Chapter 358: The Zhang Yi Agreement
"I?"
Li Hongzhang looked at Zhu Ming with some depression, wanting to let the emperor loyal to the old man Zhang come to save him, but when he saw Zhu Ming's expression, he understood in his heart that this matter would be difficult to be good!
This incident itself is a disaster caused by his own son. If his son runs away, he can't escape his father.
He shook his head with a wry smile, and Li Hongzhang said seriously, "I don't want to do it either!"
This sentence expresses the helplessness of being a father!
At this moment, Old Man Zhang suddenly understood Li Hongzhang's difficulties. He glanced at Li Jingfang fiercely, then shook his sleeves and said angrily, "Okay, you are amazing, you can discuss it yourself, what else should I ask me to do?"
After saying that, the old man was about to leave, which made Li Hongzhang ugly. After all, he was the prime minister of the cabinet. For such a big thing, he "excluded" Old Man Zhang. What do Mi want to do?
Of course, Zhu Ming knew this kind of thing, and said with a wry smile, "Oh, that old man Zhang..."
"Xiangshuai————”
Zhu Ming said seriously, "You have to do this matter. Go with me to meet those little Japanese devils. I am the one who is in charge of the war, and you are in charge of the peace..."
Old Man Zhang was stunned and said randomly, "You don't think about it, I'm done!"
After saying that, his face slammed, glared at Li Jingfang, and said in a daze, "Look, this is the way to go! This is the king's way. With your little tricks, no one knows!"
As soon as these words were said, Li Hongzhang and Li Jingfang and his son were both embarrassed!
What this said, how can we play in the future?
You know, Zhu Ming doesn’t care, while other big guys are sincere Men Qing - you, Li Jingfang, won’t be able to do anything!
Whether it is the Navy or the 6th Army, the military power is in Zhu Ming's hands. Why are you jumping?
Old Man Zhang successfully presented a photo with the father and son of the Li family. He looked at Zhu Ming with a little joy and asked eagerly, "Then your Majesty, what should I do?"
Perhaps because of his mood, for some reason, Zhang Zhidong actually began to call himself an old man. Of course, Zhu Ming was determined not to admit that he had called out unintentionally, and then took the old man apart!
"Go and negotiate with Hirofumi Ito!"
Li Si said seriously, "What you said just now is right, and neither is right! Although our current navy has not achieved the highest combat power for various reasons, it is still OK to fight Japan!"
"What else are you talking about?" Old Man Zhang also had a bad temper. After all, he was the master who came from the suppression of peasant uprising back then, and at least he led the army.
Li Si pointed to Zhu Ming and said lightly, "Your Majesty wants to kill as little as possible! So, Your Majesty means the best strategy to wait until several real battleships we ordered from Western Europe come back before fighting, and the middle strategy is to wait until our own battleships come out before fighting. As for the worst strategy, that is what you just said, and you are fighting like this now..."
Forehead……
Zhu Ming's expression is like this: Uh (︶︿︶)=convex
What you always say is too unprofessional!
But in fact, Old Man Zhang only takes this trick!
Nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked seriously, "What kind of constitution should I discuss?"
Zhu Ming waved his hand and said heroically, "Just go and talk, you can do it yourself!"
Old Man Zhang was stunned and tears were coming out of his eyes...
What is this!
This is trust!
This is a great honor!
It is comparable to the ancient Zhang Yi, Su Qin, and even Zhang Qian and Su Wu...
This is a standard grace of knowing and knowing what you want, just like in ancient times: the king gave envoys and entrusted everything to others.
Zhang Zhidong was very moved, then turned around and left, while walking, waved his hand and said, "Old man, I'll go to Seoul now, and then go to Japan, and wait for the old man to talk about a bright world for you..."
Old Man Zhang is so excited!
In the Qing Dynasty, who can do this?
The Eternal Person of the Year
Zeng Guofan, a generation of royal nobles, and later Li Hongzhang, who was not afraid of his actions during negotiations? If it weren’t for relying on Zhu Ming, could Li Hongzhang get rid of the title of selling off the powerful ministers of the state?
