Licha Hotel received a notice from time travelers early in the morning, asking to set up a press conference venue in the hotel. "Although it was very hasty, Licha Hotel's work efficiency was quite high, and just a few days ago, a press conference was just held, so the staff of Licha Hotel are also familiar with the road, unstable, and there was no chaos.

Originally, the Time Traveler Plan News Conference started at 11 o'clock, but at around 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock, 3 or 4 o'clock had gathered, and even the cameras had more than 1 o'clock. Among them, there were nearly 3 o'clock reporters, and about 1 o'clock were about to hear the news to watch the fun. Seeing this, Qin Zheng decided to hold a news conference in advance.

The reporters who arrived were naturally happy. After all, it was a bit too hard to wait like this. The press conference started early and it was better to get big news early, so I felt more at ease.

So Qin Zheng brought a folder to the main seat and said, "Dear reporters, friends, welcome to attend this press conference. Due to the haste, it may cause some inconvenience to you. We apologize. You may be a little strange, because at this time, we should be negotiating with various countries in Jing'an Temple. How could we hold a press conference here? In fact, we also made a temporary decision for this press conference. And the reasons for the whole are all understood later."

This opening remark immediately aroused the interest of the reporters present. Qin Zheng continued: "Just an hour ago, we were indeed negotiating with various countries in Jing'an Temple, but on the spot, we made a decision, which is why we hold a press conference now, that is, we decided to withdraw from this Shanghai negotiation."

After saying this, there was a "boom" sound at the scene, and a burst of mixed discussions sounded, because the news was indeed too shocking, all the reporters and other people present were shocked, and immediately a reporter asked loudly: "Why? Why do you withdraw from this negotiation?"

After the discussion calmed down a little, Qin Zheng said, "The reason for our withdrawal from this negotiation is very simple." As he said, he took out a piece of paper from his folder, waved it, and said, "This is a telegram from the Qing court to Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang yesterday, requiring Li Zhongtang to sign a treaty with various countries as soon as possible and accept all the conditions proposed by various countries to the Qing government. So what are the negotiation conditions proposed by various countries to the Qing government and the content of the telegram, I will not read them one by one here, but write them on a large wooden board, so you can see clearly."

After saying that, someone immediately carried two wooden blocks, one of which wrote the negotiation conditions proposed by various countries to the Qing government, and the other with the content of the telegram. However, there were too many people present, only the people in the front row could see, while the people behind could not see it. So Qin Zheng announced that the press conference would be suspended for 30 minutes, and the reporters present would take turns to look and copy it. In addition, they took the original message to the camera and asked them to take photos.

The time was not long, and the reporters who had read the contents of the two wooden boards were also talking, and the voice this time was much louder than before. First, it was now a pause time and could speak freely; second, the negotiation conditions proposed by various countries to the Qing government were too harsh, which was much stricter than the [Treaty of Shimonoseki] five years ago. After all, the [Treaty of Shimonoseki] was just a cede to the compensation, but there was no right to garrison, and this time it was all. Therefore, most of the reporters were very angry after reading it, and many people started cursing in all respects. Although some of them were less courageous and dared not speak, their anger was already written on their faces. After all, the current situation was much better than when signing the [Treaty of Shimonoseki]. It could be said that it was beneficial to the Qing court, but the Qing court had to sign a more harsh treaty with other countries than the [Treaty of Shimonoseki], which was difficult for any normal Chinese to accept.

Qin Zheng and others observed the performance of the people and listened carefully to the audience's remarks. However, what surprised them was that most of them cursed was Li Hongzhang, who scolded Li Hongzhang and was treasoning the country. Although a few people pointed the finger at the court, they were just talking in general and their words were no longer as fierce as scolding Li Hongzhang.

This made Qin Zheng and others a little amused and cry. They didn't expect that Li Zhongtang would be caught in the attack. However, the [Treaty of Shimonoseki] was indeed Li Hongzhang who took the blame for the Qing court, so it was not too surprising that he was caught in the attack this time.

