People do not destroy for themselves, this is the essence of He Guiqing's many years of officialdom experience, he has come all the way, entered the door of Mu Zhang'a, had a good relationship with Sai Shang'a, pursued the emperor Du Shoutian, served in the current first assistant Peng Yunzhang, and deigned to visit Yang Laosan, a small fellow of the Nanyang minister, as the second handsome.

When the dynasty is released to supervise the governor, most of the time it means derogation, but the governor of Liangjiang is different, Wen Shuai is the second, the leader of Jiangnan, if he can return to Beijing from Liangjiang, the position of the first assistant and the power of the half-phase, he He Guiqing can also sit and use it.

Serving in Jiangnan to see Yang San, this is already a rule in the heart of Jiangnan Governor, don't you see Huang Zonghan and others, are you still in the Beijing Division? The position of these two rivers, if it is about seniority, Huang Zonghan should be the first choice, but Huang Zonghan, who has hated Yang Laosan in the position of governor of Sichuan, and is in a good time, can only stay in Beijing and sulk.

Speaking of which, He Guiqing and the Yang family are also world friends, when He Guiqing entered the Beijing Division, the old man of the Yang family helped him in the money, he served in Liangjiang, coupled with the relationship with the Yang family, he should have done a safe and stable job, but the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, He Guiqing, who had just taken office, got a note from Yangyi, and after meeting with the British envoy Paxiali, this He Guiqing didn't know that the string was wrong, and he wanted to bring down Yang Meng and take the opportunity to take the position.

However, according to the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, He Guiqing made this choice, and it is also reasonable, if Yang Meng falls, this land in the south of the Yangtze River will vacate a lot of power, he does not have to be controlled by others after the two rivers, and the second can expand his powers, with these he has the hole card to return to the Beijing Division, only one step away, it is the peak of the power of a very human minister, and He Guiqing can't help but fight hard!

Pity. The opponent he met was Yang Meng. Yang Meng, who has long had the heart of usurpation. He Guiqing's impeachment of Yang Meng was being planned, and Shanghai Dao Cen Yuying and Ma Qinghu, the chief military officer of Dingzhen, knocked on the door.

"He Guiqing, there are some things to do, some things to do, my third master is for the sake of the fellow party, and I strongly support you to sit in the position of these two rivers, don't think that if the third master doesn't speak, he just hasn't helped you. For you He Guiqing, the third master does not speak is the greatest help to you, now you He Guiqing want to be a white-eyed wolf, then you can try, once the excerpt you write is sent, the ending will be decided, you He Guiqing will die on the two rivers.

At this point, I won't say more, how to choose, you He Guiqing will do it yourself! ”

The Liangjiang Mansion is a small imperial court. These two people came to him silently, which really surprised He Guiqing.

"Yan Qing. How do you say this, the friendship between us is there, your third master is the best friend of the department, the impeachment is just groundless, and I don't know which villain instigated it behind it! ”

Cen Yuying's words also surprised He Guiqing, Cen Yuying, the Shanghai Dao, is not very prominent in Liangjiang, but Ma Qinghu, the chief soldier of Dingzhen next to him, is different.

Dingzhen General Soldier, there was no such official position before the imperial court, this Dinghai and Zhenhai passes, which pass did not have three or five general soldiers, his position as the general soldier of Dingzhen was actually the position of the commander of the land and water forces!

Some time ago, Yu Yangyi, this Ma Qinghu has made a lot of achievements, and he is afraid that he will not be able to catch this Dingzhen general soldier, He Guiqing, the two rivers.

"Farewell!"

The governor of the land south of the Yangtze River, who is doing what and who is saying what, the Yang family is clear, any Gui Qing denies it in every way, and some things cannot be hidden, after leaving a sentence, Cen Yuying did not ink with He Guiqing, and left the Liangjiang Mansion with Ma Qinghu.

"The villain has a will!"

Scolding at the empty lobby, He Guiqing immediately tore up the folded herbs in front of him, things are in trouble, this Yang Laosan turned his face and didn't recognize people!

Yang Meng turned his face This is just the beginning, in the next few days, He Guiqing was scared, he, the dignified governor of Liangjiang, was actually under house arrest in the hall of the Liangjiang Mansion, eating, drinking, and Lazar were all in this hall, Yang Laosan was going to rebel!

He Guiqing is just a dispensable bedbug for Yang Meng at present, it is simple to kill him, and it is simple to let him live, just a matter of words, if it were not for the fact that He Guiqing still has some uses in the future, Yang Meng would have killed him directly.

