Chapter 17: The Wind and Thunder of the World (10)

Northern China, Tianjin.

This is the most prosperous water and land pier in northern China. At this time, the imperial envoys in the city of Tianjin arrived here two days ago, and the officials from the chief and deputy officials arrived here. The officials from Tianjin City all went to welcome him, which was very lively. At this time, foreign ministers from various countries in Tianjin also met together, and the scene was warm and harmonious. In order to do this, the officials from all over the city of Tianjin donated their integrity for two months, put on the loess road, decorated with colorful paintings, and the elders sent rice and meat. They must show that the Qing Dynasty was singing and dancing and prosperous in front of the ministers of various countries.

As soon as Shi Duo arrived, he held a cocktail party, which brought the face of the Minister of Military Affairs and invited representatives of ministers from various countries. Shi Lao San was so glorious, but he held a glass of champagne and greeted a foreigner in the yard. He was kind and thoughtful. It is said that for this cocktail party, Shi Duo Shi Dajun Ji began to practice these etiquettes in Beijing!

The Japanese delegation arrived in Tianjin, but it was just a matter of Shiduo and Tan Sitong and others. They were not so glorious. They got off the boat quietly and moved into a hotel in the British Concession in Tianjin. However, some people on the dock spit a lot when they saw these Japanese disembarkation, and they laughed and cursed a few times. According to the people present, these little dwarfs were dressed in black, all of them had blue faces, and walked as fast as if they had met ghosts!

The Japanese are here to seek peace and painting tricks. If you are a little bit honest, can you still succeed?

When the Japanese mission arrived in Tianjin, it only made a few reputations.

1. The Japanese Empire came to seek peace.

2. The overall situation in East Asia must be consolidated, and the status of countries in East Asia must not undergo drastic changes. If changes that threaten the stability of the Asian situation occur, the empire will fight for peace in East Asia to the end.

3. The Sino-Japanese peace talks must determine the pattern of East Asia in the next century, which must be formal and detailed. It is recommended that the members of both sides first discuss the entire agenda with the ambassadors of the great powers and mediation representatives, and then conduct proper negotiations.

4. Before the peace talks end, the empire will be united in the whole country and will not make any statements or make any moves to change the current situation. I hope that the Qing Dynasty will also abide by its duties.

5. In this peace talks, the Imperial Prime Minister Hiromori Hiromori is fully responsible. Hiromori's decision is the final decision of the Imperial.

After the statement came out, the Chinese representatives thought about it for a while, and Tan Sitong, they all tended to be the Japanese delegation to be stubborn and negotiated, just to negotiate terms between the two countries. The Japanese were defeated, but they still had to take the airs. We can't give in. Shi Duo also laughed and scolded a few times: "You can't be calmer? The Japanese are far from being calm! Let's be happy, just take it as a relaxing moment. The members will go to talk about the etiquette and rituals, and drag them to death with them! How long they love to live in Tianjin, that's how long they will last, and they will do whatever they want! Anyway, there is no need for us to pay for a meal!"

In the next few days, it was true that the two entourages were in contact with each other. They were all polite, but they had to argue for a long time in every detail. In two days, who would enter the first agenda first, who would enter the door, and how to arrange the seats, but they were not yet agreed. Shi Duo had been in military aircraft for a long time, and the military aircraft was in trouble. It was famous all over the world. He had to get up at three o'clock in the morning to go to court. When he arrived in Tianjin, he was a legitimate delay and paid a visit to the guests and listened to two scenes quietly. He was a little happy.

Tan Sitong was not as relaxed as Shi Duo. This time the peace talks were the first blow he jumped onto the political stage, and he could only do it well, not to mess it up. In Tianjin, he collected the Japanese information he could get and studied day and night. If Xu Yifan also gave him quite a bit of Japanese information during the Qing Dynasty, he was somewhat based on his script. This time, he really read it in his heart. He often put on his clothes at midnight, just pondering in the atrium.

Can we take this road?

In Tianjin, when the Japanese mission was determined, and the Qing mission calmly slid past like water until Xu Yifan's manifesto was issued.

"Resurrection! Resurrection! Do you see this?"

Four or five people rushed into Tan Sitong's bedroom in a mess, but Tan Sitong's personal servant couldn't stop him. The system was in line with the place where Tan Sitong lived was not bad, it was spacious and the furniture was also of high quality. Tianjin Customs knew that Tan Sitong's new school, so he specially sent a small foreign building out, but there were only a few people around Tan Sitong.

