Chapter 35 The Bottom Line of Negotiations
A group of five people came to the agreed negotiation place, and Yang Xiaolin was already waiting for them in the tunzi.
The county magistrate of Tonghua is also there, and the county magistrate is a little apprehensive that he can participate in such an important meeting, and he was panicked for a night after receiving Zhao Erxun's secret letter, and he still doesn't know what he should say at this meeting. When Zaitao walked into the tunzi, the county commander was asking Yang Xiaolin for advice on what attitude he should have towards the Russians, Yang Xiaolin told him not to do anything deliberately, to be calm, and he didn't need to say anything, he just sat on the chair and sat down. It's better not to express any opinion on such a thing.
The county order had just been answered, and as soon as he saw Zaitao come in, he immediately forgot Yang Xiaolin's explanation to the clouds, ran out in a few steps, flicked his sleeves twice and knelt down: "Zhou Debao, the county commander of Xiaguan Tonghua Qipin, please say hello to the prince!" Greetings to all of you! ”
Zaitao originally wanted to wave him up, but when he heard that he was still with all the adults, he ignored him at all, strode into the house, and after the few people who accompanied him entered the door, he turned around and closed the door. The county commander was stunned outside the door, he regretted not listening to Yang Xiaolin at this time, he was still kneeling, and the prince closed the door, so that he didn't know what to do below.
Get up, knock on the door and get in? That violated the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty.
Just kneeling? The eyes around him made him a little embarrassed! Sweat seeped down his forehead.
Yang Xiaolin leaned on the chair in the room and didn't get up at all, holding a burning cigarette in his mouth, and after Zaitao closed the door, he hugged Zaitao with both fists: "Lord Wang, the grass people have also asked you to say goodbye." ”
This is the first meeting between Yang Xiaolin and Zaitao. Zaitao glanced at him twice: "Don't mind, I can't afford it!" Yang fights ghosts, you are good enough, and I hope that you will not make trouble for you in the future! ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "How dare I, if you don't come to fight me in Fengtian, I will ask God to worship the Buddha, the head of the grass man is tied to the muzzle of the master's gun, and your fingers will fly as soon as you move." ”
Zaitao glared at him: "Yang fights ghosts, I came to play with you and these Russians this time, and you guys will end up playing well." can tell the truth, the lord still values you a little bit in his heart, if you are really willing to serve the court, the lord can protect you. As long as you go down the mountain and hand over your men and horses to me, I promise that I will never treat you badly, how about it? ”
Yang Xiaolin spit out a puff of smoke at Zaitao: "Thank you for lifting up, but the grass people's lives are cheap, and they can't be officials in this life." ”
Zaitao turned his head to avoid the smoke, and then stood up: "Nacheng, Ye has nothing to say, you can talk, talk to me." ”
Lanniko only spoke at this time: "Yang Xiaolin, let me introduce myself first, I am Colonel Lanniko, the military attache of the Russian Embassy, and I will be solely responsible for the negotiation with you this time, I hope we can have a happy cooperation." ”
As he spoke, his hand stretched out to Yang Xiaolin, Yang Xiaolin shook hands with him, and saw Domlik Sava who was sitting next to Lannico and had opened the book to record, he felt that this woman was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Domliksava never looked up. Yang Xiaolin didn't think about anything more: "Actually, there is nothing to talk about, you have thousands of my brothers' lives in your hands, as long as you are willing to let go, I have no other conditions, everything will be restored to before." ”
Lannico's hands were spread out: "I think Yang may have misunderstood, we don't want to restore everything to the way it was." Let's put it simply, the relationship between you and the Japanese makes us very uneasy, this is the main reason for this war, in order for us to start the war with the Japanese will not be destroyed by you again, we must find a way to get along, so that we can live together peacefully. ”…,
Yang Xiaolin glanced at Lanniko, this Russian is too talented, and he put the charge of war on his head at the beginning! Yang Xiaolin didn't distinguish either, flicked away the cigarette ash and said, "Go on." ”
Lannico said: "The most reassuring thing for us is the kind of plan that the prince just said, you hand over your troops to the Manchu court, and you leave Liaodong after you fight ghosts, of course, we will give you enough remuneration to let you live a life that others envy for the rest of your life." What do you think? ”
Yang Xiaolin didn't think about it at all: "Let's talk about the second plan." ”
His refusal was obviously expected by Lanniko, who opened his notebook, glanced at it and said: "The second plan is that you can stay in Liaodong, but in the future you will accept the command of our Russian army, and we will station commanders in your troops, and all the firearms and materials you need for combat will be provided by our Russian army, including your military salary." Of course, you can no longer have any independent income. ”
Yang Xiaolin snuffed out the cigarette butt, and then sighed: "This might as well be the first one!" ”
Lannico spread his hands: "Don't worry, we have a third plan, but that plan is relatively troublesome and may waste the time of both of us, I hope you can consider the two I said." ”
Yang Xiaolin let out a sigh of relief: "Colonel Lannico, let's talk about your third suggestion first." ”
Lannico said: "The third one is also our zuihou, you can continue to be your bandit, but your troops must all retreat back into Changbai Mountain, we will demarcate a designated area for you, in that area, even if you become the emperor, no one will care about you." This is a troublesome suggestion, because we have to demarcate an area for you, and I may have to make a trip to your Lun Mountain myself to see what you are capable of fighting, and frankly, we are not comfortable with the fact that you have so many heavy machine guns, and we have to destroy some of them. ”
Yang Xiaolin raised his palm and motioned for Lannico to stop talking, his hand touched his hair: "Mr. Colonel's words made me feel two feelings, I don't know if it's an illusion." First, how do I think you are offering these conditions to a defeated side? Looks like we're still fighting, right? ”
Lannico smiled and put down the notebook in his hand: "Yang fights ghosts, do you think you have a chance to win?" ”
Yang Xiaolin shook his head: "I also confessed, no." ”
Lannico nodded, "That's it." I chose to stop now, in fact, it is very beneficial to you, at least your Yulu Mountain is still there, and you are still fighting ghosts. If you continue to fight, it won't take you more than three days, and your mountain will be over. ”
Yang Xiaolin shook his head: "It seems that my second feeling is not an illusion, you are not here to negotiate at all, you are here to make an ultimatum." Because Mr. Colonel doesn't seem to intend to hear what I have to say. ”
Of course, Lanniko didn't come to give Zuihou an ultimatum, although he is young, he has been mixed up in diplomatic occasions for many years, and the bottom line of the Russians is not at all the three conditions he prescribed, Minister Yue Resar has already said that as long as Yang Dagui is willing to stop, do not touch the Russians to delineate some areas of interest, and draw a clear line with the Japanese with practical actions, the Russian army can acquiesce in the existence of Yang Dagui's shili in Yulu Mountain, and his shili range before the war is still his, and all the Russian troops are withdrawn.
