Chapter 246: Li Hongzhang's Political Wisdom

"Silence! Quiet! It's a meeting of decent people! Not chaotic streets! ”

British Foreign Secretary Clarendon IV was shocked on the spot, you must know that the place where everyone is meeting now is London, the home of the British, can you not give some face?

In addition, this Clarendon is known as a great nobleman, so naturally it is not small, so this roar is also full of skill.

"Humph!" However, then Li Hongzhang didn't buy it, "I said this old man Clarendon, I just quarreled with that old man, that's our Chinese's own business, you can't care, you know?" ”

Obviously, this guy Li Hongzhang has started to play hooligan again.

"I'll hang you......" Huang Sanye heard this, can he not be angry? He is the ruler of the country, and there is a war going on right now, "It is said that someone just came out to speak, and I don't want to make trouble, but you old dog!" The dog who made the Tartar will bite me again! Phew! ”

"Yo he! You traitor is immortal......" Li Hongzhang looked at it, this feeling is good, keep coming.

Seeing that the battle was about to escalate again, Liszt here grabbed Huang Sanye.

"Third master, we can't be as knowledgeable as the Qing people now." Although Liszt, the righteous envoy, is right, he is not as detached as Huang Sanye in terms of status, so he has to say something else, who can persuade Huang Sanye, he said this, "Third Master, after all, is now on the land of the British, and he has to give the British some face." Besides, if this kind of quarrel continues, how can this meeting be held? When the time comes, if it is a big thing that is ruined, how can it be good? ”

"......" Huang Sanye heard it, and this is also the truth. He just did. The reason is that it is like being beaten with chicken blood. Mainly because he was very happy, but someone disgusted him, can he not be angry?

"Fuck! Lao Tzu is not as knowledgeable as you! Huang Sanye's face tensed, and he returned to his seat angrily.

"Still not like me? Lao Tzu also ...... that Li Hongzhang is still scolding, but however, Clarendon IV really can't stand it."

"Enough! That's enough! Gentlemen! We are all decent people, and this is not the place to quarrel! If you insist on a winner, then you can use a gentleman's approach. Go to a duel......"

I have to say, although this Clarendon IV said words that are in line with the values of Europeans, but you are now engaged in diplomacy, is this sure that you are not adding to the chaos?

"Your Excellency, let me mediate." Disraeli next to Clarendon couldn't stand it anymore, and he didn't want to mess it up.

But he didn't expect that Li Hongzhang was also a smart person.

"Sue you! Today Lao Tzu is giving face to the white-haired old man! Li Hongzhang protested at Huang Sanye, and then returned in a huff, yes. He doesn't talk nonsense.

The white-haired old man is Clarendon because he is a nobleman. Then naturally you have to maintain a good appearance, this white hair is a wig, many Europeans are like this, the first to start is the French, Louis XIII and XIV prefer black wigs, and they are very long, because black hair means that you may be a descendant of the ancient Romans, which is a symbol of nobility.

Huang Sanye still wanted to say a few words, but was persuaded by Liszt, and next, Disraeli also said two sentences.

"You don't need to move. In fact, in our meeting, there is no substantive conflict between the Qing State and the American Empire represented by the two people, that is, at the meeting, the two should not discuss too much, which will take up the time of the meeting, that is, resources. If you have a dispute, you can settle it privately, and of course, if you need a place, we at the British Empire can provide it. ”

You see, this Disraeli is very powerful, the level of this speech is really high, although there is nothing on the surface, but this is definitely 'irony', yes, there is nothing to do with the two of you, what are you arguing about?

And ah, Disraeli hasn't forgotten to do business, so how can it be possible to provide a place without money?

The face of the Englishman is vividly reflected in the body of Disraeli, who is also a Jew......

But in fact, this dispute seems so nonsensical and boring, but for Li Hongzhang, he must fight!

This topic itself is a question of orthodoxy, in the Qing Dynasty, it is necessary to insist that the Manchus now have the world, so the Manchus rule the Han people, which is orthodoxy, and the people are dominating the Central Plains. And Li Hongzhang is an official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he has to maintain this, without saying a word!

However, Li Hongzhang himself knows that this matter is very controversial for the Han people, but this controversy must be put aside now, and he is right to defend it. And in addition, he knows that he has a hard time maintaining.

Yes, Li Hongzhang will fight at most!

He has no other way, just the American Empire, can the Qing court still fight it?

There is absolutely no such possibility, across the sea, the Qing court can't do it at all, and you must know that the New Tang Dynasty Empire of the United States has just cleaned up the old European powers!

