Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 348 Father and Son at the Negotiating Table

Japan, Tokyo

"what!"

"what!"

……

In a heavily guarded house, a thin old man in a kimono was waving a Suzhen knife vigorously in his hand, roaring, as if the air was the enemy he hated the most in his life, after a long while, he stopped with a subsequent shout, The Suzhen knife in his hand also fell down.Moving his neck left and right, the fierceness in his eyes disappeared, and he became a little regretful.

"Ito Hirobumi is dead?" Yamagata Yutomo muttered first, and then asked the current Japanese Prime Minister Katsura Katsura: "Are you sure?"

"Sure, sir! The body of Duke Ito is being transported back. His Majesty the Emperor intends to hold a state funeral for Duke Ito in Hibiya Park!" Katsura Katsura took Su Zhendao, handed the towel at the same time, and said respectfully, also between Emperor Meiji and himself The teacher here, he is such a docile look.Usually, it can be called a mad dog...

"Dead! Just like that!" Shanxian Youpeng muttered to himself.

There is a friend in Shanxian County, and in later generations, he also has a nickname - the father of the imperial army.It can be said that he can be regarded as the founder of the germination of Japanese militarism.

When he was young, Youpeng Shanxian can be regarded as a Lin Zexu-style hero, because he participated in the Xiaguan War against the bombardment of Xiaguan by the joint fleet of Britain, France, Holland and the United States.He took the lead in the war and was shot and wounded in the right wrist and abdomen, becoming the vanguard of Japan's anti-barbarian movement.After the Meiji Restoration, he became one of the few heroes who could fight in the Meiji Dynasty. After Ito Hirobumi, he served as the third prime minister of Japan.

"Teacher, no one is going against you now! You can finally pay..." Gui Taro was interrupted by a stern shout before he finished speaking.

"Idiot! Ito Hirobumi's death is a weakening of the Great Japanese Empire!" Yamagata Aritomo said angrily, even throwing a towel on Katsura's face. "Find out the cause of death! I don't believe it. A mere North Korean killer can succeed in Ice City so easily?" As if, he no longer looked down on Hirobumi Ito as usual.

Some of the old partners of the Meiji Restoration have died one by one. Ito Hirobumi and Yamagata Aritomo have been fighting for many years. Now, there are two forces in Japan. Pai holds a relatively peaceful attitude towards Japan's development, does not support radical expansion, and insists on taking one step at a time.One group is led by Shanxian Youpeng, the hawks recognized by the military, and advocates the use of radical expansion to enhance national power.

The conflict between Aritomo Yamagata and Hirobumi Ito began in 1894. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], Yamagata, a veteran of the army, was extremely excited. He personally wielded a sword and served as the commander of the First Army, directing the Japanese army to defeat the The Qing army captured Pyongyang, and then led the army across the Yalu River into China, even conquering Jiulian City and Dandong.

Due to the successive successes of the Japanese First Army and the successive defeats of the Qing army, Shan County became more and more excited, and even planned to enter the mainland of China to fight the main force of the Qing army, imitating the wave of Dorgon, and going straight to Shanhaiguan.

At the same time, Shan County put forward the "Three Strategies for Conquering the Qing Dynasty" to the Japanese mainland, and strongly advocated winter combat: 1. Landing operations from the sea to Shanhaiguan again, establishing a sphere of influence, and preparing for Zhili operations; 2. Marching to Lushun and stationing troops at the base Move to the ice-free port to find a port for the Japanese fleet; 3. Immediately march northward and capture Fengtian.In the "Three Strategies for Conquering the Qing Dynasty", Shanxian proposed the strategic policy of forcing Beijing and Tianjin in the south, Fengtian in the north, and opening up two battlefields at the same time.

Here you can see the shadow of the war of aggression against China in later generations, and you can also see how deep this person's influence on the Japanese military is...

However, at this time, it is not ripe to propose two battlefields at the same time, because the Qing court is not that collective government, and the Qing court still has its own status in the international arena at this time.First of all, the Western powers will definitely interfere in order to ensure their own interests in the Qing Dynasty.Secondly, the Beiyang Navy is still a part, and there are serious problems in the supply line of the Japanese army.

The "Three Strategies for Conquering the Qing Dynasty" was rejected by Ito Hirobumi, then Prime Minister of Japan. At the same time, he decided to attack the Beiyang Fleet Naval Port of Qilu Weihaiwei, and went south to attack Oshima, and began to mobilize troops to implement it.

However, the general is outside, and the king's order is not accepted. The mountain county brazenly acted arbitrarily, defied the instructions of the Japanese mainland, and privately ordered Gui Tailang's division to attack Haicheng. The Qing army in Haicheng resisted bravely and fell into a quagmire. Japan did not have enough troops. He went to support Haicheng again, but was defeated miserably and was transferred back to China.

