Chapter 384
"Zhaochang, wait for Kaishan, you and I have to guard the bottom line of our Qing Dynasty..." Xiliang said to the two people beside him.

"Yes, my lord." The two also nodded in agreement.

"You can't follow in the footsteps of Yishan." Xi Liang said again.

If we talk about the first treaty of humiliation and humiliation signed by the Qing court, the "Nanjing Treaty" comes to many people's minds, but the first treaty to pay reparations to the big powers was the "Guangzhou Peace Treaty" in 1841.

This is something that all the important officials of the Qing court have repeatedly taken as a warning. In 1841, General Yishan, the general of the Qing government, was defeated in the battle with the British army in Guangzhou and was forced to surrender to the British army.

After that, he described his big defeat as a big victory, his surrender as the British begging for trade, and the indemnity as business money.For Britain, the compensation of 600 million silver dollars is said to be the gift of 600 million silver dollars.It can be said that such a treaty, to a certain extent, made the upper rulers of the Qing Dynasty make wrong judgments for a series of mistakes afterwards.

The three of them walked into the diplomatic meeting room that was cleaned up in the Governor's Mansion.

According to the traditional seating etiquette in our country, the left is respected in festive activities, and the right is respected in mourning.However, with the rise of the Westernization Movement, along with the foreign wind, there are also Western customs.It has become a recognized fact in foreign affairs activities that the right is respect.

The seats on both sides had already been set up. On the left was the Japanese representative headed by Mori Junpei, and on the right were Xi Liang, Chen Zhaochang, and Zhu Kaishan.

"Governor, we solemnly protest against the detention of our soldiers by the new army in Kyrgyzstan." As soon as he was seated, Junpei Mori couldn't wait to start his speech, and the instructions from the Japanese headquarters had already come down.With a big stick in his hand, he was very confident, maybe he could still gouge out some more flesh and blood from the late giant of the Qing Dynasty.

Protest, solemn protest, can be said to be the most serious level in diplomatic rhetoric.

However, there was no change in the faces of Xiliang and the others, and the Japanese would bring up these clichés every time.

"For the sake of harmony between the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese Empire, the Qing Dynasty must release our soldiers unconditionally and compensate all the losses of our Great Japanese Empire. Moreover, we must open trade and pay compensation. Well, our Great Japanese Empire does not want much, just open the entire territory of Kyrgyzstan Province .Money, our Empire of Japan doesn’t want much, just pay 1 taels of silver!” Mao Lijun said with a flat swatch.

"Crack!" Xiliang slapped the table heavily with his hand!
"Mr. Mori, this is not the time to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Our Qing Dynasty is not a defeated country, and we don't need to follow your Japanese way. Put away your arrogant face!" Chen Zhaochang accepted the words, his face straightened, and he said.

"There is still bargaining in business, not to mention compensation for both parties!" Zhu Kaishan gritted his teeth. This was the second time he participated in such a negotiation in his career, but he already had a calm and stable appearance, with a gun in his hand. Don't panic.

"We don't have many demands. Your Black Dragon Society and ronin must fully obey the jurisdiction of our Kyrgyz provincial government. Our price is similar to yours. We will compensate our Yamen of Yanji Prefecture with 10 yen, which will be used to compensate those who you killed earlier." Yamen servants.

At the same time, the construction of the railway by your South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. must be handed over to the Governor's Office of Kyrgyzstan Province and the Kanto Governor's Office for review! "Chen Zhaochang also made his own request.

Negotiations, the two sides naturally have to make an offer.

"My empire of Japan has nothing to say! It is impossible for us to agree to these demands you said!" Maori Junpei was also tit-for-tat.

"It's up to people, diplomatic rules are negotiated over and over again!" Chen Zhaochang said slowly.

"Your Excellency Chen is a senior in the diplomatic circles. He also went to Britain as a diplomatic mission. You should know that when the strengths of the two countries are equal, diplomacy is strength. But the strength of the two countries is very different, and strength is diplomacy. The three divisions of our country in North Korea have already Moved towards the Tumen River, this is the real diplomatic rule." Mori Junpei smiled slightly.

As for Chen Zhaochang, hearing that Japan had started mobilizing regular troops, he panicked and looked at Xiliang.

"The old man is getting old! But, Kaishan!" Xi Liang said at this time.

"Mr. Maori, let's see if your Japanese samurai swords are sharper, or the bayonets of our new army in Kyrgyzstan are better!" Zhu Kaishan slapped the table hard after hearing Xiliang's words.

Junpei Mori never expected that although Japan didn't want much this time, the Qing court's stance was extremely tough, and he couldn't believe it at the moment.

At this moment, Xi Liang's staff came in, said a few words into Xi Liang's ear, and heard Xi Liang say, "Please come in!"

Zhu Chuanwen was wearing an insurance team uniform. When he came in, he saw the tension between the two sides. He had been outside the door for a long time, and it was time to play!Masaki Koyanagi has all the cards in Japan's cards: "Mr. Mori, it seems that the negotiation is not going well!"

