In the south, Sun Gongwu, Huang Xing, and Shuangxi read the newspaper.

Sun Gongwu gasped: "This is amazing!" ”

Huang Xing read the newspaper repeatedly: "Then the British reporter, won't he be bought by Zhao Tangong?" Winter thunder and summer rain and snow are really exaggerated. ”

Shuangxi said angrily: "Isn't this all written, what's the point of deceiving people?" We don't have any seeds from Lugang Town, why don't you believe it? You believe it when you lose the salary? ”

Sun Gongwu patted Shuangxi's strong arm and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just, it's just, it's unbelievable." ”

Huang Xing suddenly thought of something, he looked at Sun Gongwu with burning eyes and said: "If it is true, then Zhao Tangong has mastered the soldiers, horses and wealth of the Hailar region, then ......"

Sun Gongwu immediately understood.

Hit the autumn wind and bury nails.

It's all the old tricks.

He said: "Contact immediately and find a way to contact Zhao Tangong." ”

……

In the Sauron Department, Zhao Chuanxin sorted out his coat and scarf and went out with a group of guards.

Katsufuku and Badang'a's eyes widened when they saw this.

Zhao Chuanxin and the guards have just been replaced.

Zhao Chuanxin was covered with a gray axe cotton coat on the outside, a wool coat, a silk and cashmere blend suit, a shirt, and Chelsea on his feet.

The nine-man guard behind him wore a gray axe coat on the outside, but no coat on the inside, and wore a suit directly.

The difference is that Zhao Chuanxin wears a cotton coat, but the rest of them wear sleeves to facilitate fighting at any time.

They all have horse cards pinned to their waists, which are a batch of "goods" purchased from Lugang Town.

Katsufuku and Batanga couldn't tell how they felt in their hearts.

If Zhao Chuanxin is asked to describe it, Zhao Chuanxin will definitely tell them - this is called forced qualification.

A group of people rode into Hailar, and the people on the side of the street were judging and pointing out the country.

"It's the Gray Axe."

"They defeated the Russian Cossack cavalry."

"It's majestic!"

"Hey, you see, they don't have braids behind their hats."

"It is said that Lord Zhao has never had braids."

The nine carefully selected guards all had their braids cut, but they weren't bald.

In fact, many people's yin and yang heads, if they are not regularly trimmed and scraped, look like a "wolf tail", and the forehead is hairy, which looks like a hairy inch.

If you shave your braids, you will be fine.

The sense of obscenity is gone, but it adds more refined temperament.

Zhao Chuanxin turned a deaf ear to the comments of others and turned a blind eye to pointing fingers.

The nine guards behind him looked nervously from side to side.

They are not pretentious, at this time, Hailar is mixed, according to the probability, the probability of Zhao Chuanxin going to the street to be assassinated by people is more than 80%.

However, I went all the way to the negotiation venue without incident.

Zhao Chuanxin and the others dismounted, and the patrol officer who had been waiting for a long time took the reins and helped tie them up, so as not to delay the escort work.

At the entrance of the venue, there were Russians who wanted to search for weapons.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand and slapped it.

Syllable......

", do I need to kill here? Something like a dog. ”

The man retreated.

Zhao Chuanxin walked to the door of the venue, his subordinates pushed the door open, took a look at it first and then retreated, and Zhao Chuanxin entered the venue.

He took off his coat to the man next to him and glanced into the room.

There are people who know and there are people who don't know on the Tsarist side.

Looking at the spectator seat again, there are all kinds of hair colors, straight, and curly hair, which have already occupied reporters from all walks of life.

In the end, Zhao Chuanxin looked at the Chinese representative, and the top person turned out to be Aixin Jueluo Yixuan......

He didn't recognize the second seat......

But Wu Luzhen stood behind that person, making Zhao Chuanxin guess that it was Xu Shichang.

Song Xiaolian, Huang Shifu and others naturally came.

This was the first meeting between Zhao Chuanxin and Xu Shichang, but it was at the negotiating table between Qing and Russia.