Now it’s finally my turn to Mr. Zhang to seek benefits for the country!
Leave a name forever!
It's famous in history!
Who else can be me!
So, Zhang Zhidong appeared on the Korean Peninsula with an extremely fast itinerary. After a walk around Seoul, he looked around the Japanese military camps that had been burned into white land, and then went to Incheon and Zhenhai, looked at the current Japanese military camps, met with the local generals, and warned him, and went to Japan with great might under the reception of Ito Hiromoto!
This will not be Chunfan Restaurant, because Zhang Zhidong felt that he could not be like Zhu Ming. After all, he was a subject, so he chose Tokyo...
When the three 10,000-ton battleships guarding Zhang Zhidong appeared in Tokyo Bay, the Japanese felt a great insult!
Although they repeatedly claimed that this old-fashioned backward battleship was vulnerable to their new battleships, Hirofumi Ito was still a little worried!
The eldest empire opposite is so rich!
Our Japanese Empire also wants this kind of backward old-fashioned battleship.
He also knew that the countries on the other side had retired four such battleships. How could this be so luxurious?
Too much profiteering!
It is said that the latest battleship called "Zhu Ming" class has become a standard battleship of Western countries. How many such battleships did that bastard Zhu Ming order when he went to Western Europe?
A total of six ships!
well……
When will the group of red deer from the 6th Army know the dilemma of the empire?
In fact, a brigade was destroyed by Yuan Shikai's Huai Army in one battle!
Brother, how many divisions are there in our current Japanese Empire!
And it’s just facing the Huai Army, so what about the National Defense Forces?
Therefore, when the depressed Ito Hirobuki faced the aggressive old man Zhang, he was like a cockfighting that was defeated before he could fight!
And Old Man Zhang became a big red rooster who had become the champion of the cockfighting champion, and that was so imposing!
So, one was a political strategist with outstanding vision and the other was an old man who asked for a lot of money. Soon, the two made the following agreement on the Seoul incident in Korea between the Great Empire of China and the Great Japanese Empire:
Article 1: After ordering a ceasefire, the two sides agreed to determine the ceasefire from the date of signing the agreement. The troops of both sides should do their best to stop all and all kinds of hostile acts around North Korea, especially the Japanese government has the responsibility and obligation to clean up Japanese forces and individuals hostile to China. China may file an extradition trial for serious cases, and the Japanese government should cooperate. Regarding the ceasefire, when there is any doubt, the representatives of the participating countries will find out.
Article 2: The Chinese military shall retain its current status before the normal recovery of the areas involved in this Agreement without deciding the measures. This status shall be listed in Annex No. 1 to this Agreement.
Article 3: When the Japanese army retreats to the military camp in Zhenhai, the Incheon army should be sacked. The total number of people shall not exceed 3 ooo. Heavy weapons shall not be possessed. However, given the number of Japanese army to be accommodated, there are several troops that may be temporarily stationed in the adjacent areas of the above-mentioned areas. This place shall be listed in the second Annex No. 2 of this Agreement.
Article 4: To prove the retreat of both sides, a common committee is established and included in the AIA Committee. The committee will assist in the arrangement of transfers between the retreating Japanese army and the taken over Chinese army, so that when the Japanese army retreats, the Chinese army will immediately take over. The organization of the committee and its procedures shall be specified in Annex No. 3 of this Agreement.
Article 5: This Agreement shall take effect from the date of its signature.
It is known in history as the "Zhangyi Armistice Agreement", and it is also referred to as the "Zhangyi Agreement" for short!
When Old Man Zhang took this agreement to enter Tianjin for 6, his reputation was unparalleled and he became a national hero and was warmly welcomed by all walks of life.
But at the same time, some people began to "surprise of friendly countries" and criticized "the country of the Celestial Empire must follow the imperialist line", which made Old Man Zhang, who had always been a public intellectual, look at it and sigh.
Chapter completed!
