Li Jingfang does have something, in this negotiation with the imperial court, Wu Tingfang is not the head of the negotiation group at all, but Li Jingfang, this matter is not an order issued by Liu Jun, it is a request of Wu Tingfang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At present, in his eyes, he values two things most, one is Li Jingfang, and the other is Tang Shaoyi, who served as ambassador in Moscow, of course, others, such as Lu Zhengxiang and others, are also very rare diplomatic talents.

Tang Shaoyi is not in China now, Lu Zhengxiang still needs to hone for a while, and now, what he can train is Li Jingfang.

Originally, Liu Jun's order was to let Wu Tingfang serve as the head of the negotiation, but after receiving the telegram, Wu Tingfang finally decided to reply to Liu Jun after thinking for a while, hoping to appoint Li Jingfang as the head of the negotiation group and explain the reason.

In terms of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he almost didn't manage it, and Liu Jun didn't know much about where the personnel training work was, but judging from Wu Tingfang's words, he hoped to train Li Jingfang, and from this point of view, Wu Tingfang's idea was good. Therefore, at noon the next day, Liu Jun changed the order and let Li Jingfang serve as the head of the negotiation group, with Wu Tingfang as his assistant.

"Uncle Wu, I'm a little nervous, I don't know how to face it tomorrow." This was the first time that Li Jingfang had served as the head of the negotiation group, and he was worried that the negotiations would not be good this time, and that the entire imperial court would be responsible for the war with Liaodong.

Hey, seeing Li Jingfang's worries, Wu Tingfang sighed, in fact, back then, when he did these things for the first time, the conditions were not much worse than now, the country was poor and weak, foreign enemies bullied, and there was no fair treatment in negotiations at all. Every time we negotiate, we are resisting pressure from all sides, but now, everything is not like this. Everything in Liaodong can already be equal to the Western powers, and even surpass them in some aspects, and from these aspects, the current environment in which Li Jingfang is located is the best.

"Don't be afraid, of course, uncle, when I was nervous for the first time, and that kind of negotiation is a negotiation that cannot be won at all, but you are different this time, it is a negotiation with a winning chance, so you don't have to worry too much in your heart?"

Li Jingfang didn't know much about Wu Tingfang's past, and he didn't know what Wu Tingfang was referring to when he said that the negotiation that could not be won at all.

"Uncle, what did you mean just now?" Li Jingfang is better than Tang Shaoyi, and if you don't know, you will ask.

"On the question of national strength, think about it, if you are allowed to negotiate with Britain and France in the position of the imperial court, what kind of result will it be. Wu Tingfang didn't know how to explain to Li Jingfang, so he could only make an analogy with Li Jingfang.

Li Jingfang is not stupid, and immediately understood that it was a problem of strength.

"I know what to do." Li Jingfang, who answered, stood up, laughed, turned around and walked out.

On the morning of July 27, 1905, after almost a month of negotiations broke down, Liaodong and the imperial court again began negotiations on the third floor of Zuixian Building.

For a month, Zaitao and the others had been in Zuixianlou for so long, and they had long wanted to talk to Liaodong.

The imperial court did not have any documents this time, they could only listen to it, so soon after the meeting began, Zaifeng began to express the views of the imperial court.

Li Jingfang has calmed down from the beginning of the chaos, he is indeed a diplomat, he entered the normal track in less than ten minutes, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became, almost as powerful as his father.

"This is our opinion, you look back and discuss, it's not too early, I think we should take a break, how about talking about it in the afternoon?" After throwing the document to Zaitao, Li Jingfang looked at the clock placed on the table in front of him and said.

It was less than ten o'clock and said that it was too late, was this not deliberate, seeing that Li Jingfang had already stood up from the chair, Zaitao couldn't wait to jump up and slap it, but in the end, he still endured this unintelligent move.

"What should I do, there are almost no major changes to the document, but the palace of the Chengdu Longquanyi generation will be lived in by our royal family for fifteen years, and after fifteen years, Liaodong will be recovered." Zaitao, who finished reading the document, said to Zhang Zhidong and Songpan beside him.

You should ask Cixi about this matter, what is the use of asking us, seeing Zaitao looking at himself and Songpan in surprise, Zhang Zhidong muttered in his heart, and then said: "Lord, let's go back and discuss, and then send a telegram to Chengdu." ”

In this way, Zaitao nodded, and then with a sigh of gratitude, several people stood up, returned to the room on the fourth floor to rest, and began to discuss.

Chengdu, today's weather is bright, Cixi, who rarely goes out, rarely appears in the back garden once, looking at the goldfish swimming on the lake in a daze.

The imperial court was finally able to have time to breathe, and just last night, a telegram came from the front line, and the Liaodong Army, which had been approaching, suddenly stopped. Stationed on the spot, these circumstances show that the Liaodong Army has stopped its offensive and has begun to wait for news of negotiations.

Ten days, although ten days is less, at least I can only think about ten days less, this is Cixi's simplest idea.

"Little Lizi, this noon meal or even in the future, the dishes are lighter, four or five dishes are fine, and we can't afford to be extravagant and wasteful from now on." Maybe it was something that came to mind, Cixi said to Li Lianying beside her.

Extravagance and wastefulness, Li Lianying, who heard this, looked puzzled and didn't understand what Cixi meant?

After a while. Li Lianying finally understood what Cixi was trying to tell herself.

It seems that Lafayette is going to decide to hand over the rights, otherwise, how can he let himself reduce the number of meals that used to be as high as thirty kinds of meals per meal to a fraction of a number.

"Lafayette, five or six dishes, isn't it too little, do you think you want to add one or two?" Li Lianying was a little distressed, what was going on, it couldn't let Cixi eat five or six dishes, it was too little. “

"That's it. Also, you will pass the order to the harem as soon as you go, and from now on, anyone who dares to eat more than six dishes will be expelled from the palace immediately. ”

Mom, it's going to be cleaned up, Li Lianying, who heard this, took a deep breath, and he didn't understand a little, what was going on with Cixi today, how could she give such a terrible order, and in terms of conservation, there was still mandatory. This was something that was unimaginable before. (To be continued.) )
