097 Hiding from the world
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The art of war has clouds, and if you can show it, you can't show it, and if you can't, I say these words to the ears behind you." ”
Chen Fei asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by the ears behind your back?" ”
Lin Yuan smiled: "Of course it's those Japanese spies lurking around them." ”
Looking at Chen Fei's blank face, Lin Yuan said: "In our time, later generations studied a series of files of the First Sino-Japanese War declassified by Japan, and found that Japanese spies were almost all over China, and they could obtain our information anytime and anywhere, such as the number, number, equipment, and location of the Chinese army; Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Tianjin Machinery Bureau, these arsenals can make how many guns, how many catties of gunpowder, how many bullets per day. ”
"What's more, many spies are even lurking around high-level personnel, such as Li Hongzhang's cronies, who have been bribed by the Japanese.
Chen Fei said: "But crossing the desert to attack the enemy, this method is impossible at first glance, and the Japanese will definitely not believe it." ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "If this method is proposed by others, then no one will believe it, if I propose it, the Japanese may believe it." ”
Lin Yuan is right, and it is the same around us, if an ordinary person says that he can do something that everyone thinks is impossible, everyone will think he is crazy, but if it is replaced by a very capable person, everyone will be suspicious.
At this moment, his subordinates reported that Li Zhongtang had returned from Tianjin and wanted to see Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan hurriedly followed Chen Fei to Li Hongzhang's residence, Li Hongzhang's dress was still very casual, which was also one of his styles of commanding his subordinates, and he treated his officials like a parent.
As soon as Li Hongzhang saw Lin Yuan, he said: "Mr. Lin, Song Qing and the others have told me, is it not appropriate for you to insist on attacking the Russians first and passing through the desert?" ”
Lin Yuan caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man standing next to Li Hongzhang at a glance, Lin Yuan glanced at him a few times and did not speak.
Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "This person's name is Dai Jingchun, he is my cronie, and he has been following me, so it doesn't matter if you have anything to say." ”
When Lin Yuan heard this name, his heart moved, this person could be bought by the Japanese!
It is a huge and painful mystery how many Chinese secretly provided intelligence to the Japanese during the Sino-Japanese War!
So Lin Yuan said: "Lord Zhongtang, this is exactly my plan, the art of war has clouds, with the right fit, with the odd victory, so I thought of such a method, I also know that it is extremely difficult to do this, but I have already thought of a way to not only cross the desert, but also defeat the Russians." ”
Li Hongzhang saw that Lin Yuan was full of confidence, so he didn't say more, after all, what Lin Yuan did before gave people the illusion that he was almost omnipotent.
As soon as Lin Yuan left, that Dai Jingchun immediately sent the information to the Japanese.
Lin Yuan went to see Emperor Guangxu, his deeds have spread in the Forbidden City, everyone knows that he is now the queen mother and the emperor in front of the red man, the queen mother Lafayette also gave him a big mansion, so it is very easy for him to see Emperor Guangxu.
The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties usually read the chapters in the Qianqing Palace, Lin Yuan came to the door, only to see an old eunuch coming over, and said with a smile: "Lord Lin, don't go in yet." ”
Lin Yuan asked, "Is something wrong?" ”
The old eunuch said, "The Holy One is making a fuss inside, and it's not the Japanese who are making trouble." ”
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go in and take a look." Lin Yuan didn't let anyone inform, pushed the door in, and saw several eunuchs kneeling on the ground, trembling slightly, as if kneeling on thin ice that would break at any time.
At this time, Emperor Guangxu saw Lin Yuan coming in and said: "Lin Aiqing, you came just in time, you look at this Japanese, it's too unreasonable, obviously occupying our place, and actually having the face to ask us for storage fees!" ”
Lin Yuan took the piece, and the traditional characters on it and the way of writing vertically made him look at it for a long time. It turned out that Japan put forward the conditions for peace talks, and Shengjing could be returned to the Qing court, but 30 million taels of silver had to be paid as the cost of maintaining law and order during the Japanese army stationed in Shengjing!
There is also a clause below, leasing Lushunkou for a period of 199 years, and some other terms, such as the establishment of Sino-Japanese cooperative ore in Hubei Daye, and the iron ore, copper ore and other minerals produced are given priority to Japan, which is a country with a shortage of natural resources, so it must import raw materials needed for various industrial production from abroad.
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Don't be angry, this may not be an opportunity for us. ”
Emperor Guangxu asked, "Opportunity?" What chances? ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "We pretend to negotiate with the Japanese to give the Japanese a feeling that we will not send troops to attack them." ”
Emperor Guangxu said in surprise: "Didn't you originally go to fight the Russians first?" ”
Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "How is this possible? We couldn't have crossed that desert. ”
Emperor Guangxu nodded in understanding and said, "This is called a soldier who does not get tired of cheating, right?" I'll talk to the Japanese and make them think that we want to make peace. ”
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, and Emperor Guangxu said again: "Lin Aiqing, do you know the story of Han Xin?" I plan to follow Han Gaozu and worship on the altar, what does Aiqing think? ”
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Spend the money on this, it's better to equip the troops with a few more guns." Just as I wanted to refuse, a plan was formed in my heart.
Two days later, in a high-end Japanese guild, Sakurai Wakami was at a loss, and she said to the spy leader Toyamamitsu, "Does this Lin Yuan really have a way to cross the desert to defeat the Russians?"
Tou Shanman said: "He is Lin Yuan, think about what he did, which one could be predicted by ordinary people?" Let's not talk about the performance in the last war, just the recent events, in Tiren Pavilion and Emperor Guangxu don't know what to say, so that Emperor Guangxu has great trust in him, and he can blow up the mountain, I think most of this matter is done by those things that can fly, and there is also the fact that one person can drink so many people, and he is still like nothing has happened, I think this Lin Yuan may really have a way to do what he said. ”
Sakurai Wakami said: "Didn't the Qing Emperor want to negotiate peace with us? ”
Toushanman said: "The emperor of the Qing State has roughly agreed to the terms of our peace talks, spent money to redeem Shengjing, and agreed to lease Lushunkou to us, it is a taboo for soldiers to face two enemies at the same time on one battlefield, so I judge that the Qing court should not go out to attack us." ”
Soon, a telegram was sent back to Japan, and it was written that Toyama Man's judgment on the Qing court's troops: the Qing court would not attack the Japanese in Shengjing.