Since then, the conflict between Ito Hirobumi and Yamagata Yutomo has been continuously intensified, and the two people have never stopped fighting openly and secretly. As the former Prime Minister of Japan, why Ito Hirobumi was transferred to North Korea as the supervisor? Gain power, and the consequences.Otherwise, for a backward agricultural country, if there is no one in Japan, will it send a prime minister who has made great contributions to him to govern it?
At that time, in order to let Hirobumi Ito go to North Korea, the domestic government took a lot of countermeasures. Finally, through the mouth of the singer, the news was successfully accepted by the Japanese duke who would rather live without bamboo and meat than without women. Korean order.

"Teacher, you want me to check the news of Duke Ito's death?" Gui Taro asked in surprise. The culprit who will cause Haicheng's fiasco is hated to death.

"Go! The Juji Agency's penetration of Beiman is seriously insufficient. You go to Yasuda Zenjiro. Through my instruction, he has a partner in Bingcheng. This kind of thing can show that Juji is related to the Qing Dynasty in Bingcheng. Is the chamber of commerce's analysis report accurate!" Shanxian Youpeng said.

Yasuda Zenjiro, the head of the Yasuda Chamber of Commerce, the biggest backer of this person in the Japanese political circle is this Meiji hero, a friend in Yamagata.And why did a top Japanese chaebol force meet Gu Ansheng, the treasurer of the Qing Dynasty Chamber of Commerce?MSG has a part of its magical power, but more of it is a hint from the backer of the Yasuda Chamber of Commerce in a chat!
"Understood, teacher!" Keijiro looked at his teacher's expression and knew that this was not a joke, so he recognized it with his nose. He thought that his teacher would be like him, and he would celebrate Ito Hirobumi's death. Fan.

"Also, the person who told you, I will attend Ito Hirobumi's funeral, he is dead, and the funeral should not be too ugly..." After finishing speaking, Yamagata Yutomo walked into the room...

Ice city
The Qing court finally intervened belatedly in the meeting between Russia and Japan in Ice City. The person who came to Ice City was Xiliang, who is now the governor of the Kwantung region, with the Qing court's instruction.

After getting off the train, the governor of Kanto saw the prosperity of Ice City in the carriage, and was very moved. The Russians are really powerful. A small fishing village, which has only been around for 10 years, has become the best in Kanto today. industrial city.

Because of the assassination that just happened, Xiliang didn't spend much time in the ice city, but went directly to Binjiang City under the protection of the insurance team, as if he would feel at ease here.Therefore, he also missed the real reason why the ice city is so prosperous. The Russians only played a part of the role, but the ice city has developed the fastest in recent years. Why?Because of Han Yao!

Since then, the Qing court missed the last opportunity to evaluate most of the Zhu family's forces for the last time.

Zhu Kaishan, who came back from Xiaoqingshan, also accompanied him all the way. When the evening approached, Zhu Chuanwen also hurried over to meet this important minister of the Qing court.

"My lord!" Zhu Chuanwen cupped his hands towards Xiliang.

Looking at the son of Zhu Kaishan dressed as a foreigner, Xiliang felt a little displeased in his heart, but because Zhu Chuanwen went to Andre's place to inquire about the news today, he forced a smile and was very satisfied in his heart Zhu Kaishan said against his will: "Kaishan, this is your son, not bad, very energetic."

"It's the dog!"

It’s really a tiger father and dog son, Xiliang slandered in his heart, “Come on, send a message, and talk about the plans of the Russians today.”

"My lord, Andrei's side has already started to operate from the country, and he will also be promoted to major general. This garrison force that he has spent several years of hard work will become the team directly under his major general. This time, it is very likely that it will be stationed in Khabarovsk. .” Zhu Chuanwen told Xiliang all the news he found today.

"And from what you know of the Russians, what will happen to them?"

"Should change the defense force from the Vladivostok base camp..." Zhu Chuanwen said truthfully.

Speaking of it, Bingcheng is also the most important node for the Russians, and there is a high probability that they will not give up. If they give up, there will not be much remaining power in the Qing Dynasty.

Xi Liang thought about it, but didn't say anything...

"My lord, then I will take my leave first. The Russians are still waiting for me to attend the event at night." Zhu Chuanwen bowed his hands to the governor of the Kanto region again.

"Well, go! Chuanwen, it's hard for you to be in Cao Ying and caring about Han!" Xi Hao said as if knocking.

"My lord's words, you should keep them in mind when you pass them on!"

After Zhu Chuanwen left, Xiliang turned to Zhu Kaishan and said, "Kaishan, your son is a capable man, but he is too close to the Russians..."

"My lord, I know my son, I know what kind."

"Well, that's good." Xiliang said on the mouth, but said in his heart, it's okay, he's just a merchant...

Zhu Chuanwen, who had rushed back to the Bingcheng Council, looked at Ke Kefutseff with some uncertainty, "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, do you want me to participate in the negotiations between Russia, the Qing Dynasty, and Japan?"

"Yes, it's you. You will be one of our entourage in this negotiation, and your name will also appear on the list of signed agreements!" Kokovtseff said with a smile, and patted Zhu Chuanwen on the shoulder.

