Zhong Lin squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Jun standing on the steps, looked down at the map he was holding in his hand, and said loudly: "Head, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this meal today." ”

What the hell, it's still so stingy to eat, Liu Junton's face was pulled into a black line, and he saw Zhong Lin walk in: "Boom, I'm going to have a meal soon." Still can't eat? ”

Zhong Lin knew that Liu Jun misunderstood what he meant, in his heart, as long as Liu Jun was willing, even if he ate every day, he would entertain him, so he waved his hand: "Head, I didn't mean that"

After speaking, he handed the telegram in his hand to Liu Jun: "It's Tianjin that makes you unable to eat." ”

Tianjin, Liu Jun frowned for a moment, then showed a smile, and said to Zhong Lin excitedly: "What's the matter, the old man agreed that our Lushun Army would go to Shandong." ”

Seeing that Zhong Lin neither shook his head nor nodded, Liu Jun opened the telegram in his hand strangely.

After a while, Liu Juncai asked calmly and lightly: "Who is the Japanese negotiation?" ”

Zhong Lin shook his head: "I don't know, but according to the analysis of the situation, it should be a thief official, maybe Ito Hirofumi or Inoue Xin."

Well, Liu Jun nodded, in his opinion, the Japanese army would not play tricks this time, and they would not dare.

Lowering his head and thinking for a while, Liu Jun raised his head: "Let Li He prepare, tomorrow I will go to Tianjin, you will also go, and Li He." ”

Seeing that Zhong Lin was leaving, Liu Jun added: "The arranger informed me that I still have to go to dinner." ”

"Okay." Zhong Lin nodded, showed a smile and walked out the door.

Tianjin Wharf, the road from the Governor's Palace to the Tianjin Wharf was once again under martial law. Now, most of the officials on the dock are wearing red tops, who have come to greet Liu Jun on the orders of the Governor's Palace.

Among the people who greeted him, there was one person who was particularly conspicuous, all of them were wearing Qing official uniforms, and he was the only one wearing a suit.

He knew that Liu Jun was coming today, and he also knew that Liu Jun would definitely come back, because the agreement that Japan was going to negotiate with the Qing State at that time was still issued by him in Germany.

Klinder knew that once the negotiations were made, the Qing State would definitely send a person, Li Hongzhang, and the second Li Hongzhang, who would definitely bring Liu Jun.

The purpose of his visit this time was to greet him, and to meet the drawings.

Liu Jun flickered sixteen German merchant ships at once, and said that he would give the drawings within half a month, but now, for a month, even a fart, when he saw it, this really made Klinder a little anxious. Therefore, he wants to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with Liu Jun.

Yang Shixiang, who was dressed in an official uniform, looked down at the change in his hand, at eleven o'clock, according to the time and speed of Liu Jun's departure, it is estimated that it should be almost there.

On the sea in the distance, there was a whistle, followed by two ships emitting billowing smoke and slowly heading towards the port of Tianjin.

The warship was getting closer and closer, and when Yang Shixiang saw the powerful ship behind the Yellow Dragon Flag on it, he was also shocked in his heart.

He originally thought that the two warships that Liu Jun bought were laughing warships, but now it seems that where are the small warships, they are bigger guys than Dingyuan Zhenyuan.

Liu Jun put pressure on the Japanese to negotiate this time, so he brought out three of the most elite warships at once, Hashitachi, Shichang and Bu Toad. He made it clear that he was telling the Japanese that this time was not good, and Lao Tzu would definitely be able to drive the warship to Tokyo to bomb you.

As for the Obihashi Stand, Liu Jun's idea and purpose are very simple.

Shame on the Japanese. Ten minutes later, the warship slowly docked in port, and Liu Jun, accompanied by Zhong Lin and Li He, got off the pedal of the warship in a military uniform from the Qiaoli, and greeted Yang Shixiang affectionately when he went ashore.

Turning his head to see that Clint was also there, Liu Jun rolled his eyes slightly, knowing what he was doing: "Lao Ke, Ann knows what you are doing, I will do something, you can rest assured, when I clean up the Japanese, I will talk to you immediately." ”

In the Tianjin Governor's Palace, Liu Jun once saw Li Hongzhang sitting in the study.

On the way here, Liu Jun already knew the general situation.

It turned out that after receiving the destruction of the Combined Fleet, Japan knew that it was no longer able to send reinforcements to support Shandong and Korea, and in order to stabilize the current interests of Korea and the two divisions of Shandong from being annihilated, and more importantly, the national treasury was already unable to support it. After discussion, Ito Hirobumi and the cabinet reported to the emperor and asked for negotiations with Kiyokoku.