Zhao Chuanxin was the last to arrive.

And they were waiting for him.

Wu Luzhen was a little excited when she saw Zhao Chuanxin.

He knew that this person must not be a thing in the pool, and it was so.

Let's see, he defeated Tsarist Russia quietly, and even wanted to regain the lost land.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't sit down in a hurry, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and the people behind him hurriedly lit the fire.

Zhao Chuanxin came to the end of the long table and glanced at the people in the field.

His gaze was full of aggression, and those who saw it unnaturally looked away from him.

Zhao Chuanxin first pointed to the press gallery and said in English: "Without my permission, no one is allowed to take pictures, is it clear?" ”

No one answered.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth, took a few steps over there, held down the desktop, and said in a solemn tone: "I ask you, is it clear?" ”

"Clear!"

"Understood!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao."

The reporters wiped the cold sweat again and again, and replied.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded with satisfaction, returned to the negotiation table and asked, "Who arranged the seats?" I, Zhao Chuanxin, sit in the second seat, who the dares to sit in the main seat? ”

The Tsarist Russian side actually sat in the host's position, and Zhao Chuanxin's position was even more outrageous, I'm afraid that if Zhang Shouzeng hadn't deliberately vacated it, he would have sat at the end.

The air seemed to freeze.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the Russian side and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The man frowned, very dissatisfied with Zhao Chuanxin's rudeness and arrogance.

He leaned back in his chair and said lightly, "I'm Izvorisky, Foreign Secretary." ”

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the second seat and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Kosuo Weici, Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in the Qing Dynasty!"

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Very good, Kosovic, you will preside over the Russian side of today's negotiations." ”

Izvorisky scoffed: "You don't have the right to decide our ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly jumped onto the negotiation table, stepped up to Izvorisky in one step, grabbed the other party's collar, and raised his legs.

Click......

How brittle is this one?

Everyone clearly heard the sound of bones shattering, and then Izvorisky flew upside down, hit the wall and bounced, and after landing motionless, his eyes were wide open, his pupils were dilated, and blood was bleeding from his mouth and nose.

Zhao Chuanxin unbuttoned his suit, twisted his neck and looked at the wolf: "Now, the Russian side rolls to the right." Since you've lost the fight, whoever me and I'll let him die! ”

Naturally, the venue was also respectful of the left.

The venue was silent, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Is this a kick that a man can kick? I'm afraid the horse can't kick this force, right?

He really doesn't need a gun to kill, a kid with one kick!

At first, there was silence, and then there was a commotion, and there was a "creaking" sound of chairs shaking, and the Russian side left the table one after another, to change positions with the Chinese side.

Aixin Jueluo Yixuan shook his beard and gave up the main position.

Zhao Chuanxin glared at him: "Have you lived to be a dog?" Do you remember to eat or not? When you came to Hailar, you actually took my place? ”

It's really like training this old man like a dog, but Aixin Jueluo Yixuan doesn't dare to let go of a fart.

His son was stabbed miserably by Zhao Chuanxin back then, and he himself was stolen by Zhao Chuanxin's old nose money...... Although he was only skeptical, he felt that eight or nine were not far from ten.

He guessed correctly, Zhao Chuanxin's capital was stolen from him.

Xu Shichang's eyes widened.

I'm blanching.

I know you're crazy, I really don't know you're so crazy!

The madness is boundless.

Zhao Chuanxin sat down at this time: "Let's talk, Heyan, you come." ”

Zhang Shouzeng just wanted to speak, but he heard Song Xiaolian cough and said: "Zhang Shouzeng, the imperial court has a decree to go to the post of the general office of your Negotiation Bureau with Russia!" You're good to go. ”

Zhang Shouzeng's head "buzzed": "Xiaguan, Xiaguan ......"

It's so ruthless.

It is the highlight moment of the man's meritorious service, is it okay to take off the crown of a holy decree?

Zhang Shouzeng looked at Song Xiaolian, who was expressionless.

