Chapter 215: Extreme Arrogance

After coming out of the shooting range, under the leadership of Zhu Song, Ren Chao and others successively visited the bullet production workshop, the explosives production workshop, the grenade production workshop, the rifle production workshop, the heavy machine gun production workshop, and the artillery production workshop under construction. So far, the arsenal is mainly engaged in the production and development of some light weapons, and the construction of heavy weapons is still basically in progress. After visiting all the way, Ren Chao expressed great satisfaction with the current situation of the arsenal.

"You've done a good job during this time, and you've worked hard. But you can't be proud, with the current production capacity of the arsenal, even our Tiger Army itself cannot be satisfied. So we still have a long way to go, we must speed up the speed of production and construction, and constantly expand production, our goal is now to surpass the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, become the largest arsenal in the country. In the future, we will strive to become the largest arsenal in the world, so you will have to work harder in the future. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me directly, and if I am not in Jiaoao, you can send me a telegram directly. No matter how difficult it is, I will try my best to help you solve it. Ren Chao said to the main person in charge of the arsenal before leaving.

"Please rest assured, we will definitely redouble our efforts and will definitely not disappoint the trust of Dashuai." Zhu Song patted his chest and reassured.

"With your words, I'm relieved!" Ren Chao smiled and patted Zhu Song's shoulder and said, "Okay, you don't have to send it, why should you go!" At this time, everyone had already sent Ren Chao out of the gate, and some guards had already led Ren Chao's horse over.

Ren Chao turned over on his horse, waved his hand at everyone, and whipped away. After staying in the arsenal for most of the day, it was late at this time, and Ren Chao did not go anywhere else and returned directly to the chief soldier yamen, during this time in Jiaoao, Ren Chao has been living in the chief soldier yamen. After a busy day, Ren Chao was also a little tired, after dinner. After drinking a cup of tea, I went to bed early.

If you want to say that in this era, there are really not many entertainment projects at night, and the Qinglou is a good place to go. But Ren Chao didn't have the slightest interest in those public toilets, so naturally he wouldn't go.

Today, Ren Chaoren directly put Mutsu Munemitsu on a cruise ship bound for Japan and forcibly deported him. After that, the Tiger Army raided the residence of Mutsu Zongguang, and Ren Chao also got a little unexpected gain, this Mutsu Zongguang did not come empty-handed, with a large amount of silver tickets and some treasures in his hand, which was originally intended to be used for bribery, but this time it was all cheap Ren Chao. For taking something Japanese. Ren Chao didn't have the slightest weakness in his heart, in Ren Chao's opinion, even if he looted all the wealth in Japan now, it would not be enough to compensate for the losses brought to Huaxia by these dogs, and this money was not even interest.

Although Ren Chao went directly to the arsenal this afternoon and delayed for half a day, Ren Chao had already ordered someone to report the incident in Jiaoao to the imperial court and Li Hongzhang in Tianjin. In the telegram, Ren Chao said that Japan had no sincerity in peace talks at all, and that it was extremely arrogant to even demand compensation from the Qing Dynasty at this point. And Namitsu Munemitsu is even more rude and shameless. He has repeatedly made sarcastic remarks about my Celestial Empire, and even insinuated that the Holy One is a mediocre and incompetent king. Is it tolerable or intolerable? If it weren't for the international public opinion and the majesty of the imperial court, Wechen would have broken the corpses of such arrogant people into thousands of pieces. Forced to expel him from the country and order Japan to send another envoy for negotiations.

Li Hongzhang naturally didn't believe Ren Chao's nonsense, he had his own channels to investigate the truth of the matter. But when the negotiations were first made, there were no other than the Japanese. Only some of the generals of the Tiger Ben Army were present. Therefore, Li Hongzhang spent a long time trying to find out what happened during the negotiations that day. can only rely on the previous Michinoku Zongguang's expression, guessing that this Ren Chao is probably lying. But among these lies, there are some truths and some falsehoods, and Li Hongzhang is not too clear.

Li Hongzhang couldn't help but regret a little, he should have strongly opposed the negotiation by Ren Chao in person, but now it is too late to regret it. But at this point, it's useless to talk about it. Moreover, the current shape is that the Qing Dynasty has taken the initiative, even if Ren Chao drives away Mutsu Munemitsu, Japan will definitely send envoys to negotiate peace again.

Because not only Japan and Li Hongzhang didn't want to fight anymore, but also those European and American powers didn't want Nissin to fight anymore. At present, Britain, France, Germany, the United States, and other countries have successively put pressure on Japan and the Qing Dynasty through different channels, in an attempt to get the two countries to end the war as much as possible and reach a collegial agreement. Who is Li Hongzhang, he can naturally see what the idea of these foreign devils is. Originally, when the Japanese had the upper hand, they hid to the side and watched their excitement one by one. Now that the Qing Dynasty is about to win, they can't wait to jump out one by one, hoping that the two sides will not fight. The reason is very simple, if the Japanese win, they can take advantage of the fire to loot and take the opportunity to reap more benefits in the Great Qing Dynasty. And if the Qing Dynasty defeated Japan, the Qing Dynasty would inevitably take this opportunity to gradually rise, and a strong Qing state would not be in their interests in the Far East.

These foreign devils don't have a good thing, and all of them are not good. Li Hongzhang didn't know this truth, but he couldn't ignore the attitude of foreign devils. The reason is also very simple, because the Qing Dynasty is too weak to offend these Western powers, so Li Hongzhang will retreat step by step.

Li Hongzhang felt that the current situation was a bit passive, and after thinking about it, he decided to find foreigners, ask them to come forward to spread a message to the Japanese, and let Japan send Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi to the Qing Dynasty for peace talks. This can be regarded as an explanation to those Western powers, letting them know that the Qing Dynasty is sincere in conducting peace talks.

Abundant? also got Ren Chao's report as soon as possible, Yi? He could only shake his head helplessly and sighed, "This Ren madman is really crazy, he can do anything." "What's at stake? I didn't dare to delay, and decided to report this matter to Emperor Guangxu early the next morning.

The next morning, Emperor Guangxu listened to Yi? After the report, he took a closer look at Ren Chao's excerpts, and said with a stern face, "I didn't expect the Japanese to be so arrogant, how do you think I should deal with it?" Emperor Guangxu still did not want to negotiate peace in his heart, before the war Emperor Guangxu was biased towards the main battle faction, at that time Emperor Guangxu did not look at the three islands of the Japanese slaves at all, thinking that as long as the Qing Dynasty sent troops, they would be able to beat the Japanese and flee. Expanding territory was pursued by almost all monarchs, including the young and strong-blooded Guangxu Emperor. But after the war, the Qing army's cousin Xiàn made Emperor Guangxu heartbroken, first defeated again and again in Korea, and then let the Japanese hit the door, almost breaking the Beijing Division, Emperor Guangxu had to flee to Rehe for refuge. This is undoubtedly a great shame for Emperor Guangxu. Fortunately, the Tiger Ben Army was reinforced in time, and the siege of Beijing was relieved. Now that the Qing Dynasty has an advantage, Emperor Guangxu doesn't want to negotiate peace at this time, because he still wants to wash away the shame of the past! (To be continued......)