Emperor Meiji had already lost confidence in this war, so he didn't say anything, just nodded, meaning that you can do this thing.

Seeing that the emperor had acquiesced in it, Hirobumi Ito asked Germany, which had a good relationship with the Qing country, to convey the message of peace on his behalf. After receiving an accurate response from the Qing State, Japan formed a delegation headed by Hirobumi Ito and Shin Inoue as his deputy, and after leasing a British merchant ship, arrived in Tianjin one day ahead of Liu Jun.

This time, the imperial court still made Li Hongzhang the minister of negotiations, responsible for negotiating with Japan, and Li Hongzhang knew Liu Jun's ability, and once again begged Liu Jun to be his deputy. The court didn't think about this and agreed.

"Old man, I haven't seen you for a few months, you're young." Looking at Li Hongzhang sitting at the desk, Liu Jun smiled. He smiled and smiled.

Li Hongzhang raised his eyes and looked at Liu Jun, he didn't expect that this guy had only been seen for a few months, and now he had an army of more than 100,000 troops, and they were all the elite of the elite. His Huai army will not be this man's opponent.

With a smile, Li Hongzhang stood up and pointed at Liu Jun: "Rabbit cub, you fought well in Liaoyang, but the only deficiency is that you abducted nearly 20,000 people from my Huai Army and Heilongjiang Army, is it a bit excessive." ”

Liu Jun was most afraid that Li Hongzhang would mention this, so he rolled his eyes, and Liu Jun hurriedly said: "How can it, isn't this the Korean war tight, my troops are not enough, so I will borrow them for the time being." ”

borrowed and used, looking at Liu Jun's expression, he will not pay it back. Li Hongzhang also knew that once he fell into the hands of Liu Jun, he would be dreaming if he wanted to come back, so he was just joking just now.

"My lord, lunch is ready." A maid walked in, breaking the silence of the study.

Li Hongzhang came to his senses and clapped his hands continuously: "Say it after eating, say it after eating." ”

In the hall, several people were already full of wine and food, Liu Jun sat next to Li Hongzhang, unceremoniously picked up an apple, took a bite, and looked at Li Hongzhang, who was smoking dry tobacco. He knew what Li Hongzhang was worried about.

"Old man, are you worried that the Japanese army is playing tricks again?" Liu Jun swallowed the apple.

Li Hongzhang nodded and said lightly: "I have this idea, after all, they were like this last time." ”

"Hey, Liu Jun waved his hand, and then said: "The old man can rest assured, this time they can send the prime minister to negotiate, and they are a little sincere, besides, he doesn't have a combined fleet, even if he wants to fight, what kind of troops can be transported." Fishing boats. ”

Liu Jun dispersed the doubts in Li Hongzhang's heart in a few words.

Hearing this, Li Hongzhang smiled and talked about the matter: "Tomorrow, it will be the first day of negotiations, old man, you, Shixiang and Wu Tingfang, as well as my son Li Jingfang, will all play this negotiation, you see how we should deal with it:

Liu Jun wiped his mouth with a towel next to him: "What do you mean, old man." ”

Li Hongzhang frowned, Liu Jun didn't actually ask the meaning of the court, but what he meant, the backbone has already appeared, but he was also warm when he heard this, after all, Liu Jun cared about himself as an old man.

After thinking about it slowly, Li Hongzhang remained silent: "How about the Japanese army evacuate Weihai and evacuate North Korea, and compensate me for the Qing Dynasty's military expenses of 50 million taels?" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Liu Jun, wanting to see Liu Jun's expression

Regarding Li Hongzhang's statement about the Japanese army's withdrawal from Weihai, Liu Jun did not object, but on the issue with North Korea, Liu Jun did not agree very much, and Liu Jun thought that the compensation was less.

After thinking for a while, Liu Jun raised his head: "Old man, I am quite in favor of the Japanese army's withdrawal from Weihai, but in Korea, let's not force the Japanese army to withdraw, leaving the Japanese army in Korea." ”

What does this mean, Li Hongzhang suddenly wondered, such a good opportunity, he didn't understand why Liu Jun wanted to leave the Japanese army in Korea.

Seeing Li Hongzhang's doubts, Liu Jun smiled and said: "Old man, once the Japanese army withdraws from North Korea, we will have no reason to station troops in North Korea, and that will seriously affect my plan, on the contrary, if North Korea does not withdraw, then I will have an excuse to garrison North Korea." Words like that"

Oh, Li Hongzhang suddenly understood what Liu Jun meant, and he also knew what Liu Jun wanted to do.

Liu Jun wants to expand his territory. To swallow North Korea.

Hiss, Li Hongzhang gasped, looked at Liu Jun lightly, and couldn't speak for a long time
