It takes an hour to wait for the resurrection after death, Chen Hao went offline and had dinner with Ban Qianqian, and then Shi Shiran entered the game. He first went to the nearby post office to write a letter to Bai Hu Demon, and asked Bai Hu Demon to rush to the capital immediately. The next thing is to watch Li Hongzhang's performance, as long as Li Hongzhang confirms the assassination of him by the Russians, his mission in the capital will be completed.

After completing the task, Chen Hao will leave the capital and return to Yingkou to establish a base area, and the negotiation will be conducted by the demons throughout the process. If he leaves this time, he will take away the subordinates in the dark passage, as well as the NPCs like Wang Wu who have not taken refuge in him, and if Liu Bang's people are willing to leave, they will also be taken away by the way.

Now the capital is still under the control of the coalition forces, and if you want to get out of the city smoothly, you have to rely on Li Hongzhang's cover, so you have to wait for Li Hongzhang to negotiate with the foreigners.

After discussions, the British minister Dou Nale and Hurd reached a consensus, believing that whether the Russians deliberately assassinated the Qing deputy envoy or not, this matter was a good thing for the British side. The Russians occupied Jilin in the northeast and were constantly moving troops to try to advance into Mukden and Heihe, and the British did not want to see the Russians continue to expand.

None of the other powers wanted to see Russia expand in Northeast China, especially Japan, which was equally ambitious in Northeast China. Today's Japan is not strong enough, and if Russia is allowed to occupy the northeast, the plan of the Japanese base camp to seize the northeast will not be completed. This assassination incident just gave the powers of various countries an excuse to put pressure on Russia.

The Russian minister, Gers, was furious when he received the news, and now Russia was privately courting the Qing court and trying to sign a separate agreement with the Qing state. At this juncture, the military sent someone to assassinate the Qing state's deputy negotiator, which would not only affect the signing of the contract with the Qing state, but also make Russia be squeezed out by the foreign powers.

Gers immediately asked the military to investigate the truth, and he quickly got the results. More than a dozen Russian soldiers were chasing the fugitives, and they happened to meet Chen Baxian, the deputy negotiator of the Qing State, so they shot him. These more than a dozen soldiers did not know Chen Baxian's identity, which means that the military did not send someone to assassinate him without authorization, and it was very likely to be a conspiracy.

Thinking that the military had found a reason to prevaricate after the assassination, Gers personally interrogated more than a dozen soldiers who killed Chen Hao, confirming that the military did not know. The killing of Chen Baxian, the deputy envoy of the Qing State negotiations, by more than a dozen soldiers, turned out to be an accidental incident, and the military suggested that this was most likely a conspiracy, and Chen Baxian, the deputy envoy of the Qing State negotiations, may have been killed on purpose, but Gers no longer wanted to continue to delve into this issue.

Regardless of whether Chen Baxian was killed on purpose or not, it is an indisputable fact that he died under the guns of Russian soldiers, and other countries will definitely take advantage of the topic. As he thought, he had just returned to the consulate, and the British minister, Dou Nale, came to the door with ministers from other countries and asked the Russian minister for an explanation.

Dou Nale said with a regretful face: "Your Excellency Gers, your country's assassination of the Qing country's deputy envoy for negotiations has angered the Great Qing State. The Minister Plenipotentiary of the Qing State has already refused to negotiate, which will harm the interests of other countries, and I hope that His Excellency the Minister will solve the problem as soon as possible. ”

Minister Geers smiled and said: "Everyone, now we are standing on the land of the Great Qing Kingdom, and it is the Great Qing Kingdom that is in a hurry to negotiate, and this will not affect our negotiations. ”

Dou Nale shook his head and said: "That's really a pity, Lord Li Hongzhang has already issued a statement that if Russia does not apologize for the assassination of the deputy envoy of the Qing negotiations, it will refuse to negotiate with Russia." It is not in our interest to continue to be at war with the Qing State, and if His Excellency Gors thinks that the assassination of the Qing negotiators is irrelevant, we will set aside Russia and negotiate with the Qing State. ”

After Li Hongzhang explained the situation to Dou Nale, he immediately sent a telegram to the Empress Dowager Cixi to explain the situation and issued a statement. Li Hongzhang said that he would respect Britain and France and other powers and start negotiations with other countries, but would not negotiate peace with Russia until the Russians apologized. After reaching an agreement with the various countries, the Qing government would continue to fight the Russians.

The Qing court had such confidence because several big victories in the northeast made Cixi feel that the Russians were not terrible, and that Britain and France and other powers could win by pouring the strength of the whole country into fighting the Russians after retreating. The Qing court's attitude towards Russia made Gers furious, but if such a situation did occur, it would be a disaster for Russia, and he had to be cautious.

Russia is riddled with contradictions at home, and economically far from Britain and France, but the polar bear has a great appetite and territorial ambitions in Europe and Asia. When the coalition forces attacked China, the Russians transferred a large number of troops to the northeast and fought several defeats, if Britain and France and other countries left Russia and reached an agreement with the Qing state, and the Qing country directly started a war with the polar bear, it would be even more difficult for the polar bear to occupy the northeast.

