Weibei didn't want to quarrel about what Kazakh county king was, it all depended on whether the Chinese would use this title to make trouble in Central Asia, if the Chinese wanted, he could lock this county king in Beijing, or put it in the city of Ili, or put it in the west of Yar to do evil, it all depends on the will of the Chinese, before Weibei was willing to start a long talk about this kind of false name owned by the Chinese, and Guo Songtao began to debate, but at this time, Weibei did not have the heart to take these into account, He understood that the Chinese took advantage of the unexpected death of Tsar Alexander II to make a move towards Russia.

One was the enthronement of the Kazakh king, and the other was the claim of additional troops on Lake Baikal.

The first is a name, but it can play a practical role, and the second seems to have a practical role, but Weibei clearly understands that this is just a fake action that the Chinese want to blackmail, but these two things are combined with the real and the virtual, and how to make the virtual into the real, or the real into the virtual, it all depends on China.

Vebe took a deep breath and no longer dwelled on the matter of the king of the Kazakh county, "The matter of Lake Baikal, I hope to discuss the details according to your country's method, we hope to speed up this process, and there are absolutely no additional conditions, the only condition is to ensure our Russian rule in Central Asia, except for the three existing khanates, absolutely no other national forces can be accepted, this is our final bottom line, I hope your country can abide by it." ”

Guo Songtao smiled with satisfaction, the Russians are sensible, clearly know the current situation, and never mention the division of Kashmir, so that the North Sea will become a preliminary treaty, and the matter of the king of Kazakh is only superficial, Tumudr Khan has long made it clear that he does not want to become a foreign vassal again, it is enough to be the leader of an inner vassal tribe, but the Empress Dowager Cixi still took him out to become a country, as for the king of Kazakh county, "I said that they have a relationship, that is, there is a relationship." The Empress Dowager Cixi's playful words came true.

"Then we can continue to negotiate," Guo Songtao said with a smile, stretching out his hand to let Wei Bei into the conference hall, "Regarding some other matters that your country is concerned about, we are also willing to provide convenience, of course, you also know our difficulties, this convenience is about not as great as before." ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Wei Bei asked suspiciously, "What kind of thing?" ”

Guo Songtao kept his mouth shut, smiled mysteriously and invited Wei Bei into the conference hall, the two sides talked secretly for a long time behind closed doors, even the lunch was sent in by Sula, until three o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the conference hall slowly opened, Guo Songtao walked out with a red face, obviously very satisfied with the results of the negotiations, unexpectedly for the ambassador Wei Bei, he actually did not hang his head, but his face was mixed with confusion and excitement and some impatient expressions, Sula looked at him very strangely, Guo Songtao personally sent Wei Bei out of the door, The two were still talking while walking, and while Wei Bei was waiting for the carriage, he watched a black gilt carriage quickly drive towards the palace gate of the Old Summer Palace - the office of the Prime Minister's Yamen was closest to the palace gate of the Old Summer Palace, Wei Bei stopped talking and watched a red-haired tuxedo man get out of the carriage and walk to the front of the palace gate to negotiate with the guards, "Is it the German ambassador?" Webey asked.

Guo Songtao glanced at the back of the red-haired man, "It's Ambassador Jonas." ”

"That is, your country didn't just find a helper from our Russia?" Wei Bei was in a good mood at this time, and he also joked towards Guo Songtao.

"Of course, the Chinese have an old saying, called a good man three gangs," Guo Songtao also said with a smile, "At any time, there is a lot of help for the righteous and little help for the unjust, and some countries hope that conflicts between our two countries will break out to weaken each other's national strength, of course, we do have a lot of disputes, but the ambassador and I certainly feel that these disputes can be resolved, and since we now have a common goal, then of course we can work together." ”

"I admit it, Lord Guo, see you tomorrow." Webbe lifted his hat and got into the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Webey looked around at the military attaché and counselors, and nodded, "The Chinese are really under great pressure, and this is also our opportunity," he instructed the military attaché, "immediately send a secret message to return to St. Petersburg, we must hurry up." ”

"Is it really necessary to reach an agreement with the Chinese?" Vebe's secretary said worriedly, "Of course, I'm not referring to the Baikal thing, but to the things that the Chinese asked us to do in exchange." ”

"There is nothing that is not okay, because we can get the land of Kashmir, and it is normal to help the Chinese in this way." Don't worry that they will go back, because they wrote me the promised agreement, and they don't dare to play with us with such a thing that falls on paper," Wei Bei took out the document, "We're just trying a little bit of effort......

The Empress Dowager Cixi summoned the German ambassador Jonas at the Qinzheng Palace, "Mr. Ambassador," she seemed to be in a very good mood, smiled at Jonas and asked about the current situation of the German imperial family, and then said, "I invite important people of your country to visit China at a convenient time through you, Mr. Ambassador. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely convey this news to China, His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to the friendship between the two countries, and hopes that the relationship between the two countries can go further."

"I think so too, please take a seat," the Empress Dowager Cixi asked Ambassador Jonas to sit down, this is the grass, the favorite place of Emperor Xianfeng in the past, daily life is here, not too formal, so the Empress Dowager Cixi met Jonas of Germany here, the two of them sat down as the guest of honor, and the palace people served tea and gave Jonas a cup of coffee. Germans are proud to speak English, so Jonas's English conversation with the Empress Dowager Cixi is without any obstacles, and there is no need for any translator, but there is an interpreter from the Prime Minister's Yamen who is working hard to record the conversation between the two people.

"Then, your envoy talked about the relationship between the two countries, and I also think that the relationship between the two countries can go further," the Empress Dowager Cixi put down the teacup, thought for a while, and said to Jonas, "Then your country seems to have done nothing recently, especially the seizure of the warship sold to us by your country on the Suez Canal, I would like to remind your country in particular, the clause in the contract says that your country will be responsible for transporting it to the port of Tianjin, so that Westerners pay the most attention to the spirit of contract, and I have to say that your country may have to bear the responsibility for breach of contract in the future."
