Wang Yi's status in the Northeast Autonomous Region is naturally unmatched, and the people respect and love him very much, but this does not mean that all the policies he formulated are not opposed in the Northeast. In particular, in terms of foreign wars, the continuous wars between the Northeast and the Russian Empire severely depleted the strength of the Northeast and slowed down the speed of economic development. And many people believe that although a large territory has been laid in the north, most of it is a bitter cold land and has no value. Rather than doing useless work on this, it is better to look to the richer parts of the south.

That being said, the problem is that the south side of the northeast is the sea, and unless you make a move against the Qing Dynasty, you can only rely on the navy to fight the war, and the opponents may be Britain, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal. The strategic environment in the South was far more complex than in the North when there was only the Russian Empire. And land warfare is cheaper than naval warfare, and even if it loses once or twice, the military strength can be quickly replenished. However, once the naval battle fails, it is likely to be a matter of trauma, and it will be difficult to recover in the short term from the training of warships and personnel. Moreover, the north is far more charming than it looks on the outside. From gold, silver, copper, iron, to oil and gas, there are also industrial and scientific grade diamond veins formed by meteorite impacts. The vast primeval forest, the abundant species resources, and the qiē are all so charming. Wang Yi never felt that this was a place where those rotten Confucians and the public knew that they were no different from being occupied and abandoned.

"Wasting state money? The life of these goods is the real waste of national funds! Early in the morning, Wang Yi walked alone in the groves of Ningdao, thinking about the report he had seen yesterday about the cessation of the war in East Russia. Although he did not explicitly criticize his own policies, the meaning between the lines was really obvious. The report was submitted by a group in the National People's Congress called the War Control Committee, which has about 20 members, and although it seems that they are all unrelated people's congress deputies, in fact these people are inextricably linked to the Manchu relatives and nobles in Beijing. In other words, behind them is a dead old woman that Wang Yi hates very much. "Why can't a person with a clean net worth not be elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress these years?" Wang was slandered for a while. "Don't push me to be in a hurry, the little master dug up your ancestral grave."

When Wang Yi sighed, a pair of small hands covered his mouth from behind his back and said with a smile: "Sighing will make happiness slip away!" ”

Without looking back, Wang Yi also knew who it was, so he turned around and hugged the girl in his arms, and said, "With Yun'er here, the happiness of the master will not slip away!" ”

The girl hugged Wang Yi's neck, and a pair of smiling eyes made Wang Yi's boredom in the morning disappear.

"Come with me."

"Okay!" Kim Yuna hugged Wang Yi's arm and nodded with a smile.

The two walked for a while, came to the lake, and only heard someone humane: "My daughter is sad, my husband is gone, my daughter is sad, and I have no money to buy osmanthus oil." ”

Wang Yi laughed after hearing this, and said, "My daughter is sad, marrying a man is a turtle." The daughter was worried, and the embroidery room pulled out a big horse monkey. ”

Jin Yuna felt that what Wang Yi said was very interesting, and squatted on the ground and laughed so much that she couldn't breathe. However, the person who spoke before was taken aback, turned around and saw that it was Wang Yi, and hurriedly got up to salute, but a book fell to the ground.

"Young master, Jiaren greets you."

Wang Yi walked over and grabbed Jiaren's hand and said, "How did you go to the lake in the early morning and read the Dream of Red Mansions?" It's humid here, so be careful of getting cold. ”

Jiaren raised his head and smiled slightly.

Wang Yi took the two girls for a casual walk around the island for a while, and then returned to have breakfast. At this moment, Han Xiujing walked over and said, "Captain, this is the relevant report of our recent armistice negotiations with the Russian Empire, Premier Yang Qiuxing and Foreign Minister Zhao Liewen asked for your handling opinions. ”

The report was placed in front of Wang Yi, but he didn't answer it, just said: "Call them back, and say let go and negotiate." ”

"What about you?" Han Xiujing was stunned, she didn't expect Wang Yi to have such an attitude, which was somewhat unexpected.

"I can't handle everything, dealing with the Russians, it's enough to have Zhao Liewen and Tang Shaoyi. The front line has won the battle, and if these people can't get enough benefits for the Northeast, then get out of here. As for the agreements signed, it is enough to create some incidents and fight another war. ”

Shengjing soon received a reply from Ningdao, and Yang Qiuxing, as the premier of the autonomous region, actually didn't ask much about this matter, after all, it was only a preliminary negotiation. As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Zhao Liewen is in charge of this matter, but Russia's current representative is actually only the ambassador of the Russian Empire to the Qing Dynasty, and the level does not match him. The main purpose of the preliminary meeting is to finalize the personnel, content and time of the formal negotiation, as well as the preliminary exchange of views between the two sides, so it is actually Tang Shaoyi who is really responsible for the negotiation.

Of course, the Qing court sent Emperor Guangxu's biological father, Prince Yixun, and Zeng Jize, who was quite proficient in foreign affairs. The latter should have officially served as the negotiating observer representative of the suzerainty of the northeast, while the former most likely took advantage of this foreign negotiation to take the opportunity to come to the northeast to contact the feelings of the Manchus. The report that Wang Yi received yesterday was most likely the result of this prince's operation behind the scenes.

The third meeting of the preliminary talks between East Russia and Russia officially began today, and the two sides arrived one after another at 9 o'clock in the morning, except for the first day after Zhao Liewen showed up, Tang Shaoyi sat on the main seat, followed by the interpreter, and some other bureaucrats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Russian negotiator was the Russian Imperial Ambassador to the Qing Dynasty, Kuman, and the rest were also staff members of the embassy in Beijing. The ambassadors of several other European countries, as well as Japan, sat on the periphery and listened. That said, most of them sat behind Kuman's group, and it looked like they had joined forces to add momentum to the Russians.

Tang Shaoyi was unmoved, he was no longer surprised by this kind of thing. Don't look at the contradictions of these European powers in Europe, but once they encounter the problem of interest disputes with the Qing Dynasty, they are more about letting go of the contradictions and sharing interests. In this respect, the European powers most of the time showed a skillful attitude in diplomacy in the interests of their countries...... At least Tang Shaoyi admires them. It seems that the gentleman on Ning Island did not lightly stretch out his hand to the islands in the South China Sea, but also because he was afraid that those colonial countries would unite and cause too much burden to the Northeast.

"Mr. Tang, our attitude is very clear, stop the war, return the occupied territories of our country, and at the same time the Northeast needs to cede land and pay compensation to completely compensate for our losses." Kuman's voice shook the glass of the entire conference room.

Tang Shaoyi looked at him with a smile, until he stared at the other party to the hair, and then said: "Mr. Kuman, we are engaged in diplomacy, if we have a loud voice, we can solve the problem, I don't think you and I will have to sit here today." But I am glad that although we have great differences, we are not without common ground, and that is the desire to stop the war. ”