Although it wasn't too hard, it wasn't fought in someone's hometown, but it was also beaten.

So, no matter how you look at it, knowing that this thing can't be done, then Li Hongzhang has to do the same, at least go back and explain to Cixi and Prince Gong, right?

Yes, this matter seems to be very nonsensical, but for Li Hongzhang, it is not a trivial matter, this is the embodiment of his political wisdom......

But in any case, the current turmoil is over, and the London Peace Conference is about to begin in earnest.

"Gentlemen!" The first to speak was not the British host, but the French foreign secretary, whose name was Lionard. Francois. Moose, this guy has a lot of background, he's a marquis.

Just listen to him say: "In Mexico, the warriors of the French Empire shed glorious blood, they made the will of God manifest, they punished a heresy who wanted to persecute God's servants!" But we didn't expect that someone would stand up for those heretics! They slay our warriors! With very unbearable means...... God, please forgive me, I can't describe it......"

Needless to say. This Lionel was gushing as soon as he came up. directly pointed the finger at the American Empire. The most important thing is that he used the word heresy, in order to lead this war to the religious aspect, because it can draw many people into the pit.

You know, when the French intervened in Mexico, their excuse was that Mexico persecuted Catholics, and Europe is the Catholic world, Lionel shouted. Naturally, that will resonate with a lot of people.

In this way, this marquis is not a straw bag, there are two hits, but it is not ......

“THAT`S-BULL-SHIT!” Liszt, this guy is also fierce enough, so he simply didn't let Lionel talk about it, and directly burst into foul language! "You French are simply a bunch of invaders! A group of people in the name of God, swaggering and deceiving, in order to interfere in the internal affairs of Mexico! And then get the coveted invaders of silver and gold! You are wicked! Yes, it will be punished by God! And our empire, our emperor Clint . Li I, how wise and great. He said early on that all religions are freedom! I, the American Empire, will not oppose any religion. But what a great idea is it to also protect other religious believers, that you can believe in you, and others can trust others? What a good deed?! ”

Liszt, this guy was about to find his previous state as he spoke, but fortunately, this was the conference room, and he quickly calmed down, because he knew that if he shouted slogans, not many people would follow him, and the guards just now went down.

"You vulgar bastard!" Liszt's stormy attack directly caused Leonard's face to turn red, this guy is a nobleman, this is better than scolding, I'm afraid it won't work.

"Don't speak ill of each other! Gentlemen, we are all gentlemen! "Clarendon IV has come out to maintain order.

In fact, this big nobleman knows very well in his heart that every time this kind of meeting is held, the foul language is indispensable at all, and sometimes even everyone simply accuses each other and abuses each other, which is the norm of this kind of meeting. At such times, what gentlemanly manners, what politeness, that is something that an idiot will keep.

"Gentlemen! I would like to say a few words. "At this time, U.S. Secretary of State Ward is about to speak.

That's right, Sward is the secretary of state, and one of the important jobs of the secretary of state is diplomacy, and he is the head of the secretaries, so he is naturally the leader of the American delegation at the London Peace Conference. But however, it is very interesting, if Li Mengyang is here, he will definitely know that there are some problems within the United States.

Because of that old salmon...... Well, that's Li Mengyang's father-in-law, although he himself has severed ties with Fiona...... Salmon. That guy Chase didn't come!

Chase is the US Secretary of the Treasury, and generally speaking, he needs the help of the Treasury Department to engage in diplomacy, otherwise it is just a rhetorical cannon, and he will not pay lip service, so who will take care of you in the world?

So, is there something really going on in the United States?

It's not clear yet, but Ward is still a great person.

"First of all, the approach of the French Empire is debatable, although it may be that they have good intentions." "But we can be sure of one thing, that is, the military activities of the American Empire in Mexico are absolutely illegal!" ”

As soon as the words "Oooh ......" came out, the audience was a sensation.

“BULL-SHIT! You're a piece of! Liszt was immediately furious!

“WHAT!” Sward was also angry, "You dare to openly insult me? ”

"That's right! I'll scold you! Liszt was not convinced, "Why are we breaking the law?" We're here to help the Indians! It's you, the United States! You guys come out like a-stirring stick! Liszt finished scolding, and stood up to look around the audience.

"Gentlemen, I'm afraid you don't know about the atrocities of the United States of America and their soldiers!?"

"What?"

Atrocity? And what other atrocities? (To be continued......)
