Fan say this, and was about to find an excuse to oppose it, but the golden warbler nodded again: "I want to live alone, my family has a house in Jimo, I live in my own house, and I come over during the day when I go to class." ”

"No problem, I believe that after the ideological education of the training class, once you accept the correct outlook on life, values, and worldview, you will give up your young lady's temper and enthusiastically integrate into the working people." Yao Fan said to the golden warbler.

After arranging the golden warbler, the golden mountain left helplessly.

The Golden Mountain had just left, but the next day, Merris came.

"Oh! My dear Jade, when you're away, I'm surrounded by one less person to share my joy with. Yao Fan exaggerated his feelings.

"Frank! Frank! Good news! Good news! The German Minister Mr. Barand is coming to Qingdao! Merris burst into Yao Fan's office like a happy stag and couldn't wait to report his diplomatic achievements to Yao Fan.

"Calm down, James, calm down." Yao Fan smiled: "Before you tell me about your trip to Beijing, I want to share the joy of my victory with you. ”

Then Yao Fan sued Meris for his series of great victories.

"Great, Frank, great, you gave that barbarian emperor a taste of civilization." Merris was surprised and delighted when he heard the news.

Yao Fan smiled and said: "James, now it's your turn, tell me, Mr. Barland, the German Minister to China, what does he want to do in Qingdao?" Of course I'd welcome him, but I just wanted to be prepared in advance. ”

"As soon as I arrived in Peking, I went to Mr. Barland, and he was very interested in your plans, and when he heard that you knew German, I assure you that his eyes were bright.

Because of the war in Tsingtao, I came on an American cargo ship, and Minister Barland was a little late, but I estimate that he will be in Tsingtao within two weeks.

Frank, don't overcomplicate politics, politics and diplomacy are no different from doing business. He's here to talk to you about business, you're a shrewd businessman, and you know how to deal with someone like him. ”

"I just hope that Mr. Barronland's expectations are not too high, and I can't meet his demands other than those I promised." Yao Fan said lightly.

"Frank, you have achieved such a brilliant victory, I think the news will soon reach Beijing, and the emperor of the Qing State will definitely impose a trade embargo on you."

"Yes, but I need the help of my allies rather than the handouts of the overlord, otherwise I don't see any need for a revolution."

As Meris said, the news of Yao Fan's victory has reached Beijing, and the world is in an uproar!

As an English-language newspaper founded as early as 185o, Zilin Xibao reported without scruples: "According to the latest news of this newspaper, Yao Zaofan, a maritime merchant in Jiaozhou, privately organized a mercenary army to fight fiercely with the government troops who rushed to quell the rebellion on the Jiaozhou Peninsula, and the government troops suffered heavy casualties and were completely annihilated......

According to insiders, Yao Zaofan's armed rebellion stemmed from the latest insatiable blackmail ...... by the local government."

Although the "Declaration" was a newspaper that had not been published long after it was founded in 1872, it was not taboo to rely on its British businessman's background #Jing, and even openly reported in Chinese: "According to reliable information, the rebellion in Jiaozhou is spreading on the Shandong Peninsula...... As the leader of this rebellion, Yao Zaofan, the owner and merchant of Yuchun Firm, achieved his first large-scale victory after the rebellion...... According to informed sources, Yao Zaofan and Shandong Governor Ding Baozhen had a close relationship in the past, and according to this newspaper's speculation, his blatant rebellion is very likely to be related to Ding Baozhen's dissatisfaction with setting up foreign affairs without authorization......

(Classical Chinese is exempt, the author translates it into the vernacular)

As a weekly magazine for missionaries in China, the "Universal Gazette" has always been rigid in politics, and only copied the imperial court's official newspaper: "The overseas Chinese businessman Yao Zaofan had wolf ambitions, and instead of serving the imperial court, he colluded with local corrupt officials to plot a rebellion, and has recently clashed head-on with the imperial army, and has retreated to Jimo after being defeated by the army of the Celestial Empire, and has resisted stubbornly in the land of the projectiles, and the fall is just around the corner......

For this rebellion, the only three newspapers in China at this time did not spend much pen and ink, and only used pages the size of dried tofu as current affairs to report, but a German business newspaper in the Shanghai Concession called "Xinmin Evening News" devoted a full page to the headline: "...... There is no doubt that this was a revolutionary movement led by the new bourgeoisie in which the peasants and craftsmen participated, and the contradictions between the new bourgeoisie and the aristocratic landlords had openly intensified, leading to an armed uprising in search of democracy and freedom...... The rebels demanded the liberation of the Qing people in accordance with the spirit of the Declaration of the Rights of Man of the French Revolution, and demanded that the emperor abdicate and form a parliament and a cabinet......"

"Xinmin Evening News" is indeed run by the United States, but all the Germans he hires are Germans, according to the instructions of the United States, the "Xinmin Evening News" is naturally biased towards Yao Fan, but there is a deviation in understanding, and Yao Fan is said to be a mixture of Napoleon and Voltaire.

The cold wind is howling in the city of Beijing, which has just entered December, and the temperature at night is already below zero.

The stove has been lit in the Heart Cultivation Palace, roasting warmly, the room temperature is like spring, and a few pots of orchid grass are just adjusting the air humidity, which makes people not feel too dry.

Cixi grimaced, and asked Li Hongzhang, who was standing below, "This is the thing you said before about foreign affairs?" ”

Li Hongzhang's face was pale, his eyes were black, and he obviously hadn't slept well recently.

"Empress Dowager Qi, Yao Fan disregarded the grace of the imperial court, deceived the officials of Shandong Zhili, and privately conspired to rebel, and should be punished."

Cixi said without yin or yang: "It's a pity that the good soldiers trained by Ding Baozhen, all twelve battalions were lost, and the five Mongolian cavalry battalions of the Qingzhou garrison battalion were also taken, as for Chen Huilong's Dengzhou green battalion, I didn't count on it." ”

Li Hongzhang frowned and said: "Queen Mother, I will rectify the various armies of Zhili and prepare to fight the bandits in Jiaozhou, but it is ...... now."