Last night, Tan Sitongshu read it late and thought a little deeper. He put on his clothes and went to bed, but he closed his eyes for a while. So many people rushed in, and he was a little unhappy. He listened to the sound, and it was still Kang Youwei, Yang Rui and Lin Xu and other colleagues. He didn't know how to say anything, rubbed his eyes and smiled, "Everyone, how come it was? What happened to the Japanese? With Hiromoto Ito, Heifumi, you won't be so quick and can't hold your breath!"

Kang Youwei rushed in front, with a proud look in his eyebrows. He placed a stack of copy papers in front of Tan Sitong: "Fusheng, look at what your brother said! He was clearly showing a carriage and horse, and wanted to turn the two rivers into a place outside the Qing Dynasty! He actually wanted to make a situation for his own situation, a prince! Humph, maybe he still had the intention to conquer the world! Brother Fusheng, you defended your brother for now, it seems that he was too kind!"

Tan Sitong was stunned, shook his head, and looked at the heavy expressions of the people in front of him. He now has a different status and is not as easy to be excited as before. He waved his hand and asked the old servant to send a hot towel. He rolled his eye sockets deeply, and then under the eyes of everyone, he picked up the copy of the newspaper and looked at it carefully.

The more he looked, the heavier his face became. At the end, he put down the manuscript paper and said nothing for a long time.

Kang Youwei sat down opposite Tan Sitong, and gently patted the armrest of the chair with his hand: "How about Resurrection? Brothers have said everything before, right? Now I am waiting to make a point, especially Resurrection, you must stand firm! I, Kang Nanhai, is already notorious to Xu Yifan, and there is no need to distinguish anything. Brother Resurrection, you must make some statement now!"

After speaking, he became proud: "Haha! Haha! I didn't expect that I, a scholar in Kang Nanhai, had no power to tie a chicken, and he was so beautiful that the commander of Haidong was so beautiful! What a pity, although Liangjiang knew people, he did not know the general trend! With me waiting at the center, this son's disaster is not far away!"

Seeing Kang Youwei shaking his head, Lin Xu and Yang Rui couldn't help but shake their heads secretly. They really couldn't understand why Xu Yifan would just take Kang Youwei and curse him. With Xu Yifan's current status, let alone anyone else's eyes, even if he scolds his ancestors for eight generations, he always looks up to the other party.

Although Kang Youwei's expression is really that way, this guy said nothing wrong. Xu Yifan made such a gesture and told the world that Tan Sitong and Xu Yifan have a very short relationship. Now they must express their opinions and have to stand firm in this position!

Thinking of this, a few people wanted to persuade Tan Sitong. But Tan Sitong shook his head and said lightly: "My brother just wants to do Changzhou and Satsuma's career... Although it is a bit contradictory, the reason is correct. Shouldn't we cheer up and refresh if we don't say it? We shouldn't change the way of employing people and the way of governing? He stood on the truth in every sentence!"

Tan Sitong said this, Yang Rui, the oldest among them, nodded slightly. He had experience in traveling and assisted Zhang Zhidong. Although Xu Yifan's move was crazy, he really couldn't make any mistakes. Just Liangjiang didn't have to donate classes, so many scholars secretly applauded! And now the world is watching Liangjiang. Xu Yifan is so high-profile. It is difficult for local governors to follow suit. Everyone knows that in addition to guarding a certain status, the court now has the strength to fight Xu Yifan head-on. It can only compromise and secretly stumbling to him. As long as Xu Yifan doesn't tease his face for a while, there is always a way to think about it, and he can breathe a sigh of relief and maintain the face of the center.

But Xu Yifan has called out now. If the imperial center does not recover, how can those governors and governors who also hold military and wealth not follow suit? Now they are in power and self-centered and wait for the changes in the world to happen?

Xu Yifan's move seemed to be as domineering as his usual behavior, but it was an excellent way to break this dull situation with strength! How can these people in the center deal with it?

Everything is not important now, but the center should cheer up and come up with means to compete with Xu Yifan for the first time! After all, the center of the court has another advantage, which is the great reputation of the dynasty of more than 200 years!

But with them, the Emperor Party Qingliu, who was even more scholarly than them, and with the characters like the Hou Party, what methods can they use? Tan Sitong, is it better than Xu Yifan?

Thinking of this, Yang Rui felt a little regretful. Is it right or wrong to come to Beijing this time? Staying in Shanghai may not be unable to find a way out, right?