Minister Geers had no choice but to regret and said: "My country deeply regrets the assassination of Chen Baxian, the deputy envoy for the Qing negotiations, which is a misunderstanding, and I am willing to apologize on behalf of the military." ”

Minister Dou Nale said with a smile: "The Qing government requires your country to publicly apologize for this matter and withdraw from the scope of the Great Qing State after reaching an agreement, which is the bottom line of the negotiations. ”

"Nope."

Minister Geers did not hesitate to refuse, and Russia's interests lay in the northeast, and the tsar wanted to get it from the negotiating table if he failed to occupy the northeast militarily. If this condition is agreed, Tsarist Russia has not been able to get the corresponding benefits by spending so many troops this time, and it cannot agree to it in any case.

Minister Dou Nale shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since your country and the Qing State cannot reach an agreement, then it is better to negotiate with the Great Qing State alone!" Isn't that what your country has always hoped for? ”

Knowing that the other powers did not want to see Russia occupy the Northeast, Russia had been trying to negotiate separately with the Qing court and reach an agreement with the Qing court on the Northeast. The other powers had been worried about this problem, but now that the Qing court was clearly directed against Russia, Britain was relieved, and Dou Nale used this article to ridicule the Russian minister.

Historically, Russia actually occupied the entire Northeast in a vain attempt to make the Qing court submit and recognize its sovereignty over the Northeast, and the Qing court was forced to ask for help from the foreign powers under Russian pressure to force Tsarist Russia to withdraw its troops. In the game, the plot of the Northeast has changed the most, the entire land of China is erosive, only the Northeast is the only one, and the Qing government is not worried about Russia.

Even if the Northeast was defeated a few days ago, the entire Jilin was occupied by Russia, so that the Empress Dowager Cixi chose to negotiate peace. But that doesn't mean that the Empress Dowager Cixi is afraid of Russia, what she is really afraid of is Britain, France and other countries, and if other powers withdraw from the land of China, they are not afraid to deal with Russia Cixi alone.

When Cixi issued an edict to Li Hongzhang, she said that the northeast was the land of Longxing of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and she absolutely could not agree to Russia's conditions in the northeast. After Chen Hao and Li Hongzhang planned the assassination to isolate Russia, the Empress Dowager Cixi called back to praise Li and Chen for their beautiful work, and at the same time expressed high praise for Chen's behavior of sacrificing his life for righteousness.

Cixi called back and agreed to Chen Hao's recommendation of Bai Hu Demon to serve as the new deputy envoy for negotiation, and at the same time asked Chen Hao to continue to act in charge of the affairs of the Yingkou Zhili Hall, and wait until Cixi returned to Beijing to be rewarded separately. Chen Hao hung up in the game a total of twice, both times of active death, and these two deaths could bring him immeasurable benefits.

After the Russian Siberian Second Army occupied Jilin, Fengxiang, the deputy capital of Aihui, and Shoushan, the general of Heilongjiang, all transferred troops to support Jilin. The Russians did not occupy an absolute advantage in Northeast China, and their confidence was not so strong, so they agreed to withdraw from Northeast China under pressure from the great powers, but when to withdraw had to be decided during negotiations.

Chen Hao had been waiting in the secret passage, and after the Russians relented and agreed to apologize for the assassination, he left the secret passage with his entourage. He arrived at Xianliang Temple at the time announced by Li Hongzhang, and the ministers of various countries had gathered, and after he sat in the position of deputy envoy for negotiations, the Russian minister Geers apologized to him on behalf of Russia for the assassination.

Since Inhuman is immortal, he can personally accept the apology from the Russians. After the Russian minister apologized, Chen Hao, who became the focus, waved his hand generously and said: "I know that there are many people in your country who want me to die, but I hope to defeat me on the battlefield. ”

Chen Hao's words are quite pretend-to-be, but the Russians can't find the slightest fault. After he accepted the Russian apology, the world's major newspapers reported on the incident, putting him in the spotlight again. Many newspapers directly quoted him as saying to the Russian minister, and he was not shocked by the writer's pen, and smiled at the inferior assassination methods of the Russians, which raised his whole image a lot.

"Player Chen Baxian, congratulations on completing the task 'Blame the Russians' issued by the Governor of Zhili and Minister of Beiyang, and the white demon you recommended has become the new deputy envoy for negotiations, and you can return to Yingkou to continue your post."

After a large number of newspaper reports, Chen Hao's reputation rose by five points again, which made countless players go crazy with jealousy. When he accepted the imperial court's will to serve as the deputy envoy for negotiations, people like Guan Ning and Sanshengshi were waiting to see his jokes, and Sanshengshi even contacted the newspapers, preparing to wait for Chen Hao to cooperate with Li Hongzhang to sign the "Xinchou Treaty", so that these newspapers would carry out a large negative report on him.

It's just that things didn't develop according to the ideas of these enemies at all. After the Russians apologized, the media's opinion was that Chen Ba fought too hard first, and the Russians would assassinate him because they were afraid of him. The Russian minister's apology to Chen Hao made the people feel a sense of pride, so Chen Hao was portrayed as a national hero by reporters.

Chen Hao got far more than five prestige attribute point rewards, and this incident made the hero aura on his body brighter, and it would be much easier to subdue NPCs. Now he is still a Qing court official, and this effect is not obvious, and when the revolutionary party is moving around, he is definitely the target of the main court.
