Chapter 202: It's not fun to talk about yourself
These Japanese were none other than Japanese Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu and his entourage, who had rushed to the Great Qing Dynasty to discuss peace. Originally, this Mutsu Somitsu went straight to Tianjin after boarding the ship from Japan, and the Japanese speculated that this time the peace was still negotiated with Li Hongzhang.
However, to Mutsu Somitsu's disappointment, after arriving in Tianjin, he was told that the new governor of Shandong, Ren Chaoren, was in charge of the negotiations, and asked them to rush to Shandong to negotiate with Ren Chao. This result shocked Mutsu Munemitsu, and at the same time felt a burst of egg pain. Who is this Ren Chao? Presumably all the Japanese now know that it was this guy who led the Tiger Ben Army to defeat the Japanese Locust Army, which thought it was invincible in the world, and it was precisely because of the appearance of this person that Mutsu Munemitsu would run from Japan to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing court actually sent this person to be responsible for negotiating peace with Japan, so is it strange that Mutsu Munemitsu is not in pain? But there is no way, now it is up to the people to decide, although Mutsu Somitsu has a hundred or ten thousand unwilling in his heart, but he also has to accept this cruel reality.
Now that he has arrived in Tianjin, Michilo Zongguang can't come in vain, so he plans to visit Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang first, after all, this Li Hongzhang is Ren Chao's top boss, if he can get through the relationship between Li Hongzhang, the next negotiations will naturally be easy to discuss. They Japanese can't do anything about Ren Chao, but Li Hongzhang can restrain Ren Chao. So Mutsu Zong Guang ran to the Governor's Mansion of Zhili to see Li Hongzhang, and by the way, he also prepared a big red envelope for Li Hongzhang. This red envelope was saved by the Japanese tightening their belts, and this money is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for the Japanese treasury, which has basically bottomed out.
But to Mutsu Munemitsu's frustration. Li Hongzhang didn't give him a chance to bribe at all, and he was busy with government affairs and had no time, so he sent Mutsu Zongguang away. ate Li Hongzhang's slap behind closed doors. In desperation, Mutsu Zongguang could only rush to Jinan without relentless work. After arriving in Jinan, Mutsu Zongguang went directly to the governor's yamen to ask to see Ren Chao, but was told that Ren Chao was still on his way to Shandong. Mutsu Munemitsu never dreamed that this errand would be so difficult! I have no choice but to wait!
Two days later, Mutsu Somitsu received news that Ren Chao was back. Mutsu Zong Guang was overjoyed, so he went out of Jinan City early in the morning with the Shandong officials who greeted Ren Chao. Come together to greet Ren Chao.
A group of officials in Shandong, led by the two divisions, Li Chengen, the political envoy of Shandong, and Xu Wenyuan, the envoy of Shandong, saluted the new governor Ren Chao. Greetings to Ren Chao's appointment, "Your Majesty will see Lord Futai!" ”
Ren Chao hurriedly jumped off the horse and helped Li Chengen and Xu Wenyuan up with a smile, "Everyone, please get up quickly!" When Ren first arrived in Shandong, he will rely on his colleagues to help him in the future. Ren Chao said very politely.
Li Chengen briefed Ren Chaoyi on some of the principal officials in Shandong. Ren Chao smiled and exchanged a few words with everyone. At this time, Li Chengen suddenly remembered that the Japanese had also come. So he whispered to Ren Chao, "Lord Futai, the foreign minister Mutsu Munemitsu sent by Japan to negotiate peace arrived in Jinan two days ago, and I heard that the lord is back, and he also came to greet the lord with the lower officials, and the lower officials will introduce the lords." ”
Ren Chao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry!" There is no hurry to negotiate peace with the Japanese, so let's go back to the city first! ”
"Lord Futai. The Japanese envoy came from afar, and went out of the city to greet the adults. Out of courtesy, let's go over and say hello to them! Li Chengen couldn't help frowning and said.
"This Japanese soldier has invaded my Qing Dynasty and killed my people, what etiquette do we have to talk to them? Ignore them and go back to the city. Ren Chao showed a trace of impatience on his face, turned around and got on his horse and walked directly towards Jinan City.
Li Chengen was helpless, and Mutsu Zongguang, who rushed out of the distance, shook his head. But I didn't expect that Mutsu Zongguang didn't plan to give up, when Ren Chao rode by, Mutsu Zongguang greeted him with a smile, "I heard that Lord Ren went back to Jinan to take up his post, I specially came to greet him, and we have been waiting for you again for a long time." Mutsu Munemitsu bowed to Ren Chao very politely as he spoke, and when he bent over, he saw four slender horse legs walking in front of Mutsu Somitsu. Ren Chao didn't even stop at all, and directly ignored Mutsu Zongguang. Just as he was looking down, Mutsu Munemitsu saw a slender thing on Ren Chao's horse's belly suddenly jumping, as if he was laughing at Mutsu Somitsu's self-inflicted boredom.
The feeling of being in love sticking to someone's cold ass is undoubtedly very unpleasant, and Mutsu Munemitsu's face has turned purple when he raised his head. Looking at Ren Chao's distant back, Mutsu Zongguang couldn't help but grit his teeth for a while, and whispered, "Bagaya Road!" ”
At this time, one of Mutsu Munemitsu's entourage walked up and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, this person is so rude, it is simply unreasonable!" Let the lowly go and kill this bastard, and get rid of this henchman for the Empire! ”
"Don't be reckless, don't spoil the great affairs of His Majesty the Emperor because of a momentary battle of will." Although Mutsu Munemitsu was already extremely angry, reason told him that he had to be patient. For the sake of the so-called overall situation and his own life, Mutsu Zongguang could only endure this evil breath.
That night, a banquet was held in the governor's mansion to wash the dust for the new governor Ren Chao, who was originally going to attend the banquet, but also received an invitation from Li Chengen. But what happened during the day today made Mutsu Munemitsu change his mind, after all, Mutsu Munemitsu has no masochistic tendencies, and this kind of self-inflicted humiliation is enough once, and Mutsu Munemitsu did not attend this banquet.
Mutsu Ao Zongguang didn't come, Ren Chao was also happy, these people just made Ren Chao disgusted when they came, and it was naturally best not to come.
When Ren Chao was still in Beijing, he sent a telegram to inform the defenders of the Tiger Army in Jiaoao, ordering him to send someone to escort Li Yanxi and others to Jinan to join him. The day before Ren Chao arrived in Jinan, Li Yanxi had already arrived in Jinan one step in advance. The reason why she walked so slowly was because Li Yanxi was pregnant, and it had been more than three months at this time, and she naturally couldn't stand the bumps when she was pregnant, so Li Yanxi and others walked slower than Ren Chao and his party, although Jiaoao was much closer to Jinan, but it was only a day earlier than Ren Chao.
In order to prevent Ren Chao from being drunk and messing around, he did something he shouldn't do, and Li Yanxi did not have sex with Ren Chao. The drunken Ren Chao returned to the room alone, and finally took off his clothes with the help of Ling'er. Because of his happiness, Ren Chao drank a lot this time, and fell on the bed like a puddle of mud.
The elf suddenly ran out at this time, landed beside Ren Chao's bed, and said with a smile, "Lord Futai, how lonely is it to be alone for a long night?" Although your little North Korean beauty can't accompany you anymore, what about a Ling'er outside? It's also great to call in and sleep together! ”
"Whew!" The elf wanted to continue to tease Ren Chao, but he didn't expect Ren Chao's snoring sound to come from this time, obviously this guy was already asleep. Seeing this, the elf hugged his shoulders and sighed helplessly and said, "Boring! It's really boring! (To be continued......)