"Mr. Zhu!" Mouri Junpei opened his eyes slightly, why did this man come here?By the way, Zhu Shaofang's column in Yanji Mansion has been under fire recently, and this person must have instructed him to come here to represent the Zhu family?Or the Russians?I had some bad premonition in my heart.

Zhu Chuanwen also nodded slightly towards Xiliang, Chen Zhaochang, and his father.

"Your conditions, why don't you ask me, the northern part of Kyrgyzstan is still under the control of Russia, and it is a beautiful idea to open up the entire Kyrgyzstan!" Zhu Chuanwen directly expressed his position.

Yes, the news from Valentin is the meaning of the Tsarist Russian Far East Command. In the northern part of Kyrgyzstan Province, the interests of Tsarist Russia cannot be lost!
"Mr. Maori, you are trying to challenge justice and morality. Is this a violation of the Treaty of Portsmouth? Of course, this is one. Second, I want to say that this is not the dust settled after the Sino-Japanese War. Master Xiliang also Not Li Zhongtang!
This is my motherland, if you dare to threaten and try to invade my country again.If you three divisions dare to cross the Tumen River, my Zhu Family Insurance Team will go there immediately!
I, Zhu Chuanwen, will accompany you to the end! "

"Clap!"

The chair that Zhu Kaishan was originally sitting on was suddenly smashed by Old Zhu. Old Zhu's eyes were about to burst, and he burst into anger, looking like a living king of Hades.

"I, Zhu Kaishan's new army, will accompany you to the end!"

In the yamen of Fengtian Governor's Mansion, the Zhu family's father and son successively expressed their opinions, which made Mao Lijunping's momentum of oppressing Chen Zhaochang suddenly weakened.

This made the Japanese foreign affairs representatives who were originally sitting on official caps and chairs, who seemed a little inappropriate in size, all of them were frightened like quails by Lao Zhu's all of a sudden, lowering their heads, thinking, which is harder, my brain or wood ?

As for Mori Junpei, he was thinking: Is it true that the Qing people are not afraid of Japan's war, or have they already received a promise from Russia?

Tsarist Russia did not promise, but this year, no matter what, it has to protect its own interests in the North Manchurian area of ​​the Qing Dynasty. Especially this year's crops, Tsarist Russia is very important. It has already agreed with Hanyao to provide large-scale supplies to Russia. Copper ore is exchanged for crude oil.

Let's talk about Japan's trump card. The so-called three divisions of Mori Junpei are constantly approaching the Tumen River.However, according to Masaaki Koyanagi’s information, the Japanese emperor and prime minister disagreed with starting a war with the Qing Dynasty at this time. The merger of Japan and North Korea this year to expand Japan’s population is Japan’s strategy this year, and this is the primary goal of this year. .

The land battle in the Sino-Japanese War actually told the Japanese army that without the support of naval logistics, the Kanto of the Qing Dynasty would be a quagmire of war. Entering North Korea, these are all problems, especially for Nicholas II, who is crazy, and the Japanese base camp is very afraid.

"You, you..." Mouri Junping pointed, not knowing what to say.Originally, it was thought that letting Yasuda Chamber of Commerce cancel Hanyao's order would soften the Zhu family's clothes, but now, it is obvious that the two parties have already put on a pair of pants.

"Go back and send a message to your governors of Kantung Prefecture and North Korea, or compensate us for the loss of the Qing Dynasty, then your Japanese squadron can be sent back to North Korea. If not, maybe it is not difficult for us to cross the Tumen River!" Zhu Kai Shan said in a timely manner.

The Japanese delegation pretended to be angry and left the Governor's Mansion under the leadership of Mori Junpei. Obviously, this situation was not what they had thought before, nor could they decide.

The Qing Dynasty is about to go to war!
The news seemed to have grown legs, and it spread from Fengtian to the Japanese-controlled Kanto Prefecture (Lushun), to Seoul, North Korea, and to Tokyo, Japan.

Japanese Cabinet
Gui Taro looked at a group of excited Japanese army generals in the conference room.

The teacher gave me another problem!Gui Taro thought, there is a person behind these people, and that is Shanxian Youpeng, who can quickly entangle this group of war lunatics in a short period of time, and only this veteran of the Japanese army can do it.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Gui Taro said.

"Now is not a good time to go to war with the Qing Dynasty!" One stone caused a thousand waves, and the conference room began to be noisy. What's more, he had already started to wear it on his forehead, with a red dot in the middle white bandana.

"The Qing Dynasty is deceiving people too much! Let's go to war, we must go to war!"

"Yes, Prime Minister, we want to see His Majesty the Emperor, we want to see Your Excellency Yamagata, and we want to let the Qing people know that the army of the Great Japanese Empire is not threatened!"

"Generals, listen to me. His Majesty the Emperor has ordered that the merger of North Korea is the top priority this year. There must be no sloppy. Even if the war starts now, we can only mobilize three divisions in North Korea. Only three No matter how many divisions there are, the situation in North Korea will be unstable.”