But diplomacy is like doing business, asking for a price to pay back on the spot, Lannico opened a sky-high price, hearing Yang Xiaolin's tone fluctuated a little, as if he was provoked by himself, he understood that this bandit did not understand the means of negotiation at all, let alone what diplomacy was.
Lannico shrugged his shoulders, "To be honest, I wasn't ordered to listen to you. But I still want to hear you say, if your opinion is reasonable, I will consider Xiangshang Feng to report. ”…,
Yang Xiaolin's chest rose and fell twice, as if he was very angry. As soon as Lannico's words fell, he stood up: "Do you want to report back?" The colonel can't be the master, can he? Well, let's talk about it later. ”
After he finished speaking, he strode out of the door, Lannico's face suddenly changed, the right given to him by the peak in the negotiation conditions was very large, but there was not much time, as soon as he saw that Yang Dagui was leaving, Lannico immediately shouted: "Yang Dagui, is this your sincerity in negotiation?" ”
Yang Xiaolin didn't reply: "It's not that I'm not sincere, when do you come to someone who can call the shots, I'll come back at any time." Don't worry, as long as you don't do anything about the mountain during this period of time, I will never destroy your highway again. ”
This guarantee is not at ease for the Russians, just as Yang Xiaolin is not at ease with them. Lannico hurriedly glanced at Zaitao, signaling Zaitao to stop Yang Xiaolin, Zaitao sat on the chair and didn't move, pretending not to see it.
However, Zhao Erxun didn't want things to become too stiff, so he walked to the door and grabbed Yang Xiaolin's hand: "Yang fights ghosts, can you make the decision, you can only decide if you tell the matter, if you want half of Russia to talk about this colonel, even if the commander comes, he will not dare to agree to you." Let's say it first. ”
If Yang Xiaolin really wants to leave, can he actually hold it with one of Zhao Erxun's hands? The Russians are still playing tricks with themselves, and they can't afford to play anymore, but can they really afford to play? He just wanted to know how much his chips weighed! If they do the same thing for half a month as they did some time ago, it will be impossible for the Russians to restore the lines of communication to their previous capacity for at least three months, are they really not afraid?
This is Yang Xiaolin's only capital, and he wants to test whether the Russians are afraid, or how much the Russians are afraid.
When Zhao Erxun grabbed him, he had the answer in his heart!
The footsteps stopped at the door, and turned his head to look at Lannico: "Okay, my condition is that in the future, from the south of Siping, west of Fushun, all the way to Harbin, all the cities are yours, and I will definitely not touch them." But you can't stop me from developing in the countryside. ”
Hearing this, Lannico immediately scolded in his heart, it turned out that this Yang beating ghost knew how to repay the money on the spot, and he immediately understood, Yang Xiaolin was testing himself just now, and Yang Xiaolin succeeded, in the first round of confrontation between the two sides, he had already fallen behind, and he was found out the chips in his hand, and the future negotiations were troublesome!
Zhao Erxun obviously also understood that he had done a meaningless thing, he stood at the door and glanced at Zaitao with some embarrassment, the prince didn't move, what was he anxious about? He was afraid that Zaitao would blame him.
In fact, Zaitao didn't know about the methods used by Yang Xiaolin at all, although Yang Pian was not a diplomat, but psychology was still slightly involved. When I first joined the police force, I studied criminal psychology, and later worked as a police officer to mediate disputes between residents.
And Lannico obviously doesn't know anything about the discipline of psychology, and after being eaten steadily by Yang Xiaolin, he can only sigh and say: "Okay, let's be frank, we can't agree to your condition, but I can make some concessions on the basis of what I said before, you continue to be your bandit, but we must demarcate the scope of your shili outside Changbai Mountain, because it is related to whether we can live in peace in the future." ”
