Li Hongzhang: "The Japanese really have such great ambitions" Chen Qin exclaimed: "Then do we still want to sign a trade treaty with them, this small country is so terrible" Young Master Meng sighed, "What I said, it's only a small part, although this country is small, don't treat them as a small country, such an idea, in the future, it will be a history of big losses, you know better than me, when did this country stop piracy, they can only rob me Daqing, and these latest trends in Japan, It's all what I got for a lot of money, and it's definitely just the tip of the iceberg, it's not good, they already have a complete set of aggression plans for our Qing Dynasty, and they still have to conclude a treaty, as long as it's a fair and reasonable treaty, there is no harm in signing a treaty, and it can also let Western countries see the diplomatic progress of our Qing court, and they can also better understand Japan, and it doesn't hurt to contain their espionage activities on our side. ”Li Hongzhang felt that Xuan Yuemeng was a little alarmist, and felt that Xuan Yuemeng might have exaggerated the harm of the Japanese because of some kind of holiday with the Japanese, and he knew about the fact that the Japanese had run a trading company, and he also knew that the Japanese had an unpleasant quarrel with Xuan Yuemeng in the American concession yesterday.Li Hongzhang nodded, "Yes, Yue Meng is right, although this small country is small, it can't be regarded as child's play, we must make a treaty of absolute equality, you have to worry more, the headquarters has other official business." ”Xuan Yuemeng sighed in his heart, he had already heard that Li Hongzhang did not take what he said to heart, he knew that Li Hongzhang had Li Hongzhang's difficulties, Li Hongzhang was not the supreme ruler of the country, he was just a pastemaker, where there was a problem, Li Hongzhang went to fill the loopholes, but he was still very disgusted with Li Hongzhang's attitude of not taking his words seriously Chen Qin and Xuan Hongtao hurriedly agreed, and then sent Li Hongzhang out of the official room.Chen Qin: "Yue Meng, you and your father will set the matter of the treaty, I will look back, it must be meticulous, I still have some official business, you must be meticulous and fair, and you must not let me suffer from this small Japanese country, as Yue Meng said, be more guarded." ”Xuan Yuemeng sweated profusely, just walked one, and walked another, and the co-authorship became a matter for me and Xuan Hongtao Xuan Yuemeng had to find Nong Jinsun, imitate the trade treaty between Western countries, and then asked the opinions of several subordinates, and made a draft of the treaty, which was drafted in accordance with the focus that was beneficial to the Qing Dynasty.It is written in Chinese and Japanese.Nong Jinsun: "I don't know if I don't see it, the ambitions of the Japanese are too big, according to their treaty, this is to encroach on my Great Qing Kingdom step by step." ”Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "Do you just know that when you were in Japan, didn't you have an experience" Nong Jinsun nodded, "It's not that I don't have an understanding, I didn't think that they were really so arrogant, and I don't know how they have such big ambitions in a little big country" Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Because they are dogs, you throw a big fat pig countless times bigger than his body to the dog, and they still dare to eat it, who let us be a big fat pig that is bitten to death and doesn't make a sound." ”Nong Jinsun sighed, "Yes, there is such a court, Young Master Meng, is the treaty we are drafting here, is it interesting, the Japanese will never agree to it, don't let them put pressure on the court at that time, and agree to their unequal treaty, and then we will be busy in vain." ”Xuan Yuemeng's resolute gaze turned to the sky, "No, I won't let this kind of thing happen in this life, I'm going to play the Japanese from the beginning to death" Nong Jinsun was speechless, you are the emperor, the Empress Dowager Cixi didn't dare to say such a thing, in fact, Xuan Yuemeng didn't know how to deal with the Japanese, the country was too weak, what was the use of him being angry these days.Xuan Yuemeng has been busy with this matter, constantly improving the draft, knowing that Xuan Yuemeng feels that there is indeed no problem, it is already very detailed and accurate, he feels that if it is signed and sealed in accordance with this treaty, the Great Qing Kingdom will not suffer a little loss, so he is satisfied.In this process, Xuan Yuemeng came into contact with many