As usual, Qin Zhiyuan greeted the guests at the entrance of the main hall, neither appearing cold nor overly enthusiastic.
Xu Shichang was very polite when he saw Qin Zhiyuan and bowed quite widely when shaking hands.
If you think about it, you can understand that the president of the Republic of China in this era really had no confidence in front of a king like Qin Zhiyuan.
Whether a national leader can stand up straight is closely related to national strength. For example, King Lanfang like Qin Zhiyuan will be treated like a distinguished guest no matter which country he goes to. For example, President of the Republic of China like Xu Shichang will not be treated like a honored guest.
, it would be good if you can receive them according to normal etiquette.
After a few people chatted at the door, Qin Zhiyuan took a photo with Xu Shichang and then entered the main hall.
The royal palace in Yecheng has six or seven halls with different functions, which are used to receive guests of different grades and adapt to different situations.
The one that entertained Xu Shichang was the largest one, with an area of hundreds of square meters. There were two rows of sofas lined up with coffee tables. Qin Zhichang felt that it was more far-sighted, and it felt normal in Xu Shichang's eyes.
When he was sitting on the sofa, Xu Shichang had not thought of how to speak.
Lanfang and the Republic of China are separated by a strip of water. We are truly brotherly countries. We should share our needs and help each other. We also hope that the civil strife in the Republic of China will subside as soon as possible, that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and that we Chinese can recuperate and recuperate. The life of the Chinese is really too hard. Xu Shichang originally
Let Qin Zhiyuan say everything he wanted to say.
What your Majesty said is, as your Majesty said, we all hope that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, but unfortunately some people just don't think so. A while ago, I sent Xinwu to Nanjing to contact the southern military government and try to sit down and form a coalition government.
After the war ended, I didn't expect that the KMT gang would humiliate Xinwu and then rush back to Peking. It was really unbearable. The hatred in Xu Shichang's eyes was strong.
When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it. What he is talking about is the situation like Xu Shichang's encounter with KMT.
Xu Shichang was a Jinshi, served in the Imperial Academy, presided over the imperial examinations, worked in landscapes, pine and bamboo, and was good at carving stones and writing books. He was a standard literati and was known as the President of Wenzhi.
KMT was actually called the Chinese Revolutionary Party before, and it was reorganized into KMT just two months ago. What do these people say? They nominally support the Democratic Republic, but they do not recognize the legal status of the Beiyang government. They themselves are in Nanjing.
A military government was established, claiming that the Nanjing military government was the legitimate government that complied with public opinion, and fought against the Beiyang government on separate sides.
This is very depressing. If it is helpful to you, you should admit it. If it is not good for you, it is that the Beiyang government is hijacking public opinion. This is simply unreasonable. Even if the Beiyang government is hijacking public opinion, public opinion is also willing to be hijacked. You
If you have the ability, go to kmt.
In fact, there are a lot of people in this world who just watch the excitement and don't take it too seriously. Not only foreigners, but also those yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana people in China, as well as the so-called gangsters in Shanghai, none of them are good.
Qin Zhiyuan understands these situations. To solve this problem, it cannot be explained in one or two sentences. Xu Shichang and Lu Zhengxiang need to sit down and talk slowly, so Qin Zhiyuan just laughed at Xu Shichang and planned to turn the page.
Xu Shichang had no intention of turning the page, and continued to complain: KMT is becoming more and more excessive. They had signed something like 21 with the Japanese before, and their party leader even said that they could control the outside world.
All of them are leased to the Japanese. This is simply stupid. After the Japanese were defeated, KMT approached the Americans and the British. I heard that they would use the tariffs for the next fifty years as collateral to loan the Americans and the British armed forces.
, It’s really a waste of time. We have just taken back our tariff autonomy, but we didn’t expect that these prodigals would mortgage them out again.
Regarding tariff autonomy, after the Xinchou Treaty was signed, in order to repay the compensation, the then Qing government used tariffs as collateral to borrow money from various countries to pay the compensation. When the Qing government collapsed in 1911, this debt fell to the newly born
On the Republic of China.
During the World War, due to the contribution of the foreign legions, various countries gave up their indemnities one after another. Only Japan insisted on asking for it. However, after Japan was defeated in the war with Lanfang, Japan's share also disappeared, so the Qing government was free to pay off the customs duties.
In fact, power has now been returned to the Republic of China.
It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. The Republic of China has not yet warmed up to its tariff autonomy, and was mortgaged by KMT to the Americans and British.
Haha, they have their own calculations. If they can defeat your Beiyang government now and establish the Republic of China government led by KMT, then no matter how much they pay, they will think it is worth the money. If KMT cannot defeat your Beiyang government
The government will not feel bad if they mortgage the tariffs, because they have never owned it. Qin Zhiyuan understands this mentality of KMT. Once upon a time, Qin Zhiyuan also had this mentality. Anyway, there is nothing that cannot be lost, so fight for it
Just a handful.
This can be regarded as being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
Therefore, your majesty, for the sake of hundreds of millions of people all over the world, please lend a helping hand. As long as the rebellion of kmt can be quelled, the Republic of China will always serve Lanfang as a brother. Xu Shichang is really anxious. It seems that if he can't get a definite answer now
, I couldn’t eat for a while.
