Seeing that Lin Yuan's attitude was so resolute, Ito Hirofumi took the document back, after all, it was only the first meeting, and throwing out the document was just to test Lin Yuan's attitude, and it was not yet time to go-for-tat and bargain.

Ito Hirofumi said with a smile: "I admire Chinese culture very much, I don't know what Lord Lin thinks of Yuan Shizu?" Of course, Lin Yuan heard Ito Hirobumi's voice, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, had twice sent troops to attack Japan, and the Japanese history books called Kublai Khan's expeditionary force "Yuan Kou", these two expeditions ended in failure, Ito Hirobumi mentioned him at this time, obviously saying that Lin Yuan fought against Japan, and eventually failed like Kublai Khan's expeditionary force.

Lin Yuan smiled: "I don't know how Kublai Khan was, but I am familiar with Japanese history, and I must be the same with Mr. Ito, I wonder what Mr. Ito thinks of Toyotomi Hideyoshi?" ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a famous Japanese hero, once the actual ruler of Japan at the end of the Warring States Period, these Ito Hirobumi are all knowledgeable, but Ito Hirofumi is very clear what Lin Yuan means when he mentions Toyotomi Hideyoshi, in 1592, Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea, and was later defeated by the army sent by the Ming Dynasty, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also died of depression, Lin Yuan mentioned him, obviously to say that Japan will lose in this war as it did hundreds of years ago.

The two borrowed history and fought secretly for a round, regardless of victory or defeat, Ito Hirobumi smiled: "We might as well stop here today, and we will continue to talk tomorrow." ”

Lin Yuan got up and made a gesture to see off the guests, and the attendants of the Qing court sent the Japanese mission out of the room.

In order to facilitate the negotiation, Lin Yuan stayed in this hotel, and when he returned to his room, Shen Wanqing was already there, and they installed a bugging device in the negotiation room, so they could hear the negotiators' words.

As soon as Lin Yuan came in, he asked, "Have you installed bugs in the Japanese house?" ”

Shen Wanqing shook her head and said helplessly: "The Japanese have learned smartly this time, they didn't live in the room we arranged, but chose a hotel by themselves, and it was very strictly guarded, so it was difficult for us to enter." ”

Lin Yuan nodded, and Shen Wanqing said, "How could the Japanese come up with such a way to jointly manage Shengjing with us." ”

Lin Yuan said: "If you do this, the Japanese will take a big advantage!" The west of the Liao River belongs to us, the east of the Liao River belongs to them, and Shenyang is under their control, you look at the map, is there a place called Fushun in the east of Shenyang. ”

Shen Wanqing looked at it for a long time and said, "No." ”

Lin Yuan leaned over to take a look and said, "The map you are looking at is a map of the Qing Dynasty, and during the Qing Dynasty, there was no Fushun here." ”

Shen Wanqing nodded, and Lin Yuan said: "I have read a piece of information, in our era, since the beginning of the twentieth century, Fushun's coal production has been the highest in the country, with an annual output of more than eight million tons, while the coal output in other parts of the country is rarely one million tons, and the quality of Fushun's coal is excellent, whether it is for fuel or coking, I think, the Japanese must be eyeing this coalfield." ”

Lin Yuan also said: "There are not only coal mines east of the Liaohe River, but also iron ore resources in Anshan, and an ice-free port in Lushun!" In any case, we can't give Liaoning to the Japanese, as long as we take Liaoning, we will have sufficient resources to develop our own industry! ”

The negotiations on the second day were a real contest between the two sides.

Lin Yuan leaned back on the back of the chair, fiddled with the teacup in front of him with both hands carelessly, and said slowly: "It is absolutely impossible to rule the Liao River, if you insist on it again and again, we will have no need to negotiate." ”

When a person expresses his own point of view, the more casual his expression is, the more he insists on his own point of view, and Lin Yuan's actions and demeanor are revealing such a message to Ito Hirobumi: "Your plan, we must not agree!" ”

Ito Hirofumi smiled deeply, his fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, but he didn't make a sound, and his expression looked more relaxed than Lin Yuan.

Ito Hirobumi said with a smile: "Lord Lin, I advise your country to agree to our plan, so that we can end the war with dignity, I know that your country has spent a lot of manpower and material resources in order to fight this war. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. Ito, our two countries are like two people fighting, both of them are holding knives, both stabbing each other to blood, and they are both waiting for each other to fall due to physical exhaustion, we have many adults in the Qing country, and there are few people in your country, the two of us, one is a strong man, the other is a baby, which of us do you say will fall first?" ”

When Ito Hirobumi heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Lord Lin, to be honest, I don't like your analogy very much, because both of us are holding knives, but we are wearing armor and holding shields. ”

Ito Hirofumi continued: "Lord Lin, I don't know much about military affairs, but I also know that the current battlefield situation in Mukden, it is difficult for you to fight anywhere first, because our troops are deployed in Changtu, Shengjing, Liaoyang, Haicheng, Lushun, these places form a line, like the long snake formation in your Qing people's art of war, no matter where you fight, our other places will go over to reinforce!" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Our ancestor left a sentence, fight the snake and hit the seven inches, in my opinion, Shengjing is the seven inches of this snake, the defenders of Changtu, they dare not move, because the Russians are eyeing it there, and Liaoyang and Haicheng do not have too many troops, rescuing Shengjing is tantamount to extinguishing the fire of the prairie with a glass of water, and the defenders of Lushun, hum!" ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yuan sneered, stared at Ito Hirobumi, and said: "If the defenders of Lushun move, I will send a strong team to take Lushun Dalian overnight!" ”

Ito Hirobumi also smiled, he leaned his body towards the table, and said with a smile: "I appreciate a word in Chinese called impregnable, a wall made of steel, a moat made of boiling water, where can the enemy break through?" ”

Ito Hirobumi crossed his hands, looked at Lin Yuan's eyes with a cold gaze, and said: "Our Shengjing City is the Jincheng Soup Pool, outside the city there are trenches we dug, barbed wire, our trenches, and our heroic samurai in the trenches, and after them, we are the strongest barrier!" A bunker built on a high slope, the machine guns in the bunker can overlook the entire battlefield, no matter which direction you charge, our bullets will knock you down like wheat! ”

Ito Hirobumi took a sip of tea and said proudly: "In the first two battles, you applied new artillery, but your artillery can't impress a single hair of our bunker!" Because, our bunker also uses the latest technology! ”