Now he wants to win the post of minister plenipotentiary, after all, the ultimatum of the four countries, the court still has to have an attitude, this is a step at present, for the future, this is the historical data, some things, Yang Meng can not care, but when it comes to things that are justifiable, it is necessary to be cautious.

is similar to Yang Meng's design, in the face of the non-division of the four countries, in the face of more than 10,000 people in England, the confidence of the four-color stick is also full, with more than 10,000 people and horses, thirty or forty warships, the foreign devil wants to support him, the supreme of the Qing Dynasty, this is a slap in the face!

For the all-ennipotentiary position of Yiwu invited by Yang Sange, the four-color stick is also atmospheric, not only promised this authority, but also added a clause to it, and recently has full authority to deal with Jiangnan military affairs.

To do this, the four-color stick is also suffering, the momentum of the long-haired thief, after getting Yingyi's foreign gun, has grown stronger and stronger, not only Zeng Zuo of Anhui and Jiangxi complained in the excerpt, but also the new minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang regimental training, Feng Guifen, also told the situation in the excerpt.

Yangyi intervened to cause Jiangnan to hang upside down, Manchu withered and almost useless people, and the two rivers that had been controlled by Manmeng ministers returned to He Guiqing, and Zhili belonged to Tan Tingxiang, and Jiangnan was the only one to rely on, and he, the emperor, trusted only one Yang Sange.

Looking at the south of the Yangtze River, now there is an official document of Hengchun and Lianghu in Yunnan and Guizhou, and there is no longer a Manchu minister, rather than using other Hanchen, it is better to rely on Yang Sange, after all, Yang Sange's loyalty and courage have been tested for several years, even if most of the Manchu and Mongolian ministers, there is no Yang Sange so loyal.

After getting the holy decree of the imperial court, Yang Meng could go to Shanghai openly, and explain the errand in Guangzhou to Ding Taichen and Yu Biao.

Since Yang Meng served as the minister of Nanyang, the momentum of Shanghai Province catching up with and overtaking Guangzhou has been curbed, and after Cen Yuying arrived, in view of the complicated situation in Shanghai Province, he has always followed Yang Meng's will and did not move. Just quietly developing. The power of the Yang family.

"From this day onwards. In the area of the concession to build an earthen wall barracks, Ma Qinghu's newly selected soldiers, under the banner of the militia group, trained around the concession, we don't care about the things within the concession for the time being, outside the concession, a qiē decree according to our order.

Yan Qing. As I intended, I intend to send a note to the Ministers. ”

Yang Meng came to Shanghai for nothing else, just to turn his face, to fight Shanghai, to occupy Shanghai, whether it is the Taiping army or foreign devils, they all have such ideas, but Shanghai is also a tricky place, the Taiping army, the official army, are entrenched in this vicinity. After Yang Meng came, he had to change this deadlock.

Pa Xiali and others met with He Guiqing. After negotiating for a period of time, they found that the diplomacy of the Qing State was controlled by the Yang Butang in Guangzhou, and many weaknesses of the Qing State turned into advantages under the means of Yang Butang, and Yang Butang was difficult, forcing the Qing government to change a diplomat, maybe they could find a breakthrough point.

However, it backfired, and after seeing the note sent by Shanghai Dao Cen Yuying, the ministers of the four countries knew that the idea of trying to coerce the Qing country by diplomatic means had failed.

But the meeting is a procedure that must be followed, and this meeting is the real war book, a war like Humen can be fought without a war, but attacking the Jingshi of the Qing State is a real war, and the advantage of public opinion, even if it is the four-nation alliance, must be mastered.

The meeting between Yang Meng and the envoys of the four countries was not held on land this time, but on a German merchant ship on the Yangtze River.

"Yang Butang, this is a secret conversation between our five countries, is it a little inappropriate for you to do this?"

The difficulty of Yang Butang lies in the fact that he is extremely familiar with the European code of conduct, and many things of various countries in the Qing State are not on the table.

"This is my country's territory, how to do things has the final say, after all, this time you are going to declare war, if you don't want to talk, please!"

For the people of Europe, it is undoubtedly more credible that the words of the ministers of the four countries are more credible, as long as they issue an official war letter, what to say in the future, it is their business.

But Yang Meng will not give them such an opportunity, and with this peace talk, he will also intimidate other countries, go to war, whatever! But if you want a truce, it is not so easy, this war, the war will last for at least a few years, and the countries involved, at least Britain, France and Russia, if you don't get it right, after the war starts, it will not stop for decades.