They didn't say anything, but Kang Youwei's face turned red. When he stood up, he wanted to refute Tan Sitong. Tan Sitong raised his clothes and said seriously: "This is Chuanqing forcing us to speed up! We must hurry up on this matter of peace talks. There is no need to say that Chuanqing's memorial shocks the world. We are in the center and must produce bigger and better news to overshadow him! Chuanqing cannot bear to see us lazy and lie high, and force us to move forward again! Tan has to move forward! Come on, prepare your clothes and hats, I want to visit Lord Shi Duoshi, and I must start the peace talks with Japan as soon as possible!"

Tianjin, British Concession.

Where the Japanese live is a hotel opened by a Japanese shipping company in Tianjin. It is dedicated to entertaining Japanese dignitaries from China to Japan. Hirofumi Ito and others arrived and requisitioned the place.

Not only was the guard at the door tightly guarded, but the British concession authorities also sent considerable concession police to maintain security here. The core figure in the Japanese delegation was undoubtedly Hirofun Ito. However, in the past few days, Hirofun Ito has been lying on the second floor with poor health. No matter who came to ask for a meeting, even the ministers of the great powers were all sorry to refuse. It really makes people wonder whether this Meiji Yuki was here to negotiate or recuperate.

However, everyone in the group knew that Hirobuki Ito was really in poor health.

In Japan, his body was getting worse and worse. When the wind and waves on the boat were bumpy, he went ashore in Tianjin and fainted again on the carriage. After staying, he fell asleep or woke up every day. But once he woke up, he asked someone to open the south-facing window, regardless of the cold wind in winter, and looked south-facing with a quilt. No one knew what he was waiting for.

But even if Hirobuki Ito is so sick, no one dares to go against his intentions! He is more majestic and silent. His skinny shoulders seem to support all Japan's hope!

The door was gently pushed open, and a member bowed respectfully at the door 90 degrees: "Your Excellency... Mr. Toushan has arrived..."

Ito Hirobumi was sitting on the tatami, with only a small ball. Inside the room, he saw his eyes flashing, struggling to sit up. The escort rushed in and supported him. Ito Hirobumi's voice was unexpectedly full of energy. I don't know how long it took to see this vigorous spirit in him!

"Toushanjun?Toushanjun! Please come in! Come in!"

A figure flashed at the door, but it was full of heads. He was wearing a Chinese cotton robe and silky jacket on the outside. He looked like a wealthy businessman in Tianjin, with a fake braid hanging behind him. Seeing Hirobuki Ito like this, his eyes flashed, which also scared Hirobuki Ito's haggard look now. Hirobuki Ito now doesn't even know if it has 90 kilograms!

"Your Mightiness……"

Since Ito Hiromitsu gave Takayama a special fee of 6 million yen, he has been obliged to stay in Northern China. All relations have been used, and all the ways they can take have benefited. He frantically collected all the information and information about the recent situation in the Qing Dynasty, and whether it was useless. Ito Hiromitsu's mental plan was probably only Too Mian could guess the most. When Ito Hiromitsu arrived, Too Mian did not visit him. He probably knew what Ito Mian was waiting for, but how many opportunities were there. Not only did it rely on Ito Mian's ability and strategy, but also the confusion and weakness of the Qing Dynasty itself!

The opportunity is so small that you can imagine, but they have to fight for it!

A small country misses its luck, and this is how difficult it follows.

Seeing Hirobu Ito looking at him with bright eyes, his head was full of fear of neglect, he hurriedly walked in and saluted in a regular manner. He also took out a stack of newspapers and handed them with his hands.

"Your Excellency, finally, I have arrived. As you expected, Xu Yifan was indeed a thunderous and decisive person... This is a memorial issued by him when he first arrived in Liangjiang... The Qing Dynasty's central government should be anxious..."

Hirobu Ito carefully read the newspaper copy over and over again, and finally stood up: "What's more regretful to have this opponent in fifty years of life? Well, let me, Toshifu Ito who came out of Yamaguchi, fight with him this last time!"

His tone was like a friendship between metal and stone, and the ominous and lonely meaning made a layer of cold sweat appear behind Toushan!

"Your Mightiness!"

Hirobu Ito stood straight, with a flushed look on his face, and quietly looked at Tooshan: "Toushan, we have experienced this era in this life. Do you think there is anything else that can't let go? Life is just like this. Don't worry about me. It's a blessing for us to bloom or wither in this era!"