Beside, Andre and Berg smiled without showing any trace.

The tripartite talks between the Qing Dynasty, Russia, and Japan in the Ice City officially started. In fact, before the Qing Dynasty intervened, many things in Russia and Japan had been discussed. But now, the Qing Dynasty represents the interests of American capital.Sadly, I can't represent myself anymore.

The meeting in Bingcheng lasted for three days. At the meeting, Xiliang's subordinates fought hard, but they were defeated in the end. This is a small microcosm of the Qing Dynasty's participation in humiliating meetings.

At the meeting, the Russian representatives never looked directly at the Chinese representatives.As for the Japanese, although they always have a pleasant appearance, their own calculations are clanging in the bottom of their hearts.

However, when Xiliang was about to slap the table, the meeting finally came to a relatively satisfactory conclusion.

"The garrison in Ice City, we can give up, but I need Zhu's insurance team to "specially" station in Ice City." Keke Futseff smiled and patted Zhu Chuanwen's shoulder next to him. profound.

This meeting, it can be said that Zhu Chuanwen enjoyed the feeling of having the right to speak, because he was often brought by Ke Kefutsefu, and he looked like he was my confidant, so that officials of the Qing court often scolded traitors in secret .

It is very interesting that Zhu Kaishan represents the Qing court, and Zhu Chuanwen represents Russia. The father and son are not on the same front this time.

"I don't agree. Cao Kun from Ji Province can be transferred. I hope Beiyang Third Town will be stationed in Bingcheng." Xi Liang said with a beard and staring eyes.

"That's nothing to talk about, Mr. Xi, if the Zhu family's insurance team is stationed, then not only will we agree not to continue to place garrisons in Bingcheng, but we can even give up the current garrison garrison." Kokovtseff smiled. Said, once again put the word Zhu's family under heavy pressure.

The Qing court has already promised that it does not intend to introduce American capital from the official level. The premise of this guarantee is to ask Russia to abide by Russia’s promise after the Russo-Japanese War. At the beginning, the Qing court did not help each other, and even fought on the ground. After the victory or defeat, the large-scale garrisons in the three provinces of Kanto were withdrawn.

The Japanese obeyed it very well, and they had a small number of troops stationed in Dalian. However, because Russia lost, they played tricks on the Qing Dynasty, leaving more than 4000 regular troops in Bingcheng.

Negotiations fell silent...

Zhu Chuanwen and Zhu Kaishan sat facing each other. Both father and son were expressionless, but it was inevitable that they would be a little embarrassed.

"We ask the Russians not to interfere with the daily training of the insurance team!" Xi Liang hammered the table and glanced at Zhu Kaishan.

"We promise!" Ke Kefu Tseff said, but looked at Zhu Chuanwen seriously.

The negotiation between the three parties was over, Zhu Chuanwen was left by the Russians to hold a celebration banquet at the Bingcheng Public Council, while Zhu Kaishan also held a celebration banquet at the dinner table in Binjiang Mansion.

"Creating the mountain, your father and son have contributed a lot this time!" Xi Liang said with a glass of wine at the beginning. Zhu Chuanwen became a member of the Russian negotiators. made his own response.

Who can't act? The last thing they want is to let the Russians withdraw all the regular armed forces in the Qing Dynasty. An irritable negotiator was concocted by Zhu Chuanwen's tricks.And this performance kept the officials of the Qing court in the dark, and the denunciation of Zhu Chuanwen's generous statement made almost all the officials of the Qing court start to curse Zhu Chuanwen secretly.

But in their hearts, these Qing court officials became envious. The son of Zhu Tuanlian really hugged the thigh of a Russian. Now even if he is an official of the Russians, he will be regarded as a fake foreigner in the future.

"My lord, it's a pity that Chuanwen can no longer be loyal to the imperial court!" Zhu Kaishan pretended to be a little regretful and said, this time, amidst Xiliang's reprimand, a small agricultural official in Yilan Mansion, who was considered dispensable, was arrested. The governor of Kanto was removed.

"It's good for you and me to be clear in our hearts. Now that you are in the light and your son is in the dark, you can play a better role." Xi Liang said.

Zhu Chuanwen's plan was written in great detail, and the Russian plan was revealed more than once in the middle, all of which were inadvertently sent by hunters, and Zhu Kaishan handed it to Xiliang. The talks were completed under the premise of stationing troops in Vladivostok, otherwise the Russians really planned to mobilize troops from Vladivostok and start the rotation in Vladivostok.

This incident also greatly confirmed that Xi Liang was a Jiang Gan-style figure for Zhu Chuanwen.

After the hearty banquet on both sides, the father and son who hadn't returned home for more than a week finally got together again in the porcelain house.

"Zhu Zongtuan training!" Zhu Chuanwen obviously had a drink too high, and said when he saw his father come back and clasped his hands.

"Mr. Zhu!" Zhu Kaishan grinned and said to his son.
