Chapter 163 Tang Shaoyi's attitude

@@@@

"Glory? Xian, Jing Yang ()! ”

Yang Du didn't come to negotiate, but he came to Hubei with nothing to do, and before he finished tasting the prosperity of Hankou, he heard Tang Shaoyi shouting three names in a row, turned his head and saw three men of the same age as him coming towards him, and asked, "Prime Minister, who are these three?" ”

Tang Shaoyi was also surprised to see the three of them, and hurriedly introduced: "I don't know anything, they are the three heroes of the Kuang family." ”

Ore Three Heroes?

"It's not the ore that is Kuang's, but it's right that you say they're the three masters of the ore." Tang Shaoyi introduced Yang Du with a smile: "Kwong Rongguang, Kwong Xianyu and Kwong Jingyang are all my classmates when I studied in the United States!" Not only do they have the same surname, but they also studied ore and geological exploration at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Jingyang also participated in the national geological ore exploration activities organized by U.S. Steel Corporation during his internship. Haha, it's been decades since you returned to China, why did you come to Hubei? ”

Seeing his old classmates, Tang Shaoyi was very happy (). Yang Du was secretly frightened beside him, he was not familiar with the latter two, but how could he be an ordinary person to study at MIT? Just look at Zhan Tianyou today. What's more, Kuang Rongguang has also heard of it in Beijing, it is said that after returning from studying in the United States, he went to Tangshan Kailuan Coal Mine, and is a rare ore exploration and mining engineer in China, Hunan Xiangtan Coal Mine was also discovered by him, and Zhongxing Coal Mine was also operated by him to expand production. In his spare time, he also traveled all over Shandong Province, painted the "Geological Map of Zhili Province" and "Mineral Map of Zhili Province", and in recent years, he returned to Guangzhou to run a school monograph to train geological and mineral surveyors.

It is not just a coincidence that these three characters were not only young children who studied in the United States back then, but also studied geological exploration and ore mining at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and all appeared when the Han Yeping negotiations were about to begin! Yang Qiu's methods were too unexpected.

Who is Tang Shaoyi? The political whirlpool of more than ten years since the beginning of the first day of the afternoon has already cultivated enough political sense, although I am very happy to see my old friend, I also beat a drum in my heart and asks: "Why are the three of you here?" ”

Kuang Rongguang was a little older, and said with a smile: "It's not a good thing that that guy Chengcheng did. ”

"Sincerity? What happened to him? Tang Shaoyi asked: "Didn't he pounce on the Hanchuan line proudly in the spring breeze?" ”

Kuang Jingyang took over the words and said: "Isn't it, just build the railway well, it's okay to go to Inspector Yang and recommend Brother Rongguang to come to Hubei to serve as a professor of geology at the University of Technology, which doesn't close the Guangzhou school and bring students to Hubei." ”

Kuang Rongguang has an extraordinary level in geology and ores, ordinary people think that he will definitely make a fortune if he finds a random place, but he has an average family background, seeing that the Manchu Qing Dynasty does not attach importance to the development of mineral deposits, so he simply resigned and returned to Guangdong to run a school, but due to lack of money, there are few students, and this time he can come to Hubei to be a professor also satisfies his wish, so Tang Shaoyi is also happy for him, and asked: "Rongguang is a professor, you two?" ”

"Jing Yang is now the Minister of Mineral Resources of the three provinces, and Xian Yan does not want to be idle, and is preparing to go to Guizhou for inspection, hoping to give ideas for the use of local minerals." After Kuang Rongguang finished speaking, Tang Shaoyi frowned quietly. Now is the critical moment of Han Yeping's negotiations, and Han Yeping's involvement in Pingxiang's coal, Daye's iron and copper are all mineral resources, indicating that the three of them were obviously entrusted by Yang Qiu to make a special trip to bring a message to him, and asked: "Did Yang Patrol ask the three to bring me a message?" ”

The three of them knew that they couldn't hide it from him, so Kuang Rongguang said very simply: "The patrol envoy hopes that Brother Shaochuan will not forget what we studied abroad for." That's all there is to it, and the three of us came to you to catch up on the old things. ”

These few words aroused Tang Shaoyi's thoughts, and she was also secretly shocked that Yang Qiu was too good at taking advantage of people's hearts. Isn't it that he and Kuang Rongguang went to the United States to study in their teens, just with the ideal of rejuvenating the country and securing the country! He has been criticized for so many years, saying that he is clinging to Yuan Shikai, but in fact, he doesn't want to find a suitable person to take the country out of the quagmire. At this moment, he deliberately let the three of them come, and also used their mouths to reiterate his ideals, obviously implying that he would join forces to take back Han Yeping and hand it over to him, but if he wished, how should he explain to the one in the north?

In order to resolve the conflict between the two sides, Traun deliberately removed the conference table and replaced it with a hearth sofa that was more like a family-style communication, with a round coffee table in the middle of the sofa filled with all kinds of exquisite pastries. Since a gunshot rang out on October 10, although the countries have expressed neutrality, they have long been looking for a spokesperson who meets their own interests, Germany was at a clear disadvantage in this competition, but Yang Qiu's birth made him suddenly see the opportunity to fight for control of the Yangtze River, the United States is also very interested in Yang Qiu, and Hanger is also ready to personally accompany Yang Qiu to attend.

Although British Minister Ge Fu could not accept a large-scale war on the Yangtze River, especially a war involving a third country, he decided to accompany the Japanese plenipotentiary and Minister Matsumura Masao to attend the meeting out of an ally.

