- Li Hongzhang was overjoyed, but Bao Chao had other plans. Although he thought it would be better to stay in Beijing, he couldn't bear to let go of Hanako in Japan, who brought him endless happiness. **¡¶¡¶¡·¡·* He wanted to ask the emperor to take back his life, but he didn't dare to speak. He looked like he was hesitating to speak, which made the emperor feel strange, "Bao Chao, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking so sad? You don't want to serve. I¡¯ll tell you as soon as possible.¡±
"How dare I not want to serve the Emperor? I will never be able to fully repay the kindness and kindness my master has shown me, but" He murmured a few times and said hesitantly, "I would like to ask for the Emperor's will. Please allow me to do so." I will go back to Japan once to take care of some um, Omi's personal affairs" As he spoke, he banged his head hard.
"Go back to Japan? Is there anything else?"
The leader was Zhu Hongzhang, Minister of the Ministry of War. He didn't know what was going on. He stared at Bao Chao's back bitterly, "Your Majesty, I don't know either."
"Bao Chao, what is going on?" the emperor asked, "If I hear what you say is reasonable, I will let you go east; if it is unreasonable, you will stay in the capital and you will not be allowed to go anywhere. !¡±
Bao Chao had no choice but to tell the story about Yuanting's Hanako, "Your Majesty, I think, if people have feelings for us, I can't be unjust. Didn't Your Majesty also repeatedly warn your servants to be more responsible?"
The emperor laughed angrily, "I have said so many things, but you remember this sentence? I also said that when we go to Japan to use troops, we must attack the hearts of the people first and the city as the second. We must also take good care of the people of Japan. Do not How come you don't remember the humiliation, beatings and scoldings? Are there any feelings and righteousness? You are so brave! Do you think I don't know about those bullshit scandals that you bastards have caused in Japan?"
"Chen Ye
He scolded Bao Chao and finally said. "Are you saying that Hanako has feelings for you? Are you bullying the weak and taking advantage of others? You, besides, I heard Lao Wu say it. Kitei is a very famous restaurant in Japan, will Hanako be with you? Come back to Beijing?"
"If she is willing, she will definitely be willing. Even if she is not willing, I will tie her up even if I have to."
"Well, even if she is willing to come with you, how will she deal with it when she arrives in China and she doesn't understand the language? Even this is not a problem. As the leader of the Shenji Battalion and a close relative of mine, you have a daughter of an enemy country in your house. Think about it. How do the courtiers view this?"
Bao Chao rolled his eyes, and he was also a little anxious. He said without hesitation, "Then, please ask the emperor to exempt me from the errand of Shenji Camp. """ () also sent me back to Sichuan, so you can come if you want. Is it okay?"
"You bastard!" The emperor was furious, "You think the rewards from the imperial court are just what you want. Do you want to resign when you want to? Bao Chao, I think you have lost your mind."
Only then did Bao Chao realize that he had said the wrong thing. He kept bumping his head, "Your Majesty" he whimpered. "I really can't bear to leave her. I beg you, Your Majesty. I am your Majesty. I will not hesitate to do anything to you. I just want Your Majesty to be merciful. I beg Your Majesty to be merciful!"
Seeing him sobbing and crying, the emperor and Zhu Hongzhang looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Bao Chao looked careless on the surface, but he was sincere in his heart? "Your Majesty, do you think?" Zhu Hongzhang said slowly, "Why don't we let him go east once? I think if Huazi is willing to come with him, he will naturally have a heart; if he is not willing, he will naturally be cut off. The thought of seeking Phoenix.¡±
" As for the emperor's worries, I think there is no need to worry about the emperor. I, the emperor, have ruled the world for thirty years. Are you still afraid that a weak woman raised in the palace will cause any trouble? If there is any change, the emperor will issue a decree , it can be eliminated invisible!"
The emperor nodded slowly, raised his eyes and said, "Bao Chao, did you hear what Zhu Hongzhang said?"
"Yes, everyone heard it."
The emperor also felt helpless, and intuitively told himself that it was not a good idea to bring this slut into Beijing. But Bao Chao was pitiful, and he probably knew his own temperament, "I will give you twenty days." Time, if I can't return to Beijing to take office by then, I will just" He thought for a long time, but could not think of a suitable way to deal with him, which made Bao Chao and Zhu Hongzhang forget their feelings, raise their eyes and look at him It seems.
"What are you looking at? Get out of here!" After saying that, even he couldn't help laughing.
*************************************************
The negotiating mission sent by Japan across the sea was still headed by Ito Hirobumi, and one of the accompanying personnel was missing Iwakura Tomoshi. Only he and Okuma Shigenobu participated in the negotiations.
This negotiation was different from the last time. The Japanese no longer dwelled on the issue of war responsibility. Instead, they argued with Yi and others on the specific terms of the negotiation point by point. It only took one day. þ€A few people felt the distinct attitude of the Japanese: an indemnity of three thousandSix million taels, and ceding land is definitely not an option!