Zhang Shouzeng looked at Xu Shichang, Xu Shichang pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak, obviously he knew about this matter, and he couldn't help it.

Zhang Shouzeng looked at the Russian negotiators opposite, and they snickered vaguely gloating.

I wish there was infighting here.

In the end, Zhang Shouzeng looked at Zhao Chuanxin, and his voice was almost choked: "Lord Prefect ......"

During this time, he lived a very fulfilling life in Yubin Mansion.

These people are all doing things with their heads down, there is no intrigue, they are in the same boat, and they are busy every day.

At night, I usually fall asleep with my head tired and snoring.

In the most difficult time, several old men squeezed to sleep on the big kang full of sweat and sour feet, and some people could be woken up by elbows when they turned over at night. The next morning, the quilt must have disappeared and I was frozen awake, and I often went to work with snot like those snot babies.

Sometimes everyone is so busy that they forget to cook, and they wake up when they are hungry with their chests against their backs, and then they all come together: well, no one went to the kitchen.

And Yao Jia, a traitor, designated that he had prepared snacks for a long time, and secretly ate snacks when he didn't have anything to eat, so he didn't lose his mouth, he was the most treacherous, everyone lost weight, but he grew some meat.

Sometimes everyone is anxious and white-faced because of a quarrel, but they turn their heads and have to cooperate, and they meet with a smile and a grudge.

When Tao Ke Taohu attacked, no one was afraid, and they did it regardless of the civil and military guns.

The last time both civil and military had such a bloody nature may be in the Tang Dynasty, thinking about it, I feel that my blood is boiling, every time I drink alcohol, I can blow half a night's, although the Bin Mansion is a corner, but I dare to claim to be a great martial artist!

Seeing that he was about to see the light of day, well, the court took off his crown by a decree.

Zhang Shouzeng fell from a high-rise building into the bottomless abyss.

Zhao Chuanxin dusted off the ashes: "Harm, go to the top and wear it, what's the big deal?" ”

Zhang Shouzeng's heart really sank to the bottom: "The prefect ......"

But I heard Zhao Chuanxin say again: "The court has gone to your crown, and I will buckle you again." After all, our Yubin Mansion is autonomous, and the imperial court can't control who I appoint Zhao Chuanxin, right? ”

Rumble......

Zhang Shouzeng's blood was on his head, and he had a brain hemorrhage.

"Prefect ......"

He called out "Lord Prefect" three times, the first sentence was a prayer, the second was disbelief, and the third sentence was moving.

Only Xu Shichang lowered his head slightly, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

is a good Zhao charcoal worker, really treacherous.

I'm afraid this Shouzeng will follow him with all his heart in the future.

Looking at Zhang Shouzeng's crying appearance, Zhao Chuanxin was cold: "Don't be paralyzed, let's talk about it, I'm just listening." ”

The Russian side expressed doubts.

Are you listening, are you sitting on the throne?

You watched you kill?

However, Zhao Chuanxin was really listening.

Zhang Shouzeng regrouped his mood, and after regrouping, he went on the field, and even his Russian was more fluent, and he was unscrupulous.

When the Russian side tried to refuse, it always looked at Zhao Chuanxin first, and only after finding out that Zhao Chuanxin really didn't intervene all the time before he was relieved.

So the negotiation turned into a real human-like negotiation.

Journalists dutifully documented.

For about half an hour, the two sides stopped talking, and each muttered on the side.

Aixin Jueluo Yixuan looked at Zhao Chuanxin, which means: Do you want to discuss together.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't strangle him, and went to the window to smoke.

Since Tsarist Russia agreed to return Manchuria, then take a piece of land first, and then discuss it when Hailargu is in place, if it fails, it will be regarded as a great diplomatic victory." ”

Zhang Shouzeng saw that he was so breathless, so he smiled and asked, "Prince Qing, do you know, did we win?" ”

Aixin Jueluo Yixuan frowned: "Won?" It's just a small win. There are still tens of thousands of Tsarist Russian troops in the east......"

