"Ahem, Mr. Zhao!" Yuan Weiting said loudly.

The room was quiet, and a group of students waited until they saw Yuan Datou, and they didn't dare to come out.

This is a man of the hour, who doesn't know who doesn't know about the small station training?

Zhao Chuanxin only drank a little rice wine, even if he was shallow, he was far from drunk.

"Haha, Yuan Xiangcheng, come in."

Yuan Datou was born in Xiangcheng, Henan, and was also called Yuan Xiangcheng by the people of the time.

He is now forty-nine years old, and Zhao Chuanxin looks to be in his thirties even with his beard.

A group of students looked at this picture and felt a little weird.

Yuan Datou did not dare to be the slightest dissatisfied.

Zhang Renjun entered the door from behind, hugged his fists and said, "I have long admired Mr. Zhao's name, and the old man Zhang Renjun." ”

As we all know, he can't pretend to be forced with Zhao Chuanxin, and he claims that his official will be cut if he doesn't do it well.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the white fat old man: "How does your figure look like a corrupt official?" It's better to be famous than to meet. ”

Zhang Renjun was not restrained at all: "Mr. Zhao said that he laughed, only those who are not discouraged can have a wide heart, a fat body and a face like a crown of jade." ”

"Wow......" Zhao Chuanxin vomited: "You old guy is disgusting to me." ”

Zhang Renjun laughed.

Yuan Datou looked at Zhang Renjun in surprise: "Zhang Qianli, have you met before?" ”

Zhang Renjun twisted his beard and smiled: "No." ”

"By letter?"

"No, I didn't."

"Then you ......"

Why do the two look familiar?

Zhao Chuanxin laughed: "Qiangzi, quickly clean up the table, serve tea and pour water." It's better not to wait, in case Yuan Xiangcheng becomes the emperor in the future, he won't give you small shoes? ”

Liu Huaqiang was frightened, can this joke be made?

Yuan Datou's eyelids jumped......

At this point, he didn't have that idea.

But this sentence inexplicably touched one of his nerves.

He smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Zhao, don't be funny, don't be funny." ”

He was very weak-hearted, and glared at the students in the room viciously.

It means - whoever dares to spread this word, Lao Tzu will kill you.

He said, "Go out first!" ”

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand: "Stay, there is nothing to see." ”

Yuan Datou was helpless, so he had to say: "Mr. Zhao, you have caused a big disaster for the imperial court. You are happy, but the court has endured everything. ”

Zhao Chuanxin's face was full of sorrow: "Hey, comfort pavilion." The imperial court at least took everything, but Zhao had nothing. ”

"......" When Yuan Datou breathed, he looked a little heavy because he was too fat. Mr. Zhao, stop it. On the way here, Yuan saw that the people's livelihood in the concessions was withering, and they were no longer prosperous. Your ambition is understood by the people and gentry of the whole country, but if you continue to make trouble, it is the economy of Hankou that suffers, and the economy is related to the people's livelihood. ”

"Hey......" Zhao Chuanxin's face was full of bitterness: "Comfort Ting, who said no, I am also a loyal victim of the great powers!" Go and persuade the great powers, therefore, to hand over the land and the silver quickly. The hearts of the people of Hankow and I are limited, and we are very fragile. ”

Zhang Renjun next to him couldn't laugh.

The officials of the Qing Dynasty are not all soft bones.

At least Zhang Renjun's performance is still commendable when dealing with foreigners.

Yuan Datou glanced at Zhang Renjun, who had a strange face, and gave him a look.

Zhang Renjun covered his mouth with his fist and coughed: "Although you and I have never met, we have been friends for a long time." Do you have a table for salary? ”

"Yes." Zhao Chuanxin said: "The word charcoal burner." ”

The faces of everyone in the room turned strange.

A group of students standing with their hands tied and very restrained, some covering their mouths and laughing, some coughing......

Zhang Renjun Wan'er: "Okay, the old man has the courage to give you a table word!" If you don't say charcoal, charcoal burning, passing on the salary to the fire, what is the meaning of heating China? ”

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up, blanched, a bit of a level, Lao Tie!

Passing on the salary to the charcoal burner, a fisherman with a strip of water, that is just Zhao Chuanxin's joke.

There is one less word for charcoal workers and charcoal burners, and the four words "heating China" feel more than high-end?

In this era, people with heads and faces have table words.