Based on his brother Lan Fang, this can be seen as Xu Shichang has chosen to take sides.
I don’t know what Mr. Bu Wu needs Lan Fang to do. As long as the Lan Fang government can do it, we Lan Fang will definitely not refuse. Qin Zhiyuan and Lu Zhengxiang exchanged glances and then set the tone.
It was obvious that Xu Shichang breathed a sigh of relief, it would be easier to handle with this promise.
However, one thing must be stated first. Lanfang can help the Beiyang government train the army, provide guns and ammunition, and even provide food and grass supplies, but Lanfang will not directly send troops to intervene in the civil war of the Republic of China. This must be stated first. Qin Zhiyuan still has sense.
No matter what the Beiyang government wanted, Lanfang could provide it, even tanks and aircraft. But no matter what, Lanfang would not directly send troops to the Republic of China. At most, he would be a military staff officer responsible for training.
In the civil war of the Republic of China, the Chinese were fighting against the Chinese, which was equivalent to brothers Ni Qiang. At this time, no matter which side Lan Fang sided with, he would end up being a different person in the end, so Qin Zhiyuan had to declare this in advance.
That's no problem. As long as Your Majesty helps us, it will be easy for our Peking government to bulldoze Nanjing. Even if Your Majesty's people don't intervene directly, maybe in the end when we can't fight anymore, Your Majesty will need to help. Xu Shichang is already happy.
He was going crazy and his words were a bit incoherent.
In fact, no matter from the heart of Xu Shichang, or from the hearts of warlords such as Duan Zhiquan, Zhang Yuting, etc., they do not want Lan Fang to directly send troops to intervene in the civil war of the Republic of China. Lan Fang's interference is notoriously black. Look at the torn apart country now.
Russia, and looking at the completely transformed Goryeo, cannot help but worry those far-sighted people in the Republic of China.
That's great. Come on, let's take a seat. We won't talk about state affairs today, we will just talk about old friendships. Mr. Buwu and Zixin can talk about these things slowly tomorrow. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to spend money, that's Lu Zhengxiang's business.
Since it was a banquet for Xu Shichang, it must be a Chinese restaurant. It was not a big round table, but small tables one by one, one in front of each person.
Xu Shichang still noticed that former Prime Minister Huang Bohan was also present.
Just when Qin Zhiyuan and Xu Shichang entered the hall, Xu Shichang noticed that Huang Bohan was gathering with a few people and whispering.
When Qin Zhiyuan entered the restaurant, Huang Bohan naturally sat down next to Qin Zhiyuan and stood up to Lu Zhengxiang next to Xu Shichang.
Could it be that the rumors are wrong?
Xu Shichang was a little unsure, but Xu Shichang did not doubt it for a long time. Just when Lu Zhengxiang and Xu Shichang were confirming the agenda for tomorrow's negotiation, Huang Bohan suddenly interrupted: Your Majesty, tomorrow's Prime Minister Zi Xin and Mr. Bu Wu will only have a very important matter, so Bo Han I ask for your majesty's favor so that I can participate in it and gain insights.
Huang Bohan was not polite and had his distrust written directly on his face.
Huang Bohan is the representative of the indigenous residents of Lanfang, and Lu Zhengxiang is the representative of the new immigrants in Lanfang. They both represent the interests of different groups of people. Although they have a common goal of building a better Lanfang, the details are very different. ,
Lu Zhengxiang and Xu Shichang were former colleagues. Now Lu Zhengxiang is presiding over the negotiations between Lanfang and the Republic of China. Although Huang Bohan does not think that Lu Zhengxiang will bend the law for personal gain, it is still better to be prepared.
Brother Taiyuan, why do you need to do this? Lu Zhengxiang smiled bitterly when he was dedicated to the public.
Haha, Zixin, Huang, I believe you don't know how to do it, but if one person is short-term and two people are long-term, wouldn't it be better if I am by your side to give you detailed information? Huang Bohan insisted.
Don't say that Huang Bohan's reasons are far-fetched. There are some reasons that Huang Bohan cannot say.
Qin Zhiyuan established a two-party system in Lanfang, willing to let the two parties supervise and urge each other. Now that Lu Zhengxiang's Alliance Party and Huang Bohan's People's Party have been established, Huang Bohan and Lu Zhengxiang must make the two-party system truly work.
It can be said with certainty that Qin Zhiyuan established a two-party system, not to allow Huang Bohan and Lu Zhengxiang to form cliques for personal gain, but to form checks and balances in Lanfang and truly play the role of supervision on the stage and on the stage. In this way, Now that he understands Qin Zhiyuan's thoughts, Huang Bohan can only bite the bullet and go ahead.
Yes, Huang Bohan's intervention in the negotiation between Lu Zhengxiang and Xu Shichang will definitely arouse Lu Zhengxiang's resentment, but Huang Bohan can't care about it now. If you feel disgusted, just be disgusted. It is better to incur Lu Zhengxiang's resentment than to incur Qin Zhiyuan's resentment. many.
Okay, okay, tomorrow's negotiation will be led by Zixin and assisted by Taiyuan. You have to talk carefully and let Qin Zhiyuan come out to smooth things over.
