Chapter 565: Hard Capital
Bang, suddenly hit the telegram in his hand on the table, Liu Jun was a little unconvinced, the Japanese army of more than 20,000 people, could it be that they just admitted it and negotiated with themselves. This is very inconsistent with the spirit of Japanese bushido.
"Head, see if you want to agree with them." After seeing where Liu Jun finished pondering, Zhong Lin stepped forward and asked.
Don't agree? Liu Jun did not answer, but looked at the telegram again, and then asked Zheng Yiqian and Zhong Lin, who had already gathered around: "Tell me, how could the Japanese think of negotiating." ”
"If it were me, I would have negotiated." Zheng Yiqian didn't think about it, and said the answer directly.
Reason, what Liu Jun needs is reason.
"Obviously, more than 20,000 people were besieged by 70,000 or 80,000 people, and everyone can know what the result of the confrontation is, and the Japanese are also human beings, and they sacrifice fearlessly, which is something that no one wants, so for the sake of more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers, what other way out can there be except to negotiate surrender." Zheng Yiqian looked at Liu Jun's gaze and knew the answer he wanted, so she stepped forward and said......
It makes sense, Liu Jun nodded, but after so many years of interaction with Japan, Liu Jun still had an extra heart in his heart, and thought about it slightly, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin: "Call back, agree to temporarily stop the attack on Seoul, but you can't give the Japanese army too much time, and the departments still act according to the plan, encircle the Japanese army, and force it to surrender." ”
Just in case, the Japanese are not a good thing, Liu Jun is deeply rooted in his heart, he can't relax his vigilance against the Japanese army because of this incident, this is a must-have thing.
Pyongyang, Li Hongzhang's office, looking at Ding Ruchang standing in front of him, Li Hongzhang put down the pen in his hand: "How is it?" Does he have any news? ”
Ding Ruchang knew that he was referring to the handsome Liu Jun, and in the entire Liaodong who dared not to say the handsome directly, there was only Li Hongzhang.
"The marshal has called and agreed with our plan, but he asked us to continue to maintain pressure on the Japanese army, encircle the Japanese army, and said that if necessary, we can attack and not give the Japanese too much time." Ding Ruchang nodded and said.
En'en nodded slightly, Li Hongzhang was still very satisfied with Liu Jun's arrangement.
Pointing to Yang Shixiang beside him, Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "I know that in the negotiation, your First Corps can't find any capable people, so this time I will transfer Yang Shixiang to you and let him be in charge of this negotiation." Perhaps seeing Ding Ruchang's worries, Li Hongzhang said again: "Don't worry, this time the initiative is outside, and the Japanese soldiers are not qualified to negotiate conditions with us." ”
Hard, Li Hongzhang didn't know how many times this was hard, but he was able to speak so hardly, or after coming together with Liaodong, if it was in the original, borrowing him ten guts, he wouldn't dare to say such awesome words, after all, war, fighting is strength, and now Liaodong, strength is not only in Asia, even in the world, it is the number one.
According to the military assessment of various countries studied last year, the army of Liaodong ranked sixth, ahead of Germany, France, Britain, Tsarist Russia, and the United States. Then there is Liaodong, and in the navy, it is even more by leaps and bounds, actually ranked behind Britain, Germany, the United States, and France, ranking fifth in the world, and even surpassing Austria-Hungary. None of them are on the same level.
Since Li Hongzhang said so, Ding Ruchang also nodded, and the people he believes in now are two, one is Li Hongzhang, and the other is Liu Jun. When they say so, then they wave their own against it.
"Where are the Japanese negotiators?" Li Hongzhang, who lowered his head and thought about it for a while, asked.
"I have arrived in Pyongyang under the leadership of the 1st Army Guard Company, and now I have arranged to enter the hotel to rest, and I am ready to negotiate early tomorrow morning." Ding Ruchang quickly told Li Hongzhang the information.
Tomorrow, I took a look at the weather outside, and it will get dark in a few hours. Nodding slightly, Li Hongzhang agreed with Ding Ruchang's arrangement, after all, it was okay to let the Japanese negotiators take a break.
Pyongyang Piaoxiang Building, a branch opened here in Liaodong, is also the most luxurious restaurant in Pyongyang.
The fourth floor has always been used to receive customers, but the people in Pyongyang have found that since it opened this afternoon, soldiers have been stationed here, and for the people of Pyongyang, who are no longer unusual, that is, after seeing the two of them, they left from here, and they all knew that this was definitely some important person coming, because once an important person arrived in Pyongyang, they would be arranged here.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, how will I negotiate with Liaodong tomorrow A man in a suit looked at the Chief of Staff who was standing in front of the window in a daze, handed over a cup of tea and asked.
This time I came to Pyongyang in the hope that the First Army would be treated fairly after laying down its arms, and that it would not be like a few years ago when Liaodong was arrested as a laborer, not only did not have enough to eat, but also did some dangerous things.
"The army commander has given me a task, as long as Liaodong can agree and not take us to Liaodong to work hard, then we will lay down our arms and surrender, if Liaodong is not satisfied, then even if the fish die and the net is broken, we will not surrender."
This is the bottom line, or rather, this is a small requirement, because the First Army, now there is no qualification.
The Pyongyang conference room, where negotiations with the Japanese First Army were held, was held early in the morning, and the guards of the headquarters cleaned up the inside and placed tea and two flags on both sides.
Because Liaodong has not yet become a country, the flag placed on the Liaodong side is still the Yellow Dragon Flag, while the Japanese side is only a plaster flag.
At eight o'clock, the Liaodong negotiators represented by Yang Shixiang entered the conference room, and then less than five minutes later, the Japanese negotiators led by the chief of staff of the Japanese First Army, like a chicken in the soup, entered the meeting hall.
There is not the slightest suspense. Perhaps it was Yang Shixiang who grasped Japan's heart, and the Japanese side did not have any objections to the case file that escaped, and basically, the negotiations did not take much time, and in less than two hours, the two sides signed on it.
According to the agreement, the Japanese First Army will change the guards of Seoul and Liaodong at 8 a.m. on June 4, and then the Japanese First Army will be reorganized in the Seoul barracks, instead of serving as prisoners.
I took off a chapter at noon, and I have reposted it in the testimonial, thank you for your support