"Prince Qing knows that the prefect can destroy their railroad tracks at any time, and if they want to transport troops and artillery, they can only pass through the Daxing-Anling Mountains, we can calmly block the attack, they don't want to come in from the east side with a soldier and a cannon."

"You ......" Aixin Jueluo Yi's angry beard: "It's unreasonable, could it be that they can't come over?" How did Ben King come about? How did those journalists come about? ”

Zhang Shouzeng refused to let an inch: "You can come in because the prefect let you in, otherwise no one will be able to enter, and the telegram will not be available." In the Hailar area, whoever the prefect asks to come can come! ”

Xu Shichang was stunned.

Wu Luzhen was speechless.

Okay, you're Zhang Heyan, your wings are really hard.

These words are really rampant, and faintly not only have the meaning of looking down on Tsarist Russia, but also warn the Qing court: You are not good, and in the future, Zhao Chuanxin will be counted here.

Aixin Jueluo Yixuan was furious when he heard this, but the fact is also that Tsarist Russia can't get by, and it is even more difficult for the new army to come.

He asked sadly, "What about Siberia?" They are transporting troops from Siberia, and what can you do? ”

"The prince didn't know that the part of the Trans-Siberian Railway that went around Vladivostok was cut off by the prefect, and the section of the road to Baikal in the west was no longer open to traffic. As long as the prefect wants, he can cut the railway again at any time. ”

"What about walking? What about horseback riding? ”

"They've tried, it doesn't work, we'll stop it halfway, unless they invade Cullen."

Xu Shichang saw that Zhang Shouzeng actually had the courage to argue with Aixin Jueluo Yixuan, and saw that the two of them became stiffer and stiffer the more they talked, so he coughed and asked: "General Manager Zhang, tell me, how do you want to talk?" ”

He can see that the imperial court wants to participate in the negotiations, but the Yubin Mansion doesn't seem to want to take them back at all.

Zhang Shouzeng said categorically: "Expelling the Russian soldiers and road guards along the Manchurian-Chazhouli, Hailar and even Zha-Lantun railways, garrisoning our troops on the east and west sides, along the Ergun River and other places, the original Karen system will be abolished in Yubin Prefecture, and a new border guard horse team will be set up to guard the pass, and only Tsarist Russian railway workers will be allowed to enter and exit." Take back 4,500 square kilometers of land in the Dauria region north of Manzhouli! ”

The representative of the Qing court gasped.

Blanched, what a big appetite.

Aixin Jueluo Yixuan smiled angrily: "One standard for the horse team, one association for the infantry team, and one battalion for the artillery team?" You have so many soldiers? Where does the money come from? Do you have any ordnance? ”

"Yes, the armory is now full of pits, and the silver will soon be available. Of course, that's not my business. We are self-sufficient enough to feed an army of this size, and we must know that the prefect is to set up a permanent land gate in Manchuria and collect import and export taxes and silver. ”

"Nonsense!" Even Xu Shichang is not calm anymore. "Taxes and silver must be handed over to the overall planning and distribution, how can there be a reason for self-sufficiency? I have to talk to Zhao Tangong......"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shouzeng stopped Xu Shichang: "Your Excellency, don't bother our prefect, he is very busy and tired during this time." I am the sole proprietor of the negotiations, even though the Prefect is the same. We have a clear division of duties and powers, and the decisions we make will not be easily shaken. ”

Xu Shichang: "......"

Okay, okay, that's right?

Aixin Jueluo Yixuan and Xu Shichang still underestimated Zhang Shouzeng's inches.

Returning to the negotiating table, Zhang Shouzeng said to Kuo Suovic and Wu Sadi: "In addition to evacuating the troops stationed along the line from Manchuria-Li-Zha-Lantun, in addition to returning the 4,500 square kilometers of land in the Dauria region that belonged to us, you still need to pay 300,000 taels of silver in war indemnities, which are all included in the 'Outline'. ”

"What?" Kosovitz could scarcely believe his ears: "Reparations? ”

It has always been the Qing Dynasty's land reparations, and now Zhang Shouzeng not only asks them to cede the land but also pay compensation, and Kuo Suo Weici only feels that it is ridiculous to slip the world.