Zhang Renjun saw that he did not object, so he said: "Charcoal worker, do you usually care about family and country affairs?" ”

"Yes, why not?" Zhao Chuanxin's face was full of worry: "I often worry about the country, a worry is a night, not the end of the worry, but the dawn." ”

Zhang Renjun laughed: "It's okay, doesn't the big cannibal have a story, one thousand and one nights, there is no night without thinking, one day you will understand." But at present, the problem of several concessions in Hankou is imminent. The old man arrived in Hankou yesterday and had contact with the representatives of the concessions first. According to the old man's observation, they were not twisted into a rope. The way to solve the problem does not have to be confined to war. Why don't you break through with the Russians first? ”

"Huh?" Zhao Chuanxin finally heard some constructive thoughts: "Why don't you talk about it all the time?" ”

Zhang Renjun twisted his beard: "The Russians seem to have the intention of ceding land and paying compensation, Dabanov actively communicates with the country, and Tsarist Russia wants nothing more than three things, first, we must leave enough room for them; Second, the indemnity should not be excessive, and Dabanov, on behalf of Tsarist Russia, is willing to pay you 50,000 oceans; Third, the compensation for land cession must change their reputation, and they need to have face. The land is called land return, and the compensation is called refund......"

Zhao Chuanxin understands in seconds, isn't this the same as Gengzi refund in the United States?

The difference is that the United States has other plans, and the refund from Tsarist Russia, they will not get anything here with Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin has two purposes, the first is to get money, and the second is to get land.

The acquisition of the land was not important to him at this time, and he was more concerned about the impact of this matter.

For example, tell the people that the great powers count a few handfuls, and if they lose, they will give the lord money and land!

The whole world knows what's going on, Tsarist Russia still has to make superficial articles, and Zhao Chuanxin doesn't mind at all.

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up: "Yes!" ”

Yuan Datou looked at Zhang Renjun in surprise, why didn't the old guy talk to him beforehand?

Zhang Renjun was in his chest, ignored Yuan Datou, and continued: "Good! Since the Russian Concession was willing to return the land and refund the money, the alliance had already been broken. There is no shortage of intrigue among the great powers, charcoal workers, how do you think Britain, France, and Japan will feel? ”

Zhao Chuanxin said compassionately: "Actually, I am a kind-hearted person, and I advocate both love and non-aggression the most. Tomorrow at noon, the three-day deadline is approaching, hey, I hope Britain, France, and Japan will not let me challenge my weakness. ”

Yuan Datou: "......"

Zhang Renjun said: "It's okay, Ba Gong has already brought the money and the contract, just downstairs." That who ......"

Zhang Renjun pointed to the student.

"Me? Governor Zhang, I, my name is Liu ...... Hua Qiang. ”

"Liu Huaqiang, you go downstairs and call Ba Gong to come, and the contract will be finalized tonight."

Liu Huaqiang looked at Zhao Chuanxin, and Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand.

Not long after, Dabanov and his entourage carried the boxes upstairs.

When the silver dollar of the white flower was displayed, the students in the room were blinded.

Zhao Chuanxin kicked the box to the side, didn't look at it, and stretched out his hand: "I'll take a look at the contract." ”

Dabanov gave it to him with a smile, and Zhao Chuanxin took it and took a look.

In 1895, the Qing government and Japan signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, ceding the Liaodong Peninsula to Japan.

Russia, Germany, and France united and warned Japan to return Liaodong to the Qing court.

They call it "persuasion".

After the three countries raised their fists to persuade them, Japan swallowed their anger and spit out the fruits of victory.

However, Japan, the aggressor, still felt deeply "humiliated."

This incident also laid the groundwork for the later Russo-Japanese War.

At that time, because of the persuasion of Russia and France, they asked the Qing court for a concession in Hankou.

From Boundary Road to Yiyuan Road, it is 288 zhang long, as the concession area they chose together. The Russian Concession accounted for two-thirds, and the French Concession accounted for one-third.

The Russian Concession is connected by the British Concession on Boundary Road, to Wilson Road in the French Concession, plus a section of Yima Street, and the overall look looks like "L".

Big Banov, the lower horizontal of the "L", gave Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin shook the contract: "Wrong, I want the road with a large area, not Yima Street." ”

He had already planned that all the parts connected to the Russian Concession and the British Concession would be returned, and that the British, French, and Japanese concessions would be connected at that time.

Big Banov's eyes widened: "No, no, no, my friend, by all means. ”

Zhao Chuanxin's squinted eyes suddenly stared.

He stepped forward, and the overwhelming feeling of oppression hit him, and Big Banov retreated in horror.

Zhao Chuanxin took the contract and pointed at Dabanov's chest: "Thinking that you Tsarist Russia took the initiative to surrender, Lao Tzu is very face-saving, I advise you not to make mistakes!" ”

Zhao Chuanxin was killed, Yuan Datou retreated, and the students retreated...... Everyone believed that if Big Banov said half a "no", he would be splattered with blood on the spot!

Only Zhang Renjun is full of unfathomable face.

He seemed to see through Zhao Chuanxin's thoughts......