"Three, just three, I will use three divisions to sweep across the three Kanto provinces of the Qing Dynasty!" a Japanese army general shouted.

Meetings these days are like wars, and Japan is fine.Important occasions such as the upper and lower parliaments of the United Kingdom can encounter the situation of littering. Churchill, the current Secretary of the Interior of the United Kingdom, was smashed.

"Three?" Gui Taro sneered. This man obviously didn't understand the situation in Kanto. He was also a general of the army and had a high military literacy.

Immediately, under the instruction of Gui Tailang, someone handed over the distribution of the Qing army in the Kanto, Fengtian new army, Kyrgyzstan new army, black province's civilian armed forces, and so on.

From this point of view, without 10 divisions, it is impossible to take it down, but 10 divisions are already one-third of the army power in Japan.

As for the war potential of the Qing Dynasty, the industrial city of Bingcheng alone has the protection of the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia. It can provide weapons and equipment for the entire Qing army's forces in the Kanto at once, and it will be completely detrimental to Japan if it continues to fight.

Next, these Japanese generals who had just been excited suddenly fell silent, and this time the military remonstrance secretly controlled by Shanxian Youpeng ended in an anticlimactic manner.

Katsura took the document and walked towards Emperor Meiji's palace. This time he was shocked when he got the document from Kanto of the Qing Dynasty. It was provided by the Chrysanthemum Agency under the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a hurry from the Intelligence Department of Kanto Prefecture. .

Emperor Meiji, whose name is Mujin, has been getting weaker and weaker in the past two years, and he is already very old.But starting from his hands, the Japanese imperial family is no longer a mascot, but gradually grasps the real power. Such a person in power, Ito Hirobumi, used a tough posture to limit the wave when the constitution was formulated. imperial power.It can be seen that Meiji's wrist is really not low.

"Kitaro, what's the matter? Your teacher is mobilizing the generals of the army to go to war again?" Meiji's beard is already gray, and he is writing calligraphy in the study of the Tokyo Imperial Palace. He is proficient in Chinese and a series of Confucian classics.

"Yes, Your Majesty, originally, I also thought about not fighting a war, but the key information from the Chrysanthemum Agency came too timely. If we start fighting, we will really fall into a quagmire of war. The Qing people are really insidious. With the help of the Russians, a huge industrial power has already been developed in Heilongjiang." Gui Taro said and handed the document in his hand to Meiji.

"Let's see what kind of power makes our prime minister hesitate..." Meiji stopped the writing brush in his hand and took the document from Guitaro.

"Is the war potential of the three Kanto provinces so great?" Meiji asked in surprise after reading it.

"Yeah, this is the data that the Chrysanthemum Agency in Kanto Prefecture finally assessed from the Black Province. At the beginning of this year, the Chrysanthemum Agency finally confirmed its plan to infiltrate the Black Province, and the agents only infiltrated one, and assessed what they called It is the industrial base of Xiaoqingshan, which is prepared for war.

If a war really breaks out, after a simple transformation, Bingcheng and Xiaoqingshan can already provide Qing with weapons and equipment for the new army in the Kanto region every year, and Bingcheng still has the ability to manufacture heavy weapons such as Krupp guns , should not be underestimated.

We mobilized several B-type divisions in North Korea, and perhaps even crossing the Tumen River would be a problem. Gui Tailang said. It was this top-secret document sent from the Chrysanthemum Agency that made him dispel the idea of ​​going to war against the Qing Dynasty at this time.

During the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], the division led by Gui Taro fell into Haicheng under the adventurous command of Shanxian Youpeng, and almost wiped out the entire army. This is still fresh in his memory. There are really many people in the Qing Dynasty. Where to hit it down.

In fact, the big powers knew in their hearts that the Qing Dynasty had a vast territory, and it was completely impossible to take it all down. In this regard, the British were smarter and kept cutting the Qing Dynasty's wool from trade.As for the Japanese, because of the restrictions of the island country, they actually had the idea of ​​spying on the land of the Qing Dynasty for a long time, but now their national strength is really insufficient.

It was only then that North Korea was considered. One was to determine the springboard, and the other was to expand the population.

If there is a real land war, the Qing Dynasty, which has developed for several years, will win, and it will be a miserable victory!Now Japan's advantage lies in the navy, but the size of this navy is far from the third largest navy in the world during World War II.

There are no battleships, no heavy aircraft carriers such as the Akagi, and the Second Pacific Fleet, which defeated Tsarist Russia before, took a large part in sneak attacks and personnel quality.The battle with the Russian Navy is more of a small, tough and fearless torpedo ship.

It can be said that from the early days of the establishment of the Japanese Navy, the quality of its soldiers was the highest in the world.This is not flattery, but a fact. It is higher than Britain and the United States. In the Japanese naval training in the early [-]th century, there was a training program called "Moon Moon Fire Mizuki Gold Gold".

In human terms, it is hard work to make money. The Japanese desperately train 7 days a week, training continuously, never resting.