The German Concession is located in the middle of France and Japan, and if you want to avoid passing through the concessions of other countries, you can only take the waterway and Dazhimen Station, so Yang Qiu chose to take a warship from Wuchang to the concession wharf. When the Chu Yu ship slowly approached the dock, Traun was already waiting there, and the German sailors stood solemnly with guns. Originally, warships and weapons were not allowed to enter the concession, and they couldn't even wear military uniforms, but in order to deepen the relationship, this time the German government made an exception to allow the Chinese ** ship to dock in port, and also promised Yang Qiu that he could wear military uniforms but not bring weapons.

Seeing Hanger and Yang Qiu coming down from the warship together, Traun was also a little surprised, and secretly asked how he had such a good relationship with the United States? However, this situation is what he wants to see, the competition between the two sides of the Atlantic is becoming increasingly fierce, Germany does not want the United States to intervene, if it can establish some tacit understanding with the United States through Yang Qiu, the value is far greater than supporting him to take back Han Yeping ().

"Thank you, Minister, for coming to greet you personally."

Yang Qiu's military uniform and the company of the US commercial counselor in China, and the film of many reporters, the flashing lights crackled around the dock, and the nerves of Lei Meng, who could not bring a gun, and several soldiers of the guard company were highly nervous. Fortunately, the welcome at the dock passed quickly, and the three of them chatted while walking under the leadership of Traun, and when they were about to enter the embassy, Yang Qiu saw Tang Shaoyi and Wu Tingfang who appeared with the British minister, and the gloomy and almost dripping face of Matsumura Sadao next to him made him smile slightly, but an old man in a long robe and hanging his head beside him surprised him a little.

Sheng Xuanhuai?!

Yang Qiu had seen a photo of this person in a parallel world, obviously because he was worried about Han Yeping's status and the safety of his family after Xinhai, so he was much thinner than the photo, and he didn't dare to look directly when he saw himself, for fear of causing big trouble to his family.

As soon as he sat down, the Japanese minister, Matsumura Sadao, couldn't help but be the first to attack: "Your Excellency, Commander, on behalf of the Japanese government, I formally lodge a solemn protest against your army's sudden attack on our troops stationed in Daye, and you must publish an apology in a newspaper, and the army will immediately withdraw from Daye, and provide 1 million yuan in compensation to the victims." ”

With Yang Qiu's support, Wang Zhengting, the chief negotiator and minister of foreign affairs of the three provinces, stiffened his waist a lot, and immediately competed against each other: "Your Excellency, Minister! Pay attention to your words, Japan has always prided itself as a civilized country, should it tell nonsense with its eyes open? I have here the confessions of several captured soldiers of your country, and they can prove that it was your ** team that fired first and killed dozens of our exercise troops, and also used heavy ordnance such as artillery and machine guns during the period, and our army was forced to return fire! ”

Matsumura Sadao secretly scolded Gao Chuan's soldiers for not being able to use them, and actually left a confession, and at the same time said stiffly: "That's also because your country entered the Daye mining area first, which is a provocative act deliberately planned by you." ”

Yang Qiu took a sip of tea and didn't speak, and Chen Guofu, who was standing behind, heard that he was still arguing, so he stood up angrily and said: "Three days before the incident, we had already informed His Excellency the Minister that we would conduct a cross-year military exercise in Daye, and Daye is not a concession, and our national defense forces have the right to conduct military exercises at any point in the territory. ”

"Han Yeping has a major interest relationship with our country, and it was you who entered the mining area first, so you have to take full responsibility for this matter ()!"

"What is the stake in it? Are you talking about loans? As far as I know, Han Yeping has not stopped repaying and has not violated the contract, so Han Yeping is still my country's property! Moreover, the place of engagement is located in Lion Rock outside the mine, which shows that our army did not enter any factories and mines of Han Yeping at that time! ”

The two sides were about to enter a stalemate, Yang Qiu suddenly put the coffee cup on the table, and after the crisp voice quieted down in the living room, he stared at Matsumura Sadao coldly, and took a check from Chen Guofu's hand with his finger and put it on the table: "This is a check for 5.2 million US dollars, Your Excellency Hanger can prove whether this check is valid or not." Among them, 5 million yuan is used to repay Han Yeping's loan to your country, and the remaining 200,000 yuan is used for humanitarian reasons as a pension to compensate the victims of your ** team. We don't want to continue the war, my country needs peace, and as a tour of the three provinces, I also want the people to continue to live in peace and security, but. ”

Yang Qiu suddenly raised his voice and raised his head and said: "We are not afraid of the threat of war, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have already sharpened their bayonets, if Your Excellency insists on using this attitude, I don't think there is any need for us to continue to negotiate, it is better to let our respective armies speak!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Matsumura Sadao's face was even more ugly, even Wu Tingfang and Tang Shaoyi were secretly speechless, saying that this person came to the crazy master, and he really saw it today, and he simply rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight after less than three sentences, is this still a negotiation? Wu Tingfang hurriedly got up and did peace. Tang Shaoyi glanced at Sheng Xuanhuai, who was sitting next to him, and suddenly approached the past. Since he was the Minister of Posts before, he said in a low voice, "Lord Shan, there are some things that should be let go." Several students who studied abroad with me are very interested in your shares of Hanyeping, what do you think? ”

Sheng Xuanhuai's body trembled violently, first looked at the strong Yang Qiu, and then looked at Germany and the United States, which obviously supported him, and his eyelids slowly drooped