He laughed and ordered loudly: "Prepare clothes and dresses, I'll go and visit the British Minister!"

Suzhou.

Two hours ago, Wu Yiming's cavalry flew straight into Suzhou City. These cavalry were dressed in a night of clothing, covered in smelly sweat, and bells were tied everywhere on horses. In the past, as long as there was a certain identity, who would not hide from these cavalry when they saw them not being able to stop. Today, the two cavalry entered Panmen, causing huge waves in Suzhou City.

"Chen Fenglou, Chen Junmen has arrived!"

Suzhou is now a refugee camp in Jiangning. During the two days, officials who were driven out by Xu Yifan continued to take boats and carriages and come in groups. They went to Ronglu to cry. Ronglu also mobilized himself and comforted him one by one. Almost all the officialdom in Suzhou were mobilized, and almost all the inns in Suzhou City were sealed off. These officials were arranged to live in and cook firewood and eat, all of which were expenses for the governor's yamen. Not only that, subsidies were also issued, with different official positions, and they could get twenty taels of silver a month until they were in charge of the miscellaneous areas.

There are many refugee officials, so there will be more trouble in Suzhou City. People cursing, visiting, and making trouble. People who are in a bad mood are jealous. People who are prostitutes in prostitution yards... Every place has trouble, Ronglu has to work hard to make peace. Ronglu has only one plan. Now everyone has to work together to fight his fucking Xu Yifan!

In the past few days, we have to settle them and return to Jiangning City's telegrams. The gentry from all over the country wrote letters and contacted the court to report the situation here. Ronglu had already lost a lot of weight. Last night, Jiangning General Yukun also arrived. The whole night, the Suzhou officialdom was in chaos and he didn't sleep at all! Ronglu ran around and came to entertain Yukun and talked with him. Yukun was fine. As long as he had finished the reception of the hundreds of people under his command, he had no special requests. He just lay on the couch and sighed. Ronglu, who was worried, also sat with him all night. The two were relatively speechless and less excited.

It is really a difficult task to deal with Xu Yifan!

There is always something that is indispensable between the two of them. Wu Yi Mingjun, let’s get there soon!

When the horse arrived, the two brothers were talking in a state of mind, and they heard footsteps outside the house staggered. Before the people arrived, the sound had already arrived. It was Ronglu's confidant family, and his voice was a little crying: "Zhongcheng, Zhongcheng, Chen Junmen, Chen Junmen has arrived, Chen Junmen has arrived!"

With a loud bang, Yu Kun threw the cigarette gun away from his hand! The Manchu general jumped up from the cigarette couch barefoot, staring at Ronglu with his eyes tightly, his lips squirming, but he couldn't say a word.

But Ronglu leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes closed, raised his head to the sky, murmured for no idea what he was saying.

To be honest, before Chen Fenglou and Wu Yiming's army arrived, if Xu Yifan simply used the power of the Imperial Guard to force Suzhou and smacked Ronglu Yukun and others. In fact, Ronglu's mission to deal with Xu Yifan would be no longer complete. What Xu Yifan wants to compete with the court is the general trend and status. If he does this, he will be too ugly when the time is far from ripe. He will not even have a cover, and he will pretend to be a country with a heart of heart?

But since Ronglu, who would be willing to post his life to serve the court like this? The work has to be done, and his own safety and wealth are not so irrelevant.

Once Chen Fenglou arrives, if they don’t start a war, they will be worry-free in Suzhou! They can entrench this stronghold and constantly cause disgust and cause trouble for Xu Yifan, and it’s the peace of Mount Tai! Could it be that Xu Yifan really dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers to fight Suzhou? Joke, Xu Yifan is not so stupid!

The two were so excited that they seemed to be something. The family had already pushed open the door. The master's future, which was the future of the servant. The family was so excited that they trembled all over, and kowtowed to her knees.

"The Chief of the Central Master is very happy. The Chen army traveled day and night, and finally arrived!"

Ronglu finally recovered and opened his eyes and nodded with a reserved look: "Go down and ask someone to prepare. I will welcome the Chen army thirty miles away!"

"Let's go too! There are not many loyal ministers in the Qing Dynasty, so the Chen army is one!" Yukun jumped and agreed.

Rong Lu stood up with a strong pressure and snorted: "The Chen army is here, I want to see if Jiangning has seen the temperature. They should have a fight with Xu Yifan too!"