diplomatic affairs and learned about some international diplomatic etiquette and diplomatic habits in this era.I didn't expect that I was a low-level scum in modern times, and now I can actually represent the Qing Dynasty, such a big country in the world to engage in diplomacy, which makes Young Master Meng sigh, he is only a one-year-old person, is it ridiculous, it is also the absurdity of the Qing court, the Qing court can hand over a country's diplomacy to the local governor to be fully responsible, and Li Hongzhang is willing to let Xuan Yuemeng participate, which will cause the one-year-old Xuan Yuemeng to help handle the signing of trade treaties with the Japanese, such a big foreign affairs.There are many coincidences, and it is not a coincidence.Moreover, the Qing court could let an American with carte blanche to represent China to sign diplomatic treaties around the world, so it was not funny to let a one-year-old child participate in diplomacy.No matter how young Master Meng is, he is also Chinese.A few more days.Japan's Minister Plenipotentiary of the Imperial Mission, Secretary of the Treasury Date Munejo, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Secretary of Foreign Affairs Yanagihara Maemitsu and his entourage of 20 people arrived in Tianjin by boat.Chen Qin, Xuan Hongtao, Xuan Yuemeng and others, according to Li Hongzhang's prior assignment, together with Jiangsu Zhensi Yamen Ying Baoshi, took their attachés to the dock to greet Date Zongcheng and his party.Date Munejo was flanked by Yanagihara Maemitsu and Hirobumi Ito.Ito Hirofumi looked at Xuan Yuemeng coldly, and whispered a few words to Date Zongcheng.Date Zongcheng snorted, "You Qingguo, is there no one, how can there be a one-year-old child in the greeting procession, what are you as the minister" Nong Jinsun translated the words of the Japanese.Xuan Yuemeng said coldly: "If you don't like to watch it, just get out, it's you who are looking for Qing diplomacy, not the Qing Dynasty, isn't the Japanese brain not easy to use" Chen Qin and Xuan Hongtao were shocked, they didn't expect Xuan Yuemeng to say this, isn't this looking for something In fact, Xuan Yuemeng is deliberately looking for fault, otherwise he wouldn't have had a seizure because of Date Zongcheng's words Xuan Yuemeng After that time Ito Hirobumi was looking for his people to compete, he had been thinking about Ito Hirobumi has always been polite, why did he refuse to cooperate with them Japanese as soon as he heard that he was not willing to cooperate with them.
Immediately turn your face.Xuan Yuemeng later figured it out, because diplomacy, this is a very simple truth, Ito Hirofumi knew that he was unwilling to cooperate with them, so it would be the best thing to remove himself from the diplomatic team of the Qing court.You let me go, I don't go, you will be angry with me, I will be even more angry with you on martial arts, the Qing Dynasty may not be able to suppress you, on industry, it has fallen behind a lot, but on diplomacy, on fighting, if you lose again, what is left in the Qing Dynasty Xuan Yuemeng's words have been exported, Chen Qin, Xuan Hongtao, and a group of accompanying officials were shocked and shocked, but no one went to scold Xuan Yuemeng in person, because Young Master Meng was originally a voluntary labor, and he was an additional helper invited by Li Zhongtang, and Young Master Meng was not a person in the yamen, and he has no official status and no remuneration.Ito Hirofumi was furious, and truthfully translated Young Master Meng's words to Date Zongcheng and Yanagihara Maemitsu and others, Date Zongcheng was furious, "It's too unreasonable, how can you Qingguo treat friends from neighboring countries who come to trade with you like this, I won't talk to you, I'm going to your prime minister's yamen, to your court to accuse you, we won't talk about it" Xuan Yuemeng sneered: "Hurry up and sue, I can sell you a few good horses and don't charge you profits, hehe." ”Xuan Yuemeng said this, the Japanese were obviously a little caught off guard, before they came, they had already imagined in advance the various situations they might encounter, how could they not expect that the Qing Kingdom was such an attitude, and there would be such a child as an obstacle In fact, the Japanese mission received a death order this time, the communication in this era is not developed, and the Japanese do not have the conditions to contact the emperor at any time, before coming, the Japanese emperor has ordered that the mission should establish diplomatic relations with the Qing State no matter what.
The Japanese simply have no way back t1706231537:
