Although Hirofumi Ito was fully responsible for the peace talks as he wished, and this also means that after returning to China, Katsura's cabinet will definitely collapse in this defeat, and he can form a cabinet again to regain the government and reach the peak of power. But after all, it is a treaty that is to lose power and humiliate the country, and the premise is to sell most of the country's interests.

Although Hiromoto Ito is an absolute politician, he is also a descendant of an authentic Yamato nation. He felt not the same as he felt at the expense of so many national interests as the price of returning to power.

So, Hirofumi Ito, Hiroshiro Togo and Aritomo Yama Prefecture secretly sat in a corner of the hall at the beginning of the dance, and the three of them sighed and drank with muffled wine.

Yama Prefecture Yuto threw the wine glass in his hand on the table and cursed: "Bastard, the 100,000 elite army of my empire was trapped in North Korea and the Northeast. It really lost all the faces of the emperor. Dongxiang, if your fleet had not failed at sea, the North Korean army would not have had trouble resupply, and it would have been frozen to death and starved to death." Yama Prefecture Yuto drank and drowned, he scattered his anger directly on Hirahachiro Togo.

Togo Heihachiro smiled contemptuously: "Old Master Yama Prefecture, please don't insult the soldiers of my imperial navy. They are all good, but the Qing fleet is too powerful. Especially Tang Jian, who uses troops like a god, is a terrible opponent."

"Ha, Dongxiang, don't find excuses for failure if you lose the war. You are cowardly, cowardly! You are not worthy of being a warrior of the Empire. Humph, a Beiyang fleet that has been reorganized for less than six years actually defeated the most elite navy of the Empire. You are incompetent, you are making excuses." Yuto Yama County suddenly took a sip of wine and continued to curse: "If it weren't for you, the imperial army wouldn't be trapped in North Korea. Just those Russians? It's all Dongxiang that you haven't guarded the empire's maritime supply line."

"You..." Hirahachiro Togo could not stand the constant accusations of Yama Prefecture, and said angrily: "Your Excellency Yama Prefecture, you have never fought with a terrible opponent like Tang Jian, so you are not qualified to comment on my faults at all."

"Haha!" Yuto Yama Prefecture sneered: "I haven't fought with Tang Jian? Dongxiang, just wait. As long as Your Excellency Ito returns and approves the decision to expand the army. In less than five years, I will definitely wave my command knife like last time, as I did, as I did, as I did, and directly attack the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and fight directly to Weihaiwei!"

"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore. Do you think the empire is too embarrassed?" Hirofumi Ito interrupted the two's argument and said, "There is an old Chinese saying that you should lie on firewood and taste gall. You should work hard!" Hirofumi Ito depressedly drank all the wine in the glass. He cursed in his heart: "The warrior is the warrior!"

"Haha, Your Excellency Ito, I am so happy today! I, Li Hongzhang, can't argue with you, I, Li Hongzhang, cannot tell you what the landlords are. Is it? Come on, I will give you a cup of three." Li Hongzhang walked to Hiromon Ito and the other two with the help of Li Jingfang.

Li Hongzhang, who was still speechless in the morning, was now like a bell. After saying a glass of wine, he came to the front of the three of them.

After hearing this, Hirobuki Ito cursed in his heart: "Xiaguan Chunfan Tower is clearly Japan's territory, why did you become a landlord?" However, Hirobuki Ito did not point it out directly. For a person who is about to lie, he didn't want to spend so much verbal talk. Besides, he also knew his current defeated person, so Hirobuki Ito just responded with a slight smile: "Hey, it turns out to be Lord Li, I'm in good health recently!"

"I am very strong in my body. I won't bother the Prime Minister." Li Hongzhang aggravated the pronunciation of the Prime Minister.

Hirobu Ito suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled again: "Yes, yes, Lord Li, great blessings and tranquility will surely live for a hundred years."

Li Hongzhang heard the sarcasm in Ito Hirobuki's tone but didn't care. He happily toasted a glass of wine, nodded and left with the help of Li Jingfang.

Suddenly, Li Hongzhang turned his head and added, "I forgot one thing. Lord Ito, after returning to China, I will take over as the admiral of Taiwan. I hope that your country's army will withdraw as soon as possible. When I take office, if I see the Japanese army with weapons in Taiwan, I will treat it equally as an invader, haha." After that, I disappeared from Hirobuki Ito's vision tremblingly.

Hirobu Ito gritted his teeth and cursed: "Baga!" Then he slapped the wine glass in his hand to pieces, and red blood instantly oozed out of his fingers.

Togo Hirahachiro didn't understand Chinese, so he asked, "Grandma Ito, what did that old man say to make you so angry?"

"Come on, let's continue to drink!" After saying that, Hirobuki Ito swept away his previous anger and toast Togo Heihachiro and Yuto Yama Prefecture with a smile. If others saw it, they would know how hideous Hirobuki Ito's smile was at this time.

When Li Hongzhang walked to the door, dense beads of sweat had already emerged from his head and he started coughing violently. Li Jingfang hurriedly handed Li Hongzhang a handkerchief.

Li Hongzhang covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed violently again. Li Jingfang took the handkerchief that Li Hongzhang used and saw that it was covered with black blood clots.

Li Jingfang said sadly: "Father, you..."

"Silly child." Li Hongzhang touched Li Jingfang's head lovingly and said, "I'm fine, I can still hold on. I, Li Hongzhang, made countless military achievements and devoted my life to the Qing Dynasty. But when I was old, I had to help Lao Fu sign those bullshit contracts against my conscience, which was cursed by millions of people. But am I willing to do this? If I don't stand up, who else can stand up in the Qing Dynasty? Cough cough..." Li Hongzhang coughed violently again.

"I am content to win a game when I die, especially when I see Hirobu Ito in a mess. Although I can't beat the shame of Sino-Japanese War, it looks really relieved, relieved! Cough cough..." Li Hongzhang has now reached the point where he will cough violently once after saying a few words.

Li Jingfang said with tears in his eyes: "Father, your health is important, you should go back and rest quickly. If you have any questions, I'll talk about it tomorrow!"

"No, no, I can't speak up today. I'm past today and I don't know if there is a master tomorrow. I can say a few words." Li Jingfang nodded with tears in his eyes. As Li Hongzhang's son, he knew Li Hongzhang's stubbornness. Since he wanted to say it, he would definitely not be able to stop him.

"Fang'er, remember, Lord Tang is my benefactor, he fulfilled my last wish. No matter what he does in the future, you must support me, do you know?" Li Hongzhang's face was pale at this time, but he was still talking nonstop.

"Okay, okay, son, listen, I will support you no matter what Lord Tang does in the future!" Li Jingfang was afraid that Li Hongzhang would be angry, so he quickly responded.

"Well, that's right. I have disciples all over the world. At least half of the local officials in the court are disciples of your father. You not only need to support you, but also advise them to support Lord Tang." Li Hongzhang added.

"Well, I know, father, but what is Lord Tang going to do? He must support so many people?" Li Jingfang said while wiping his tears.

"Haha, silly boy, can't you still see it?" Li Hongzhang smiled, "I read countless people with a shout. From the beginning, I knew that he was not a thing in the pool, but I still took a look at one point."

"What happened to you?" Li Jingfang asked.

"Haha, he is even more powerful than I thought." Li Hongzhang said with praise, "I lived so old that I realized when I was old that the Qing Dynasty had already ended, and Tang Jian was the one who saved the people of the Qing Dynasty from thousands of water and fire."