"Your Excellency, Cabinet Minister, I must remind you that according to my Qing calendar, there is a leap month in February this year. Therefore, our negotiations can have more time to argue on each other's issues, but if your country always maintains With this attitude, there is no point in wasting each other¡¯s time, so we should go back and prepare for the next battle, right?¡±
"Since the Emperor, our empire has long been prepared to die together. Even if we fight to the last man, we will never accept such conditions." Ito Hirobumi replied without giving in, "If the situation really develops to this point, At that step, I think, not to mention the casualties of Japanese officials and civilians, even the soldiers from your country who invaded our country, I am afraid that not many of them will be able to return to their homeland alive."
After listening to Yikuang's translation, Yiyi leaned back and pretended to be aloof from the incident. Zhiyan immediately responded, "In this case, what are we talking about? Let's tell the emperor that you and I will go back. There is a winner and loser on the battlefield."
Hirobumi Ito is furious! My country was defeated on the battlefield, but I was so embarrassed that such a young man was so cowardly? "Your Highness, is this what you mean?"
"Exactly!"
Ito Hirobumi felt some regret in his heart. He knew that he had asked the wrong question. Now that the cart had hit the wall, it was irreversible. At this time, as long as he said a soft word, the appetite of the Chinese people would be unstoppable. He sneered and nodded, "Well, in that case, we can only say goodbye and wait for the showdown on the battlefield in the future!"
Seeing that the negotiations between the two parties were breaking down, the counselor of the British Embassy who was present at the meeting hurriedly tried to persuade them. Neither party dared to take the risk of ruining their errand, so they sat down again. "Your Excellency, you and I both know that this condition of only compensating military expenses and silver, let alone the emperor, would not allow it. Even I, the king, would not dare to report it to the emperor. Rather than layer upon layer in the future and negotiate with many parties for the details, it is better to How about you and I each take a step back?"
"I wonder what your Highness means by this?"
"It's very simple. Please show us the conditions agreed upon by your country's monarchs and ministers, and we will discuss it later." Yi þ€ said, "You and I are both discerning people, so there is no need to waste time with rhetoric, right?"
Ito Hirobumi thought about it for a moment, then turned to discuss with Okuma Shigenobu for a few more times, and nodded slowly, "Well, our country's conditions are that it is not feasible to cede land, but seaports along the coast can be opened, and noble ships and civilian ships can be allowed. The ship will berth at the port; in addition, we will pay you 42 million taels of silver as compensation. It will be paid off in fifty years."
Such conditions naturally did not satisfy Yi þ€, but there was no need to argue with him at the moment. He stood up and handed over his hands, "In this case, your Excellency, the Minister, please temporarily take over the post, and wait until I report to the emperor before making a decision."
When the report came to the imperial court, the emperor asked a few questions, understood what had happened, and then said, "Shen Baozhen, you are in charge of the Ministry of War. Do you think you can be sure that the current war in Japan will continue?"
"Yes." At this time, Shen Baozhen could not tolerate the word "no", "I dare to guarantee my wealth and life. If the emperor sends an order to fight again, within half a year, the entire territory of Japan will be wiped out."
"That's not what I need. I have no intention of letting Japan subjugate. But if the terms of ceding territory are never passed, what can we do?"
Both Zaiying and Zaiyun joined the military aircraft department for the first time, and they were just doing what is commonly known as "military aircraft with curtains". There was no room for them to talk, but although their ranks were low, they were princes after all. Zaiying waited and saw that no one spoke, so she couldn't help but speak cautiously, "Huang Ama, my son thought that there was no need to trouble Shengyou about this matter."
"Oh? Did you say that?"
"My son dare not say that he has seen something, it is just a fool's gain. I ask Emperor Ama and all your lords to take a closer look." Zai Ying said, "As I see it, the Japanese emperor and his ministers are just trying to delay the opportunity through negotiation. It's good to be able to negotiate, but even if it doesn't work out, there will be a buffer. If we can mobilize the troops from across the country and hold on to key passes, we may not be able to compete with the Qing Dynasty. But my son thought that instead of attacking the enemy with heavy troops, it would be better to lure the enemy to fight. I, the sergeant of the Green Camp, north and south Two routes occupy existing towns, neither marching nor retreating. They will recuperate and recuperate locally, appease the people, and use the accomplished fact to exhaust the Japanese energy. At that time, I am afraid that the Japanese will be afraid of the formality and have no choice but to take the initiative. When the time comes to attack, we will be waiting for work, and won¡¯t the initiative on the battlefield be in my hands?¡±
"Your Majesty, I think what the second elder brother said is true. If this is the case, our country will get hundreds of thousands of kilometers of land out of thin air, but Japan will have no choice but to fight with me. I think that even if the emperor is unhappy, he will have to swallow this piece of land. Bitter pill.¡±
The emperor was noncommittal, "What about you? Do you think what Zaiying said makes sense?"
"My younger brother also agreed with what the second elder brother said, thinking that this method can achieve many benefits at one stroke and break all the Japanese's wishful thinking."?They have a hard time talking about it. "
The emperor neither nodded nor objected, but just waited quietly. After a long while, he sighed quietly and was about to speak. Zaiyan, who had never answered anything, suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, my dear." Talk."
"You also want to talk?" the emperor asked, "What do you want to say?" (To be continued)
