The next day, the British Empire Legation was still full of people, and all the envoys of all countries rushed to the Legation. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]

As the prime minister's general minister of national affairs, Duanjun Wang Zaiyi was late.

After Zai Yi took four square steps and came to the room, he laughed and made a circle, and laughed: "Everyone's offensive, Zai Yi is late, and I hope you will forgive me, hahaha......"

The envoys of all countries looked coldly at this prince of the Qing Dynasty, who was the one who tried his best to persuade the imperial court to appease the Boxers, legalize the Boxers, and at the same time instigate the Boxers to make trouble, but at this juncture, everyone did not want to make extraneous branches, and only thought about disbanding the Boxers as soon as possible, as long as they could safeguard the interests of all countries, they did not mind that the Qing government had one more prince and one less prince.

Zhu Erdian sneered: "King Duanjun, it's really majestic lately, this time the envoys of our countries have made an appointment to meet King Duanjun together, and King Duanjun also knows what's going on?" ”

Zai Yi smiled and said: "This, you are all busy people, what can provoke you to come forward together, my shelf as the king of Duanjun is indeed big enough." ”

Corna shouted angrily: "Zai Yi, don't pretend to be confused, now, within the two provinces of Zhili and Shandong, hundreds of thousands of Boxers have gathered, unprovoked attacks on churches all over the country, nearly 100 churches have been burned by this group of chaotic people, the property of the church has also been looted, and even the missionaries of our countries have unfortunately been killed by them, Zai Yi, if you don't give us a satisfactory explanation today, I'm afraid, you, the prince of the county, should also be unstable!" ”

Zai Yipi looked at Kearna with a smile, and said in a dark voice: "Mr. Körna, is my county prince doing a stable job, and it is not something that you, a foreign minister, can decide?" As for the Boxer Rebellion, I'm sorry, but I am adhering to the will of the above, and now in China, the parishioners in various parts of the country have followed the forces of your foreigners, oppressed the local people, and did all kinds of evil, which provoked the rebellion of the Boxers, and the burning of the church was their own fault, who will complain, as long as they keep to themselves, most of the Chinese people are good-hearted, how can they burn down the church for no reason, or even kill the missionaries? ”

Zhu Erdian said coldly: "King Duanjun, this matter is very important, we ministers have already received a telegram from China, the government reprimanded us for not protecting the overseas Chinese effectively, allowing the Chinese to harm their own people, and plundering our national property, if there is no improvement, we will face great pressure, Duanjun King, I suggest you, it is better to be clear-headed, now all countries are jointly putting pressure on you, that is, you want to disband the Boxers, you don't make mistakes!" ”

Zai Yi's face was straight, and he replied: "Mr. Zhu Erdian, I'm afraid of what you said, it's hard for me to agree, the Boxers are the righteous people of our country, full of blood and righteousness, supporting the country and danger, if we disband and even suppress the Boxers in the Qing Dynasty, are we still their parents?" In a word, please restrain the missionaries of various countries and let them keep to themselves, and we Boxers will definitely not harass the church again. ”

Zhu Erdian said angrily: "Presumptuous! Our missionaries have come to China thousands of miles away to preach enlightenment to you unreached people, it is for you to know the glory and grace of God, this is a great gift, you will take revenge, do you want to burn all the jade? ”

Zai Yi was not in a hurry, and said: "Mr. Zhu Erdian, you have your Western beliefs, we have our Chinese Taoism, each has nothing to do with it, you think that only God can save the world, we think that the Buddha can also transcend people to the world of bliss, you think that only the constitution is clear, but we think that our Confucian Taoism is more profound than yours, why are you aggressive?" How can the Christianity of Confucianism be compared with Confucianism and Taoism, how can we abandon our roots and try to preach in China, it is simply impossible! ”

Mu Dan replied: "Mr. Zaiyi, we in the West advocate freedom, whether the people believe in Jesus, or believe in Allah and Buddha, that is their own business, we will not impose interference, they have the freedom of unbelief, but also have new freedom, this is the freedom given to them by God, you blindly suppress our Western missionaries to preach in China, this has no human rights at all, your Qing government will be unanimously condemned by the international community!" ”

Zai Yi replied indifferently: "Mr. Mu Dan, you said well, you believe in your Orthodox Christianity, we believe in our Confucianism and Buddhism, it has nothing to do with it, but you don't want to stretch out your hand to our Great Qing Kingdom, we are a simple prince, and your countries still want to interfere arbitrarily, is this what you call freedom, Lao Tzu doesn't want such freedom?" ”

Zhu Erdian finally couldn't bear it anymore, and roared angrily: "Zaiyi, you are so ignorant, as the minister of the British Empire, I tell you clearly, if you don't declare the Boxers illegal, disband or even eliminate the Boxers, we will jointly send troops to the Qing Dynasty!" When the time comes, I don't guarantee that the scene of burning the Old Summer Palace will be repeated again! ”

The burning of the Old Summer Palace was originally a pain in the hearts of the Manchu nobles, but now it was unceremoniously lifted off by Zhu Erdian, and Zaiyi's face changed as a member of the Manchu royal family, isn't this a blatant slap in the face, our Eight Banners don't care about anything else, what we care about most is a face!

Zai Yi said in a cold voice: "Zhu Erdian, I clearly told you that you want me to disband the Boxers, there is no door, and Lao Tzu doesn't want to destroy the Great Wall yet!" Isn't it just the killing of a few missionaries? There are countless Chinese people killed by your countries every year, how can you give us a satisfactory explanation of the Qing Dynasty! ”

The Japanese envoy Nishitokujiro jumped out impatiently and shouted: "In this case, then we will start a war, only war, can make you Manchu fools gain some memory, our samurai of the Japanese Empire have already prepared for war, Zaiyi, you Qing Dynasty is waiting to accept the wrath of our countries!" Mu Dan also began to shout: "That is, start a war, since your Qing government does not act, then don't blame us for being polite, Lao Tzu will once again drive your queen mother and emperor out of Beijing City!" Zai Yi's face turned red, and he roared angrily: "Dream, Mu Dan, you Tsarist Russia deceived people too much, last time you made a sneak attack, and you got some advantages, and now our court has hundreds of thousands of Boxers and 100,000 new troops, you can try it and see if you can take advantage!" You guys are not easy to mess with, Lao Tzu is not a vegetarian anymore, his head has a big scar on his head, and our Eight Banners have not been seeded yet! Even if you don't start a war, Lao Tzu will lead the Boxers to drive you bandits out of China, and only we Manchus are the masters of this land! ”