Wu Sadi sneered and said, "Don't you think these requirements are excessive? Even if troops are stationed along the railway, it is to protect our due rights and interests, and the withdrawal of troops is the maximum concession we can make......

"Serious trouble? Are you kidding? With our prefect here, what bandits dare to haunt the Hailar area? But we caught the horse bandits and spies, they said that your Tsarist Russia funded them to invade our Hailar, and we repelled them, and when the negotiations are over, hehe, the prefect will let the people of the entire steppe understand one thing, and there are some people you can't afford to offend! ”

"It's none of our business." Kuo Sovici stiffened the subject: "All in all, it is absolutely not feasible to pay compensation for land cession. ”

Song Xiaolian and Huang Shifu can't understand it now, and they can't participate in the negotiations.

The two looked at Zhang Shouzeng's performance with blank faces.

Not long ago, this kid was submissive, but at this time, he was full of energy and didn't take the world's heroes in his eyes.

Xu Shichang frowned and thought.

Seeing the stalemate of the scene, Aixin Jueluo Yixuan was anxious and wanted to speak repeatedly.

Because when she came, Cixi emphatically explained: "There is nothing that cannot be done, since you have been victorious, it is better to give up and get back together, but you must not provoke Tsarist Russia to start a full-scale war......"

But right now, Zhang Shouzeng is clearly aggressive, in case he is in a hurry, what should the Tsarist army really do?

He wanted to speak, but Zhang Shouzeng's mouth was too fast, and he immediately said strongly: "Your Excellency, do you know that the war is not over yet?" In my opinion, you are trying to leave Hailar on two legs. Give a word today, whether it will be successful or not. If not, the railway will be disconnected again, I guarantee that your Baikal railway will be destroyed, the telegram to Moscow will be disconnected, and I guarantee that your emperor will not be able to convey even the news in Moscow if he wants to send troops in Moscow. Your Obukhov steel plant will be destroyed, you don't want to produce any more 305-ton naval guns, your technicians at the optical accessories plant will be in danger of their lives, your torpedoes will explode in warehouses, and the aircraft engines you are developing will be gone! ”

Scald!

All the Russian negotiators, including Kosovici and U Sadi, stood on end.

At this time, the Obukhov Iron and Steel Plant, which Zhang Shouzeng said, had already contracted 70 percent and 30 percent of the equipment of the navy and army.

Aviation equipment is being developed, and the optical accessories factory is a secret, but I didn't expect Zhang Shouzeng to already know, it is a secret weapon to deal with Zhao Chuanxin.

Kosovic was dumbfounded, and immediately became angry: "You ......"

Zhang Shouzeng got up suddenly, leaned out and pressed his hands on the table, staring straight at Kuo Suo Weici: "In addition, the amount of compensation has been changed, 300,000 taels of silver, I don't think it's enough, 500,000 taels of silver, not a single cent less." Otherwise, the Austro-Hungarian cavalry along the Austro-Hungarian Galician border will carry your Cossack cavalry swords and carry your Nagant rifles in formation, and I am sure they will like the weapons of your country! ”

Tsarist Russia and Austria-Hungary did not deal with each other.

Although today's negotiations were decided by Kosovic, Wu Sadi couldn't listen anymore, and he got up angrily and said, "Why should Austria-Hungary listen to you? How will they have our weapons? ”

"Hehe, we'll give them a steady stream of your weapons. You can ask Major General Putilov, how did they lose their weapons, ammunition and artillery? Unless you carry these on your back every day! ”

Regardless of whether the Qing court or the Russian side were dumbfounded.

It's so insolent, it's so blatant.

At the beginning, Tsarist Russia was also very arrogant in threatening the Qing court, but Zhang Shouzeng was even more arrogant than them.
