Chapter 47 Section 47

Due to King Duan's order, the Prime Minister's Office has to notify Qixiu of all matters concerning external negotiations, so he has no time to spare after he arrives at ten o'clock in the morning. Churches, protests against killing foreigners and churchgoers, were sent to Qixiu one after another.For urgent affairs, Zhang Jing asked for instructions in person, but Qixiu had to ask his subordinates for advice first. What was the method in the past?This was a lot of work, and until five o'clock in the afternoon, the business was only half done. "It can't be done!" He said helplessly, "I have to talk about it tomorrow!"

Zhang Jing, the general manager, is called Tong Dezhang, a native of Sichuan, and he can save labor by persuading Qixiu, instead of doing everything by himself.While we were talking, someone came to report that Japanese Minister Komura Kotaro came to visit, saying that there was an extremely urgent and important event, and it was necessary to see the Prime Minister who was in power and could be responsible for the answer. This made it impossible for Qixiu to disappear, because if she pushed it to another prime minister, it would be tantamount to saying that she was not in power.However, although he was not like his teacher, who was heartbroken when the word "foreign" was mentioned, it was the first time he had met and talked with foreigners, so he couldn't help feeling timid.

He was still hesitating, but Tong Dezhang had already made the decision for him, "Please sit in the small living room of the Japanese Minister!" Tong Dezhang said again, "Let's see if Mr. Wang from the Russian stock market has left." "Master Wang" refers to Wang Zhangjing of the "Russian Stock". Qixiu had no choice but to see, only to see that there was anger hidden in Xiaocun's dignified expression.In order to "extend the power of heaven", Qixiu also faced each other awe-inspiringly, listening to Xiaocun's "gulu, gulu"

speak loudly. "My lord!" Wang Zhangjing looked worried, "Something has happened! This, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome." "what happened?" "Minister Komura said: They have received news that Admiral Xue Muer of the British Navy led 2,000 British, German, Russian, French, American, Japanese, Italian, and Austrian troops from Tianjin to Beijing..." "What?" Qixiu interrupted loudly, "What do you mean by coalition forces?" "It's the allied forces of Britain, Germany, Russia, France, the United States, Japan, Italy, and Austria, entering Beijing from Tianjin."

"The Allied Forces of Eight Nations!" Qixiu turned pale with shock, "How many people are there?" "two thousand." "Oh! Two thousand." Qixiu's expression and voice softened, "How is it?" "Going to Beijing from Tianjin, I heard that I have reached Yangcun, but because the railway is interrupted, I can't go further north..." "Okay!" Qixiu interrupted him again, "The railway should be burned, and if it doesn't burn it, it will always be a crime!" He was talking about important negotiations, and he kept talking about irrelevant gossip. How can he be a high-ranking official and do big things?Wang Zhangjing was quite displeased, and deliberately held back his hands and remained silent.

"Please go on!" "I'm waiting for adults to discuss it!" Wang Zhangjing said coldly. Qixiu knew that she was wrong, but she couldn't express her apology, so she just said: "Please finish your speech first. The coalition forces can no longer come north, what will happen next?" "The Japanese embassy learned of this and sent a clerk named Sugiyama Bin to inquire about the news. He drove out of Yongdingmen in a car. He was Admiral Dong's subordinate and dragged him out of the car. Without any explanation, he was stabbed in the chest." "Is it dead?"

"Of course he died! And he died horribly with the blades thrown at him." Wang Zhangjing said, "Minister Xiaocun came to protest." "What is he going to do?" "First of all, we must investigate the murderer, and second, we must pay compensation." "Investigate the murderer, where to investigate?" Qixiu replied, "Maybe it's the rioters, not the Gan army." "They have investigated, and it is indeed Admiral Dong's Gan Army." "Since the investigation has been completed, great! Ask him to tell the murderer's name, and we can go to ask for the murderer."

This is a very insincere reply, which is enough to anger the negotiating opponent.Wang Zhangjing knew that these stubborn Taoists were unreasonable, so he had to translate it according to the facts. Although the tone was relaxed, it still made Komura Jutaro very dissatisfied.However, Qixiu's speech was a fallacy, but it was very powerful. Xiaocun was blocked and had nothing to say, with a livid face, he got up and left. Qixiu never thought it would be so easy to dismiss!In addition to being stunned, he couldn't help but feel complacent, "There is no secret to doing foreign affairs," he actually said in the tone of an old senior, "It's just a matter of righteousness!" After saying that, he walked in, shaking his head.

"What the hell!" Tong Dezhang shook his head in a Sichuan accent, "You're looking for trouble for yourself!" "Mr. Tong," Wang Zhangjing said quietly, "this is very inappropriate. I think it's better to talk to King Qing." Tong Dezhang thought for a while and replied: "It is better to tell King Qing than to tell Rong Zhongtang. I am not inconvenient to go, please take a hard time. You tell Rong Zhongtang that things have reached this point, and we should fight. Make up your mind early, and you have to make a peace." It's early, the later the more disadvantages."
