Zeng Siping looked at President Meng, and felt that Xuan Yuemeng had changed a lot, he hadn't seen it for two years, and he was more and more different from ordinary children, nine-year-old girls were already a little sensible, especially in an enlightened family like Zeng Jize, Zeng Jize was already able to speak two foreign languages, and he gave Zeng Siping a new-style school, but it was not the kind of new school run by President Meng, but a church school for foreigners directly, and President Meng's new school was almost the same.Such a girl is naturally sensible early.President Meng smiled at Zeng Siping: "What, don't you want to play" Zeng Siping blushed and followed Liu Yuqing.After Zeng Siping left, Zeng Jize said: "President, please give me a word, if you still recognize me as an uncle." ”President Meng said with a smile: "Uncle Zeng, sit down and say, no need to be born, the peace conditions I gave to Li Hongzhang and Yixuan are that Tianjin must belong to Huaguo, the entire Northeast and the land outside the Guanxi must belong to Huaguo, the Jiangnan region, the land that the Chinese army has occupied must also belong to Huaguo, north of Beijing, Datong to Zhangjiakou, to the line of Qinhuangdao, the areas that the Chinese army has occupied, all belong to the Chinese army, the Northeast, Mongolia, the northern land of the Qing Dynasty, all to Huaguo, Zhili territory, as long as Cangzhou and Tianjin, this is one of them, Second, the Qing court needed to pay Huaguo 200 million taels of silver, and at least 10 million taels of silver per year to make up for the losses of Huaguo, and third, the Qing court must establish Huaguo as the suzerain, and the requirements for revising Article 3 were very simple.
Dong'anmen allowed the Qing Kingdom to enter and exit. ”Zeng Jize was taken aback.President Meng didn't hide it from Zeng Jize, and directly told all his bottom line."
Uncle Zeng, that's all, you see, don't I want the Qing court to survive" President Meng smiled.Zeng Jize nodded, he is not a stupid person, although he is not as good as Li Hongzhang and the Empress Dowager Cixi, but as soon as he heard it, he understood everything, "Yue Meng wants to stabilize the imperial court first, so as to stabilize the rest of the entire Qing Dynasty, and eat the whole Qing Dynasty in one bite, one bite If you divide Beijing equally, it is equivalent to pinching the imperial court in your own hands, and the imperial court, from now on, is a puppet." ”President Meng nodded without hesitation, "Yes, that's probably what it means, however, I said that the Qing court will exist for twenty years, and within this period, I will definitely ensure that the Qing court will not fall, if there is no Xuan Yuemeng, the Qing court wants to survive for twenty years, and it is not necessarily, either it will be overthrown by an organization similar to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, or it will sell itself to the foreigner, and the huge China will be carved up completely." ”"This idea is the most robust and good idea."
Zeng Jize frowned, "I'm afraid, the imperial court will not agree, this condition is indeed too harsh, the first one is easy to say, the second and third are too harsh, the condition to share Beijing equally with the imperial court is also very harsh, not much better than the condition of letting the Great Qing State be a vassal state of China." ”President Meng smiled: "So, does Uncle Zeng have any way to make the Qing court compromise" "You actually asked me about it, the court came to me, originally let me be a lobbyist, Li Zhongtang didn't come, I came to see you first." ”Zeng Jize said with a smile: "Actually, it's not difficult, the royal family believes in feng shui dragon veins, Yue Meng only needs to use this threat, they will definitely obey" Meng President Khan, this idea is really bad enough.Where did Zeng Jize come to help the Qing court negotiate, it was clear that he had already begun to stand on his side and help himself come up with ideas" Okay, after listening to Uncle Zeng's words, I suddenly opened my mouth, this negotiation, there will be Uncle Lao Zeng" Zeng Jize shook his head with a wry smile: "At this time, if I don't know who to help, I really lived in vain, I'm afraid, my father knows that I helped Yue Meng come up with ideas, I'm afraid he will be unhappy." ”"Haha, Uncle Zeng, don't scare me."
President Meng shuddered when he thought of the dead Zeng Guofan.Zeng Jize said: "I am also for the sake of the common people in the world, I believe that even if my father is alive, he should be able to understand, Yuemeng's twenty-year period is not bad, if the world accepts Yuemeng, it will not take twenty years, the Qing court will naturally fall, and the world will be peaceful in the hands of Yuemeng, better than anything, if the world does not accept Yuemeng, it is useless to give you another twenty years, because, Yuemeng has now been able to easily overthrow the court, I am helping the people of the world to speak, I don't want the people to suffer, I don't want the warlords to divide the country, the country is carved up by foreigners, and I can't bear it, what is my generation engaged in foreign affairs for is not to revitalize China and develop industry?
”President Meng smiled and nodded, "Uncle Zeng's words are the best compliment to Yue Meng." ”"Well, I guess the Queen Mother will still send Li Zhongtang here, and I'll tell him when the time comes, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the Qing court."
Zeng Jize said firmly.Two days later, the Chinese army was preparing to welcome President Meng into Beijing.Li Hongzhang arrived in Tianjin, met with Zeng Jize, and the two of them came to find Xuan Yuemeng together.President Meng already had a way to deal with Li Hongzhang, so he naturally didn't panic, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhongtang, I heard that some Han people hate Manchurians very much, I think, I'd better move into Beijing soon, otherwise, it will be difficult to do it when there will be robbers digging up the Qing Emperor's tomb." ”"You" Li Hongzhang would never have thought that Xuan Yuemeng would come up with such a vicious method, this time, he really grasped the root of his life, he knew that with this article as a constraint, the Qing court would definitely comply: "Yuemeng, President Meng, if you do this, aren't you afraid that the people of the world will say that you have never dug up people's ancestral graves, my imperial court's Taizu Taizong entered the customs when he first entered the customs, and he did not dig the ancestral tombs of the Ming Dynasty, Kangxi Ye and Qianlong Ye also repaired the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum many times" President Meng smiled: "Lord Zhongtang, you are telling a joke, I mean, There may be robbers, do you want to say that I am a robber" President Meng said with a smile, naturally there is a majesty, majesty, and the appearance of the person, and the age of the person, it does not have much to do with it, with the power of the president Meng today, it is naturally not angry Li Hongzhang looked at Zeng Jize, and then looked at Xuan Yuemeng, "Is there no room for negotiation" t1706231537:
