    Thanks to Chang Kaishen, Chinese people who know a little bit about modern history are all familiar with the famous saying "To fight against foreign forces, we must first settle the domestic affairs", and they always feel it is a bit harsh. However, they do not know that this sentence contains thousands of years of Chinese history.  Consistent way of thinking: from the inside out, first inside then outside, emphasizing the inside over the outside.  "The Analects of Confucius" says, "You don't know yourself when you are not worried about others, and you don't know others when you are worried." The Great Learning emphasizes the order of self-cultivation, family management, country governance, and world peace.  The logic of "Jun" can be seen in our daily life as well as the common sayings "You need to be strong to make iron" and "How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep one house", which all reflect this.

    Considering the current situation, Sun Yuanqi also felt that the best strategy was to first settle the internal situation and then attack the external situation.  When he got up early the next morning, he sent someone to ask Lu Zhengxiang, the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs who had already been designated, and began to adjust the country's diplomatic strategy after taking office.  Lu Zhengxiang came over quickly, but he was followed by an annoying tail: the Russian Minister to China Kupensky.

    Kupenski probably knew that he was not welcome, so he said with a smile as soon as he entered the door: "I heard that Mr. Sun was elected Prime Minister yesterday, and I came here to congratulate him. You won't welcome him, right?"

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out  However, Yang Du also mentioned when talking to him before that as the director of education, he might be able to treat people and things with the attitude of "treating those who like him well and those who don't like him intolerable" to show that he is clean and honest; but  As the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, you must understand the principle that "Jin Yu hides her flaws, but the monarch hides his dirt" and cannot bring his own likes and dislikes into government affairs.

    Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to cheer up: "Your Excellency, the Minister, came to congratulate you. Sun Mou naturally welcomes you. I'm afraid that your Excellency, the Minister's congratulations are false, and you have to give me some advice that would be true, right?"

    Kupenski¡¯s face froze, and then he laughed: ¡°What are you saying, Prime Minister? Although I do have something to trouble you, my congratulations are sincere.¡±

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Mr. Sun has already understood the good intentions of the Minister. I don't know what else to teach you. If it is a private matter, then it doesn't matter. If it is a business matter, please refrain from talking. Although the Congress has passed the proposal, but in  Sun has no right to handle official business before he is sworn in. So we can discuss any matters after all members of the cabinet are sworn in!"

    Although Sun Yuanqi cannot be as awesome as Wu Sidao said in "Yongzheng Dynasty", "For official matters, ask Zhang Tingyu, for military matters, ask the Thirteenth Master, and for private matters, answer the emperor if there is no private matter." However, it is more than enough to block Kupenski's mouth by imitating it.  .  Sure enough, Kupenski was silenced and could only talk nonsense for a while, then got up and left angrily.

    As soon as Kupensky left, Lu Zhengxiang hurriedly explained: "Since your Excellency sent troops north to bomb Outer Mongolia, the Russian Minister to China has been to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every now and then to make a fuss, ordering our country to withdraw its troops, demanding huge compensation, and making numerous demands.  Excessive demands. Mr. Lu was also troubled by him. Early this morning, he went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest again. He happened to hear the Lord summoning Mr. Lu, so he wanted to follow him. Mr. Lu tried his best to persuade him but failed, so he could only¡ª¡ª"

    Sun Yuanqi waved his hand: "The country is poor and weak, surrounded by great powers. Naturally, I know the difficulties faced by Brother Zixing, the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs. And among all the great powers, Russia and Japan are probably the most greedy! What unreasonable suggestions did the minister to China put forward?  Require?"

    Lu Zhengxiang sighed before replying: "Initially, I was ordered to negotiate with Russia on the cancellation of the Russo-Mongolia Agreement. They proposed that our country must fulfill six conditions before the agreement can be revoked. The conditions included the permanent preservation of the Kulun government, China's prohibition of sending officials to interfere in Outer Mongolia affairs,  The armies of China, Russia and Mongolia will each withdraw. The Chinese government cannot prevent Kulen from borrowing money from foreign countries. The Kulen government can appoint Mongolian officials on its own. If the Russian side's request is followed, our country's governance, military, foreign, financial, etc. powers in Outer Mongolia will all be lost.  Without it, Outer Mongolia would be the same as independence. Naturally, we would never dare to accept these conditions.

    "Subsequently, Your Excellency ordered Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and bombed the city of Khovd, Ulyasutai and other places, which made the Cullen authorities frightened and almost fell. At this time, Russia came forward for the Cullen authorities, not only  Appointed a senior officer of the Russian army to be the command coach of the Kulun government's army, and gave this person the power to mobilize the troops of all alliances. He also secretly colluded with Jebzundamba to prepare to send 50,000 Russian troops to help the Kulun government fight against the central government.

    "At the same time, Minister Kupensky asked for 5 million rubles in compensation under the pretext that the bombing caused casualties and property losses to the foreigners, and unreasonably interfered with my country's deployment of additional troops in the border provinces, claiming that my country's garrison of troops in the border provinces was tantamount to openly preparing for war. The Russian government attaches great importance to this and will take appropriate responses based on our country's military deployment; if China attempts to conquer Mongolia, they will regard it as a dispute between the two countries and actively send troops to deal with it.Involvement!  "

    Sun Yuanqi could not help but sneer several times: "The Russians stretch their hands long enough and their hearts are wide enough!"

    Lu Zhengxiang continued: "The Russians have always been arrogant and unreasonable! They know that your command is strong and well-equipped, so they dare not make trouble in the northwest frontier. Instead, they provoke trouble in other places, such as repeatedly sending troops to plunder and expel  He bought and sold Chinese merchants in the city (today's Altanbula, Mongolia), and encouraged the Kuron-Mongolian army to invade the Xilingol League area of ??Inner Mongolia, further intensifying the conflict; and asked the Chinese government to negotiate with Russia to determine the number of troops stationed in the three eastern provinces!

    ¡°In April and May, Kupensky again sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and made four unreasonable demands: First, he requested that the Russians be given exclusive mining rights in Heilongjiang, and second, the Chinese living in Harbin must pay donations to the Russian Ministry of Industry.  Third, when Chinese troops are transferred to Outer Mongolia or pass through Harbin, they must report to the Russian government in advance. Fourth, if Chinese want to board Russian ships, they must obtain a license from the Russian embassy or consulate in advance. Outer Mongolia and Heilongjiang are simply regarded as Russia's private territory!  "

    "Then how did Prime Minister Zhao Zhi'an handle these matters?" Sun Yuanqi asked.

    Lu Zhengxiang shook his head and said: "What else can you do? It's bullshit! Prime Minister Zhi'an also knows that this hole cannot be opened, because as long as a hole is opened somewhere, it is guaranteed that all the major powers will swarm forward and demand at least the same benefits. Don't look at Russia's so many proposals.  The other powers are also not idle with their unreasonable demands. For example, German Minister Harhausen not long ago notified the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of two things, requesting that Germany solely invest in the construction of a railway from Jiaozhou to Jinan via Laiwu. Minerals within thirty miles near the railway  Also mined freely by Germany.

    "Japanese Minister Ijuin Hikokichi claimed that he was ordered by the Japanese government to formulate a "Local Treaty of the Three Northeastern Provinces" in detail in response to Russia's plot in Northeast China, and handed over a six-article draft drafted by Japan, including that the Heilongjiang area is a commercial area recognized by China and Japan.  Civil aviation routes are not allowed to share the benefits of other countries; in the future, the three northeastern provinces can only borrow money from Japan for new policies and reclamation affairs; the ground along the South Manchuria Railway and the concession from Changchun to Dalian must be permanently leased; the number of Chinese troops in South Manchuria is limited; Japan  People studying and traveling in Fengtian must be protected by local governments; more than 20 minerals in the four counties of Kuandian, Huairen (today's Huanren), Tonghua, and Linjiang must be mined by the Japanese.

    "The British Minister Zhu Erdian also sent a note to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, requesting that the Yangtze River Basin is the area of ??British interest and that concessions must not be opened to other countries; Britain must be allowed to open a special trade port in mainland China; the post of General Customs and Taxation Department must be permanently held by  The British took charge. At the same time, he continued to increase troops in the Pianma area of ??Yunnan and prepared to start construction of military railways there. Even Portugal, a small country, notified our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked China to recognize the Portuguese¡¯s permanent right of residence in Macau.  ;China cannot cede Macau to other countries without the permission of the Portuguese."

    Sun Yuanqi said seductively: "These great powers have gone too far!"

    Lu Zhengxiang smiled bitterly and said: "Who says it's not the case? But what can we do? Firstly, our government has no money and must borrow money from banks in various countries to survive. Firstly, the momentum has been reduced by three points; secondly, our country is divided and each province operates independently.  , itself is full of contradictions, and it is easy for the great powers to find opportunities to provoke and exploit; third, our army is weak. Except for your lord¡¯s Northwest Army and the President¡¯s Beiyang Army, which can barely fight, most of the others are not only unable to defeat Russia and Britain.  When a world power loses completely even against Japan Fuso, what else can we do?"

    Sun Yuanqian nodded: "The country is indeed extremely poor now, but we cannot lose heart. If we are all discouraged, what hope does the country have? There is an old saying in our country that 'everything will come to an end in peace', and Western poets also said, 'Winter is the end of the world.  Spring is here, but spring is far away. I believe that as long as we survive this period, the country will become prosperous and strong! Of course, the key issue we are facing now is how to survive this most difficult period."

    Lu Zhengxiang said: "Yesterday I heard that your Excellency passed the parliamentary election with a high vote and became the first democratically elected Prime Minister. This shows that the whole country has high hopes for you, and I also have great expectations in my heart. I wonder what your Excellency will do after taking charge of the State Council.  What adjustment?¡±

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Sun knows nothing about diplomacy, and he shouldn't be talking nonsense. However, based on the current national situation, I would like to make a request for the work policy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is one word: procrastination!"

    "Delay?" Lu Zhengxiang couldn't help but look at Sun Yuanqi.

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Yes, just delay! All unreasonable demands put forward by the great powers must be clearly rejected if they can be refused without intensifying the contradiction. If they cannot be refused, then talk slowly and delay for at least a year or more than a year and a half.  . All negotiations involving the betrayal of national interests do not take the success of the negotiation as the ultimate goal, but treat the negotiation as a means of delaying time. For example, if Russia asks for 5 million rubles in compensation, you should start slowly with 50,000 rubles.  One thousand, one thousand, and more. The asking price is sky-high, so just pay it back on the spot!"

    "My lord's plan to slow down the army is nothing more than trying different ways to argue with other countries. But what if the ministers of various countries don't have such good patience and temper? What should we do?" Lu Zhengxiang was a little worried.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Start talking slowly and add it up a thousand times.  The asking price is sky-high, so just pay it back on the spot!  "