"Old sister, I'm back!"

Pu Yang's loud voice came in from outside the yard. The servant who was in charge of the door quickly opened the door.

The house in Jiangning'an was far worse than the small building and waterfront in the capital. However, the houses near the three and the yards were very small. In addition to two close-fitting little girls, they hired four or five maids and servants in the local area. They didn't even have a cook, so they chose a clean restaurant on the street to make meals and delivered to their doors every day.

Although the place is small and life is simple, I can take care of him as close as my brother whom I feel most distressed, so I can take care of him. There are no more intrigues in the capital, and there are no more banner ladies chewing her tongue behind her back. Xiuning's face has a lot more smiles here. The little loli twins were also happy for her from the bottom of her heart when they saw the lady like this.

Pu walked into the small yard with his feet on his feet, looked at the bottom of the water tank with half teeth, reached out and picked up the gourd and scooped half a scoop of water, and drank it in a big mouthful of water: "Cold!"

Xiuning bit a needle, holding the uniform of the imperial guards that Pu Yang changed. Looking at Pu Yang's appearance, she reached out to twist his ears: "Boy, that's the water I watered the flowers! I'm thirsty, wouldn't I ask for water from a thermos? If I get diarrhea, I will see who will care about you!"

Pu Yang begged for mercy, and Xiuning then threw away his ears hatred, recuperated his hair yellow, and looked at his strong old brother: "Why are you back today? You are on duty at the Supervisor's Office, and you will only go home once every five days... What's wrong with him today? The coach is kind to you?"

Pu Yang smiled and said, "Hey! I'm going on a business trip with Dashang! In just three or two days, I have to go to Suzhou. Dashang is polite to us and let us go home and settle down... Old sister, if you follow our Dashang Xu, your brother is a hard-working life! We are cheap, but Paopao is so refreshed!"

"Go to Suzhou?" Xiuning was using a handkerchief to dust the stone bench inside the courtyard and was about to sit down. When she heard this, she straightened her waist.

"Suzhou is the territory of Jiangsu Governor Ronglu! How could you, General Xu? The Governor has always been an enemy, so how could he move lightly? He was so uncomfortable when he wanted to find Ronglu? What's the reason?"

Pu Yang laughed, saying that the Fourth Master Pu arrested 389 officials in one night and suppressed Jiangning General Yukun's proud story. He immediately told the story with a slight hurried look, completely ignoring Xiuning's face getting paler and paler.

"...Are those officials running to Ronglu? Fuck the turtle, can Ronglu accept the person driven away by the Grand Marshal? Not to mention challenging us! North Korea will only drive him away once, this time! The Grand Marshal has sent a memorial and telegraphed the world, and Liangjiang will refresh and improve and cheer up! Otherwise, can there be a good person in the world? Old sister, don't look at your brother's failure before, look at it, why would I be the president of the Imperial Guard for you to see!"

"You... your surname is Aisin Gioro..." Xiuning just listened silently, and after a while, she said quietly.

"What's wrong with Aisin Gioro? Aisin Gioro can't do serious things anymore? Old sister, let me tell you the truth. The Grand Marshal must be the future of a king of a different surname, and it is not impossible to go to Liangjiang in Yongzhen! I'm not happy to let me go back to Beijing and be named a prince! I'm so suffocating myself, how can I be as refreshed as I am now? Old sister, just wait and enjoy my blessing!"

Pu raised his head and finished speaking loudly, but he looked at his old sister looking at him with an extra complicated look. He couldn't say what this look was. He just felt that there was something in that look that he subconsciously wanted to escape.

At the end, Xiuning bit her thin white teeth and pursed her hair on her temples: "Let's go! Brother, please recommend me, I'm going to see you, Marshal Xu!"

With a bang, Pu stood up and sat on the ground. The sound of the sound alarmed the little loli twins who were ironing their clothes inside the house. One held the iron and the other held the clothes and looked at the door to see what was going on outside.

"Old sister, this is not a joke... The handsome man is not the old man. What is the matter if you, a woman, go to see him? Besides, what are you doing? Please ask me for a mission or something? I don't need it!"

Xiuning smiled faintly, but there was a lot of sadness in her smile: "It was for you... that the old sister left Beijing and realized that the family was precious to live a life... Brother, just believe me once and recommend it to her. Will it be successful?"

The wind blew gently, and Xiuning's slender body trembled slightly, and her beautiful face was at this moment.
Chapter completed!