Yang Meng's meaning is also simple, if he does not rise, he does not strive for the benefits worthy of the truce, even if he fights for 30 years, 50 years, or 100 years, even if more than half of the population of the Qing Dynasty is killed or injured, for the sake of the future pattern, Yang Meng can accept it.

The victims of the war are not the parties that are being started to war, many things have to go to the direction of the war, the worst result, Yang Meng has predicted, is nothing more than the complete slaughter of the loser group, with the weapons that the Yang family has stored so far, which country does not have the strength to slaughter the Qing Dynasty, as for which country is slaughtered, it depends on the trend of the war.

"Yes!"

A declaration of war was necessary, and after a short discussion, Pashali replied.

"There are still conditions in the main department, the time of this meeting is set for five days, the first day must be said to each other's demands, and then a group of reporters will be released, as for the final result? Presumably, both of us have a good idea of it. ”

Pa Xia Li agreed lightly, it was nothing more than to stop the reports of reporters from various countries afterwards, playing this, Pa Xia Li and others were born more than a hundred years later, and some things came clearly, which would be of greater benefit to Yang Meng.

"We're going to talk about it."

"There is no need to discuss, the waterway of the Yangtze River has been blocked, and without the order of the headquarters, even carrier pigeons cannot fly out, obstructing the reporting of journalists from various countries, you do not have this condition.

If you want to talk about it, you can come to the row of the main hall, but if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to talk about it after that! ”

Yang Meng's statement, Paxia Li is accepted, the Qing country's diplomacy and speech are in the hands of this Yang Butang, if you don't defeat the Qing army, I'm afraid Yang Butang's words are the truth.

"Yes!"

hatefully agreed to Yang Meng's suggestion, and in Ba Xiali's heart, he hated and poisoned this clever Yang Butang.

The conditions for negotiation, the four countries are very simple, it is nothing more than amending the treaty, ceding land, and paying compensation, and if you don't agree, you will go to war, which can be regarded as a normal declaration of war.

Yang Meng's subordinates copied dozens of copies of the conditions of the four countries, and after the two sides confirmed that they were correct, Yang Meng distributed these conditions to reporters from various countries.

"In response to these terms, my attitude is that I will never agree to them!

If there is a war, there will be a war, and after the war, we will also have a principle: no negotiations! Don't surrender! Not to be surrendered! After the start of the war, unless one side is completely defeated, our country will not cease the war!

The conditions for complete defeat are also simple, that is, the collapse of the governments, and we will only negotiate with the new governments of each country!

This is our principle and condition, the war launched by the four countries is a war of aggression, and our country will not stop the war no matter what the conditions are until adequate compensation is received!

This is what the Ministry wants to say, the content of this negotiation, the four countries want to keep it secret, journalists, if you want, you can take the first step, the Ministry of Education will guarantee that you will return to your homeland safely, otherwise the persecution against you will come from the ministers of the four countries! ”

Yang Meng's words undoubtedly mean a large-scale war, the reporters present, who can come to the Qing Dynasty, are all to get ahead, many people know the cunning of politicians, after leaving a dozen people, Yang Meng also smiled, the negotiation was completed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the negotiation is over here, let's drink and enjoy the remaining days!

As for you four countries, go back in five days and prepare for war! ”

Who started the war, it is clear after looking at the conditions of the four countries, if they do not agree, it will be war, and it is their own choice to go to war, and no one should complain about their own life when the time comes.

"Yang Butang, what about the negotiation?"

"Negotiations? Naturally, it's over, we can't agree to your conditions, and all that's left is war, isn't that what you think?

As for what the headquarters said, it is just our principle, as soon as the war starts, the initiative is in our hands, and our purpose is very simple, that is, revenge!

For a year, our side did not have the conditions for a counteroffensive, and the war lasted for a year; Ten years, our side did not have the conditions for a counteroffensive, and the war lasted ten years; If you don't have it for a hundred years, then it will last for a hundred years.

If the war is not burned to the territory of your four countries, the war will not end, this is the answer to you from the headquarters on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, wash your neck and wait!

Now that the war has begun, congratulations, you have started a world war involving tens of millions of people! Half the world will weep because of our choice today, and the pace of war will not stop until our goal is achieved!

Hahaha...... The world war started in the Qing Dynasty, and the number of deaths in the future is likely to be calculated in tens of millions, so let's have a toast! You have opened the Pandora's box of war, and I hope that it will end in our lifetime! ”

Yang Meng, who raised his glass and laughed wildly, was crazy, his statement was beyond everyone's imagination, but many people here still regarded this statement as a shout, and they were just unwilling! No matter how terrifying the words are? Qing is just a declining empire after all! (To be continued......)