After about 30 minutes, basically everyone had finished reading and copying it. They all returned to their own positions and sat down, waiting for Qin Zhengyan. And at this time everyone estimated that Qin Zhengyan would definitely have some big information.

Qin Zheng said: "Before this negotiation, the principle we determined was to safeguard China's interests, not to cede land or pay compensation. Moreover, during the negotiations in the past few days, we have been trying our best to fight for this goal. All these conditions proposed by various countries were rejected righteously. But what we did not expect was that while we were trying our best to fight for China, the Qing court, the supreme ruler on the land of China, fully agreed to the conditions of various countries, and sold out national interests, and let all our efforts be useless. We have no way to let the Qing court change the resolution, but we cannot sign such a treaty to be a traitor, so we decided to withdraw from this negotiation."

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, the audience fell silent. Because Qin Zheng did not point the finger at Li Hongzhang, but pointed directly at the Qing court, and even used fierce words such as "national interests" and "traitors". Although Shanghai's atmosphere is open and the newspaper industry is relatively prosperous, the people can also come into contact with a large number of new ideas and new concepts. Many newspapers will also publish some articles criticizing current problems. From the report to [Report], large newspapers that mainly report orthodox news often express some critical editorial and newspaper comments to the Qing court. However, they usually point the finger at ministers, and rarely target the Qing court. Even if they have it, they just try it out and point out in a simple way, or they are just using the Spring and Autumn style and are not allowed to be the key points.

This is mainly because the Qing court had more than 25 years of rule in China and was deeply rooted, and the authority of imperial power was even more than 200 years in China. Therefore, the influence of imperial power could not be eliminated in a short period of time.

Xiang Qin Zheng had never spoken fiercely in the Qing court. Although the reporters knew that overseas Chinese were not subjects of the Qing court, they were still very surprised, so no one spoke for a while, and the venue suddenly became completely quiet.

Obviously, Qin Zheng was not very satisfied with this result. The reason why he led the finger to the Qing court was actually to push all the reasons for the breakdown of the negotiations to the Qing court, and showed that overseas Chinese did not take the Qing court seriously at all, thereby cracking down on the authority of the Qing court. But he also knew that it would take time to force the Chinese people of this era. Therefore, Qin Zheng said: "This is what we want to announce. The following is the time for the questioning of the reporters. If you have any questions, you can raise your hand to ask questions now."

The reporters present at this time had not yet come to their senses from Qin Zheng's words, so no one asked for a moment. After two or three minutes, a reporter raised his hand and was lit by Qin Zheng. The reporter said: "Your side announced that you would withdraw from this negotiation, so what is your next step?"

Qin Zheng said: "Our next action will be decided by our executive committee consultation, so I cannot answer the questions you asked now, but one thing I can answer you is that we will definitely take action."

With a leader, there were more reporters following him. As soon as Qin Zheng finished answering, one reporter immediately raised his hand. Qin Zheng clicked another reporter, and the question he asked was: "Will you start a new war in the next step? Will you attack Shanghai?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "I just said that our next action will be decided by our Executive Committee after consultation, but we will definitely take actions that we think are appropriate, so I can only answer you that all actions are possible."

The next reporter asked: "This time you withdraw from negotiations, will you not negotiate with other countries again?"

Qin Zheng said: "Of course not. We have always been peace-loving and advocated resolving disputes in the form of negotiations. War is just a means of self-defense that can only be used when we are not allowed. But peace is by no means obtained by giving alms from other countries, nor by selling off their own interests. Therefore, we hope to negotiate with other countries to resolve China's wars. However, if it is a negotiation based on these conditions proposed by various countries, we will never participate."

At this time, another reporter said: "Mr. Qin, although the conditions proposed by various countries are harsh, they are accepted by the court's resolution. It seems inappropriate for you to withdraw from the negotiations so rashly and deny the court's resolution. Perhaps the court was deceived by evil and did not understand the matter, so that this was the worst strategy. You should advise the court, explain the interests and interests, persuade the court to take back the order, and then continue to negotiate with other countries. How can you withdraw from the negotiations lightly? Where will this go to the court and the country?"
